Chapter 08: The Song of Voices

... ... The twinkling stars beyond the clouds, let love shine bright, when will this journey of dusk finally come to an end ... ...

In other words, one has completely lost their way

"No, it's nothing." Flora firmly denied, then a look of realization appeared on her face, accompanied by a charming smile. "I see, so that's how it is."

The woman appeared very distressed as she looked at Aaron

Aaron sat cautiously on a soft chair, feeling quite awkward and uncomfortable all over

Senior Noah is my guiding mentor, an object of my deep admiration and aspiration

Welcome to my room, dear junior

Aaron, with a head full of black lines, sighed helplessly and said, "I am coming in." He then pressed his hand against the iron door and pushed it with force, surprisingly managing to open the seemingly heavy iron door with ease.

Aaron, Aaron Gabriel

Who is it

Especially in the main hall, even if tens of thousands gather here for a lively banquet or similar event, it must be a very easy affair, without any sense of crowding whatsoever

Is the night wind a blessing from my hometown, in your embrace, the gaze you long for

This is the sound

May I ask, senior, I ... ...

"Is anyone there?" In the empty corridor, Aaron's voice echoed alone.

In the dream, there is a voice guiding those who have lost their way

No, I am just...

Calm, calm, calm

I am still a fool and a book. Thus, I have become so self-destructive, my will has diminished

Where is the senior? Because the place is too large and the members of the student council are too few, after turning around a few times, Aaron suddenly realized that he seemed to be lost

Thank you very much

As he stopped moving and shouting, the echoes and footsteps all vanished, leaving a silence in the corridor so profound that one could hear a pin drop, and a faint, almost imperceptible sound reached Aaron's ears

Noah. A gasp came from behind the door, seemingly surprised to hear the name Noah

I apologize, I am here to find Senior Noah, but the student council is too large, and I accidentally got lost. Could you please tell me where the senior is? I will leave immediately.

Although he was not entirely sure what Flora's smile meant, Aaron instinctively wanted to escape this place

Perhaps it is because of the great distance that the sound is intermittent and ethereal, like the whispers of the wind, as if it could be scattered with a gentle breath

Of course, please wait a moment while I get the map for you

"Are you joking? This is the Student Council Tower, the largest maze of the Sky Knights Academy. Even if I tell you, without a map, you might not be able to find Noah."

Oh, so it's Aaron. You don't mind if I call you that, do you

The furniture is impeccably clean, with an almost imperceptible fragrance lingering in the air. The arrangement of the furniture is meticulously done, orderly and harmonious. On the walls hang various murals, featuring knights, stars, and landscapes.

Feeling the pitiful gaze of the woman from mhetushu.com, Aaron suddenly sensed that he might have committed some wrongdoing, and a trace of guilt arose within him

Of course. It is not a secret relationship, so Aaron has no reason to be afraid

Every few minutes of running, Aaron would stop, then make an effort to listen intently to the direction from which the sound was coming, adjusting his erroneous course.

By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Flora, Flora Sky

However ... ...

Aaron turned and ran down the corridor to his left, his speed instantly reaching its limit, fearing that the sound might suddenly vanish

As this repeated, with the passage of time, the ethereal sound gradually became clearer

"Completed." Flora appeared somewhat astonished

Since you have come to my room, if you leave in a hurry without being properly entertained, it could greatly harm my reputation if word gets out

As Aaron walked, he shouted loudly, but only his own voice repeatedly bounced off the walls, creating an echo that filled the corridor hall

After entering the internal affairs of the student council, Aaron realized that it was much more expansive than he had imagined

The road I took seems to have vanished, but it has not truly disappeared. Rather, it is because there are too many paths that I no longer know which one I have traveled.

The dark red desk is connected to the bookshelf, placed under the window. On the desk are several rolls of parchment, along with ink and a quill.

Flora first looked at Aaron in surprise, then gave him a meaningful glance, nodding slightly

Aaron waited anxiously for a while, and the voice from behind the door sounded again, "Alright, come in."

