Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 104: Pre-Life Mapping
Zhang Xingzhi...dead?
When He Chu reacted, Zhang Xingzhi had disappeared.

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee……"

The strange laughter suddenly echoed throughout the classroom.

He Chu was dizzy from the laughter.

He shouted, "Zhang Xingzhi!"

"Where are you?"

"Zhang Xingzhi!"

There was no answer except the ghost's laughter.

Zhang Xingzhi is really missing.

impossible……

He Chu didn't believe that Zhang Xingzhi would die so easily.

But Zhang Xingzhi's disappearance proved one thing.

There's no point in making the sound louder to drown out the guitar.

He Chu's mind had never worked so fast before, for himself and also to save Zhang Xingzhi, whose whereabouts were unknown at the moment.

He looked around the entire music classroom. Apart from the ghost hand playing the guitar on the wall, the only thing that seemed strange was another musical instrument in the classroom—

Piano in the corner.

There are only two musical instruments in the music classroom. One is a guitar hanging on the wall at the back of the classroom, which is currently being played by a ghost.

The other musical instrument is the piano next to the podium.

Ghost hands emerged from the wall, playing the sounds of "fa" and "si." Then, the ghost hands attacked from all directions. The guitar sounds stopped at the moment of attack, indicating that the attacking ghost hands and the ghost hands playing the guitar were the same hands...

Is there something wrong with the piano?
Can't we just use other sounds to cover it up? Why use the sound of the piano, which is also an instrument, to cover up the sound of the guitar?

He Chu was the only one left now, and he knew he couldn't waste any more time. Zhang Xingzhi had just disappeared, and if he solved the mystery quickly, he might still be saved. If he delayed any longer, not to mention Zhang Xingzhi, He Chu couldn't even guarantee that he could escape the next attack.

He immediately ran to the piano.

He Chu had some understanding of music, but it was only some basic musical knowledge, not enough to play a whole piece of music smoothly.

He opened the piano lid and placed his hands on the black and white keys. Anyone who knew how to play the piano could tell at a glance that He Chu's hand shape was wrong. His fingers were too straight because he was nervous.

It's not like playing the piano at all, it's more like poking at the piano.

But it doesn't matter, at least it can make a sound.

The ghost plays fa and si.

Should I play do, re, mi, sol, la?

If you compare 1234567 in the simplified notation with Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu, the differences are 4 and 7.

and so……

Is it okay to just play 12356?
He Chu used the moonlight to press the piano keys.

The sound of the piano echoes like flowing water.

Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu, these five notes are clean and pure, and the moment they are played, they almost completely bury the weird feeling brought by the repeated performance of fa and si.

He Chu kept playing the five sounds repeatedly, seemingly competing with the pale green ghost hand playing the guitar.

But He Chu soon discovered the problem.

No...

Although the ghost hand stopped attacking while he was playing the piano, the guitar continued to play without stopping.

But I can't stop at all, and how can I open the door if I don't stop?
How to escape?
Fundamentally speaking, playing the piano and producing the other five sounds only stops the ghost from continuing to commit crimes, but does not end the ghost's performance and put an end to this death game.

He Chu realized this.

But he didn't dare stop for a while.

He discovered that as long as he kept playing the piano, the guitar sound would not stop, and that the guitar was being played by a ghost.

In other words, even if Zhang Xingzhi was captured by the ghost, as long as he kept playing the piano, the ghost should not be able to take other actions for the time being, such as killing Zhang Xingzhi.

He Chu took a deep breath while playing the piano. Regardless of whether his guess was right or not, he had to continue playing for the time being.

What if?
What if this helps Zhang Xingzhi at his current state?
He had no chance to gamble, as Zhang Xingzhi only had one life.

And at least I can use the time I spend playing the piano to safely think about solutions.

This definitely isn't the solution... Covering up the noise with sound won't work, but if we want to fundamentally solve this problem...

Ok?
and many more……

He Chu suddenly thought of the situation when he and Zhang Xingzhi went out to investigate before coming to this school to verify the prologue.

I went to Zeng Wei's home tonight.

Zeng Wei is the music teacher of this school.

So this classroom, strictly speaking, is Zeng Wei's classroom.

Zhang Xingzhi noticed that Zeng Wei's eyes were not right when he mentioned Luo Huiwen, and he suspected that there was an improper teacher-student relationship between the two.

However, in Zeng Wei's eyes, Luo Huiwen is his girlfriend and lover.

But what does Luo Huiwen think?
During the previous game of hide-and-seek, the ghost muttered a few words to himself after everyone won.

The general meaning is that she once hid with someone, but was pushed out by that person.

The way to pass the game, just as Li Daosheng guessed, is for one person to expose himself and be discovered by the ghost.

What kind of situation made Luo Huiwen still remember the experience of being "pushed out" even after he died and became a ghost?

Teaching building... playing hide and seek, hiding together, being pushed out...

Could it be that at some point in the past, Luo Huiwen and her friends hid somewhere in the teaching building because of something and were then discovered?
He Chu's thinking became more and more active. He was almost certain that if it was really as he thought, then the person who discovered Luo Huiwen was most likely Zeng Wei, the music teacher.

Was it not Zeng Wei who attracted Luo Huiwen, but that he had some leverage over Luo Huiwen and her friends and was blackmailing her?
That's why she couldn't rest in peace even after her death...

If we follow this line of thought, then Zeng Wei's suggestion of teaching Luo Huiwen to play guitar might not have been voluntary.

and many more!

If every game a ghost plays is related to its experiences in its previous life.

He was playing guitar while reaching out to grab people...

If it corresponds to the real experience...

He Chu's expression became increasingly ugly.

It is very likely that Zeng Wei took the opportunity to touch Luo Huiwen when she was teaching her to play the guitar, or more precisely, when Luo Huiwen was holding the guitar and playing it.

So in Luo Huiwen's view, this music classroom is a locked cage that cannot be escaped, and Zeng Wei's hand is a disgusting ghost hand that cannot be avoided.

He Chu's eyes suddenly lit up!
pass……

Everything works!

Just change your mindset, Luo Huiwen is not Zeng Wei's girlfriend, she was forced, compelled, harassed and controlled!
If this is the case, then the way to clear this game must be...

He Chu slammed his hand on the piano, making a loud noise.

Then he quickly stood up, rushed to the back of the classroom, picked up a chair, and smashed it hard at the ghost hand that was playing the guitar!
When dealing with harassment, of course we must confront it directly and stop it at the source!

Before they changed their thinking, neither he nor Zhang Xingzhi dared to approach the ghost hands at the back of the classroom. After all, it looked so scary and hideous.

But once he realized that this game was probably a projection of the ghost's previous life, He Chu's fear faded a lot.

Instead, there is anger.

Some are directed at Zeng Wei, and some are directed at Luo Huiwen.

Why don't you dare to resist directly?!

With a "bang" sound.

The chair crashed down on the guitar, and the ghost hand shrunk back into the wall.

With a "thump", Zhang Xingzhi, whose face was pale and seemed to be suffocating, suddenly fell from the ceiling.

A ghostly right arm emitting black energy also lay quietly on the classroom floor.
