Facts have proved that some things still exist on an ideal level and are more in line with human thinking and emotional tendencies.
Ronan spent most of the night drawing psychic diagrams last night and didn't go to bed until early in the morning. Because his mind was too active, he had a rare dream. In this state, he was awakened by the vibration of his six ears and opened his eyes.
It was just dawn, and he could not sleep for more than two hours at most.
Ronan didn't even look at who the caller was, so he answered the call in a daze, and the voice on the other end was filled with a sense of frustration that could not be concealed: "We've almost found out, the Xia City side is very clean, it's purely the Sakag City side.
While throwing money... they won’t give us a chance to easily intervene!”
"Ah, Squidward."
Only then did Ronan figure out who the electrician was, and then it took him another two seconds to finally connect Octopus's words with the situation last night. Yes, Octopus volunteered to check Moya and go to Sakagawa.
The man behind the event has now revealed the results.
Should he say he wasn't surprised at all?
Of course, even if Ronan's emotional intelligence was poor, he would not say such stupid things. And he really needed detailed information about the octopus to compare with the vague imagery of the psychic diagram he just drew last night.
"What is the specific situation? Oh, wait a minute, I will wake up my head." Ronan closed his eyes, slightly adjusted the flow of energy and blood, and waited until the drowsiness in his mind dissipated, then said, "Brother Squidward, please continue.
"
Octopus has been restraining his emotions and carefully considered what he said to avoid negative impact on Ronan: "We checked the relevant schedule and the announcement of the fan club, which is nominally part of the Sakai Music Festival.
The event itself is formal and is held every year. It also invites well-known bands and musicians around the world, including some new talents in the rock industry..."
"The Mountain Brook Band shouldn't be qualified, right?"
"Well, judging from what I know from industry insiders, in the past, newcomer bands like Shanxi were definitely not eligible to receive invitations, but they could participate at their own expense and make a name for themselves."
Ronan sighed: "But now someone is paying them to reimburse them, so no one can refuse... Then who is paying?"
"Liyin Century is a well-known music company in Sakai and even the world, a giant in the industry, and one of the largest sponsors of the Sakai Music Festival." Octopus finally said with a bit of distress in his voice, "Liyin has done a good job there.
It’s also watertight. They really played a money-sprinkling game this year. In addition to the industry leaders who are inevitably invited every year, each of the 88 major metropolitan areas in the world has designated three new bands and sponsored them for free to go to Sakai.
…
"Complete corporate behavior, normal channels?"
"Yes, this is the key to the matter. By investigating the direction of the funds and 'consulting' the handlers, it can basically be determined that in the whole matter, Mingtang Culture, where Moya is located, is just a piece of pie in the sky, just going along with the flow.
It is completely in a subordinate and cooperative position."
Ronan sighed: "It feels like I'm nervous."
"No, no, no, in extraordinary times, you can never be too careful. Besides, there is another thing about the Shanxi Band's re-debut in Sakai..."
"Oh? Is this really happening?"
"It can only be said to be a rumor, but it also has a nose and an eye. According to a middle-level manager of Mingtang Culture, most of the bands designated by Liyin to sponsor are actually underground bands, that is, they are not signed by companies. Liyin is likely to choose the best.
Several of them have signed management contracts. Shanxi was originally an underground band. Although it has been signed to Mingtang Culture, if Liyin is really interested, it is very likely that she will take over. As long as the price is right, Mingtang Culture is not
Will refuse."
Ronan got to the core with one sentence: "Why are you interested!"
"This..." Octopus hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's just a rumor. Last month, one of Liyin's directors, named Tamagawa Eisuke, came to Xiacheng and watched the Shanxi Band's performance. He seemed to be very impressed.
Interested."
"What's wrong with Tamagawa?"
"Eisuke Tamagawa is also a well-known person in the industry. He also has family support and strong financial resources."
Ronan pointed to the sensitive part: "Is he interested in the band or is he interested in someone?"
"This is unknown. Anyway, after he returned, the name of the band Shanxi was on the newly released sponsorship list. It is said that Shanxi is also the only one of the 261 sponsored bands outside of Sakamoto that has a contract company..."
"Eisuke Tamagawa." Ronan made sure to remember this name, "Is this guy related to the other world?"
"Based on the current intelligence, he has basically no traces in the other world, but at their level, even if he lacks extraordinary talent, he is basically inextricably linked to this place. Besides, Sakagawa is considered to be all large metropolitan areas.
Here, one of the areas with the weakest barriers between the secular world and the other world, various religious groups, gangs and weeds are spread in every corner. With these as cover, the influence of extraordinary power can be regarded as a kind of wild growth. "
"Understood." Ronan already had a clue in his mind.
Octopus said again: "I'm afraid there is nothing to investigate here in Xia City. It will take some time for news from Sakag City. When will Moya come?"
