After registering in front of the elevator, Huai Shi entered the waiting area and found a place to sit down.
Accustomed to the pressure, Huai Shi took his time to look at the violin score. But as time passed and the people in front of him entered the examination room one by one, Huai Shi became more and more nervous.
It was like the college entrance examination. No matter how good you were at your studies, you would inevitably have to walk in fear.
Compared to the girl next to him who was holding the violin and was about to cry, Huai Shi felt that his psychological quality was good.
But he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Especially in his heart, he didn't know why, but there was a bad premonition that made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
He actually felt a little flustered for the first time in a long time.
In the silence, Huai Shi suddenly stood up and attracted a lot of attention. He smiled stiffly: "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."
He walked stiffly, completely unaware that he was walking all the way.
It was reflected in the monitor screen.
.
Exam Room 8.
"Thank you for your participation, miss. It was a very good performance."
Examiner James took off his glasses and walked over to shake hands with the female examinee whose eyes were a little red. He helped her up and said in a gentle tone: "The exam is over. We will make a careful evaluation of your performance later."
James, who was in his thirties, was tall and had a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. His smile was amiable. Although the ABRSM exam was strict, as an examiner, he would try his best to create a stable environment for the students to play. He had also seen a lot of things like this.
After gently comforting the examinee, James sent the examinee out of the examination room.
He sorted out the previous examinee's score a little, glanced at today's schedule, and rubbed the corner of his eyes tiredly.
The professional performance exam generally took more than two hours. It was also a very energy-consuming thing for the examiner. Before starting, James also had to rest for a while.
"Huai Shi?"
He scrutinized the examinee's profile and sighed as he looked at the handsome face on it.
He was younger than he thought.
He didn't rest for long when the phone on the table rang. After picking up the phone, he was stunned.
"A temporary change of examiner?" He frowned unhappily. "Why didn't the committee inform me?"
"It happens sometimes, doesn't it?" said the voice on the phone.
"That only applies during the training period for new examiners. Leona, you know, this is against the rules, and it will affect my work..."
"Jaime, you owe me one."
After listening to his nagging, the female voice on the phone became serious. "Do me a favor. I'll help you during the year-end rating."
"…"
In the silence, James was the first to admit defeat. He tugged at his tie impatiently. "Don't go too far, Leona. Otherwise, I'll report it to the committee."
'Take it easy, my dear. No one's going to embarrass you. You just have to sit in your office and have a little rest, 'she said.' You'll have your cake at tea later. '
Pa!
The call was cut off.
In the silence, it was as if a soap bubble had been popped.
With Huai Shi's entrance, in just a few minutes, all the security personnel in the building were quickly replaced. More and more unfamiliar faces appeared in the building. They knocked down the original staff, sealed their mouths, tied them up, and violently threw them into the storage room. After changing into new uniforms, they walked to their posts with genial smiles.
.
.
"Huai Shi, come on, you can do it!"
After washing his face for five minutes, Huai Shi finally calmed down. He clenched his fists and encouraged himself in the mirror.
Unfortunately, the reflection in the mirror did not look excited. Although the dark circles caused by staying up late disappeared, after washing his face with cold water for a long time, his face looked even paler.
Against the gloomy aura of Hillghost, he looked like he was going to die on the spot.
After staring at himself for a long time, Huai Shi felt a little discouraged and did not dare to look at himself anymore. Fortunately, his mood finally calmed down a lot. On the way back, he also splurged on the vending machine and bought two bottles of hot drinks, one for drinking and the other to warm his hands.
I can pass.
I can pass.
How can I not pass …
Huai Shi frantically encouraged himself and comforted himself. As long as nothing unexpected happens, this exam is in the bag!
Then, something unexpected happened …
"Huai Shi!"
Behind him, a voice sounded with surprise and joy, "It's really you!"
Huai Shi turned around in surprise and only saw a familiar old man. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before.
"Uh … who are you?"
The graceful old man's face twitched visibly. Elder Zhao, who had not appeared in the Book of Destiny, showed a helpless expression.
"We met at your school's anniversary celebration …"
Huai Shi was stunned and his heart tightened. He suddenly realized why this old man looked so familiar — wasn't this the face on his introductory cello textbook?!
Why did it seem like he had seen him before?
Recalling his past transgressions at the school's anniversary celebration, his heart suddenly tightened again. What did that woman Crow do with his face?!
