my cthulhu game

Chapter 57 The new employee of Sanity Fortress
Le Sheng was not in a hurry to start playing.He knew he needed a little time to get used to the new pedals.He sat on the piano bench and pressed the keys one by one from left to right, thinking about issues such as range and timbre.

"Sir," Todd came in, "can you play the piano?"

Well, asking Beethoven if he can play the piano is a really good question, even better than asking Messi if he can play football.

Beethoven ignored him.He's almost done it.

He casually played his "F Minor No. 20 Three Piano Sonata "Enthusiasm"".Perhaps this piece of music is not suitable as an experiment, but since the people in front of me are willing to hear their own name after 200 years, it is good to just play one of their own pieces.

[Ludwig van Beethoven's piano performance test 59/99 success]

……

Todd froze.

He has collected no less than ten sets of CDs of Beethoven's piano sonatas alone.He didn't know how many times he had heard this "Sonata of Passion", and many times it was performed live by a famous pianist, but...

The performance in front of me is different.

The clear and hazy tone contains endless emotions: enthusiasm, joy, sensitivity, the pain of the end, the joy of rebirth, the strong willpower is like a magnificent classical palace, connecting all the excitement and enthusiasm together, the beauty is shocking In the notes, steel-like willpower spirals up, beyond the poetic and picturesque, it also shows the player's fierceness and courage.

Todd suddenly felt ashamed—hell, this level of performance should not be the only audience for him, let alone his mediocre piano!

Those real world famous pianos should be used, Steinway, Bechstein, Bösendorfer!If the president of Yamaha can hear this embarrassing scene, it is best to send him a YAMAHA-CFX that has been debugged and is in perfect condition!

The notes changed, and Dr. Todd felt as if he was on the move, as if everything was playing to him, and all the stars were singing to him. Time turned into space, and the flowing notes turned into a sublime picture belonging to Beethoven.

"..."

Until the end of the first district, Todd was still immersed in the memory of the music.

"Old sir," Todd stammered after a long while, "You..."

He couldn't imagine that such a great player was deaf, and he was the first person to treat him properly.

Then he finally realized...

Deafness, great musicians, strange old German, words and deeds that are out of line with the times, and Beethoven.

[Howard Todd's intelligence check was successful 71/75]

The face of the person in front of him overlapped with the resolute face in the portrait.

"Excuse me..." Dr. Todd felt his mouth dry.

"I am back."

Chen Qiang said on his own, walked into the room, and closed the door.

"It's you." Mr. Bei recognized Chen Qiang.

"You may not be used to it when you are new here," Chen Qiang said. Anyway, Dr. Todd, who has the most contact with Beethoven, will discover this secret sooner or later. Instead of waiting for him to find out, he might as well tell it himself. To your satisfaction."

"Thank you for everything you have done for me." Even the stubborn Le Sheng is no longer arrogant at this moment.He originally wanted to beg the other party to send him back to the Vienna he was familiar with, but he suddenly felt that it would be good to stay in this fresh future world as he was almost unaccompanied.

"Mr. Beethoven," Chen Qiang took out some German materials from his bag, "Here are some basic knowledge of the world today, including the world situation, and some technological developments in the past 200 years, etc. Although you may pay more attention to music, But you should look at these too... Hello, Dr. Todd? What's the matter with you?"

[Howard Todd’s Psychology Test Successful 6/10]

Todd, a classical music lover, realized that Chen Qiang was not lying to him, his heart beat violently.

Then, he just fell down clutching his heart.

"Come here, doctor, he passed out..."

……

late at night.

Sitting in the driver's seat of his black pickup truck, Chen Qiang yawned heavily.

After appeasing the overexcited Todd and the bewildered Beethoven, Chen Qiang drove the car back to his "Fortress of Reason" company.

The poor thief was still in a vegetative state and he didn't know if he could be revived, but the result of asking the living voice creature made him feel good.

This time there are two envoys from Skoho, who are here to collect the souls of great musicians who are dying.They are good at using sound to find people, but they hit a wall with Beethoven, a deaf man. They mistakenly targeted another time traveler, and were eventually controlled by Chen Qiang's "myth interference".

As long as the great musician's physical condition improves, the conditions for the outer god Trunimbula to seize the soul will no longer be met.

"Unlike the old rulers who were extremely domineering," Chen Qiang thought to himself, "the Outer Gods act according to their own laws. If the sonic creature didn't lie... keeping Mr. Bei in good health is the shortcut to avoid the appearance of the Outer God himself; But if we pursue infallibility, we must send the old man back to his time as soon as possible.”

Chen Qiang was hesitant in his heart.

Truninbula isn't like Nyarlathotep who likes to make trouble, right?Although he had indeed killed the sonic creature before the "myth interference" took effect.

"I hope that the remaining living voice creature that is still alive will go back to Skagho Bay as soon as possible, and stop messing around in this world." Chen Qiang said heartily.

It is not ruled out that the old man Bei's health improves, and the possibility that the other party will also attack.

……

Silent night.

"Are you there?" Chen Qiang turned on the light in the basement of "Fortress of Sanity".

"You, you're back." Under the light, the elder with swaying tentacles and Uncle Xu, the ghoul with gelatinous skin, were sitting on the ground, talking about something.

For Chen Qiang, the secret keeper who already possessed the two investigator talents of [Friend of the Ghoul] and [Friend of the Ancient], even if he saw this horrifying scene, he would not lose his sanity.

"Come on, let's talk about today's situation." Chen Qiang briskly walked over to the two mythological creatures employees.

"Little Gu learns very quickly," Uncle Xu said enthusiastically, "In a few days, it will be able to take on a human form."

Xiao Gu was a surname given to him by this ancient man.

Uncle Xu thought that his transformation spell could only be used by ghouls, but he didn't expect the old man to improve this spell without much effort.

"I am, however, a genius." The young ancient man was very excited.

"You should think about it," Chen Qiang asked, "Do you want to be um... male or female?"

The ancients do not have the concept of gender, Chen Qiang chose a term that he thought might be easier for the other party to understand.

"Female, I plan to become a female," said the ancient, "Your Excellency Chen Qiang, your wording is really ugly, you want to say 'male' and 'female'."

...It's hard to be educated by mythical creatures.

"Then, why choose a woman?"

"Both you and Old Xu said my voice is nice," said the old man triumphantly, "like a girl's voice."

"Okay." Chen Qiang touched his chin, as if he was stroking a beard that didn't exist.

　On Monday, I would like to ask for a recommendation vote.
