Chapter 930: Chapter 868: Study Exchange_2

"This isn’t a press conference for a sports event, Vadim is not an athlete at all,"

Guan Lili scrutinized Song Lan with a skeptical look.

Since leaving District 17, there was no sign of improvement in Song Lan when faced with interviews; his expressions and tone were visibly stiff. "Furthermore, I guess the athlete Vadim... spit, probably wouldn’t want to compete with you again."

After speaking, Guan Lili sighed deeply, "Alright, let’s skip this part and talk about something else, um... yes, what’s the name of the move you used? The name of the move is also a crucial part of shaping the Rescuer’s image, and currently, our company has quite a few people who have made a deep impression on the audience with cool move names and special effects."

This was all part of her years of work experience.

In the Kolo Film Industry’s entertainment Empire, the actual combat level of a rescuer was not important; the public’s perception of them was based on their performances in movies or reality shows. Although set in the same "Kolo Universe," each character’s story is independent, leading fans to debate strength in so-called reserved programs.

Only in the annual "Master of Rescuers" would all these rescuers be brought together to face a major crisis collectively.

Guan Lili was lost in her thoughts until she abruptly noticed something unsettling about the atmosphere around her.

Despite the unbearable heat of summer, she suddenly felt a winter-like coldness.

And the look in Song Lan’s eyes was even more unusual.

A terrifying atmosphere overtook the city as if the whole world was coming to an end.

"Why, why are you looking at me like that?"

Guan Lili shrank her neck, forgetting all about the Rescuer images and moves, "Have you finally decided to silence me?"

"No, I just want to ask you one question."

"Please, please ask."

"Do you really want to know the name of my move?"

........................

That evening, Lu Xiang received an urgent text message from Guan Lili. The choice of words in the message implied that if she delayed any longer, she might be in danger.

This made Lu Xiang halt her work at the agency and take a hovercar straight to the address provided by Guan Lili.

As the hovercar docked on the rooftop of the "Master of Rescuers" shooting location, she noticed something strange about this distress text message.

The lights inside the building were still on.

Having just eliminated a "Luck" contestant, the various groups’ contestants gathered together, earnestly discussing how to keep up with the pace of the three mentors and not fall behind, with many eager learners approaching the knowledgeable Franken, Sean Grant, and genius Mechanic for private advice while they were still around.

In other words, Guan Lili had encountered danger under the simultaneous presence of the "Emperor" and RT6.

In a moment, Lu Xiang could not figure out what kind of entity could pose a threat to Guan Lili under these circumstances.

Could it be that an internal corporate rival had sought out some unknown technology from military sources?

With that thought, Lu Xiang quickened her steps.

However, when she pushed open the door of the small conference room, she was momentarily stunned.

She immediately saw Song Lan sitting opposite Guan Lili, with a digital notebook in front of him as he seemed to be in full flow, continuously gesturing with his hands.

Far from seeming dangerous, the scene looked more like a lively and joyful work discussion.

But then Guan Lili’s eye contact after hearing the knock on the door conveyed a plea for help.

Save me—!

She tried hard to communicate this silently with her eyes.

"Oh, Old Lu, you’re here,"

Also hearing the noise, Song Lan glanced at the time on his phone screen and reluctantly said, "Director Guan, it’s getting late today, let’s continue our talk another day."

Guan Lili felt a great relief.

Her expression was like that of a prisoner who had served a 50-year sentence finally waiting for the day of release.

—Just take this Dumb Bird away.

—This seemed to be the real reason why Guan Lili had texted for help.

Lu Xiang realized this and left the room quietly with Song Lan. If the Dumb Bird was the one creating the crisis, then RT6 and the "Emperor" indeed wouldn’t be of any use.

But she was very curious what Song Lan had said that had left Guan Lili in such a state.

Upon leaving the shooting site building, she asked, "What were you guys just talking about?"

"It wasn’t anything major, Director Guan had just touched on the question about move names. I saw that she’s a senior executive at Kolo Film Industry and has made many rescuers famous, so I thought she must be an expert in this area and thus I sought her insight in a discussion."

When it came to naming moves, Song Lan had always been a novice.

But he urgently needed a move name that sounded impressive, along with some cool special effects.

His mentor, General Borusalino, demonstrated countless times how to better slack off on the battlefield through his actions.

First off, the name of the move and the special effects had to be maxed out, that way, even if you ended up killing no one, everyone would still be left with the impression that you had tried your hardest.

And Guan Lili was truly an expert in this area—Song Lan felt he had gained a lot from her.

However, for some reason, over time, Guan Lili stopped talking as much.

At this moment, Lu Xiang finally understood Guan Lili’s recent dilemma.

She couldn’t tell Song Lan to get lost, so she had to silently endure his bizarre talent for naming.

However—

Lu Xiang’s lips slightly curled upward, seeing it as not a bad thing after all.

She noticed that recently Guan Lili had been seeking out Song Lan more frequently, casually sticking around him, and after this lesson, it seemed unlikely that she would dare to be alone with him for a long time to come.

And indeed, that was the case.

That night, Guan Lili came down with a strange illness known as "Kolo Universe PTSD".

Even in her dreams, terms like "universe" and "invincible" echoed in her ears, causing her to wake up startled in the middle of the night.

...

"How are things at the Investigation Bureau?"

Riding in the hovercar, Song Lan casually asked, "This morning I saw the Investigation Bureau’s people surrounding the food street, and they even took away Vadim in the end."

"This morning’s operation wasn’t directed by Teacher Catherine, she asked her superiors and was told not to meddle in it too much."

It was a baffling operation.

A bunch of agents from the Investigation Bureau caused such a big stir on Food Street, yet in the end, they didn’t even bring Vadim back; according to her investigation, the agents let Vadim go halfway through.

"Oh, speaking of which, it reminds me of something,"

Lu Xiang’s expression suddenly turned serious, "Do you have any friends from the ’outside’?" Looking like a middle-aged man, around forty or so?"

She had personally visited Food Street that afternoon, calling on the barbecue restaurant where the incident occurred.

The owner, as a witness, recounted an alarming scene that happened in his shop.

Early that morning, the fugitive Vadim had barged into his shop, taking him as a hostage, but it wasn’t long before a middle-aged man arrived.

The man’s clothing was very simple, covered in dust, and in his own words, it was as if he had just finished filming a scene about the "outside." He said he had come to the Fourth District to find a friend.

Later, the agents from the Investigation Bureau charged in, and he was kicked out of his own shop.

As for what kind of negotiations the three parties reached in the shop, he had no way of knowing.

The barbecue shop owner only knew that the people who had come to his shop that morning hadn’t paid, so he took the opportunity to report Vadim and the middle-aged man for their bullying behavior in eating without paying.

"A friend from the ’outside’?"

Song Lan, with his head down, also fell into contemplation. After a moment, his pupils contracted, showing a look of shock, "Could it be—"

"You thought of someone?"

"’Rat’! ’Rat’ is he in the Fourth District now?"

"Not him."

Lu Xiang nearly choked, "Except for ’Rat,’ who else do you know from the ’outside’?"

"Princess Lieyang?"

"The barbecue shop owner was talking about a middle-aged man!"

"Princess Lieyang’s dad."

"Shut up!"

A rush of blood to the head.

Lu Xiang wisely chose to end the conversation, "Never mind, just stop talking."
