You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Lin Chen's leather shoes stopped in front of the sound engineer.

Under the beam of light, the face contorted with pain appeared both ordinary and unfamiliar.

Who would have thought that the deaf-mute school janitor who bowed his head and accepted whatever the students did on campus was actually the mastermind behind this series of shocking murders?

He used the humblest of identities to play the most arrogant murderous symphony.

However, the tide had turned.

Faced with absolute power and wisdom, all his proud "art" is as fragile as a joke.

Just as Lin Chen was about to bend down and finish off this madman.

The man on the ground, who should have been wailing in pain, suddenly froze.

Immediately afterwards, a low, suppressed, eerie laugh, like a broken bellows, came from deep within his throat.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

He did not beg for mercy, nor did he show fear.

He slowly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes, filled with pain, staring intently at Lin Chen.

There was no dejection in his eyes, but rather a burning, morbidly intense fanaticism and excitement!

"You've caught me..."

The sound engineer's voice was hoarse, each word sounding as if squeezed out from between his bones, carrying a chilling pleasure.

"...But you lost."

"You think this is the end?"

"No... this is just a trivial pause."

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of blood-stained teeth, his smile twisted and ferocious.

"My greatest work, my Ninth Symphony, 'Funeral,' which I composed with the utmost care and effort throughout my life, has long since fallen silent, its first and most magnificent note already played!"

"Tonight at 8 PM, the Jiangcheng Grand Theatre, that temple of art, will become my concert hall!"

"Three thousand hypocritical and vulgar souls will form the choir of my dreams, offering me the grandest, most dazzling...soul scream!"

The sound engineer's pupils dilated wildly, and he fell into a state of frenzied excitement, roaring with all his might.

"And the conductor who played their funeral dirge... hahaha... is that little girl you most wanted to protect!"

"Su Ke'er!"

"Her piano playing was the timpani that heralded this grand performance!"

"Her innocent and pure performance will send three thousand audience members, along with herself, into eternal silence, accompanied by the most dazzling firelight!"

"What a wonderful irony! What a perfect artistic loop! Hahahaha!"

The maniacal, inhuman laughter echoed through the empty, deathly silent theater, sending chills down one's spine.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold in that instant.

That wasn't just ordinary cold; it was an absolute zero, enough to freeze the soul, as if it came from the deepest abyss.

He suddenly raised his wrist.

On the watch, the minute and hour hands coldly point to a shocking moment.

7:30 PM!

There are only 30 minutes left until 8 o'clock, the time that madman mentioned!

Su Ke'er!

The girl's innocent and cheerful smiling face flashed through Lin Chen's mind in an instant.

He remembered that Su Qingge had mentioned that tonight was the centennial celebration concert of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music, and Su Ke'er, as the most outstanding young alumnus representative, had been specially invited to perform the final piano solo!

And the location was none other than the Jiangcheng Grand Theatre!

Not only that, in order to cheer on Su Ke'er, Su Qingge had already made an appointment with Jiang Tingxue, and even Ye Qingcheng, who had been extremely busy lately, canceled all her banquets and rushed to the scene!

His women, at this moment, are all trapped in that "concert hall of death" that the madman predicted!

An unprecedented rage, like a volcano dormant for millions of years, erupted in Lin Chen's chest!

At this very moment!

A cold, emotionless mechanical voice echoed wildly in his mind!
