Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 431 A Farce

A few days later, the monastery band's performance was quite enthusiastic.

The seats with the internal tickets were very close to the front, and Lin Yilin and Hong Yijia had already taken their seats with their specially made glow sticks.

As it turned out, Zheng Fan was right. The security gates at the venue were as if they weren't powered on. Lin Yilin's earlier guesses were all useless, and they entered without any problems.

The performance was nearing its end, and the atmosphere had reached a fever pitch. Even Lin Yilin couldn't help but sway slightly to the rhythm.

Hong Yijia beside her was waving two glow sticks like twin lightsabers. Even though Lin Yilin didn't look directly at them, the words "Mr. Gundam" flashing past her every now and then still made Lin Yilin feel a little uneasy.

She, on the other hand, was much more reserved, appearing somewhat out of place compared to the surrounding atmosphere.

Lin Yilin didn't have any particular feelings about music; she was just like any other person, judging by whether it suited her taste or sounded good. This was also her first time experiencing a live performance.

Being swept up by the atmosphere isn't her style. Although she can appreciate the excellence of the audiovisual aspects, she won't be as superficially enthusiastic as the people around her.

However, the atmosphere wasn't bad.

And Mr. Illusion seemed quite happy.

His contradictory personality—lacking a sense of security and disliking letting too many people know of his existence, yet unable to resist the urge to perform—makes him seem like a child when he can unleash this urge on stage.

Even though Lin Yilin couldn't see Zheng Fan's face through the sheet metal, she could still feel Zheng Fan's pleasure at such a close distance.

This is also why Lin Yilin never felt that she should keep Zheng Fan tied to her.

It wasn't simply because of limitations in strength and status, but because Zheng Fan's new and exciting life in this world couldn't be confined to her immediate surroundings.

The excitement and energy on stage, the outburst of violent impulses, the cool mechanical puppets...

Lin Yilin was unable to satisfy Zheng Fan in every way, so she had no choice but to hand him over to someone else.

That being said...

But she still wouldn't do something like helping Doris wave glow sticks!

After the song ended, Mora chatted casually with the audience as usual, and even did a couple of crosstalk routines with Gao Song. Although Gao Song's best crosstalk partner is actually Tao Zhi, Tao Zhi tends to be rather withdrawn in front of a large audience.

So Mora had to be the one to deliver the sarcastic remarks. Fortunately, having spent so much time with these amazing people, Mora's sarcastic skills were quite impressive.

Just then, someone suddenly jumped up from the audience and landed directly on the stage.

This is a young man wearing a windbreaker and work pants. His hair is a bit messy and shiny under the light. There are some stubbles on his face. He just shaved today, but he obviously doesn't usually shave. He's also impatient and shaves very roughly, which is why there are so many stubbles.

Lin Yilin glanced at the person and quickly made a fairly good judgment about him.

Aside from his leap onto the field, he appears to be an ordinary person, with a status similar to Lu Chongming's earlier appearance, a common sight in Xixi Keke.

However, his expression was different from Lu Chongming's earlier that morning.

When Lu Chongming was at his lowest point and plagued by hallucinations, he always had that feeling of dissatisfaction with the status quo and a strong desire to climb up, a feeling that others didn't understand about his pain and that he wanted to seize the opportunity to make a comeback.

This person, after being suppressed for a long time, seemed to finally find an outlet for their excitement and fervor.

The members of the monastery band remained quite calm upon this person's appearance, while the audience was pleasantly surprised.

Because today's performance has so far lacked the classic "backup dancers" and "fan interaction" segments. As many people thought, after this joint performance, almost no one would dare to make a move on a Monastery band's performance.

Unexpectedly, as the performance drew to a close, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Tao Zhi had already noticed this person. During each performance, he was responsible for keeping a close eye on the audience, and under this intense training environment, Tao Zhi's abilities grew very rapidly.

In fact, it's not difficult to tell the difference; just focus on observing those audience members who are completely unmoved by the atmosphere.

This person clearly wasn't there to watch the performance; from the very beginning, his eyes were fixed intently on the stage.

To be specific, I don't know who they're looking at, but they seem like die-hard fans. A die-hard fan who isn't interested in the music is a physical fan.

Oh, sorry, I'm just a fan of his looks.

If you're a fan of good looks, then you're probably here for Doris... "Mora, come with me!"

ha?
There was an uproar.

There have been instances of fanatical body fetishists trying to kidnap Doris before, but this is the first time someone has tried to kidnap Mora. Admittedly, Mora is also an exceptionally beautiful woman, with blonde hair and blue eyes, resembling a noble lady in a simple, conventional sense. She also has a motherly personality, taking care of all sorts of things in the band, and aside from not being the most pleasant-speaking person, she is full of divine tolerance.

However, when standing on the stage, one's gaze is often more easily drawn to the stunningly beautiful Doris.

In terms of physique enthusiasts, Gao Song has more fans than Mora, because many female fans are into the type of handsome, aloof, and secretly passionate guy.

It's unheard of for someone to come for Mora!
But Mora felt disgusted; she had never thought about such a thing.

"...Get lost." After a moment of silence, Mora answered based on her first impression.

“Unbelievable,” Gao Song added.

"That's really impressive," Tao Zhi exclaimed.

"How about Mora's 'Thorns' next song?" Mr. Gundam, always eager for drama, suggested. The monastery orchestra, aside from a few fixed pieces, could change their repertoire whenever they wanted.

"Thorns" is a song that Doris dedicated to Mora.

Mora glared at Zheng Fan, but didn't object.

"Mora, I fell in love with you the moment I saw your picture online. Come with me, I can give you everything you want, I now possess unstoppable power!" the other person said proudly.

But no one paid him any attention, and Mora's fingers began to dance on the keyboard.

The lights change and the show begins.

"Damn it, don't you dare ignore me!" The man's eyes widened. He knew these people were looking down on him, and he was going to show them his strength!

"Rain! Hear my call!" He raised his hand high, and in an instant, the sky changed color, and fine raindrops fell.

"No way!" Hong Yijia, who was sitting next to Lin Yilin, changed her expression.

Directly changing local weather? This person is really capable.

He has a strong imagination!

How did an ordinary person acquire such incredible abilities?!
She quickly exchanged a glance with Lin Yilin, and the two of them simultaneously thought of their previous speculation.

The people in the monastery band were quite surprised. Their ability to command attention is indeed remarkable, proving that appearances can be deceiving.

But if it rains...

Gao Song's drumbeats were followed by Mora's keyboard.

The man laughed loudly: "Do you see my power? If I want to, I can control the weather, and a downpour can flood this place! With power like mine, I can get anything I want!"

It's only drizzling now; they're probably trying to give us a warning.

Light rain, that's enough...

As the music reached its climax, Gao Song suddenly looked up, his dark eyes reflecting the environment before him.

The drizzle pierced the man's body like needles.

“Manipulating the weather, that’s impressive,” he murmured, his drumsticks remaining firmly in his hand.

In comparison, his ability to "borrow" power from his environment is indeed insignificant.

"Ah!" the man screamed, clutching his body in agony.

The mood of this piece of music is perfectly matched with the light rain, and the man in the rain becomes like a puppet in Gao Song's hands, dancing in pain.

For the audience, this was another high-quality performance.
