Piano Soul: No Wonder All My Colleagues Are Tsuyuzuki Fans
In this situation, Cong Yu felt a sense of familiarity... It felt like something from when Wind City was first established?
However, Cong Yu doesn't really hold onto things like these for long. After all, he has saved and helped far too many people.
He would save one or two children like Zongzheng Ximei every day when the environment was extremely harsh.
If Zongzheng Ximei's potential cannot be realized, or if she doesn't stay by Little Shadow's side, Cong Yu might quickly forget about her.
Of course, every time Cong Yu goes to a bar now, he sees Zongzheng Ximei once, so it's highly likely he won't forget her.
There were many eccentric people in the same batch as Rabbit Man, but Cong Yu only remembered Rabbit Man, one of the "Top Ten People Who Moved the Group".
This is also one of the reasons why Cong Yu compiled the Monster Register.
You could also call it the Book of Friends.
"What about Xiao Cui? Should we just rush in?"
Yaochuan Guang asked this question to Xiao Cui, who was the only one peering into the clubroom through the window using her Little Sprite.
There's nothing we can do about it. We discovered a long time ago that Yaochuan Guang has combat intelligence, but lacks tactical thinking.
If Yaochuan Guang were to devise the plan, it would be simple and brutal: charge in! Damn the enemy! Attack the enemy!
That's settled.
Lantian Zhu, who had combat experience, was now unable to act properly; she even clung tightly to Cong Yu's arm.
Lantian Zhu's teeth were chattering and he was trembling. "The ghost of a band! The ghost of a band, floating above the Wind City Affiliated Junior High School."
You're crazy...
I shouldn't have said those things to scare Little Lan... Wait, is she sticking so close to me on purpose?
Is this to keep Yaochuan Guang in a desensitized state at all times?
Cong Yu made this well-intentioned assumption about Lantian Zhu, and then made a judgment—no, Lao Lan was genuinely afraid.
At this moment, Lantian Zhu's heart was completely consumed by fear, and he couldn't muster any other thoughts.
Tragic! Little Lan! Tragic!
Then, while Cong Yu was thinking this, Xiao Cui had already figured out the strategy and made a tactical arrangement that even Yaochuan Guang could understand.
"Charge straight in."
As she said this, Xiao Cui seemed quite confident, "Press down both instruments at once, then ask about the situation directly!"
Xiao Cui's idea was very simple--
Four against one! The advantage is in my hands!
Yaochuan Guang's eyes lit up on the spot, and he immediately kicked open the door of the music club's classroom.
"Bump!!!"
With a deafening roar, the piano and guitar playing in the sky, which had been engaged in a fierce battle, all froze instantly.
Then, in the next instant...
"FBI! Open the door!"
"Don't move! None of you are allowed to move!"
As Yaochuan Guang shouted this, his golden magic instantly transformed into countless beams of magic energy, ready to be Light Beam, aimed at...
They played their respective musical instruments.
Xiao Cui's Little Sprite also rushed in through the window, turning into a net that stretched as far as the eye could see. Sharp sprite spears and ancient sprite canes were aimed at them.
Even the seemingly useless Lantian Zhu used its blue magic to seal off this area, forming a barrier.
This is the tacit understanding of a well-trained team.
At this point, some people might ask...
Where's Cong Yu? Where's Cong Yu? Cong Yu, come and do something!
With a clear division of labor, Cong Yu wasn't doing nothing—he simply put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked into the classroom.
The bright moonlight shone on him, making his long, jet-black hair reflect a beautiful glow.
He walked lightly on the wooden floor, the light shining through the window casting a long shadow.
He's incredibly handsome and has a very high level of sophistication.
Yes, Cong Yu is in charge of showing off.
"..." Before Cong Yu could say anything, a voice came from the piano floating in the sky, which was being pointed to by the spell and the Little Sprite.
"Lord Cong... Lord Cong Yu?"
It was a male voice, and I felt like I'd heard it somewhere before... There was a hint of surprise in the voice.
It clearly seems to be asking, "Why is Lord Cong Yu here at night?"
Cong Yu: "???"
Yaochuan Guang, Lantian Zhu, and Xiao Cui: "???"
Acquaintance?!
As the four hesitated, several sharp female voices immediately came from the direction of the guitars. "What is that?"
"Uninvited guest?"
"Get out of here, magical girl!"
"Or I'll make you all die here with me!"
These sounds were quite shrill, sounding like the noises of a pseudo-human rather than normal human beings.
It's like the sound of poor-quality chalk rubbing against a blackboard.
The situation is already quite clear.
