In the dark room, there are various monitors of different sizes, which looks like a control room.
A young man who had not washed his hair for a long time scratched his hair, holding a cigarette in his mouth and staring at the screen in front of him intently, typing something continuously. A pair of smooth horns on his head reflected the light on different screens.
Mark is a host. He used to be famous for analyzing Xiao Liuli’s songs, but now he has switched careers and started doing news interpretation.
He was extremely lucky...he watched this episode of "The Emperor's Talk Show".
To be honest, Mark usually doesn't like to watch this kind of program. It's not that the Emperor's level is not good enough... rather, it's quite the opposite, it's because the Emperor's level is too high.
Mark thinks that he is just a maggot in the sewer, and he deserves to live in such a dark and lightless place. Even on the Internet, the honest-voiced and knowledgeable "Mark" has a lot of followers, but that is just a good thing.
It's just a projection of myself.
He would feel uncomfortable just seeing someone like the emperor. Every word and deed of the emperor had the charm of changing others, and this aggressive charm made him feel uncomfortable - because he did not hope that he would change.
And Mark was convinced that with the Emperor's appeal...if he listened carefully to every episode of his talk show, he would soon unconsciously absorb some of the Emperor's traits and agree with some of his views.
Mark knew he was just a bug, but he just didn't want to change.
The last person who pulled him out was named Xiao Liuli, but she was already dead.
She is not like other idols... her voice is sweet, her character is innocent, and her lyrics are either full of temptation or full of girlishness.
Xiao Liuli's skills are very strong, but every song she sings does not show off her skills, but is full of emotion. It's as if you can reach out your hand and touch her heart.
Although the lyrics of each song are superficially about love... but if you feel and taste it carefully, you will find that the lyrics are all metaphors - she is talking about life.
She has a song called "Lovers in the Sky". It sounds sweet and romantic, quite girlish, as if two people are flying in the air, hugging and kissing each other, and that moment is eternity... But if you taste it carefully, you will find what she said
It is actually a sacrifice for love. It is the last freedom and freedom in despair.
Another song of hers is called "Forever One-Way Arrow". It starts with a soft murmur, and gradually turns into a hysterical cry, as if the girl is telling her feelings that can never be conveyed... But what she actually sings is,
It’s the fact that people at the bottom will never be able to access their true dreams.
Each of her songs tells a story... "Under the Sunset" is superficially about a teenage couple after school, but in fact it is about the "growth" of two people who drift further apart after graduation and never see each other again;
"Bracelet" is about a man who suddenly discovers that he has lost the bracelet given by his first love when he was packing up his things after getting married. However, it actually implies that the corporate dog has gradually lost the conscience and innocence of his youth under the hands of the company.
Every song sung by Xiao Liuli is full of emotion. It may be a gentle whisper, a sad cry, or a painful roar - these songs are all written by her herself. And her excellent singing skills
Then these songs can be performed perfectly...even to the point where other people's covers always "lack that flavor"...
This is the reason why Xiao Liuli is loved by people.
Because her songs are sung to all those who suffer. They are sung to those at the bottom... Although she is also an idol promoted by the company, there is no doubt that she is from "this side". She has suffered and suffered
A sin...but she does not convey negative emotions to people. Every high-pitched voice and every soft murmur will resonate with people.
She is always so bright, smiling, cheerful and cute. But in fact, her true fans will know that she is sad inside.
She just wore a bright smile mask and hid all her sadness, doubts and pain in her core.
...But, Xiao Liuli is just a singer after all.
Her songs can make people identify, move people, and understand that she is not alone. Somewhere in the world, there are many people who have the same experience and encounters as her. These are
With Xiao Liuli as the "center", the fans formed a bond of "Although we have never met, we already know each other".
She makes people no longer lonely. But it is just no longer lonely.
Xiao Liuli couldn't come up with any solution to the problem... because she herself was also in the game.
In fact, although Ultramarine killed Xiao Liuli, Mark, as a loyal fan of Xiao Liuli, did not hate Ultramarine at all. He was even somewhat grateful to the man.
Because Mark vaguely realized that in Xiao Liuli's recent songs... the gentle and tenacious power has become dull and dull, and the proportion of pain, confusion and despair is constantly increasing.
——Either degenerate into a devil, or "fly".
As Xiao Liuli's most loyal fan, Mark has clearly felt... Xiao Liuli's mask that always smiles brightly is already full of cracks, and her heart is beginning to break.
