The sea of aurora violently surged in the sky, like souls jumping for joy in the light. Their applause didn't have sound, actually in another world resembled thunder.
That red-clad figure standing tall above the ruins, at this moment was currently quietly standing there, like a Thespian on a curtain call Stage, currently embracing and enjoying applause... Along with the approach of numerous Calamities, his enjoyment abruptly stopped.
His head twisted three hundred and sixty degrees, looking at the menacing Calamities behind him. Suddenly opening his mouth, mouth and tongue bursting thunder:
"Tai!!!"
This single syllable in an instant swept across the entire piece of ruins. Chen Ling's voice as if having some kind of magic power, knocked at the souls of all people and Calamities... At the same time, in that pair of hollow pupils, the scarlet solely belonging to The Audience lit up anew!
The numerous Calamities paused, because this time, they genuinely felt the "World-Ending" Aura emitted from Chen Ling's body. That was an Aura even more terrifying than the existence deep in the Forbidden Sea. Beneath that human husk, laid hidden a malevolent and mysterious scarlet monster...
Under a light glance of that pair of eyes, the angry fire originally burning in the Calamities' hearts, suddenly extinguished. A burst of indescribable terror occupied their souls!
They stood tall everywhere in the ruins, turning their heads looking towards the depths of the Forbidden Sea, for a time not knowing what was best to do.
But at this time, the depths of the Forbidden Sea was also silent;
A crisp sound of palm clap broke the depressing dead silence,
Only seeing that figure draped in Great Crimson Theatrical Robe, suddenly lifting both hands above his head to clap, then stepping apart both legs to squat down. With a kind of extremely weird posture facing the numerous Calamities, forcefully hooking his palm...
"Wa ya ya ya ya ya ya!!!!"
Sharp and meaningless sounds rang out from his throat. Like an old general on a theater stage, currently glaring facing the enemy, while moving position while emitting an angry roar.
Under the intimidation of this sound, a few Calamities instantly were scared quite heavily. The terror in their hearts became increasingly dense. They even could clearly feel that scarlet monster was currently emitting killing intent... That sound that made one tremble, was provocation and contempt towards them.
They step by step retreated backward, not daring to approach that red-clad figure the slightest bit. And the weirdness only just started;
Smear after smear of exaggerated and bright colors flashed on Chen Ling's hollow face, intertwining into Markings with entirely different temperaments. The five painted faces of "Male Lead", "Female Lead", "Painted Face Role", "Secondary Male Role", "Clown" crazily flashed. His Aura also changed and changed again. His mouth corners weirdly raised up during this process...
"This is..." In the ruins in the distance, King of Clubs saw this scene, pupils slightly shrinking.
Still hasn't waited for the crowd to see clearly what Chen Ling's final face was, his both hands then abruptly shielded his own face. That feeling of disorder and weirdness also abruptly stopped.
Sobbing wind sound blew past the dead silent ruins. He was just like a red sculpture, standing tall there for ten something seconds.
In the crowd and Calamities' near-heartbeat-stopping waiting, he moved.
He abruptly opened his both arms!
A black face was exposed in the air!
That was a pitch-black face seemingly resembling an abyss. Face skin and five sense organs as if all swallowed. At the position of the eyes on that face, a pair of scarlet pupils weirdly opened. The red curved moon-like mouth below hooked up an exaggerated smile, smiling splitting all the way to the position of the ear roots... Senran, mocking, making one's scalp turn numb.
That was The Audience's face.
King of Clubs's expression instantly became incomparably awful. Her pair of brows tightly twisted together, not knowing what she was thinking about...
And the other Calamities, were even more scared quite heavily. An array of ripples transmitted from the depths of the Forbidden Sea. The few Calamities in the ruins seemingly received some kind of command, immediately turning their heads to leave, retreating all the way outside the city wall.
That figure moved. He bore a mocking black smiling face, draped in Great Crimson Theatrical Robe, with some kind of rhythmic footsteps elegantly advancing forward,
His broad scarlet sleeves danced in the wind. Along with the black snowflakes fluttering falling on his shoulder, his body as if having no weight at all. Like a red butterfly in this gray world, dancing alone in the unmanned street ruins.
His tiptoes tapped past pieces of scorched black, like a dragonfly tapping past fallen leaves in the water. That was every single corpse that was burned into ashes in the Explosion, the position originally located at.
He danced amidst the souls of the deceased.
""I... see the sky crying,""
The voice rang out from Chen Ling's throat, bringing some kind of rhythm, echoing in the sky above the ruins.
These simple eight words, actually made King of Clubs's pupils abruptly shrink. She astonishedly looked at that silently dancing red-clad figure, eyes full of disbelief!
""I heard there is your voice";"
""I smell longing blooming in thorns,""
""I walk over from the direction of sunset"..."
Consecutively four lines ringing out. This time, even the Dusk Society crowd outside Aurora City, their expressions all changed.
"Requiem Ballad???" [10] abruptly turned his head looking towards the city ruins. "Who is singing Requiem Ballad??"
"It's a man's voice... not that person?"
"In the world those who can sing the Requiem Ballad, should only be those four people... But the other few aren't in the Aurora Domain, nor is it that person singing... Then who else could it be??"
"In this world, there is still a fifth person who can sing the Requiem Ballad?"
"Wait, this voice... how come it sounds a bit familiar?"
Chu Muyun and Bai Ye looked towards the direction of the city ruins, seemingly thinking of something, pupils unconsciously shrinking...
...
""The great earth and rose red are your hotbeds,""
""Frost and snow and setting sun are your heavy makeup";"
""I will weave hope into dancing kapok flowers,""
""Until the rocks engrave the flower fragrance.""
""Crying Child ah,""
""Please softly close both eyes";"
""Wait until dusk calls the curtain in the darkest era,""
""I will promise you morning glow and blue sky.""
The red-clad figure following the sound of the ballad, lonely danced amidst the souls of the deceased. One step could cross nearly a hundred meters,
He roamed above the dead silent ice-sealed ruins. Not at all caring about other people's gazes. Like a person in a play immersed in a Performance Stage.
When the final line of the ballad fell, he seemingly lost all strength. The black smiling face gradually faded away. His whole person from the peak of an over a hundred meters towering broken wall, pitched headfirst towards the scorched black great earth...
Right at the instant his forehead was about to crash onto the great earth, a crook of an arm steadily caught his figure.
King of Clubs looked at the thoroughly comatose Chen Ling. Entanglement and complexity flashed in her eyes. After being silent for a long time, still shook her head, bringing him straight walking towards outside the city.
"You truly want to save him?" a voice rang out from behind.
King of Clubs stopped her footsteps. On the ruins behind her, a red-haired woman draped in an Enforcer windbreaker, was quietly gazing at her.
"If I were you, I would kill him right now... The thing in his body is absolutely not simple. Not only having threat towards humanity, to you Dusk Society it is also similarly so." Hong Xiu spoke anew in a deep voice.
