Chapter 1369 – 1369. God’S Atlantis
“……”
Seo-hyun Joo stared at the unicorn horn in her hand with surprised eyes.
“Haha. It seems the unicorn’s horn suddenly glowed, surprising Seo-hyun. As I explained earlier, the unicorn’s horn glows when a virgin holds it. Just like now. It’s a bit embarrassing for a woman, but there’s nothing as certain as a unicorn’s horn to prove purity.”
“Oh, I see.”
Joo Seo-hyun didn’t know what to do with the unicorn’s horn in her hand.
Mirinae, who was conducting the interview, took the unicorn’s horn from Joo Seo-hyun. When she touched it, the unicorn’s horn turned black again.
‘The deception is working perfectly.’
I used my unique trait, Deception (SS), to trick the unicorn’s virginity detection function. If Joo Seo-hyun, Yuria, Miryeong, and Elena touched it, the unicorn’s horn would glow regardless of their purity.
‘Mirinae probably doesn’t have the ability to see through my Deception (SS).’
The unique trait Deception (SS) had surprisingly diverse uses.
Mirinae continued the interview. She handed the unicorn’s horn to Miryeong and asked,
“Miryeong, don’t you want to date?”
“Dating? Hmm. I used to be interested in it… but now I want to focus on my idol work. I can date later.”
“Wow. You’re very confident. Dating isn’t something you can do just because you want to…”
“I believe in my face and body.”
“……Well, with that beauty, no man could resist.”
Miryeong shook the unicorn’s horn proudly. The unicorn’s horn was shining brilliantly. Next, the unicorn’s horn was passed to Yuria. Of course, the unicorn’s horn was glowing in her hand as well.
“Fans feel that Yuria is the most mysterious member of 4Beatz. It’s like she’s not human… Some fans even think of Yuria as a goddess. You are human, right?”
“That fans think that… it’s a bit shocking. I’m human.”
“I would have believed it if you said you were a goddess. What are your hobbies, Yuria?”
“Hobbies are…”
Yuria glanced at me. And smiled.
“I don’t really have any hobbies… but if I had to say, I’d say cooking. I like it when someone I like eats the food I make. It means I’m managing the ‘food’ aspect of their life, which is one of the basic necessities.”
“Oh… cooking for someone you like… Can I guess who that person is?”
“It’s so obvious, there’s nothing to guess.”
“Right. Yuria lives with the members of 4Beatz… So, the people who eat Yuria’s cooking are the members of 4Beatz. Members, how is Yuria’s cooking?”
Joo Seo-hyun, Miryeong, and Elena answered the question.
“It’s delicious. Dangerously so…”
“It’s like once you start eating, you can’t stop. Like a drug? Haha, you didn’t actually put drugs in it, did you?!”
“I have tasted the cooking of a chef with experience in the Imperial kitchen. Yuria’s cooking far surpasses that chef’s.”
Listening to their praise, I quietly smacked my lips.
My taste buds, accustomed to Yuria’s cooking, were no longer satisfied with anything else. Even when I ate normally delicious food, most of it just felt so-so. Except for spicy foods like pizza and chicken.
“Tia, please hold the unicorn’s horn.”
Elena held the unicorn’s horn without hesitation. The unicorn’s horn sparkled.
Come to think of it, I might not have needed to step in. Elena had an illusion technique even more powerful than my Deception (SS).
“I am pure. A body that knows no man.”
Elena lied without batting an eye. Mirinae laughed awkwardly at her words.
“You’re very straightforward. Aren’t you embarrassed?”
“Why should I be embarrassed when I’ve done nothing wrong? Surely, you don’t doubt my purity?”
“No, no. The unicorn’s horn is glowing right in front of me, there’s no reason to doubt it. Whew. Tia, you’re hard to deal with.”
“Aren’t you going to ask me about my hobbies?”
“I was going to ask. What are your hobbies?”
“Wine. The only thing that soothes my weary heart is a glass of wine…”
“……Yes. I see. Let’s see, the next question is…”
I turned my head to the side. I felt a presence near the window.
‘A paparazzi is secretly taking pictures.’
I calmed my twitching lips.
The members were holding the unicorn’s horn right now. In other words, the paparazzi was doing exactly what I intended.
Photos of the members holding the unicorn’s horn would be released by this evening at the latest, and it would become a hot topic.
‘Naturally, other idol girl groups will be put on trial.’
They would have to prove their purity, just like the 4Beatz members did. What if they refused to prove it? They would be branded as non-virgins and leave the entertainment industry. Avoiding the proof itself would mean they were not virgins.
‘Hehe. More than half of the girl groups will fail, right? It would be great if Pink Love was among them. Then we could easily become the top girl group.’
After the interview, I took 4Beatz to their next schedule.
It was the TKT broadcasting station of ‘Music Kingdom,’ where 4Beatz had debuted yesterday. TKT broadcasting station was an idol-friendly station, with more than half of its programs related to idols.
