Chapter 2577 - 1723: Hard Control

Hm, I refuse to believe this can’t control you all? How about it? Do you still have to obediently kneel and sing "Conquer" for me?

However, this is as far as it goes!

With Duanmu Huai’s thoughts shifting, in the next moment, the originally bright stage suddenly turned pitch black, and Duanmu Huai prepared to leave.

"Wait, wait, are we just going to leave like this?"

Fukawa Shoko grabbed Duanmu Huai and asked.

"What else?"

"Shouldn’t we introduce our band or ask the audience for their thoughts?"

"Hmm, their thoughts........."

Facing Fukawa Shoko’s words, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, then turned sideways to the audience, clenched his fists, tightened his hips, and tucked his waist.

"Now, everyone, satisfied, right?"

"...Let’s hurry down."

Seeing this, Fukawa Shoko was speechless, thankful the stage was completely dark, otherwise if Duanmu Huai did such a thing in front of the entire audience, she might faint directly from embarrassment.

Fortunately, Fukawa Shoko had spent some time with Duanmu Huai and understood his personality somewhat, otherwise suddenly witnessing such a scene might really have made her pass out.

But simultaneously, Fukawa Shoko also felt relieved internally, after all, the singing Duanmu Huai earlier felt too unfamiliar, as if he wasn’t human, but some other entity transformed into a human. Sacred and untouchable, even dazzlingly distant. Seeing him being as usual now...was a relief.

"Snap ——————————!"

When the light shone again, the stage was already empty.

"————————!"

The silver-haired girl gasped sharply, almost weakly leaning against the railing, her eyes wide, panting heavily.

But no one cared about her loss of composure because almost everyone was the same, as if they just woke from a dream and returned to reality.

"Just now...what was that?"

"Is that Inquisitor? How terrifying..."

"Amazing...I never thought..."

The girls trembled and murmured, as fellow band members, they could understand what that band just brought to them.

Unparalleled pressure and dominance.

They never thought a band could perform like this.

Typically, bands focus on interacting with the audience, like how Xianjuan Xin would even stage dive to engage the stage atmosphere. Everyone cheers, sings, experiences the lively emotions, and plays excitedly together.

But Inquisitor was completely different.

In summary, just four words.

I sing, you listen.

Absolute dominance, no need for any audience reaction or interaction, like an exalted king who knows that as soon as they speak, others will inevitably listen, filled with absolute confidence and majesty.

And indeed, they achieved it.

The audience at the venue gradually regained their senses, aimlessly observing, seemingly unsure of what to do. At this moment, the host stepped onto the stage and expressed gratitude for Inquisitor’s night performance, then announced the closing ceremony.

The festival ended.

But the commotion had only just begun.

".........Amazing, it just ended, and they’re already all over the top ten trending searches."

Staring at her phone, Maruyama Ai widened her eyes in surprise. From "Mysterious Band" to "Third Night Performance," keywords directly flooded the top ten trending searches. It seemed the audience was only coming to their senses now, but since the band had already left, they could only vent their passion online.

Maruyama Ai could understand these people’s thoughts because she felt the same when reminiscing about Inquisitor’s song. Her emotions were extremely complex, wanting to cry, laugh, and pour out all her inner feelings. To praise their songs, to reflect on the band’s unique style, and the pressure it brought to her...it’s truly mixed emotions.

"Many are researching what language they sang in, it’s quite rare, seems like it’s not a usual foreign language."

"Huh? Not German or French?"

"Online, professionals from various languages are evaluating."

The other girl beside indicated her phone.

"At least so far, it seems not English, French, German, or even Latin, even some who study minor languages say they’ve never heard this before."

"But strangely, I feel like I can understand what they’re singing..."

Maruyama Ai appeared puzzled, indeed she didn’t understand the lyrics, but accompanied by the melody, she seemed to clearly receive the image in her mind. Had her companion not mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it.

"Though music is said to be borderless, this is the first time I’ve felt it so clearly, and everyone online is saying, even though we don’t understand what’s sung, we can comprehend the meaning in the song. Many have posted their thoughts, how to say it......"

Staring at her phone, another companion frowned.

"It’s like we all watched a movie together."

Indeed, a movie.

Maruyama Ai nodded in deep agreement, isn’t that so? It’s like everyone gathered together and watched an outdoor movie, and the same images emerged in everyone’s mind.
