In the evening, the air is filled with the smell of moisture.

At the end of the staircase in the corridor on the third floor. Yuan Jie raised his head and glanced at the camera above his head.

This camera can capture the entire hallway. Photograph every door on either side of the hallway.

He leaned against the staircase at the end of the hallway, anxiously waiting.

Soon, the people he was waiting for came.

Wu Tiantian.

The girl walked over from that side in fear. She looked left and right, looking very uneasy. However, when she came to the corner, she was grabbed by Yuan Jie and pressed against the staircase, avoiding the capture range of the camera.

The sound of a soft-spoken conversation sounded between the two men.

Yuan Jie looked anxious and angry. But Wu Tiantian looked very scared and hesitant.

During the conversation, there was a sound of footsteps at the other end of the corridor, which was especially harsh in the silence of the corridor!

Yuan Jie hurriedly reached into his pocket, took out a small note and stuffed it into Wu Tiantian's palm, turned around and left from the staircase, took out his card and swiped the door, and walked out.

Wu Tiantian took a breath, stuffed the note into his arms, and walked out of the corridor. The one who walked over was Michiko's waiter, Qi Minghao.

The two passed by, and Wu Tiantian hurriedly entered the elevator and left.

And when the elevator door was completely closed, Qi Minghao stopped, raised his head, and looked at the elevator that kept descending. The corners of his mouth showed a sneer.

"What are you doing here?"

What appeared in front of him was Zhao Qian, the waiter of Ito Katsuju, with sharp eyes and quick movements.

Qi Minghao nodded to the senior with a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just a daze." ”

"Tonight's banquet is about to start, hurry up and help."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Qi Minghao pressed the button of the elevator, and after a while, the door opened, and he walked in. Until the door closed, he was still waving at Zhao Qian.

Soon, the corridor was quiet again.

Zhao Qian silently looked at the elevator that was constantly going up, silently, took out a pair of special glasses from his arms, and put them on.

Press the button...... However, it is not those virtual idols who appear in front of the glasses.

It was a girl who kept shaking her head, had a green double ponytail, and was smiling at him.

"Future ......"

The girl in the glasses spun in circles, smiling.

It wasn't until the elevator door opened again that the middle-aged man exhaled and pressed the switch. The double ponytail girl in the glasses disappeared in an instant. And he, too, regained a sharp and calm look and stepped into the elevator.

Tonight will be the official virtual idol catwalk fashion show.

This show represents the popularity of many virtual idols, and also represents the popularity they will be able to gain in the future.

It's also a great time for fashion manufacturers to promote their own clothing. What better model in the world than these perfect virtual idols to be graceful, slender and feminine in these clothes?

So tonight, on that runway, all the virtual idols will get the most attention.

But, will anyone notice?

Will anyone notice that an electronic girl who shouldn't have existed here is now appearing on the top mast of the Victoria?

She stood in the moonlight like that.

Bathed in that silvery light, his green eyes looked at the inky black sea around him. Facing the wind, her double ponytails were slowly fluttering, accompanied by the silence around her, accompanied by a faint ray of loneliness......

With that soft sigh, the figure of this electronic girl disappeared in an instant, turning into the night sky, the emerald haze that could not be erased.

**

This, where is this? Where am I?!

My eyes...... My eyes! Damn, who blindfolded me?!

"Who?! Who is it?! Let me go! Let me go!! Xia Junqi sensed his surroundings in panic, and the unfamiliar darkness made him fearful.

He struggled, but couldn't move at all.

Are my hands and feet tied to something? It's soft underneath the body, is this a bed? Am I being tied to bed by someone?

"Damn! Who the hell is it? Bastard! ”

He scolded and pulled desperately at the ropes that bound my hands and feet. Are these stretch tapes or tapes? How does it feel so tight!

Calm down, calm down! Be sure to calm down! Let me think about it, I went to the dinner party before, and then ...... And then I seem to have drunk too much?

Then, who told the waiters to take me back to my room? Or did I go back on my own?

And then...... And then what?

Damn, he couldn't remember what had happened after that. Who the hell is it? Who tied me up here?!

"Kick!"

Sound? That...... Is it footsteps?

Someone...... There are people here!

Who is it? What exactly does this person want to do?!

"Brother, can we calm down and have a good talk?"

Xia Junqi calmed himself down. After all, he has gone through so many ups and downs, and he knows what these kidnappers want most.

"Look, I didn't see your face at all, so I didn't know who you were at all. Then, in my wallet, I had three bank credit cards, each of which was able to withdraw 100,000 yuan in cash. The password is unified with six ones. I know that this money may be a little small, but as long as you can let me go, then the rest is easy to say! ”

"Kick!"

The footsteps slowly approached, then stopped.

