Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

"Hey, hey! This is really fun! I'll come too! Do you mind having an extra guitar?"

"Ah! Hinata-chan!"

After a long time of noise, it was almost time to go to bed, and everyone dispersed. Only the four people who started were left in the venue.

"Haa~" Kasumi fell on the sofa, feeling contented.

Yazi rubbed her wrist. She was so tired from playing, and MASKING had started competing with her without her noticing, so she had to use all her strength.

"Satisfied~" Shiko and Kasumi formed a cross.

"Oh, yes." Yusaki's face flushed, with a rare frank smile on his face.

However, she quickly realized: "That's not right, I completely forgot the original purpose!"

ps: If anyone goes to group r live tonight, can you please call my ID? qwq

Chapter 17: Hina is watching you

Hualian, Duohui, and Layer were walking together on the way back to the dormitory area. Hualian was walking half a step ahead, and behind her to the right, Layer and Duohui were walking side by side.

Hua Lian's excitement has not yet subsided: "Oh, I was a little nervous at the beginning, but I soon adapted to it. The band's live performance is indeed as dazzling as the stage..."

"Seriously, does Xiao Hualian want to learn a musical instrument?" LAYER asked.

"I really want to learn..." Hua Lian glanced at the two people on the right, "But what should I learn...Layer sister, are you learning the bass for Xiao Duohui?"

"I'm actually the same age as you..." LAYER said "uh" secretly, "Well, yes, I started playing bass just to form a band with Xiaohua."

"We can play together in the future." Duohui and Layer smiled at each other, "Although I already have a band..."

"Since we live together, it's okay to do a part-time job occasionally." LAYER didn't give up, "I'll ask CHU to see if he can let you come in, either as a lead guitarist or a rhythm guitarist."

Duohui thought for a moment and said, "If it's possible...of course I have no problem with that."

Earlier, Karen was already lost in fantasy: "I'm learning bass, Hikaru is a guitarist, and then Mahiru knows piano and can be the keyboard player... um~" She waved her hands in the air and unknowingly took a few dance steps.

Duohui suddenly interrupted: "Actually, Hualian can also learn guitar. I still think guitar is more suitable."

Hua Lian turned around: "Huh? Why?"

"Intuition." Duohui said calmly, "Besides, it would be better to take a Random Star like Kasumi."

"Random Star?" Hua Lian asked.

"It's a red guitar. Like a star."

"Xingxing!" Karen's eyes sparkled like Kasumi's, "Can you tell me more about it?"

As they were talking, they had already entered the dormitory area and passed by the door of one room after another.

There was a room with a sign that read "Glacier". Behind the door, Ricai was leaning against the door, seeming to be thinking about something.

From deep in the room, there came a slightly anxious sound of guitar.

"Sure enough, playing together with others makes it special." Hina didn't know who she was talking to.

The guitar stopped.

Sayo's voice came out: "You guys are live again?"

"No," Hina replied, "It was just a spur of the moment thing."

"I see." Saya did not continue playing the piano, "Speaking of which, since you came here on your own initiative, what about Paspale?"

Hina stood up, walked inside, and hooked up with the girl who looked similar to her and was holding a guitar by the bed. "I don't know. Maybe they have found a new guitarist."

Sayo glanced at Hina who was always clinging to her and frowned, "Don't hug others all the time."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Hina quickly let go, as if she was hurt.

Saya smiled softly: "It's up to you." As she said that, the guitar in her hand regained its spirit.

Hina then cheered and laid on Sayo's lap.

"Aren't you sad?" Saya continued the previous topic.

Hina continued to curl up: "Yeah, sad." Saya seemed to have telepathy and really felt the nostalgia and reluctance in Hina's heart, as well as the pain of taking the initiative to cut off this relationship.

"But it would be great if my sister could belong to me again."

Sayo didn't move, nor did she answer.

After a while, Hina looked up, her eyes brightening again: "Ah, she's out of my sight."

"Who?" Saya asked warily.

"Shiko-chan," Hina replied with a smile, "Kasumi-chan heard it. She seems to be the only one who can threaten me."

"?" Saya didn't understand at all. However, she seemed to smell the danger.

"What do you want to do to her?"

