The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 946 A Golden Crow (Part 20)

Liu Sheng was still a little dazed when, in the next second, a lively musical rhythm came from afar.

It was extremely loud in the quiet mountain forest.

Immediately following was a loud singing voice from several people.

Liu Sheng couldn't understand what the song was about, with its highs and lows, but He Tao's body instincts kicked in, and she subconsciously struck a dance pose, her feet itching to move.

Liu Sheng quickly controlled her involuntary hands and feet, met Officer Yang's complicated expression, and, to cover her embarrassment, coughed lightly and asked:
"How did you know?"

"I knew what it was as soon as I heard the intro!" He gritted his teeth, revealing a constipated expression.

Liu Sheng was surprised that Officer Yang was quite knowledgeable; no wonder he was the father of that so-called "shared responsibility".

As you walk further ahead, you can see a sliver of light shining through the woods.

The music grew louder and louder.

We walked until we saw several giant lights set up in the woods, illuminating the surrounding area brightly.

A large group of people gathered inside and outside the lights, each with their own role—some held up cameras, some hung microphones, and others held white boards to reflect the people inside, making them appear snow-white and translucent.

In the center of the crowd were a dozen or so handsome young men who looked exactly alike, with skin as smooth as jade and features as exquisite as paintings, yet they were performing a stiff and strange dance.

In Liu Sheng's view, they were almost identical to Zheng Qiran's family whom he had seen last night, as well as the stiff "driver" on the bus just now.

This idea was immediately ridiculed by the "world" that frequently surfs the internet:
This is called robot dance, you know?

Yes, yes, you know best.

However, Liu Sheng also knew that these teenagers were He Tao's favorite LBKids, and they were probably filming a program in this forest.

Judging from this, it should not be far from Zhengjia Village.

I haven't been online in ages...it's painful...

The world, which was groaning in pain, suddenly exclaimed in delight:
[Hey! They have WiFi! Let me crack the password... It's so easy, it's just "LBKidsYGF@BBYXS", thanks LBKids! I love them!]

Wait, what does this password mean?

At this moment, memories of "He Tao" surfaced. Combining this with the pinyin of the Eastern Empire's language, Liu Sheng realized that this should be the abbreviation of "LBKids bravely fly, BBs will always be with you".

"BB" is the fan name, and she is one of the "BB" fans.

No, no, it's not her, it's "He Tao".

Liu Sheng quickly distanced himself from the situation.

However, judging from Officer Yang's gaze, she was undoubtedly a member of "BB," especially since his meaningful eyes lingered on Liu Sheng's phone.

Liu Sheng followed the gaze and looked down.

The phone case and acrylic pendant are both "LBKids" merchandise.

Only then did I understand why Officer Yang had assumed from the beginning that he had come to follow LBkids and had no doubt about her explanation.

It turns out, it was exposed from the very beginning.

Why doesn't He Tao throw these things away even though she doesn't like them anymore? She only threw away the posters!

Liu Sheng's face was burning hot, and he was screaming inwardly.

[This might mean she just doesn't like the poster, rather than actually unfollowing her.]

The world offers a unique perspective.

Liu Sheng suddenly realized that it made a lot of sense.

If Zheng Qiran were to actually target "He Tao," it seems unlikely to involve anything like a physical implant, as she simply lacks the necessary skills and techniques to operate on "He Tao."

Looking at it now, it seems more like some kind of mental implantation.

So it's very likely that it's on the poster that He Tao looks at every day.

Unfortunately, we threw away all of these posters on the first day.

Only then did Liu Sheng feel a pang of regret.

As the music ended, a large group of people gathered around and patted, poked, and touched the faces of these fair-skinned boys.

Yang Lingfeng grumbled about the "young heartthrob" but still earnestly raised his phone to record a video, presumably intending to show it to his daughter.

He also said to Liu Sheng, "Such a rare opportunity, why don't you go up and ask them for autographs?"

His face showed a restless, eager expression, as if he wanted it.

However, as Yang Lingfeng approached, a chubby man wearing headphones immediately said menacingly:
"No outsiders allowed, we are filming a program!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we're just passing by," Yang Lingfeng said, rubbing his hands sheepishly. "I was thinking, could we get an autograph later? My daughter really likes them..."

"No." The other party coldly refused.

Yang Lingfeng blushed.

I felt too embarrassed to stay any longer.

