“We will not disappoint any expectations.”

"So please listen. This is our cry—"

“The first song is ‘My Song’.”

The melodious guitar sound opened the curtain, and the cry of [CryCHIC] spread far away.

-

It seems that one can hear the sound of the typhoon approaching.

The clouds in the sky were unknowingly dyed with thick ink again, and the early arrival of night lit up the street lamps; the strong wind whistled past, but could only blow the hot and humid air into people's collars, without bringing any cool feeling.

Wearing a blue work suit and with his hat brim pulled down, Ming Hai hurriedly walked through the crowd like an ordinary maintenance worker and successfully reached the back of the stage.

A loud and emotional singing voice sounded on the stage not far ahead, along with the gentle and harmonious melody of instruments.

"It sounds really good... It's totally different from the performance in rehearsal."

Ming Hai couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, his mood rose and fell with the singing, and his head swayed unconsciously from side to side.

——If possible, he would rather stay off the stage, close his eyes and enjoy this musical feast.

Unfortunately, this reality is always contrary to one's wishes. At least now, he still has a lot of things to do.

"Hey, is it going to rain soon?"

"Yes, the main control is already executing the rain preparation. They should raise half of the ceiling in a moment."

"If the typhoon happens to come ashore, will we have to evacuate tourists urgently?"

"The weather forecast didn't say that. It should just be some wind and rain. Don't worry."

"That's fine."

Listening to the staff around him chatting for a while, Ming Hai did not stop, but carried the ladder and toolbox to the place where the ceiling curtain was controlled, and waited silently.

Sure enough, not long after, someone came over quickly and shouted to the controller here:

"It's raining, pull up the zenith!"

"it is good."

The control officer pressed the switch and looked up at the ceiling above the venue slowly rising from the edge of the stage. Then it suddenly got stuck and an ominous creaking sound came from somewhere.

"Huh? What's going on..."

Everyone looked up at the sky in confusion, only Ming Hai raised his eyebrows, smiled disdainfully, then quickly walked to the corner with the ladder and climbed up lightly.

When the staff on the scene noticed something was wrong and surrounded them to ask something, Ming Hai had already returned to the ground with the toolbox, pointed to the ceiling curtain that had been successfully activated above his head, and said in a calm tone:

"It was a little laggy, but it's fixed. Didn't you check this side when you sealed off the main stage?"

The leading staff member was stunned for a moment, and quickly entered the professional state of "being caught at work and being blamed, and urgently needing to pass the buck", and answered hesitantly: "This... I'm not sure, you should ask the person who was in charge of this matter at the time..."

"Forget it, I'll be more careful next time."

Ming Hai was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and quickly picked up his things and left the scene with a somewhat weird atmosphere.

When he came to a deserted place, he took off his hat and fanned himself by his collar as if taking a breath.

"Huh... It's just like Werewolf in Space. The werewolf activated the shockwave, and the good guys have to fix it quickly before anyone dies..."

The system is a werewolf, and he is the good guy - while protecting the lives of others, he must also be careful not to accidentally die a heroic death.

Based on the feedback from the [Maintenance] skill, if that thing is stuck on top of the head for more than half a minute, it will probably fall down... and within the direct damage range is naturally the band performing on the stage, [CryCHIC].

If he wanted to save them when the accident happened, he might die in front of Xiangzi - so Minghai still chose the second path.

Just like when he was inspecting the stage, he relied on the reward given by the system in the second stage - the [Maintenance] skill to prevent accidents before they happened. However, this time it was his turn to do it himself and face the accidents arranged by the system face to face.

"System, do you think you are shooting yourself in the foot?" Looking at the stormy scene outside, Ming Hai couldn't help but sneer a few times, even though the system didn't care at all, "You gave me superpowers, and gave me repair skills that are like cheating. The result is that I am now unable to die smoothly according to your script..."

The system really intended to kill him at this moment, Ming Hai had experienced this fact personally.

