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

"Strength!"

"Well--!"

Chen Shi exerted his strength, and the ropes and bandages simultaneously emitted a dark light. With the help of the magical artifact, he forcefully snapped the steel rope.

At the same time, Luo Xiaoyu's face turned red, her thighs trembled as she exerted skillful force, tightening the silver chain and snapping the other two ropes.

The speaker suddenly fell!

Chen Shi didn't have time to leave and could only stand on top of the speaker.

It felt like riding a drop tower, but now is definitely not a good time to reminisce about amusement parks.

As they fell, Luo Xiaoyu reacted quickly, using a silver chain to bind him and herself together, while simultaneously securing the speaker to maintain their balance.

Skin to skin, a wave of intense heat washed over them.

As expected of a young person, they're really hot right now.

The speaker fell and hit the Spirit directly on the head.

The black keys of the piano fell heavily, like the mournful cry of a sonic spirit:

"Thump—!"

The black mud exploded, and the speaker fell vertically, passing straight through the top of the spirit's head before crashing heavily to the ground.

Dust rose, swirling the black mud in all directions. The Sound Spirit was like a skeletonless lump of mud, its massive form instantly turning into dust scattered all over the ground.

"cough……"

Chen Shi's legs felt numb, but thankfully he had the help of inspiration and the magical artifact, otherwise he felt like his legs were about to break.

"Hmm~"

Beside her, Luo Xiaoyu also pursed her lips, her thighs numb and bent inward, standing unsteadily on the speaker.

Silver chains bound them together; the girl's body was hot and carried a faint fragrance.

Chen Shi looked down and could just see the top of Luo Xiaoyu's head and her bun. Because of the height difference, it looked like the girl was burying her face in his chest.

"Thank you," Chen Shi said.

"Hey!"

Luo Xiaoyu finally came to her senses, hurriedly put away the silver chain, jumped off the speaker, and bowed frantically with a series of "woo-woo-uh-uh" sounds, her face as red as a boiling kettle.

Chen Shi couldn't help but laugh out loud and said:

"It's alright, thanks to you, otherwise I probably would have been freefalling from a great height."

Although they seem to be about the same.

"Um..."

Luo Xiaoyu timidly raised her eyes, her heterochromatic pupils suddenly widened, and her aura instantly became sharp!

"what happened?"

Chen Shi had barely spoken when he sensed something was amiss.

The surrounding black mud began to gather again, coalescing once more, and the towering black shadow rose up again, pushing the top of the speaker aside.

"How could this be!" Su Yining exclaimed in surprise.

Hu Lizhang stood to the side, smiling smugly, with an expression that suggested he was enjoying the show.

"It's not that simple after all."

Chen Shi stood up, not too surprised.

The higher the danger level of a malevolent spirit, the greater its need to know "where it came from and where it is going".

Just like the sorrowful spirit, while making her grieve, you must also set the surroundings on fire and clap hands to recreate the environment at the time of her death. The mirror spirit must also place her on a shattered mirror and show her its original appearance.

The same applies to the Sound Spirit.

In other words, to eradicate the spirit of sound, they must restore the original environment.

They wanted to recreate the dance music that was playing in the ballroom when the spirit died.

"Are you kidding me! Where am I supposed to find a musician for you in this cage?"

Chapter 82 Waltz

"No, that's not enough. We need to recreate the original environment."

Looking at the gradually recovering Yinling in front of him, Chen Shi gritted his teeth:

"We need to replicate the songs that were played in the ballroom when it was rehearsed."

"song?"

Not far away, Su Yining pondered for a moment and speculated:

"Could it be that dance music that's been playing on repeat?"

"Dance music?" Chen Shi took a few steps back.

The rules and state of the spirit cage all hint at the cause of death of the evil spirit.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the piano piece was hinting at the circumstances surrounding the Spirit's death.

So it seems...

"It seems we'll have to play that dance again."

In a moment of stunned silence, the black mud coalesced again, and the terrifying figure slowly rose up. Although the movement was slow, it was only a matter of time before the Sound Spirit fully recovered.

Beside her, Luo Xiaoyu also realized what was happening, her eyes fixed on the piano:

"Okay... okay, play the dance music, and smash it with the speaker again."

"But the question is, how do we play it again?"

