Chapter 105: Star Chasing Journey (Twenty-Five)

So more than a dozen of them really stayed aside, becoming the few, or perhaps even the only, audience for the percussion band formed by the elderly people of Yuzhou Village.

When the strange and harsh music sounded, piercing the eardrums like a knife, Liu Sheng noticed something that they had been ignoring.

"Is this the suona you saw last time?" Liu Sheng asked Chen Shanyuan coldly.

Everyone then looked at it intently and were suddenly shocked. A chill rushed from the tailbone to the top of the head, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

I saw that the suonas they were playing were snow-white all over, as if they were made of some kind of bones. No wonder the sound they produced was not as clear as a normal suona.

The two-headed aunt was concentrating on playing the erhu in her hand. The lower end was clearly a shriveled human head, and the neck in her hand looked like a spine.

No one wants to study in detail how the bow is made.

The demented old man was beating the leather drum, and on the stretched drumhead one could vaguely see a small wrinkle and dent.

Could it be, belly button?

The other musical instruments are also made of bones, flesh and skin, which makes people feel creepy.

Perhaps they were affected by the strange spirit and they didn't notice this counterintuitive thing at first.

It seems that these old people not only composed new music and changed the location, but also specially prepared new musical instruments.

However, they did not notice the changes in the expressions of the "audience" at all, and were completely immersed in the performance of the music, with fanaticism in their eyes, as if they wanted to inject all their vitality into it and make the heaven and earth tremble.

Indeed, the heaven and earth suddenly began to tremble.

As the music became more intense and louder, the fog began to swirl more violently, as if everything in front of him was distorted in this strange music.

The stars in the sky seemed to resonate with this absurd performance and began to twinkle erratically.

The old men who were either standing or sitting seemed to be the center of the illusion. Various blurry figures appeared around them, as if there were audiences from some unknown time, cheering, dancing, and praying for them.

Liu Sheng could feel that an invisible portal connecting to other spaces was slowly appearing in the starry sky.

Like, a hole in an apple that was bitten by a bug, and something is seeping into this world.

This scene inexplicably emerged in Liu Sheng's mind.

Everyone, except the villagers who were concentrating on playing, was looking up at the starry sky, waiting.

What's coming?

Liu Sheng was also waiting for the so-called "alien".

"Look at them!" Yu Jinling pointed ahead and couldn't help but scream in a low voice.

Everyone withdrew their gaze from the sky, and saw that these old men were rapidly losing vitality due to the painstaking performance, and their already old and haggard appearance was becoming more and more terrifying.

As the suona sounded, the eyes of the old men playing the suona gradually bulged out, and even dropped out, their cheeks wrinkled, and their mouths sunk deeply into the mouth of the suona.

The auntie who played the erhu played with such force that the instrument body broke.

She yelled with both heads: "It's going to happen, it's going to happen!"

So she actually cut off one of her own heads with a knife, pressed it on the body of the instrument, and the tendons and veins squirmed together to form a new erhu, like a gourd made of two heads. This shouldn't be the true meaning of "erhu", right?
Then, the aunt, with only her head left, continued to pull with a groaning sound, regardless of the blood flowing.

Liu Sheng didn't dare to look any closer. She felt that even her mind was beginning to be filled with all kinds of dark thoughts. There were so many shadows in front of her eyes, and countless black shadows rose and fell in an instant. She could no longer tell what was real and what was an illusion.

Even the small tentacles began to tremble, expressing their fear.

The seven ordinary people behind them were so frightened that their legs and feet became weak and they could hardly stand.

Liu Sheng and Wen Weilan suddenly sensed something, their faces changed, and they said in unison: "Everyone, step back!"

The small tentacles quickly weaved into a net to block everyone.

Between the stars, Liu Sheng felt something squeeze out from the opening of the portal, and then a cold white light suddenly fell from the sky, hitting the ground with a loud "bang".

The place where the white light descended was between the old people. Everyone was terrified, but fortunately they didn't hurt the old people, although they looked abnormal.

They surrounded the white light, hopping around regardless of their old limbs, holding up strange musical instruments, and shouting loudly: "We succeeded, the aliens have arrived!"

Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the white light dissipated and the "alien" revealed its true appearance.

A square black box stood quietly on the ground.

There were a few buttons on it, and a thin silver metal rod in the upper right corner, pointing diagonally into the air.

"Is this an alien?" The old man in the lead was very confused. Although it had no eyeballs, it could still "see".

No matter how you look at it, it's just a dead object.

When Liu Sheng took a look, he recalled something he had seen in Professor Tang’s book.

Is this... a radio?

This didn't seem to be dangerous, and the ghost controllers, who were facing a serious enemy, should have felt a little relieved, but for some reason, their hearts were pounding.

“This is a spooky thing.”

Liu Sheng had just figured it out when the radio-like creature suddenly played a cheap tune. Perhaps because the speaker was a bit old, the tune was uncertain, sometimes as sharp as nails scratching on a board, and sometimes as low as countless hoarse-voiced ghosts chanting.

As I listened, I found the tune familiar.

Isn’t this what those old people just played?

The old people were a little disappointed at first, but when they heard the music, they were ecstatic and started discussing it.

"It's an alien!"

"The aliens love our tune!"

“Hehehe, I like it…I like it…”

"Since you like it, we need more musical instruments..."

"Where are the materials?"

"Hehe, aren't there fifteen sets of materials over there?"

……

After putting away the blood-stained radio monster, Chen Shanyuan sighed.

"Don't think too much. Strange things are irreversible. This is also a kind of relief." Kuang Bowen patted his shoulder.

Everyone was in a bad mood looking at the corpses on the ground.

The old people in the Universe Village who had just been greeting everyone enthusiastically were instantly infected by the strange radio. Their bodies twisted together into strange and bizarre creatures, and they pounced on everyone with a grin.

And not only these old people, but also the two new group members they were protecting were degenerated into monsters because of the discordant music coming from the radio.

Although they responded promptly and slaughtered all the newly generated monsters, it was ultimately a loss.

"We got two strange creatures this time. They should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?" Song Ru said heartlessly, "What's wrong? Aren't you here for money too? Stop pretending."

"Well, you're right, let's go." Chen Shanyuan did not deny it.

To survive in this strange fog, they really need some motivation.

I wonder how many people are still summoning "aliens" in this vast and strange fog.

If they keep going, if everything goes well, they can indeed get more weird things.

But Liu Sheng could tell from Wen Weilan's nervous expression that things would not go so smoothly.
