MTL - I Can Rewind-Chapter 420 The Ghost in the Choir (5600 words, ask for a monthly ticket!

  Chapter 420 The ghost in the chorus (5600 words, ask for a monthly ticket!)

  In fact, completing the task of [Mr. Changing Head] was not much different from Yan Junze's expectation.

  First of all, the level of this task is "Frightened (Medium, which means that the level of Krante's weirdness will not exceed that of Void Spirit, and at most it will be half Void Spirit.

   But from what I saw just now, Krante can't even reach a half-empty spirit, so he might be a high-level sculpting spirit.

   It’s just that this guy should have some special means, such as using a staff, a tall hat, etc., to make his attack power increase rapidly or explode in a short period of time, so he can kill so many spirit eliminators in a row.

   It is actually very simple to get rid of this weird method. Yan Junze has already learned about the background of Krante through the task information, and then combined with a search on the Internet, he can probably find out the real cause of Krante's death.

  After such a long period of understanding of breaking the weird obsessions, Yan Junze is very clear that some weird obsessions seem difficult to crack, but in fact, many answers are around.

  No matter how difficult it may seem, if you think about it carefully or look for it, you will always find an answer that satisfies your obsession.

   After learning about the ins and outs of the headless murder case on the Internet, Yan Junze found a photo of Croft Connor during his lifetime. Sure enough, this man's dress was very similar to the legendary Headless Mr. Corante.

   After such a comparison, things are basically clear.

   Then Yan Junze wondered where is Croft's head.

  He actually had two guesses, one was that after the killer chopped off his head, he took it back and gave it to Croft's wife and her lover, but thinking about it carefully, it was completely unnecessary.

  Since the killer was hired, there was no need for Croft's wife to disbelieve that the other party only received money and did not work, and there was no need to bring back such horrible "evidence" to prove it to her.

   And news reports also said that Croft's wife confessed to herself, and she never saw her husband again until she was caught, but only saw the photos taken by the killer.

  Then the second guess is that since the killer cut off Croft's head and took a photo, he must not discard the head at will, but find something to hide the head on the spot.

   In this way, Yan Junze suddenly had a whim, whether the killer would directly stuff this head into that funny-looking tall hat, so after looking at it just now, it really is the case.

  It saved a lot of trouble when things got here. The cause of death was clarified, the head was found on the spot, and the obsession was completed for Croft, which seemed to be very efficient.

   According to Sandy, the small leader of the Ressa organization, the efficiency is indeed very high.

  Even after Yan Junze spoke to him, Sandy still looked at the young man with a Huaying face with his eyes wide open without saying a word.

  Yan Junze watched him staring at him, and touched his cheek unconsciously, trying to find if there was something dirty on his face.

   "Just... Just now, you... Headless... Mister Headless..." Sandy pointed at the place where Krante disappeared, unable to utter a complete sentence, obviously he couldn't accept the scene just now.

  Yan Junze shrugged: "My way of removing spirits is different from yours. I help Weird complete his obsession, and Mr. Corant's obsession is to find his own head."

   As he spoke, he lowered his head and glanced at the 12 remaining heads on the ground one by one, "Obviously, I found it for him just now, so he left contentedly and will not appear again."

  It took a long time for Sandy to come back to his senses, and nodded, this time he finally got the words straight: "Mr. Headless, he won't kill any more people, right?"

"Not anymore."

   "These heads..." Sandy hesitated.

  Yan Junze said: "Please clean up, after all, I am an outsider, and I can't find any good way to deal with these things."

At this time, the phone in Sandy's trouser pocket rang, and he took it out to answer it, with a low voice: "You all come up. Felton...he is dead, his head is in room 409, and his body should still be in other places in the corridor. Do a search."

Yan Junze knew that the spirit remover named Felton and Sandy should have died not long ago, but he couldn't help it. Now he urgently needs energy points, and his own recovery is not enough at present, so he can't use it on people he doesn't know anymore. Spend energy, otherwise the plan will be extended indefinitely.

  Even if Felton didn't meet him, he would still be dead. As a spirit remover, he should have expected this day to come.

   After hanging up the phone, Sandy asked Yan Junze: "Mr., when you saw me just now, were you asking where there is still something weird?"

   "Yes." Yan Junze nodded.