For example, when he was climbing the ladder just now, many of the steps along the way seemed fragile and were about to break. If he used too much force, he would most likely fall directly from a great height, and if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

And before that, he had encountered an accident - when he went to store the girls' mobile phones, the machine controlling the electronic locker suddenly crashed, the door above his head opened automatically, and the dumbbells and other heavy objects stored inside fell directly on his head.

If Ming Hai hadn't reacted quickly and used the [Candy Armor] to block it, he would have been sent to the hospital by now.

The feeling of being targeted by the whole world is just like a real-life version of Final Destination, with invisible murderous intentions and dangerous accidents everywhere.

Ming Hai knew that the system did not intend to kill him in this way, but just wanted to consume his physical strength and energy - to make him unable to make any changes when the script began.

So he was prepared.

-

Next chapter? Or the next chapter? I can finally play the suona.

Volume 160: Chapter Chapter : Haruhi Shadow Heading Toward Destruction

The first is to make some bold predictions.

The weather is visibly getting worse, and wind and rain are inevitable - what unexpected things will this cause?

Ming Hai flipped through the videos of music festivals in previous years and immediately saw the canopy used to shield performers from the rain.

The system's goal is to kill itself, so it can rule out exaggerated natural disasters such as a bolt of lightning killing them, a super typhoon blowing away the entire stage, and some accidents that he has no time to rescue and no warning; and this accident must have enough lethality and a huge range of impact to put the "superpower" it created personally into a dilemma.

Considering the current location of the shackles that bound him - [CryCHIC], it is not difficult to guess what kind of trouble the system will cause.

Either the speakers, headlights or other equipment would fall on their heads, or the skylight, which looked dilapidated, would simply malfunction.

In order to deal with these two situations, Ming Hai specially prepared a set of work clothes, used his ability to forge a maintenance worker badge for on-site use, and while depositing their mobile phones for them, he quietly slipped to the edge of the stage and conducted another inspection.

Through the [Maintenance] skill, he came to the reliable conclusion that "the stage has been completely reinforced by the organizer. As long as the wind and rain are not too strong, there will be no accidents of falling." Even if the wind and rain are really strong enough to cause an accident, the orchestra on the stage is unlikely to continue playing, and the performers and the audience will probably be evacuated immediately at that time.

In this case, the only possibility left is that the canopy has malfunctioned.

Unfortunately, the skylight was still closed at the time, and he had no reason to ask them to open it temporarily for inspection; even if they really took safety issues into consideration, the organizers would pay attention to his suggestions, but after carefully checking his sweet and delicious work badge, they would probably expel him as a malicious troublemaker and forget what he said, right?

Unable to pin his hopes on others, Ming Hai simply took action on his own.

While the girls were nervously getting ready to go on stage, he was running around, making arrangements everywhere, doing a lot of things in a short period of time, and he almost got himself out of breath.

But the result was encouraging—he successfully predicted the system's first wave of attack, and it did not affect the girls who were concentrating on their performance.

The first battle of wits and courage against fate ended with his great victory.

"Okay, what will the system do next?"

After just a short rest, Ming Hai set off again and quietly returned to the edge of the stage.

"My Song" has come to the end. The deep but infectious voice made the audience in the audience show expressions of shock and intoxication. They seemed to have forgotten the restless emotions they had experienced in the crazy electronic music not long ago. They just instinctively waved the light sticks in their hands. The atmosphere was uniformly peaceful and tranquil.

This is the song that can cleanse the soul - it is the unreserved inner cry of the girl named Takamatsu Tomori.

Ming Hai listened with emotion while observing the girls on the stage.

Even though they played without any confusion and were very focused, it was still noticeable that they kept glancing towards the audience seats at the front, as if they were very concerned about the reaction of one of the audience members.

Ming Hai knew that what they were looking at was the mannequin he had disguised himself as - the [Candy Doll] made with his ability, still holding up the cheering sign motionlessly.

"Did you notice something was wrong?"

Ming Hai could only sigh helplessly.

Putting up a dummy to fulfill his promise of "watching their performance from the audience" was already his limit.

For him, what is important is not only their safety, but also this performance that he has prepared and anticipated for a long time.

