Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

She likes the feeling of being stared at by all the audience and likes hearing the voices of praise... This sense of satisfaction is much stronger than when she was in [Mygo].

but……

The figure of Gao Songdeng appeared in my mind.

She once promised Deng that she would go back and continue to form a band with them.

If I change my mind now, wouldn’t that be breaking my promise?

Aine clutched the edge of her clothes tightly, her fingertips turning slightly white.

Should I go back or stay?

Her heart was wavering between the two choices, and even when she was watching the performance on the stage, her thoughts were completely distracted.

However, at this moment——

"boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening thunder exploded in the sky, and the lightning danced like a silver snake, instantly illuminating the entire music festival!

Aiyin's body shook violently. Just as she raised her head, she saw a huge lightning bolt falling on the stage like a punishment from heaven, accurately hitting the singing and dancing girl idol - Mizuno Ai!

In the strong light, Mizuno Ai's figure was engulfed by lightning, and then fell to the ground with a loud bang, leaving only charred marks on the entire stage.

Her once beautiful stage costume was now burnt and tattered, and her body was motionless.

She was struck by lightning!

Aine’s pupils contracted violently, her entire body froze, and she even forgot to breathe.

Fear spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body, and she suddenly remembered - she had just performed in the same place!

If this rain had started from the beginning, would I be the one struck by lightning?!

A chill instantly ran up her spine to her scalp. Aine felt her limbs go weak and her face turned pale.

She wasn't the only one who was frightened.

The girls standing next to Aine also had pale faces, their mouths slightly open, but no sound came out.

They wanted to go forward but were stopped by security personnel under the stage. They could only look at Mizuno Ai lying on the stage from afar, anxiously and fearfully waiting for news.

But all they got were scattered rumors—

Some said she was dead, some said she was still alive but in critical condition, and some said it was a punishment from God...all sorts of statements made them even more uneasy.

They weren't sure how serious what had happened.

Until Taku Hoshikawa, an insider who had close contact with Mizuno Ai, stepped down.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Hoshikawa Taku, waiting for his answer.

Facing their anxious expressions, Xingchuan Taku simply shrugged and said casually, "As you can see, she was struck by lightning. She received emergency treatment from the doctor on the scene and has now been sent to the hospital."

"As for whether she can survive, it depends on God's will."

It really depends on fate. Taku Hoshikawa has done everything he can. If she dies after failed rescue according to the original plot line, Taku Hoshikawa will have no choice.

Hoshikawa Taku temporarily put aside Mizuno Ai's affairs and suggested to everyone: "Now that the music festival is over, should we have a celebration party?"

"It's already this late, and we're still having a celebration party. Someone just got struck by lightning right in front of us!"

The girls' eyes were filled with disbelief, as if they couldn't understand why he could remain so calm.

Hoshikawa Taku threw up his hands helplessly. "Why can't we have a celebration banquet? People's joys and sorrows are inherently different. If you were driving and saw someone in front of you had an accident, would you be so worried that you couldn't eat?"

In this world, people are dying every minute. If the doctors in the hospital chose to punish themselves by not eating because a patient died, then all the doctors in the hospital would probably starve to death.

That's the truth, but it's obvious that the girls in front of Taku Hoshikawa don't have the ability to bear it. They have all lost interest and are in no mood to celebrate.

Even the adult group including Hiroi Kikuri were in the same situation and were quite frightened.

Seeing this, Taku Hoshikawa had no choice but to send them all back one by one and hold the celebration party another day.

Chapter 181: There are no living legends in Night City.

After returning home that night, Takuya Hoshikawa, who had been busy all day, had no time to think about anything else and fell asleep quickly.

When he woke up the next morning, he found that the system had automatically settled the task and was waiting for him to collect the reward.

【Complete the mission: Conquer the open-air music festival! 】

[The host obtains special skills: Stage Coordinator Master.]

The firm received 300 million yen in funding.

[Reach second place in discussion among all bands participating in the festival and receive a special reward - the agency and its bands will gain greater exposure, attract more industry insiders, and receive more invitations.]

【Stage Coordinator Master】: The host has mastered top-level stage coordination capabilities. Not only can he plan the most suitable stage plan based on the theme of the performance and the performance style of the artists, but he can also accurately dispatch lighting, sound, stage design and other aspects to ensure a smooth and error-free performance.

At the bottom of the system interface, there is a line of text.

[This task can be retained for three days. If the discussion increases, additional rewards can be added.]

[Does the host choose to receive the reward immediately? ]

Taku Hoshikawa had already completed the task easily before he even used the Internet for promotional operations.

If this music festival had ended successfully without any problems, even with many well-known bands present, Taku Hoshikawa would have wanted to compete for the top spot.

But... the current "number one" cannot be defeated by crazy publicity and promotion alone, and staying for three more days is a waste of time.

"Get it now."

Hoshikawa Taku said to the system without hesitation.

As soon as Hoshikawa Taku finished speaking, a huge stream of information rushed into the depths of his consciousness like a torrent.

In an instant, a magnificent stage seemed to appear before Hoshikawa Taku's eyes.

Dazzling lights shone in an interlaced manner, a huge LED screen played images with strong visual impact, and the sound system surrounded the stage, echoing with shocking sound waves.

The audience was packed with people, and thousands of glow sticks danced in the darkness, like a sea of ​​stars.

At the same time, countless professional knowledge about stage coordination seemed to be forcibly engraved into his brain, and each one was extremely clear.

The focus is on knowledge of personnel scheduling and the choreography of performance processes.