Xia Junqi was a little flustered, but he still kept his composure.

Is this kidnapper standing next to my bedside? He's standing here, isn't he?!

It's so quiet all around...... It was as if he was lying in his grave.

What does he want to do with me? Do you want a ransom? It doesn't matter how much the ransom wants! I have money, and I can have as much money as I want! But why didn't he speak? Speak! What does he want, if he wants money, hurry up and get it! I'll give as much as he wants! Big brother, you speak!

It's quiet...... It's scary...... My heart ...... My heart is almost bursting!

The quieter it is, the more frightened it is, Xia Junqi really wants to shout for help! However, it cannot be called ...... Absolutely not called!

Since this guy has the audacity not to gag my mouth, it proves that he knows very well that my voice is not heard by others!

Xia Junqi thought to himself that he should still be on the Victoria, and the only place that could have a perfect soundproof room on the Victoria was the VIP room. In these rooms, not even rock 'n' roll music can be heard, and screaming for no reason only makes the kidnapper even angrier.

He was calm, yes, very calm.

Years of experience in business have already made me a calm businessman. I must not mess with this kind of thing, I must try to meet the needs of this kidnapper, and if I have anything to say, I will wait until I leave safely.

Xia Junqi suppressed the beating of his heart in his chest, trying to let his body relax little by little.

The black cloth on the eyelid blocked all the light. So I can't see anything. Listening closely, the footsteps beside the bed have long since disappeared. This person...... Probably standing next to his bed, right?

However, Xia Junqi couldn't hear his breathing.

In this dark silence, it was as if I was the only one breathing here, and no one was felt around me.

And then......

"Every place in my heart is full of phantoms in memory, and what my fingertips touch should be true love-"

Is it singing?

The song ......

Why, why is this singing happening? Who is it...... Who the hell?!

Xia Junqi tugged the restraints on his hands again, but there was still no way to break free! But just when he wanted to continue struggling, a cold object gently rested on his arm.

The cold touch could feel the unusual sharpness.

The singing continued to ring in his ears—

The sharp object pierced into his arm, and he could clearly feel a cut in the muscles in his arm!

Blood...... Definitely bleed!

It hurts!

"Don't, please, don't! If there is anything we can talk about, we can discuss it slowly! I'll give you as much money as you want! Please, don't! ”

The singing did not stop, nor did the movement of the man's hands.

"It hurts...... It hurts! ”

"Big brother, please don't! What exactly do you want? Don't kill me! As long as you don't kill me, I can give you anything! I have money. I have lots and lots of money! I can give it to you, I can give it all to you! ”

The knife that cut the arm was raised, and the pain that had penetrated deep into the bone marrow was now a little lighter.

Xia Junqi didn't know how many knives had been cut on his arm, he wanted to move, wanted to move his arm, but his arm was completely disobedient now!

Xia Junqi frowned in pain.

The sharp knife-like thing plunged into my thigh again. Pull! Another stab. Pull it out, stab it again!

"My legs ...... My legs ahhhhh Xia Junqi couldn't help but scream, he was about to faint in pain.

He screamed and screamed, desperately trying to struggle, to escape!

But the result?

And that madman was still stabbing him in the thigh with a knife!

The singing echoed in the empty room, and with Xia Junqi's shouting, one of his right legs had gradually lost sensation.

"My feet, where are my feet? Are my feet still on my body? Please...... Please...... Let...... Wow! He choked up, crying and pleading with the madman, hoping he would stop.

The madman suddenly stopped, and the next second, the madman pulled out a knife and stuck it in my other leg!

"Ahh

And this time, he still kept holding the knife and quickly pulled it out and inserted it quickly!

In the room was Xia Junqi's helpless screams.

"Click". Xia Junqi heard a sound in the air. Immediately after, he felt that the lower right half of his body seemed to be able to move freely!

Able to move freely? Great, he'll stand up first!

Stand up?

What about my feet?

What about my right foot?

"O God! It's mine...... Where's my whole right leg?! ”

The melodious singing voice floated in his ears again, and he was almost broken.

Xia Junqi only felt good...... It's cold......

He was speechless in pain, what about his body? He felt so heavy, even when he was lying down, it was still so heavy.

The singing...... That song is ......!

“mi…… Ku-chan? Xia Junqi opened his mouth, and a muffled voice exhaled from his mouth.

He didn't know if his voice would still be heard by the madman.

But at this moment, the sharp blade stopped.

In the end, Xia Junqi felt that the knife stayed on his neck and against his carotid artery. Just press it slightly. For Xia Junqi, everything ...... That's it.

“mi…… ku…… Be...... It's you...... Is it? ”

Xia Junqi desperately stretched out his fingers, and his fingertips touched the leather bedside behind him, at this time he thought that even if he could leave a little information, it would be good.

