Foreseeing
After performing once, I didn't stop there. The surging impulse to perform had already caused my heart to have nothing else. After performing three more times, my entire body became hot and unbearable. The thirty-six acupuncture points felt numb and swollen. Slowly, slowly, the thirty-seventh acupuncture point began to move. It slowly began to resonate with the other thirty-six acupuncture points. Finally, it clearly throbbed once, then twice, thrice…until now, I had no choice but to stop, even if my heart didn't want to stop. However, I knew that if I continued to play, I would only receive pain and pain.
The gains from this performance had exceeded my expectations. Just the first performance had actually reached the upper limit of my body's endurance, and I had even made a breakthrough. Through this, my physique would improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. This improvement wasn't just in terms of strength, toughness, and other external appearances. It was also a way to excavate the limits of my body's potential. From the experiments in my previous life, the earlier such extreme conditions appeared, the more frequent they were, and the greater my potential would be. But no matter what, I never thought that my first performance could achieve such an effect.
I let out a long breath. Only now did I realize that my entire body was soaked in sweat. A sense of powerlessness instantly spread throughout my entire body. Waves of fatigue assaulted me. When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by darkness.
I couldn't help but laugh bitterly in my heart. I didn't expect that performing three times would consume so much of my energy. Actually, I should have thought of this long ago. This time, I was blinded by my desire and was too impulsive.
As I thought about this, I felt my body tilt, as if I had suddenly fallen into an abyss. I felt as if my entire body was falling at an extremely high speed. Then, what welcomed me wasn't the cold and hard floor. I felt as if I had fallen into a warm and fragrant embrace. A faint and elegant fragrance entered my nose, and I vaguely felt as if I had heard a voice drifting further and further away…

"Madam, the doctor said that Young Master Komuro is fine. It's just a stress response caused by excessive exertion from strenuous exercise. After replenishing a large amount of glucose, there's no problem. He will wake up soon. The doctor also instructed that it's best to prepare some food because Young Master Komuro will feel very hungry when he wakes up.”
The butler who was standing in front of Yuriko Takagi reported the situation regarding Takuro Komuro respectfully but systematically. After hearing the report, Yuriko Takagi finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Actually, the shock that this child named Takashi Komuro had brought to her was still echoing in her heart. She was still at a loss as to what to do when he suddenly fainted.
All along, Yuriko had always viewed geniuses as equals. Because she was one of the many geniuses in the army, she knew that while geniuses might be smarter than the average person, they were not inhumane. Talent was only the foundation of becoming a genius. Hard work was the key to becoming a genius.
However, today, this knowledge of hers was completely shattered. She was sure that this was the first time that Takashi Komuro had come into contact with the piano in his own house. She was confident that she still had the foresight. Although the piano variations of Pachabel were also changed from Canon D major, she was sure that she could still distinguish the differences.
As someone who loved the piano, she would definitely be able to enter a music academy if her family hadn't stopped her. She was definitely above average. She might not have heard all the songs, but she was sure that such a fresh and beautiful canon song that was different from the usual had never appeared before.
How would she know that the song that Takashi Koburo was playing was a song that was popular on the Internet and was sought after by countless people in the other world? Naturally, it was because of the time, and also because the world was different. It was unknown if this song would appear in this world, so she naturally had not heard it before. Therefore, she was now wondering which version of Canon was played by Takashi Komuro. Was it a new version or a version that had never appeared before? This question echoed in her mind.
Although canon was just a technique for playing a tune, its wide application and beautiful melody were loved by the public. She could guarantee that among all the canon songs, this song was the most beautiful and mesmerizing one she had ever heard.
Her heart was unable to calm down for a long time. Regardless of the tune, it was already beyond common sense for a child who played the piano for the first time to reach such an extraordinary perfection. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they had received piano education, how many people could perform this piece to such a level at the age of five? She asked herself, with her current level, she would never be able to play better than this child even if she had some time to practice.
She let out a long breath, and a thought instantly burned in her heart. She knew that she had met a true genius. She already liked this child very much, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
Finally, they had coaxed Rei and Saya to finish their meal. Now, the two children were playing in the room upstairs. Yuriko was guarding by Takashi Komuro's bed. A food box was placed beside him. The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. There were only two soft breathing sounds that alternated with each other.
Yuriko looked at the child lying on the bed, a satisfied smile hanging on her red face. Although she was childish, she still looked handsome. She told herself that this child would definitely be a handsome man in the future, and she couldn't help but smile. She thought to herself, if this child could become a couple with her daughter when he grows up... She couldn't help but laugh at herself. Her fate wasn't set yet, and she was thinking too far ahead.
