#1769 - It's your own fault (my belly is fat again)

As the Tokyo Dome show came to an end, Inquisitor's popularity rose to a new level. After all, no one expected that the lead singer of this mysterious band would be a well-known national movie star!

It was also because of this that when Duanmu Huai attended the press conference after the performance for the first time, the reporters were almost busy asking Duanmu Huai all kinds of questions.

Of course, the main problems are the following.

Why did you form the band Inquisitor?

Because I'm a high school student, and don't all high school girls play in bands? What's so strange about playing in a band?

Why wear a mask?

If I reveal my identity directly, I won’t know whether the audience will come for me or for my music. Besides, I am confident enough that I can attract audiences even without showing my face. Hasn’t the facts proved this?

Do you have any plans to enter the music industry in the future?

No, we’ve sung enough, it’s almost time to disband.

Is Shirai Hiri related to you?

I've heard of it, but I don't know who it is. How can I have the time to be bored and post those things on the Internet?

Are you serious about disbanding?

Of course, I’m almost exhausted after running for this month, and I don’t want to be so tired again.

Facing Duanmu Huai's answer, the reporters were both angry and amused. However, they were all entertainment media reporters, and they knew that Duanmu Huai was indeed a lazy person. You know, he was so lazy that he only made one movie a year. It was indeed in line with Duanmu Huai's usual style to form a band on a whim and play by himself, and then call it a day when he felt it was too much trouble.

Of course, in the end Duanmu Huai also introduced the other four members of the band. After all, they were all going to disband, and there was no point in hiding their identities any longer.

Except for Hachiman Kairin, who is really unknown to everyone, the other three are celebrities at different levels. Kurokawa Akane is needless to say, and Toyokawa Shoko, as the daughter of the Toyokawa Group, is also well-known. Of course, the one that everyone is most surprised about is Wakaba Mutsu. After all, the audience's impression of Wakaba Mutsu is that she is the daughter of actress Mori Minami, who looks very cute, but they didn't expect that she can play the guitar well.

Duanmu Huai also praised Ruo Yemu for her good guitar playing, which completely opened up the musical path for Ruo Yemu. As for whether Ruo Yemu wants to follow this path in the future, it is up to her.

If anyone else were to disband such a popular band, it would definitely cause controversy and speculation, but after Duanmu Huai revealed everyone's identities, everyone was surprisingly able to accept it.

Everyone knows Duanmu Huai's personality. He is so lazy that he only makes one movie a year. It is simply wishful thinking to expect him to appear as frequently as a pop singer.

The same goes for Kurokawa Akane. She is a talented actress who won the Best Actress award and has a very good relationship with Duanmu Huai. It is understandable that she plays in a band with him, but it is obviously impossible to ask this talented actress to give up acting.

As for Toyokawa Shoko, she also explained to everyone openly that she had gained great experience from this band and would definitely apply it next time - as for when the next time would be, that had nothing to do with Duanmu Huai.

If she wants to act in a small drama again, she can find someone else to act in it.

Yawata Kailin took the opportunity to say at the press conference that she was a part-time bassist, advertising herself and saying that if there was a band that needed a bassist she could join…

Only Ruoye Mu's answer surprised everyone.

When the reporter asked Ruoye Mu whether he would take this opportunity to embark on the road of music and officially enter the entertainment industry, Ruoye Mu thought for a moment and gave the answer...

"I want to... run SPACE."

"???"

What is that?

Everyone was confused by Ruoye Mu's mysterious answer, and it was not until Duanmu Huai came out to explain that everyone knew that the band had bought a live house for sale in order to train. Everyone could only sigh that money really means you can do whatever you want.

Now that the band has disbanded, it is naturally impossible to use the place for training anymore, so Duanmu Huai has already talked to Ruoye Mu, who expressed his desire to run the LIVEHOUSE. So Duanmu Huai transferred SPACE to Ruoye Mu, and had someone from his own company take over the trusteeship.

If Ye Mu's statement was equivalent to directly placing an advertisement in the media, announcing to everyone that SPACE had reopened.

By the way, this news also caused quite a stir among the girl band.

After all, SPACE is a holy place for girl bands. They were all very sad when the previous owner closed the store due to health reasons. Now that SPACE is reopened, everyone is very excited. Not only that, this LIVEHOUSE is also the training ground for Inquisitor, so its legendary status is naturally deepened. In addition, the person who is currently running SPACE is Inquisitor's guitarist Mutsu Wakaba, and he is not an amateur who doesn't understand music, so everyone is also relieved.

Soon, SPACE became popular again. Not only that, it was also spread among girl bands that SPACE's boss Ruo Yemu had a special way of judging whether a band could perform on stage. She would see if the band could make the instrument sing by itself. If they could, they would be allowed to perform. If not, they would not be allowed to perform... Although it was very confusing and radio-like, it did become a legend.

Of course, this is all later.

The Inquisitor band has thus become a legend. It was established less than half a year ago, but it has reached a peak that many bands cannot reach in their lifetime. It has created a brand new language for singing and also provided a model. The 30 songs of the Inquisitor national tour are the best models. As long as they refer to them, people can create their own hymns.

Of course, the hymns they sang did not have the power like Duanmu Huai's. Revatiel of the Tower World was transformed by the Oil Man so that he could chant binary hymns to praise the Machine Soul. Duanmu Huai, as a god, naturally had influence.

As for the humans in this world... well, unless someone is gifted with a voice like Revatiel, their singing is just ordinary.

However, Duanmu Huai couldn't be sure that there was no such thing. After all, there were all kinds of things in this world. He had even seen people singing with their own remixes. God wouldn't talk to you about reason or logic. There were billions of people in this world, and maybe someone really could have a special voice like Revatiel's.

