"The masquerade party is divided into two parts: the upper part and the lower part. In the upper part, everyone wears masks to make friends and get to know each other. After the lights dim and change colors, everyone takes off the masks and continues the normal dance process."
This sudden rule change caught all the contestants off guard.
In the interstellar age, the masquerade has been given more possibilities.
The masks are specially made with electronics. As long as you put on the mask, your face will be blurred. The principle is similar to the principle of the holographic glasses used by Hanshuang in the underworld.Even after putting on the mask, the height and various features can be blurred, so that even a familiar person standing opposite will look like he is looking at a stranger.
It must be said that the royal family is very good at shifting focus and seizing hot spots.
The simple news of changing the rules of the dance immediately detonated the Star Network.
Because after putting on the masks, not only the contestants could not recognize each other, but the Star Network viewers watching through the live broadcast room also could not recognize the contestants.At the traditional dance, contestants from various colleges danced, and everyone was tired of watching it. After joining a game of "Guess Who Am I?", it suddenly became tense and exciting.
The only ones who suffer are the contestants.
The originally prepared dance partners and opening sequence all had to be changed, and the plans they had made before had to be reorganized and adjusted from scratch.
Fortunately, Zhuge Ci has such a walking brain, otherwise he might not be able to do it in one night.
Under such high expectations, the Divine Grace Masquerade officially kicked off.
The venue originally used for team competitions was decorated with a new look. The white tables were filled with various exquisite and beautiful desserts. The champagne tower contained non-alcoholic drinks to decorate the atmosphere.The building with cold and hard lines has also undergone various indoor landscaping in a timely manner, softening the tense atmosphere of the previous competition and adding warmth.
The Divine Grace Festival has always been the biggest festival in the universe, and it is accompanied by a long holiday.
The dance held in the middle of the college ranking competition also has historical significance.After a few gimmicks, the live broadcast room was overcrowded.
In addition to the contestants, the teachers accompanying the team, as well as the top military officials headed by Wei Shaoyuan, all forces in the empire sent human resources representatives.In previous years, this occasion was not only a social occasion between students, but also a great opportunity for the powerful to extend an olive branch to the proud ones.
There is no doubt that the one who is in the spotlight right now is Chairman Silver Star who detected Myth Mimicry a few days ago.
After the fourth Myth Mimicry holder appeared in the interstellar, the news of Yuan Hanshuang was also announced.Born in a remote star, his family was poor, he worked hard and studied hard, and his mimicry flaws made him stand out to various forces.
But because of the premise of the masquerade, you must at least recognize the Silver Star Chairman before you can start a conversation.
Unfortunately, now that all the main contestants from the academy have entered the venue, no one is patting their chests and daring to say who it is.
Everyone tends to be conservative in their choice of clothing. Men all wear formal suits, with a white handkerchief or a budding rose in their suit pocket.For women, they wear a lace skirt, black leather shoes, and some choose shirts of different colors and European-style trousers, with a silk scarf tied on the chest to look fresh and neat.
The barrage in the live broadcast room was dizzying.
"My eyes are dazzled. What is Xiaoyuan wearing today?"
"I don't know. I feel like everyone is wearing the same clothes."
"Help, I'm going to faint. Forget it, I'll wait until the second half of the dance to see who is who."
"I seem to recognize someone. The man in the purple suit must be the chairman of Bauhinia Academy. He also wears a golden rose brooch on his chest. With this gesture, it's not who he is!"
"Actually, have you ever thought about it, it's very easy to identify Obara, just look at who eats the most food on the field.jpg"
Thick white curtains hung on the second floor, with strings of golden tassels hanging in the air.
The string section was playing a soothing serenade in G major, and the conductor was swaying with his back to the dance floor below.
After entering, Yuan Hanshuang walked to the champagne tower and picked up a wine glass.
Today she rarely wore a short silver dress, lace gloves of the same color, and standard seven-centimeter high heels.Normally, Yuan Hanshuang rarely wears this kind of clothing that is not suitable for combat. She would only consider wearing it in such purely social occasions. Today is obviously a special situation.
Yesterday, Xuanyuan Sheng mysteriously pulled Yuan Hanshuang over and took him to a dressing room. He turned on the golden spotlights hanging on the side, making the rows of clothes sparkle.
"Sister! Look! The surprise I have prepared for you!"
Long before the start of the college ranking competition, Xuanyuan Sheng notified his royal tailor and quickly customized a batch of clothes. During that time, the tailor looked at him a little strangely.
But as an elder brother, his determination overcame everything, and Xuanyuan Sheng made up his mind to give his sister a surprise.This is an important rule he learned from the family teaching book "How to Have a Good Relationship with My Sister: My Sister Can't Be So Cute".In any case, if you want to build a good relationship, giving gifts is the right thing to do.Among the things in this book that my sister might like, beautiful clothes are among the top three options.
Yuan Hanshuang: "Thank you."
Although she had already received a large wardrobe of clothes from her old department and a large wardrobe here, it was impossible not to be moved when she saw these clothes customized to her size.
Not to mention anything else, after Yuan Hanshuang traveled through time, he was only generous with himself when it came to food.In the past, in 1999, the clothes were mended and still wearable, and the place to live was a resettlement community. Filling the stomach was the first priority anyway.
