Chapter 84 The White Whale 23
Chapter 84 The White Whale 23
Alice sat in the chair prepared for her backstage.
The long skirt hangs down softly, and the tail of the skirt is decorated with thin silver patterned borders, shimmering like stars under the slightly dim light.
She looked at the piano in front of her boredly, put her hands on the keys and pressed them in vain.
In 2 minutes, the concert is about to start.
She would be carried straight up from under the stage, complete with the piano.
Although Alice complained that this way of appearance was nothing new, Alexander was very satisfied with it, and protested against Alice's protest: "Who made you late for the first two rehearsals, this first appearance It has never been settled!"
When Alice thought about it, it seemed that she was indeed at fault, so she could only sit on the piano bench with a slumped face and protest silently.
She took a deep breath and reached out to touch her vocal cords.
Her voice is about to pass through here, and spread to every corner of New York through countless electronic amplification equipment, the Internet and satellite signals.
She could feel the changes in her vocal cords through her fingertips, and the weird itchiness caused by those tiny, polyp-like granulations wriggling in her throat.Those mutated tissues are constantly changing to adapt to her freely changing voice and the frequency contained in the voice.
Under her fingers, her vocal cords began to deform and split in two.
One side makes a singing sound, while the other side is always ready to use the anti-frequency to expel the possible crimson earth nuclear pollution that may come.
At this moment, she felt that the pedestal under her began to vibrate slightly, and with the slight sound of mechanical operation, she was lifted onto the stage along with the grand piano.
Alice narrowed her eyes.
The spotlight shone on her at this moment, and she almost felt the high temperature brought by the condensed light.She heard the cheers erupting from the dark crowd below the stage, and she heard everyone raised their light sticks and support cards and shouted her name loudly.
The lenses of countless cameras under the stage were aimed at her almost flawless face.
The diamonds inlaid in the corners of the eyes sparkle heart-stoppingly in the bright light.
Alice was slightly taken aback.
She looked at the audience in the audience, at all the people who focused on her and shouted frantically, for some reason, her heart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly began to beat violently.
Just like this moment, her life flourished again, the frozen blood flowed like a glacier in spring, and a bright and dazzling smile filled those light blue eyes.
This should have been the whole meaning of her life.
She raised her hand to press the keys, and turned her face slightly to bring her voice closer to the microphone.
Her voice, accompanied by the music played by the piano, sounded leisurely and ethereal.
At the same time, her singing sounded simultaneously on the TV screens of thousands of households, on the big screen in Times Square, and on countless webcast platforms.
The dark crowd fell into silence, and everyone fell silent at the same time. Countless pairs of eyes looked at the pure and beautiful girl sitting in front of the piano like an elf, as if deeply attracted by the most beautiful thing in the world.
"...Unbelievable." Steve couldn't help sighing in a breathy voice.
"Of course." Natasha had an admiring smile on her lips, looking at the girl on the stage who could completely relax anyone and quietly indulge in the music, "She seems to have magical powers."
But at this moment, the little spider sitting in the front row couldn't take his eyes off it.
Sitting next to him are all kinds of big names in the music industry, big names in the entertainment industry, and big figures he can't recognize, and he has no intention of paying attention to them at the moment. He looks at the only light in this dark place, even Breathing was silent.
……
After a short 3 minutes, Alice finished singing "The First Song Without Words" and stood up in the silence.
The hem of her skirt hangs down slightly, reflecting the dizzying glimmer of light. She steps on high heels decorated with light-colored flowers, stands in front of the piano, and picks up the microphone.
"Thank you everyone." She looked at the dark crowd below the stage, and countless eyes focused on her, but she didn't feel stage fright at all, and she even had an extremely bright and happy smile on her face, "Thank you everyone for coming here!"
Before the words fell, the venue that had fallen into silence because of being intoxicated by her singing suddenly burst into cheers.
Everyone was shouting hoarsely, calling her name, and their eyes closely followed the figure under the spotlight, as if they were following a breathtakingly beautiful picture scroll.
At this moment, a ray of light streaked across the sky of New York, passed countless high-rise buildings playing the scene of Alice's concert, and flew straight towards the venue.
Tony landed precisely on the steel frame on the top floor of the open venue, and looked down at Alice standing on the stage.
"Oh, I still missed the opening." He said rather unhappily, "It's all because some retired old man talks too much nonsense."
But this little unhappiness disappeared immediately.
The smile on Alice's face and her sweet and gentle voice healed him almost instantly, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and sat down with a smile on the corner of his mouth, directly on the high-rise steel frame with an excellent view He looked down at the radiant Alice.
It's like she was born to belong on stage.
The dazzling brilliance she erupted at this moment is more intoxicating than ever.
"This is the first song I wrote after I came to New York." Alice said with a smile while holding the microphone in her slender hand, "I'm glad that everyone likes this song, it represents a new beginning for me, Represents a freshman, so I dedicate it to you in the opening segment-"
Her words were swallowed up by another round of cheers and applause.
Alice smiled and waved to the audience, and she saw Peter sitting in the front row at a glance, who was also waving to her excitedly at the moment.
The smile on the corner of Alice's mouth became even brighter. She blinked at the little spider, as if she were saying hello, and Peter almost shouted happily.
Human fanaticism is contagious.
In such an atmosphere, keeping calm seems to have become a very difficult thing.
"The next song was sung in the finals when I participated in the competition—"
Before she finished speaking, the audience in the audience cheered and shouted out the name of the song.
Peter was about to shout out along with it, but at this moment, he was suddenly taken aback.
