Chapter 149 Mizuki Private High School (Twenty-one)
The first fake button was placed in such an obvious place, and such obvious clues were given, as if they were afraid that players would not be able to find it.
So it is not difficult to find the second button according to this idea.
Although the bookshelf in front of them was huge and had a lot of things on it, after standing there for a while, the two of them simultaneously shifted their gaze to the display stand in the upper right corner.
The display stand is one foot square, with a page of hand-painted music in the middle, bounded by an acrylic board.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of music theory, if they read this piece of music from the beginning, will immediately tell that this is not a masterpiece handed down from a certain master, and because of the abruptness of the melody and rhythm, it is difficult to call it a finished work.
But as long as you are a little patient and start reading from the end, you will immediately recognize that this is a melody from the "Art of Fugue" by the music master Bach.
It was placed there so obviously, but the tune was completely opposite, so it was hard for Nan Huan and Bei Xi not to notice it.
This time Nan Huan did not ask A Liu to come and help. First, she felt that the system would not be so stupid and the effect of the fake button would not be the same every time. Second, even if it was the previous situation, she and Bei Xi would be able to handle it, so she was not too worried. She was just a little curious. What did the system mean by perhaps being able to open the door to a new world?
However, when she was about to take the acrylic board with the music score from the bookshelf, Bei Xi's hand had already taken it down before her.
As soon as the thing left its original position, the music score inside seemed to be ignited, turning into ashes from the lower right corner until it disappeared completely.
And in the center of the acrylic board, there is a fluorescent yellow button.
Bei Xi had no patience and pressed the button without even waiting for the halo to completely cover it.
There was a blank second, as if nothing had happened.
Nan Huan was still standing there, looking around, wanting to see what would happen this time, when suddenly Bei Xi grabbed his waist and moved to the side.
Bei Xi didn't control the strength well, and Nan Huan's forehead hit her shoulder. Her scream was strangled in her throat, and before she could fully raise her head, she seemed to see something falling from the ceiling out of the corner of her eye, accompanied by a squeaking sound.
At such a high distance, just the sound of an object falling would make a loud noise.
Not only do those things have bells on them, some of them can even roll. In short, after the silence, there is a tinkling sound.
[Oops, it seems your luck is not good today, you found a fake button again. ]
The system was gloating over the misfortune of others, and there was no sympathy in its tone, but there was a sense of ease in its tone.
Nan Huan couldn't speak, so he could only roll his eyes in his heart.
The falling sound only lasted for a few seconds. Bei Xi held her on the shoulders and did not release her until nothing fell from the ceiling anymore.
Nan Huan finally saw clearly what had just poured out from the ceiling.
Because the ground was covered with ocean balls with bells and yellow screaming chickens, Nan Huan finally figured out where the strange cry when something fell to the ground just now came from.
The screaming chicken only made a sound when it landed on the ground, but the ocean ball was different. Because it was unstable, it kept colliding back and forth with the bell, and it took a long time to completely quiet down.
The two of them took advantage of Beixi's body size and huddled aside the bookshelf. Only the clean space between Beixi and themselves was not occupied. The whole room was covered with these things.
But the noise was too loud. Nan Huan raised his head and looked outside the door. Before he could see anything, he saw several wisps of black air running in from the door.
[This punishment: Within ten minutes, the entire floor of the building will be occupied by ocean balls and screaming chickens. Good luck.]
Nan Huan held back a curse word, why is it that good things never work, but bad things always do.
She was still doubting it just now, but since there were ocean balls in the room, the sound shouldn't be so loud.
Now there is no need to doubt it, the system has given the answer.
But now is not the time to think about these things, because the sound-catching beasts have already come here following the sound.
Before the shape was fully transformed, the black ears had already curled up and swept over.
Bei Xi put his arm around Nan Huan's waist, used the bookshelf for support, and with his other hand he deliberately rubbed Nan Huan's shoulder blade.
Ever since she acquired an additional skill, Nan Huan felt that the area of her shoulder blades was more sensitive than before.
However, she knew clearly that at this moment, Bei Xi would not suddenly have the urge to be intimate with her. Before her heart moved slightly, the pair of snow-white wings on her shoulder blades flew out uncontrollably.
I don't know when this thing became so familiar with Bei Xi. It was clearly growing on his body, but it came out obediently just because of the other party's action.
Nan Huan felt a little embarrassed and simply turned his head away from looking at Bei Xi.
Now the ground of this building is like a whole bomb. If you touch it a little, it will make a non-stop ding-dong sound. There is no way to get rid of the sound-catching beast behind you.
Fortunately, the music building is very wide, both in terms of floor height and corridors, so even if Nanhuan flaps its big wings, it will not hit anything.
The sound produced by the explosion of the air arrow will be louder, and more and more sound-catching beasts are surrounding him. In order to get rid of them as soon as possible, Bei Xi waved his hand, and the iron axe silently pierced the ears of several flying beasts.
A little fine sand fell on the ground, but Nan Huan had no time to care about it at this time.
