No...it seems like no one realizes anything is wrong.
There are four people in the band. In addition to the lead singer, there is also a guitarist, a bassist and a drummer. The spotlight illuminated the temporary stage so brightly that Lin Sanjiu could even see clearly the tattoo on the forehead of the drummer behind him.
Beads of sweat; everyone’s shadow was plastered on the stage floor, including the lead singer’s own.
Only that long black shadow extended all the way up from the stage background board, as wide as two people. It stood quietly between the unaware bassist and drummer, watching high.
Off stage.
There were a lot of people in the crowd, people talking softly, people happy and excited, people drinking and laughing... but no one asked: "Hey? Where did the black shadow on the stage come from?"
"
Don't panic... Lin Sanjiu warned herself.
The black shadow had been floating on the stage for several seconds, and it was still motionless at this time, which showed that one of the assumptions of the gift package was correct: hiding trees in the forest and hiding people among the crowd can best erase their traces.
No matter how powerful Orcius is, if he wants to find eight faces among the mountains and seas of people, he can only look at them one by one - not to mention that they have all restored their disguises at this moment, even if his eyes really follow them
Even if you sweep across the face, you may not be able to catch everyone in the group.
As long as they don't panic, don't get together, don't show their weakness, turn around and run away, they might be able to slip away from Oasis again.
“Thank you everyone for supporting our ‘Spectator’ band,”
While Lin Sanjiu was comforting herself and constantly looking for her partner with the corner of her eye, the lead singer on the stage also spoke up. She was an evolver whose appearance was not beautiful, but her temperament was quite eye-catching; her voice was rich and powerful.
, and with a rustling texture, he raised his voice and said: "We meet again in the Twelve Realms after three years!"
Before he finished speaking, there were screams and whistles from the audience, and many hats and flowers were thrown high into the sky one after another. It seemed that this band was quite famous.
Even in the doomsday of precarity and displacement, there are still people who are trying their best to live a life - the whole band is an evolutionist. I'm afraid there won't be many times when they can get back together to perform, right?
Lin Sanjiu suppressed this thought with great difficulty.
The lead singer adjusted the guitar tone, briefly played a few syllables, and then said into the microphone: "Are you ready?"
Amid the screams and screams from the audience, the huge black shadow on the stage remained silent and seemed to lengthen a little longer.
...Does he also feel that it is difficult to find someone in a sea of people?
Although Orcius has already descended from the gods, he did not come in person. Instead, he only cast a shadow to look for him. Perhaps it was because he did not want his existence to be known - it was not yet time to distribute the vaccine and save the world.
, it is too early for him to establish the impression of a "high-dimensional creature".
It's just that... even just his shadow is enough to make Lin Sanjiu and his party unable to fight back and suffer a lot.
When the music echoed from the surrounding speakers, Lin Sanjiu felt as if the crowd had melted and turned into a piece of hot, flowing lava; even though the night was cold, many people took off their tops.
, with smiles on their faces and glistening sweat, jumping and falling along with the beat of the music, raising their arms and shouting.
In order to be inconspicuous, Lin Sanjiu also raised one arm and punched it into the air a few times; in the other hand, she called out [eBay], hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to use it to contact the gift package.
Who dares to say that communication channels hidden in special items will not be 'heard'? Orcius' magical power was so great that she began to hesitate and hesitate to move forward.
Although this "spectator" band seems to be very popular, not all the people who come to Blackstone Collection are their enthusiastic listeners. There are still people coming and going in the center of Blackstone Collection. Maybe.
For this group of people, the best way to escape is to blend in with the crowd and disperse one by one - as long as they can avoid Oasis for the time being, they will have more opportunities to meet again.
Others must have thought of this idea.
Lin Sanjiu comforted herself in her heart and looked around - the one closest to her was the C road she just walked on; she bent her knees slightly to hide herself in the shadow of the crowd around her.
She calmly took a few steps back. As soon as she left, someone immediately entered the open space and took her place.
She moved very cautiously, for fear of being noticed. Sometimes she would take advantage of someone next to her to pass by and back away when she gave way. Therefore, after the first song was sung, Lin Sanjiu moved halfway to the direction of Route C.
The black shadow on the stage still made no movement, and there was no commotion or movement in the crowd.
No news is the best news, right?
In the brief silence after the song stopped, Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to move. She stood in the crowded crowd and looked at the female lead singer on the stage. After she hung up the microphone, she didn't know why she kept silent.
Standing in front of the microphone, she didn't speak or move for a few seconds - even the guitarist on the side glanced at her, obviously like the audience in the audience, they were vaguely confused.
"Before I went on stage today, some enthusiastic fans gave me a lot of flowers," the lead singer finally spoke again. After she finished speaking, she picked up a large bouquet of flowers from the side of the stage and continued to speak into the microphone: "I hope to be able to communicate with you.
