I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Da da da--

The sound of footsteps echoed in the theater hall, and while walking, Lu Bian suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The footsteps seemed to be more than one person!

He stopped immediately.

Da da da--

However, the footsteps did not stop.

Lu Bian looked back and saw nothing.

It was as if someone Lu Bian couldn't see was following him in leather shoes.

After two seconds, the footsteps stopped abruptly.

He continued on to the dilapidated backstage, where the fire had occurred, with the worst damage, the wooden structure was coke, and the cement behind it was stained black.

The whole backstage was filled with an indescribably scorched and rotten smell, which even made Lu Bian wonder whether these smells really existed, or some kind of supernatural hallucination.

Where the flashlight shines, you can see some model dolls. These dolls melted because of the high temperature are integrated with the ground and the wall, which is quite strange.

Maybe these are not dolls?

"Impossible, the police must have cleaned up the scene at that time, and no body will be left."

Lu Bian dispelled those unreasonable imaginations, and the more he walked in, the more he felt that the surroundings became warmer.

It should have been a cool night, but Lu Bian was so hot that he was about to sweat.

It's like being surrounded by flames.

Lu Bian came to the equipment where the accident happened in the backstage with the architectural design drawings he had written down and the descriptions of related reports.

He saw that this device is an old-fashioned switch that controls light switches. This type of switch is not very safe. If it is used for a long time and deteriorates seriously, it is prone to accidents.

Since the theater was built many years ago and is still in use, the circuit equipment has not yet had time to replace it with the latest.

"It should be that the fuse failed to blow in time after the switch was short-circuited, and then the electric spark ignited the props next to it. When it was discovered, the fire was already very big?"

Lu Bian recalled the investigation report in the newspaper, and swept the flashlight down the line.

Immediately, he saw a crooked model puppet, most of which had melted, and only the upper part of the body still had a human figure, lying on the circuit.

It's just that the face of the model doll is not as flat as others, but it can clearly distinguish the facial features!

Thank you for your votes, favorites!

===020. Fire Moonlight Melody ===

Lu Bian immediately clenched the crowbar in his hand.

He observed carefully and found that the face of the model doll seemed to have been damaged by something, showing the outline of human facial features.

"It was these model dolls that caused the fire at the time?"

Lu Bian took two steps back, and the light from the flashlight shone around the light switch.

He didn't know much about circuits, and he could only see that the fire near the switch was dense, and it was smaller outside.

"However, why did the fire in the background cause Du Danping's death?"

Judging from the situation in the theater hall, the fire spread almost the entire hall, and even the dome had a big hole. The fire that started from the backstage, will it evolve into this?

"There shouldn't be many people in the theater at that time. If there are no other accidents, they should be evacuated soon. What affected them?"

The more Lu Bian thought about it, the more wrong he felt.

A dozen or [-] people were rehearsing here, but no one noticed the fire in the backstage, and the fire expanded to the extent that it almost destroyed the entire theater. Could it be that these people lost their minds and fell asleep?

At the same time, Lu Bian felt that the surrounding heat was a bit outrageous.

Sweat was oozing from his back, and the heat was still rising.

Lu Bian turned around and saw that the entire theater was burning!

In the scorching hell, a human figure covered in fire was struggling, howling in pain, crawling towards Lu Trip, trying to drag him into it.

Lu Bian saw the puppet with the outline of a human face burning at his feet, and stretched out his hand towards Lu Bian's trouser legs.

He immediately waved the crowbar in his hand and hit the doll's head.

click-

The crowbar was shattered, and the rotting doll's head was shattered with a single blow. Lu Jian was about to run out of the stage, but found that the entire theater hall was dimmed again.

The fire just now seemed to be just a temporary hallucination, and the whole theater was still deserted, lonely and dark.

Lu Bian looked at what was smashed by the crowbar. It was not a doll, but an ordinary wooden shelf placed at random.

All the way out, the fused model dolls that I saw earlier disappeared, like a nightmare.

Lu Bian came to the piano, turned back and used a flashlight to take a picture of the backstage, there was nothing there.

The back of his hand wiped the cold sweat that seeped out of his forehead, and Lu Bian was startled to realize that the previous hotness might really just be an illusion.

