Doll

What... is going on?

Daphne's pupils narrowed slightly.

Shouldn't this guy be dead?

Her heart had clearly stopped beating!

"Miss! Danger! Back off!"

One of the musicians hurriedly called out to Daphne.

Danger?

Where is it dangerous?

Daphne didn't react in time, but the musician standing next to her sensed something and immediately pulled Daphne back two steps. Almost at the same time, several Magic Chains shot out from the snow and twisted towards the spot where she was standing, like giant pythons.

If it weren't for the servants' quick reaction, Daphne would already be entangled in those chains.

But how could that be?!

Daphne was utterly astonished.

Putting aside how He Wei Ni Ya suddenly came back to life, it's important to know that her body is still under their control. Her staff was discarded long ago, and most of the musical notes and scores on her body have been removed. This damage clearly renders her unusable.

So how did she cast the spell without any music, sheet music, or a staff?!

Daphne hadn't figured it out yet, but the four musicians she brought had already taken action, raising their staffs simultaneously, silver notes shimmering on their skin.

[Five Sounds · Magic Cube]!

Amidst the frenzied music, several Magic Power rays erupted from the staffs of the four musicians. These rays connected with each other, forming a 3x3 Rubik's Cube centered on "He Wei Ni Ya".

Daphne, having regained her senses, looked at "He Wei Ni Ya" trapped in the center of the Rubik's Cube. Despite her intense confusion about how He Wei Ni Ya had come back to life and cast spells, she was also filled with a strong sense of unease. This unease made her act decisively. "Attack! Kill her first!"

The four musicians once again urged their staffs on.

The three-tiered magic objects began to rotate, each tier facing a different direction.

So He Wei Ni Ya, trapped inside the Rubik's Cube, had her body parts rotate in different directions along with the cubes.

Amidst a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds, He Wei Ni Ya's body twisted into a bizarre shape.

[Five Sounds · Magic Cube], this was the spell they originally planned to use to intercept Ariana. In order to ensure that Ariana was killed, Daphne's family also sent four of their most important musicians to assist them.

What they didn't expect was that Ariana, their hypothetical enemy, failed to leave the church.

But they want to use such a five-tone magic on someone who has only been a player for a year.

And...

Looking at the body inside the Rubik's Cube, twisted beyond recognition and seemingly impossible to survive, Daphne's unease remained intense.

After all, He Wei Ni Ya's sudden awakening had greatly shocked her.

What's wrong with this guy?

Although Gold Score possesses superhuman regenerative abilities, he shouldn't have been able to come back to life...

Before any further thoughts could emerge, a series of clicks came from inside the Rubik's Cube.

They saw that He Wei Ni Ya's body, which had been twisted by the Rubik's Cube, was returning to its original state at an astonishing speed!

Moreover, not only that, the wounds pierced by the silver threads were also healing rapidly, so the blood threads also broke apart inch by inch, allowing her to slowly fall from the bound high sky.

As she fell, her body returned to its original position, her wounds healed, and her desperate and resentful black pupils once again transformed into elegance and refinement. Her blood-red hair now resembled a burning flame.

How is this possible?!

Even the four well-trained musicians accompanying him couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

It's like picking up a tattered and filthy doll from a trash can, a doll that's been damaged for who knows how many years and is no longer recognizable. After being repaired, it sheds its tattered and filthy state and is restored by an invisible pair of hands to its beautiful appearance when it first came out of the factory.

Even more so...

At least Daphne had never felt that this guy she had been watching for a year, whether in disguise or in his true form, had ever been so dazzling... and terrifying.

Yes, she was afraid.

It was even more terrifying than when I faced He Wei Ni Ya herself back then.

"What exactly are you..." Daphne had lost her composure, her voice trembling as she spoke, "What are you?"

"He Wei Ni Ya" did not answer her, but instead looked at her own body with great interest, muttering to herself as if the people in front of her did not exist at all.

"This body is even better than I imagined. It truly deserves to be the coveted Gold Score." He Wei Ni Ya slowly clenched her fist, then smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's mine now."

The four musicians brought by Daphne exchanged glances.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, He Wei Ni Ya was clearly not the same person as before, and their intuition told them that the current He Wei Ni Ya... was very dangerous.

That's why we can't delay any longer.

She hasn't picked up the staff yet!

After a silent exchange of glances, the four musicians immediately sprang into action. Two of them stood in front of Daphne, while the other two rushed towards "He Wei Ni Ya".

The two musicians standing in front of Daphne were not only there to protect Daphne, but also to use their ultimate weapon.

Yes, the Five-Tone Cube is not their most powerful spell. They can also cast the Six-Tone spell, but that spell has a drawback—it requires a long preparation time.

They originally did not intend to use this spell, but the current "He Wei Ni Ya" brought them a great sense of crisis, which made them decide to go all out without hesitation.

The two musicians were tasked with holding back He Wei Ni Ya and preventing her from picking up the staff. Although she had previously cast spells without the staff, that was a special case. As long as she was a musician, she had to follow the rule that music and staff were indispensable.

Of course, stalling doesn't mean just passively fighting and wasting time; they also cooperated and soon became a front and back line.

The player behind cast a spell called "Growth" on the player in front, and the player in front's body rapidly swelled up like an inflated balloon.

Then the musician in front cast a spell called "Protection" on himself, and a magical barrier with a diameter of half a meter enveloped him.

The area within the barrier provides significant immunity to spell damage and control effects.

The only thing that can work is fists.

So he threw a punch at "He Wei Ni Ya".

He couldn't believe that this doll-like body could withstand such a direct physical attack... not even a normal musician could.

But.

With a "poof" sound.

He Wei Ni Ya's small hand easily blocked his enhanced fist.

His eyes widened, and before he could understand what was happening, he felt a roaring sound in his ears.

It sounded like a machine roaring.

The next second, his right arm, which had been swinging a fist, was easily "removed".

He looked so relaxed.

It was as if he were the puppet.

But in stark contrast to the effortless movements was a far more gruesome scene, with the gushing blood staining half of He Wei Ni Ya's body crimson.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"

The player's hysterical screams were the best illustration of this; all four people present involuntarily stopped what they were doing, fear echoing in everyone's eyes. Daphne, in particular, already had an urge to flee at all costs.

He Wei Ni Ya gracefully tossed the broken musician aside, and what followed only intensified everyone's fear.

Because the musician's staff had already fallen into her hands.

"Then..." she smiled and held the staff in front of her, saying with interest, "Let me experience it too, the melody that belongs to the performer."

I've posted this first, I'll fix it tomorrow.