So although she still couldn't call out the word "brother" to Xuanyuan Sheng's silly face, she still chose a dress from the dressing room and expressed her gratitude in this awkward way.
"Hey." When the contact person came over, Yuan Hanshuang specially said hello: "Have you ever had the illusion that you were suddenly transferred from the set of the passionate monster-fighting competition to the city channel where people are drinking wine, wearing fragrant clothes, and showing off their hair?"
Through the mask, Zhuge Ci glanced at her lightly: "Although the champagne here has no alcohol content, it has a special brewing aroma. For the sake of the next action, I suggest you not to drink it."
Yuan Hanshuang: "Oh."
She casually put the champagne she took a sip into the waiter's tray.
Although there are many children from aristocratic families in the chief groups of each college, ordinary people still make up the majority. It is the first time to participate in such a formal social occasion, and everyone's demeanor is relatively reserved.Of course, some of the restraint was actually nerves as they were executing the first steps of their plan at the dance.
Before the serenade came to an end, Zhuge Ci's cold voice came from the invisible headset: "Everyone, take your places."
Due to the adjustment of the rules, he could not dance the first dance and could only stand here and observe the situation.In addition, although no one told him, he guessed that there must be something fishy in the Federal Military Academy, and he also needed to leave a few people to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from suddenly jumping out and ruining the plan.
Yuan Hanshuang followed the crowd and walked towards the center of the dance floor.
Soon, someone came towards her and gently took her hand.
"Excuse me, would I be honored to ask you to dance?"
The sound after current processing is slightly hoarse, but it is not difficult to hear the softness inside.
"Of course." Yuan Hanshuang put his hand on his and said with a smile, "How did Chairman Lou recognize me?"
Feel the closeness of this golden-red sun and its softness on your arms.Behind the mask, the face with closed eyes was instantly flushed.At this moment, Lou Jia was very grateful for this mask, which could cover up his gaffe.
He whispered: "The original classmate is very special in my perception field."
"Huh? How special?" she asked curiously.
Yuan Hanshuang finally remembered that the mythical mimics could perceive each other.But after all, she is not the third element in the back row, and she does not focus on the field of mental power. Unlike Lou Jia, she can also use the field of mental power to simulate vision.She had to close her eyes and concentrate on perception to feel the holy and pure white energy on Lou Jia's body.
At this moment, the opening song of the dance party sounded at the right time.
The opening number for a ballroom dance is always relatively slow and not too difficult.After the string section's sound check, the conductor gave an order, and melodious sounds flowed out from under the instruments and echoed on the dance floor.
Everyone moved.Yuan Hanshuang also took the steps of ballroom dancing that she had been practicing under the guidance of Xuanyuan Sheng and Gu Dong for the past two days. The hem of her silver-edged lace skirt swayed slightly, like a bouquet about to bloom.
After decoration by the decorators, fragrant incense was lit around the dance floor. As the skirt turned, different perfumes spread out with the movements.
Lou Jia was sure that his face must have turned redder.
In the close music, he could even hear his own heartbeat beating loudly over the drums.
The golden-red sun that was rising in the lecture hall of the Central Teaching Building now fell in front of him.Whether on the battlefield or at a ball, she is equally moving.
For the first time in his life, Loujia truly felt regretful.It's a pity that I couldn't see this with my own eyes.
His most beautiful imaginations about this world all stayed at the age of seven before awakening to mimicry.At that time, he had not lost his eyes yet and could still run on the green lawn of the orphanage. It was the most beautiful memory of his life.
All Lujia's imagination of beautiful women came from the statue of the goddess he saw after being taken to the Temple of Light at the age of six.Because you cannot look directly at the God, the face of the goddess statue is blurred and cannot be seen clearly. However, the description of the goddess in the temple books is extremely gorgeous.
Lou Jia felt that those words could also be used to describe her.
"By the way, Chairman Lou doesn't have to go back to the Temple of Light to host the Divine Grace Ceremony this year?"
"Because I have to participate in the competition this year, this task is given to the Cardinal." Lou Jia answered obediently.
"That's it." Yuan Hanshuang said with a smile, and couldn't help but add another teaser: "Last year, I saw Chairman Lou wearing the crown of the Holy Son on TV, presiding over the ceremony in front of the Temple Square. By the way, because Zhuge Ci said It's best to wear clothes that are similar to the color of the college today, so I didn't wear the dress given by Chairman Lou, but I tried it on. The dress is very beautiful and I like it very much. If I have a chance next time, I will wear it for you."
This sentence had an extraordinary effect, and the arms hidden under the white formal clothes suddenly tightened.
After a long time, Lou Jia blushed and whispered: "It doesn't matter, as long as you like it."
As a result, when it came to exchanging dance partners, Yuan Hanshuang was not able to get the exact answer from the chairman of the Imperial Military Academy, whose ears were tingling and his head was almost smoking.
But I have to say, seeing how Lou Jia responded to a casual provocation, she had a lot of mischievous thoughts in her mind, just like Rua Gabriel did last time.However, now it is not only a public place, but also a live broadcast, so I have to give up with regret.
"Yuan Hanshuang, take two steps to the left."
Zhuge Ci's voice came from the headset, reminding her like ice water that she should do the right thing.
So Yuan Hanshuang successfully exchanged for the next dance partner.
