Chapter 825 Idol?
Although another victim appeared, Duanmu Ai had no intention of helping. To be honest, in her opinion, this person might as well die. No matter who publicly executed his XP in public, the only ending was social death.
So you'd better hurry up and choose death yourself.
There's no point in living.
And those people have already set out to rescue people, so... let them go.
I just need to support them mentally.
No, it seems that I can't support them mentally.
Of course, Duanmu Ai was not idle. The Phantom Thieves didn't dare to make trouble recently, and she didn't want to intervene in the affairs here, so the next question was to investigate why the TV could become a channel connecting to the subspace.
That's right, why is it a TV? After that, Duanmu Ai also tried many things, such as glass, mirrors, computer screens, etc. But none of these worked, only the TV could, which was very strange.
Lumiel didn't know about this, but she proposed an idea. Since it is possible to enter the subspace from the TV, will it be related to the TV station? After all, the TV station sends out signals and the TV receives them. If there is something special about the TV station that affects it, then it might also affect the TV.
Well, I have to say that Lumiel's guess is quite reliable.
Of course, not everyone can enter a place like a TV station, but for Duanmu Ai, this is not a problem. As a demon summoner, she can certainly find many commissions. In fact, there is really a commission that suits her.
The commission requires all-weather personal protection for a certain artist idol. The reason for choosing a demon summoner is also very simple—after all, the demon summoner's strength is here, and there are privileges. Artist idols will always encounter some troublesome things, and if the demon summoner can use his privileges to settle them at this time, it is naturally a good thing.
Because of this, the remuneration for this job is also very high, and it is not even a fixed remuneration, but a dividend of 5% from the idol's remuneration.
This is not a small amount of money.
Logically speaking, such conditions should be good, but in fact, few people have ever taken this task. The reason is very simple, that is, the reward is high and the requirements are also high. In addition to requiring the demon summoner to be highly skilled, it is also specifically limited to being a woman, and preferably a young woman.
So everyone is at a loss.
Obviously, this requirement is not easy to find.
So when Duanmu Ai came over and asked if there was a commission from a TV station, the middleman gave her the commission almost without hesitation.
"Special requirements are women? Or young women?"
Looking at the commission in front of her, Duanmu Ai looked disgusted.
"What the hell is this?"
"Oh, just go and try. This commission has been hanging for a long time and no one has taken it. We are also very embarrassed. Besides, Xiao Ai's strength is here. The other party is just an artist, not a big deal. If he dares to have any intentions towards you, just beat him back and it's over."
The middleman said it simply, and in fact it was indeed simple. The status of the demon summoner was superior. Although they did work similar to mercenaries, in fact, high-level demon summoners were basically the kind that even local government officials could ignore, not to mention a mere idol artist. Maybe the other party has tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fans, but in the eyes of the demon summoner, it is just an actor.
"Okay, I'll go and see, I hope it's not a troublesome thing."
After accepting the commission and setting a time, Duanmu Ai came to the coffee shop near the TV station and met with the client.
"Hello, I'm Inoue from NR..."
The man who appeared in front of Duanmu Ai was a man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a suit, with a social atmosphere and glasses. He handed over his business card a little nervously, and Duanmu Ai took it and glanced at it.
"So, can you tell me what your commission means?"
"Of course... But before that, can you please summon the demon? Sorry, I just want to confirm..."
"No problem."
Duanmu Ai didn't care about Inoue's request. She turned her right hand and took out the demon summoner. The next moment, Alice appeared beside Duanmu Ai.
"Is this... your demon?"
"Yes."
"Is she strong?"
"Are you serious?"
Faced with Inoue's uneasy questioning, Duanmu Ai snorted.
"No electronic demon in this city is her opponent."
"Uh... It doesn't need to be this level..."
Hearing Duanmu Ai's answer, Inoue's expression was a little complicated, but he looked at Duanmu Ai carefully, and then looked at Alice.
"Duanmu Jun... are you interested in entering the entertainment industry?"
"No, I can't sing or dance, and I don't have any hobbies in this area. Let's talk about commissions."
"Oh, sorry... do you know Xiao Lishi?"
"No, I'm not interested in these."
Duanmu Ai shook her head. She has never been interested in idol stars.
"Is that so... uh... Actually, the commission is very simple. We hope you can serve as Xiao Lishi's assistant."
"Assistant?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Ai frowned. And Mr. Inoue also hurriedly explained to her.
In short, their company promoted an idol girl named Kujikawa Risa some time ago, and she became a hit and is now a popular idol singer. Speaking of which, Duanmu Ai seems to have heard similar things from girls in her class, but she is really not interested in these variety show gossips.
