Chapter 42: The Sound of the Piano
"Why don't you let me in, my brother Ye Feng is in this academy!" A young girl in a waiter's uniform stood at the gate of the War College, shouting to the doorman in a huff.
The girl has blue hair and pink pupils, which is very cute.
Recently, due to the mysterious black shadow incident, the War College has assigned guards to strictly probe the people who come and prevent unidentified people from entering the academy.
The doorman asked, "What's your name?" ”
The girl put her hands around her shoulders and said with a childish little face, "Jinx." ”
It may be Jinx's harmless appearance, the doorman relented, he took out a pen and a notebook, and handed them to Jinx.
Jinx impatiently took the notebook and pen, wrote her name on it, and said impatiently: "Uncle, is this okay?" ”
The doorman nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for Jinx to quickly disappear from his sight. Jinx grimaced mischievously at the doorman and stepped into the War College.
……
Seven days have passed since Ye Feng woke up, as early as three days ago, Ye Feng had fully recovered, and then he followed Fiona to visit Sivir and Ahri, and after returning, he began to accompany Fiona in the morning to compete with swords, and in the afternoon to practice the power of arbitration taught by Wuxin.
In the past seven days, the attacks on summoners have become more and more frequent, and people in the War College have panicked. However, since Ye Feng woke up, he has never been attacked by a mysterious black shadow. In this regard, Ye Feng, Wuxin, and Fiona agreed that the dark shadow liked the summoner's soul, and the last attack on Ye Feng was purely accidental.
Looking at the gradually fading sky, Ye Feng took a deep breath, I don't know how many summoners will die in their dreams tonight, or they will go crazy because of it.
But it's useless to think about it so much, it's not something he should care about, and his ability can't do much to solve this matter.
It's time to go back to sleep, Ye Feng waved his hand at Wuxin, and then looked at Varus, who would sit next to him every day to watch his cultivation, and then turned to leave.
However, Ye Feng didn't know that the moment he turned around, a black shadow passed by him. And Wuxin took this detail into account, but Wuxin didn't take action. He pretended not to notice the shadow, but secretly watched the shadow's every move.
It didn't take long for Varus to leave, and at this time, he unintentionally noticed that the black shadow had quietly sneaked underground, and quietly followed Varus.
"You can't escape this time!" He muttered as he stared in the direction the shadow and Varus had left.
……
"Brother!" Ye Feng was attracted by the sweet voice behind him, and he looked back, wasn't this the sister Jinx he recognized in the alley last time?
Ye Feng walked up to Jinx with a smile and asked, "Sister, why are you here?" ”
Jinx took Ye Feng's hand and leaned against his chest, although it was not fully developed, Ye Feng could still feel a little touch. Jinx said coquettishly: "Can't you come to see my brother if it's okay?" But this time there is really something, I heard Sister Suona say that many summoners in your academy have died in dreams recently, and even if they wake up, they will be crazy, is it true? ”
Ye Feng looked at Jinx suspiciously, and asked, "Yes, but why are you asking this?" ”
Jinx suddenly let go of his hands, put them behind him, and said with a serious face: "If yes, then that black shadow is the eternal nightmare demon Teng, feeding on human dreams, and he doesn't just devour the dreams of the summoner, he also likes to devour people with great power in the dream, and now he is in a weak period, he can only devour the soul of the summoner and ordinary people, compared to ordinary people, the summoner's soul power can quickly make him stronger." ”
After Ye Feng heard this, he was shocked, this Demon Teng's ability was far more terrifying than he thought, he looked at Jinx and asked, "Then do you know how strong his peak state is?" And how did you know all this? ”
Jinx replied, "Demigod, and he will continue to get stronger, anyway, I came here to make you and Sister Sana be careful, brother, don't tell anyone that I told you this, okay?" In the end, Jinx looked at Ye Feng with tears in her eyes, and her body rubbed Ye Feng intentionally or unintentionally.
Ye Feng swallowed his saliva secretly, silently thinking in his heart that I am not Lolita, I only treat her as a sister, and then said: "Don't worry, you don't have any ability to protect yourself, my brother won't say what you said." ”
After hearing this, Jinx spun around in front of Ye Feng, and then smiled happily, and the laughter was as crisp and moving as the chirping of a yellow bird.