On one side were those who recognized Cong Yu and called him "Lord Cong Yu," and on the other side were those who shouted, "What are you doing here, being buried with me?"
Therefore, there is only one answer.
In the brief silence, Yaochuan Guang gently turned the Light Beam of light in his hand, shifting it away from the piano and focusing it entirely on the guitar.
"Ha!"
Xiao Cui quickly had the Little Sprite turn the gun around.
"Hey!"
Even Lantian Zhu understood. Trembling, she prepared herself to charge at the "guitarists" and explode. "Hmph! You ghosts of the band! Come on! Die under my Source Severance of Radiance!"
"..." Piano Soul: "???"
Guitar Soul: "???"
The ghosts of the band members? What kind of setting is that?
Chapter 644 The Piano Soul: No wonder my colleagues all Cong Yu Yuchui
The Piano Soul is certainly not the ghost of some band member.
Although his physical form may indeed resemble that of a ghost...
There is something called "activated armor".
Similar settings can be found in many novels, animations, and board games, though the details may differ slightly.
Some theories are based on the immortal soul of the armor's owner, while others are based on the armor gaining life from being stained with too much blood.
But in any case, it was an inanimate object that gained the right to move.
As for those "Piano Soul" and other such "eccentrics" (or it's hard to call them eccentrics), they can be understood as "Schrödinger's Living Instruments."
After all, when the Piano Soul is in a bar, he can drink, talk, and converse while pretending not to see anything.
Furthermore, they can freely switch the musical instrument they possess.
"The Piano Soul... Oh! I remember now."
Yaochuan Guang suddenly realized...
Yes, before Cong Yu could recall any impressions, the first thing that came to mind was this unseen and intangible strange person.
She remembered hearing "Piano Soul" a few times when she went to bars before. But what she never expected was. "So, you really are the piano! I thought you were mainly about the 'soul'!"
Piano Soul: "..."
Yes, it is true that it is a "soul," but it is also a piano, and not just a name he gave himself.
Cong Yu finally remembered the other person.
I remember he was a ghost-like monster who had just joined the group last year and always sat next to the Minotaur in the bar...
It seems that it really was called "Piano Soul".
However, Cong Yu naturally wouldn't say things like, "Haha, who are you? I didn't even recognize you just now."
"So, you're here on a mission?"
Asking this casually, Cong Yu stared at the guitar that was being held down by a bunch of Little Sprite and struggling. "And what are these guitars?"
Before Piano Soul could say anything after Cong Yu finished speaking, a noisy and jarring voice came from the guitar area.
"Damn it, they actually called for backup! What a despicable bastard!"
"Exactly! It's so big and it still calls for help!"
"Shameless! I'm going to kill you!"
"..."
"Shut up."
Lantian Zhu calmly reprimanded, squatting down next to the guitars. "If you dare to utter another word, I'll blow you up."
As he said this, Lantian Zhu's body began to faintly glow, as if it were exploding.
Like a scaly dragon, it felt like it could explode at any moment.
Sensing the danger, the guitarists immediately became quiet, hoping that Lantian Zhu would let them go.
"That's right, Lord Cong Yu... We 'Living Instruments' are able to sense other Living Instruments within a certain range."
The Piano Soul's words made Cong Yu momentarily tense... It really is called "Living Instruments"?
Compared to "activated weapons," which obviously sounds like something for combat, you guys really seem like a pure band...
It's very mysterious.
"Then, we can alter the other's form of existence and symbolism by consuming other Living Instruments."
As he said this, the Piano Soul, facing the magical girl and Lord Cong Yu who completely failed to grasp the meaning, gave an example—
"In other words, if I were to devour the existence of these guitars, they would all transform from guitars into pianos, thus becoming my subordinates."
"However, their personalities, behavioral patterns, and inner selves will remain. They will simply be unable to disobey my commands until I am defeated by the new, Living Instruments... In that case, we will come under the command of the new instrument."
I see...
What a load of rubbish!
"It's... amazing."
Cong Yu commented on the ecology of these "living weapons" in this way, and was slightly speechless... It was less about devouring and more about persuading them to surrender.
It even gives off a sense of "competing for supremacy".
Unfortunately, because the main focus of the competition was musical instruments, it always felt like the competition lacked any real tension or rivalry.
Thinking this, Cong Yu glanced at the three guitars and realized something. "So, this guy has assimilated the other two activated weapons? After all, there are three of them."
In response, the Piano Soul, now detached from the piano, came from the air. "That's true, but I heard they did it voluntarily."
Voluntary?
Cong Yu said she couldn't understand it at all.
