You believed it.
"A life lived without pain or itching..."
Meanwhile, Sunday and Robin stared at their phone screens, waiting for the next word from the charlatan, whose story was neither true nor false.
Then, my phone vibrated, and the other party sent me an audio message, exactly the length of a song.
Robin and Sunday exchanged a glance, then, with a scrutinizing attitude, clicked on the audio.
Then... I was drawn into the emotions by the very first line of lyrics sung by the boy.
"...
Because they are enjoying its splendor
Because it endures its decay
You say don't love me, yet you're still reluctant to let go.
Therefore, life is bittersweet, like a song.
...
Do you want to see a sea of flowers in full bloom?
Do you want to see the swallows return?
If none of them can come back
So for whom should I exist?
...
Therefore, life is as brilliant as a song.
By the time the two came to their senses, the song had already ended, but the memories it evoked had not faded.
This song touched them in so many ways.
They remembered their mother.
And then there were the hardships of their childhood that terrified them so much that they hid in their mother's arms.
It also reminded me of the joy of playing together when I was a child.
I recall many terrible experiences, but also many joyful ones.
Bitterness and sweetness intertwine, laughter and sorrow mingle, ultimately shaping their lives that have endured to this day.
The boy's voice and emotions perfectly interpreted the song, and despite the simple piano accompaniment, there was nothing wrong with it.
Bai Luan certainly embodies good emotions.
Because his life had truly been irreversibly rotten due to cancer.
And that is precisely why,
now,
He sincerely praised his life as brilliant and beautiful.
"elder brother..."
The robin spoke, her eyes still brimming with emotion, but this time her tone was more resolute.
"He is the person in question."
"I agree with that point; the voice is the same as it was hundreds of years ago, it hasn't changed."
"I feel... a little embarrassed for doubting him just now."
Faced with her younger sister's self-blame, Sunday smiled and comforted her:
"That's a necessary precaution. The thief won't blame you. Right now, it's best to get back to them quickly and make this collaboration happen."
"Um!"
Robin: Senior, it's hard for me to express how I feel right now. This song is really, really good...
Robin: Are you sure you want me to sing this song?
The thief: Not just one, but three songs.
Robin: ...Thank you.
Music plagiarist: You're welcome. Send me an electronic contract so we can sign it.
The song thief: There's still so much more to discuss with you about these three songs.
The song thief: Let's work together to bring these three songs to perfection.
Let the song carry emotions, let the song spread emotions, polish the song to perfection, and present it to the fans in the best possible way.
This is what a singer is all about.
I'm facing a singer who is the purest of all.
Upon seeing the message from the other party, Robin felt her sense of duty as a singer ignited within her.
Robin: I am honored to work with you.
The person who stole the song: I feel the same way.
Robin: Senior, I should pay you for listening to this song.
Robin: Even if it's just a little bit.
Bai Luan smiled as she read the message from the robin, and then typed it in.
The song thief: Do you know why I have this name?
Robin: Does it mean 'This music should only exist in heaven, but I steal it and give it to all living beings for free'?
Robin: This is a cheering phrase circulating among your fans.
Bai Luan's lips twitched; these fans were really something else.
The person who stole the song: You've praised me too much.
The song thief: Actually, I am a time traveler. The songs I sing are the result of other people's hard work, stolen from another world, so that's why I have this name.
The robin chuckled when it saw the message.
To make himself feel at ease accepting this gift, he actually fabricated such an outrageous story.
Robin: Senior, you're really humorous.
The plagiarist: ...
The thief: Believe it or not, I've already told you the reason.
The song thief: Because of these reasons, I upload these songs to the platform for free, only earning the creative incentive fee given by the platform.
The plagiarist: I don't intend to break my principles for you.
The thief: So, just accept it with a clear conscience.
The robin laughed again as it watched Bai Luan earnestly "lie," and began editing the message.
Robin: If these songs were brought from another world by you.
Robin: As your fan in this world, all I can say is thank you for bringing such works to the world.
Robin: I'm sure many people have drawn strength from these songs you've brought us.
Robin: This is what I aspire to and strive to achieve.
Looking at the heartwarming message from the robin, Bai Luan felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
What else can be said?
All the sweat and effort I put in during those days of rigorous training in the dark room were worth it!
The plagiarist: It's my honor.
The two quickly signed an electronic contract, officially launching their collaboration.
The plagiarist: Then I'll go and issue a statement to celebrate this collaboration.
The person who stole the song: I'll tag you, so remember to reply.
Robin: Of course!
Okay, Bai Luan quickly drew a chibi version of a robin singing and then posted it on social media.
Yes, kids, I love listening to that too!
I have already partnered with @Robin to release three songs together in the future, so please stay tuned.
After the post was published, Robin snatched the first comment at lightning speed.
Robin: I didn't expect my senior to be able to draw.
What followed was a huge celebration among the fans.
