Chapter 463
C463 – The Sudden Sound of the Zither Late at Night It Was Not an Ordinary Zhang Daoqian
That night, a soft breeze whispered through the piano room at Jiangbei University, where a woman in flowing red garb appeared without a sound.
She approached a piano and settled herself slowly onto the bench, her hands tenderly stroking the instrument.
Gazing at the piano, she seemed lost in thought, perhaps sinking into deep memories.
Her fingers danced across the keys, at times swift, at times languid.
Her enchanting face mirrored the music, now smiling, now joyful.
The sweet strains of the piano filled the room, spilling out the window and resonating across the entire campus.
Jiangbei University was especially tranquil at night, making the piano’s melody ring out with exceptional clarity, adding a touch of mystery to the venerable institution.
The music roused countless people from their slumber, eliciting surprise, annoyance, and even curses.
Despite the beauty of the piece, it was midnight, and no one would typically choose to play the piano at such an hour, disrupting the peaceful rest of others.
“Who is this!? Have they no decency, playing the piano in the dead of night!?”
“Hey, don’t knock it. The tune is actually quite nice!”
……
Amidst the rampant speculation, in Building 3, Room 333, only three people remained awake in the dorm after Jiang Hao had moved out: Du Jiaxin, Zhang Daoqian, and Yang Xiaoxiao, all night owls.
Suddenly, the sound of a piano pierced the silence.
Zhang Daoqian’s ordinarily unremarkable eyes flashed with a hint of gold, and he peered out the window with a keen gaze.
Beside him, Yang Xiaoxiao quickly tuned into the piano’s melody, his expression one of surprise and uncertainty.
“Old Zhang, am I hearing piano music?”
He set aside his workout gear and climbed to the window, listening intently.
As the piano’s volume grew, Yang Xiaoxiao’s astonishment turned to excitement, as if he had stumbled upon a great discovery.
“Old Zhang, come quick! Someone’s really playing the piano at this ungodly hour!”
Zhang Daoqian glanced at the glowing talisman in his hand, his expression turning grave.
He ignored Yang Xiaoxiao’s curiosity and simply made an offhand remark.
“I need to use the restroom outside,” he announced, and with that, he spun on his heel and departed.
Yang Xiaoxiao watched Zhang Daoqian leave with a flicker of puzzlement in his gaze. It was common knowledge that their four-person dormitory came equipped with individual bathrooms. So why did Zhang Daoqian feel the need to use the communal bathroom in the hallway?
Unable to make sense of it, Yang Xiaoxiao shrugged off his confusion and turned his attention back to the unfolding drama.
Meanwhile, the melodic strains of the guqin had roused the curiosity of students on every floor. Peering out their windows, they began to chatter excitedly about the source of the disturbance.
Elsewhere, Zhang Daoqian stepped out of the dorm and made his way to the restroom. Once he confirmed it was empty, a piece of talisman paper materialized in his hand.
“What in the world is happening? Why are there ghosts at Jiangbei University?” Zhang Daoqian’s eyes brimmed with bewilderment.
”I just hope this ghost isn’t too powerful, or I’ll be powerless to stop it,” he muttered in frustration.
Deep down, he understood that a ghost manifesting at a university was unlikely to be weak. His thoughts were nothing more than a feeble attempt at self-reassurance.
Muttering a quiet incantation, he affixed the talisman to himself. Instantly, his form began to fade until he was invisible to the naked eye. The talisman he used was none other than the Body Invisibility Talisman.
Now unseen, he leapt from the third floor and sprinted towards the haunting sound of the guqin. Little did anyone know, he harbored a secret.
