"Check the safety of your equipment to avoid any problems that might cause our band members to get hurt."
"what?"
The staff member was stunned for a moment, and his eyes swept over his body again, finally stopping at his somewhat childish fair face. The corner of his mouth twitched, revealing an awkward but rude smile.
"Sir, please rest assured. Our team has held music festivals for several years, and everything on the stage has passed safety inspections before being delivered, so..."
"What about the stage itself?" Ming Hai interrupted him rudely, "Are you sure that this stage can still be as good as the previous events without any problems?"
“Of course, please don’t doubt our professionalism.” Feeling more and more that he was being unreasonable, the staff member’s expression was already a little impatient. “We will be responsible for the safety of all performers and audiences. This is not something that can be joked about. If you are still worried…”
Also without waiting for him to finish his official remarks, Ming Hai walked directly to the back of the stage and shook the truss gently.
Bang!
He casually turned sideways and dodged the steel pipe falling from the sky.
The crisp sound of the steel pipes hitting the ground made the staff's faces turn pale, and they looked at the criss-crossing Truss structure above the stage in disbelief.
"No, how is this possible..."
"Also, you'd better check the stage lights." Ming Hai glanced at him calmly without considering his feelings. The cold pressure that came over him made this staff member who was many years older than him subconsciously take a step back. "The wind is so strong today. If the headlights are accidentally blown down and hit the band members... I don't need to tell you, you should know the consequences, right?"
"Yes! I'm so sorry!"
Almost as an instinctive reaction, the staff put their legs together and bowed 90 degrees to him respectfully.
When the staff came to their senses, they remembered that the person in front of them was not their supervisor, but a teenager who came from nowhere and just had a work badge.
When I looked up, I found that the other person had disappeared and I didn't know where he went.
"How did he find out... No, who was responsible for the stage safety check before this?! How could such a big mistake be made..."
While notifying other colleagues, the staff member was thinking about how to clean the pot.
Soon, the stage was temporarily blocked by the organizers and a new round of safety inspections began.
-
Ming Hai, who had hidden his achievements and fame, has now returned to the backstage.
"Hmm? Pretty fast."
He received a notification on his mobile phone that the rehearsal was postponed. Such efficiency made him raise his eyebrows slightly, and temporarily restored his trust in the professional level of the organizer.
But that's about it.
Even if the organizers really eliminated all the hidden threats he detected with the [Maintenance] skill, the system could still create other seemingly "reasonable" accidents - perhaps on the stage or while resting backstage, putting the people he cared about in crisis.
All the struggles now are in vain, and there is no chance of turning defeat into victory.
"Is there no other way..."
Rubbing the corner of his mouth with his thumb, Ming Hai walked in the backstage passage thoughtfully, but as if he realized something, his body suddenly stopped.
——Why am I still thinking about rebelling against the system's arrangements at this point?
Haven't you already accepted the reality and are planning to stand up straight and make a splendid exit?
As long as you die obediently, no one will get hurt; instead of wasting time to destroy the script written by the system, it is better to perform according to the role honestly, so that you can at least enjoy the happy time before death.
What's more, the way of death in the [Death Plan] was written by him himself, which was equivalent to him rejecting the death ending he had set for himself...
What is the benefit of doing such unnecessary things?
Standing on the spiral of contradiction, Ming Hai stood stiffly in place, half of his face covered by shadow, his expression changing in a complex manner.
I don’t know how long it was before a sigh came out of his mouth.
"So I... am so unwilling to admit defeat."
boom!
Ming Hai pounded his fists hard on the wall beside him, lowered his head and laughed at himself.
This was also the first time that he admitted the weakness that he had always been unwilling to face.
"So I... don't want to die so much."
The original intention of facing death calmly came after the girl broke into his heart without permission.
It can no longer be found.
-
Half an hour later.
After adjusting his heavy emotions, Ming Hai successfully reunited with the girls outside the venue.
They were not lost, nor were they in any danger - but for some reason, the way they looked at me was a little strange.
Equally strange is Toyokawa Shoko's expression.
She looked like she had just played some kind of punishment game. She clearly intended to accept defeat, but instinctively resisted the punishment given to her by others. Her face was full of reluctance and grievance.
"What's wrong? Didn't you go shopping?"
Ming Hai walked up to her and touched her head, trying to make her feel better.
As a result, as soon as he put his hand on it, Toyokawa Shoko took a step back slightly and tactfully avoided his hand.
"No, nothing..." She bit her lip, and vaguely glanced at the people behind her who were watching her. She tried hard to resist the urge to act coquettishly and complain to him, and said to him in a calm tone, "Mr. Minghai, when does the rehearsal start? I think we need to start practicing."
——No one would believe what you said.
Ming Hai tapped her forehead gently, looked up at the others, and signaled with his eyes that they should give an answer quickly.
-
It's a difficult birth. The more I want to write well, the more pressure I feel. I deleted more than 2,000 words of the manuscript yesterday alone.
In the end, my writing skills were not good enough and I couldn't write the scene I wanted clearly and concisely, so it was so difficult and slow.
But I will definitely write it, no matter how much time it takes or how many words I have to delete or modify.
Volume 155: Chapter Chapter Will the Secret Come to Light?
"This is a girl's secret. You will know it after a while."
Nagasaki Motoyo was the first to step forward and pulled Toyokawa Shoko behind her, as if gender had drawn a clear line between them, and her tone was also deliberately cold.
Standing on the opposite side of the girls, Ming Hai frowned and stared into Nagasaki Suyo's eyes questioningly.
"When is some time?"