"Two chefs are overjoyed!"
"A dream collaboration!"
Happy Chinese New Year!
"Good things really do happen when you're alive... Hehe, I want to live on!"
"Mom! My favorite historical singer and a modern singer collaborated, really! Mom! What do you mean you like it too, Mom?"
"I can't stop laughing just thinking about the three great songs I'll be listening to in the future! Please, someone stop me from laughing like that!"
At the same time, Robin's account also released a statement.
However, the comments section over there had a rather strange style.
Uniform:
"You are my god!!!"
"I hereby declare Miss Robin to be the best necromancer in the world!"
She resurrected the King of Pigeons!!!
"Thanks for urging me to update!"
"The robin got MVP in the update-urging team! Rating 15.0!"
"I need a resurrection spell!"
"Miss Robin killed the game!"
The robin looked at the crowd of fans pouring in and was both amused and exasperated.
The fans of the ripper really do have the same style as him...
PS: The rating has risen to 9.5, and a reader has won MVP! Bonus chapter!!! (This feels strangely familiar)
Chapter 61 Just call me Himeko
The internet has been incredibly lively these past two months.
The three accounts became active at the same time. First, Bai Luan's Life account updated every night to whet the appetites of her fans, shattering the weight loss dreams of countless fans.
Secondly, the game producer released four hit new games in a row, and each one became a hit and quickly gained a large audience!
Moreover, each game only costs one credit!
Let's take a look at an interview with a BL game fan!
"Bl, you're my god! This is so damn fun! I've lived just to play games like Dead Cells!"
Ahem, this fan seems a bit too extreme. Let's switch to another one; this one looks calm and collected, so they definitely won't...
"This Stardew Valley BL only costs one dollar. I will indiscriminately attack any negative reviews of Stardew Valley. If you don't want to play, get lost and stop yelling!"
Hmm... I admit I misjudged it. Let's choose another one, this one will do!
Have you played Terraria?
"Uh... not yet."Why not play Terraria!?
The reporter stepped back a few paces:
"Go back and play, go back and play."
He then quickly left, and as he turned around, he heard a voice behind him:
"Everyone, go play Terraria! You have brains that have never played Terraria! Why don't you play?! Damn it! I'm so envious!"
Please, someone make me lose my memory! I want to play Terraria all over again!!!
After the reporter ran away, he wiped his sweat.
Then, smiling at the camera, he said:
"I didn't expect everyone to be so crazy. It's just that we Minecraft players are so calm."
"What's so fun about playing a grid game?"
"You know nothing! Come out and fight me one-on-one!"
Robin, after some communication and exchange, also released three new songs.
The virtual person was in charge of luring everyone in.
What can I use to keep you here? And what if I forget to take responsibility for love? These questions have all turned into traps for the fans I lured in.
"The Grand Court! And I'm Miss Robin's dog!"
"Family members, you can leave as soon as you hear 'virtual'."
"Don't listen to the person upstairs, listen to me, go listen to the last two songs directly."
"Family members, I am deaf, I can't hear the lyrics."
"It's okay, my fan art is almost finished. I'll show it to you when it's done."
"Do you know how happy I was when I heard the first song? The robin's voice is so sweet... it felt like I was in love! But the other two almost killed me..."
"This is the song plagiarist, the highest mountain and the longest river in the Milky Way music scene! Those stronger than him haven't lasted as long, and those who have lasted as long haven't been as strong! Every song of his has something to say about it!"
"These three songs are going to spoil my ears! Praise to Miss Robin..."
"As expected of Miss Robin, a powerful singer who can handle different styles."
After the online frenzy that engulfed Bai Luan, he didn't feel anything.
After all, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. The emotional value he gained from this incident was less than the emotional value he gained from posting the game and then putting on a show of rudeness towards Silver Wolf.
After playing all four games, Silver Wolf has sincerely apologized for his critical review of Bl, saying that his talent had run dry.
They asked him if he could come up with a few more games like that if he had the chance to do it again.
The sound of the abacus beads traveled directly from the secret outpost of the distant Star Core Hunters to his ears.
Bai Luan's response to this was:
Haha, I won't do it.
Honkai Impact 3rd has only developed less than one percent of these four games.
Clever strategies for Terraria.
Various mods and gameplay options for Minecraft.
Several DLCs for Dead Cells.
The daily leisure farming in Stardew Valley.
Go ahead and study these things; you could play them at a high intensity for a lifetime without any problem.
As for the collaboration with Robin, wow, that was really great! I can hear those three songs everywhere I go now.
It's incredibly hot.
However, the personal account caused a little trouble.
The sharp-eyed crew members on the space station had already found clues in the familiar kitchen background and were trying to uncover his true identity.
But it's okay.
Bai Luan is never worried about being exposed.
As soon as the clues first appeared, he donned the skin of a "prophet" and transformed himself into the "first person to discover the slightest clue," pulling all these enthusiastic detectives into one group.
