Chapter 282 A Distant Dream
Holding Odney's hand, Tilan followed her step by step towards the stage.
The road was not long. The lights in the concert hall were dim, and the girl could still see clearly, but her attention was not here. The shaking along the way, the surprised and expectant eyes of the people around her, and the stage illuminated by the lights not far away seemed to make her enter a distant dream.
She didn't know why she had such a hazy and trance-like feeling, as if what happened tonight had a familiar and strange sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen it in a dream before. When she held the microphone, a feeling and thought that lingered in the depths of her heart slowly rose.
[If you are a singer, then go and tell everything.] Such a motto emerged in her mind.
——————
In the concert hall, at first everyone was attracted by the name of "White Swan" Odney, but soon they noticed the black-haired girl next to her who was no less beautiful.
No one present knew the identity of this girl, and everyone was secretly guessing in their hearts. At this time, Odney and Tilan also walked onto the stage.
"I'm surprised that you all found me tonight, but now that it's time, it's not appropriate to refuse. Let me and my friends give you the last performance of the night."
Odney said briefly on the stage. Soon after, other members of the company also arrived. After all, they were not far away, just a few floors above.
The lights gradually dimmed, and then the picture began to be projected behind the stage curtain. The rough and spotted picture quality added a sense of age to the picture, and the memory of ancient times was slowly awakened.
Then the soothing music beat gradually sounded, and Odney's clear voice also sounded in this dim hall.
The narrative song depicting the dark fairy tale, the twin princesses in the mirror, the ancient and magical story, one scene after another was unveiled...
When the story entered the next paragraph, Odney, who was shrouded in lights on the stage, disappeared into the shadows, and then another girl slowly appeared.
She had long black hair and skin as white as snow. Her slender fingers brushed across the guitar strings. Her voice was slightly lazy and charming, and then her slightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a touching blue.
Her sight turned slightly, as if she had seen everyone present, and as if she had penetrated everyone and looked at the scenery in the distance.
The picture on the curtain turned, and the scenes in the story were performed one after another, and the two singers on the stage also sang alternately, bringing everyone's mind into the mysterious and addictive fairy tale world.
After a long time, the song ended, the drum sound gradually stopped, and the lights on the stage went out completely, and everyone slowly woke up.
Applause and cheers resounded throughout the venue. Some people whistled, some shouted the name of the singer on the stage, and some asked around for the name of the girl with long black hair, and so on.
Just when everyone thought that the performance tonight was completely over, the bass drum sounded again, and the gem lamp on the ceiling turned again. The light beams of light purple and blue staggered back and forth, illuminating the dim concert hall.
The concert hall fell silent again, and everyone held their breath silently, listening to the clear drum beats and the guitar strings that seemed to be plucked by their ears.
The dark environment made people abandon visual information interference, but the music in the dim environment was so clear, slowly entering everyone's hearts with a familiar and unfamiliar freshness.
This is a song with the same melody as before, but the style is more modern, as if an ancient fairy tale has gone through time and slowly entered reality.
The singer has also changed from two to only one.
The same song, with different lyrics and atmosphere, brings people completely different feelings. If the former is a dreamy and beautiful fairy tale, like a colorful picture book read in childhood, then this one is like a sad and decadent urban legend. The story in it happens around you and me, but it gives people such a distant and indifferent feeling.
"You've found a piece of me/You have already found me." 』
『Hidden behind the monitor beyond/The fragments hidden far behind the screen』
『Saw the worth in me I could never see/I realized the value of myself that I had never experienced』
『Polished my body/Polished my body』
『Let all my bitterness melt into candy/Let all my bitterness melt into candy/
Unlike the previous songs, this time there is no curtain, only the girl standing on the stage slowly opening her ice-blue eyes, her light cherry lips slightly parted, her voice slightly blurred and lazy, the protagonist of the story is no longer the two swan princesses, but the ancient magic mirror watching everything happen.
『Mirror mirror/Magic mirror magic mirror』
『Just call my name/Just call my name』
『You are my queen/You are my queen/You are my queen/
Commanding reflections of me/Commanding reflections of me/
Clearer clearer/Clearer and clearer/
Convex concave/Convex mirror concave mirror/
Zoom in or out/No matter zoom in or out/
It's always a mystery/The mystery has no solution.
The people on the stage came on stage and bowed again and again, and the story of joy and sorrow continued to be played in front of the magic mirror, and the ballad sung by the cold voice also spanned a long time.
『Mirror mirror/magic mirror』
『The magic words wake me up/magic spell makes me gradually awake』
『Embracing your everything/I will embrace your everything』
Gradually, people escaped from the sadness and joy of the story, and crossed the eternal time. The trivialities and troubles of being a mortal slowly left, leaving only a gradually empty and cold world, and the original song gradually ended here.
The dim concert hall became quiet again, the girl stopped singing, and the stage went dark again.
Darkness enveloped the small concert hall, but no one wanted to break the silence.
Just as everyone was about to get up with sadness and emptiness, a soothing cello sounded slowly.
It had no passion, no persuasion, and no comfort, only endless emptiness and remoteness.
It was a kind of life that was slowly born from the ruins of dark despair after all the beauty and worldly desires were extinguished and shattered, so smart and full.
Just like when people first looked up at the starry sky, the stunning beauty slowly emerged, so slow, yet so grand, and the melody full of life made people cry.
Perhaps this hope born from all the despair and disappointment is what the girl really wants to talk about.
Witness the long darkness of the Fifth Era, countless fragments, cold and cruel destruction, the galaxy land full of withering and death, and then like a cannon shot, the starship carrying the emblem of the Golden Flame Flower galloped across the galaxy, shooting down one huge sun after another, and in the ruins, the world slowly ushered in a new life.
Now another long thousand years have passed, and the once shining names have turned into symbols on dusty pages, and the world has changed, and all the light has gradually dimmed.
In this sad world that is gradually heading towards extinction, everyone will face choices again.
