Chapter 118 The Devil Comes Playing the Piano
Chapter 118 The Devil Comes Playing the Piano
Zhuo Lan guessed that the job this time would not be too easy, but never expected that the biggest problem was not Lila's.
At that time, the recording of the show had already started, and it was progressing smoothly. Zhuo Lan sat next to Lila as a guest commentator.The blood race and the female demon god seem to be talking and laughing happily, and have a tacit understanding, but in fact they don't discuss with each other in private at all, and they don't even look at each other very much.Of course, the main reason is that Zhuo Lan didn't pay much attention to Lila unilaterally, because she was afraid that what she would say when she came over was not a whisper about the show, but about the crown.
Zhuo Lan also met Duke Sudial at the guest table. There were several people between the two, and theoretically there was no chance for a conversation.But Sudial didn't know what he was thinking, he insisted on talking to Zhuo Lan in the air, the kind of roll call.Zhuo Lan couldn't help it, and it was not easy to turn his face in front of the camera, so he just replied a few words.
Fortunately, it was really a topic of classical music. Although there was a hint of meaning, Zhuo Lan still dealt with it casually.
After listening to it, Sutiar said with a meaningful expression: "It seems that you have been living well before, and you have appreciated a lot of fine art."
Zhuo Lan glanced at him: "I am freer than real humans... and the living conditions of a large number of artists are not so good. Although their works are now collected in art galleries and performed in concert halls, at that time they were not just Writing and preparing works in the palace and castle."
Sudial said: "I thought that the blood race has always lived a luxurious life like in film and television works."
Zhuo Lan raised his eyebrows. He had a lot to say, but all his words finally came together in one sentence: "Yes, but it's not necessary."
Lila laughed beside her.
She could imagine how many people on the Internet would say that Zhuo Lan was pretending to be X if this episode was broadcast.
But so what?This little thing has even been a "king", and his life really deserves the description of "extreme extravagance".Whether he lived a good life or a bad life in the past cannot be confirmed or denied by these human beings with a single mouth.
This episode is over, and the show continues.
Finally, it was Palin's turn to play.
As soon as Perin appeared, Zhuo Lan felt the aura of the demon race suddenly increase.You know, Lila next to him is already at the level of a demon god. Zhuo Lan feels that this guy in Palin is really not easy to have such an obvious aura in front of Lila.
——Don’t really be Lila’s… that one?
Zhuo Lan glanced at Lila quietly, but Lila was quite calm and interested in looking at the expression on the stage.
It's no wonder, after all, Palin's stage this time is in a "dark and mysterious" style, which is similar to the aesthetics of these demons—or their most common landscape.It was normal for Lila to be interested in this.
Palin's makeup, hair, and clothing are not as serious as before, and they look more "wavy".The shirt was buttoned to the third, and the jacket was also irregularly cut with a sense of drape, and the edges were ripped on purpose.Palin's face was pale, with wound makeup on, and it looked like he had been tortured.
Only Zhuo Lan, seeing Perin's straight face from the surveillance projection, raised his eyebrows and said to himself: This is his original expression...
Palin sat down at the piano, put his hands on the piano, and began to play.
Zhuo Lan was startled in less than eight beats just after pressing it!
--This is……!
Zhuo Lan glanced at Lila subconsciously, and if Lila felt something, she looked at him.In the eyes of others, it might be the eye contact between the guests, but Zhuo Lan actually asked questions.
——What's the matter with this song? !
Lila must have guessed his question, but pretended not to see it, and turned back to continue watching the performance.Zhuo Lan squinted his eyes, thinking that this was not possible, so he pressed the communicator on the spot in violation of the video recording principle.
He sent a message in the group where Cecil, Ai Jia, and Hikalesh are all: [Don't listen to this song, turn off the broadcast! 】
These three people are now in the big lounge. There is a projection of the live broadcast in the lounge, and the people in the lounge will hear the live performance in real time!
Cecil quickly replied: [Why? 】
Ai Jia: [Others are not allowed to pass. 】
Hikalesh: [There is a problem with the music, and my ears hurt. 】
"Tsk..." Zhuo Lan was not surprised by this situation at all, or in other words, he sent the message only after guessing this situation.He immediately continued to send letters: [Get out, stop listening!Wear noise canceling headphones and listen to other things! 】
Hikalesh read Zhuo Lan's instructions, put on noise-cancelling headphones and walked out, and just arrived at the door, another message from Zhuo Lan.
[This is the language of the demons! 】
"Demons...?" Hikalesh looked at the stereoscopic projection. In the picture, the young pianist in black was playing with an intoxicated expression.In contrast, the assistants of other artists in the lounge were also staring at the projection, listening mesmerizingly.
Hikalesh narrowed his eyes.
—— Demon Race...
Cecil didn't know what he was thinking, and thought he was caught by the picture, so he hurriedly dragged him along.Zhuo Lan's three attendants left in an instant, and it was less than a minute before Palin's performance started.
The others in the lounge were a little puzzled, but they didn't ask any further, thinking it was something urgent.Besides, Palin performed amazingly today, and they were reluctant to leave!
On this side, Cecil was startled by Zhuo Lan's behavior of sending a message while holding the live camera, so he and Ai Jia took Hikalesh directly to the airport.When he arrived at the place, Hikalesh took off his earphones and moved his pointed ears to confirm that the airy, open place must be all right.
