Chapter 600

~6 min read 1,065 words

'Splash, splash, splash...'

'Splash, splash, splash...'

The sound of flowing water continued,

and the vase held in the human statue's hands constantly sprayed spring water.

Lin Ye and Sakurajima Mai walked in with light steps,

the soft music continued to echo, the rhythm slowly changing from smooth, adding a hint of passion.

'Thump, thump...'

The heartbeat accelerated a bit.

Lin Ye carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Up to now, no existence suspected of being an Eerie had appeared.

"Senior, you stay here, I'll go over and take a look."

When they were ten meters away from the fountain statue, Lin Ye signaled Sakurajima Mai to stop at this temporarily safe position.

The long-haired girl stopped her pace, "Be careful."

She stared at Lin Ye and urged him.

Dangerous things were all tried by him alone; Sakurajima Mai really wanted to help, but her abilities were limited, and facing Eerie events and Eeries, she didn't have much experience and didn't know how to help better.

Now, not causing trouble for Lin Ye was the greatest help to him.

After Lin Ye raised his hand to indicate no problem, he walked carefully toward the statue step by step.

The crisp sound of footsteps rang out rhythmically.

Lin Ye always paid attention to the surrounding situation, but until he reached the side of the statue, no anomaly occurred.

"Will there be a change after contact?"

Lin Ye didn't touch it directly, trying it through the fabric, but there were no signs of infection or other dangers.

The next moment, he chose to touch it directly; the pads of his fingers pressed against the cold outer skin of the statue, hard and cool, just like a stone, with no big difference.

This made the idea he had prepared—to immediately eat the chewing gum to resist Eerie erosion once he suffered Eerie infection—useless.

Lin Ye walked around the statue twice, and several touches didn't lead to any changes; he jumped up to look at the situation on the upper part of the statue, but didn't find anything particularly special.

The human statue still stood there quietly, with spring water constantly spraying and splashing.

'Splash, splash...'

'Splash, splash...'

The passionate background music slowly turned peaceful and then low.

The spraying spring water also slowed down all of a sudden, as if it had lost its impact force, limp and weak.

At this moment,

Lin Ye only felt his emotions become low and dull, his slightly fast heartbeat gradually slowed down, and even his thoughts seemed to have become slow, entering a stagnant state.

"The background music is problematic,"

it has an impact on people's emotions.

Lin Ye gritted his teeth, the slight stinging sensation reminding his brain; he took out the chewing gum he had already prepared and immediately stuffed it into his mouth.

The coolness quickly spread in his mouth, the low and dull emotions were reduced by more than half, but there were still traces lingering in his heart, teasing him, making one unable to lift their spirits.

"Senior, eat the chewing gum."

But at this time, Sakurajima Mai had already sat on the ground, her pretty face sorrowful, her pretty eyes dim, and crystal-clear tears constantly flowing from the corners of her eyes.

"A person like me..."

"it's best if I disappear..."

A soft, mournful whisper emerged, and Lin Ye only felt that at that moment, the girl's figure in his field of vision flickered.

An illusion? Impossible.

"Nobody cares about me, I really..."

'Flash, flash!' Like a strobe, Sakurajima Mai's figure disappeared and reappeared in an instant, in an abnormal state.

Lin Ye quickly made a judgment.

"Senior, eat the chewing gum."

He lifted his leg and charged toward the girl, squatted down, took out a piece of chewing gum, and without caring whether his actions were elegant or appropriate, he pinched the chewing gum with his fingers and stuffed it directly into the girl's mouth.

"Bite it."

He held the girl's chin, forcing her to chew.

Soon,

Lin Ye saw Sakurajima Mai, who had regained a trace of clarity.

"Lin-kun..."

She looked at the man in front of her, and the things that had just happened surfaced in her mind.

There was still a residual tactile sensation on the tip of her tongue, and she blushed; from childhood to now, where had she ever had such an experience with a man!

"The sound affects emotions,"

"Mm."

She knew.

At the moment the music changed from passionate to low, she inexplicably felt uncomfortable and low; the sad things that had happened in the past constantly surfaced in her brain, causing her to only want to cry, only want to weep.

And now, that trace of sorrowful emotion still lingered in her chest, overflowing with bitter feelings.

If it weren't for this piece of chewing gum, she felt she might have been so depressed she would have wanted to commit suicide.

"Is there a way to solve it?"

"Let's try."

Lin Ye had an idea,

"Ahem, ahem, ahem,"

he coughed, and then sang loudly.

Military songs, passionate military songs.

The school had taught many songs, and military songs were the ones he still had an impression of and could sing.

Mighty and majestic, burning hot, high-spirited and forging ahead,

the rough military songs constantly echoed.

The lingering background music had already been replaced by the majestic military songs.

The weak fountain also gained a force, and the spraying intensity became thicker and more powerful,

'Splash, splash... whoosh, whoosh...' spring water flowed and flew.

At this moment,

Lin Ye only felt his whole body burning, emotions constantly surging, the low mood had already disappeared completely, replaced by soaring drive.

The military songs were loud, singing with passion; the cold environment seemed to have gained a burning flame, hot and shooting, fiery red bursting forth.

Sakurajima Mai listened, surging in her heart.

That wasn't a Japanese song, that was a Xia song, but the passionate melody also caused her heart to fly and forge ahead, holding her head high and moving forward.

Music has no boundaries.

At this moment, she realized it, and the trace of sorrow remaining in her heart had already disappeared completely.

I don't know when it started,

the low background music had already disappeared,

and when Lin Ye finished singing this military song, the hot atmosphere hadn't diminished, and the fountain's water was still spraying wantonly.
