Chapter 1: The Trouble Brought by Names
Jinling Convention Center, today the sun is shining brightly, and the sky is clear. It should be a day that lifts one's spirits, but for Liu Mang, it is actually a huge torment.
Because Liu Mang was wearing a tight-fitting armor, the renowned White Sheep Palace, one of the twelve palaces of the Yellow Way - the Golden Holy Clothes.
Today is the Jinling COSPLAY competition, Liu Mao, who has never been interested in two-dimensional things, was pulled to participate, who let him be so tall? His 1.8-meter height perfectly supported the frame of this golden holy clothes.
"Who the heck bought this prop?!" Liu Mang weakly complained, "If you want to cosplay, just cosplay, why did you have to buy a purely metal-made one? Although it's aluminum armor, it can't even withstand play like this."
A set of armor weighs around 20-30 kilograms, you not only have to wear it and walk around but also can't rest. Although this thing is a cosplay armor, it still follows certain principles of real armor, which means once you put it on, basically forget about sitting down. The metal protecting your buttocks and thighs will let you experience what's called explosive, anus, enjoyment.
"This is what I ordered. What's your opinion?" A sweet-looking but sinister-faced woman stood in front of Liu Mang.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, Big Sister Chen is the most powerful!" As soon as Liu Mang heard this voice, he immediately put away his bitter face and replaced it with a flattering smile. The abdominal black woman in front of him was called Chen Yi, the president of the school's animation club, not only the overlord of the animation club but also the overlord of the school. Liu Mang had been hoping that she would introduce him to a girl so that he could get rid of his virginity, which he had kept for twenty years. Offending her would bring no benefits, and today he was caught by this abdominal black woman.
"This is just about right" Chen Yi's face lit up with a smile "Alright, after today I'll introduce you to little sister, do you want the pure and innocent type or the mature type? As long as our animation club has it, I can introduce her to you!"
You can't say that Chen Yixiao looks really good when she smiles, with her delicate face and the tight-fitting costume of Hatsune Miku's character Len, which accentuates her curvaceous figure. Liu Mang subconsciously retorted, "It's just you who's okay!"
"Huh?!" Chen Yi was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Liu Mang to speak like that, her face turned red for a moment, but as a fujoshi, she quickly recovered "Liu Mang, you're really something, daring to flirt with even me!"
"It's over!" Liu Mang said as he knew things were going downhill, propping up Chen Yi who was still in a daze, not caring about the weight and discomfort of his armor, grabbing his helmet and taking off in a sprint.
"Liu Man, stop right there!" Chen Yi shouted loudly.
"Halt, who'd halt for you?" Liu Mang sneered, but was caught off guard by Chen Yi's sinister move. He could hardly save his own life, so he quickly retreated with the Thirty-Six Strategies. Soon, Liu Mang couldn't sneer anymore. Because...
"Flow, Meng?!" A middle-aged uncle-level coser looked at Liu Meng running in front and Chen Yi chasing after him. A beauty shouted a man named Flow, Meng, that can only have one possibility, the uncle suddenly burst into righteous indignation, pointing at Liu Meng in front of him and shouting loudly "Catch Flow, Meng! Catch Flow, Meng! Don't let him run away, hurry up and catch him!"
"Get out, pervert!" In the world of anime and manga, there are many taboos among these otaku men and women who live in a two-dimensional world. One of them is "flowing" (i.e., being a pervert). Cosplay costumes are often quite revealing and easy to be taken advantage of, so people who "flow" are deeply despised.
"Beat him, beat him! The one wearing the white robe with the Sagittarius emblem is Da Liu, don't let him run away!" In an instant, more than a hundred so-called justice upholders were following behind Liu Mang.
"What's going on here?!" Liu Mang was terrified, what's the big deal? It was just a joke, you teased me for a moment, and you sent so many people to chase and kill me all these years.
" Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Chen Yi also realized that something was wrong. She said Liu Mang and Liu, but the word "mang" wasn't the same as "liu", and it was clear that these people chasing him had mistaken him for the latter.
Over a hundred people are chasing after him, if he gets caught, his life will be over. Chen Yi regretted it a bit "Liu Mang, run faster, run!"
"Flow, why are you letting the scammer run away? Isn't that the sister who was scammed? How can you let the scammer get away?" Some people had a bit of a reaction, wondering if it might be a misunderstanding, but before they could think about it carefully, they were swept up by the crowd again.
Only the big uncle at the beginning was still there shouting "Catch that rascal, that rascal has given people's sisters psychological shadows! Catch him and absolutely don't let him off!"
"It's also possible that she misspoke in her anger!" As a result, a group of so-called righteous people went even crazier.
"Oh no! There's no way out!" Liu Mang was on the verge of tears, what kind of evil was this? The white wall in front of him had shattered his hopes.
"You're running, you're still running, isn't there no way out?! You scoundrel, you still want to run!" The uncle exclaimed indignantly.
"Uncle, this is a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Liu Mang's forehead was covered in sweat, and he stuttered as he spoke, whoever stood here would stutter, facing over a hundred people alone.
"Old uncle?!" The leading man directly ignored the misunderstanding behind him. "You actually call me old uncle?!" The fat man's sleeve was about to go up, but was pulled down by someone beside him.
