The Cocoon of Finality Isn't Very Bright (Continued)
Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, Bai Ge turned around and saw an elegant beauty with wine-red hair walking towards him.
I was pleasantly surprised.
I never expected to see Eden at the base today.
Since joining the Moth Chasing Fire, Eden has been very busy. She has invested heavily in charity, helping countless people displaced by the Honkai, and building countless schools, orphanages, welfare facilities, and nursing homes.
Occasionally, he would hold concerts in places where public sentiment was wavering.
Therefore, although she was just a big star artist, she played an admirable role in this catastrophe that concerned the survival of the world.
Not long ago, a famous critic said that entertainment will eventually die, and people will have to give up all unnecessary entertainment in order to survive.
In fact, many stars from the Previous Civilization have already retired one after another. Although the Moth Chasing Fire, under the leadership of Bai Ge, is still successfully suppressing the Honkai and maintaining a great advantage.
But people aren't truly ignorant. Knowing how terrible a catastrophe the Honkai is, they have no desire to support young heartthrobs or anything like that.
But Eden is different.
She symbolizes the art of this era.
Art will never die.
Because art is the crystallization of human wisdom and history, it will accompany human society as it progresses. Therefore, as long as human times do not end, art will not disappear.
That's why Eden continues to shine so brightly, because she is the art of this era itself.
"It's been a long time, my dear Eden. I haven't heard you sing for me lately, and my heart is tired."
Bai Ge opened his arms and gave Eden a warm hug.
"Hehe, you're exaggerating too much."
"No, I'm serious. My ears are completely captivated by Eden's songs."
"Hehe~ Thank you. But it's been a long time. Bai Ge, why do you sound more and more like Aili? Hmm? You seem to have a strange fragrance?"
Eden raised an eyebrow and sniffed.
Bai Ge was immediately startled, thinking to herself, "Are all women's noses this sensitive?"
"Ahem! Hey Eden, what do you want from me?"
"Hmm? Bai Ge, why do you look a little nervous? Never mind, I'm here to invite you to perform with me again this time. I hope you won't refuse."
Eden said, taking a flyer out of his pocket.
That was promotion for her concert; a week later, this Superstar would be holding a grand concert in the Australia, a long-awaited event.
"I'm currently recruiting a pianist, Bai Ge. Could I ask you for one more time? Consider it a reward for my hard work these past few days, okay?"
Eden pleaded in a coquettish manner.
"Of course, it would be my honor."
Bai Ge accepted the singer's invitation with a smile.
But the next second his gaze sharpened, and he looked at the concert flyer in his hand with a serious expression.
In the game of the previous life, the Herrscher of the Previous Civilization rarely had their exact appearance times recorded.
However, the appearance of the Seventh Herrscher is quite clear.
Even who will become the Herrscher has been determined.
Bai Ge unconsciously clenched the flyer in his hand. He knew that the Seventh Herrscher would be holding a concert in Eden on this day! And the Herrscher's original form was Himiko!
She is Himeko's counterpart from a different timeline in Previous Civilization.
(This is an opportunity, a great opportunity, to test myself and see if I can minimize casualties—no, to cause absolutely no damage—when I know the exact time and place of the Herrscher's arrival!)
Bai Ge felt himself burning with passion, and even if it wasn't for these reasons, just for Eden's sake, he had to deal with the Seventh Herrscher perfectly!
Because he knew that the Seventh Great Honkai in the original storyline was the turning point in Eden's fate.
The Flame Herrscher's great fire burned away Eden's identity as a 'singer,' forcing this star, who should have been holding a microphone on stage, to step onto the battlefield and pick up dual pistols.
Even so, Eden still shines brightly.
But Bai Ge wouldn't allow that to happen.
"Eden, I will protect your stage, protect your era, and I will make you shine forever."
"Bai Ge, why did you suddenly say something like that? I wasn't prepared for this."
"Hmm, although I feel like you've got it all wrong, I've agreed to this collaboration. Send me the song list later, and we'll put on the grandest and most spectacular concert of the century together."
Bai Ge rubbed his hands together, eager to try his hand at the concert. He added that there would be a special audience member at the concert, Herrscher, and he would have to treat him well.
"Uh, okay..."
Eden blinked, looking at the enthusiastic White Youth in front of him, and felt that this boy was not going to perform on stage with him, but rather going to the battlefield.
(Wait a minute, now that I already know who it is, could I... maybe find a loophole?)
Suddenly, Bai Ge seemed to have thought of something and her eyes lit up. She quickly turned around and reopened the door to the psychological counselor's office.
"Aponia, I have something very important to ask you now... Uh, sorry, sorry, please continue, take your time."
"Please, don't look at me!"
The excited boy forgot to knock, and as soon as he entered, he saw a nun changing her clothes.
Even though Aponia was a compassionate priestess, and even though the two of them had been intimate not long ago, her face still turned red at this moment. She shyly covered herself while issuing the commandments.
Eden witnessed this scene as well.
"Um, Aponia, why are you changing clothes in the consultation room in broad daylight?"
"... I'm fine, Eden. I just did a little exercise and sweated a bit."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Eden's eye twitched slightly.
She wasn't some Kiana would be easily fooled. Exercise? She believed it, but was it legitimate exercise?
I only approached Bai Ge after I saw him come out of the counseling room, but as soon as he came out, Aponia was changing clothes in the counseling room.
In addition, you said you were exercising just now, so please tell me, with Bai Ge Aponia, what kind of exercise did you do to sweat so much that you needed to change your clothes immediately?
"Eden, please..."
"Aponia, I won't allow it."
"... Yes, sir, Bai Ge."
Just as Baige was about to offer a word of commandment to the all-knowing Eden, Aponia was immediately Bai Ge.
Neither of them expected that the constraints they had just set would soon come into use.
(Oh dear, I almost did something bad again.)
Aponia silently repented and apologized to Eden.
Because the power of discipline is so convenient, ever since she obtained it, she has instinctively wanted to rely on it for everything.
Aponia knew this was a bad habit, which is why she felt fortunate now.
(Ah, that's wonderful. I've handed over the chains that bind me to Bai Ge. It was absolutely the right choice. As long as he's here, I don't have to worry about my precepts turning into mistakes.)
"..."
Eden stared at the two of them speechlessly.
It seems that while I've been busy all over the world, my progress in winning over Bai Ge has fallen far behind. Speaking of which, did I almost get done something terrible to just now?
Eden was already considering whether he should go to Mobius for a Hypermutation Surgery later.
She wasn't afraid the Snakey wouldn't agree.
Faced with the financial power of a rich woman, Snakey, whose budget is always being cut, would never have any reason to refuse.
A minute Aponia had changed her clothes.
"Bai Ge, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Okay, come with me quickly. I need you to place a commandment on someone, Eden. I'll talk to you about the concert later. See you later!"
"Wow, you're such a busy person."
Watching the boy hurriedly leave with the nun, Eden sighed helplessly.
She then looked around to make sure no one was there before walking straight into the counseling room and looking around very carefully.
Inside the dormitory of the captain-level members of the Moth Chasing Fire.
"Is Himiko here? It's me. Open the door."
"They're here, they're here."
After Bai Ge knocked on the door for a while, a beautiful woman with fiery red hair and a proud figure opened the door. Bai immediately noticed the scattered beer bottles, half-eaten instant noodles, and black lace underwear lying around in the room.
"No wonder she's thirty and still can't find a boyfriend."
"... None of your business!"
