Akari Tsukimura finally breathed a sigh of relief and, with Lu Chen's help, stood up again.
"I'm alright, Akari Tsukimura."
Akari Tsukimura shook her head:
"I am fine."
She paused, then sighed softly and said:
"What I'm worried about now is Xiao Zun. He seems to have really been hit hard. I'm afraid he'll just give up and become despondent."
Lu Chen shook his head and said:
"In Journey to the West Chapter 347, Tang Sanzang and his three companions had to overcome eighty-one tribulations in order to obtain the Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise."
"Right now, Tenkuji-san has only collected fifteen Eye Souls. If he can't even get past this hurdle, then there's nothing more to say."
"I believe he is not such a fragile person. After all, there is a saying that goes, 'Like father, like son.' Tenkuji Takeru's father is a Ghost Hunter. As the son of a Ghost Hunter, he certainly is not that fragile."
That's what she said, but Akari Tsukimura was still very worried, looking distressed and concerned about Takeru's condition.
Chapter 190 It would be better if he were dead; if he were dead, this piece of music could become a classic.
Lu Chen shrugged and said:
"Then try to talk to him, but don't try to drag me into it, I'm not going."
Akari Tsukimura originally wanted to involve Lu Chen, but before she could even speak, her intentions were seen through, leaving her no choice but to nod helplessly:
"Alright, then I'll go talk to him by myself."
The words are divided into two parts.
In the practice room, Yangzi's brother played wildly, from daytime to evening, from blue skies and white clouds to fiery sunsets, until the nerves in his fingers were almost throbbing with pain, before he finally stopped.
After his fingers twitched a few times, Yoko's brother revealed a sickly smile, then picked up a pencil and added the last few notes to the sheet music.
Looking at the near-perfect musical piece, Yoko's brother was extremely excited. The smile on his lips widened, and he murmured to himself:
"It's finished! It's finally finished! This new chapter, no less impressive than Beethoven's legendary works, is finally complete!"
"From this moment forward, I am the modern-day Beethoven!"
What Yangzi's brother didn't know was that a demon was watching him intently from not far away.
Seeing that the guy he had been eyeing had finally finished the piece, the Piano-Eyed Demon smiled and said:
"No, it's not finished yet. There's still one last step. The most crucial step is missing."
Yoko's brother naturally couldn't hear what the Piano Eye Demon was saying.
He still doesn't know that he was influenced by the Eye Demon from the very beginning.
After saying that, the Piano Eye Demon whispered a few words in Yangzi's ear.
Yangzi's brother's pupils contracted, and he immediately had a new idea.
"No, there's one last step. If I complete that step, not only will this piece become a legend, but I will also become a legend on par with Beethoven!"
As he spoke, Yangzi's brother took the original manuscript of Beethoven's music and the new piece he had just created, and strolled towards the rooftop of the building.
There's a saying that goes, "The best artists are the dead."
Only dead artists can become legendary artists!
So, the last thing Yoko wanted to do was commit suicide!
Suicide paired with a perfect musical piece—this piece is sure to become a classic worldwide!
Thinking of this, Yoko's brother became even more excited.
Yoko, who was looking for her brother at that moment, noticed him leaving the piano room. As she approached him, she saw him walk straight to the rooftop, muttering to himself:
"It would be better if he were dead. If he were dead, this piece of music could become a classic!"
Upon hearing this, Yoko was horrified!
Soon, Misaki Yamauchi received a call from Yoko, saying that her brother wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
Yamauchi Misaki originally wanted to ask Tenkuji Takeru to come and help, but he couldn't find any such person at all. He didn't even know where Tenkuji Takeru had gone.
Left with no other option, Yamauchi Misaki had to find Lu Chen and ask him to come and help.
Lu Chen did not refuse. He was just missing the power of the last Eye Demon to activate the dimensional barrier, and this Piano Eye Demon was originally Lu Chen's prey.