He reached into his pocket and quickly flipped through the records left by Crow. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, thank goodness, it was only drugged …
After understanding the cause and effect, he immediately got up and squeezed out a smile, "Uh, Elder Zhao, long time no see. I was a little nervous and did not recognize you. Why are you here? "
With both hands, he respectfully handed over a pot of hot grapefruit tea.
The boss drank tea.
"It's okay, I can understand."
Elder Zhao took the tea and generously patted him on the shoulder. He really cherished this kind of junior with a limitless future, "When Richard told me that he saw your name on the public list at the entrance, I didn't dare to believe it. I repeatedly confirmed with the front desk several times —
Don't be nervous, are you confident? "
Huai Shi forced herself to remain firm and grinned. "Isn't this kind of exam a guaranteed success?"
"Oh, that's good." Elder Zhao nodded slightly and suddenly said something out of the blue, "I was worried that you would blame me for being a busybody."
"Hmm?"
Huai Shi was alerted. He subconsciously turned around and saw the smile on Elder Zhao's face.
The feeling of unease in his heart suddenly became stronger.
Then, he saw a group of white, black, and yellow old men and old women magically appear beside Elder Zhao. Some of the faces were familiar, but some were completely unfamiliar. However, they all looked at him with a smile that made Huai Shi even more uneasy.
"Let me introduce you."
Elder Zhao put down the hot grapefruit tea in his hand and pointed at the fat old man at the front and said, "This is the famous performer Mr. Newman who happened to be in Xin Hai for the fourth Chopin Music Conference."
"… Oh."
Huai Shi shook hands with the old man who walked up and then heard him say, "This is Mr. Li, the principal conductor of the Dongxia Jinling Philharmonic Orchestra."
Another old man who was often seen on the cover of textbooks walked over and patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically. "Not bad, young man."
"Hmm?" Huai Shi was confused.
Elder Zhao continued to introduce, "This is the person in charge of ABRSM in Jinling, Ms. Vivian …"
"This is the principal cellist of the Venice Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Schlauder …"
"This is the organizer of the world music and art tour in Vienna …"
"This is the vice president of the Dongxia Artists Association, Ms. Li …"
"This is the London Academy of Arts …"
"This is the American …"
"This is …"
It was as if Elder Zhao was announcing the names of the 16 old men and women. Elder Zhao only ended the introduction when Huai Shi was still in a daze.
The group of old men and women, who came from almost 40% of the music families in the world, looked at Huai Shi as if they were looking at a rare treasure. They surrounded Huai Shi and sighed with amazement.
"Speaking of which, it's really too coincidental.
The fat old man Newman looked around at his companions, and finally his eyes fell on the trembling rookie Huai Shi. "Mr. Huai, we just heard from Mr. Zhao that your superb talent and charisma are not inferior to Ms. Ai Ting's. It's really incredible. I didn't expect there to be a second genius like Ai Ting!"
"What?" Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
Ai Ting?
He seemed to have heard the name before, but he couldn't remember.
Immediately afterward, Professor Richard from the American Music History Society showed a warm smile and said, "This is the last thing I'm going to tell you.
"So, please be sure to let us watch this exam."
Meow meow meow?
Huai Shi, who had been completely petrified, opened her mouth wide, and her eyes widened to the size of two.
What the hell are you doing!
Now, he finally figured out the identity of this group of people. His knees suddenly went soft. Are you kidding me? Please go upstairs and attend the Chopin Music Seminar. Don't mess around, okay?
What the hell is this?
Is this an examination room or an international classical music festival?
You should pay attention. If someone throws an RPG here, it will be on the BBC headlines in five minutes. Before tomorrow, more than a third of the world's musicians will have to wear mourning clothes!
Huai Shi suddenly felt his vision go dark.
It was as if he saw the holy light shining on shit.

In the monitoring room, it was cold at the moment. Under the monitoring of several computers and hundreds of cameras, all the information in the entire building was methodically summarized in one place.
"Team One is in position."
"Team Two is in position."
"Reserve team is in position."
"The collection has entered."
"The professor has successfully entered and has begun to contact the collection. What about the others?"
In the monitoring room, the ghoul captain picked up the walkie-talkie. "There's a little more interference. Be careful not to hurt the innocent. Is Bait No. 1 coming now?"
"Already outside the door."
The surveillance outside the field turned to a screen. On the screen was Fu Yi herself holding a cup of milk tea, but...
The captain frowned and asked in confusion.
"Who's the person next to her?"
