Chapter 283. Harmony (2)

Meanwhile, on the Ping An Forum's trending topics list, several trending searches are rapidly climbing:
#Famous charity anchor Sang Xiaoxiao makes a comeback for her friend#
#Sang Xiaoxiao's popularity remains high after her premiere, with over 500,000 viewers watching in just ten minutes#
#Large influx of people into the live streaming section#
On the other side, by the Tingyutan Lake.

The sound of rain, which usually begins precisely every few minutes, suddenly fell silent for a long time. Beneath the milky white lake water, streaks of golden light suddenly shone, illuminating the entire lakebed as if it were daytime.

Several mercenaries who had jumped into the lake earlier suddenly surfaced, their hair sticky and wet to their foreheads and cheeks. Without even wiping their faces, they shouted hoarsely at the Rose Group soldiers on the shore:
"Help! There's a monster at the bottom of the lake! A powerful expert is fighting it down there!"

The soldiers quickly handed out life poles and pulled the people in the lake ashore one by one. They looked at the shimmering golden lakebed, but none of them dared to go down.

"Om——"

"Om-"

The magnificent pipe organ in the distance began to play, and the entire lake shimmered with a faint golden light, as if echoing the sound.

On the watchtower behind, the young man holding the long flute was slightly taken aback upon hearing the sound.

He had long hair and wore a modified stand-up collar shirt in a bamboo-gray color. The fabric was ramie with a subtle texture, and its slight sheen gave it an understated yet sophisticated look. He paired it with loose-fitting trousers in the same color family but a size darker, with smooth lines. On his feet were a pair of off-white soft-soled casual shoes.

The young man paused for a moment, then realized what he was doing and quickly took out his phone to make a call.

"Beep...beep..."

"Hello, this is Dang Hui, the second dispatcher at Rose Transportation."

The call was answered, and a cold female voice came from the phone.

"Hello, Second Dispatch Officer Dang Hui, I am Wenren Shuyue, the special singer from the Tingyutan Pollution Zone [Songjian You]."

"That's what the man in the Chinese-style stand-up collar shirt said."

The voice on the other end of the phone remained calm and cold:
"Hello, Your Excellency Wenren."

After exchanging greetings, Wenren Shuyue got down to business.

"A high-level war talent has been suspected to have entered the Tingyutan contaminated area, and an outside singer is currently providing assistance."

"I will provide melody support and request assistance from other singers."

The dispatcher asked quickly:
"What instrument is the singer you are assisting playing? Are there any instrument requirements for the assistance?"

The biggest difference between singers and other support-type talents is that they can play in ensembles to generate even greater power.

However, when playing in an ensemble, it is important to pay attention to the types of instruments included, because in certain pieces, the presence of instruments with very different styles may ruin the piece.

Wenren Shuyue listened carefully to the rhythm and melody of the music and said:

"The instrument on site is a pipe organ, which has strong sound wave penetration and can provide assistance over a very long distance. The initial guess is that it is Lord Garcia, the Harmonizer... He does not require an instrument for his assistance."

Adding instruments of different styles might ruin the piece, but there is no such concern if there is a harmonizer present.

The pipe organ itself has a wide range and is very inclusive. It can harmonize the chaos when multiple instruments are added, forcibly calibrating the disordered pitches to a unified key, thereby restoring the disordered rhythm to a stable beat.

This is why Wenren Shuyue, who was holding a long flute, immediately chose to play along after hearing the organ begin to play.

The dispatcher's reply came very quickly:

"Okay, the request for assistance has been sent to the Singer Battle Group. Please make sure to defend Listening to Rain Pool."

"A transmission ring has been set up based on your location."

As a massive aggregated force with numerous subordinate forces, the Rose Group has established ten dispatch officers to coordinate the overall situation in order to allocate various legions and rear support forces in real time.

In response to the special talent of singers who possess the ability to "achieve immediate results from their voices," the Rose Group's R&D department has developed a special transmission ring.

It enables the ultra-long-range transmission of a singer's voice, allowing for rapid deployment of support during wartime and sparing singers the hardship of frequently traveling between different battlefields.

At this moment, a pale pink transmission ring slowly unfolded amidst the scattering rose effects, with ripple-like circles undulating within it—indicating that a duet request was in progress. Wenren Shuyue picked up his long flute and precisely entered the beat as the new section began.

"Waaaaah—"

The clear, melodious sound of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) suddenly merged into the magnificent organ performance.

The unspoken understanding between the singers allowed Garcia, who was thousands of miles away, to immediately hand over the lead role to the flute and calmly move to the accompaniment position.

His instrument was originally better suited to playing harmony in ensembles, where it could achieve its maximum effect.

This time, he reluctantly took on the role of the main instrumentalist because the elder urgently needed singers' support and there were no main instrumentalists present.

Upon hearing the addition of a long flute capable of handling the main melody, Garcia couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

As Jiang Jianxin, who was underwater, swirling and sweeping against the enormous creature, heard a clear, soaring xiao flute blending into the magnificent sound of the pipe organ.

Unlike the mournful sound heard from the outside, the flute music was now supported by the deep tone of the organ, shedding its empty emptiness and becoming deep and powerful.

This change was directly reflected in her attacks—the golden rays she unleashed became increasingly solid, and their power increased dramatically. If before it was merely the pale golden light of dawn, now it was the blazing, dazzling golden light of the rising sun.

"boom----"

Another heavy blow struck, tearing a large chunk of wet, bloody flesh from the colossal creature and plunging into the dark water.

"Ugh——"

Dense tentacles swarmed towards her like a shower of petals, almost completely blocking her path with writhing shadows. Jiang Jianxin gritted her teeth, channeling all her spiritual energy into the black staff, attempting to forcefully break through the encirclement.

But the tentacles closed up extremely quickly, and the gaps were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She had just turned her spiritual energy around, intending to blast open a passage, when she heard a series of bright and light "clanging" sounds suddenly leap out from the deep range of the organ, like jade beads falling into a silver plate.

—It is a pipa.

The sound of the pipa suddenly joined the music, and in that instant, a clear and powerful force emerged out of nowhere.

The black broom beneath her feet trembled violently, then carried her forward like an arrow released from a bow.

The air hissed in her ears as she barely squeezed through the gaps between the last closing tentacles, then abruptly rose and hovered directly behind the mountain-like black behemoth.

Jiang Jianxin had no time to see the monster in its entirety; all she knew was that she had seized a fleeting opportunity—and an opportunity meant an attack.

With Sang Xiaoxiao recharging her, Jiang Jianxin was not afraid of running out of power.

"boom----"

The golden light exploded again, and this time, a pale golden corrosive mist spread out from the bursting radiance, hissing and eroding everything around it.

Almost simultaneously, the melodious and captivating tune of the saxophone flowed into the magnificent organ base.

As if a floodgate had been opened, this piece of music, rooted in the deep tones of the pipe organ, was instantly greeted by a torrent of instruments—

The cello's deep tremor, the French horn's powerful declaration, the clarinet's nimble leaps, the harp's crystal clarity... countless timbres intertwine and surge forth.

Finally, a bright and cheerful piano note broke through all the sound waves and joined in decisively. The long flute slowly retreated, transforming from the main melody into a delicate interlude of accompaniment.

"Woo-la-ding--"

Dozens of instruments resonated in unison against the expansive tone of the pipe organ, creating a long-awaited carnival for the singers.

While real-world pipe organs are characterized by their harmonizing properties, their capabilities are limited; this is the result after incorporating talent bonuses.

I'll update at noon from now on, and at a more moderate time.