"Yi Yangyun?" she asked in a low voice.
"Well, it's me." Under the cover of the mask, Yi Yangyun, who is originally tall and two meters tall and is particularly easy to recognize, has also been blurred. Otherwise, he should be the most recognizable one among the people present. .
"We need to jump to C4 and I'll get you there."
If they want to complete their plan at the end of the game, they must make preparations at the Divine Grace Ball, otherwise even if they have this opportunity in the future, they will only be able to achieve nothing.Today's plan is to take advantage of the dance party to sneak into the studio, which is guarded by many checkpoints.The entire dance floor has long been divided into different parts by Zhuge Ci, from A to E.
E9 is the exit they need to perform tasks for this dance, and they are still in the B2 position.There are backstage seats for teachers and staff. It is too eye-catching to go directly there, so you can only take a look.
At the end of the dance, Yuan Hanshuang successfully reached the C4 position.
Before handing her hand to the next person, Yi Yangyun suddenly said: "Lan Xiang will go all out to prepare for the second stage of the team competition. The teacher said that you are the most talented ancient martial arts practitioner he has ever seen. I I’m looking forward to playing against you.”
Before Yuan Hanshuang could reply, he was picked up by another person.
So Mu Xing smiled and said: "The former chairman is dressed very beautifully today."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment." Yuan Hanshuang had always been extremely wary of the old Dongfang chairman who had squinted his eyes all year round and fit the stereotype of the control department: "So, should the chairman also be in such a warm place?" Given the occasion, should we declare war in advance for the second stage of the competition?"
"How could it be?" Gu Mu Xing blinked and said innocently: "As we all know, we in the Old East have always loved peace and never caused trouble. Our participation in the college ranking competition is just for sightseeing."
Yuan Hanshuang gave him a knowing fake smile.
Therefore, Mu Xing sent her to the D6 position and gave her an elegant hand kiss after the dance.
According to the instructions in the headset, the dance partner exchanged this time was Gu Beifeng.
This guy is the most recognisable, mainly because he has such a strong temperament and not everyone can pull off a dark purple suit.
"Actually, the Academy Ranking Tournament is not the first time we have met."
Yuan Hanshuang nodded: "I know, you are the fraudster on the underworld."
Again, the temperament is so recognisable.
"This makes me even more curious." Gu Beifeng raised his eyebrows: "Not everyone has the courage to provoke the Black Tower Prince."
Not to mention anything else, the ID of SpongeBob SquarePants was wanted by the entire Black Tower not long ago, with a bounty of up to one billion star coins, which made many mercenary groups who lick their blood take action.
The five major families in the federation have more or less cooperation with the underworld, but the relationship is only shallow.It just so happens that this time, except for the heir of the Gu family who is nearly forty years old, the heirs of the other four major families have gathered in this academy ranking competition. Together with the heir of the Black Tower, it can be said to be a rare event in a century. scene.
With the current power of the Black Tower in the underground world, the Federation family still chooses to remain ambiguous with the Black Street.
"The Black Prince is a dangerous person. If you can stay away, it's best not to get close."
Unexpectedly, Yuan Hanshuang was a little surprised to hear the same warning as Gu Dong from Gu Beifeng's mouth.But when faced with other people's good intentions, she naturally couldn't say that she had known it for a long time and just responded: "Okay, I will pay attention to it."
Speaking of Jialou, Yuan Hanshuang didn't even know if he attended the dance.
After the first stage of the competition, all surviving members of the Federal Military Academy were taken for interrogation, but no reason was found. After that, the Federal Military Academy began to live in seclusion.Although the venue was so big before the game, I didn't see any of them these days.
While chatting, they came to the destination of this dance.
Xia Danxue, who had arrived at the location, picked up a glass of champagne and turned around at the same time.
"Ah!" Yuan Hanshuang whispered, and the champagne splashed on the corner of her skirt.
"I'm sorry." Shock appeared on Xia Danxue's usually indifferent face. She pulled the waiter aside and said, "I'm sorry, are there any vacant rooms nearby? Her clothes need to be changed in time."
"Ah, oh, yes." The sudden change startled the waiter, but fortunately it was not a big deal, so he took the initiative to open the closed door on the side and said, "Please follow me."
Yuan Hanshuang and Xia Danxue exchanged a vague look.
The latter took them to the first room next to the corridor. The waiter was just about to stay here when he turned around and saw Xia Danxue telling him that he had only prepared one set of formal clothes. He was afraid that he would have to bring a cleaning device, so he had no choice but to leave. .
"The first group has successfully entered Corridor [-], and the second group is preparing to take their positions."
In the headset, Zhuge Ci was methodically observing the situation and giving instructions.
Hearing this, many members of the chief group left the dance floor, picked up their wine glasses, and intentionally or unintentionally started chatting with people around them, creating a usual relaxed atmosphere.The children of the aristocratic family, represented by Gudze, put on social smiles and chatted happily with the leaders of various forces in the empire.
Fortunately, there was a lot of drinking and drinking at the dance, so no one would pay close attention.Only the people who had been standing in the audience seats on the second floor and watching the dance floor indifferently frowned.
"The third team has arrived at the scene." On the other side, the agility team represented by Gu Dong had already touched the built-in electric meter from the ventilation duct above the bathroom.
