In the middle of the night, when the outside world was still in darkness and silence, Qi Luoling was once again woken up by the sound of the piano. She opened her eyes in a daze www.biquge.info and returned to the real world from her unconscious sleep.

Qi Luoling's head was groggy, like a lump of mud. She was very sleepy and her eyelids were heavy. She tried to sober herself, but it was still a little difficult.

Qi Luoling helplessly closed her eyes slightly, groped her way forward in the darkness with her hands, and with a faint consciousness, got out of bed, walked out of the door, went downstairs, and came to the piano room on the second floor.

Pushing open the door, the clear piano music was like a cool medicine, making her drowsy consciousness gradually wake up. In the corner of the piano room, a familiar figure was sitting in front of the Steinway grand piano, playing beautiful music leisurely. What kind of music does he play?

Qi Luoling carefully recognized that it was Chopin's parting song, no longer the sad music of the devil, which was unusual. A trace of uneasiness crossed the bottom of Qi Luoling's heart, what does the parting song portend? Is it that he is going to die?

His figure and the posture of playing the piano in the dark were no longer familiar. It appeared several times in Qi Luoling's dreams, and it became an indispensable part of her life. He was the Polish man, his maternal great-grandfather.

When Qi Luoling approached the piano, the shadow stopped playing, and the music stopped abruptly, but he still kept his fingers lightly on the piano keys and did not leave.

"Don't ask me, is he really dead?" The dark shadow said.

"Aren't you him?" Qi Luoling asked.

"As you know before, he has long since been killed. You see me, you see me like him, but I'm not him. It's just that after I lost my soul for love, what you see is nothing more than what your subconscious wants to see. ”

"If he is dead, why is there no skeleton in his tomb, only a preserved severed hand?" Qi Luoling plucked up her courage and asked again.

"The soul is dead, but the sign of the demonic music lives on. Dead souls wander in the dark, and what is immortal is demonic music. In other words, if he is free from the arm imprinted by demonic music, he is considered dead. ”

Qi Luoling thought for a moment and said, "No, he's not dead. I have a strange feeling, I can feel his breath from you, including the tone of his voice and the way he plays music. I have an indescribable kinship with you. “

"That's your delusion, I'm not him." The dark shadow said in an understated tone.

"I don't believe it. One more thing, the witch kept saying that if I couldn't find the whole movement, I would die on the full moon of the next year. But I feel that you are secretly manipulating everything and pushing me in the opposite direction of death. These behaviors are all abnormal. How do you explain that? ”

The black shadow was silent for a long time, not speaking.

Qi Luoling looked at him and said, "If you are not him, then who are you?" Who the hell is the demon? ”

"Who am I? Is it a demon who has lost his soul? Or are you dead? Or is he alive? The shadow smiled wryly, muttering to himself, shaking his head.

The darkness in the room, like ink in the water, deepens the color of the night little by little.

"It doesn't matter who I am now. Because we won't see each other again after tonight. So this is the last time we'll see each other. “

Qi Luoling was stunned, and after a long time, asked, "Why?" ”

"The real world and the imaginary world are two completely different worlds, and no one can be separated from these two worlds forever. Let's take this parting song as the last memory between us. The Shadow said.

"Do you mean that we won't see each other again? The second movement of the demon is gone, and the third movement is still unknown, so is it all over? ”

"The end consciousness of a new beginning, the soul disappears, but the demon music does not. Searching may be just a formality, but responsibility and mission are the ends. The scores and melodies of the first and second movements are already deeply seared into your soul. Material things don't last forever, but music is eternal. I hope you'll understand that. The clues to the third movement of demonic music are hidden in those pages. ”

Qi Luoling seemed to realize and nodded.

At this moment, the dark shadow played the parting song again, as if to suggest that the final moment of separation was within reach. Even in the illusory scene, Qi Luoling still felt the sadness in the melody of the music, falling in the silent reality, like a drop of water falling on the lake to stir up ripples, although it is not easy to detect in the vast world, but there are traces to be found.

Qi Luoling's heart welled up with indescribable loss, this illusory soul existed countless times in her dreams, she was used to his presence, she was used to the absurd existence. Now that he had truly disappeared from her life, she felt a kind of loneliness and sadness. She listened to the parting music, playing it again and again.

"Before I disappear from this world completely, there is one more thing I want to remind you." The dark shadow said.

"What's the matter?"

"When you've got all the movements, I want you to give up saving your lover."

"Why? Everything I did was to save him, and I have been able to hold on until now because of him. I will never give up. ”

"No why, it's not my request, it's your only option in the future. That is, the choice of fate. ”

"I still don't understand, can I make it clear?"

"You'll understand. I ask you to take care of your own body, and this is also a request from you in the future. ”
