Volume 1 Seraphic Incident - Battle of Star and Thunder 16.
The air in the city was sweltering, and the bauhinia flowers on the roadside covered the avenues were on the branches, and two yellow finches were hidden in the leaves, squinting and half-asleep. Yesterday night there was a rain in the city, followed by a scorching sun, and the heat began to show its hideousness, constantly eroding the will of the people.
This is the most famous city in Qiongshan City, Longcheng. The headquarters of the top entertainment company in the empire, "Starry Night", is located in this city, and several other entertainment companies capable of calling Starry Night have also set up branches in this city, in order to prevent Starry Night from monopolizing the unique and beautiful shooting scenes on Island 8. Over time, star culture has become the biggest highlight of Qiongshan City in addition to the beautiful scenery, and young people who are interested in entering the entertainment industry, whether they have the opportunity or not, will choose to come to Longcheng to take a walk and take a look.
Dusk is approaching, and after sleeping comfortably all day in the air-conditioned room, the black cat that got up with his tail wagging his tail cocked his tail vertebrae, and concave his soft and boneless body, which can be regarded as stretching his waist in the way of a cat.
This is a practice room of the "Gentleman's Laughter" entertainment company. In the practice room, only the boy sitting at the piano and holding a guitar was looking at the score with his head down.
The boy is Chi Huan. He'll be here, with accidents, and more with planning in place.
Seventeen days have passed since the terrorist attack at Lotus Villa. Fifteen days ago, most people in the entertainment industry thought that the official account of the villa would be seized actually published the last episode of the villa variety show. Although the content has been greatly deleted, there is still one person who has received wide attention from the entertainment industry - Xue Shanjing. Some of his identity information was then revealed: at the age of eighteen, a mysterious second-order ice magician, with a handsome face and a graceful body of the spirit pet Xiao Hei, he bravely protected the non-high magic people in the villa in the terrorist attack and was commended by the empire.
"I came to Qiongshan City because I wanted to be a singer. β
This news has set off a storm in the entertainment industry. It's rare for a professional mage to want to become a star. After all, even within the most powerful Lonaka Empire in the eastern part of the Cloud World, the proportion of people with high magic power is less than one-thirtieth of the total population, and many professions are eager for mages and demon warriors, and social benefits are incredibly high. At present, there are only a few high-magic people in the entertainment industry, although they are only second- and third-order strength, but they all have good public influence and have become mainstays in the entertainment industry. The most famous imperial princess, Her Royal Highness Nana, needless to mention, her reputation has long spread beyond the eastern part of the Yunshi, when she was sixteen years old, she could become a national idol, and now five years have passed, although her cultivation is stable at the third order and has not improved at all, she is still the goddess of the Lonaca Empire, not one.
So, after a fierce competition and the efforts of various companies to pull people, Xue Shanjing finally chose the "gentleman's smile" who could hand over all the resources to him.
So, this is also the reason why Ji Huan is reading the score now. He was no stranger to sheet music, and until he came of age at the age of sixteen, he had a piano in his room, and he played several pieces a day to avoid getting angry. In the past, it was only used as a means to cover himself, and his practice was not very good, but now that he came into contact with it, Chi Huan's perfectionism began to force himself to at least not make mistakes.
Xiao Hei, who woke up, didn't intend to pay attention to this person, and opened the door and left by himself without looking twice. In its heart, it is most important for it to feed itself, and the master? hmph, he is not its master.

In the same building, Xia Xianrong sat on the sofa on the top floor, his fingers casually swiped over the mobile phone screen in front of him, his eyes scattered, as if he was thinking about something. Hua Xiangrong, who had lost five games in a row because of the lack of matching teammates, shook off his mobile phone with a "pia", reached out and grabbed his hair, and saw that the new uncle looked stupid, so he took a closer look, and what was on the screen of his mobile phone was ...... Lianlian?
"Uncle, don't you want to be so mentally retarded. The sixteen-year-old boy said with disdain.
"I'm mentally retarded, this is obviously a puzzle game. "The dark department specially developed a code game, different elimination patterns correspond to different characters, and you can also set an infinite elimination mode to complete a long task report. In this era of cloud popularization, the dark department has already secretly connected to the empire's network department, ensuring that any mobile phone can download its game software, so that the mission commissioner can connect to the special network cable of the dark department through the simplest basic operations, and then complete the code with various complicated game operations. Although Xia Xianrong was indeed playing just now, he was also in order to skillfully use this way of transmitting codes, and when he heard the disdain of the young man, he couldn't help but think to himself, he couldn't remember the game operation of more than fifty cipher games in three years, where is this thing mentally retarded?
"Hmph, I said that mentally retarded is mentally retarded. No rebuttal, I say yes. Hua Xiangrong showed his unreasonable childishness, and he had no respect for this man who was older than him and cultivated better than him. He thought that sooner or later he would become a sixth-order in the future, he was already a third-order at the age of sixteen now, and his talent value was more than seventy, so he would definitely be stronger than this stupid uncle in the future, well, it must be.
Xia Xianrong glanced at the young man's immature face, and then withdrew his gaze, not intending to pay much attention to it at all. The information they received earlier was indeed correct, Junzixiao was indeed one of the strongholds of Ragnarok, but now it was empty, and it was completely a useless empty shell.
