at the concert

As if the invisible wind is blowing, melodious music is echoing in this spherical theater, making people close their eyes and immerse themselves in it. The melody seems to be plucked by an invisible hand, the violin and harp lead it to a higher pitch, the clarinet and flute set the atmosphere, pushing it to another peak, and it is about to enter the realm of sorrow. Suddenly, the powerful intervention of the percussion instruments brings a new element, and the trumpet and trombone sound in unison, immediately pulling the mood into a fast and elusive rondo.

Those who listened attentively to the music all exhaled a long breath at this moment.

This is the pivotal point for the concert to move from the third movement to the fourth. After a sonata-like liveliness, variation-like lyricism and description, the movement is about to enter its final stage, which is also the most wonderful climactic passage. This was the orchestra's last performance in Tenkyo City, and almost all the audience was attentive and cherished the unique enjoyment of tonight.

However, not everyone enjoys music intently. For example, in a seat in the corner of the backcourt, Xiang Yun just sat in a wandering place, not even bothering to raise her hands, her eyes seemed to have lost her usual aura, just staring at the orchestra playing on the stage from afar, without even focus. She didn't know how to appreciate music in the first place, and it just so happened that this seat was also a cheap position with poor effect, so it just so happened that she was in a daze for more than an hour.

There was an empty seat next to her, and her handbag and other belongings were placed on it, as if she was taking up a seat, but she was not afraid of being coveted by her neighbor. In Tianjing, the concert is only the enjoyment of the upper class after all, no matter how expensive this night is, the attendance rate of the theater is still not high, those who originally bought cheap tickets in this area and want to experience the taste of the concert have secretly changed to a better position in the middle or front during the performance, and at this time there are only a few people who are also absent-minded except for Xiang Yun.

It was only at this moment that an inconspicuous person broke into the area.

"There's no one here, right?"

After asking Xiang Yun, the person sat in a seat next to her, and there happened to be an empty seat in the middle. Xiang Yun glanced at him, this was an inconspicuous young man wearing a hat and a security uniform jacket. It seems that he is the kind of guy who is bored standing guard outside, wants to go inside to rest for a while, and take the opportunity to be lazy.

In this case, most people will take advantage of the situation to put away the things on the chair to prevent being led by others. But Xiang Yun only glanced at his face slightly, and then continued to look at the stage and continued to be in a daze. It's just that the instincts that have been cultivated over the years are still working, and although she is absent-minded, she can still feel the gaze cast from the side.

The security guard sat precariously, ostensibly listening to music, but in fact he was restless, always glancing over here and then. But he didn't show it, and Xiang Yun was not in a hurry to say it, in this rondo-like wave after wave, these two people were like two reefs in the sea, standing still, invisibly competing with each other for patience.

Finally, in a small pause, the little security guard finally couldn't help but turn to this side.

"This sister, it's a bit presumptuous, but I seem to have seen you somewhere."

The little security guard smiled flatteringly and said the most clichΓ©d accosting language. Originally, he seemed to have many other moves to use, but Xiang Yun just turned his head and glanced at him coldly, and his resolute gaze directly rejected all the following routines.

"We've really seen it." She said lightly, "I think you have an impression too." ”

A smile froze on the security guard's face, and a cold glow shone in his narrowed eyes, making the stiff expression look eerie. He originally wanted to understand the other party's mental state through several rounds of temptation before deciding on the next method, but he didn't expect Xiang Yun to ignore this at all, and the first sentence directly exposed his lies, and even messed up a series of plans he had prepared in advance.

"But it's not all for nothing. On the other hand, this may be a sign of her inner impatience and sensitivity. He thought to himself.

Looking at Xiang Yun's unflinching eyes, the man forced himself to relax and slowly let go of the hand that subconsciously held the handle of the knife.

"It seems that Miss Xiang is really as resolute as rumored, and she is not willing to waste a little time." He decided to try again, "but this time you're wrong." Although I was indeed entrusted to contact you, we really haven't seen each other before, let alone have any grievances, Miss Xiang might as well put away her hostility and listen to me first. ”

"This kind of crepe way of speaking is very different from the last time you did."

Xiang Yun sneered, still staring at the young man's eyes. In the dim light of the theater, her eyes finally regained their bright light, shining like a bright light into the shadows hidden by the other party.

