Chapter 447 Brilliant Star Alana
At night, Tilan sat outside a cold drink shop in the alley, holding the ice cream she had just bought in her hand, eating it in small sips, and then listened to Elklu questioning the people who lived here.
Although some people didn't want to speak, or were ready to fool around, they still couldn't avoid it under the song girl's lie detection ability.
"OK, next one." Elklu waved her hand and let the next person come forward.
In fact, after asking the first two people, the others said the same thing. The process was not complicated. It was probably that the people from the Ghost Face Gang took a fancy to the strength of the rabbit-eared girl and wanted to force a contract to let her make money for the company.
"Okay, let's all go."
Seeing that asking more questions would be repetitive, Elklu quickly lost interest.
After returning, she lay on the table in front of the three people and grabbed the Coke she had just bought and drank it in big gulps.
"Huh, I'm so angry. I'm really unhappy." She complained and then put the cup down heavily.
"Are there still gangs in Academy City?" Tilan was curious that such an organization still existed here.
"Yes and no." Elklu hugged his shoulders and commented.
"The security environment here is actually very good. After all, many of them are students from prestigious schools and are elite talents from various star regions. The Federation also attaches great importance to security."
"So, on the main street, you basically don't see any theft, robbery or fraud." Elklu raised his finger.
"However, some remote areas are different, especially the outer areas."
"I talked to Tilan before. Most of the students and teachers here have to pass similar assessments to get points."
"This system can stimulate the vitality of teachers and students, allowing both sides to continuously iterate competition and maintain overall advancement."
"But this system is not perfect, especially for those schools and students with lower rankings."
"Unlike the Golden Flame Flower Academy, which waives tuition and is supported by official federal funding, many universities rely on students' high tuition fees to survive, and students must seize this rare opportunity to go to college and improve their own strength and grades in order to get a good company job quota when they graduate."
"They already have a heavy debt and go to college to study, hoping to get good results, but this behavior is also a risk. Not all students are talented. Those who pay huge tuition fees but find it difficult to graduate and their gains are far less than expected will face great pressure and pain."
"In this case, in order not to disappoint their families, or they dare not face the result of dropping out of school, they are likely to take risks."
"Working in a gang is also working. Besides, if you say it's a gang, most of them won't admit it. They say they are a legitimate company, but their methods are a little 'radical'." Elukelu lowered his head and listened angrily.
"Here, there are many giant companies, and there are many large companies. Although there is a lot of healthy competition, no one dares to guarantee that there are no 'gray methods', so some 'firms' and 'special companies' have room to exist." "
Compared with registered firms, these 'special companies' are more unrestricted. They often don't even have an office address. When they act, they use some private communication software to contact each other. After the work is done, they throw away the masks and become ordinary residents and students."
"Normal entertainment companies have to give artists or singers a lot of commissions when signing contracts, but some companies, in order to save money, find 'them' to cooperate, and they may only need to share one thousandth of the profits to get the other party to work for them. Such benefits naturally make them willing to take some risks to do such things."
Blanche, who was listening to Elukelu's story, was surprised. In the environment where she grew up, it was the first time she heard such a 'dark' thing.
Tilan and Ge Yin, who were standing by, had no feeling. Tilan had seen a lot of chaos in Jade Skirt, let alone this relatively "mild" coercive method. The underground world of Arpeggio City did not take human life seriously. Ge Yin was a heavy Internet enthusiast. She had seen a lot of dark and gray events, but she had very few real experiences.
There is no order and justice that exists naturally. If you feel safe, it is because someone in your living environment is carefully maintaining it.
"Don't the police or the public security department care?" Tilan asked curiously.
"It's hard to manage." Eluklu opened another can of Coke.
"The students here are basically all Sequence 4 and above. Those 'gangsters' are equipped with special equipment, and their combat effectiveness is not low. Moreover, when their Sequence level is high, they are extremely fast in both fighting and running. It will take a lot of energy to catch these people."
"They are very smart. Although they are 'gangsters', I don't know how many lawyers they have hired to study federal laws in private. They are very clear about what to do and what not to do. Even if they are caught, the crimes they have committed will not be classified as serious. There are also lawyers in the organization who specialize in rescuing people."
