Chapter 401 The Fourth Movement Humans Tell Me (4): Mysterious Chords (Two in One)

is it possible?

Mr. F = Scriabin?
In fact, there is no piece of evidence that can directly support this absurd guess, and if the guess is true, it will lead to more unexplainable questions—including the travel mechanism, the purpose of the action, and why he did not use the composition in his "this life" The public activities of his family identity, when did he first start to follow and study the "Zhenyan Zhizhi", what happened with Fan Chenxun or Vincent, etc...

But there is no piece of evidence that can directly deny it, and every clue can be related to a certain part of the guess.

The process of generating this inexplicable sense of doubt is like seeing the shadow of an unknown giant in a quiet and dim room after the halos of the candles in the "Weaving and Stitching Method" are superimposed just now.

Fan Ning suddenly discovered that some of the confusion at the last replay meeting had "reverse rationality" instead. This person's motive was not to seize the "old days", otherwise there would be no need to wait for his time at the Weird Art Museum. One shot, as early as 40 years ago, he had the opportunity to take the "old days" away from Viern.

His goal with Vassius, Sylvia and others is something else?

If it is a method of elimination, the mobile phone that Fan Chenxun needs, or the key to the art museum left by Vincent?

Or there is another possibility that he temporarily needs to hold the "old days" by himself and do some things he needs, just like Viern did back then. Isn't the biggest feature of "Old Days" "reproduction of music"? Perhaps, he is waiting for his own whim to come up with a piece of Scriabin's work, and then what will happen?
The reminder Fan Chenxun left on WeChat once again flashed in Fan Ning's mind, thinking that he might have to believe 'be careful of snakes! 'It's true.

Let’s continue to call it “Mr. F” for now. After all, the Special Patrol Office is secretive about the name of the organization behind it. Speaking of a name like “Scriabin” will confuse people in subsequent discussions. It is not allowed to trigger any mystical triggers--Fan Ning has already felt the latter when facing the "Ben of Truth".

Facing the questioning eyes of the other three people on the podium, Fan Ning repeatedly thought of several "moderate" explanations, but felt that there was still no beginning and no end. I am afraid that this matter could not be explained clearly "from the origin of human beings" .

But some necessary information and speculation must be known to the companions.

After deliberating for a while, he chose to re-interpret some past events that were full of doubts and might be driven by the role of the "apostle" from an easy-to-understand shallow perspective:
"During the trip to Santaram Fort last year, the reason why I strayed into the town of Watznai can be traced back to the fact that I, Xilan, and Joan entered the secret door to explore, and I saw the 'Gabra of Mantra' for the first time in a dream. symbol."

When Fan Ning said this, he couldn't help but look at Roy again, but his "confidence" with clearer thinking also allowed him to maintain a calm and gentle tone:

"Of course, if you want to look back and question now, why did you use the secret door in the first place, and why did you run into the 'Mantra of the Word'? It can be said to be the hint and guidance of 'Miss Scarlet', but here I offer a more valuable and specific guess—"

"The members of that organization invited certain fate-related invisible powers of 'derivation' from the 'Zhenyan Zhizhi', and then used the wrong space-time folding characteristics of the town of 'Hidden Light' to transfer some of the causality involved in our decision-making. Relationships are pre-empted by misplacement."

Seeing the deep-thinking expressions of the three, Fan Ning talked about an event that happened earlier.

Investigative actions in the small town of Gogol and the Langefni Workhouse.

He explained the eyes on the railroad tracks he saw in the hotel that night, the feeling of being watched when he stood at the door of the faulty train, and the meeting of eyes before escaping from the small town of Watznai.

"A 'non-existing place' appeared in Joan's memory, and after Benjamin, who I was dealing with, went crazy, he concocted a painting incident at the Prudence Auction House. Sheeran and I decided to accompany her to verify the relevant situation. After the small town of Gori saw its own vision of the future, the head and tail buckles of this 'circle of events' have already been made."

"Because the town of Watznai and the Turner Art Museum are respectively associated with the 'hidden lamp' and the 'fountain in the painting', there is a twin relationship of 'desert' and 'cocoon', colorless and colored, and the trip to Gogol town has deepened. It was similar to the entanglement of secret history, so we ran into Benjamin who stole the painting from the Turner Museum on the way back late at night."

