Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 173 The Grandest Harmonious Music Ceremony in History

The next day…

There are still a few hours until the Harmonious Music Festival begins.

Many guests were very excited after learning about the information.

The Harmonious Music Festival, which had been suddenly suspended for unknown reasons, has been restarted, and according to rumors, this time the festival will be held on a much grander scale.

The duration is also longer than in the past.

There are many programs, and their quality is guaranteed.

Upon learning of this, many people arrived at the scene before the start of the Harmonious Music Ceremony.

The queue to enter is now almost stretching all the way to the highway.

It's clear how many people desperately wanted to go in and see the performance.

Of course, the main reason is still the robin.

However, this time is different from before, when there were only live performances.

Now, you can watch the live stream online, but the live stream quality is far less impressive than being there in person.

After all, some of the performance effects are interactive.

The game will be affected by the audience's behavior. For example, if a gold coin falls from the sky, the audience can pick it up before it hits the ground (but they might also get knocked down).

Or perhaps, stars falling during a performance (like stars).

However, the advantage of being online is that it's cheaper, and you can view the entire venue as a virtual avatar within the Harmonious Music Festival, but you can't interact with it or move around on your own.

However, the difference is...

As distinguished guests, the train crew, the performers' family and friends, and one of Pinocchio's shareholders, they not only had the right to enter in advance without paying for tickets, but also enjoyed rare VIP seats.

The best view and the most interactive experience.

Looking at the grand theater, which was completely different from what they had seen before, the younger members of the train crew were all astonished and gaped in surprise.

The first time I saw the grand theater, it was like hell, with corpses everywhere.

The second time was much better, but the atmosphere was still noticeably tense and the environment was rather dark.

This time, however, it's different...

It was noticeably brighter, and there was a strange sense of awe about it.

"Wow, the scenery here is much better than before!" March 7 exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the scenery here has clearly been drastically altered, but they can probably guess what happened...

This should be the effect of the power of "order".

But they are quite different…

The "order" I felt before was a kind of constraint on everything.

Everything is inscribed into "laws" and "rules".

But now, that constraint is gone…

It's not that there's none, but rather a feeling of being stared at.

It was as if divine punishment would descend upon anyone who did something wrong.

Indeed, things turned out as they expected. Today's "order" is no longer the concept of the past, but has become a punishment for "evil".

In the event of heinous acts, the forces of order will turn into blades and fall upon the heads of sinners.

He or they will be expelled from the realm of order and harmony, but order is merciful; it will expel but not erase.

Otherwise, what is the difference between such "order" and "destruction"?
The group found a place to sit down, only to discover that some of them had secretly slipped away.

For example, Alicia, Little Paddo, the Claire family, and... Peng Hao?
It's understandable that Alicia left; she was sneaking off to find Eden.

Little Paddy is the same; this is her first time exploring the Grand Theatre, and she'll definitely find a chance to sneak out for a stroll.

The Claire family…

Actually, Klee saw something that looked really fun, so she stopped.

Klee's pause puzzled Tianxing, who was holding her hand, and then the whole family sat down to be with little Klee.

It was a television set, or rather...

It's a game console.

The game inside is called "Hanunu's Bizarre Adventure".

It's a platformer game similar to Mario.

The main character in the game is Hanunu. Players will control Hanunu to continuously overcome obstacles until they reach the Compass.

Of course, this game is not as simple as a single-player game.

It incorporates many dream-related technologies, and the game modes include multiplayer adventure or unbalanced competitive mode.

In short, it's Mario + Human: Fall Flat + Identity V (it should be Dawn of Death, but that's not really suitable for kids).

Peng Hao, on the other hand, mainly followed Alicia after she ran away.

After all, here, Alicia is both beautiful and delicate, making her an easy target for bullying (in Peng Hao's eyes).
So, feeling very uneasy, she followed him. She was certain that she wouldn't be upset if Ellie wasn't by her side!
In fact, not many people actually come to see the performance.

Some of them are currently in charge of work at the Grand Theater.

It's like a performance of Eden and the dome.

Ye Tianyu was in charge of some tasks.

Greta, who worked on the art direction and special effects for the Harmonious Music Festival, and her family who were with her.

Even Vervier used some magic tricks to add a little surprise to the event.

Some people, like Mebius, are not interested in performing.

Rather than watching performances, she prefers to spend time exchanging knowledge with geniuses around the world.

The two had some understanding and some arguments during their discussions, but in the end, they each gained a lot of information that was helpful to them.

Or Himeko Murata, uh…

She was completely drunk…

Most Pinocchio drinks are not strong and are known for their mellow taste. They don't have the harshness of alcohol and are easy to drink, making you want to have a refill, eventually leading to either getting drunk or vomiting.

Well, that's about all I have to say.

The Harmonious Music Festival is also about to open.

As the audience gradually entered, the grand theater slowly filled up.

With all the ticket-checking audience members seated, the Harmonious Music Ceremony officially began.

A rhythmic whistle rang out, attracting the chattering audience who were asking when it would start.

The cheerful music made the audience unconsciously sway along.

In the middle of the grand theater, on that stage, spotlights focused, drawing the audience's attention.

Above them, a blond and a gray-haired man was dancing a rhythmic dance.

As the first dance segment ended, the song began.

"Outside the car window, the night is dazzling with lights," a cheerful male voice rang out.

It was the voice of the sky.

"Don't forget, you're only awake when you close your eyes," a more mature male voice then rang out.

It belongs to Mr. Kakava.

"You're in the cast, this play, changing your posture~ The mystery, the ending, how should I guess?" The two sang this part together.

"Memory is the opening act of a dream."

"The scars are covered up, but yesterday's wounds remain."

"Time is waiting for you to wake up~" The voice rose higher and higher.

The line “Take Me Away” is sung by Qiong.

"Don't break anymore~ Don't wither anymore~"
Continue to indulge in self-deception~
Savor it all – the taste of eternity!
The next dream from that night ~ See you again.

The more hypocritical it is, the more perfect it seems.
Sweet dreams to sleep ~ A cycle of despair ~
With each blink, it begins to regress.
The next dream from that night ~ See you again.

Then came the chorus.

The foreshadowing hasn't been resolved... the suspense remains...

"Time is waiting for you to wake up~" The note was raised again.

"Don't break anymore~ Don't wither anymore~"
Continue to indulge in self-deception~
Savor it all – the taste of eternity!
Let's end with a sleepless night.

The more you want to be happy, the more you want to break down.
Don't overthink it.
Forget about time~ Come to the dream party~
Let's end with a sleepless night.

Finally, as if waking from a dream, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

This song is very catchy, and the melody is quite addictive, making you want to stay in it.

Many people even called for an encore.

However, the two on stage did not continue.

After all, there are other performances later on, and if it really is an encore...

It will take a lot of time, not to mention...

They really don't have enough stamina!

Singing and dancing, even these seasoned travelers were covered in sweat.

The two then bowed on stage and left.

After they left, the venue lost focus of the lights, and the entire venue became like a night sky.

Why does it resemble the night sky?
Because the light sticks in the audience's hands are like stars lighting up the night sky.

Just like the countless stars in the real world, though far apart, their sheer number illuminates the darkness of the night sky, thus forming that beautiful sea of ​​stars.

　Ah...writing this concert section is so difficult...I've written it for three days and revised it again and again. The biggest problem is that I've never been to a concert myself, so I don't know how to write it well.
