The backcourt of the stage is very large, and all the candidates for the Holy Maiden have already gathered here.
Candidates for Saint Girls are selected from all areas within the jurisdiction of [Free City] among the seven capitals. Only girls who pass the selection ceremony are eligible to enter [Free City Academy].
But even so, not every girl who enrolls in the Holy Maiden Class can participate in the Holy Maiden Ceremony... Some, until graduation, still do not have the chance to participate in this ceremony.
“Strictly speaking, the competition for the title of Saint Maiden is actually very fierce, right?”
As the first-year students who accompany the runners, they feel extremely uncomfortable facing the stage they are about to take on... The instructors of the college are currently doing ideological work for these first-year freshmen.
The number of people participating in the Holy Maiden Ceremony this time is far greater than before, but in fact many of them are people from higher levels who were temporarily recruited to fill up the number.
As the tutor of the academy, I know the inside story of some rituals.
Resurrection Day is ahead. Looking at the group of freshmen girls with various emotions in front of them, the instructors of the college can only try their best to comfort and encourage them.
As for the girls who already have previous experience, the instructor feels that they can feel a little more at ease.
What surprised the instructor was that there seemed to be quite a few strange faces appearing at this ceremony. Well...are there actually these students in the academy?
She had actually read some information about these unfamiliar faces, but the information contained only simple personal information, and finally the identity of the transfer students, and the unfamiliar girls were not under her leadership.
This made the instructor have to think that the problems among the shareholders within the academy were just this kind of problem, and it was not something she could intervene in.
This college instructor actually saw the appearance of an acquaintance.
“Are you... Celine?”
“Ah…it’s Teacher Kita.”
"You're finally here!" Teacher Jita, who leads the first-year Saint Maidens at the academy, couldn't help but feel excited. "I heard that you didn't participate in the parade this year because of your sponsor... I didn't expect that you could be here.
See you! Are you okay, Celine? You have been out of school for a long time, but there is no news at all. What happened? "
"Various... and some personal reasons." Sister Selien seemed not to want to discuss this issue too much, so she quickly said: "I will work hard tonight."
"You can do it." Jita patted Sister Selien's shoulder, "You have always worked harder than anyone else. I believe that many people are waiting for you to come back. You can pick yourself up again,
This is something I am happy to see! Tonight, perform well! You actually don’t have many opponents tonight."
Sister Celine shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Mentor, if you say this, it would be very unfair to the new students. I think every girl who can be selected is the best."
“I am the one who leads the students, and I know it well... What they need is experience. But what we need on tonight’s stage is you.”
Those who were unfortunately unsuccessful in the last session... Sister Selien was slightly startled, and subconsciously searched for those competitors from the previous session backstage.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Where's Yulia? I feel like I haven't seen her all this time."
"I didn't see it either." Instructor Jita shook her head: "The rehearsal has obviously started, but she hasn't appeared yet... But this child is always very timely, and she is also very good. She came back as a
Your biggest competitor, just look forward to her appearance."
“Teacher, I’m going to change my clothes first.” Sister Selien nodded.
"Go, I'm looking forward to you too!" Teacher Jita smiled kindly, then clapped her hands and lectured the new girls again, "Okay, what you just saw is Selien, the last Saint
Fifth place in the Maiden Ceremony! In the future, there will be many opportunities to get to know each other. Now, listen to me carefully... Remia, what are you looking at? At this time, are you still distracting yourself? "
Among the girls who were scolded, the girl Remia was immediately startled and quickly corrected her gaze... However, she still glanced to the side quietly and suspiciously.
It’s just that I can’t see it anymore.
That back figure that I seem to have seen somewhere... seems to be Dashu's back?
But how is this possible? This is the backstage of the Saint Maiden Candidates. There is no way Dashu will appear here!
…
"so close……"
At this time, [Daphne] was stuck behind the wall, showing a wry smile. Not only did she have to maintain her current appearance so that no one would notice her, but she also couldn't even make Remia recognize her. What an epic level of difficulty this was!
She... He wasn't even ready for the performance he was going to perform on stage, but when he saw the number he had drawn on the stage, [Daphne] was no longer in the mood to complain.
Advertising,【app】is really good and worth installing. After all, you can cache and read books and read aloud offline!
“Is the third one about to come on stage...”
“Are you…Daphne?”
At this moment, [Daphne] heard a relatively familiar voice. He looked over subconsciously and instantly recognized the girl in front of him, "Clary, why are you...are you also a candidate for the Holy Maiden?
