The day before the opening of the quarterfinals.

He Xiao quietly returned to Paris.

Charles de Gaulle Airport is obviously not as dangerous as Hongqiao Airport, with paparazzi following him everywhere. When He Xiao landed on the ground, he did not see any recognizable situations.

All three of them were wearing masks, fully armed, and followed the crowd and returned to the hotel.

He Xiao started to have the jet lag the day before leaving, so he was quite adaptable after returning to Paris. However, to be on the safe side, he still slept for a night and treated tomorrow's game with the most perfect condition.

After waking up, it was already late at night. He Xiao had a midnight snack and was completely sleepy. He had to bring his headphones and listen to the piano music in his black phone, and slowly wait until dawn.

There are only 32 contestants left in the Isabella Cup, and after tomorrow, only sixteen people will be able to stay. The elimination rate of the entire half makes the competition process extremely dangerous.

Everyone was preparing for the battle seriously and took out their trump card.

After all, the 800-player game has now reached the top 32, and then he will go to the top 16, and no one will be willing to be eliminated at this time.

The whole of Paris was filled with a tense atmosphere without realizing it.

The next morning.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the streets and alleys returned to their former anger.

The crowds are still surging, and there is no decrease in the slightest discussion of the Isabella Piano Competition can be seen everywhere.

The event has now entered a white-hot stage, and all journalists and media are paying close attention. The local newspaper in Paris has been slaughtered by the content of the Isabella Cup for nearly a week, and related reports can be seen every day.

A long cordon was already set up in front of the Paris Opera House, but it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the people. The long yellow line became precarious. If it weren't for dozens of guards standing nearby, the contestants entering the venue would have been overwhelmed by fanatical fans.

Listening to the noise outside, He Xiao, who was sitting in the car, took a deep breath, then put the red face mask in his hand on his face, and opened the car door and walked towards the entrance.

"Blush!"

"Blush!"

"Blush!"

When he saw He Xiao appear, the warm shouts immediately came like a sea of ​​rushing waves, wave after wave, making people buzz with their ears.

There is no doubt that the most anticipated player is the red face. The only one who can compete with him is the unicorn tied for the first place.

But the unicorn had not arrived at the scene yet, so the blushing cry overshadowed everyone.

He Xiao's mouth under the mask raised an upward curve, waved his hands at everyone, and then walked into the arena.

"Red face, I will surpass you."

After entering the spacious hall on the first floor, a thick strange male voice suddenly came into He Xiao's ears. He subconsciously turned around and saw the panda standing behind him, with a black and white hood covering his head, only a pair of eyes exposed, with a smile on his eyes.

He Xiao didn't say anything, but his eyes stared at the panda, as if he wanted to see through something.

Panda was not afraid at all, and just looked at He Xiao calmly.

After confirming my eyes, I met the right person?

After the gaze lasted for five seconds, He Xiao shook the goosebumps on his body and turned around and left the first floor lobby.

Panda followed silently without saying a word and walked into the venue.

...

...

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The competition officially begins.

Dozens of cameras shot around the stage in various directions, and an airline camera even gave a panoramic shot.

Under the bright incandescent lamp, host Kami and dozens of judges made a debut.

"Welcome to the scene of the Isabella International Piano Competition. I am your old friend Kami. Without further ado, let us enter today's 32-16-16-16-17-17-19!"

As soon as the game started, the event entered a high-energy state.

There was thunderous applause at the scene.

"Let's see how the system matches today."

Kami turned around and made the big screen behind her, and saw rows of names and avatars listed above.

As this group of battle lists was fair, the thirty-two contestants on the scene held their breath and stared nervously ahead.

He Xiao's eyes glanced up and down, and finally found his place.

He is the fifth player to appear and fight against him, code-named "Rakshasa".

Rakshasa is an evil ghost in Buddhism who specializes in eating human flesh.

I have to say that the code name of He Xiao is very fierce. Just from the words, a sense of evil spirit comes to my face.

He Xiao recalled it for a moment, and gradually realized it.

In the quarterfinals of 64, this Rakshasa was very eye-catching, as if he had scored 90 high scores, while his opponent only had 83 points, which could be said to have been directly beaten.

Rakshasa ranks tenth on the latest official website, because the evil ghost mask is full of evil spirits, which makes it look very personal, so it has extremely high popularity on the entire external website.

It can be considered an opponent, but not very strong.

As long as he doesn't encounter unicorns, pandas, and clowns, He Xiao still has no worries.

On the other side of the stage, the competition has begun.

It seemed that he had his own intentions in the dark, and the first one to appear was the Owl, which made him quite helpless, but he could only accept it.

The Owls' opponents in this round are not very strong, and they are the ones who are cranes in the official website ranking, so the end of the game is clear at a glance.

The face under the owl's mask showed a smile and breathed a sigh of relief, but the many contestants became nervous.

If you pinch soft persimmons, you will lose one less, and the few weak ones who count down are all challenged, and the chances of them being ranked as masters will be higher.

The game is slowly going on.

Until He Xiao appeared, the atmosphere on the scene reached a peak.

Red face vs Rakshasa!

These two are both top ten fierce men, so there is no need to say that they blushed. In the last PK game, the audience amazed with the song "Croatian Rhapsody". Although Rakshasas performed not as amazing as Blushed, they also won a high score of 90 and entered the top ten.

So this game is still very interesting.

He Xiao stood up from the audience, his red face was powerful without anger, and not far behind him, the Rakshasa contestant also stood up. The blue evil ghost mask was more or less inconsistent with his pianist identity, and it looked very fierce.

The two walked towards the stage, and the eyes of the ten judges instantly set on them.

Rakshasa is a Buddhist figure and has little popularity abroad. If it weren't for the code name "Rakshasa" written on his badge, the judges would probably not know what character this is, and would only treat it as an ordinary grimace mask.

"Welcome to the two contestants back to the stage again. Please let me say again, your masks are cool!" Kami stood in the center of the stage, putting one hand in his pocket, and the host said: "Then, let's enter the competition, the first one to play is Rakshasa player!"

After the sound fell, Rakshasa walked out in one step, and his tall body was sitting in front of the piano.
Chapter completed!
