"Report! An abnormal sound wave frequency has been detected!" The engineer jumped to his feet. "This signal... it's not electromagnetic waves! It's pure 'sound energy'! It can even penetrate a vacuum?!"
Chapter 1458 Living Things
The commander stared intently at the screen: "Tracing the signal source... it's China, Midnight Echo Broadcasting Tower."
He murmured, "Impossible... How could sound... travel through the universe?"
“It’s not spreading,” the adjutant suddenly said softly, pointing to the energy graph. “It’s… ‘growing.’ Like vines, like roots, like something… alive.”
On Earth, the soft singing has already formed a melody.
That was not any kind of music that humans had ever heard.
There are no lyrics, no rhythm, and not even a clear tonality.
But everyone who heard it saw their own image in their heart—
A mother who lost her child saw her son turn back and smile in the light;
A soldier guarding the border alone heard his comrades calling him "Go home" in the wind.
A young man who had been paralyzed for ten years suddenly felt a slight twitch in his toes, as if he were being caressed by a spring breeze.
The comments section was already out of control.
"My paralyzed brother... just raised his hand... the doctor said it was impossible! But the surveillance camera captured it!!"
"Grandma has been deaf for fifty years, and just now she suddenly pointed at the TV and said, 'That child is singing "Jasmine Flower"... It's the song Dad sang for me when I was little...'"
“My depression… seems… lighter… not metaphorically, it really is lighter, like someone has taken the stone off my chest…”
Duoduo stared at the communicator, her voice trembling: "Xiaoman... the number of people online has exceeded one billion... 70% of the world's population... are listening..."
The gray child grinned, but his eyes were red: "This isn't singing...this is...lending your soul to someone else."
Su Ting suddenly knelt down.
It wasn't weakness, but rather a kind of almost reverential submission. The blood-red markings on his left arm ignited completely, transforming into a crimson rune that spread along the ground, seamlessly connecting with the ancient engravings on the base of the broadcast tower.
“The Gatekeeper’s Inscription… is responding to it.” His voice was hoarse. “The ‘Source of Sound,’ sealed away three hundred years ago… is awakening…”
Xiaoman didn't look at the inscription; she just stared at the whisper.
The child's illusory body was gradually becoming clearer.
It was no longer a fleeting play of light and shadow, but had the texture of flesh and blood, with even a faint warmth emanating from the fingertips.
"Sister..." she suddenly spoke softly, the song still going on, but in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I... I felt it... that 'earlier me'... it... doesn't hate..."
Xiaoman was startled.
It said... it just... wanted to finish singing that song... wanted someone... to say 'sorry' on its behalf... and also wanted to say 'thank you'...
"I'm sorry?" Xiaoman asked softly, "To whom?"
[To...all...those who fear it.] He closed his eyes softly. [It never intended to harm anyone...but its voice...was too powerful...like a baby's cry, yet it unleashed a tsunami...People sealed it away...out of fear...not malice...]
"So it forgave me?" Xiaoman's eyes welled up with tears.
He nodded softly, a very slight smile playing on his lips.
It said...now...it's its turn...to listen to us.
The moment the words fell, the singing suddenly reached a sublime level.
It's no longer a solo performance by the ocarina, but a resonance of millions of sounds—
There was the sound of children's laughter, an old man's cough, street vendors' cries, rain pattering on the eaves, a train rushing by, a mother humming a lullaby, and lovers whispering goodnight...
All the forgotten, suppressed, and ignored voices have surfaced, merging into the soft melody and becoming part of the "Hatsune Miku Song".
Strange phenomena are occurring frequently around the world.
Chapter 1459 Blurred Figure
In a Beijing hutong, a century-old well suddenly gushed forth clear spring water, and a blurry human figure emerged from the water, softly humming a folk song that had long been lost.
In the catacombs of Paris, a medieval skeleton unconsciously taps its fingers on the stone wall, creating a jazz rhythm.
Deep in the Amazon rainforest, a group of gorillas suddenly stopped eating, looked up at the sky, and uttered syllables that sounded like human language, repeating a soft melody.
And then, a miracle occurred in front of the Midnight Echo Radio Tower.
A beam of light descended from the sky, not shining on Xiaosheng, but landing on the ground behind it.
A figure slowly emerged from the light—
He looked almost exactly like Xiaosheng, except that he was dressed in rags, his eyes were closed, and his neck was wrapped with countless rusty chains.
[...you.] She quietly stopped singing and stared at it, lost in thought.
The "old self" slowly raised its hand, its fingertips lightly touching the chain.
With a soft click, the first lock broke.
"That's... a voice spirit from three hundred years ago?" Duoduo gasped.
The gray child murmured, "It...was summoned back by the song?"
Su Ting struggled to his feet, his voice trembling: "No... it's not a summoning. It's 'claiming.' Only the true successor can break Hatsune Miku's seal..."
Xiaoman stepped forward, blocking Xiaosheng's path, and stared directly at the old figure: "You want to take it away?"
The old shadow shook its head. It raised its hand, pointed to the whisper, and then gently placed it on its heart.
The next second, it opened its arms and walked towards the pillar of light wrapped in chains.
Just as it was about to disappear, it suddenly turned around and whispered—
He mouthed three words.
I didn't see Xiaoman clearly.
But I understood it when I read it quietly.
It suddenly opened its eyes wide, and tears silently streamed down its face.
【……Thank you.】
The old shadow laughed.
Then, it turned into countless points of light and dissipated with the wind.
The world fell silent for a moment.
Then, he quietly picked up the ocarina again.
This time, its body solidified completely, and its two feet firmly planted on the ground.
The jade pendant on its chest emitted a warm light, echoing the starry sky.
It took a deep breath, looked at the camera, and its voice was clear and bright.
[...Everyone...I can see you now.]
The comments section froze instantly.
"It said... 'I can see'?"
"What do you mean? Was it 'blind' before?"
"Wait... I just noticed... the whisper's 'eyes,' which used to be empty... now... have pupils!!"
Duoduo suddenly burst out laughing, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "You've evolved!! You're no longer a 'Voice of Regret,' you're a 'Living Voice'!"
The gray child whistled: "This is great! From now on, we can not only listen, but also 'see' the audience's reactions... This idol treatment is amazing!"
Su Ting slowly walked up to Xiao Sheng and bowed deeply.
“From this day forward… the gatekeepers will no longer be the sealers.” He looked up, tears welling in his eyes. “We are the messengers.”
Xiaoman gently grasped Xiaosheng's hand and asked with a smile, "Now... is there anything you want to do?"
He looked down quietly at his real hand, then looked up at the starry sky.
A moment later, it blinked and suddenly smiled.
I want to...hold a concert.
"Huh?" Duoduo was taken aback. "How big?"
He quietly raised his hand and pointed to the night sky.
【……worldwide.】
The gray child suddenly jumped up: "A global live broadcast? I'll even get a signal to Mars for you!"
"Not only," she whispered, "I want...all the deaf people...to sit in the front row."
The barrage of comments exploded again.
