The suona was pitch black and there seemed to be delicate patterns on the surface. These patterns formed some kind of text, but Lu Ban could not recognize it.

【The bandit’s suona】

【excellent】

[A weathered suona, as long as you hold it in your hands, you can master how to play it]

[Suona only sounds in the mouths of some craftsmen from the East in the abandoned city]

[People believe that this instrument originated from the worship of certain gods, and its sound can attract the attention of great beings]

[Whether sad or happy, the loud voice always penetrates the heart]

[“Don’t brag, we’re one of us!”]

[Price: 444 Silence Points]

More than 400 silence points are relatively cheap among high-quality products.

The reason why Lu Ban likes suona is that he thinks it is very festive. No matter what kind of music it is, it can be turned into a cheerful song with the high-pitched sound of suona.

In addition, the suona itself is also used in funerals and other occasions. It is closely related to the dead, and it also has the effect of warding off evil spirits.

Finally, the description of this item seems relatively safe, at least ordinary people can use it. Moreover, the task instructions include a sentence not to stop playing. Lu Ban guessed that music might be the key to completing the task.

He really has no musical talent. The only instrument he can play is the recorder, which he learned in elementary school, and a triangle, which can barely be considered a trick.

Therefore, it is quite difficult for Lu Ban to learn to play in a short period of time.

This suona seems to be tailor-made for Lu Ban.

Thinking of this, he got off the subway at the station, went to a deserted place, and immediately clicked to buy.

Lu Ban suddenly felt that his backpack had become a little heavier.

He opened his backpack and found a suona inside.

The pattern on the surface of this suona actually looks very complicated, but it feels very smooth when you touch it. The glaze of the suona is different from that of ceramics and wood, and is more like the bones of some creature.

Holding it in his hand, Lu Ban felt certain knowledge flowing into his brain. However, unlike the [Last Words], this knowledge was like some kind of sticky spider web, spreading on the surface of the grooves of the cerebral cortex, as if it would be pulled out at any time.

Now Lu Ban is able to master the playing methods and techniques of suona, and he feels that he is roughly at the level of a skilled worker.

After thinking about it, Lu Ban brought the suona to his lips and started to play it.

The high-pitched sound immediately penetrated the air and echoed along the street.

Lu Ban's fingers moved naturally, and it seemed as if his hands and mouth no longer belonged to him, existing only to play this piece of music.

The winding sound of suona echoed in the street. This was a suburban area with not many pedestrians, but Lu Ban's actions were enough to attract attention.

Lu Ban felt that as he played, his whole body became tense and his joints became stiff, like a dying old man. Only his fingers became more and more flexible, and he played short and intense melodies.

Lu Ban had never heard of this song, but judging from the melody, it seemed to be some kind of music for a festival or ceremony, which had a calming effect on the mind.

Before he knew it, more and more people were surrounding Lu Ban.

Lu Ban glanced at the audience next to him and saw that the man seemed to have his soul taken away by something. His expression was dull and his eyes were lifeless. He only swayed his body slowly to the rise and fall of the suona sound.

He found that all the listeners had fallen into a similar state.

Those people were in a trance, confused, and dazed. They just curled up slightly towards Lu Ban who was playing the flute, as if they were worshipping some supreme being.

Lu Ban, who was playing the flute, was like a puppet on a string. He looked ahead at the sky above the low-rise buildings in the suburbs. Above the originally blue sky was the deep and boundless universe and the stars.

Among the stars, a star shines brightly, echoing the melody of the suona.

“……!!!”

When Lu Ban saw the star, his scalp went numb and he felt his brain, which was entangled in a spider web of knowledge, buzzing.

His vision penetrated the atmosphere, moved away from the solar system, and approached the dark yellow star at an incredible speed.

At this moment, Lu Ban's body was suddenly freed from his restraints, and he hurriedly moved the suona away from his mouth.

Everything disappeared.

The people around Lu Ban came to their senses. They were a little confused, but soon thought that they were attracted by the sound of Lu Ban's suona. Many people even took out banknotes from their wallets and placed them on the ground in front of Lu Ban.

Lu Ban, who was holding a suona in his hand, had cold sweat on his forehead. Even the early summer sunshine could not dispel the gloom in his eyes.

“…There’s something wrong with this suona.”

Lu Ban felt like he was almost sent away just now.

Compared to the friend under the bed, Lu Ban felt that the experience just now was even more bizarre.

"So that great being is actually an alien?"

Lu Ban was a little afraid to look up at the sky, for fear that he would see the moon smiling at him.

At this time, Lu Ban saw that the figures on the banknotes on the ground were distorted and turned into the cold text of the system.

[Name: Lu Ban]

【Occupation: Director】

【Education: Bachelor’s degree】

…

[Willpower: 80]

[Education: 70]

[Lucky: 20]

【Sanity: 71】

[Silence Points: 1666]

[Inherent Skill: Go All In]

[Inherent Skill: Last Words]

"There's less rationality again."

Lu Ban quickly noticed the difference in his panel.

The experience just now made Lu Ban lose five points of rationality.

It seems that being frightened will reduce rationality... But why, even though being frightened can easily make people's thinking confused, they should return to normal afterwards?

"If the sanity value reaches zero...what will happen?"

The more Lu Ban thought about it, the bigger the problem seemed to him.

He bent down to pick up the money and counted it. It was almost a thousand. He didn't know whether it was because everyone was really infected by the suona or for some mysterious and unknowable reason.

"If I really have trouble making ends meet in the future, I will play the suona to make money."

Lu Ban joked to himself.

“So, these products are actually fighting fire with fire?”

He thought again.

If you encounter some evil spirits or ghosts in the theater at night, if you blow the suona yourself, you might summon even more bizarre things to suppress those ghosts.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban didn't know whether he should be relieved or worried.

"Forget it, I've already changed it."

He consoled himself.

Even if you don't play it, maybe using the suona to hit those strange things will have some effect.

With more than a thousand silence points left, Lu Ban decided to exchange them for a suitable weapon.

He cannot use firearms such as guns and ammunition as they can easily hurt himself and may not be very effective against ghosts.

He continued to flip through the catalogue as he boarded the bus to the former site of the Grand Theatre.

The scenery outside the window became more and more desolate, rapidly evolving from the original low-rise buildings to the bungalows in the urban-rural fringe. Soon, Lu Ban saw paddy fields and streams used for irrigation.

When he arrived at the station, Lu Ban had already chosen a suitable weapon.

It was the [Physics Holy Sword] under the [Weapon] list.
