Chapter 355 The First Movement: The Poem of Awakening (32): The Dream Review Meeting ([-] in [-])

"Your 'Chaconne' plays very well."

The disguise of appearance and spirituality has been removed, and Fan Ning's voice is gentle and calm, just like the casual praise when listening to piano practice in an infinitely long afternoon.

"I..." Sheeran opened her mouth.

In the fragmented dreams of the past, she was always trying to outline the outlines that would disappear at any time, but the dream scene tonight was familiar, clear and stable, it seemed to be true, it seemed to be true, the dream started when she woke up in the middle of the night started.

I really don't know what to say now.

"My favorite should be the 4th to 9th variations of the exposition. However, why is it so lost when the 24th variation reproduces the key of D minor? Your VI-level chord is too wronged." Fan Ning sat holding the piano In the audience, continue to smile and comment on questions.

Xilan stood up straighter than in public places during the day. She didn't know how many different dialogues and small movements she had rehearsed in her mind. She wanted to jump off the stage at this moment, but she took two steps forward and felt that The range of motion is too large, and I want to go around the stairs next to me, but I feel that the long step distance still does not fit the atmosphere
"You have been watching me play the violin, why didn't you call me earlier." Finally she squeezed out such a sentence.

"I thought about listening to it again, but I finished listening."

"Oh."

"It's only been more than ten days, and your practice speed is so fast."

"It's only been more than ten days." Sheeran emphasized a certain word.

Fanning bit her lips, her eyes swept across her cheeks and hair:
"You changed your hairstyle?"

"I don't have one." Sheeran stretched out her hand and touched her head in a daze.

What are they talking about?

She felt that the coverage accuracy of the dialogues and actions she rehearsed was about zero.
"It didn't seem like this before, the ones next to the ears, and the ones around the neck." Fanning said.

"It's just a different way of combing."

"Oh."

Why do you only ask, but not evaluate? ?Sheeran felt that standing upright was a bit restrictive and required some substantial body movements, so she had no choice but to step on the podium in front of her, and decided that the first thing she would do after getting up was to comb her hair back.

There was a short silence in the air, Fan Ning thought for a while and said:

"You can live in my living room later, which will be closer to the office and more convenient."

"Okay, thank you." Sheeran agreed with a voice as thin as a mosquito.

God, he hasn't acquiesced to this before, has he?

You will never want to know what happened in the first ten days! !

Qiming Church was very quiet, and she didn't speak for several seconds. Her eyes continued to look for transitional topics on Fan Ning:

"Why are you holding a guitar."

"Then you can't hold a piano."

"Have you seen Joan?"

"See you and separate."

"she"

"She's fine, I'll try to contact her later."

"Then where are you now, still in Tiolein? Can I go find you." This sentence was quick and skillful.

Hearing this, Fan Ning almost subconsciously blurted out something.

Candlelight flickered in his eyes.

This feeling was like the mood when he said goodnight to each other in the corridor of the Santa Ramborg City Hotel, but he immediately realized that compared with the "uncertain" passing feeling of the past, the current Scheler is completely different. Definitely Scheler.

"I can't tell you for now." Fanning shook his head.

Not much, but a lot of effort.

"I'm going to find you, and being with you will reveal your whereabouts, right?" Sheeran immediately agreed, "But you can still tell me where you are, and I won't go."

"The Special Patrol Office has a 'disaster' and some methods that we don't know about." Fan Ning said, "We need to reduce the connection between facts and factors. If you know it, it may also be one of the breakthroughs."

"Okay, just don't ask." The little girl clenched her fists and then relaxed.

"That birthday present probably didn't please you." Fan Ning finally softened his voice a bit, "Is it particularly tiring recently? I guess the environment in the Turner Art Hall is quite stressful."

"...I don't dislike it either." Sheeran put her arms across the podium pole, bent slightly and lowered her head, then raised her eyes again, "Such a resignation letter and message will definitely be envied by someone after seeing it." Me, right?"

"Or envy me even more." She added.

Fan Ning was stunned for a moment, unable to grasp the other party's emotions, so he could only agree with him:
"Well, of course there will be."

Sheeran answered the following questions: "I'm a little tired, but the environment of Turner Art Hall is much better than expected. Our school has given us a lot of protection, and Roy is also very caring. Mr. Kaplan His farewell performance caused an uproar in the music industry, and he may have been promoted directly to the "Forging Lion" artist. The number of reservations for the album of "Second Symphony" exceeded the four-star threshold by 12 times, and it was rated as "Five Stars with Flowers" unprecedentedly. Plus the key', I am afraid that the Special Patrol Office did not expect that the 'Kaplan Art Fund' would receive such extensive support."

