#1775 - Seeking help (ceramic jars are all fake these days)

For the students of Shengxiang Conservatory of Music, when they open their eyes, they face a day full of torture.

When the two students from Zwings were taking classes, they were all very excited. After all, they were world-renowned idol stars and their goals. They also hoped that one day they could be on stage like Zwings and become the center of attention.

However...Duanmu Huai and Heikawa Akane are another matter.

It was not a target at all, but completely out of reach, like the sun. They were like fireflies, perhaps able to emit a little light in the dark night. But when the sun was in the sky, the scorching and dazzling light was enough to completely devour them.

If fireflies have never seen the sun, the moon is also a good target.

But after seeing the sun...it's a completely different story.

Especially since Duanmu Huai had no intention of letting them go after that.

"I don't care."

Duanmu Huai sat on the chair with an indifferent expression.

"If you think we are not suitable, just replace us or find a few who are worthy of us. It's that simple."

“……………………”

Feng Ming Xian Ju Lang was speechless, and the other students also had ugly expressions. Duan Mu Huai's words meant very clearly, if you want to play house, then replace us. But if you want us to play, you must match our level. We will not lower our standards and status to play house with you, so you have to think about it.

Feng Ming Genjuro cast a look of help towards Kurokawa Akane, but in response to his gaze, Kurokawa Akane just clasped his hands together and smiled apologetically. She knew why Duanmu Huai did this, and it was actually just laziness. After all, no matter how you look at it, it is obviously easier to get rid of the two of them than to let others keep up with their level.

If Feng Ming Genjuro gave in now, Duanmu Huai wouldn't have to perform in this crappy opera.

Not to mention that he didn't like the script in the first place.

"……………………"

In fact, just as Duanmu Huai said to Kurokawa Akane, Fengming Genjuro arranged the two to come to Shengxiang Music College, which was itself an attempt to gain dominance. After all, as long as Duanmu Huai and Kurokawa Akane were enrolled, they would be students here. The organization was the initiator of this school, and Fengming Genjuro was also the person in charge. So he could naturally take the lead from Duanmu Huai and Kurokawa Akane with this identity.

Then you can slowly and subtly negotiate and communicate with the other party - but at least in this way, the initiative is on your side.

However, what Fengming Genjuro did not expect was that Duanmu Huai not only saw through his thoughts, but even turned the tables on him.

If he moved Duanmu Huai and Heichuan Akane out, the initiative would be transferred to the other party. At that time, it would become that his organization would have to cooperate with them, instead of the other way around.

But if he insisted on keeping the two, it would be tantamount to admitting that the others could not keep up with them in terms of acting skills, which would be a serious blow to these girls. After all, these two girls were just outsiders, and his students were the warriors who would fight side by side with them in the future to eliminate Noise.

If I lose confidence in them, it will have an immeasurable impact on the future development of this organization...

Feng Ming Genjurō was silent for a moment, then sighed silently, forced a smile and looked at the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

Then he spoke.

"It seems that I did misjudge your strength... This is my oversight, please forgive me."

As he spoke, Feng Ming Genjurō stood up, bowed his head heavily to the two of them, and bowed to apologize.

Seeing Feng Ming Xian Ju Lang's attitude, the students were a little uneasy. Duanmu Huai just glanced at them and continued to stare at Feng Ming Xian Ju Lang without saying anything. Then, Feng Ming Xian Ju Lang said what Duanmu Huai wanted to hear.

"I'll choose someone else to join the performance."

"Um."

Duanmu Huai nodded without saying anything more. At the same time, Fengming Xianjuro also raised his head and looked at the two of them.

"I have one small request."

"explain."

“……………………”

Feng Ming Genjuro did not speak immediately, but looked at the others. The latter also understood what Feng Ming Genjuro meant, and left the office one after another, leaving only three people.

"What's up?"

"Please take a look at this report."

As he spoke, Feng Ming Xian Ju Lang handed over a newspaper. Duan Mu Huai took the newspaper and glanced at it. It was a report about a missing girl.

"Her name is Yukine Chris."

Feng Ming Genjuro began to introduce.

"In fact, she has been a qualified candidate that we have been secretly observing. According to our investigation, this girl is very compatible with the second holy relic, 'Bronze Serpent Armor'. So we have always wanted to recruit her into the organization and let her fight Noise. But not long ago, Yukine Chris disappeared."

"Missing?"

"Yes, her parents were unfortunately caught up in the war and died during a charity performance. When we learned about this, we immediately sent people to rescue her and wanted to bring her back home. But... she suddenly disappeared."

"A fourteen-year-old girl wouldn't just disappear for no reason."

"Indeed."

Feng Ming Genjuro nodded vigorously.