"Listen to my countdown, three, two, one."
The next second, several lights suddenly went out in the middle of the dance floor.
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Yuan Hanshuang quickly opened the door.
The lights in this corridor were also extinguished, and it was impossible to see anything.
"You only have five minutes and you must be back in the room before then."
Xia Danxue took off two smart unlocking instruments from her thighs: "I will help you cover here. If you need anything, contact me through the headset at any time."
"Okay." Yuan Hanshuang took the instrument and walked towards the corridor without saying a word.
Within 5 minutes, she must go to the studio, activate the Trojan horse program that Zhuge Ci had hidden in advance, and record her voiceprint.
Wei Shaoyuan, who was standing on the second floor, frowned, turned around and ordered his subordinates to go to the power supply room to investigate, but was told that the live broadcast was still going on, and only some of the lights were extinguished, which was the normal process of the dance.
The people responsible for arranging the dance were royal staff, which Xuanyuan Sheng had found out.Wei Shaoyuan remembered that the masquerade did have a process of turning off the lights, so he thought they were turning off the lights one by one, so he didn't think much about it.
Only Wei Yubo, with his fiery eyes, could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
He picked up the whiskey and walked to Yi Yangyun's side: "What are you little brats planning in secret?"
In fact, many accompanying teachers from colleges have noticed in recent days that contestants from their colleges may be secretly preparing to cause trouble. Among them, the first clue to be discovered was Tao Xue from Qingbei.
It is impossible for a teacher to not know what kind of character these contestants are.My own students suffered casualties in the first stage of the competition, and were forced to sign restrictions later. Many teachers who accompanied the team were also dissatisfied and united to protest to the competition supervision team, but all were rejected.
Adults are different from these students. They have too many things to consider. Not to mention work, even out of consideration for their families, they cannot take any tough measures and can only return in frustration.
But it would be different if students united.
These proud people are the future of the empire. In addition, the law does not hold everyone accountable. Even if they join forces to break the truth, the empire will probably only hold its nose and admit it.
Wei Yubo was not worried about whether this group of people could break through the sky. He was worried about being noticed and suppressed by the empire before they could break through.
"Don't worry, teacher." Yi Yangyun said solemnly: "We will seek justice for the students who sacrificed their lives."
He still wanted to say something, but after hearing the instructions in the headset, he could only quickly pick up the wine glass, take the initiative to walk up to a senior military officer who wanted to approach the nearby area, and strike up a conversation in a rather unskilled manner.
"Oh, these little bastards have experienced a life and death crisis, and they seem to have really grown up."
After returning to the teachers' area, Wei Yubo couldn't help but sigh to Zuo Zitao.
"It's normal." Zuo Zitao, who has experienced strong winds and waves, is not surprised: "Last year, the two major campuses were attacked. The students of Silver Star and the students of the Imperial Military Academy have a completely new mental outlook after the start of this year. Including their fighting philosophy, as well as their energy God, the most outstanding thing is that the group of imperial military cadets have lost their previous arrogance. Although they are immature, they already have the most basic awareness of soldiers. Otherwise, why is it said that the battlefield is the best whetstone?"
Facts have proved that although the attack on the campus last year was extremely thrilling, the gains it brought were also valuable.
When something happened in the Academy Ranking Tournament, Silver Star and the Imperial Military Academy were the first to respond and united. It was enough to see that not a single student was lost.
"They will have to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the empire in the future. Although the baptism of blood is a bit early for those who are still studying in the academy, it is not a bad thing."
On the other side, Yuan Hanshuang successfully completed the task within 4 minutes.
On the way, she bumped into Bian Yu, who came to meet her, and hurried back.
When she walked to the room in the dark, Yuan Hanshuang frowned.
She felt the presence of another person at the door not far away.
Xia Danxue, who was originally staying here, had to leave early to cope with the waiter's return.Zhuge Ci has been keeping an eye on the entire audience, and the outside of the corridor is also a key surveillance area. As long as someone attempts to approach, they will immediately be persuaded by the main members of each college to leave in various ways. Logically speaking, it is impossible to let people in casually.
However, for the sake of safety, the headset was a single-wire device. Yuan Hanshuang could not notify him immediately, so he could only approach cautiously, ready to attack immediately if something went wrong, and deal with the person first.
As she got closer, the defensive aura around her slowly relaxed.
Although they couldn't see their fingers and their faces were blurred by masks, the aura of the person at the door was very familiar to Yuan Hanshuang.
Pure mythological mimetic energy, usually a little alienated, but after meeting her, he immediately slowed down and softened his mental field. Except for Lou Jia, whom she had teased just now, he did not think about anyone else.
"Why did you come here suddenly? Didn't Zhuge Ci arrange other tasks for you?"
Yuan Hanshuang put on a smile, and without waiting for anyone to react, she took the other person's hand without saying a word and took the initiative to walk out: "The matter is done, let's go, let's continue dancing on the dance floor."
The author has something to say:
It is known that Xiaobai and Xiaohei are the same person. When their faces are covered, the aura they feel to others is exactly the same.
Of course, if Shuang Bao carefully expands the field of mental power, he will find that what appears is not the holy light dumpling, but the black light dumpling. In fact, it is still identifiable_(:з」∠)_I can only say that it is a wonderful misunderstanding.Xiaohei: You actually regard me as his substitute? ! (Incompetent rage)

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
This sudden rule change caught all the contestants off guard.
