Simulation of Destruction, Why Am I Always the Arbiter

So, he specifically chose disaster-stricken areas to hold concerts, and then interspersed the performance of the Chang'an Melody in the middle of the concerts.

He couldn't save the people who had already died in the Destruction, but he could save those who had been infected with the Destruction Sickness without realizing it.

Before they could even finish one tour, he and Eden were already 20 years old, and they had also won the award for "World's Most Popular Singer Duo."

It was a title similar to a generational superstar, but not quite there yet.

They weren't in a hurry, holding a grand wedding before continuing their concert tour.

Honeymoon trip? What a joke, every concert tour was a honeymoon trip, understand?

The concert tours, which resembled charity concerts, continued. They appeared to be just a unique married couple, with nothing deeper to consider.

However, a doctor from the Moth of the Fire had their eyes on them.

"Sleepless Chang'an, what exactly are you two up to?"

Tapping her fingers on the table, Mobius frowned as she looked at a group photo of "Sleepless Chang'an," which was the married couple.

Mobius wasn't a fan, nor did she like music.

Obsessed with research, she even considered music to be noise, disliking and not wanting to listen to it.

She truly had no interest in music.

Compared to listening to songs, she preferred experiments, experiments that could allow humanity to evolve.

But experiments required test subjects, and she was severely lacking in test subjects right now.

Ever since she was invited to join the Moth of the Fire, she had never had enough test subjects.

She had complained about this problem to her superiors, but they were also helpless.

"Doctor Mobius, I understand your urgency, but please also understand our difficulties.

If there were suitable test subjects, we would definitely bring them to you.

But the problem is, there are no suitable test subjects. You can't expect me to capture healthy people and hand them over for your experiments, can you?"

No suitable test subjects? Mobius didn't believe it.

Not one bit.

Being in the Moth of the Fire, she knew how many small-scale Destructions had erupted around the world, and she was also aware that each outbreak added many people infected with the Destruction Sickness to the world.

As soon as these infected people entered the critical phase, they would be captured by the Moth of the Fire for isolation and treatment. If the treatment was ineffective, they would mutate into monsters.

These monsters were their test subjects.

Therefore, Mobius didn't believe the claim of having no test subjects, unless there was a way to curb the disease.

She didn't think such a method existed, so she just assumed her superiors were placating her. She kept pushing, and eventually, her superiors became numb and resigned.

"Doctor Mobius, we genuinely haven't found any suitable test subjects.

We regularly send people to check on the people in the disaster-stricken areas, and there really aren't any suitable for experimentation.

Let alone whether they are suitable or not, many of them who were originally sick are no longer sick."

After saying this, the superiors gave up and never answered Mobius's calls again, which made Mobius suspicious of the information.

People who were sick were no longer sick? Could it be that someone had actually found a cure?

She temporarily halted her experiments to conduct an investigation, visiting disaster areas in person to inquire about those recorded as infected, and subsequently received a speechless answer.

"What? You're talking about those strange markings that appeared on our bodies? I think there was something like that. I didn't even notice when they disappeared.

It should have been after that famous celebrity couple came and sang, their singing was so good, I still can't forget it."

Her visits to many places yielded similar answers, forcing Mobius to focus on "Sleepless Chang'an," the celebrity couple who specifically went to disaster-stricken areas.

She felt it was necessary to go and confirm it in person.

"Blanca, do you know where their next concert is?"

Mobius asked her recently hired assistant, holding a photo. She vaguely remembered this girl was a fan.

"Huh? Who are you talking about?"

Blanca turned her head in confusion, and upon seeing the photo in Mobius's hand, her eyes lit up.

"Wow, it's Sleepless Chang'an! Doctor, how do you have this photo? Are you their fan too?"

Blanca asked excitedly. This girl had become a loyal fan ever since she attended one of their concerts.

She liked Sleepless Chang'an's songs and also Chang'an's looks.

Her dorm room was filled with posters of Ye Chang'an, completely disregarding the fact that he was already a married man.

That's how fangirling is, I guess.

"Calm down, answer my question first."

Mobius raised an eyebrow and asked about the important matter, not wanting to discuss fangirling with Blanca.

She wasn't a fan.

"Oh, oh, what was the question again?" Blanca forgot.

"Do you know where their next concert is?"

"Concert? Of course, I do! Doctor, are you planning to go? Can you take me? I want to go too."

"...Then I'll have to ask you to buy two tickets. Reimburse me after you get them."

Mobius nodded in agreement.

"Yay~"

Blanca cheered, then remembered something and added, "Doctor, you don't need to buy tickets for Sleepless Chang'an's concerts. You can just go if you want to."

