Chapter 43
Got you~ Hanabi-neechan~ Hehe~
The opening ceremony of the "West Funing Star - Galaxy Lotto - Planet Empowerment Project" has officially begun!
After a rather dull opening, Nika slowly walked to the center of the stage.
He narrowed his eyes to slits, scanning everyone around him, but found nothing unusual.
He was not alarmed by this.
The Fool in Mask's methods are indeed impressive; he can't even detect someone right in front of him.
If it weren't for the trump card the supervisor sent me, I probably wouldn't have been able to do anything to you.
However, things are different now.
As long as you dare to show up
They will never escape my grasp.
Hahahahahaha!
As the PowerPoint presentation lit up on the screen, Nika began her presentation.
It has to be said that he's got some skills to become a director.
At least the PPT presentation was quite good.
However, halfway through the speech, the screen suddenly went dark.
Then, a chibi-style firework appeared on the big screen.
coming!
I knew it; I couldn't possibly have fallen asleep for no reason.
She came to the office that day, and sure enough, she was there to tamper with the PowerPoint presentation.
I am protected by a magical artifact, so I cannot be affected by illusions.
There's only one possibility: she drugged what I drank.
Only a few people have access to my cup, so it seems she targeted one of them.
As expected of the Masked Fool, he is truly cunning.
Finding that illusions were ineffective, they resorted to another method: drugging me.
Unfortunately, as long as I don't drink anything from now on, I won't get infected again.
And you are destined to be unable to escape my grasp!
Nika was secretly delighted, but on the surface, she pretended to be panicked and shouted:
"What's going on?"
"Quickly check what's wrong!"
Nika immediately went offstage, pretending to urge his subordinates to check, but his hand, which was in his pocket, was already gripping the remote control.
Once the fireworks appear, he will unleash his trump card and capture her.
The "audience" below the stage erupted in uproar.
The staff were frantically checking everything.
The show must go on until the fireworks appear.
Amidst the cacophony, more and more chibi-style fireworks appeared on the screen.
Despite his supervisor saying that he only needed to watch the show, the bald team leader couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Boss, is that Fool alright?"
"Are we really not going to lend a hand?"
Sand Gold smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, no one can catch her."
"She's much stronger than you think."
"Even the director can't do anything about her?"
The bald team leader, puzzled, asked with great curiosity.
Placer gold:…
I?
Hit Xi Yao?
Will it win?
It's sealed shut!
Comparing me to a high-ranking official, you really think too highly of me!
For a moment, Sand Gold felt it was quite funny.
Of course, ignorance is no excuse.
Moreover, the bald-headed team leader has always been straightforward, loyal, and quick to stand up for the underdog, so Sand Gold likes him quite a bit.
So he just smiled meaningfully and said:
"You should see for yourself."
"I can only assure you, this scene will be absolutely spectacular!"
The bald man nodded, looking bewildered, and turned his gaze back to the arena.
At this moment, the entire large screen was almost entirely occupied by chibi-style fireworks figures.
The next second, the entire screen shattered with a "bang".
Of course, this is just a sound effect.
The screen did not actually crack.
A beautiful firework bursts forth in the very center of the large screen.
And the shape of the firework was an incredibly cute chibi-style firework character!
Hidden beneath the stage, the fireworks gaze at another version of itself.
Is it time to go on stage?
Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of the fireworks,
"Fireworks" teleported onto the stage in an instant.
The spotlight instantly focused entirely on her.
"Clang clang!"
"Hanabi-sama has arrived!"
"Hehe~"
She smiled and took out a red button with a cherry blossom pattern engraved on it.
He pressed down slowly.
……
There was a deathly silence all around.
The audience below the stage seemed unaware of what was happening, looking around blankly.
"What's going on?"
"What on earth are you doing?"
"I don't know!"
On stage, "Fireworks" stared in astonishment at the button in his hand, muttering:
"That's impossible!"
"How could this happen?"
Why didn't it explode?
Just then, Hanabi smiled slightly, and her beautiful butterfly eyes instantly transformed into two dazzling cherry blossoms.
The next second, fireworks appeared on the stage.
It appeared in front of "Fireworks".
Furthermore, he led her into his own illusionary realm.
When Hanabi saw Hanabi appear suddenly, she took two steps back in fright, her voice trembling slightly.
"How is this possible?"
"You actually came!"
"Why didn't I notice anything?"
A charming smile curved Hanabi's lips as she slowly walked up to Hanabi, extended her slender hand, and lifted her chin.
"Of course it's because you're a fake!"
Hehe~
"However, I'm very curious."
"Beneath this alluring mask, who are you really?"
Upon hearing her words, "Hanabi" seemed quite nervous and involuntarily swallowed.
But Hanabi didn't act immediately. Instead, she gently touched Hanabi's face, then leaned down and whispered in her ear:
"Don't worry, there's plenty of time. We'll enjoy ourselves slowly after the show!"
"Before that~"
"There's still a great show waiting for the real lead actors to perform~"
Hehe~
"you!"
The imposter seemed quite angry that Hanabi had stolen his spotlight.
But that's exactly what Hanabi wanted.
She wanted to steal the spotlight from the other person and let everyone know who the real spark was.
Fireworks ignored the imposter, slowly turned around, dispelled the illusion around her, and placed herself under the spotlight.
She held a mutually assured destruction button, smiled, and bowed slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
"The show is about to begin!"
Hehe~
The thumb slowly pressed down on the mutual guarantee of destruction button, but stopped halfway down.
!!!∑(゚Д゚ノ)ノ
Why can't I move my thumb?
No, I can't move my whole body!
Is it a trap?
But how is that possible?
If there was a trap here, why wasn't it triggered when the imposter appeared?
Firework glanced to the side out of the corner of her eye; the area was empty, and there was no one there.
Hanabi's scalp began to tingle.
She only realized what was happening now, belatedly.
It's an illusion!
It turns out I was under an illusion from the very beginning!
That imposter deliberately lured me into a trap!
"That's right!"
A girl's voice rang in her ears. Hanabi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the once packed hall was now empty.
At the far end of the hall, a black-haired girl with pigtails was smiling at him.
His pale blue eyes were full of amusement.
"Sister Hanabi, you are really amazing."
"But unfortunately, my illusion magic is superior to yours~"
"Hehe~"
Fireworks blinked, and Xi Yao, who was originally far away, appeared before her eyes.
!!!
When the two were pressed together so close, Hanabi's eyes widened in terror.
Xi Yao gave a mischievous smile, stretched out her slender hand, and slowly lifted Hua Huo's chin, just as Hua Huo had lifted hers before.
"Got you~"
"Firework Sister~"
"Hehe~"
...
P.S.: Dates are still in short supply!
Have a happy day today!
Poor little firework, it finally fell into Xi Yao's trap.
But don't worry!
Xi Yao is so kind, how could she bear to bully Hua Huo?
Hehe~
