(Miluno)
I woke up in reality.
I was still locked in a pitch-black cage.
The cage hung directly above the Great Will's enormous pit.
Twilight-like darkness enveloped me, continuously being converted into Radiance.
The environment here was terrible.
I could close my eyes and go to the Lunar Palace in the New World. Though it was also a "prison" in nature, it was at least comfortable there...
But I had no intention of enjoying comfort.
Staying in reality allowed me to see things I could not notice while inside the virtual world.
Mi Xue had not forbidden me from going online. Although I could not watch the immersive live concert through the Thought Network, I could still access the two livestream rooms and even vote.
Though no matter whom I voted for, my vote would not affect the final outcome.
I sensed something off.
"Hey, you tampered with the vote data, didn't you?"
Mi Xue instead asked, "Auntie, why would you say that?"
"The voting data is far too abnormal."
"Abnormal? No, it isn't? Aren't both sides' numbers about the same~?"
"Cut it out. The fact that they're the same is exactly the problem. Ceruno's current popularity cannot compare to Black Rabbit's at all. You can see the gap between them just from the number of comments. Since the votes are anonymous, you manipulated things behind the scenes, didn't you?"
Mi Xue's avatar appeared inside the cage and asked,
"What reason would I have to do that? Or rather, what would I gain from it?"
"Obviously, you wanted to stop the audience from sympathizing with Ceruno because of it. After all, the voting results are meaningless. So-called faith ultimately depends on the weight each side holds in people's hearts... At the same time, this could numb Ceruno's sense of tension,
