Chapter 511 Changing Candlelight

Aijaka Network, Seven Sages Council Hall.

A patched plaid pattern stuffed bear propped up his head on a chair and pondered.

"Things are getting complicated."

At this moment, in addition to him, there was a skeleton wearing a crown of wisdom and a monkey with long fingers like bones in the hall.

The old skeleton paused with the bone staff in his hand, "Eluklu's personality is unpredictable. Among the several singers in Academy City, her behavior is the most unpredictable."

"I didn't expect that little girl Heshia would tell her about this." The long-handed monkey tapped on the keyboard and looked through the information of several young singers.

"The younger one was locked up to study, and now a bigger one has appeared."

"I think it's better to stop here." The old skeleton suggested.

"Throw out a few puppets, let them think they have caught the culprit, and then end the matter."

"We have already obtained the technical secrets of the 'Connectors'. It is meaningless to control those 'Connectors' now. The singers know it anyway, and it is only a matter of time before the Inquisition discovers the secret of the 'Connectors'."

"Let me think..." The puppet bear did not answer immediately.

"I don't care. If you had listened to my and 'Red Scimitar's' advice and directly killed all the 'Connectors', there would not be so much trouble." The long-handed monkey was leaning on the chair, pillowing his head and waving his hands.

Just as the three were discussing whether to stop, a light flashed in the corner of the hall, and 'Red Scimitar' and 'Blue Bird Mask' appeared one after another. Now that 'Gray Fangyan' disappeared, the two of them have the most say.

After sitting down, Blue Bird Mask glanced at their respective seats and then spoke.

"I already know what happened. It seems that this time it is destined to end badly."

"With the participation of the singer Elklu, many methods cannot contain the spread of the secret of the connector. If we target her, it will also lead to a greater counterattack." She analyzed and explained slowly.

"However, we can't give up easily." "

If we allow the spread of 'connector' technology, the future situation will be completely out of control, and there will be a huge change in the Federation. This is not something any of us can predict."

"I hate this state of being completely out of control. It is equivalent to handing the future to the unknown and being extremely passive."

"However, if the two singers Heshia and Elklu really feel threatened and then lead to a full-scale war, what we will face is not the current small fights, but a full-scale war with official institutions such as the Inquisition." The old skeleton said what he had been worried about, and the teddy bear beside him nodded one after another.

Many people are afraid of the singers, afraid of going against this trend and standing completely on the opposite side of the federal officials.

Yes, they have some skills and they hide well, but this does not mean that they are invincible. If the federal government is really determined to deal with them and call for action in the name of the government, the entire federation has a population of nearly one trillion, some of which are brilliant geniuses and countless resources. Even if they hide well on the Aigeka network, they may be caught one day. Moreover, the government can even cut off the interstellar Aigeka network channel and cut off the space for their existence from the source.

Without the blessing of the network, they are at most slightly stronger extraordinary people in reality. Any combat team can use the power of equipment to besiege and kill them.

The reason why all this has not happened at present is that they have deliberately kept a low profile for many years. In this way, even if some members of parliament mention it in the central parliament, many people will only treat it as nonsense and will not spend such huge resources to target them.

After listening to the statements of the two, Lan Que Mask knew what they were worried about. They were too afraid of institutions such as the Tribunal and were afraid of losing everything they had.

Yes, the Inquisition is very powerful and mysterious, so much so that it seems to be omnipotent in the eyes of outsiders. However, from her perspective, the Inquisition is by no means flawless, and even the internal divisions are not completely consistent. Once the subdivided factions and positions are clarified, it will be found that most of the Inquisition's responsibilities and attention are not on the Internet. In reality, the separatism of giant companies and local star regions is far more important and dangerous than these small fights on the Internet.

They do not need to confront the Inquisition completely, but only need to deal with the small number of people in the detailed branches of one of the departments responsible for

the Internet to ensure safety. "You continue to target Alanna. As for that Eluklu, I will arrange someone to interfere. You don't need to worry about what happens next." Bluebird Mask set the subsequent plan and asked the other people present to execute it.

Although still a little uneasy, Old Skull, Ragdoll Bear and others still carried out the plan.

In the following days, with the help of Eluklu, Alanna successfully regrouped the original 'Z' group, and the other people and organizations involved in the threat were uprooted by Eluklu's people. Through these people, Eluklu seemed to have discovered a new world, curious and excited.

"It turns out that there really is such a mysterious organization on the Internet, manipulating everything behind the scenes, just like in games and movies." She sat on a chair and looked through the information of the interrogation during this period.