"Maybe you're just a misunderstanding!" someone wondered, because that girl just said it was a misunderstanding too.
"It's possible!" someone nodded.
"Right, right, it's just a misunderstanding!" Liu Mang was overjoyed, as long as he could explain himself, he would be able to save his life. Moreover, Liu Mang had already seen Chen Yi's figure behind him, "Look, Chen Yi is behind you, Old Chen, can you help me explain?"
Just as Liu Mang was about to escape, Chen Yi, who came running from behind with a gasp, shouted "Liu, Liu Mang, you... don't run.....!"
"I'm telling you, he's a scoundrel, how could it be a misunderstanding!" The uncle continued to lead the way.
"So it wasn't a misunderstanding after all! You dare to be reckless here? You little scoundrel, you're asking for death!"
"Why bother talking nonsense with him, just beat him!"
"It's all over!" Liu Mang's eyes widened in despair as he hugged his head and crouched down, instantly engulfed by the shadows of hundreds of people.
"Then, so fast! I'll explain it to you." Chen finally finished speaking. Liu Meng, don't run so fast, I'll explain it to you!
But can Liu Mang hear it now? Can the people present hear it?
"Ah, oh, ah, oh!" Liu Mang's mournful cry sent chills down people's spines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ow, ow, ow!" Liu Mang's face was twisted in pain, his body aching all over. "Those bastards, they really went all out on me!" Liu Mang had made up his mind, if the others didn't find that fat guy, he would go look for him himself. That big uncle who led the group was the worst, always aiming for people's faces when he hit them. Liu Mang felt like his handsome face was going to be ruined!
Until the pain had subsided a bit, Liu Mang finally stood up, and around him was a circle of armor-clad soldiers with uncertain expressions.
"What are you looking at? There's no handsome guy here!" Liu Mang shouted loudly. The resentment of being beaten up by someone hadn't dissipated yet, and now he was being surrounded like a monkey around the bonfire. "Country bumpkin! Your cosplay is so bad with such crappy armor! Look at my shiny golden gear, and then look at yours!" Liu Mang seemed to want to vent all his dissatisfaction on these country bumpkins in front of him.
"And that knife, it's all rusty and red, are you still taking it out? Isn't that embarrassing?"
"Who are you?!" A man who seemed like a small leader among a group of people asked Liu Mang.
"Hey, you're bringing up classical Chinese again! Where was this elegance when you were beating me up?" Liu Mang didn't know if these people surrounding him had ever hit him before, but one thing for sure was that he was extremely unhappy right now!
After listening to Liu Mao's words, the little leader frowned and said, "Second Dogzi, go inform Lord Dou, tell him we caught a Cao army spy on the city wall!"
"What? Is this Cao's spy?! Who is this?!" The soldier nicknamed Second Dog hesitated, unsure who the man in golden armor was before him. But he knew one thing for certain - this was no spy from Cao's army, because this golden-armored man had descended from the heavens.
Good heavens! Mother, this must be a divine being from above!
"I told you to go, just go! What's with all this nonsense!" Shi Chang yelled angrily.
"Yes, yes!" Er Gouzi's head shrunk and he was about to leave.
"Still Cao's army? Still what kind of troops, all pretending to be, you might as well say I'm Cao Cao himself!" Liu Mang said disdainfully.
"Ah, so you're Cao Chengxiang! No wonder Cao Chengxiang was able to defeat my master. It turns out that Cao Chengxiang is a god descended from heaven!" Er Gouzzi said without restraint.
"So you're Cao Ze, Cao Ze come to surrender!" As soon as Liu Mao said he was Cao Cao, the squad leader's face changed color and he became enraged, raising his large knife to charge forward.
"What are you going to do!" Liu Mang was a bit panicked, he suddenly found something wrong, the faces of these people in front of him were all pale and yellowish, which is typical malnutrition. If it were just one or two people, maybe it's anorexia, but a whole group of people like this is not right.
What's more, Liu Mang looked at the man walking towards him step by step, and was stared at by his eyes with bloodshot, as if he had been stared at by a fierce beast in the vast wilderness.
"What am I going to do, I'm going to kill you to avenge my mother!" The man became more and more agitated as he spoke, the knife in his hand trembling uncontrollably. The man, Cheng Yu, was originally from Xuzhou, where Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, had been murdered during the first year of the Xiping era. To avenge his father's death, Cao Cao had led an army to conquer Xuzhou, which at that time was still under the control of the old Tao family. Not only did he frighten Old Tao to death, but he also slaughtered all the civilians in Quhe, Yiling, and Xiaqiu.
Cheng Yu's elderly mother was killed in that war.
"A mother's death will not be shared under the same sky! Today I, Cheng Yu, will avenge my mother!"
What's going on here? Liu Mang was wronged, when did he ever kill this Hanzi's mother?! Don't even mention killing, even if it was just a touch or a bump, Liu Mang couldn't afford to compensate.
"What's going on? What's going on!" The surrounding soldiers grabbed Cheng Yu, not because they had kind intentions, but because Liu Mang appeared in a mysterious and inexplicable manner, which really made them a bit afraid.
"Let me go! Today either I die or he dies!" Cheng Yu's panting voice grew coarser and his killing intent heavier.
Just as the soldiers were about to be unable to stop him, suddenly a loud drumbeat sounded from the horizon.
"Kill!"