Hinata glanced at her sister and said, "Are you concerned about her, sister? Don't worry, I'm just a little curious about what she will do."

"After all, it's just her inner voice, and I can't hear it at all."

Shizi was walking on the road alone. The lights from all directions made her lose her shadow, leaving only a little under her feet.

Not long ago, after being taught a lesson by Arisaki, they finally spent some time to prepare for the experiment again. Now they have sealed the room and will wait until tomorrow morning to check the situation. It is getting late, so everyone disperses and prepares to go to bed.

That's how it should be.

Shizi closed the door and made sure there were no peeping eyes before he felt relieved.

When they were playing around before, she had made sure that the others did not know about Sayo's existence through indirect means. All the memories about Sayo were replaced by Hina, and for those that could not be fooled, Hina would guide them not to think about them.

Shizi walked into the bathroom and started to fill the bathtub with hot water: "To be honest, it's scary to be stared at by a bunch of green eyes. Hina, can you please let me go?"

Of course no one responded.

Shizi chuckled. Although there was no direct evidence and Giraffe didn't give any guarantees, she was sure that Hina's ability should be completely ineffective against her now.

Hina has been monitoring herself through other people's eyes. If she could hear her own thoughts, she wouldn't have to resort to such an inefficient method. Of course, she might be pretending to let herself down. However, this is actually a manifestation of her being on guard against herself. Why is she on guard? Because she is an uncertain factor to her. This also proves from another perspective that the other party cannot read her mind.

After finishing his shower with homemade soap and soaking in the warm bathtub, the steam filled the small room. Shizi took out two jade slips and wiped off the mist on them.

"Well, let's do the second experiment."

Although Shizi didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that Hina was right to be on guard against her.

The jade slips in his hands were one green with a few strands of gold, and the other was colorful, like chaos.

"(Fortunately, I had asked PAREO to make a bunch of virtual personalities in advance in order to prepare for various situations. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain if I had to ask PAREO for them now.)" She clamped the colorful virtual personality between her knees, took out a blank jade slip, and put it together with the cyan-gold one to prevent it from being consumed at any time.

"Hmm... let me see..." Shizi put the jade slip on his forehead. This jade slip was secretly copied from Hina. Hina was not worried about it: "Even if you copy it, you can only achieve the most basic telepathy." She said before.

However, Shizi had never expected to be as talented as Hina in this area.

All she needed was the same perspective as Hinata. Only by knowing the world from the other's perspective could she plan accordingly.

A faint golden light radiated from Shizi's eyes. In her eyes, the world was not turned upside down, but the jade slip on her knees had changed a little. The jade slip was still a jade slip, but the colors in it seemed to have life and were constantly moving.

However, there was a sense of emptiness. Because this virtual personality was not activated, it was not thinking about anything. Shizi tried to control it a little: "Hello world."

"Hello world." She really saw that this personality had an idea, not through words, but through an indescribable feeling. Moreover, at that moment, the combination of these colors was indeed much more vivid.

And behind this personality, she also passed through layers of walls and saw some chaotic and wild colors on the distant ground, just like the perspective obtained by entering the wall after turning on the observer mode in MC.

Compared to this one here, the colors in the distance seem simple and primitive, and can be distinguished at a glance, and there is no idea at all. I don’t know if they have no ideas or they can’t do it. "(Is that... a monster? Do those monsters also have such a shallow personality?)" Shizi guessed. This can explain how Hina led others to cross the mountains and rivers before.

“(So, next…)” She withdrew her gaze and looked in another direction.

Then she smiled with satisfaction.

Chapter 18 Then, You Are My Enemy

In her eyes, the soul projections of the other people on the airship appeared - and, through an inexplicable feeling, she could know their respective identities.

Those projections looked almost exactly like his own virtual personality and could not be distinguished at all.

Ichiri was right next door, and in the other direction was Kita... Shizi looked around and saw that everyone was now staying in their own rooms.

There were two people in Sayo's room. In order not to alert the enemy, she did not pay too much attention to them. Instead, she took out a small mirror, wiped off the mist on it, and looked at herself. In the mirror, she could see that her face was covered with a dull color that was impossible to touch.

