I was the one who was causing the collapse of the iron.

The show hasn't started yet, but the atmosphere has clearly been set, with people excitedly discussing the star lineup that will be performing tonight and which big names and celebrities will be among them.

Behind the scenes of the concert, the atmosphere was even more tense and busy, with countless uniformed staff members walking back and forth, making final adjustments.

"Lights! Sound! The broadcast is all ready!"

"Where's the host? Get ready to go on stage and announce the show!"

"The first performance is a group dance. Are all the actors in place? Check your costumes one last time!"

The continuous shouting and hurried footsteps would make people anxious and nervous even if they were just in this hall.

However, in such an environment, in the corner of such a noisy hall, a red-haired girl was sitting alone.

She slowly shook the wine glass in her hand and looked down at the bright red liquid in the glass. Her leisurely posture was particularly out of place with the tense and chaotic situation around her.

Soon, accompanied by cheers and music from outside, the woman raised her head, her golden eyes slightly drunk.

"Has the show... started yet?"

She said this to herself, and then drank the red wine in the glass.

"Oh my God, my Miss Eden, my little ancestor, you are about to go on stage and you are still drinking here!"

An anxious-looking middle-aged woman walked into the backstage and immediately saw the red-haired woman sitting leisurely in the corner.

She trotted over and started complaining to the other person.

"Don't worry, there are still at least two hours before I go on stage. The show has just begun. There is no need to be anxious."

The red-haired woman called Eden shook her wine glass and smiled sweetly. Her pretty face, which was slightly flushed due to being slightly drunk, was extremely beautiful.

"How can I not be anxious? Do you know how long you've been banned? Do you know how rare this performance opportunity is? This is your only chance to turn things around. You only have one chance to sing one song! If there's no impact after singing, your acting career will really be over! You even drank before the performance. How are you going to stay in the best condition later? You, you, you really want to piss me off to death, don't you!"

As Eden's agent, she was extremely worried during the period when the other party was banned.

She had finally secured an opportunity to perform at Tianlai's charity show, but the other party still acted so casually. How could she not be angry?

"Hey, don't worry. I'm in my best condition after drinking a little. Don't worry, I cherish the opportunity to perform tonight more than you do."

Seeing that his agent was about to explode, Eden put down his wine glass and tried to persuade him in a low voice.

"Forget it. Anyway, you're going to be on stage soon, so get ready. Do you want to touch up your makeup, listen to the song a few more times, and read the lyrics again?"

"I know, I know. Don't worry. I have memorized this song by heart."

Looking at her agent who was even more nervous than herself, Eden found it a little funny. If someone didn't know better, they would think she would be the one going on stage.

"Wow! It's so lively, is this a concert?!"

Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere on the scene, Alicia seemed a little excited.

The girls waved their glow sticks and enjoyed the feast to their heart's content.

The two were in the VIP area, very close to the stage, and there weren't many people around them.

But the atmosphere was not bad at all. Compared with the several fanatical fans around her, Alicia was considered to be relatively reserved.

"The next singer to appear is Miss Eden."

When the announcer's voice sounded, the atmosphere on the scene stagnated for a moment, because many people had never heard of Eden's name.

However, there were little-known singers who performed on the stage before, so most of the audience didn’t care much.

However, as soon as Eden opened his mouth, he immediately captured the ears of the entire audience.

"This sister's voice is very unique and her songs are beautiful."

"Why, are you attracted to her again? Indeed, this Miss Eden has a good appearance and temperament. How about inviting her back and letting her sing for you every day?"

"Oh, what do you mean by liking someone? Forget about Mobius, but why are you making such a weird joke, Master? And what do you mean by please come back? Are we some evil force?"

"Actually, it can be considered as such. Hiding behind the heavy curtains, manipulating and influencing the direction of the world, if this isn't a dark and evil force, then what is it?"

"Sister Mobius, do you know that you ruin our reputation by doing this every day?"

Alicia held her forehead with her hand. In her heart, the image of the Fire Moth was still quite positive, and it was doing great things to fight against disasters and protect human civilization.

"If I must say, your sister Mei is the one with the biggest problem. She is known as the evil scientist."

"She will complain to Sister Mei when she gets home. You're done. She hates it most when others dictate her scientific research."

Looking up, Alicia said these words in a cute tone, and then the girl listened to the song attentively.

Complain? Add fuel to the fire, so that you can give Mobius a good push?

This girl's little tricks were not the first or second time, and Mebius fell for it every time.

Of course, the main reason why Mebius was fooled was because she was inexperienced, loved to play, and refused to admit defeat.

Thinking of this, Xu Nuo closed his eyes and reveled in Eden's singing.

Although he was joking before, he really felt that Eden's singing was amazing.

Or... take her back and let her sing for you?

After all, I have been walking on thin ice since I came to this planet. It’s time to enjoy myself.

Chapter 285 Assassination

When the song ended, the audience was stunned for a long time, until Eden bowed and took his bow, then thunderous applause broke out.

"Encore! Encore! Encore!"

Then cheers rang out, leaving Eden, who was about to step down, standing there awkwardly.

The audience's enthusiasm is so high, it would be bad to just let it go like this. However, she only has time for one song according to the performance schedule, so the specific procedure depends on the organizer.

Eden stayed on the stage for a moment, then noticed a pair of eyes falling on him.

It is difficult to describe the feeling at that moment. It was like being awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, but after opening my eyes, I had forgotten what had made me so frightened and terrified. All that was left was endless panic and fear.

