In a small room.
The silver-haired Ye Xing sat in front of the computer, looking up something, her gaze very focused.
The ghost girl floated back and forth beside her, very curious about what she was doing.
"Ye Xing, what are you doing?"
"Um, looking up information about divas."
"Why are you looking up this information?"
"Because I want to become a diva."
"Shocking! I never thought the super timid Ye Xing would want to become a diva?! Is the end of the world coming?!"
Aipal wore an expression of being stunned, even the ahoge on her head was shaking because of it.
Ye Xing shook her head and said, "There are things I must do, so I can't back down. If I retreat, no one will be able to change the situation."
"Um..."
Aipal heard the determination in Ye Xing's words.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she decided to support Ye Xing.
"Go for it! Aipal will support you!"
"Thank you."
At this moment, Ye Xing seemed to think of something.
If it was just theoretical knowledge, it might not be of much use. She needed to be taught by professionals.
And among the people she knew...
Then Ye Xing began to contact someone.
"Aipal, I want to go out for a while. I'll leave it to you to watch the house."
"Mm-hmm~ Be careful on the way."
......
In an unnamed restaurant, a blue-haired loli was waiting there, boredly stirring the drink on the table.
A moment later, a black-haired girl entered the restaurant and walked over after seeing her.
"Qinglin Mio, sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's nothing. Why did you message me to come?"
Since their last encounter, Qinglin Mio had exchanged contact information with Ye Xing.
She originally thought they wouldn't meet again so soon, but it turned out to be quite quick.
However, Qinglin Mio was a bit happy. It was rare for a friend with similar interests to invite her out. It was impossible not to be happy.
Of course, she wouldn't show it too obviously.
Ye Xing sat opposite Qinglin Mio and said seriously, "Qinglin Mio, do you know how to become a diva?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"Because I want to become a diva."
"Are you joking?"
"No, I'm serious."
Qinglin Mio saw the determination in Ye Xing's eyes and realized she really wasn't joking.
At this, Qinglin Mio couldn't help but look away.
"But you shouldn't be asking me. I'm not a diva..."
"Um..."
It seemed so. The future Qinglin Mio was a world diva, but now she was still just a little girl.
Then Qinglin Mio deliberately coughed.
"But... I really can't help it. Recently, I've been cramming all sorts of knowledge about divas. I know quite a bit. Ask whatever you want. There's nothing I don't know."
Actually, Qinglin Mio was also preparing to become a diva.
For this, she had been frantically cramming knowledge about divas during this time, and would likely put it into practice soon.
Of course, she didn't dare tell Ye Xing at all.
If she messed up, it would be really embarrassing.
"Thank you so much!" Ye Xing let out a breath.
"It's nothing..."
At this moment, Ye Xing seemed to think of something and suddenly asked.
"Qinglin Mio, do you have any favorite divas now?"
"No, the current diva industry is dead. There's no one who can hold up the stage at all. I can't find a diva worth supporting. If that's the case, I'll have to do it myself."
"I see."
"Is there a problem?"
"No, I believe you'll definitely do it."
Ye Xing thought that Qinglin Mio indeed didn't remember the existence of the Blank Diva.
Now her purpose for becoming a diva had changed because of this.
Before, she definitely had the idea of becoming a diva because she admired the Blank Diva, but now...
Forget it.
Ye Xing would find a way to restore everything to normal.
"By the way, why does Ye Xing want to become a diva?"
"Because I want to recreate someone's existence..."
"Eh? What do you mean?"
Ye Xing shook her head and replied, "It's nothing. To be honest, I want to have the identity of a diva, then sing a song and make it popular."
"I see... Having the identity of a diva is very simple. Just go to the Diva Association, pass a simple test, and register. But making a song popular... seems a bit difficult."
In this era of information explosion, it was very difficult to make a song popular.
The diva industry updated many works every day. Competing with these massive numbers of songs with a song by an unknown diva was like hitting a stone with an egg.
Of course, if the quality was good enough, there might be a chance.
Qinglin Mio thought for a moment and asked, "Ye Xing, can you sing?"
"I suppose I can..."
"That's good. If that's the case, let me take you to register for a diva identity first."
"Eh? So quickly?"