Wait a minute! It looks like a dark shadow flashed past me just now, isn't it? Oh no, he's not going to look for Wuxin, he's definitely going to find Varus! Ye Feng looked at Jinx apologetically and said, "My friend is targeted by nightmares, I have to save him, you are here, don't run around." ”
Jinx said dissatisfied: "I'm going too, I'll stand far away, don't hinder you, besides, after so many days, Mo Teng must have recovered a lot of strength, you can't beat him." ”
……
A woman sits by the lake in the residential area, with a blue palace dress as thin as water, a waist as thin as a willow branch, and a lower body hidden in the palace dress, with a fair face and red lips, which seems to reveal a pool of autumn water eyes in the bright beauty, which is pitiful. The silky blue hair was coiled up by the hairpin, tied into two small braids, and fell behind him.
If Ye Feng was here, he would definitely recognize that this woman with a dusty temperament was Suanna. There was a guqin in front of Suanna, and she looked at the guqin with soft eyes, plucking it gently, as if she was trying to hear it. Just by looking at her regular plucking, you can see that she is a master of playing the piano.
The piano is Suanna, and Suanna is the piano. Sana whispered inwardly.
The moonlight seems to have fallen in love with Suanna's beautiful face, and is willing to be a foil and sprinkled on Suanna and the guqin, making Suanna, who is already dusty, even more hazy.
Tonight, no nightmares. Sana stopped plucking the strings and looked worriedly at the night sky, then closed her eyes and soaked.
It didn't take long for Sana to open her eyes, her slender hands reaching for the guqin, and a moving piece of playing was about to begin.
……
"Is this it?" Jinx asked quietly.
"Yes, my friend lives here, I'm going to knock on the door now!" As soon as Ye Feng stood up, he was pulled by Jinx.
Jinx said, "Since your friend is being targeted by Moteng, then your knocking on the door will only alarm Moteng who is in the house, and we will go in quietly." ”
After hearing this, Ye Feng also felt that it made sense, but how could he get in without a key? Ye Feng said anxiously: "We don't have a key, and I can't pick the lock." ”
"Leave it to Jinx!" Jinx said triumphantly. She patted her chest, then walked to the door, and after a little fiddling, the door was quietly opened by her.
After doing all this, Jinx looked at Ye Feng expectantly, as if she wanted Ye Feng to praise her.
Ye Feng didn't understand what Jinx wanted to express, he asked, "Jinx, you won't steal anything, right?" ”
"Huh? How could it be! I learned this craft from an apprentice to a locksmith when I was poor, how can you say that about me, brother! ”
Although Jinx said so, her flushed face betrayed her. Fortunately, the night was too dark, and there were no lights around, so Ye Feng didn't see it.
After listening to Jinx's explanation, Ye Feng sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm just joking, let's go, let's go in and have a look!" ”
Jinx touched her flushed face, and then secretly glanced at Ye Feng before following Ye Feng towards the house.
"You're late, he's in an endless nightmare, it's wonderful, my masterpiece!" As soon as Ye Feng and Jinx stepped into the house, a dark shadow floated in front of them and said intoxicatedly.
"Varus just came out of the shadows, and you let him fall into a nightmare again, this is to force him to become a demon, aren't you afraid that he will attack you after becoming a demon?" Ye Feng pointed at Mo Teng and said angrily.
"Backlash? This is not the case with my nightmares, I am the master of dreams, he is now a lamb to be slaughtered by me, and you will have the honor of being my food! The shadow sneered as he spoke, and the space around him began to turbulent.
At the same time, Ye Feng felt that he was in a state of fear, and the fear was gradually increasing.
Ye Feng shook his head, forcing himself to stay awake. He looked at Jinx beside him, who was sitting helplessly on the ground.
It seems that Jinx, too, is in a state of fear. Ye Feng gritted his teeth, if I am like this, how can I be someone else's brother!
Seeing that Ye Feng's consciousness was about to be devoured, a loud voice shook him all over: "Ye Feng! ”
Ye Feng also woke up from his fear because of this. He turned his head to look out the door, and a man in blue stood outside, quietly watching all this, as if everything in front of him could not affect his state of mind.
"Do you think you can stop me?" Mo Teng looked at Wuxin outside the house and mocked.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Wuxin smiled indifferently, and didn't take Mo Teng's words to heart.