——The spider sensor suddenly trembled at this moment.
He held down his bristling arm, frowned, and looked back at the dark auditorium.
what happened?
Why does the spider sense respond?
Where is the danger?
His heart was pounding, and his sharp eyes quickly scanned every corner of the venue.
He found Dr. Bruce Banner sitting in a remote corner happily smiling, he saw Steve and Natasha sitting together who didn't know what to whisper, and he even saw who didn't know when he appeared on the ceiling Mr. Stark on the steel frame—hey, although the view there looks really good, Mr. Stark is really not afraid of falling!
Then he saw it.
An invisible infrared sight light slowly rose from under the stage, and the tiny, imperceptible red dot moved quickly, aiming at Alice's forehead almost in the blink of an eye.
Peter's pupils shrank suddenly.
——sniper? !
The next second, the sound of gunfire suddenly rang out, which could almost be ignored amidst the wildly cheering crowd.
"Bang!!!"
……
Alice raised her head suddenly.
She turned her eyes slightly almost instantly, and looked in the direction of the gunshots. Everything around her suddenly fell into slow motion, and the airflow that the bullet passed through the air spread like water ripples.
Those eyes were like a gust of wind on the sparkling sea, shattering the floating light into turbulent whirlpools.
She frowned slightly.
... who the hell!To do this kind of nonsense at such an important concert of hers?
Her vision dimmed again, and her perception was maximized at this moment, spreading out uncontrollably, covering the entire venue.
She saw several crimson tentacles like blood-stained thorns winding up from the deepest part of the ground, connecting to the direction where the bullets came from.
And at the end of one of the crimson tentacles, a figure whose whole body was covered in black was holding a gun, and the muzzle of the gun was already aimed at her.
Alice raised her eyebrows in surprise.
The crimson core really acted first, and it was even more urgent than she expected.
Could it be because the Crimson Earth Core felt fear when my lord forcibly killed the moon in Gotham back then?
It knew it couldn't escape this catastrophe, so it simply took advantage of the fact that the star nest was not ready, and could kill one?
While thinking quickly, the bullet has already arrived in front of him.
At the same time, Peter's spider silk was only less than one meter away from her.
pity.
After all, the speed of spider silk is still faster than bullets.
Alice took half a step back slightly, her movements were extremely small, but she just avoided the bullet.
The bullet almost whizzed past her forehead.
"boom!!!"
There was a loud noise, and the bullet spun and hit the piano, countless sawdust splashed out like an explosion, and scattered like snowflakes!
There was silence for a second.
Although, screams burst out:
"what--!!!"
"It was just now! Was it the sound of a gunshot just now!!"
"What's going on? What's going on?!"
Confusion and panic descended on the concert at this moment. Peter reacted very quickly. He immediately looked in the direction of the sniper. The sniper was on the third-floor stand. Fire a second shot.
Peter shot out the spider silk without hesitation, put on the hood while leaping into the air, and galloped towards the sniper's position.
At the same time, gunshots rang out from the other side!
"boom!!"
Alice took another step back, and the piano was hit by a second shot. This shot directly smashed one of the piano's legs into pieces. The whole piano couldn't support the weight of the column, and it crashed down on the stage.
The second streamer also lit up at this moment, and Iron Man, who had already put on the nano suit, rushed to the second sniper's position.
He didn't have time to think about why a sniper suddenly appeared at this moment, and he didn't understand why someone could bring such a big gun in even though the security measures had been taken to the extreme, but the current situation didn't allow him to think at all. up.
Alice looked at the audience who were in chaos and panic, stood under the spotlight and said without hesitation: "There is an emergency, please don't panic, there are 72 evacuation exits in the venue, and each district has four exits. Take the safe exit, everyone, don’t panic, exit according to your seat—”
"Bang!" The third bullet mercilessly interrupted Alice's voice, the expression on her face remained unchanged, she just turned her head slightly, and the bullet flew past her ear.
Even the high temperature caused by the high speed failed to leave the slightest trace on her fair skin.
"Alice——!" Tony was caught off guard by three gunshots that suddenly sounded in less than five seconds. His heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he watched Alice dodge three times in a row. Sniping, his first reaction in his heart was to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't even have time to think about the anomaly, he could only quickly catch the sniper hiding in the crowd, punched him with a concussion, and the gun melted into several pieces.
He turned his head and found that Alice was still evacuating the crowd in a sudden cardiopulmonary arrest, standing under the spotlight directing the evacuation, like a shining live target.
"Alice! You go down first!!" he roared.
However, the arena was in chaos at this moment. He saw Steve and Natasha helping to evacuate the crowd, eliminating some people who were too panicked to evacuate, and Peter had just dealt with a sniper hiding in the dark. After all, the venue was too noisy, and his voice couldn't reach the stage at all.
The staff has also become a mess. Some people wanted to rush to protect Alice, but they were rushed away by the chaotic crowd.
"Calm down, everyone!" Alice yelled.
There seemed to be a slight change in her voice, as if it suddenly had some extremely incredible magic power, buzzing in everyone's minds.
The noise instantly weakened by half, and those who had fallen into panic also regained their senses and began to evacuate the scene in an orderly manner.
Alice calculated the time required for the audience to evacuate, and looked at the four crimson tentacles that meandered out from the ground and spread out.At this moment, she unleashed all her power without reservation, suppressing the arrival of the eruption period of the crimson earth core as much as possible.
Four heretics controlled by tentacles.
Tony Stark solved one.
Peter Parker solved one.
There are two left.