I felt the power in my body slowly recovering, and my mind gradually became clear. It was as if a strange sound had filled my mind. An indescribable pressure brought with it endless fear, and in an instant, my entire body and mind were stuck. The danger had long surpassed the ordinary level of danger. How long had it been since I had experienced this familiar yet unfamiliar danger? However, the sense of danger this time was thousands of times more intense and severe than before. Even the sense of danger that directly threatened my life seemed to become insignificant under this impact. Just as I was about to carefully sense the immense danger and endless fear, I opened my eyes in the next moment.
Desolation, endless desolation. The land was completely desolate. Then, I saw many staggering figures. They were humans. Yes, those lonely and staggering figures who seemed to be sick were humans. They walked through the desolate streets and dilapidated buildings. My vision seemed to be rapidly zooming in. Then, a sense of disgust rose from the bottom of my heart. How were they humans? They were clearly corpses that were extremely tattered, revealing their white bones and internal organs. It was an unimaginable scene. He felt as if his body had been sucked into a vortex. When he opened his eyes again, everything that had happened earlier seemed to have become a dream. A pair of beautiful eyes filled with concern appeared in front of him.
" Ah, Aunt Gao Cheng--" I sat up abruptly from the bed, but my stomach was rumbling like a drum. I was so hungry, really hungry. I knew it very well, because the previous performance not only consumed energy, but also strengthened my physique and dug out my potential. The consumption was definitely beyond my imagination. It had already involved some things in my genes and cells. Of course, that kind of change could not be done overnight. However, even if it was just the prelude to the beginning, the consumption was not as simple as it seemed.
"Hehe, Xiao, you must be hungry. Come, Auntie got someone to make porridge for you. There are many herbs that nourish your blood and qi in it. You scared me earlier.”Yuriko Takagi smiled and opened the food box beside her. She first scooped a bowl of fragrant porridge for me.
My stomach was so hungry that I couldn't take it anymore. I hurriedly thanked him and took a bowl. I took a sip first. The temperature was just right. Moreover, when I tasted the slightly bitter porridge, there was a faint sweetness. After taking a sip, I immediately felt comfortable in my stomach.
After drinking six small bowls in a row, he felt that his stomach was already slightly bloated. He forced himself to stop the urge to continue eating the porridge. I knew that I had consumed too much energy. Although I still felt very hungry, that hunger was the body's need for nutrients. My stomach was almost full. If I didn't control myself, my stomach would only hurt a little. It wouldn't be anything new if I stuffed myself to death.
"Auntie Gao Cheng, sorry for the trouble. Thank you. I'm already full.”
I handed the bowl and chopsticks to Aunt Yuriko. She placed them on the table and smiled at me.
"Xiao, are you full? I've already called your mother and told her that you're staying over tonight, so don't worry.”
I nodded in agreement. Actually, when I was unconscious, I was already regretting my actions. My situation was too simple, and I was just a five-year-old child. How complicated could it be? I definitely didn't learn the piano in the five years I was born in this world. So how could I solve the problem of playing the piano today? The piano was not a simple instrument, and it was not an instrument that could be played smoothly in one or two days. It seemed that he had gone too far today. He had to quickly find an excuse to fool him.
As expected, Yuriko Takagi changed the topic and asked gently,""Xiao, auntie wants to ask you, have you learned piano before?”
I thought to myself that he had indeed come. I instantly split my mind into two and activated my multitasking ability. My sub-consciousness responded while my main consciousness continued to think. Then, I pretended to be nonchalant as I sized up the layout of the room and replied,"No!"
After answering, I immediately shut my mouth. That's right, if my thoughts were controlling the entire process, I would have said some other explanations. In this way, perhaps Auntie Yuriko would have been deceived by me at that time, but as long as she thought about it carefully, she would immediately discover the abnormality. How could a simple-minded child have such a delicate mind, and how could he do everything possible to defend himself? From the looks of it, this multitasking skill was simply heaven-defying. It truly turned him into a childish child. There was no need to deliberately disguise himself, and there would naturally be no flaws.
"No? How is that possible? Then how did you know how to play the song just now?”Although she was mentally prepared, Yuriko Takagi still found it hard to believe.
My main consciousness was operating at high speed, transmitting the results I had thought of to my sub-consciousness. As for how to organize my words and how to express them, I didn't care at all. It was all up to the sub-consciousness to express them. It felt like I was watching a performance from the perspective of a third party.
I saw that the child named Takashi Komuro, who was under my control, immediately became excited.
"Auntie Gaocheng, two days ago, on the way home, I heard the sound of the piano. There was a big sister playing the piano in a big house. Later, when I went in, it was changed to an uncle playing. He played very well. He was so handsome."
