After offending capital, my songs became more and more popular.

Chapter 231 Visiting the Divine Toilet? No, he went there to pee!

On the day of the dispersed performances, it rained heavily in the area where Shen Ming'en was located. It has to be said that this country is small, so when it rains, it rains almost all over the country, unlike where we are, where a few small dark clouds can't easily cover everything.

Shen Ming'en's hotel was booked near the Jingguo Divine Toilet. To be honest, the small size of this country really gives off a stingy vibe everywhere. The hotel he stayed in with the theater troupe before was at least a bit more spacious, but now that they're doing separate performances, the hotel prepared for Shen Ming'en is practically one of those capsule hotels you find online...

Moreover, Shen Ming'en didn't know if those people did it on purpose. Not only did he come to perform nearby alone, but Hoshino Rin also accompanied him, along with some theater staff.

And she even lives next door to him...

The afternoon before the performance, Shen Ming'en went to a rehearsal. Because it was the last day and because Shen Ming'en was quite familiar with the piece, the rehearsal went very smoothly. Shen Ming'en returned to the hotel before it even got dark.

"It's so damn wet..."

Back at the hotel, Shen Ming'en changed his shoes and threw the wet ones on the windowsill. This was already the third pair of wet shoes on the windowsill.

My shoes got completely soaked; rainy days are really annoying.

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Shen Ming'en opened the door and, as expected, saw Hoshino Rin standing there, twirling a strand of her short hair with her left index finger and holding a phone with a cartoon phone case in her right hand. Her dark-colored dress made her look very cool and eye-catching.

"Is there something you need?" Shen Ming'en asked helplessly.

Peeking out into the hallway and looking around, Shen Ming'en even asked, "How many people did you send to film me today?"

"Anyway, it's quite a lot," Hoshino Rin said, now that she was completely honest with Shen Ming'en, she winked at him without any hesitation and said, "Want to go out for dinner? I know a pretty good restaurant nearby."

"...Do you really have to hang out with me?"

Shen Ming'en was also somewhat helpless...

After thinking for a moment, he simply said:

"How about you take me to that clean and sacred toilet nearby?"

"?"

Hoshino Rin, who had been quite calm, suddenly had several question marks appear on her delicate face upon hearing this. She looked at Shen Ming'en with a strange expression and said with amusement:

"They're practically begging you to go, but instead, you're asking to go on your own initiative?"

Those capitalists would love to film Shen Mingen going to the sacred toilet, so they can use it to smear him on their country's social media.

The news of his performance at the Jingguo Temple had already distorted the narrative. Without concrete evidence, it would have been fine, but now that there is, Shen Ming'en could be "blacklisted" without even starting the performance.

“Hmm…” Shen Ming’en simply nodded and said, “Go see how they distort the facts and how they portray the cruel atrocities they committed against us as the greatest glory.”

Shen Ming'en had heard of this "clean toilet" before, but he mostly learned about it through social media and didn't know much about the specifics.

He just wanted to see how those shameless people distorted history, so that he would be even more motivated to criticize them tomorrow!

"They shouldn't be closed yet at this time, right?" he asked.

“No… no, there really isn’t…” Hoshino Rin shook her head, pondered for a moment, and then asked jokingly, “Hey, how about you go and pay your respects? After you do, my mission will be completed.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming'en gave her a look as if she were a lunatic, and then said, "I'd be lucky if I didn't burn this stupid place down, let alone go in and worship there..."

After saying that, Shen Ming'en put on his slippers and went out.

Seeing this, Hoshino Rin quickly followed. The two left the hotel, and because the hotel was located very close to the sacred toilet, it only took about ten minutes to walk there.

Hoshino Rin was very lively, introducing Shen Ming'en to various shops along the way. They even passed by the restaurant that Hoshino Rin had recommended. Unfortunately, Shen Ming'en had no appetite at all tonight. Damn it, his appetite hadn't been good since he arrived in this godforsaken place. He would have to get a hot pot to satisfy his taste buds once he got back to China.