"
Didn’t she say that she was not a student in the academy... Sure enough, it was just a lie?
"I... I'll give it a try." The maid at Rose Mansion simply responded, "I... I'll go to the dressing room first. Goodbye."
The little maid hurriedly walked away from [Daphne].
【Daphne】I just felt that the Clary I met today was a little more worried than the last time I met her in the academy. "She seemed to be worried about something... Is there nothing wrong?"
【Daphne】's nose suddenly moved, and he sniffed forward subconsciously, "This fragrance seems to be from just now..."
At this time, a sharp scream suddenly sounded in the background!
【Daphne】hurriedly rushed out from the corner, and saw a girl in full dress. Her face was pale at this time, and she covered her mouth with fear on her face.
“Fa…what happened?”
"Death, death... dead people! dead people!!"
In an instant, the entire backstage makeup mirror used by the Saint Maiden candidates fell into deathly silence... Everyone was subconsciously looking at the panicked girl.
This girl should be the second one to appear.
…
…
“Hurry... put the people down quickly! Hurry... get the people here quickly!”
In the dim video hall, the lights were still shining on the stage. The girl, whose body was wrapped with ribbons and lowered down, showed a strange posture at this time, with her legs spread in a straight line.
, hands raised high, as if crossing... This is a classic jumping movement in ballet.
However, the girl's head hung down strangely.
There was a silver dagger stuck in her heart, and blood was dripping along the dagger.
In an instant, everyone at the judges' table stood up one after another, looking at the girl hanging in the air with indescribably...different expressions.
“What are you doing in a daze? Move quickly and put the person down!” The director’s voice immediately sounded, and in an instant several stage staff ran out in panic from both sides.
"You can't put it down!" At this moment, the male assistant of Lord Durand hurried out and shouted to several staff members to stop it, "You can't put it down, you will destroy the evidence at the scene."
“This...but?”
"If anything happens, I will take responsibility!" The male assistant gritted his teeth at this time, "From now on, no one can come even half a step closer to the dance! I will contact the investigator from the Public Security Department immediately. Before that..."
As he said that, the male assistant looked at everyone present. Under great pressure, he looked at the celebrities and bigwigs of [Free City], "Before this, I hope everyone here will...
Don’t leave the recording hall...and everyone backstage!”
After the major judges got over the initial shock, they quickly calmed down.
They didn't even say anything, they sat down in silence.
They all know that what Durand’s assistant did is the most correct. If it were them, they would probably handle it in the same way.
It’s just that the death of the Saint Maiden candidate on the stage has a huge impact, especially at this time before Resurrection Day.
“It’s okay to stay here, but who will lower the curtain on the stage? I don’t want to stare at a corpse all the time...or be stared at by it!” One of the judges frowned at this time.
"You can't move, and the curtain can't be lowered!" The male assistant said bravely again: "Nothing on the scene can be moved... If you feel it's inappropriate, you can turn around."
"Hmph... forget it." The judge who spoke muttered, then turned his face to the other side, "Hurry up and call the people from the Sheriff's Department! Do you have to wait until tonight?"
The male assistant nodded with an ugly expression, and then took out the phone. But instead of calling the investigator of the Public Security Department, he directly dialed the number of Lord Durand... He was frightened.
The reason why I was so frightened was that the girl who died on the stage in a strange manner was Mr. Durand’s niece... In addition, the girl was also one of the most popular in this ceremony and had a lot of support.
Those who have a great chance to compete for the top three candidates in this Holy Maiden Ceremony.
…
“You don’t seem to be scared at all?” Miss Isabel asked abruptly next to Boss Luo: “You’re not even surprised.”
Boss Luo blinked at this time and said, "Because I just suffered from facial neuritis."
“What is that?” Miss Isabel frowned subconsciously.
“Generally speaking, it means [facial paralysis].” Boss Luo blinked again.
Miss Isabel was startled, and then she chuckled... When Miss Isabel smiled coquettishly, the ripples in front of her body trembled abnormally, "So you can also joke?"
Boss Luo will still be a bit naughty from time to time. This is due to the cheerful part of his personality. It has only become more obvious since he collected the [inheritance] in the central tower of the Undersea City.
“Miss Isabel is not the same, she doesn’t look very scared either.”
