Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 250 249. Feel like you’re helping someone play house?
Soon, Sefer realized the extent to which an entertainment-oriented fantasy space could go for these things.

In just a few minutes, the venue was cleaned up and even attracted a group of new audiences... But that's not the problem.

Seifer leaned against the door frame and knocked on the door. "Ms. Mimi, we're going to go on stage in eight minutes. Are you ready yet?"

Cypher still hasn't figured out the theme and crisis of this giant phenomenon. The only thing he knows is that there is one less mercenary in the communication.

It seems that they encountered a crisis without being prepared, and sent it before they could get through it... This is what Laika said in the communication.

This is where things get interesting - you know, the mercenaries that have come here now are not just vagrants or guys who are just here to get by.

The people coming in now are all experts who can use them on their machines to quickly suppress the battlefield, or quickly penetrate and bring death to mobile strongholds in the battle.

Even such a person was inexplicably killed and kicked out of the phenomenon, which can no longer be considered normal.

After comparing various aspects, Cypher realized that... things were switching between going smoothly and not going smoothly very, very, very quickly.

He glanced at the omnidirectional closed-circuit television at the end of the corridor, then continued to knock on the door: "Ms. Mimi, you have seven minutes before you go on stage."

The 'star' whispered softly from inside: "Red Crossbow, can you come in for a moment?"

Seifer exchanged a glance with another bodyguard standing at the intersection, who shrugged, and he pushed the door open and went inside.

There were two people in the room, which was decorated garishly but generally speaking, at least the makeup was definitely okay, one of whom was naturally 'Miss Mimi'.

Even if there was a fully automatic dressing table, she had no interest at all... Of course, this thing was just a small embellishment for this big star who was nominated.

Although she was a natural, Sefer could tell that this superstar was definitely not someone picked up randomly on the street or from a talent show. She must have been specially trained or even cultivated by this entertainment company.

The other person was Shengnai, who was concerned about her and was using medical procedures to confirm whether her injuries had recovered.

When Cypher came in, her first words were, "I...I don't want to go on stage, at least not today."

"Why? Isn't your job to perform on stage or give interviews?" Seifer was puzzled, then thought she might be afraid of being attacked. "Don't worry, I can block machine gun fire like this for you, let alone anything else."

"Some of those people in the stands were carrying explosives, but I dealt with them in advance."

Mimi looked distressed, but she didn't seem angry or venting at all. "What are you talking about? Blood, blood all over the floor, and those people, they were cut into several pieces, weren't they?"

"And those injured people just bled to death, and a bodyguard like you... just coldly killed the attackers and watched them die..."

Even in this situation, she seemed to be using a tactful approach, and her words sounded as if she was whispering in your ear. It was obvious that she had received such special education.

But let's not worry about what kind of education she received. The first thing to solve is how to make her advance the mission.

Even during the communication, Leica reminded that the relationships established in the vision are false, because no one knows whether they will enter the same vision next time.

The people inside are just vision structures - when saying this, Laika obviously forgot that before in the Doomsday Train, Cypher's driving and brave actions made the people on the train admire him.

But it is true that Sefer cannot stay here for too long, because the time inside the fantasy is limited and he cannot waste too much time.

So he simply replied: "The problem lies with the attackers, not us bodyguards or the victims. Now all you have to do is go out and continue the show, and reassure the remaining audience and those watching the live broadcast." "I don't quite understand the program arrangements. If it really was a matter of major responsibility, the production team should have arranged to stop the show. Since they didn't stop, it means it should be safe from now on."

Logically, that's what she said, but the star clearly wasn't trying to be logical. She probably needed time to recover after seeing a bunch of people being torn apart at such a close distance.

So, after a brief moment of hesitation, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Shengnai: "Right, right, I remember she and I are almost exactly the same, right? How about this, I really don't want to go to the interview today... Can she help me?"

Being suddenly mentioned, Shengnai blinked blankly, then said softly, "But, I don't know anything about being an idol, you know? I'm only good at doing first aid here."

"It's okay! I'll give you the contact lenses I use for the teleprompter. There are people behind the scenes analyzing and answering all the questions. For a regular broadcast like this, no one will care about what's wrong with your eyes!"

Well... it's a vision after all, and it has its own set of rules... After hearing this kind of thing so many times, Sefer almost believed it.

He turned to ask Shengnai for his opinion, and to be honest he had no intention of asking Shengnai for help at all.

Putting aside other things, if 'Mimi' was beaten up, Shengnai could react immediately and help, but what if Shengnai was injured?

Furthermore, if she accidentally sacrifices herself, then in the end, Cypher will end the vision journey alone, which will not meet the previous expectations no matter how you think about it.

So Sefer decided to be patient and try to communicate with her again. If that didn't work, he would just drag the willful star out of the room. Anyway, as long as she went to the venue, it would be fine.

Just as he was about to 'persuade' her, Sheng Nai suddenly took off his hat and said, "Well... if that's the case, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. Sai... Red Crossbow, come here for a moment, okay?"

The two of them squatted in the corner, out of Mimi's reach. Shengnai whispered, "I think this should be the driving force behind the vision, the method that allows us to deeply participate in the incident."

"It's possible, but your safety..."

"Don't worry, this place is fixed. Even if you fail accidentally, you won't lose your life. The reward at the end will just be worse."

Shengnai's subjective initiative in this kind of thing is really strong.

After a brief discussion, Cypher nodded. "Okay, but from now on, I will pay full attention to you to prevent any possible harm. Okay?"

For some reason, Shengnai's smile was a bit shy, but also a bit happy. It was really hard to understand the heart of a delicate girl.

After the agreement was made, Sefer helped her put on very thin contact lenses, and all the auxiliary devices in the room started working. After only two minutes, the two people in front of him completed the exchange of identities.

From now on, Shengnai will appear on stage as the "pillar" of the entertainment company and appear before the public as Miss Mimi.

The real Miss Mimi became an unknown, unknown medical staff member that no one paid attention to... and a very poor one at that.

Cypher was skeptical about whether she could complete the "medical care" work, but since both parties involved were eager to try, he didn't care.

Then, next up is the debut!
