Chapter 855: Chapter 855: The Soul of the Dancer Never Perished
The background music starts…
It is desolate, sorrowful, interspersed with the sound of drizzling rain.
At this moment, the audience in front of the live broadcast hold their breath.
They understand now, this Shadow Dancer is the despairing youth from behind the curtain.
Little Taotie gently approaches him, her fair and tender little hands like the softest wings of an Angel, lightly brushing over the eye mask. She waves her hand to the Shadow Dancer, indicating: It’s okay.
She takes the hand of the Shadow Dancer, pulling him up from the ground.
The music suddenly changes!
The melody becomes lively, as if carrying the fresh scent of awakening grass wafting towards them…
The little girl is like a sprite frolicking in the forest, holding the Shadow Dancer’s hand, leading him to dance with her, immersed together in the joyful music.
It’s as if telling him that it’s okay, dance, dance, dance! All worries will vanish in the spinning!
Missing an eye doesn’t matter.
Wounds on the face don’t matter.
The curtain behind is repaired again, projecting a scene of a group of young girls dancing.
These girls have one thing in common, they only have one leg.
Yet with just one leg, they perform the most graceful dances, and intense applause rises from the audience below the stage.
The scene changes to a group of people communicating in sign language.
They don their most beautiful dance attire, standing on the world’s stage.
They stand in rows, suddenly unfolding the most beautiful “scroll” – Thousand-hand Guanyin!
This is an awe-inspiring dance!
The applause from the audience lasts for a long time.
Little Taotie points at the curtain, clapping towards the Shadow Dancer, indicating that he too is the best dancer, deserves applause, and should bravely stand on the stage!
Perhaps encouraged by the little girl, or maybe the dancers in the curtain gave him courage, he slowly takes off his mask, revealing a face with scars.
He is actually very handsome, with a cool, stylish look.
Compared to the image full of scars in the scene, he looks much better now.
Besides the deep scar from the corner of his eye to his cheekbone, the other scars are barely visible.
Since he’s wearing an eye mask, it actually covers half of that scar.
[The shadow is so cool!]
[Have confidence, you’re so handsome, a little scar can’t hide your charming face!]
[Brother, you’re shining!]
[Don’t you think wearing an eye mask is cool, you don’t even need sunglasses, no mask, you look amazing !]
[Cool Guy, boldly show your face, we scream for you, cheer for you, applaud you!]
He throws away the mask in his hand, as if breaking free of shackles, the music tempo quickens, he dances with the rhythm like an eagle breaking free from a cage, soaring between the blue sky and white clouds.
He holds Little Taotie’s hand, and they dance together.
The drums sound again!
The two simultaneously perform a backflip!
They thought it was over, who knew the drum sounds would suddenly fall like raindrops.
Little Taotie and the Shadow Dancer are like two fans, furiously flipping somersaults.
[Just want to ask, do you get dizzy?]
[This high-difficulty move…so amazing!]
The drum sounds stop, and the two land steadily.
Little Taotie picks up the teddy bear and lifts it high, with cheers of a triumphant army sounding behind them on the curtain, and the sound of victory horns rings out.
The Shadow Dancer smiles, his intact eye facing the camera, in this eye there’s no despair, no longer empty, a light gradually brightening from deep within the pupil, he softly sings:
“With a loyal heart, I pacify the chaotic world, and in my hand, a spear defines the kingdom…”
“Even if I am outnumbered by the enemy, I can still take the enemy general’s head amidst a thousand troops…”
“The soul of a warrior, never extinguished…”
“I shall not fail the mission.”
