Zongman: Please stop destroying the worldview!

Saiki: "It's okay, it's just that my future vision suddenly activated."

The future vision that Qi Mu triggered this time was very bad for him, even more troublesome than the explosion of this shopping mall:

"A man named Toyokawa Shoko came to meet this group of people, and then immediately—

Some people cry, some make a scene, some kneel down, some run away. All eyes will be focused here, and then I will be on the front page of tomorrow's news.

Oh my, it's not over yet. This woman named Nagasaki Suyo will start investigating everyone present.

Chen Mo and I will be pestered by her endlessly, and her strange schemes will cause double the trouble when they encounter people in my class."

Qi Mu's eyes became sharp, and he said in his mind:

"If there's any trouble, solve it for me immediately."

Chen Mo: "What trouble?"

Saiki: "It will drag you and me into the quagmire of interpersonal relationships. That woman named Toyokawa Shoko is coming over. Once she meets the people here and hears that song called Kasuga Shadow, the situation here will be like nuclear fission, causing endless trouble. These are all people you know, take care of them."

The current situation is particularly serious for Saiki, who does not want to be exposed, because Lenai's sudden guitar playing has attracted a lot of people's attention. He cannot teleport away in public, and his hypnosis ability is cooling down because he just used it.

Qi Mu could already imagine how many outrageous rumors about himself would spread in the school tomorrow after being involved in the feuds and grudges between high school girls - was his peaceful life going to say goodbye like this?

"Xiangzi? She has such magical abilities?

Anyway, Lenai, don't play it for now. Go to the practice room if you want to play."

Chen Mo, who heard the seriousness of the situation from Qi Mu's internal communication, decided to stop it. He first used his big hand to forcibly interrupt Le Na's performance, and handed her to Li Xi with an angry look like a girl cat:

"Don't the Flower Girl Three Musketeers still have to rehearse? You guys should go quickly, or we won't have enough time today."

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Su Shi was also shocked:

"The Flower Girl Three Musketeers? Is that the new band that Li Xi formed with his friends from the same school? Is this kid your new guitarist?

Why? If you want to play in a band, you can come to me. Have you really given up on everyone in CRYCHIC?"

Li Xi continued with a straight face: "It's just a temporary band that will disband after one performance. It has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Mu, who had been silent for a long time, finally found the opportunity to speak: "Well, it's the first performance, and another band is going to disappear."

This sentence completely broke the defenses of both Su Shi and Xiao Deng. Even Li Xi felt a strange sense of guilt: "Huh?"

Sushi nearly lost her temper, but held it back. Yes, Mu's words had been so hurtful since the day Crychic disbanded, the final straw that broke the camel's back. But if Riki's band disbanded all at once, she could still be brought back. Also, Xiao Deng didn't attend Hanasakigawa, so she definitely wasn't one of the Three Musketeers of Hana-chan, so she could rest assured.

Su Shi thought carefully in a short time: So, it must be that Li Xi wanted to reorganize CRYCHIC, but was embarrassed to tell everyone, so he could only find friends from the same school to perform Kasuga Film as a "meal substitute" to relive those good times.

For this reason, she even handed Kasuga Shadow over to this cat-like child. If you think about it carefully, CRYCHIC Shi Lixi also took good care of Xiao Mu, and this guitarist named Lenai was a man of few words and a more withdrawn personality, which really resembled Xiao Mu, and Xiao Mu was also a guitarist,,,,

Therefore, the "Three Musketeers of Flower Girls" who disbanded after one performance were actually used by the lonely Li Xi as a substitute for CRYCHIC!

The mask of fake smile appeared on Su Shi's face again: "I see, I understand Li Xi's feelings now. You can be more frank."

Li Xi: “Huh?”

-

Saiki: "Oh no, it's too late. If we waste time talking like this, Toyokawa Shoko will show up soon!"

While everyone was talking, Xiangzi turned the corner and came face to face with them.

The scene was silent for a few seconds, followed by a unanimous exclamation.

Su Shi: “Xiao Xiang?!”

Li Xi: "Xiangzi? Why are you here?"

Deng: "Xiao,,,Xiao Xiang?"

Mu: "Xiang, appear."

Aine: "Uh, Xiangzi-san? You all know him?"

Chu Hua finally arrived late, and at this moment he took off his sunglasses tremblingly, "Xiao Xiang..."

Xiangzi, who was suddenly covered in faces by all his old acquaintances:,,,,? ? ! ! !

Xiangzi closed his eyes in despair. How nice it would be if he could just not see and escape all this!

Chapter 62 Shiina Riki's Misunderstanding

Not to mention Xiangzi, who was about to collapse after just adjusting his mentality and being attacked by all his old teammates, everyone else present had their own thoughts.

Su Shi was first overwhelmed with unexpected joy: after Xiangzi quit the band and the band disbanded that day, she had lost contact with the band members.

I've tried so hard to contact Xiangzi, but I can't even find her. I don't even know where she lives or goes to school. Who would have thought that after searching so long, I could find her without any effort! Today, all the members of CRYCHIC—myself, Deng, Lixi, Mu, and Xiangzi—are gathered here. It seems like CRYCHIC's revival is just around the corner!

Xiao Mu was already feeling the pressure: As Xiangzi's childhood friend, she naturally knew about her current situation. Xiangzi had sternly warned her not to tell anyone about her current situation. But today, Xiangzi suddenly ran into all of her old teammates. Although it wasn't her fault, Xiangzi wouldn't blame her, right? Sushi was also a valuable friend of hers. What would she do if Xiangzi and Sushi came into conflict?

