Chapter 12, Puppets

The noise that lasted for several seconds in his ears, the mirror that flashed in front of him, and when Tang Yao reacted, he was already standing at the gate of the middle school teaching building, not in front of the small building of the old storage yard.

He was almost certain that he had been hit by the illusion, but the two ambulances who had entered the small building first should have triggered the mechanism to stop the illusion in the small building, why did he still get hit?

After thinking about it carefully, Tang Yao immediately reacted, he really thought about the interview of the Hall of Dead Bones simply, thinking that he had taken advantage of the loophole, but he was actually tricked by others, and the two ambulance personnel obviously knew that he was following behind, so they pretended to trigger the so-called mechanism, but in fact, they did not stop the illusion in the small building at all, and he and Fang Chao broke in recklessly, and it was strange that they were not hit.

Thinking about this, he immediately looked up left and right but there was no trace of Fang Chao, and at this moment he was the only one standing in front of the teaching building.

But why the scene in the illusion was the middle school he attended, Tang Yao couldn't figure it out.

Just as he was thinking about what to do next, the sound of the piano came from the teaching building, which seemed to be far away from Tang Yao, and the sound seemed to come from one of the classrooms.

Tang Yao didn't dare to take risks, with the experience of Beijun Temple, he couldn't imagine what kind of danger he would encounter in the world of illusion, but if he stayed here all the time, he might be trapped in the world of illusion until the end of the interview.

Just when he was in a dilemma, a light suddenly lit up in a classroom on the third floor in front of him, very suddenly, because Tang Yao had clearly seen that all the classrooms were pitch black.

His eyes looked at the only lighted classroom, and a figure appeared in the light.

"Phantom or real?" Tang Yao couldn't judge in his heart, he was really a layman for illusion.

The sound of the piano continued, and after thinking about it, instead of waiting here until the interview was over, it was better to go over and find out, anyway, the Hall of Dead Bones arranged ambulance personnel, it was a big deal to be a little frightened, and the big thing definitely couldn't happen, and he was still counting on getting the first herb in Ao Tianchong's hand through the interview, so he had to find a way to break the illusion in front of him.

With his mind already decided, Tang Yao stepped into the teaching building.

In the dead silence of the school building at night, Tang Yao could clearly hear his footsteps, he was no stranger to this school that had been in high school for three years, but now he was still nervous and sweaty palms, for fear that some monster would suddenly appear in front of him when he turned a corner.

In the past, Tang Yao worked in a haunted house, that is, he squatted in the corner to pretend to be a ghost and scary, every time he saw a person who was scared by him, he would show a little ridicule in his heart, but now when he groped his way forward in the dark teaching building by himself, he realized what kind of mentality the players in those haunted houses were, not to mention that the high school he attended was also a well-known evil sect.

Shinan No. 3 Senior High School, although the quality of teaching is average, is especially famous in the city, because it is said that in the past ten years, this high school has died a female student every year, and the school has been denying these terrible rumors, calling them rumors, but among the students and even the whole city, it is boiling.

Tang Yao had heard rumors about the suicide of a student of Shinan No. 3 High School when he was taking the high school entrance examination, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, until the eve of the college entrance examination that year, a female student in the third year of high school he had seen had an accident in the piano room, and the piano room was locked up from that day, and he really knew that the murderous name of this high school was not necessarily a rumor.

At this time, he had walked down the steps to the third floor, he let out a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing happened, but the sound of the piano that lingered in his ears never stopped, and after he reached the third floor, the sound of the piano seemed to be closer.

"The third floor, isn't it the floor where the school's piano room is located, is it difficult to make ......" Tang Yao thought of this, and a strong uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.

The sound of the piano suddenly became rapid, as if urging Tang Yao to get closer, and Tang Yao, who knew that he had been trapped in an illusion, seemed to be a little unable to control his body at this moment, there seemed to be a magic force in the sound of the piano, which was originally not felt when it was far away, but now after reaching the third floor, this special magic began to affect Tang Yao's body silently.

A special thought lingered in his head, as if there was an invisible rope pulling Tang Yao, and his feet began to step forward automatically.

