Feng bujue reached out with both hands and grabbed the female ghost’s armpit. With a pull, he pulled her down.
The moment she fell to the ground, the female ghost was clearly stunned. Before she could react, a foot stepped on her shoulder, and at the same time, a flashlight was quickly shone on her face.
The monster’s first reaction was to put on a ferocious face and scream.
However, Feng bujue did not buy it. His voice was louder than a ghost ‘s.”If shouting is useful, why do you need hands and feet?”
He was right. Even the monster realized that ‘scaring’ did not seem to work anymore. Therefore, she suddenly turned around, pushed brother Jue’s feet away, and crawled back on the ground, quickly escaping into the darkness.!!
Be it in terms of strength or agility, this ghost was much stronger than Noguchi, so Feng bujue could not stop her.
When brother Jue shone his flashlight into the pitch-black music room, the female ghost had already disappeared.
“This is really a monster …” Seeing this, Feng bujue could not help but say,”the ghosts in this scenario are all ‘physical monsters’ that can be touched with one’s hands, but …” He paused and his eyes moved.”They also possess the ability to enter alternate dimensions and quickly become ‘invisible’…”
“Are you thinking of something?” RUO Yu noticed something from the slight change in brother Jue’s expression, so she asked.
“I’m just thinking … Is there such a setting …” Feng bujue said.”The few of us … Are actually ghosts too.”
Everyone was stunned.
“Hmm …” An Yueqin was the first to speak up.”Now that you’ve mentioned it, it doesn’t seem impossible …”
“Indeed, the voice-over has implanted a preconceived concept in us, thus creating a blind spot in our thinking.” Ling added,”if leader’s speculation is correct, then it can explain why we can physically contact those ghosts.”
“Eh? This can’t be right!” At this moment, Phantom dawn, who had been scared flying, had finally recovered a little. Although he had almost been disconnected from the previous attack, he was still following everyone’s thoughts. He walked over and asked,”then why …” He swept the light of the flashlight over everyone and asked,”why are we all not affected by the light?”
“About that …” Feng bujue touched his chin and mumbled,”this is what I think …” He looked around his teammates and continued,”the six of us … Have just become ghosts and have not fully integrated into the world of the dead, so we are not afraid of light for now. As for the ghosts that we encountered, they have been dead for many years and have long become a part of The Dark World, so …”
“As expected of a novelist. Even without any evidence, you can still make it sound so real.” Hearing this, RUO Yu immediately gave a very pertinent comment.
“Hey! I already said that it was just speculation.” Feng bujue spread his hands.”The main reason I’m sharing this is to provide everyone with a new train of thought. If I die because of some kind of death FLAG, then my intelligence will still protect you …”
“I feel that … Your wisdom is always fooling me instead of protecting me.” When ghost hunter heard this, he also muttered emotionally.
This sentence basically summarized all the encounters he had had after meeting brother Jue in S2 of the tournament of the best …
“Hehe … You flatter me.” Feng bujue replied with a smile.
“Is he complimenting you? Can you hear the good words?” Ghost hunter was once again shocked by brother Jue’s shamelessness. That attitude of not being ashamed of being mocked but being proud of it left him speechless.
There’s a good saying that you can’t wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. In the same way, you can’t insult a truly shameless person.
“Alright, everyone. The ghost is gone anyway. Let’s start searching.” As Feng bujue said that, he stepped through the door and prepared to start the search that he was best at.
The others followed closely behind, turning on their flashlights and starting their own investigations.
The music room was not very big, and the four walls were covered with old and yellowed wallpaper. In the corner of the classroom, there was a piano and a matching piano stool. There was also a simple vertical musical stand next to it. In the middle of the classroom, there were some colorful square stools with numbers printed on them. Just by looking at the size and style, one could tell that they were for children. On the wall opposite the door, there was a larger cabinet. Even though it was also made of wood, with the difficulty of this kind of puzzle-solving scenario … Even if it was made of paper, as long as one did not meet the conditions to open it, there was no way to open it.
