Chapter 106 Sound

‘How can I not hear the unpleasant piano music?’

‘Could it be, I’m deaf?’

Bai Yan felt inconceivable. He could hear Lin Miaomiao’s words, so naturally, his ears weren’t the problem.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Lin Miaomiao. Lin Miaomiao’s apple-like face was wrinkled, seeming like a dried-out and creased fruit.

Seeing her suffering face and how unwell she looked while covering up her ears, she didn’t appear to be lying.

Then, the piano music was without a doubt real.

But, why was Lin Miaomiao able to hear it and he couldn’t?

Regardless of how tightly she covered her ears, Lin Miaomiao’s facial expression became more and more painful, leading Bai Yan to closely look at the piano ‘man.’

Under this feeling, he had difficulty breathing. Moreover, he had a premonition that if he took another step forward, he would certainly encounter a truly frightening matter!

This feeling was the very same as the one he felt when meeting the insurance agent ghost.

Similarly, an ineffable will to live prevented him, stopping him from taking another step.

“…Strange, what did I forget?”

Bai Yan shook his head, throwing this indescribable pounding at the back of his head.

But, he was still under the effects. Driven by the influence of this feeling, he silently retreated back to Lin Miaomiao’s side, maintaining a safe distance from the piano ghost.

The piano ghost was still playing the piano, and slowly, its frequency of hitting the piano keys wasn’t that high, as though it had already finished the song’s high. And, the song’s tide began to ease.

Although Bai Yan couldn’t hear the tune, he still knew that the piano ghost was not just pressing the piano keys willy-nilly. Looking at Lin Miaomiao, it was clear that her complexion had improved, but the situation, though, didn’t seem to be like this.

“…”

Lin Miaomiao’s brows eased up and could be seen with the naked eye. The creases on her small round face were like a sponge full of water, restoring the apple-like face’s glossy and smooth texture.

Lin Miaomiao released the hands over her ears, her body starting to slowly and lightly sway along to the melody from the piano ghost’s performance.

Despite Bai Yan being unable to hear it, he knew that something fishy was happening here.

“Lin Miaomiao, don’t you think that the piano music is unpleasant?”

Lin Miaomiao’s small mouth frowned, staring at Bai Yan with extreme discontentment, fuming as she said, “You’re such a bother, don’t disturb me while I’m listening to music!”

Throwing out this last sentence, Lin Miaomiao turned her head with a stern face and didn’t look at him.

No matter what Bai Yan said, Lin Miaomiao didn’t pay attention to him, completely throwing herself into the piano ghost’s music.

Lin Miaomiao was full of love for this inaudible song. Her expression started off as liking it, then turning into enjoyment…

Slowly but surely, she became obsessed, becoming completely intoxicated, forgetting everything about her surroundings…

Finally, she showed an expression that should never appear on a child’s face——

Her youthful face was full of reckless madness, a desire was written in her eyes that shouldn’t arise from her age, gazing into the distance.

Lin Miaomiao’s eyes became extremely turbid, leading the emotions in her eyes to not match her immature countenance.

Suddenly, the piano ghost stopped playing.

Lin Miaomiao was the same as a robot, also halting her sways to the song.

She suddenly stopped moving, her eyes devoid of light as if she had lost her soul.

But before long, Lin Miaomiao’s consciousness gradually restored. She turned her head, showing the back of her head to Bai Yan, and with him behind her, she let out a giggle. And, as lively as a child, she quickly skipped over to the piano bench, itching to sit beside the piano ghost.

After two seconds of silence, Lin Miaomiao’s little young hands pressed the piano keys along with the ghost, beginning to slowly play. Her small body also swayed left and right, immediately becoming crooked just like the piano ghost, wringing in devious angles. He couldn’t properly see her face from that angle…

“She seems to like playing the piano.”

Although he still couldn’t hear the music Lin Miaomiao was talking about, Bai Yan might as well appreciate the movements of the two ‘people’ throwing themselves into the melody.

Including Lin Miaomiao’s apple-like face, he felt that the originally rosy face turned pale was full of beauty.

Soon, the pale color faded away from the side of Lin Miaomiao’s face.

The small area of skin she exposed began to slowly shed, producing colors similar to a black and white photo, making the pale color transform into a strange ash gray tone.

Like gray shadows, the two ‘people’ were like a scene from a silent movie, trembling as they played… No need for sound nor color. This scene was enough to let a chill run down the spine of anyone who saw it.

The small and the adult-sized hands were simultaneously placed on the piano. Adding onto the contrast of the ashen tone, Bai Yan was a bit enchanted from watching them.

Unfortunately, he didn’t appreciate the scene for long when a weird melody startled him.

Hearing the sound permeating his ear, he couldn’t help but blurt out, “What unpleasant piano music!”

Right after saying this, Bai Yan distractedly stood in place, thinking about what Lin Miaomiao had just said earlier.

At first, Lin Miaomiao also felt that the piano music was bad, and then, she soon didn’t have an after…

Thinking until here, Bai Yan immediately raised his head to look at the instrument.

The four hands on the piano were constantly in rhythm, producing a kind of ear-splitting noise that could make a person’s head hurt so much that he would want to crack it open.

As Bai Yan listened, he also couldn’t help but cover his ears, his face showing the same painful expression Lin Miaomiao had on earlier.

Bai Yan knew that he couldn’t continue going down this road.

If he continued to listen, he’d surely end up like Lin Miaomiao, and when that time came, the people sitting on the piano bench playing songs would turn into three ‘people.’

Two ‘people’ on the piano bench were crowded enough, he didn’t want this!

Anticipating that he would die here and become an addition to the two ‘people’ on the piano bench, he’d end up living a life of being squeezed and squeezing others, causing Bai Yan’s face to be full of refusal.

He felt that this way of dying was far too embarrassing, so he abandoned the thought of dying here, forcing himself to endure physical discomfort as he trotted to the iron door. He scratched it with his fingertips, deliberately making a ‘shala’ sound that made people’s ears prickle.

At the same time, he used his other hand to incessantly pound on the door, pounding it as he screamed, “Teacher Ning, open the door! Lin Miaomiao and I know what we’ve done wrong!”

No one knew whether it was from Bai Yan’s persistent noise, or the unbearable sound of him scratching the door.

Before Bai Yan felt that the piano music became ‘pleasant to the ear,’ Ning Xiuli finally walked towards the utility closet with large strides, swinging the door open and preparing to give the disobedient dead children a bit of color.

Ning Xiuli opened the door, maliciously saying to Bai Yan, who was standing by the door, “What ghosts have gotten a hold of you two, do you want to be slapped until you can’t speak?”

For fear that Ning Xiuli would once again send him to the utility closet, Bai Yan quickly bore his way out, saying with righteous indignation, “Teacher Ning, I want to expose a person! Lin Miaomiao is secretly playing the piano inside. She interrupted the other kids in their nap, she isn’t a good kid!! Teacher, won’t you go in and teach her a lesson? She really is too hateful!”