Fanning stared at her unblinking at first, nodded as he listened, and then his pupils gradually lost focus again.

"Let's go over it from the beginning at dawn."

After a long, long time, in the empty church, he let out a long sigh:
"I was wondering when was the last time I saw him"

"It seemed like the day I brought the score to the nursing home, I repeatedly said 'remember to listen', but in fact my plan at the time was that as long as he was able to hold on that day, I would try to see if I could push him away. on stage."

"We are all the kind of conductors who have a clear understanding. If the music career has been completely cut off, then there is no point in living for a few more days, so even if it may accelerate the depletion of his life, I will still try. Push him up."

"As a result, he didn't break the appointment, but I didn't come to listen to it myself"

Fanning shook his head repeatedly.

The back of Kaprun raising his hand "OK" in the wheelchair appeared in his mind.

And the twilight of the empty nursing home lobby after the wheelchair disappeared around the corner.

There will be no more pictures in the future.

Hilan turned her head away slightly, looked at the clean ground of the podium, and said slowly, "Caroun, please tell Senior Sister Roy that she is safe."

So Fan Ning's gaze refocused, and the thread of inspiration swept across the rows of candlesticks in the corridor.

In fact, more people should be called to the United Dreams meeting today, and several important tasks should be clearly arranged face to face. This will be more conducive to coping with the current situation and clarify the future development path of the Turner Art Hall. However, I People who can tell the news that they are still alive. Not to mention Lu, Olga, and Congreve, I am afraid that even the president and the companions of the previous branch are not suitable.

Fan Ning considered the above issues, and Sheeran continued to speak softly: "Senior Roy has been traveling a lot more recently than me. If it wasn't for her preparations for the handover ceremony, the 'Kaplan Art Fund' would not have received With donations totaling 80 pounds from more than one hundred individuals or groups, it is impossible for such an unprecedented thing as the "five-star record with flowers" to be born. In addition to the proceeds from the group's own "Second Symphony" record, now we only have charitable deposits The amount has already exceeded 200 million pounds, but the Turner Art Hall is mine now, and she has not asked for anything other than the salary of the deputy head of the orchestra."

When the two looked at each other, she looked as usual: "It's not fair for me to tell Ping An."

Fan Ning bowed his head and plucked the strings loosely. After a long silence, he spoke:
"Of course I will invite her to participate in the next review meeting. As for other people, don't pass on any news about me, everyone else."

They can't go back anyway, and in most people's minds, it's better to be a missing person who is infinitely close to death.

He twined two beams of tangible light golden streamer on the candle flame.

A tall dark blue figure gradually took shape at another position on the stage.

"Good evening Roy-senpai." Sheeran took the initiative to greet.

Everything familiar here made Roy tremble slightly. She looked at Fanning who was holding the piano under the stage, then at Sheeran next to her, blinked, shook her head, blinked again, nodded again, and finally said to Sheeran smiled and said:
"Did I tell you to trust him?"

"Why did you change your hairstyle?" Fanning looked at Roy's high black hair.

"...It's just that the way of tying it is different." Roy also subconsciously supported the hairpin, and then waited for his next comment.

"oh oh."

The atmosphere of the golden church is solemn, quiet and awkward.

"Caron, what's the matter with that candlestick?" Xilan suddenly said, and the three of them followed the prestige.

The purple candle flame has a blood-red halo.

Yeah, why didn't Joan show up?
Fan Ning clearly sensed a dreamland inspired by "Sicilian Dance Music" just now.

He looked a little dignified, and walked in that direction cautiously.

It is estimated that Joan's previous troubles have not been eliminated, and she has made a comeback.

The blood-red halo made Fan Ning have a worrying guess. He was about to try to invest more threads of inspiration to stabilize the dream, but the soft and cold voice at the next moment made him startled. In a cold sweat:
"Don't pull me in, 'Miss Scarlet' is tracking the location of the Church of Enlightenment."

"Joan, is that you?" Sheeran heard the voice of her best friend. Although the temperament of her voice had changed a lot since that morning when she hugged and parted, she still couldn't help shouting.

Roy looked at the candlestick burning with purple flames in surprise. Some changes in Joan were clearly beyond her comprehension.

"It's me, this is enough to complete normal communication."

Joan's voice did not float from the candlesticks, but gently enveloped the entire church, like a surround sound effect.

"Caron, I don't know what deep-seated relationship this secret realm of migration has with you, but the current situation is that some high-level beings are eyeing it. Not long ago, you were tracked once in a dream. Fortunately, you played a role in restraining me by calling me, and I reminded you to pay attention to the wreckage of the 'Fountain in the Painting', and you should have some other means, so you finally woke up safely."