Although this can’t be called a good story… …but at least it’s not the kind of topic that would make people mourn or feel heartbroken.

At least the people are still there.

And Duanmu Huai's laziness and willfulness... well, everyone is used to it.

The outside world was in an uproar over the disbanding of Inquisitor, but Duanmu Huai didn't care about it at all. Whatever people said was none of his business. On the contrary, he excitedly found Kurokawa Akane, Freya and Norn and told them...

"The plan was successful, we can proceed to the next step!"

"Success? Really successful?"

Kurokawa Akane was somewhat surprised by Duanmu Huai's words. Frankly speaking, she didn't even feel that she had done anything. Apart from going on a national tour with Duanmu Huai, Kurokawa Akane didn't feel like she had done anything special. How did she succeed?

"That's right."

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers proudly.

"You still remember the farce of Shirai Shirai that happened earlier."

"Ah, well, I heard that......"

Kurokawa Akane had also heard Toyokawa Shoko mention this matter, but she was not that worried, so she didn't take it too seriously.

"What a coincidence, guess who that Shirai Shirai is?"

"Who is it?"

"Hehehe... that guy who can't be killed no matter what."

"Why?"

It must be said that the three of them were stunned when they heard Duanmu Huai's answer. Duanmu Huai also took this opportunity to explain the puberty syndrome in this world and its impact to the three of them.

"Puberty syndrome... I have heard of this rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Yes, Sakurajima Mai went through a similar situation before, and I helped her solve it."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Ah, so you and Mai have such a good relationship..."

Kurokawa Akane nodded in sudden realization. She had been curious about how Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai knew each other, but she didn't expect that they had this kind of relationship.

“Come to think of it, it did feel a bit strange at the time.”

Princess Nolen was now recalling thoughtfully.

"When the hero was singing, I didn't know why I felt that he was Shirai Ciri. This feeling disappeared only after the hero took off his mask. I was... No, now that I think about it, why did I have this thought?"

"Because many of the people who came to the scene were young people, and most of them believed that I was Shirai Hiri."

"Just because of this?"

Freya was also stunned.

"So what the brave man means is that because those people believe you are Shirai Shirai, you are Shirai Shirai? Is this puberty syndrome? Why does it feel like a curse..."

"Actually, it's not a bad curse, and if it weren't for me, the other party might have succeeded."

Duanmu Huai said this with a smug smile on his face.

That’s right, just as Duanmu Huai said, the culprit behind this Shirai Xili incident is the immortal star god.

At the beginning, Duanmu Huai didn’t think about it in this direction. It was not until his puberty syndrome was finally broken that he discovered the other party’s true identity.

The reason why the other party did this was very simple, that is, he wanted to transform himself into "Shirai Shiri", possess Duanmu Huai, and travel to this world.

Perhaps the other party also discovered that Duanmu Huai was not there, so he wanted to come here to look for clues, and that star god was obviously very familiar with the nature of this world.

If you think about it carefully now, you will find that there is no one in Shirai Shirai's video, only various landscapes and a female voice singing. For the audience who have watched this video, Shirai Shirai is an abstract, non-material symbol and noun. Just like the heroine in a novel, even if you describe her in words, as long as you don't give an illustration or a real-life image, the audience will only have a vague impression through imagination.

But how do we solidify this impression?

Of course, an entity is needed.

So the other party set their sights on Duanmu Huai.

It can be said that if Duanmu Huai was not Duanmu Huai, but anyone else, he would be affected by puberty syndrome and would admit that he was Shirai Hiri the moment he took off the mask.

And once she admits it, the puberty syndrome that has been confirmed will immediately rewrite the world, making that star god completely become the real Shirai Shirai in this world, rather than just an illusory term on the Internet.

In fact, its plan almost succeeded. You should know that Yanami and Chitanda were informed by Duanmu Huai before, but when Duanmu Huai gave them the tickets, the two reacted as if they didn't know that Duanmu Huai was the lead singer of Inquisitor. In fact, from that time on, the world has been gradually eroded by "Shirai Shirai", separating Duanmu Huai's identity from the identity of the lead singer of the Inquisitor band, trying to cut off the connection between the two, and then give "Shirai Shirai" a chance to exist.

Unfortunately, this unlucky guy chose the wrong target.

This is like a person who wants to catch a rabbit and then uses the rabbit as bait to catch a tiger. When he is ready to harvest the prey and opens the trap, he finds the tiger is waiting for him in the trap with its mouth wide open!

The result was that he was almost bitten to death by a tiger.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at the palm of his hand.

In fact, at that time, Duanmu Huai wanted to use puberty syndrome to devour the Star God.

After all, the Star God wanted to use puberty syndrome to make the existence of "Shirai Xili" devour "Duanmu Ai" and merge with it.

Then Duanmu Huai could naturally let the existence of "Duanmu Ai" devour "Shirai Xili" and merge into one with it the moment he took off the mask.

Shirai Xili is Duanmu Ai, Duanmu Ai is Shirai Xili, isn't this just a matter of order? I don't mind.

But the Star God minds!

So after realizing that he was about to be swallowed by Duanmu Huai, the other party decisively chose to cut off his tail and escape.

But how could Duanmu Huai let it go so easily?

I am one of the Old Ones. When it comes to spiritual pollution, the Old Ones claim to be second to none. Who dares to claim to be first?

Moreover, unlike the soul pollution in the subspace, Duanmu Huai's past is an erosion from the real level, which is naturally restraining the star gods.

At this moment, the other person might be rolling on the ground, crying and making a fuss.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's mouth curled up slightly and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Get ready. This time, we must get rid of this damn thing completely!"
