Chapter 179 - The Inconceivable on the Campus (2)
No matter how I looked at it, this girl was a living human. It seemed that we had made a big fuss and mistook her for a soul. But since I had already entered, I said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm disturbing you!"
Li Ruoxi nodded at the girl, and then asked politely: "I am a tourist who just arrived at Schools, I was just strolling around, I didn't want to disturb you, what are you doing here?"
The girl didn't seem to like talking. She wasn't disgusted with us, but was naturally introverted. She still lowered her head, her hands tightly grasping her book as she muttered softly, "She's listening to the master of the room playing the zither."
Oh, so it's just listening to the zither. I knew it, how can there be a soul in broad daylight?
Wait a minute!
Why do I feel like something isn't right? Listening to the master of this room playing the zither, wasn't the owner of this room Peach Blossom? Since they were already dead, then what was there to play?!
I hastily replied, "What did you say? You heard the master playing the zither. Do you know whose room it is?"
Unexpectedly, the girl knew the situation better than we did.
This girl's name is Nangong Qingtian.
Nangong Qingtian was the leader of the mysterious society!
According to Nangong Qingtian, after Peach Blossom died, she would often hear the sound of a piano in the room, as if telling herself to listen to music. But according to Nangong Qingtian, the sound of the piano was not Peach Blossom, and the sound was extremely chaotic, completely different from the usual music that Peach Blossom played on, and it was not just for a day or two. After Peach Blossom died, this sound would always be heard whenever they passed by.
I stood where I was and listened attentively, but for some reason, I realized that I couldn't hear anything at all. I looked at Ruo Xi and she expressed that she was the same as me.
I hurriedly said to Nangong Qingtian: "I dare ask, can you hear this music now?"
Unexpectedly, Nangong Qingtian nodded and replied: "The music is still playing!"
Nangong Qingtian really doesn't like to talk, every time we ask a question, the other party would only reply, and the answer would only be a few words, if not asked in detail, it would be impossible to understand.
However, this kind of thing requires patience. After Li Ruoxi and I asked a few times, I finally learnt that there was always a kind of chaotic piano sound in the room, and this kind of sound could only be heard by Nangong Qingtian herself.
In the face of this situation, there are only two possibilities in my mind. The first is that Nangong Qingtian is speaking the truth, and the second is that there is some mental problem with Nangong Qingtian.
But right now, other than Nangong Qingtian who is in front of me, I don't have any other clues. I can only believe the words of the other party, and I asked: "Do you hear the same tune every time?"
Nangong Qingtian quietly shook her head, it was only then that I realised the book in Nangong Qingtian's hand was a type of black magic book, written by a author from Europe and America, but this kind of book was not of much use, it was just an entertainment book, with many of the incantations written inside being fake.
Although Nangong Qingtian didn't like to talk much, but from the other party's actions, I could tell that the matter of the peach blossoms was extremely shocking to Nangong Qingtian. She reckoned that the reason Nangong Qingtian held this book in her hands was because she thought that if she knew a little spell, he would probably be able to find the peach blossoms.
Every time we speak, the other party would be completely expressionless, but I know that Nangong Qingtian must be feeling extremely grieved in her heart. At this point, I didn't even bother to say anything proper and directly asked: "Do you know how to play the zither? If I could just pop out the sound you heard? "
I didn't expect Nangong Qingtian to nod her head. I was so happy that I quickly opened up a music classroom and brought Nangong Qingtian to find a piano to play.
Nangong Qingtian put down the book and sat in front of the piano, taking in a deep breath. It was as if she had instantly become taller, and looking at this, I finally understood that ever since Peach Blossom died, Nangong Qingtian had actually been searching for the true cause of death for her. These two people, were not only related to each other, but also had similar hobbies in their lives.
The piano she played was also very nice to listen to, but the piano music was too messy. It was like a series of random songs, one for this song, the other for that song.
I don't understand music anyway, so I'll just listen.
After playing for about 10 minutes, I felt that the music had returned. I interrupted the other party's performance and said, "Excuse me, I felt as if the tune that you just played had returned. What is going on?"
Nangong Qingtian stopped what she was doing, turned around and said: "What I heard was exactly like this, I kept repeating that paragraph."
