Chapter 31: Devil

Shen Lou's team is wearing white longsleeves with different styles. Shen Lou has a long sleeve on his left arm while his right arm is sleeveless. The three buttons on his shirt are unbuttoned, thus revealing his collarbone making him exude a slight abstinent yet sexy like temperament. Paired with long black pants, he looks like someone who's out straight from a comic book. In addition, they also notice that he's wearing a silver earring on his right ear, it's shining like a starlight amidst the dark atmosphere.

The background of their team is an old laboratory setting. There are computers around the desk and chairs with virtual holograms hanging in the air made by their mental powers. What was the most eye-catching was in the center, there is a bright red apple inside a protective glass. It seems to be the subject that they want to study.

In the beginning of their performance, they also did a little play just like what He Yan's team did. Each of them seems to be busy studying in front of either the computers and the documents scattered around.

Until Qin An stood up and walked closer to the apple.

Everyone's eyes were glued to the young man in front. He was wearing a white long sleeves with a long extended cloth hanging behind as if it was a long white coat of a doctor. His right hand was wearing a white glove covering the slender pale hand which he raised and gently slid his finger on the protective glass while his other hand was inside his pocket. If it weren't for the two unbuttoned buttons on his upper collar revealing a bit of his delicate skin inside him, he seems like a cold and stoic scientist from a thriller mystery novel.

Time seems to stop except for the young man who slowly opens the protective cover and stretches out his gloved hand towards the bright red apple. Qin An successfully caught the apple and brought it closer towards his lips.

The audience didn't know but they seemed to hear a loud heartbeat beside their ears as their eyes glued towards the apple that seemed to seduce them. It's clearly just like an ordinary apple but they also seem to smell the fresh and sweet scent, enticing them to take a bite.

Qin An's eyes were lowered and he stared at the apple on his hand for a second before he slowly put the apple on his lips. Just as everyone thought he'll take a bite, the alarm suddenly sounded and the teammates around him seemed to awaken and look sharply at the traitor who tried to steal their precious apple.

The nine members quickly surrounded Qin An but the latter didn't seem to care. His thin lips were still kissing the apple skin, obviously wanting to take a bite if it weren't for the sudden disturbance. Qin An stilled for a few seconds before he slowly raised his gaze.

Everyone held their breath when they met the pair of dark orbs that appeared to be bottomless, seemingly wanting anyone for it to sink into the abyss willingly for him.

Then, a slow yet rhythmic piano tune begins to start. The nine members also face the audience and Shen Lou opens his lips to officially begin their performance.

"Walking to the aisle of darkness
Here I am caged in the abyss
There's a monster, monster
But I'm more than a monster..."

Save Me is a song about a devil who's longing for its own freedom. A devil who doesn't want to be entangled with the darkness that he's been with in all his life. Here, Shen Lou's team also begins to let the audience feel their inner shouts as if they were a real devil.

A silent cry of a devil who wants to break free from all the shackles on his body.

Qin An put back the apple inside the protective glass and joined the dance with the team. He turned and went in the middle while doing a perfect execution of the steps and he also sang his part.
