Volume 3 The Strange Tales of the Women's Court Chapter 35 The Sound of the Midnight Piano (Part 2)
I took a few steps and followed them.
One room, and another, and as far as it was over, Room 13 was in the corner of the wall.
On this part of the road, both they and I are on guard, walking on thin ice.
However, apart from the wind and grass, nothing unusual has appeared.
Room 13 arrived.
Five flashlights gathered in unison on the wooden door of the piano room.
Compared to the previous rooms, the door of this room is relatively intact, and the brown door is closed.
The five of them looked at each other, as if they were emboldened, and then Gao Yanlan walked up and stretched out her hand to push the door.
The door opened as soon as it was pushed, startling Gao Yanlan. In the creaking sound, you can see by the light of the flashlight, and inside, like the rest of the piano room, there is a half-old organ against the wall, a chair rests diagonally on the organ's pedal, and a slightly dark light bulb hangs in the air, shaking slightly.
There was no one, the lid was closed, and there was no legendary sound.
Min Yu and Hu Xia cautiously took photos of this small piano room from top to bottom several times.
"No one. Nor ...... Other! Gao Yanlan said with relief.
"That's ...... That's because it's not midnight yet! Zhang Qi muttered.
Hu Xia couldn't help but tremble. Whisper, "Don't say it again!" Do you really want to be in this kind of ...... Where to stay until midnight? ”
"Of course not. We'll go back to the dormitory in a moment. Right? Min Yu looked at Ge Hong and Gao Yanlan with an inquiring gaze.
"Ugh. It's past half past 1o. It's not a long time until 12 o'clock! Zhang Qi said reluctantly. Since it's here. Why not just wait until midnight? ”
Gao Yanlan was silent. Ge Hong said, "It's okay." We'll go play the piano in a minute. After 12 o'clock, I went back to the dormitory. ”
"Playing the piano? It's ...... Over here? Hu Xia's expression was like swallowing a big worm.
"What's wrong? Didn't we just say we were here to play? Otherwise, what are you doing with so many things? Ge Hong said disapprehantly.
"Ahem! It's better not to scatter people. Take turns to play and ...... as soon as you pass 12 o'clock Get back! Min Yu made a new suggestion.
"Together?" Zhang Qi looked at the piano room, "How can such a small place squeeze the five of us?" Besides, there's only one chair, and everyone else is standing? ”
"Let's not waste time, let's choose a piano room and play it!" Ge Hong pointed with his hand, "I'll go to the No. 11 piano room." ”
"Min Yu and I won't say anything apart!" Hu Xia grabbed Min Yu's hand, "Let's go to the No. 1O piano room together." ”
"That'...... I Yanlan said simply.
"I'll have to go to the 8th." Zhang Qi said.
I didn't wait for them to finish, and I turned into a doorless piano room next to me.
Wait a moment. The not-so-smooth sound came from several rooms.
Perhaps because of the tense relationship, their piano sounds give people the feeling of stumbling, very jerky, not to mention any emotional processing and changes in strength and weakness.
I listened quietly for a long time before slowly walking out.
The doors of the four piano rooms were not closed, and the light of the flashlight leaked through the cracks in the doors. Ge Hong's piano sound returned to normal first, followed by Zhang Qi and Gao Yanlan, but Min Yu and Hu Xia's piano sound was always flustered. (I can tell so clearly.) It's because the pieces they choose when they observe the piano are different.)
I leaned lightly against the wall and looked up at the night sky.
The moon is round tonight, with thin clouds and stars shining from time to time. Although the grass on the path is very long, there are not many insects. There is no strange smell of leftovers in the air, but a faint fragrance of grass leaves.
If you ignore desolation and decay. It's a quiet place.
I don't know how long later, I was in a trance, and suddenly I heard a loud shout: "Who's outside?" Then there was another loud bang.
I shuddered, this is ...... Ge Hong's voice!
I turned my head quickly, and a white shadow flashed and disappeared into room 13.
Without thinking, I ran to room 13 at the end of the path.
At the same time, the rest of the people rushed out of the three piano rooms almost in unison.
"Who?" "Who is it?"
"Wow! Shen Chunjun, why are you?! ”
"It's not me!" I pointed to the wall, "There's a white shadow flashing into room 13!" ”
"Oh God! Could it be the ...... What ...... that" Hu Xia was startled. I can't even speak clearly.
"Let's go and see!" Gao Yanlan raised the thick branch in her hand.
"Wait a minute. Ge Hong, Ge Hong. How are you? I asked as I walked over to room 11.
“…… I...... It's okay! I tripped over a chair and fell! Ge Hong rubbed her legs and limped out of the piano room.
We came to the door of Piano Room 13 together. The door of the piano room was open, and under the flashlight, there was a glimpse inside, but it was empty!
