Happiness Island, Bridge District.

In the dark room, there are various monitors of various sizes, which look like a monitoring room.

A young man who hadn't washed his hair in a long time scratched his hair and stared intently at the screen in front of him with a cigarette in his mouth, constantly typing something. A pair of smooth horns on the head reflect the brilliance on different screens.

Mark is a video host. In the past, he was famous for analyzing Xiao Liuli's songs, but now he has changed careers and started to do news interpretation.

He couldn't be more glad...... I watched this issue of "The Emperor's Talk Show".

Seriously, Mark doesn't usually like to watch this kind of show. It's not that the emperor's level is not enough...... Rather, it is the opposite, because the emperor's level is too high.

Mark thinks he's just a maggot in a sewer and deserves to live in such a dark place. Even if the well-voiced and erudite "Mark" has a following on the Internet, it is just a projection of his beautiful self.

He felt uncomfortable just by seeing someone like the emperor. The Emperor's words and deeds had a charisma that could change others, and this aggressive charisma made him uncomfortable – because he didn't want to change himself. And Mark was convinced, with the contagious power of the emperor...... If you listen carefully to his talk show every issue, you will soon unconsciously absorb some of the characteristics of the emperor and agree with some of his views.

Mark knew he was just a bug, but he just didn't want to change.

The last person to pull him out was called Xiao Liuli, but she was dead.

She's not like other idols...... The voice is sweet, the characters are innocent, and the lyrics are either full of temptation or full of girlishness.

Xiao Liuli's skills are very strong, but each of her songs is not show-off, but full of emotion. It was as if he could reach out and touch her heart.

Although the lyrics of each song are ostensibly about love...... But if you feel and taste it carefully, you will find that the lyrics are full of metaphors - she is talking about life.

She has a song called "Air Lovers". It sounds sweet and romantic, quite girly, as if the two are flying in the air hugging and kissing each other, and that moment is eternal...... But if you taste it carefully, you will find that what she is talking about is actually martyrdom. It is the last freedom under despair.

Another of her songs is called "Forever One-Way Arrow". At first, there was a soft murmur, and then it gradually turned into a hysterical cry, as if the girl was telling her heart that could never be conveyed...... But what she actually sings about is the fact that people at the bottom will never be able to touch their true dreams.

Each of her songs tells a story...... "Under the Sunset" is ostensibly about a teenage couple after school, but in fact, it is about the "growth" of the two who are getting farther and farther apart after graduation and will never see each other again; "Bracelet" is written about a man who suddenly found out that he had lost the bracelet given by his first love when he was packing up his things after marriage, but it actually implies that the company dog gradually lost the conscience and innocence of his youth under the hands of the company.

Every song that Xiao Liuli sings is full of emotion. Or gentle whispers, or sad crying, or screaming in pain—these songs were written by herself. And her wonderful singing skills can perfectly interpret these songs...... Even let other people's covers always "lack that little bit of flavor".

This is the reason why Xiao Liuli will be loved by people.

For her song is sung to all who are afflicted. It's sung to those at the bottom...... Although she is also an idol promoted by the company, she is undoubtedly "here". She has suffered and sinned...... But she doesn't convey negative emotions to people. Every high pitch of crying blood, every soft murmur, will resonate with people.

She will always be so glamorous, smiling, happy and lovely. But in reality, her true fans will know that she is sad inside.

She just wore a bright smile mask and hid all her sorrows, doubts and pain in the core.

…… However, Xiao Liuli is just a singer after all.

Her songs can make people recognize, move people, and make people understand that she is not alone. Somewhere in the world, there are also many people who have the same experience and common experience as themselves. These fans use Xiao Liuli as the "center" to create the bond of "although they have never met, they have also met".

She makes people no longer alone. But it's just that I'm not alone.

Xiao Liuli couldn't come up with a solution to any problem...... Because she herself is also a person in the game.

In fact, although Ultramarine killed Little Ruri. But Mark, who is a loyal fan of Xiao Liuli, does not hate ultramarine at all. He even thanked the man a little.

Because Mark vaguely realized that Xiao Liuli's recent song ...... That gentle and tenacious strength has become a lake of flux, and the ratio of pain, confusion and despair is rising.

- Either degenerate into a demon, or "fly".

As Xiao Liuli's most loyal fan, Mark has clearly felt it...... Xiao Liuli's mask, which was always smiling brightly, was already full of cracks. And her heart began to break.

