Odd Containment Specialist

Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment when she heard Xia Shou's question, and then explained: "This is Sparrow's nonsense. How could he have met Dorian Gray? He made it up."

Before Little Red Riding Hood finished speaking, Sparrow interrupted: "That's right! I went into the wall and Dorian Gray was inside. Why are you asking this?"

"Sparrow...we are here to talk about serious matters." Little Red Riding Hood said dissatisfiedly.

Xia Shou asked directly: "Can you take me to see him?"

Sparrow glanced at Little Red Riding Hood and grinned. His golden teeth were particularly conspicuous among a row of dirty teeth: "No problem for me, but I'm very busy recently... Hey, Little Red Riding Hood, have you helped me find a crew member?"

Xia Shou was too lazy to argue with the other party and said directly: "Take me to see Dorian Gray, and I will get on your ship!"

"Deal!" Sparrow jumped up from the sofa, patted his clothes, picked up the tricorn hat on the coffee table and put it on, and made a weird expression to Xia Shou, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

This was exactly what Xia Shou wanted. He was not sure whether the rumor was true or not, but Sparrow acted so quickly, probably it was true.

Walking out of the main entrance of the club, Xia Shou came to this vast space for the second time. The huge pillars that reached the sky supported the dome that could not be seen for hundreds of meters. The melodious music was faintly heard in the distance. Only when you get close to this sound can you experience its horror.

"But I'll say this beforehand. If you can't get in, that's your problem." Sparrow looked back and said hello to the missionary passing by.

"Mr. Sparrow, today's music is very good. Do you want to go and listen?" The missionary treated Sparrow very politely. As a VIP club member, his status was completely different from that of a quasi-reserve employee like Xia Shou.

"No, thank you." Sparrow smiled and ran in small steps.

Xia Shou followed closely behind. The music in his ears became louder and louder, the rhythm began to gradually deform, and the crying and wailing slowly appeared. That kind of sound and melody, with fear that was not transferred by will, hit him like a tide, and Xia Shou's running steps began to weaken.

He didn't even want to go to the wall. The first time he and Su Weiyu came, they didn't get close to the wall, but this time he had to go inside the wall with Sparrow.

As the choir wall got closer, the details of the scene became clearer. The singers continued to make sounds through their fascia, intestines, throats, and alveoli, accompanied by the friction of bones and scattered hair as strings.

The clear wailing sound seemed to be asking for help. Even though Xia Shou had tried his best not to imagine it, their voices seemed to have their own natural magic, constantly inspiring Xia Shou's associations.

Endless singing and accompaniment... What's the difference between this place and hell?

"Sparrow, don't you feel uncomfortable?" Xia Shou tried to ask the pirate trotting in front in a calm tone.

"I've heard better sounds!" Sparrow made an exaggerated gesture and showed a mysterious smile.

He seemed to have no intention of continuing to expand on this topic. After running down the long stairs, he finally came to the bottom of the choir wall. Xia Shou didn't expect that there was no control near this wall.

At this close distance, the layers of sound heard became richer, and there was even physical discomfort, the bones were a little itchy, the muscles twitched from time to time, and the throat felt like there were ants crawling.

Looking to the left and right, you can see many people dressed like missionaries, dealing with some newcomers. They took off the plaster hoods of those people, and their flesh and blood were regularly torn and twisted under the action of mysterious power, turning into the appearance of musical instruments.

Then, Sparrow walked to a crack in the wall, leaned sideways and squeezed himself in between two singers: "Come here! You can get inside from here."

Xia Shou approached hesitantly and looked at the missionaries not far away: "They don't care?"

"They don't care." Sparrow laughed.

...

In the choir club, Little Red Riding Hood talked about this with others.

"So Faust really went with him?" The man wearing the Macbeth hood sneered, and the others around him shook their heads, as if they were already used to this kind of thing.

"Sparrow really likes to play tricks on people." Don Quixote said.

"Excuse me, what are you talking about? I just heard that Faust is here." Ximen Qing came over and asked politely.

Ximen Qing is very popular in the club because he provides any information and help within his ability for free. He is willing to study everything related to the Root Sea, so some very dangerous knowledge of the Root Sea will be thrown to Ximen Qing by people here.

After Ximen Qing has studied it, he will give feedback to the person concerned.

To them, Ximen Qing is like a poison tester. No one will hate a saint who tests poison for free.

"He and Sparrow went to the choir wall." Little Red Riding Hood answered absent-mindedly.

"Can that wall be approached?" Ximen Qing said in surprise.

"No one forbids you to approach it, if you have the ability... Sparrow, that bastard, just because he can go to the other side of the wall, he makes up those nonsense all day long, saying that Dorian Gray is inside, just because no one can go in with him, these words can be regarded as unfalsifiable."

Don Quixote: "If possible, I really want to meet Dorian Gray."

"Ha! Who wouldn't want to? That's a legendary figure who is still possible to come into contact with now. "The Notes of Dorian Gray"... I really want to know why he left those notes. Is it because of the influence of the diary law? Or is there something else? What other purposes?" Macbeth sighed casually.

…

Xia Shou followed him into the wall. Just a few minutes ago, he actually felt that he was about to collapse. The huge fear and extreme pressure almost crushed him.

He could only hear the wailing sound of the choir wall in his ears, and he could vaguely know that Sparrow was talking to him, and he could also see the movement of Sparrow's lips.

Normally he could even read lips, but now he couldn't even think and analyze normally.

Then, changes suddenly appeared at that moment, the world became quiet, he had hallucinations, and he heard the wailing singers on both sides began to speak to him.

A musical instrument played the piano with his hair, while tilting his head, staring at Xia Shou, and said very calmly: "I am really singing to death, when will I be free... My poetry is the best, I Why sing with such a bunch of rubbish?”

Then, another invisible thing next to him said to Xia Shou: "Listen! Did you hear it? None of us are satisfied. You can't have your cake and eat it too, and wonderful music and liberation can't coexist."

That auditory hallucination again.

The phenomenon of corpse talking that occurs in psychologically stressful situations.
