After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Extra 7.1

At a café, in a corner seat by the window, a young man was drinking tea.

He had an extraordinary temperament and handsome features, but his expression was gentle, revealing a maturity that didn’t match his age. He had been sitting here for half an hour, seemingly handling work, occasionally answering phone calls with a very gentle speaking voice.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, but the other party was clearly late.

“On the left side at the entrance, saw it?” Wang Chang’er said softly.

“Saw, saw.”

Ming Jie, who had just entered the coffee shop, turned his gaze and immediately spotted Wang Chang’er, who was the most eye-catching among the crowd.

He had been back in the modern world for about half a month. During the first few weeks, he was busy with his own affairs, and only recently had time for chatting or meeting up. Yesterday, Ming Jie had invited Wang Chang’er, but Ming Jie had never been good with time management, and sure enough, he was late.

“Sorry, Brother Wang.”

Ming Jie hurriedly walked over with a playful smile.

Wang Chang’er didn’t mind his tardiness because there was something else he cared about more, or rather, he was very curious and very excited about!

“Come, sit down.”

Wang Chang’er gestured and then explained. “Yesterday, Fifth Cub told me They were going to be on TV, the recorded program is about to air.”

Ming Jie had just sat down when he immediately widened his eyes, “What! They went on a show?”

Wang Chang’er nodded, “Yes, and it’s an interview program. They brought the production team to Their home.”

Ming Jie had just taken a sip of tea and almost spat it out, excitedly saying, “Se-seriously? Did this production team come back alive?”

Wang Chang’er smiled and said, “Our nephew and niece cats aren’t some fierce beasts, it’ll be fine.”

Ming Jie stiffly said, “They’re scarier than fierce beasts.”

This was true – any Abyss Lord had star-destroying level power. It was shocking enough that They were all under the same roof, let alone living there for so long… It was simply a miracle.

“Don’t worry, with Xiu around, They won’t cause trouble, and They understand humans very well.”

Wang Chang’er spoke calmly, glanced at the time in the bottom right corner, and said expectantly. “It’s about to start, let’s watch together.”

Ming Jie immediately sat up straight, becoming nervous.

This program was being broadcast simultaneously on a video website. Even though it hadn’t started broadcasting today, the viewership had already broken ten million and was still rising.

Looking carefully, the comment section had already exceeded 100,000 comments and was still increasing.

“What’s going on?” Ming Jie couldn’t help but ask.

“It seems they also livestreamed during the interview. That livestream had quite a few viewers, the popularity was very high, but I didn’t watch it.”

Wang Chang’er explained.

Ming Jie was shocked. The recorded broadcast was already nerve-wracking enough, and to think there had been a livestream before. That scene was unimaginable – did they really survive?

But since everything was calm now, it also meant the content wasn’t problematic, right?

Ming Jie was both curious and expectant.

Like him, there were countless other viewers who were regular audience members of the show but didn’t watch the livestream, and they were wondering why their treasured show suddenly became so popular.

“Did they do some kind of promotion?”

“Heard they warmed up with a livestream.”

Some people discussed.

But despite the confusion, the program started on time.

The program began with Xiaolin’s usual self-introduction, which was very normal.

The scene changed, showing Xiaolin bringing the production team to meet a young man in red clothes and pants.

The comments first exploded in a small wave.

[Haha, this guest looks so fun, his eyes show a kind of purity untainted by society]

[His face is so amazing, he can actually pull off such striking clothes]

[Haha, as someone who watched the livestream, I won’t spoil it, this is just the beginning~]

[What do you mean???]

Looking at the young man smiling foolishly on screen, Ming Jie couldn’t help but say, “Isn’t that Sixteenth Nephew Zepar?”

Wang Chang’er nodded, “Yes, He likes wandering around, it’s normal that He got caught for an interview.”

On screen, the young man smiled and agreed to the interview, enthusiastically leading the production team back home.

[Cherish this moment, Xiaolin]

[LOL, at this moment Xiaolin still doesn’t know how serious the situation is]

[Damn, stop talking, you’re making me so anxious!]

The conversation in the car wasn’t fully recorded, but Zepar’s mention of twenty-four siblings still caused a commotion in the comments.

[No way, what era is this, how can there be such a big family]

[He must have included cousins in the count, right]

Many viewers doubted their ears, but on screen, Zepar looked silly and honest, not like someone who would lie.

The viewers felt confused.

[W-what’s going on!]

The situation before they reached the entrance wasn’t recorded, as the official program couldn’t reveal the guest’s real location.