Of course, people who are famous are prone to gossip, and Xiao Risa is no exception. She has encountered some troubles recently. For example, during the performance, the equipment suddenly malfunctioned, and when she went home to sleep at night, she felt as if there were ghosts knocking on the window outside. This hit Kujikawa Risa's nerves very hard. Although she is still trying to persevere, she is still getting haggard day by day.
The company naturally couldn't ignore this. After asking, some professionals gave their opinions, thinking that this might be the work of the electronic demon. After all, they would keep the equipment well every time, and count it before going on stage. Even if it is like this, it will be damaged, so the only one who can do this kind of thing that doesn't talk to you about scientific principles is the electronic demon.
If this is the case, then no matter how much security is strengthened, it will be useless. Only the experts who deal with electronic demons, the demon summoners, can do it.
But of course, this is not an easy thing.
The life of an artist is full of flash lights. It is not impossible to choose a demon summoner at random, but this will cause bad rumors from the outside world. After all, if an artist is targeted by an electronic demon, it will also make fans feel uneasy. In addition, if the demon summoner is a man, there is also the possibility of rumors.
But the problem is that it is not a big deal to find an older demon summoner. The idol’s work and life are full every day, and the elderly don’t have the energy.
Besides, in terms of social status, the demon summoner is much higher than the idol artist.
That’s why the company thought of looking for it through an intermediary, so there will be such a weird commission that requires young women with super strength.
To put it bluntly, they hope to find a demon summoner who meets their requirements, and it is best to sign a long-term contract.
"So troublesome?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Ai didn’t want to do it anymore. She just wanted to find a reason to enter the TV station, not to be a nanny. And it has to be done all day long, so I don't want to do such a troublesome thing.
"If that's the case, I won't do it. I have to go to school and I don't have time to be a nanny for others all day long."
I thought it was a matter that could be solved in a few days, but you actually planned to give me a long-term job? If I can't get into the TV station, I won't get in. Isn't it the same if I sneak in?
"Please consider it."
Seeing Duanmu Ai was about to leave, Mr. Inoue stood up nervously.
"The remuneration can be discussed... No, I know it's not a matter of remuneration, but now it's really a very important moment for Xiao Li Shi. The child is worried every day, but she is still gritting her teeth and working hard... But we know that this is already the limit. If she can't relax and rest, she may fall directly on the stage. Although we also talked about whether to temporarily push it off for a while..."
"It's impossible for me to be her nanny all the time."
Duanmu Ai shook her head, and Mr. Inoue thought about it when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up.
"Well, can you at least take care of her until the end of the month? There will be a big competition at the end of the month, which is also the key to her idol career..."
"Okay, if it's only ten days, I can take a leave."
Anyway, I am the principal, and it is quite easy to approve a leave note for myself.
Since Duanmu Ai agreed, then the next step will be much easier. The two sides discussed it, and finally, Duanmu Ai will appear next to Kujikawa Risa as a trainee assistant. This situation is actually very common. Especially for female idol artists, it is more convenient to be taken care of by women of similar age, and there is no need to worry about any scandals.
And Duanmu Ai also has ten days to go in and out of the TV station for investigation, which is also a good deal.
Without further delay, after the two sides signed the contract, Duanmu Ai followed Inoue to the agency.
The decoration of this agency looks very good, and there are many employees in it, which gives people a very formal feeling. Duanmu Ai has taken on several commissions related to the entertainment industry before. Many black-hearted agencies are either in remote places or the employees in them are fierce gangsters. At least at a glance, they are not doing serious business.
As for this one…it doesn’t look big, but it’s a serious business.
After sitting down in the reception room, Duanmu Ai poured a cup of tea and drank it nonchalantly. After a while, there was a knock on the door.
“Mr. Inoue? I’m Risa.”
“Oh, little Risa, come in.”
Apart from anything else, Duanmu Ai had to admit that the voice of this girl named Kujikawa Risa was very unique, very nice, and had a very special charm. It’s not like she hadn’t heard some idols’ clip voices, but compared to those clip voices, Kujikawa Risa’s voice seemed to be just right…How should I put it, it was very interesting anyway.
Just then, a girl with twin ponytails and glasses opened the door and walked in.
From the outside, the Kujikawa Risa in front of her looked like a cute girl that could be seen everywhere in Duanmu Ai's eyes. At least she couldn't see any big star or popular idol in Kujikawa Risa. She wore a pair of rustic glasses and looked a little uneasy. She walked into the door and was stunned when she saw Duanmu Ai, and then hurriedly lowered her head.
"Ah, hello, nice to meet you, I'm Kujikawa Risa."
"Hello, I'm Duanmu Ai..."
Faced with the sudden greeting from the other party, Duanmu Ai had to put down the teacup and nodded. For some reason, when she heard her answer, Kujikawa Risa seemed to show a hint of dissatisfaction. She turned her head and looked at Inoue.
"Mr. Inoue, is this the person who will partner with me in this concert?"
