Haunted Places Live

A boy named Danny was on duty at the front desk today. He told Manager Chu Yang that he just got off work early today and had already left at seven o'clock in the evening.Chu Yang had no choice but to ask her about resignation tomorrow. When he turned around and saw Lynch sitting on the sofa beside him, bored playing with his mobile phone, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and apologetic.

Although he knew that his inexplicable observation ability suddenly became so sensitive was probably caused by that man inadvertently using some weird method, but he still felt as if he had troubled others for a long time.He is not used to accepting other people's kindness, if others are kind to him, he will always feel a little panic in his heart.So he walked over and said with some hesitation, "The manager has already left. I plan to talk to him tomorrow. Thank you for today."

Lin Qiyang smiled at him, "Oh, that's fine."

Chu Yang didn't know what to say, so he was silent for a moment in embarrassment and said, "You helped me today, I don't know how to thank you."

"It's not easy to thank me, buy me a drink." Lynch put the phone in his pocket, obviously the live broadcast had ended, and stood up calmly.

Chu Yang let out a cry, and looked at the time. It was only nine o'clock in the evening, and the bar was busy, especially on weekends when there were bands singing.Although he has been working here for almost a year, he doesn't go in many times. The main reason is that the wine is too expensive, so it's better to drive to the hotel in the small town to buy it.

But since the other party asked, he couldn't refuse.

The lights in the bar were dimmed just right, and tables of well-dressed men and women spoke softly, or talked and laughed loudly in the blurred light and shadow.The waiters in black tight skirts shuttled back and forth among the tables and chairs with colorful cocktails, and there was a band performing at the front where the lights gathered.Wearing a dark red retro mermaid dress, the female lead singer groaned in a low voice, her hoarse and intoxicated lazy voice was as elegant as a cat.Accompanied by a piano, a cello, and a saxophone, the strange combination of classical and pop styles seems to have a bit of jazz flavor, an unexpectedly good band.

Chu Yang led Lynch to sit at the bar, and the handsome bartender smiled charmingly at them, "What would you like to drink?"

"A bottle of Corona."

"Please, we're close to death today, so you just order a bottle of beer?" Lynch waved his fingers at him, then smiled at the bartender, "Two glasses of cranberry vodka. Doubleshot."

"Hey!" Chu Yang said dissatisfied, "I have to work tomorrow!"

"That's why I added cranberry juice for you." Lynch once again showed his trademark innocent expression, making his teeth itch.

The wine was served quickly, the color was crimson, and it was filled with a charming streamer in the refraction of the lights.Although Chu Yang was still refusing just now, he also drank a few big mouthfuls boldly, feeling a heat in his stomach slowly steaming up.He sighed comfortably, and only then felt his body, which had been tense all the time, relax a little.

He always had a tense expression on weekdays, but now under the infiltration of vodka, a tinge of red gradually appeared on his cheeks, and the somewhat boring and introverted feeling also melted a lot.After a glass, the two each ordered a glass of vodka with no juice but ice cubes, and then each continued a glass of martini.At this time, Lynch's eyes were also blurred, and his originally fair skin was even slightly rosy. If he was usually handsome and elegant like a prince, at this time he was simply a temptation to commit crimes.

And Chu Yang also became more cheerful, his cheeks were flushed, but his eyes became brighter, he talked more, and even took the initiative to tell jokes.The two chatted unexpectedly in sync, and laughed up and down at the bar.

During the period, several beauties and two handsome men tried to strike up a conversation with Lin Qi, but Lin Qi put his arms around Chu Yang and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I already have a companion." But Chu Yang didn't feel that There is something wrong.

I don't know how long the chat took, the female lead singer and her band members who had sung several songs in a row on the stage had already taken a break at halftime.At this moment, Lynch tilted his head with his hands and looked at Chu Yang and asked, "You just said that you used to study computer at UBC? Then why did you come to such a remote place to be a room attendant?"

Chu Yang squinted at him, and said drunkenly, "What's wrong with the room attendant? You look down on us?"

"Of course it doesn't mean that, but it's easy for a computer graduate from a prestigious school like UBC to find a high-paying job?"

Chu Yang was silent for a while, then raised his head to drink up the rest of the wine in the quilt, and set the glass a little harder, "First of all, I didn't graduate, I dropped out of school halfway. And computers are not my favorite, but It was my grandfather who wanted me to read it."

"If so what do you like?"

"I like it..." Chu Yang raised his head and looked at the instruments on the stage that were put in place.Probably because he really drank a little too much, he stood up a little unsteadily, his eyes seemed to be in a trance, and he staggered towards the stage.