In the interstellar age, the masquerade has been given more possibilities.
The masks are specially made with electronics. As long as you put on the mask, your face will be blurred. The principle is similar to the principle of the holographic glasses used by Hanshuang in the underworld.Even after putting on the mask, the height and various features can be blurred, so that even a familiar person standing opposite will look like he is looking at a stranger.
It must be said that the royal family is very good at shifting focus and seizing hot spots.
The simple news of changing the rules of the dance immediately detonated the Star Network.
Because after putting on the masks, not only the contestants could not recognize each other, but the Star Network viewers watching through the live broadcast room also could not recognize the contestants.At the traditional dance, contestants from various colleges danced, and everyone was tired of watching it. After joining a game of "Guess Who Am I?", it suddenly became tense and exciting.
The only ones who suffer are the contestants.
The originally prepared dance partners and opening sequence all had to be changed, and the plans they had made before had to be reorganized and adjusted from scratch.
Fortunately, Zhuge Ci has such a walking brain, otherwise he might not be able to do it in one night.
Under such high expectations, the Divine Grace Masquerade officially kicked off.
The venue originally used for team competitions was decorated with a new look. The white tables were filled with various exquisite and beautiful desserts. The champagne tower contained non-alcoholic drinks to decorate the atmosphere.The building with cold and hard lines has also undergone various indoor landscaping in a timely manner, softening the tense atmosphere of the previous competition and adding warmth.
The Divine Grace Festival has always been the biggest festival in the universe, and it is accompanied by a long holiday.
The dance held in the middle of the college ranking competition also has historical significance.After a few gimmicks, the live broadcast room was overcrowded.
In addition to the contestants, the teachers accompanying the team, as well as the top military officials headed by Wei Shaoyuan, all forces in the empire sent human resources representatives.In previous years, this occasion was not only a social occasion between students, but also a great opportunity for the powerful to extend an olive branch to the proud ones.
There is no doubt that the one who is in the spotlight right now is Chairman Silver Star who detected Myth Mimicry a few days ago.
After the fourth Myth Mimicry holder appeared in the interstellar, the news of Yuan Hanshuang was also announced.Born in a remote star, his family was poor, he worked hard and studied hard, and his mimicry flaws made him stand out to various forces.
But because of the premise of the masquerade, you must at least recognize the Silver Star Chairman before you can start a conversation.
Unfortunately, now that all the main contestants from the academy have entered the venue, no one is patting their chests and daring to say who it is.
Everyone tends to be conservative in their choice of clothing. Men all wear formal suits, with a white handkerchief or a budding rose in their suit pocket.For women, they wear a lace skirt, black leather shoes, and some choose shirts of different colors and European-style trousers, with a silk scarf tied on the chest to look fresh and neat.
The barrage in the live broadcast room was dizzying.
"My eyes are dazzled. What is Xiaoyuan wearing today?"
"I don't know. I feel like everyone is wearing the same clothes."
"Help, I'm going to faint. Forget it, I'll wait until the second half of the dance to see who is who."
"I seem to recognize someone. The man in the purple suit must be the chairman of Bauhinia Academy. He also wears a golden rose brooch on his chest. With this gesture, it's not who he is!"
"Actually, have you ever thought about it, it's very easy to identify Obara, just look at who eats the most food on the field.jpg"
Thick white curtains hung on the second floor, with strings of golden tassels hanging in the air.
The string section was playing a soothing serenade in G major, and the conductor was swaying with his back to the dance floor below.
After entering, Yuan Hanshuang walked to the champagne tower and picked up a wine glass.
Today she rarely wore a short silver dress, lace gloves of the same color, and standard seven-centimeter high heels.Normally, Yuan Hanshuang rarely wears this kind of clothing that is not suitable for combat. She would only consider wearing it in such purely social occasions. Today is obviously a special situation.
Yesterday, Xuanyuan Sheng mysteriously pulled Yuan Hanshuang over and took him to a dressing room. He turned on the golden spotlights hanging on the side, making the rows of clothes sparkle.
"Sister! Look! The surprise I have prepared for you!"
Long before the start of the college ranking competition, Xuanyuan Sheng notified his royal tailor and quickly customized a batch of clothes. During that time, the tailor looked at him a little strangely.
But as an elder brother, his determination overcame everything, and Xuanyuan Sheng made up his mind to give his sister a surprise.This is an important rule he learned from the family teaching book "How to Have a Good Relationship with My Sister: My Sister Can't Be So Cute".In any case, if you want to build a good relationship, giving gifts is the right thing to do.Among the things in this book that my sister might like, beautiful clothes are among the top three options.
Yuan Hanshuang: "Thank you."
Although she had already received a large wardrobe of clothes from her old department and a large wardrobe here, it was impossible not to be moved when she saw these clothes customized to her size.
Not to mention anything else, after Yuan Hanshuang traveled through time, he was only generous with himself when it came to food.In the past, in 1999, the clothes were mended and still wearable, and the place to live was a resettlement community. Filling the stomach was the first priority anyway.
So although she still couldn't call out the word "brother" to Xuanyuan Sheng's silly face, she still chose a dress from the dressing room and expressed her gratitude in this awkward way.
