Elder brother's garrison

Page 2541

As Hood and her two companions were about to return to the place where they had parted ways with Little White and Bismarck, they suddenly saw a large number of visitors crowding into a pristine corner of the modern exhibition hall. The crowd was so dense that it was dark and noisy, and they seemed to be discussing something. Some of them even took out professional cameras and were filming and recording something, with the sound of cameras clicking incessantly.

Hu De and his two companions were stunned.

"Hmm? What's this...?" Hood looked at the scene before him in confusion. "Is there some outstanding exhibit around here? Why are so many people gathered here all of a sudden?"

“That’s strange, there weren’t this many people just now,” Iowa said to Hood.

"That's right, have some exhibits been added here? I remember when I passed by here just now, there wasn't anything particularly memorable." Hood nodded as she spoke, forgetting about looking for Xiaobai, and stepped towards the crowd.

As Hu De and his two companions approached the crowd, they noticed a solitary figure in snow-white standing on the outer edge of the crowd.

The small, cute, white figure wore a magical baseball cap with a long brim that covered the upper part of its nose from this angle, but its cheeks and lips were still fair and pretty, with a pinkish hue.

"Hey? Little White?" Hu De and the other two called out.

Hearing Hu De and the other two calling her, the lone, snow-white figure turned around and saw that it was indeed Xiao Bai herself.

When Xiaobai saw Hu De and the other two, she immediately showed a relieved expression, but soon she seemed to remember something, and her little face was full of embarrassment.

"Ah... Hu, Hud, Lexington, Iowa... you're back." Little White waved to the crowd with a wry smile.

"Little White, what are you doing here?" The group came up to Little White, and Hood put his arm around Little White's shoulder, as if to pull him into his arms. "Didn't you just leave with Bismarck?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Where's Bismarck?" Hood looked left and right, but couldn't find Bismarck anywhere except in the dense crowd. She immediately frowned unhappily. "Wait? Did Bismarck abandon you and run away? How dare she!"

"No, no, it's not like that..." Little White heard that Hood seemed unhappy, so she quickly pressed Hood's lower abdomen, smiled wryly, and looked up to say, "It's not that Bismarck left me behind, I just went to the bathroom, but, but when I came back, this is what happened here..."

"Huh?" Hu De was stunned. "Xiao Bai, you mean, in the time it took you to go to the restroom, there were already so many people here?"

"yes……"

"What about the Bismarcks?" Hood was now genuinely puzzled.

"..." When Xiaobai heard Hood ask about Bismarck's whereabouts, her face became even more embarrassed. She didn't know how to bring it up with Bismarck, so she could only scratch her cheek awkwardly and then point to the center of the crowd, "Um... how about... we take a look inside?"

Hu De was stunned.

A sudden feeling of unease settled over Hood.

So Hood turned to look at the crowd.

At that moment, commotion seemed to begin within the crowd. Several security guards jogged quickly from the entrance to the front of the group to maintain order.

"Please do not gather in the center, as this will obstruct the view for others! Thank you for your cooperation!"

The crowd was finally parted in front of Hood, and the "exhibit" in the center was finally revealed to him.

then.

Hood's eyes widened.

Because at that moment, she finally saw the "true face" of this artwork that was being frantically sought after and admired by the crowd.

That was Bismarck himself, sitting on a quiet platform, legs crossed, with an indifferent expression, oblivious to everything around him, focused solely on studying his new mobile phone!

Chapter 3565 Yes!!

I'm super!

It turns out this "exhibit" is Bismarck!!!

Upon seeing Bismarck, Hood felt as if he almost couldn't catch his breath and fainted on the spot.

Surrounded by the crowd, Bismarck, held in the center of the room, remained completely unmoved despite being discussed, photographed, and observed. She simply sat with her legs crossed, quietly playing on her phone. Her striking white hair and the screen's glow reflected in her crimson pupils made her appear as if she were suspended in mid-air. She never looked away from her phone, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

Yet this was Bismarck.

But it suddenly became a highly sought-after item in the exhibition hall!

As more and more people came to see Bismarck, the crowds quickly caused congestion on the red carpet, forcing the exhibition hall to deploy more and more security guards to maintain order. They even set up a cordon around Bismarck to prevent others from getting too close to him.

"How could she... How could she..." Hu De's hand, which was holding Xiao Bai, trembled as he saw this.

