People in Cyber, using skin to create legends

The reason is plausible, but it is not enough.

Looking at the girl in front of her who was as uneasy as a little animal, Lydia asked again:

"Did your agent tell you what kind of place this is?"

"Eh?" The girl was a little stunned, her eyes revealed a little confusion: "...This is...not just an ordinary bar?"

"Ah."

Lydia couldn't help laughing.

A regular bar?

Indeed, that is what it looks like on the surface, but this is also District 22’s largest…romantic venue.

Simply put, this is the place where men and women do that kind of thing. As long as you have money, you can find any 'companion' who can satisfy all your desires, whether it is a man or a woman.

Lydia smiled and told the girl in front of her the truth about the bar.

The expression of the girl in front of him gradually changed from confusion to astonishment, and finally to horror:

"I, I, I...I don't know at all...I..."

She was scared, Lydia could see.

Because Lydia could also see that the little girl in front of her was still a virgin.

In a place like the City of Chaos, he can still maintain his body intact. It has to be said that this is extremely incredible.

And for someone with such unimaginable talent and such a pure body, it was her first time that she was able to be sold at a sky-high price in a place like this.

In fact, if Lydia didn't admire the girl in front of her very much, she would probably have temporarily detained the girl and negotiated with Rainbow Entertainment.

Because when the girl stepped down from the stage just now, many important people asked her to accompany them tonight, and the price they offered was so good that even Lydia was tempted.

If Lydia was not also interested in the girl, and she was definitely not a girl under his command, the girl in front of him would probably have been packed up and thrown into the big shot's bed.

Looking at the frightened and weak girl in front of her, Lydia smiled slightly. She stepped forward, hugged the girl's shoulders, and comforted her:

"Don't worry. With me here, no one dares to force you. It seems that your agent behind you has her own little thoughts. She probably wants you to experience the cruelty of the entertainment industry in advance."

"…the cruelty of the entertainment industry?"

"Of course, you may not know this, but among those people watching the show, there are many bosses of large companies. If you can be noticed by these people and get their support, your future career in the entertainment industry will be smooth sailing."

Lydia said so.

The girl shook her head like a rattle: "I...I don't want to do this! At the beginning...we clearly agreed on this..."

"You are so naive, sister."

Lydia said to the girl like a close sister: "I really don't know how you survive in this city. Didn't anyone tell you that you can't just trust what others say in this city?"

"But...Mr. Chris..."

Mr. Chris?

Lydia had never heard of this name, but she didn't care.

The entertainment company not only has many artists, but also many agents. Maybe some unknown agent wanted to make a comeback with the girl in front of him, so he let the girl come here.

Gently grasping the girl's shoulders from behind, Lydia continued:

"Don't believe what those men say. Their mouths are the best at lying. If you believe me, I can find you a trustworthy agent and company, and... I won't let you do anything you don't want to do."

"Really...really?"

The girl still couldn't believe it, as if she didn't believe that such a good thing would happen to her.

So Lydia also told the reason why she was looking for a girl:

"Of course it's true. After all, you sing so beautifully. If your voice is ruined because of those disgusting things, it would be the biggest sin in the world. Believe me, I have always been serious about music."

Lydia likes listening to songs because her deceased father was a singer.

Whenever she is sad, angry or upset, she will listen to her favorite songs to relax herself. Songs have become a means for her to escape reality.

Although she had learned to sing, it had to be said that this kind of thing required talent, and Lydia did not have that talent.

In addition, she has too many things to deal with in her daily life, so she has no time to learn music, so she will give enough respect and protection to everyone with a beautiful singing voice.

Because people always get tired of listening to old songs, and as long as these singers are alive, she can hear more new songs.

So what Lydia said to the girl were not all lies, she really wanted to protect the girl in this regard.

If the girl loses confidence in singing because of these disgusting things, that would be the biggest loss in the City of Chaos, at least for Lydia.

"I... understand... Lady Lydia..."

Although the girl was still a little confused, it was obvious that she had some trust in Lydia.

Lydia smiled and left her, standing a little further away from her, and said:

"Actually, if you don't mind, you can call me sister, little girl."

"Okay, Sister Lydia..."

The girl responded shyly, and this innocence made Lydia happier.

Chapter 44: Minding Other People's Business

In the restaurant, Cowboy and Molly sat opposite each other, discussing each other's mission progress.

The cowboys have found a place to ambush and have successfully contacted Jim. All they have to do now is wait until the time comes to conduct the transaction.

As for Molly...

"Lydia has taken the bait."

Molly said slowly while drinking hot coffee.

The cowboy showed appropriate surprise: "So soon?! That poisonous spider has very pointy ears. Ordinary singers are not worthy of her attention!"

“So this proves that I’m not just any singer.”

Molly chuckled, looking quite confident.

The cowboy was still a little skeptical about this.

He had heard Molly sing, but at that time Molly was only using the skin of the band's lead singer, so he had never seen what Molly looked like when she sang using the Genius Idol, and he was serious about his doubts about this.

