Those who reincarnate must die.

Soon, the concert began, and the protagonist, the genius piano girl Cheng Siyun, took to the stage, greeted the audience, and then sat down in front of the huge grand piano.

Zhang Lang frowned slightly.

Compared to the posed photo printed on the ticket, Cheng Siyun in person was much more vivid and felt completely different. But at the same time, it also brought a more pronounced sense of familiarity to Zhang Lang…

It wasn't the photo; the feeling was even stronger in person! Where exactly have I seen her before?

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Zhang Lang's furrowed brows, Su Jie asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing..." Zhang Lang shook his head, then asked, "You said Cheng Siyun is your childhood friend...you've known each other for many years?"

"Yes!" Su Jie nodded, "We've been good friends since kindergarten..."

"Have you noticed anything unusual about this friend lately?"

"Something's not right?" Su Jie blinked. "Come to think of it, she seems to have become very busy since starting university, so we rarely have a chance to see each other... But that's not really a problem, is it? After all, she's studying at a world-class music academy and signed with a management company early on. Not only is her academic work demanding, but she also frequently travels to different places to perform during holidays. It's normal for her to be a little busy..."

"Are you sure it's just because of the performance?" Zhang Lang pressed.

"Otherwise what?" Su Jie blinked, then suddenly realized, her mouth agape in surprise: "You don't actually suspect... that she is too..."

As she spoke, she pointed to Zhang Lang and herself.

Zhang Lang nodded: "Possibly."

He had never paid attention to Cheng Siyun's news in the main world, and he had never even heard the name before. He felt a strange sense of familiarity and even felt that he had seen her in person before... There was only one possibility: Zhang Lang had seen her at the altar!

Unexpectedly, I've encountered another reincarnator here. The main world is both vast and small...

The concert was a great success. Cheng Siyun lived up to her reputation as a piano prodigy. Her performance was excellent in both technique and emotion, and she received applause and unanimous praise from the audience at the end.

After seeing her play the piano, Zhang Lang became even more certain of his guess.

Although Cheng Siyun's piano playing involved movements that ordinary people could perform, subtle details revealed that her control over her body far surpassed that of ordinary people. This required a considerable level of fire and water attributes to achieve... She was not only a reincarnator, but could even be a hero!

It's worth mentioning that Song Yiwen, who is usually eccentric and loves to play pranks, was surprisingly well-behaved during the concert, remaining silent throughout and seemingly immersed in the beautiful music.

After the performance, Song Yiwen praised Cheng Siyun's performance highly, and even used a lot of professional terms to comment on it, leaving Zhang Lang and Su Jie, the tone-deaf duo, completely confused and unable to join the conversation.

"The only downside was that she seemed a little nervous at the beginning... That shouldn't be the case. Although Cheng Siyun is young, she has already made a name for herself on the international stage. There's no reason for her to be nervous in such a small setting. Could something have happened before she went on stage...?"

"Cough cough..." With a few coughs from Chen Na, Song Yiwen finally realized that she was talking to a brick wall and ended the conversation.

"It's still early, and we didn't really enjoy dinner. Let's go for a late-night snack." Song Yiwen checked the time. "I know a good Yingzhou restaurant nearby..."

"You're an actress, don't you need to diet to maintain your figure?" Su Jie glanced at Song Yiwen's slender waist under her thin shirt, and a pang of jealousy welled up inside her for no reason...

"It's okay, I'm still developing!" As she spoke, Miss Song puffed out her budding chest, earning another eye roll from Su Jie.

"We won't go for late-night snacks..." This time, it was Zhang Lang who declined, "We have other things to do."

"What could be going on so late?" Song Yiwen glanced at the two of them, then suddenly widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and exclaimed with a look of sudden realization, "Could it be that you two are going to a hotel?"

These words made Su Jie's face flush red, and she hurriedly retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're waiting for a friend here!"

"Three people together?" Song Yiwen's expression was even more shocked as she looked Zhang Lang up and down. "I didn't realize that someone as honest and simple as you..."

"Don't talk nonsense!!" Su Jie's face turned even redder, while Song Yiwen's shocked expression carried a faint smile.

"Alright, Miss, stop playing..." Chen Na put her hand on Song Yiwen's shoulder. "Master said we can't go back too late..."

Hearing Chen Na bring up her father, Song Yiwen, who was in the middle of a prank, suddenly lost her temper and pouted, "Okay, okay, I know..."

After saying that, she waved to Zhang Lang and Su Jie, "See you later."

Chen Na bowed slightly to the two of them, saying, "I apologize, Miss's temper is just like that. Please forgive her." With that, she left with Song Yiwen...

After watching Song Yiwen leave, the two went to a nearby bar, which was the place where Su Jie and Cheng Siyun had agreed to meet.

This bar has a nice ambiance and isn't too crowded. Unlike typical nightclubs with their noisy music and electronic music, it only has soothing instrumental music played live by a band, creating a warm and quiet atmosphere.

The two waited a short while before a girl wearing a loose t-shirt, jeans, a hat, and glasses walked in. After glancing around, she went straight to Su Jie's seat.

"Wow, Mars Iced Tea, Xiao Jie, you understand me best!" The girl sat down next to Su Jie, reached out and picked up the only untouched glass of wine on the table, and took a small sip.

"Ha, a drink after a performance feels really good!"

Zhang Lang sized up the girl in front of him. Needless to say, she was Su Jie's childhood friend, the piano prodigy Cheng Siyun.

Unlike her poised and elegant stage presence, Cheng Siyun was dressed casually, exuding a relaxed and languid air. Her heavy stage makeup was gone, replaced by a pair of black-rimmed glasses without lenses to conceal her bare face. She looked completely different from the performer on stage.

It was this Cheng Siyun, who was closest to the real one, that made Zhang Lang feel even more familiar with her. Finally, with a flash of inspiration, he unearthed memories of her in his mind!

It was a white room where eight isolated reincarnators vied to complete the altar's tasks. The first to finish could draw punishments from the others, using them to kill their opponents. After rounds of punishments, only he and a massive power armor survived.

Ultimately, the power armor was also destroyed, revealing the operator beneath the heavy armor: a slender girl with long, delicate fingers.

The girl's face and Cheng Siyun's face overlapped perfectly!

"Is it you?"

Zhang Lang blurted it out.

But Cheng Siyun responded with a slightly surprised expression.

"You just recognized me?"