"The last time I saw you, you were still a middle-aged man with a mustache." She said, "I have a bit of an impatient personality and like to bluff, but my performance when I fail is full of the style of a general rarely seen among old gamblers, and the last rhetorical question successfully disturbed my mind." I have to say, your character is so successful - so successful that I can't forget it later. ”

The smile on the young man's face had completely disappeared, and he had been replaced by a look of full vigilance. Vaguely, his expression coincided with the last question of the middle-aged man at that time, although his facial features were not at all the same, but they seemed to be printed from a mold.

"Later, I was thinking about how many mistakes I had made, and then I thought of this middle-aged man." Xiang Yun continued, "The whereabouts of my senior brother and I were revealed early in the morning, so I'm afraid that soon after we got on the boat, the people on the boat began to notice us. In addition to attracting Meng Chuanbai, the roulette game also had to lure me in, but before that, someone needed to distract me, let my guard down, and make me think everything was going well. There's nothing better to do than let me win a game on my own terms. That's where the role of the middle-aged man comes in. I have to say, your performance was a success at the time. I had to go through all the details of that game to find the slightest clue that the game had been manipulated. ”

She looked at the young man and smiled lightly: "However, it is precisely because you are so successful that I have to think about it repeatedly. So I memorized every detail of the movements, the rhythm of the speech, and the subtle expressions in my mind. Your disguise was so successful that even your movements changed back to the mode of a young man, but the details that couldn't be changed made me connect you with him immediately. ”

She leaned forward and said a little defiantly, "So you're here to kill me, right?" ”

"Remarkable."

Facing the gesture she displayed, the young man couldn't help but sigh with heartfelt emotion.

His sentence contains two meanings, one is of course for Xiang Yun's analysis, after all, not everyone can do detailed observation, you can find out a bunch of details by memories, and you need to have super image memory and analysis ability, among the strange people he has seen in his life, Xiang Yun can definitely be regarded as a very rare talent.

Another meaning is aimed at Xiang Yun's impeccable posture at this time. On the surface, the two of them were just sitting in their seats, turning sideways to face each other, with a seat of less than a meter and a half between them. This was within the range of attack for both sides, and the young man's hand had even grasped the hilt of the knife again, and it was only a mistake on the part of the other party to stab through it like lightning, killing people in silence.

However, he never found a chance, but faintly had the idea of retreating. Xiang Yun's seemingly casual posture concealed countless means of defense and counterattack, if one blow failed, the minutes that greeted him would be a torrential rain of continuous attacks. And as she narrated, the aura of active attack became stronger and stronger, and the young man even had to be distracted to guard against her sudden attack.

Do you want to distance yourself and use guns to solve the problem, or do you simply defend with all your strength and wait for reinforcements? Many thoughts flashed through the young man's mind for a moment, but in the end, he decided to resort to the most risky method.

"Actually, there is no such life-and-death grudge between us and Miss Xiang, I was just ordered to come over to confirm your emotions." He smiled, "Seeing that Miss Xiang still has the leisure and elegance of appreciating music, we are also a lot more relieved." ”

He pretended to inadvertently sweep the empty seat in the middle: "However, I thought Miss Xiang should be two people......

At this moment, he felt a chill in his back, as if the temperature of the air around him had dropped a few degrees out of thin air. He raised his head, and unsurprisingly met a pair of cold eyes. These two seats were originally bought by Xiao Yongfei together, and he had made it clear from the beginning, and as he expected, once the topic of this person was mentioned, Xiang Yun's calmness disappeared all at once, and was replaced by a bone-chilling, undisguised killing intent.

The young man's back was cold.

"I have another mission besides seeing you." He said, "Mr. Lu wants to ask you if you can ...... if he can solve the crystal skull matter perfectly."

"No, you can't. Get lost. Xiang Yun replied coldly.

"I guessed it too." The young man smiled wryly.

He's ready for a fight. In this state, she may not keep her hand, but it is better to deal with someone who is carried away by anger than a cool-headed. It's just that to his surprise, although Xiang Yun clenched his fists, he didn't attack directly.

"I really hate the feeling of being a decoy and stalling for time." She gritted her teeth, as if speaking to another person, "Hey, my patience has reached the limit, you haven't come out yet, are you late?" ”

The young man's heart sank for no reason. He wanted to look around, but his guarded gaze couldn't take his eyes off Xiang Yun. In his panic, he heard only a familiar voice behind him.

"I'm late, it's obviously just right."

The nightmarish words made the young man uncontrollably turn his head in the direction of the sound. In a pause after the stormy music, he saw Meng Chuanbai step out of the shadows in the corner, and then stand firmly, as if he was one with the evolution of the movement.

As he said, everything was just right.
