Masha didn't recognize the song this time, but Qianxun, Cai Shi and the league secretary obviously recognized it.
Chihiro: "Champs Elysees, famous French song."
The cheerful tune made everyone in the store start shaking their legs.
Masha also started shaking his legs.
The French girl not only sang, but also took brisk steps and danced to the rhythm in the store - it was not a very formal dance step, but more like improvisation. However, seeing such a beautiful girl moving around among the customers and spreading smiles was a pleasure in itself.
——This guy is indeed a Frenchman.
Masha thought.
——This sense of art, this fiery passion, this is authentically French.
After the French girl finished her performance, there was another round of applause.
Comrade Josephine began to sing before the applause died down.
——You finish your performance and I take the stage?
——However, a professional spy probably cannot beat this French girl who might be a real artist when it comes to art, right?
Masha thought so, but he soon discovered that Comrade Josephine obviously also knew how to sing and so on, and he was no match for the French.
So she put a lot of effort into choosing the songs.
She sang the German version of "Singing of Turbulent Youth".
—Gryffindor, no, Comrade Josephine gets ten points!

Damn, I calculated wrong. It turns out I have already written four chapters today.
There are still two and a half hours left, let's challenge the next seven
Chapter 287: Challenges and Opportunities Coexist (Part )
Cai Shi suddenly turned around and walked towards the stairs.
"What are you doing?" Masha asked puzzledly.
"Go get my violin, I want to show off my talent too." Cai Shi said and left the store without waiting for Masha's response.
At this time, Comrade Josephine finished singing. Masha was the first to applaud, and while clapping he shouted: "Good! Comrade, vodka!"
At this time, the League Secretary seemed to remember something. He lowered his head and rummaged through the counter. He really took out a bottle of liquor with the word "vodka" written in English on the label.
She pulled out the cork, poured a glass, and put it on the counter.
Comrade Josephine came up, picked up the glass and drank it all.
There was applause in the store again.
Cai Shi came down with her violin. She glanced at the Frenchman and bowed to the customers in the store: "Next, I will perform a song "Skylark" for everyone."
Then Cai Shi got into position, held up the bow, took a deep breath, and started playing.
This was the first time that Masha heard Cai Shi play the violin.
This joyful melody and the smile on Cai Shi's face as she played the violin instantly refreshed Masha's impression of his junior sister.
——Yes, I almost forgot that Cai Shi is also a talented girl who was able to get into Experimental Middle School, has a tenth-level violin degree, and can follow most of my jokes.
Amid the lively music, Masha suddenly noticed that the league secretary was winking at her.
After their eyes met, the League Secretary pointed at the computer screen.
When Masha took a look, he didn't find anything different in the live broadcast room at first. He looked at the league secretary in confusion. Then, Masha discovered that his live broadcast room was actually at the top of the entertainment hour list.
It seems that everyone likes beautiful girls singing and dancing.
Looking at the number of followers again, it is already more than 50,000.
——This is going to be a hit!
**
At eight o'clock that day, Masha decided to close early - no, he decided to close at eight o'clock in the future.
Since there are French girls working in the store, it's normal for them to get off work at 8 o'clock, right?
After eight o'clock, Masha kicked out all the foreign girls.
Comrade Josephine was very confused: "I am a comrade of yours, why should I be kicked out too?"
"Because we must insist on taking the road of XX characteristics and XXXX." said Masha.
Comrade Josephine stood up decisively and left on her own.
After there were no outsiders in the store, Masha looked at Hua Gu Shuang and Hong Ye.
"You two have to go home tonight. It will probably take some time to arrange your stay here. Remember, don't tell anyone about your superpowers. If you do, the people who hear you will have their memories erased by the long-named office with that stick that emits red light."
Hongye and Huagu Shuang looked at each other and seemed reluctant to leave.
