Chapter 4073 Red Moon
The host was in a coma, the photographer was unable to move, and the only character who could contribute to the highlight left.
Therefore, this live variety show has temporarily entered a hiatus.
While waiting for the live broadcast to restart, Angel lent some illusion nodes to Luigi.
"Are you really going to make "Uriel's Music Arena Defense"? " Luigi was a little surprised.
"Of course." Angel nodded, looking serious: "Satan Live Show is a variety show planned by Laplace to thank Turing."
"As Turing's owner, I must also produce a variety show."
Luigi silently stretched out his hand and pointed at himself: "So, you're targeting me?"
"It's not that I'm targeting you, it's just that you suddenly mentioned that you wanted to be the protagonist of a variety show, and I thought it was quite suitable, so I suddenly came up with the idea of doing a music variety show." Angel explained seriously.
Luigi curled his lips: "I just said it casually just now."
Angel: “But I took it seriously.”
Seeing Angel looking straight at him, Luigi pursed his lips and said, "Okay, what should I do now?"
Angel: "First make a preliminary material and produce the one or two duels that you think are the most interesting. I will show it to Turing then."
"If we think it can be made into a music variety show, then we will try to make it then."
Luigi thought about it and decided that since he had nothing to do now, he might as well record his wonderful duels and let Angel appreciate what elegant music is.
With the idea of giving Angel an "elegant shock", Luigi took over the illusion node...
While Luigi was making preliminary materials, Angel chatted with the water clone again.
Mainly to inquire about the situation on Sigismund's side.
Water clone: "In the past two days, the signal from Sigimund has been very poor. Only a brief picture was transmitted, without much information."
"But judging from this picture alone, Sigismund's life should be safe for the time being."
The water clone said this, lighting up another light screen in the air.
"The latest footage from The Adventures of Sigismund."
The words flickered for a moment, then slowly faded away, transforming into a slightly dim picture...
The main subject of the picture is a secluded lake surrounded by a circular mountain wall. The steep rock wall cuts a gap in the sky, and a silvery light falls from the top. It should be moonlight.
The silver moonlight poured into the clear lake, and the sparkling waves broke into thousands of fireflies, trembling gently among the waves.
A graceful figure can be vaguely seen in the lake. She has her back to the picture and seems to be clasping her hands together, praying to the moonlight above her head.
On the lakeside, inside the mountain not illuminated by the moonlight, a figure stood quietly on a rock, silently gazing at the quiet lake in front of him.
That’s the whole picture.
The figure on the lakeshore, judging by his broad shoulders, is Sigismund.
As for the person in the lake, we don’t know who she is because we can’t see her face, but she looks a bit like Zaina.
If we look at it purely from the perspective of the aesthetics of the picture, this time the picture is quite beautiful; but apart from the beauty, there are no other clues.
No, it can’t be said that there is none at all.
If the figure in the lake was Zaina, then at least we knew that Sigimund and Zaina had reunited.
From the images sent over the past few days, we can tell that Sigismund should have been secretly imprisoned.
But it seems someone is trying to save him.
If nothing unexpected happened, the person who tried to save Sigismund should be Zaina.
Therefore, if the person in the lake is Zaina, it at least means that Sigismund has been temporarily freed from hidden imprisonment and his life safety has been guaranteed to a certain extent.
Of course, these are just speculations and there is no evidence.
We can only wait and see if there are any updated images from Sigimund. It would be best if the images from the Dark Corner Guide were sent, so that we can know everything that has happened to Sigimund recently.
……
About an hour later.
Luigi was the first to hand over the prepared preliminary materials to Ingres. He showed an expression that said "Little one, I'll teach you a lesson". He had even prepared an expression in which Ingres would be shocked by his own music after watching the materials.
However, Ingres just read the material silently and then put it away without any expression.
“???” Is that it?
"Aren't you going to comment?" Luigi couldn't help but ask.
Angel thought for a moment and said, "If you insist, my evaluation is... not very good."
Luigi frowned, "What's wrong?"
"You are too strong and your opponent is too weak."
