The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 58 I Know This Too

Su Qi looked at the familiar image and confirmed that it was indeed those two people.

They were the tenants in Tentacle Man's apartment.

His old neighbors.

When he and Tentacle Man had left the apartment, they spent several days remodeling them to help him enter the source of collapse.

Of course, Su Qi was involved, and his methods were a bit rough.

"But how did these two guys end up in this instance... on this spaceship?"

Su Qi couldn't help but fall into thought; he also noticed the two words in the manual.

"Cargo... huh..."

At that moment.

[Finding the Employee Management Manual is complete]

[Please keep it safe, as it will be key to your survival]

[Main mission updated]

[Please connect to the system socket in rooms 5 and 6 for ten minutes to unlock some archival information]

Everyone saw the new main mission.

"We still don't know what happened to this spaceship or where it's headed," mumbled Jun Mowen. "But it looks like all the information is in this tablet, and we must unlock its key information to understand everything."

Ye Shou nodded. "As of now, we can only follow the main mission."

Everyone prepared to take a rest before setting off.

Guojiang was asking if anyone was hurt; her skill could restore some Vitality and Physical Strength.

The middle-aged man was chatting with Brother Oat and another person... the three seemed quite distant from each other, each with a generational gap, creating an oddly awkward atmosphere.

"Brother Su, did you discover something just then?" Ye Shou approached and asked.

He noticed Su Qi's behavior in the Hibernation Room and, as a former teammate, he felt Su Qi might have sensed something.

Su Qi spoke indifferently, "It's hard to say, I'm afraid of causing team strife."

"Ah?"

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

Ye Shou was somewhat baffled. "Since when have you been so concerned about the team?"

"?"

Your surprise is a bit peculiar.

Su Qi glanced at the other six people. "Let me put it this way, I suspect that among the eight of us, one might not be a player."

This time, Ye Shou was genuinely surprised. "Not a player? Why do you say that?"

Su Qi briefly explained his findings from the Hibernation Room.

Ye Shou grew wary. "That's the case, but who could it be?"

"How would I know?" Su Qi said calmly. Each person is a composite of countless pieces of information, [?]although they highlight key information, sometimes it's not what Su Qi wants.

So generally, he refreshes it from time to time.

Like with Pig Head Man that time... Su Qi waited until the end just to get all the information.

As for everyone present, their [?]information looked normal.

His suspicions stemmed from the pruned bonsai, just trimmed... [?]it was easy to treat it as key information and display it directly.

"But I think they all seem normal."

Ye Shou looked over. "I haven't spotted any anomalies; could it be some other presence on the spaceship?"

"All possibilities exist, which is why I haven't mentioned this in public. Firstly, to avoid making everyone suspicious of each other, and secondly, to avoid alarming the potential impersonator."

Ye Shou was somewhat moved. "I didn't expect you to trust me so much, Brother Su, telling only me."

Su Qi glanced at him. Above his head [?]it showed that before entering the game, he had bought a pair of Leopard Pattern Underwear.

He patted Ye Shou on the shoulder. "Of course, if someone were pretending, they surely wouldn't pretend to be one of the duo players."

"Just be careful going forward."

"Understood."

Five minutes later.

The group set off again; this time was much easier. The abnormality of sector eight had returned to its room, so they didn't have to pass through the earlier dangerous section.

They soon arrived outside the gate of area six.

The place wasn't large, only two pianos... one splattered with blood stains encased in tempered glass, the other seemingly prepared for the players.

And they also saw the control panel, to the left.

"We need to connect the tablet for ten minutes."

The group slowly walked over, remaining alert, but nothing happened when they reached the control panel.

However.

Just as they had plugged in the tablet.

"Ding ding..."

The bloodstained piano suddenly played two keys automatically, causing everyone's expressions to change slightly as they felt a spiritual impact. Although they didn't lose spiritual power, the connection between the control panel and the tablet broke.

"What's going on?"

"Did that piano interrupt us?"

Jun Mowen reconnected the tablet again, and at the moment of connection,

"Ding! Ding!"

The piano sounded again, this time even more piercing as if it were filled with emotion!

And likewise,

The connection between the console and the tablet was severed once more.

"It has a spirit!" Guojiang blinked. "And look, those two keys are being held down... It seems to be preparing to play."

"Could it be... it wants someone to play with it?"

Jun Mowen looked at the second piano and the music scores on it, pondering.

Su Qi seemed somewhat interested, "It seems it doesn't want us just to retrieve the password, it wants someone to perform a duet with it."

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple." Ye Shou sighed.

At this moment,

Stain suddenly pushed his glasses up and volunteered, "Then I'll do it!"

"I've been studying the piano since I was a child, known as 'Piano Little Fatty,' skilled in various high-order pieces."

He excitedly took a seat at the other piano.

Su Qi paused, he had wanted to go, but since someone else was going, he left it to him.

He cautioned,

"If I'm not wrong, you need to keep up with its rhythm and play for ten minutes to let us retrieve the password," Su Qi paused again. "And you can't miss a single note; otherwise, the connection will break again."

"...That's difficult... I regret this..." Stain's face stiffened.

"Also," Su Qi added, "there might be danger."

At this statement,

The piano keys started to move!

Stain quickly focused all his attention on the music sheet, and his hands began to follow along!

His piano skills were quite good, evidently honed since childhood.

Though there were a few imperfections and panic at the start, he soon caught up with the rhythm.

At the same time, everyone hastily reconnected the tablet to the console.

The sound of the duet echoed through the room, growing increasingly unsettling and eerie as they listened.

"What kind of piece is this! Why does it give a chilling sensation!"

"And... it feels more and more abnormal!"

Su Qi looked intently in that direction,

"It's starting to convey emotion."

The piano sounds continued, growing more intense!

Like venting, like screaming!

From the keys of the bloodstained piano, more blood began to ooze!

The listeners grew paler as they listened, and Stain was already sweating profusely; he was almost unable to keep up, and... the sound seemed to place him in a terrifying dark room, ready to be devoured at any moment!

And at this moment!

His fingers trembled, hitting a wrong note!

The piano stopped abruptly!

"Bang!"

Stain was thrown backward, crashing hard against the wall!

"Ding! Ding!"

The Bloodstained Piano returned to pressing two keys, the sound sharper and filled with rage, as if displeased with the recent wrong note.

At the same time,

The connection between the tablet and the console was severed again.

Watching this scene,

Ye Shou swallowed, asking, "....So, does anyone else know how to play the piano...?"

Three nodded simultaneously.

Jun Mowen said gravely, "I started practicing in junior high. I stopped for a while in college, but I can give it a try."

Yun Zhantian also said, "I've practiced for a long time, our club provides comprehensive training... We must master various skills to cope with odd requirements like this in the game."

While Guojiang was treating Stain and overheard this, both were surprised, "Your club is that professional? It feels less like playing a game and more like grooming all-round geniuses."

Yun Zhantian just smiled without a word.

Ye Shou looked at Su Qi, "Didn't expect Brother Su to know as well; did you also start when you were a child?"

Su Qi nodded, "Sort of, last month because of a certain incident, I bought a music score and practiced it a bit."

"...."

Everyone fell silent.

Then Ye Shou burst out,

"Does that even count as knowing how to play!"
