Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

The voice became more and more torn, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.

"I am extremely..."

Mu was about to open his mouth to explain, but the words had just come out of his mouth.

A cold wind swept through the entire small room without warning.

The lights seemed to dim a little, and a strange smell filled the air. Ruo Yemu's body stiffened instinctively, and the words on his lips stopped abruptly.

Mortis: Mutsuko-chan, you've broken the rules. The instructions were to not reveal any information about Aurora.

[Mortis: You violated the rules, it's my turn to play]

The strange wind was still blowing, bringing a hint of coolness, rustling the curtains in the room and ruffling Toyokawa Shoko's hair.

Xiangzi's hair was flying in the air, some of it stuck to his face, and some of it was blown away by the wind, looking a little messy.

She subconsciously raised her hand to tidy her hair, and when her eyes focused on Ruoye Mu again, she clearly noticed something was wrong.

The tension and worry in Mu's eyes disappeared, replaced by a cynical ease, and a faint smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, Xiangzi. I said the wrong thing. Can you just pretend I didn't say it?"

Mortis Mu put on a joking expression towards Toyokawa Shoko, with the corners of his mouth raised and his shoulders shrugged slightly, trying to get away with it with this relaxed attitude.

Xiangzi's anger dissipated a little. She narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone, "Are you kidding me? Mu..."

"Yeah, it's a joke... But I promise, I won't disband Ave Mujica, and I won't quit Ave Mujica."

"Then please don't play such jokes on me again. I said you would entrust your life to me. Believe me, Mu..."

"Well, I always believed in you, Xiangzi."

Mortis Mu nodded affirmatively, with the smile on his lips still there, but when Xiangzi turned around.

Her eyes turned cold in an instant, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was full of calculation and disdain.

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at the time, looking slightly annoyed. "Mujica, it's almost time to get ready for the performance. Today is Ave Mujica's debut performance, and we absolutely can't fail."

Toyokawa Shoko stood at the door, looking back at Mu who was still in the room, and added firmly, word by word: "Mu, Ave Mujica is everything to me, please don't say such things casually anymore..."

After saying that, Xiangzi left without looking back.

Mu, who had just regained control of the operation, heard Xiangzi's speech that only Ave Mujica could speak. His pupils contracted violently, and his eyes completely lost their luster.

[Motis: See, Xiangzi doesn't care about you at all. She doesn't even know that you have changed. She only has Ave Mujica in her heart now. There is no place for you at all.]

Mortis's voice sounded again in Ruoye Mu's heart, with a hint of provocation, and as if stating the facts. Every word was like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into Ruoye Mu's heart.

Mortis: Mu, leave everything to me, so you won't suffer. I will help you protect Xiang.

The voice continued to bewitch her, with a strange magic that seemed to suck away all her sanity.

Mortis: Leave it all to me. I exist to absorb all your negative emotions.

Mortis spoke softly, as if he was telling his mission, or as if he was issuing a final invitation.

Ruoye Mu took a deep breath and tried to free himself from the pain and confusion.

Mortis was temporarily suppressed.

Mu lowered his eyes slightly to hide the complex emotions in his eyes, and walked towards the backstage step by step. Although his steps were a little heavy, they were extremely firm.

...

On the stage, the lighting has been adjusted to the best condition, the sound effects are also perfect, and every corner exudes the tense atmosphere of the upcoming performance.

Shoko Toyokawa stood on the side of the stage, scanning every detail of the stage. After confirming that everything was correct, she nodded slightly.

At this time, other members of Ave Mujica came over and gathered around her.

Shoko Toyokawa turned around and pointed at the five masked mannequins placed aside. Her expression was serious, almost cold, and her voice revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"Everyone, don't forget to wear your masks."

Miao Meng's gaze fell on the masks, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, but a mocking arc slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Is this an imitation of Aurora? Toyokawa Shoko doesn't really think the only difference between her band and Aurora is the masks.

【It's hilarious】

"Leave all the anxiety and regret here."

“Once you’re on stage, the only person you can trust is yourself.”

As Shoko Toyokawa spoke, she slowly and gracefully picked up the black lace mask and gently covered her face with it.

The mask instantly obscured most of her expression, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

Her eyes swept over everyone, and after a slight pause, she slowly spoke: "Just enjoy the performance. I won't say such high-sounding words."

"We are birds of a feather, after all."

After Xiangzi finished speaking...

Some members had a thoughtful look on their faces, with slightly furrowed brows; some had a cold expression, with no emotion in their eyes; and some had a playful smile on their lips, as if they were watching a good show.

[Hailing: You really can only trust yourself, Toyokawa Shoko]

[Meow Dream: She doesn't really think we're in cahoots with her, does she? Stupid]

Chu Hua: I'm finally on the same team with Xiangzi. I'm so happy.

【Mu: Xiang, what should I do?】

"let's start!"

She was the first to place her hands on her chest and close her eyes, as if feeling some kind of power. Seeing this, the other members followed suit.

After a moment, Xiangzi opened his eyes, his eyes full of determination. He was the first to move his hand to the middle, and the others followed suit, forming a perfect diagonal shape in an instant.

“Ave Mujica...”

Chapter 86 Ave Mujica in the Eyes of the Public

Miao Meng stood backstage, looking at the bright yet empty lights on the stage, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of her mouth.

The stage setting is extremely luxurious, the crimson curtain shines brightly under the lights, and all kinds of gorgeous props are placed in an orderly manner, as if telling the story of a grand feast.