Just as they were about to leave, they noticed that Liu Sheng was focused and staring intently at the boys who had just finished touching up their makeup and were about to start the next game under the guidance of the host.

He tugged at the girl's sleeve: "Come on, you don't want to leave?"

Liu Sheng immediately adopted a look of "reluctant parting and pitiful appearance":

"Officer Yang, may I stay here a little longer?"

"They just rejected us. Besides, I have urgent business to attend to..."

“I’m thick-skinned, I’ll just watch for a little while. You can go directly to the village, you don’t need to wait for me.”

Yang Lingfeng frowned, but considering the urgency of the matter, he could only nod: "Alright, I'll go to the village. Be careful, you're just a young girl."

After saying that, he turned and left, disappearing into the shadows of the woods.

As Liu Sheng watched his departing figure, her expression grew increasingly somber. She turned to look at the boys under the lamplight, her face also grave.

She didn't want to leave because she saw something that Yang Lingfeng couldn't see.

She had been in a meditative, spiritual state for a while.

So when she focused her gaze on these boys, she saw—

Within these youths, wisps of energy emanated, like golden threads, slowly flowing from the depths of their bodies, extending into the distance, and merging into some unknown place in the village.

Even more bizarrely, a nearly broken golden thread also extended faintly toward them from her own body.

This is the power of faith!

Liu Sheng was very familiar with this.

More importantly, as she approached them, the dark shadow that had been lingering behind her and gradually closing in due to [OOC Index: 55%] slowly retreated a bit.

The chilling cold that seeped from the very marrow of my bones finally faded away little by little, and the summer heat gradually returned.

She wasn't sure if the bus accident was caused by the dark figure.

Or perhaps, "He Tao" is simply a person with a knack for disasters.

People die wherever they go...

As darkness fell, the indescribable feeling of loss of control intensified, as if she were sitting on a roller coaster without safety features, forced to plunge into an unknown abyss.

Liu Sheng still sometimes thinks of Zheng Qiran's family.

It's unclear whether the strange occurrence was caused by Zheng Qiran's corpse or by her arrival.

If it were the latter, she would be truly uneasy.

But she didn't know how to control it and couldn't find the culprit at all, which was driving her crazy.

When this feeling returned, Liu Sheng became even more afraid, fearing that she might harm that talkative Officer Yang.

He seems like a good person.

So it's time to part ways.

At this moment, she was enveloped in warmth, brightness, and an almost illusory beauty.

Is this what it feels like to be a fan?

Liu Sheng suddenly felt that he seemed to understand "He Tao" a little.

"No, I feel like you didn't understand..." "World" said silently.

Just then, several clear and magnetic voices suddenly shouted in unison:
"Hey, are those our fans over there?"

"BB! BB!" [Your idols are calling you.] "The World" gave Liu Sheng a push in the sea of ​​her heart.

"I?"

Liu Sheng froze, pointing to her nose, looking at the group of boys waving at her in disbelief.

"Of course it's you!"

"You're probably the only one who could chase BB all the way here, right?"

Two boys who looked almost identical responded to her with smiles.

The other boys also wore gentle and polite smiles, as warm and bright as the spring sunshine.

Liu Sheng even felt that the negative impact of the [OOC Index] had basically disappeared.

But at the same time, a cold and hostile gaze quietly swept over.

It was the chubby guy who had just rejected Yang Lingfeng. According to the information He Tao had about LBKids, this should be their manager.

I guess he probably sees her as a "sasaeng fan" just like Yang Lingfeng did.

But LBKids didn't seem to mind and still waved for her to come over.

Even the tall, beautiful female host added with a smile, "It's okay, we welcome babies as long as they're babies! Perfect timing, let's play a little game together."

"Director Wu, is this alright?"

The director next to him twitched his lips, his eyes rolling back slightly.

[They've already asked you, no wonder the director rolls his eyes.]

"World" is very perceptive about the interpersonal relationships in the human world and immediately provides commentary and analysis.

Perhaps it was the warmth emanating from these young people, or perhaps it was the direction He Tao's heart longed for, that made Liu Sheng unconsciously walk slowly towards the spotlight.

Finally exposed to the light of day, Liu Sheng's image sparked a flurry of discussion.

"Oh dear, why is the little girl dressed like that?"

"It's a bit dirty, what is this, blood?"

"Should we do her makeup?"

"Never mind, we'll just say they're women left behind in the village, and that we federal kids are doing charity work..."