Chen Shi was helpless:

"We can't just go up there and start playing randomly, can we?"

If I had known, I would have really let Jiang Liu teach him some piano techniques. She runs a music store, so she must have some real skills. Unfortunately, I was busy with special training online and never thought about this.

Luo Xiaoyu pursed her lips and whispered:

"I...I should be able to..."

"You can play the piano?" Chen Shi was delighted.

Luo Xiaoyu shook her head.

Chen Shi: "???"

"But... I paid attention to where the keys fell... and the piano kept playing, so I could remember the order of the keys and the corresponding notes."

In this urgent situation, Luo Xiaoyu spoke more fluently.

Although you still have to strain your ears to hear it clearly.

"I can't play the piano, but I've memorized how to play it just by watching and listening?"

Is this Chinese?

"Are you sure?" Chen Shi asked, somewhat incredulous.

Is she a genius?

“I…I can try…” Luo Xiaoyu clenched her fists.

Although there are risks, it seems this is the only way.

We can't let Su Yining run out of the Spirit Cage now and find Jiang Liu to play a little tune, can we?

"Go ahead, leave the speakers to me."

Chen Shi nodded.

Luo Xiaoyu made a "hmm" sound and rushed out like the wind, leaping onto the stage in a few steps.

She sat down on the piano bench, her figure slender and graceful.

The moment the fingertips touched the piano keys, the keys that had been vibrating wildly stopped instantly, and the jarring noise abruptly ceased.

"call……"

Luo Xiaoyu took a deep breath; her long, slender, fair fingers had pink tips and looked delicate and fresh.

She began to play, and her control of the dynamics and tempo was just right.

It was no longer the cold, gloomy piano music, but a gentler, more flowing melody.

"Ta-da~"

The music slowly spread, with clear high notes and warm low notes, and the melodies began to intertwine, creating a gentle tune.

"Really?"

Chen Shi smiled, and the piano was transformed under Luo Xiaoyu's hands.

Her delicate fingers moved nimbly up and down, and Luo Xiaoyu's bright eyes kept scanning the piano keys—she wasn't playing by instinct, but by relying on her extraordinary memory and learning ability to forcefully transcribe the sheet music amidst the chaos.

Even so, the music she played was extremely gentle, like a warm current flowing, dispelling the chill in the dance hall.

If the spotlight were on her right now, she would look like a pianist performing in front of hundreds of audience members.

"Looks like a true genius."

Chen Shi sighed, then swung the rope around the ceiling bar and lifted himself up.

Next, he wrapped a rope around the speaker and began to pull it up little by little:

"It's quite heavy."

Chen Shi gritted his teeth, stood firmly, and used the rope to lift the speaker up again.

Luo Xiaoyu glanced at Chen Shi out of the corner of her eye and saw that he had already come up with a solution, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Such quick reflexes and such skill in using magical artifacts... This is nothing like a Level One Ferryman! Both their strength and their ability to adapt to the situation are exceptional..."

Her fingertips touched the ground, and the melody began again.

However, the black mud suddenly stopped, then quickly turned and began to surge toward the stage.

"Wait, is it trying to stop Luo Xiaoyu?" Chen Shi immediately noticed something was wrong.

Looking down, one could see the black mud of the sound spirit overflowing and beginning to wriggle towards Luo Xiaoyu. Patches of pitch-black mud writhed like snakes, gathering again into a human shape in front of the stage.

Luo Xiaoyu focused intently on playing the music, sweat beading on her forehead, and didn't stop even when the sound spirit approached.

"No, we have to find a way to lure the Sound Spirit over here."

Chen Shi's mind raced.

The sound spirit suddenly turned to attack Luo Xiaoyu because Luo Xiaoyu was playing music.

In the previous appearances of the Sound Spirit, it was always through sound.

To the Sound Spirit, everything except that strange dance music was just noise, and it was extremely sensitive to music...

Right, we need to use a louder voice!

"Senior!"

Chen Shi shouted:

"Make some noise! ​​That'll attract the sound spirit!"

"Noise? Where am I supposed to go..."

Su Yining was halfway through her sentence when she turned her head and saw rows of metal instrument tubes by the wall.

She glanced at Hu Lizhang, who was preparing to watch the show, and an idea instantly came to her.

"I'll teach you to cause trouble!"
