Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

The sound grew louder and louder like a snowball, until everyone present was engulfed by the wave.

Everyone was shouting that name like crazy, at the top of their lungs, each one louder and more passionate than the last.

They were welcoming the new Silver King - Bai Ye.

The entire venue seemed to be shaking because of the deafening shouts.

On the stage, the members of Aurora were also infected by the atmosphere that was as hot as the sun and as turbulent as a tsunami.

They were immersed in this wonderful moment, as if time had stopped for them, and all their efforts and sweat were perfectly rewarded at this moment.

Hailing, Miaomeng, Mortis, and Chuhua slowly came to Bai Ye's side and formed a semicircle with him as the center, like stars surrounding the moon, surrounding Bai Ye in the center.

They imitated Bai Ye's posture, raised their hands high, then slowly bent down and bowed deeply to the audience to express their most sincere gratitude.

Bai Ye shared this glory with everyone, the glory brought by him.

"Meow~ In that case..."

A cunning arc appeared at the corner of Miao Meng's mouth. She slowly reached her hand into her pocket, and her fingertips touched the mask that belonged to Aurora.

[Since Bai Yezi has revealed his identity as a magician, I will add fuel to the fire.]

[It’s time for the Phantom of the Abyss to reveal its true identity]

"I advise you not to do this, you will really be banned." Hailing was quick-witted and quickly pressed Miao Meng's wrist and whispered in the latter's ear.

"Huh? But Bai Yezi also..."

"No, he's different."

Hailing's voice suddenly became stern, and her eyes became sharp. She looked directly into Miaomeng's eyes, seeing through her thoughts.

Her hand was tightly placed on Miao Meng's wrist, and her fingers exerted slight force, as if transmitting an invisible pressure.

The next second, if Miao Meng dared to take out the mask, Hai Ling would take action without hesitation, strangle her throat and pin her to the ground.

Even if doing so might hurt their already weak friendship.

Hailing has only been with Aurora for less than a year.

But she had long ago observed the core of the Aurora's operation - the white night.

During the time she joined Aurora, Hailing witnessed countless changes.

The lead singer, guitarist, bassist and drummer kept changing like a revolving lantern.

However, only the white night exists consistently.

[The white night is different from us, the aurora is creating gods]

This statement was made by Nanami Hiromachi, the former bassist of Aurora, who calls herself an ordinary student of Tsuki no Mori and is currently the bassist of the band Morfonica.

[Where's Aurora? The member list only includes Bai Ye and others, huh~]

Hikawa Hina, the former student council president of Haneda, a genius among geniuses, who loves observing people, and the guitarist of Pastel*Palettes, discovered the true nature of the aurora during a practice session.

These comments were like a brand, deeply engraved in Hailing's mind, becoming her most profound understanding of the aurora and the day nights.

【There are white nights before there are northern lights】

This is the conclusion that Hachiman Kailing came to after countless observations and reflections in the aurora.

Perhaps Bai Ye is the only one who doesn't know how important he is to the command.

Her thoughts were confirmed by electronic text from afar, which could only be seen by the entire Aurora team.

Those flashing electronic words are like the brightest signals in the night sky.

...

Aurora Band Rules (latest version, one new rule added):

1. You cannot actively reveal that you are a member of the Aurora band.

2. The “instructions” given must be followed.

3. During the performance, you must wear the prepared mask.

4. Violation of any of the above rules will result in expulsion from the Aurora Band and banning from the music industry.

5. Bai Ye can ignore all rules.

...

The order was finally to stop pretending, and she admitted defeat first.

The only thing missing is the words "Bai Ye, please don't quit Aurora" written on it.

Bai Ye looked at the electronic text that lit up in the distance, smiled bitterly, and a hint of helplessness and confusion flashed in his eyes.

He had expected a fierce counterattack from the order, and he had prepared himself mentally.

As a result, this is it?

The instructions seemed much softer than he had expected, like a child who only knew how to be harsh with words.

However, Bai Ye's plan would not change just because the order softened. He already had an answer in his mind. After everything was over, he would make a real break with the order.

"It's time to leave, everyone."

Bai Ye took the lead and walked towards the exit of the stage, and the other members of Aurora quickly followed behind him.

The five of them walked straight towards Shoko Toyokawa, who was half-kneeling on the ground with a sullen face and no one paid any attention to her.

The reason is simple: Xiangzi's location is the only way to leave the stage.

Surprisingly, at this moment, Shoko Toyokawa slowly stood up with her arms open.

Blocking the retreat of all Aurora people...

Chapter 144 Why Play Ave Mujica!?

On the stage, the lights flickered, as if trembling with anticipation for the coming conflict.