After the Floating Nightmare was taken away by Chi Huan in the underground base, it seems that he has been punished a lot, and his power has been weakened a lot. The most direct feeling is that there is another voice on Island Eight besides him. Although Xia Xianrong has not been able to contact who the other party is, he has already felt this kind of secret game as a person who has just joined, and presumably the most irritating person at this time should be the nightmare.
Hua Xiangrong saw that Xia Xianrong was still playing with his Lianliankan, and suddenly felt a kind of unhappiness, so he stepped forward and snatched the mobile phone, and said angrily: "Won't it be boring to sit here all day! Obviously you are only thirty-two and already look like an old man! You don't have a hole in your brain, right?
Ha Rao is Xia Xian Rong, no matter how good his temper is, he thinks that this bastard kid is too deceitful. But he was well cultivated, so he just suppressed his anger and asked rhetorically: "I'm sitting here and Mr. Float explained, if you want to go, you can naturally go, you know that I have a task and still ask me like this, aren't you the one who has a hole in your brain?"
"Although Brother Wei said so, what are you doing so obediently!!"
Hmm, Hua Xiangrong surprised Xia Xianrong again. The second point is that Hua Xiangrong is a person who can be safe even if he doesn't listen to the command, at least the Nightmare will not punish him severely, so he will feel that it is okay to be "disobedient". As a dark commissioner's keen intuition, Xia Xianrong made a judgment in his mind for the first time, and then based on these judgments, he pushed the boat down the river and said the guiding words: "Oh? Then what do you want to do? Where do you want to go?"
"Hmph. Of course I'm going to do something meaningful. Hua Xiangrong crossed his hands on his hips. Xia Xianrong waited for a moment, but there was no follow-up. Seeing that Hua Xiangrong turned around and was about to leave, he was in a hurry and said excitedly: "It's just you, I think you want to play." β
"Who said I went to play!" Hua Xiangrong immediately turned around and retorted: "Anyway, you are also Brother Wei's subordinate, don't you feel uncomfortable that Brother Wei is being bullied now!"
The third point is that Hua Xiangrong has not been in Qiongshan City for a long time, otherwise he would not know that he has just joined Ragnarok, so naturally he will not have any thoughts about the Nightmare that he wants to maintain. Xia Xianrong said coldly: "I am a member of Ragnarok, and I obey Mr. Fumi's arrangement, that's all. β
Hua Xiangrong was stunned, and then her eyes were gloomy. "That's why I think people like you hate the most. β
The boy thought to himself, why the people around him were either as cold as machines, or that interests were supreme and had no feelings at all. Could it be that the nature of this world is really as cold and cruel as the Nightmare said? He opened the door with a calm face, and was about to close it when he heard a voice behind him. β...... Wait a minute. β
Xia Xianrong didn't know when he stood behind him, holding on to the door, looking a little helpless: "I'll go with you." β
"Anyway, you're not a third-order person. β
"What?!I warn you, you won't be arrogant for too long! Give me a few more years, and I'll definitely beat you!"
"Then shut up now, Third Order. β
"O-dish O#"
ββ
Everyone's sixteen years old is different. At least, Hua Xiangrong's sixteen-year-old is extraordinarily innocent and naΓ―ve. It didn't take much time for Xia Xianrong to extract a lot of information from his mouth: Hua Xiangrong's mother was the sister of the Nightmare, so he didn't come to Island No. 8 because of the organization's dispatch, but purely to see his uncle when he was traveling. Although the image of the floating nightmare in his heart is not called brilliant and great, after all, he is a relative, so Hua Xiangrong is extremely unhappy that others dare to bully his uncle.
Despite the process of clichΓ©s, Xia Xianrong wanted to beat up this arrogant, impolite, noisy and monkey-like imp more than once, but thinking that this was the key to undercover operations, he still endured it.
The mystery of Ragnarok has been gradually lifted by Xia Xianrong. The organization is extremely large and hierarchical. Based on some myths from ancient times, members of the organization will be arranged into different systems according to their strengths. The first is [Wen], that is, the person in charge of the written work of personnel allocation, management, economic and development planning, etc., named from top to bottom by the rank of "angel": Seraph-Wisdom Angel-Seat Angel, Lord Angel-Energy Angel-Power Angel, Power Angel-Archangel-Angel. These three sets of levels are the entire composition of the text. Hua Xiangrong said that the Floating Nightmare was a [Wise Angel], but Xia Xianrong's intuition told him that the Floating Nightmare could never be so simple.
Then there is [Wu]. There are four levels of martial arts. Pole: Demon King-Dragon, Upper Position: Grim Reaper-Fallen Angel, Middle: Wizard-Demon, Lower: Ghost-Cerberus. The lower level is the first to third order cultivation, the middle level is the fourth to sixth order, the upper level is the seventh and eighth order, and the extreme position is a small number of the ninth order. Clear and clear, simple and brutal. If you want to move up the rank, then work hard to improve your cultivation.
Xia Xianrong didn't move on the surface, and even took a bite of the cake, but his heart was already turbulent and terrifying.
"Hmm. The Demon King refers to the few big names who lead the entire organization, and the dragon refers to the Elders. But they all have weird personalities, and none of them I like anyway. Xia Xianrong invited guests to a big meal, Hua Xiangrong naturally would not miss it, at this time, he stuffed a mouthful of his left and right clips, and his hands were very busy. "I think I've heard someone say that there is an elder now, and it's right here for us. β
"What are we?"
"Well, it's on Island Eight. β
