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.