"Um...actually, Bismarck called me away because she wasn't quite sure how to use the phone and wanted to ask me..." Xiaobai subconsciously covered Hood's trembling hand and said with a wry smile, "Well...anyway, we found a fairly secluded place, like here...I explained to Bismarck how to use the new phone, and after we talked for a while, I went to the restroom. Bismarck stayed behind and waited for me, and when I came back, this is what it looked like."

“I see. So Bismarck was mistaken for performance art by the tourists.” Iowa nodded and said to the crowd, “Playing on your phone in an exhibition hall full of artworks is quite an unconventional behavior.”

"No, no, no, what kind of art is this?!" Hood immediately shook his head. "Bismarck is just playing on his phone!"

“Hood, you just told us that some things may not have any value, but they will be given value in an art gallery,” Lexington said to Hood with a smile. “Playing on your phone and playing on your phone in an art gallery are two different things.”

"Aaaaaahh ...

Xiao Bai looked at Hu De's frantic expression with curiosity.

"Huh? What's Hood doing here..."

"The impact was too great for her; she probably can't handle it," Lexington said with a smile, patting Little White's head.

"What can't you accept?"

"Hmm... It's probably like being the worst student in the class, someone who never studies, but suddenly gets all the questions right on the college entrance exam by luck and becomes the top scorer?"

"Eh...that feeling is kind of..."

"By the way, you were originally the top student in this class."

"Ah... I think I understand now." Xiaobai nodded.

As Xiaobai was talking to the crowd, Bismarck, who was sitting on the steps surrounded by people like a star, suddenly noticed her cat-ear hair twitch slightly. She put down her phone and looked over at Xiaobai.

"Wow"

The crowd gasped in amazement as soon as they saw Bismarck put down his phone.

"She...she put down her phone!!!"

"She...she's looking at the crowd!"

Are we about to see what happens next?

The crowd was excited, but after a brief period of noise, they quickly quieted down, holding their breath and watching Bismarck's next move with great anticipation.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Bismarck looked at the overwhelming number of people around her with some confusion, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She finally put down her crossed legs, stood up, crossed the cordon, walked through the crowd, and returned to the four of them.

The crowd fell silent for a few seconds.

then.

The crowd suddenly cheered!

"Ohhhhhhhh!!!"

"She's back among us!"

"She's back!!!"

"It's perfect! It's perfect!"

"This is the most perfect performance!!!"

Amid cheers, the crowd raised their cameras as if celebrating something, and everyone's face beamed with excitement.

Hood has completely crashed.

Xiaobai looked around at the crowd in a daze, having no idea what was going on.

Why did this group of people start celebrating and cheering as soon as Bismarck returned?

Fortunately, the awkward situation did not last long.

About half a minute later, a new wave of security guards arrived at the scene. They quickly dispersed the crowd, rapidly wrapped the corner steps where Bismarck had sat with ornate red rope, and finally pasted several photos on the wall behind the steps.

Xiao Bai looked at the photos.

She discovered that most of the photos were taken while Bismarck was using her phone. The only different photo was in the center, showing Bismarck getting up and walking into the crowd.

Although I'm not entirely sure what happened... judging from the celebratory reactions of the people around me... Bismarck shouldn't have really messed up... right?

Xiao Bai pondered this.

As the security guards dispersed the crowd, Xiaobai and her group were quickly protected by the guards. Other people who wanted to come up and talk to Bismarck could only leave regretfully under the protection of the guards and go to other places in the exhibition hall.

A little while later, a middle-aged man in a suit, led by several staff members, came to Xiaobai.

The middle-aged man first bowed to Bismarck with great excitement, and then looked excitedly at the others.

"What a perfect performance art! The moment you walked into the crowd at the end, it was perfect! Every word you uttered was worthy of an outstanding artist!" The middle-aged man was so excited that his face was flushed. He reached out his hand to Bismarck, his eyes shining with admiration and respect. "It's a pleasure to meet you and your friends, Miss. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Lumi, the person in charge of the modern art section of this traveling exhibition. You can call me Director Lumi!"

“…?” Bismarck looked at the middle-aged man’s outstretched hand, puzzled.

The middle-aged man's hand hovered in mid-air. Seeing that Bismarck did not reach out, he did not show any embarrassment. Instead, he laughed and lowered his hand.

"Truly a remarkable artist; his behavior is unique!"

