Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"Wait...did you say it the other way around?"

Su Shi frowned, she was a little confused. According to their agreement, shouldn't it be better for the current band to be as mediocre and insignificant as possible?

However, her doubts were quickly dispelled by Chihiro who was talking nonsense on the other end of the phone.

"Let me ask you, do you think Li Xi has a good temper?"

"Compared to you, it should be okay?"

"..."

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Su Shi smiled, but soon she stopped smiling. After all, Li Xi was still waiting for her outside.

"What I mean is that for a band, the success of the first LIVE is very important. Whether it is a good start or a start with some flaws, it will actually be beneficial to the band's future.

But what if the live performance was terrible?

"This……"

Su Shi's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Think about it, what's wrong with this band now? There's no keyboard, one of the two guitarists ran away and the other is a novice, and the bassist is even playing shoddily..."

"No, why did the bassist give up?"

"You're the bassist, so why don't you just play badly on purpose?"

"…Sorry, I was too anxious."

Su Shi stuck out her tongue, feeling that she seemed to have been too dependent on her external brain, Chihiro, recently, and had begun to gradually lose her amazing wisdom.

But if you think about it carefully, what Chihiro said is actually true.

She is not sure why Lenai left, but it is likely because she was very disappointed with the band.

As for the others... She trusts Aine very much. She thinks that Aine's level will definitely be severely bullied by Riki; and Xiaodeng is an even better hidden bomb.

Just when everyone thought there was no problem, the little light that had not revealed any problems went silent on the stage.

If Deng hadn't called Xiaoxiang over and reminded him that it was because of Xiangzi that he dared to sing out his heart, the first LIVE that day would have been a failure.

Forget about naming the band or getting any performance costumes. It’s already good enough that these five people don’t become RiNG’s joke.

It's a pity... there are only so many places where a bassist can cause trouble.

She could only reluctantly play it randomly during practice later. It was okay... In order to let everyone remember that Cyrchic was the authentic band, she was willing to make such a sacrifice.

As expected of Chihiro Tsuzuki... She had thought that cleaning up the mess she had left behind yesterday was already a difficult highlight.

But I didn't expect that in just one night, this terrible guy had already come up with more shameless bad ideas. This Chihiro really has nothing to do with the word morality.

——I only think about how to scheme against others.

Fortunately, it seems that Chihiro is very sincere to herself and has never lied to her, which actually makes Su Shi feel more or less touched.

"Thank you……"

"Thank me for what?"

On the other side, Chihiro, who was talking nonsense, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but she still shamelessly accepted Su Shi's thanks.

"It's okay, I know what to do. By the way...how about I switch places with you for a few days?"

"what do you mean?"

"Leave the band matters to me. I promise to give you a chaotic and chaotic makeshift troupe.

As for Yue Zhisen...you go to school in my place. After all, you haven't been back to school for a long time. You can also help me deal with Xiao Mu's ideological work.

I feel like she probably... still doesn't have any desire to get back together with her old friends to form a band."

"Su Shi? Why aren't you well yet? Are you sick?!"

Hearing Li Xi urging her outside, Su Shi hung up the phone without caring what Chihiro wanted to say, then pretended to flush the toilet and walked out of the bathroom.

The brown-haired girl who had washed her face was full of confidence.

As expected... it's so comfortable to log into my own account. She, Nagasaki Suyo, the legendary idea king of Tsuki no Mori, is back.

"Sushi, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Lixi. Don't you have something to tell me? What is it?"

"you……"

Shiina Riki suddenly felt that the girl in front of him seemed to have become a different person after just going to the bathroom.

And... he wasn't even in the bathroom just now? The noise was so loud, couldn't he be talking on the phone with someone?

Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I could still make out a few key words.

For example, words like "I am originally Su Shi!", "Let's switch positions", "The bassist is playing badly" are creepy to listen to.

Putting aside the above, the bassist...isn't it you?!

These words were spoken as if... this guy had a split personality, as if he jumped out of his body and was talking to another self.

and many more.

What if the other party didn’t call just now?

"Um, Su Shi." Li Xi glanced at the girl in front of him and asked tentatively, "Were you on the phone in the bathroom just now?"

"Call? No, who can I call?"

"..."

Oh no, Su Shi is really crazy!

Chapter 67: All of this is the fault of that hot woman! (2/2)

It turns out... the impact of that incident has not ended yet.

It turns out... Su Shi has never been able to forget the past. The person who is really sensitive is not Deng, but Nagasaki Su Shi in front of him.

Everything was explained.

Why can Su Shi write those lyrics, with the kind of rich emotional expression that only a lamp can produce?

Perhaps composing music can reach a good level through talent and hard work, but lyric writing... often has a very strong personal color.

Lyrics are like the other side of a person, they are everyone’s personality mask, the shape of their inner self.

Su Shi is never as nonchalant as she appears. Even though the girl always smiles and chats superficially with everyone about her daily life in a somewhat hypocritical voice.

But the sound of other people's clasps picks up the loneliness in their hearts, and produces wrinkles that represent scars.

The smile was just a protective color, because apart from using a smile to face the reality that things and people have changed, she had no other way to let go.

But...it's just a band, is it that serious?

Lixi really wanted to ask this. She really wanted to say that the band was not everything in her life, so why should she force herself to this point because of such a small matter.

