"There's no record of this in the book, I don't know." The aura of the Hundred Spirit Beast weakened a bit as it drooped its head.
I sighed and knew that I couldn't rely on it. It seemed that I could only try to figure it out by myself. I looked at the dejected Hundred Spirit Beast and said, "If you dare destroy my library again, I'll strip you clean and leave you in the cold." I pointed at the Spirit Communication Beast and warned it.
After teaching the Hundred Spirit Beast a lesson, I still didn't have a clue. I could only console myself and observe the situation.
In the evening, I went to elder sister's room. The arrangement of her room was the same as mine, but because elder sister lived with brother-in-law, she was hungry, so the decorations were more neutral. Without the girl in my room, I wandered around the room and secretly placed spells everywhere in the room.
After I set up the formation, I sat on the sofa of my elder sister and the others and nodded my head. I was very satisfied, this is the most relaxed time since I set up the formation, and also the most beautiful time.
At this moment, my gaze shifted to a music box placed in the middle of my sister's bookshelf. I was a little curious, but I felt that the music box was not in a proper position and shouldn't have been placed there. I walked over to take it off with a tap of my feet.
I opened the lid, and inside was a girl in a white ballerina dancing. Her posture was graceful and her steps were gentle, and this was the first thing this doll gave me, but it didn't have the music I had expected. I fiddled with it for a while, and it seemed like it was too old to be used, but unfortunately, I still wanted to hear what kind of sound it would make.
I brought the music box to my sister's side. "Sis, how did you get this music box? It seems to be broken and there's no sound."
Looking at the music box, her face turned pale as she stared at the doll, "It's this, it's this. Last night, I dreamt that I became this kind of doll, spinning on the tip of my toes.
My elder sister was probably shocked. She slapped the music box in my hand away and fell to the ground. Luckily, it didn't break. I hurriedly picked up the music box.
"Sister, how did you get this music box?" I looked at my sister. My sister had never had any interest in this kind of antique. My brother-in-law was also a geek. He didn't have such a hobby for collection.
"I don't know. It was like the music box was already there before we moved in. We didn't touch the bookshelf and thought it was just a soundless music box, but we thought it made sense to put it here, so we didn't think too much about it and just treated it as a work of art."
After hearing my sister's words, I became even more confused. Who would put such an evil music box here? Could it be my great-uncle? He has high hopes for us, so he definitely wouldn't do something that would harm us.
"Sis, don't worry, I'm accompanying you. Believe me, the grandfather of one of our roommates is studying these things, this is the protective talisman she gave me, it is said to be able to disperse evil spirits, dissipate bad luck, and it can also play a life-saving role in critical moments. You can carry it, so that even if there is something dirty, it won't harm your forehead!" I took out a peach wood protective talisman from my bosom, and it was engraved with a spell. His sister was still half believing and half wondering what was going on, but she still wore it on her neck.
Very soon, I involuntarily fell asleep. When I felt that I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely heard a melodious music that seemed to be very far away from me. I immediately got up from the boat and looked at my sister, who was sleeping soundly on the side. Fortunately, under the protection of the talisman, my sister didn't hear the music.
I took the music box from the headboard and studied it in my hand. When I turned on the light, the room was lit up, and for a moment I felt brave and sleepy.
From afar, the music box still looked the same as before, so there wasn't anything wrong with it. However, when I compared it carefully, I discovered that the position of the person inside the music box had slightly changed. I looked at this strange music box and realized that the sound just now was coming from this music box.
What made me even more baffled was that the music had already started, but the spell I stuck in the room didn't have any reaction, and the spell didn't have any trace of damage, so there were only two possibilities. The source of the sound was either due to the presence of a ghost, or it was caused by a ghost whose power was far greater than mine, so I couldn't feel his presence.
I hope it's the first guess. If it's the second guess, then it's really bad. My strength is so much higher than mine, I definitely won't be able to beat it.
I thought for a moment, steeled my heart, turned off the light, and went back to my bed, waiting for the music to come again when my consciousness would fade, but I waited a long time until I really fell asleep, and I didn't hear it again.
It was the morning of the second day when I opened my eyes again. I thought for a moment and guessed that the music hadn't appeared because I had been alerted. If that was the case, it would be even more difficult to lure it out again.
Big sister was still sleeping soundly by my side. I called out to her, but she didn't respond. I called out to her again, but she still didn't move. I quickly shook her, "Big sister, what's wrong? Wake up quickly." It was as if I had just fallen asleep, but no matter what, I couldn't wake her up. I panicked in my heart, what should I do? I thought of the Hundred Spirit Beast, so I quickly summoned it out from the Spirit Communication Space.
"What? Why did you call grandpa out so early in the morning?"