Sheeran and Roy were a little confused. Isn't the biggest trouble now the Special Patrol Office?How does it sound, there are more and more high-level mysterious factors involved in this matter?
"Sure enough, there are some problems." Joan's words confirmed Fanning's guess about the previous Blue Star dream.

Especially from running down the safety stairs by playing "Sicilian dance music" on the mobile phone, to running into the 24-hour shop on the side of the road, and then entering the closed space filled with red liquid, there are some transitional sleep patterns:

Walking through the mountains by myself, the destination seems to be a church, but I always feel that there is something unknown that will expose the target of this matter, so I divert several times to try to get rid of it, and then squat with a purple figure in a pile of scattered photos and music scores on, as if searching for something.
Looking back now,

The former is the subconscious warning of being tracked;

The latter is the subconscious understanding of Joan's reminder of the wreckage of the "Fountain in the Painting".

Fan Ning, who had various thoughts flashing through his mind, gradually calmed down: "I see, Joan, you should tell everyone about your own situation first, otherwise everyone will be confused in the follow-up. Of course, you can tell me about the details that are too private. Think it over."

Maybe there are many things to talk about in the reunion in the dream, but now we must return to the topic, there are many doubts that need to be discussed and sorted out. Facing the turbulent situation, Fan Ning still has a lot of follow-up actions that need to be explained.

"... Sheeran just told me about what happened in the Turner Art Hall, and everyone will add it later. After exchanging information from their respective perspectives, I need to hold a replay meeting and discuss with you. You discuss some follow-up arrangements."

The two people on the stage stretched their feet and sat down at the front of the stage. Sheeran's highly tense emotions these days have gradually turned into a relaxed and benign state. Just seeing Fan Ning sitting and saying these words, she felt All the sense of security in my heart came back.

"it is good."

So Joan started from the dispute with "Miss Scarlet" to the process of meeting with Fan Ning and the Special Patrol Office at the site of the "Great Court School", including the existence of the fourth type of origin and the relationship between "Okgang". The real identity has been clarified, but the relationship between himself and Bologna has been blurred.

This has already surprised the other two, especially Xilan who has been with Qiong for so many years.

So although the current Joan can't return to the waking world for the time being, she is stronger than Caroun?And the limit of the first level of comprehension is just a state where her strength has not recovered?Sheeran looked at the purple flame of the candle and felt that it was difficult to digest the amount of information in it for a while.

Roy, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. She added some details of the perspective of the Turner Art Hall and then confirmed: "So you said that 'Miss Scarlet' followed the Qiming Church, and it should be for the 'in the painting' in Mr. Is it the wreckage of Spring? From what I just heard, her climbing path before turning around is "cocoon", which has a twin relationship with your previous "Desolation". The wreckage of "Spring in the Painting" is like The wreck of the 'Hidden Lamp' is in you, which is the key factor for her to stabilize the cornerstone of psychic knowledge and compete for the 'Fruit of Pule Ruma'."

"Understanding is correct. However, 'Miss Scarlet' is one of the trackers, but not necessarily the only one. The wreckage of the 'Fountain in the Painting' should be one of the targets, but it is not necessarily the only one."

Joan's voice continued to ring in the church.

"The entanglement of the secret history is intricate, think about the things involved in this series of events, the ruins of the third history, the wreckage of the Qiyuan God, the search of the special inspection hall, the 'apostle' incident of unknown power, and even qualitative The person or force who tracked the location of the Qiming Church in the past may be one party, or multiple parties, or it may be an individual act, or it may be a game of interests. The target may be this place itself, or there may be other people stored here. Some item or secret."

The conversation between the two made Fanning frown. Yes, this explained some of the doubts in the dream, a small part, but not all, such as the unknown existence who questioned himself about Shostakovich's works.

But Joan said so many "maybes" and "maybes", the last point alone is enough to pose a serious threat to her deep secrets. Here is a mobile phone that Fan Chenxun reminded to give him, with "Old Days" and "Drawings". "The Fountain of China", two artifacts of Yuanshen, and the key to the museum of unknown use!
Even if it's not Joan who is in dispute, but a passer-by, and he can't hand over the "fountain in the painting", what about the mobile phone?What about my disguise in the Southern Continent?
"It's a very dangerous warning." Fanning plucked the strings after thinking for a while and said, "Then, now is the time to go through all the doubts one by one."

The "gel membrane" under the podium was brought out by an invisible force and quietly suspended in the air.

"First of all, I need to collect some more information about this ritual vessel, the more the better."

Joan immediately resumed speaking.

Her words directly frightened Fanning so much that the invisible force dissipated, and the gel membranes spun and fell to the ground.

"This thing is also related to 'Miss Scarlet'."
