The next evening.

The sunset at dusk is always so lazy, with a hint of blood in the orange and yellow light, rendering half of the sky and fighting in vain against the darkness of the night rising from the other side.

Evening life in Twilight City is as leisurely as ever, with people finishing work entering taverns and drinking on tables, standing on the street staring at the sunset, and walking together to fragrant restaurants.

There was also a group of people who were lucky enough to grab tickets to the concert and were ready to enjoy the listening feast tonight.

Lu Yutian took the ticket and stood in front of the gate of the executive mansion.

Chino chose the performance venue in his mansion, thinking that it was to facilitate the handling and adjustment of the piano.

For a musical artist like him, if an unfamiliar piano is not tuned, there may be inaccurate timbre problems, which will affect the quality of the recital, which is absolutely not allowed.

Other guests came one after another, some of them nobles of grace and luxury, some of them plainly dressed commoners, and even slaves of that kind in rags.

It seems that no matter what world you are in, there is no class for the love of music.

The people of the lower classes were also lucky to encounter the extremely affordable ticket price of 30 Iron Moons.

Lu Yu finished checking the ticket and began to accept the security check.

"Good evening, Onmyoji-sama." The guards recognized Lu Yutian and called a female guard to search him.

This female guard is Niko, she groped in an orderly manner on Lu Yutian, the height difference between the two and the inevitable touching movements during the body search, it is inevitable that people will think about it.

After searching, Niko nodded and said, "There are no dangerous goods, please come in." ”

Lu Yutian and Niko staggered by, and the moment their eyes met, she seemed to see a flash of cold light.

The performance venue was arranged in the banquet hall, which was already crowded and full, and Lu Yutian found his place to sit down according to the serial number on the ticket.

As the last guest takes their seats, the curtain on the bandstand is lifted.

When Lu Yu looked at the stage, she couldn't help but have a question: Where is the piano?

The candles on the stage were bright, but it was very empty, and there was no shadow of a piano.

"Bang." The door to the outside world was shut, and the ballroom was closed like a cage.

"I think someone must have a question – where is the piano?" Under the light of the candle flame, Chino's figure walked out of the darkness and looked at Lu Yutian with a smile, "Do you think so, Miss Onmyoji?" Or should I call you... Visitors from outside the world. ”

Lu Yu leaned into his seat and stared at Chino blankly.

Chino: "Don't look at me, look around you." ”

Lu Yu subconsciously looked around and suddenly found a very terrible thing.

Everyone was looking at her, their eyes cold.

It stands to reason that whether it is a nobleman, a commoner, or a slave, the words "visitors from heaven" will cause riots, after all, it is synonymous with blasphemy and destruction.

But at this time, all the guests just stared at her coldly...

This is by no means the eyes that ordinary people should have...

Soon, Chino announced the answer: "You are the only 'guest' present, and everyone else is the elite of the Twilight City Defenses. ”

Lu Yu swallowed his throat and said in a trembling voice: "I don't understand what you mean..."

Chino looked at her with a smile: "The game is over, do you want to continue the show?" The Daily Chronicle, which you bought yesterday, is a custom edition written just for you. ”

"I said hello to the postboy, and the others bought the newspaper and gave the normal one—there was no news about the recital."

"The one you bought, it has dynamic news specially drawn by the soul magician, only you know about this concert, and you become the only guest."

Lu Yutian couldn't help but be stunned, and his pupils were out of focus.

"What's that look on your face? Look around, everyone else is a group actor who accompanies you in the play, and you are the protagonist of this scene, so-" Chino put his finger to the corner of his lips and raised it up, "Don't be so serious, smile at me~"

Lu Yu's lips kept trembling, and his face turned pale: "I... I don't understand what you're saying... Acting? I've just heard about your musical talent and come to see it. ”

Chino: "But yesterday Lugo asked you if you like music, and you said you don't have the ability to appreciate music. In that case, why should you come to the concert? ”

Lu Yu's eyes wandered, and he didn't know how to answer.