The players started their search in such an environment. Due to the limited space, they managed to find everything they could in five minutes. The results were as follows:
First, there was nothing hidden inside the piano, and it could be played normally.
Second, there was nothing unusual about the zither stool.
Third, there was a yellowed, broken score on the stand, but there were still a few sections that could be completely recognized.
Four, there were exactly nine square stools, written with the Arabic numbers 1 ” 9; After inspection, the square stools were all solid and fixed to the ground.
Five, there were no obvious abnormalities, patterns, or clues from the wallpaper (Feng bujue was responsible for the wallpaper).
6. When he touched the door of the cabinet, he got a prompt that said,”it is sealed by some dark force.”
After confirming the above six options, the players gathered together for a brief exchange and reduced the number of flashlights on to two.
“Okay …” At that moment, Feng bujue said,”we’ve checked everything that we need to. Next … I guess we can only use ‘this’.” As he said that, he pulled out the Suzuki futiché from his pocket.”The item states that only male players can play it, so …” He turned to look at Xiao Tan and ghost hunter.”Who’s going to play it?”
“Uh … I don’t know how to play a string instrument.” Xiao Tan was quite professional.
It must be mentioned here … Before third grade, Xiao Tan did learn music.
Of course, a rich kid like him wouldn’t learn those things just for the sake of getting bonus points.
Xiao Tan only learned music because his parents thought he was talented.
So where was this so-called “talent” reflected? This was what happened. When Tong Tong and Xiao Tan were in kindergarten, there was a period of time when they liked to knock on things randomly. Therefore, his parents used that as evidence and sent him, a child who was not even seven years old, to learn rock music.
After two and a half years, Xiao Tan did not say anything, but the teacher could not hold on any longer. The teacher said that Yingluo was tone-deaf and had a bad sense of rhythm. It would be good if she could find the right tune when singing karaoke in the future, so they should find someone else.
Just like that … Wang Tanzhi’s twenty-nine months as a child drummer ended. And the result of his learning was … He learned a few basic drum beats, trained his left hand to be as flexible as his right hand, and … Cured his habit of hitting things randomly.
“I know how to play the harmonica …” After Xiao Tan, this was the answer that ghost hunter gave.
“Is that so? I’ll do it then.” Feng bujue saw that neither of them knew how to play, so he gave a random answer and raised the flute to his mouth.
“So you do! Then why are you still asking?” The demon ghost ridiculed.
“Eh?” Seeing this, an Yueqin also raised her brows and asked curiously,”so you know how to play a musical instrument?”
“That can’t be …” RUO Yu looked suspicious. She turned to an Yueqin and said,”I’ve lived at his place for so long, but I’ve never seen any entertainment in his house …”
Wuwuwu
Before they could finish, brother Jue had already started to brag.
Wu … Wu … Wu … Wu … Wu …
He was playing out of tune, sometimes out of breath, sometimes making a very sharp sound. His fingers were just randomly pressing on the holes of the flute with inexplicable finger techniques, making a fool of himself.
“Hey! So you don’t know how to do it!” Ghost hunter was shocked.”Not only that, but even a layman would brag about it very badly! Where did you get your confidence from?”
“Cut the crap. No one knows how to do it anyway. Isn’t it the same no matter who comes?” Feng bujue immediately retorted, and after that, he continued to boast as if no one was around.
Even though ghost hunter wanted to say something more, he had to admit … Brother Jue’s words did make sense. Right now, none of the three boys really knew how to boast. It really didn’t matter who went up.
Therefore, everyone endured brother Jue’s mind-corrupting blow for another minute.
For some unknown reason, a minute later, suddenly …
There was a sudden “shua shua shua” sound, and then the music classroom’s sliding door automatically closed.
Then, a woman’s voice reverberated in the space,”[Go back to your seats, the teacher is going to start playing.]
“What’s the situation? Did you farm monsters again?” The demon ghost used his flashlight to scan the area, but he didn’t see anything. The source of the sound was also erratic and difficult to determine.
“This should be a hint.” Feng bujue, on the other hand, said calmly,”do as the voice says, and it will trigger the next plot.”