"Who is he?" Bismarck looked down and asked Little White.

“Director Lu,” Xiaobai replied.

"Why did he come to me?" Bismarck asked again.

"I don't know..." Xiaobai shook his head.

Bismarck then looked up at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Director Lu also accurately deduced the relationship between Bismarck and Xiaobai from their conversation.

Director Lu immediately turned his enthusiastic gaze to Xiaobai.

"Miss, may I ask your name?"

“My surname is Lu,” Xiaobai answered instinctively.

“Miss Lu! What a coincidence! We have the same surname! Haha!” Director Lu said to Xiaobai, his excitement still evident on his face. “The performance art you and your friend just performed has generated a huge response here. I sincerely thank you and your friend for your performance!”

"Um... I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"No, no, no, this is not trouble at all!" The middle-aged man immediately shook his head and said, "It's fantastic, I can only say it's fantastic! Your performances are so profound, so thought-provoking! Rather, you've taught us all a lesson!"

"what?"

"My God, in this corridor filled with art exhibits, while everyone is focused on these works brimming with absurd ideas, aren't we also distancing ourselves from this world!" The middle-aged man raised his hands, exclaiming with ecstasy. "Art is born from the masses, but it is also detached from the masses. This is a fact and trend we all accept. But you and your friends have put on a spectacular performance art piece. You've shown us that everything we're in is nothing but a delusional dream. The absurd ideas filling this corridor are ultimately fantastical fantasies detached from the essence of life. Human life should be grounded in reality. Your criticism is so deafening. Essentially, what's the difference between us, who are intoxicated by art and driven mad by it, and those who spend their days immersed in the internet, letting their lives decay on the internet? It's nothing more than so-called elegance and ordinariness!"

“Uh…” Xiaobai stared wide-eyed.

"In the very end, your act of putting down your phone and walking into the crowd is telling us that no matter when or what the situation, as long as you are willing to connect with the world, willing to interact with the world, and as long as you recognize the present situation, it's never too late to embrace the essence of life!" Director Lu continued excitedly, "What an uplifting work this is! In a modern art exhibition filled with criticism, rebellion, and decadence, this is so rare, yet what a moving spiritual core it is! She came, she sat down, she was engrossed, and finally she put it down, but stood up and walked back into the crowd!!"

Director Lu was beaming with joy, gesturing wildly.

Xiao Bai and his group watched Director Lu in silence.

“Miss Lu, do you think my understanding is correct?” Director Lu looked at Xiaobai.

“…Um…” Xiaobai turned to look at Bismarck, his expression complicated. “Bismarck…right, right?”

Bismarck's eyes were open, and a dotted circle loading indicator appeared above his head.

Bismarck, with the loading symbol on his head, nodded to the expectant Curator Lu.

"Correct."

Director Lu was overjoyed!

Chapter 3566 Taking the Young Master?

After witnessing Bismarck, the great artist in the eyes of many, nod in acknowledgment, Director Lu's excitement and sense of accomplishment at being recognized were so overwhelming that they almost overflowed his face.

"Haha, hahaha! Hahahaha! Actually, my understanding is still very shallow. I know your performance is definitely not that simple, but after I go back and calm down to continue studying your performance, I will definitely have more insights!" Director Lu was so excited that his face turned red, and he danced around on the spot. He stared at Bismarck eagerly and kept thanking him. "As a great artist, you certainly don't want the depth of your work to be defined by your own words. I know you must have more to include in it. Thank you for your kindness!"

Faced with Director Lu's excited expression, everyone was at a loss for words.

Only Bismarck was still mechanically nodding to Director Lu.

"Correct."

Bismarck's reaction seemed to fit the image of the performance artist in the minds of Director Lu and everyone in the exhibition hall. After a period of excitement, Director Lu calmed down a bit. He rubbed his hands and finally turned his gaze back to Xiaobai.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please excuse my poor appearance." Director Lu grinned at the crowd, looking quite satisfied.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Xiaobai shook her head.

"Speaking of which, Miss Lu, I wonder what your relationship is with this artist..." Director Lu suddenly asked in a low voice.

“Family,” Xiaobai said to Director Lu.

"Oh, I see!" Director Lu's face showed an expression of "I knew it!" "Actually, I'm not an outsider and don't really understand ship girls, but seeing that you all have white hair, I was just thinking that maybe you're sisters!"
