escape the nightmare

"If you feel uncomfortable, leave it to me this time."

Jiang Zhang's voice was very gentle, somehow Lin Feng felt that his brain, which had just been disturbed by the bell, seemed to become clear.

It was the first time for him to see Jiang Zhang so closely.Jiangzhang's appearance is actually very aggressive.His outline is very tough, and his facial features are distinct, especially those sword eyebrows, which make his whole face more three-dimensional and handsome.But Jiang Zhang, who had such a face, actually gave Lin Feng the gentleness of a gentleman.Lin Feng had to admit that Jiang Zhang's previous statement "relying on appearance to be an anchor" was not necessarily a joke, he did have such capital.

"Don't believe me?" Seeing that Lin Feng didn't answer, Jiang Zhang took a small step back and raised his eyebrows at him.

Because Jiang Zhang distanced himself from him, and the cold air passed between them, Lin Feng shivered, and then he came back to his senses.

Jiang Zhang's proposal was actually very tempting to him.Who doesn't want to sit back and enjoy the benefits?Besides, now that I will indeed be affected by the sound of the bell, it is actually reasonable to throw this burden on Jiangzhang.As long as he agrees, at least he can relax this round.

But Lin Feng finally shook his head.

Although he was not willing to admit it, Jiangzhang had saved him three times.And every time it was a life for a life, Jiang Zhang could completely ignore him and escape alone. Lin Feng believed that with Jiang Zhang's strength, even without his own existence, he could pass the level smoothly.

But Jiangzhang didn't do this every time.

So how could he let Jiangzhang take the risk alone now?Lin Feng looked towards the top floor of Baiyin Pagoda, and if nothing else happened, that was the source of the sound.He roughly guessed Jiangzhang's next plan, but no one knew what the situation on the top floor was like, and what would happen to him.After all, judging from the experience of the previous two times, generally this kind of place where important clues are hidden, even if there are no ghosts, there is absolutely nothing good to come across.

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze, and looked at Jiang Zhang's left hand that was still bleeding.The wound probably opened when he was forced to run just now, and the entire red belt was completely soaked in blood.

He can't be so selfish.

But Jiang Zhang seemed to be really worried about Lin Feng's physical condition. He repeatedly confirmed with Lin Feng whether he really wanted to follow him, and repeatedly assured that he could really handle it, so that Lin Feng could rest assured and not have to be brave.

But in the end, he still couldn't win Lin Feng.Jiang Zhang had no choice but to sigh softly, let Lin Feng follow behind him, and told him that if there was anything wrong or uncomfortable, he would tell him in time.

Lin Feng stretched out four fingers to swear.

Because of the faint light coming in from the top of the tower, Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang could still see the road clearly.For the convenience of movement, Lin Feng unfolded the Yingyan costume in his arms and draped it over his shoulders, tied the sleeves on both sides and put it around his neck.

The two of them stepped up the stairs one after the other.It seemed that the wooden stairs hadn't been subjected to such a weight for a long time, and when Jiang Zhang just stepped on it, it made a cracking sound similar to wood.

Both of them took a breath.

Fortunately, there was no change. After waiting for a while, Jiang Zhang raised his foot again and stepped onto the second step.

Although there is a faint light shining in from the roof, the light in the corridor is still very dim.Each floor of the wooden stairs seems to be connected together, if you don't pay attention, you will step on the air, and some handrails will even break with a light touch, and fall from a height to the ground.

Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang walked carefully step by step on the stairs, trying to minimize the noise they made.They followed the dim light and could barely see the road clearly.The two didn't dare to walk too fast, firstly because the road conditions were not allowed, and secondly, in case they encountered some emergencies on the way and were too late to turn around and run away.

Holding on to the handrail with one hand, they led each other with the other, and climbed up level after level.The staircase in the center actually has branches on every floor, but Jiang Zhang and Lin Feng didn't pay attention to it. Due to time constraints, they could only choose to go directly to the top floor.

It seemed that they were overthinking. There was no emergency along the way, and even the sound of bells and drums did not ring.They made it to the top floor relatively smoothly.

Just when Lin Feng had put both feet on the floor of the top floor and was about to ask about his next plan, Jiang Zhang suddenly turned around, put his index finger on his lips, and made a gesture of silence.Lin Feng immediately shut up without making a sound.

Not long after Jiang Zhang and Lin Feng reached the top floor, the bell in the building rang again.Jiang Zhang immediately pulled Lin Feng to hide behind a row of chime-like musical instruments.

Only then did Lin Feng realize that the top floor, which doesn't look very big from the outside of the tower, actually occupies a very large area.What makes Lin Feng most spectacular is that the top of the tower is covered with all kinds of bells and drums, just the opposite of the costumes in Yingyan Palace. Every bell and drum here is completely different, no matter in shape or material. It's all very different.

Lin Feng carefully observed every chime, but he didn't find anything of value.The sound of bells and drums in his ears gradually became louder, and Lin Feng's head throbbed again.He frowned, but the temperature of Jiang Zhang's palm came from his ears again.Jiang Zhang squatted beside him, reaching out to help him cover his ears very naturally.