I felt that I was waving my arms and legs as I spoke, and even my face was flushed with excitement. I was showing my envy appropriately. Even I believed that this was what I had experienced personally.
Then, I suddenly pouted and said angrily,"That uncle played really well. I watched him play from behind. When he finished playing, I even applauded him. But that uncle was so stingy. He chased me out and didn't let me watch…"
Then, as if I had discovered a new continent, I trembled on the bed and said,"Auntie Gao Cheng, this bed is so soft. It's much better than my bed…Auntie? Auntie? What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yuriko Takagi's mind seemed to be filled with thunderclaps. She did not know how to face the child in front of her. Her mouth was agape and her mind was blank.
Logically speaking, as the wife of the head of a large family, Yuriko Takagi had to deal with all kinds of situations. She had experienced all kinds of situations, but what she was experiencing now was too... too abnormal. Even so, she still calmed down and asked bitterly,
"Then the song that Xiao played just now was played by that uncle?”
I shook my head innocently and looked at Takagi Yuriko.""No, that uncle played much longer than me. I can't remember. I only remember this much, and I seem to have remembered a lot wrongly…"
After Yuriko Takagi arranged for Takuro to sleep, she walked out of the room in a daze.
He was known as a genius child prodigy. It was said that he was very smart and talented in music since he was young. He could roughly perform any piece he had heard. He composed the first violin sonata at the age of six, the first symphony at the age of eight, the first piano concerto at the age of eleven, and the lovely opera Bastian and Bastiana at the age of twelve. However, there were few musical geniuses like him. He was the only one in the entire world!
Of course, Yuriko Takagi knew about the rumors of these musical geniuses. However, even though she knew, she never thought that she would be lucky enough to meet a child who was not inferior or even more outstanding. This made her unable to react for a moment. A great musician like Moxie might leave a heavy mark in history when people mentioned him hundreds of years later. She would become a character in the story that later generations would talk about.
How could she not be excited? How could she calm down?
Changing a song was not something that could be done with just a few words. The things involved in it were impossible to complete without systematic learning, but now it had appeared in front of her.
When a five-year-old child first came into contact with the piano, after a short period of adaptation, she actually simplified and adapted a piece that she had only heard once. What was even more unbelievable was that the adapted piece was more beautiful than the original piece. If someone told her about this, she would definitely think that person was joking. But now that such a thing had happened in front of her, even when she returned to her bedroom and lay on her bed, she still could not believe it. Was all of this true? Was there really such a genius in the world? It was only after several rounds of confirmation that she was convinced.
After watching Yuriko Takagi leave, I couldn't help but sigh in relief. I had finally passed this stage. Moreover, thinking about it carefully, the result of doing so today might bring him unexpected convenience. Although this kind of accident made him inevitably shocked and afraid, as long as he could achieve his goal, it might not be the most direct shortcut.
Lying on the bed, I quietly opened my eyes wide and looked at the dark sky. I had completely let go of today's piano performance. At this time, I was thinking about the huge sense of danger I felt when I was unconscious and the terrifying and strange scene I saw.
As a martial artist, I might have scoffed at things like premonitions before I was fifty years old since I hadn't experienced any storms in my previous life. However, after experiencing all kinds of storms for a hundred or twenty years, I definitely wouldn't ignore my feelings.
In my previous life, I had a premonition that my life would end. Yes, that was an inevitable outcome of history. However, the key was that I had a premonition of the exact time, and it was extremely accurate. In addition to many similar things, I had given my sixth sense, which was beyond my imagination, firm support. The feeling just now was not an illusion. This was confirmed by the lingering pressure on my body after I woke up. The moving corpses that could only be seen in sci-fi movies gave the source of the matter.
I couldn't help but feel my heart sink. What was that thing? A zombie? Or was it something else? What was the cause of this outcome? And when did the matter erupt? I knew nothing about all of this. I truly knew nothing about the history that was bound to happen. A feeling of helplessness spread through my heart, making it difficult for me to breathe.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that the sense of danger was gradually dissipating. It wasn't even intentional. I couldn't feel anything at all. At the same time, even my tense nerves couldn't help but relax. It was as if the premonition I had when I was unconscious was just an illusion. I couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Based on my past experience, whenever I felt a sense of danger, it would definitely give me some sort of relevant or direct hint. And that feeling would linger after it was formed, and as the day approached, the feeling would become clearer. Of course, it would usually take at most ten days for me to sense that something was about to happen, and sometimes it would even happen in the next moment. But what was going on now? That sense of danger that had disappeared and my mind that had involuntarily relaxed…I was momentarily confused.
