But Mikaxi is different. She once personally interviewed the god Zeus, Philando Gomes, and it was because of that interview that she became famous on the Internet and officially entered the field of self-media related to superhero content.
After that, she gradually emerged as a prominent figure, with a sensitivity to trending topics far exceeding that of ordinary self-media creators. As a result, she thrived in her career, always able to discover future phenomenal figures.
For example, a few years ago she interviewed the newly debuted magical girl Ash, although Ash ignored her completely and directly shot her phone with Cinderella.
Fortunately, the video was synced to the cloud, and the next day it garnered tens of thousands of views online, briefly topping the Weibo hot search list and remaining high on the charts of foreign video platforms.
After seeing the trending video on Weibo a few days ago, she had a premonition that this "dice monster" would become the next phenomenon.
Today, she witnessed Blue Owl's outfit firsthand. Although it was cheap and rough, the colors were flamboyant and exaggerated, like the kind of look that only appears in low-budget tokusatsu dramas.
However, his fighting movements were exceptionally clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation. Combined with the extremely vibrant red and blue tones, the shooting effect was stunning and highly entertaining.
In a world filled with cold-toned superheroes who feign profundity and gloom, cautiously avoiding negative publicity, Blue Owl's appearance is like a bright, incongruous splash of color, piercing the deathly silence of the ocean.
Times have changed.
Nowadays, people value superheroes' entertainment value and ability to generate enough buzz more than their actual strength.
And there is no doubt that Mikaxi saw the potential to generate buzz in the Blue Owl.
And that's not all.
Tonight, while discovering the Blue Owl, she also encountered the villain she had been watching for two weeks—the Dice Monster—as if it were some kind of gift from fate.
Mikaxi took deep breaths again and again, her heart pounding like a thousand tiny people tapping their feet.
She knew very well that this might be her only chance to become famous overnight.
She could not back down here; despite the danger, she had to stand in the center of the crossroads.
Taking a step back means missing out on thousands of exposures!
At that moment, the words of the Dice Monster broke the noise of the world and reached Mikaxi's ears.
"Hey...why aren't you talking to me, 'Blue Owl' classmate?"
It tilted its head and asked the blue owl, word by word.
The blue owl raised its head and looked up at the gray humanoid figure sitting on the fashion billboard, meeting its gaze.
"Uh, bro, has anyone ever told you this...?"
After a long pause, he spoke in a serious yet hesitant manner.
Blue Owl's voice was processed by the voice changer on his combat suit, making it sound like a young man a few years older than himself, with a slightly deep and hoarse tone.
"You said I...what?"
The strange creature raised a non-existent eyebrow and slightly grinned, anticipating the other party's evaluation of it.
Like a child waiting for the teacher's comments in class.
The blue owl hesitated for a moment, maintaining a reserved tone as if it wanted to say something but couldn't, and slowly said, "I mean... I mean, you're very ugly. Has no one ever told you that?"
Upon hearing this, the passersby gathered at the intersection burst into loud laughter, and flashes of light and the clicking sounds of cameras drowned out the noise of the crowd.
Upon seeing this, the strange thing first made a "slightly open mouth and jaw drop" expression, then remained silent for a few seconds, lowered its face, and turned the corners of its mouth down.
Finally, it sighed, shook its head, and said...
"Hey buddy, while I admit I'm not exactly handsome, as a superhero, isn't it a bit much for you to make personal attacks on me in public?"
Blue Owl shrugged, and said as he walked toward him, "To be precise, I haven't become a superhero yet, so I don't need to regulate my words and actions."
“Oh, then that doesn’t prevent us from being friends, does it?” the strange thing said. “Since you’re not a superhero yet, there’s no need to be so rigid in your stance.”
Blue Owl sighed, tilted his head slightly, and the beak on his mask swayed. "What a joke. I won't be friends with a wanted criminal unless you turn yourself in to the Superhero Association."
"That's a pity, you're too rigid." The strange thing said, then suddenly raised a finger, its tone becoming increasingly sinister, "I suggest you don't come near me, I'm about to unleash a powerful attack."
"Shall we roll the dice?"
The blue owl didn't stop, scoffing dismissively.
“I’ve seen your trick online. Last time you recruited a group of Brazilians to dance Brazilian dance under the towers around Beijing. That video really made me laugh, and I watched it several times.”
"That was just an accident, an accident, you understand?" The strange thing seemed to be getting impatient, and angrily spread its hands. "Besides, the ultimate move I'm talking about isn't rolling dice. Rolling dice is nowhere near as fun as controlling your rhythm."
"Rhythm?" The blue owl looked at it amusedly. "What are you trying to say?"
"It's like this," the strange thing paused, then raised its voice, "has anyone ever said that your battle suit looks a lot like that damned Blue Raven, that rat everyone wants to kill?"