"Don't worry, it's very simple. I passed it on the first try when I went before."
Some lolis, huh, saying they're not divas with their mouths, but they've already secretly gone to register their identities.
I'm not saying who.
Ye Xing was immediately speechless.
Was there a possibility that it wasn't that the diva test was simple, but that Qinglin Mio's abilities were originally very impressive?
How could someone who could become a world diva have poor talent!
But at this point, she couldn't back down.
Be brave! Move forward!
In the blink of an eye.
Qinglin Mio brought Ye Xing to the Diva Association.
Ye Xing looked around curiously.
"By the way, when did you register your diva identity, Qinglin Mio?"
"Well... I was just curious and did it casually. Who knew I'd pass right away."
Actually, it wasn't like that. Qinglin Mio had come here very early.
It seemed she originally had the idea of becoming a diva, but she never said it out loud. If she was mocked, it would be terrible.
However, she had already forgotten her initial motivation for wanting to become a diva. It wasn't to become the face of the diva industry, but...
What was it exactly?
Qinglin Mio felt she had forgotten something very important, but couldn't remember.
A moment later, Qinglin Mio brought Ye Xing to find a staff member and pushed Ye Xing forward.
"Big sister, she wants to become a diva. Can you test her aptitude?"
"Oh? It's you, little genius. I've been waiting for you to become a popular diva. With such high talent, you can't slack off on practice."
The staff member was a very mature big sister, or should we say auntie?
Anyway, she was still charming, quite capable in all aspects.
The staff member saw the silver-haired girl beside Qinglin Mio and asked curiously, "Is this your friend? Does she also have the potential to become a diva?"
Ye Xing gathered her courage and stepped forward.
"Please let me try."
"Alright, then come with me. The test is very difficult. Having perfect pitch is just the minimum standard. I hope you can meet other standards, just like your friend."
The friend mentioned here referred to Qinglin Mio.
"I will do it." Ye Xing gathered her courage and walked into the testing room with the staff member.
......
A moment later, Ye Xing walked out calmly, followed by the staff member with a surprised expression.
"My goodness, how can these diva talents be more and more terrifying? It seems the diva industry should be on the rise."
The staff member sat at the computer and asked, "What name do you want to use? Every diva needs to choose a stage name, just like your friend's stage name is [Kiyomi]. Go ahead and tell me."
Ye Xing took a deep breath and softly uttered two words.
"Blank."
The staff member heard these two words and immediately input the information, successfully registering it.
Existence established.
From this moment on, Ye Xing was the Blank Diva!
And at this moment, Ye Xing's aura instantly changed, as if imbued with a different quality.
Qinglin Mio was slightly stunned, as if seeing someone's figure in her.
"Ye Xing, you..."
Ye Xing turned her head and smiled slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Um... I feel like you've become a different person."
"Maybe it's your imagination."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, now that we've finished registering the diva identity, let's go. I want you to listen to a song."
"Mm-hmm."
With that, the two lolis left the Diva Association.
The staff member who had tested Ye Xing's aptitude remained in a daze.
Ye Xing's aura just now had truly shocked her.
"My goodness, why do I feel like she could become the greatest diva in the world? Blank Diva? And Kiyomi Diva, these two are definitely prodigies of the diva world. They might become famous very soon."
Whatever the case, she was already prepared to become their first batch of fans.
If she heard news of their debut, she would definitely be the first to support them!
......
Night Watchers' Base.
Mo Tu walked out of his room, pondering some information in his mind.
On the way, he encountered Xiao Jin and others, finding them with furrowed brows.
Xiao Jin saw Mo Tu and stopped to ask, "Mo Tu, have you noticed the recent anomalies?"
Mo Tu raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking that as expected of Radiant Sun Night Watchers, they indeed wouldn't ignore such dissonance.
"I have noticed."
"Do you know more specific details?"
"It's unspeakable. If spoken, it must be known. That power won't allow her information to be leaked to the present world. Even if known, it might be forgotten again. My mind is already at its limit remembering this information. As for you all, it's better to just assist Ye Lan."
Hearing Mo Tu's words, Xiao Jin's expression became serious.
"Is it very serious?"
