Chapter 578 A song temporarily interrupted
"Yade, do you think we can convince her in the end?"
In the dry and hot wind, two young men stood on a high platform, surrounded by a red and yellow land. This is the satellite tower outside the mining area. Looking down, there is a huge basin about tens of kilometers wide.
"You have become weak, Mo Xun." One of the young men with short black hair and sharp eyes answered.
"This question seems to say that if we can't convince her, we should give up."
"If it doesn't work this time, we will continue to persuade her and use any possible methods to make her fall to us."
"I won't stop, and I hope you can be firm too." Yade patted the shoulder of his friend beside him.
At the same time, under the satellite tower, about ten kilometers away from the two people, Blanche was taking people to visit the poor residents living there.
"This is a solar panel that can generate electricity by itself, and this is a grain seed that can grow in a simple environment." Blanche not only brought a lot of relief food and medicine, but also wanted to leave some things that can help them in the long run.
"Can't you give more things?" Blanche asked when she came.
"Yes, rescue is a project that needs precise control. If you give too much, on the one hand, it may attract people who are greedy for benefits, and on the other hand, the rescued people are often in a weak position. It is difficult for them to keep expensive things. If you give too much, it is easy to cause trouble." The accompanying consultant answered.
After learning about the history and past of the Northwest Star Region, Blanche felt a lot of sympathy and pity. She was not born in a wealthy family, so it was easy for her to understand what was expressed in those videos. After traveling to many star regions and seeing the living environment of many local people, she deeply realized this.
"I have the responsibility to speak for their pain." Blanche said to the people around her.
"Everyone supports me, so I have the obligation to repay everyone." So this rescue and comfort activity in the remote mine began.
In the next few days, Blanche stayed in this mining area, on the one hand to rescue, and on the other hand to talk to local elders to ask about the situation over the years and understand the real history. The more she knew, the more Blanche felt that she had to change.
Just as she was about to go to other star regions to learn more about the situation, Blanche received an invitation.
The invitation was wrapped in a ruby-colored envelope. After opening it, there were sparse red bamboo marks on the silver-stamped paper. It said that Blanche was sincerely invited to visit the Bay Valley Star Region, and the signature was "Red Stone" Chi Wanxin.
The Bay Valley Star Region is a relatively core star region in the western region. The economy here is relatively developed, and many wealthy people in the western region will buy luxury houses here.
A few days later, Blanche arrived at the Bay Valley Star Region. The residential star "Longshi Bay" here is densely covered with rivers and seas, with dangerous and strange scenery and pleasant climate.
The shuttle landed at a mansion on the cliff of a river bay. Blanche walked down and came to the villa mansion on the cliff under the welcome escort of a group of people.
"Welcome sister Blanche~" The singer in a crimson veil greeted her.
This singer with long black hair and the name "Red Carnation" became famous decades ago. She also came from the western star field and had half oriental blood. However, like Tilan, she did not grow up in an environment where oriental people gathered. Her face was also different, with deep eye sockets and clear facial contours, similar to the sharpness of a knife, with a kind of exquisite and clear beauty.
"Red Carnation" Chi Wanxin first asked about Blanche's recent situation, and then the two talked about some stories about growing up and studying in the central star field.
"My classmate was 'Green Snake' Youlan Duojia. Our titles were red and green. The followers around us also liked to tinker with the red and green disputes, and we organized many competitions in school. Now I think it's very childish, but I was really happy at that time." Chi Wanxin recalled the past.
"In addition, the one who was two years older than us was 'White Rose Harp' Ewen Qilin. This senior was so dazzling that later on, Youlan Duojia and I suffered some setbacks and were not so confident."
"Is it such a coincidence?" Blanche opened her mouth in surprise.
In school, she also studied with Tilan, who was born in the four-leaf crystal, under Ewen Qilin, as if they were the replicas of Chi Wanxin and Youlan Duojia back then. However, the person who corresponded to Ewen Qilin's position back then should be Orles, who also had elf blood, was also mainly white, and was extremely popular.
