Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 93 The Dragon-Slaying Hero Becomes the Dragon Himself? The Victim Is Also the Perpetrator!
Chen Xi frowned slightly as he looked at the comments.

The video comment section is so weird!
It's definitely not normal for there to be absolutely positive reviews and almost no negative ones.

She murmured to herself:
"Is the music made by a game company?"

"interesting."

"Hmph, I'd like to hear it."

Driven by curiosity, Chen Xi swiped the page back to the top and pressed the play button.

A warm electric piano melody begins, carrying a sense of almost desperate helplessness.

It's as if I can see time flowing silently before my eyes, and I can't grasp anything when I try to.

Listen to the entire audio.

Chen Xi remained stunned for a long time.

This song has too strong an ideology.

It ranks in the top ten of the songs she has ever listened to.

When she saw the song title "What Can I Use to Keep You Here" at the beginning of the video, she wondered, who exactly is the "you" in the song title?
Is it a lover?
Is it my hometown?
Or is it youth that will eventually fade away?
but now,
She seemed to understand.

This song is more like a dialogue with "time".

What can I do to hold onto time?
She heard a very clever design in the arrangement.

The transition between the chorus and the verse, with that "fing~~~" sound effect, is like a sudden blurring of consciousness, followed by a momentary reversal of time.

The few "woo woo woo" harmonies at the end of the song seem to freeze time and slow it down infinitely.

Then,

Then suddenly, an ambient sound of a clock hand spinning faster appeared.

It perfectly simulates the feeling of time flying by.

What amazed her even more was the incredibly deep spatial processing of the vocal reverb.

It's so unique.

It can easily create an environment for deep thinking for the listener, guiding them to explore the deeper meaning behind the lyrics.

Her advisor mentioned this when she was in college.

Like novels, music is essentially a vehicle for emotions and thoughts.

People like a song more because they like the emotions it expresses or agree with the ideas the creator wants to convey.

As for how many fancy techniques a song uses, how many instruments it incorporates, or how many different singing styles it employs, all of these techniques should serve the music itself.

"call……"

Chen Xi took a deep breath and closed the video page on Bilibili.

It's not a professional music website, so using it to listen to songs is a bit too troublesome.

Moreover, the sound quality is not optimal.

She desperately wanted to find the official original version of the song, add it to her playlist, and listen to it again.

Her personal playlist hasn't been updated for two whole years.

Today, we're finally going to release our first new song.

To Chen Xi's surprise, she couldn't find the song on "Tianlai Music," the most authoritative and comprehensive music platform in Kyushu.

Unconvinced, she tried searching on several niche music platforms.

Although she found several songs with the same title, neither the sound nor the content were nearly identical to the song she had just heard.

So she quickly messaged her best friend to inquire about the origin of the song.

My best friend replied quickly:
"Oh, you mean this song? My boyfriend shared it with me."

Chen Xi thought for a moment and typed:

"Could you ask for me? (heart emoji)"

A moment later, my best friend sent me a message:

He said he overheard it by chance while watching a game live stream on Bilibili.

"I asked him whose song it was and where I could download it."

He said the song was made by the game company itself, and it can only be heard in the game; other platforms do not have the copyright.

Chen Xi frowned:

"Is there no copyright?"

Upon seeing these four words, I first felt a wave of sadness.

But then, as if she remembered something, her eyes suddenly lit up.

No copyright...

Doesn't this mean that the song doesn't have an official singer yet?

Made by a game company...

Is that AI-generated human voice?

But isn't this technology very expensive?
Moreover, the public is very resistant to AI, and the Jiuzhou government also imposes very large restrictions on artificial intelligence.

Could it be... that they collaborated with some independent singer-songwriter from the community?

No!

Chen Xi's eyes flickered slightly.

We must find out the truth about this!

If she could get the rights to perform this song.

Then we don't need to worry about the music variety show this time!
Just as Chen Xi was frantically contacting his agent...

in the game,
Wang Zixu has already chosen the next song to play.

[The song "What Can I Use to Keep You?" has been successfully unlocked and can be viewed in the music library.]

[Current track list in music library: 1 (Adding four more tracks will unlock related achievements)]

Within the music library, Wang Zixu can freely edit and group music tracks.

