"what are you doing here?"
Zhou Yu had no sense of trust in the young man in front of him. He asked straight to the point: "What is that thing behind you?"
"Are you inquiring into other people's privacy so rudely?"
"You don't have to say it."
"That's not necessary, and it's not something shady."
Baby Face answered calmly. He took off his backpack, opened the long chain, and took out an acoustic guitar from inside.
"This is where I usually practice, because I won't disturb others. But I didn't expect there would be other people here tonight." Baby Face said, pulling out a small folding stool from his long bag, "I only brought Do you want one?"
Zhou Yu paid attention to his bag and confirmed that there were no other items in it except the guitar and folding stool. The opponent had a slight advantage over him in terms of size, but without weapons it wasn't a problem.
His silence seemed to be taken as rejection, and Baby Face sat on the folding stool happily, holding the guitar and started playing.
Zhou Yu didn't know much about music, but the music played by Baby Face was very famous, and he remembered it as soon as he listened to it.
——"The Magic Flute Variations".
As a famous guitar song, it first came from the opera "The Magic Flute" written by Mozart. Perhaps because Zhou Yu also often listens to opera, Zhou Yu vaguely felt that she was quite familiar with this tune. Gorgeous and scattered tones flow out from the strings. Even if the pianist's skills are mediocre, the brilliance of the music itself is enough to make people dizzy. After playing the song, the baby-faced monster looked at Zhou Yu sheepishly.
"Newbies don't play well." He said apologetically.
"Very good." Zhou Yu responded politely and coldly.
"No, it's far from it. I lack musical talent, and my brother at home is much better." Baby Face laughed cheerfully, "Are you still going to continue walking?"
Zhou Yu looked at each other. The baby-faced figure is medium-sized, with neat facial features and hairstyle. At first glance, he looks like a good student. From appearance to temperament, even if he wears women's clothing and a wig, he cannot be similar to Zhou Yu.
"...No need, I'm going back. Before that, let me ask, do you know what the palm prints on the wall over there are?"
"Huh? You discovered it."
The baby face raised his right hand, revealing the band-aid on his palm: "I was too impatient when changing the string, and ended up cutting my hand. Although it was only a minor injury, there was still a lot of blood. I was frightened at the time, and my subconscious was I wiped it on the wall. That was a wrong example of how to treat a wound. I really don’t know what I was thinking at the time.”
With an unpretentious smile, he slightly lifted the band-aid, and you could see that there were indeed scars underneath, which had healed to the point where only the surface of the skin had not recovered. His palms are slightly larger than Zhou Yu's, with slender knuckles and obvious red calluses on the fingertips, which are injuries caused by novices playing strings.
"If you press the wound in that place, it will become infected."
Finally, Zhou Yu let go of the knife in his pocket and said lightly. He took that as a goodbye and headed for the door in the back. Before that happened, Babyface stopped her and asked, "Can I know your name?"
"I don't think it's necessary."
"Don't be like this, I'm just curious. You look a bit like a relative of mine."
This may be some kind of fixed pick-up routine, but Zhou Yu still looked back at him: "Zhou Yu, rain of rain."
"What a coincidence," Baby Face said, "My surname is also Zhou, so it seems we are from the same family."
Zhou Yu had no interest in his name and was about to leave when Baby Face said again: "The piece I played just now was "The Magic Flute Variations". Have you ever seen its opera?"
Zhou Yu may have seen it, but Zhou Yu has no memory of it. He shook his head.
"That's not the story of the Rat Repeller. If you're interested, go and take a look. Your temperament is very similar to the Queen of the Night in the show."
Although Baby Face's tone is friendly, the content of his speech always feels familiar. Zhou Yu didn't respond, just said: "It would be better if you don't come here to practice again."
Then she left. When I walked out of the door, the melody of the guitar sounded again behind me.
After leaving the factory warehouse, Zhou Yu went to two other abandoned buildings. Although there were signs of human activity, they were obviously homeless people and children, which was completely inconsistent with his expectations. He stood there blankly, and could only admit that this time he made a mistake.
He could explore the deep cave again in the future, but he intuitively believed that there was nothing there.
No matter what, I can only get nothing tonight.
As he was walking home, he remembered what Baby Face said and searched for the opera "The Magic Flute" on his mobile phone. Indeed, as the other party said, it is completely different from the German fairy tale "The Pied Piper of Hamelin". The opera describes a prince being chased by a giant snake, but was rescued by the Queen of the Night, who entrusted the prince with the use of the magic flute. Save Princess Pamina. The prince admired the princess's beauty and volunteered to go to the Kingdom of Light to recapture the princess.
"...That bastard thing."
Because he was not used to swearing, he could only spit out half of his thoughts.
The Queen of the Night that Babyface talks about is actually a female villain. Because he was dissatisfied with his husband, the King of Japan, for entrusting his daughter to the leader of the Kingdom of Light for instruction, he confuses right and wrong and deceives the protagonist to destroy the Temple of Light and take back the princess. Naturally, in the end, the prince turned from darkness to light, destroying the Queen of Night's plot.
No matter how you look at it, the vicious and violent Queen of the Night, who ordered her daughter to kill her father, is not a glorious figure. That baby face is simply scolding him in a roundabout way.
If there was really a female pervert wandering around at night who used a long knife to kill people, he hoped that the next target would be that baby face.
He got on the public bicycle on the roadside with a straight face, pedaled the chain loudly, and sped towards his residence. It was already three o'clock in the morning when he arrived, but he was surprised to find a person standing downstairs.
"...Classmate Zhang?"
Zhang Mumu was originally holding back his hands to keep warm, but when he saw her, he immediately ran over happily.
"Classmate Zhou——take the move!"
She suddenly took out a piece of yellow paper from her pocket and slapped it on Zhou Yu's forehead.
"...What do you want to do?"
Zhou Yu opened the lower part of the yellow paper and looked at the other party calmly and asked.
"Eh? Aren't you immobilized?"
"If I were a ghost, you would be a dead person now." Zhou Yu tore off the yellow paper, glanced at the pictures and text on it, then tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can, "It's too cold outside, go in and talk. .”
Zhang Mumu seemed to be intolerant of the cold. Although he wore more clothes than Zhou Yu, his hands and face were red from the cold. After Zhou Yu entered the house, he boiled a pot of hot water for her, and then found his own coffee from the refrigerator.
"If you run away in the middle of the night, won't your parents hold you accountable?" he asked expressionlessly.
"No problem, tell them I'm staying at my classmate's house!"
"...Even if you die, you won't be wronged. What do you want to do with me?"
"I'm worried about you, classmate Zhou." Zhang Mumu said naturally, "If you run away like that during the day, you might commit suicide at night. So I told Ah Wei to collect ghost things for me. He said to give me a high-level card. The consecrated ghost-fixing talisman will make the ghost unable to move if it is attached."
"...Do you know what's written on it?"
"The rune that fixes ghosts!"
"One, two, three, wooden man—using these six-character runes, I really trust the ghosts to abide by the rules of the game."
Zhang Mumu opened his mouth wide, and then said angrily: "The liar will not die easily!"
"No problem, you can kill that childhood sweetheart when you get back. But please don't use this kind of thing against me next time."
Zhou Yu filled the teacup with hot water and was stunned by the steam. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Classmate Zhang, let me tell you a story."
