Without realizing it, Qinglin Mio began walking together with Ye Xing.
Qinglin Mio started to open up and chat with Ye Xing, sharing some of her stories.
Ye Xing kept giving her advice from the side, like a dog-headed loli strategist.
Thus, under Ye Xing's lead, Qinglin Mio kept following her, gradually approaching the central stage area.
"Mm~ Anyway, I think your approach isn't wrong. If you're bullied, just strike back hard! At worst, work hard in secret, then surprise everyone!" Ye Xing mumbled.
Qinglin Mio quickly covered her mouth.
"Wait, where have you brought me?"
She had been talking the whole time, completely unaware that she was following Ye Xing. Only after coming to her senses did she realize they had walked quite far.
Ye Xing blinked her eyes innocently, removing Qinglin Mio's hand.
"Ah~ This is near the central stage."
"Why did you bring me here? The Blank Diva's concert is already over."
"I don't know, I just found myself here after coming to my senses."
"Ah, this...? You're really hopeless."
Qinglin Mio sighed, not wanting to blame Ye Xing anymore.
It just meant a longer journey home, but this amount of time didn't matter.
It had been over an hour since the Blank Diva's concert ended, and there were very few people around.
At this moment, a tall figure passed by them, then slowly stopped.
"Oh?"
Ye Xing and Qinglin Mio noticed the stranger who had stopped not far from them, both expressing confusion.
The man turned his head, revealing an evil smile.
"Oh? Look what I've found? Two lone Star bearers, and little girls at that. This way, I can take them back for the boss to research, hehehe..."
Hearing the man's eerie laughter, Ye Xing and Qinglin Mio quickly got goosebumps.
Bad guy!
This guy is definitely a bad guy!
The man flexed his fingers, his gaze extremely aggressive, seemingly about to act and capture the two.
"With my strength, I'm afraid I can't take back that Blank Diva, but I should be able to handle you two research materials."
"Mm..."
Ye Xing understood.
This guy was probably a subordinate of those evil researchers.
Those researchers wanted to obtain more Star bearers for research, so they would look for isolated targets without much danger as subjects.
And now, Ye Xing and Qinglin Mio were the perfect targets!
From his words, he probably wanted to take back the Blank Diva, but lacked confidence in his abilities, so he targeted two lolis with Stars, intending to take them back to complete his task.
It should be like this.
Oh no, they've really been targeted by a bad guy!
But it's not a problem at all. Even if she can't fight, Ye Xing can still run. After all, she has Divine Speed B, and she's very good at running away. Even carrying Qinglin Mio wouldn't be an issue at all.
However, to Ye Xing's surprise, Qinglin Mio stepped forward, her expression becoming extremely sarcastic.
"Oh my, look what I've found? Is it trash that society doesn't need? Actually targeting two helpless little girls, have you perhaps lost your pride and dignity as a man? Or did you never have such things to begin with? I don't know why someone like you can still live in society, only occupying resources, making rice more expensive. In my opinion, you should voluntarily go to prison for labor reform for a few decades. I don't expect you to become a new person, after all, scum like you, no matter how much you change, are still things society doesn't need."
Qinglin Mio's wave of poisonous tongue output stunned Ye Xing!
No wonder Qinglin Mio always felt that her words often hurt others' hearts. Who would have thought it was to this degree of poisonous tongue?
However, when facing her, Qinglin Mio didn't speak so harshly.
Indeed, the identity of a loli is quite nice.
If Qinglin Mio had said similar things to her, Ye Xing would probably have run away in tears.
Under Qinglin Mio's harsh and poisonous tongue, the expression of the man opposite changed from stunned to gloomy.
"I've decided, after I catch you, I'll smash your mouth."
Feeling the terrifying aura from him, Qinglin Mio couldn't help but take half a step back, somewhat intimidated.
The guy in front of her seemed truly dangerous, not just an ordinary criminal.
At this moment, Ye Xing grabbed Qinglin Mio's hand.
"Run nanoda!"
By the time Qinglin Mio reacted, she was already being pulled along by Ye Xing.
The surrounding environment constantly flashed past her eyes, the speed very fast.
The man who was about to act stared blankly at the two girls who had already run far away.
