CHAPTER 19: So angry!

The spring breeze suddenly blew past, bringing with it a peaceful and cozy scene. Xie Cheng and Xia Han sat next to each other, playing a song together, making the surrounding space warm and harmonious with the romantic melody and his clear voice, as if wanting everything around the room to turn into blooming flowers that spread their petals all over the floor.

He looked at the young man who was passionately playing the piano and singing.

Thump, thump.

The blind hatred once again disappeared from his heart, and he felt like loving him again.

The piano melody stopped, his hand grabbed the hand that was playing the piano. He wrapped his arms around his small waist and pulled him into his embrace.

The faint orange scent wafting from his body made him unable to control himself and immediately attacked his lips. Xia Han was surprised and pushed him away.

"Teacher Cheng..." Embarrassed, his face suddenly turned red.

Xie Cheng eagerly leaned in to continue the passionate and deep kiss, his heart was burning. He let go of his lips and caressed his face.

Xie Han shyly kissed his cheek then smiled, his eyes lingering on him.

Suddenly, black smoke surrounded him, sweeping away Xia Han's beautiful face in an instant. He panicked and hugged him, letting his head rest on his shoulder.

The scene changed, the piano and Xia Han disappeared with the black smoke.

Xie Cheng hugged nothingness.

Before his eyes suddenly turned into the scene of Xia Han and He Qing entangled in lovemaking on the bed.

He couldn't believe his eyes, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

"Ah...Ugh". Xia Han's loving voice rang out.

His chest immediately ached, and blue veins appeared on the back of his hand.

Xie Han grabbed He Qing's neck and kissed passionately, the kiss seemed to want to swallow the other person. Let go, he tilted his head and laughed contemptuously at him.

Boom!

The piano keys were pressed down hard by his hand, causing the keys to sink deep and get stuck. The piano sound echoed throughout the square and then stopped intermittently.

He was startled and let go of his hand, calming down to find himself still standing in the middle of the stage.

Holding his head, he took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to calm down, he coldly looked down at the sunken piano keys, not thinking about anything, and then walked down the stage.

Now that he was in the curse, those unrelated bastards didn't care, the important thing was to focus on the task of finding a way to escape the curse.

Walking around the square searching for clues.

Walking around and around but couldn't find anything.

Could it be that there was no key to open those locked doors and he was just hanging around here forever?

Not giving up this time, he was determined to walk and observe carefully, going through each row of seats. When he reached the top row of seats, he suddenly saw a box on the innermost seat.

I've been looking for this place for a while now but I can't find it. Could it be that a ghost is teasing me?

I went in and picked up the box. It was made of rosewood and was locked with a three-digit code. I turned the box over to observe it.

"You need a code to open it.." Suddenly I remembered that I picked up a piece of paper with three numbers written on it in the corner.

It must be the code for the box, so I took out the paper and looked closely at the numbers on it.

"8... 6... 3". Enter the numbers.

I hope that there will be a key inside the box.

Clang.

The box didn't open!

Xie Cheng frowned: "Why didn't you open it? That's right?".

Usually in horror games, when you find the numbers, there will immediately appear objects that require a code and you will rely on the numbers to get the objects immediately. I applied it like that but it wasn't like the game!

I thought for a moment then tried reversing the numbers.

"It didn't work just now, so how about 3 6 8?". The lock still wouldn't open.

"What about 6 3 8?". It didn't work either.

"Then 3 8 6?". The lock couldn't be opened.

I'm a little annoyed!

"6 8 3? This time it definitely works!".

"Clank". Still won't open.

This is so frustrating!

"If it doesn't work this time, then fuck it! 8 3 6!".

"Fuck!".

Still can't open!

He was so angry that he lost his patience and threw the box hard towards the stage. The box hit the floor and rolled next to the piano.

Xie Cheng sat down on the chair: "I can't find anything anymore! I'm tired! The door is locked, there's no way out, the other box is also locked, there's no clue or key!".

"I'll just sleep! I'll have to wait for someone to come save me." He leaned back in his chair, eyes closed, hand on forehead.

Xie Cheng: ".....".

Thinking back and forth, could he give up while those people were looking for him?

Wouldn't that be both stupid and cowardly?