   "Yes." Sandy also nodded.

"Where?"

   "Star Theater."

  Star Theater.

  This magnificent building is located in the east district of Santa Galla, adjacent to the Santa Galla Cathedral. Sometimes the choir in the church will use the theater's equipment to complete rehearsals and performances.

  Ophelia is the lead singer in the theater chorus, the choir is called the Star Girls Choir, which belongs to the theater.

The theater choir has just been appointed to participate in the state banquet performance in Dadu, the United States and California. Bernard, the director of the theater, attaches great importance to this and has been arranging the chorus to rehearse all day long, so as to impress the presidential palace in Dadu during the state banquet performance. impression.

  Including Bernard himself will be present to supervise and guide almost every rehearsal. If he can’t come, he will also call the choir leader Oliver to ask about the rehearsal situation.

   It's just that the rehearsals in the past month have been a mental torture for the choir members.

  Because all the members, including lead singer Ophelia, found that sometimes during the rehearsal process, there would be an extremely dissonant voice in the chorus.

   Sometimes a member even finds a strange woman next to his seat. This woman seems to be singing too, but the voice she sings makes people get goosebumps.

  If during this process, if one more member is found and turns his head to check, everything will return to normal, with other familiar members next to him, nothing unusual.

  Of course, this situation does not happen often, maybe once in the course of four rehearsals a week.

  The head of the Star Theater, Bernard, has already reported to the Half Moon Association, and even reported to other small-scale spirit removal organizations in Santa Galla at the same time.

  However, like the Spirit Eliminator Organization in Huaying, the Banyue Association also has to queue up. It is said that Bernard spent some money to advance the queue by one hundred places, but it still takes a while.

  However, the Ressa organization rushed to the Star Theater as soon as possible. They waited in the theater three times and found something strange once, but they didn't catch anything.

  Another small-scale spirit removal organization declared that it could not handle it, so it simply did not come to the theater.

This is the last rehearsal for this week, and there are two weeks before the official performance at the state banquet. All the members are under a lot of pressure, especially when thinking about the weirdness that will appear in the team anytime, anywhere, it is even more difficult to calm down Come.

Ophelia stands in the front row, because she is the lead singer. When the last song is halfway through, according to the arrangement, she will step out of the line, walk to the front microphone, sing a section alone, and then combine her singing voice with the The choir behind them merged together, and finally, after the climax, they took a curtain call together.

   This week is fine, nothing unusual has happened, especially Oliver, the head of the chorus sitting in the auditorium, is very satisfied.

  Following this trend, she believes that the Star Girls Choir will definitely leave a deep impression on the people in the presidential palace.

  There are three songs, the titles of which are "Little Girl at the Boka Mountain", "Santa Lucia", and "Swan in Spring".

   Among them, the first and second songs are pure cantatas, only the arrangement of the three parts of high school, high school and bass is separated, and the last song "Swan in Spring" needs to pull out the lead singer, and the lead singer and chorus will cooperate seamlessly.

   "Santa Lucia" is a chorus without accompaniment, all relying on the uniformity and ups and downs of the chorus to impress the audience.

   At this time, on the high stage of the theater, the choir was rehearsing the song "Santa Lucia".

  The head of the choir, Oliver, sat in the auditorium, with her hands folded on her chest, a smile on her lips, and she stared at the performance of everyone on the stage without blinking.

   And at this moment, Betty, the third woman standing in the right side of the second row, suddenly heard an extremely discordant voice appearing beside her.

  Because this song has no accompaniment and is all sung a cappella, the discordant voice sounded so harsh that Betty's own voice trembled violently and almost became dumb in her throat.

  The other woman beside Betty froze for a moment, then turned to look at her.

   "Stop!"

Oliver, the head of the group, was sitting in the auditorium, and naturally heard the abnormality clearly, but she didn't seem to hear the strange voice that Betty heard, she just stood up and said, "Betty, why are you distracted? Just now your The singing is like a stone dropped into a clear flowing stream, disturbing the beautiful melody of the entire choir."

   "No, it's not me." Betty quickly explained, she turned her head and looked beside her, beside her was her good partner Villar all along, and there was no one else at all.

  The head of the team, Oliver, was stunned for a moment, and seemed to think of something, and asked, "Betty, did a discordant voice appear next to you just now?"

