Watching the puppets clean up the debris on the stage, Yueguang thought in a daze: "With my piano skills, I will not be kicked off the stage by the audience."
So he wasn't worried about meeting the same fate as the violinist.
"However, there are also many good people participating in the music festival..."
The person who just took the stage was just a music lover who drank too much wort and was therefore bold and lacked self-awareness.
However, there were many people wearing masks backstage, waiting for the performance.
Explorers all have functions far beyond ordinary people, so Moonlight·1902 is not sure whether he can become the most popular performer in one fell swoop.
However, a lot of practice and performance experience, as well as superb piano skills, still gave him the confidence he deserved.
"If I play "Yesterday's Carnival" from "Unknown Nocturne"..."
Moonlight could imagine that the audience went crazy.
"The winner should be me."
The pianist's heart was beating fast at the thought of making the audience go crazy, and he was looking forward to going on stage as soon as possible.
It was still the host who had not revealed his true face, and his voice rang out from the loudspeaker:
"The fifth group of guests will perform next. They are a small band wearing masks."
Backstage, the three explorers who had been waiting quietly stood up.
If there was any competitor here that Moonlight felt threatened by, it was them.
The leader of this small band wears a Queen-level mask called the "Mourning Singer".
The face of a woman with closed eyes and tears on her cheeks, singing.
The mask has traces of old age, indicating that the other person is an experienced explorer and musician.
What makes Yueguang feel uneasy is not just because of the captain's qualifications.
It can be clearly felt that his two teammates are also very strong.
The face of the "pied piper" is wrapped in a gingham scarf, and his charming and agile temperament surrounds him like illusory butterflies.
Wearing traditional clothes and a stone mask, the "River Valley Chime Master" exudes a calm temperament. Like the flute player, he is a rare mask among the Jack class.
The singer alone is already quite threatening, but the opponent also has two powerful Jack-level assistants.
This is why Moonlight, who has always been proud of her piano skills, is nervous about music competitions.
The trio of singers took to the stage with an aura that commanded the entire audience.
The spotlight illuminated the three of them, and the audience noticed that the three of them seemed to be wearing the same style of exotic clothing.
And the exotic smell revealed by the clothes made Yueguang frown even more.
Zheng! …
The singer raised a pair of slender, dark fingers and plucked a vertical string in the air.
A melodious flute sounded, followed by a drum sound as low and desolate as the sunset.
Moonlight closed her eyes involuntarily and began to feel the music played by the other party.
The singer spoke leisurely, her voice clear but timeless, as if a singer who had traveled through thousands of years was standing in a distant and vast desert singing.
This kind of expressiveness made people's skin crawl, and Yueguang completely forgot that she was an opponent on the stage and just lingered in the music.
The state of the audience in the audience was also very strange.
It stands to reason that the excitement caused by the last shocking farce should still remain in their hearts.
But when the sad singer opens her mouth and sings the first note...
The feeling of excitement disappeared like water vapor evaporated by the sun.
This vast song has no lyrics. The singer just plays the key points with the accompaniment on the harp, complemented by melodious humming.
Moonlight, who had never heard this piece before, could not help but fall deeply into the world created by their music due to his sensitive artistic talent.
He stood in a desert, knowing in his heart that the desert in front of him was still a prosperous city a thousand years ago.
Everything is invincible to the power of time. The world has undergone vicissitudes of change, and prosperous cities will eventually turn into depressed deserts.
Everyone has left this homeland that is no longer fertile, but no one knows that there is an existence that cannot be erased staying here...
The sun sank at the end of the horizon, as if swallowed by a giant beast.
The sky turned into a dark blue that made people feel quiet and scary.
The stars emerged from the deep blue "sea surface", as if the sea creatures hiding from the sun noticed the disappearance of the sun and quietly surfaced...
There seems to be an ancient well in front?
Long singing, pure string music, melodious flute sound like weeping, and extremely vicissitudes of drum sound...
The mysterious musical score led the moonlight forward, towards the slightly weird things in the desert.
It’s not Gujing…
The black abyss in the desert was expanding. When I walked to the side, I found a huge hole with blood stains and metal teeth on the wall.
There is something in that hole.
Although he was obviously scared, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and wanted to take a look at what was in the huge cave.
Let's take a look... The singing seems to have a magical power that captivates the soul.
Slowly shift your center of gravity, lean your upper body slightly forward, and look into the hole.
The pianist was stunned.
He saw endless black hair surging like waves at the bottom of the cave.