"I'm scared." Isabel squinted her eyes at this time, "My heartbeat is very fast, very fast, and my palms are also cold. I think I need some warmth...my hands, my heart."
Boss Luo casually gave out a blanket, which was prepared at each seat.
Isabel chuckled lightly at this time, and didn't care. She picked up the blanket and put it on her body... She even adjusted her sitting position. It seemed that she had changed to a more comfortable position to look at the body hanging on the stage.
Girl's body on the bed.
She suddenly said: "She is very beautiful, isn't she... just like a swan with spread wings."
“A dead swan?” Boss Luo blinked again.
Miss Isabel immediately rolled her eyes, her negative emotion was -10086, and her favorability remained unchanged for the time being.
"Her name is Hua Ying." She said abruptly: "She is a graduate. This ceremony is the last one she can participate in. This child has always been very active and worked hard in my sacred ritual class.
But, she always lacks some luck."
“What a pity?” Boss Luo suddenly asked.
But Isabel shook her head, as if lazily, "There is no pity. She can die on the stage she loves, and her soul may even return to stay here forever... For her, it may be a
A lucky thing?"
Boss Luo said: "According to the Kingdom of Holy Light, after a person dies, his soul will fall into the arms of the Lord."
"It's like saying that you yourself are not from the Kingdom of Holy Light." Isabel gently held her chin, her eyes filled with indulgence, and the kind of want that she wanted but couldn't seem to get...even more.
The desire to get.
She suddenly stood up and walked directly to the door of the entrance and exit passage to the side without saying hello.
The male assistant of Lord Durand hurriedly stepped forward, "Miss Isabel, where are you going? You can't leave this video hall yet."
“Put on some makeup.” She chuckled and said, “And solve some physical problems. If I can’t leave... Do you want to help me solve this physical problem?”
"Miss Isabel, please... please don't embarrass me." The male assistant had a bitter look on his face.
The judges in this video hall all have great backgrounds... Not to mention offending them, if these people really get tough, he really won't be able to suppress them.
“It’s you who are embarrassing me now.” Isabel said casually: “Let me be in front of so many people.”
But he really couldn't set this precedent, otherwise the other judges might leave here for other reasons... When he was in trouble, the door to the video hall opened.
The managers of the seven capitals walked in one by one.
Mr. Durand, the lord of [Free City], was the first to bear the brunt. He was seen running quickly towards the stage, with a sad look on his face... He was in front of the stage, silently looking at the girl in mid-air, and was silent for a while.
Then, Durand looked around and spoke in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to leave here until the investigation is completed... No matter how prominent your status is, I said so!"
"Lord Durand, please calm down." University scholar Calvin slowly opened his eyes and said calmly: "We will fully cooperate with your investigation, but please don't mess up."
"I know." The city lord took a deep breath, and then ordered: "From now on, not only this stage, but also the inside of this venue is temporarily closed, and everyone must be carefully checked!"
“No need to go to such trouble.”
At this moment, a calm voice sounded... Among the managers of Qidu, a young man slowly walked out with his hands behind his back.
The managers of the Seven Capitals all remained humble around this young man...with their heads slightly lowered.
“Lord Langdu?” Lord Durand opened his mouth at this time.
The young man... Angel Langdu waved his hand, "I said, don't bother... Soon, I will know who the murderer is. Use my eyes to see clearly for you."
Speaking, Angel Langdu walked directly to the stage.
With a wave of his hand, the hanging girl's body instantly fell down and hit the stage, making a dull crashing sound.
The face of Lord Durand changed slightly, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Angel Langdu walked directly onto the stage at this time, came to the side of the girl's body, casually stretched out his hand, and a touch of golden light slowly emanated from his palm.
“As long as you look at her destiny diary, you can know what happened before her death.” Angel Langdu said calmly.
The managers of the Seven Capitals nodded secretly. This is indeed the fastest and most effective method... but only the Supremes and their envoys can do this method.
The palms of Angel Langdo’s hands continued to shine.
However, a long time passed, and Angel Langdo's palms were still shining... He also stood still.
"Sir Langdu?" Lord Durand on the side couldn't help but asked: "Already, are you ready?"
I saw Angel Langdu retracting his palm with an expressionless expression.
He began to ponder.
Everyone was looking forward to seeing him, all their eyes were focused on him... Angel Langdo was still pondering.
How should I tell this group of people that the girl’s destiny system can no longer be opened?
This is very embarrassing...
The angel continued to ponder at this time, Emmmmm...
