Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

Chen Shi had just dodged the sound spirit's attack when he was stunned by what he heard.

The music played on that piano sounded like a child banging on a piano, it was awful. How did Su Yining manage to tell?

"Speaking of which, when I first joined the choir, my senior mentioned that she always played the same dance piece on the piano..."

While pondering, Luo Xiaoyu nodded.

She could also tell that the piano was playing the same piece the whole time.

"Wait, you two are both music students? You were able to recognize that strange, distorted sound?"

Suddenly, the Sound Spirit erupted again, swinging its giant hammer-like hand horizontally!

Suddenly, a strong wind rose up, and Su Yining was almost blown away, but Chen Shi managed to stand firmly.

"We must...we must find the rules."

Luo Xiaoyu was petite; though blown away, she landed steadily on the back of the chair, standing on one leg.

"Otherwise, we can't analyze the cause of death..."

Chen Shi naturally understood this, but now the evil spirit was acting like it had gone mad, making it impossible to analyze.

Imagine you're doing math olympiad problems, but someone drags you into playing live-action CS. Can you hold a gun and do the problems at the same time?

As he dodged, he turned his head and saw Hu Lizhang, who was still clinging to life.

By the way, if it's the cause of death...

Chen Shi had an idea and shouted to Luo Xiaoyu:

"Luo Xiaoyu, give me some time."

"Well?"

Luo Xiaoyu tilted her head slightly, hesitated briefly, and then nodded.

Without any hesitation, she leaped up, her delicate body like a leaf falling in the wind, landing on the spirit, nimbly running on its arm, her toes barely touching the water.

The sound spirit was drawn to the sound and immediately began to twist its body, splashing black mud everywhere, trying to grab Luo Xiaoyu.

Chen Shi then took the opportunity to come to Su Yining's side.

"No, that evil spirit is too disruptive. We can't find the rules." Su Yining was still controlling Hu Lizhang.

"It's okay, no need for rules."

Chen Shi took out a tuning fork and looked at Hu Lizhang:

"Since we're analyzing the cause of death, we should just ask the person who committed the murder."

Chen Shi's mind works very quickly.

While she was in the hospital, Wenjie had already proven that the Prosperous Flower Society would actively kill people and use fragments of Su Yining's body to create a malevolent spirit.

The Blooming Flowers Society isn't stupid; they'll definitely find a way to restrain the evil spirits. The hospital relies on Wenjie's suppressive eyes, while the school relies on the two evil spirits suppressing each other.

In that case, the birth of this Sound Spirit must be inextricably linked to the Blooming Flowers Society.

"Aren't you going to analyze the spirit cage? If you don't analyze the cause of death soon, it'll be your turn to die." Hu Lizhang's face was bruised and swollen, and he looked mocking.

"There's no need to analyze the cause of death. I can just ask directly. The fact that it could appear precisely at the school and happen to be in check with the Mirror Spirit means that this evil spirit was your doing again, right?" Chen Shi said coldly.

"So what if I am? You don't think I'd be stupid enough to tell you how she died, do you?"

Hu Lizhang smiled, but when he looked up, he saw that Chen Shi's smile was even more sinister.

Gradually, Hu Lizhang stopped laughing, while Chen Shi laughed even harder.

"What if?"

Chen Shi took out a tuning fork and waved it at Hu Lizhang:

"Om-"

Chapter 81 Falling Objects from High Altitudes

Chen Shi really didn't want to overuse the tuning fork, since the side effects would be detrimental to his mind.

Tuning forks can only be used one-to-one, have side effects, and have limited range, so they cannot be used frequently.

But now that Hu Lizhang's doppelganger is under control and unable to break free, it's a perfect fit.

When necessary, we must not back down.

The moment the tuning fork swayed, Hu Lizhang's facial features twitched, and his face instantly contorted into a ferocious expression.

"Answer me, did you kill Yinling before she was born?" Chen Shi asked.

"Uh……"

Hu Lizhang turned his head, his eyes rolled back, and he looked quite pained.

His inspiration was stronger than Wenjie's, and his resistance was also stronger.

"answer me!"

Chen Shi let out a low growl and shook the tuning fork again:

"Om-"

The tuning fork swayed, and his vision blurred for a moment, as if the buzzing sound was invading his brain.

"Chen Shi, are you alright?"

Su Yining asked worriedly, while glancing back at the center of the ballroom.

Luo Xiaoyu was dodging nimbly, her movements like a gymnast dancing, pulling at Yin Ling's hatred.