But just looking at the entrance, viewers could feel a sense of affluence and leisure.

The scene changed, Zepar opened the door, led the production team into the foyer, then lowered His head to greet.

[What is he doing?]

[Is there someone on the floor?]

Middle-aged and elderly viewers were completely confused, just like Xiaolin, until the camera moved forward and captured a large orange cat. Then Zepar actually called it elder brother!

[Ah, he’s calling a cat brother?]

[I suddenly widened my eyes!!]

[Haha, sure enough, nine out of ten orange cats are fat]

Ming Jie almost had a heart attack when he saw the orange cat, thinking They would be exposed, but surprisingly, the viewers accepted it so quickly.

“Is this some common setting?”

Next, the cow cat and ragdoll cat appeared.

The comments exploded again.

[The cat army has arrived!]

[Babies come here, there are fish treats here~]

[Hmph, not cute at all, mail them to me so I can see]

[I can see the abacus beads bouncing off your face!]

Then Marbas appeared, and His supreme beauty immediately triggered countless swooning comments.

[Fifth Brother’s kitchen staff has arrived, everyone make way]

[Fifth Brother is my bias, I’ve already printed Fifth Brother’s photos on my wall]

[Huh? Are you normal, person above!]

Ming Jie was dumbfounded – how did his nephews suddenly become like idols, even getting fan clubs in an instant?

Wang Chang’er couldn’t help but laugh. “Finally a reliable brother appeared.”

Ming Jie had already wiped his sweat several times by now, always feeling like They were about to be exposed.

Next, the camera turned to the living room, capturing Samikina by the window.

The comments immediately exploded at an absolutely terrifying speed.

[Screaming—— what a magnificent face!!]

[Fourth Brother’s kitchen staff rushing in, flood the comments]

The screen suddenly burst with special effect comments showing support.

[I’ve watched so many shows, but this is the first time I’ve seen this kind of situation…]

Uninformed viewers were all dumbfounded.

Ming Jie couldn’t help but say after watching, “Their faces are really breaking the rules, right? It would be a dimensional strike even across the entire internet.”

Wang Chang’er said, “Nothing we can do, who told Xiu to be a severe beauty obsessed freak?”

Ming Jie choked, unable to refute.

Beauty is a weapon, the key to competing for favor, right?

Next, the camera captured the flat-faced Garfield cat.

The comments were instantly filled with auntie fans.

[I’ll lead the comments for Garfield baby!!]

[Help, I didn’t notice much during the livestream, but looking now he’s really chubby, such a gas tank]

[Feels like it would be so comfortable to pat (^～^)]

[The emoticon above doesn’t look like you want to pat, it looks like you want to eat it!]

The comments were in chaos, and then the gaming otaku Bachin suddenly appeared on screen.

[Damn, I’m also a shut-in, why don’t I have these looks]

[I’ll form Eighteenth Brother’s comments!!]

The comments exploded again and again, some people even started to suspect this was scripted, saying this couldn’t be one family, they must have found a group of cats and models.

But the doubts were quickly dispelled because—— even models couldn’t be found this beautiful.

And the relationship between Them clearly showed They were real brothers!

[The power of genes is terrifying!!]

[My favorite beauties and cats in the same space… blessed]

[Wait, who exactly are these daddys??]

Then, Aelioge made a brief appearance, once again causing huge waves in the comments.

What happened during the livestream happened again, and Aelioge quickly disappeared without a trace.

At this point, Xiaolin entered interview mode, learning many things about the family from Marbas’s mouth.

The viewers finally believed it.

[It can’t be acting, They’re really one family]

[But it’s so amazing…]

Ming Jie was fine watching up to this point, but then he heard Marbas mention “Big Brother”, “Second Brother”!

Ming Jie couldn’t hold back anymore, excitedly saying, “This is deadly, Fifth Nephew, They are unspeakable!”

However, the host Xiaolin was really brave, he actually wanted to go up to meet Big Brother!

That was the demon god Baal, the strongest being in the universe! Ming Jie was so nervous he wanted to rush into the screen.

However, Wang Chang’er was immersed in the beautiful fur color of the blue cat, seemingly not worried at all.

“Brother Wang, isn’t your focus a bit wrong?”

On screen, the production team went from the first floor to the second floor, first seeing Morax sleeping on the balcony.

The contrast between Their appearance and preferences triggered many comments calling Them cute.

[Haha he really likes planets]

As Xiaolin was about to enter the training room, Ming Jie seemed to be breathing together with countless viewers.

