Chapter 10 (9) The Death Player

Qiao Xiu's proposal worked, and in the end, the Skeleton Duke gladly accepted Qiao Xiu's request, turning Qiao Xiu and his party from rudeness who rashly broke into his territory to distinguished guests who traveled thousands of miles to listen to his concert.

It is in terms of being human, that the live experience of this concert... It's a little creepy.

The castle has a special recital room with instruments ranging from piano to violin, which can be used for a grand classical concert.

The musicians who play these instruments are partly skeletons, and partly carrion corpses with a few pieces of minced flesh hanging from their bodies.

They were dressed somewhat like the English gentlemen of the Victorian period in the 19th century, and this dress made them look personable when they picked up their instruments.

The only downside is that there is a little less flesh on their bodies, and the appearance of these white skeletons alone cannot be described as elegant gentlemen, let alone those carrion corpses whose eyes have fallen to the ground.

Skeleton is not the conductor of this particular band, he is the pianist in this performance!

Slender and white fingers struck the piano, and a series of strange melodies flowed from the piano, officially starting this classical concert by the undead.

"What's going on......"

Ciri didn't know what classical music to appreciate, she just felt a cold that went deep into her bone marrow when the notes entered her ears, making her shiver a little, and Ciri had to hug her arm.

You must know that standing in the snow-covered forest just now, Ciri didn't feel the slightest cold in this dress, but these strange notes actually made her feel like she was being thrown under the ice.

To make matters worse, in the dimly lit lake beneath the ice, an unknown water monster is staring at her!

The feeling sent a shiver down the spine of Ciri.

"It's useless to hold your arms, you try to fantasize about the sun or fire." Joshua said to Ciri.

"I can't imagine listening to this performance!"

Ciri's complaint also speaks to what Johew really thinks in his heart.

From the very beginning, Qiao Xiu found that this performance was fundamentally different from what he had heard before.

This performance of the Skeleton Gong is not an ordinary concert, the notes flowing from the piano of the Skeleton Male, Qiao Xiu not only felt it with the sense of 'hearing', but also the senses of touch, sight, taste and other senses to understand the meaning of this note......

The cold, the silence, like the loneliness of swimming in a frozen lake, makes people so cold that they want to suffocate.

Qiao Xiu's skin seemed to be frozen with frost, and his mouth was filled with the icy water of the lake.

Magic that can affect the spirit of others?

When the song ended, Qiao Xiu finally shook himself from a cold and biting feeling, and Qiao Xiu found that hoarfrost had condensed on his hands, and his body temperature was frighteningly low.

It's not as simple as influencing the spirit! Qiao Xiu wiped the hoarfrost off his arm with his hand, and the breath of cold air he had just breathed turned into white mist.

If the skeleton continues to play, the listener's body temperature may drop directly to the level of hypothermia, and even his life may be taken!

Death Carolers? This word came to Qiao Xiu's mind inexplicably.

As a Chaos Demon, Qiao Xiu's physique can still support it, but Ciri's condition is a little worse.

Her lips began to white, and frost appeared on her long eyelashes, as if she had been walking for hours in a harsh environment of more than ten degrees below zero.

Qiao Xiu immediately took off his coat and draped it on Ciri's body.

"You... You clothes... It's wet! ”

Ciri's trembling tone was about to cry, but if her tears dripped, they might freeze into icicles.

Qiao Xiu took Ciri's hand and found it as cold as a block of ice.

And so on... Ciri will die of an imbalance in body temperature!

It seems that if you want to enjoy the performance of the skeleton duke, it is not as simple as buying a ticket, if you are not strong enough, you have to pay the price of your life in exchange for tickets.

"Don't even have the ability to listen to a song? The human body is so weak that it is fragile. ”

Noticing Ciri's weak state, the Skeleton stopped playing the piano in his hand, and the frost that had congealed on his bony fingertips fell off.

When the music stopped, Qiao Xiu's symptoms of hypothermia eased a little.

Qiao Xiu applauded with his frozen hands at this time, not because of how good the performance was, but simply as the most basic politeness of an audience.

Hearing Qiao Xiu's applause, the face of the skeleton man looked a little better... It shouldn't be said that the face is faced, it should be said that the soul fire that shook in his eye sockets has stabilized a little.

"The Duke's performance is really extraordinary, and after listening to it, I feel like I'm there..."

Not only is it immersive, if you continue to play, Qiao Xiu will be frozen to death.

I don't know how many virtual senses on Earth game designers want to achieve, but Joshua actually experienced it in this performance.

"But Lord Duke, your performance is not only human, perhaps most of the humans in the Demon Realm will not be able to appreciate the end."

Qiao Xiu could swear that if the Skeleton Gong went to the capital to play the same tune, more than fifty percent of the capital's residents would be frozen into ice.

"It's that they don't have the ability."

Skeleton is a proud classical musician... He didn't think there was anything wrong with his playing, it was just that the stupid and weak idiots were not capable of appreciating it.

"It's true that they don't have the ability to appreciate your performance, Lord Duke, but... Don't you feel a little shivering with cold, Lord Duke? ”

Qiao Xiu first admitted that the performance of the Skeleton Gong was quite good.

The song itself has a quiet, cold and lonely feeling, and if you use this song in the music of a horror game, it is definitely a piece of music that can add points to the overall atmosphere of the game.

Qiao Xiu has always believed that there is no difference between good and bad music, except for some noise, no matter what kind of music there is a group of appreciators, just as some people like classical music and stay away from electronic music, and some people like pop music but are not very interested in traditional folk songs.

No one can distinguish between good and bad music in different genres, and if anyone does, it is arrogant!

Whether it sounds good or not is a matter of personal senses.

If it weren't for the fact that the performance of the Skeleton Gong was too 'real', so real that Qiao Xiu wanted to listen to it with a stove, Qiao Xiu would definitely appreciate it to the end.

It wasn't just Ciri and Johew who were affected, but even the performers themselves.

It was like the bones were already covered with frost on his fingers, so he had to move his five fingers to remove the frost.

"It's a must-have effect for the show."

The Skeleton Gong did not deny Qiao Xiu's statement.