One day, she will be destroyed. But Mark can't do anything.
Because he can't change the world. He's just a bug in the ditch.
Before that inevitable day comes, Ultramarine kills Xiao Liuli - to save "innocent people".
Although Mark scorned those innocent people, he also thought... If Xiao Liuli could know that her broken death could be exchanged for the lives of so many innocent people, she would probably smile.
Because she is indeed such a gentle person.
…I don’t know why.
When he saw the "barber" from the Fuji Society, he actually saw a feeling unique to Xiao Liuli from that man.
Although their hair color, height, gender, age, spiritual relatives, and voices are completely different... there is a strange sense of similarity.
Especially the smile that has a bit of cunning, but is convincing and empowering, is really like it.
And his words, like Xiao Liuli's songs, can make Mark feel resonance and identify with him——
"All those who really need help from the Relief Society will not believe the rhetoric of those orators."
"I never understood this truth before. To those who are the poorest and most difficult, I tell you about the future that they will never see in their lifetime."...
Plain words.
It didn't have any fan power, but it made Mark burst into tears for no reason.
Because he had heard similar words in Xiao Liuli's songs.
But compared to the confused idol girl, this man is so powerful.
He stood under the spotlight, and the white suit on his body seemed to shine with light. He was like the sun descending on the earth, and the emperor next to him paled in comparison.
"——The darker the reality, the more bright dreams are needed."
"——Good intentions are wiped out by life, who can blame us for not being strong enough?"
These are all words that Mark himself analyzed from Xiao Liuli’s songs.
But now, a big man really stood up and spoke out for justice.
This might be a show, or it might just be publicity. But Mark's instinct told him that he could trust this man.
He decided to take the gamble.
He wrote the article for "The Barber" very seriously, not for criticism, but for publicity.
He has decided to join the Fuji Society... Even if he cannot become an employee of the Fuji Society, he still has his own way to help others.
He didn't want to listen to the emperor's preaching. He didn't want to become a dignified, clean and elegant big man standing under the sun.
He doesn't want to be in contact with society, he just wants to live in the darkness.
——But who says that a humble bug like him doesn’t deserve kindness in his heart?
"Mark, Mark!"
At this moment, a late-stage member of his team, his roommate who lived with him in the studio, suddenly broke into his room in a panic: "Big news, have you seen it?"
"I know, the emperor's talk show, right?"
Mark said impatiently: "I'm writing an article, don't bother me -"
"No, Ultramarine made it official! Just now!"
"...What? With whom?"
Mark frowned and waved his hand to put away the virtual keyboard.
He turned back to look at the skinny young man, countless bad thoughts already popping up in his mind.
Why is the hero with the most traffic suddenly announced officially at this time?
——Is it to distract traffic? Or is it to distract people’s attention? Is the company taking action? To eliminate the influence of the emperor’s talk show?
But it’s not right. This would do too much harm to “Ultraline”. With his age, education and appearance, there are quite a few girlfriend fans among his fans... There is no warning or any foreshadowing of the official announcement, which will definitely sway him directly.
His foundation.
Or is it because the barber said that he and Ultramarine are good friends, so the company decided to directly consume the name "Ultramarine" to reduce his popularity and then hide it?
Mark only felt chills in his body, and felt a little flinching in his heart.
This shows that the company is very serious about this matter.
This speed, this reaction... it's really too fast.
Do you really want to post your own?
That would undoubtedly be noticed by the company... maybe at some point, he would "die due to an accident."
However, soon, the skinny young man in front of Mark gave an answer that was completely beyond his expectation:
"I don't know, I don't know her, but she's pretty... No, that's her. But that's not the point. The point is that Ultramarine also had a fucking big melon before that!...
"——The ultramarine stone is hammered, and the barber is Xiao Liuli!"
"……What?"
Mark was stunned for a moment, as the vague premonition in his heart was about to become a reality.
He shouted: "Show me quickly - is there a recording?"
"It's a live broadcast. Tian'en Daily is still covering the interview. You can dial it forward ten minutes and you can see it." The young man replied immediately.
Hearing this, Mark opened the Tianen Daily website without hesitation.
He dragged the progress bar forward and soon heard the sound of ultramarine.
Xiao Liuli wanted to feel the suffering of the people more, so she erased all her aura by "killing herself". Starting from scratch, she sought the answer to saving Happy Island...
She found it.
No, it should be said...he found it.
The company called "Fuji Society" will be the only outlier. It relies entirely on people's goodwill to survive, and all the money is used to help others.
