The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 59: Give It a Little Nursery Rhyme Shock!

Jun Mowen went up first.

He sat down at the piano with a serious expression.

Then...

"Ding! Ding!"

The trembling sound of the piano began to play incessantly!

Jun Mowen's expression was very calm and focused, his gaze constantly fixed on the music score.

"Very impressive," said a man with a stained face and a pale complexion, "But he needs to be careful of the spiritual impacts later on."

A look of fear appeared on his face:

"When I played further into the piece, it was as if I could feel the presence of a monster behind me, monitoring my practice expressionlessly! And it was getting closer and closer!"

"That feeling was truly too terrifying!"

Yun Zhantian spoke up, "It seems that this thing can create illusions."

Su Qi, however, pondered, "Or perhaps it is really behind you? Have you tried headbutting it?"

"...."

Meanwhile,

The sound from the piano suddenly intensified, and even the cool-headed player Jun Mowen... now showed a change in his face, as if he was frightened, and his focus scattered.

The sound of the piano shrieked in everyone's eardrums! It was as if the piano tones were sawing through something!

And in the next moment!

Jun Mowen made a mistake, and his body trembled!

"Bang!"

A loud burst, and his entire body was violently thrown back, hitting the wall heavily!

Clearly, the force of this blow was greater than the last.

Blood leaked from Jun Mowen's mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Jun Mowen was helped up by a middle-aged man. He had a bad complexion and said hoarsely, "Gentlemen, this challenge is very difficult. Not only do we have to keep up with the rhythm, but we also have to directly face... that terrifying spiritual impact,... and the next one might be fatal. Our consecutive mistakes have enraged it greatly."

He looked at Yun Zhantian, "Brother Yun, are you confident?"

Yun Zhantian hesitated for a bit but shook his head, "Although I can play the piano, spiritual power is my weakness, I haven't enhanced it at all. My only spiritual defense equipment can be used only once per instance, and I've already used it."

"I'm afraid it's unlikely."

Everyone fell silent.

"?"

Su Qi looked at the group of people sighing and lamenting.

Have you all forgotten that there's still one among us who can play the piano?

"Brother Su, what are you thinking of doing?"

Ye Shou watched as Su Qi slowly walked over.

His gaze was as serene as a master's, looking at the piano keys. He slowly opened his mouth, his voice gentle and indifferent, "Learning is a matter of talent. Some people can write research papers before they're ten years old, some can drive a McLaren right after graduating, and some get promoted to senior levels as soon as they enter a relevant department. The same goes for the piano."

"I've read about the first case, that paper was written by her dad! The latter one is a rich second generation, the other a powerful official's child! What does this have to do with talent, you jerk!" The man with the stained face became pale and out of breath, "No, there are too many errors, I can't get them all out!"

"That's not important."

"..."

Su Qi had already adjusted his clothes, making a formal bow in the direction of the bloodstained piano, with etiquette and a smile that seemed fitting for a concert, exceedingly standard.

He then slowly sat down.

The crowd was somewhat astonished, but no one spoke, afraid of disturbing Su Qi—after all, the moment had come where they had to go through with it!

"Ding! Ding!"

The impatient piano sound abruptly started up again, this time even more agitated and filled with a sense of chill.

Su Qi stretched out his slender fingers, and the harmonious sound gently flowed from his fingertips.

The duet gracefully commenced!

Though the piano's tone was abnormal, it was orderly and methodical.

"He really knows his stuff!" the crowd exclaimed in amazement, thankful that they had connected the tablets and control panels right away, avoiding the kind of blunder only a foolish teammate would make.

Su Qi focused intently, his movements relaxed and comfortable, hardly seeming like someone who had just started playing the piano.

Stain pushed up his glasses, "He needs to be careful now. He's about to enter the main melody. The rhythm and the spiritual impact will both intensify."

The music lasted for a long time, about ten minutes.

As it progressed, the Bloodstained Piano played more intensely, more abnormally!

The sound of the piano suddenly moved into a higher order!

"Here it comes!"

Stain and Jun Mowen both stared intently, having personally experienced it, they understood the difficulty of this section better than anyone else!

Su Qi showed no change in expression; he even played more fiercely, as if he was more into it than the other side!

The duet seemed to turn into a competition between the two!

"Why do I feel like Brother Su even wants to overpower the opponent?" Night Watch murmured. He didn't understand piano or music, but he knew Su Qi.

At this moment.

On the mottled piano in the middle, blood appeared! Lots of fresh blood seeped out from between the keys. And with the violent press of the keys, the blood splattered out, as if chopping away at flesh and bone!

"The abnormal phase is starting!"

Jun Mowen and Stain's complexions changed as they said gravely, "This is where we failed. The spiritual impact will lead us to hallucinate, making us see abnormalities, black shadows! Not sure if Brother Su can shake off the influence."

"Wait, Brother Su doesn't seem to have moved at all!"

"He's so steady!"

And on Su Qi's side.

The abnormalities and black shadows indeed appeared one after another around him, but as they attempted to draw close, they trembled and were forcefully suppressed, unable to advance... Su Qi's spiritual power was so high, they were outdated.

The so-called stern spiritual impact was just like a breeze passing by, without causing a ripple.

"..."

Ten minutes finally passed slowly by.

During that time, everyone felt several terrifying bursts, but Su Qi caught them all. They weren't performing a duet... they were fighting tooth and nail!

And the middle-aged man, looking at the control panel, quickly said:

"Success!"

The tablet had begun to flicker, showing progress.

And the piano music started to slow down, entering the finale.

"Ding!"

The last note came from the Bloodstained Piano, its vibrato echoing throughout Room 6.

It seemed somewhat content, as if to say that Su Qi was quite good and had passed.

The crowd's faces lit up with joy as they cheered:

"Brother Su, well done!"

"To think you said you only started a month ago, turns out you were joking."

"Do you want to take a rest before we move on to Room 5?"

But Su Qi didn't stand up. He looked at the[!]on top of the Bloodstained Piano, where red characters emerged.

[Defeat it, and perhaps you'll get a reward]

The just-finished duet was only a mutual contest; after all, the other side had been in control, and it had not been defeated.

"Brother Su?"

The others looked at the unmoving Su Qi with some surprise.

Then they saw Su Qi slowly reach into his pocket and take out another piece of sheet music.

"You go ahead."

It was a tattered piece of sheet music, contaminated material that the Traveling Merchant needed. It was already so worn and the ink had faded, barely able to make out the lines, which Su Qi had handwritten to record the Sound of the Past of Horror Nursery Rhyme.

Su Qi placed the sheet music on top and softly said:

"I'm going to give it a little... 'nursery rhyme shock'."
