Chapter 187

The day before the opening of the round of sixteen.

He Xiao returned to Paris quietly.

Charles de Gaulle Airport is obviously not as dangerous as Hongqiao Airport, with paparazzi trailing everywhere. When He Xiao landed, he was not recognized again.

All three of them were wearing masks, fully armed, and followed the flow of people back to the hotel.

He Xiao started to experience jet lag the day before he left, so he got used to it after returning to Paris, but just to be on the safe side, he still took a nap to prepare for tomorrow's game in perfect condition.

After waking up, it was already late at night, He Xiao ate a supper, and felt no sleepiness at all, so he had to put on earphones, listen to the piano music on the black phone, and slowly stay up until dawn.

There are only 32 contestants left in the Isabella Cup, and after tomorrow, only 16 can remain. The elimination rate is half, making the competition extremely dangerous.

Everyone is seriously preparing for the battle, and they have come up with their trump cards.

After all, the 800-player competition has already reached the top 32, and it will be the top [-] after a while. No one will be reconciled to being out at this time.

Unknowingly, the whole of Paris was filled with a tense atmosphere.

The next morning.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the streets and alleys regained their former vitality.

The crowd was still turbulent, unabated, and discussions about the Isabella Piano Competition could be seen everywhere.

Now that the competition has entered a heated stage, all journalists and media are paying close attention. The local newspapers in Paris have been massacred by the content of the Isabella Cup for nearly a week, and relevant reports can be seen every day.

A long cordon had been erected in front of the Paris Opera House long ago, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the crowd. The long yellow line became precarious. If it wasn't for the dozens of guards standing nearby to block it, the contestants entering the venue would I'm afraid it has long been overwhelmed by fanatical fans.

Listening to the noise outside, He Xiao, who was sitting in the car, took a deep breath, then put the red face mask in his hand on his face, opened the car door and walked towards the entrance.

"Red face!"

"Red face!"

"Red face!"

Seeing He Xiao's appearance, enthusiastic shouts immediately hit like mountains and seas, wave after wave, shaking people's ears.

There is no doubt that the most anticipated player is the red face, and the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him is the unicorn who is tied for the first place.

But the unicorn hadn't arrived on the scene yet, so the red-faced voice overwhelmed everyone.

The corner of He Xiao's mouth under the mask raised an upward arc, waved to everyone, and then walked into the arena.

"Red face, I will surpass you."

After entering the spacious hall on the first floor, a thick and strange male voice suddenly entered He Xiao's ears. He turned around subconsciously, and saw the panda standing behind him with a black and white hood covering his head. A pair of eyes were exposed, and there was something half-smile in his eyes.

He Xiao didn't speak, but stared straight at the panda, as if trying to see through something.

The panda was not afraid at all, and just looked at He Xiao calmly.

Confirmed eyes, I met the right person?

After the stare at each other lasted for five seconds, He Xiao shook the goosebumps on his body, turned around and left the hall on the first floor first.

The panda silently followed behind without saying a word, and also walked into the venue.

……

……

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The game officially begins.

Dozens of cameras shot around the stage in various directions, and an aerial camera gave a panoramic shot.

Under the bright incandescent lights, the host Kami and dozens of judges appeared on stage.

"Welcome everyone to the Isabella International Piano Competition. I am your old friend Kami. Without further ado, let's enter today's round of 32 to the top [-]!"

As soon as the game started, the game entered a high-energy state.

There was thunderous applause.

"Let's see how the system matches today."

Kami turned around and gave way to the big screen behind him, only to see rows of names and avatars listed on it.

And with the fairness of this group's battle list, the 32 players on the scene also held their breath and stared nervously ahead.

He Xiao glanced up and down, and finally found his position.

He was the fifth player to play against him, and his code name was "Raksha".

Rakshasa is an evil spirit in Buddhism who eats human flesh.

It has to be said that He Xiao, the opponent's code name, is very fierce. Just from the words, there is a wave of evil spirit rushing towards his face.

He Xiao recalled it for a while, and gradually realized.

In the round of 64, this Rakshasa was very eye-catching. He seemed to have scored a high score of 83, while his opponent only had [-] points. It can be said that he was directly blown away.

Luo Sha is ranked tenth on the latest official website, because the evil ghost mask is full of evil spirits, which makes it look very individual, and thus has a very high popularity on the entire external network.

Can be regarded as an opponent, but not very strong.

As long as he doesn't run into people like unicorns, pandas, and clowns, He Xiao still has no worries.

On the other side of the stage, the game has already begun.

It seems that there is a 7 intention in the dark, and the first one to appear is still the owl, which makes him quite helpless, but he can only be forced to accept it.

Owl's opponents in this round are not very strong, and they belong to the suspension car in the ranking on the official website, so the outcome of the game is clear at a glance.

The face under the owl mask smiled and heaved a sigh of relief, but many contestants became nervous.

The soft persimmons are squeezed one less, and the last few weak ones are all challenged, and their chances of being ranked as the masters are also higher.

The game progressed slowly.

Until He Xiao appeared on the stage, the atmosphere at the scene reached a peak.

Red face VS Rakshasa!

These two are fierce men in the top ten. Needless to say, the red face, in the last PK match, the audience was amazed by the song "Croatian Rhapsody". A high score of [-]% entered the top ten rankings.

So this game is still very interesting.

He Xiao stood up from the auditorium, his red face was not angry and pretentious, and not far behind him, the Luosha player also stood up, the cyan ghost mask was somewhat inconsistent with his identity as a pianist, it seemed It is very fierce.

The two walked to the stage, and the eyes of the ten judges instantly fell on them.

Luo Sha is a Buddhist figure and is not well-known abroad. If it weren't for the code name "Raksha" written on his badge, the judges probably wouldn't know what kind of character he is, and would just treat it as an ordinary grimace mask.

"Welcome to the two contestants back to the stage again, please let me say again, your masks are cool!" Kami stood in the center of the stage with one hand in his pocket, and the host said: "So, let's enter the competition , the first one to appear is the Rakshasa player!"

After the sound fell, Luo Sha walked out in one step, and his tall body was sitting in front of the piano.

The black classical piano and the blue ghost mask glowing with cold light formed a strong sense of contrast, which was very strange.