"It's like chewed gum. You say it's harmful, but not really. After all, they won't really kill people or do things that will be sentenced to heavy sentences, but it is indeed annoying and disgusting."
After complaining, Elukelu drank Coke in big gulps, as if the intense stimulation of bubbles could relieve the depression and irritability in his heart.
"Huh, it's really annoying. Forget it, let's go back." Elukelu threw the Coke can accurately into the trash can and stood up.
"Are you going to ignore the rabbit-eared sisters?" Blanche felt a little sympathetic.
"Yes, but we won't just look for them blindly here. Tomorrow I'll talk to my 'acquaintances' and they'll send the rabbit-eared sisters here." Elklu shook his ears.
"Don't underestimate the influence of the singer, Blanche. If I really say I'm going to dig deep into the ground, many people will do it for me immediately."
"So even if you get angry occasionally, you can't make some inappropriate remarks in public, because it will really stir up all kinds of noise and turmoil, and then your own words may be distorted in various ways."
"Okay, go back to sleep tonight. Tomorrow my old friends will be able to help us deal with these problems."
After that, the four of them found a hovercraft and returned to school to sleep and rest. In this way, the day ended peacefully.
At the same time, in another corner of the city, 'Shan' followed the strange young man in front of him into the night.
The reason why he came here was because he received an invitation from that girl yesterday, saying something about the 'Z' group. In fact, he was a little afraid of this kind of anti-social organization at first, but he couldn't help but be curious and wanted to learn more.
He originally thought that the other party would be very secretive, but he didn't expect that he would invite him naturally and tell him an address. It was not far away, just on the main street of the central area 3.
"It's just ahead." Suddenly, the young man leading the way stopped.
"Here?"
Shan looked around. This was the most prosperous commercial street in the central area 3. There was a giant Ferris wheel a few hundred meters ahead, and many people were playing. Young people riding hoverbikes were flying in the night sky. There were many shops around and they were brightly lit, and there were pedestrians everywhere.
It didn't look like a place for a secret organization, he thought.
However, soon there was a cheer and noise in front of him, attracting his attention.
It was as if a high-tempo sound was coming from far away. In the distant sky, a group of figures riding silver hoverbikes swooped down, leaving a long silver mist trail behind them.
These silver mist trails were reflected by various lights on the ground, showing crystal reflections, and next to those hoverbikes, there were also spherical speakers flying with them, which kept playing music melodies.
When the hoverbike rushed past the Ferris wheel, the leading figure flipped over and jumped down. She was wearing a silver short jacket, a pink and purple T-shirt dancing, revealing her beautiful waist and navel, and a black short skirt with knee-high socks. Her long black hair was pressed under her hat and was blown up by the wind. Some of it was dyed purple, brushing against the night neon.
When she fell, a small tray rose from the fountain below, allowing her to step lightly on it, and then she spun on the main street like she was on a skateboard, accompanied by the refreshing and wanton laughter of the girl.
"Ahahahahaha——"
Finally, when the girl stood on the floating disk, she took off her hat, shook her head lightly, spread her hair, and then revealed her touching pink and purple eyes.
At this time, several people accompanying the girl also followed down. Some of them carried musical instruments, and some remotely controlled the floating self-discipline unit. Various colored lights were arranged, and in just a few seconds, an aerial stage was created above the fountain.
"Will you come join me? ~☆"
The girl made a pistol gesture, as if hitting the hearts of countless young people present, and then her light pink lips opened and sang the first word into the microphone in her hand.
"They think you are weak and helpless"
"They only regard you as a child"
"When they find that a warrior is about to come, they will be very surprised"
The fierce drum beats sounded, and the guitar sound was like the high morale of the young people, lightly and fiercely ignited.
"Welcome to your greatest moment"
"Welcome to your most glorious moment"
"The dream you have always dreamed of"
"Suddenly it will become a reality"
The gradually rising singing voice was like a shout, but it was full of sober choices and no confusion.
...
"I don't want to hear your confession"
"I want you to prepare for revolution"
"Welcome to the world of all-connected"
"Welcome to the world of bloody evolution"
"One day you will suddenly see the light"
"A legend will be passed down"
The ending melody dropped and then pulled up again, mixed with the fast playing of the bass, making the emotions on the scene climb to a peak again.