“Then … Shall we go over and sit down?” As Xiao Tan spoke, he turned to look at the square stools.
“It’s not that simple …” Little Ling’s expression darkened as she continued,”the numbers written on these chairs are obviously meaningful … And the voice just said that we should sit in ‘our own seats’.”
“In other words …” RUO Yu continued,”if someone sits in the wrong seat, it might cause something bad to happen.”
“Hey, hey … It’s one thing for Feng bujue to be scaring people, but why are you all also making such scary comments?!” When the demon ghost heard the word “not good,” he started to panic again.
“Ha … This is a practical problem right in front of us. No matter how scary it is, we have to look at it and solve it.” Brother Jue smiled and continued,”but don’t worry too much. The problem with the seating … I realized it not long after I entered this classroom.”
“What? And you’ve already solved it?” Ghost hunter thought for a few seconds and then said loudly,”Oh! I know, it’s according to the order of the seats in the classroom, right? That is … The first person in the first row is a 1, the second person is a 2, and so on …”
“That’s not right. ” The next second, before brother Jue could say anything, Ling had already denied ghost Hunter’s answer.”How do you know that you should use the order from left to right, and top to bottom?”
“That’s right …” An Yueqin chimed in.”You’ve seen hideji Noguchi’s diary, right? it was written from top to bottom, right to left. What if the seats are arranged in that way?”
“Furthermore …” RUO Yu added,”even if we follow the order of ‘first to the left’, there might be a pattern of ‘the first person in the first row is 1, and the first person in the second row is 2’.”
“This …” After hearing what they said, ghost hunter instantly lost confidence in his answer. He could only look at brother Jue with a questioning look.”Okay … I’ll listen to your answer.”
“I think … The order here should be based on the nine-Palace diagram.” Feng bujue replied,”when I was in the second year’s class A, I was already curious about the arrangement of the tables and chairs … The three by three seats and the nine boxes in the storage cabinet seemed to be hinting at this. But until we left the classroom, there was no puzzle related to the nine palaces. ” He paused for half a second and turned his gaze to the nine square stools not far away.”But after coming here and seeing these nine numbers, it reminds me of that scene.”
“Wait a minute …” Ghost hunter interrupted.”The nine palaces you mentioned is a number game where every axis adds up to fifteen, right? The positions of the numbers in that kind of diagram aren’t fixed, right?”
“Nine on one, three on the left, seven on the right, four on the shoulder, eight on the feet, and five in the center.” A second later, Ling used a twenty-word chant to answer the demon ghost’s question.
“You heard that … There’s still a so-called ‘standard form’.” Feng bujue continued,”in any case … According to the ranking of the nine palaces, I’m a five, you’re a seven, and I’m a five. Passing rain, Flowerman, and laughing soul (brother Jue still used his friends ‘in-game nicknames in front of Phantom dawn) were 4,9, and 2, respectively, while Xiao Tan (but that was how brother Jue always called Xiao Tan) was 1. ”
“Hmm …” Ghost hunter thought for a while.”Your arrangement … Are you sure?”
“At least it’s more confident than arranging it from left to right, from top to bottom, and so on,” Feng bujue replied,”but I understand your concern because the answer to this riddle … Is indeed lacking in evidence.” He read out,”I think … We must have ‘missed some clues’ before, because according to the information we have so far, even I can’t find any clear evidence to point out which six seats the six of us correspond to.”
Brother Jue had his reasons for saying that. The situation that he had deduced in his mind … Far exceeded that of everyone here.
Take the nine names from Year 2 class A for example. They were all in Roman pinyin, fake names, strokes, radicals, connections to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and even famous people with the same surname … Brother Jue had considered and filtered all of them. The other related information was also based on this level of divergence. Based on that, Feng bujue said something like ‘based on the information we have so far’.
However, the current situation did not allow the players to look for any more clues.
[Didn’t you guys hear that? [I told you to sit tight!]
Just as everyone was hesitating, the voice rang out again, and this time, it sounded even more violent and sinister than before.
