Lin Sanjiu did not expect that after so many years of the apocalypse, she would once again be able to witness human art from the past.
The theater was engulfed in darkness. Only the center of the stage was illuminated by a few intersecting spotlights. It looked like an island of light floating in the darkness. A slender woman with a skirt trailing behind her was standing in the sea of light. Her eyelashes and hair were reflected in the light. She was raising her head and closing her eyes, sending the last note high into the air. Her voice rushed out of the sea of light and reverberated under the dark dome like waves crashing into a cliff.
It seemed to have become a tradition in the Twelve Worlds to stage musicals, solo singers, or other forms of art before an auction. If Lin Sanjiu had only seen the scene before her, she would have suspected that she was still in a world where the apocalypse had yet to arrive. It was only when the majestic and powerful voice swept through her soul like a tidal wave that Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and realized that the singer was indeed a posthuman.
The voice of an ordinary person would never be able to create such a powerful impact.
The voice from a foreign world seemed to have penetrated the human body and tugged at every nerve of the listeners. It washed through the depths of their souls and made them shudder involuntarily. Tears welled up in their eyes.
The voice did not have any real effect. One of the evolved abilities of the female singer was to amplify the impact of her voice by a thousand times. However, after she stopped singing for a long time, the silent theater burst into applause. Even though they had evolved to this stage, they were still human.
They were still human, and they could still be affected by some kind of spiritual impact.
Even Lin Sanjiu, who was not in a good condition, couldn't help but stand up and applaud with the crowd. The lights in the private rooms next to her flickered continuously, illuminating their faces again and again. Silvan lowered his head and whispered into her ear, "That is a token of appreciation for the singer and performer. It is a spiritual experience that can make one's soul tremble. I think it is only right to give them a token of appreciation."
His breath tickled her, and she turned her head just in time to see him press a button on the railing. A beam of light instantly dyed the small box white. Unlike the other boxes, this light did not go out for a long time. It even caused a wave of hushed whispers in the theater. The female singer turned her gaze and when she saw Silvan in the distance, she was startled. Then, she lowered her head slightly and expressed her gratitude just like before.
After she disappeared from the stage for a few minutes, Lin Sanjiu sat back down on the sofa and asked in a low voice, "Your performance was great, but … you only have three more times left, right? Who do you want to pass it on to? "
"Don't worry, I've already made plans."
Silvan sat on the other armchair and stretched his long legs out in front of her. The dim light illuminated his side profile and drew a thin line of light along his blond hair, nose, lips, and Adam's apple.
Lin Sanjiu nodded thoughtfully. However, before she could say anything, he suddenly turned his head and said, "But, I don't want to touch other people's lips." Lin Sanjiu nodded thoughtfully. "But, I don't like to touch other people's lips.
"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She immediately frowned, "You can't do that!"
"Listen to me," he said in an intimate and melodious voice, as if he was whispering into her ear. "You don't have to touch someone's lips to pass it on."
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu faintly heard Mrs. Manas's words. She seemed to have given up on shouting and just kept repeating the same sentence, "Think about it. What is it that you want to pass on?"
It seemed like a good question, but unfortunately, it did not stay in Lin Sanjiu's mind. She forgot about it in the blink of an eye. Like the surface of the water blown by the wind, it left no trace behind. Lin Sanjiu looked at Silvan with disapproval, "What are you trying to …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a series of footsteps that were getting closer and closer. It was definitely not Yu Yuan. Lin Sanjiu could clearly recognize the sound of his heels tapping on the floor. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw the female singer at the entrance of the private room.
As she walked, the long dress on her body shimmered faintly in the dark like a starry sky. Unlike her strong and powerful voice, this female singer had a rather sweet face. She knocked on the door and smiled at the two of them.
"Thank you for your generosity just now," she spoke in a calm and gentle voice, making it hard for Lin Sanjiu to imagine her singing voice, "Thank you very much."
Lin Sanjiu had no idea how generous Silvan was. The female singer could tell that Lin Sanjiu was just here to join in the fun, but she was still very polite. Her gaze swept across Silvan a few times, and her face suddenly flushed. "Really … Really … Is it the officer from the Munitions Factory?"
"Yes, you are too polite," the blonde man looked straight into her eyes and said with a chuckle, "Actually, you didn't have to come up."