At this point, countless pedestrians stopped to watch this impromptu performance, and some even curiously asked the singer's name.
"Brilliant Star Alana, that's her name." Finally someone spoke the girl's name.
She was like a shining silver star, streaking across the cold and dark world, sparking a burning spark.
Her voice was clear and loud. Although she was not a singer, she was still so confident. Her shining and dazzling figure was unforgettable.
When the song came to the end, she stretched out her palm and looked at the audience below. Just when everyone thought it was a routine performance, she closed one eye and blinked, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she jumped directly from the air, then turned over and fell down, standing on the flying tray and swooping down, rushing into the crowd below.
Shan watched the singing girl in the distance getting closer and closer, and the people around him screamed and cheered. Just as he was about to avoid her, he saw the girl's eyes on him. Then, the figure with air flow passed by his side. The girl grabbed Shan's wrist and took him to the tray where she was, and then soared into the sky again.
The messy hair in the wind brushed Shan's face, and he could even smell the faint body fragrance of the girl in front of him. The white fingers were still holding him. Such a close distance, under the restriction of the narrow tray, almost left him no room to dodge.
"Do you like my song?" The girl's voice drifted in the night wind.
"I... like it."
How could he not like it? He was just a normal and ordinary person. In front of such a beautiful girl, who was also a top singer, it was impossible to say that he didn't like it. He hesitated just now because he didn't understand why he was asked.
"Hahahaha——"
"So, do you want to join us?" As she said, she turned her eyes back, and her pair of pink and purple pupils were like the most gorgeous crystals in the world.
The girl asked again. Facing such a scene, Shan felt that the frequency of his heart beat was much higher than usual.
I'm sorry, mother in heaven, your son can't stand this temptation at all.
"Yeah." Almost at the moment he answered, the girl threw him up and threw him into the night sky.
At this moment, the lights in the night sky lit up again, gathering on the boy in the night sky, flying up with him, and then gradually falling down, and then Alana grabbed her hand again.
As if using the momentum generated by his fall, Alana held Shan's hand and spun in the night sky. Then the two of them rose up in a circle, turned a huge arc in the air, and then slowly fell down hand in hand, standing on the tray.
Holding the microphone in one hand, Alana continued to sing just now, and Shan stood beside her, also accepting the gazes of countless people, including curiosity, envy, jealousy, surprise, etc.
The last part of the song was only more than 30 seconds, but this short time made Shan's heart fluctuate. He didn't know how to face so many passers-by below, and how to explain his relationship with this young star.
Fortunately, this period of time finally passed, and then a silver motorcycle came again in the night sky to pick up the performers tonight. He was lucky enough to ride on the same motorcycle with Alana.
The floating motorcycle passed through the night sky, and the cool evening breeze quickly cleared Shan's consciousness. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have agreed to something incredible. He
had just entered school and had to join such an organization. Is it really okay? Is it okay to regret it now? He looked at the girl in front of him.
"It's not okay to regret it." As if she knew what he was thinking, the girl in front spoke.
Soon, a group of people landed on the top of a building. This is a corner of the city, overlooking the vast scenery.
After landing on the ground, the people who were traveling together greeted each other, talked about their respective movements on the return journey, and then began to pack up, and then took their instruments and equipment home.
At this time, several people passed by Shan before leaving, smiled and patted his shoulder, and then left.
"Not bad, you actually let the big sister come to pick you up in person, you must be a powerful guy."
"Take advantage of it, hehe, there are many people pursuing the big sister."
"You were stunned just now, haha, I noticed everything from behind."
"Is the big sister's waist soft? You are very lucky, you don't know when you will hug her next time."
"Okay, you guys, go if you should."
After explaining some things, Alana returned and looked at Shan who was standing there and being teased and greeted, and drove away those companions who were about to leave.
"Everyone is actually quite shy. This is just their unique way of expressing friendliness. Don't mind it." She said that if Shan didn't believe it, would these people still be shy, but it was hard to say anything at the moment.
"I know you must have a lot of questions, but it doesn't matter. I will explain everything to you tonight." As she said that, Alana took Shan's hand again and walked to the edge of the building, overlooking this vast and bustling city with lights.