After all, after seeing those foreign girls speaking fluent foreign languages and performing nearly professional-level talent shows, the two of them felt the reality of what Masha said - otherwise it would be impossible to explain why there would really be foreign girls coming to throw themselves at them.
Hongye suddenly asked: "Tui Mom, can we also awaken superpowers in the future?"
Masha shook her head: "I don't know. When I find out, I will tell you as soon as possible."
Masha left this "foreshadowing" so it wouldn't be considered a lie.
"By the way," Hua Gu Shuang suddenly said, "Does the driver Lao Wang know about this?"
Cai Shi: "Yes, Lao Wang and my father both know."
Hua Gu Shuang suddenly realized: "I see! No wonder Senior Sister Cai Shi seems to have been betrothed to Tui Ma, so that's how it is. Tui Ma is so amazing, beautiful girls from all over the world come to you for breeding!"
"Breeding...Have you just finished watching the postpartum care of sows or something?" Masha said with a smile. At this time, Lao Wang came in, so Masha raised his hand and made a "let's go" gesture to the girls.
The sixteen-year-old group then reluctantly went home.
Masha and the remaining girls looked at each other and made a "go" gesture.
Chihiro used the remote control to lower the store's rolling door, and the group ran straight to the back and entered the Faraday cage that had been prepared earlier.
To be on the safe side, Masha took out a radio wave detector and conducted a careful detection.
"This is troublesome." After making sure there was no problem, Masha looked at the girls, "Bombing Langley ended up attracting a bunch of troublesome people."
"Isn't this great? I can open an international harem." The tone of the League Secretary's voice was between teasing and gloating.
"It would be fine if we could capture them quickly, but..." Masha scratched his head, "It would be great if it were that simple."
"I see you're very quick with the 16-year-old group and Gui Gui."
Gui Gui blushed when she heard this: "I...I...I am more obsessed with looks."
——No, actually you were fooled by my low IQ.
Of course, Masha would not say that. He even joked, "Oh? This is the first time I know that I can actually control my looks?"
"Well, I think... it's not bad. It might be more to my taste."
Masha looked at Guigui and felt a little guilty.
——You were impressed by my speech, and then you became obsessed with me! I’m sorry!
"If we can't take them down right away, our activities will be severely restricted. They could come visit us unexpectedly, or leave something behind while at work and come back to get it." The league secretary said solemnly, "If someone goes out, whether we let them in or not, we'll think there's something wrong."
"Yes. Letting it in doesn't explain why someone isn't here. We must be surrounded by cameras by now. Not letting it in - that's even more problematic." Qianxun took over the conversation. "From the results, our hasty counterattack against Langley put us in a passive position."
"However, in this situation, the possibility of our family being kidnapped has been greatly reduced. In this sense, we have actually achieved our goal. You are wrong." Masha shook his head. "Besides, this is also an opportunity, an opportunity to separate the Shadow and the Vigilante. If we use it well, it will be completely transformed into our advantage."
The League Secretary and Qianxun looked at each other and said, "You want to use these people to create an alibi for us?"
"Yes. But not today. Doing this today would be too deliberate. Let's be quiet for a few days first, and then we'd better seize the opportunity to do some vigilante activities. As long as we plan it in advance and return before the other party finds out about the problem, we can feed them a lot of magic. Then, we will choose a suitable target, such as the house of a bad guy who has done many evil things, and do it."
Qianxun continued Masha's words: "And when this happened, our people were right in front of them!"
"Yes, as long as it is arranged. If it goes well, it will create a situation where people will think that the Shadow, the Vigilantes and us are three completely unrelated groups."
The league secretary smiled and said, "I like this idea."
"Now let's put the words together. Especially Guigui, you just need to act dumb in front of these foreign girls."
"I know." Gui Gui nodded, "That's what I did today. I didn't say a word to Shelley."
"Good, very good." Masha picked up Guigui and rewarded her with a kiss.

It’s probably not realistic to write seven updates, so I’ll just write one more and then go to bed.
Remember to vote, any vote will do.
