Kii Peninsula, Wakayama Prefecture, Taiji Town Dolphin Bay.
The sight of the crimson sea water was startling as it spread from the bay to the open sea, where the blood red gradually turned into sea blue.
What was even more alarming was that at this mont, hundreds of people had gathered in this not-so-large bay.
The sounds of arguing and cursing were incessant, and even though these people hadn’t done anything yet, the tense atmosphere they created was frightening enough to make one afraid that they might suddenly draw weapons and start a conflict.
Bi Fang had three drones, one hovering above the bay, with a view that belittled the surrounding hills.
Another followed closely behind Bi Fang, providing a third-person perspective. Continue reading stories on .Côm
The last one expanded the fra, adding supplentary views and offering multiple angles.
Besides, there was the more amazing first-person perspective, thrilling and imrsive, a combination of the four sure to be the work of the strongest equipnt master broadcaster, offering screen shots and cuts no different from a movie.
In just one hour, it provided an audience of over ten million with a rousing spectacle comparable to watching a film in the theater, especially when they saw Bi Fang steering the fishing boat, tearing through the protective lines and nets, the exhilaration reached its peak.
Even students and working-class viewers, caught up in the excitent, contributed their share to the live broadcast, pushing its popularity to another peak.
Wolf Fang spared no effort in arranging promotions, sending notifications to every user who downloaded the Wolf Fang live streaming app.
On B Island, a Huaxia tourist who happened to be traveling in Ginza, Japan, captured a video of Richard presenting a docuntary in the pouring rain.
The handheld recording made the fra slightly shaky, but the image was very clear, even the drifting rain could be seen, evidently not just shot with a mobile phone.
Everyone could see clearly under the lens the bustling scene of Ginza, bathed in neon lights, and Richard braving the heavy rain, his graying hair completely wet and dripping with rainwater down his forehead, while the giant screen on his chest played the footage they had captured.
Without creating a fuss or disturbance, occupying only a small patch of the pedestrian street, he drew a large crowd.
This uploader, a wild boar claid to be holding an umbrella over Richard to shield him from the rain, while recording the first half of the docuntary with his other hand.
Due to ti constraints, just as wild boar, who was a fan of Bi Fang, learned that Bi Fang was live streaming, he imdiately released the video he had fild, which lasted for a quarter of an hour.
Though not complete, the content it included was enough to provoke righteous indignation.
In less than half an hour, the video surpassed a million views, topped the popularity charts, and spread rapidly across various social dia platforms.
At that mont in Taiji Town, buses were lined up one after another, and a flamboyant Caucasian tycoon spared no expense to rent five buses, bringing along all the like-minded organization mbers, only then was such a sensational effect possible.
If groups of four or five people had co, they would have likely attracted police attention first, and it would have been difficult to create a scene like the current one.
Viewers who saw Étienne appear were exceptionally excited.
[Holy shit, it’s Étienne!]
[Wori, the old heroes return for the new season!]
[Is there a reward for recharging?]
[Sorry, we operate on a gacha system]
[Drawing cards is the stupidest ga mode in the world, bar none.]
Considering Goose’s journey, the audience in front of the screen had not seen Étienne for almost half a year, and they greatly missed him now that he was on screen again.
Originally, Étienne attracted many fans, his popularity not at all inferior to that of Mugalen, who had already been active twice, and might even have surpassed him.
Many viewers had even requested that Bi Fang could shoot more entertainnt-oriented videos, featuring Étienne, too; unfortunately, Bi Fang did not have much ti or opportunity for that.
Inside Dolphin Bay, over a hundred fishern, along with hundreds of residents of Taiji Town and hundreds of foreign tourists holding up banners in protest, gathered in the small Dolphin Bay, numbering nearly five hundred people, almost equivalent to the student population of a local middle school.
At this mont, they all congregated because of one team.
Viewers looked down from the drones overhead, and many dostic viewers were montarily reminded of the bustling Shanghai Bund, with a similarly bustling atmosphere, but even more explosive, as if a fight would break out at any disagreent.
Standing in the front row, apart from Étienne, were several burly n, all sporting big beards and looking like they could give a biker gang a thorough beating.
European Caucasians, generally taller than the Japanese, made the residents and fishern of Taiji Town hesitate to act, allowing Bi Fang to speed around the sea in a boat with the dolphins, breaking through the blockade to swim in the ocean.
Through the live stream, everyone in the Taiji Town Governnt Departnt beca exceptionally nervous.
At 8:30, even before office hours began, leaders of various departnts received an urgent notice from their superiors and left their hos to drive toward Dolphin Bay.
The situation had escalated to such an extent that it was beyond the capacity of the police departnt to resolve, with every mont a potential disaster if not handled carefully.
The higher-ups were anxious, not to ntion the small Taiji Town Governnt Departnt.
So officials from the Taiji Town Fisheries Departnt even felt the urge to turn the steering wheel and flee towards the airport.
Compared to Huaxia, where the full details of what occurred in Ginza could not be known, these officials had been following the developnts closely. Although the docuntary had not been entirely released, it had already ntioned the "good deeds" of the Fisheries Departnt.
Selling toxic Dolphin Bay at as part of school lunches, packaging dolphin at as whale at, and unscrupulously selling it in supermarkets for unsuspecting citizens to buy had led to many tragedies.
Now, with only a ntion in the first half of the docuntary, a large number of Japanese netizens had already started to react strongly, and it was uncertain whether the second half would provide concrete evidence.
If the truth ca to light, would there be any way out?
Perhaps... a deep bow and an apology?
However, when they drove to Dolphin Bay, they found the situation was worse than they expected: five buses completely blocked the entire tunnel, with a stream of residents from Taiji Town and tourists following behind and private cars everywhere, making it impossible for the officials to squeeze through. Expecting traffic to resu was futile, so they had to get out and walk.
What was worse, with Dolphin Bay being remote and except for this tunnel road, nearly all surrounded by deep forests and mountains, the only way to get through the crowded crowd was to rush into the mountains and make a big detour to get there.
By the ti the officials arrived, they were drenched in sweat, their white shirts covered in leaves and brambles, and so even had faces full of mosquito bites, swollen red from the toxic and large insects of the forest, a truly painful experience.
It’s a wonder how those hunters have endured it.
Seeing the hundreds of people inside the bay, the officials were dumbfounded.
The only piece of good news was that Bi Fang had already sailed back to shore and was surrounded by mbers of environntal protection groups, both sides in a standoff.
