Luo Tianyi stood in the middle of the street in the futuristic city, her gray hair gently lifted by a cold wind.

The struggle within a dystopian world shatters dreams into dust.

My heart is also locked, unable to see the light.

But there's something else I want to do, and actually, there's a lot more I want to say.

Please wait for me, please wait for me.

...]

Luo Tianyi's voice was clear and bright, which surprised many viewers.

"Wait, is this Luo Tianyi?"

"The Land of Light's technology has upgraded again?? Last time when Luo Tianyi sang, her timbre didn't have this much detail. This time, they even simulated her breathing sounds. A-Guang, what exactly did you feed the engine?"

"It's not a matter of technical skill; there are obvious traces of vocal technique in this part of the chorus."

Either the Land of Light hired a live singer and then did a sound mixing lab to blend the vocals, or Tianyi's voicebank has been upgraded to a terrifying level.

"Stop analyzing, let's listen to the music first!"

This is immediately followed by a live rap segment.

Rapper is a young male voice with a slightly hoarse tone, and his pronunciation retains a lot of colloquial swallowing and breathy sounds.

Let's have a good talk then. How much is my conscience really worth?

......

The sunlight hitting my face was truly blinding, but it couldn't reach my heart.

......

Live as a cog in anyone's machine

Getting a good night's sleep has become a long-cherished wish.

The rap segment performed by the real person is like a self-narration of a confused teenager.

I am filled with doubts about society and about myself.

It is also a true reflection of many young people.

"A good night's sleep has become my greatest wish, that's me; my conscience is worthless, that's me; Ah Guang, please stop letting your rapper read my diary, the court summons is still on its way."

"Social pressure, family pressure—they only tell you what you should do: take the postgraduate entrance exam, take the civil service exam, buy a house, get married, have children. Nobody ever asks me what I want to do..."

Rap performed by a real male voice is itself a form of theatrical expression.

This forms a stark contrast to Luo Tianyi's pure and clear voice.

"As expected of Ah Guang, he dares to write such words. Could Ah Guang's idol be Zhou Xun?"

"It's quite possible that Xun Ge'er is also a master of yin and yang, who likes to criticize and isn't afraid of trouble."

"Ah-Guang: Making animation can't save people, but it can kill them."

A realistic rap song with a critical edge, using a virtual singer as a narrative shell, and adding real male voices to enhance resonance.

This positioning is already quite clever.

Everyone thought that this song had accomplished a brilliant piece of writing on a social issue.

But Yang Qian never ends where you think it ends.

Luo Tianyi stopped in her tracks in the video.

The backdrop of the glass city began to darken, and the LED artificial sky flickered, revealing its true nature for the first time.

An arched dome composed of countless surveillance cameras.

The night wind blew in through the cracks in the artificial sky, scattering Luo Tianyi's bangs.

She turned around and walked against the flow of people.

[

only because

Your heart, yearning for freedom, is trapped in a net with no gaps.

There was light around us, but it was so bright it burned us.

It's inevitable to feel lost in this world, but stop carrying a knife around.

At least I'm still singing for you, in this dark and long dystopian world.

Even though we are all in this dark and long dystopian world

]

The moment the chorus came on, all the audience members felt a chill run down their spines.

It was through a dialogue!

If "Undersea" is redemption, then "Dystopia Pt.2" is healing.

There was no preaching, no encouragement or motivation to work hard; I just kept going.

Instead, first acknowledge—

Yes, this world is awful.

But I still want to sing for you.

however--

Here, the rhythm shifts slightly.

Before Luo Tianyi's lingering voice had completely faded, the slightly hoarse male voice returned.

Take my guitar with you, take my songs with you too.

Along with my ideals, my life

......

Perhaps somewhere unseen, a pen drew a utopia.

I will spend eight hours walking, eight hours dreaming, and eight hours planting a flower.

Eight hours!

Upon hearing this, everyone realized the other meaning behind Ah Guang's name.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, eight hours!! He said an eight-hour workday!!! Ah Guang is so bold!"

"Officer, I confess, I swear I found this phone. I didn't turn on this song on my own; the headphones connected by themselves. I really didn't watch it."

"It's all over, I'm not innocent anymore. There's now evidence of a crime in my browsing history. I won't pass the background check, brothers (crying)."

"Don't run away, all of you. I've noted down your IDs. You're all accomplices."

As the rap section continues, the male voice's emotions steadily rise.

I am a typical example.

......

I was passionate about those results.

As a result, I no longer longed for it.

......

Don't feed me chicken soup for the soul

The real killer is the hope you hide in your mouth!

The true god has descended.

No one has ever dared to speak so boldly.

But Ah-Guang said it through the music video of the virtual singer!

Don't try to feed me empty platitudes; the hope hidden in my mouth, the things that make me think, "Just a little longer, just a few more years, and things will be alright..."

They're all murderers!!!

Luo Tianyi's voice came in again.

This time, her voice was different.

The sweetness of the intro has completely faded, replaced by a brighter sound.

Your heart, yearning for freedom, is trapped in a net with no gaps.

There was light around us, but it was so bright it burned us.

...]

Male rap voices are introduced simultaneously.

Take away my confusion, take away my loneliness.

......

At least you're still singing for me.

Half a square meter illuminated Utopia

I will spend eight hours walking, eight hours dreaming, and eight hours planting a flower!

Hopefully, this can be resumed!

Even in a dystopian world, we must strive for a better utopia.

Luo Tianyi: [Live on.]

— [I don't want to become a useless cog in the machine]

【Live! 】

— [Singing haphazardly, but no one can hear her]

Survive

— [If you don't live, you become a useless cog in the machine]

Survive

—【But I will always be able to hear your singing】

The two voices eventually merged into one.

In this dystopian world...

black screen.

Subtitle fades in – Dystopia Pt.2

Singer: Luo Tianyi.

Lyrics and music by A-Guang.

Produced by: Land of Light Animation Studio.

When the music video finished playing, the comment section remained still for a few seconds.

The screen was filled with comments, all of whom were typing the same word.

"Live on."

"Live on."

"Live on."

Wang Teng placed his phone next to his pillow, screen down.

The marks from the ceiling fan were still there, but he could no longer see them clearly.

Through his blurry vision, he could only see sunlight streaming in and sparrows chirping on the windowsill.

Tears streamed down my pillow without me even realizing it.

He cried once in "Under the Sea".

He cried again in Dystopia Pt.2.

Someone sang out his unspoken words, word for word.

......

Despite many setbacks, they still found their salvation in the light of dawn.

Even if you don't know what the purpose of living is;

Even if you don't know what the meaning of life is;

Even though I've felt countless times that this world is a "dystopian"—

Yet they still chose to live.

Because at least there are still people singing for you.

In the long, dark dystopia, even half a square meter can illuminate the utopia.

On the computer screen in front of Yang Qian, the real-time data panel of Starlight Video's backend was still rising.

Both "Undersea" and "Dystopia Pt.2" are breaking platform records for viewership.

"To survive...?"

Tanaka Minoru took a deep breath and closed the Starlight Video app.

Give it a try.

After all, he was Captain Sakurai, the invincible Zoffy!