"The 'circle of events' continues to advance, enters the secret door to enter the dream, witnesses the 'Mantra', and encounters 'Miss Scarlet' in the dream chase, Joan inspires memory at the moment of life and death and leads us to escape, 'Desolation' and 'Cocoon' 'The secret history confrontation has come to an end for the time being, but this matter is not without end, because the mysticism trigger left by the 'Boa of Mantra' has been left behind."

"Vassius took advantage of this and recognized our special status during the trip to Fort Santaram, and only then did he determine that we were the ones he needed to guide to meet Mr. F, until he was killed provocatively and left behind a camouflage top hat , My eyes met the railroad tracks outside the building, and finally completed the closed loop."

"The camouflage top hat provided 'convenience' for my actions, so I was able to continue to push forward the goal of the 'Apostle', from Sylvia to the gel membrane, from the sealed room of the Special Inspection Office to the "Painful Room", and finally led to My reentry path was deviated, and what happened next is unknown..."

As the previous series of events were clarified by Fan Ning, the three of them couldn't help but feel a bit of coolness after clearing up their doubts.

Even post-event analysis is so difficult, how could the people at the moment avoid it?

"Caroen." Sheeran couldn't help but speak with worry, "If you say so, in the previous year or so, all the links of the incident have been affected invisibly, including your return and offset. The current situation is still being affected...Since the normal way of thinking will also fall into the pre-designed, why don't you try to make yourself 'abnormal'?"

"Sheeran makes sense." Roy's eyes lit up: "There is a saying in the Hoffmans that roughly means, 'A master player of cards is also afraid of being thrown off the table'. If you deal with everything negatively and don't take the initiative at all As, will this defeat the intention of the person behind it?"

"No." Fan Ning shook his head seriously, "You guys haven't realized that the trajectory of things so far is actually a tightrope walk and behind-the-scenes under the 'positive thinking and coping' that I know or don't know. It is formed by people fighting countless times."

"As early as Teacher Anton was killed, I was wearing ... Xilan and I were also polluted, I was able to save myself according to some tips left at home..."

"The spiritual remnants I left behind at the beginning of the "Second Symphony" in the small town of Gogol left behind the mark of the weak point of time and space that broke through the town of 'Hidden Light' by accident, otherwise I might really be trapped in the It's inside..."

"The first time I entered the secret door, it was all thanks to Joan to come out without any risk..."

"In the Weird Art Museum, the episode where Mr. F searched for the flashlight and brought out the baton had another reason. He was searching everyone, looking for another thing of mine, but I happened to leave it in the dream the night before and didn't bring it with me. Come out, this is very strange, it seems to be affected by something..."

"There is also the 'disaster' of the subway accident, all kinds of unexpected reversals..."

"In a word, if I accidentally took a wrong step in any link before, the matter would have ended early, and there would be no such twists and turns in the future."

Fan Ning has already vaguely speculated that as long as there is a certain mistake, his spirituality is defeated, or his dreams are controlled, the Qiming Church is likely to be infected.

Then the mobile phone that Fan Chenxun needs, or the key to the art museum left by Vincent, and some deep secrets that may be involved... In short, it is difficult to say what will happen.

The same is true for the several confrontations with "Miss Scarlet" after arriving in the Southern Continent, but it is inconvenient to go into details right now.

"Mr. Fanning, no matter what happened before... Let me confirm that at least the intersection between you and Mr. F is only in the weird art gallery where everyone is present, right?" Roy folded his arms and stared at Fanning.

Fan Ning shook his head slowly: "You may think that the trip to the small town of Gogol is the earliest source, but it is not."

"Earlier? Could it be the graduation concert event?" Roy speculated.

"Mr. F can also interpret the fragments of the sound sequence, and the mysterious chords mixed in it are from him." Fanning gave this conclusion with certainty.

It wasn't until that moment when he thought about connecting Mr. F and Scriabin that he realized this very clearly.

After Scriabin turned to the mystical style in the middle and late period, his most iconic musical vocabulary is "mysterious chord", which is a series of tones superimposed in the relationship of four degrees, whose tonality is blurred and the sound is empty Weird, and in the past no matter what musical period, the composition of chords was produced by the relationship of thirds. If measured by traditional standards, mysterious chords are completely "heresy music".

In the creation of the graduation concert, Cecil drew on the material of mysterious chords to provide prayer support for the esoteric ritual.

"Mysterious chords!? You mean to say that the fragments of the sound sequence are the hands and feet of Mr. F? He mixed in the weird chords mixed in those beautiful harmony progressions? Isn't it also the reason why my father was polluted at that time?" ..." Sheeran was completely stunned.