Upon hearing this, the blue owl's playful gaze suddenly turned serious, and it stared at it silently.
Seeing this, the strange thing's tone became even more mocking, as if it was excited by having hit the other party's weak spot.
"Do you know... the status of that stinky crow in China? To imitate him and think you can become a beloved superhero is simply delusional."
The blue owl was silent for a moment, then lowered its voice and spoke almost word by word.
“Then I’ll be frank…” He paused, lowered his head, and continued speaking under the gaze of thousands of people, “You simply don’t understand the Azure Crow.”
After this outburst of words, pedestrians within a hundred-meter radius fell silent for a moment, as if someone had pressed the mute button.
The world was deathly silent, like a machine that had stopped working, with faces etched with shock beneath the neon lights.
But the gaze of the self-media creator mikaxi gradually became fervent, and she even held her phone unsteadily, her hands trembling with excitement.
She thought to herself, "Yes, that's it! This is the effect I want. If you can talk, then talk more! This traffic will explode and become number one on all platforms, both domestically and internationally!"
Upon hearing this, the strange thing was silent for a second, then covered its face with its hands and sighed deeply, as if to say, "This child is beyond redemption."
However, the blue owl continued to spout politically incorrect remarks, causing the onlookers to gasp in shock.
"He is a true hero, and it is because I admire him that I chose to wear this battle suit."
Blue Owl spoke calmly, slowly raising his eyes, his gaze behind his glasses as resolute as a statue.
"And from the moment I put on this battle suit, I thought... I would never care about anyone's opinion, but would only do what I believe is right."
As soon as he finished speaking, the strange thing could no longer hold back.
"My God, are you kidding me?"
As the strange thing spoke, it leaned against the billboard and gagged, then wiped its mouth with its hand.
"So this is your excuse for making such a poor imitation of him... Any teenager could make that battle suit you're wearing. It's so stupid it makes me want to vomit, and yet you're the only one here who understands Blue Raven."
It paused, then sneered: "You know too much. The criminals he subjected to extreme punishments, the children who were traumatized by him—are you trying to say that... none of them understand that vigilante better than a greenhorn like you?"
"I said I don't care what other people think."
The blue owl spoke coldly.
"Boring...boring, so boring."
As it spoke, the strange thing lowered its empty eyes, pointed its right hand at a nearby tall building, and shot out a spider web from its web-shooter, which stuck to the glass curtain wall. "I'm not playing with you anymore. Goodbye, Blue Raven Boy."
Upon seeing this, the blue owl suddenly took off, intending to chase after the strange creature, but he had injured one of his legs during his fight with Lester.
His muscles twitched violently, and he hissed deeply, forced to kneel on the ground, clutching his legs.
"Are you alright, Mr. Blue Owl?!" Mikaxi finally realized what was happening and quickly went over to him, patting his face as she said, "I'll take you in a taxi!"
"Need not."
With that, the blue owl stood up again and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, limped toward the commercial street.
With each step he took, the surrounding crowd retreated a step.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the blue owl slowly turned into an empty alley.
A few seconds later, someone belatedly caught up, but the red and blue figure had already vanished, as if it had evaporated into thin air.

Chapter 126 Family Meeting Time
Ke Yinzhi turned the doorknob downwards and walked out of the room expressionlessly.
He moved closer to the railing, crossed his arms and rested them on the stair railing, closed his eyes, lowered his head and let out a long sigh.
Then he went downstairs, walked to the living room on the first floor, sat casually on the sofa, picked up the remote control, and pressed the power button at random.
The moment the TV screen lit up, a news broadcast interrupted the view.
A vigilante calling himself "Blue Owl" arrested a group of bank robbers at the intersection of the Rainbow Lights commercial district. Police confirmed the bank was the "YGA Central Bank of Beijing." However, shortly after "Blue Owl" defeated the mutant criminal "Cyborg Lester," the C-class wanted criminal Dice Monster appeared in the Rainbow Lights district…
On television, a neatly dressed TV presenter faces the camera with a smile, narrating today's superhuman crime stories, occasionally glancing down at his script.
In the upper right corner of the screen, a red-lined area was playing a video of the Rainbow Lights commercial district. A figure dressed in a red and blue bodysuit was playing a game with a cyborg.
"Lester, I remember he's a survivor of that dementia rehabilitation program at the Control Bureau. I really don't know what those old men are up to..."
Ke Yinzhi thought to herself as she watched TV, resting her arm on the back of the sofa.
As the TV host finished recounting the general outline of the incident, the video footage was zoomed in, showing that after the Blue Owl defeated Lester with a Tai Chi move, a strange gray humanoid figure appeared one after another.
"Whoa... what is that weird thing up to now?"
Ke Yinzhi raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself with great interest.
Ke Xiaomo came downstairs, sat down next to him, crossed her arms, and looked at the TV while asking a question.