He saw a woman crying here forever and ever, her countless multi-jointed long fingers trembling while holding her flowing black hair. He heard the immortal resentful woman cursing at the bottom of the pit, cursing everything...
A set of words flashed through Yueguang's mind, making him drenched in cold sweat.
The only ancient god who became a god out of resentment, the immortal resentful woman Shadoama who was forgotten in the pit by the ancient country.
I once caught a glimpse of her strange appearance in Ocean City, but I didn't expect to meet her followers again here.
Moonlight has no time to think about it. If you look at the clothes worn by the three foreigners, you can definitely trace the name of the ancient country that suddenly disappeared on the shores of the Earth Sea.
He was no longer interested in analyzing in detail how strange and unique the music theory and arrangement of this piece of music called "Distant Ancient Country" was...
Black hair rose from the bottom of the cave like a rising tide. If he didn't wake up at this moment, everyone present would find that the next performer disappeared before the curtain call.
pain.
There was a sharp pain in my chest.
The pain caused Moonlight to open his eyes, which he thought he had kept open.
Shado Aman's long black hair at the bottom of the pit overlapped with the mesmerized faces of the audience.
The pianist escapes from the illusion created by the music.
Panting and sweating profusely, he did not forget to put his hand into his inner pocket and scratch the back of Miss White, the companion who helped him escape from the illusion.
The white mouse was also quite restless at this moment and squeaked slightly.
Moonlight can confirm that this song "Distant Ancient Country" should be a "forbidden song" because its artistic conception is directly related to a certain evil god.
And this small band will choose to play a forbidden song, and its purpose is also very simple——
On the one hand, they are believers in Shado Amma, so they naturally want to use music to show the power of their faith in the Lord;
On the other hand, they believe that this piece of music will allow them to win without fail.
The moonlight looked at the opposite side of the stage with cold eyes. Behind the thousands of spectators, a black and green mist rose.
The Forbidden Song, supplemented by spiritual power, not only has breathtaking power - it can truly create magical effects.
Three "maids of Shado Amma" wearing black dresses, faces covered by black cloth and pointed hats, stood at the back of the crowd, harmonizing the songs of the mourning singers on the stage.
Few people are aware of their existence. Because of their strong souls and keen intuition, Moonlight can directly see those weird things.
As the last part of the song floated out faintly, and some time after the music ended, the audience, immersed in the music, realized that the performance was over.
Human or not, they all went crazy over the singing group's performance.
They clapped and cheered violently, seemingly speechless with the astonishing performance of the performers on stage. They could only express their emotions at this moment by clapping their palms until they were swollen and painful.
And Moonlight was in danger.
There is no doubt that he knew that no matter how he performed the song "Yesterday's Carnival" written by the young Bernard Shaw, he would never be able to defeat "The Ancient Country Far Away".
This is a natural gap in the artistic conception and connotation of the music.
What's even more troublesome is that the three black maids behind the audience have not disappeared.
They kept chanting inaudibly behind the audience.
And that kind of sound will make the audience reject all other music.
As long as Moonlight takes to the stage to play, no matter how wonderful his performance is, he will never be able to convey his music to the audience controlled by the occult.
They had no idea they would boo...
The boos represent the pianist's destruction.
"The next performer is an elegant male pianist...
"He was invited to play."
Moonlight, who had never escaped from any performance, was pushed out of the backstage by a force in his heart, and the spotlight instantly dazzled his eyes.
He knew that if he ran away at this moment, he would definitely end up with a tragic end.
what to do?
Under the harsh scrutiny of the audience, Moonlight, wearing the mask of "imperial tuner", walked forward with a blank mind and walked to the piano prepared for herself...
what to do?
Relying on muscle memory, Moonlight·1902 actually sat on the piano bench, letting the spotlight burn him, and the sweat evaporated into mist.
what to do?
His whole body was covered in sweat, and his pale fingers were constantly trembling.
He couldn't help but imagine himself being burned to a skeleton on stage.
The mice were also frightened by the heartbeat of their companions.
She squeaked in his arms, seeming to persuade him to calm down.
Moonlight swallowed when she heard Miss White's voice.
The next second, when he recalled the feeling of playing the piano...
The storm in my mind finally calmed down.
I've always pressed the keys to please myself. he thought.
No longer looking at the three weird maids with her peripheral vision, Yue Guang took a deep breath.
It’s just playing the piano, I’ve been doing this my whole life…
Then just play it.
Amid the suspicious whispers from the audience, Moonlight, sitting in front of the piano, began the first life-or-death performance in his life.
