Chapter 013 [Who is playing the piano]



The moment he touched the pale head, Lu Ban seemed to hear a burst of laughter in his ear.

Bang——

The head exploded silently and jumped between the pages. The piles of bones formed the text of the mission.

【Who is playing the piano】

[Who is it, singing loudly in the theater at midnight, playing forbidden music, with only lonely applause echoing in the empty auditorium?]

[In the theater destroyed by fire, there are always low moans that sound like weeping and complaining. You come here, but you don’t know that you have become a character on the stage.]

[Don't stop playing, trust me, you don't want to see that]

[Mission Difficulty: Mortal]

[Task requirements: Arrive at Jiangcheng Grand Theater after sunset tomorrow, find the performer, and survive until dawn the next day to complete the mission]

[“His playing is so impressive that even the gods appreciate it”]

"...will you survive until the next morning?"

When Lu Ban saw this description, he had a bad feeling.

Seriously speaking, if there is no danger, there will be no such restrictions as in survival games.

To find a performer in an abandoned theater who knows what, and to survive until dawn, it sounds very dangerous no matter how you listen.

But after looking at the difficulty of the task, it is just at the level of an ordinary person.

Lu Ban didn’t understand what a mortal difficulty mission was, but [Friends Under the Bed] was also mortal difficulty, so they were probably about the same?

He thought that maybe staying in the abandoned theater would lead to hearing some strange noises and seeing some mysterious people.

After taking a look under his bed, Lu Ban felt that the problem was not serious.

After learning the relevant task information, he went surfing the Internet to look for clues.

After typing in the name of Jiangcheng Grand Theater, Lu Ban quickly saw that Jiangcheng did indeed have a grand theater.

This theater is located at the junction of the current Jiangcheng New District and the Old City District. It has a history of more than 50 years. Until the 1990s, it was the choice of Jiangcheng people for weekend leisure and entertainment.

But with the development of movies and later the popularization of the Internet, Jiangcheng Grand Theater gradually declined. Finally, around the beginning of the century, due to circuit problems, a serious fire broke out in Jiangcheng Grand Theater and it could not be repaired.

The owner of the theater was planning to demolish it and sell the land to a real estate developer, but later, due to unknown reasons, the transaction was shelved and the land became a wasteland with no one to deal with it to this day.

After all, these things happened twenty years ago, and the Internet was not well developed at that time. It seems reasonable that Lu Ban did not find them.

Most of the rumors about Jiangcheng Grand Theater are distributed in local forums, bulletin boards and other places that are out of date. Many pages are no longer valid, but Lu Ban still found some clues.

"…Legend has it that the fire was caused by an affair between the boss's wife and an actor in the theater. After their affair was exposed, they were tied to the stage and burned to death in the theater!"

"No, it was the people in the theater who used this place to conduct illegal transactions behind the scenes. Later, the uneven distribution of the spoils led to a fight, which caused the entire theater to be burned down. I saw the police surrounding the place with my own eyes!"

"Don't believe everything you hear. In fact, this theater was built on an ancient battlefield. Too many people died there, and the negative energy is too strong, so it is often haunted. The reason why the theater has not been sold is because of the ghosts!"

"I heard from the mother of my nephew's classmate that there are people singing and playing the piano in that theater at night. It's so scary!"

"What kind of ghosts and gods are these? It's the 21st century and people still believe in these things. In my opinion, there may be something wrong with the geomagnetic field there, which causes people to have hallucinations. This can all be explained by science!"

Most of these speeches have disappeared into the history of the Internet along with simple web pages, and only a few of them can be seen through snapshots.

As for more in-depth information, Lu Ban felt that it might be difficult to find on the Internet and he would have to go to the library.

Tomorrow I will go to the library to look up newspaper and periodical materials from that year, and then go to Jiangcheng Grand Theater to watch the card in the evening.

Having made the decision, he became calm instead, no longer feeling the excitement of a primary school student going on a spring outing the next day.

After washing up, Lu Ban took another look under the bed and found it was empty.

Although that incident made him a little hesitant, he had no other place to sleep now.

When people are poor, they can sleep even in a haunted funeral home.

After turning off the lights and lying on the bed and watching videos for a while, Lu Ban gradually fell into sleepiness.

In a daze, Lu Ban suddenly felt something pressing down on him.

He tried to open his eyes and stand up, but his eyelids were heavy as stones and his body was stiff, as if he was dead. His chest seemed to be compressed and he had difficulty breathing. He would soon die.

This feeling is just like when I was about to wake up from a dream last night.

While struggling subconsciously, Lu Ban's right hand suddenly felt a cold, soft and delicate hand.

The hand seemed to comfort Lu Ban as it gently held his fingers and rubbed Lu Ban's palm.

With the touch of this hand, Lu Ban felt that the pressure on his body suddenly decreased a lot. Although he still couldn't lift his eyelids and his hands and feet were still unable to move, Lu Ban felt a lot more relaxed and his consciousness was not so confused.

The fingertips of his left hand moved slightly, and a silver revolver with a long barrel and large caliber appeared there.

Bang--

Lu Ban's consciousness completed the firing of the pistol. A sound began to appear in his mind, and echoed in the room along with the opening and closing of his mouth.

"Good luck to you, I wish you good luck, good luck brings joy and love, good luck to us, good luck to you..."

It's "Good Luck Comes".

Lu Ban currently has five speech bombs loaded, including a segment of "Good Luck Comes", which is the original version.

Don’t ask, the answer is to ward off evil spirits.

I don’t know if it was because of the cheerful melody of the song or the use of Lu Ban’s own ability, but the feeling of oppression on him suddenly disappeared.

Lu Ban opened his eyes.

In the dim room, the cabinet cast a deep shadow in the dim light, and an unknown shadow swayed behind the curtain. Lu Ban subconsciously touched his shoulder to make sure there was nothing else on it, then he climbed out of bed with the help of the light from his mobile phone to the song "Good Luck Comes".

Turning on the light, he glanced under the bed.

Empty.

Standing up, Lu Ban carefully opened the cabinet again.

Crunch——

There was a sound of the cupboard door opening and closing. Lu Ban took a look and found an eye staring at him between the clothes he had folded!

"!!!"

Lu Ban's heart skipped a beat and he took a half step back.

But soon, he saw clearly that the eyes were just prints on the sweater.

"There is probably something in this room."

At this point, even Lu Ban could understand that there was probably something strange in his room.

And there is more than one.

At least the thing that made him unable to move and the cold and soft hand were two different existences.

Lu Ban thought about it.

He turned on the computer and started playing the playlist of the Spring Festival Gala, letting the cheerful music fill the whole room.

Lying down on the bed, Lu Ban fell asleep peacefully to the melodious music of "Unforgettable Tonight".
