Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Big Honeybee saw Li Yidao, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
“Brother Dao, hello, I’m Mi.” Watching the extended hand from the other side, Li Yidao also reached out and shook hands.
“What brings you here?” Li Yidao voiced his question. He really couldn’t understand why Big Honeybee had come here. Oh, wait, it might be related to following him.
But… how did she get here?
Just this morning, she was still in the live stream. Normally, she should be in the Capital. It’s not a simple two or three-hour journey from the Capital to Jiang City.
Yet now…
She appeared right in front of him.
“I came to find Brother Dao. I’d like Brother Dao to show me a clear path.” Big Honeybee’s posture was humble. Although her expression seemed calm, her eyes revealed a hint of fear.
Showing a clear path clearly indicated her current state of mind and concerns.
Li Yidao looked at her, and his expression didn’t change much.
“I don’t have a clear path here. Hmm… you can consider the opinions of the netizens.”
On the way back from the old man’s house, Li Yidao checked the information online.
People had essentially confirmed that there would be a problem at the film festival.
Moreover, their suggestions were correct: cancel the film festival, conduct a thorough security check of the venue, bring in security from other cities, and so on.
Li Yidao believed that as long as one or two of these suggestions were implemented, it would be sufficient.
However…
Li Yidao didn’t know if the host could take any of these measures.
But Big Honeybee came to ask for a clear path. Li Yidao thought that the suggestions from the vast majority of netizens were a clear path.
Hearing Li Yidao’s response, Big Honeybee didn’t show urgency or continue to insist. There was just a hint of disappointment on her face.
But then she smiled again and said, “This film festival is quite special, and there are many invited guests. Sister Zhou and the others just said they wanted to go in with me. At the same time… I’d like to invite Brother Dao to join us. I wonder if Brother Dao has the time? After all, you are all top streamers on the platform now. If you participate on behalf of the platform, I believe the platform will be very willing.”
In fact, it was not very realistic for Li Yidao and the others to participate in the film festival. The reason was simple—they were just streamers and had not made any films.
What was the point of them attending a film festival?
Even though this film festival had invited many guests, they were undoubtedly figures within the film industry.
Of course, for a streamer, attending such a grand event would be great.
However, walking the red carpet was impossible.
Li Yidao, at this moment, heard Big Honeybee’s invitation. He hesitated for a moment but nodded in the end.
Let’s go then.
After all, he knew the exact time when danger would occur.
If things didn’t get resolved or if there was any real danger, he could leave early.
This way, there wouldn’t be any risk.
And one more thing—he wanted to see.
When his life truly faced a threat, would the Grim Reaper’s Protection activate in such a situation?
He could imagine that if the other party set up so many things and decided to cause trouble at the film festival, it would likely involve a lot of manpower and resources.
Many personnel would be involved in this.
In a situation like this, when his life indirectly faced a threat, the Grim Reaper’s Protection could also come into play.
It could eliminate some individuals who posed a threat to his life.
so…
This could be a super BUG if utilized properly!
However, Li Yidao speculated that it was probably unlikely.
Regarding the Grim Reaper’s Protection skill, he felt that it would only activate when his life was directly threatened by certain individuals. Simultaneously, resolving the threat by dealing with the other party would eliminate the danger he faced.
Under such circumstances, the skill would be triggered.
Otherwise, if enemies were killed but the crisis was not resolved, it would be meaningless.
Also, the old man had advised him to resolve these matters.
Going to the scene to see the specific situation would be a good way to adapt to the situation randomly.
When Li Yidao agreed to her request, Big Honeybee’s lips curled into a relieved smile.
As long as she was by Brother Dao’s side, she believed there would be a chance to resolve her crisis!
Just look at Sister Zhou and Li Xinting. They were perfectly fine.
If Brother Dao didn’t agree, she even planned to become neighbors with Sister Zhou and the others!
Sister Zhou and Li Xinting were excited!
Going to the film festival!
Given their current level, they would probably enter the film and television industry in the future. However, the timing was uncertain.
And whether they could become stars in the film and television industry or attend film festivals was also unknown.
Not to mention anything else, just quietly livestreaming on the sidelines during the film festival or taking some photos and videos would significantly benefit their growing popularity!
With the plans solidified, the next two days unfolded in absolute calmness.
Everyone returned to their usual routines, and the only noticeable change was the addition of an extra set of bowls and chopsticks at mealtime.
Well…
Big Honeybee decided to stay, but not at Li Yidao’s place.
If she were to stay at Li Yidao’s shop, paparazzi from who knows where would undoubtedly go completely crazy.
Within ten minutes, the entire internet would be flooded with revelations!
As for Sister Zhou and Li Xinting, during their livestreams, they intentionally avoided mentioning or interacting with Big Honeybee.
The purpose was, of course, to minimize public attention. If netizens found out that Big Honeybee came to see Brother Dao, it would be explosive news!
After peacefully passing through a day like this, the following afternoon, the group, under various disguises, smoothly arrived in Capital.
There was no other choice…
Among these four people, apart from Li Xinting, whose popularity was slightly lower, the rest, whether it was Big Honeybee, Li Yidao, or Sister Zhou, were all top-tier in terms of fanbase and fame.
Under such circumstances, if they appeared together, the inevitable result was clear.
Tomorrow morning was the scheduled time for the film festival. Hence, they had come today. After all, Jiang City was at a considerable distance from the Capital.
They couldn’t make it if they set off tomorrow morning.
Under the arrangements made by Big Honeybee’s assistant, the group directly arrived at the hotel. For the remaining time, meals were delivered to their rooms. There was no other way; tomorrow was unavoidable. However, minimizing complications today was the wisest choice.
This was the helplessness that came with fame. Wherever they went, they would be under scrutiny, and they couldn’t show any signs of unhappiness. Sometimes, the act could be really exhausting…
Just as Li Yidao and the others arrived in the Capital, Unit 36 in the Capital’s branch was in action.
The two individuals who received the mission from Elder Liang yesterday were currently sitting in an office at Unit 36. Apart from the two of them, there were four or five other people in the office. The atmosphere was particularly eerie.
After two days of investigation, they had identified over ten explosive points scattered across various locations at the film festival. If these explosive points were to detonate simultaneously, the entire venue of the film festival would turn into ruins! How terrifying?
But that wasn’t the only terrifying aspect.
Terrifying was the fact that they hadn’t found any traces leading to the perpetrators!
This was unreasonable!
Even surveillance footage had not been tampered with!
They couldn’t discern anything from the internal surveillance footage!
However, through some other means, they found some unusual traces. These traces were undoubtedly left behind by using some bizarre unconventional methods.
And the forces behind all this made them take it seriously!
At least, with their current capabilities, they couldn’t resolve it directly!
“Sigh… Let’s report it. I suspect there might be more accidents tomorrow,” one of them sighed reluctantly.
Reporting had certain implications for them. Their experience was their mission, and seeking external assistance would devalue their experience. However…
Under the current circumstances, there was no other choice. If they waited until tomorrow and a real problem occurred, it wouldn’t just be a devaluation of their experience; they might face even more crises.
“Alright, I’ll report it. I’ll lead a team back to the scene and check for any developments. Stay in contact,” the person decided.
“Okay.”
Subsequently, one of them led a few individuals back to the festival venue. The other person entered a separate office.
What followed…
Everything was unfolding in an unknown direction.
No one could predict the final outcome..
