Chapter 4 Solving Pollution Problem
On the beach.
Night Star surveyed the crowd and felt pretty decent.
Since it’s a weekday, there weren’t many people playing at the beach.
The number of visitors wasn’t overwhelming, which felt just right.
Thanks to Theater Door, Night Star arrived earlier than Night Lan, giving her ample time for observation.
Kong Yu Bai walked over with a coconut in hand.
“Wanna drink some coconut water?”
“Ooh~ Thanks!”
Night Star took the coconut and drank through the straw, feeling very refreshing.
A bit sweet~
But just right.
“Waiting for Night Lan and company?”
“Mmm.”
Night Star had already informed Kong Yu Bai and others about how Night Lan would bring people out to play.
They naturally understood what she meant.
“Do we treat them as ordinary friends? I don’t mind, but I don’t know if the Group Leader and his crew can.”
“They’ll definitely manage. The Group Leader is quite friendly towards humans, and the Gentleman is courteous. Worry not about communication problems. As for the Fraudster… probably won’t cause any issues either.”
The current Fraudster had taken off his mask.
Removing the mask signified temporarily putting away the Fraudster identity and abstaining from deceitful behavior.
Even if he does deceive, it’d likely be harmless lies.
Moreover, Night Star had already warned him beforehand.
He nodded frequently with a compliant look.
Probably no big deal.
But perhaps only mostly.
It was futile for Night Star to enforce obedience from the troupe members.
If conflicts arose later, she had to mediate herself.
Except for her, no one could wholly persuade the troupe members.
“Enough of that. Is it really okay for the Audience Performer to wear a mask like this? Even the Fraudster has taken his off.”
Kong Yu Bai teased, looking at the mask on Night Star’s face.
Though she was wearing a cute swimsuit that made her look very eye-catching, the mask obscured much of her face, making it look odd.
Night Star rubbed her cheeks shyly.
“Um, well… for now, I’m not ready to reveal myself. Night Lan knows my real identity, but only White Fish…”
White Fish knew everything and was the best at sneaking around.
“Arrgh…”
Night Star couldn’t help but heave a sigh.
Actually, she didn’t want to wear a mask while enjoying the beach either.
But she needed to interact with Night Lan’s team, so she shouldn’t hide anymore.
If they noticed the Audience Performer’s face resembled Night Lan’s completely, it would cause another round of embarrassment, and probably even more complicated issues.
So now was not the right time to expose her true identity.
Kong Yu Bai decided not to press further.
She could only support Night Star wholeheartedly.
Night Star glanced at the other troupe members.
Since Star Eclipses couldn’t be observed by ordinary people, Night Star didn’t enhance their presence, only concealing their pollution.
Speaking of which,
Night Star should also address the troupe members’ Star Eclipses pollution problem.
She currently held B-class mental power; using the Wish Machine should resolve everything perfectly.
Star Eclipses pollution was entirely detrimental for a performance-focused troupe.
This type of pollution primarily affected humans.
However, most of the troupe’s audience was human as well, which created an irony.
Even if someone usually bothered the troupe, this so-called Star Eclipses pollution was unnecessary.
Sending just one troupe member would easily settle things.
This thing clearly should have been phased out, yet it came into being alongside Star Eclipses, as if targeting humans specifically.
If matters continued to develop,
the troupe members’ Star Eclipses pollution would become a hindrance.
If one day a troupe member who embodied Star Eclipses went out alone, Night Star and Kong Yu Bai might not have time to monitor closely.
They’d have to handle this as soon as possible.
Lianhua was semi-Star Eclipses, retaining human emotions and memories pre-conversion, storing most of her powers within Puppet Little Lian, usually not releasing pollution, appearing almost ideally in Night Star’s memory.
Kong Yu Bai was a special Star Eclipses, able to transition seamlessly between human and Star Eclipses identities, permanently hiding her own pollution.
Book Yao was a regular human member, just with an extended lifespan and immortality, free of Star Eclipses pollution.
Make-Up Artist emerged from a painting, revived through special form and thus lacking pollution as well.
There’s no need to talk about the Announcer.
She was merely pretending to be Star Eclipses.
As for Guqiu…
Just ignore it.
That leaves only the Group Leader, Gentleman, and Fraudster requiring handling.
These three were considered the “three pillars” of Rising Sun Troupe, first introduced to the public initially.
Their Star Eclipses pollution had been recorded by Night Watcher, almost becoming a symbol of danger for Rising Sun Troupe.
In essence, it seemed the troupe’s bad reputation stemmed from their actions.
“Hmm…”
Night Star fell into deep thought.
Regardless of past events.
Since Night Star appeared and Audience Performer emerged,
she wouldn’t let Rising Sun Troupe decline.
Soon, Night Star ran over to the Group Leader trio and told them about eliminating the Star Eclipses pollution issue.
Naturally, the Group Leader trio wouldn’t oppose removing this, affecting audience enjoyment.
Having agreed, Night Star started making a wish, eradicating their pollution immediately.
Thus,
Rising Sun Troupe wouldn’t need to worry about extensive mental pollution issues anymore.
Night Star exhaled deeply.
“Phew… feels a bit sleepy…”
There was no strange process this time; the Wish Machine directly fulfilled her wish.
Tackling three Ultra Star Eclipses’ pollution issues gave Night Star considerable exertion.
Thankfully, she wasn’t forced to sleep; she just wanted a brief nap.
“Mmm… You guys continue playing, I’ll take a quick snooze.”
Actually, she could skip sleeping, but she wouldn’t be as energized later.
Night Star wanted to enjoy today’s adventure in top form.
Shortly after,
Night Star lay under the umbrella, closing her eyes. It would take around half an hour, just like her usual afternoon naps.
Kong Yu Bai and Book Yao sat next to her to guard.
Night Lan also dozed off during the car ride, probably only for a few minutes.
After all, arrival was imminent.
Meanwhile, in the troupe,
once Night Star removed the Group Leader trio’s Star Eclipses pollution,
Kong Yu Bai also increased their visibility.
Now ordinary people could observe them.
With three stylish men appearing on the beach, quite a few females were drawn over.
For those who approached to chat, the Group Leader trio politely responded, even performing mini magic shows, not opposing interaction with normal humans.
After all, they were potential audiences, weren’t they?
At the same time,
a part-time lifeguard eyed the scene and fell into contemplation.
“Rising Sun Troupe…?”