The noise might be loudest here, originating from the eighth floor. As soon as she turned out of the classroom, she saw several sound-catching beasts crowded together in front of the corridor, blocking the stairs.
"Fly forward, we're going underground."
Bei Xi turned around and stabbed into the bloody mouth of a sound-catching beast. Without even raising his head, he said something to Nan Huan.
The two of them had a good understanding of each other, and after spending some time in the dungeon, they were able to work together very well.
Nanhuan flapped its wings to control the direction of flight.
Bei Xi raised his iron axe and swung it down. The black ears that were almost in front of his eyes and were about to be wrapped around the snow-white wings in the next second turned into a handful of fine sand and fell to the ground the moment Bei Xi waved his hand.
The two of them just fought their way out of the corridor on the eighth floor. After turning into the staircase, Bei Xi made a feint to the east and shot an air arrow at the other end of the corridor.
The sound-catching beasts were instantly attracted over, and the two took the opportunity to fly down the stairs. After a few turns, there was no trace of the sound-catching beasts behind them.
In the stairwell, the only sound that could be heard was Nan Huan flapping his wings and gently brushing against the air.
Nan Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had been accustomed to her wings for some time, it was still rare for her to be able to fly and fight at the same time. Especially inside a building, she was always a little nervous.
"What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Bei Xi put one arm around the other person's waist, making it easy for him to sense her movements. With the other hand, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat off her forehead, which was not there at all.
Nan Huan shook his head, "I'm not tired, just a little nervous."
"The previous dungeon was so dangerous, but I never saw you get nervous?"
Bei Xi spoke to her in a low voice, seeming a little curious, not quite understanding where Nan Huan's nervousness came from.
"I'm afraid my wings will hit something. It's so narrow here."
Nan Huan was distracted while talking to her, but his eyes were still on the tip of his wings. "It's dirty. It's very troublesome to wash it."
Although the entire music building was closed, some sunlight still came in through the tightly closed blue glass in the corridor, shining on Nan Huan's profile, reflecting her little expression, which was real and cute.
Bei Xi's eyebrows suddenly curved and a silent smile appeared on his face.
She reached out and gently patted the edge of Nan Huan's wings, as if to comfort him, "It's okay, I'll help you clean it if it gets dirty."
She said this very seriously, and indeed she had no ill intentions.
But it sounded different to Nan Huan. This ambiguous sentence easily reminded her of a night she couldn't bear to look back on. Her face suddenly turned red like flaming magma, and she stumbled over her words, "I, I, I... I didn't mean that."
While stuttering, Nan Huan remembered to lower her voice, which made her explanations sound like she was reluctant but also willing.
Bei Xi was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized that Nan Huan had misunderstood.
The arm around Nan Huan's waist was deliberately tightened a little, and he leaned over and rubbed Nan Huan's ear, "Oh, I didn't mean that originally, but after hearing what you said, I really did mean that. I still remember that your wings are very sensitive, I was just light... um..."
"The sun is still bright, don't do it in broad daylight. We...we are still on a mission..."
When Nan Huan heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood first. He quickly covered Bei Xi's mouth and found some plausible reasons to cover up the matter.
The two of them were arguing with each other, of course, mainly because Bei Xi was pretending not to understand and was deliberately talking at cross purposes with Nan Huan.
Until I turned downstairs from the stairwell on the first floor.
Although Nan Huan had an idea of what this semi-sunken building was like when she saw it outside the door, she was still silent for a moment when she saw the large concert hall on the underground floor that was dozens of meters high.
The concert hall, which can accommodate 2,000 people at the same time, is not particularly large, but the organ that is integrated with the murals, with the longest brass and woodwind instruments more than ten meters high and occupying half of the stage, really amazed Nanhuan.
After all, in the real world, organs of this level can only be found in national-level concert halls or theaters, or they can be preserved together with ancient churches.
Perhaps because the organ was so beautiful, any disrespectful behavior would be considered blasphemy, so no ocean balls or screaming chickens fell from the stand. Nan Huan spotted the spot and flew over with Bei Xi.
Even after her feet touched the ground for a long time, she still stood there, looking up slightly, admiring the grandeur before her.
“Is this thing real?”
She walked to the side of the console, felt the wood texture along the edge of the keyboard with her hands, and asked a somewhat silly question.
Every copy of this game is very real. The NPCs in it have their own lives and their own rules that belong to the copy world. Nan Huan would often remind himself at the beginning that this is just a game world.
But every time she was shocked by something in the copy world, she would have some ideas that seemed unrealistic.
If they hadn't come and there were no games, this might also be a real world.
There was a brief flash of confusion and a moment of absent-mindedness in her eyes.
"certainly,"
Bei Xi saw through Nan Huan's thoughts at a glance, understood her dilemma, and knew what answer she wanted, so she didn't hesitate at all and blurted out the answer.
"The werewolf in the castle is real, the Aconitum you brought back is real, the Brave New World is real, evolution is real, the catastrophe you prevented is real, the people rescued there are real, A-Liu is real, the princess is real, and of course this piano is real."