"Cap...... How did the lid open! Hu Xia suddenly pointed to the organ and said in horror.
"Was it closed just now?" My heart tightened.
"Of course! Me, me and Min Yu...... I've taken it several times! Hu Xia's face turned pale and shrank behind Min Yudi.
I looked down at my wrist, and the beads were quietly pressed against me, and there was no unusual reaction.
"Ge Hong, what did you see just now?" I asked.
"I had just stopped to rest when I accidentally turned my head and caught a glimpse of a hand outside the window." Ge Hong had already calmed down, "There is a lot of dust on the window, so I can't see what it looks like." ”
"I know everybody is practicing, and they don't come here for no reason. And the door is open, if it were you, you would just push the door instead of the window. So I screamed, but when I stood up, I tripped and fell. She added.
"Shen Jun, why are you here?" She asked me again.
"I'm not at ease, come and have a look." I sighed, "I've been outside room No. 5, and when I heard your scream, I turned my head to look at the ground. I saw a white shadow flash into room 13. ”
"That'...... So how can you not see people? Gao Yanlan frowned. He glanced at the piano room, which had only one door, and then at the high wall next to it.
"Will it ...... It's really ......" Zhang Qi gasped.
"What now?" Min Yu and Hu Xia asked nervously.
"Let's make sure there's no one else here except the six of us!" I motioned for everyone to turn on all the flashlights and "look at them one by one." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and started to check in room 12.
I wanted to be with them, but I took a step and stopped.
For some reason, I always thought Room 13 was weird, so I stayed there and waited for the results of their inspection.
They walked into the house in pairs. The inspection was very careful, and the flashlight swept through each room one by one.
They waited until they were all done before they walked back together.
"No one!" Gao Yanlan shook her head at me.
"Nothing?" I asked.
"Nope." Hu Xia and Min Yu also shook their heads.
"Hmm...... I feel like the No. 12 and No. 13 rooms...... Weird. Ge Hong said with some confusion, "It seems to ...... The feeling of space is different from other piano rooms! ”
"The feeling of space? What do you mean? Zhang Qi asked strangely.
"You feel that way, too?" I looked thoughtfully at the dark room 13.
"It feels like the space is not very regular on the 12th, and the 13th is too!" Ge Hong thought about it again and said.
"How is that possible? All the piano rooms are exactly the same square! Gao Yanlan retorted.
"Give me the flashlight." Ge Hongdi's words strengthened my suspicions.
Inch by inch, I looked at what should have been a small square room, with the organ, the lid upright, the chair leaning against the instrument, the light bulb, and the empty walls......
My flashlight stopped on the wall on the right.
The wall was shared with Number 12, and the weird feeling came back to you.
I took a step back and said coldly, "Who is hiding behind the door?" Now it's time to come out! ”
There was no movement.
"The door and the wall are almost attached, how can anyone hide behind the door? Unless it's flat! Zhang Qi said with a smile.
"There's something wrong with that wall. Someone has tampered with it. Ge Hong understood.
"Yes, when we opened the door, it covered the wall, and it was so dark that there were no lights, and the atmosphere was so scary, so we wouldn't notice that there was someone hiding behind the door." I shone a flashlight on the half-open door on the 13th.
"Wait for us to enter the other piano rooms. The hiding man slipped out quietly and scared me at the window. Ge Hong explained.
The others were skeptical, and together they focused their eyes on the door of number 13.
"Really not coming out? Want me to come in and poke with a stick? "I gestured and took Gao Yanlan's thick branches.
"Ahem...... Don't poke! Isn't this coming out! "There was a white figure who came out of the door silently.
Although we were prepared, we were really taken aback!
But seeing this gentleman, he was dressed in white (please refer to the costume drama for the style) with his head scattered, his lips painted blood red, his eyebrows painted in an upside-down shape, and red lines drawn around his eyes. It looked like the eye sockets were cracked. Under the nose is a long, soft, red tongue. Inside the rolled up sleeves, a pair of hands that seemed to be covered with white powder. All ten fingers were covered with flesh-colored, pointy fake nails, and I don't know what was painted on them. It was actually shining with a cold light.
"You...... You ...... "Why do I suddenly feel that this gentleman's eyes and voice are a little familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere?"
"Hey, hey! Just kidding you, don't be angry! She grinned, revealing her red-stained teeth.
"Say it! Who are you? Why are you pretending to be a ghost to scare us? We have a grudge against you, huh? Zhang Qi approached her with round eyes crossed his waist, and had the intention of kicking her hard.
"What kind of joke is not good, pretending to be a ghost is scary! What to do if you are scared to death? Min Yu and Hu Xia also angrily condemned her.
"Wait! You are...... You're that smokescreen on heaven and earth! I finally remembered, "2 Bandi Mei Feng, oh no, Mei Xiaolin!" ”