"Hey." When the contact person came over, Yuan Hanshuang specially said hello: "Have you ever had the illusion that you were suddenly transferred from the set of the passionate monster-fighting competition to the city channel where people are drinking wine, wearing fragrant clothes, and showing off their hair?"
Through the mask, Zhuge Ci glanced at her lightly: "Although the champagne here has no alcohol content, it has a special brewing aroma. For the sake of the next action, I suggest you not to drink it."
Yuan Hanshuang: "Oh."
She casually put the champagne she took a sip into the waiter's tray.
Although there are many children from aristocratic families in the chief groups of each college, ordinary people still make up the majority. It is the first time to participate in such a formal social occasion, and everyone's demeanor is relatively reserved.Of course, some of the restraint was actually nerves as they were executing the first steps of their plan at the dance.
Before the serenade came to an end, Zhuge Ci's cold voice came from the invisible headset: "Everyone, take your places."
Due to the adjustment of the rules, he could not dance the first dance and could only stand here and observe the situation.In addition, although no one told him, he guessed that there must be something fishy in the Federal Military Academy, and he also needed to leave a few people to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from suddenly jumping out and ruining the plan.
Yuan Hanshuang followed the crowd and walked towards the center of the dance floor.
Soon, someone came towards her and gently took her hand.
"Excuse me, would I be honored to ask you to dance?"
The sound after current processing is slightly hoarse, but it is not difficult to hear the softness inside.
"Of course." Yuan Hanshuang put his hand on his and said with a smile, "How did Chairman Lou recognize me?"
Feel the closeness of this golden-red sun and its softness on your arms.Behind the mask, the face with closed eyes was instantly flushed.At this moment, Lou Jia was very grateful for this mask, which could cover up his gaffe.
He whispered: "The original classmate is very special in my perception field."
"Huh? How special?" she asked curiously.
Yuan Hanshuang finally remembered that the mythical mimics could perceive each other.But after all, she is not the third element in the back row, and she does not focus on the field of mental power. Unlike Lou Jia, she can also use the field of mental power to simulate vision.She had to close her eyes and concentrate on perception to feel the holy and pure white energy on Lou Jia's body.
At this moment, the opening song of the dance party sounded at the right time.
The opening number for a ballroom dance is always relatively slow and not too difficult.After the string section's sound check, the conductor gave an order, and melodious sounds flowed out from under the instruments and echoed on the dance floor.
Everyone moved.Yuan Hanshuang also took the steps of ballroom dancing that she had been practicing under the guidance of Xuanyuan Sheng and Gu Dong for the past two days. The hem of her silver-edged lace skirt swayed slightly, like a bouquet about to bloom.
After decoration by the decorators, fragrant incense was lit around the dance floor. As the skirt turned, different perfumes spread out with the movements.
Lou Jia was sure that his face must have turned redder.
In the close music, he could even hear his own heartbeat beating loudly over the drums.
The golden-red sun that was rising in the lecture hall of the Central Teaching Building now fell in front of him.Whether on the battlefield or at a ball, she is equally moving.
For the first time in his life, Loujia truly felt regretful.It's a pity that I couldn't see this with my own eyes.
His most beautiful imaginations about this world all stayed at the age of seven before awakening to mimicry.At that time, he had not lost his eyes yet and could still run on the green lawn of the orphanage. It was the most beautiful memory of his life.
All Lujia's imagination of beautiful women came from the statue of the goddess he saw after being taken to the Temple of Light at the age of six.Because you cannot look directly at the God, the face of the goddess statue is blurred and cannot be seen clearly. However, the description of the goddess in the temple books is extremely gorgeous.
Lou Jia felt that those words could also be used to describe her.
"By the way, Chairman Lou doesn't have to go back to the Temple of Light to host the Divine Grace Ceremony this year?"
"Because I have to participate in the competition this year, this task is given to the Cardinal." Lou Jia answered obediently.
"That's it." Yuan Hanshuang said with a smile, and couldn't help but add another teaser: "Last year, I saw Chairman Lou wearing the crown of the Holy Son on TV, presiding over the ceremony in front of the Temple Square. By the way, because Zhuge Ci said It's best to wear clothes that are similar to the color of the college today, so I didn't wear the dress given by Chairman Lou, but I tried it on. The dress is very beautiful and I like it very much. If I have a chance next time, I will wear it for you."
This sentence had an extraordinary effect, and the arms hidden under the white formal clothes suddenly tightened.
After a long time, Lou Jia blushed and whispered: "It doesn't matter, as long as you like it."
As a result, when it came to exchanging dance partners, Yuan Hanshuang was not able to get the exact answer from the chairman of the Imperial Military Academy, whose ears were tingling and his head was almost smoking.
But I have to say, seeing how Lou Jia responded to a casual provocation, she had a lot of mischievous thoughts in her mind, just like Rua Gabriel did last time.However, now it is not only a public place, but also a live broadcast, so I have to give up with regret.
"Yuan Hanshuang, take two steps to the left."
Zhuge Ci's voice came from the headset, reminding her like ice water that she should do the right thing.
So Yuan Hanshuang successfully exchanged for the next dance partner.
"Yi Yangyun?" she asked in a low voice.