"Hehe, yes, fate is always so wonderful." Chi Wanxin looked at the table, smiled, and spread the long hair beside her ear with one hand, turning it slightly at her fingertips.
"I heard that you have been paying attention to the poor residents in the mining area recently, right?" The singer finally brought the topic to the focus of this invitation.
"Uh, yes." Blanche nodded a little awkwardly.
"Yeah." Chi Wanxin paused for a long time, then raised her eyes and looked out the window.
"What I am going to say next, you may find it annoying and dislike me, but I still want to tell you."
"Don't push yourself into a dead end, you are too deep." She stood up with a little disappointment and walked to the window.
"There are many sufferings in the world. If you choose to watch movies, books, records, and history related to this, you can say that you can't see enough in hundreds of years. It's endless."
"Humans are not such rational creatures. If you immerse yourself in that kind of environment for a long time, it's easy to become radicalized and extreme." She turned to Blanche, lowered her eyes and closed them slightly.
"But..." Blanche bit her lip and then answered.
"But they are also living faces. What they have is not fake. Their discomfort and depression are real. How can I stand by and watch? As a singer, shouldn't I speak for them?"
"Yes, their fate and their lives are real, and similar things happen all over the federation." Chi Wanxin continued to narrate.
"Countless laughs and tears are happening in this world. They are all real, every one of them is true, but truth does not mean everything. Do you want to save every person who sheds tears?"
"You are not God. Even if you are God, you cannot make everyone happy."
"We are just singers, and singers with limited abilities, not emperors with supreme authority. Many things are difficult to change even if we appeal."
"Difficult means there is still hope, right? Since there is hope, why give up." Blanche retorted.
"You..." Looking at the young and innocent eyes in front of him, Chi Wanxin was a little speechless.
You don't know how many interests will be affected, how many people will be offended, and how much disgust and attack will be faced if this kind of thing is implemented, Chi Wanxin thought silently in his heart.
"You are still too young, and you always think things are simple." Chi Wanxin said coldly.
"Today I called you here to give you a verbal warning and educate you, but next time you will face a senior like me who is easy to talk to."
"Who do you think you are, a nobody? As a singer who is followed by countless people, you don't know how many people are watching your every move. Do you really think that others can't see your thoughts and impulses?"
"If you really have intelligence and strength, you won't expose your thoughts and goals so easily."
"Simple and naive, childish and stupid, it's just written on your forehead, come and deceive me, come and lead me astray, you don't really think that the Tribunal is just protecting the singers, right?"
"I can tell you that there are no less than ten singers who died in the Tribunal in history, and their crimes are all betraying the country and tearing the federation apart."
Chi Wanxin's cold words made Blanche pale, and countless pictures and thoughts rose in her mind.
"Now you know how dangerous your situation is, you are only one step away from the cliff." Seeing Blanche's fear, Chi Wanxin softened her tone a little.
"But it's not that there is no chance of recovery. In the next few years, you should stay in the Central Star Region. The environment there is comfortable and gentle, and you can communicate and learn with other singers. Don't think too much about heavy things. Focus on improving your own abilities first."
"I think, in a few years, you will gradually become mature, and the situation will be much better." Chi Wanxin persuaded gently.
"But...but..." Blanche lowered her head, her fingers grasping the fabric of the skirt, struggling and twisting.
"Don't worry too much about the entanglement. You can also speak for everyone in the Central Star Region. Even if you know more about the operating procedures of the Federal Parliament, you can also contribute better to future changes." Chi Wanxin walked to Blanche and comforted her softly.
After Blanche's mood stabilized, Chi Wanxin treated her to lunch. After a short rest at noon, the two took a cruise under the river bay to enjoy the scenery along the river. Occasionally, Chi Wanxin would play a few pipa songs, which made Blanche admire and envy.