In other words, Eden's psychological quality was good enough, and that feeling was fleeting, so he did not lose his composure on the spot.

But even so, the woman still felt cold hands and feet and her heartbeat quickened.

Her eyes were a little dazed and blank, and she subconsciously looked at the audience below the stage, and then her gaze was fixed on a man.

He was a man who looked young and somewhat immature. He had a well-proportioned body, was a little thin, and had a face as white as jade. The whiteness of the face was a little strange and morbid.

The other person looked at him with a smile on his face, clapping and nodding slightly.

He looked like an ordinary audience member, but Eden was sure that the man who had just made him feel frightened was this gentle and clean-looking man.

She didn't want to stay on the stage anymore. She just wanted to get off quickly and get away from this weird man.

And right now...

boom!

A dull gunshot rang out, and a bullet passed over Eden on the stage and hit Xu Nuo's forehead accurately.

The man staggered and a handful of blood burst out on his forehead. The pink-haired girl beside him screamed and supported his body, preventing him from falling directly to the ground.

But none of this matters now. The sniper rifle shot him in the head without a doubt and the man is dead.

What’s going on? What happened? Is the sniper’s target my sister or that man?

But, I am just a banned singer, how could someone want to assassinate me in this way?

The company that I originally signed with probably didn't have such exaggerated means.

So...is that man the murderer's target?

Screams rang out one after another, and the crowd began to push and run in panic. Eden, whose legs were already weak, fell to his knees on the stage and was unable to stand up for a long time.

Behind the stage, on the rooftop of a building more than ten stories high, a man in a pitch-black uniform put down the smoke-filled sniper rifle in his hand.

"Report, the target has been hit, the bullet hits right between the eyebrows, the target has fallen down now, no special reaction at the moment, please give instructions."

The man reported the situation in a cold tone, and after waiting for a moment, a response came from the headset.

"Are you sure the target is dead?"

"It is impossible to confirm..."

The last word "ding" could not be uttered, and the sniper's eyes widened in disbelief.

Because an arrow came flying towards his face from the stage below at an incredible speed.

Just as the thought of dodging flashed through his mind, the feather arrow pierced his left eye. The huge kinetic energy drove his body backwards and pinned him to the rooftop.

"Hey, what happened? Report the situation, hello?"

"This is number 5. Number 3 is dead. It was the pink woman."

"Release the seventh generation test subject, and the rest of you retreat immediately. Don't leave any evidence behind."

"Yes!"

The communication ended, and then the men in black who were hiding in the surroundings left one after another. On the rooftop of the building, the man in black who served as a sniper assistant quickly carried the body of his companion and then evacuated from the rooftop.

Less than a minute after these people disappeared, a shrill roar of beasts was heard.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't scare me, Master. This thing shouldn't have any lethality to you, right?"

The audience seats in front of the stage were in chaos, and Xu Nuo and Alicia were the only two people left in the VIP area.

After completing the counterattack against the sniper on the rooftop, Alicia looked at Xu Nuo who was lying in her arms with concern.

There was a large stain of blood on the man's face, which looked a little scary, but Alicia didn't think that he would die so easily.

"Then I have to pretend a little. I'm shot in the head, so how can I stay still and jump around?"

Xu Nuo was still lying in the girl's arms without moving, and when she heard the man speak, Alicia breathed a sigh of relief.

I knew that the other party would not get into trouble easily, but the scene just now did look scary.

"So...why would someone assassinate us, or assassinate you?"

Alicia seemed a little confused. Neither herself nor Xu Nuo were the kind of people who liked to show up in public.

If someone wanted to assassinate Mebius, that would make sense, but assassinating Xu Nuo seemed a little off.

"Who knows, maybe he wants to see what cards Mebius has in his hand?"

Alicia was also a smart person. After being promised this, she immediately understood.

Not many people know about Xu Nuo's strangeness, but there must be some people within the Fire Moth who know about it.

And now, some people couldn't help it and wanted to see whether this man was just bragging or really possessed some incredible power.

"Someone within the organization...can't sit still anymore."

Alicia sighed and looked a little sad. Everyone was working together for the fate of all mankind, but why would someone be so selfish?

"Now is not the time to lament about this kind of thing. It is normal for such a large organization to have internal worms. There is no need to make a fuss."

"Yes, we have to organize the evacuation of the audience, otherwise..."

As soon as Alicia finished speaking, a loud noise came from the stage.

The dome of the entire stage collapsed with a loud bang, and a shrill roar was heard amid the sparks, explosions, and shattered fragments.

The expression on Alicia's face suddenly became serious. She was wearing an instrument that could detect the concentration of Honkai energy, and now the instrument was issuing a sharp alarm.

On the stage, the ignored Eden raised her head with a wooden expression. The sudden change and great fear made her mind go blank.

Not to mention that the woman's legs were weak and she couldn't move. Even if she was not affected, it would be difficult for her to run out of the stage if she started running now.

Am I...going to die?

This thought flashed through the woman's mind, and then she saw blood-red branches breaking out of the ground in front of her and beginning to grow.

The branches formed a cage, wrapping her up inside and isolating her from the flames of the explosion and the falling metal fragments.

"I'm so sorry, you weren't frightened, were you, Miss Eden?"

When everything calmed down, a gentle voice sounded and Eden looked up. The intertwined branches formed a web, casting a shadow on her face.

Through this broken picture, she saw the man who had been shot in the head by a sniper rifle not long ago, standing in front of her with a smile on his face.

There was blood on his face, making him look weird and scary.
