A video appeared on the website, sending people into the largest video-sharing site. 

In front of a black screen, a lone figure sat on a magnificent white snake statue, features hidden behind a dreadful gas mask. Bing Shi, dressed all in black like an enigma, waved at the camera with a voice changer, her tone genderless - a mix of a man's higher pitch and a woman's strong undertone.

'I just want to be safe, OK?'

"Hi, I'm Bing Shi, and this is my buddy Kuro. To prevent any imposters, I've decided to show myself," she patted Kuro, whose head and tail glided around her body. "I'll be uploading daily videos. As a decent citizen, I need to make money too."

The image on the screen left everyone in disbelief. Kuro transformed into a bigger snake, creating a protective formation around Bing Shi and hiding her entire body.

"As I wrote, there'll be an evolution. Humans, depending on their innate talent, are going to obtain superpowers. Kuro is proof. I acquired him during my trial," Bing Shi continued.

Her lies were so convincing, even she couldn't help but laugh.

"We can't avoid the apocalypse, but," she said with a meaningful voice behind the thick, white wall, "I survived, and you can too."

'My lies are so true, haha.'

The video ended, and Bing Shi became a celebrity sensation. People could download her videos, but no one could reupload them online; Kuro deleted them as soon as they appeared. Her videos were only available on her website and the video channel.

Bing Shi showcased Kuro's mighty side, and thousands of posts were created as everyone discussed Bing Shi, Kuro, and the apocalypse. Was she male or female? Was Kuro CG or real? Was it a new cult? And by chance, was Bing Shi their mascot?

For many reasons, she gained a small fanbase that continued to grow. Her fans would periodically comment under her videos.

═══════⊱༻❈༺⊰═══════

A new video was uploaded. On the black flooring, Bing Shi sat cross-legged in front of Kuro; and they seemed to be playing... Chess?!?

Kuro silently moved the knight with its tail, taking Bing Shi's pawn at the same time. Bing Shi praised Kuro by patting its head, "Some of you asked if I know how to fight. Believe it or not, the answer is no. Same as you, I'm afraid. On one side, I don't want to hide, on the other side, I don't want to fight alone, but I can't trust just anybody."

Bing Shi took down Kuro's queen, "If I created my anti-alien force, your safety would be at risk. You see, some things are happening behind the scenes. Some of you think that I'm a threat to humanity, which should be used as a pawn or gotten rid of."

A screen turned black. While a dominant song started to play in the background.

It displayed Bing Shi as a dangerous being, who found a new joy by playing around with the authorities. Her message was clear. She was the one who called the shots, and everyone should get used to her being at the top, as she was not going to step down anytime soon.

When the video ended, the screen revealed a close-up shot of Kuro taking down Bing Shi's king.

Bing Shi's fans were fervent in their search for any hints or clues in her videos, and some even found encrypted messages, which they posted on the dark web. Hundreds of requests for information on Bing Shi flooded in, including bounties on her head and attempts to uncover her true identity.

While Bing Shi was pleased that she had achieved her goal of reaching a select few, she remained cautious. She established a hidden chat room where she could communicate privately with these individuals.

Among them was Yi Zen. Without choice, he had to contact Bing Shi as it was the only way how to reach her, besides the boyfriend search.

They needed more information. They needed Bing Shi to be on their side.

Did Bing Shi agree to join the male lead?

No.

He would have to gain her trust and ensure her safety first before she decided to join him.

Wasn't one of her hidden quests gaining his trust?

It's Bing Shi...for her, both male and female leads were humans who killed on a whim.

In one of the group chats, Bing Shi was able to assemble this world's great leaders. She told them that there were still lots of information left, but afraid of causing a panic attack; she refrained from revealing them.

(Bing Shi): I can't choose a side. What if you go against each other? I'm not interested in a world war between humans... I'm not interested in anything besides killing all the aliens.

(Guest458): There will be no world war.

(Bing Shi): I hope you're right, but I can't take any chances. The fate of humanity is at stake, and I won't let it be destroyed by petty conflicts between nations or individuals. My focus is solely on eradicating the alien threat.

(Guest287): We understand your concern, Bing Shi. But an alliance can be a powerful force against the aliens. Together, we can achieve much more than working alone.

(Bing Shi): We can create an alliance when actual aliens appear. Until then, I'm meeting nobody. What if you snipe me down as soon as I appear? I still have things to do. Bye Bye.

'What if one of them is a virus carrier?'

Despite the offers and persuasion, Bing Shi refused to back down.

The criminal psychologists analyzed her behavior and concluded that her threats were merely empty words. However, this didn't explain how she had such advanced knowledge of the future.

Bing Shi had created a plot hole that left everyone questioning her origins. If humanity was on the brink of extinction, how could someone with such advanced technology and knowledge exist in the present?

Spreading this info to the public, everything went back to normal.

'Great, thanks to you, I'm not an Apocalypse anymore... But one of my plans was ruined!'

'Time for plan B.'
