Chapter 91 The Drum and Dulcimer (2/2)
The sofa in his living room was actually custom made. It was hollowed out to allow me to hide my whole body inside. Chuanzi hid under the bed.
We only had to wait for Su Yizi.
After half an hour, Feng Chunsheng sent me a message: Su Yizi had arrived.
Good.
I closed the message, and waited for her to come in.
I also cut a small hole into the front of the sofa. Through this small hole I could clearly see the whole room.
I saw Su Yizi enter.
She was still wrapped up tightly to hide her livor mortis.
It wasn’t comfortable, so after she came in, she took off her outer clothes.
She didn't see me after she came in, so she took out her cell phone and began to call me.
Just when she phoned me, Feng Chunsheng's door suddenly closed.
Bang!
The iron door closed.
Su Yizi hurried to pull the door, but it wouldn’t budge.
Hiding behind the sofa, I plugged directly into the power supply.
Suddenly, the sound of rustling sand spread through the room.
“He he…” A strange voice echoed in the room.
”What's happening?” Su Yizi panicked.
The voice of an old woman resounded, ”Su Yizi, you drank corpse oil. You wanted to deceive everyone.”
She suddenly looked up and said, ”I didn't drink corpse oil! Who are you?”
”Ha ha.” The old woman's voice rang again, ”No corpse oil? You lie. You thought you could trick everyone? You can't cheat the person who wanted to help you, Yu Shui. And you can't cheat me. Today, your roommates are coming for you.”
Su Yizi looked around again. She found that the voice of the old woman was coming from four loudspeakers placed around the room. She immediately shouted, ”Yu Shui, are you here?”
She took a step forward, trying to find me.
”My fox…”
A rather hearty but plaintive voice rang out in the room.
”Who are you?” Su Yizi curled up in the corner, looking at the stereo set on the ceiling.
From the stereo came a voice, ”Oh, Su Yizi, did you forget me? I am your roommate, Zhu Wei. You were my friend, and what did I get? You cut off my legs. You cut off my legs.”
”I didn't, I didn't.” Su Yizi cried.
Three more voices rang out from the stereo.
”Su Yizi, return my face!”
”You took away my heart... You took away my heart!”
”Su Yizi, you're a jerk. Where's my hand? I am poor; I became a ghost with no hands.”
All of a sudden, her four roommates found her to demand her life.
She cried and roared, ”Yu Shui, where are you? Get me the hell out of here! You took my money; you must help me to wipe off the livor mortis! Why do you let my roommates' ghosts, torment me? Get me the hell out of here!”
”He he. Su Yizi, why did you peel my face? Why did you peel my face?”
She curled up into the fetal position and said, ”It wasn’t me! It was the curse of the Fox Empress!”
”The curse of the Fox Empress?” The voice of Zhu Wei came out again, ”You can’t fool me! I am from the northeast Fox King’s family. There was never a curse of the Fox Empress; you did it. You did it. All four of us died by your hands.”
This sentence completely defeated her psychological defenses.
She suddenly stood up and said angrily, ”Yes. I killed you! I killed you!”
laughing strange burst of female laughter broke out from the stereo.
This time, it seemed to have completely stimulated her anger and fear.
A person, whether indignant or fearful, was very easy to anger.
She said, ”It was you! You laughed at me all the time; laughed at my lack of musical talent. I was your friends on the surface, but in fact, in my heart I planned to kill you.”
She said, ”You despised me. You said I could not afford expensive instruments, and said I had no money, and said I would never be successful. I hate you! I hate you!”
The voice of Zhu Wei came out again, ”You just wanted to be famous.”
She pointed to the stereo and said, ”Yes, I just want to be famous. Who doesn’t want to be famous? Zhu Wei, you raised two foxes in the bedroom. Your fox told me in a dream how to achieve success in music. I knew I had to kill you.”
I was a little puzzled. What did Su Yizi hear that made her kill her roommates?
She said that fox the told her in the dream that no instrument was as wonderful as the human voice. The instrument was dead; the person was alive. Using a living body component to make a musical instrument would improve the timbre of the instrument a hundred fold.
Aha!
Su Yizi’s four strange instruments were actually made out of her roommate’s missing body parts?
She laughed more loudly. She looked up and said, ”The drum made of a human face, the dulcimer made of a heart, the erhu made of a leg bone, the sanxian made of a hand tendon. That fox said that if I had these four instruments, I could become the greatest artist in the music industry. The timbre of my instruments was a hundred times better than yours.”
