The puppets' stage play

Chapter 324 The walking phantom

"Has the name been decided yet?" Li Chrome's eyes flashed slightly and he asked.

"That's right..." Mo Tao glanced at the girl with a simple and elegant temperament, and then looked at the other two people, "I also have a clear process in mind for the specific plan, and the focus of it is this Miss Xi Muran. "

The other two people immediately looked at the girl who was still a little distracted. The latter's eyes narrowed and she looked at Mo Tao with a frown.

"I always feel a little strange." There was doubt in the girl's eyes, "Actually, I also understand that compared to you who have been in contact with each other for a long time, I am just a dispensable stranger."

"Normally, would an outsider be allowed to assume important responsibilities?" She shook her head, but her tone became more intense, "If you want me to contribute, just dispel my doubts."

Elegant and aloof, like a green bamboo standing firm in the cold wind, Xi Muran looked at the other party calmly, his eyes extremely serious.

"...Indeed, if it were normal, even I would not dare to let you participate in some peripheral plans at most." Mo Tao stared at the other party, and the idea flashed in his mind that this guy is not too stupid. , then explained.

"But, it's different now. It's not why I chose you, it's that you must be chosen. You should also be clear about your status in the eyes of others."

Xi Muran's eyes showed thinking. Yes, if we just compare the public support rate, she is confident that she will not lose to other candidates. Moreover, after all, if it were not because she took other paths first, she would not be directly screened out. .

"You are an existence that is expected by the public, but you failed to respond to that expectation." Mo Tao looked at the other party and said word by word. Just as the girl was about to open her mouth, his hand suddenly moved down.

"Of course, this is not your fault, but the fault of those who screened you out!" His tone was very strong, as if he was defending the other party's injustice.

Xi Muran's expression was stunned, and he was suddenly surprised. What's going on?

"To put it this way, it is true that we judges were wrong." Li Chrome interrupted, but there was still a faint smile on his face, and his eyes suddenly became enlightened, and he had obviously figured out the key point.

Shen Wushang lowered his eyes slightly and was thinking silently, connecting the scattered thoughts in his mind one by one.

"The public..." he murmured.

"I don't think that is of any use. The result that has been decided will not be overturned. Over time, my so-called popularity will easily fade due to the efforts of those idols who have formed."

Xi Muran turned her head and vaguely understood what the other party was thinking. However, she felt that the other party was a little naive. Even she knew how ridiculous it was to change orders from day to day, let alone those at the top.

"This matter is not without precedent. If it weren't for the other party, I probably wouldn't have had this idea." Mo Tao spoke firmly, appearing very determined.

"What do you mean?" Xi Muran asked.

"Let me explain, Miss Xi Muran." Li Chrome intervened in the conversation very naturally, "As one of the judges, my words are somewhat effective, and you can understand your own importance more intuitively."

Mo Tao stretched his hand forward in a gesture of invitation.

"In the past, idols have always been controlled by the three sacred and immortal veins. Outsiders can only comment a few words, but cannot interfere with the internal selection. Therefore, as outsiders, we are more of a witness."

Li Chrome straightened his body and placed his right hand on the back of his left hand. As he rubbed the back of his hand, he couldn't help but have a tone of reminiscence in his tone.

"At first, we didn't think there was anything wrong with that. After all, both the third and fourth generations are very good. Even the fifth generation, which was rated lower in the past, is still considered the best now. "

"But then..." Li Chrome's tone became deeper, and his gentle face also took on a heavy look.

"Elgatha was once expected by the public. She may be able to create new glory as she is similar to the third generation." Mo Tao said in a deep voice, and Li Chrome also stopped talking and sighed softly.

"Bell is valued by major families, and they believe that she can go further as she has the same qualities as the fourth generation."

"Jia Lulu didn't think much of us at first, but she told us what true perseverance is. It's a person who, even if she sinks into a deep pool, will climb out decisively and show her concern for those who care about her. A brave man with a fearless smile.”

"It's just..." Mo Tao paused, with a complex look on his face.

A figure suddenly flashed in Xi Muran's mind. It was that person's existence that made all the figures that others expected to be forgotten, leaving only the voice praising that person.

"Princess, Shirley." Shen Wushang said softly, a look of thought flashed in his eyes, that appearance...

"Just like you, the one who was screened out showed his brilliance openly on that stage, making other people of his generation eclipse..." Li Chrome closed his eyes and spoke. But extremely slight.

"We were wrong." He shook his head and his tone became calm.