   Betty nodded immediately, and turned her head to look in the direction of her partner Villar again. This glance, on the contrary, scared the little girl, Villar, to turn pale and panicked.

   "Dear Betty, what do you think I'm doing? Don't scare me!" Villar trembled.

  Olive glanced at the place where Villar was standing strangely. She didn't pay attention to it just now, but she intuitively told herself that it seemed that Villar was always beside Betty, and no one else had appeared.

  If a strange figure suddenly appeared in the entire choir, Olive would definitely notice the anomaly immediately, but she didn't see anything just now, and she wasn't sure if anyone else appeared beside Betty.

  The lead singer Ophelia said at this time: "Ms. Olive, I think we should stop here for today's rehearsal."

   After a pause, Ophelia said again: "I heard it just now."

  Her position is in front of Villar, that is, if there is another person standing beside Betty, that person will be behind Ophelia.

   Now the goosebumps on Ophelia's body haven't subsided, the horrible voice just now, it's more like a miserable howl than a song, it made her whole heart be pulled together.

  Olive's expression was very tangled, mainly because Bernard was staring too closely, and he attached great importance to this performance. But it is obviously not suitable to continue rehearsing now.

  Paused, Olive was about to announce the end of the rehearsal, when not far behind her, a young man's voice suddenly sounded: "No need to stop, you can continue, just let me handle it."

Olive looked back, and saw that it was Sandy, who was familiar with the Ressa Spirit Elimination Organization. Standing next to Sandy was a young man with a strange Huaying face, and the person who spoke just now was obviously this young man. .

   "This is Jill Steve, a very good spirit remover." Sandy introduced Olive to Olive with a smile on her face.

  Even he and Oliver didn't realize it. When the name was mentioned, Yan Junze rolled his eyes, and once again despised Zhang Xiaomo's bad taste in his heart.

   "Hello, Mr. Steve." Olive reacted, and immediately greeted Yan Junze with a smile.

   "Hello." Yan Junze nodded to her, then turned his gaze to the choir on stage.

   "Jill, I already told you the specific situation when we came here. We still can't catch the weirdness mixed in the choir. Please take a look and see how to deal with it."

  After experiencing the incident of Mr. Headless, Sandy obviously fell in love with Yan Junze. At this moment, he speaks in a respectful tone, which also has a sense of friendship.

   "Please call me Steve, thank you." Yan Junze said expressionlessly.

   "Okay, okay, Steve...sir." Sandy quickly changed his words.

  Yan Junze turned his head to look at Olive, with a smile on his face: "Can I say a few words to the girls in the choir?"

   "Of course." Olive nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

  Yan Junze stepped onto the high stage, but Sandy did not follow, but stood in the auditorium with Olive.

   "This person...was organized by your Ressa?" Olive asked.

Sandy smiled and shook his head: "No, he is a high-level spirit remover I hired with great difficulty. For your theater, I, Lesa, paid a lot of money. By the way, the price may have to go up a bit, but it won't It's an exaggeration, this is the difference between us and the Half Moon Association."

  Olive nodded: "No problem, I can make the decision, as long as this trouble can be resolved as soon as possible."

"Girls." Standing on the stage, about two meters away from the lead singer Ophelia, Yan Junze said: "The song you are singing now should be "Santa Lucia". I have heard it before. Now Please continue to sing from the beginning. But please remember, this time you must sing to the end. No matter what you hear or see in the middle, don't stop or hesitate until the song is finished, okay? "

   Everyone did not speak, but stared at Yan Junze in surprise.

  Yan Junze's tone became stricter this time: "If anyone is interrupted by interference, they must start all over again until they finish singing once. Otherwise, this weird one among you will always follow you. Forever!"

  All the girls in the choir trembled, and couldn't help but nodded quickly.

   "Okay." Yan Junze clapped his hands, "Everyone calm down, try to think about how to finish this song, don't worry about the interference of other weird voices, just finish singing it."

  After finishing speaking, he turned his head and gestured to Olive with his eyes.

  Olive nodded, let everyone stand in their positions, and played the role of conductor during the official performance.

   About five minutes later, the song "Santa Lucia" officially started.

  Yan Junze has returned to the auditorium and stood with Sandy.

  Sandy asked worriedly: "Mr. Steve, are you sure we don't care about anything after that weirdness appears?"