Although it is only ten meters, it represents a significant progress

The strange feeling from before, Aaron finally understands now; it is not the room that is peculiar, but the woman before him. She seems to exude an overwhelming pressure at all times, making Aaron feel extremely uncomfortable

When Aaron steadied himself, he saw a woman in the distinctive black uniform of the student council standing opposite him, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall, reaching her calves.

At this moment, shouting loudly should be the best choice. If someone hears their voice, they will likely come over quickly, and then there will be no need to wander aimlessly.

Subsequently, a silence ensued

How did the person who built this tower come up with the idea of constructing it as a maze

Whoever it may be, as long as you are alive, please speak up

Not far to the right of Aaron, there was another bedroom. Although he could not see the entire room, a large plush toy at the corner of the bed caught Aaron's eye

Is that so? Please wait a moment. The woman turned around and began to busy herself, while also reminding, "By the way, feel free to take a seat, there's no need to be polite."

... ...

A sudden shock coursed through him, and he hurriedly wiped away the hot tears in his eyes with his sleeve. Aaron began to consciously resist the song, tightly guarding his mind and no longer allowing himself to be swayed by the melody

Yes

Although he did not know why, Aaron could never feel at ease hetushu .com .com

Upon thinking of this, Aaron could not help but crouch down, holding his head.

The moment Aaron heard the song, he seemed to experience a feeling of his soul being cleansed, as if something within him began to stir, and even his eyes involuntarily became warm and moist

Hello, hello, hello, please respond if you can hear me, I am lost

Aaron certainly did not intend to go in; he simply said, "Please tell me where Senior Noah is, and I will not disturb him."

The window is open, and a gentle breeze flows in, refreshing the mind.

Then, may I ask you a question? What is your relationship with Noah? If it is convenient, could you tell me?

A woman with long hair suddenly appeared beside Aaron, bending down to place a glass of juice in front of him

The intermittent sound amplified slightly, feeling as if it suddenly transformed from one thousand meters away to nine hundred and ninety meters away

"What do you prefer, wine or juice?" The woman interrupted Aaron with a smile.

As the sound became clearer, Aaron's footsteps involuntarily slowed down, eventually stopping in front of an iron gate

The room is quite normal. Although Aaron has never seen a woman's room, everything arranged here aligns well with Xia Li's assumptions

Uncertain how much time had passed, when Aaron came to his senses, the singing had already ceased

No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary room. There is nothing unusual about it

After carefully wiping away the remaining tears in his eyes once again, Aaron stepped forward and gently knocked on the door

Is this the song?

Oh... what is this...

I ... ... cried? And - picture - book

"May I ask where Senior Noah is now?" In order to leave this place as soon as possible, Aaron had to muster the courage to ask.

Although it is still somewhat intermittent, there is no doubt that this is singing, very beautiful singing

... ...

... ...

Here is your juice

After spending most of the day wandering, Aaron decided to head back, return to the starting point, and try again

Excuse me, is anyone here? I am looking for Senior Noah. Is anyone from the student council present?

In that case, juice will suffice

May I ask, is there really anyone there

The woman smiled lightly with her lips pressed together, her black eyelashes fluttering, looking exceptionally beautiful and captivating.

It is as if the figure before me is not a woman, but a terrifying beast of the utmost degree

The song by his ear gradually rose in intensity, as if in an instant it pierced through the hearts of countless people. At this moment, Aaron could no longer hold back, and torrents of hot tears streamed down his face.

Due to excessive force, the iron door was instantly pushed open, and Aaron stumbled in uncontrollably

Thank you. Aaron, who was carefully observing the room, was suddenly startled and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

The sound of knocking echoed through the momentary silence, reverberating in the empty corridor

"Yes, is there a problem?" Aaron asked curiously

This is certainly not good news for him

Suddenly, something caught Aaron's attention.

The sound is coming from this side!

Aaron took several deep breaths, gradually slowing his breathing, calming his mind, to the point where even the sound of his heartbeat became faint, with all his focus concentrated on his ears