"I'll call our spaceship here first." Cecil also took off his earphones beside him, and while operating the communicator, he murmured, "Why hasn't Zhuo Lan come out..."
After he called the spaceship, he was planning to send a message in the group. When he opened the group, he found that Hikalesh had already sent: [Why don't you come out? 】
Zhuo Lan replied: [I'll check the situation, you stay away first, don't listen to anything Palin said! 】
Hikalesh: [You should come out too! 】
Before Zhuo Lan had time to return, she heard Lila next to her say in a low voice: "Repost? This is the show."
Zhuo Lan turned off the communicator, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Playing demon music on the show, what exactly do you want to do?"
"It has nothing to do with me." Lila leaned on the armrest on Zhuo Lan's side, and said casually, "I also had a little accident."
"Accident?" Zhuo Lan raised his eyebrows, "The monster's aura on his body rose sharply, and his vitality plummeted. Don't you know? Another monster is spinning around you, and you are completely indulgent. I don't know that the demon god's temper has become so alright."
Lila chuckled lightly, and said meaningfully: "You are really interesting... I didn't know that you are so sharp-tongued."
"Thank you. No matter how interesting I am, I'm not as interesting as your demons." Zhuo Lan narrowed his eyes, "The music of the demons always contains the language of the demons. Only the demons themselves can escape. Other races will hear it. If he is bewitched, his performance will be devoured for his life. In terms of human vitality, even if he only plays for less than 10 minutes at a time, he can't do it ten times."
The Kindred looked at Perrin on the stage.The feeling of oppression from that direction made the blood of this fourth-generation blood boil, and the fighting spirit and alarm bells rolled back and forth in his mind.
For a moment, he seemed to see a tall shadow standing in the dark corner of the stage.The shadow was getting bigger and thicker, gradually covering the entire stage as if it was alive, and climbed up to the position of the guests.It was at Zhuo Lan's feet, behind his back, and in all directions.It blocks the noise of the outside world, only letting in the sound of the wind, and the rumbling echoes are like rolling thunder in the air.
It was like the sound that the blood race heard every boring day when standing in the empty monster fortress.
The vampire even felt that Arsha was looking at him.Right now, right behind him, his fingers are about to touch him!
Zhuo Lan suddenly turned around.
- Only the staff, no one else.The blood race's eyes swept over everyone, everyone was immersed in the music, and there was no Arsha.
"Tsk..." Zhuo Lan closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.
——Hasn’t heard the music of the demons for a long time...
——Even this level can make me dizzy.
——If this guy knew about this in the past, he would definitely use more annoying music to confuse me...
Zhuo Lan tried his best to recall those demon songs that made him almost completely controlled. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Palin's level was no more than that, so he completely woke up.
Lila squinted at him: "Oh, you actually broke free."
"That's it." Zhuo Lan said, "It was just a mistake just now, and occasionally underestimated the enemy."
Lila smiled silently.
— Was it a mistake?
——At that moment, someone came out to "see" you in person.
——Although he didn't take it too seriously, you were able to break free on your own initiative... It seems that you really have supernatural power attached to you.
Thinking of this, Lila couldn't help feeling someone's gaze: a sought-after little thing.
"He told me that today he prepared with all his might..."
Zhuo Lan returned to normal, and could look at Palin's performance normally: "This is really... desperate."
Lila sneered: "Signed a contract with the demons, didn't you die long ago? It's not just today."
Zhuo Lan glanced at her: "After the show is broadcast, more people will be bewitched, thereby strengthening the strength of your demon clan—is that what you plan to do?"
"Relax, dear." Lila smiled. "It's just a piano piece."
"This is the whisper of the devil." Zhuo Lan said, "After all these years, I still feel very sick."
Lila wasn't angry, since she wasn't playing the piano anyway: "But look, everyone is fascinated by it."
"Ha." Zhuo Lan mocked, "Just play like this. Although people are still easy to be tempted, the world today is not what it used to be."
Lila smiled lowly: "You've made us so evil, but aren't you still fine? You're not affected either."
Zhuo Lan said indifferently: "Because I have heard more terrifying... Now this thing can only be a poor imitation to me."
"You actually called his performance 'something more terrifying', I haven't even heard it..." Lila muttered silently, and said again, "But you're right, this human being's level is very low On the one hand, because he is a human being, he cannot bear more power; on the other hand, he is indeed not a genius, and cannot sense invisible power. If he can only be dragged by power, he will not be able to exert more strength .”
"Then it's better not to perform well." Zhuo Lan said, "It's so ugly if you don't perform well. If you perform well, I will be so disgusted that I will rush out of the door."
As soon as the words fell, Perrin's performance ended.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the audience was silent.In order not to stand out so much, Zhuo Lan kept her mouth shut and said nothing.
Suddenly, a judge took the lead in applauding, followed by everyone applauding and cheering.Even the on-site staff and the assistants in the lounge couldn't help admiring loudly.Sudial even stood up to applaud Palin, seemingly admiring his performance.
Zhuo Lan applauded lazily, and said, "This Palin is quite likable, first you, then You Zhihe and Chen Guang, and now Sudial..."
Lila smiled lowly: "He used to be your teammate too."
"Forget it, those who are friends with him are not the same as me, rounding up means that he and I are not the same way."
"It sounds like you see me as an enemy too."
"Not friends anyway."