"We just suspected it before, but now we are sure - do you remember the battle with Noise at the concert?"

"certainly."

"In fact, that concert was not just a concert, but an experiment to completely activate the Bronze Serpent Armor through singing and spiritual resonance. However, to our surprise, Noise attacked the concert, and the Bronze Serpent Armor was taken away at that time."

"So what you're saying is that the person who took away the Bronze Serpent Armor is the same person who took away that Yukine Chris?"

Duanmu Huai is not a fool. Fengming Genjuro had specifically explained to him that Xueyin Chris was highly compatible with the second holy relic, and then she disappeared, and then the second holy relic also disappeared.

If you say this is a coincidence, no one will believe you.

"That's what we suspected. I'm ashamed to say that we've always suspected that you were involved in this..."

I see, that's understandable. Duanmu Huai didn't know about these things, but now after hearing about them, he understood that the other party's suspicion of him and others was not groundless.

"So now you're telling us this to make sure it has nothing to do with us. Not only that, there's a mole in the organization, right?"

"……………………"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Feng Ming Genjuro didn't say anything, but he didn't need to say anything. Yukine Chris and the second holy relic were well matched, which must be the internal secret of the organization. As a result, someone went for this. The only possibility was that someone in the organization leaked the information.

And he is a high-level official.

"You don't want to alert the enemy by using people from within the organization, so you want us to take action?"

"Yes."

"Okay, this is much more interesting than singing and dancing."

Duanmu Huai said this and glanced at Heichuan Akane, who also nodded.

Then Duanmu Huai stood up.

"It's settled then. Just tell us the details once you've made your arrangements. Let's go, Chiyin."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and left the classroom with Heichuan Akane. The others looked at the two people's disappearing backs with complicated expressions, and did not speak for a long time.

"I never expected that gentleman would actually bow his head."

After leaving the classroom, Kurokawa Akane whispered her feelings to Duanmu Huai. After all, in Kurokawa Akane's opinion, Fengming Genjuro was a very majestic and muscular man, the kind of person who was quite generous and had a strong desire for control. Kurokawa Akane had met similar people several times on the set, so she always felt that Duanmu Huai might have a conflict with him.

"A qualified organizational manager should understand that the first thing to maintain is the survival of the organization, not his own face."

Duanmu Huai shrugged.

"These little girls are the reserve army of that magical girl. If they lose confidence and can't even sing after being defeated by us, they will be completely ruined and become useless. If this guy has a clear mind, he should know what choice he will make."

"Well...but I always feel like I'm being unfair to them..."

Kurokawa Akane is not as cold-blooded as Duanmu Huai. Those girls are just ordinary girls. She had no conflicts with them before. But she was taken hostage by Duanmu Huai as a warning to others, which made her feel a little guilty.

"This is what the court is like."

However, Duanmu Huai obviously had no intention of comforting Heichuan Akane.

"The Inquisition has never been a friendly, communicative organization. We exist to make people submit and fear us. You see, it's like a gun..."

Duanmu Huai raised his hand, made a gun gesture, and pointed at Kurokawa Akane.

"When you are pointed at by a gun, you will not beg for mercy from the gun, because you know that the gun is just a weapon and has no self-awareness. So you will only beg for mercy from the person holding the gun, because you know that the person holding the gun is rational and can communicate. The Inquisition is a gun. We will only eliminate all enemies who try to threaten humanity. Nothing else matters."

"But wouldn't it be easier to cooperate if we communicated with each other in a friendly manner?"

"That will only increase ineffective social costs and waste time, and if the other party thinks we are easy to talk to, they may try to fool us."

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.

"Why don't good people live long? Because everyone knows that there will be no retaliation if you mess with good people. But they can try to mess with the Inquisition. I guarantee that they won't walk out of this door alive. By then, they will know what the consequences of playing tricks in front of the Inquisition are. What we want is speed and efficiency, not maintaining unnecessary stupid relationships."

“……………………”

Although it was very domineering, Kurokawa Akane had to admit that what Duanmu Huai said did make sense.

It’s just that... the Inquisition organization now seems so heavy that it’s suffocating.

Kurokawa Akane imagined that it would be very uncomfortable for him if he faced an organization like the Inquisition that did not listen to others and wanted to have complete control over everything.

But fortunately, I am now a member of the Tribunal.

"Xiao Ai, what should we do now?"

"First, let's go to the scene and investigate."

In response to Kurokawa Akane's question, Duanmu Huai yawned.

"Mystery novels say it well, criminals often return to the place where the crime occurred. Maybe we can catch them right away if we go there."

Then he spoke.

I bought a ceramic jar, but it was too thin and the paint on it was peeling. Today's stuff is really not as good as the old stuff.