"So, the 'Seven Sages Council' really exists, and it is also the source of many online organizations." Beside Eluklu, the fox-eared man cupped his hands in approval.

"What should we do next, Lord Eluklu, should we report this information to the Inquisition?"

"No, it will be boring to report it. The Inquisition will definitely send someone to ask where the information came from, and then conduct a so-called investigation and processing. I don't know when the results will come out, and I can't interfere at will, which will become very boring." Eluklu was the first to deny.

"Since they are so powerful, they must know that I am looking for them."

"They are afraid of being exposed, they are afraid of me, and they dare not confront me head-on, and I also hope to learn more interesting secrets and things through them."

"What do you mean?" The fox-eared man asked carefully.

"I want to join the 'Seven Sages Council' and let them work for me." Elklu tapped the armrest with his fingers, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

"This..." He couldn't turn around for a moment and understand Elklu's train of thought.

"But, if you are a singer and deeply involved in this kind of organization, once it is exposed, it will greatly damage your reputation. Then..."

"What will happen then?" Elklu turned her head and pressed her chin lightly with her fingers.

"Do you think I am an ordinary person who will be burdened by rumors?"

"Who dares to expose it, who has evidence, and who will believe it?"

"My existence represents the interests of many orcs in the Federation. If those congressmen do not want to cause internal unrest, they should keep my secret. Even if the Tribunal knows about it, they have no right to deal with it because I have immunity as a singer, unless they deprive me of my identity as a singer first, but that kind of thing is not easy at all."

"Since I am fearless, why not go deep into it? Not only can I obtain a lot of information that ordinary people cannot know, and master various intelligence advantages, but I can also use this intelligence to benefit the interest groups related to the orcs

. You also know that as one of the giant companies supporting the orcs, the 'United Beasts' has not been doing well for many years." "This is indeed the case." After a few words, the fox-eared man also reacted.

"But since they are hiding behind the scenes, it is not easy to find them. In addition, how can we be sure that they are not fooling us?"

"Take your time. Since we are invincible, we can try various methods and means." Eluklu was in a good mood.

"In addition, don't tell Heshia about this matter first, and keep it secret from Alanna." She explained later.

"It's not a big problem. Miss Heshia is currently attending special training at school. As for Alanna, they are almost all under the control of our people and are also weak." The fox-eared man indicated that these were not a problem.

"Since Lord Elklu has this idea, I will go to the Northern Star Region to contact several experts who are extremely good at hacking to assist you in tracking down the traces of the 'Seven Sages Council'."

"Don't worry, these technical elites must come from various tribes of our orcs. We also know their real identities, so there is no need to worry about their disloyalty or leaking information."

"You are quite smart, and you are indeed more useful than those big fools." Elklu praised.

"Of course, I am not just good at flattering." He also knew that the image he usually showed was not so strong.

"Hmph, then do a good job. Follow me, Elklu, and you will definitely be a big shot in the future." The cat-eared singer was in a good mood.

After that, she dismissed the people around her, let them go busy, and rolled on the sofa to vent her expectations and excitement. For her who likes pranks and new things, nothing can be more enjoyable than this.

"I really have to thank Tilan. Well, they are too young and innocent now. It's not good for them to be exposed to these deep things. Let us seniors do the bad things, meow~"

...

Golden Flame Flower Academy, viewing hall.

After finishing a day of study, Tilan and several other singers came out of the immersion cabin, still a little dazed, after all, they just came out of the historical scene hundreds of years ago.

Although singers have great influence and power, the results are different. There are also many singers who did not end well for various reasons, leaving behind regrettable stories.

Sitting on a chair nearby, Tilan closed her eyes for a while, felt the back of her hand cool, and then opened her eyes to find that it was Shui Yanqing sitting next to her, touching her with her hand.

She and Shui Yanqing have a good relationship, but because Orles is often around, Shui Yanqing rarely comes to get close to her, but Orles has fallen asleep beside her, so she won't wake up suddenly.

"Are you free tonight? Do you want to go to dinner together?" A familiar voice sounded in Tilan's mind. It was Shui Yanqing's clear voice.

"I'm free. I'll come over after I send Orlesi back."

Since Shui Yanqing invited her like this, she definitely didn't want her to bring Orlesi with her. Knowing that the relationship between the two was not that good, Tilan would not force reconciliation.

After school, Orlesi woke up slowly, and then Tilan and several other singers said goodbye to each other and left. When Tilan met Shui Yanqing again, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

The sunset in the distance was dark red. It was the end of March and it was getting dark much later.

Sitting in an open-air restaurant outside the school, overlooking the sea of ​​flowers and grass below that was blown by the night breeze, there was a particularly comfortable and relaxing feeling.

