The concert was held in the grand theater on the second floor of the hotel. When you get out of the elevator, you can see a huge poster hanging on the wall. In the poster is a handsome young man, with sea-blue broken hair reminiscent of the blue sky and blue sea, and the young man faces the viewer with gentle eyes. From those eyes, his gaze seemed to be able to reach the depths of the soul. Allen was shocked, and Adele next to him said, "You are also shocked, right? Who can have a pair of amazing eyes like Edward, like, he can see through your mind."
Allen was shocked, but it wasn't what Adele said. He was shocked because this so-called soul singer was actually the Maritan he bumped into a few months ago before he was attacked on Black Street. At that time, Allen also suggested that he take refuge in the Old Oak Bar, but he didn't expect to see him for a few months, and he turned into a superstar
Is there anything more bizarre in the world than this
Before he could recover, there was thunderous applause in the theater. Adele's complexion changed, she yanked Allen and said, "Go, Edward is about to appear."
Just got into the big theater, the theater door has been closed. The lights on the dome and on both sides of the theater were extinguished one by one, gradually covering the entire space in darkness. When all the lights were turned off, a row of colored lights suddenly turned on, and beams of light of different colors hit the stage. As the lights moved, the band behind the stage also played cheerful tunes, and a well-dressed host rushed out. After winning applause from the whole house with very fancy movements, he lifted his top hat and put it on his chest, and bowed to the audience: "Gentlemen and ladies, good evening!"
"Tonight, our Venus Hotel is very honored to invite Mr. Edward, who is known as a soul singer, to sing for you. In just a few months, Mr. Edward has played with his unique voice. The line swept the whole of Babylon and became a well-deserved idol among the younger generation. Many ladies are also curious about the life experience of Mr. Edward. He suddenly crossed the sky of Babylon like a meteor, and nourished our increasingly exhausted For such a legendary figure, everyone must be as curious as I am." The host shouted: "Now, please Mr. Edward. Tonight, I will unravel the mystery of our soul singer's life experience for you. fan!"
Cheers erupted.
Amidst the warm applause, the band's sonata also reached **. After several strong beams of light moved and circled continuously on the stage, they suddenly froze above the stage. On the stage, pieces of silver snowflakes suddenly floated down, a clear sound like the sound of nature that could hit the depths of people's souls. The boy in a silver suit slowly descended from the stage in the snowflakes like some noble young master.
His highly stage-rendering way of appearing on the stage, coupled with his peculiar voice, made the people in the big theater mesmerized. Allen felt more deeply, and the whole theater space, Yuanli resonated slightly. Circles of invisible ripples spread, as if they were dancing together for the boy's singing. Allen felt relieved that the Maritan himself had a superhuman power that could affect living beings. Now that he fused this supernatural power into his singing, it resonated with the souls of all listeners like hypnosis.
Of course, this kind of hypnosis is not strong, otherwise it will easily attract people's instinctive resistance. But precisely because of this, people resonated with his singing, so much so that they gave this alien boy the nickname of a soul singer. The Maritan was already good at singing, but now combining his own different powers
, easily captured the hearts and minds of the people in Babylon.
Even Adele next to her could hear her body swaying slightly, and couldn't help but want to hear the song and dance. Allen had experienced his hypnotic techniques before, and later encountered a dangerous species like the Dark Dusk King Snake that is good at affecting the mind. Now he has a certain resistance to the abnormal power of the psychic type, and he is not a little gaffe like other people.
This strange atmosphere was maintained until Edward finished singing.
When his singing disappeared, everyone was still immersed in their hearts, and it took a long time to recover. So the theater was quiet for almost a minute before the audience responded with warm applause.
On the stage, the host asked Edward to come forward and said, "Mr. Edward, your singing voice is really touching. Can you tell us how you came to sing this way?"
Under the spotlight, Edward smiled shyly, and said in the same clear voice: "I used to feel confused about my life, like walking in a maze-like neighborhood. There are roads in front, back, left, and right, but I don't know what to do. Which way to go. And where will this road lead to. "
Allen couldn't help but sigh, this Maritan is really talented in language. In just a few months, the language of Earth has become quite fluent. Listening to his description again, Allen felt a little weird. It was like describing how he escaped from the Jermyn Chamber of Commerce that night, and then lost his way in the complicated neighborhood of Black Street just like himself.
Edward continued: "Just when I didn't know how to make a choice, I met a person. A person who completely changed my destiny. I still don't know his name. I only know that he is about the same age as me With short silver hair and bright red pupils, he is the one who guides me on the right path. It is no exaggeration to say that I am able to stand here to sing for everyone tonight, and he is the biggest contributor!"