"Probably. If you trust me, don't inquire further."
"Mm, I understand."
Bai Yuan and Wang Chao beside him also nodded slightly, not intending to inquire further.
"But how should we assist Ye Lan?"
"Whatever she wants to do, just support her. You can use the Night Watchers' power to promote her goals."
"Mm, I understand."
Xiao Jin nodded thoughtfully, looking at Mo Tu again.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing. I like doing these interesting things."
Mo Tu revealed a pleased smile, making people feel he had some serious problem.
Then Xiao Jin and the others turned to leave, intending to contribute their meager efforts.
Mo Tu continued to wander around the base, planning to go out for a while.
And at this moment, he saw that black-haired loli again.
Her aura had changed slightly now.
When Mo Tu first saw her, he almost thought she had been possessed.
"This feeling..."
Familiar yet strange.
Is that so?
She had already begun to take action.
Then he couldn't fall behind.
At this time, Ye Lan also saw Mo Tu's figure and revealed a disdainful expression.
"Mo Tutu, are you wandering around here?"
Mo Tu chuckled.
"Why must you call me Mo Tutu?"
"Um, because the current you is really useless, even more of a mascot than me. So why not call you Mo Tutu?"
"That's very rude. Do you know how much it hurts a man's self-esteem to be called that?"
"Hmph, I don't care..."
She had initially thought of using Mo Tu as a tool.
Who knew the current him would be so useless?
So Ye Lan was a bit complaining.
"Ah..."
Mo Tu's mouth twitched.
"I've really never been looked down upon like this before. You know what? Once I get serious, there's nothing I can't know. Exceptional Star? Supernova Star Eclipse? Are there some things I can't be involved in? You're underestimating me too much."
"Eh?" Ye Lan was a bit surprised.
Because from Mo Tu's tone, he obviously knew something.
"You..."
However, Mo Tu didn't seem to want to continue speaking.
He just seemed to be enjoying Ye Lan's anxious expression.
Dare to speak in riddles to him? Dare to disdain him? Dare to give him a nickname?
Then Mo Tu would deliberately not say anything and laugh in his heart!
"Mo Tu, did you remember something?"
"Perhaps I did, perhaps I didn't. Just continue doing what you want to do. I'm going out for a while."
"Um..."
Ye Lan fell into thought.
Oh no, she didn't expect the 17-year-old Mo Tu to be so useful?
She thought this guy would be weaker the younger he was, but unexpectedly, the younger he was, the more motivated he became. His drive for action completely outstripped his abilities.
"Never mind, I'll just continue practicing singing. I must do this well!"
After cheering herself on, Ye Lan ran to a place where no one was around.
"Listen one more time..."
Ye Lan took out her earphones and put them on. That familiar song hadn't disappeared, preserved by the effect of the [Wish Machine].
This was the key to breaking the deadlock.
But this alone wasn't enough. Ye Lan was about to do something she had never done before.
For this, she was willing to muster her courage.
......
After coming outside, Mo Tu took a car to an uninhabited area.
This place was very desolate, and no one wanted to redevelop it. Over time, it became deserted.
So it was quite good as a hiding place.
Especially for those existences not accepted by society.
Such as criminals, villains, illegal workers, and so on.
And... more anomalous existences.
The atmosphere here was very eerie, giving a feeling of repelling life.
If ordinary people came here, they would definitely get goosebumps. Those with sensitive nerves would leave immediately, not daring to stay.
But Mo Tu was different.
The more anomalous it was, the more he wanted to delve deeper, just to find the target he was looking for.
Who knows how long he walked.
A faint singing voice reached Mo Tu's ears, extraordinarily pleasing to hear, stirring memories in his soul.
However, no matter how familiar it sounded, that power wouldn't let him remember.
The power of that caliber was indeed very strong. Mo Tu relied on his Star to forcibly know information he shouldn't know, but it was only temporary.
Perhaps he would forget again tomorrow, going round and round, he would only be forced out of the game.
But Mo Tu didn't accept such a result.
So, he came.
He came to find the Rising Sun Troupe hidden here!
Just as Mo Tu was about to continue forward, a gentle voice sounded.
"Sir, please stop here. No entry beyond this point."
