Chapter 197 Japan is enraged! Military action is taken!
however.
Inside the Xi'an Museum.
It was peak tourist season, and the exhibition hall was packed with people.
In front of a glass display case, a young female guide is smiling as she introduces the artifacts to a group of tourists.
"Distinguished guests, what you are seeing now is one of our museum's most prized treasures—the Qin Yangling Marquis Sword!"
"This sword was unearthed from the tomb of the Marquis of Yangling!"
"Cast entirely in bronze, it remains sharp even after more than two thousand years, showcasing the highest level of bronze smelting technology in the Qin Dynasty..."
Before she finished speaking, things changed.
Under the watchful eyes of dozens of people!
The bronze-lustered sword in the glass display case lost its shine instantly, replaced by mottled rust.
In the blink of an eye.
A bronze sword, right before everyone's eyes, transformed into a rusty iron sword.
"what!"
A female tourist was the first to scream.
"Holy crap! The sword! The sword has changed!"
"What happened? It was bronze just now, how did it suddenly rust?"
"Is it magic, or am I seeing things?"
The surrounding tourists immediately stirred.
Everyone gathered around, their faces filled with disbelief.
The tour guide froze on the spot, his mind going completely blank.
She rubbed her eyes, staring wide-eyed at the rusty sword in the display case.
It took her a full three seconds to react. Her face turned pale, and she rushed to the wall and pressed the red emergency alarm.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire museum.
No one knew what had happened.
Several security personnel rushed in immediately, and when they saw the situation inside the display case, they were all dumbfounded.
The incident occurred in less than ten minutes.
Reporters from all walks of life, having already caught wind of the news, flocked to the entrance of the Xianyang Museum with their camera equipment.
A national treasure-level cultural relic underwent a "mutation" in full view of the public!
This is absolutely the most explosive news of the year!
Get a promotion and a raise!
Marry a beautiful, rich, and successful woman!
No problem!
However, just as the reporters were preparing to rush in and grab firsthand information—
Sudden.
Several all-black cars sped up and came to a steady stop in the square in front of the museum, blocking all the entrances.
The car door opened, and a group of men and women dressed in black combat uniforms, with cold expressions and efficient movements, jumped out of the car.
They are well-trained!
Without saying a word, they quickly set up a cordon, keeping all reporters and onlookers who had rushed to the scene outside.
The man in the lead walked straight toward the museum director and several local police officers.
He showed her a dark red ID card with a blank expression.
"The 749 Bureau, a top-level state secret unit, is taking over this area!"
"From this moment forward, this area is under our complete control. No one is allowed to enter!"
The curator and the police officers stared at the document, exchanging bewildered glances, cold sweat instantly breaking out on their foreheads.
"Bureau 749?"
The moment that name was mentioned!
The reporters and crowd who were blocked outside immediately erupted in chaos!
"What? Bureau 749? That's the legendary mysterious department that handles supernatural events?"
"Holy crap! I always thought it was an urban legend, a joke made up online, but I never expected... I never expected it to be true!"
"Look at their gear, their aura—they're definitely not ordinary people!"
"My God, what did I just see today? A live 749th Infantry! China really does have 749 Infantry!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, their faces filled with shock and horror.
They held up their phones, no longer pointing the cameras at the museum, but at the mysterious figures dressed in black combat suits.
But the crowd was quickly calmed down and evacuated!
However, some videos still circulated online.
TikTok platform.
A 15-second short video titled "[#Live Coverage#Xi'an Museum#The Legendary 749 Bureau Appears]" was released.
Within half an hour of its release, it had received over a million likes.
Comments and reposts have increased exponentially.
The comments section below the video was instantly flooded with messages:
[Is it finally here? I've been waiting for this call for years!]
[To the person upstairs: I'm at the Foundation Establishment stage. Add me for 50 points, and I'll help you draw Qi into your body!]
Stop arguing! I'm a toilet cleaner from Bureau 749, I can vouch for this – it's true!
[Everyone stand! Respectfully welcome the Dragon King back to his throne!]
My mom asked me why I was kneeling while scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), and I said I was paying homage to a divine miracle!
……
Cherry blossoms in Japan, just across the sea.
The headquarters of the Cabinet Information Research Office (CIRO) in Tokyo.
"Baka! Baka yarou!"
A sharp roar echoed throughout the conference room.
A man with gray hair slammed a document on the table, his chest heaving violently.
He is none other than Hiroshi Kitagawa, the current head of CIRO.
On the huge screen in the center of the conference room, the video of the Xianyang Museum that had just been shown was playing repeatedly.
Although the image is blurry, the bizarre scene of the bronze sword turning into rusted iron in an instant was clearly recorded.
"I saw it all!"
Kitagawa Hiromitsu, his eyes red, roared:
"First, there was the genetic mutation of potatoes, and then the records of 'Emperor Jimmu' Xu Fu were erased from Chinese historical books!"
"Now, it's their Qin Dynasty bronzes that have undergone such a bizarre change!"
He slammed his hand on the table, his voice filled with anger.
"It all points to the same source!"
"The Qin Dynasty!"
"The Chinese! They must have interfered with history through some supernatural means that we cannot understand!"
"They are distorting our roots and denying our origins!"
"This is the most fundamental provocation and insult to the Yamato people! It is a desecration of our sacred history!"
Inside the meeting room.
The dozen or so high-ranking intelligence officials and history experts all had ashen faces and were filled with righteous indignation.
"Lord Kitagawa is right! We can no longer sit idly by and wait to die!"
"This is an attack on the very foundation of our nation!"
"We must take action! We must lodge the strongest protest with the Chinese government!"
"They must immediately cease this despicable behavior and issue a public apology to the world!"
"Protest? Apologize? Naive fellow!"
Another hawkish official sneered.
Do you think they'll admit it?
"Will any people believe it?"
"Speaking out about this kind of supernatural power would only make me look like an idiot!"
"I propose that we immediately initiate military operations to demonstrate our resolve and strength!"
"I second that! Only strength can instill awe in them!"
"..."
However, none of them noticed.
In the corner of this conference room, there was a camera disguised as a screw, smaller than a pinhole.
It is quietly and faithfully recording everything that is happening here.
……
749 Bureau Headquarters Command Center.
Inside Zhu Feng's private office, a huge screen was simultaneously broadcasting the Sakura Cabinet meeting.
Every detail is crystal clear.
Zhu Feng remained expressionless as he watched the arrogant shouts on the screen.
But his gaze grew colder and colder!
