Their Performances
In a theater with only one person.
The light was dim, as if the sunlight outside had transformed into night and hung low into the dark room.
The only beam of light, like the tranquil moonlight, illuminated the stage.
Wala Wala stood there, her whole being seemingly draped in a layer of silver gauze.
At that moment, everything in reality seemed to disappear from the girl's azure pupils, even Linsey in the audience vanished.
She took a deep breath:
"I stand alone under the lamplight, a solitary figure in the night."
"The city is teeming with people, but here it is quiet and dark, and no one is listening to this nocturne."
"My heart beats loud, my soul shines bright, I sing not for them, but only in this land of love that echoes in the night."
Wala Wala tilted her fair neck back, her lips trembling slightly.
The singing grew from soft to loud, like a ray of dawn sunlight piercing through the darkness and illuminating the entire theater.
The full voice seemed to contain endless power!
Sometimes it is a soft, melodious murmur, like a lament, like a dream; sometimes it is passionate and soaring, like a thunderclap, shaking people's hearts.
"May my song become the south wind, passing through this empty hall."
"A story that carries love and loss, the sweet and dramatic ups and downs of life."
"In this solitary lament, lies the melody into which I pour out my heart, each note bearing the weight of my pain."
The song ended as the chorus began.
When emotions run high, the Source Material Skill of Wala Wala are also activated.
The dimly lit stage was filled with hazy light and shadow, as if reflecting a dark corner of a lonely city.
Only the girl was standing here.
She opened her arms and continued to sing slowly, "I touch the notes beyond the stars, and a passionate symphony sings in the depths of my soul."
"The red dress blooms like a rose, and the body dances to the music."
"Every gesture, every sway, is a language of longing and victory!"
The singing of "Wala Wala" became even more passionate.
Every lyric she sang resonated perfectly deep within the listener's soul, stirring ripples of emotion.
The emotions in the play, like an invisible hand, guide people's thoughts.
It brings the audience into the world of the song.
Then comes another chorus. "Oh, may my song be the flame that ignites the dark stage, illuminating the path where dreams and destiny intertwine!"
"In this solitary lament, I lay bare my heart without reservation."
"Every breath I take is proof of my dedication!"
The world shaped by the songs is more profound.
There, love, joy and sorrow, separation and reunion, life and death intertwine to create vivid scenes that immerse people in the experience, making it impossible for them to extricate themselves.
The figure of the Wala Wala also changes with the emotional ups and downs of the song.
She seemed to be touching a melody, her delicate movements revealing an elegance and composure that transcended worldly concerns.
Its movements are sometimes as graceful as a swan, and sometimes as fiery as a flame.
The girl's fingers also drew graceful arcs in the air.
She seemed to be conducting an unseen symphony orchestra, her melancholy eyes sometimes closed, sometimes open.
A complete immersion leads to a more profound performance.
Every smile, every tear, blends seamlessly with the song, elevating its emotional impact! "... I sing for love, for art, for all that has passed, in this sacred and silent place, my soul dances and is forever embraced."
The last note vanished into the air.
The theater fell silent again.
Wala Wala stood quietly on the stage, casting a confident smile at Linsey.
Thanks for watching!
Clap! Clap! Clap! The only audience member naturally gave a full round of applause.
The performances by the actors in the theater just now were already breathtaking.
Having witnessed the performance of Wala Wala, a former leading lady of the theater, Linsey was deeply moved.
"Linsey, am I the only one performing?"
At that moment, Wala Wala on the stage winked at Linsey below.
She waved her hand gently, as if issuing a challenge. "Come on, come on up!"
"Let me see how much your skills have improved during this time."
"..."
Linsey certainly wouldn't mind playing with Wala Wala.
He dragged a chair onto the stage, plopped down on it, and the violin he had made earlier was brought out.
Linsey chose the most classic and least likely to go wrong song.
He began to play the melody of the Moonlight Sonata.
squeak--
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Linsey had barely sung the first note when Wala Wala immediately called a halt.
"Compared to this classical style, I'd like to hear your music that's full of inner passion and truly expresses the mood!"
"Linsey, let's choose another one!"
Linsey glanced at Wala Wala helplessly. "Alright, alright, then I'll give you a piece you've never heard before."
"Hmm—something new?"
The next second.
The melody of "Counting Stars" came from Linsey's fingertips.
The Ruthless Player's ability allowed him to imitate the melody with unparalleled precision.
The eerie, ruthless mechanical feeling was something even Linsey, who was used to pop songs, found hard to get used to.
So he started singing the lyrics, trying to change the listening experience.
Ruthless Player will erase the emotion from his playing; surely singing will do?
"Lately, I've been tossing and turning, unable to sleep. My mind keeps wandering to the visions we once had."
"But my dear, I have already prayed deep in my heart that I will no longer lose myself in the pursuit of money..."
Linsey performed the classic "Counting Stars".
His idea was correct.
Although the piano music was cold and indifferent, the singing, despite its clumsiness, revealed a genuine emotion.
Wala Wala listened attentively from the side.
Time slips away unnoticed.
After the song was finished, Wala Wala also applauded, and then said to Linsey, "Linsey, I really like this kind of song."
"The expression of emotions is straightforward and pure, and the melody is also more catchy."
The girl then suggested, "How about this—you play the instrument, and I'll sing. Let's try collaborating?"
Linsey took a moment to look at the abilities displayed on the Sheet Music for this piece.
"Counting Stars" - Clears a negative status effect, increases Willpower, and boosts Courage.
Great, this effect won't cause any trouble.
Linsey then nodded:
"Of course, no problem!"
Then, Linsey read the lyrics aloud.
He then played the instrument, Wala Wala sang.
The melody of the piece was precisely presented by the power of the Ruthless Player, and the artistry of Wala Wala also helped her quickly understand the lyrics and melody.
Even though it was only her first time listening to and memorizing the lyrics, the girl was able to perform them in her best condition! In an instant.
The theater, which was quiet and sacred just minutes before, has become full of vibrant energy and vitality.
As long as someone is standing here.
It was as if all the dark emotions in their hearts were instantly driven away and dissipated! Linsey and Wala Wala had a great time.
And while the two were engrossed in playing the music together.
In the empty theater, people followed the singing and gradually filled the empty seats.