If he really couldn't escape the knife of fate in the end, he should at least let the girls' performance end smoothly, so that he could die with peace of mind and die for a good cause.

...Fortunately, they only vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

They also knew the importance of this performance, and the previous reminder should have allowed Xiangzi to cover for them, so there was no need to worry that they would be disrupted by that little suspicion and affect the quality of their performance.

What we should pay most attention to now is the second wave of attack that is sure to come.

Looking around, Ming Hai frowned thoughtfully and rubbed the corner of his mouth gently with his thumb.

"The stage is still fine, and the wind and rain are not dangerous. There is basically no 'reasonable' possibility of accidents..."

Of course, if the system could really pull a meteorite over and let him perform a heroic act of "It's just a meteorite, watch me push it back with the Candy Gundam!", then Ming Hai would really be speechless.

Being able to die so heroically doesn't mean that one's life has been lived in vain.

However, it seems that the system is not shameless enough to go all out. At most, it is just taking advantage of the weather and environment, which is still within the scope of his personal ability to handle.

——Since there is no danger on the stage, the second wave of attack will most likely appear under the stage.

That is when they finish playing, return backstage, and are most relaxed!

"In this way, at least the performance can be successfully concluded..."

Ming Hai breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense spirit relaxed a little.

Just then, he heard some dull thunder coming from the dark clouds above his head.

"Ok?"

Looking up, I could vaguely see a few flashes of lightning flashing among the surging black tide.

Although the wind and rain hadn't gotten any stronger, there was still a sense of the calm before the storm, and a dangerous feeling that a lightning storm was about to arrive.

"No way? Are you going to do this?"

A possibility flashed through his mind, and Ming Hai's expression instantly became ugly, and he immediately raised a straight middle finger to the sky.

He certainly didn't think that the system would directly use lightning to kill everyone on the stage - as long as he had no chance to save others, it would not be in line with the death plan, and Xiangzi might also be affected.

But what if the system discovered his weakness and set a trap for him with lightning?

Should he pretend not to see it, or step on it resolutely?

"System, you are fucked!"

Without thinking too much, Ming Hai cursed with gritted teeth, turned around and left the spot, running quickly towards the power control room.

-

"Huh, huh..."

When the song ended, Gao Song Deng slowly loosened his hand holding the microphone, and while quietly adjusting his breath, he wiped the sweat from his hands with his trousers and wiped away his bangs that were wet by the rain.

Although the rain shelter above their heads had been opened, the stage was still affected by the wind and rain, so almost every one of them had to perform in the rain.

However, the quality of the performance was not affected by this. In fact, it became better and better after everyone got into the state, completely ignoring the interference of the harsh environment. Not only did it completely surpass the level of rehearsal, it was also much more handy than the first time it played "My Song", and the singing was more fluent and focused.

After a brief silence, the applause from the audience that surged like a wave was the best proof of their recognition.

The lights dimmed slightly, and the few of them took this opportunity to drink some water to replenish their energy and chatted with each other in private.

"Is that really Narumi-san? Why is he so motionless…"

"That should be it? He said he was pretending to be a fake person and asked us not to pay attention to him."

"This isn't something that shouldn't be told to anyone, why does he have to tell you alone?"

"I do not know either……"

"Okay, let's ask him after we get off the stage. The main event is coming up, don't be distracted."

"Li Xi, are you distracted as well? It's just that you can't see him from your position..."

"Aha?!"

"Mu-chan, don't say such things. It will make Riki-chan angry and embarrassed."

"Oh."

"No, you two bastards..."

The friendly chat didn't last long and soon ended hastily as the lights came back on.

Everyone put down their water bottles and returned to their original positions.

As the leader of the group, Xiangzi took the microphone first, bowed slightly to the audience in front, and showed a refreshing and elegant smile.

"Hello everyone, we are [CryCHIC]!"

Then everyone introduced themselves one by one. Since we had rehearsed it several times, it went very smoothly and no one had any problems.

"Maybe someone knows us because of something, or maybe someone knows nothing about us..."