When that door opened, Ming Jie almost suffocated, but fortunately only Paimon appeared on screen.

But the comments also exploded, their brains bombarded by powerful beauty.

[Ninth Sister’s support team in position!!]

[My goodness, those arm muscles are so beautiful, feels like one punch could take out ten of me]

Ming Jie completely understood the viewers’ excitement. He had the same feeling when he first saw Them all appear together.

It was simply a lethal dose of impact.

Ming Jie turned his head to look at Wang Chang’er.

Wang Chang’er wasn’t infatuated with the people, but with the fluffy creatures. He had already started rubbing the air!

This poor uncle, despite visiting Xiu’s home multiple times, never had a chance to pet the cats.

Ming Jie shook his head and turned to carefully watch the interview content.

On screen, Paimon shared Her story with Big Brother, and also talked about some family history.

Wang Chang’er seemed to come back to his senses and said with emotion. “They can already talk about the past peacefully.”

Ming Jie paused briefly, his eyes flashing with heaviness, “It means They’ve turned the page, right?”

The matter of losing Their father at a young age undoubtedly left an indelible scar in Their hearts. Fortunately, Brother Xiu finally came back, otherwise who knows how it would have ended.

On screen, Paimon accidentally let something slip, but the netizen viewers were too carefree and didn’t notice anything wrong, just thinking it was chuunibyou.

[Haha, Ninth Sister is so cute]

Watching the interview proceed naturally, Ming Jie suddenly said, “They’ve integrated quite well here.”

He had worried about Them before, but reality proved there was no need – They were too reliable.

Wang Chang’er smiled and said, “Maybe the cognitive manipulation has already begun.”

Ming Jie was suddenly shocked, immediately remembering a figure, “Did Agares add a buff?”

Wang Chang’er shook his head. “Don’t know, but maybe, so no matter what happens, the viewers won’t notice the real abnormalities. Agares is omniscient and omnipotent, very caring about His brothers and sisters, He might have unconsciously helped adjust the cognition of people around Them.”

Ming Jie widened his eyes, but soon felt it made sense. Agares’s cognitive manipulations were always undetectable – if you hadn’t already realized its existence, you would never discover it.

Anyway, the nephew and niece cats were essentially very good children, inheriting Their father’s humanity to different degrees.

Wang Chang’er seemed to remember something and turned to ask, “Ming Jie, didn’t you used to say Xiu was a bit inhuman?”

Ming Jie nodded. “I did say that.”

Wang Chang’er asked curiously, “Why?”

“Because… I always felt his good personality wasn’t real.”

Ming Jie candidly said, “I used to doubt it, secretly observed for a while, and later finally believed it was his true nature.”

Wang Chang’er looked back at the screen and slowly said, “Is that so.”

Ming Jie smiled and said, “Anyway, in the end we got to know each other and became good friends.”

While they were chatting, the comments exploded with countless screams.

Because the second training room opened, faintly revealing “Big Brother’s” figure.

[Big Brother Big Brother!!]

[I’ll form Big Brother’s presence ╭(′▽`)╭(′▽`)╯]

Viewers who hadn’t seen Him before all held their breath.

The scene changed, and that figure’s mighty aura simply overflowed the screen!

Even though it was already a recorded broadcast, the network experienced shocking delays.

The comments were filled with unprecedented full-screen screams, all shouting about the killing power of His eyes at first sight.

Even in their coffee shop, someone suddenly shouted, “Big Brother is here!”

To prevent accidents, the production team only recorded for a few seconds, but even though it was just a few seconds, they were already terrified, every cell and gene was screaming!

Ming Jie and Wang Chang’er, as experienced heroes who had seen much, still couldn’t help but feel shocked.

[Xiaolin hang in there, come on!]

[Haha, I told you you’d be shocked]

[More than shocked, that one glance just now I almost saw my grandmother]

[Am I the only one who feels electrified? My scalp- no, my whole body is numb…]

[Above, that’s called the feeling of love at first sight]

Ming Jie couldn’t help but laugh, “Silly child, that’s not love at first sight, you were really electrified.”

Then, after Xiaolin finally regained consciousness, he indirectly learned more stories from Marbas’s mouth.

The comments suddenly changed style.

[Comrades, type “tears” in the comments]

[Aww! Big Brother protects His brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters protect the best Big Brother]

[God, daddy’s story is also so heartbreaking…]

Ming Jie recalled in his heart and asked, “Do you remember when Baal was young?”

Wang Chang’er shook his head directly, “He was extraordinarily cute when He was young, but unfortunately only stuck to Xiu.”