The group that specifically went to disaster areas to hold concerts never intended to make money.

Mobius didn't know this and was stunned on the spot.

Taking Blanca to where Sleepless Chang'an was about to hold their concert, Mobius frowned as she scanned the audience rushing to the venue.

Most people had Erosion Markings to varying degrees, likely caused by the disaster that broke out some time ago.

These people are mostly beyond saving.

Mobius sighed inwardly, thinking that those with more prominent Erosion Markings would soon be taken away by the soldiers of Moth of the Fire.

They had entered a dangerous period.

If not isolated in time, they might cause secondary disasters after mutating.

Moth of the Fire would not allow that to happen.

"Sigh~" With a sigh, Mobius felt a little tired, unable to figure out why she had come to watch a concert.

Music couldn't cure the people's ailments.

She waited disinterestedly, finally hearing the opening music of Sleepless Chang'an – Chang'an Melody.

PS: The fleeting marriage, sigh, there's nothing to be done. I don't want to describe the wedding in the simulation world too much. We'll have a proper ceremony in reality later.

Chapter of Creation: Journey to a New World: 19. Chang'an: Mobius, bring Blanca to the hotel with me.

Chang'an Melody was very pleasant to listen to, after all, it was composed by Eden, and the melody was very soothing.

Even Mobius, who disliked music, found it hard to dismiss this melody as noise, and her interest was piqued as she looked at the handsome flutist on stage.

It seems that photo didn't use beauty filters.

She admitted that Ye Chang'an looked as handsome as in the photo, but that was all.

After all, this handsome guy was taken. They had announced they were a couple when they debuted.

Mobius had no interest in handsome men or romance; she was solely focused on the research of human evolution.

However, since she was already here watching the concert, it wouldn't hurt to relax and enjoy it a little.

This melody is indeed quite nice.

To receive such an evaluation from her was enough to show how excellent Chang'an Melody was.

When the song ended, Mobius followed the crowd and applauded. She inadvertently noticed that the Erosion Markings on one of the audience members had changed.

…(⊙o⊙)…What, they're fading?

She was surprised and observed carefully, then frowned and compared it to the Erosion Markings in her memory.

They had indeed faded a bit.

But why? What factor caused the Erosion Markings to fade?

Mobius brainstormed but couldn't figure it out.

There were too few clues, and she couldn't be sure until the second Chang'an Melody played.

Sleepless Chang'an's traditional performance: they would play Chang'an Melody for you every so often.

Then Mobius discovered that the Erosion Markings on the audience members had faded even more.

Was it that piece of music just now?

She was stunned, finding it unbelievable.

Could music really have the effect of curing that disease? Impossible...

"Blanca, what was that song called?"

She asked her assistant, and Blanca immediately replied.

"That song was called Chang'an Melody, Doctor. Isn't it very nice? Let's play it in the lab every day."

This fangirl had long wanted to play Sleepless Chang'an's songs in the lab, but Mobius had forbidden it.

Perhaps I can try it.

Mobius felt it was necessary to test the Chang'an Melody.

What if it was actually useful, right?

So, she made a memo.

In the subsequent performance, Mobius put in her utmost effort.

She carefully observed the impact of different music on the audience's Erosion Markings.

She discovered that only when the Chang'an Melody was played did signs of fading appear.

Fortunately, Sleepless Chang'an liked to repeatedly play the Chang'an Melody at every concert, otherwise, she truly wouldn't have been able to draw a conclusion.

However, this conclusion couldn't be presented as a result yet.

As a researcher, she needed to put theory into practice.

During the curtain call, Mobius stood up and applauded along with the audience, staring thoughtfully at the two people on stage, pondering how to approach them.

Meanwhile, Ye Chang'an, who had finished his curtain call, spotted her, the conspicuous one, in the crowd.

"This person looks a lot like Mobius."

Green hair was rare, and Mobius always wore her lab's white coat, making her incredibly noticeable in a crowd.

Suspecting it might be her, Ye Chang'an picked up the microphone and chuckled.

"The performance was supposed to end here today, but I've suddenly felt inspired to invite an audience member onto the stage for a duet. Are you all willing to indulge my little whim?"

"Yes!"

The entire audience cheered, and Mobius almost fainted from Blanca's shout next to her.

"Heh, thank you everyone. Then I'll choose an audience member. Hmm, how about that lady over there? The lady with long green hair wearing a white coat, could I invite you to come up on stage?"

Ye Chang'an directly chose Mobius, leaving her completely bewildered.