This is a gentleman's agreement - you believe me, I will help you. It is full of the brilliance of dreams.
This is indeed Xiao Liuli's style...
She did not die, nor did she despair, nor did she fall... but she finally found her own path.
Mark couldn't help but shed tears.
With his keenness, he immediately realized... why Ultramarine would suddenly make an official announcement at this moment.
——He is actively using his privacy to protect Xiao Liuli and the barber!
Ultramarine cut off its own fan base and used the "official announcement" to attract people's attention...so that those who don't care about the news and just want to eat melons can be attracted to it immediately.
Then they only need to read today's news and they will find out that Xiao Liuli is still alive.
Even the tag "Emperor" has begun to be blocked in batches, and hot searches about "Barber", "Godfather", and "Fujishe" have all been suppressed by the Ministry of Cyber Security...
However, they could not suppress the matter of "Ultraline Green Official Announcement".
Because Ultramarine is a "hero" - he does not directly belong to the company, nor is it under the jurisdiction of the Cyber Security Department. Only the directors can punish him; but the "Ultraline official announcement" will not alarm the directors.
Even if the final decision of the directors is to delete this hot search, the time it takes to go through this process is enough for everyone to know about it. Because the traffic of "Ultramarine" is so exaggerated.
You must know that Tianen Group cannot delete the news itself. They can only prevent people from going to this matter. As long as people know the specific time coordinates of the event, they will definitely be able to find it.
Use events from another angle to do hot searches to derive the same thing that was hidden...
Such a smart move, such a firm determination.
"...He is indeed a hero. Different from those trash."
Mark took a deep breath and replayed the live broadcast for the third time, carefully watching Russell's every word.
He checked the engine again... and found that the hot searches for "Emperor" and "Barber", which had started to decline in ranking, had resumed their upward trend.
"The Tianen Group will no longer be able to suppress this matter."
Mark commented: "In other words, the board of directors ordered the Cyber Security Department to give up... It seems that Ultramarine's weight is indeed heavier than other heroes, which I did not expect...
“After he took a clear-cut stand for Fuji Society, even the Tianen Group acquiesced in the existence of Fuji Society—before that, they had considered it an illegal organization.”
Just as Mark thought——
At the same time, in other corners of Happy Island.
He also kept making exclamations, screams, whines and crazy sounds.
Most of them are students...and most of them are young girls who are not even old enough to go to college.
It's still class time at this moment, but chaos has already begun in more than one classroom.
"Is it official?!"
"No, it's fake news..."
"Really, go check out the official website of Tian'en Daily!"
"She is so beautiful...she feels so noble."
"...So Ultramarine likes white dogs? Then I can do that too..."
"I'm so sore, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
"This man is a talented man and a beautiful woman, why are you so upset here?"
"I can only say one thing: a perfect match."
In less than five minutes, this incident quickly spread throughout the entire Happy Island.
People are now convinced that there is a board of directors behind Ultramarine - there is a high probability that he will even become a director of Tianen Group, and will definitely become a big shot in the future with a lot of money. At the same time, he is also a hero who can give people
A great sense of security, both appearance and figure are of the highest level... Not only does he have a good temper, but he also knows many important people - the most important thing is that he is only in his twenties this year, his academic qualifications are of the highest level, and he has not yet negotiated
Live in love.
With this kind of accumulation of buffs, it is impossible not to have girlfriend fans.
And under the influence of this news, people gradually discovered that "Xiao Liuli was not dead back then" -
Inside and outside alternate, outside and inside change...
With Russell's carefree operation, he not only changed the cause-and-effect sequence of "Xiao Liuli" and "Barber", but also detonated the bomb in advance and also turned it into support for the barber and Fuji Society; he even "
The two events of "Delphite Official Announcement" and "Platform Fuji Society" were also replaced.
Use the platform to help the cause of the society to minimize the negative impact of your official announcement so that people can "understand"; at the same time, use the results of your official announcement to complete the investigation of the barber and the emperor without leaving a trace
of support.
Using everyone to help others is tantamount to teaching people to help themselves. This cannot be considered deception and exploitation - this is the fundamental principle of Fuji Society.
Even if people finally realize that Ultramarine is using them, they can't say anything because the behavior itself is justified by his status as an "Executive of Fuji Society".
This is the essence of Russell's operation, the highest level of perspective confusion and rhythm control:
It is not a decoration of the shell, nor a replacement of the core.