This restaurant on the rooftop of the fourth floor is a membership-based restaurant, so there are not many guests. The environment is quiet and comfortable, which is very suitable for chatting and sitting.

"Tilan is here."

Shui Yanqing had arrived first. She was wearing a white knitted top and a light blue long skirt, which gave her a close and intimate atmosphere.

"Well, the scenery here is very nice." Tilan was wearing a fitted dark blue dress with a white belt around her waist, which outlined her waist and then tied into a bow on the side, giving her a girlish vibe.

Soon after the two sat down, the waiter brought them iced and delicious 'Tricolor Rainbow' juice, followed by cut fruits.

First they talked about recent events, then Tilan asked curiously.

"Why did you suddenly ask me out? Is there something?" She and Shui Yanqing usually had a close relationship.

"Nothing serious, I just suddenly wanted to talk to someone." She shook the juice in the glass with her fingertips and took a sip.

"Blanche is still very simple, and has been exposed to things related to singing girls for less than a year. Although other classmates have a decent relationship, they are not singing girls after all, so many things are difficult to talk about." Shui Yanqing slowly told her situation.

Unlike Tilan, although Tilan herself does not feel anything, in fact, she has too many singing girls around her. First of all, there are Orlesi who often sticks together, Odney who is also from the Five Phoenixes, Pulinkoko, an acquaintance from the same star field, Elukelu senior who often invites her to go out and play, and Yulan Duojia who has retired.

Although she was born in an ordinary family, Tilan is not alone in the field of singing girls. There are also some former classmates and friends, such as Dolores, Yilin, and Avni.

But Shui Yanqing is completely different. She has no so-called childhood. After waking up, she received basic education in the laboratory. She has no junior high school and high school classmates. After entering university, the only person she has a decent relationship with is Blanche, but many things cannot be confided to Blanche. Although there are contacts with other people, there is always some invisible film between them.

Because she is not a federal resident with normal blood, she knows this very well.

Usually she was busy dealing with people from those giant companies, and she could still forget her loneliness in the busyness, but when the special training began, she was isolated from the outside world and lived with only a few other singers, and this loneliness gradually became prominent and magnified.

When she saw Shui Yanqing holding the photo frame in a daze that day, she probably missed her old friends, Tilan thought.

"It's okay, in a few years, Blanche will gradually grow up. There are so many classmates in school, and there will always be a few people to talk to." Tilan comforted her.

A few years ago, she was also lonely like Shui Yanqing. Her family passed away, and most of the "friends" around her were not well-intentioned. Sometimes it was easy to fall into the quagmire of emotions.

"Things will not remain unchanged, and the present is not eternal. It will slowly get better in the future."

"As for me, don't look at me so indifferent now. In fact, I used to be a very timid person who was easily bullied." Tilan smiled when she thought of the past.

Seeing that Shui Yanqing was quite curious, Tilan thought about it and talked about the past with her sister.

"…At that time, my sister's back was like a mountain. It seemed that I could never catch

up with her in my lifetime. I felt hopeless." "I was too ordinary, always lagging behind and relying on my friends. I didn't dare to complain to my sister. I could only hide behind my mother and watch her, watching her high spirits and confident appearance."

"Just like the ugly duckling in the fairy tale looking at the white swan flying by."

Although it was very depressing at the time, fortunately these things have become the past, and Tilan can now tell about it in a relaxed mood.

"At that time, I was very scared, very scared that I would completely succumb to my sister's shadow, so I wanted to escape desperately. Later, I stubbornly chose the withering sequence with very few people, and later I took a completely different path..." As she spoke, a faint blue flame appeared on Tilan's fingertips and slowly floated up.

Then, wisps of flames appeared, surrounding the middle of the round table, like candles illuminating the surroundings.

"I don't know how to comfort you, but I want to say that even if you are looking at a very desperate scene, don't be too discouraged. People will grow up. Things that are difficult to deal with now may not be a big deal in front of your future self. It's just that you were intimidated by the appearance at the time and didn't dare to believe that your future self could do it."

"Yan Qing is not a bad person, right? Even if he is a bad person, he may have shining points that attract people who are similar to him. You must believe that your experience and mood are not an isolated case. There will always be people who understand and have the same ideas as you. They are partners who can move forward together and friends who can get along and support each other."

The faint blue candlelight changed from blue to purple, purple to red, and then gradually changed to orange-red and orange-yellow, illuminating the sparkling and gentle eyes behind the candlelight. It seems to be non-aggressive, but extremely tough.
