In the lounge behind the stage, a petite girl with dark red hair sat in front of the dressing mirror. She stared at herself in the mirror, her fingers trembling nervously.
"Calm down, this is not the first time you have performed on stage. You have tried so many times in the practice room before. How can a guitarist run away?"
The girl clenched her fists, but the more she acted like this, the more she couldn't calm down. She looked at the guitar box beside her, pressed the lock, and with a snap, the box opened. What was inside was not a guitar, but a pile of dismantled parts. From the parts that came down, only she knew that these inconspicuous things could be assembled into an extremely powerful weapon.
"You're looking at this stuff again."
Suddenly a girl's voice came from behind. Her soft hand gently placed on the girl's shoulder: "Are you too nervous?"
"It's okay, don't worry about me."
"You're too brave, Hongdou. You don't need to force yourself into this situation. It's just a performance. Just perform normally. Who would have thought that our fearless guitarist would also be scared sometimes."
The girl didn't care about Hongdou's protest at all and stroked her long crimson hair: "You always said that you won't be nervous when you see these things. They used to be an indispensable part of you, right? You never wanted to tell us Talking about its past, can you confess now?"
Hongdou put his finger on a short stick in the box, and the cold touch awakened the long-standing memory in his heart: "That was all in the past. I once had a black-hearted boss. He was always exploiting me and had to hold it every day. Weapons to fight and destroy those Originium Insects."
"You said he was a black-hearted boss and why are you still following him?"
Hongdou smiled and shook his head: "You know, I am a Sakaz. In many places, the treatment of Sakaz people is much worse than that of other races. I used to think so too. When I meet someone who is willing to take me in, That’s good, just bear with it if you have any grievances, so I picked up the weapon and fought desperately for him, fighting those monsters, and I didn’t even have time to practice guitar.”
"Of course it's not without its benefits. My combat level has improved very quickly. In addition, the Sakaz people are extremely talented. Basically, I won't fall behind in every battle. My salary is much higher than that of my companions who can't attack. Black-hearted boss He never defaulted on his wages, and even if he was unbearably tired sometimes, he would not be punished if he lost his temper, so my life went on like this, and I also bought a new musical instrument."
As Hongdou spoke, a relaxed smile filled her face. She was clearly talking about a tragic past that was oppressed, but it became a past that she could never let go of.
"You seem to like him very much. You don't seem to be exploited at all... Don't do anything. I was wrong. You can continue talking."
Hongdou retracted his hand, glared at his companion, and said angrily: "That was all in the beginning. Later, when a crazy woman with a hammer came, I rarely attacked. I could only burn discs at the processing station. I have to work at least ten hours every day, and sometimes I can rest for more than ten days in a row. Sometimes I wonder, why does the black-hearted boss want so many CDs? Is he going to change his career to selling? Everyone who sells in Longmen is arrested. Go into the bureau."
"Then you were fired by him? You went to the infected community to form a band and tour the world. I was really shocked by you at first."
Hongdou snorted and said bitterly: "That damn guy, he promised me one thing, promised everyone to go to Xista for vacation together, but I packed all the luggage, but he suddenly disappeared, why We couldn’t find him. We searched for him for a long time and even went to a nearby mobile city to post a missing person notice. It was as if he had disappeared from the world. No one was alive or dead, but no body."
"I understand, you're on tour just to find him?"
"I didn't go there just to find him!" Hongdou closed the box hard and stood up suddenly. The terrifying momentum made the girl behind him take several steps back.
"He is just a bastard, a scumbag, and an unscrupulous boss. Why should I find him! If I find him, I will definitely poke a few transparent holes in him!"
"Wow, do you really hate him so much? You can't forgive him at all? What if he left you for some unavoidable reason?"
Hongdou was silent for a moment, as if she didn't hear the problem in her companion's words. She rubbed her face and her words became slurred: "I don't know, I can't forgive him anyway. Miss Ayyafala's eyes are swollen from crying." She said that if he dies, she will complete the remaining research work for him. Even if she dies of illness outside, she will never want to return to the place where she is sad. It will be too late for me to chase her."
"Hey, who is Eyjafala, a scholar-type girl who works in research? How much debt does the person you mentioned owe?"
Hongdou picked up his guitar and walked out while saying angrily: "No matter! No matter! If he still has some conscience and can show up at the scene today, then I will forgive him, at least I won't stab him with a spear!"
But Hongdou also knew in her heart that it was impossible. How could someone who everyone tried so hard to find suddenly appear in front of her? He also said that he was secretly happy about the swimsuit he bought for himself for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't get it. He ran away easily, and now he doesn't know where in the world he is living happily.
Hey, he's just a black-hearted scumbag, don't worry about it at all, don't take it to heart at all.
Watching Hongdou walk out of the lounge, the girl standing there had her eyebrows lowered and she was talking happily, but why could she not forget it in her heart? Poor man who talks what he means.
…
"Next, we will usher in a brand new group. Their heavy metal rock music has been praised by Sunset. You strong and unyielding people, play your music. Here, you are the real masters of the stage!"
The first low-pitched music sounded, and the soul-stirring tones shook the souls of every audience present. Four girls with different shapes appeared on the stage in the mist, and immediately grasped the rhythm of the audience.
"They are all infected!"
There was a sudden shout from the crowd, and the crowd that had been dancing to the music started to commotion. There was an inevitable disconnect with the rock rhythm on the stage.
Zhou Jinru was huddled in a corner, drinking free drinks and listening to music. When that cry came out, he couldn't help but sigh. There really was someone at the scene who knew how to set the pace. Those who opposed the infected would not let anyone criticize the infected. opportunity, but these people must have never seen a real rhythm master...
Putting down the drink bottle in his hand, Zhou Jinru suddenly stood up and turned on his talent. Suddenly, the emotions of the people around him gathered like streams and turned into an endless river, while his sanity was also steadily declining.
"No problem, it's okay to hold on for ten minutes. Emotional guidance. To put it bluntly, it's just about setting the rhythm. Opportunities are reserved for those who know how to cheat..."