Everyone shares my joy of coming back and such beautiful flowers. Do you agree?"
What is this for?
When Lin Sanjiu was wondering, he saw the female lead singer covering the microphone and whispering something to the musicians, as if she was instructing the next song title - the guitarist was slightly startled, but quickly nodded,
The drummer in the back beat the drums at once.
"The next song is, 'My People Walking This World'!"
The expected screams and cheers did come out, but they were a little sparse and messy, and the applause was half a beat too slow. In the people's breath and the night wind, Lin Sanjiu caught a few words - "Huh?"
"Is it their new song?" "What did she say about my people?"
However, the doubts brought about by the new song were almost immediately conquered by the lead singer's powerful singing.
"In the vast sea of people, I can only touch you..."
As she sang loudly and brightly, the lead singer suddenly threw the large bouquet of flowers into the sky. With a snap of her fingers, it was scattered and exploded in the sky - the flowers and petals were flying like rain.
, fluttering and falling towards the crowd. This time, the excited screams were almost overwhelming, and countless hands were stretching upwards, trying to catch a falling petal.
It was at this moment that Lin Sanjiu saw the guitarist frowning on the stage and glanced at the lead singer.
He then turned his head again and exchanged puzzled looks with the drummer and bassist who also had doubtful expressions on their faces, as if the song the lead singer was singing was completely unfamiliar to them.
However, the music they played complemented the lead singer's singing, indicating that this was definitely not a piece they had not practiced before——
When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she almost felt as if she had been poured a basin of ice water on her pocket, and her whole body suddenly became cold. She looked up quickly and saw that in the colorful night, many flowers and leaves had fallen.
on people's hands and bodies; four or five people away from her, a young man grabbed a still intact white rose, excitedly raised it high, and shouted: "I
Love you!"
"Be my hands and my eyes in the vast sea of people..."
Lin Sanjiu desperately suppressed her urge to run away, staring at the young man who was looking at the stage longingly and no longer screaming, and took two steps back as much as possible - she was anxious this time, and she still
The person next to me complained: "What are you doing? Where are you going?"
If the music is right, then the problem is naturally the lyrics.
Not only have the audience never heard the title of this song, but it seems that the musicians have never heard the lyrics spoken by the lead singer - and the lyrics express the same meaning repeatedly.
Let me meet you, be my person, become my eyes.
The man holding a white rose slowly lowered his hand and looked back at a girl next to him. He didn't say anything. When the next lyrics came out, he tapped the girl's shoulder with it and handed it to her.
That girl.
Pass me out and let this vast sea of people become you and me.
Lin Sanjiu realized that it might be too late.
The opportunity to slip away quietly from the crowd is gone - no, it may never have really existed.
At this moment, the crowds around her were crowded and steaming. Two or three minutes ago, they were the most reliable barrier and bunker between her group and Oasis, giving her a real sense of security; but now
, they fell into silence one after another.
The white rose passed silently from one hand to the next. Wherever it passed, a curtain of silence unfolded.
The only thing that may be a consolation is that the direction of the white rose is not towards Lin Sanjiu.
The lead singer also seemed to be confused as to why after he finished singing a song, the audience was so quiet and there was almost no response.
"I hope everyone likes the song just now. If you don't like it, we have another one." She made a joke, and scattered laughter broke out in the crowd.
The lead singer seemed a little at a loss and looked back at the other musicians. The guitarist shrugged his shoulders and the bassist said something. The lead singer shook his head vigorously first, as if denying something, and then nodded again.
The third song seems to be a decision made by the band together.
Lin Sanjiu knew that she had no time - not only her, but her companions who also walked into the Black Stone Collection Center hoping to "hide the trees in the forest" were now trapped in this large group of quicksand-like people.
, unable to escape.
What to do? What will Orcius do next?
The prelude of the music passed quickly. The lead singer stepped on the beat, played the guitar, and spoke into the microphone with an expression that was almost avenging his shame.
"I have seen through your disguise," she sang, "your ever-changing, each different face...can no longer serve as a barrier for you to hide..."
With a look of astonishment on his face, the guitarist almost played a wrong note.
Beside Lin Sanjiu, the crowd began to slowly turn their heads and looked at each face one by one.
I forgot who I told before that my writing method is to write myself into a dead end. Even I don’t know how to solve this dead end, so there are two consequences: one is to force myself to sublimate.
, the dog jumped over the wall and found a solution; the other one gave up.
My most impressive dead-end experience was in the greenhouse at Harry's farm. There were many more times later, but that one left the deepest impression. I don't mean anything by saying this, but I hope everyone will be mentally prepared if I can't sublimate in the future.