"(Sure enough, my mind is now protected by the giraffe.)" Shizi nodded, "(Hiss...is this considered a golden finger?)" She turned to other people.

"(Let me see, Yili, what are you thinking about...)" Yili seemed to have just laid down on the bed, with a lot of thoughts. Shizi's spirit slightly touched it.

The next moment, she quickly looked away.

The sudden sense of crisis made her afraid to act rashly. If she hadn't been soaking in the bathtub, Shizi felt that she would have broken out in a cold sweat.

"I always feel like... if I really look at it, I'll be captured by some mysterious celestial body..."

Similarly, she didn't dare to go see Xiduo.

"How did Hina do it?" Shizi thought about this question while looking for a suitable person. Although listening to other people's thoughts may violate privacy, it is necessary to do it. After all, the more information the better. She looked around and finally landed on Karen.

The other person has fallen asleep, but the subconscious is still active, producing some inexplicable thoughts.

Shizi hesitated for a moment and tried to make contact.

Hinata looked in Shiko's direction with interest.

Although we can't hear her inner voice, the bunch of virtual personalities she has hidden away are no secrets to Hina.

In Rinna's hand, she was playing with a colorful jade slip.

She placed the jade slip on the bedside table and lay back down. Beside her, Sayo showed some reaction to the vibrations.

"Sister, are you still unable to sleep?" Hinata's breath blew onto Sayo's earlobe. "When was the last time we slept together?"

Sayo closed her eyes: "How can I sleep when I have just been imprisoned?"

Hina, who had looked sick in front of Shizi, now showed a hint of helplessness.

"I'm sorry, sis." She put her hand just below Sayo's neck, "But I don't want to lose you again."

Sayo, as before, did not answer.

The next day, when Hina woke up, she found that Sayo was still sleeping soundly. She smiled softly, kissed her forehead lightly, and rolled out of bed quietly.

My sister must have fallen asleep very late. Don't wake her up, go quietly and bring her breakfast.

Hinata brushed her teeth and washed her face silently, then walked out the door in her slippers and pajamas.

She began to hum the melody unconsciously. After coming here, she finally got rid of her previous semi-primitive life and returned to an environment close to modern society. Although she and Shizi were pretending to be each other now, she was still very grateful to Shizi and others in her heart.

"Oh? It's Hinata-san." The sound of wooden fish and masking came towards her. When she saw Hinata, her expression relaxed a lot. "Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Good morning~little MASKING~"

In Saya's room, Saya's eyelashes moved slightly, but her eyes were still closed.

She was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. Normally, she would pass through this period quickly, then open her eyes and start her orderly schedule for the day.

However, at this moment, she was forcibly dragged into the dream.

She seemed to see a person in front of her, but she couldn't see her face clearly.

"Saya, are you willing to live like this?" The person in front of her seemed to speak. Saya couldn't tell who the voice belonged to, but she felt familiar. "Who are you?" she asked.

"I am the center of the world, the destined heroine." The visitor was not serious at all.

Sayo then shook her head: "Then I refuse to answer."

“Wow… All right, I am the center of the world, the destined heroine, Tianhe Tongxuan Fumo Dadaojun——Xiao Shizidesu~”

"Why is it getting longer and longer..." Even in her dream, Sayo couldn't help but complain, "Did you copy Hinata's ability? If you talk to me now, you will definitely be discovered."

"Don't worry," Shizi said, "the mountain man has a clever plan."

Sayo was silent for a while, as if trying to make a decision. Finally, she made up her mind: "Student Wu, can you help me?"

"That's why I came here." Shizi's tone seemed to be smiling, "Saya, do you want to get out of this predicament?"

Her tone seemed to be tempting: "Do you want to go back to your previous life? Do you want to take back the past that has been tampered with? Do you want to take back the relationships that have been replaced?"

"Then give the order quickly, give the order to me, Sayo, I will kill them all without hesitation or regret, because I am a monster. So, what do you think?" Shizi's tone became more and more cheerful, "I will lift the gun, aim, load the bullets into the magazine, push them into the chamber, and release the safety."

"However, the power of life and death depends on your killing intention."

Shiko looked at Sayo expectantly, "So, what should we do? Give the orders, Sayo Hikawa!"
