Stacking 32/128.

3 seconds.

Stacking 97/128——

The signal is cut off and the hacking stops.

The red light of the access control system flashed again, and the door made a slight "buzzing" sound and returned to normal.

The sound is too soft.

In front, a worker was playing with his cell phone without even raising his head.

"(It's definitely too late.)"

Miao Meng took his hand away from his temple and looked at Xiangzi with a little dissatisfaction.

"(Can you tell me now? You...)"

at this time.

beep.

"...!?"

There was a sound of a card swiping from the access control of the west gate.

The worker who was playing with his cell phone raised his head in panic.

But it was too late.

The door was pushed open and the puzzled inspector poked his head in, looking around hesitantly.

Then, he was discovered.

"——Hey! You're being lazy here!"

"Alas!"

"What a lazy dog! Day after day - what's your work number!"

"No, no, I'm just delivering something..."

"Delivering something? You've already finished it in here! Come out!"

The worker was caught by the inspectors. He jumped down from the construction waste disposal box in panic and ran to the door in two steps.

The workers followed the inspectors and left.

The door closed again and locked with a click.

Silence returned to the staff passage.

This time, there really was no one left.

"..."

Miao Meng looked at Xiangzi.

"At 16:36, the patrol officer happened to pass the outside of the employee passage from the west side."

Xiangzi said this and stood up.

"let's go."

"As I recall, your operating system is terrible." Miao Meng didn't get up immediately. She continued to look at Xiangzi. "The memory should not be enough for real-time calculations... Did you memorize the time points of the entire inspection list?"

Xiangzi nodded.

"...You're trying too hard."

Facing Miao Meng's sigh, Xiangzi still said nothing. She walked towards the performance hall first.

Won't you say a few words?

"What have you ever quit, man?"

Miao Meng shrugged his shoulders and followed Xiangzi.

……

Click.

The door of the performance hall was unlocked.

At the same time, the surveillance camera facing the performance hall flashed and began to play pre-cut fake images.

"Done~"

The door was pushed open gently. A large space with gold and brown as the theme colors appeared in front of Xiangzi and Miaomeng.

Two levels of auditorium surround the huge main stage.

There is a large object wrapped in a grey tarp on the main stage. This must be the large hybrid electric grand piano mentioned in the mission.

"This is my first time in a concert hall."

Miao Meng chuckled at the scene in front of him.

"Go to the auditorium on the second floor and get ready." Xiangzi stayed at the door and said to Miao Meng.

Xiangzi didn't go in. She was a performer, and she would enter through the door to perform the "musical" in a moment.

"Okay~ Don't rush me."

Miao Meng climbed over the railing of the auditorium and entered the auditorium. She quickly came to the second floor and found a position just below the surveillance camera - so that she could shoot this video as a "pseudo surveillance" perspective - and then took out a bunch of instruments from the big bag on her back.

Additional dimmer, additional fill light, audio recording device, personnel positioning and particle beautification device.

She placed the items in their corresponding positions one by one, arranged them, adjusted them with a level, and then plugged them into various ports and connected them to her laptop.

That laptop is in turn connected to her own brain-computer interface.

Finally, Miao Meng put on her favorite tungsten steel Super Dream camera headband, lifted her short hair, and connected the tail of the headband to the radial wheel plate below the brain-computer interface.

Behind the ear, the light-converting radiometer vibrated, indicating that the entire system had started to work.

Color grading, noise reduction, director mode...

"Okay."

录制时间从00：00：00走向00：00：01。

Meowmeng sent a message to [Oblivionis] on the communication.

After a while.

…squeak…

The door of the performance hall was slowly pushed open a small gap.

A few more seconds passed.

The door was tentatively pushed open.

A thin figure appeared behind the door cautiously and lightly.

Black hoodie, black baseball cap, black shorts.

Dirty and dusty.

Xiangzi walked into the concert hall in exactly the same manner as the day he first met Miao Meng.

Chapter 29 Moonlight Sonata

“(Ohhhh~ It’s started, it’s started.)”

Through the thin green window of the panoramic camera, Miao Meng looked at Xiangzi below.

With his head and face completely blocked, Xiangzi looked around vigilantly, then walked quickly into the venue.

She came to the stage and carefully pulled the waterproof cloth on the piano with her hand.

Crash.

The tarp slid off.

A beautiful Yamaha YU9X-PO large hybrid-electric grand piano with a warm and lustrous surface quietly appeared in the venue.

Xiangzi had his back to the camera, so the camera didn't capture Xiangzi's face.

But even so, one could see her shock and joy from her tiny body movements.

“(This guy acted pretty well.)”

Behind the camera, Meow Dreams.

"(He said he had composed music before... Could he have also acted in a play?)"

In front, Xiangzi touched the piano hesitantly.

Touched it again.

She slowly stroked the piano body, paused for a moment, and gently opened the cover of the keys.

His fingertips touched the piano keys and then retracted.

Xiangzi pulled the piano stool behind him and sat down.

Miao Meng's electronic scanning camera showed that Xiangzi's brain computer was not functioning.

“(Auxiliary plug-ins and knowledge chips are really useless.)”

At first, Miao Meng thought that Xiangzi's "I can play the piano" was a way of improving his status, just like a singer who only half-opens the microphone saying that he "can sing".

But now it seems that she really can play it.

“(These days, it’s rare to find someone who can play the piano.)”

Just as Miao Meng was thinking this, Xiangzi raised his hand.

thump.

The first note fell.

……

At first, I was hesitant and tentative.

A slightly slow glissando.

A few high notes struck out awkwardly.

Quietly pressed bass.

Then, the music progressed.

It's a little faster and smoother.