"Well, it's me." Under the cover of the mask, Yi Yangyun, who is originally tall and two meters tall and is particularly easy to recognize, has also been blurred. Otherwise, he should be the most recognizable one among the people present. .
"We need to jump to C4 and I'll get you there."
If they want to complete their plan at the end of the game, they must make preparations at the Divine Grace Ball, otherwise even if they have this opportunity in the future, they will only be able to achieve nothing.Today's plan is to take advantage of the dance party to sneak into the studio, which is guarded by many checkpoints.The entire dance floor has long been divided into different parts by Zhuge Ci, from A to E.
E9 is the exit they need to perform tasks for this dance, and they are still in the B2 position.There are backstage seats for teachers and staff. It is too eye-catching to go directly there, so you can only take a look.
At the end of the dance, Yuan Hanshuang successfully reached the C4 position.
Before handing her hand to the next person, Yi Yangyun suddenly said: "Lan Xiang will go all out to prepare for the second stage of the team competition. The teacher said that you are the most talented ancient martial arts practitioner he has ever seen. I I’m looking forward to playing against you.”
Before Yuan Hanshuang could reply, he was picked up by another person.
So Mu Xing smiled and said: "The former chairman is dressed very beautifully today."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment." Yuan Hanshuang had always been extremely wary of the old Dongfang chairman who had squinted his eyes all year round and fit the stereotype of the control department: "So, should the chairman also be in such a warm place?" Given the occasion, should we declare war in advance for the second stage of the competition?"
"How could it be?" Gu Mu Xing blinked and said innocently: "As we all know, we in the Old East have always loved peace and never caused trouble. Our participation in the college ranking competition is just for sightseeing."
Yuan Hanshuang gave him a knowing fake smile.
Therefore, Mu Xing sent her to the D6 position and gave her an elegant hand kiss after the dance.
According to the instructions in the headset, the dance partner exchanged this time was Gu Beifeng.
This guy is the most recognisable, mainly because he has such a strong temperament and not everyone can pull off a dark purple suit.
"Actually, the Academy Ranking Tournament is not the first time we have met."
Yuan Hanshuang nodded: "I know, you are the fraudster on the underworld."
Again, the temperament is so recognisable.
"This makes me even more curious." Gu Beifeng raised his eyebrows: "Not everyone has the courage to provoke the Black Tower Prince."
Not to mention anything else, the ID of SpongeBob SquarePants was wanted by the entire Black Tower not long ago, with a bounty of up to one billion star coins, which made many mercenary groups who lick their blood take action.
The five major families in the federation have more or less cooperation with the underworld, but the relationship is only shallow.It just so happens that this time, except for the heir of the Gu family who is nearly forty years old, the heirs of the other four major families have gathered in this academy ranking competition. Together with the heir of the Black Tower, it can be said to be a rare event in a century. scene.
With the current power of the Black Tower in the underground world, the Federation family still chooses to remain ambiguous with the Black Street.
"The Black Prince is a dangerous person. If you can stay away, it's best not to get close."
Unexpectedly, Yuan Hanshuang was a little surprised to hear the same warning as Gu Dong from Gu Beifeng's mouth.But when faced with other people's good intentions, she naturally couldn't say that she had known it for a long time and just responded: "Okay, I will pay attention to it."
Speaking of Jialou, Yuan Hanshuang didn't even know if he attended the dance.
After the first stage of the competition, all surviving members of the Federal Military Academy were taken for interrogation, but no reason was found. After that, the Federal Military Academy began to live in seclusion.Although the venue was so big before the game, I didn't see any of them these days.
While chatting, they came to the destination of this dance.
Xia Danxue, who had arrived at the location, picked up a glass of champagne and turned around at the same time.
"Ah!" Yuan Hanshuang whispered, and the champagne splashed on the corner of her skirt.
"I'm sorry." Shock appeared on Xia Danxue's usually indifferent face. She pulled the waiter aside and said, "I'm sorry, are there any vacant rooms nearby? Her clothes need to be changed in time."
"Ah, oh, yes." The sudden change startled the waiter, but fortunately it was not a big deal, so he took the initiative to open the closed door on the side and said, "Please follow me."
Yuan Hanshuang and Xia Danxue exchanged a vague look.
The latter took them to the first room next to the corridor. The waiter was just about to stay here when he turned around and saw Xia Danxue telling him that he had only prepared one set of formal clothes. He was afraid that he would have to bring a cleaning device, so he had no choice but to leave. .
"The first group has successfully entered Corridor [-], and the second group is preparing to take their positions."
In the headset, Zhuge Ci was methodically observing the situation and giving instructions.
Hearing this, many members of the chief group left the dance floor, picked up their wine glasses, and intentionally or unintentionally started chatting with people around them, creating a usual relaxed atmosphere.The children of the aristocratic family, represented by Gudze, put on social smiles and chatted happily with the leaders of various forces in the empire.
Fortunately, there was a lot of drinking and drinking at the dance, so no one would pay close attention.Only the people who had been standing in the audience seats on the second floor and watching the dance floor indifferently frowned.
"The third team has arrived at the scene." On the other side, the agility team represented by Gu Dong had already touched the built-in electric meter from the ventilation duct above the bathroom.
"Listen to my countdown, three, two, one."
The next second, several lights suddenly went out in the middle of the dance floor.
