If they were going shopping, then off they'd go. Though not particularly familiar with the area around 'Eden', it was much safer than letting Vivian go out alone, as her appearance was far too eye-catching.
However, he himself was a public figure. As soon as he left his home, wouldn't he be pursued with questions? Feng Yi pondered back and forth, ultimately deciding after wasting several million brain cells to wear his personal gear, a 'facemask'.
Oh my lord, Vivian was absolutely stunned… He, he couldn't be serious? Walking around with such a person was sure to diminish her own value.
Despite that, Vivian decided to muster a bit of courage. There was, after all, an anime voice actor autograph session that day. This anime called 'Endless Elegy' revolved around a series of melodramatic war romances. Despite not paying much attention to anime, she indeed did manage to uncover various combat strategies through this anime.
Gradually, Vivian found herself drawn to the unequivocal love portrayed by the protagonists. In the end, in order to save her beloved, the heroine died on the battlefield, dying in the protagonist's arms. The tragedy made this love story deeply moving, a magnificent, poignant, and desolate masterpiece. The lead actress became a perpetual sorrow in the anime. The heartbreaking ending of the story was precisely what made the anime so spectacularly successful, like a blazing inferno.
This was in no small part due to the voice actress, Dudu, who wholeheartedly brought the female lead to life, infusing her with soul, vitality, and inspiring countless viewers to engage their imaginations and set their thoughts free.
Unfortunately, this anime, a war love story originating from the Federal Mainland, left Vivian with no chance to intersect with the male and female voice actors. They were like people from different worlds, the distance between them could only be described as vast.
Fortunately, right after she had finished watching a new episode of 'Endless Elegy', an advertisement for a voice actor signing event was immediately displayed. This was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise for Vivian, a reincarnation after death, a paradise in hell, salvation after downfall, waking up in a nightmare, like the feeling of having a first love, wait a second...she hadn't actually ever been smitten before.
Still, Vivian felt like she was in love now. There was a scene in the film where the female lead and her lover, much like Vivian and Feng Yi, strolled down the street. The lead focused intently on her lover, while he absentmindedly scratched the back of his head. Even though the male lead had a somewhat similar personality to Feng Yi--often appearing lazy and lacking spirit--he was actually a very reliable and gentle man.
Thinking of it, Vivian couldn't help but glance at Feng Yi. He looked just like the lead, and unexpectedly, Vivian felt as if history was repeating itself. What a coincidence?
Interestingly, the anime also featured a talented player in the virtual network who resembled Revenge Shadow Rider. His name was Dark Shadow Rider, a deliberate change due to considerations about the image rights of Revenge Shadow Rider. Dark Shadow Rider was also a dominating pro in the virtual network of the anime, universally adored by fans of all ages.
Dark Shadow Rider appeared less than 10 times in the series but left a deep impression on viewers. No one expected Dark Shadow Rider to transition from the virtual game to real life halfway through the series. Every time he appeared, he would save countless people from catastrophe. When crime struck, there was no need to panic because Dark Shadow Rider would be with you.
Vivian had to admit the producers' astounding imagination. This outlandish and chūnibyō (second-year syndrome) plot could only be conceived by true otaku. Even though she didn't dislike it, she didn't feel anything special about Dark Shadow Rider. She didn't understand why so many people were crazy about him. His popularity even surpassed that of the two main characters. In his blue moon appearances, he managed to leave a profoundly immersive impressions on viewers.
It could be said that this anime, due to the fame of Revenge Shadow Rider, gained massive popularity worldwide, but Revenge Shadow Rider was irreplaceable. Ultimately, the adoration and nostalgia people had for him were projected onto the anime itself.
The most popular voice actor was also the one behind Dark Shadow Rider. The producers were clever not to reveal Dark Shadow Rider's voice actor at any point in the anime. No one knew his voice, appearance, family background, or where he came from. However, viewers' curiosity about Dark Shadow Rider had reached a crazy level.
In the Wandu Search Engine, Dark Shadow Rider's search ranking once surged to be a hot topic. The top ranking on the Federal search list was undoubtedly Revenge Shadow Rider and Athena, followed by the super warriors, war dynamics, then celebrities and scandals about Galactic Warfare, and whether there was any news about a match with Revenge Shadow Rider. After that, it was Dark Shadow Rider.
Once, someone suspected whether Dark Shadow Rider could be Revenge Shadow Rider. After all, their voices were quite similar, and their fighting styles matched. Revenge Shadow Rider rode the Phantom Knight 0001, while Dark Shadow Rider rode the Dark Knight Generation 1, which was one of the earliest mecha to be introduced into the battlefield in the anime's narrative.
Initially, the production company wasn't planning to admit anything. Why? The reason was simple: more speculation meant more popularity for the anime. However, the pressure from all sides was too great. Some people doxxed them, some openly put out rewards, some even impersonated him, claiming to be Dark Shadow Rider, and their voices matched perfectly.
One should be aware that everyone's voice is unique. Initially, statistics suggested that out of every 300,000 people, there could be one person with an identical voice. That frequency astronomically increased with technological developments. The current calculation suggested that out of every six billion, only one person could potentially have an identical voice.
When that voice emerged, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Media debates, netizen conjectures, expert verifications… All these related gossipy search queries ignited like fireworks one after another. However, everyone had their own arguments. As long as the production company didn't acknowledge anything, nobody dared to make judgments.
Pressured by the media, the production company finally revealed the truth not long ago: Dark Shadow Rider and Revenge Shadow Rider had no significant connections, aside from having similar voices. Furthermore, the company declared that the voice actor for Dark Shadow Rider was just a college student.
Feng Yi's diehard fans remained speechless when they heard this news. During an interview with Little Wu, a commentator for Feng Yi's special, she laughed and stated unequivocally that it was impossible. When pressed further, she merely laughed and declined to comment.
The reporters wondered why only after they interviewed Feng Yi's squad, someone finally stated that Revenge Shadow Rider could only be Revenge Shadow Rider, and he could not be influenced by anything such as money or fame. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the Revenge Shadow Rider at all.
