Chapter 59 Accompaniment After parting with Liu Yonglu and the others, Millie Tang entered the dark corridor leading to the backstage alone. She walked slowly and carefully. After all, she was no longer a human being, so she couldn't use her usual methods. As she walked, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. Millie Tang jumped onto the table next to her and hid behind the vase. I saw a waiter in a black suit and bow tie, carrying two small bamboo baskets of food, walking quickly through the corridor. Although it was pitch dark, he was still walking very fast. It was obvious that he often delivered food to people in the opera house in the middle of the night and was very familiar with the route. Millie Tang followed the waiter and continued walking forward. After turning two corners, she could vaguely hear the sound of the symphony orchestra rehearsing. It sounds like there are quite a lot of people, including percussion, orchestral, and piano players. Is the symphony orchestra rehearsing together? Judging from the size of the waiter's food basket, it must be the musicians' midnight snack. At this time, Millie Tang saw the waiter push the door and enter the rehearsal room, and then she heard the sound of him placing tableware. To enter or not to enter? Millie Tang hesitated for a moment but decided to go in and take a look. As an academic mystic, Millie Tang shouldn't have fallen into such a low-level trap, but the bad luck fell on the takeaway waiter and the symphony orchestra.
Suppose a person is walking at night and passes by a desolate cemetery or wilderness, he must be extra careful. Even if a rabbit jumps out of the grass, he must stand still for a while. But what’s scary is that you might see a lot of normal people coming and going, and feel that everything around you is normal, so you unconsciously relax your vigilance, and then when you come to your senses, you realize that you have mistakenly entered a ghost market. After entering, Millie Tang realized... something was wrong. Dozens of people from the symphony orchestra were crowded on a small stage, playing their instruments with dull eyes. Even the waiter was just mechanically repeating an action. Medea is in the rehearsal room! As soon as this thought came into her mind, it was too late for Millie Tang to leave. An actress in gorgeous costume slowly walked onto the stage from behind the scenes. She cleared her throat, gestured to the band, and began to sing an obscure and depressing opera poem. "The song of the Hyades is unheard, the king's rags flutter in the wind, the song dies silently there, in the dark Carcosa..." The distorted and long singing voice came from the actress's mouth and suddenly flooded into Millie Tang's mind. In the song, the vast amount of chaotic and disordered knowledge squeezed Milly Tang's brain like a disordered high-level consciousness. Every piece of information made her so fascinated, and every note seemed to have some kind of magic, tempting her to peek into the mysteries of the universe that she should not know. If she were a human instead of a cat, Millie Tang was confident that she still had a way to counterattack, at least she would have no problem escaping. But unfortunately, she was a cat at the moment, and now she could only close her eyes and grit her teeth to endure it. When the female singer reached the climax of her song, she suddenly turned around and raised her hands forward naturally. Millie Tang could see her face clearly. Her beauty was needless to say. But what made Millie Tang feel most desperate was that her nose started bleeding again. Although there were only a few drops, she knew that the female singer in front of her was a genuine projection of a god. As time went by, Millie Tang only felt that her consciousness began to gradually become blurred and she gradually lost the concept of time and space. She didn't know how long she had been standing here or which space she was in. Finally, a numbing feeling of electric current penetrated her body and spread from the tip of her tail to the top of her head. "Mi Li'er, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, let's listen to the opera here. You must be addicted." Suddenly, Liu Yonglu's voice came from above her head. It turned out that the tingling sensation just now was caused by Liu Yonglu climbing up along her tail. There is hope. Millie Tang recovered a little after being interrupted by Liu Yonglu, but her body was still affected by the opera and she couldn't walk. "Nosebleed again? Young people are just strong and energetic." Liu Yonglu jumped off the cat head, looked at the two drops of blood from his nose on the ground, and was still talking nonsense. "Are you... okay?" Millie Tang squeezed out a few words from between her teeth. "It's okay. We're just rehearsing. You sing well... Keep singing."
Liu Yonglu turned his head and hummed a few words to the rhythm, shaking his head. "It was... the god's... whispering. Did you listen to it... and are you okay?" "It's okay. I'll listen to it all the time, all night long. Even though the lyrics are a little different, the tune is the same." "Oh, it's called the God's Ramblings. I've always thought of it as a local opera from Toad's side." "Hey, you know what, the sister on the stage sings really well. Her voice is much sweeter than that unlucky toad who sings to me every day." Millie Tang suddenly felt her head starting to hurt again. There was a huge amount of information implied in Liu Yonglu's words, but now was not the time to think about it. "Ricky... Sir, ask the female singer to stop... Otherwise, I can't control... my body." "Oh... after all this trouble, she is the inner demon. I just want her to sing." "Just keep going south. You won't turn back until you hit a wall, and you won't be tempted until you get bit by a snake..." He started singing. Millie Tang closed her eyes again. She was afraid that if she continued to watch Liu Yonglu talking, she would go crazy on the spot. Liu Yonglu had had enough of talking nonsense, so he thought he should get down to business. The curse of the saint was still there, and if he didn't find his clothes before the time was up, he would be left naked. Thinking of this, Liu Yonglu jumped over with his short legs. Halfway through the jump, he remembered that he was a mouse. He couldn't let the mouse gnaw on his feet and then be crushed to death. Anyway, just don't let her continue singing, I'll just mess with her. Thinking of this, Liu Yonglu jumped into the symphony orchestra from the side and went to the percussion group. How big could he be, a mouse? The performers in the symphony orchestra on the stage had long lost their minds in Medea's singing, and Medea didn't even see him. "A wondrous night with a black star rising, a wondrous moon moving through the night." "Great stage, Cangcai, Cangcai, Cangcai Cangcang..." "But even more amazing is the lost Carcosa." "Big big, big clothes, big big, big clothes..." "The song of the Hyades is unheard, and the king's rags are blown by the wind." "The great commander, the commander, the second commander, the great commander, the commander, the second commander..." "The song faded away silently in the dimness..." Medea couldn't sing anymore because there was always someone in the band disrupting her. How could she continue singing? She was also a little confused, her dark eyes glanced towards the ceiling, as if she could see through the roof, and seemed to want to ask questions to the unknown starry sky in order to find the answer to the question at hand. As for Liu Yonglu, he was still jumping. The percussion section in a symphony orchestra includes timpani, triangle, snare drum and cymbals. This time, they all became Liu Yonglu's trampoline. He rolled and jumped with his eyes closed, humming his own lines as he jumped, trying to find the rhythm for himself. When Medea shut up, Millie Tangke came back to her senses. She jumped onto a platform and waved in the direction of the band. Only then did Liu Yonglu get off the trampoline with a reluctant look on his face. He slid around the corner, climbed onto the dresser and finally jumped onto the cat. "Let's go. I'm hungry from all this jumping. I'll have to eat a whole portion of fries when I turn back around."
Millie Tang was in no mood to pay attention to Liu Yonglu. She turned around, jumped out of the low window and disappeared into the dark corridor. Before leaving, Liu Yonglu looked back at Medea who was still staring at the curtain. He had just seen an invitation letter when he turned over the dressing table. I had a copy of the invitation in my hand, which I took from Lewis's drawer. It's the invitation to the Sabines Forest gathering! The happy weekend has begun. Let’s read some books and have a good weekend. There will still be three updates on Monday. Tomorrow everyone please help me out and give me a kick.
