Chapter 80：Where Is He?
On stage, the 'Emperor Yi' continues to sing with heartfelt emotion.
Unaware of the chaos around him!
Meanwhile, the sound control console is in complete disarray!
The top sound engineers, hired for millions, are frantically adjusting the controls!
But all the buttons have stopped working!
On the computer screen, the sound settings are changing erratically!
The reverb is set to zero!
The bass is set to zero!
The vocal effects are set to zero!
The singer's voice has reverted to its raw state!
But strangely enough,
The headphones on stage still seem to be functioning normally!
He still believes his voice is fine!
He still thinks he is Emperor Yi!
'Experiencing the dark night wind and the deep rain...'
He sings with abandon.
The voice is weak!
Not a single note is in tune!
The high notes are unbearable!
The sound is as if someone had choked his voice and shoved it into a toilet!
The audience is stunned!
Ouyang Fengyu, standing in the director's seat with a walkie-talkie, is also stunned!
This is a disaster!
The audience who had fainted in excitement moments ago suddenly jolts back to life!
"What the hell is this awful noise?"
Finally.
The audience can't take it anymore.
They just want to lash out!
Tear apart the 'Emperor Yi' who is producing this racket!
Suddenly.
A loud 'bang' comes from the stage!
The screens go dark, the lights go out, the sound system cuts off!
Then.
The lights in the entire coastal area of Hai City start to go out, one by one!
Bang bang bang...
It's as if all the lights are tripping the circuit breakers.
Residential lights, shop signs, streetlights...
Everything, everything, goes dark!
The coastal area plunges into complete darkness!
Hundreds of thousands of spectators are left in shock.
They can't even see the people next to them!
Suddenly.
From a nearby hair salon, a sound system connected to a phone quietly turns on.
Then, the ethereal and beautiful sound of a piano begins to play.
Followed by a dreamy, murmuring voice.
The melody is soft and long, as if it transports listeners to a celestial realm!
Next.
A sound system in front of another supermarket suddenly starts playing.
The sound is synchronized with the salon's music!
Then, hundreds of sound systems along the street turn on simultaneously!
Even street advertising speakers.
And car radios!
Thousands of windows are playing in unison!
The song begins!
'In those days of roaring waves,
The wind howled by,
We were not afraid,
Let the sea submerge,
Let the strong winds sweep over...'
A chill runs up the spines of all the audience members!
It sounds so beautiful...
This is the voice!
This is Emperor Yi!
Some people are moved to tears!
Hundreds of thousands of people are silent and still!
This is the real Emperor Yi!
The one just now was a fake!
The audience's emotions are like a rollercoaster.
Suddenly falling into a pit, then soaring to the skies!
The scene before them.
Has never been seen before!
The sound systems scattered around the streets continue to awaken, singing the song "Future to Look Forward To" together!
Perhaps these are not expensive sound systems.
But!
There are thousands of them!
In every corner!
It feels like being immersed in a sea of celestial music!
Flowers blooming, boats competing!
It is profoundly moving!
To hear this music is to have no regrets in this life!
The song continues, incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing!
But some are still asking.
Where exactly is Emperor Yi?
Where is he???
Some people are looking around, but all they see is darkness!
Boom!
A sudden drumbeat resonates in everyone's minds!
A nearby streetlight, as if turned on by someone, suddenly lights up!
The crowd's attention is drawn.
But under the streetlight, there is nothing!
Boom!
The drumbeat sounds again!
The next streetlight suddenly turns on!
The crowd's eyes widen!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Streetlights keep turning on, one after another!
They slowly form a path!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The streetlights continue to light up!
The road becomes clearer!
It winds and stretches, passing through skyscrapers!
Through narrow alleys!
Faintly leading to the distance!
Locals in Hai City know that it leads to the coast.
To an old, rarely visited street!
There are only a few dilapidated low-rise buildings there!
The other lights in the coastal area remain out.
Only this row of streetlights,
Is like a dazzling necklace laid out on black velvet!
It is guiding the way!
Guiding everyone!
It seems that its destination is where people long to go!
'Experiencing the dark night wind and the deep rain,
The wings of the night and the waves on the streets,
I ponder in a state of heightened awareness,
The direction of the wind, the extension of the night, and the outcome of the blooming flowers,
A power long forgotten,
Suddenly returns in an unexpected night,
The future,
To look forward to...'
In hundreds of sound systems, Emperor Yi's song continues.
The crowd is entranced.
They gaze at the ever-extending path of light before them.
They all step forward in unison!
Hundreds of thousands of people.
Abandon the luxurious and magnificent stage!
They embark on an eagerly anticipated journey!
In grand procession!
As they move forward, "Future to Look Forward To" accompanies them!
As if guided by a deity.
It is also the direction of their hearts!
Everyone, without exception.
Abandons all concerns.
And heads towards that unknown, captivating, and mysterious place!
