Chapter 74: Killing Time
As the clock struck afternoon, the concert by the lovely Qing Liao was set to begin.
Inside the Rising Sun Theater.
The theater group leader and his team were all ready to go, changing into casual but presentable clothes, effectively hiding their Star Eclipses’ aura.
Night Star and Mo Rabbit, dressed in cute casual wear, snuggled up together like old buddies.
Mo Rabbit looked dull-eyed, forcing a smile.
At some point, she used to see Night Star Lan as a source of amusement, but now things had taken an unexpected turn.
It’s either tragic or just plain unfortunate, huh?
Night Star didn’t have those thoughts; she just wanted to hurry up and see Qing Liao’s solo performance at the concert.
“Oi~ Let’s get moving!”
“No, Audience Performer, I can manage on my own.”
Mo Rabbit smoothly squatted down, breaking free from Night Star’s embrace, not wanting to look silly in front of her teammates.
Night Star pouted, annoyed.
“Mo Rabbit, do you want to leave our alliance?”
“I don’t know what alliance you’re talking about.”
“It’s the Theater Group Loli Alliance made up of Puppet Masters, Audience Performers, and Announcers!”
“Hahaha.”
The Announcer briskly walked away to prove that she definitely wasn’t part of this ridiculous alliance.
Night Star swiftly followed, whispering in Mo Rabbit’s ear as if explaining the benefits of joining their alliance…
There really weren’t any benefits, just a spontaneous idea from Night Star.
But if Mo Rabbit could voluntarily join, that would be a huge step for the Female Degeneration plan!
Too bad the steps were too big to handle.
Switching views:
Night Star brought the members to the concert venue, where there were crowds everywhere, truly overwhelming.
Visitors were probably going in batches to avoid a traffic jam.
Too many people could cause chaos, so managing smaller groups was better for security checks.
Typically, they would need to go through rigorous inspections to prove they were no dangers. But as important people, they didn’t fit that scrutiny process.
So, they secretly slipped in, utilizing the power of Existence Interference.
No Star Holder noticed them, which was disappointing.
Entering the venue, Mo Rabbit used her powerful divination abilities to locate their spot and sat down comfortably.
Up ahead was the stage where Qing Liao was about to perform. The view from backstage couldn’t be better!
Though, there’s still some time until the actual concert starts.
Lots of ticket holders needed time to file in. They had to wait for everyone to arrive before beginning.
That long wait was boring.
Why not find Qing Liao first?
Thinking aloud, Night Star tugged at Mo Rabbit’s sleeve and asked casually, “Mo Rabbit, you know where Qing Liao is right now?”
“Over there,” Mo Rabbit pointed out, clearly having already checked using her divination.
Night Star nodded briefly.
“I’ll go check for a bit, then come back later.”
But then she realized something crucial.
She alone could get easily exposed. With Kuang Yubai unable to move far to hide their presence.
The two-thirds of Kuang Yubai’s strength was enough to conceal them, but without coordination, Night Star’s solo action would surely be spotted by Star Holders. It seemed impossible.
Night Star sank into deep thought before deciding to break the glass.
“To hell with it, I’ll claim I’m Qing Liao’s friend, as long as they don’t know I’m an Audience Performer by the Rising Sun Theater.”
She planned to stay here for about a month and not revealing her real identity was a bit unsatisfactory.
In fact, exposure might even make things easier. After all, investigating her background shouldn’t be a problem.
So she prepared to head toward Mo Rabbit’s direction.
The other group members did not say much, simply letting her go.
In case of danger, they could quickly rush to help anyway.
It all hinged on whether she’d use her powers.
Certainly, using the Wish Machine was out of the question.
Besides, other powers weren’t ideal to activate.
All She had was Lianhua’s aggressive power, but using it would instantly reveal her Star Eclipses aura, making it a s*icide mission.
Thus, running was the safest route.
Her A+ speed was no joke.
Violence was forbidden!
After dropping her presence, Night Star managed to blend in and eventually reached an area by herself, close to the edge.
There, she saw two guards, non-Star Holders holding some tech weapons.
As long as they were regular humans, Night Star could ignore them.
She carefully walked through and surprisingly, they ignored her completely.
Existence Interference sure came in handy.
“Yay, sneaked in successfully!”
Navigating through a narrow corridor, she arrived at the backstage area of the concert venue.
Not knowing her way around, she relied on existence perception to find Qing Liao.
Fortunately, the backstage was spacious, and she evaded several patrols with her keen senses, making for an exhilarating adventure.
There were indeed plenty of Star Holders around. Likely hired by Qing Liao’s company to keep the scene secure, especially the external sections.
Only the Order of Sequence seemed capable of protecting Qing Liao up close, implying she would soon meet with the Order.
Though risky, nothing major seemed to threaten her there.
Then, nearby footsteps approached closer.
Quickly, Night Star hid, concealing herself.
Avoiding detection by the ones with Star Eclipses’ aura was possible.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.
“Huh?”
Just as Night Star wondered if the patrol had moved on, someone sprinted toward her with surprising speed.
When she finally registered, before her stood a slender figure with yellow hair and green eyes, holding a dangerous-looking g*n.
Night Star stiffened, nearly reacting defensively.
But she recognized the person quickly. Wasn’t that sister Noa from the Night Hunt?
“Is it Noa?” Night Star tentatively asked.
Noa lowered her weapon, clearly confused, wondering why Night Star was there.
Right behind her came Claire and Helixia.
Night Star knew their discovery was due to Helixia’s celestial compass emitting a detectable signal.
