Chapter 3826 Seeking Light
To be precise, Zuniga's location at this time is in the underground block of West 15th District.
Town 14.
Angel raised his head, his sight passed through the light-polluted clouds, and then went into the underground tunnel full of iron pipes, and soon he saw the Fourteenth Town full of low-rise houses.
Soon, he saw Zuniga's location, the Beverly Nursing Center.
The reason why Zuniga appeared at the Beverly Nursing Center was naturally to find the person from outer space.
He obtained information from the daily news that "an alien appeared in the nursing center", so he immediately rushed from the central area to the 14th Town.
However, what surprised Angel was that although Zuniga had arrived at the Beverly Nursing Center, he did not enter the center.
Instead, he was on the rooftop of a nearby tall building, silently observing the situation inside the nursing center.
——After seeing this scene, Angel became more certain that the person who was telling stories to Ululu on the rooftop of the Platinum Building was Zuniga.
Zuniga seems to have a special liking for rooftops.
Whether it was in the "Hide and Seek in the Fog Forest" copy, or later when he went to the central area to look for the alien, or now outside the nursing center, he always went to the rooftop when he disagreed.
Maybe this is his habit?
Zuniga sat cross-legged on the roof, his eyes constantly moving around, not only observing the layout of the nursing center, but also observing everyone inside.
Whether it is patients or medical staff.
For ten minutes, Zuniga stood on the roof like a statue.
It was not until a breeze blew by, ruffling Zuniga's messy white hair, that he slowly came back to his senses.
After he came back to his senses, he looked to his side and said calmly, "Tell me about the situation inside."
There was no one around him. Just when Angel thought he was discovered while peeping, a gust of wind carrying a few fallen leaves swirled down from the sky and turned into a translucent green figure.
The figure was about half a meter tall, and its facial features could be vaguely seen under the light and shadow, but they were made very flat by its translucent body, so its specific appearance could not be seen at a glance.
However, if you look closely, you will find that its ears are very distinctive and very large, occupying almost half of its face.
The rest is pretty ordinary.
"There are a total of 123 medical staff, including 21 doctors and the rest are nurses... The number of patients is around 300, but including their family members..."
A slightly childish voice came out from the mouth of the translucent green shadow.
Angel listened roughly and found that what was said was basically the distribution of personnel inside the nursing center, as well as various secret locations, all of which were detected by it.
It even saw the situation in the underground laboratory and told Zuniga.
Angel sensed the green shadow and vaguely felt that there seemed to be "wind" flowing in its body, but other than that, he could not see anything else.
But the feeling it gave Ingres was very similar to... Turing.
If nothing unexpected happens, this Qingying should also be a fashion monster in a special form, but... what kind of monster is it?
Angel recalled the magic book he saw when he spied on Zuniga before.
The illustrations on the pages of the magic book actually give us some clues.
After a period of recollection and thinking, Angel roughly confirmed the identity of this green shadow. It should be a special form of the Gossip Spirit: the Wind-Wen Boy.
It is said that the boy inherited the gossip spirit's ability to "hear all directions", so no wonder he has such a big pair of ears.
It was heard that the boy was still reporting the situation to Zuniga, and Zuniga fell into deep thought as he listened.
When Angel saw this scene, he was actually a little confused, because what the rumor boy said was nothing special.
What was Zuniga thinking about? Or did he hear something worth noting from the rumored kid?
Feng Wen also noticed the change in Zuniga's expression, and his voice gradually slowed down, "Master, did I say something wrong just now?"
Zuniga: “No, it’s just that I thought of something.”
Feng Wen kid: "Then I will continue?"
"Go on." Zuniga said this, and suddenly paused: "Forget it, there is no need to say this, let's communicate directly with our consciousness."
Feng Wen's eyes flashed with surprise, but soon a hint of joy burst out: "Do we really need to communicate with consciousness?"
It knows its master too well. It is unknown when Zuniga began to feel a little disgusted, even disgusted, with fashion monsters and fashion magic.