"Prejudice and pride made the Three Meridians ignore the people below, and then they were completely defeated by that figure. That's why they pursued that figure persistently, even if they suppressed the original three idols."

Mo Tao's tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about a simple topic.

"...As far as I know, the three new idols have been decided, but there is no one among them." Xi Muran looked at the other party and naturally raised his own questions.

"Although it has always been three, why can't it be four." Mo Tao waved his hand, his expression looking extremely calm.

"You mean?" Xi Muran frowned.

"Fairies, goddesses, saints, and as a special case, the 'prince' who was forcibly raised to one level. Although Sanmai pointed out that it is only this time, it must be restored to the original state next time." Li Chrome smiled, and his tone became tough.

"But it's not up to them. We have secretly contacted the princess and asked her to come forward to fix this special case as a benchmark. By the way, it will also divide the internal forces of the other party."

"Since they want to get their hands on the fairy's position, they must pay a certain price."

"............" Xi Muran looked at Li Chrome who suddenly showed a sarcastic expression with a subtle expression, and complained in his heart, is this some kind of boring fight? He didn't want to hear it.

"That's not the key point. The key point is the special case." Mo Tao forcibly changed the topic, "We can use this to question the foundation of the three meridians."

"Since we can go from three to four, why can't we go from four to five." He said firmly, with a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

Xi Muran looked at the other party with curt eyes. She thought it was that simple, just relying on herself and these few people, if she wanted to change the rules... it would be better to go back.

"It doesn't involve the core." Li Chrome took a deep look at Mo Tao, and then explained to Xi Muran, who wanted to retreat, "At least I don't think it will touch our foundation. It is just a channel to communicate with the public. aisle."

"In the past, the saint was controlled by the Franks, the goddess was the backing of the major families, and the fairy was influenced by the hometown composed of meritorious deeds. All three had the responsibility to communicate downwards, but as time went by, that share Responsibility is also abandoned.”

"In the end, it led to that scene, so we have to change."

Mo Tao looked here with a bit of eagerness in his eyes.

“To this end, a position must be established purely to communicate with the public. No matter whether the qualifications are mediocre or the people are on other paths, a channel must be given to those who are highly anticipated by the public, so that they can step on the stage of their original idols. .”

"...Just like me?" Xi Muran pointed at himself, with a bit of uncertainty.

"It's someone like you who is not recognized by the Three Meridians but is expected by the public. It doesn't matter if he is not an idol. As long as you step on that stage, we will declare our victory."

"Okay...then what should I do?" Xi Muran suddenly felt confident, and she asked confidently.

"As long as you continue to help others, we will take care of the rest." Mo Tao's eyes were sincere and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Oh." Xi Muran nodded with a confused expression.

"You can go back first and wait for the notice in a few days. I'm looking forward to your performance." Li Chrome smiled, looking calm and calm.

"Of course." Xi Muran nodded heavily.

Shen Wushang watched this scene silently.

Facing those two intense gazes, Xi Muran slowly turned around and walked towards the white portal that had just appeared not far away. Her face still had a calm look on it, and her amber eyes looked extremely clear.

"........"

"........."

The sound stopped for an instant, as if at this moment, no one was interested in talking.

Xi Muran's hand touched the door handle, pushed it outward, and the door opened silently. He stepped forward. From one side of his body, he glanced back from the corner of his eye. There were two smiling faces and one silent face. .

She turned her head and two words suddenly came to her mind.

fraud.

The door was gently closed.

"It seems that she noticed something in the end." Mo Tao put away his smile and said with an indifferent expression.

"It doesn't matter. As long as she still wants to move forward, she must rely on our help. Although we use it as a cover, at the same time, it is indeed a good 'job', isn't it?"

Li Chrome's expression was cold, and his calm tone was a bit cold.

"Although it is a somewhat 'dangerous' job." Mo Tao shook his head with a mocking look on his face.

Li Chrome ignored the sarcasm hidden in the other person's words, but looked at the other person, his expression becoming cold.

"What is the attitude of my hometown? Is it possible to pass this resolution?"

"...At least the master has acquiesced. It's up to me to 'persuade' the others." Shen Wushang raised his head and said firmly. As a liaison sent from his hometown, he was there. Nor is he a nobody.

"This will put you at ease a little. As an 'envoy', you are really cautious." Li Chrome nodded, then looked at Mo Tao, who shook his head with an indifferent expression.

"It's just a necessary confirmation. I have always believed that the Li family, as the first family of the Federation, is the least likely to betray the Federation. However, I am such a timid guy. I hope the head of the Li family will be tolerant."

