Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

Page 27

The women, of course, couldn't see through the mask, and therefore couldn't know what kind of stunning beauty lay beneath Xia Mu's half-face.

"Summer in summer, wood in trees."

Then he added another sentence.

The room fell silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The women either covered their mouths and chuckled or laughed heartily, but none of them showed any disdain; they were all very kind.

Yes, this is to give face to the Snake-Headed Eight Family.

'I curse Tachibana Masamune, I wish you a thousand curses upon your ancestors for five hundred generations! You made a mistake earlier, so don't expect to have any descendants!'

Natsuki cursed Tachibana Masamune behind him with a frenzy.

How could you bring him to a store like this!

Do they hope he will win the favor of these women and be chosen to have their way with them?

He glanced around the audience, his gaze lingering on Sakura and the four-leaf clover beside her for a moment, then turned back to the host and said, "Move that grand piano over there to the middle."

The flamboyant man with wings spread his arms wide: "Let's bring the piano up and welcome the upcoming feast!"

A group of handsome young men rushed up and surrounded the piano.

Xia Mu: "..."

“He knows me,” Chen Motong suddenly said.

Sakura gave her a strange look: "Impossible, Young Master Mu should have never seen you before."

"So what's so special about my four-leaf clover earrings? Did his ex-girlfriend also have a similar pendant?" Chen Motong said.

"By the way, do you think he's never seen me before? Is he the kind of person who's very reclusive and always stays at home?" she asked, seemingly casually.

Sakura kept her mouth tightly shut.

She finally realized that this girl was too shrewd, and the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.

"What kind of person is he...?"

Chen Motong propped her cheek up with her hand, her slender fingers tapping lightly on her knee.

Have you ever felt disappointed in the world?

Xia Mu sat in front of the piano, slowly tuning it while speaking softly.

Before the audience could react, he continued, "Have you ever felt hopeless about life?"

At that moment, there was a slight commotion at the side door, and Genjiro and the crow arrived.

In the shadows by the door, they spotted Chu Zihang standing there with his arms crossed, staring intently at the stage, motionless.

"How did you end up here by yourself?" Genji asked as he walked up to him.

Chu Zihang gestured towards the stage with his eyes: "My only goal in coming here is him. I have no interest in your nightclub girls."

"Xiao Mu is just an ordinary person who likes to sing and sings everywhere. Does he really need to go to such great lengths for academy fees?"

Genji shook his head, seemingly genuinely puzzled.

Chu Zihang said calmly, "Originally, it was only Chen Motong. I requested it myself because he is very important to me."

Yuan Zhisheng's handsome face twitched, and he almost grabbed Yuan Zhisheng's collar to question him about what happened that night that made him so obsessed with it.

Have you ever thought about suicide?

At that moment, Xia Mu's gentle voice drifted over like a breeze, instantly making Yuan Zhisheng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He was startled once again.

The entire room fell silent.

Xia Mu used her acting skills.

This is also an essential quality for a qualified singer.

A perfect performance is always a combination of emotion and skill, plus some acting skills; otherwise, where would the emotional impact come from?

So, it's perfectly fine for someone who excels in singing to also become an actor.

"I once thought about ending it all, and I'm sharing this with you all."

Xia Mu began his one-man show.

Unlike in nightclubs, the audience here is a group of females; passion isn't their theme, sensuality is.

“I once thought of ending it all, just because I saw the seagulls crying sadly on the dock. Seabirds that drift with the waves, they also eat away my past. Spread your wings and fly away.”

A soft hum, accompanied by melodious piano music, drifted gently into everyone's ears.

Like a clear spring, silent and still.

They seemed to see the boy standing alone on the beach, watching the seabirds fly, thinking about abandoning his past and giving up his life.

"Standing in front of the stove at the wooden station, my heart could not set off anywhere."

"Today is the same as yesterday; if we want a better tomorrow, we must take action today..."

Xia Mu's fingers paused at that moment, a tear slid down her cheek, and her lips trembled as she said, "I know, I know everything."

The hearts of all emotional beings were gripped.

"but…"

The piano music started again, highlighting Xia Mu's clear and cold singing voice, and a deep despair was spreading.

"I once thought about ending it all, because my heart had long been hollowed out."

"My heart weeps because it cannot be filled, for I still yearn for something."

If The Dark Knight is the ultimate weapon against hot-blooded, immature men, then this song is a wild charge against emotionally sensitive women.

Of course, the song's influence will only be realized after it spreads, especially in this country.

Despite a high standard of living, most people live in a state of extreme mental depression, and the suicide rate remains high worldwide.

Reducing the current suicide rate to a minimum would put this song in the spotlight.

Furthermore, by leveraging her existing popularity—which is now Erii's popularity—she can create some scandals. Even if she encounters a large number of haters over there, no one understands the concept of "black-and-red" better than him, who has experience from his previous life.

"A faint light emanated from the computer screen, and there were sounds coming from the room upstairs. The sound of an intercom came from the doorway, and the boy trapped in the birdcage covered his ears."

"Fighting against an invisible enemy, he was Don Quixote in a three-square-meter room. But his final fate was ugly and despicable."

Yuan Zhisheng's face stiffened.

He had felt that Xia Mu was criticizing him when he first saw the lyrics, and now the feeling is even clearer.

On the other hand, Tachibana Masamune remained calm, a warm smile on his lips, as if he hadn't noticed the irony in the song.

Some people in the audience had already started wiping away tears.

The power of being there can only be truly understood by those who have been there in person.

Music is the best medium for conveying emotions.

"I once thought about ending it all, laughing happily, my mind filled with thoughts of ending my own life, but in the end, it was because living was too unforgettable."

Chu Zihang huddled tightly in the corner, covered in sweat, seemingly lost in thought about something painful.

On the other side, Chen Motong lowered her crossed legs and unconsciously clenched her hands.

Many others had red-rimmed eyes, overwhelmed by immense sorrow.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared, but when it comes to being world-weary, everyone has their own reasons, and thus, they reach a consensus.

If this song didn't have the last verse, it wouldn't be a healing song, and it might even be banned.

At that moment, when everyone's hearts were heavy, Natsuki slowly turned his head and smiled gently at everyone, including Erii, who was in tears below the stage.

It was a warm smile full of longing and hope.

"I once thought about ending it all, but I hadn't met you yet."

"Because there are people like you, I've come to like this world a little bit more."

"Because there are people like you, I've started to look forward to this world a little more."

Three simple lines of lyrics can turn all emotions upside down.

People immersed in their emotions have become obsessed.

"Clap clap clap..."

A lone clap rang out.

It's Tachibana Masamune.

He was the only one who remembered to clap, because he was completely unmoved.

His heart was as cold as a snake, and would never melt.
