Chapter 60: 58 The Disappeared Audience

58 The Disappeared Audience

Last night's concert of the century was like a soul-shaking nightmare, lingering long like dark clouds. Standing in the Gymnasium's audience seating, one could still feel the echoes reverberating. The figure who stood in the center of the stage, a one-man army, playing the Hell Symphony in solitude, seemed to have left behind shadows and spiritual remnants.

The members of the Xuanmi Group stood in solemn respect, gazing for a long time at the spot where the corpse had once stood, unwilling to leave.

After an investigation, the Mysterious Investigators finally learned what kind of heavy and awe-inspiring past this treasure of the human world, this genius of the music world, had truly had.

During the years Haimofen spent in silence, he had not deliberately avoided the mortal world, nor was he being capricious, carefree, or aloof; he had his reasons for having to avoid the secular world.

In the residence in Litaishi where Haimofen had lived in seclusion, the Mysterious Investigators discovered traces of Other-dimensional Power in the attic where he studied musical scores. This man had once faced the intrusion of an Alien God alone, and under the spotlight of the masses last night, he had resolutely confronted the powerful Alien God, and it seemed that through his own methods, he had successfully expelled that musical Alien God composed entirely of irregular sound waves.

Although they could not witness the scene of Haimofen challenging the divine might with their own eyes, the death scene Haimofen left behind told the world that humans could also resist Alien Gods in their own way, even if, to the Alien Gods, humans were merely insects, ants, or even tiny mayflies.

If humans can be insignificant things to Alien Gods, then why can't humans choose to be viruses or cells that can "poison" or even "kill" those Alien Gods?

The various Heaven-Level Abnormal events that had occurred one after another recently—the destruction of the Blood-Flesh Other Shore Flower at the Xuanmi Group headquarters, the annihilation of the harmful beast Alien God Kusuen from a branch of an abnormal dimensional race, plus the musical Alien God expelled by the human musician last night... all had completely shaken the Mysterious Investigators' belief that Heaven-Level events were unsolvable and Alien Gods were invincible.

Humans have a chance to deal with Alien Gods... even if it means paying the price with their lives.

One human life, two human lives... or even thousands or hundreds of human lives; when they turn into numbers, compared to the global population of over eight billion, these sacrifices are worth it.

What's more, what they are doing is "anti-god," it is "god-slaying"!

"I am very sorry, Mr. Haimofen. I didn't like your music much while you were alive. Your overly charming and seductive female-like face often made me look at you through colored glasses, feeling that your success was mainly due to your appearance and that talent was secondary. Now, I feel very regretful." He Jia'an stood where Haimofen's corpse had once stood and let out a long sigh, "You are one of the greatest humans I have ever seen."

"I really wish I could hear you play one more time. Well, of course, not the Magic Sound or those other types of music that transcend common sense." Li Yingqi was also mourning on the side.

Yu Lianyun: "..."

As the "old six" of the team, Yu Lianyun had always felt guilty. Now, seeing the whole group silently paying respects and mourning Haimofen, she knew deep down that everyone didn't need to go to such great lengths or expend so much effort for Haimofen, because he himself was still enjoying his own death, and was currently "alive" in a form of existence that humans could not understand—similar to Wei Jiang, but even more bizarre.

She had already seen the dead Haimofen in the forest shop in her dreams. At this moment, Haimofen was rejoicing at being free from the limitations of his physical body, and was reveling to the extreme in the immeasurable time he would now enjoy, even acting somewhat uninhibited and unhinged.

In short, mourning for that guy is actually not worth it.

After the brief memorial service ended, He Jia'an and the others still needed to return to their primary duties. Although yesterday's incident had temporarily passed, they still needed to handle the aftermath.

Bu Gaojun, the Mysterious Investigator who had temporarily teamed up with He Jia'an, had joined He Jia'an's Tiger Team as a member of the Tiger Team after his injuries healed not long ago.

This was a person who was quite enthusiastic about his work and had a slightly excessive, fanatical worship of He Jia'an. Li Yingqi and Yu Lianyun felt there was nothing wrong with him, but He Jia'an often felt a regret of "inviting a wolf into the house."

"Team Leader He!" Bu Gaojun would report to He Jia'an whenever he had the slightest discovery. Although his findings were useful, they were of little use... This enthusiastic team member seemed to have made other discoveries at the scene of last night's Abnormal event.

He Jia'an looked over with an expressionless face, waiting for Bu Gaojun's answer. When Bu Gaojun attempted to get within a meter of him, he reached out to block him, determined not to let the other person get any closer.

Bu Gaojun was not annoyed and said excitedly, "Team Leader He, I have a new discovery!"

"Speak," He Jia'an said coldly.

"There were a total of 2,381 audience members on-site last night, and after excluding all interference, according to the admission statistics, two people were not on the admission list," Bu Gaojun reported.

Hearing this, He Jia'an was stunned. Li Yingqi and Yu Lianyun were also slightly startled, and then both put on serious expressions.

Because this was a major discovery that was truly worth noting and had to be taken seriously.

"Can you identify which two people they are?" He Jia'an asked.

Bu Gaojun smiled and said, "I have already handed the screening work over to the technical department. I believe there will be results very soon."

Yu Lianyun was slightly silent. If there were two audience members at the scene who were not on the admission list, then she might know who those two were, but she could not say...

"Hmm?" Yu Lianyun felt her neck go cold, and a chilly wind was blowing. She looked around; in this enclosed Gymnasium, where would a natural cool breeze come from?

This made Yu Lianyun feel a tingling sensation on her scalp, because she didn't know if it was her high level of intuition acting up again, causing her to sense some kind of Abnormal phenomenon that she shouldn't be actively seeking out.

But Yu Lianyun's primary job was no different from actively seeking death. When Yu Lianyun confirmed that this might be her intuitive ability guiding her to discover the existence of an Abnormality nearby, she did not resist this sensation. She touched the back of her neck and turned around, walking while searching for and sensing the direction from which the strange wind was coming.

Not long after, she arrived in front of a certain step of the audience seating stairs, stopped, and crouched down to carefully examine what was so peculiar about this area.

"Wait!? This is... a seam?" Yu Lianyun was slightly startled. Finally, in the gap between the tiles of a certain step, she discovered a crack that penetrated through to the outside.

Yu Lianyun inexplicably had a bad premonition, and at this moment, Bu Gaojun seemed to have received feedback from the technical department at the same time.

"The results are out!" Bu Gaojun ran to He Jia'an and reported the investigation results he had received, "Although the electronic equipment inside the Gymnasium was destroyed, there was a street camera near the pre-check area of the Citizen Sports Center that was connected to another underground cable. It can clearly see every audience member entering and leaving the main gate. After classifying and analyzing their faces, only one pair of father and daughter who entered the scene did not have a corresponding match."

"And during the estimated time of the Abnormal event, that pair of father and daughter did indeed seem to know something in advance, and they had already left the scene before the incident completely broke out."

He Jia'an frowned; there was indeed something unspeakably strange about this.

And Bu Gaojun hadn't finished speaking; he continued to report, "Besides that, we finally discovered a person who was not on the ticket list, but checking the surveillance, he had secretly entered the perimeter of the Gymnasium before the concert started."

"Who are these three people?" He Jia'an asked seriously.
