Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 92 The Last Campus Singer Competition

"You want me to... not participate in the competition?"

"No wonder the school changed the organizing committee temporarily. Even those of us who were originally helping with the preparations for the event were 'dismissed'..."

Glancing around at the strong and serious-looking "workers" moving equipment in the gymnasium, Horie Tsubasa asked in a low voice: "Xia-kun, did you encounter any special situation?"

"Squad leader, you are indeed smart and perceptive. Nothing can be hidden from you."

"In fact, I once encountered a religious scam when I was shooting commercials part-time. Fortunately, I was rescued by the police in time."

"But now, that group of dangerous people has set their sights on me again, and the police believe they may attack me during the competition."

"Although there are plainclothes police officers on duty among the organizing committee staff, safety cannot be guaranteed 100%, so..."

Xia Fan organized his words, trying to explain the situation slowly in terms that the other party could understand.

Since he was being targeted, even if those "supernatural dangerous elements" would not commit crimes in public on the stage, Horie Tsubasa, who was competing in the same group, was still at certain risk.

After discussion, Section 9 agreed that he could reveal some information "within the scope of common sense". If Horie Tsubasa could be persuaded to withdraw, Xia Fan could participate in the individual competition alone.

"In that case, I will definitely participate."

"As a partner, it would be unnatural for me to withdraw from the competition at the last minute."

Before Xia Fan could finish his words, Horie Tsubasa gently pulled on his sleeve.

"Besides, I have already made an agreement with my father that I can do whatever I want during my freshman year..."

Her face flushed slightly, and she looked at Xia Fan tenderly, speaking word by word.

"The condition is that, in the second semester of my sophomore year, unless there is a special reason, I will go to the Bern Conservatory of Music in Switzerland as an exchange student."

"So, this may be my first and last time participating in a campus singing competition."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with a plea that was irresistible.

"Going to a top music hall as an exchange student? You are worthy of being the class leader. You can stick with the original plan, but you have to be alert..."

Knowing that he couldn't convince the other party, Xia Fan sighed.

Although Lesson 9 was confident in the security and suggested maintaining the original plan to participate in the competition, he could not leave his partner in the dark.

"Don't worry, I'm very smart. By the way, how have you considered the performance content of the competition?"

"Based on the last practice, I chose a new song..."

Horie Tsubasa took out a notebook from his backpack and started discussing the competition seriously, completely ignoring the "danger" Xia Fan mentioned.

"As for the music, you decide..."

Xia Fan walked to a corner of the venue where musical instruments and equipment were piled up.

He pulled back the white cloth, revealing an electronic keyboard that was old-fashioned but looked brand new.

It was the "Tsukosangin Electronic Keyboard" that he had received in the practical teaching building last time.

After being handed over to Lesson 9 for repair, this electronic keyboard not only has a brand new appearance, but also has been equipped with an ultra-long-life battery, the latest storage, sound synthesizer, standard interface and standard chip.

"Leave the accompaniment to me."

As his fingers lightly touched the black and white piano keys, a sense of excitement that surged into Xia Fan's heart.

There is even an urge to keep playing until death.

This sense of impulse may be a dangerous temptation that may lead to madness for ordinary people, but for Xia Fan, who has rich experience in "spiritual communication" and "divine descent", it has no effect.

"Really? Just approaching the edge of the stage, you're already so excited?"

Xia Fan played the piano gently, producing a series of crisp and clever melodies. Although he studied music theory seriously, his playing of piano instruments was only at the level of a junior high school interest class, not to mention the complicated operation of an electronic keyboard that could simulate various tones.

But at this moment, under the induction of the "psychic body", he felt that he had merged with this electronic keyboard and could play any melody he wanted with ease...

"Electronic keyboard? Not bad, it is indeed a very suitable instrument for a music producer."

"It seems that all the worries people had before were unnecessary."

"I'm really looking forward to the performance with Xia Jun."

Hanekawa Tsubasa quietly stared at Xia Fan's back, listening to the melody played by his fingertips from time to time, and did not go forward to disturb him.

……

Thanks to the efficient execution of Lesson 9, the poster for the "Tokyo University of the Arts Campus Singer Contest" was already released that evening.

In the center of the poster, Xia Fan, with eyes like stars and a handsome face, is smiling brightly at the camera, exuding his compelling handsomeness.

Next to him was Horie Tsubasa, holding the microphone and smiling playfully.

At the very bottom, there are slogans such as "Tokyo University of the Arts Campus Singer Competition is about to open", "Please don't hide your voice", "Open to the public, welcome to watch" and so on.

This poster can be seen anywhere it can be legally posted around Tokyo University of the Arts, including bulletin boards in residential areas, security rooms in office buildings, signs in snack streets, and even at the entrances of public toilets.

Downstairs of the Dongyi University dormitory, a burly man was sitting in front of a fried noodle stall, eating with relish.

"Oh? This poster is..."

He inhaled the noodles like a storm, tore down the poster on the ramen stall and examined it carefully.

"This is a campus activity poster posted by the student union... Come to think of it, the guy on the poster is also a frequent customer of our stall. Although he doesn't look strong, he is a strong man who can eat three bowls of fried noodles."

The boss was busy frying noodles, muttering without even looking up.

"Hmph, a strong man? I can kill him in a matter of minutes..."

The man snorted disdainfully, took a picture of the poster with his phone, and then pasted it back in place.

On the poster, below the handsome young man, there were small words marked "Contestant representative: Xia Fan".

"You eat twice as much as he does, so of course you'll be killed in seconds."

"Boss, check out."

"It's six bowls of seafood fried noodles in total, Chenghui, 1,200 yen."

"Turn around."

"Okay, please take care, my guest."

Not wanting to continue chatting with the boss, the man simply paid the bill and left.

His wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, revealing his muscular arms and a pair of red ghost face tattoos.

……

District 11 Campus Singer Competition, Tokyo University of the Arts, audition day.

"Contestants participating in the audition, please take the registration form, wear your ID card, and go through this passage to the backstage to prepare for the competition. Please pay attention to the notice to stop the show."

"The auditorium is open to the public free of charge. You are welcome to watch the game. Please observe public order and maintain the hygiene of the venue..."

Under the guidance of the "security guards" who were dressed in black uniforms, had burly figures and serious expressions, the audition teams and the audience teams were accurately divided and entered the stadium in an orderly manner.