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their support.
Chapter 288: Trust for Three Months at Most
Following the location obtained from her cell phone, Shelley arrived at the small building that served as the "Joint Surveillance Headquarters."
In a separate room on the third floor assigned to the Government Telecommunications Bureau, Shelley met W, the person in charge of the operation.
"Ms. M just called us," W sat in a chair and looked at Shelley through his square-framed glasses. "She is very concerned about this operation. So, have you found anything?"
"I'll write a report..."
"So I'm asking about things that don't fit into the intelligence science field, and therefore won't be included in the report by you, an honor student." W smiled kindly, "First, tell me what kind of person he is."
After thinking seriously for a while, Shelley said, "He is very smart, has an extremely flexible mind, a sense of humor, and is very good at persuading people. He can turn something that seems almost specious into something extremely persuasive through pure rhetoric and strict logic. I almost fell for him."
"It sounds like he's someone that girls would really like?"
"Yes," Shelley nodded without thinking, "He is a man who can make girls happy. He is not the kind who thinks he can make girls happy, but he can really make girls laugh. He is also a very good cook. Even if girls don't love such a man, they will be happy to be friends with him. Of course, he has shortcomings. He is not considerate. In Chinese terms, he is not a warm man."
W spread his hands and said, "This is a shortcoming that can be ignored."
Shelley nodded. "Yes. In addition, although he gives me an unreliable feeling, I can see that those girls trust him, and it is definitely not just the level of love trust. This man, under his unreliable appearance, hides a special ability that makes girls feel at ease and give him complete trust. I guess it is resourceful and cunning."
"Do you think his outward behavior is a disguise?" W asked.
"No," Shelley shook his head. "People have different faces. You taught me that, Mr. W. The unreliable Masha is also part of his personality, as is his resourcefulness and cunningness. Based on my observation today, I believe that he is indeed someone who would do something like wiping out Langley with a railgun. And I think that the current situation may also be part of his calculations."
Mr. W just responded, “Oh?”
Apparently he thought that at this time he should let Shelley continue speaking and trust Shelley's judgment.
The respect shown by this action significantly increased Shelley's enthusiasm: "I personally think that we will become his tool to create an 'alibi'. He deliberately asked us to come here. I guess after a short period of calm, he will start to act and there will be new attacks, but when the attacks occur, all of them will be in front of us 'working girls'."
Mr. W finally spoke up, "But if they were all in front of you guys when the attack happened, that would indeed prove that they have nothing to do with the Shadow."
Shelley nodded. "Yes, so I won't write this speculation into the report. But my intuition tells me that they have a way to do it. Masha will think of a very clever way to achieve this."
"It seems that you think highly of his strategy." Mr. W said, "This is unusual, you..."
"This person is smarter than me." Shelley bit her lip and held it in for a few seconds before continuing, "Although I don't want to admit it, this person is smarter than me. I can feel it."
"feel?"
"Yes, it's that kind of certainty of 'Ah, he's better than me'. I've only had this feeling about one person before, and that's you, Mr. W."
W looked at Shelley kindly and said, "In terms of age, I am your grandfather. It is normal for you to feel this way. But the other person is the same age as you."
"This is the scariest part," Shelley said seriously. "The World Government calls him the Yellow King. Is it really a random selection from the naming library?"
"No, it is named in a similar way to typhoons."
"Maybe this naming is also destined by heaven." Shelley said with a serious face.
**
On another floor, in the same room of the same type, Commissioner Vladimir was looking at Comrade Josephine.
"So, you're saying that's a guy who wouldn't attack Langley?"
"No, I mean, that's not a person who would launch a terrorist attack. When I sang 'Singing About Turbulent Youth', I noticed his expression, and that person resonated very much with the song. Such a person would not become a terrorist."
Vladimir nodded. “If you really resonate with that song, you won’t become a terrorist.”
"Not only that, he will retaliate when the United States hurts its friends."