Especially when Zuniga started to wander, this situation became more serious. Before, Zuniga would communicate with it through consciousness, which was convenient and quick; but later, except when he encountered a serious situation, Zuniga would summon himself and only let it speak like an ordinary monster, and gave up the communication of consciousness.
Therefore, when Fengwen heard what Zuniga said, he was very surprised.
But after the surprise, he felt a little worried, because... Zuniga was communicating with him consciously. Did it mean that today's incident was not simple, or even that 'the walls have ears'?
Feng Wen asked the boy anxiously in his heart.
Zuniga did not explain, but just let the rumor boy continue to tell what happened in the nursing center.
……
Angel didn't have the ability to read minds and didn't know what they were talking about.
I can only look away temporarily.
Angel didn't think there was anything wrong with Zuniga's choice to let the boy communicate in his consciousness. Under normal circumstances, the speed of consciousness communication is very fast.
He had communicated with Turing through consciousness and was very clear about the poor efficiency involved.
It is completely reasonable for Zuniga to choose to communicate with the boy's consciousness in order to be more efficient.
Of course, Angel also thought that Zuniga might be afraid of being "eavesdropped" and chose to communicate with consciousness. This is possible, but the probability is relatively small. Since Zuniga chose the rooftop, he must have observed the surroundings.
Unless he could perceive that Ingres possessed the "Eye of God" and could see and hear the sky directly, but the probability of this was even smaller.
After Angel took his eyes off Zuniga, he looked towards Prada Media.
He originally wanted to see how Gleipnir was preparing the "Sacrifice of Light", but after a quick glance he found that Gleipnir was not in Prada Media Company.
After some searching, Angel finally saw Gleipnir on another circular train.
She was also on the train at this time, but Ingres was taking a clockwise train while she was taking a counterclockwise train.
"What's the situation over there?" Angel asked with some confusion.
Hearing Angel's voice, Gleipnir, who was hiding in the recessed crevice of the train, covered the fenders that were rustling in the wind and replied, "I'm on my way to the Kuselle Theater."
"The Absinthe Theatre? This is..."
Gleipnir explained: "This is an opera house in the North District. The light sacrifice required for the ceremony is right there!"
Angel: "???"
How did the Light Offering end up in the theater?
Gleipnir quickly recounted what had happened to him.
She went to Prada Media to meet Yusup. Just as Xiaolu said, Prada Media was extremely short of money at the moment. As long as one was willing to spend money, any information about the beauty pageant could be bought.
Gleipnir spent about five thousand Modern coins and successfully bought the past beauty pageant videos required for the "Sacrifice of Sound" and the information about the "Sacrifice of Light" from Yusup.
The description of the Offering of Light says: a "lamp" that has witnessed the birth of glory.
If nothing unexpected happens, it refers to the "light" that shines on the champion when the champion is announced at the final moment of the finals of the three major competitions.
Compared to the modern fashion show and the dark competition, the "light" of the Prada beauty show is obviously the easiest to get.
This was indeed the case. Yusup readily told Gleipnir the information: "In the past, when the beauty pageant reached the final moment, the light shining on the champion was basically the previous champion using the 'luminescence' ability to shine on the new champion, as a symbol of inheritance."
For example, when the champion of the tenth beauty pageant put on the crown, the champion of the ninth pageant used the power of "light-chasing butterfly" to shine on him.
Similarly, when the champion of the eleventh beauty pageant is born, the champion of the tenth will also use the ability similar to that of the light-chasing butterfly to shine on the champion of the eleventh.
This is the inheritance from generation to generation, and also represents the inheritance of glory.
Gleipnir also asked Yusup: "What if the champion doesn't have the 'glow' type ability?"
Yusup's answer was, "It's impossible. Those who can become the top champions are almost all-round. And the ability to shine is found in all departments."
"Let's take a step back and say that even if there really is a magician who can't emit light by himself, he can temporarily find a page of a book that can emit light, or directly 'borrow light to store light'."
"There are many ways."
Hearing this, Gleipnir already had a bad feeling in his heart.