In order to dispel the cowboy's suspicion, Molly placed a card on the table.

"…This is?"

"A temporary pass to Lydia's apartment."

"puff--!"

The cowboy, who was drinking his coffee, nearly choked.

He hurriedly wiped the coffee that spurted out of his mouth, then raised his head and asked Molly in shock:

"how did you do it?!"

"With my singing voice, of course."

Molly said with a smile.

Lydia's love for music exceeded Molly's expectations. She didn't expect that just showing a little bit of the abilities of a talented idol could attract so much attention from Lydia.

To be honest, Lydia's attention was so enthusiastic that it made Molly a little scared, but thanks to this, Molly got the privilege of visiting Lydia's home.

This temporary access card is the pass given by Lydia herself.

"...I don't think you should be a mercenary. You can probably make more money in the entertainment industry than you can as a mercenary."

After learning the whole story, the cowboy couldn't help but complain.

If you have this ability, why do you want to be a mercenary? It's dangerous and you can easily make enemies that you shouldn't.

Compared to this, it would be better to just choose an entertainment company and sign a contract to become an artist. Not only can you display your talents, but you can also earn more money than a mercenary. Isn't this a good deal?

The cowboy couldn't figure out what Molly was thinking.

Molly took the pass back and said:

“And then let me lose my freedom and become a puppet manipulated by capital?”

"To be honest, you became a mercenary and were manipulated by capital, right?"

"But at least now I have the right to choose."

Molly said so.

Don’t be fooled by the glamorous appearance of celebrities. Anyone who knows a little about the industry insider information knows very well what they are really like.

Not to mention the star idols who have backstage support, those star idols who don’t have backstage support are restricted by the company in their every move.

Where they travel, what they eat, who they come into contact with, and even what they wear are all beyond their control.

Even more extreme is the legendary "pillow business", which means that one cannot continue to climb up without spending a good night with certain people.

These are things that Molly cannot accept, so even though her talent can indeed make her a world-class idol, Molly still chooses to become a mercenary.

At least this profession is free.

That's the case at the moment.

Molly said so, and the cowboy didn't know what to say. He looked at the time and said to Molly:

"Everything is going well with the current plan. You comfort Lydia and try to gain her trust. I'll go get the stock. It's not easy to forge a chip like the 'Hero Fantasy'."

"Well, I'll leave that to you. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm moving in the next few days, so if you want to see me, don't go to my previous apartment. I'll give you the address of my new house after I move."

"I see."

After the two of them had a brief conversation, they left the restaurant one after another.

Molly took advantage of the time she had during the day to pack up her things and contact a moving company to move those things that were inconvenient to carry to her new home.

Of course, having said that, there wasn't anything special that Molly needed to bring from home.

There were almost no larger pieces of furniture, and the rest were some cosmetics, clothes, and toiletries, and at most the military equipment that Molly had bought during this period.

Molly also has no intention of selling this house. She plans to rent it out over a long period of time, which will also save her money on rent for a new apartment.

Sister Muzi did say that she would waive Molly’s rent, but Molly still had to pay for other things herself.

For example, water and electricity bills, security fees, property fees, etc. If Molly has a car in the future, she will have to rent a parking space in the underground parking lot of the apartment.

Thinking about what she needed to prepare after moving into her new home, Molly returned to her apartment.

But just as she reached her floor and was about to go home, Molly saw an argument happening in the corner of the apartment.

The apartment where Molly lives has four households per floor. Molly's room is on the right side of the elevator. There is also a family directly opposite the elevator and on the left side of the elevator.

The dispute is now taking place right at the elevator door, and the people being disputed are the residents on the left and the residents of the room directly opposite the elevator, which is the room next to Molly's.

The girl named Usami Airi.

The owner of Room No. 1 on the left side of the elevator is a sturdy white man with long body hair.

He often came back drunk. Molly had seen him a few times before, but she always avoided him and didn't have much interaction with him.

As for Usami Airi, there is no need to say much. Apart from the last time when she wanted to give her a souvenir and was rejected by her, the two of them haven't had much communication since then.

As for the scene in front of us, judging from the current situation, it was probably that Usami Airi wanted to give a gift to the resident of Room 1 according to etiquette, but was rejected by the other party...

Although I really want to think so, it shouldn't develop into a situation where a white strong man beats up Usami Airi.

"You bitch! Didn't I tell you not to come near my room?!"

"I'm...I'm sorry! I just wanted to give you what you dropped...I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Usami Airi fell to the ground, still apologizing to the strong man.

Judging from the content of the argument between the two, it seems that resident No. 1 dropped something outside, and Usami Airi picked it up and wanted to return it, but she accidentally provoked the other party and was pushed to the ground by the other party.

Molly walked out of the elevator and didn't want to care about what was happening in front of her.

Leaving aside the muscular white man, Usami Airi, who appears harmless on the surface, is also suspected of monitoring Molly.

Molly always remembered the mechanical spider that sneaked into the room last time. Although there was no evidence, Molly felt that it must have been done by Usami Airi.

So she didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