"No … I've always known you." The female singer was very comfortable under the gazes of thousands of people, but at this time, she looked a little uncomfortable. She lowered her head slightly. "To tell you the truth, I … Actually … Anyway, I'm very happy that you like my performance."
It was obvious that she had hesitated and rephrased her words a few times.
"Come, have a seat." Silvan stood up and pulled a sofa for her. The female singer sat down uneasily. He swirled the glass of wine in front of him and smiled, "Would you like some wine?"
The female singer nodded. She did not expect that he would pass her the glass that he had taken a few sips from. Lin Sanjiu and the female singer were stunned for a moment. However, the female singer quickly took the glass with her head lowered. She was obviously too embarrassed to drink it. She held the glass tightly and stared at a spot on the floor. Her body seemed to be tensed up.
She lowered her head, so naturally, she did not see the two people beside her staring at the glass in her hand. They only moved their eyes away after a long while.
After exchanging glances with Lin Sanjiu, Silvan leaned forward slightly and whispered something to the female singer.
While they were chatting, Lin Sanjiu could only sit at the side and watch them without saying a word. She didn't know if she was like a light bulb or if she had blended into the darkness and suddenly disappeared. After the two of them chatted for a while, Silvan suddenly raised his head and glanced at her.
She was instantly energized.
"Is he finally going to get down to business?"
"I hurt my finger just now," Silvan chuckled intimately. He put his index finger into his lips and sucked on it. "It hurts. Look at it if you don't believe me."
The female singer stared at him blankly as if she had lost her soul. When he brought his finger to her lips, she tensed up and her skin flushed. She hesitated for half a second before she opened her mouth and sucked on the tip of his finger.
"Much better." Silvan smiled. "How do you feel now?"
The female singer sat there in a daze. The blush on her face gradually faded away. The shyness and awkwardness on her face faded away and was replaced by a look of realization. She looked at Lin Sanjiu and then at Silvan. She nodded calmly, "I understand."
Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh of relief. Even though he didn't touch her lips, he had successfully spread the word.
"I know you have a lot of admirers and fans in the Twelve Worlds Centrum," Silvan said gently, "That's why I came to you."
"Three times, right?" The female singer pondered for a moment before she smiled at both of them, "I can spread the word within an hour."
"I believe that you have the ability to do so," Silvan said softly, "Can you help me find two more girls?"
"Lin Sanjiu!"
While they were talking, Mrs. Manas' voice suddenly became louder. Lin Sanjiu was startled, but she heard Mrs. Manas' voice grow weaker, lower, and muffled again, "It's not a good idea to … spread the word …"
'What is she trying to say? Can't she wait until I'm done with business? '
Lin Sanjiu let out a long sigh, a little annoyed. When she turned around, she realized that the singer had already left. Silvan was leaning lazily against the back of the sofa, sipping the wine in his glass bit by bit. Feeling her gaze, he turned around and smiled. "Maybe the next girl will obediently drink my wine … That will save me a lot of trouble."
She frowned and looked at him without saying a word.
"What's wrong? There are still at least three to four hours before the auction ends. In this period of time, everyone in the theater will be … "Silvan's brows furrowed slightly as he said this. He seemed to be at a loss for words," Will be … "
'Maybe that's the problem. ' 'By what? '
"I have a feeling that there is something wrong with us," Lin Sanjiu said softly, "What about you? Do you have that feeling? "
"Yes, there is something different." In the darkness, the pair of dark green eyes that looked at her were like the surface of a lake hidden in the shade. "But I don't know if it is' wrong '."
She bit her lip and pondered for a while. Then, she heard footsteps coming from outside. Silvan was quite famous in the Twelve Worlds Centrum, and there were plenty of girls who were infatuated with him. To him, this task was a piece of cake. Soon, another beautiful face appeared outside the private room.
After all, only beautiful men and women had a higher chance of kissing someone.
What happened next was just as Silvan had predicted.
Two hours later, Lin Sanjiu started to notice that something was wrong in the theater. In the darkness, more and more people gave up watching the auction. They walked back and forth among the seats, looking for their next "prey". Finally, halfway through the auction, the woman who won the bid suddenly pulled the auctioneer over and kissed him on the lips. It was like a signal that sent the entire theater into an eerie silence.
Everyone seemed to have understood what was going on.
The guests looked at each other, but no one said a word. No one urged the auctioneer to move on to the next item, and the auctioneer did not look at the items anymore.