Chino telepathically, and her voice rang in her head, "There's only one reason – you recognize the author of those tracks, and you understand what that means. ”

Lu Yu pointed to his one-clawed golden dragon robe, held up the nameplate, and retorted hoarsely: "I really don't know what you're talking about!" Take a good look at my clothes, and this nameplate, I am an onmyoji of the Far Eastern Dynasty, not a visitor from outside the world! ”

Chino: "That's weird, I found several documents in your room, which recorded my habits, routes in and out of the palace, and a lot of information about recent days, which were obviously used for assassination. How do you explain that? ”

Lu Yutian was completely stunned: "I don't understand what you're talking about, I haven't written anything like that at all..."

Through telepathy, Chino's smile sounded in her mind again: "Of course you didn't write it, because I forged it myself, and I just used it to frame you, I have to make up an excuse for my soldiers~ These are actually small episodes, you don't have to care, you just need to understand one thing - your captain is a fool, dig a pit and jump in, he will hurt you." ”

"Why do I have a voice in my head... I haven't done anything... Nothing has been done! I'm going to see the emissary of the court! Lu Yutian got up in panic and wanted to escape from here.

"Trapped in a Soul Cage!" A deafening sound came from the darkness, Ai Mo floated in the air, and the black fire surging under the five fingers condensed into five substantial giant pillars, roaring down on Lu Yutian's side, trapping her completely inside, without any room to escape or dodge.

Lu Yu didn't have a spell and couldn't cast a yin-yang technique, she tried to break free with her physical body, but as soon as she touched the black fire giant pillar of the soul cage, black smoke rose from the contact surface of her body as if it had been burned, and a painful snort resounded through the concert hall.

Emmer's right hand condenses the power of soul magic, and in his left hand he grasps a heart-rending and screaming slave, and judging from his constantly shriveled body, it is obvious that he has been "sucked out of his soul".

Soul magicians are different from so-called "magicians", in the traditional sense, magicians consume mana, which can be restored with cultivation or time.

But the soul magician consumes the soul, and this consumption is irreversible, and every time the soul is released, it is step by step towards the exhaustion of oil.

Therefore, in order to be able to release soul magic for a long time, the Eric family raises a large number of "soul slaves", and every time a soul magician casts a spell, he will "draw souls" from these soul slaves.

In this way, it is the soul of the soul slave that is consumed, not the body.

After a short time, when the soldiers were all surrounded, Ai Mo took the opportunity to untie the soul cage, and the soul slave under his left hand had his cheeks shriveled and his eyes rolled up, presumably being sucked almost dry.

Chino walked over to the cage and smiled at Emmer, "Thank you." ”

Emo was expressionless, obviously worried: "Let me remind you first. You'd better not make a mistake in judging this matter. Otherwise, if we infringe on the personal freedom of a one-clawed golden dragon, you and I will get into big trouble. ”

Chino looked at Lu Yutian, who was imprisoned by the soldiers, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, I won't make a mistake." Escort her to the dungeon, and I'll interrogate her myself. ”

The soldiers took Lu Yutian to the dungeon, locked him in a prison chair, and then guarded the entrance and exit on the inner and outer three floors to prevent other visitors from outside the world from robbing the prison.

I don't know how long it took, in the sound of Lu Yu's rapid breathing, the black cover on her head was lifted, and after her eyes adjusted to the light, she saw Chino sitting opposite.

Chino: "The others should go out first, and they are not allowed to come in without my order, and they are not allowed to eavesdrop, otherwise they will be executed directly." ”

Lugo wanted to stay and protect Chino's safety, but then he thought about it, with Chino's strength, he would worry about his own safety?

Is it worthy?

Instead of worrying about Chino, it is better to go back and worry about what flowers to buy for Ann.

"Let's go, all out." Lugo pushed a few of the guards outside, slamming the door shut.

There are only two people left in the dungeon.

Lu Yu shouted, "Your Excellency! There must be some misunderstanding here! ”

"Please, the game is over, why do you want to keep pretending?" Chino's fingers danced regularly on the table, and he smiled and said, "Make a deal, you admit your identity, and tell me your plans." In return, I grant you the most comfortable death, you can trust my methods, I am a professional~"