In the following weeks, Chi Wanxin took Blanche to travel around the Bay Valley Star Region to relax and let her forget those boring things.
A month later, Blanche said goodbye to Chi Wanxin, accepted her advice, went to the Central Star Region to continue studying, and gradually expanded her social circle in the singing girl world.
At the same time, the major mining areas in the Gravel Star Region ushered in rectification and transformation. The Wells Mineral Company announced the transfer of the assets of the star region to more than ten local peer companies, which received a lot of praise.
On the other hand, several people who Blanche knew during her tour in the Northwest Star Region were investigated and interrogated by the Tribunal.
"Please come with us, Mr. Mo Xun."
When the young man with glasses was awakened by the knock on the door in the morning, he opened the door and found four members of the Tribunal in dark blue uniforms. The other party looked at him coldly and showed him the projected arraignment order and the key certificate on it.
In response, Mo Xun had to smile bitterly, then stretched out his hands and accepted the arrest and interrogation.
Resist? That's impossible. Not to mention how he could beat the four elite search officers in front of him alone. According to the information he knew, if there were four search officers in the open, there would only be more plainclothes personnel ambushing in secret.
Unexpectedly, he was cautious and prevented from being observed and eavesdropped by the members of the Tribunal, but he was still noticed. It turned out that he thought too simply. He just hoped that nothing happened to Yade.
Mo Xun had been mentally prepared for what happened today. After all, everyone knew that there were people from the Tribunal following the singer. Anyone who approached her might enter the Tribunal's field of vision and thus be at risk of being noticed and arrested.
Not only Mo Xun, but also many people that Blanche had contacted in the northwest star regions in the past few months were investigated and questioned by the Tribunal. Some were even arrested and detained, waiting for further processing. Blanche was unaware of all this because the information channels leading to her were blocked by surveillance.
"Damn it."
In the hidden hiding place, a black-haired young man smashed his fist on the wall, making several cracks.
"Calm down, Yade, it's not your fault. It's just that we didn't expect the Tribunal enough." Another shorter companion comforted him. In addition to the two of them, there were seven other people here, most of whom were of similar age, around 20-30 years old.
"The notice from above has come down, asking us to hide as much as possible during this period of time and not to go out. If we have normal work, we should maintain our normal life and not show any abnormality." A tall, slightly sturdy and gentle man spoke.
"Our contact with the singer has attracted the attention of many people, especially the Inquisition, which will definitely investigate us now."
"Later, I will formulate a special signal form. You can set up your portable communicator and send a message every once in a while. If we don't receive it one day, we will assume that something has happened to you."
"This sounds good, but will this kind of information expose each other's coordinates and position, resulting in a situation where one person is arrested and the whole family is arrested?"
"No, there are several buffer transfer devices in the middle, and it is difficult for the other party to find the final target to be sent."
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."
In the next few hours, everyone discussed the gains and losses of this contact and made preparations for the future.
"What should we do? The people of the Inquisition have noticed us."
"It's almost impossible to rescue them openly."
"Or maybe we are too hasty."
"The road is long and far. Let's take it step by step. First, win more allies and contact more resistance forces. This is our way out."
...
At the end of the year, Blanche returned to the Central Star Region, and Tilan spent a unique New Year in Qianliu City with Dolores.
This brand new city has attracted millions of people in the past few years and has become one of the top ten cities in the northern wilderness of the Emerald Skirt. The only cities that can compete with it are probably the few large cities that have been revived in the North Star Region in the past.
Sitting in the VIP audience, Tilan watched the New Year's Eve party held in Qianliu City. The scene was a combination of tradition and fashion, and the atmosphere was very lively. The new generation of Jielou City quickly adapted to fashionable and advanced things. Many of the original conservative ideas were also fading, and the whole city was glowing with some indescribable vitality and vigor.
Everything is getting better. Maybe when their children are born, they can see a green "Emerald Skirt" again.