Nagasaki Suyo didn't dare to look him in the eye. She could only turn her face away as if nothing had happened. She casually rolled the soft hair on her cheek with her fingers and whispered softly, "It's just a while... at least wait until the performance is over. Don't forget, we're not here to play."
"The show is over..."
Ming Hai opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after taking a deep breath, he gave up the idea of turning the sound that came up in his throat into words, and instead looked at Wakaba Mu silently.
The puppet girl still said little, just shook her head and said concisely: "Su Shi said that I can't be a mouthpiece."
Without any surprise, he then looked at Takamatsu Deng.
The little grey-haired animal was about to speak when Shiina Riki covered his eyes.
"Deng, don't look into that guy's eyes, or you'll be bewitched!"
"Is Naru-Narumi-san some kind of monster...?"
Takamatsu Deng struggled a little, but after Shiina Riki whispered a few words to her, she gradually gave up and calmed down. She then turned to Ming Hai and lowered her head apologetically: "Ming Hai, I have to say sorry too... But don't worry, I'll tell you soon!"
After releasing his hand, Shiina Riki added: "So don't ask anymore. It's not a bad thing anyway. And before the answer is announced, this guy has to be carefully watched by us, and he can't get too close to you for the time being. Is that okay?"
The girl's palms were placed on Toyokawa Shoko's slender shoulders. The powerful force of the drummer made it impossible for her to muster any resistance except to whimper pitifully.
"I'm sorry, Ming Haijun... This is the punishment I voluntarily accepted, and it is the sin I must pay for... Wuwuwu..."
Mumbling with tears in her eyes but without them, Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips and obediently returned to the joint supervision of Su Shi and Li Xi, lowering her head and not daring to look at him again.
A strange look swept over the five of them, and Ming Hai stroked his chin in thought.
——If I rush over, pick up Xiangzi and run away, how will you respond?
Anyway, whoever dared to stop him would just follow him and carry them away; one by one, two by two, until they stopped playing dumb with him.
Riddler, get out of here [CryCHIC]!
...If it were a different time, Ming Hai might really act like a child and deliberately make trouble with them?
Unfortunately, he is not in the mood now.
After knowing that the cause was probably that Xiangzi had made some mistake again and was punished by Su Shi and others and voluntarily accepted the punishment of keeping a distance from him, Ming Hai no longer had the interest to ask further questions.
As long as they have fun.
"Okay, I see."
Ming Hai spread his hands, his eyes were gentle, and a helpless smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"…When everything is over, remember to tell me the answer."
"Of course, just look forward to it."
Nagasaki Motoyo smiled back meaningfully, and seemed to be looking forward to what expression he would show when the answer was revealed.
On the other side, Shiina Riki poked Toyokawa Shoko's cheek in a reproachful manner and said in a low voice: "Looking at the look on that guy's face, he must have guessed what we were going to do... It's all your fault for being too obvious!"
Miss Xiangzi cried out innocently: "You can't blame me for this, right? What if I'm too vague and Ming Hai-kun misunderstands me... I don't want to make him angry or worried even for a second."
"Tsk, what two disgusting guys!"
Shiina Riki quickly distanced himself from her and rubbed the goose bumps on his arms with disgust on his face.
Toyokawa Shoko didn't care. Instead, she hummed complacently, her little face full of pride and happiness.
-
Playing is playing, joking is joking, but practice is no joke.
After getting their instruments back, they quickly forgot about these little incidents and, with the help of the organizers, found a place to start practicing.
They also knew that the main stage was blocked and rehearsals were postponed, but it seemed that they were afraid that the performers would be afraid to go on stage, so the news of the safety issue was kept secret, and no one knew the reason for the sudden blockade of the stage.
Ming Hai didn't intend to say it out loud, so as not to cause the girls to worry unnecessarily.
What other bands guessed had nothing to do with CryCHIC, who had already been practicing so hard; although they were the youngest performers at this music festival, in terms of the rigor and seriousness of their practice, these five girls were not inferior to anyone else present.
They focused on practice, and Ming Hai did some things that an agent should do during this period.
For example, greeting other performers and preparing lunch.
They were busy like this until the afternoon, when the main stage was finally opened and it was their turn to go on stage for rehearsal.
It was their first time rehearsing on such a large stage, with staff and other performers watching their every move, so their performance was inevitably a little poor - even if you ignore the discrepancies in the chords, their movements were visibly stiff and tense, and they simply couldn't muster even 50% of the strength they normally perform.
It was not until the end of the rehearsal that the few people barely got used to the pressure brought by the big stage and performed the two songs "My Song" and "Spring Shadow" as smoothly as possible.
Naturally, after they stepped down from the stage, their expressions were not very good.
As if the pressure was squeezing their hearts tightly, the silent silence locked the girls' breath. Their sweaty yet pale faces were frozen with disappointment in themselves and heavy stiffness.
Ming Hai did not say anything to comfort them, but just took them back to the lounge.
This is a special lounge provided during rehearsal. It can be used for half an hour, after which other performers will have to use it.
After closing the door, Ming Hai watched the girls drag their lead-like steps, find empty seats and sit down, still keeping their heads down and remaining silent.
He folded his hands over his elbows, thinking about how he could encourage them.
——The current scene of low morale was not unexpected to him.
Two stages of different levels, with a world of difference in performance. Anyone would be so depressed by their own abnormality that they would be afraid to go on stage officially.
Even though he is not good at speaking, he had thought of a few lines of speech in advance to give them some chicken soup for the soul - whether it is useful or not is not the point for now, but he still has to fulfill his responsibilities as an agent.
But before he could put it into practice, there was a knock on the door he was leaning against.
When Ming Hai opened the door, he saw GDM's lead singer Masami Iwasawa and her band members standing outside the door, greeting them with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"