How does a stage manager assign tasks? Sound engineers, lighting engineers, special effects engineers, stage mechanics, choreographers, camera crews—what does each position need to do, and how can they be directed to operate efficiently in the shortest possible time?

In the event of an emergency, how can we make the quickest decision to ensure that the performance goes smoothly?

How should you choose an opening song to instantly ignite the audience? How should you adjust the tempo midway through a performance to ensure the audience doesn't tire from the long hours? How should you plan the encore to ensure a successful conclusion with the audience roaring in delight?

The huge amount of information made cold sweat seep out of Taku Hoshikawa's forehead. His fingers curled up slightly, feeling the pain of the brain load, and even his breathing became a little disordered.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

When Taku Hoshikawa opened his eyes again, he had become a "director" with rich experience in stage coordination.

If he were asked to prepare a concert now, he could quickly build a complete plan in his mind, from pre-planning to on-site execution, from lighting layout to dealing with emergencies, everything would be under control.

After gaining this knowledge, Taku Hoshikawa recalled the director he had been working with and couldn't help but feel a bit of respect in his heart.

That man actually knows so much professional knowledge... No wonder he was chosen by a rich woman to be her son-in-law.

Whatever came to mind came to mind. Just as Taku Hoshikawa was organizing the various knowledge points in his mind, the director called him.

Taku Hoshikawa curled the corners of his mouth and picked up the phone.

"Brother Xingchuan, it's already ten o'clock and I'm calling you. I hope I'm not disturbing you."

The director's voice was a little cautious, as if he was worried about disturbing Taku Hoshikawa.

"What are you doing disturbing me? You don't think I spent the whole night with other people, do you?"

Hoshikawa Taku said half-jokingly.

"Huh? Isn't that right? You went back with so many girls."

The director really thought so.

"It's difficult to start precisely because there are so many people."

Hoshikawa Taku sighed helplessly, "Besides, after what happened yesterday, how could I have the energy to do something like that?"

The director on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, his tone revealing a hint of fatigue: "That's true... I didn't sleep well last night either."

Xingchuan Taku opened the curtains casually, looked at the sky outside, and asked: "How is Mizuno Ai now?"

"He's not out of danger yet, but his condition is gradually stabilizing. The doctor said he should be able to survive."

The director's voice was filled with relief. "It's a good thing you brought a medical kit with you. Otherwise, even if you were a minute later, her life might not have been saved."

The director paused and said, "By the way, Mizuno Ai's agent asked me about your situation. She is still busy in the hospital and doesn't have time to come see you."

"Once we confirm that Mizuno Ai's condition has stabilized, I will probably contact you specifically to express my gratitude."

Hoshikawa Taku doesn't care about this kind of thing.

"There's no rush to thank me. Let's wait until Mizuno Ai wakes up."

The two of them sighed for a while, and then Taku Hoshikawa hung up the phone.

Then, he got up, washed up, and casually opened the social networking site.

He found that the entire Internet was currently hotly searched about this open-air music festival.

When Taku Hoshikawa clicked on the entry, he found that "Extension Line Band" and "Guitar Hero" were highly discussed, and their popularity reached the second place in the entire entry.

As for the first place, it undoubtedly belongs to the "unshakable" chosen idol - Mizuno Ai.

After fermenting overnight, news about her has swept the entire Internet.

Her topic is currently number one in Japan and has already made it into the top ten hot searches worldwide. Judging from the current trend, she may even reach number one on the global list in a few hours.

This was also what Taku Hoshikawa had expected.

News like "an idol was struck by lightning during a concert" is really too bizarre.

What's more, when the live video was played in slow motion, people discovered an even more horrifying fact - in just four seconds, a total of 28 lightning bolts all struck Mizuno Ai accurately!

Generally speaking, lightning rarely strikes the same place repeatedly.

But this time, in the entire performance venue, only Mizuno Ai was struck by lightning, and the surrounding audience was not even hurt.

She was the only victim in the entire scene.

This bizarre phenomenon caused countless people to start wildly speculating, and all kinds of comments swept the entire Internet.

Some people said it was a natural disaster, some thought it was a bizarre coincidence, but some people began to construct a more shocking story -

"She took all the damage on her own to protect her fans."

"For the safety of everyone, she chose to bear all the heavenly punishment herself."

"She is the saint chosen by God."

As such remarks continued to ferment, Mizuno Ai's image was no longer just an ordinary idol, but was shaped into an almost sacred existence.

Some people have already regarded her various peripherals as tributes and started burning incense and praying for her.

This adds to the legendary color of Mizuno Ai.

As Taku Hoshikawa was browsing through the discussions among netizens, he couldn't help but sigh.

Although there are no living legends in Night City, Taku Hoshikawa still hopes that Mizuno Ai, the "legendary idol", can survive.

……

Ps: I heard that Mujica will have a sequel, but I feel it will not be the third season, but a theatrical version.

However, it will probably take a year or two for the theatrical version to be released.

No matter how well the theatrical version performs, it cannot change the fact that Mujica is a bad movie, making it almost impossible for thirteen to catch up with one.

Can a movie version fully explain the darkness of the Toyokawa family, Miku Hatsune's sister, Wakaba Mu's multiple personalities, and the reasons for the contrast between Hailing?

It's impossible, don't expect it. What's more likely is that a new plot will be started directly, and then a live show will be used to connect with other universes of Bang Bang to create a linkage.

It's just like the annual Kamen Rider movie.

There are no more miracles. My assessment of Mujica is final.

However, although Mujica is terrible and I cursed it while watching it, I will not regret watching this work.
