Quickly Wear The Face Of The Devil

FOD Chap 14.10

Chapter 14.10

Because the event was broadcasted live on the internet and on television, Zhou Yun Sheng's performance could be heard by music lovers around the world. The performances of the players after him completely couldn't hold their interest, after his song, they flocked onto social media platforms to post their views.

"I thought Hannah would definitely be the champion for this competition, and naturally she shocked the audience as soon as she came out. If you didn't know, the 'La Campanella' she played is one of the five 'Transcendental Etudes'. At that time I thought: Oh no Hannah, that's too cruel, how will the other contestants live? Look, even the Piano King's sister hasn't shown up yet! But I was wrong, Hannah might be really talented, but she's got nothing on Joy (Xue Jing Xi's English Name).

She can only compete against a group of teenagers, but Joy can compete with the top, world famous veteran pianists. Her 'To Pavlochev' can only be described as 'perfect', 'shocking' and 'incomparable', even her brother, the Piano King Sean(Xue Zi Xuan) has to admit defeat in front of her."

"I'm at the venue and no one who didn't listen to Joy first hand will ever be able to appreciate that suffocating, powerful pressure. My ears and my heart were squeezed by her raw pain, and when she finished playing, I shuddered for more than a minute."

"This song has always been known as the Devil's Music, I even looked up the video of Sean's performance, but I completely couldn't understand its charm. At that time, it just made me feel awful, nauseated and dizzy, but when I heard Joy's performance, I cried. I cried uncontrollably, and now I just want to do something crazy to vent this inexplicable sense of despair."

"My God, I never knew anyone could play a piano like this before! Just look at her face- twisted, ferocious, full of sweat and tears, but why did I feel that she looked so beautiful? When she pressed down the last note, I was staring at her face. Her eyes were shining with despair and pain, I felt like my heart was about to burst!"

"I usually only listen to pop music, what the heck is classical music, can I eat it? Well, that's what I would've said an hour ago, but now I want to eat this sentence. Joy's performance made me understand what real soul moving music sounds like. Her superb skills should be worshiped by the world's musicians, of course, including her brother. She invested emotions into the melody that no one can even hope to copy. After Joy, no one will be able to play 'To Pavlochev' so perfectly. Joy's performance will become a classic that can never be surpassed."

"Joy, Joy, Joy, she's so great! The preliminaries are already at this level, my expectations for the semifinals and finals are through the roof! I was originally all about Hannah, but now I'm only looking forward to Joy's performances."

"I think the Organizing Committee should adjust and put Joy in the adult group, letting her compete with a bunch of kids is too unfair. Of course, even in the adult group, she would still crush them all! She really is the Piano King's sister, genetics sure can decide everything."

Such wide-spread praise gave the competition unprecedented attention. Zhou Yun Sheng's performance was too appealing, even people who'd never listened to classical music were involuntarily fascinated by him, becoming his loyal fans. After his play, many listeners couldn't help but express their feelings on social networks, and publish their live video recordings. The boy was exceptionally exquisite, when his face distorted from playing the sad and painful music, it not only didn't compromise his beauty, it gave him the power to move the heart and soul.

No one paid attention to the following performances, listening absent-mindedly to rest of the songs as they blocked the aisles, hoping to say a few words to the boy. He was only sixteen years old, but his thin body hid such a terrible, explosive force, even God would be jealous of his talent.