However, in Miao Meng's eyes, all this is nothing but false decoration.

The childish lines uttered by the Ave Mujica members seemed so deliberate and artificial. Every movement was a stilted performance, completely devoid of true soul.

This is Miao Meng’s entire evaluation of the Ave Mujica drama performance.

It can be summed up as "pointless".

Shoko Toyokawa stood in front of everyone and gave code names to all Ave Mujica members, just like the Aurora.

Mortis Wakaba: Fearless of death.

Amoris Yutenji Wakamu: Fearless Love.

Timoris Yawata Kairin: Fearless of fear.

Oblivionis·Toyokawa Shoko: Fearless Oblivion.

Doloris Triangle Chuhua: Fearless sadness.

Even if you wear a mask, even if you are given a title, even if you imitate someone as closely as possible, you cannot cover up the essential difference.

A fake can never be the real thing, and an imitation can never surpass the original.

A puppet can only be a puppet, it cannot have its own soul and cannot transcend the invisible constraints.

Ave Mujica is far inferior to the Aurora Borealis

This is the conclusion Miao Meng came to after participating in the song performance.

Even though the members are basically similar, they lack the real core: Bai Ye.

This is the difference between keyboard players. The difference is so big that even a music idiot can clearly hear the difference.

That’s all for Ave Mujica’s music, although compared to other girl bands, it is indeed very strong.

But it is still too small in front of the aurora.

...

After the performance, backstage.

"Great, we're trending now."

Miao Meng sat on the sofa, holding a mobile phone in her hand, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

She scrolled the screen frantically, looking at the trending searches about Ave Mujica, a smug smile on her lips.

Related hot searches have already ranked at the top, which is obviously a good start.

Soon a hint of loss flashed in her eyes.

[It’s a pity that Aurora didn’t have a performance at the time, but it still dominated the hot searches for several days. It really can’t be compared.]

[However, to be able to achieve this level, this Toyokawa Shoko is quite impressive.]

"Thank you for your hard work..." Sanjiao Chuhua took out a water bottle and gently handed it to Wakaba Mu, who was about to have a nervous breakdown. Then he praised: "The people at the agency praised Mu's guitar."

"Is that so..." Mu replied silently and lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

At this time, the sound of the dressing room door closing was heard. Xiangzi, who had changed out of his performance clothes, came out and said to the other four people, "The staff has prepared a car. You two can go back together."

"Huh? Xiangzi has changed his clothes already? I wanted to take a picture." Miao Meng jumped up from the sofa with a slight complaint, with her hands on the sofa.

When Xiangzi heard that he wanted to take a photo, he immediately tilted his head and said to Miao Meng, "Miao Meng, don't forget your awareness as a member of the Masked Band."

"Xiangzi, where is the celebration party?" Miao Meng still wanted to keep Xiangzi.

As a result, the other party didn't listen at all and turned away.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Shoko Toyokawa left the backstage, and the remaining four people looked at each other in bewilderment.

After the footsteps outside Toyokawa Shoko's door completely faded away...

Hachiman Kailing stood up first, placed her hands on her chest, and asked everyone present: "So, what do you think?"

"What?" Chu Hua turned around and looked at Hai Ling, his eyes showing a hint of confusion, obviously still out of control.

"Xiangzi said that he wanted to use Ave Mujica to defeat Aurora." Hailing spread out her hands as she spoke, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Miao Meng listened to what Hachiman Kailing said, put her hand in front of her cat's mouth, chuckled, and her eyes were full of sarcasm.

She couldn't help but laugh, "How naive! Is this the eldest lady?"

Miao Meng took out her phone and scrolled through the screen. "After receiving the order, I spent some time looking up information. Toyokawa Shoko is the heiress to the Toyokawa Group, the real eldest daughter."

"It's normal for a young lady to be a little naive. After all, this is what happens when you haven't encountered a monster..."

[But why was Xiangzi dressed so poorly when we met before?]

[Maybe it’s the eldest lady’s special hobby]

"Ave Mujica can't win." Hailing shook her head and sighed, "So what are you going to do? There are no further instructions, so we can act freely."

Miao Meng smiled slightly and tilted her head to look at Hailing, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "What about you? Hailing...what are you planning to do next?"

"As for me, I plan to quit most of the part-time bands and only keep Aurora, Ave Mujica, and a few other bands."

"The aurora borealis alone is enough for me to live a luxurious life. Ave Mujica can be used as a place to make extra money and relax."

As Hachiman Kailing spoke, her eyebrows unconsciously raised, her mouth curved into a crescent shape, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.

As for their future destination, since they are not very familiar with each other, Hailing will not share it with them.

Chu Hua grabbed his left arm with his right hand, lowered his head and said weakly: "I don't have any plans. I'm very satisfied to be able to stay in Ave Mujica and Aurora."

Being in a band with Bai Ye and Xiang Zi...my dream has come true.

"Xiang, protect."

After Ruoye Mu finished speaking silently, she did not make any more noises. Her eyes were full of determination, as if telling herself that she must protect Xiangzi no matter what the cost.

Miao Meng showed a meaningful smile, and the corners of her mouth turned into the shape of a cat's mouth.

She murmured, "So that's how it is..."

[Haizi only cares about making money, Chuzi doesn't seem to have any desires, and Muzi only cares about Xiang]

Since no one values ​​this Ave Mujica, I'll completely squeeze out its value, meow~