The light of the flashlight illuminated the messy second floor, where there were no puppets screaming in pain, no scorching flames, only silence.

However, when Lu Bian's flashlight confirmed the model dolls with weird eyes in the control room directly opposite the stage, he was surprised to find that the model dolls who were staring at them in front of the window were all gone! ! !

Where did these dolls go, Lu Bian had a lot of guesses.

"These are the people who died in the fire at that time, and their resentment is left here, trying to find the people who killed them?"

"If that's the case, not only will they not hurt me, they should also help me."

Thinking of this, he seemed to feel a lot more at ease.

Lu Bian returned to his backpack in the first row.

After all, he is not a famous detective who can solve a case while sitting in a rocking chair. The police have investigated so many times, and he certainly cannot find too many new clues about the case.

Since the mission says to find a performer, it means that there must be performances here at night, and someone in the local forum has mentioned this.

Lu Bian sat back, took a sip of water, and continued to pick up the phone to watch the video.

I don't know if it's because his views on those weird model dolls have changed. For a period of time after that, he didn't encounter any strange phenomena.

To be precise, there was nothing worthy of his attention.

Occasionally, the strange sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, the crisp sound of marbles falling on the ground, and the occasional mannequins appearing and disappearing in front of the window of the control room—if you ignore these, it’s really good. Peaceful.

After twelve o'clock, Lu Bian looked at the remaining power of the power bank and looked up at the piano.

At this time, the moon was just above the hole in the dome, and the clear moonlight fell down and hit the piano straight, forming a natural spotlight.

There was a misty moonlight in the theater hall, and it was a lot brighter.

Under the shroud of such light, the originally gloomy, dark, and eerie theater hall seemed less terrifying.

A cloud drifted by slowly, obscuring the beauty.

thump——

Suddenly, from the piano, there was a sound of strings.

Lu Bian immediately put away his phone, grabbed the crowbar, picked up the flashlight, and walked towards the stage.

thump——

There was another sound of the piano, which seemed rigid, dull, and stagnant, like a disabled person who was paralyzed raised his hand and pressed it with difficulty.

thump——

Lu Bian saw that the black and white keys of the piano were suddenly pressed automatically, as if an invisible person was adjusting the pitch.

thump——

When the fourth sound of the piano sounded, Lu Bian heard it. This sound seemed to be a lot more pleasant, as if a musician who had not touched the instrument for many years finally found his hand.

thump——

By the fifth tone, there seems to be a faint melody between the two piano sounds.

As the clouds drifted away and the moonlight fell on the piano again, the melody churned.

Completely contrary to this gloomy atmosphere, the clear and tactful piano sound filled the entire theater hall like flowing water, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The black and white keys of the piano kept rising and falling, like waves swaying in the evening, rippling a melody that Lu Kian had never seen before.

He was attracted by the sound of the piano for a while, and it seemed that only the melody was left in his mind.

The music is constantly flowing, jumping, and the theatre hall is quietly changing.

Those corrupt, dead, and dirty things suddenly have colors, red, green, blue, colors that humans can imagine and can't imagine echoing between the theater halls.

Before you know it, many dolls with weird eyes are standing in front of the window of the control room, standing in the destroyed box, standing at the gate, without stepping into the theater hall, just staring at the stage like this. It is the audience looking forward to the performance, and it is like a devout worshipper.

In the melody of different contradictory emotions such as holy, solemn, solemn, light, melodious, lively, etc., Lu Bian was immersed in it and seemed to forget what he was going to do.

He could see a player sitting on the stage under the moonlight, beside the piano.

The performer was wearing a tuxedo, and his fingers moved nimbly on the black and white keys, like a master player with the highest skill.

It's just that the person, or the human-shaped performer, is covered in black marks, like a remnant that has been baptized by fire and eventually burned to the ground. The blood vessels, muscles, and bones are completely inhuman. thing.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bian suddenly woke up.

He clearly knew that this was the biggest anomaly of this Jiangcheng Grand Theater!

===021. Survive till dawn===

The blackened traces behind the stage were distorted, and indifferent words were projected in Lu Kian's field of vision.

【Find player 1/1】

Obviously, this is the person the land trip mission needs to find.

However, it would be nice if the task was just that.
