Chapter 526: Jumo Island (Thirty-Two)

After some observation, the symbols on the stone wall were quickly compared with the marks on the strings.

Uncle Waste Chai's music theory knowledge was quite solid. He got familiar with the banjo in his hand and started playing directly according to the symbols.

The score was not long and could be played in more than ten seconds. The melody sounded a bit strange, but it was not noise.

However, Uncle Waste Chai played it once and waited for five or six seconds, but nothing happened.

"Huh?" He was stunned for a moment and thought, "Why is there no response? Did I play it wrong?"

"Try it again." Feng Bujue continued.

"Well, I'll try it again." Uncle Waste Chai said, and immediately played it again.

But the result was the same...

"Strange, it must be right this time..." Uncle Waste Chai doubted.

"It doesn't seem like it's a matter of playing the wrong note." Hong Hu adjusted his glasses and said, "The melody you played twice is exactly the same, not a single note is wrong, which means the previous one was also correct."

"Then..." Uncle Fei Chai thought for a while, "Could it be a matter of playing method?"

<   "Uh... this... I don't understand." Feng Bujue replied helplessly.

Brother Jue's memory, understanding and reasoning abilities are indeed very strong, but knowledge is the foundation of everything. Since he knows nothing about how to play the banjo, he can't do anything at this moment.

Uncle Fei Chai thought for a few seconds and said, "Well... wait a moment." As he said that, he changed the hand gesture of the hand pressing the string, and then played it again.

This time, before the banjo's lingering sound was over, the light pattern on the stone wall suddenly lit up.

Then. An area in the middle of the stone wall began to slowly sink...

"So you have to pluck the open strings..." Uncle Wasteful shrugged, took the piano off his body, and put it in his bag. "I studied the 'music score' for a long time, but it turns out that you only need to pluck the open strings in the order of the symbols, and your left hand doesn't need to press the strings at all." He paused, then realized, "Wait... In this way, laymen can actually play it, and I don't have to do it."

"That's right..." Tianma Xingkong continued. "But even if I pluck the open strings in the order of the symbols, I don't think I can succeed in one go like you did." He was quite honest, and he smiled foolishly as he said, "Haha... By the way, speaking of this, I remember something... When I first joined the studio, I got zero points in the test for music games. I didn't even press a single note correctly."

"You are really talented... Even if you play Guitar Hero with your armpits and Dance Dance Revolution with your butt, you won't get zero points..." Feng Bujue continued, "And you actually have the nerve to say this. And you smile proudly instead of ashamed..."

"What I'm more curious about is... How did Xingchen, known as the 'star-making factory', recruit you..." Honghu continued.

"That's not easy, I got high test scores for other games." Tianma Xingkong said, "Especially fighting and gambling games, I almost broke the studio's internal record."

"I see... You're good at fighting, and you have good character." Honghu concluded.

Chi——

Just as they were saying these words, the "stone door" in the middle of the stone wall suddenly dropped down, and when it was completely embedded in the ground, it made a "chi" sound, and squeezed out a lot of dust from the cracks in the ground.

Jibe raised his hands twice again, fanned the dust away, and then put away his weapon.

"It is indeed extending upwards..." Feng Bujue took out the catapult while speaking, and used the searchlight on it to shine into the corridor, "The height and width are both about two meters. If you encounter a trap in the middle... it may be difficult to avoid it." He thought for a while, turned around and said, "Here... let me explore the way, you just line up in a long snake formation and follow me."

"Can you explain the basis of this strategy?" Hong Hu asked. He didn't oppose Feng Bujue's plan, but the other party's self-talking attitude and commanding tone made him quite unhappy.

"Huh?" Feng Bujue's expression at this moment seemed to say... "Are you kidding me?"

"Basis?" Brother Jue repeated, took a deep breath, and then replied, "To be more specific... I am fearless in the face of danger, quick to react, agile, and witty. I am fully capable and very suitable for the road-clearing work here." He paused for a moment, and then continued, "To put it simply and popularly... I am bold, careful, and handsome."

"Well..." Hong Hu stared at Feng Bujue with empty eyes for a few seconds, "I have to say... except for the part about 'looking handsome', I really can't find anything to refute your argument. Since you want to lead the way so much, then lead..."

The other three naturally had no objection to who should lead the way. It was a good thing that someone was willing to contribute to the team and take the lead. Even if this person was a narcissist, it didn't matter. After all, he was also a very capable player.

So, the group quickly lined up and passed through the stone wall. The order from the front to the back is: Feng Bujue, Tianma Xingkong, Feichai Shu, Jibu and Honghu. Led by Brother Jue, the group moved forward slowly and gradually went deeper into the corridor.

The corridor was also flat and gray stone walls on the top, bottom, left and right, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Unconsciously... everyone fell into silence.

Along the way, the only scenery they could see was the featureless stone wall close at hand; the only sound they could hear was the footsteps of their companions and their slight breathing.

No matter when you look forward or backward, you can never tell how far you have gone...

In such an environment, people can't help but have some strange assumptions: Am I really moving forward?

"It's so right to come in after eating the meat..." Feng Bujue thought to himself at this time, "This road is much more dangerous than it looks... It has been going uphill from the beginning to the end, and the slope is gradually increasing. There is no reference on the bare walls; the temperature is also changing subtly, getting colder and colder..." He glanced back at his teammates and saw pale faces, "Physical energy consumption quietly Increase, the sense of distance becomes blurred, and psychological pressure... The accumulation of various conditions will increase the physical load exponentially... If you come in without eating just now, the additional impact of hunger will be unimaginable."

He turned his head and looked forward again, and continued to think: "In such a situation, the person walking at the front is undoubtedly the most tired. Because he must always be on guard against possible emergencies, he is bound to be mentally exhausted. Carrying an extra burden..."

Thinking of this, Brother Jue showed a relaxed and proud smile: "Fortunately... I am the one leading the way~" (To be continued...)