"It's nothing." Chen Shi was momentarily dazed.

The bandage on my forearm had a shimmering glow, and I gradually regained consciousness.

This irreversible side effect is extremely harmful.

He gritted his teeth and glared at Hu Lizhang: "Speak!"

Hu Lizhang convulsed for a moment, then finally spoke:

"Yes, we killed Yinling before she was born."

Sure enough, these pests.

Chen Shi suppressed his anger and continued to ask:

"How did you kill people and create sound spirits?"

Hu Lizhang frowned, his features contorted, and he began to frantically bang his head against the ground, as if trying to expel the things inside his brain.

After struggling for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:

“Yinling was a dance student before she died. We staged an accident during her rehearsal, causing a speaker to fall and kill her.”

Beside her, Su Yining took a deep breath, her fists clenched and trembling slightly.

She desperately wanted to tear Hu Lizhang to pieces, but she restrained her anger, not wanting to cause trouble at this time.

"He was killed by a falling speaker during rehearsal..."

Chen Shi gritted his teeth, looked back at the spirit cage, and immediately understood why Yin Ling's spirit cage was shaped like a dance hall.

and……

He looked up and saw a huge black speaker suspended in mid-air, its four corners secured by thin steel cables.

"No wonder there was a sound system out of the blue."

Suddenly, Hu Lizhang's face contorted, his rolled-back eyes straightened, and his gaze began to focus.

After only two questions, Hu Lizhang was almost back to consciousness; this guy has a strong resistance to mental intrusion.

"Ah……"

Hu Lizhang slowly regained his senses, his face once again revealing a fierce expression:

"It's no use. You don't really think you can exorcise a spirit so easily, do you?"

"It's a pity that you've already told me the cause of death yourself."

As soon as Chen Shi finished speaking, Hu Lizhang burst into laughter:

"The danger level of the Sound Spirit is not low."

He had a look of schadenfreude on his face: "I'd like to see how you manage to recreate the death of the Sound Spirit."

"Senior, keep an eye on him."

Chen Shi was too lazy to waste words.

"Okay, you can remove the spirit without worry." Su Yining spun around and kicked Hu Lizhang, silencing him.

"Luo Xiaoyu!" Chen Shi rushed forward.

Luo Xiaoyu was still leaping and dodging between the seats. In front of Yin Ling, she was as small as a wild seedling that could be blown down by the wind, but she had persevered until now, with a layer of fine sweat on her forehead.

"Hmm?" Luo Xiaoyu rolled over to dodge.

On stage, the piano continued to play automatically.

The tune was chaotic, with sharp high notes like fingernails scraping glass and muddy, heavy low notes echoing. Every key change felt like it was tugging at the heart.

The melody was not pleasant to listen to; instead, it carried a chilling aura that made the entire dance hall feel cold.

Chen Shi pointed to the speakers high in the dance hall and shouted:

"Lure the spirit under the speaker and smash it to death with the speaker."

"Ok?"

Luo Xiaoyu looked at the speaker, then at the sound spirit, and then nodded.

She leaped to Hu Lizhang's corpse, retrieved the silver chain, but the red-tasseled spear still pierced his face, to prevent the guy's doppelganger from having a final burst of energy.

Seeing that Luo Xiaoyu was ready, Chen Shi swung out the rope and wrapped it around Yinling's arm to attract her attention.

However, before the rope could be suppressed, the black mud surged from the spirit's arm, and the rope passed right through it, leaving nothing.

"Damn... whatever, at least I've got my attention."

He ran to the speaker, and sure enough, the sound spirit followed him.

His massive body was like a giant wall; with every step he took, the ballroom would tremble.

"Closer."

Chen Shi took a deep breath and deliberately slowed down so that the sound spirit could get closer...

step.

One more step.

Until the sound spirit is completely below the speaker.

"Now!"

Chen Shi threw the rope upwards. As the first magical artifact, he was extremely skilled at it and accurately wrapped it around the speaker. Then, with a pull, he lifted himself into the air and leaped onto the speaker.

Luo Xiaoyu followed closely behind, using the same method to wrap the bar with a silver chain and pull herself onto the speaker, standing back to back with Chen Shi.

The two moved in perfect unison, prompting onlookers to exclaim, "If they weren't from the same school, then their teamwork must be exceptional."

"Let's do it."

As soon as Chen finished speaking, he swung out a rope with his left hand, which wrapped around a steel cable, and grabbed another one with his right hand.

Luo Xiaoyu then controlled the silver chain, causing it to entangle the other two steel ropes.