Lu Chen, along with Shirase Mariko and Yamauchi Misaki, prepared to head to the university, but Tsukimura Akari suggested that she wanted to come along as well.
Lu Chen did not refuse and chose to bring Tsukimura Akari along as well.
Chapter 191 Did you see it? This is the truth, the new movement you created.
When we arrived at the school building again, a large number of students had gathered on the ground, but the police had not yet arrived, so no demarcation line had been set up at the scene.
Lu Chen and the others quickly arrived at the top floor.
At this moment, only Yoko and her brother were on the top floor.
Yangzi stood to the side, crying and trying to persuade him, but her brother remained stubbornly standing on the edge of the rooftop, looking as if he were ready to die.
"Brother, you're still so young. Please don't commit suicide. You can create many beautiful musical pieces in the future."
Faced with Yoko's pleading, Yoko's brother shook his head and said:
"No, this piece is already my masterpiece. I have burned myself out and it is impossible to create a better piece. Now, as long as I die, this piece will become legendary 347, and my status will be no less than that of Mr. Beethoven."
Yamauchi Misaki stepped forward and shouted:
"Human beings have infinite possibilities. How do you know that we can't create even better music in the future?"
Akari Tsukimura chimed in:
"That's right. Did you ever imagine you could compose this piece of music before? You probably didn't, did you? Why can't you believe in your future self?"
Yoko's brother turned around and roared at Yamauchi Misaki and Tsukimura Akari:
"Shut up, you don't understand anything (cjfc), you have no idea how great this piece of music is."
At this moment, Lu Chen finally spoke:
"Don't you think your motives for suicide are ridiculous? Is this really what you truly think? Have you ever considered that you might have been influenced by others?"
Yangzi's brother turned to look at Lu Chen and said with a sneer:
"No, I wasn't influenced by anyone else; it was all my own idea."
Lu Chen retorted directly:
"You know nothing, yet you're talking so eloquently. It's really laughable. Open your eyes wide and take a good look around you."
As he spoke, Lu Chen activated the Shiranui magnetic field.
Yangzi's brother instinctively looked around and then saw a horrifying scene.
He saw a terrifying-looking strange man standing a meter away, gesturing wildly.
Lu Chen spoke again:
"See? This is the truth. Your new musical composition, your suicidal thoughts, were all orchestrated by this guy."
Yoko's brother looked incredulous and murmured:
"No, this isn't true, you're lying!"
Lu Chen continued to add insult to injury:
"You've been used, you silly boy. No one would want to commit suicide for no reason, unless they're mentally ill. Look back, haven't you noticed how your personality has changed recently? If it were the old you, would you have been indifferent when you saw your sister crying?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the man standing on the rooftop was startled.
He looked down and saw his sister's tearful face and her sad expression. The older brother finally came to his senses.
He put down the musical piece he was playing, he set down the Beethoven manuscript he was holding, walked over to his sister, and gently embraced her.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
Seeing this, Akari Tsukimura and Misaki Yamauchi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 192 Lu Chen raised his hand, shook the Eye Soul in his hand, and said
Meanwhile, the piano-playing spectacled man on the side burst into a tirade:
"We were just one step away from completing it. All that was needed for him to die was for the Eye Soul to appear. Why did you have to come and ruin my plan?"
Lu Chen was too lazy to waste words with the demon in front of him, so he formed a hand seal over the Beethoven manuscript that was thrown on the ground.
With a flash of golden light, a cloud of black and white smoke burst forth from Beethoven's original manuscript, transforming into a completely new eye.
It was Beethoven's vision!
The Piano Eye Demon was surprised that Lu Chen could summon Beethoven's Eye Soul with just a simple hand seal, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"It's here! It's finally here!"
The Piano Eye Demon spoke to Beethoven's Eye Soul:
"Come, you belong to me, become one with me!"
Beethoven's Eye Soul glanced at Lu Chen, then looked back at the Eye Demon's Eye Soul, and finally chose the Eye Demon's Eye Soul!