Today, he is the leader of this "stripping special forces team".
Every week, he would drop some seemingly logical but actually nonsensical "major clues" in the group chat, watching them analyze, argue, and go off-topic as if they had found a treasure... he never tired of it.
Under their wise leadership, they will surely be able to...
Yes, we're getting further and further away from the truth.
How interesting!
Bai Luan followed the principle of self-discipline, jogging slowly in the space station and running through the various modules.
I saw Alan and Pepe playing electronic frisbee.
I saw Linggan Mushroom and the clerk slacking off and chatting.
Xiu was somewhat helplessly surrounded by a group of staff members who mainly focused on mechanical structures.
There's nothing surprising about intelligent life forms, but it's truly amazing that man-made machines can create things that are almost indistinguishable from intelligent life forms.
These clerks brought new clerks on a pilgrimage; building such creations was the pinnacle of their main focus.
Whenever a new member joins the team, the senior members would take the new member to see the ceiling.
You can even talk to the ceiling and make friends with it.
This has become a strange tradition among the mechanics on the Black Tower space station.
Bai Luan also saw the Starry Sky Train.
Yes, the Star Train.
It stopped on the platform of the Black Tower space station.
WC!
What did I just see?!
Bai Luan, who had only been passing by the platform, suddenly turned back as if she had pressed the rewind button.
The hatch slid open, and familiar figures stepped out one by one.
A girl stretching and yawning, her pink hair bouncing like cherry blossoms in March under the lights, March 7th.
Dan Heng, a black-haired youth with an expressionless face and eyes as calm as an ancient well.
There's also Walter Young, a bespectacled man with a sophisticated and composed demeanor.
And... that fiery red-haired, elegant and composed navigator, Himeko.
Bai Luan rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things, then pinched herself.
It's not a dream.
Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?
The train is really at the Black Tower Space Station now!?
What's going on?
Bai Luan then noticed a familiar figure next to the train; it was the Black Tower doll.
Black Tower didn't seem surprised by the train's arrival and even greeted Himeko quite naturally.
Filled with doubt, Bai Luan ran over.
On the way Bai Luan ran over, Himeko was chatting with Heita.
"...These are all the things I asked you to find this time."
"Understood. It's the same as always. The train will stop here for a while to replenish supplies."
"Go and tell Estella all this, don't tell me. I don't care about these things anymore."
"Aista?"
"My new acting station manager."
"A new agent station manager? Now that you mention it, you also had an old agent station manager?"
Hearing footsteps, the Black Tower doll turned its head to look in Bai Luan's direction, then smiled and said:
"You've come at the perfect time."
The black tower doll raised its hand and pointed at Bai Luan, who was running towards it, saying:
"Let me introduce you. This is Bai Luan, the former acting station manager, and my assistant."
"I've never seen him before?"
"Of course you haven't seen him. He's the unlucky guy trapped in the time turbulence."
"Oh, it's him. Looks like you managed to rescue him?"
"Aren't the results obvious?"
As they were talking, Bai Luan ran to the front of the train.
Looking at the familiar faces on the train, Bai Luan was at a loss for words.
Just as Bai Luan was about to freeze in embarrassment, the Black Tower puppet spoke:
"You've come at the right time. These people are... never mind, they're too much trouble."
The Black Tower doll addressed Himeko and the train crew:
"Please introduce yourselves."
Then she looked at Bai Luan and instructed him:
"Bai Luan, they'll be staying at the Black Tower Space Station for a while. You'll be their guide, helping them pass the time here. I'm leaving it to you. Bye."
After saying this, the Great Black Tower disconnected, and the Black Tower doll reverted to an ordinary doll.
Bai Luan felt somewhat helpless.
That's why he sometimes avoids the Great Black Tower.
I don't know when this job fell to me.
However, it was precisely because of this that Bai Luan was able to get rid of the state of not knowing what to say.
"The Black Tower is still the same as always. Hello, nice to meet you. I am the navigator of the Starry Sky Train. Just call me Himeko."
Chapter 62 I Capture Myself
"My name is Bai Luan."
"Those people over there are Walter Yang, March 7th, and Danheng, all members of the train crew. They are discussing the next steps."
"Well, that's enough of the introduction. I've heard a little about your deeds, and I know you better than you think."
"Oh? Is that so? It's good to save myself some trouble. The train needs to replenish supplies, and I'll take the opportunity to meet the new acting stationmaster."
Himeko methodically sorted out the current situation and made arrangements.
"So just tell me where I can find Estád."
I don't know where Estád is now either.
Bai Luan took out his phone and said:
"How about this, let's add each other as friends, and I'll recommend Estella to you."
"That's for the best."
Estella accepted the friend request very quickly and soon learned about the situation from Himeko, sending her her location.
After seeing the location message on her phone, Himeko smiled and looked at Bai Luan:
"I've received the location, so I'm done with my work."