"Damn... So it's this kind of Star? Completely uncatchable. Forget it, I'll let them go for now."
The man spat out a mouthful of saliva in frustration, his heart still full of displeasure.
Being scolded so harshly by that girl, it was really hard to calm down without doing something.
"Hmph, forget it, I'll go meet up with them and think about how to snatch the Blank Diva from the Night Watchers' hands."
The man turned to leave.
But at this moment, he suddenly sensed a bizarre aura behind him.
The man quickly turned around, only to find a black-haired man wearing a mask standing behind him.
"Who are you?"
"Blank Diva... Blank Diva... You just... mentioned the Blank Diva, right?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"If you also want to capture the Blank Diva... then for me, you're a competitor. Killing competitors in advance will make things much easier..."
"Huh?"
Just as the man was about to say something, he suddenly felt intense pain in his back!
Squelch!
A shadow spike suddenly protruded from the ground behind the man, piercing through his back and out through his chest.
"You...!"
The man looked at the black shadow spike protruding from his chest in disbelief, completely stunned.
Then the spike disappeared, and the man's body fell to the ground, never to make another sound.
The black-haired assassin, now transformed into a Star Eclipse, let out a stuttering laugh.
"Hehe... he... hehe..."
After doing this, the black-haired assassin sank into the ground, heading towards the next area.
Near the central stage area, a group of people were waiting for the Blank Diva to leave the stage dome.
As long as they waited near the exit, they could find an opportunity to act.
Even with Night Watchers around, there was no need to worry.
Although their combat power wasn't as good as the Night Watchers', they had many high-tech weapons.
Those Night Watchers were essentially still human, and as long as they were human, they could definitely be harmed by weapons.
With these powerful weapons, they could contend with the Night Watchers.
"I heard that all those who went in to assassinate the Blank Diva were completely wiped out."
"Laughable, going in there is equivalent to not being able to bring any weapons, and there are many Night Watchers inside. Isn't going in just walking into a trap?"
"Assassins entering an enclosed space is simply seeking death."
"They probably had confidence in their concealment techniques. The assassination syndicate is a well-known organization of old sneaks in the industry, everyone's afraid of being caught off guard by them."
"Of course, if a powerful assassin targeted you, you probably wouldn't talk like this."
"Laughable, my head isn't worth that much."
The group laughed heartily, completely unaware that a pitch-black, deadly shadow had already surrounded the entire area.
The black-haired assassin appeared silently behind everyone, revealing a bizarre smile.
"Die!"
Black shadows brought darkness.
By the time everyone reacted, these terrifying dark substances had already launched their attack.
Bang!
Squelch!...
A large amount of blood splattered, mixing on the ground.
Screams and shrieks rang out continuously.
In a short time, everyone here was completely wiped out, with no one able to escape.
Seeing this, the black-haired assassin moved on to the next area, continuing to act according to instinct.
This was his former principle of action.
If there were other competitors for the same task, he would assassinate these competitors in advance, in order to gain the maximum benefit!
This principle only became more terrifying after he became a Star Eclipse.
He would assassinate all nearby competitors!
Only after completing this would he go to find the Blank Diva!
Inside the Night Watchers' base.
Mo Tu, who was leisurely scrolling through his phone, paused and slightly raised his eyes.
Just now, the [Star-Knower] had reacted.
This proved that a Star Eclipse had been born.
But it wasn't the Blank Diva.
It was probably some slightly inferior Star Eclipse, not at all requiring Radiant Sun Night Watchers to take action. The Night Watchers near the central stage could handle it.
Moreover, what surprised him was that this Star Eclipse was actually helping to clear out those who wanted to capture the Blank Diva, which was somewhat problematic.
However, if he divined seriously, he could quickly know the reason.
"This is good too, interesting."
......
At the central stage.
Bai Yuan, who was waiting for the Blank Diva to remove her makeup, received news that a Star Eclipse had appeared nearby, also targeting the Blank Diva.
"Strange, why would a Star Eclipse target the Blank Diva? Could its obsession be related to the Blank Diva?"
Bai Yuan thought oddly.
But this wasn't important. If that Star Eclipse dared to come, he would just freeze it directly.
