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

The Peking University Concert Hall is the most artistic building on the entire campus.

The enormous dome, the magnificent crystal chandelier, and the rows of chairs upholstered in red velvet all imbue the place with a palatial solemnity and sanctity.

At this moment, the melodious sound of a piano is echoing in the hall.

At the center of the stage, in front of a black Steinway grand piano, Su Ke'er was completely absorbed in her performance.

Today she wore a white princess dress, her long black hair tied back with a ribbon, revealing her smooth, full forehead and delicate collarbone.

Under the spotlight, her adorable baby face appeared even more fair and captivating, and her slender, fair fingers danced nimbly across the black and white piano keys, like two butterflies fluttering in the air.

She played Debussy's "Clair de Lune," the music as gentle and tranquil as water, transporting all the students present to a peaceful and beautiful dreamlike realm.

The nearly one thousand seats below the stage were all occupied, and all the students were immersed in the beautiful music, their faces filled with delight.

Lin Chen slipped in silently through the side door and sat down in an inconspicuous corner of the last row.

He looked at the dazzling little girl on the stage, and a doting smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

This girl usually seems a bit absent-minded, but when she encounters something she loves, she can really unleash an amazing charm.

However, just as he was preparing to enjoy the concert, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Not right.

It's too quiet.

It wasn't the quiet of a concert hall, but an eerie, chilling silence.

He has unlocked [God-level Hearing (Perfect Pitch)]!

In an instant, the sound of the entire concert hall was broken down into countless basic audio tracks in his ears.

Su Ke'er's piano playing, the students' breathing, the faint sound of airflow from the air conditioner vents, even the buzzing sound of electricity passing through the lighting equipment... everything became incredibly clear.

Then, he "heard" it.

Beneath these normal sounds lies an extremely faint sound with a very low frequency, which is impossible for the average person's ear to detect!

It was a carefully woven, recurring "hypnotic beat" based on the "alpha wave" frequency!

The sound did not originate from the stage, but was discreetly blended into the background noise through the top-of-the-line surround sound system worth millions in the concert hall, perfectly merging with Su Ke'er's beautiful piano playing!

The music is a facade, a lure.

But this low-frequency beat is the real killer move!

It can bypass people's conscious defenses and act directly on the subconscious. Combined with soothing music, it can unconsciously lead people into a deep hypnotic state that is extremely relaxed and easily influenced by psychological suggestion!

Puppet Master!

Chen Yuan!

Lin Chen's eyes instantly turned as cold as knives!

He suddenly looked up and scanned the entire room.

Many students in the front row had begun to have unfocused and dazed eyes, and their once intoxicated expressions had taken on a strange, wooden quality.

They appear to be appreciating the music, but in reality, their consciousness is being gradually eroded by that invisible, demonic sound!

suddenly!

A boy in a plaid shirt sitting in the third row suddenly lost focus, and then, like a puppet being manipulated, slowly pulled a gleaming utility knife from his backpack!

He didn't cut his wrists or hurt his classmates. Instead, he stared intently at the unsuspecting white figure playing the piano on the stage with his empty eyes!

Not just him!

The girl next to him took out a pencil that had been sharpened to an extremely sharp point from her pencil case and held it tightly in her hand!

Further away, a seemingly frail-looking boy pulled a small folding fruit knife out of his pocket!

Their target was the same person—Su Ke'er!

This is Chen Yuan's real trap!

He doesn't need to do it himself; he'll use these deeply hypnotized students to create an accident where "fans turn from love to hate and assassinate someone on the spot!"

Afterwards, these students would have no recollection of what they did, and all the evidence would point to their "spontaneous behavior."

And he, as the mastermind behind the scenes, will forever remain hidden in the shadows, enjoying the painful expression on Lin Chen's face when he loses his beloved!

What a vicious plan!

"court death!"

A raging fire ignited in Lin Chen's chest!

In that critical moment, he didn't even have time to warn anyone!

[God-level Parkour] Activated instantly!

