Chapter 788 Gunshots rang out (please collect, recommend and vote, please vote monthly)
Sheila's performance was still going on, and before the chorus was finished, the place exploded. It wasn't that there was an explosion, but the emotions of everyone in the place exploded.
Whether they are fans of Sheila or not, everyone is conquered by this song.
This song "Something Just Like This", a collaboration between Coldplay and The Chainsmokers, is not considered their best work, but it is definitely a popular work. The words are very simple, but it can convey a subtle emotion, and it can definitely hit the audience. The softest place in a person's heart.
The melody is EMD electronic dance music but combined with a bit of classical music style. Once you listen to it, you will never forget it. Everything has the characteristics of a divine comedy, but the artistry is really average.
However, for people who do not understand the art of music, it is enough to listen well. Just like the audience at the current competition, who will care about art or not.
In the chorus part, Sheila showed off her high notes, which directly brought the atmosphere of the scene into high gear. The decibel level of the cheers at the scene has broken the record.
Sela walked towards the sidelines while stepping on the interlude. Young Master Xu was sitting there with a wary look on his face. This woman must not do anything wrong.
Sure enough, the woman directly handed the microphone to Xu Chuan, and her meaning could not be more obvious.
Xu Chuan stared at her without saying a word. Now that all the cameras and the audience's eyes were on the two of them, it would probably not be a good idea to curse at her at this time.
Xue La was very determined this time and had already played the interlude twice. If Xu Chuan really didn't take over, it must have been a performance accident.
Go back and deal with you later, Xu Chuan cursed secretly, then reached out and took the microphone amidst the exclamations of all the audience.
Xu Chuan didn’t even stand up. He took the microphone and went straight into the second verse of the verse.
His voice is deeper than Sheila's. To everyone's surprise, his voice is not bad, and this song is indeed more suitable for male voices.
This game was not only broadcast live across the United States, but domestic sports channels also had broadcast seats at the scene. Master Xu's first live performance was broadcast back to China, and then the domestic Twitter server almost went down.
Of course, these are all small things. Xu Chuan sang the main song and chorus before returning the microphone to Xue La. Xue La knew that this person could do this to such an extent, which was a great honor to her, so she made another finishing touch. , the completeness and gimmicks of the entire song are all there.
The fierce cheers of more than 20,000 spectators at the scene almost toppled the roof of Staples Center. This was much better than the dull game before.
Xue La waved to the audience with a smile on her face, and her whole body became excited. The feeling of being in the spotlight was so refreshing, while Master Xu sat on the sidelines and covered his forehead. He felt that he was in big trouble.
The old man sitting behind Xu Chuan patted his shoulder hard and said, "Chinese boy, this song is really good." Xu Chuan was about to cry but had no tears, so did he need to exert so much force?
Celebrities from all walks of life on the sidelines got down from their seats one after another and hugged Sheila. They knew very well that this woman would definitely be the biggest winner of this year's Grammy. At this time, there are only advantages and no disadvantages to the popularity.
The TV station knows how to do things very well. The camera has been pointed at several of Sheila's competitors, and they are all close-ups.
No one paid attention to the rest of the performance, and it almost ended hastily. Even after the second half of the game started, everyone's focus was still on Sheila.
I don’t know if they were stimulated by the midfield performance. The players from the two teams who appeared on the field again played much more actively than before, and the scene was much better.
"Tell me, you're not angry." Xue La carefully looked at Xu Chuan beside her. She decided to do this when she was preparing backstage. She didn't want to get more heat, but she wanted to stand with him. Under the spotlight, when she was watching the live broadcast in the dressing room, she saw clearly that Bichi came to take advantage of the situation. She wanted to declare her sovereignty in this way.
Xu Chuan rolled his eyes. This woman's acting skills could really be praised, but he was really not angry. But of course, he didn't need to say it so clearly. Let her worry for a while first, and then deal with her when he gets back. .
"I'm very angry, so think about how to calm me down." Xu Chuan looked unhappy.
Xue La, who already knew the other person's character, was not too worried. If this guy was really angry, he would ignore her. She directly leaned into Xu Chuan's ear and said a word in a sweet voice.
Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows. Could this woman be looking down on him too much? Is he the kind of person who can be seduced by black silk? After thinking about it, he leaned into the other person's ear and said additional conditions.
Sela bit her lip and looked at him with burning eyes, her legs couldn't help but tighten a little.
The game is still going on, and similar to the lively scene, another blockbuster scene is taking place in the VIP area of Staples Center.
A black man wearing a cleaner's uniform appeared outside a VIP box. A security guard not far away waved to stop him, "Hey, sir, this is not the place you should be here."
I just didn't expect that the guy in front of me had no martial ethics at all. He raised the 92FS hidden behind him and fired directly, and then three armed men ran out from the corner.
They ignored the corpses on the ground and divided into two groups to stand outside the two boxes.
The cleaner was clearly dressed as their commander. With his wave, the two groups rushed into the box almost at the same time.
Those who can watch the game here are either rich or noble. These people are obviously selected specific targets.
"Who are you?" There was a family of four in the box. The male host stood up from his seat in surprise and looked at the two uninvited guests.
"Congressman Struth, it's really troublesome to find you." The cleaner raised the gun in his hand and put it on the other party's head. The silencer that had just been fired directly burned a blister on the congressman's head. come out.
Mr. Congressman screamed and fell on the sofa, "Who are you? Don't hurt my family."
A fashionable and beautiful woman in her thirties, holding two children in her hands, was about to cry.
The black cleaner shook his head contemptuously, "We will not harm women and children. We are here just for trial."
After speaking, he and his companions **** the family of four with zip ties and gagged their mouths with tape.
They didn’t close the door and looked like they weren’t worried about being discovered.
The same was true in the box on the other side. A black man in formal attire was knocked to the ground by a masked gangster and his hands were tied behind his back.
The black man was standing in the corridor. Someone had already noticed their situation. He took out his walkie-talkie and heard a call, "Xin Kou, we have occupied the information center."
“Copy that, let’s start now.” The black man named Xin Kou took the AK47 rifle from his companion’s hand and pulled the trigger directly towards the ceiling of the corridor. …
During the timeout, the hairs on Young Master Xu's neck stood up instantly as he was sitting on the sidelines watching the game. He was very sure that there was a gunshot just now and it was definitely not a recording. He stood up and pulled Xila's hand. The arms move towards the entrance channel.
"Hey, what's wrong?" The inexplicable Sheila was staggered by him. The nearest passage happened to go through the stadium, and the two of them instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Xu Chuan didn't have time to explain. He didn't know what happened, but one thing was certain. The sound of the powerful bullet in the middle of the M43 should never appear here. "Don't ask, just follow me." While speaking, he raised his hand. He made a gun gesture with Curtis in the stands.
Sheila did not continue to struggle. She knew this person’s character well, so she chose to trust him.
Others in the stands did not realize the seriousness of the problem. When they saw the two of them walking across the court, some laughed and some booed.
But the chaos had already begun, starting with the VIP area. There were more than 200 VIP boxes in the Staples Center. These people heard the gunshots first, and many people ran out of the boxes.
These gangsters did not shoot at the crowd. If they had done so, it would definitely have been the deadliest shooting in the history of the United States.
However, they did not do this. Instead, according to their own plan, after capturing the target, they began to move towards the infield stands.
They know very well that it is impossible to control so many people with their own hands, so the best way is to capture the biggest ones. Now they have partially succeeded, and this competition facing the world is a rare one for them. Chance.
The crowd in the auditorium also heard gunshots. It is undeniable that these American people are really sensitive to this kind of thing. Most of them responded very skillfully. However, when several armed gangsters suddenly appeared in the stands and raised their guns, When they fired at the big screen in the center of the field, they all ran away like frightened rabbits.
This is especially true for the players. With their super athletic talents, they all ran towards the player tunnel.
There are many entrances and exits to the Staples Center, and it is certainly impossible for these gangsters to control them all, but their targets are not these civilians, but the players and big stars near the venue.
