Chapter 64 Cicada Under the Moon
Master Lin's aura changed.
Previously, there was melancholy and struggle; now, there is a sense of relief and clarity.
The eerie atmosphere that had been clinging to the music box began to melt away with the birth of a new melody, like thin ice being brushed by a spring breeze, and its color became bright and pure.
After an unknown amount of time, Master Lin stopped writing.
He opened his eyes and looked at the now complete musical score on the paper; his eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"It's done..."
He murmured softly, as if fulfilling a heavy vow.
Sadness...Remembrance...
All those emotions vanished, leaving only a sense of peace and relief after letting go.
He picked up the sheet music and carefully adjusted the mechanism and comb inside the music box.
His movements were focused and practiced, as if he were saying a final goodbye to an old friend.
He wants to re-encode the complete song "Cicada Under the Moon" into this box that holds so many memories.
This was a delicate task that required patience and time, so Chen Mo didn't disturb him but simply watched quietly from the side.
As the sun sets, its rays stream through the window, bathing everything in a warm glow.
Finally, Master Lin straightened up and let out a soft breath: "All done."
He looked at Chen Mo with gentle gratitude in his eyes and said, "Young man, thank you. If you hadn't brought it here, if you hadn't said those words just now... I might never have had the courage to face it again and complete it."
Chen Mo shook his head: "It was you who let go, and it was also... her waiting that gave you strength."
Master Lin nodded, his gaze returning to the music box with a hint of reluctance, but even more so with blessings.
He reached out and slowly wound up the spring on the side of the music box.
Click...
Click...
The tinkling music started again, still in the same melodious and melancholic tone as "Cicada Under the Moon".
But this time, the melody is no longer stuck in that regretful, repetitive passage...
The music continued smoothly, with the notes in the second half flowing like moonlight, cool and serene, carrying a hint of worldly wisdom. The chirping of cicadas was faint and intermittent, like a chant of the cycle of life.
The whole piece became complete, carrying a kind of sorrowful yet beautiful quality.
As the last note faded and the lingering sound dissipated in the room, a strange phenomenon occurred.
The last bit of yin energy clinging to the music box, like a firefly that had completed its final mission, emitted a soft, pure white light.
Then it rises little by little, turning into specks of light, gradually dissipating, and finally completely merging into the air and disappearing.
The music box itself seemed to have been relieved of its burden, and even the luster of the wood became a little warmer.
The sorrowful atmosphere vanished completely, leaving only the history and vicissitudes of an old object.
At the same time, Chen Mo sensed that a stream of pure energy flowed back into him along with the dissipating white light.
His spirits lifted, as if he had been cleansed by a clear spring.
[Order: Regretful Echo - Completed]
[Evaluation: Perfectly resolved (reward increased by an additional 50%)]
[Reward: 300 Spirit Coins, Spiritual Enhancement (50% bonus).]
[Note: The reward has been credited to your account.]
The app's prompts appear in a timely manner.
The mission was successfully completed.
Master Lin looked at the music box, now calm, reached out and gently stroked the lid, as if caressing a piece of bygone time.
His eyes were filled with tears, but a relieved smile played on his lips.
"She...heard it," Master Lin said softly. "She finally heard the complete 'Cicada Under the Moon'...she can leave in peace now."
Chen Mo was also somewhat moved as he watched this scene.
This is perhaps the best outcome for dealing with such regrettable incidents.
Instead of using violence to disperse them, we should respect their wishes.
"This box..." Master Lin looked at Chen Mo, "What do you plan to do with it?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment: "It's just an ordinary old music box now. If you want to keep it..."
Master Lin shook his head and gently pushed the music box toward Chen Mo.
"It has completed its mission... Take it with you, find it a new home. Keeping it here will only remind me of the past and make it difficult for me to truly look forward."
Chen Mo understood what Master Lin meant, took the music box, and nodded in response, "Okay."
When we left Tingyu Pavilion, it was almost dusk.
The evening breeze carried the coolness of early autumn, which calmed Chen Mo down considerably.
He carefully placed the music box back in the trunk of his electric scooter before turning on the audio for the live stream.
[Damn it, is this what it's like to watch porn without sound?!]
Help! I desperately want to know what they talked about!
What is it that even I, a member, can't listen to?
"Stop messing around. Recording someone's video without their permission is wrong in itself, and it also involves their privacy!" Chen Mo retorted.
"I'm a model citizen, I have to abide by the law! But if you want to know the story of the music box, I can tell you the story. Would you like to hear it?"
Okay, okay!
【GKD!】
【GKD!】
Tsk, the viewers in the live stream are so easy to please!
As Chen Mo drove, he told the revised version of the story.
Many viewers were moved to tears in front of their screens after hearing the story…
The pure love theme always attracts a lot of fans, no matter where you go.
Back home, Chen Mo checked his personal panel in the app.
His current spiritual banknote balance has become 4200, and to his surprise, the spiritual value has increased by a full 27%!
He sat on the sofa, reviewing the mission.
From retrieving the music box to searching for clues at the flea market, to unraveling the past at Tingyu Pavilion, and finally resolving the issue satisfactorily, the process was not too bumpy; rather, it unfolded quite naturally.
He couldn't help but sigh. If only the other missions went this smoothly...
My phone vibrated; it was a message from Chen Xing: "Bro, really? I can go too?"
Chen Mo smiled and replied, "Remember to bring a warm coat; it gets chilly in the mountains at night."
During his free time today, Chen Mo sent him a message, telling him that he would take him to the ancestral hall to keep vigil on Friday. He probably only saw the message now that he had finished his evening self-study session.
……
Chen Mo became famous, suddenly and irrevocably.
The seemingly unintentional move on Wednesday evening was captured by countless cameras and went viral online at an astonishing speed.
Just one day later, various videos appeared on major social media platforms and short video websites, with clips of "mysterious deliveryman casually defusing a poll office crisis" appearing everywhere.
This led to the resurfacing of his previous livestream recordings, including those about the "Night Crying Man," the "Mirror Hotel," the minibus, food delivery to the cemetery, the neighborhood incident, the Star Dream Park, and the "Evil-Blocking Person," among others.
It even involved three missing college students, who were visited by security personnel...
A series of thrilling experiences are strung together, outlining the image of a mysterious master who walks in the shadows of the city.
The number of fans skyrocketed, and when the live stream started on Thursday, the number of online viewers easily exceeded 100,000, with so many comments that the screen was almost invisible.
Shark Platform seized the opportunity and quickly finalized the top-tier exclusive contract with Chen Mo.
In an instant, the level of resource allocation was unprecedented.
However, Chen Mo declined to arrange for other members to establish a short video studio, since short videos were not his main area of expertise.
Almost overnight, the "Mo Family Army" quickly took shape, with die-hard fans spontaneously organizing to maintain the comment section and promote the live stream recordings, demonstrating astonishing fighting power.
