Overwatch comes to Marvel

Chapter 561 Lucio Premiere

Lucio Correa dos Santos grew up in Rio de Janeiro.The flames of the Omnic Crisis also spread here.However, under the joint struggle of the righteous forces headed by Overwatch, the omnics retreated, and the crisis finally ushered in the dawn of an end.

But the end does not mean that the city will get better, at most it will no longer be persecuted by the war.The various problems left over from the Omnic Crisis have turned Rio de Janeiro into a desolate and scorched land, and the economic depression has turned it into a poor and crowded slum.

What is a slum? Everyone is crowded in the few places where they can live. Every meal has to be divided into several portions.Because many people have families, only those who live alone can live a little easier, and the rest are all on the verge of starving to death, or watching their relatives starve to death.

Lucio is fed up with poverty, and the only thing that keeps him alive is the old Walkman dug out of the trash.No matter how sad the reality is, as long as you put on the headphones, the whole world is your own.At least during this period of time, he can forget his troubles, forget his hunger, and forget how to bear the burden of tomorrow.

Fortunately, the Brazilian government did not give up on them. Before the revitalization plan was introduced, the government first considered Rio de Janeiro, which had lost hope and vitality due to poverty, and introduced a series of policies aimed at the construction of Rio de Janeiro.

Benefiting from this, Rio de Janeiro has a bit of a city look.With the expansion of the slums, people don't have to huddle together, and the government also provides some simple and repetitive mechanical jobs, so that people can exchange their labor for money.To be honest, the money is very little, and the contribution is not directly proportional to the return, but everyone doesn't think so, and instead scrambles to snatch the hard work.

The slums are no longer full of complaints, but a little bit of prosperity. In the past, it was not uncommon to starve to death, but now no one died of hunger.As long as you are willing to work, there is no guarantee that you will be rich, and it is enough for your family to have enough to eat and drink.

Lucio also exchanged some money with his own hands and strength.He doesn't need to distribute this money to anyone, he is alone from beginning to end, and he invests in himself.His former dream can now be realized with money. He has purchased a lot of music equipment, and after studying hard, his disc playing skills are becoming more and more proficient.

"Oh! Lucio, the music you play is so nice, I feel that all my troubles have left me for a moment."

"If you don't mind, you can actually sing along with the music, uh... I was wrong, you better stop singing, the original song is very good."

"I don't know why, listening to the music makes me very motivated to work. As long as I follow the rhythm of the music, I don't feel so tired after working hard for a day. The main reason is that time passes quickly."

At first, Lucio was immersed in the ocean of music alone, unwilling to face the still cruel reality.It wasn't until the neighbors in the neighborhood kept telling him about the magical power of music that he realized that not only would he forget his troubles because of music, but music could also bring the magical power of forgetting troubles to others.

He can clearly feel the difference. Those who often have a long face without a smile on their faces can't help nodding their heads and stomping their feet to beat the beat after hearing the music, and the expressions on their faces are not so annoying.

"Maybe, through the power of music, I can bring a little joy to this depressed city?"

Although everyone's life is not as difficult as before, they are still not happy. It seems that it would be nice if he could bring a little laughter to the city?
Let this silent city dance to the music!
Lucio belongs to the kind of person who follows his heart, he can do whatever he wants, as long as there are no serious consequences, he can abandon everything and embark on the path he pursues.

After two days of secret preparations, on the third day, Lucio began to perform on the street. When the music equipment was placed against the wall, explosive music came from the stereo.He twisted his body along with the music. Even though he hadn't learned professional dance, as long as he felt the music, he could make some quite ornamental movements with the rhythm.

Pedestrians passing by in a hurry were very surprised, wondering if this guy has a bag in his head, if he doesn't make money, who is he performing here for?These days, no one will reward you with money for your good performance.

Xixi in the world is Lilai. The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit.

Pedestrians have their own things to do, and they are running around to survive, no one stops, and some people don't even bother to turn their heads.

Lucio was not discouraged because no one stopped to watch, but he never tired of it. As long as there is music, he is happy, no matter when, no matter where.

After performing like this for a week, finally, a group of people gathered around Lucio's performance venue.They either smiled and nodded, clapped their hands together to beat the beat, or shook their heads... In short, at this time, they can put aside the troubles of reality, let their hearts go and enjoy, and enjoy the beauty of this moment.

This is the power of music.

Of course, many people can only enjoy ten, twenty or ten minutes, because apart from music, they are husbands of women, fathers of children, and sons of old people.There are too many things that need to be shouldered and borne by them, but this moment of indulging in music can bring them hope in life and let them know that this life is still beautiful.

Originally, apart from the meager salary, there was no motivation to commute to get off work, because there were long-term music performances on the side of the road, which gave many people a hope to go out and go home every day.

Some young people who feed their families alone want to perform with Lucio, and the latter is willing to accept it, but not everyone accepts it.If you want to perform with him, you must at least have some talent, singing, dancing, DJing...you must be able to do one of them.

As a result, this non-governmental performance team changed from Lucio alone, to two, then to five, and now to nine.

Nine people divide the work to meet all the needs of a performance team, so no one will be admitted.

They performed day after day on the street, at community parties, and as they grew older, began a series of legendary underground shows.

Everything is developing in a good direction. Through music, they bring the power to forget their troubles to the suffering people.The revitalization plan is also going on, and Rio de Janeiro is getting better and better. Even though the city is still dominated by poor areas, the poor are quite satisfied because of the music, Lucio, and various performances.

But Lucio's neighborhood is thrown into turmoil when the multinational Fiskar Group plans to rebuild much of the city.