The program 4Beatz was scheduled to appear on today, ‘Idol Show,’ was a broadcast program for idols. With a minimum viewership rating of 30%, there was a custom that debuted idols had to appear on ‘Idol Show.’
It wasn’t a bad custom. The ‘Idol Show’ program was idol-friendly, and there were no bad rumors about it.
I watched 4Beatz’s ‘Idol Show’ program filming with Samara.
“They’re amazing. Usually, idols who have just debuted are extremely nervous and make small mistakes… but 4Beatz doesn’t have any of that.”
Samara said.
“Well, Joo Seo-hyun is stiff with nervousness.”
“It’s not enough to ruin the broadcast. How should I say it? Seo-hyun has a dignified image… but she’s actually so nervous that she feels approachable, you know?”
“That’s true.”
Usually, Joo Seo-hyun had a strong, older sister-like aura. She seemed intimidating. It was hard for ordinary people to get close to her. But now, she was flustered by the MC’s questions, which made her feel somewhat approachable.
‘Actually, when you talk to Joo Seo-hyun, she doesn’t feel that difficult… or is it just me?’
The recording stopped midway. It wasn’t an accident. It was simply a break time.
I was about to go to 4Beatz with Samara when the PD came to find me.
“PD Sung. Do you have a moment to talk?”
“Yes. I do.”
I went into the conference room with the main PD.
“We need to start filming again soon, so I’ll get straight to the point. I’d like 4Beatz to appear next week as well.”
“Next week as well?”
I looked at the main PD with a surprised face. This appearance was actually made possible by pushing out the idol who was originally scheduled to appear, using the power of the agency. From the main PD’s perspective, it couldn’t be good.
“Yes. I was convinced while filming today. 4Beatz is going to be a huge hit. I want to do a 4Beatz special and continue it until next week.”
“That’s not bad. But don’t do any evil editing.”
“Hahaha. We don’t do that!”
Appearing on a program with an average viewership rating of 30% for two consecutive weeks. There was nothing bad about it for 4Beatz.
“Today’s broadcast will be out in three days, right?”
“Yes. Please look forward to it. We won’t disappoint you.”
“I trust you. But the schedule is a bit tight, isn’t it? On Earth, they usually film 2-3 weeks in advance, right?”
Unlike Earth’s variety shows, the variety shows in the 6,700th district were recorded and broadcast 3-4 days in advance.
“It can’t be helped. Speed is life in the 6,700th district. Even a slight delay can cause enormous losses. But variety shows are still better… the drama scene… ugh. That’s a real hell. Is there any member of 4Beatz who is interested in acting?”
“Acting… I haven’t thought about it.”
Yuria and Elena would do well if they were given acting roles.
“I don’t recommend it, but if you’re still interested, please tell me. I have some connections in the drama industry, so I’ll introduce you.”
“Haha. I’d appreciate that.”
After the ‘Idol Show’ filming ended, we headed to another studio. There were two commercial filming schedules.
By the time all the schedules were finished, it was around 1 AM.
I checked the side mirror and clicked my tongue. A white mid-sized car belonging to the paparazzi was persistently following us. It looked like they were going to follow us all the way to the dorm.
‘How annoying.’
I arrived at the dorm and let 4Beatz go in first.
“Samara. Aren’t you tired? Go home.”
“…Yes. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Should I give you a ride home?”
“No. I’m going to sleep at a motel nearby today. I have a schedule starting at 5 AM tomorrow anyway…”
“Do that.”
“PD Sung… Never mind. I’ll be going now.”
Samara had noticed the relationship between me and 4Beatz. It was stranger if she didn’t notice, considering how close we were. Samara was trustworthy enough for Lilith to trust her, so I didn’t need to worry about her.
‘The problem isn’t Samara.’
I turned my head to the side. I saw the white mid-sized car. I drove out and parked at a suitable distance. When I returned to the dorm, the paparazzi was taking out equipment from the car. They were expensive-looking camera equipment.
‘A camera like a space telescope?’
It was obvious what the paparazzi would do with that camera.
Secret filming.
‘He’s crossing the line.’
I smiled coldly and approached the paparazzi. I grabbed the shoulder of the guy who was taking out the camera. The guy turned around. His face was covered in messy stubble.
“…4Beatz’s manager?”
“Mister. You should know when to stop. When to stop.”
I put strength into my hand.
The guy’s expression twisted instantly.
“Kkyaaaaak!”
“Be quiet.”
Heavenly Demon Divine Art (天魔神功) Sealing Heaven (封天)
I pressed on his pressure points. He couldn’t move his body or speak, and his eyes were desperately moving.
“You crossed the line, so you have to die.”
I put him in the driver’s seat.
I had already decided how to kill him.
He would drive in the wrong direction and fall into the river with his car and drown.
“Goodbye.”