   "Don't worry about it, just do what I say." Yan Junze nodded.

   Immediately, he made a hissing gesture and pointed to the stage.

  At this time, a girl's voice became obviously abrupt, as if she was scared out of tune by something.

   "Start again!" Yan Junze said loudly.

  Everyone paused slightly, and then started again.

  After doing this for the fifth time, the members of the choir seemed to have finally found their sense.

  Just now, Betty felt a sharp, hoarse, weird, and even an inexplicable howling sound behind her.

   This voice doesn't sound like it's trying to disturb everyone, but it's really singing, singing to the best of its ability.

  Betty's scalp was numb, and goosebumps appeared all over her body, but she continued singing without hesitation.

Not long after, a shrill cry came from the front of Villar, that is, the left side of the first row, like a woman whose throat was torn, screaming desperately, the voice changed from low to high, and gradually became clear.

   At this time, other members of the choir, including Oliver, heard it.

  Yan Junze and Sandy also heard it at the same time.

  Following the sound, both of them looked towards the place where the sound came from.

  I saw a woman in white clothes standing there, her face was completely covered by her bony long brown hair, and as the weird and shrill sound came out, the woman's body trembled in rhythm.

  Olive also saw it at this time, her receptivity was not stronger than that of the spirit eliminator, she was so frightened that she trembled suddenly, and quickly closed her eyes.

   This woman was standing beside the lead singer Ophelia. Ophelia was trembling all over at this time, but to her surprise, she managed to keep her voice from shaking, and sang along with everyone's chorus fluently.

   To Yan Junze's ears, that bizarre and weird voice was very similar to a song he had heard in his last life, or to be precise, a voice.

  That song, to be honest, it's hard for anyone to finish listening to it, because it sounds like it's not an exaggeration to describe it as "Lost Rivers".

Some artists commented that this song is "broken human voice wailing from beginning to end", "a purely abstract hiss using a fleshy voice as a musical instrument", "it is a song completed by exhausting all possible vocal methods. A vocal experiment".

  Anyway, Yan Junze in the previous life hadn't finished listening to it, and got goose bumps all over his body, and didn't sleep well all night.

   Now the screaming sound successfully evokes the frightening memory of his previous life, and Yan Junze feels that he is no better than the girls on the stage.

   "It's too ugly, the voice is terrifying, it's indescribable." Yan Junze turned his head and glanced at Sandy beside him.

  Sandy's mouth was twitching.

  Yan Junze had to admire the girls in the choir. With such a voice mixed in, they actually insisted on singing the song "Santa Lucia".

  The terrifying woman was not standing in the same place, and after a while she came to the back of Ophelia and the left side of Betty, and continued to howl.

   "This weird throat should be burned." Sandy whispered to Yan Junze.

  At this time, the song was coming to an end, and all the singers were sweating profusely, as if they had experienced a war without gunpowder, panting for breath, until Ophelia finally ended the whole song perfectly.

"good!"

  Yan Junze took the lead in applauding while walking to the stage.

   At this time, the other girls hadn't fully recovered, Olive turned to look at Yan Junze, not daring to look at the brown-haired woman in white who was still standing there and hadn't disappeared.

  Yan Junze waved his hand, pointed at Ophelia and said, "Except for the lead singer, the other members can leave first."

  Actually, that weird obsession has been completed, and now Yan Junze just wants to fulfill her other wish.

  After all the other choir members left in surprise, Olive also left the stage under Yan Junze's signal, and returned to Sandy's side, staring at the two remaining people on the stage with some surprise.

  Ophelia still seemed very nervous, and most importantly, she didn't know why this Mister Spirit Exorcist wanted her to stay alone.

  At this moment, Yan Junze approached the lead singer, lowered his voice and said unhurriedly: "Please turn around, say goodbye to this weird lady, and then turn yourself in after the performance at the state banquet."

  PS: When watching this episode, I suggest that you can Baidu the song "Lost Rivers", which is not a song, and read it while opening it, so as to really feel the horror atmosphere. Anyway, I haven't finished listening to it. If you are timid, don't listen to the suggestion. In fact, the singer SainkhoNamtchylak has a very wide vocal range, and her "Old Melodies" is quite nice, which is completely different from the one above.