Nan Huan's fingers had been wrapped by a pair of big hands without her knowing when.
Bei Xi's hands were very warm, and with every word she spoke, she clenched her hands a little tighter.
It was not until the confusion in Nan Huan's eyes completely faded away and the roots of his fingers were swollen from being pinched that Nan Huan finally came to his senses.
He saw Bei Xi in front of him, still holding his fingers, looking down at him seriously.
"Me too."
After she said this, she hugged Nan Huan in her arms, as if she wanted him to feel her body temperature and feel this real feeling.
Nan Huan leaned on Bei Xi's shoulder, took a deep breath, and smelled the pleasant scent on Bei Xi. When he looked up again, the expression on his face had returned to normal.
"I know you're real,"
This was like a response to Bei Xi's previous words. She stretched out her arms to hold the other's waist, and moved her cheek back and forth on the other's shoulder. "Do you think the system will secretly curse me in its heart when it sees us still flirting here?"
Although the mission hasn't changed at all, the two of them are chatting here leisurely.
Bei Xi held her cheek, stopping her from swaying left and right, "Maybe it's jealous and envious?"
Relying on the fact that the system would not answer unless summoned, Bei Xi opened his mouth and spoke.
Nan Huan was amused by her and laughed silently for a while before standing up from Bei Xi's arms.
"I don't know whether it's envious or not. I just know that we really can't get out of here. It's destined to laugh at us."
Nan Huan looked around. This time, there was no more amazement in her eyes, but a bit of sharpness. "Will this place not give us another fake button?"
"It's not hard to understand why the system has such a bad taste, but it's a pity for this place."
Bei Xi saw that she had returned to normal, so he stopped being annoying. While talking, he started walking around the operating table, looking for anything strange or out of place.
The organ was so huge that Nanhuan went around to the other side, and what came into view were countless pipes.
Different materials, different heights, and different thicknesses.
But without exception, they are all very exquisite, especially the murals carved on each pipe, which are integrated with the wall behind the concert hall and become part of the building.
It is naturally impossible for Nanhuan to check each pipe one by one.
The system shouldn't be so boring as to hide the button inside the tube without giving any clues.
Although this seems to create obstacles for players to complete tasks, it also loses fairness and fun, and is inconsistent with the consistent tone of the game.
So she just walked around the bellows and pipes, and after finding nothing unusual, she returned to the operating table.
Because the organ in front of me is really big, there are four layers of keyboards on the operating table, and countless stops and buttons on the wooden boxes on both sides, which are used to operate this exquisite instrument and produce elegant sounds.
Nan Huan sat down on the piano stool in front of the keyboard, looking at the black and white keyboard, trying to find out if there was any strange situation here like the previous two buttons.
After two minutes, apart from the fact that his eyes were almost completely occupied by the black and white keys, Nan Huan didn't notice anything special at all.
This is strange, why did the system style suddenly change?
This place is an excellent location, both in terms of the lack of mines on the ground and the value of the organ and its ability to attract players' attention.
If you don't find those superficial fake buttons deliberately set up by the system, it means that there is a high probability that there are real clues in this place.
Nanhuan came to this conclusion after almost no time.
The real clues will definitely not be laid out in the open like the false clues. There will always be some difficulty for the players, but the answer cannot really be hidden in a dark pipe.
Nan Huan sat on the piano stool and thought for a while, then turned his gaze to the tuning pegs on the wooden box next to the keyboard.
The oval-shaped stops, with white heads and black tails, are neatly arranged on the wooden box like game controllers.
Because the organ is so large, the number of stops exceeds the number that can be roughly calculated. For ease of operation, black letters are engraved on the heads of the stops to indicate the control area.
After watching it for a long time, I even feel a bit of trypophobia.
But Nan Huan seemed very patient, with no sign of anxiety on his face, his eyes just moved up and down.
It was not until I had finished watching the first dozen or so rows that I suddenly saw an abrupt sound stop.
It is hidden inside all the stops, and at first glance, its presence is not noticeable.
Only after carefully looking at many stops will you slightly notice that its color is not so white, but a bit dark yellow, and the material is also different from the surrounding stops. If you don't look at them one by one, it is really difficult to find it.
It seemed that she paused for a little too long. Bei Xi, who was walking behind her, also noticed her gaze. After looking over, he finally discovered the awkwardness.
"The level of realism is quite high. You can't spot it just by standing here and taking a quick glance."
Bei Xi stood there with his arms folded, looked around, and gave the system a pretty good evaluation.
Nan Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did the tone sound like someone was supervising a game?
She stood up and slowly approached the button with Bei Xi. After careful observation, they found that the front end of the special material of the stop was actually made of fine white sand.
I don't know what the system has come up with, but the fine, dry sand has indeed condensed into the shape of a sound stop, hidden inside a normal sound stop, making it indistinguishable from the real thing.
When the two of them had admired it enough, Bei Xi stretched out a finger and pressed it down.