Lin Chen's body shot up from the last row of seats like a cannonball!

He lightly touched the back of the chair in front of him with his toes, and his whole body, like a weightless feather, drew an amazing arc in the air, directly passing over more than a dozen rows of audience members!

"Bang!"

He landed heavily on the central aisle with a thud, but without any pause!

His figure transformed into a blur that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, like a cheetah sprinting through the crowd, rushing toward the stage at a speed that completely defied the laws of physics!

"what!"

"Who is that?!"

This sudden turn of events caused some students in the back row who were not yet fully hypnotized to gasp in surprise.

But Lin Chen couldn't care less about that anymore!

Just as the boy with the knife was about to stand up from his seat and rush towards the stage, Lin Chen had already rushed onto the stage like a whirlwind!

He did not stop the students who were being controlled because he knew that as long as the hypnotic voices continued, more people would be controlled!

This only treats the symptoms, not the root cause!

What he wants to do is to completely destroy this evil ritual from its very source!

"Ke'er, move aside!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded in Su Ke'er's ears.

Su Ke'er was startled by this sudden change, and the music she was playing stopped abruptly.

She looked up blankly and saw a familiar figure rushing towards her with a fierce gust of wind.

"Brother Lin Chen?!"

Lin Chen pulled her away from the piano bench and shielded her behind him, while he himself plopped down in front of the expensive Steinway piano in an extremely domineering manner!

Instead of playing, he suddenly raised his hands and slammed them hard onto the piano keys!

[God-level vocal proficiency]!

[God-level mastery of physics]!

Dual activation!

"clang--!!!!!"

A deafening roar, metallic in tone and incredibly violent, exploded instantly!

That was no longer the sound of a zither, but the clash of swords and the roar of a seasoned general!

Lin Chen's hands blurred into two indistinct afterimages on the piano keys. He wasn't playing any world-famous piece, but a long-lost military melody, existing only in ancient records, imbued with the most intense aura of warfare—

"Breaking the Formation"!

High-pitched!

Exhilarating!

It is full of endless penetrating power and explosive force!

Each note seemed to transform into an invisible sword, containing the most perfect resonant frequency calculated by [god-level physics], precisely and fiercely striking the hypnotic sound hidden in the air!

If Chen Yuan's hypnotic rhythm is a soft and mysterious "decadent sound", then Lin Chen's "Breaking the Formation" is a powerful and masculine "thunderous sound"!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The music grew faster and faster, more and more urgent!

At times, they are like a thousand troops, galloping and charging into battle!

Sometimes they clashed and collided like swords and spears!

It felt as if lightning was dancing on Lin Chen's fingertips!

The air in the entire concert hall seemed to ignite from the violent piano music, trembling violently!

The loudspeakers hidden inside the speakers emitted a hissing sound under the impact of the sound waves containing terrifying physical energy, and then one after another, they exploded!

The hypnotic voice has been completely shattered!

"what!"

The students who had been controlled in the audience suddenly shuddered, jolting awake from their zombie-like state.

The boy holding the utility knife stared blankly at the weapon in his hand, then looked at the stage, his face filled with fear and confusion.

"What...what was I trying to do just now?"

With a clang, he threw the utility knife on the ground, covered his head with his hands, and let out a terrified scream.

As more and more people came to their senses, they saw the sharp weapons that had appeared in their hands without them even realizing it. The entire concert hall was instantly thrown into chaos and panic.

On stage, the ferocious piano music abruptly stopped after playing its last note, which was filled with murderous intent.

Lin Chen slowly stood up and tightly protected Su Ke'er, whose face was pale with fright but who was still hiding behind him with complete trust.

His gaze was icy, passing through the restless crowd and over the magnificent stage.

Finally, the focus was fixed on the inconspicuous window of the sound control room on the second floor of the concert hall.

It was pitch black there.

But Lin Chen knew that Chen Yuan was right there, watching all of this.

A cold, bloodthirsty smile slowly crept onto Lin Chen's lips.

Puppet Master.

You're asking for it!