Opening his eyes, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he immediately stood up, walked down, used the lighter to light the way, and went up to the stage. He bent down to pick up the box under the piano and suddenly saw something faintly engraved on the floor. Curious, he knelt down, using the light of the lighter to light it.

Through the firelight, he could see: "3 1 5?".

In his mind, he quickly took out the box and entered the code he had just found.

Crack!

The lock was unlocked.

He never expected the code to be at the foot of the piano. It was true that in misfortune there is luck.

If he hadn't thrown this box up here, he would have spent years searching for the code.

Then the three numbers on the piece of paper were used to open the code for something else.

Xie Cheng opened the box, there was a key inside. He took it out and put it in his pocket. In just a second, he turned it around and the box disappeared without a trace.

After taking the item, the object automatically disappeared?

Without thinking much, he stood up. The light above his head suddenly flashed, he stepped back, tightened his grip on the stick in his hand, calmly focused on observing the surroundings, in case anything appeared, he would beat it up.

All the lights in the square suddenly lit up, only then did he see that the square outside the light had an extremely luxurious neoclassical beauty. He glanced around, accidentally glancing over the piano. A red piece of paper suddenly appeared on it.

Letting down his guard, he picked up the paper to look at it. The black handwriting was neatly written.

"Go find the old man, two girls, and a dog." He read.

"Huh? Mission?".

"Old man? Two girls? A dog?".

He frowned: "Go find Bai Hu, Li Xiao Juan, Xin Xin, and Wang?!".

"Cough cough cough...". A strange sound rang out outside.

Xie Cheng turned his head to look at the direction of the sound: "Huh...?".

"Cough cough cough!!!". Suddenly, the large door below the square opened, charging in more than a dozen hungry ghosts.

They fought and trampled on each other, rushing towards Xie Cheng.

••

Xie Ying's face darkened as he kicked the pillar, cursing: "Fuck! Xie Cheng Cheng was taken away by a ghost! The door was suddenly locked and he couldn't go anywhere!".

"In my opinion, we should wait for the mission and then go find him later." Liang Zun, sweating coldly, tried to comfort him.

"How long do we have to wait for the mission?!". He was anxious.

Liu Yu stood leaning against the pillar smoking, he coldly said: "Calm down, boy, Xie is not a weakling who will die easily."

Hearing his words, he thought about it and felt a little less angry, he had always been worried that his weak brother would encounter this or that.

He could clearly fight ghosts!

Suddenly, the lights in the hall went out, and the space was plunged into darkness without a single light. Liang Zun, who was standing on the other side, jumped right in between the two of them.

"Why...why did the power suddenly go out?". Liang Zun asked with a trembling voice.

Liu Yu took out a flashlight from his side pocket and threw it to Xie Ying, who caught it. He said, "You lead the way."

"What?". Suddenly being ordered by his uncle to lead the way, he was clearly the most experienced person here, but he didn't lead the way but instead forced the rookie to light the way for him.

What a lazy old man!

But if he wanted to become close teammates with him, he had to listen to his orders. Xie Ying immediately accepted.

Turned on the flashlight: "Alright, then lead the way."

The flashlight's light shone around the lobby, and there was nothing unusual. He turned the light to the reception desk, then stopped and walked towards it.

On the table appeared another red piece of paper next to the red mission paper when he first entered the hotel. When he got closer, he picked up the paper.

The red paper had neat black letters.

"Go find the old man, two girls, and a dog." He read it out.

"Are you looking for Bai Hu, Xiao Juan, Xin Xin, and Xie Cheng's puppy Wang? So we have to go find those five people? Xie is also missing." Liang Zun spoke up from the side.

Putting down the paper, he said, "Let's split up and look for the key now. How can we find the locked door?"

"I'll go upstairs to look, you two stay here and look." Liu Yu used a lighter to light it and turned around to leave.

Xie Ying went around the reception desk and opened the desk drawer, but it was completely locked.

The two of them searched every corner of the lobby.

After searching for a while, they couldn't find the key anywhere.

Liu Yu came downstairs from upstairs.

"Did you get any results?" Xie Ying asked.

Liu Yu shook his head.

"What should we do now?" Liang Zun was worried.

Xie Ying was thinking, suddenly remembered something, and fumbled in his pocket for something.

"The key!" Liang Zun pushed his glasses up to look at the thing in his hand.
