Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Musician in the Shadows
Sana arrived early in the hall where she was playing, and as soon as she entered the hall, she saw the man who would always be the first to appear at her piano conference.
Today, he was the first to arrive at the venue, and he was standing alone in the corner.
As always, the man's eyes were still wrapped in red ribbons. It's just that for some reason, Sana always feels that today's man is a little different from the one who used to wear ribbons. As for the difference, Sana couldn't tell.
Perhaps sensing Suanna's arrival, the man lowered his head and looked at Sauna.
Sana smiled slightly, this person was obviously blind and covered with a red ribbon, but it was as if he could see her.
No longer thinking about the faithful piano fan, Sana came to her seat and sat cross-legged. At the same time, her guqin splendor also appeared in front of her.
Gently plucking the strings, although her splendor and her heart are in one, she still likes to try the sound before playing, which can make her feel at ease.
Gradually, the hall grew more and more crowded, and she stopped auditioning, immersed in plucking the strings.
Standing up, Sana bowed slightly to the crowd before taking a seat in front of Sanhua again.
Her slender hands gently plucked the strings, and a moving song slowly sounded, echoing in every corner of the hall.
While everyone was immersed in Suna's beautiful music, in the dark corners of the War College lay three men in black robes, whose faces were hidden under the hoods of their coats.
"That girl is what you say will requiem?" Among the three, a low, hoarse voice rang out.
"Giggle...... Karthas, that Sona's requiem is therapeutic, and completely contrary to your destructive powers. One of them made a soft female voice.
She seemed to deliberately want to see Karthas's reaction, so she paused and continued: "Hammerstone and I still have important things to do, how should this girl deal with it?" I guess you know better than we do, right? As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared into the shadows along with another man in a black robe.
"Sona?" The remaining black-robed man called out Suona's name softly, his voice carrying a hint of anticipation and a hint of doubt.
……
The soft sound of the piano echoed in this spacious room, and everyone present felt as if they were bathed in a gentle spring breeze, making people reluctant to open their eyes.
The sound of the piano is like spring rain, dripping and moisturizing. The beating notes are like cheerful yellow warblers, singing in the treetops. The sound of the piano begins to be like bamboo shoots after rain, slowly rising up, and like growing tender bamboo shoots, it is coveted for its vigorous vitality.
Sana's slender hands plucked the strings rhythmically, and she didn't care if others liked what she played. She only cares about whether she is playing a moving music with her heart, so she closes her eyes tightly and lets her hands follow her heart's thoughts to find the most authentic and intimate melody.
But what she didn't know was that somewhere in a dark corner of the War College, there was a person who was watching all this closely through a special crystal ball. Suanna's every movement and expression fell into this person's eyes.
"Don't let me down, I hope your requiem can really unravel my tune, or most of this academy will die!" The black-robed man made a ghostly voice, like a soul-seeker in the netherworlds of hell. This man is Karthas who stayed before.
Immediately afterward, with him as the center, a faint ghost voice began to spread to the academy area of the War College, mixed with the plague of death, sweeping through all living creatures.
The deep music of poignant and mournful mourning, spreading the breath of death. The sound of the music rises and falls, and the slight chorus is like a prelude to the undead, and the undead use their weak voices to form a soul-stirring tune.
This death music, full of dark magic, caused all the lower than the demigods in the area of the War College Academy to fall into a deep sleep, except for Sana, who was deliberately left behind.
Although this song did not put the demigods to sleep, its suddenness was something that no one else expected, which made all the demigods in the academy have their ability to move.
Karthas smiled, and the laughter was terrifying and ghostly. He said to himself, "Let me see the difference between your requiem and mine, little girl!" ”
Inside the house, Sana calmly looked at the crowd of people sleeping in front of her, very puzzled. Wasn't Morten caught? How can anyone still fall asleep? She stood up, and Sanhua immediately turned into a ray of light and was retracted into her body.
Sana walked out of the room, closed her eyes, and used her body to sense the anomaly here. Imagining in infinite space, or perhaps experiencing it in real life, she could feel someone playing music.
Suanna, who is already good at using the piano as an offensive weapon, even heard the hypnotic effect and endless killing intent contained in this song. If it is not dispersed in time, the person who plays this song will explode and die.