Luigi: "Doesn't this just reflect my strength?"
Luigi deliberately chose a matchup where his opponent was weak and completely crushed him, just to show how powerful he was.
But unexpectedly, Ingres felt bad?
What's wrong with that? Isn't this just right?
Faced with Luigi's questioning, Angel clicked his tongue twice and said nothing.
But the water clone next to him said, "Being strong is not achieved by bullying the weak."
Luigi: "I didn't bully him, this is the original material!"
Angel said silently: "It's not a problem with the original material, but... it's like letting a top pianist play "Two Tigers" with a Steinway. No matter how clear the sound under the keys is, laymen will only think 'oh, it's a nursery rhyme', and even discuss whether the melody is brainwash enough."
"What can really make experts hold their breath is the collision of those blurry scales and majestic chords when the same piano is used to perform Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 - laymen may not be able to hear the techniques, but they can feel the tremor of their blood being ignited, and the overwhelming 'simplicity' will only make the audience mistakenly believe that 'art is just that'."
Although Luigi had never heard "Two Tigers" and "Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3", he roughly understood what Ingres meant.
When a sharp axe is used to chop dead branches, onlookers will only think it is natural. But what really makes people admire is the use of an axe to split steel.
In a showdown between strong men, even if passers-by cannot feel the inner meaning, they can still enjoy the awe-inspiring atmosphere.
Luigi didn't expect that the crushing game he had deliberately chosen, thinking that it would demonstrate his strength, would actually backfire.
"How about I re-record a few peak duels?"
Angel shook his head: "No, it's just preliminary material anyway. Let Turing see if it can be made into a music variety show. If Turing approves, it won't be too late to remake it then."
Luigi sighed, "Okay..."
They had just handed over the materials for the music variety show, and new changes appeared on the screen of "Satan Live Show".

The door of a corridor in the palace was pushed open, and Edward walked out with a frown.
He quickly came to the bottom of the Ice Girl and Coleman, looked around, and after a moment, he locked onto a statue, walked up to the statue and activated the mechanism behind it.
After a while, the Ice Girl and Coleman were slowly lowered down.
"You maggots, how dare you keep me hanging for so long? I'm going to burn to death..." Satan, who had been cursing since he woke up, still couldn't forget his foul mouth even after being let go.
However, Coleman covered his mouth with his hand before he could finish his words.
Edward also said at the right time: "Although Reginald is not here, the punishment ceremony itself is still in progress. As long as you continue to insult, the punishment ceremony will definitely be triggered."
Satan's eyes paused.
Thinking of the experience of being struck by lightning and falling into a coma, Satan wanted to bite Coleman's hand hard to make him let go of him and continue to attack; but now he fell silent.
Coleman used sign language to ask: How's the situation over there?
Edward paused for a moment as he untied their chains, and then continued, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Mr. Reginald and Mrs. Beatrice are both old acquaintances of mine. They didn't do anything to me, they just asked me to help with my makeup and hair."
"Their situation..." Edward paused, looked back at a statue deep in the hall, and said softly, "We'll talk about it later."
Although he didn't say anything, Coleman understood that Edward's action was revealing that their every word and action was being watched.
Think about it too.
The entire palace was decorated for various ceremonies.
It is also normal to have rituals such as surveillance and wiretapping.
"The rest is not important for now. The most important thing now is that we have to make a decision."
Satan: What choice?
Edward glanced at Satan, who rarely refrained from swearing, and said, "I just heard from... that there is something that everyone in Wanmengyun Port must pay great attention to."
After a pause, Edward slowly said: "...The day of the red moon is about to come."
The moment Edward finished speaking, not only did Coleman and the Ice Girl stop moving, but even Satan's blazing purple fireworks seemed to have been paused.
The day of the red moon?!
How could it happen on the day of the red moon?
Before they entered Wanmengyun Port, Edward repeatedly emphasized the iron laws of survival in the Yi world. The one that made everyone most vigilant, and the one that was most likely to take everyone away in one wave, was the "Red Moon".
What is a red moon?
Actually it means literally: the moon is red.