Lin Qi stood up and watched Chu Yang walk to the stage amidst the surprised expressions of some guests, and reached out to pick up the cello that was placed on the shelf.Before anyone came to stop him, he had already leaned the cello in his arms, pressed the fingertips of his left hand on the strings, picked up the bow with his right hand, raised a beautiful arc in the air, and then gently landed on the strings.

In the next second, incredible music flowed from the strings and resonated in the piano box, like a gentle fragrance, faintly smudged in the originally noisy bar.The introversion and deepness of the cello perfectly set off the deep loneliness and sadness in the song, just like a lonely humpback whale in the sea of ​​moons where no one can understand his singing, wandering around in a daze but getting no response.

For a moment, everyone stopped talking and looked at the man playing the piano quietly on the stage.Chu Yang at this moment is so different from before. His eyes are slightly closed, his body sways slightly with the ups and downs of the music, and the slightly drunken light casts a layer of confusion on his originally slightly rigid face. He seems to have become a piece of music. It seems that no matter what happens around him, no matter how many eyes he has, it has nothing to do with him.It was not any song that Lynch had ever heard, but it had a frightening appeal. In just one or two minutes, that kind of remote loneliness and despair had already poured into every listener, and all the joy , All happiness seems to suddenly become pale and vulnerable.The silent despair made it difficult to even breathe.

Several women were already sobbing softly, and even many men shed tears silently, and there were a few who seemed to be in a bad situation, showing a somewhat dazed and desperate expression.

Lynch had heard of a song called Black Friday. Because it was so sad, many listeners committed suicide after listening to it. Since then, the song has been locked in a secret place and has never been seen again.Many people said that this was just rumors and hype, but today it sounds like Chu Yang is pulling it off...

Fortunately, Chu Yang only dragged on for 2 minutes before stopping abruptly.He stood up in a panic as if he had suddenly woken up, and put the cello back in a little panic.Originally, the members of the band were all stunned off the stage, and no one blamed him for moving their instruments without authorization, but Chu Yang apologized in a panic, and rushed off the stage as if fleeing for his life.He was restless, put the money for the drink on the table, didn't even meet Lynch's eyes, just said in a somewhat unsteady voice, "I'll go back first." Without waiting for Lynch to speak, he turned around and walked out quickly bar.

Until he left, the entire bar was still silent, and the deep despair was still pervasive in the dim light.Lynch felt that the music was not quite right, so he hurriedly chased it out.

Chu Yang rushed out of the hotel gate all the way, and ran into the cold snow without even wearing a coat.Apart from the hotel, there are no other lights to be seen in the deep mountains. In the silent night, only the moon in the faint clouds casts dark blue light, reflecting on the frozen white lake.The icy cold wind pierced into his brain paralyzed by alcohol like a steel cone, which made him wake up suddenly, and let the wind blow through his sweater like masochistic.He grabbed his hair with both hands and scolded himself in a low voice, "Asshole! Asshole! Idiot!" He had already sworn to never touch the cello again, but he couldn't help it after only a year? !

"Chu Yang!" Lin Qi rushed out and grabbed him, "Do you want to freeze yourself to death?! Go back!"

Chu Yang shook his hand away suddenly, and seemed to realize that the other party was only doing it for his own good, how innocent, so he whispered, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"What's the matter with you?" Lynch put away his joking expression at this moment, and his tone was also cautious.

"I'm fine, I just drank too much and need to sober up."

"It doesn't take such a violent way to sober up, right?" Lynch himself was already shivering from the cold, and breathed into the palm of his hand, "Come back with me, this is Canada, it is really possible that I will be frozen to death! I don’t want to turn into an ice sculpture tomorrow morning!”

Seeing Lin Qi trembling, Chu Yang's heart softened.He nodded silently and walked back to the hotel first.As soon as Lynch entered the door, he rushed to enjoy the fire by the fireplace in the public lounge area. It seemed that he was quite afraid of the cold, but after a while his lips turned white.But even so, he still wore gloves and refused to take off his warm hands.

Chu Yang felt more and more guilty, and silently stood aside and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back. Good night."

"and many more!"

Chu Yang paused and turned to look at Lin Qi.

"What's the name of the tune you played just now?"

Chu Yang was silent for a while, "No name."

"No name? Did you write it?" Lynch looked at him seriously.

"...I thought it was, but later I realized it wasn't...it found me by itself." Chu Yang murmured speciously, "It's my fault. I shouldn't touch anything related to music."

After finishing speaking, Chu Yang turned and left before Lynch could continue to ask.

Lynch looked at him thoughtfully.

An observer who is at least a third-level observer has never awakened his observation ability, but he can pull out such a strong influence on people's emotions and thinking.And just after awakening his ability, he was targeted by hounds...

Is it really a coincidence?
