The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 410: "The Darkest"

No matter how bad the situation is, the piano still makes the same sound.

When I was very young, I was reminded of myself by playing Moonlight·1902 on the boat.

Whether it is sunny or rainy, or the cruise ship is bumpy.

No matter today is full of guests, or very few...

Press the keys with your fingers and the piano will always sound exactly the same.

The piano neither mourns nor trembles with fear—

It's the best performer.

Therefore, Moonlight also reminded myself, reminding myself over and over again...

To be worthy of a piano, one must become a "piano" himself.

So, he spent every "thrilling" moment in his life.

Whether it's your first performance, the challenge of the so-called "Father of Jazz", or meeting Winnie...

He always reminded himself that when a "piano" is struck, the same sound is produced.

Today, the habit still works.

Although he realized that he might not survive this performance, Moonlight still played with passion and expressiveness no less than any performance in his life.

"The Carnival of Yesterday".

Shatuoama's maid has been humming softly, affecting the subconscious of the audience, making them resist the music played by others.

But, strangely enough, even in such a negative environment, the audience got a taste of the charm of the Moonlight performance.

Someone danced to the music.

In the shadows in the background, three exotic musicians exchanged glances, and then closed their eyes at the same time—

The three mourning singers substituted their thoughts into the three maids, and directly provided their singing with their own spiritual power...

The crooning that cannot be heard directly distorts Moonlight's performance after all.

Although the pianist is very devoted to his performance, and his technique is exquisite...

However, the audience still felt inexplicably disgusted.

They hope to hear the vicissitudes of "The Faraway Ancient Country" again, not such "noisy" music.

Finally, those audiences who couldn't help but want to dance were also affected.

The feeling of wanting to jump disappeared, and a puzzled expression appeared on their faces.

Although I can't point out what's wrong with the music of the performers on the stage, they just don't like it.

Contrary to the audience who gradually calmed down, the undead in the cemetery who appeared due to yesterday's carnival still danced wildly—they, as the dead, will not be affected by Shatuoama's maid in the slightest .

As if sensing the weird atmosphere off the stage, Moonlight opened his eyes and looked at the audience.

He saw confusion on their faces, as if he didn't know what expression to choose.

Some people have already frowned, feeling visibly irritable...

"Sure enough, can't it still work?" Moonlight still played affectionately, as if even if no one in this world knew how to appreciate his performance, he would resolutely continue to play.

However, there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Sean, Winnie, Dad... and the lovely Aaliyah...

"Am I going to die here?"

Finally, a rude man in the audience hissed:

"You play so badly, get off stage!"

In the distance, the figures of the three maids in black and pointed hats became extremely tall, like silent mountains in the night.

Since its debut, Moonlight has never been booed except for being interrupted by a drunk.

The increasingly uncontrollable dissatisfaction in the audience gave him some fresh experiences.

However, the pianist is still a little unwilling to accept this fatal ending.

After mastering the second chapter of "Anonymous Nocturne", "Belonging to Yesterday's Carnival", Moonlight has already started to study the climax of the Nocturne Suite-the third chapter named "The Darkest".

However, no matter how he plays it, whether he plays it in his head or in front of a real piano...

Even Moonlight discovered that this couldn't be called a song at all.

Because it does not conform to the basic music theory, the so-called "Darkness" is simply unbearable.

If it is forcibly played, it will be just a series of dissonant notes.

And ironically, judging by the arrangement of the suite, and the length and complexity of The Darkest itself...

This unplayable third chapter is undoubtedly the most exciting part of "Nocturne without a Name".

If Bernard Shaw hadn't made such a ruthless joke, Moonlight believed that such a piece of music could completely compete with "The Faraway Ancient Country".

It is a pity that it seems that the young composer was insane when he created this piece of music, otherwise it would not be able to explain the messiness and absurdity of the third movement.

Therefore, even if Moonlight wanted to fight back with the best chapter of Nocturne, he couldn't.

At this moment, when he was inevitably sliding towards the end of being swallowed by the flames, Moonlight couldn't help but think of this song again when he thought about his own situation.

"The deepest darkness..." He thought with a wry smile, "Isn't this my current situation?

"if…

"If I can understand the secret of that strange score, maybe there is still a chance?"

The last time, while playing, Moonlight tried to recall the score.

The Darkest...what is its secret?

The audience, like a black cloud, let out a low grunt before the roar.

Shatuoama's handmaiden had them firmly in their grip, and they had lost patience.

Looking at the disgruntled audience, as well as the figures of the undead dancing in the crowd due to "Yesterday's Carnival", Moonlight suddenly felt alienated and absurd——

Three mountain peaks in the miserable green mist.

Foolish people under the three peaks.

Dancing phantoms among a ignorant people...

What I saw in front of me seemed to be a paradoxical oil painting full of metaphors.

Staring at this "oil painting", the pianist suddenly frowned...

Before, regarding "The Darkest", he had been thinking about a problem.

If we only look at the first two chapters, George Bernard Shaw obviously arranged "Anonymous Nocturne" according to the timeline—

The first chapter "Prelude to the Undead" describes a young pianist playing in a cemetery under the new moon. The gate of Hades is opened, and a golden apple that represents death and new life emerges, all of which awaken the cemetery. undead...

In the second chapter "The Carnival Belonging to Yesterday", the line of sight has moved into the cemetery, and the awakened souls, amidst the sound of the piano changing into dance music, began to dance and sway to their heart's content...

Logically speaking, the most exciting third chapter should depict the climax of this weird dance...

According to Moonlight's understanding, the climax of this carnival on the border of life and death should be as dazzling and dazzling as grand fireworks, making anyone who is lucky enough to witness this dance party unforgettable...

But…

In the third chapter, why did it suddenly take a sharp turn, from carnival to "Darkest"?

Did the carnival end so hastily?

Before, thinking about the third chapter was forced to stop here, and there was no progress.

But at this moment, seeing the scene in front of him, Moonlight suddenly had a new understanding.

He saw the resentful living, and the reveling dead—

They are separated by yin and yang, and they are people from two worlds.

And people in these two worlds have completely different reactions to the same thing.

so…?

So, what the living consider "darkness" is exactly "light" in the eyes of the dead?

The so-called "deepest darkness" is the most blazing light for the dead?

Life and death are relative.

The living and the undead have completely opposite understandings of the world.

That is to say...

A flash of light instantly illuminates the score in Moonlight's mind.

In his mind ~lightnovelpub.net~ the sheet of sheepskin curly score under the lamp was turned around, and he began to read that sheet music from the reverse side of the paper through the penetration of light.

A series of smooth and beautiful piano sounds flowed in my mind...

I see!

Life and death are relative!

The deepest darkness is not the abrupt end of the carnival, but the climax of the carnival!

If you want to play this music score for living people to listen to, you can only look at the music score in reverse!

Under the stage, the sound of the piano at this moment could no longer soothe the manipulated audience. Some people began to growl, which led other audience members to shout.

And Moonlight, a pianist from the ocean, a Queen-level explorer who has obtained the custom-made mask of "Soloist under the Moon", with a light wrist rotation and agile fingers, transitioned the music to a brand new third chapter...

"The Darkest".