The host said humorously: "It seems that we have to thank this unknown boy. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to hear Mr. Edward's natural voice."
In the theater, Adele tilted her head to look at Allen and said, "Why do I sound like you, with silver hair and red eyes..."
"Coincidence, it's just a coincidence." Allen coughed dryly, turned his face away, but said "Huh" because he saw an old acquaintance.
Papa Ward at the Old Oak Bar was standing in a suit and leather shoes among the crowd, also looking towards the stage. He did change his outfit, the only thing that remained unchanged was his pipe.
"I'll go away." Allen pointed in the direction of Old Ward and said, "That's an old friend, I'll go over and say hello."
Adele's attention was attracted to Edward again, and she said without thinking: "Go, go."
Walking to Old Ward, Allen coughed dryly and said, "Dad, are you changing careers? Stop opening a bar and become the manager of a superstar?"
Old Ward came to his senses, seeing that it was Allen, he was also surprised and said: "This is not Beth Keld's young master, we met again. Hey, how do you know that I am Edward's agent."
Because I called people to go. Allen said in his heart, but said: "Intuition is purely an intuition."
"Your intuition is really sharp." Old Ward patted his head and said, "It's a coincidence that the night I met you, I went back to the bar. Not long after, this little guy was chased by people from the Jemin Chamber of Commerce. and fled to my bar. I was about to kick him out, but he said
In a word. God knows how I believed it, but a series of dramatic changes ensued. "
"Oh, what did he say?"
Old Ward blinked his eyes and said: "He said, as long as you let me stay, I can make you money, a lot of money! What the hell, I actually believed it when I looked at his eyes. But I It was a good bet. This little guy sang so well, and it was not in vain that I offended the Jieming Chamber of Commerce. But now, the Jieming Chamber of Commerce is the major shareholder behind us. You said that sometimes things in the world really make people watch Impenetrable."
Allen was amused. It turned out that Old Ward looked into his eyes. That's no wonder, Edward must have exerted his mind-affecting powers again. Speaking of which, I also warned him not to use it on Old Ward, but I didn't expect this kid to not listen to the advice. Fortunately, the old Ward probably ignored the doorway carelessly, so he didn't throw Edward out on the spot.
If that's the case, now this young man will probably only be able to sing in the bed of a lady.
Things are always unexpected.
On the stage, the host retreated, and Edward began to sing again. It's rare that Adele was not affected this time, she walked over, pulled Allen's hand and said: "We should go, the secret gladiatorial match is about to begin."
So leaving old Ward behind, Ellen and Adele left the theater by another passage.
When the two walked into the elevator and watched Adele press the light button leading to the top floor, Allen said in surprise: "I thought the secret gladiatorial competition would be held underground."
"That's a black street, right? But this is Venus, and they usually hold some shady gambling games on the top floor." Adele laughed and said, "On the top floor, they also have two small magic airships. The hotel has a flight license, and federal air traffic control is out of their control. So when necessary, guests can be evacuated quickly."
"This is a privilege. A privilege always serves a small number of people, doesn't it?"
While talking, the top floor arrived. Adele walked out of the elevator holding Allen's arm. The entrance to the arena was strictly guarded by two rows of hotel security guards in black suits. It can be seen that not many people entered the venue. There are so few people, but everyone is well-dressed and personable, it can be seen that they are all rich or expensive.
Allen and the two came to the door, and Adele took out two invitation letters from her handbag. The person in charge of the gate was a man who looked like a supervisor. He nodded to Adele and said, "Good evening, Miss Adele. You can go in now."
Adele readily pulled Alan up and was about to drill in, but the supervisor suddenly stopped Alan. The man frowned, looked at the name on the invitation letter and said, "Master Allen, it seems that this is the first time you have come to our hotel. I wonder which family you belong to?"
At the end of Allen's answer, Adele said displeasedly, "This is Master Allen from Bethkind. Is there any problem?"
The supervisor said unhurriedly: "Miss, calm down, I'm just doing a routine job. This young master is very face-to-face. For the first time guests participating in our secret gambling game, for everyone's convenience, we usually consult some related information." question."
"For example, Master Allen, can you disclose your bank account conveniently. After all, the minimum bet (bet) amount for a game like ours is one million. If you can't pay the minimum bet (bet) amount, I'm sorry ..." The supervisor spread his hands and made a helpless expression.