Lin Feng slightly turned his head and glanced at Jiang Zhang, Jiang Zhang didn't seem to notice Lin Feng's strangeness, and smiled at him.

Lin Feng looked at Jiang Zhang's smile, the residual warmth from Jiang Zhang helping him cover his ears last time seemed to have not faded away.In the end, Lin Feng pointed to Jiang Zhang's hand covering his ear, signaling him that it's okay, and he can cover it by himself.

Jiang Zhang understood what he meant, and immediately let go.

When the bell rang, Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang saw a group of ghosts wearing the same clothes appeared on the top floor. They all held a small bell hammer and wore dark blue robes.Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang didn't know where these ghosts came from, but it seemed that they had undergone long-term training, and each ghost quickly found its place.They stood before the bell and rang the bell before them.

Lin Feng thought that each of them was only in charge of the bell in front of him. Unexpectedly, after the first bell rang, all the ghosts moved again. They were like a pool of flowing water, constantly flowing, beating very regularly To every bell and drum, the ghost on the right arm even waved his arms in a graceful gesture.Lin Feng felt that they seemed to be playing music while dancing, which reminded him of the song and dance at the feast described in the previous book.If it weren't for these ghosts missing arms and legs, Lin Feng felt that this performance would be very fascinating.

Of course, Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang didn't have the bad taste of watching a group of ghosts dancing. Jiang Zhang simply told Lin Feng his speculation because he couldn't do anything now.

Based on Yingyan's reaction just now, it can be inferred that there must be something unusual in this tower - for example, a certain part of Yingyan's costume is hidden in the tower.Although Jiang Zhang said that he has not guessed what it is, but he is sure that this thing must be hidden among the bells and drums on the top floor.

And he found that these ghosts are not beating the bells and drums indiscriminately, as long as you listen carefully to the sound of the bells and drums, you will find that they are actually playing a piece of music.

And the tune of this piece coincides with the rhythm of the singing voice of the evil spirit Yingyan.

If he guessed right, what they played was the song sung by Yingyan.It's just that he couldn't hear what the tune was about, so for a while, he didn't think about the connection between the tune and what they were looking for.

Lin Feng listened to Jiang Zhang talking quickly in his ear, and he frowned tightly.Jiang Zhang's voice was intermittent, and he could only guess based on the movements of Jiang Zhang's lips.Although he covered his ears, the sound of the bell still had a certain impact on him, and Lin Feng felt his head ache again.

Seeing that Lin Feng's face was not looking well, Jiang Zhang gave him a concerned look.Enduring the dizziness, Lin Feng nodded towards Jiang Zhang to indicate that he was fine.He didn't want to hold Jiang Zhang back at this time.

Only then did Jiang Zhang turn around, and crawled slowly on the edge of the bell and drum, carefully checking every corner around him.Lin Feng covered his ears and followed behind him.Since most of the bells and drums are placed against the wall, there is not much space for them to walk, and it is inevitable that they will bump into something occasionally.Fortunately, those ghosts were quite dedicated, playing their tunes intently, and did not notice the movement around them.

Because Lin Feng covered his ears, his actions were not as agile as Jiang Zhang's.He saw that Jiang Zhang who was walking in front seemed to have noticed something, so he stopped and squatted down.He speeded up to follow, and saw some yellowed and mutilated papers scattered in front of Jiangzhang.Jiang Zhang picked up one of them and held it in his hand.

Lin Feng moved to Jiang Zhang's side, poked his head over and looked at the contents of the paper with him.

These papers look very old, and some of them even look like they have been soaked in rainwater, and they have been rotten and crumpled into one piece.There are some traditional characters densely written on the paper, and some incomprehensible symbols seem to be marked beside the words.Lin Feng seldom touched traditional characters. He looked at them for a long time, but he didn't recognize any of them, so he had to put his hope on Jiang Zhang.

Lin Feng saw that Jiang Zhang was staring at the symbols and words on the paper intently, and would squint his eyes from time to time.Jiang Zhang picked up the remaining papers and put them together in each hand, as if comparing what was written on the papers.

Lin Feng suddenly felt that there was great hope. Sure enough, this person is still very useful at critical times.

Living up to Lin Feng's expectations, Jiang Zhang raised his head to look at him after flipping through a few pieces of paper, and shook the paper in his hand.

Jiang Zhang: "If there is no accident, these should be the score of the song they played."

After being told by Jiang Zhang, Lin Feng looked at it seriously again.Indeed, those oddly shaped symbols are marked very neatly behind the text, and it does look very similar to modern sheet music.

Lin Feng nodded, and continued to wait for Jiang Zhang to analyze further.

Jiang Zhang: "The words next to this should be what Yingyan sang."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement.

Jiang Zhang: "But I don't understand."

Lin Feng: "..." He heard a heartbreaking sound coming from his chest.

Lin Feng said that he really wanted to withdraw all the praise he had just expressed to Jiang Zhang in his heart with one click.But Jiangzhang found something, at least better than himself, he could still see that this was the music score of Yingyan Opera.

Although they didn't know what the ghost symbols on it meant, their experience in the game made them agree that these pieces of paper were definitely the key.Even though they didn't see anything, the two of them still stared wide-eyed and looked at each row and column carefully again, hoping to find some clues from them.