Deng's depression deepened: CRYCHIC disbanded after their first performance. Commentators criticized him for overworking the lead singer, and Xiangzi, before leaving the group, accused him of being the one who needed the most practice. Deng, accustomed to internal friction, began to feel guilty, believing that CRYCHIC's disbandment was his fault. This led to a wave of self-blame and avoidance when facing Xiangzi.

Chuhua trembled. It had been so many years since they'd last seen each other on the island, and now she was finally face to face with Xiaoxiang again. Even though he'd become a big star, Xiangzi hadn't contacted her, and Chuhua never dared to approach him, at best hiding in the shadows and secretly watching him.

Because my mind is too dirty, because my life experience is too taboo, because my existence has destroyed Xiangzi's happy life, how can such a lowly me be worthy of meeting her in the sun? But fate makes us meet suddenly at this moment. Can the eternal tragic clown on the stage also usher in his own highlight?

Li Xi was the only one in the group who didn't think too much about it. He was simply surprised and was the first to greet Xiangzi: "Xiangzi? Why are you here? Why haven't you contacted me since the band disbanded?"

-

In the second before the disaster, Chen Mo and Qi Mu had dozens of mental conversations, as if time had slowed down.

In fact, the two of them communicated with each other mentally at an extremely fast speed. Qi Mu had never tried such an intense conversation before.

Qi Mu: "Hurry up and think of a way to prevent them from recognizing each other! Find a way to fool them!"

Chen Mo: "Is it really that serious? After all, it's probably just a dispute between a group of high school girls in a band. There's no need to make such a fuss."

Saiki: "Solve it for me."

During the telepathic communication, Qi Mu's face was already distorted like a ghost, and Chen Mo had no choice but to surrender:

"Okay, I'll try to figure it out. I've thought of a way to convince them that this isn't Xiangzi, but I'm not sure if I can hide it from them."

Saiki: "I will use my ability to make your words more convincing. As long as I can make up a suitable reason, I can convince others. But it can't be too outrageous. Can they believe what you say?"

Chen Mo: "I think it should be quite convincing."

Qi Mu: "Then hurry up! You know you still owe me a favor."

Chen Mo: "Qi Mu actually even said something like owing someone a favor. The situation must be really serious."

-

When Xiangzi, feeling complicated, was about to push Lixi back with the words "It has nothing to do with you", Chen Mo grabbed Lixi's arm and said anxiously:

"Wait a minute, Li Xi, you've got the wrong person! She's not Toyokawa Shoko, her name is Oblivionis!"

Xiangzi's words were swallowed back, turning into a pile of questions: Wait, when did Chen Mo know I was Oblivionis? And why is he here? What on earth is he going to do?

Li Xi: "Huh? Are you kidding? She is obviously..."

Chen Mo pretended to be more stern than ever before and responded, "Lixi. I'm not kidding. Her name is Oblivionis, not the Toyokawa Shoko you know."

She does look a lot like Toyokawa Shoko, and they have a complicated relationship, but she is not Toyokawa Shoko. Calling her another person's name will really hurt her!

Xiangzi is indeed more famous, has more friends, and is liked by more people. But Oblivionis also has her own name and her own life. She is no substitute for anyone!

If you were to confuse her with Toyokawa Shoko like everyone else, that would be going too far!

Do you understand, Lixi?

Chen Mo's words shook Li Xi's heart like a huge bell. Countless memories flooded into his mind, followed by shame and self-blame.

"I see. Like, me and my sister."

Li Xi's attitude softened: "I'm sorry."

-

What kind of person is Tatsuki Shiina?

Li Xi once wished so much that someone would ask this question, but no one did.

All the eyes looking at her were looking at another person with similar features;

All the words spoken to her were inquiring about another person with a similar voice;

Her older sister - Shiina Maki.

Riki has a gifted older sister, Maki, who is four years her senior. Maki was a star student at Haneda, a champion of the regional wind instrument competition, a prodigy, and a school celebrity—all of which weighed heavily on Riki, who knew she would never catch up to her sister.

From childhood to adulthood, everyone always refers to Li Xi as "Maki's younger sister". Every achievement she makes will be compared with her talented sister, and the conclusion will be drawn that "she is not as good as her sister, just so-so".

She did a great job, she is worthy of being Maki's sister.

What she did was terrible. Is she worthy of being Maki's sister?

The shadow of her sister always loomed over her. Li Xi felt that her face was becoming blank, with only a label of "Maki's sister" on it.

A sense of inferiority, even greater and heavier than her sister's shadow, weighed down her, and even after transferring to Hanasakigawa, she couldn't escape the question that echoed in her heart:

"Does someone like me have the right to live in this world?"

Fortunately, she came into contact with music, and fortunately, she met Takamatsu Deng.

Deng, who was also not good at speaking and out of tune with the world, was shocked by her singing and her figure trying her best to show herself on the stage.

At that time, Lixi swore that he could not show himself as hard as Deng, but he could definitely protect Deng and continue singing like this. This must be the value of his existence in the world.

I know firsthand how it feels to be treated as a substitute for someone else, to be suffocated by someone similar but superior to me. Yet, I almost inflicted this pain on someone else—it was truly awful.

Li Xi strengthened his conviction, walked up to Xiangzi and said:

"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person just now. Nice to meet you, oblivionis-san. I'm Shiina Riki."

Chapter 63 Misunderstanding the Cubic Power

Xiangzi:,,,,!!

Although he didn't know what was going on, Chen Mo had managed to fool Li Xi with just two sentences. Should he just go along with it and admit it? No, the chances of success were too low. Even if Li Xi had been tricked, with so many people here, all of whom were very familiar with him, it was impossible for him to be fooled by Chen Mo.