Mo Teng's eyes looked at Wuxin coldly: "Don't think that you can stop me if you have the strength of a demigod, when I recover my strength, don't say a demigod, even if you become a god, you can't stop me!" ”
Wuxin closed his eyes, then raised the blue jade in his right hand, and a sword aura spread out in all directions. When he opened his eyes again, his figure disappeared in front of Ye Feng's eyes.
Ye Feng looked at Mo Teng, but found that Mo Teng had disappeared at some point. Ye Feng looked around suspiciously, and was about to stand up, but he heard an unintentional voice coming from a distance: "The girl next to you has fallen into the fear technique of that black shadow, not sleeping in a nightmare, you are so good to take care of her, she will naturally wake up after a while." ”
After listening to Wuxin's words, Ye Feng decided to take care of Jinx here first, after all, his ability could not affect the battle situation between Wuxin and Moteng.
Looking at Jinx who was sitting on the ground with a helpless face, Ye Feng involuntarily sat down and let Jinx lie in his arms. What could have happened to a girl of such size that frightened her so much? Shouldn't her life be full of laughter and joy? Ye Feng looked at Jinx in his arms, and he fell into deep thought.
"Don't leave Jinx, don't leave Jinx alone!" Jinx lay in Ye Feng's arms, muttering some nonsense, her voice full of fear and sadness.
"Why do the people around you hate Jinx so much?"
"Everyone has older brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters, as well as a father and mother, why is Jinx alone?"
"Why hit Jinx? Jinx is just so hungry and wants something to eat, woohoo! ”
"That girl's clothes look so good, and Jinx really wants to have clean and beautiful clothes!"
"Uncle, didn't you say buy something delicious for Jinx? Why did you lock me up in a small dark room, Jinx was so scared, woo woo! ”
"Why did you all end up leaving Jinx? Jinx really wants someone who can always notice me and care about me......"
Ye Feng pricked up his ears and listened carefully to every word Jinx said in fear, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Jinx's background was pitiful. Jinx has had no relatives since she can remember, living a life of exile and being bullied. Ye Feng feels that he is much happier than Jinx, although he has no father and no mother, he has a sister who loves him since he was a child to protect himself, and Fiona plays with him, so it can be said that his childhood is full of joy.
Ye Feng took a deep look at Jinx and said slowly: "Don't worry, since you recognize me as your brother, I will naturally protect you and make you a happy sister!" ”
Under the hazy moonlight, Heartlessness and Nightmare appeared in an open field in the academy.
I don't know when the blue jade in Wuxin's hand was already stained with blood, and the undried blood on it slid down the sword body to the ground, making a ticking sound.
"If you honestly go back and wake up Varus, I'll consider sparing your life." Wuxin calmly looked at Moteng.
When Mo Teng heard this, he burst out laughing, as if he had heard a joke, and he said presumptuously, "You think you can kill me now? Let me tell you, now I don't need to use my real body at all, I can cover this academy with the power of my dreams, which means that I am just a doppelganger in front of you now, you just wait, when tonight is over, I will crush you by absorbing a lot of soul power! As soon as the words fell, Mo Teng's figure turned into light and shadow and disappeared in front of Wuxin.
Wuxin frowned, thinking about what to do next. If it's really like what Black Shadow says, then he really isn't Black Shadow's opponent. Forget it, let's go back and have a look.
……
"Brother, really? Are you sincere? Jinx was in Ye Feng's arms, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Ye Feng seriously.
"Huh? When did you wake up? Ye Feng was startled when he heard Jinx suddenly speak.
"Just now, just now...... You...... When you said you wanted to protect me, brother, were you sincere? What I said when I was drowsy...... You won't lie to me, will you? "Jinx may have just woken up, a little weak, and her voice was choppy.
Ye Feng first sighed, then scratched his head, and said: "Sure, I mean what I say, when I become stronger, I will definitely protect you!" ”
Jinx listened to Ye Feng's words, but was unhappy. She pouted and said, "You mean that if you are not strong now, you will not protect me?" ”
"How so? I'm going to protect you from now on, whoever bullies you, even if I can't beat him, I'll fight with him, you're my sister! Ye Feng hurriedly explained.