But she felt she had no right to say that.

Because Lixi herself is a person who, because of that ridiculous sense of inferiority, time and again does things that alienate others and hurt others and herself. She... is also a person who knows that many things and many ideas are wrong, but cannot control her inner heart.

Of course, at present this is just a bold guess of Li Xi. To be honest, although this guess matches many aspects of reality, it lacks substantial evidence.

After all, this idea is really too outrageous. She has only seen things like split personality in movies, TV series, animations, etc. In reality... it doesn't seem to be common.

However, the fact that it is rarely seen does not mean that it is artistic processing. Split personality is not a science fiction term, but a real mental illness.

"Um, um... Lixi, what did you mean by me calling?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I was just asking. I thought you were spending so much time in the bathroom because you were talking on the phone with a friend, like that Jing Qinrencai from yesterday."

Li Xi's eyes narrowed. She noticed that Su Shi seemed really nervous when he spoke just now.

Are you deliberately concealing it?

I heard that in cases of split personality, the main personality is usually unaware of the existence of the secondary personality, but the secondary personality may be aware of the existence of the main personality.

However, Lixi didn't know much about this, so she needed to find more substantial evidence.

"Lixi, don't you want to talk to me about something?"

"Oh, that one."

Li Xi thought about it and felt that being too direct might not be a good idea as it might irritate the other party. So he simply stopped worrying about these issues and asked based on his original idea:

"Actually, it's like this, I..."

Having said that, Lixi paused. She gave up her original plan of apologizing for what happened before. After all, this would remind Su Shi of the pressure that she shouldn't have to bear.

"I'm very hesitant right now. You actually saw the state of the lights yesterday, and although everyone is glad you're back, overall everyone seems a little hesitant.

Aine's ability is obviously not enough to perform, Rakuna is not coming, and Deng is still afraid that everything will end after the LIVE.

So I was thinking...why don't we just stop and wait until everyone is ready before we think about the LIVE?"

“I don’t think this is the best approach.”

"Eh?"

Li Xi was stunned for a moment. She thought Su Shi would agree with her idea, although she didn't really want Su Shi to agree with it in her heart.

"The band needs a goal, and everyone who is lost needs a direction to strive for."

Nagasaki Suyo had a military advisor offer advice, and he spoke with such confidence, "You spend your whole life in the practice room, so naturally you don't have to face crises, and you don't have to face audiences who might pour cold water on you.

But will we really continue to drift aimlessly like this? Honestly, this will only cause the band to fall apart without words.

Someone told me that a rock band is a stage for everyone, and every band member is releasing his or her emotions to the fullest through music.

This kind of release is the collision of differences between people, and then reaching resonance in the collision, and this is rock and roll."

"..."

Li Xi looked at the girl beside her somewhat strangely. She always felt that these words were not spoken by the more timid of the two personalities, but rather by the personality that seemed to yearn for a new life more.

If you break it down carefully, Li Xi feels that the current world can be divided into two, one called the Yang form and the other called the Yin form.

Yang-type people are more positive and optimistic. Although they are also sensitive, they can adjust themselves quickly and are more reliable overall.

For example, in the days after she made Aiyin run away, Yang Sushi gave her such a trustworthy and reliable person.

She can tolerate other people's problems and recognize her own shortcomings.

The other negative form, Su Shi, is more fragile and sensitive. Although he looks not much different from the former on the surface, that smile can easily freeze.

The one who came to her alone on the first day and said "bad things" about Aine, asking her and Deng to stay away from Aine and who was afraid of all unknown factors should be Yin Sushi.

Afterwards, it was Su Shi who knew that Deng didn't want to go on stage and immediately backed off. Then, it was she who made Su Shi stammer and finally accept the disbanding of the band in silence after hearing a few words from her.

"So, Sushi, you hope that everyone can work together to get a chance to go live, right?"

Looking at Su Shi who seemed to have switched to the yang form in front of him, Li Xi was not afraid of the "split personality" thing at all. Instead, he felt that Xiangzi, who had quit crychic for no reason, was really the culprit of everything.

She hated this irresponsible eldest daughter mentality.

You were the one who took the lead in forming the band, and everyone had already joined in. But you left without any explanation. What do you regard as the laughter and joy we had in the past?

You, Shoko Toyokawa... have you ever really cared about what others think?

In addition, Su Shi knew that she might have to leave Japan forever and go to a strange country. All her memories would no longer have any meaning. In this devastating situation, she created a strong and false self to protect her cowardice...

Too reasonable.

Lixi felt that she already had the answer. She knew how many helpless tragedies had occurred during this period of time surrounding the existence of Cyrchic and Toyokawa Shoko.

"Su Shi...Actually, you don't have to force it."

"I'm not forcing myself." Su Shi had no idea that Li Xi was so full of thoughts. She was just following the advice of her military advisor Qianxun and continued to walk her path firmly. "I hope the LIVE will be as soon as possible. It can't be put off any longer."

"Okay, I see."

Yes, it can’t be delayed any longer.

For Su Shi, who may not be able to continue creating memories with Neon and everyone in the future, every minute and every second of this moment should not be wasted!

The journey to RiNG is like heading to an ancient battlefield where a battle was lost in the past.
