[Real World, Site 13]
Watching the scene where Jing Liuli voiced the most shocking ideas with the most innocent words, the dimensional audience got a profound understanding of "pink-haired-but-secretly-dark" for the first time.
Jing Liuli's role positioning in Stars has always been the group's darling and the innocent, pure girl.
Such a positioning made it difficult for anyone to associate the word 'scheming' with her.
But as the saying goes, 'the deeper the naivety, the darker the black.'
Listening to Jing Liuli's exaggerated idea of 'turning the world into a dream,' she still unconsciously became equated with a so-called 'Great BOSS' in the minds of some dimensional viewers.
Because, objectively speaking, it might be impossible for Jing Liuli, who commanded the Power of Dreams and held the status of a New Federation superstar, to 'control' powerful Star Emissaries like Tendo through dream power.
But if she were to control ordinary people, or Star Emissaries significantly weaker than her, it wouldn't be difficult at all.
More importantly, Jing Liuli's control was intangible.
She could fully utilize methods like holding 'concerts' and releasing 'albums.'
In a subtle, gradual way, she could influence one person after another who had watched her album or listened to her songs.
And turn these people into her most devout 'followers.'
Thinking of this, the dimensional viewers couldn't help but conjure a fervent image of 'fanatics' worshipping a deity.
And at the very center of this worship stood the 'innocent' Jing Liuli, eyes twinkling.
The deeper the kindness, the darker the 'evil'!
'Whoa, I feel like Liuli is trying to establish her own faction and unify the world!'
'Thinking carefully, it's no wonder the Star Frost Faction wants Jing Liuli so badly. She's practically a born missionary.'
'Turning the world into a giant dream? Liuli's dream is indeed quite exaggerated.'
'Strange, why do I suddenly feel like such a world might be pretty good? After all, with Liuli's subtle dream influence, even bad people would find it hard to truly commit evil, right?'
'To the commenter above: do you really want someone monitoring your dreams constantly?'
A fierce debate erupted among the dimensional viewers at Site 13 regarding whether Jing Liuli's dream was right or wrong.
While they debated, the movie screen shifted to the underground base, specifically the prison area, of the Star Frost Faction where Chen Kong and others were located.
The prison area had now become a sea of fire. Chen Xing alone held back the powerful brothers, Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang.
As for Jeremiah.
His original task was to stall Chen Xing, but for some reason, he voluntarily took on the task of fighting Chen Kong, Liu Ma, and Vivian.
And although he looked like he was 'fighting with all his might,' he surprisingly failed to take down Chen Kong, Liu Ma, and Vivian for a long time.
If the dimensional audience didn't know Jeremiah's true strength or the recent ranking description of the Children of the Stars, they might truly believe Jeremiah was giving his all.
But knowing Jeremiah's true capability, the situation was completely different.
The more 'hardworking' and 'energetic' Jeremiah appeared, the more the dimensional viewers wanted to laugh.
Because if he were truly working hard, how could he be evenly matched with Chen Kong and the others!
He almost wiped out the protagonist group with a single move in the corridor earlier!
Great acting, but way too obvious!
'This is clearly an office worker openly slacking off.'
'I feel like Jeremiah's laziness and Liuli's laziness are two completely different things. The former is pure willfulness; the latter is typically slacking off but giving her all when it matters, completely reversed.'
'I've figured it out. Tendo was right in Season 1 when he said the Children of the Stars were all problem children. Every single one of them has some character flaw.'
'Tendo's arrogance, Chen Xing's belligerence, Caroline's excessive rationality, Liuli's extreme innocence, plus Jeremiah's loose sense of justice, and Chen Kong's inexplicable inferiority complex—these guys are definitely hard to deal with.'
Amidst the dimensional viewers' discussion, Chen Xing, who was now thoroughly engaged in the fight and couldn't hold back, no longer cared if she affected the normal Crimson Mist City above ground, and unleashed her full power without reservation.
In Chen Xing's eyes, battle intent burned. Her black long hair was swept up by the heat wave, and the demon blade 'Bloodflame' hummed in her hand, the flame patterns on the blade shining dazzlingly.
But while she was enjoying the fight, she completely forgot this was an underground space, and even more, forgot about her 'useless' biological younger brother nearby.
Fortunately, someone provided a crucial reminder at this moment.
"Xing! Are you planning to burn your brother to death here too!"
Hearing Jeremiah's words, Chen Xing was instantly startled awake.
She looked toward Chen Kong's direction and saw that Chen Kong had already exited the state controlled by 'White Kong,' kneeling on the ground.
Not only were there several small holes burned into the clothes on his arm, but his exposed skin was also reddened.
Sweat from his forehead continuously dripped down his chin onto the ground, where it instantly evaporated into white steam.
However, this fierce and slightly out-of-control Blood Smoke had little effect on one person.
That person was the easily overlooked Danica.
The little girl was sitting on a pile of rubble, holding a bag of tomato-flavored potato chips, crunching away happily.
What was surprising was that Chen Xing's uncontrolled Blood Smoke seemed to hit an invisible barrier about half a meter from Danica, automatically veering away. Not even the chip crumbs she dropped on the ground were burned.
Noticing Chen Xing's gaze, Danica looked up, blinked, and then held up the chip bag, shaking it.
She seemed to be asking Chen Xing, 'Want some? Tomato flavor, super delicious!'
Just as the dimensional viewers were wondering what was so magical about this little girl, Danica.
The entire underground space suddenly shook violently.
Chen Xing and the others didn't know what had happened, but the brothers Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang, as well as Jeremiah nearby, understood clearly.
They could distinctly feel a cold, authoritative 'divinity' emanating from the direction of the Sea Music Hall far away.
And that divinity... was the God of Frost's unique 'Extreme Cold Aura.'
"Has the God of Frost Ritual begun?"
Shuang Yuan frowned, the Ice Queen Crystal Ball in his hand shining intensely.
At the same time, Jeremiah also set aside his pretense of slacking off and looked earnestly toward the Sea Music Hall.
Although the factional dispute between the current Star Frost Faction and the Frost Tone Faction had reached a point where it was almost openly acknowledged.
Regardless, both sides belonged to the same family.
The reason the Frost Tone Faction hadn't taken drastic action, despite knowing the Star Frost Faction was plotting something, was that a certain tacit understanding had been reached privately between the two sides.
Therefore, this concert determined not only whether Liuli's breakthrough would succeed.
But also the true future path of the Frost Melody Family.
And the right to decide this path now rested on the shoulders of Jing Liuli.
