Chapter 678: "Don't cause trouble for the leader"

"Sir, you really can't blame us for this kind of thing!"

The atmosphere of the festival organizing committee office where the discussion group was stationed was different from that of other buildings in the "Friends of Music Association" estate. It was a semi-circular open office space with doors and windows tightly closed and lights on brightly. The middle area was equipped with Turner Cinema's "custom-made" radio broadcasting equipment.

This is a set of altars that Turner Cinemas was ordered to install for the discussion group in accordance with "regulatory requirements". Compared with the "ordinary models" purchased by major venues, it has an additional "switch" function. According to its own needs, it can choose different performances in different regions at the same time and broadcast live projection and sound effects.

"You really can't blame us!" The investigator who was challenged by Laxus cried out that he was wronged. "Our performance business review work is absolutely carried out in accordance with the "Technical Guidelines for the Investigation of Evil God Contamination Risks in Artworks"! Scheler's "The Rite of Spring" was not found to have any connection with any evil god organization in the list!"

"We did find that its source material is related to the 'Original Eater', the world source god worshipped by the ancestors of the southern continent. However, the seven world source gods are all extremely ancient. Except for the 'Snake' which is strictly controlled, the 'Unfallen Fire', 'Tower Caster', 'Slaughter Abyss', 'Winter Wind', 'Clear Mouth Tree', and 'Original Eater' are all pure incarnations of natural laws. They are witnesses of the long-established prayer program. If something goes wrong when constructing the secret ritual, there will be no response at all!"

"You said that we can't reject it according to the 'General Technical Principles for Screening for Mystic Tendencies in Artworks'! The general principles are just a broad-spectrum screening standard reference, and there is no artist with 'Forging Lion' or above who has not written a work with some mystic tendencies!"

The lead investigator had a sad face.

In fact, the inspection business of the Special Patrol Office has now developed to a very mature level, and it is indeed very difficult for anything to go wrong. Even if a "mysterious painting" is suddenly hung in an unknown gallery, its origins can be clearly investigated in a short period of time!
The activities of secret organizations like the previous "Phantom Man Secret Ceremony" and "Meat Thanksgiving" are all under surveillance throughout the process!

But now, the audiences around the world started fighting each other as they listened to the performance. It was purely because of their conflicting aesthetic opinions! It wasn't some evil god who asked them to fight!

"Okay." Laxus finally let out a long sigh after taking a break. "I really can't be too harsh. I've never encountered such a situation before."

His fingers tapped the table slowly without making any sound. He spoke slowly while thinking: "So, when Scheler returned, he faced such a big controversy. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for us? The modern school is developing rapidly. Many people seized the opportunity to become "Forged Lions", but they are still juniors in front of the romantic masters. It's disappointing. Their goal is to take advantage of the opportunity to make a little money. I am no different."

"As for the competitors in Fanning's group who are aiming to reach the top, only the old guys can suppress them with their accumulated experience. None of the young forces can fight. Why are you shaking your legs!?"

Laxus, who had just vented his anger, became angrier again and slapped a young investigator next to him on the seat!
"Well, this beat is really exciting." The young man was startled and said with a guilty conscience, "Look at the audience here..."

In the box, where the lights and shadows were shining, the audience who had not left their seats stood up at the end of this "Dance of the Earth" so that they could see more clearly. The powerful and tense force of the music made them shake their bodies violently, and soon, they began to beat the tops of the chairs of the audience in front of them with their fists in a rhythmic manner.

The louder the booing audience members around them became, the more their spirit of confrontation and protest became, to the point where they were perfectly synchronized with the accents in the music.

"But your job is to audit!" The foreman investigator was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, so he slapped his subordinate on the head again.
He rubbed his arm and became more active in front of his boss: "Well, boss, the current situation in various places is undoubtedly a performance accident, and it is a very large one. Should we stop the performance? Although it seems that there is no mysterious risk, it is not impossible to force a reason. This depends on the attitude we want to show. Are we happy to have another "strong rival" in the competition, or are we satisfied with the current situation?"

"Find a reason by force? You know it's 'forced'." Laxus rejected the proposal immediately and snorted, "It's not a good thing to reach too far. Are you turning a deaf ear to the leader's instructions?"

"Scheler is one of the important candidates and one of the pillars of the 'G' to buy time. He is also related to the whereabouts of the wreckage of the 'Red Pond'. The organization will not stand for a public order disturbance. And if the trend continues, I do not rule out the possibility that The Rite of Spring will be drowned by the saliva of the entire art world after the premiere."

Laxus put his hands behind his back and began to pace around the circular workbench: "Rather than caring about Scheler's future reputation, I'd rather see what Fanning's attitude is towards The Rite of Spring? Disdain? Fear? Trying to use his power to suppress others? Well, this is a good idea." As he walked, Laxus's eyes finally lit up, "Why not push this problem to Fanning and see how he reacts!" He immediately pulled the foreman investigator aside: "Send a telegram immediately and say that our intelligence center has learned of such public opinion, a worldwide public opinion! As the person in charge of the performance venue, ask him to quickly analyze and deal with this riot!"

"Remember, don't sign the telegram or stamp it. It's enough for them to know where it came from! Then, contact the liaison near the salon banquet hall at the same time and ask him to pass the message in person and remind Fan Ning to check it! Then pass Fan Ning's message back as well!"

The lead investigator quickly took the order and went out. After reaching the next room, Laxus finally leaned back in his seat.

After a while, the carnival at the end of "Dance of the Earth" finally ended. After the actors' movements on the stage were temporarily frozen, the curtain began to slowly close.

It is reported that "The Rite of Spring" is a two-act ballet.

Now should be the time for transition, change of song and slight adjustments, and the second part of the ballet is about to begin.

Haha, I actually gave him a good step or exit. A large-scale riot, an accident during the performance, and ordering the performance to be suspended was just a matter of a word from him. The reasons were sufficient, and people in the circle could not blame him. Laxus smiled faintly and picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if the performance is suspended or fails. We will just have to perform as usual, take a break, and meet the audience again on the second or third day.

But when you push things onto him, it's easy to see some things.

After a while, the sound of leather shoes trotting appeared in the corridor.

"Sir, the message has been delivered." After standing still, the investigator wiped his sweat.

"What did he say?" asked Lassus.

"Master Fanning, he wrote me a note and asked me to bring it to you."

"Oh? Show me now!"

Laxus slowly unfolded the crumpled piece of paper and was dumbfounded as he read it.

"I know that your Excellency reminded me of this. Thank you.

Mr. Scheller is the first person who has mastered the "skills of provoking war" and "traffic code" today. I admire him very much. Turner Cinemas signed a contract to perform "The Rite of Spring", which is a windfall. As for the riots, don't worry. I promise to handle it properly and not cause trouble for the leaders.

Whoever dares to ruin my cinema's business is my enemy!"