However, Curry currently only has one song, and features like grouping and playlists are not very useful.

However, it was the unlocked achievements displayed below that piqued his interest.

Sure enough, the game content updates were not in vain.

Reaching a certain number of songs in your collection will also unlock achievements.

He can take this opportunity to unlock a few more songs.

He unlocked the achievement badge in one go. Wang Zixu switched back to the live stream and typed:
What else would you like to hear?

With the song "What Can I Use to Keep You Here" leading the way, the enthusiasm of the fans was extremely high.

He wanted to see if he could take the opportunity to make another quick buck.

[Hey bro, I've reached level seven in the fan club, can you play "Red High Heels" for me?]

[I think the song "My Beloved" below is pretty good, please play it!]

【…】

Wang Zixu is interacting enthusiastically with his viewers in the live stream, choosing the next song.

Suddenly, a woman's scream rang out from behind.

Then,

Then they heard Wang Mazi's furious shout:

"Fuck your mother!"

"Are you fucking capable?"

Wang Zixu's eyes narrowed, and the live stream chat disappeared.

Suddenly turned around,

A woman was huddled in the corner of the sofa, trembling.

The other woman covered her mouth, seemingly spitting something out, and stumbled out of the private room.

The woman ran out not long ago.

The door to the private room was kicked open, and a group of burly men wielding rubber batons rushed in.

The woman who ran away pointed at Wang Mazi and cried out:
"It was him! He just put something in my mouth..."

Before he could finish speaking, he leaned against the wall and dry heaved, vomiting all over the floor.

Wang Zixu sensed something was seriously wrong; it seemed Wang Mazi had gone a bit too far.

They didn't even have time to watch the live stream and request songs.

He quietly took half a step back and casually grabbed the microphone from the song selection console.

In case a fight really breaks out, this thing can at least serve as half a weapon.

He didn't want to die here in a muddle.

Wang Mazi remained calm and composed, slowly pulling a slip of paper from his pocket.

This is the receipt the woman at the front desk gave me.

The leader of the group carrying rubber batons glanced at the list, and without saying a word, slapped the woman who had just run away.

"Snapped!"

The slap landed squarely.

The woman staggered and fell to the ground.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, standing out starkly against his pale face.

The man shouted:
"Don't you have any self-awareness about your own class?"

"Still can't you figure out your place?"

"If there's a next time, you can forget about staying at the club."

"You feel……"

Before the man could finish speaking, the woman suddenly knelt down with a "plop," crying and shouting with snot and tears streaming down her face:

"Don't!"

Don't send me away!

"I'll wait!"

"I will work hard."

"I promise it won't happen again!"

Although the man only said half of what he meant, Wang Zixu had been here for several days and had heard many rumors.

Although it is unknown what they will be sent there to do, it must be some extremely perverse and cruel method, to the point that these women feel that living is more terrifying than death or rotting away.

Wang Mazi smiled as he watched the group leave the private room, then he waved to Wang Zixu and offered him a cigarette.

"Hey bro, go outside and have a smoke, wait for me a bit."

Seeing Wang Mazi's shifty eyes, Wang Zixu felt a strange unease.

He glanced down at the woman huddled in the corner.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he could roughly guess that Wang Mazi had definitely done something outrageous.

Just as he was about to say a few words of advice, Wang Mazi shoved him out of the private room.

"Click" sound.

The door to the private room was locked from the inside.

Then,

Wang Zixu then heard Wang Mazi's loud roar coming from inside:

"Go ahead and keep yelling, you fucking bastard? Huh?"

"Keep calling for help!"

"Let's see who dares to come!"

"Nima's!"

"Kneel down for me!"

Wang Zixu stood outside the door.

Hearing the woman's heart-wrenching cries and pleas for mercy coming from inside, he frowned deeply.

He couldn't help but start to re-evaluate Wang Mazi as a person.

Wang Mazi was a victim who was tricked into coming to the park.

But at this very moment, aren't we also perpetrators of violence?
He had heard the story of the dragon-slaying boy who eventually became the dragon himself.

Wang Mazi is inflicting the suffering and humiliation he endured in the park on those weaker than himself with even greater cruelty.

In essence, how is he any different from the managers and ordinary workers in the park now?
And such a person

Would they really be sincere in cooperating with me to escape the park?