As the Li family is closely connected to his hometown and can be said to be another force independent of the Federation, he has to be more cautious, Mo Tao thought to himself.

Among the existing achievements, the Li family, the Xu family, and the Chen family have always been the horns of each other. Together with the Liu family operating in their hometown, they form the foundation of the immortal lineage.

Master Guti who is currently on the battlefield is also one of the disciples of the ancestor of the Liu family, and this guy named Shen Wushang is a disciple of Guti. It is rumored that there is a master-disciple relationship within his hometown. , it really deserves its reputation.

Mo Tao's face was still very calm as he was spinning this information in his brain. This was all the information he had collected by serving various important figures. Of course, out of privacy considerations, the other personality did not leave anything too out of the ordinary. information.

But just from these few corners, he could detect the inextricable connections.

"Personally, I also hope to have other combat capabilities. I wonder if you have anyone to recommend?" Since he decided to trust the other party for the time being, Mo Tao simply handed over the matter to the other party. By the way... Test it again.

"Combat strength..." Li Chrome whispered, lost in thought.

"Yes, if we want to compete with the forces that subvert the Federation, we must have enough combat power on hand to stop the other party's rebellion at certain critical times." Mo Tao explained.

"Where is my hometown?" Li Chrome looked at the other person.

"We can draw a small number of Qingying to help in the battle, but if we don't want to leak information, we can only maintain this level of help." Shen Wushang said calmly.

Mo Tao's eyelids trembled slightly. It seemed that even his hometown was not without disturbances.

"Is that so... I will consider it." Li Chrome nodded, a look of thought appeared in his eyes, and his face was a little tense.

"..." Mo Tao looked at the other party with some surprise in his heart. He originally raised this question to bring in other companies. If Li Chrome, who has always been cautious, would naturally choose his tone. Very tight man.

But...why hesitate?

"Today is different from the past. Even though the ancestors fought together and had a good relationship with each other, we are not the ancestors." Facing Mo Tao's inexplicable look, Li Chrome thought for a moment and understood the other party. intention.

"As far as the Xu family is concerned, because of that 'hero''s activity, it has deviated from its original trend of decline, and now there are many gaps between us."

"The Chen family is getting stronger and stronger. Under the influence of the surviving ancestor, they have enough manpower in both the military department and the political and legal department. Chen Qingtian's name is widely spread, and his younger brother Chen Guang is also a promising talent in the future. .”

Li Chrome shook his head slightly, with a hint of coldness in his expression.

"But it's getting farther and farther away from my Li family."

"Only the Liu family, which has long since declined, stands clearly on our side. Although the name of hometown remains, it is no longer as harmonious as it was at the beginning."

"In this turbulent world, it is normal for people's minds to change. Even the 'ruchu' we once gave hope to has now changed his name and become the spokesperson of those families."

"This Federation needs a huge cleansing. I want to take this opportunity to completely clean up those guys with double-minded intentions and make people's hearts pure again. This is the true meaning of this plan."

"I am not joining the Li Family Club just to play with you. If we want to do it, we must do it thoroughly!"

Mo Tao's expression became serious, and there was a line of cold sweat on his forehead.

"You...that one will not agree." He was also convinced that even if the president delegated power, the final decision still required the other party's decision.

"The human heart..." Li Chrome looked at this side with an unfathomable smile.

Mo Tao's heart skipped a beat, and a suspicion suddenly arose in his mind. Could it be that even that person...

"We just need to do it." Li Chrome said solemnly.

".........Yes." Mo Tao sighed in his heart, and that was all he could do.

"..." Shen Wushang looked at this scene, and his originally calm heart was filled with waves. Is that president? I don't know how strong he is. Let's try to challenge him in the future. .

He secretly made a decision.

Walking in the alley, the girl kicked the gravel angrily and muttered in a low voice.

"...I'm really unhappy-" Her eyes narrowed.

In front of her, there was a group of strange figures passing by the alley.

"Hoho." A smile came to his eyebrows, and his expression became cheerful.

"Hmm, it's time to punish the criminals. The righteous girl must take a big step forward."

Xi Muran's eyes flashed, and his smile gradually became evil.

"Go to hell, you bastards!"

She strode forward, her eyes becoming more and more fierce. To outsiders, maybe she was the evil one.

....just joking.

The person at the end turned around and saw a figure approaching like an evil ghost. A rumor suddenly rang in its mind.

The shadow that is said to be lingering beside the action troops will speak out a piece of information in unison at the last moment when it disappears.

"That guy with a sick mind ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
