Chapter 607 The Melody Ends

The music ended.

Some people slowly woke up.

This performance was like a dream…immersing people in it, unknowingly the time had passed, and when they woke up, they realized that reality was making them feel dazed.

Pierre was no exception.

He suddenly woke up, realizing that he had completed an entire performance in a daze... There was applause from the audience, the curtain slowly closed, and most of the musicians in the orchestra were also like this, looking at each other blankly.

After the [Annihilation Dream] shattered, Xiao removed all mental control.

For him, without [Annihilation Dream], controlling these people... would lose its meaning.

People woke up one after another, and then applauded. For them, this performance was really wonderful and amazing.

"I have never slept so soundly during a classical music concert."

Jiang Wan also slowly woke up. She rubbed her sore and swollen forehead, and her consciousness gradually returned from the chaos. It took her two or three seconds to completely wake herself up, and then she looked at the seat of the "target person."

The biggest goal of coming to the Freedom Ball this time was Zhao Qi.

However... Zhao Qi's seat was empty.

Immediately afterwards, an old man at the front looked gloomy and waved his hand, and more and more people gathered around.

…

…

Lu Nanzhi, who symbolized the brilliance of the women of the capital, lowered her head slightly, as if she was asleep, sitting on the seat.

No…not like.

But, she was just asleep.

And at this moment, everyone else had woken up, but she was still asleep, but her breathing was weak. Compared to being asleep, it looked more like...death.

Because Lu Nanzhi was too quiet. Even if she was shaken gently and carefully, she still didn't respond.

"Madam..."

Councilor Chen San walked quickly to the front row. He looked nervous, watching several professional medical staff examining her.

"Still breathing...heartbeat normal..."

"All data is normal...but unable to wake her up..."

Listening to the conversation of these medical staff, an unnamed anger surged in Chen San's heart, and he said coldly, "What's going on?"

Zhao Xilai frowned slightly and did not answer.

Cui Zhongcheng answered, "Lu Nanzhi is 'asleep'."

"Of course I know, I'm not blind." Chen San said in a deep voice, "She just finished talking with Nanwan, and when it was your turn...this kind of accident happened. And what was going on with the music just now?"

Most people in the Freedom Auditorium still didn't know what had happened.

But they were different. These few people were carrying mental seals of extremely high quality, and they vaguely felt something just now... It seemed that there was an irresistible force that dragged them into a dream.

Until the end of the music, the dream was lifted.

"I have reason to suspect that you guys did it." Chen San said expressionlessly, "Lu Nanzhi doesn't agree with the Awakening Act, but it shouldn't be like this, right?"

The silent Zhao Xilai finally spoke.

"If I wanted to do something...would I do it now?"

"She had an accident while talking to me...what good would it do to Huazhi?"

After two rhetorical questions.

Chen San restrained himself a little. He took a deep breath and said, "You better not be related to this matter... otherwise I will apply to the council for sanctions and accuse you of murdering an alternate councilor who is about to be elected."

"...Heh." The old man ignored this weak and powerless verbal warning.

There was turmoil at the ball.

The people at the scene gathered around, but they were quickly stopped... The transcendents from the Three Institutes quickly established order at the scene, and delivered a warning message at Zhao Xilai's request.

The entire main hall of the concert hall was cleared.

Immediately afterwards, several figures rushed over, covered in dust.

"Madam!"

Song Ci, covered in dust, trotted all the way. Seeing the situation at the scene, his eyes turned red instantly. He came to his wife's side. The temporary medical staff had been replaced by a transcendent with healing abilities.

He hurriedly came to his wife's side, looking flustered.

"What happened?"

No one at the scene answered this young man. The transcendent responsible for sensing Lu Nanzhi's physical condition slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "Madam's physical functions are still normal, but she is now in a very strange situation... She seems to be 'asleep', but it is different from ordinary hypnosis. It's more like a..."

"Mental exile."

When the words mental exile were spoken, the expressions of these people clearly froze.

What exactly happened?

"The Freedom Auditorium earlier..." Zhou Jiren pulled the two councilors and Cui Zhongcheng, and briefly explained what had happened before.

During the hypnosis.

Everyone lost consciousness.

But Lu Nanzhi encountered mental exile... This was not in line with normal cognition. If Xiao had the ability to mentally exile, then with his character, he would definitely not only make such a move against one person.

Everyone in the entire auditorium would fall into a long sleep.

"Zhou Jiren...in this situation, is there anything your 'Holy Wood' can do?" Zhao Xilai sat in a wheelchair and said slowly.

"Holy Wood can only heal physical wounds." Mr. Tree shook his head and said, "I am powerless to help with mental damage... What's more, this is mental exile, which is different from normal awakening."

Normal awakening is when the spirit is still there, and only the consciousness needs to be stimulated.

Mental exile, on the other hand... The person's "sleep" is only an appearance. Her soul has drifted to an unknown distance, and she needs to find her spirit first before she can "recall" it.

"Although I have thought about solving the Awakening Act from the root..." Zhao Xilai looked at Chen San and explained seriously, "I didn't do this. I hope Lu Nanzhi can wake up."

"The person is already like this." Chen San was especially angry. He clenched his fingers until they turned blue, and said coldly, "As long as she keeps sleeping like this, who will believe what you are saying now? And what's the point?"

The scene was a little stiff.

Zhao Xilai was silent, because he knew... Chen San was right.

"Mental exile... Old Gu, do you have a way?" Councilor Chen asked anxiously for help.

The old man shook his head, indicating that he couldn't help.

"Perhaps..."

A weak voice sounded from an inconspicuous corner.

"Can I try?"

Zhao Xilai, Cui Zhongcheng, and Chen San all looked at the young man who spoke.

It was not until this moment that Song Ci belatedly reacted. He then remembered that there was a seemingly unremarkable, but actually incredibly powerful bodhisattva.

"You, get out of the way."

Crow patted the transcendent in charge of treatment and unceremoniously asked that person to make way.

Gu Shen came to Lu Nanzhi's seat.

He looked at the madam who had fallen into slumber... and fell into thought.

Lu Nanzhi's brow was emitting a faint aura of death.
