musicians of old

Before preparing to explore Yi Chung, Fan Ning recalled the situation after waking up from the dream with Lu and Roy.

He took out the small black bottle obtained from Guidance School, and threw the art museum key inside.

Since the necklace was left outside with the key, the bottle cap could not be tightly closed, and some of the brilliant psychic liquid left inside would soon inevitably transpire into inspiration and dissipate in the appearance of the world.

But in order to verify his conjecture, there is no other way.

In the sleep dream, Fanning experienced dreams and chanted the hidden prayer about "Endless Fugue".

He found the "four-fold line" symbol of the Lord of Witness floating on the edge of the astral world, and then decisively tore it apart.

The burning speed of inspiration accelerated, and the consciousness changed from a lucid dream state to a half-awake and half-fuzzy state.

His spirit floated down on an empty beige wooden stage.

Thick hanging curtains with plant patterns, colonnades decorated with curved plaster lines, walls with stained glass windows, and dome skylights with shimmering light.

On the steps deep inside, there is a pipe organ shrouded in golden mist, and below the stage are rows of long mahogany chairs and a gallery full of candle holders.

"It's this church again."

Fan Ning spread out his palms, concretizing the shape of the museum key in his consciousness.

In the dream, the inconspicuous black key successfully appeared in the palm of his hand.

"There is still no phenomenon of flare mass gathering."

In Fanning's perception, the church is full of inspiration, but it is true that there are no bright spots of various colors floating in the air.

The last effect was only once?
Or is it actually not here, but outside?

He jumped off the stage lightly, walked through rows of long mahogany chairs, and looked at the whole marble door at the door, as well as the spiral groove and the "four-fold line" relief in the middle.

Stretching out his hand on the cold relief, Fan Ning carefully experienced the feeling of being absorbed in the inspiration of his previous work.

The golden streamer has been filled to nearly half of the first ring of the spiral groove, and now continues to "charge".

After stopping this time, the first inner ring of the spiral groove is still not reached, but it is very close.

Fanning remembered that the last time it was not even half.

Added a small-scale reappearance of "Death and the Maiden".

"Can't wait to see what happens if I fill them all up with golden streamers."

"Go out and have a look first." He took a step.

"boom--!"

The "forehead" of Fan Ning's spiritual body hit the stone door firmly. There was no pain, but he was in a trance for a while.

Why can't I go out?

Fanning in the dream was still rubbing his forehead habitually.

Yes, after I "charged" the relief before, the entire gate turned into a wave-like illusory appearance, and the touch disappeared.

This time it didn't happen.

"Shouldn't the progress bar of the pale golden streamer be closer than last time?" Fan Ning wondered.

Could it be that he needs to fill the first spiral with streamer before he can go out again?
Well, in this case, I can't go to the outside world through the church, so if I want to study the key of the art museum, I can only
Fanning walked back to the wooden stage, closed his eyes, relaxed his thoughts, curbed the burning of inspiration, and imagined that the whole spirit body was falling lightly.

When he opened his eyes again, he floated back to the astral world, that is, the ordinary dreamland.

A factory glowing with purple light, the air is filled with the smell of burning, scrap metal barrels and greasy wrenches are piled up under the feet, the steam boiler is humming not far away, and the surrounding black machinery is spliced ​​by huge rivets , the chain runs with dense gears, tracks and steel levers.

The key to the museum is re-implemented in Fanning's palm.

Spots of light from all directions converged towards his hand, among which a more violent stream of purple light came from inside the steam boiler.

That's the edge of the astral world. If you get into the boiler, you can descend to an unknown place.

According to the previous rules, at this time the key to the art museum in reality should already be releasing the brilliance spirit liquid, and according to the amount last time, my small bottle may not be able to fill it all.

However, Fan Ning also had some doubts when he looked at these colorful light spots.

The dream is full of randomness. This time the light spots are mainly purple, which should be the "key" phase, but it is obviously the same as last time, and there are also a small amount of colors of other phases mixed in.

So the precipitated brilliant spiritual liquid should not be a certain phase of absolute purity, right?

He slowly stayed in the lucid dream for hundreds of breaths, guessing that the spiritual liquid precipitated in reality had already overflowed, and controlled himself to wake up.

Opening his eyes, the purple shadows danced in the room.

"No spillage." Fanning got up and picked up the vial, pulled out the necklace, and watched the purple light gushing out from the mouth of the bottle, and even some faint lightning beats.

"Just half a bottle?"

Is the precipitation efficiency different for different aspects of the brilliance?
However, the price of this nearly 20ml "key" phase radiance liquid is probably more than three or four hundred pounds on the black market!
With such an expensive price, it must be very difficult to extract it from the shift, and its function is definitely not limited to activating the shift sign.

At least what can be imagined: it has its role in arranging secret rituals, refining special items or potions, etc.

Even more extravagant, let them transpire directly around him, the intensity of inspiration has a faint increase.

Maybe it can quickly replenish the inspiration consumption of some occasions?
"So... this museum key, even if you don't understand why it 'killed' those two for you at the crossing scene, it points out your path to advancement, and is it a brush?"

What if I let other people know that I have such a key?

This secret is even more important to him.

But for the time being, there is no better way to keep it. It is relatively safest to use it as a necklace, stick it to the skin, and hang it with you. It is normal to hang the key of your own art gallery every day.

The next morning, after dropping Sheeran off at school, Fanning drove to the Woodpecker Consulting Office.

Several civil servants greeted him, and Fan Ning responded friendly one by one.

DuPont and other team members hadn't come yet, so they went straight up to the fourth floor.

Continue to practice revolver loading on the shooting range, and shoot the remaining twenty or thirty rounds.

As a third-level knowledgeable person, Fan Ning's marksmanship has improved rapidly. After the last round of magazines, the fixed 10-meter target has stabilized above the 9th ring.

Then I went back to my 209 office, opened the piano cover, and played the "Twenty-Four Piano Etudes" by the contemporary romantic composer Uquillo, with fast and gorgeous notes flowing in the corridor.

At the end of the song, Fanning hit the thump of chords in the bass area of ​​the piano, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Dupont, a wandering guitarist with long hair, a waistcoat, and an open shirt, pushed the door open.

"Caron, if you are free today, I will teach you the basics of mysticism first."

"Of course, thank you." Fanning stood up, "I'm waiting for you to come over."

DuPont sat casually on the main chair of the desk: "Your first light is the 'candle' phase, right? Can your spiritual sense be used proficiently?"

"Spiritual perception?" Fanning was a little uncertain.