Shoko Toyokawa opened her arms to the Aurora crowd, lowered her head slightly, her eyes full of anger, like an enraged lioness, ready to pounce on her prey at any time.

There was a determination in her eyes, as if she wanted to pour out all her anger on the Aurora people.

"Staff, please draw the stage curtain."

Bai Ye raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, signaling the staff to take action.

He could probably guess that Toyokawa Shoko was about to do something inappropriate.

“Wow, wow—”

The stage curtain slowly descended from the top, making a slight sound, covering Bai Ye's shoulders and Xiangzi's head, until it completely covered the entire stage.

The falling curtain is like a barrier, separating the world inside and outside the stage.

“Why would you do such a thing!?”

When the curtain reached the bottom, Shoko Toyokawa spread her legs and shouted at the ground with all her might. Her voice was like thunder, shaking the entire stage.

She pointed at Bai Ye, her fingers trembling slightly, and continued with her head down.

"From the moment I declared war on you, you've been planning this in secret, Bai Ye..."

"You say you don't care, but you actually care the most, don't you?"

Shoko Toyokawa raised her head and looked directly at Bai Ye, but Bai Ye did not respond at all, just looked at her coldly.

Bai Ye's eyes were like an iceberg, unpredictable.

Not getting an answer, Xiangzi put his hands on his chest and continued shouting.

"you liar!!"

"Why are you taking everything away from me again? Ave Mujica was everything to me. Why?"

"Why?!"

Shoko Toyokawa's voice began to become hysterical, and her tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes, slid down her cheeks, and dripped onto the ground.

Her voice began to sound tearful, as if she was accusing fate of being unfair.

“Why are you playing Ave Mujica!?”

This sentence seemed to be her last cry, a question to Bai Ye and an expression of her unwillingness to give up.

Shoko Toyokawa looked around at the other Aurora members who had different expressions, her eyes filled with anger and confusion.

She gritted her teeth, as if suppressing her inner emotions, and then squeezed out a few words.

"Why have you been lying to me from the beginning!"

"Am I the only one who knows nothing?"

"Despicable, shameless, and despicable!"

At this time, Bai Ye finally slowly stretched out his right hand, as if to protect the four people behind him, and replied to Toyokawa Shoko indifferently: "This has nothing to do with them, it's all my fault."

"I knew it!" Toyokawa Shoko got a response. She rushed towards Bai Ye angrily, grabbing his collar tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to pour out all her anger on him.

"I knew it was you, you did everything!!"

"Today's performance was also your plan, right?!"

"Meow Meng took off the mask before because he colluded with you, right?"

"Everything is done to replace me..."

"Bai Ye, you're so disgusting! I hate you!!"

Shoko Toyokawa opened her mouth wide and shouted, her tears of grief and anger falling on Bai Ye's cheeks.

She wanted to say something else, but Bai Ye could no longer wait.

"Snapped--"

Bai Ye slapped away Toyokawa Shoko's hand that was grabbing his collar, then put on an extremely cold expression and said, "Is that all you have to say?"

His voice was like an iceberg, carrying a hint of majesty and irresistible power.

"what?!"

Shoko Toyokawa covered her painful hand, her eyes filled with shock and anger.

She wanted to rush up and question Bai Ye.

However, this time it was no longer as she wished.

"Stop being so willful, Xiangzi." Hailing held Toyokawa Xiangzi's hand tightly as she was about to reach out to Baiye again, and would not let her get any closer to Baiye.

Miao Meng raised two drumsticks like a gallows and held them around Toyokawa Shoko's neck. "Bai Yezi, I don't care about these calculations..."

"Xiangzi, you have brought this upon yourself..."

"If you go any further, I won't be polite, Xiangzi. Let me tell you first, hitting your head with a drumstick really hurts, meow~"

Miao Meng put the two drumsticks together as if to warn, making a threatening sound.

At this time, Chu Hua wanted to speak up to ease the situation, "Everyone..."

"Hailing, Miaomeng, please move aside."

Bai Ye asked Hai Ling and Miao Meng to let go of their stances and walked forward alone to face Toyokawa Shoko.

He lowered his head, met Xiangzi's eyes, and then spoke with an extremely cold tone.

"Planning, deception, substitution, collusion..."

"Ob, Ms., you seem to have some misunderstanding."

He in turn grabbed Toyokawa Shoko's collar and lifted her up slightly.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?!"

Shoko Toyokawa's eyes became more determined, and she roared at Bai Ye. There was a hint of hysteria in her voice, as if she was making her last struggle.

However, Bai Ye's next few words completely shattered her already limited self-esteem.

"You really are so high and mighty, Xiangzi."

"Ave Mujica, Oblivionis... Is that all you have?"

"I'll be frank, Ms. Ob is a string of letters..."