In other words, if they want to get the "Sacrifice of Light", they must find any of the three major championships champions? Ask them to help?
Could they really handle this matter? Gleipnir was very skeptical.
If it is given to Angel, he will most likely be able to do it, because Angel has the illusion of controlling others.
But Gleipnir didn't...
How about waiting for Angel to look here, and then asking him for help? Gleipnir hesitated, but felt that Angel was busy with the "location rumor" task at the moment, and it might not be completed yet. It would be a bit bad to give him another heavy task now...
Although "the more capable the more work", it doesn't have to be so "tiring".
Gleipnir thought: How about seeing which champion loves money more and using money to persuade the other champion to give in?
Just when Gleipnir was feeling troubled and depressed, Yusup gave him another piece of information.
"Although every champion basically has the ability to glow, not every beauty pageant will have the previous champion present."
"For example, in the last beauty pageant, we didn't find the previous champion to use the light. That's because the previous champion left Modern City a long time ago."
Gleipnir: "What are you going to do now? Find the champion from the last year?"
Yusup shook his head: "At this time, we can only use ordinary lamps."
"It's called an ordinary lamp, but it's actually not that ordinary. It was used in the first beauty pageant and has witnessed generations of beauty pageants... So, using it to illuminate the champion can be considered a kind of honorable inheritance."
Hearing this, Gleipnir immediately understood that the "sacrifice of light" he was looking for was most likely this "lamp".
Then she asked Yusup if she could buy or rent the lamp.
Yusup's answer was: "I have already sold this lamp."
……
Hearing this, Angel had basically guessed the answer: "So, Yusup sold the lamps to the Kuail Theater?"
Gleipnir nodded. "Yes, according to Yusup, if they don't sell these things, they won't even be able to hold a new beauty pageant."
To put it bluntly, there is only one word: poor.
Gleipnir: "So, now I have no choice but to go to the Kusama Theater and talk to them about renting or buying the lighting fixtures."
"This should be possible, because before going to Kuel Theater, I asked Yusup to help contact them and told them my request. Although they were a little hesitant, they did not refuse and just asked me to go and discuss it."
"It's likely that Yusup is here, so it's hard for the Kuaier Theater to make an offer."
Moreover, Gleipnir had checked and found that there were no large-scale performances at the Kuselle Theater recently, so there was no need for such luxurious lighting.
So, even if she can't buy it, it should be no problem for her to rent it for a day or half a day.
Seeing Gleipnir's confidence, Angel also put his worries aside. However, after listening to Gleipnir's story, Angel became even more worried about Prada Media.
Because according to the nature of the main mission, they will most likely rekindle the glory of the Prada beauty show in the future.
The current situation of the Prada beauty show is too bleak.
Almost starting from scratch...
It is no wonder that Yusup started selling his ancestral land because he was so poor.
"Normally speaking, fashion wizards are very capable of making money. How did the Prada beauty show end up in such a situation?" Angel sighed and wondered.
Gleipnir: "Perhaps because I spent money today, Yusup's attitude towards me has become slightly better. I also asked about their situation. Although Yusup did not tell me the answer directly, through some euphemistic expressions, I roughly guessed their current situation."
"…Although Tina Entertainment did not suppress Prada Media openly, it secretly poached many people by offering them high salaries."
"Many powerful magicians have been poached. The ones left now are all low- and mid-level magicians. Moreover, most of them are those who have ambitions but not many unique skills."
"Coupled with the disappearance of Paipai and a bunch of Prada Media's key people, this has led to their current miserable situation."
"Yusup was also forced to take over. It wasn't easy for him." Gleipnir rarely spoke up for Yusup. "If he really couldn't hold on any longer, how could he have turned the beauty pageant into a sex show?"
At least, the sex show can still attract audiences and allow the "beauty pageant show" to exist in another form.
As long as you survive, there is hope.
This is Yusup's philosophy. He is not unaware of the impact of the sex show on Prada Media, but this is the only way he can think of to preserve the company's fortunes.
