Little Huili's performance was stunning. Her performance was even better than many pianists when they were young.
She alternated between grace and madness for 20 minutes before she was stopped by the Phecda members. Nothing happened during this period, and other than the exhaustion of her muscles, her physical and mental state were all good.
"It's Mozart's The Magic Flute." The researcher who specialized in music recognized it after listening for a while. "But there's an adaptation and a speed up …"
The Magic Flute was composed in the last year of Mozart's life. It was also his last opera. It was considered the pinnacle of his work. The opera used many instruments and voices and it was as long as 2 acts. Little Huili was probably playing some kind of piano variation.
Mozart, 1756 – 1791, only lived to be 35. Some historians suspected he suffered from Tourette Syndrome and it was the illness that gave him inspiration.
There was no public verdict on the matter, and the cause of Mozart's death was still a mystery.
On the 30th of September, the premiere of The Magic Flute was announced. On the 20th of November, he was bedridden. His body was covered in rashes, swelling, pain and vomiting. On the morning of the 5th of December, the musical genius passed away. Based on the description of his illness, the Researcher came up with more than 100 reasons for his death.
However, certain things about Mozart were undisputed. For example, he was a member of the Freemasonry. He actively joined secret societies and was interested in studying magic, rituals and other occult things. The other composer of The Magic Flute, Schikaneder, was also a member of the Freemasonry. Due to the many occult symbols in the opera, it was considered the music of the Freemasonry.
Before the true power of darkness, the Freemasonry was just a bunch of outsiders. They were more of a secret social circle and interest group. They did not have a deep understanding of spells and rituals. Actually, if they did, they would not be accepted into the world of normal people.
Therefore, the Phecda members had a hypothesis. Since Mozart could not get what he wanted from the Freemasonry, could he have joined other secret societies?
Like … the R'yleh Cult?
What did The Magic Flute mean? What did Huili's performance of The Magic Flute mean?
"I don't know what song I was playing. I just felt like sneezing." Huili was clueless. Her mother, Song Fang, said that her daughter had only ever played the Turkish March. She had never heard of the Magic Flute or the Variations on the Magic Flute's Theme that Saul had adapted.
After Huili, Phecda conducted other experiments.
Little Huili was not the only one among the sick children who learned piano. Although they did not request to play the piano, they were excited as soon as they sat in front of the piano. Their parents and the others were shocked. What was even more shocking were the sick children who had never learned piano before … Little Huili was not the only one who learned piano.
These little girls all displayed a kind of talent in playing the piano, as well as a strong talent in spiritual knowledge.
If this was any other occasion, Elder Tong would have screamed with joy. He would have been happier than winning the Double Toned Ball, but this was not normal.
Even though the performer and the audience were fine for the time being, was this "Magic Flute" some kind of dark music? Would it encourage the forces of darkness? It was hard to say. However, once they were reminded of the unknown cause of Mozart's death, everyone shuddered.
Therefore, all information related to this opera was swiftly and silently banned by Phecda. All research had to be carried out with extreme caution.
On the evening of the 16th, Phecda made an announcement to stop broadcasting the cartoon.
Once the announcement was made, the pediatric emergency wards of all the hospitals in the country were overcrowded. If there was anything wrong with their child, the parents would rush to the emergency ward to seek treatment.
The number of children with Tourette Syndrome admitted to various hospitals skyrocketed. However, due to the disease's prevalence rate of 1% among preschool children, other than the few cities around Eastern State, the children who were diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome were gradually identified as normal children. Due to their lack of talent in piano, their twitching voices were just normal sounds.
Patients with abnormal Tourette Syndrome had some unique characteristics. They were little girls who listened to bedtime stories and the frequency of twitches was low.
By Friday the 18th, Phecda had confirmed 520 children in Eastern State. They maintained their unique characteristics, they were all girls aged 5 to 8.
Their twitches were getting more and more frequent. Initially, they would only twitch once in the morning and once at night before bedtime. Now, they would increase to 3 to 5 times a day. Their condition was getting worse. Whenever their voice twitched, it sounded like they were calling for Gu Jun, Gu Jun.
But on the 19th and 20th, the number did not increase, it stopped at 520.
If this started from Kedou's accident on Valentine's Day on the 14th, the number stopped at 520.
Gu Jun endured the splitting headache and listened to the latest news. A clearer idea formed in his mind, this was the 'little new year gift'.
These 520 children with extraordinary talents were just a small New Year's gift …
But would Phecda dare to accept this gift? These innocent little girls would be temporarily quarantined. Whether they were still sane or what they were now, no one knew. Furthermore, what could Phecda do with them? Listen to the voices of dreams like the R'yleh Cult?
520 children, cannibal fairy tales, Mozart, the Freemasonry and The Magic Flute, they were all filled with mockery and provocation.
The Magic Flute was a fairy tale opera. There were many theories on how it was adapted, but the most believable one was from the fairy tale LuLu's Magic Flute.
The opera was based on a fairy tale. The main character, Tamino, was bewitched by the Queen of the Night. He promised to go to the high priest Sarastro to rescue her daughter, Pamina. In the end, Tamino realized that the high priest was the good guy and the Queen of the Night was the bad guy, so he joined the high priest's side. After many trials, Tamino and Pamina finally defeated the Queen of the Night and her minions, and they were happily together.
The theme of the opera was light conquering darkness, kindness conquering evil, love conquering death, it was a classic fairy tale theme.
"This time, what we're facing …" Gu Jun told both Wu Shiyu and Tong Ye, "is probably pure evil."
This was a feeling that he had. The cultists often thought they had a great goal, they were pursuing the truth, they thought they were doing good. But now, he did not feel that from the 'big sister'. All he felt was freedom and recklessness.
Dragging the children into the darkness, causing the oak tree to collapse, killing people, it was all for the sake of fun, for him to see …
"I need to go to Eastern State to take a look." Gu Jun told Tong Ye, "I need to go back."
"Ah Jun, your body …" Tong Ye hesitated.
"Do I have a choice?" Gu Jun asked. "Those bastards are after me. If I do not show myself, who knows what that 'big sister' of mine will do."
The girls' condition worsened every day. It was like there was a countdown clock ticking over his head.
When the time came, he might not die, but many innocent and cute children would.
He needed to go back and see if he could help them find a breakthrough.