With everyone in agreement, the host smiled warmly.

"Little girl, say hello to the camera."

Liu Sheng stared blankly at the camera and waved her hand.

At this moment, as she approached LBKids, the flow of those golden threads became clearer, and they even faintly condensed into several golden figures in the sky above the forest, silently watching her with their heads down.

It's similar to a "deity," but Liu Sheng has a doubt that it isn't.

"Little girl, you're a fan of LBKids, right?"

"...Well, that's right."

"Did you come specifically for LBKids?"

"Yes, I heard they're coming to Shanhai City soon."

"Ahem, stay behind, stay behind!" This was different from what was planned, Director Wu whispered a reminder.

The host ignored her and stared intently at Liu Sheng, asking, "Oh? How did you know they would be here?"

Upon hearing this question, the host's eyes behind his glasses deepened, as if he were trying to see into Liu Sheng's heart.

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.

LBKids also surrounded Liu Sheng.

She saw those identical faces staring intently at her, each with the same smile on their lips.

Beyond the spotlight, those faces are hidden in the shadows, their expressions unreadable, only cold darkness.

"because……"

A strange pressure descended, and Liu Sheng inexplicably felt the need to give a proper answer.

At this moment, relevant information came from "the world":

[Because the program they're currently filming is called "Federal Boys Travel Around the Federation," and it abandons low-level entertainment, focusing on the concept of public welfare. They play games in remote mountainous areas to earn prize money for the program, and then use the prize money to buy supplies, improve infrastructure, visit villagers to bring them warmth, and create a better Federation...]

Liu Sheng recounted what the "world" had said, and then continued:
"If we follow this approach, you should go to a relatively remote mountainous area in Shanhai City. I observed the GDP ranking of villages and towns in this city, and Zhengjia Village has been ranked last for many years, which is why we decided on this location."

All information and data are sourced from the internet.

This time, Liu Sheng is with "the world":
[Thanks to LBKids for the WiFi! Hooray!]

Her reasons were well-reasoned, logical, and clear, leaving everyone stunned.

The host paused awkwardly for a moment, then took a while to regain his composure, before clapping with a forced laugh:
"This BB is truly exceptionally clever! It seems she really loves our Federation boy deeply. Let's all give her a round of applause!"

A round of applause immediately erupted from both the stage and the audience.

Director Wu muttered to himself, "Not bad, not bad, this is exactly the core spirit of my show. They can even see through these... sasaeng fans. I've got the variety show awards in the bag."

The fifteen federal lads were also smiling and clapping.

They still wore the same smiles, showing eight teeth in a standard way, seemingly due to some kind of training requirement.

Even the frequency, movements, and rhythm of their clapping were exactly the same.

The sounds blended together sounded as if they were filmed by the same person.

Liu Sheng felt a slight chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

At this point, the host laughed and said, "To reward this clever BB, how about giving her a chance to ask our LBKids a question?"

The fifteen pink and white boys looked at each other, but since there wasn't an even number, one of them glanced at the air and smiled.

Finally, filled with excitement, they all shouted in unison, "Great!"

Liu Sheng said, "Can I ask any question?"

"Of course, anything too private is not allowed!"

The host smiled and winked at Liu Sheng, her red lips curving slightly.

The boys also burst into light and melodious laughter.

Neat and perfectly placed, as if it had been pre-designed.

"Let me think..." Liu Sheng pondered for a moment, then looked at them and said, word by word:

"Why have you become like this?"

This question once again brought the entire room to a sudden silence, with only the chirping of insects in the woods remaining.

Then even the chirping of insects disappeared.

Darkness enveloped her, but Liu Sheng felt all eyes were fixed on her, as if they were burning a hole in her.

"What kind of appearance are you describing?"

The host broke the silence, his smile still on his face.

"So...warm, bright, and beautiful?" Liu Sheng couldn't find the right words, so she could only say this.

"Of course it's because of you!" the boys exclaimed in unison. "Our existence is forever for your expectations! For BB!"

This is a heartwarming statement. If He Tao were here, she would probably be moved to tears.

But to Liu Sheng, it only sent chills down his spine.

Especially the last sentence, repeated over and over, like a cassette player skipping.

"For the baby!"

"For the baby!"

"For the baby!"

Liu Sheng slowly looked around.

The entire production crew had the same face.

White and smooth, delicate, with a standard curve.