Xu Chuan had just walked out of the player tunnel at this time. The gunshots rang out behind him made him want to curse and not let him bring the gun in. How did these people do it?
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine, just follow me.” Xu Chuan comforted Xue La. If he remembered correctly, the passage here can lead directly to the parking lot, it will be safe as long as you go out.
Sheila shook her head, she was now full of confidence in this man.
But it was obvious that her confidence was useless. As soon as she turned a corner, two masked gunmen blocked the way.
Xu Chuan once again scolded the security at Staples Center. Without a gun, it was impossible for him to fight against two gangsters armed with AK47 rifles. He quickly retreated and pulled Xila to hide in the crowd behind. There were several human flesh. Sandbags are also good.
“Go back, everyone, go back.” The two gangsters shouted while shooting at the feet of the crowd. Several elderly people were frightened and fell to the ground.
However, the two gangsters ignored these people. Their goals were very clear. With so many people, they only needed to seize the most important ones.
Xu Chuan hid in the crowd and frowned. The people around him were almost running away in a hurry. Why not pounce on the opponent while there are only two of them? Although you may die, others will have a better tomorrow.
Just like that, a group of people were blocked back by the opponent again. Not only them, but the people in the other player channel were also blocked back.
The outside of the Staples Center was already in chaos. The LAPD system was full of police calls, and SWAT was already on its way.
After some hard work, these robbers successfully reduced the number of hostages they controlled to more than eighty people, which was the limit that the five of them could control. Of course, this did not include the internal agents who were currently controlling the information center.
Xu Chuan and the two were hiding in the crowd. He looked around and Curtis was not here. This kid should have ran out during the chaos, but based on Xu Chuan's understanding, Curtis should still be waiting for an opportunity inside the Staples Center. .
If you guess wrong, then fire him after the incident.
These people are also very strange. Xu Chuan can tell that they are not professional military personnel, and there are men and women. If his gun is still there, it is absolutely impossible to be trapped here, MD, **** the security.
Several robbers began to block various passages. Xu Chuan was very confused. Was this a suicide attack?
This is a desperate situation. There are more than 200 entrances and exits to Staples, and there is no way to defend them. The only bargaining chips in these people's hands are hostages. But everyone knows that the police cannot compromise, so the behavior of these people is very intriguing. .
He doesn’t think there are people besides those who have been brainwashed who can sacrifice for their ideals. Maybe there are also people in China and the United States, forget it.
But these are not the things he needs to consider now. The most important thing at the moment is to save his life, or to find a way to put himself last in the order when the robbers kill the hostages.
As for whether he can kill the opponent, it is possible, but the risk is too high. He really doesn't need to take the risk. There are more than eighty people. If he is placed in the middle, they have to kill forty first. It shouldn't be a big problem.
As long as the other party doesn't mess with him, Master Xu promises not to use force first.
“Everyone squat down, everyone squat down.” One of the gangsters yelled. The clear voice indicated that it was a woman, but the loose clothes covered her curves.
Xu Chuan pulled Xue La to squat down, then put the hood of her sweater on her, and hid a utility knife that came from the technical table into his sleeve.
This woman didn't seem to be nervous at all. She raised her head and winked at him playfully, and then said in a low voice, "I wonder if Ravi and the others have gone out."
Xu Chuan replied in the same low voice, "Lavi is not here, he should have gone out." During the previous game, Ravi went to the bathroom, and it was possible that he was lucky enough to escape.
"That's good." After hearing what he said, Xue La actually showed a smile on her face, which was completely different from the others around her. Young Master Xu was speechless. Is this woman crazy?
Things became increasingly chaotic. You must know that the live broadcast was not interrupted when the shooting occurred. The panic at the scene was transmitted to all parts of the world through television signals.
The media all over the world were agitated, and then became excited. This may very well become a hostage incident at the Moscow Palace of Culture in the United States, and the consequences may be even more serious.
Because these hostages include star players from two basketball teams in Los Angeles and New York, as well as a large number of local celebrities in Los Angeles.
If something happens to one of these people, it will be big news, let alone dozens of them here.