One day, she will be destroyed. But Mark couldn't do anything.

Because he can't change the world. He's just a bedbug in the ditch.

Before that day comes, Ultramarine kills Little Liuli - to save the "innocent people".

Although Mark sneered at the innocent people, he also wanted to...... If Xiao Liuli could know that her broken death could be exchanged for the lives of so many innocent people, she would probably smile.

Because she is indeed such a gentle person.

…… I don't know why.

When he saw the "barber" of the Brokers, he actually saw a feeling unique to Xiao Ruri from the man.

Although the hair color, height, gender, age, soul, and voice are completely different...... But it just feels like there's a strange sense of similarity.

In particular, the smile with a slight sense of cunning, but convincing and empowering, is so similar.

And his words are like Xiao Liuli's song, which can make Mark feel resonant and agree-

"All those who really need the help of the Brokers will not believe the rhetoric of the orators."

"I didn't understand this truth before, and told the poorest and most needy people about the future that they couldn't see in their lives."

Ping's words.

It didn't have any fan power, but it inexplicably made Mark burst into tears.

Because he had heard similar words in Xiao Liuli's songs.

But compared to the confused idol girl, this man is so powerful.

He stood in the spotlight, his white suit shining brightly. He was like the sun that came down to the earth, and the emperors next to him were inferior to him.

"—The more gloomy the reality, the more bright dreams are needed."

"- Good intentions are worn out by life, and who can blame us for not being strong enough?"

These are the words that Mark personally analyzed from Xiao Liuli's songs.

And now, there really is a big man who has stepped up - speaking out for justice.

It could be a show, or it could be just publicity. But Mark's instincts told him that he could trust the man.

He decided to take such a gamble.

He was extremely serious and carefully wrote the video text for the "barber". Not for criticism, but for propaganda.

He had already decided to join the Brokers...... Even if he can't become an employee of the Brokers, he has his own way of helping others.

He didn't want to listen to the emperor's preaching. I don't want to be a decent, clean and elegant person standing in the sun.

He doesn't want to be in contact with society, he just wants to live in the shadows.

- But who said that a lowly bug like him is not worthy of kindness in his heart?

"Mark, Mark!"

At this moment, the roommate who lived in the studio with him in the latter part of his team suddenly broke into his room in a panic: "Big news, have you watched it?" ”

"I know, the emperor's talk show, right?"

Mark said impatiently, "I'm writing a text, don't bother me-"

"No, Ultramarine has officially announced! Just now! ”

“…… What? And with whom? ”

Mark frowned and waved his hand to put the virtual keyboard away.

He looked back at the thin boy, and countless bad thoughts were already in his head.

Why is the hero with the most traffic suddenly announced at this time?

- Is it to disperse the traffic? Or is it to distract people? Did the company make a move? In eliminating the influence of the emperor's talk show?

But it's not right, this will hurt the "ultramarines" too much. With his age, education and appearance, there are quite a few girlfriend fans among fans...... The official announcement without warning and without any foreshadowing will definitely directly shake his foundation.

Or is it because the barber says that he is friends with Ultramarine, so the company decides to directly consume the name "Ultramarine" and use this way to reduce his popularity and hide it?

Mark only felt a chill in his body, and felt a little cringe in his heart.

This shows that the company is very concerned about this matter.

This speed, this reaction...... It's just too fast.

Do you really want to send your own video?

That will undoubtedly be noticed by the company...... Maybe at any point, he will "die of an accident".

However, soon, the thin boy in front of Mark gave a completely unexpected answer:

"I don't know, I don't know, but it's beautiful...... No, it's her. But this is not the point, the point is that ultramarine also sent a super big melon before this!

"-Ultramariner is hammered, and the barber is Xiao Liuli!"

“…… What? ”

Mark was stunned, the vague premonition in his heart was about to become a reality.

He shouted, "Show me—is there a recording?" ”

"It's live. The Tian'en Daily is still interviewing, and you can see it in ten minutes forward. The boy replied immediately.

Hearing this, Mark did not hesitate to open the website of Tian'en Daily.

He dragged the progress bar forward, and soon heard Ultramarine's voice.

Xiao Liuli wanted to feel more about the suffering of the people, so she wiped out all the aura she had by "killing herself". Starting from scratch, seek to save the answer to the island of happiness......

She found it.

No, it should be said...... He found it.