In the ritual world, moonlight is the most deadly threat, and entering a building is the only way to avoid the moonlight.
However, this rule is completely meaningless in front of the "Red Moon".
When the red moon hangs high in the sky, even if you hide in a closed space, the scarlet moonlight will still penetrate the walls and floors, infecting everything it reaches.
This is the power of the red moon!
The only thing to be thankful for is that the red moon does not appear very often.
For example, when Edward first entered Yi Town, he lived there for a full six months before he encountered a red moon once.
Edward was just unlucky. In some places, the red moon hadn't appeared for decades.
Therefore, although Edward emphasized the danger of Red Moon before entering Wanmengyun Port, no one, including Edward himself, took it seriously.
They would only stay in Wanmengyun Port for a month at most, and the probability of encountering the Red Moon was very small.
But now, Edward clearly stated that the red moon was coming, which shocked them...
As Edward told the story, Coleman, the Ice Girl, and Angel who were watching the live broadcast all roughly understood the situation.
The arrival of the red moon is no coincidence.
Wanmeng Yungang is very special. Its special feature is not only that there is moonlight shining 24 hours a day, but there is also a more important situation - every ten days, there will be a strange phenomenon of a red moon in the sky in Wanmeng Yungang!
The red moon that appears every ten days is an objective fact that has lasted for thousands of years.
The next time the red moon appears will be exactly five days later!
Edward's words also made everyone understand why he had such a serious expression since he came out.
Because of the appearance of the red moon, their survival pressure has reached its maximum!
At this time, everyone recalled the main mission 1 again... Why this mission only allowed them to survive for days, because just surviving was extremely difficult.
Edward: "This is the situation now. The red moon appears. We can't escape even if we enter the building."
The most common way to avoid the red moon is to consume soul coins.
When the red moon appears, you can consume a certain number of soul coins to put up a protective shield, inside which the red moon cannot shine on you.
In addition, in some special areas, such as secret places or areas where specific rituals are held, the red moon can also be avoided.
"And this Phantom Corpse Temple has a ritual to avoid being illuminated by the red moon."
Edward said this and looked at everyone: "Now, we only have two choices."
"The first option is to leave here as soon as possible and go to Wanmengyun Port to earn enough soul coins to resist the red moon."
"The second option is to stay in the Phantom Corpse Temple and avoid the red moon in five days."
Edward looked at Coleman and the Ice Girl, wanting to hear their choice.
The Ice Girl stood silently behind Coleman, and her meaning was very clear: she would make whatever choice Coleman made.
Coleman did not make a decision immediately, but asked Edward for his opinion through Satan.
Especially for the second option, Coleman didn't think they could stay safely in the Phantom Corpse Temple. They would definitely have to pay something in exchange.
Edward's answer also confirmed Coleman's guess.
"Mr. Reginald is only a lower-level person in charge of the temple. He does not have the authority to allow us to stay in the temple for a long time..."
"So, if we want to stay in the temple, our identities can only be... prisoners."
In other words, they wanted to use the temple to survive the red moon. Then for the next five days, they could only be locked up in the cell below the temple and become prisoners.
According to Edward, after five days, Reginald would release them and give them freedom.
"If it were you, what choice would you make?" Coleman asked Satan to ask Edward.
Edward was silent and said, "Both choices are difficult, but in comparison, I personally think that choosing to stay in the temple will be less difficult."
Because, although the soul coins can support the protective shield to resist the red moon, the protective shield will be continuously consumed.
Therefore, it is necessary to continuously replenish soul coins to prevent the red moon from penetrating into the protective shield...
According to Edward's experience, maintaining a single-person shield for one night would consume at least 450 soul coins. If one wanted to expand the range of the shield, the consumption would be even greater.
450 soul coins is a huge amount that an average person cannot save even after decades.
It took Edward half a year to save up so many soul coins, but they were all used up overnight because of the coming of the red moon...
"If we leave the temple now, we only have five days."
In five days, they have to earn at least a thousand soul coins to resist the red moon.
To Edward, this was too unrealistic.
So after weighing the two options, Edward suggested staying in the temple for now.