Sana's brow was furrowed, and her mind quickly thought about whether there was a way to unravel this state.
But no matter what she thought, she couldn't find a solution associated with it. Sana paced back and forth in the doorway, her steps becoming more and more hurried, and it could be seen that she was already anxious.
Why is the rhythm so familiar? I always feel like I've heard it somewhere! Sana listened carefully to the death track, which came from an unknown source, and as time passed, the more she felt that she must know it.
But if she was asked to say the name of the song, she couldn't remember it for a while.
Is it a requiem? No, shouldn't Requiem be a healing instrument? How can it be filled with the smell of killing? Sana had already determined the rhythm of the piece, which was no different from the requiem she was familiar with. But she just couldn't believe why the gentle Requiem under her hand was so tyrannical at this time?
In another corner, Karthhas stared at Sana in the crystal ball, nodded incessantly, laughed like a ghost, and said, "It seems that Elise is right, this girl does know requiem, and I am more and more looking forward to what your requiem will look like, little girl!" ”
Requiem, but I don't know how to crack it. Sana walked into the room, returned to where she had played, and sat cross-legged on the floor, her skirt falling out into a circle like a petal, covering her lower body.
The requiem I play is pregnant with endless vitality, and the requiem that I am playing secretly at this moment contains endless destructive power. As if she had realized something, she stretched out her slender hand in her sleeve and waved it forward, and Sanhua appeared in front of her.
If there is anything that can greatly weaken the power of destruction, or even die, perhaps only Requiem I know can do it. There was a hint of determination in Sona's bright eyes. The collision of requiem and requiem, the mixture of life and death, was too much of a burden for me, who was not yet fully proficient in playing the requiem. Sana was also at a loss at this time.
With a "poof", Sana's right index finger plucked the strings. She didn't rush to play the requiem, but first auditioned it with some simple melodies.
This is one of the things that everyone who knows how to do, in order to prevent the strings from breaking, or if the sound of the piano is not accurate. Sana is worthy of being a master of piano sound, she gently plucks the strings with both hands, and the seemingly chaotic playing does not sound so complicated and obscure, but pleasant to the ear.
Let's get started! Sana whispered in her heart. The gentle chords are magically infused with Suanna, making them not only a piece to be enjoyed, but also a healing sound.
The requiem in Suanna's hand exudes an air of peace and tranquility. For a while, it will be like a gust of breeze, refreshing people's hearts; For a while, it will be like a warm breeze, warming all things.
It was autumn, and the leaves were scattered around the academy. Perhaps it was because of Suanna's superb piano skills, the fallen leaves were blown by the wind, and the sound of the piano drifted into the distance, so that more people could enjoy this gentle music together.
The sound of the piano is sometimes like the drizzle in early spring, falling continuously, revealing mild vitality in the coolness; Sometimes it is like the dew on the lotus leaf in midsummer, which is crystal tiny, but it makes the lotus moist and fragrant; Sometimes like the maple forest in the beginning of autumn, the sound of rustling is endless; Sometimes like the winter plum under the cold Ling, standing proudly under the biting cold wind.
The four types of life extend out and transform into thousands of worlds, giving birth to infinite possibilities and interpreting the meaning of life – this is Suanna's requiem.
The sound of the piano gradually overshadowed the music of Calthus, until the breath of death completely dissipated through the academy.
The people in the academy gradually woke up from their sleep, and the demigods regained their ability to act. In the room where Sana was, everyone looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing what had just happened.
Seeing that Sona was still playing the piano music, everyone had an explanation in their hearts. Perhaps it was because of the skill of the piano that they had just been deeply immersed in the rhythm and only now came to their senses.
At this moment, although Sana was still playing the piano, a picture appeared in her mind that made her heart palpitate.
A fiery red-haired figure dressed in pitch-black and playing a dark melody. The figure's face was blurred and impossible to see. But the piano in front of the man was very similar to hers, except that the color was different from hers.
In the dark corner, Karthas calmly watched it all. He muttered to himself, "Requiem Life, Requiem Annihilation, Requiem is really divided into two movements, maybe soon...... Sana...... You'll join us! ”