Jingguo Temple is a place similar to a tourist attraction, like a famous temple in China. You're not allowed to bring a cell phone inside, and taking photos is strictly prohibited. As for why…

Ha, isn't it because they're afraid the contents will be leaked?
It should be noted that this place enshrines a total of 246.6 million people, of whom 232.5 million died in the war of aggression against our country and the Pacific War, which is more than 94 percent of the total number of deaths!
In addition, it also houses the memorial tablets of 14 Class A war criminals and about 2000 Class B and C war criminals.

Each of these people has their hands stained with the blood of countless ancestors and compatriots. Such people should be exhumed and their corpses whipped after death. In our words, even having their souls scattered wouldn't be enough to satisfy our hatred. And yet, they are still here enjoying offerings...

Just thinking about it made Shen Ming'en feel disgusted by the place. Even though there was no smell in the air, he seemed to smell an extremely awful stench.

The first hall that Shen Ming'en and his group visited was an exhibition of their historical records of invading other countries. What was disgusting was that they were the ones who invaded others, yet they described it as "heroic history."

Especially their actions of aggression against us, you have to admit they're recorded in quite a lot of detail. It's just that their demands for ceded territory and reparations are described as them "enduring hardship and biding their time"...

To claim that the war of aggression was caused by the strong resistance of our people is utterly absurd. According to them, they enslave our people and occupy our country, and we can't even resist?!
Their army committed arson, murder, and looting in our country, and they even had the audacity to claim that their troops would not commit illegal acts...

Looking for "pretty girls" everywhere, do you dare say that's not illegal?

As he walked and observed, seeing their distorted historical facts, Shen Ming'en gritted his teeth and clenched his fists more tightly...

These Japanese devils should be grateful they were born in a peaceful era. If there were still wars everywhere, we would have wiped them out long ago!

What angered Shen Mingen the most?
They glossed over the massacre in Nanjing!

Other wars have so many clear records, they can even turn black into white, but this one is the only one they can't even be bothered to whitewash...

They probably knew there was no way to wash it off!

How could we possibly let the hundreds of thousands of innocent souls of our nation go unpunished!

"Squeak..."

Shen Ming'en, who already had no liking for this godforsaken place, felt an urge to burn it down when he saw the wall full of photos of officers who participated in the invasion during the war!
Actually, when I was studying history in my own country, seeing those written words and black-and-white pictures, I didn't feel that deep a feeling...

Even at that age when you first learn about that period of history, it's still an age of sudden enlightenment.

But when he truly set foot on the land where the people who had once invaded them lived, and saw the fig leaf they had put on their faces, Shen Ming'en's anger truly burned fiercely.

What's the most infuriating thing?
They are visitors from their side, and many of them are young people.

Their education and teaching materials, especially those concerning the history of our war of aggression, are likely to distort the facts just like they do here.

To be honest, the young people here are quite pitiful...

Many people know nothing about the history of that time. Those who are educated by such history not only do not feel sorry for the invasion of us, but also think that the actions of their ancestors were "glorious", "great" and "heroic"!
Are they still plotting something?

The new generation they are being taught believes they have done nothing wrong, so that when war breaks out again in the future, the new generation will also go to the battlefield without hesitation to support the country, with the men fighting and the women serving as comfort women.
Huh~
What a bunch of bastards! Shen Ming'en didn't say a word the whole way. Perhaps he knew something about those past "historical events." So, as a Japanese girl, Hoshino Rin didn't talk to Shen Ming'en at all. Occasionally, when they passed some particularly cruel historical events, a look of "apology" would flash across her delicate face.

Not everyone in this island nation is blinded by what their ancestors and superiors want them to see; some people do see the truth.

It's worth mentioning that as Shen Ming'en strolled around, Hoshino Rin would occasionally glance behind them. Not far behind her and Shen Ming'en, there were always a few NPCs. They were either holding a camera or a mobile phone. Although they didn't dare to take pictures inside due to the rules, they basically took pictures the whole time in the open-air area.

They filmed Shen Mingen entering the sacred toilet in crystal clarity!

Once these things are released, the impact on Shen Ming'en will be extremely negative!
"Tsk..."