"This damn illusion ......" Tang Yao scolded viciously, but even though he tried hard to control himself, he still walked forward more than ten meters unconsciously, and at the same time, the sound of the piano in his ears became clearer, and the power that controlled him became more and more powerful.

On the third floor, go to the left, the fifth room, there are no windows, the old wooden door is hung with three iron locks, and on the door is an old and rusty door sign that reads: Piano Practice Room.

Sure enough, it was the piano room, and the uneasiness in Tang Yao's heart finally turned into a nightmare, but fortunately, there was still a lock on the door of the piano room, but when he approached, the lock hanging on the door suddenly broke, and the lock fell down, and the door in front of him opened a gap after making a "creak" sound.

Tang Yao walked towards the door uncontrollably, pushed open the door of the piano room hidden in front of him on tiptoes, and what entered the eyes was darkness, the cold wind blew across Tang Yao's face, and the pitch-black piano room was as cold as an ice cave.

He tried to keep his eyes open but couldn't see anything in the room, and at the same time, the sound of the piano that had been lingering in his ears also stopped dumbly after he entered the room, the door of the piano room slowly closed behind him, Tang Yao couldn't turn his head but could clearly hear the sound of the door locking automatically.

His nervousness had gradually turned to fear, and it was almost impossible to guess that there must be something hidden in the darkness, and that the truly terrifying side of the illusion set up by the Hall of Bones was about to be revealed.

"Papapa...... There was a sound of a metronome nearby, and then a red light came into Tang Yao's eyes, the light looked like blood, Tang Yao instinctively wanted to retreat, but the sound of the piano sounded again, and his feet walked forward uncontrollably again.

The red glow became more and more dazzling, and reflected a piano near the wall, and at the same time, there seemed to be someone sitting next to the piano, looking like the back of a woman.

"Who's there?" Although Tang Yao couldn't control his feet, he at least had the ability to speak.

No one answered, but the sound of the piano suddenly became intense, and the rhythm as strong as a storm made Tang Yao feel very uncomfortable, and at the same time, the red blood light also shook violently, and the back of the long-haired woman appeared and disappeared under the red light.

The stormy sound of the piano stopped abruptly, the woman in front of him turned around slowly and mechanically, Tang Yao's breathing became more and more rapid, he didn't know what the woman looked like, but he could definitely scare half his life.

Under the red light, the woman finally turned her head completely, to Tang Yao's surprise, this was not a real woman, what appeared in his eyes was actually just a wooden puppet, wearing Tang Rao's high school uniform, with a dense wig on her head.

"How is it a puppet?" Tang Rao saw that this scene was strange, but his heart was more or less relaxed, after all, at first he thought that the illusion might be a terrible female ghost.

At this moment, the puppet moved like a real living person, the arms made of wood supported the body with twisted movements, and the screeching sound of its feet when it stepped out, this puppet with no facial features actually walked towards Tang Yao step by step.

The red light swayed, and the wordless and cold puppet was getting closer and closer, even if it was not a monster such as a female ghost in front of him, but when it approached, Tang Yao's whole body was still stiff, and he didn't know if it was because it was too cold in the piano room or the fear in his heart was being amplified, at this moment, Tang Yao only felt that his whole body was surrounded by cold, but at such a critical juncture, his feet still did not obey.

After a moment, the puppet walked crookedly in front of Tang Yao, it was a head shorter than Tang Yao, and when it stood in front of it, it tried to raise its head as if it was a living person, obviously there were no eyes on its face, but Tang Yao felt that he was being stared at by the other party.

And even more incredible things followed, the next second, the puppet suddenly hugged Tang Yao like a girl, the curved wooden arms firmly wrapped around Tang Yao's waist, and the wooden head leaned against Tang Yao's chest.

"What's going on, this puppet wants to fall in love with me?" Tang Yao was surprised in his heart, almost stunned by the scene in front of him.

But as soon as he thought so, a sharp pain suddenly came from his back, and he tried his best to turn his head, and finally caught a glimpse of the puppet actually stabbing his finger into Tang Yao's back.