There was no need to consider too much.
In the dressing room.
Blank was about to change out of her performance outfit. Once this was done, she could return with Ye Lan and the others.
Ye Lan was secretly watching from behind, her face occasionally showing a blushing shyness, as if doing something naughty.
After all, who could imagine that inside a little loli's body resided the soul of the opposite sex?
As for turning around?
Completely unnecessary!
Peeking should be done openly and righteously!
If one betrayed one's inner desires, that would be too lame!
Fortunately, now she was a little loli, so there was no pressure in peeking at a girl changing clothes.
Bai Tu beside Ye Lan stared at her in confusion.
"Why... is Ye Lan so happy?"
"Because the scene before us is an exquisite image, you wouldn't understand!"
Ye Lan spoke in the tone of an old hand, leaving the pure Bai Tu bewildered.
Bai Tu really couldn't think of what was so exquisite about a girl changing clothes.
If Ye Lan liked watching, then she could change clothes for Ye Lan to watch too.
That's what Bai Tu thought.
At this moment, Ye Lan, who was staring at Blank's back, suddenly noticed something unusual.
She found that Blank's existence was flickering, sometimes strengthening, sometimes weakening, like a light bulb about to burn out.
What was going on?
"Um... Blank?"
"Hm? Is something wrong?"
Blank turned her head, smiling at Ye Lan.
Ye Lan now found that Blank's existence had returned to normal, as if the earlier anomaly had been her illusion.
But, was it really like that?
Ye Lan rubbed her eyes, staring intently at Blank's figure.
It seemed... indeed there was no anomaly.
"Mm, it's nothing."
"That's good."
"Wait, do you feel any discomfort in your body? Or any anomalies with your Star?"
"Anomalies? I don't know, but there is one change. Originally, I could sense if someone mentioned me, but now, I can sense in which direction someone is mentioning my existence."
"Has the Star characteristic upgraded?"
Ye Lan remembered Xiao Jin saying this was a Star characteristic.
Blank shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but this characteristic is of no use to me at all. After all, I'm a diva. My supporting fans are all over the world, and people are mentioning my existence all the time. Now I sense that people are mentioning me from all directions, but fortunately, it's just a small sensation."
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"That's good."
Ye Lan let out a breath.
At this time, Blank was also ready.
"Alright, let's go. Now that the concert has successfully concluded, we'll return to the Night Watchers' base. I can sing a few songs for the Night Watchers, though I don't know if Mr. Xiao Jin will allow me to do so."
"Mm, I think he will."
"I hope so."
Blank walked out of the dressing room with Ye Lan and Bai Tu.
Then, under the protection of a group of Night Watchers, Blank left the central stage and came outside.
But as soon as they came out, a shadow with a dangerous aura rushed over.
"Blank! Diva!!"
"Hmph!"
Bai Yuan stepped forward, ice dust spreading, instantly freezing the ground in front of him, along with those rushing black shadows.
All the Night Watchers had already prepared, ready to deal with this Star Eclipse targeting the Blank Diva.
The black-haired assassin was repelled to a far distance by Bai Yuan's cold ice.
When he stopped, the three of them finally recognized him.
"Oh my! This is the assassin who ambushed us at the stage yesterday! Has he actually become a Star Eclipse?"
Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes.
"Now it seems that death probably caused his Star to anomaly, thus becoming a Star Eclipse."
Ye Lan expressed confusion.
"Why did he die?"
As soon as she said this, Ye Lan quickly thought of something.
Could it be that the Troupe Leader killed him?
Ye Lan was shocked!
Because in her impression, the Troupe Leader had never killed anyone.
Even when going out to perform, the most serious consequence was only causing Star Eclipse contamination in people, not taking lives.
But now the Troupe Leader had actually killed an assassin!
This gave Ye Lan an idea, breaking her stereotypical impression of the Troupe Leader.
So... this old gentleman who loves performing, actually kills people too?
Perhaps it's not just the Troupe Leader.
The Gentleman, the Deceiver, they might kill people too.
Thinking about it now, the people of the Rising Sun Troupe were indeed terrifying.
She wondered if it was a good thing for her Ye Xing to be in that dangerous troupe?