In a blur, a hand touched his cheek.

It was like a girl's hand, soft and gentle. The fingers slightly straightened the hair on my forehead, and finally, pressed it against the door of my head.

"Do you know why I didn't just kill you?"

In my ears, there was a beautiful electronic voice with a slight mechanical sound.

This voice was popular all over the world more than a decade ago.

At that time, the voice of virtual idols was nowhere near as perfect as it is now, which could almost perfectly simulate the human voice.

At that time, I could still clearly hear the imperfections in the voice, and I could hear the mechanical, dull voice.

When singing to some extreme tones, it will also be distorted and become weird.

But...... All of this can't stop this virtual idol from becoming a smash hit!

Is it ...... standing by your side?

"...... future?!"

"Really, thank you so much. To this day, I still remember me. The sweet voice said lightly, and the blade that was clinging to his neck was now getting tighter and tighter!

But...... How is this possible?

How can it be?!

She's nothing more than a virtual idol, nothing more than an electronic persona! She's just a bunch of data, a combination of 0s and 1s that don't exist in the real world!

"Now, there are really not many people who can remember me." The crisp, gentle voice continued.

Although Xia Junqi was now blindfolded, he could almost see the faint smile on her face!

The green-haired girl with two ponytails, the real ...... Dream Song!

"I'm glad you still remember me. Unlike the other one, he didn't think of me until he was hit by a train. ”

Du Nan?

Du Nan's Death ...... Is it also ......?!

"Goodbye, then, my former ...... I'm glad that in these last moments, you can still remember my voice, remember my singing. ”

"Wait! Slow down Miku! Wait! Not ......"

There was a chill in his throat.

At that moment, Xia Junqi felt as if something had been sucked out of his body.

The sensations in the body are light, the consciousness gradually begins to blur, and the pain gradually disappears.

And in his ears, the wanton and beautiful singing seemed to float again......

**

I have to say that the effect of tonight's performance is really fantastic! The virtual idols on the catwalk sang and changed into the costumes on their bodies, which was really as gorgeous as they were

Jin Yansen wore special glasses and watched the virtual idols on the catwalk walk one by one.

He Qingzhi is not particularly interested in these, purely for freshness.

Long Tao next to him also watched it with relish, and sure enough, she He Qingzhi couldn't quite understand the world of otaku. Seeing the interest, he actually stretched out his hand and patted Jin Yansen's shoulder, and said, "Boss, look! It's Ji charming! Ji is charming! ”

Jin Yansen looked back at the catwalk, he wasn't really interested in these things, he was just a little curious.

However, where is the shadow of Ji Charming on the stage?

Just when He Qingzhi raised the cup in her hand and took a sip of her drink, about to take off the special glasses, in her special eyes, there was a sudden flash.

That's a pale green figure...... However, the figure only flickered slightly, and then vanished. Instead, there was another figure that looked panicked, as if it was about to cry.

"Ji is charming?"

was supposed to be charming on the catwalk on the stage, but now she appears here.

He Qingzhi put down the cup in her hand and looked at this virtual idol dressed in ancient costume, with ribbons floating behind him, and an anxious face.

She hit the cake in her face again, and said to Jin Yansen: "Senior! Ji is charming here. She seems to be in a hurry! ”

He Qingzhi actually followed Ji Yumei out by a ghost.

At the same time, Jin Yansen's gaze was a glimpse of the corner of the banquet hall that looked luxurious and calm.

There, a waiter hurriedly walked in from outside the door, and said a few words next to the ear of Zhao Qian, who had been practicing here. After that, Zhao Qian's eyebrows were obviously raised, and he immediately rushed out in a hurry with the waiter.

Jin Yansen narrowed his eyes, "Long Tao, keep up." ”

Immediately, two big men chased after him.

"Ji Fumei, what happened?"

In the corridor, He Qingzhi quickened her pace and ran. Beside her, the girl in ancient costume, Ji Charming, has also been floating forward like a shadow.

Zhao Qian in front of him ran very fast, and he had already disappeared after entering the labyrinthine cabin passage. He Qingzhi stopped at an intersection, looked at Ji Charming, who was already crying in a hurry, and said a little anxiously: "Ji Charming! What the hell went wrong? Hurry up and lead the way! ”

Ji Yumei seemed to be taken aback by He Qingzhi's tone. She raised her hands very aggrievedly, covered her mouth with her sleeves, and her body floated back slightly, saying, "Concubine...... The concubine doesn't know......"

"Don't know? I don't know why you're showing me the way?! He Qingzhi intuitively felt that something had happened, but she couldn't find the source at the moment, so her tone was not very good when she was in a hurry.