After listening to Ye Feng's explanation, Jinx's face softened a little. She said weakly, "Brother, you help me up...... I...... Hey? Piano sound? Sister Suanna? ”
"Koto-sound? Where does the sound come from? Ye Feng asked suspiciously.
Jinx sighed and said, "Light, this voice is very soft, and the impetuous heart will not notice." ”
Ye Feng closed his mouth in disbelief, he listened carefully to the movements around him, there was indeed a sound of the piano coming from a distance, if he didn't listen carefully, he really couldn't hear it. The sound of this piano is so comfortable, after listening to it, there is a feeling of spring breeze, and the soul is purified. Ye Feng was immersed in the sound of the piano, and carefully used his perception to experience everything that this sound brings.
"Do you hear the piano too?" The heartless voice came into the ears of Ye Feng and Jinx. Ye Feng looked at Wuxin in surprise: "So fast? What about the Moteng? ”
"You're talking about the dark shadow, right? He ran away, but the sound was a little strange, and I felt a little healing in it. Wuxin shrugged his shoulders and said.
"The power of healing? After listening to it, I felt like I was bathed in the spring breeze, and it was very comfortable. After hearing this, Ye Feng replied in surprise.
"Sister Suanna's qin sound does have healing ability, she entered the academy because she can turn the qin sound into a means of attack, and she has not shown her healing ability, but she has told me that my sister's ability is not only these, she will also transform the qin sound into a lot of abilities, hum!" Jinx said triumphantly, as if speaking of her own merits.
"You're saying that your sister played that sound?" Wuxin asked.
Jinx nodded and replied, "Yes, Sister Sana is amazing!" ”
Wuxin pondered for a while, and said, "In that case, Varus should wake up immediately, let's go into the bedroom and have a look." After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the bedroom.
……
Under the dark night, the sky above the academy was shrouded in an invisible spiritual web. This hand naturally attracted the attention of many masters in the academy, but they only paid a little attention to it, and then immersed themselves in their own affairs. Because they have no way to remove this unknown method, they can only ensure that they do not fall into a nightmare.
"Alas, I have been studying magic for so long, but I can't remove the methods of the mastermind behind the scenes, and I have focused too much energy on destructive magic, rather than healing and redemption magic." Next to a courtyard, Ruiz looked up at the stars and muttered to himself.
Worriedly, Reze sensed the invisible spiritual web, and inadvertently noticed that one place had broken. "This is? How did it break? Ruiz was very surprised by this, he had sensed it many times in the past few days, and the web was getting bigger and bigger, until it covered the entire academy, and this was the first time he had felt a break.
At that moment, a soft sound reached Ryze's ears, and he immediately looked like he had a sudden realization. Brushing his beard with his right hand, Ruiz said to himself: "I didn't expect this girl's piano sound to have such a miraculous effect, what a talented girl, old and old, this will be their young age after all." ”
At the same time, the sound of the piano spread throughout the academy, and everywhere it passed, everyone who was haunted by nightmares changed from a painful expression to a peaceful and sleeping expression, and the nightmare was directly dispelled in the dream.
……
In a dark space, two dark blue flames suddenly ignited and danced in it. A strange and angry voice echoed in the space: "Who is it that dares to break my nightmare?" I can't go out for the time being, and those demigods outside are probably staring at me, and if I act rashly, I may be strangled directly, but let me see who it is who can crack my ability! With that, the blue flames pierced through the dark space and appeared directly in the academy, tracing the source of the piano sound.
In a few moments, two flames came into a forest, and they revealed everything they saw in the dark space.
In the dark space, through the projection of the flames, Mo Teng vaguely saw a green silk Suona sitting on the shore of the lake deep in the forest, playing the guqin with both hands.
"Let me take a closer look!" In the dark space, Mo Teng eagerly manipulated the flames in the forest with his mind, wanting to go deeper.
As the blue flames deepened, the projection of Suanna's figure in the dark space gradually became clear. But just when he was about to see his face clearly, the projection directly shattered, and nothing could be seen.
"Do you think I won't be able to find you then? Palace...... Hair...... Guqin ...... Woman, hmph, let you live for a day first, and when I regain some strength tomorrow night, I will come and kill you personally! Moteng's cold, angry voice flickered through the space, and then fell silent again. It's as if nothing had happened, and it's eerily quiet.
……