"It's not the Special Inspection Office?" Roy frowned. "No wonder Mr. F said at the time that at least three of us present had heard his music. It turned out that he was talking about mysterious chords?"

Fanning and Sheeran must have listened, and it is difficult to say whether Joan did, but there was also Julius, the symphony that Cecil played in the graduation concert, and the latter was the principal violin.

Joan, who had been thinking silently by the side, had another scene that had been neglected for a long time appeared in her mind.

That was when the three of us and Vassius investigated the scene of burning paintings at the Prudence Auction House.

……

"...As for the research results of the sound series fragments? Your special inspection hall spread this mysterious chord by yourself. Listening to pleasure will kill so many people with it. If you want to listen to it, listen to it yourself. My personal suggestion is to record a record. Put it in your office area every day." This is what Fan Ning said sarcastically at the time.

Vassius' tone was still flat: "The fragments of the sound series were consigned by the Special Inspection Office for investigation purposes, but the mysterious chords were not."

"Then it grew by itself?" Fanning asked with a playful smile.

Vassius ignored Fanning and walked in another direction.

……

"The special patrol office may not have known about the mysterious chord at the beginning."

Sure enough, Joan immediately found out that Fanning had begun to resume the matter.

"Now it is conjectured that when they investigated my Turner Art Museum, the fragments of the 'first edition' sound sequence seized from behind the painting of "Sunset and Moonrise" are normal harmony material, due to the research There was no result, and no harm was found, so it was auctioned at the auction at the level of control of ordinary antiquities, to see if anyone who knows how to do it can research it.”

"Unexpectedly, during the consignment period, Mr. F did something wrong, and then let the 'broker' disclose the news to Mr. Anton through Sylvia's party circle, and only then did what happened later."

"After the accident, the Special Inspection Office confiscated the fragments of the sound sequence again, and the mysterious chords that appeared out of thin air finally caught their attention. Of course, these people don't care what you think of them, or whether you misunderstand them. Part of it is that the behavior of Pogleric's subordinates has always been like this, you can think whatever you like, and you are not entitled to their explanation..."

"It was only after they got the "Second Edition" sound sequence fragments that they began to conduct an in-depth investigation on the source of the mysterious chords. I guess that the "About Snake" organization came into their field of vision later, and this was also used as a breakthrough."

Hearing this, Roy finally understood why Fan Ning asked for information about Mr. F as soon as they met today.

Everyone really did not expect that an inconspicuous episode in the small town of Watznai at that time would lead to the key mysterious figure behind a series of events.

Compared with the ambitious Poglerich, this Mr. F feels like another completely unfamiliar unknown danger.

"The Special Patrol Office has also made some new progress in their investigation." Roy mentioned the second source of intelligence that Fanning is concerned about, "Recently, the authorities of the three continents have reported to the discussion group that their troops have occurred on the border of the abnormal area. conflicts."

"Conflict? Army? What's so good about conflict at the border of the abnormal zone?" Joan was puzzled.

"There were a lot of people trying to get in and being blocked," Roy said.

"Hasn't it happened before?" Fanning asked. "After all, there are so many people in the world, there are all kinds of strange people."

"There have always been, but the number has surged recently, especially the borders managed by the Western Continent." Roy said.

"Western Continent..." Joan pressed the flute alternately with two fingers, "So, who are the people who want to break in?"

"There are everyone." Roy said, "There are ordinary people, there are expedition organizations, and there are those who know, most of them are forbidden, and there are also a small number of official personnel."

"So, where is the relationship with Mr. F?..." Fanning asked.

"Of course, some people were arrested when there was a conflict." Roy said, "After investigation, it was found that some people had contacted the 'About Snake' organization before."

When Fan Ning heard this, he felt that his brain, which was already overloaded, was completely inadequate now.

"Could it be that an important activity characteristic of this secret organization enshrining the 'Mantra' behind Mr. F is to instigate others to enter the abnormal zone?"

"Or in other words, Fan Chenxun in his previous life accepted an overseas order that may be related to "Apocalypse Secret Realm", and Mr. F or 'Scriabin' here is trying to pull as many people as possible into the abnormal zone go inside?"

　These chapters are the key foreshadowing of the first volume and the second volume before the intensive conclusion, and then the plot rhythm of the southern continent will accelerate.