"It sets sail at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but her idea of traveling came too hastily. There are still a lot of procedures to go through, and she has to go to the dock in the morning."
"Oh, have the bodyguards been arranged?"
"Bodyguard?" Ronan really didn't think about this. He originally thought that if Moya made the trip, with the help of the global telepathy network to monitor the whole process, if something happened, he and Ruiwen would join forces and they would be extraordinary.
It may not be impossible to fight.
Besides, only Moya is allowed to go to the area in Bancheng, but he is not allowed to go?
Octopus still adheres to traditional thinking and strongly recommends Ronan hire bodyguards: "For safety reasons, it is normal to send professionals to protect him. Now that the situation is unclear, everything must be taken into account, and this is also a suitable way to express his attitude.
"
"Oh, it's just like the escorts in ancient times. They yelled when something happened."
Octopus choked: "That's right. Professionally speaking, it is best for bodyguards to be equipped with both physical and mental sides, so that both human shields and radars are available. Regarding the candidates, Secretary He, Mr. Juji, Zong Ji
There are many gentlemen there. If you find it inconvenient for men, there are also excellent candidates for women..."
"Cat's Eye!" Ronan blurted out.
This time it was Octopus's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect Ronan to pick someone so quickly. But after thinking about it again, he thought it was great: "Yes, Maoyan is one of the best 'radars', and he is considered an insider.
It can help. In that case, just find another human shield."
Ronan hummed twice, but he was thinking that if Maoyan arrived in Xiacheng, there would be many places to help him cover, and it would be much easier for him to do things there. It's a pity that such a character can't be found in Xiacheng.
indivual.
Well, I can't find another similar "abnormal relationship"...
"Maoyan is such a lazy guy, you still need to tell her personally about this matter."
Octopus's voice was a little erratic, but Ronan responded logically: "Oh, that's natural."
"Then count just one cat eye, I will contact Secretary He and the others and compile a list before 12 noon. It is up to you to decide. By the way, two people are just basic equipment. If you think it is not safe, three or five are also normal. The cost
You don’t have to worry about anything else, we’ve taken care of it all... hang up now.”
Octopus is really full of energy and gets things done in a hurry.
Ronan sat on the edge of the bed, thinking for a while, and sorted out the information he had learned from the octopus before. Ten seconds later, he took a long breath and relaxed, and all the spiritual energy machines in the surrounding thirty-kilometer radius changed.
, a series of simple sketches were formed, which appeared in my mind like animation.
His mind naturally focused on the family area. The sketch turned into a clear and concrete image. You can "see" your uncle preparing breakfast in the kitchen; your aunt is in Moya's room, helping her pack her luggage and giving instructions to Moya.
When he got bored, he simply ran to the side and made a phone call, as if he was a traveling companion. As for Mo Peng, he also woke up rarely, but curled up in bed and played games.
The scenes combined together form a familiar yet completely boring situation. Perhaps in his writing, in the sprawling psychic diagram, this is just a simple silhouette symbol, but this symbol is engraved at the core, and is related to
His life is intertwined and inseparable.
Naturally, no malicious intent is allowed to touch it.
Ronan's eyes were cold, and he opened the virtual workspace again to see the results of last night's work.
It's strange. He clearly used Moya as a clue to trigger the incident, but there is no shadow of Moya in this picture. The elements shown include the outline of the city's steel jungle and the shadow of towering ancient trees.
, there is also a special silhouette that appears for the second time:
A luxury cruise ship sailing on the sea.
Well, with this one thing, we can basically confirm: the "treat plan" over there is really persistent! We are trying every possible means to get Ronan "on board".
In other words, this cannot be called the word "please".
In addition to drawing pictures last night, Ronan was also picking out words, specifically looking up the word "客". But what impressed him most was not the word "客" itself, but another word with a similar meaning to this word.
Character:
Bin.
Guests can be called together, but guest means to be respected; guest means to send; if the two are symmetrical, the guest is respected and the guest is humble, the guest is big and the guest is small.
The person who made the "treat plan" definitely did not treat Ronan as a "distinguished guest", but only as a person who was forcibly invited to fulfill his certain purpose.
In short, there is a lack of respect for Ronan over there.
It doesn't matter at first, but if this "disrespect" is spread to Ronan's relatives and friends, and they are rubbed and manipulated at will... then it is no wonder that he wants to establish the "respect" he deserves.
Ronan exhaled a long breath, got up from the bed, stood barefoot on the floor, and looked through the window lattice to the already bright eastern sky. The clouds from the sea expanded and deformed under the sunlight, and filled with rays of light.
Although the glow is beautiful, as the saying goes, "it rains in the morning and clears in the evening", the weather may not necessarily be good next!