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Yuan Hanshuang quickly opened the door.
The lights in this corridor were also extinguished, and it was impossible to see anything.
"You only have five minutes and you must be back in the room before then."
Xia Danxue took off two smart unlocking instruments from her thighs: "I will help you cover here. If you need anything, contact me through the headset at any time."
"Okay." Yuan Hanshuang took the instrument and walked towards the corridor without saying a word.
Within 5 minutes, she must go to the studio, activate the Trojan horse program that Zhuge Ci had hidden in advance, and record her voiceprint.
Wei Shaoyuan, who was standing on the second floor, frowned, turned around and ordered his subordinates to go to the power supply room to investigate, but was told that the live broadcast was still going on, and only some of the lights were extinguished, which was the normal process of the dance.
The people responsible for arranging the dance were royal staff, which Xuanyuan Sheng had found out.Wei Shaoyuan remembered that the masquerade did have a process of turning off the lights, so he thought they were turning off the lights one by one, so he didn't think much about it.
Only Wei Yubo, with his fiery eyes, could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
He picked up the whiskey and walked to Yi Yangyun's side: "What are you little brats planning in secret?"
In fact, many accompanying teachers from colleges have noticed in recent days that contestants from their colleges may be secretly preparing to cause trouble. Among them, the first clue to be discovered was Tao Xue from Qingbei.
It is impossible for a teacher to not know what kind of character these contestants are.My own students suffered casualties in the first stage of the competition, and were forced to sign restrictions later. Many teachers who accompanied the team were also dissatisfied and united to protest to the competition supervision team, but all were rejected.
Adults are different from these students. They have too many things to consider. Not to mention work, even out of consideration for their families, they cannot take any tough measures and can only return in frustration.
But it would be different if students united.
These proud people are the future of the empire. In addition, the law does not hold everyone accountable. Even if they join forces to break the truth, the empire will probably only hold its nose and admit it.
Wei Yubo was not worried about whether this group of people could break through the sky. He was worried about being noticed and suppressed by the empire before they could break through.
"Don't worry, teacher." Yi Yangyun said solemnly: "We will seek justice for the students who sacrificed their lives."
He still wanted to say something, but after hearing the instructions in the headset, he could only quickly pick up the wine glass, take the initiative to walk up to a senior military officer who wanted to approach the nearby area, and strike up a conversation in a rather unskilled manner.
"Oh, these little bastards have experienced a life and death crisis, and they seem to have really grown up."
After returning to the teachers' area, Wei Yubo couldn't help but sigh to Zuo Zitao.
"It's normal." Zuo Zitao, who has experienced strong winds and waves, is not surprised: "Last year, the two major campuses were attacked. The students of Silver Star and the students of the Imperial Military Academy have a completely new mental outlook after the start of this year. Including their fighting philosophy, as well as their energy God, the most outstanding thing is that the group of imperial military cadets have lost their previous arrogance. Although they are immature, they already have the most basic awareness of soldiers. Otherwise, why is it said that the battlefield is the best whetstone?"
Facts have proved that although the attack on the campus last year was extremely thrilling, the gains it brought were also valuable.
When something happened in the Academy Ranking Tournament, Silver Star and the Imperial Military Academy were the first to respond and united. It was enough to see that not a single student was lost.
"They will have to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the empire in the future. Although the baptism of blood is a bit early for those who are still studying in the academy, it is not a bad thing."
On the other side, Yuan Hanshuang successfully completed the task within 4 minutes.
On the way, she bumped into Bian Yu, who came to meet her, and hurried back.
When she walked to the room in the dark, Yuan Hanshuang frowned.
She felt the presence of another person at the door not far away.
Xia Danxue, who was originally staying here, had to leave early to cope with the waiter's return.Zhuge Ci has been keeping an eye on the entire audience, and the outside of the corridor is also a key surveillance area. As long as someone attempts to approach, they will immediately be persuaded by the main members of each college to leave in various ways. Logically speaking, it is impossible to let people in casually.
However, for the sake of safety, the headset was a single-wire device. Yuan Hanshuang could not notify him immediately, so he could only approach cautiously, ready to attack immediately if something went wrong, and deal with the person first.
As she got closer, the defensive aura around her slowly relaxed.
Although they couldn't see their fingers and their faces were blurred by masks, the aura of the person at the door was very familiar to Yuan Hanshuang.
Pure mythological mimetic energy, usually a little alienated, but after meeting her, he immediately slowed down and softened his mental field. Except for Lou Jia, whom she had teased just now, he did not think about anyone else.
"Why did you come here suddenly? Didn't Zhuge Ci arrange other tasks for you?"
Yuan Hanshuang put on a smile, and without waiting for anyone to react, she took the other person's hand without saying a word and took the initiative to walk out: "The matter is done, let's go, let's continue dancing on the dance floor."
The author has something to say:
It is known that Xiaobai and Xiaohei are the same person. When their faces are covered, the aura they feel to others is exactly the same.
Of course, if Shuang Bao carefully expands the field of mental power, he will find that what appears is not the holy light dumpling, but the black light dumpling. In fact, it is still identifiable_(:з」∠)_I can only say that it is a wonderful misunderstanding.Xiaohei: You actually regard me as his substitute? ! (Incompetent rage)