The company called "Brokers" will be the only outlier. It all depends on the kindness of people, and all profits are used to help others.

It's a gentleman's agreement – you trust me, I'll help you. It is full of the brilliance of dreams.

This is indeed the style of Xiao Liuli......

She did not die, nor did she despair, nor did she fall...... Instead, they finally found their way.

Mark's tears flowed down his cheeks.

With his acuity, he was immediately aware of the ...... Why did Ultramarines suddenly make an official announcement at this moment.

- He is taking the initiative to use his privacy to protect Xiao Liuli and the barber!

Ultramarine cut off his fan base with a knife and used the "official announcement" to attract people's attention...... So that those who don't care about the news and just want to eat melons can also be attracted by it for the first time.

Then they only need to look through today's news, and they will find out that Xiao Liuli is still alive.

Even the tag of "Emperor" is now beginning to be blocked in batches, and the hot searches about "Barber", "Godfather", and "Brokers" have been suppressed by the Ministry of Cybersecurity......

However, they can't suppress the "Ultramarine Official Announcement".

Because Ultramarine is a "hero" – he is not directly under the jurisdiction of the company or the Cyber Security Department, and only the directors can punish him; But the "ultramarine official announcement" will not alarm the directors.

Even if the final director's decision is to delete this hot search, the time spent going through this process alone is enough for people to know about it. Because the traffic of "ultramarine" is so exaggerated.

You must know that Tianen Group cannot delete the news ontology. They can only prevent people from searching for it, as long as people know the specific time coordinates of the event, they will be able to find it.

Use events from another angle to do hot searches, so as to derive the same thing that is hidden......

Such a clever operation, such a strong determination.

“…… He was truly a hero. It's not like the garbage. ”

Mark took a deep breath and replayed the live video for the third time, watching Russell's every word.

He flipped through the search engine again...... found that the hot searches of "emperor" and "barber", which had begun to decline before, resumed their upward trend.

"This matter, Tianen Group can't hold it down."

Mark commented: "Or rather, it was the board of directors who ordered the cybersecurity department to abandon the ...... It seems that ultramarines do weigh a little more than other heroes, which is something I didn't expect.

"After he stood up for the Brokers, even the Grace Group acquiesced in the existence of the Brokers, which they had previously deemed illegal."

As Mark thought-

In the meantime, in other corners of the island of happiness.

There were also exclamations, screams, wails, and madness.

Most of them are students...... Most of them are teenagers and girls who have not even reached the age of going to college.

It's still class time, but more than one place has begun to be chaotic.

"It's official?!"

"No, fake news......"

"Really, you go to the official website of Tian'en Daily!"

"She's so pretty...... There is a feeling of nobility. ”

“…… It turns out that Ultramarines like white dogs, so can I......"

"I'm so sour, woo woo I'm so sour......"

"People are talented and beautiful, what are you sour here?"

"I can only say one thing: a good match."

In less than five minutes, the news quickly spread throughout the entire Happy Island.

It is now believed that behind Ultramarine stands the board of directors - he will even become a director of the Tianen Group, and will inevitably become a big man and a lot of money in the future. At the same time, he is also a hero who can give people a great sense of security, both in appearance and figure...... Not only is he good-tempered, but he also knows a lot of big people - the most important thing is that he is only in his twenties this year, has the highest level of education, and has not yet been in a relationship.

Under the accumulation of this buff, it is impossible to live without girlfriend fans.

And under the joint effect of this news, the matter of "Xiao Liuli did not die back then" was gradually discovered by people-

Alternating inside and outside, the inside and the outside are easy to ......

Russell's light-hearted operation not only replaced the causal order of "Little Liuli" and "The Barber", but also turned the bomb into support for the Barber and the Broker in advance; Even the two things of "and the official announcement of the Delphinium" and the "platform brokerage" were also replaced.

use the cause of the platform broker to minimize the negative impact of their official announcement, so that people can "understand"; At the same time, he used the fruit of his official announcement to complete his solidarity with the barber and the emperor without a trace.

To use everyone to help others is to teach people to help themselves, and this cannot be considered deception and exploitation—this is the fundamental principle of the Brokerage.

Even if people eventually realize that Ultramarines are using them, they can't say anything. Because the act itself was also rationalized by his status as a "Broker executive".

This is the essence of Russell's operation, the highest level of confusion and rhythmic control:

It is not a false decoration of the shell, nor is it a replacement of the nucleus.

- Because the shell is the core.
