The day before the round of 16 opens.

He Xiao quietly returned to Paris.

Charles de Gaulle Airport is obviously not as dangerous as Hongqiao Airport, with paparazzi trailing everywhere, and when He Xiao landed, there was no more recognition of him.

All three were wearing masks and fully armed, and they followed the flow of people back to the hotel.

He Xiao started jet lag the day before he left, so he was quite comfortable after returning to Paris, but to be on the safe side, he still slept to face tomorrow's game in the most perfect condition.

When he woke up, it was already late at night, He Xiao had a supper, and he didn't feel sleepy, so he had to put on headphones, listen to the piano music in the black mobile phone, and slowly stay up until dawn.

There are only 32 players left in the Isabella Cup, and after tomorrow, only 16 will remain, and the elimination rate of a full half makes the competition extremely dangerous.

Everyone is seriously preparing for the war and has come up with their own killer ideas.

After all, the game of 800 people has now reached the top 32 positions, and then it will be the top 16 in a trembling way, and no one is willing to be out at this time.

The whole of Paris, unconsciously, was permeated by an atmosphere of tension.

Early the next morning.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the streets and alleys returned to their former life.

The crowds are still surging, unabated, and discussions about the Isabella Piano Competition can be seen everywhere.

Now that the tournament has entered the white-hot stage, all the journalists and media are paying close attention, and the local newspapers in Paris have been slaughtered by the content of the Isabella Cup for nearly a week, and relevant reports can be seen every day.

A long cordon had already been set up in front of the Paris Opera House, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd, and the long yellow line became precarious, and if it weren't for the dozens of guards standing nearby to stop it, the contestants who entered the stadium would have been drowned out by the fanatical fans.

Listening to the noise outside, He Xiao, who was sitting in the car, took a deep breath, then put the red-faced mask in his hand on his face, opened the car door and walked like an entrance.

"Red face!"

"Red face!"

"Red face!"

Seeing He Xiao appear, the enthusiastic cries immediately hit like a mountain of seas, wave after wave, shaking people's ears.

There is no doubt that the most anticipated player is none other than the red-faced, and the only one who can compete with him is the unicorn who is tied for first place.

But the unicorn hadn't arrived at the scene yet, so the red-faced cries overshadowed everyone.

The corners of He Xiao's mouth under the mask lifted an upward arc, waved his hand at everyone, and then walked into the arena.

"Redface, I'll outdo you. ”

After entering the spacious hall on the first floor, a thick unfamiliar male voice suddenly came into He Xiao's ears, he subconsciously turned around, and saw the panda standing behind him, with a black and white hood on his head, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and his eyes were a little like a smile.

He Xiao didn't speak, but his eyes were staring at the panda, as if he wanted to see through something.

The panda was not afraid at all, so he calmly looked at He Xiao.

Have you made sure that I've met the right person?

After this staring lasted for five seconds, He Xiao shook the goosebumps on his body, and turned around and left the hall on the first floor first.

The panda silently followed behind him without saying a word, and also walked into the venue.

……

……

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The competition has officially begun.

Dozens of cameras shot around the stage in various directions, and an aerial camera gave a panoramic shot.

Under the bright incandescent light, the host Cami and dozens of judges appeared on the stage.

"Welcome to the Isabella International Piano Competition, I am your old friend Cammy, without further ado, let's enter today's top 32 to top 16 competition!"

As soon as it started, the event was in a high-energy state.

The audience applauded thunderously.

"Let's take a look at how the system matches today. ”

Cami turned around and let the big screen behind him see rows of names and avatars listed above.

And with the fairness of this group of battle lists, the thirty-two players on the scene also held their breath and looked nervously ahead.

He Xiao's gaze scanned up and down, and finally found his location.

He was the fifth player to appear and play against him, codenamed "Rakshasa".

Rakshasa is an evil ghost in Buddhism who specializes in eating human flesh.

I have to say that He Xiao's opponent's code name is very fierce, just from the words, there is a bad breath in the face.

He Xiao recalled for a moment, and gradually suddenly.

In the round of sixty-four, this rakshasa was very eye-catching, and it seemed that he scored a high score of ninety, while his opponent only had eighty-three points, which can be said to be directly exploded.

Rakshasa is ranked 10th on the latest official website, because the demon mask is full of evil energy, which makes it look very individual, and thus has a high popularity on the entire Internet.

Can be considered an opponent, but not very strong.

As long as he doesn't run into unicorns, pandas, and clowns, He Xiao still has no worries.

On the other side of the stage, the game has already begun.

It seems that there are 7 intentions in the dark, and the first one to appear is still the owl, which makes him quite helpless, but he can only be forced to accept it.

The opponent of the owl in this round is not very strong, and it belongs to the existence of a crane tail car in the official website ranking, so the ending of the game is clear at a glance.

The face under the owl mask smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, but many of the contestants were nervous.

The soft persimmon pinched one less one, and the few weak ones in the bottom were all challenged, and their chances of ranking up to the great god were also higher.

The game went on slowly.

Until He Xiao appeared, the atmosphere of the scene reached a peak.

Red Face VS Rakshasa!

These two are both top 10 fierce men, needless to say, the red face needless to say, the last PK match amazed the audience with a song "Croatian Rhapsody", and although the Rakshasa performance was not as amazing as the red face, it also got a high score of 90 points and entered the top 10 rankings.

So this game is still very interesting.

He Xiao stood up from the audience, his red face was not angry, and not far behind him, the Rakshasa player also got up, the cyan demon mask was more or less inconsistent with his identity as a pianist, and he looked very fierce.

The two walked to the stage, and the eyes of the ten judges instantly fell on them.

Rakshasa belongs to Buddhist characters and is not well-known abroad, if it weren't for the code name "Rakshasa" written on his badge, it is estimated that the judges would not know what kind of character this is, and will only be regarded as an ordinary grimace mask.

"Welcome back to the stage again, please let me say again, your masks are cool!" Cami stood in the center of the stage, one hand in his pocket, and presided, "So, let's get into the game, the first to appear is the Rakshasa player!"

After the sound fell, Rakshasa stepped out, his tall body sitting in front of the piano.

The black classical piano and the green ghost mask glowing with cold light form a strong sense of contrast, which is very weird.