Standing next to Shen Mingen, Hoshino Rin turned to look at him. To be honest, she really didn't know what Shen Mingen was thinking. Knowing that his identity was sensitive and that he was already walking on the edge of public opinion, how could he still dare to come to the Jingguo Divine Toilet at this time!

Do you think one performance isn't enough to ruin yourself?
Really are……

Although she had only known Shen Mingen for a few days and had been sent to "mess with" him, for some reason, Hoshino Rin was inexplicably... a little worried about him.

it's good now.

Now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, things will likely start to get serious about him back home!

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Qin General Company.

"President Qin, President Qin! Great news!"

When the assistant walked into the office with his phone, President Qin was just about to pack up and leave the company. Seeing the assistant's delighted expression, President Qin wasn't angry; instead, he waved his hand dismissively.

"What are you so happy about?"

"Shen Ming'en!" the assistant called out as he walked over, phone in hand. "He went to visit the sacred toilet!"

"What?"

Even President Qin was taken aback when he heard this...

When President Qin turned to look at his assistant, his expression seemed to say, "Is this really true?"

"Is this kid crazy?" President Qin chuckled, taking his assistant's phone. What he saw wasn't just pictures from Xiao Rizi's side, but a live stream from them!
In the live stream, accompanied by Hoshino Rin, Shen Ming'en was touring the sacred toilet...

"We really didn't pay such a high price to have that Japanese girl accompany Shen Ming'en..." the assistant said.

Clearly, he believed that Shen Ming'en went to the sacred toilet because of Hoshino Rin.

"Even heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman!" President Qin couldn't help but sigh.

Although we don't know exactly what happened, Shen Ming'en appeared at the Sacred Toilet the night before the performance and went to visit it. Even if he didn't worship, the people of our country can no longer tolerate him!

Thinking of this...

President Qin stroked his chin, gazing at the live stream screen before him, a knowing smile playing on his lips. He then asked his assistant:
"Can this be broadcast?"

"what?"

The assistant didn't quite understand what President Qin meant at first, but after a short pause...

"Oh! Oh! Okay, okay!"

The assistant nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll contact the live streaming platform right now and make sure this gets out of the news as soon as possible!"

With that, the assistant picked up his phone and left President Qin's office.

Sitting on the sofa in his office, looking down at the city night view through the floor-to-ceiling windows, President Qin smiled slightly.

This time...

Hajime is doomed!
……

Online discussions about Shen Mingen's performance at the Jingguo Shen Ce (a type of restroom) remain high. The topic itself and Shen Mingen himself have been incredibly popular, consistently ranking high on the trending search list for the past two days. At this time, a piece of news suddenly appeared in the view of many viewers!
#Shen Ming'en visits the Jingguo Sacred Toilet!#

This is a title tagged with "New," "Explosive," and "Live," representing the latest news, trending news, and... respectively.

Live broadcast.

The message was simple: a Chinese person happened to bump into someone who looked a lot like Shen Ming'en near the Jingguo Sacred Toilet. Upon entering, they were surprised to find that it was indeed Shen Ming'en. So, they started a live stream to show the Chinese people what Shen Ming'en was really like!
【This...this...】

【?! ?! ?! 】

When countless netizens saw Shen Mingen's face on the live stream camera, the chat exploded with comments:
[It really is Hakim!?]

[Damn, I even spoke up for him today, and he actually visited the Clean God's Toilet?!]

[He's gone mad! This kid's really gone mad; he's not even pretending anymore!]

[Aaaaaah, where's my knife?! I'm going to chop him to pieces!]

[If you're so capable, don't go back to China, or I'll beat him up every time I see him!]

……

As the buzz grew, more and more people came to watch the live stream. Within 10 minutes of the news trending on social media, the number of people watching online at the same time had already exceeded 10, and it was still skyrocketing at a visible speed!
Many fans and supporters don't understand. Has Shen Mingen gone mad? Why is he going to the Jingguo Temple at this time?!

Don't they know those people are just waiting to see him make a fool of himself?
Could it be that he really is a traitor?

While some are worried, others are happy. Seeing this, President Qin and his team couldn't be happier...

But at that moment, how could they have imagined that Shen Ming'en, a celebrity, would next be standing at the entrance of the sanctuary...

He peed!
