Self-Destruction

Actually, before Molly took off her clothes, those present had a vague idea of what was going on.

But when she actually took off her clothes and revealed the conspicuous tumor to everyone, they still gasped in shock.

The only one who was happy was Ka Lun, who chuckled as he stroked his greasy chin, "I didn't expect to actually win the lottery. You're lucky too."

Ka Lun's words made Molly's face turn even paler. Finnis also gave Ka Lun a cold look, but didn't say anything to Ka Lun. Instead, he said to Molly in a cold tone, "Since you've become like this, there's nothing more to say. Please leave."

Molly panicked even more, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, Lord Finnis, please, don't send me away. I'll be cured in a month, really, I will!"

Before Finnis could speak, Ka Lun chuckled and said, "You underestimate me. If it were that easy to cure, why would I keep this thing? Just for show?"

"...No, it can be done, it can be done!" Molly's lips trembled as she shook her head repeatedly, pleading with Finnis to let her stay. When Finnis remained unmoved, she immediately turned to He Wei Ni Ya. "Miss He Wei Ni Ya, please help me. Please, please help me. I really can't lose this opportunity, I really can't..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on He Wei Ni Ya.

Everyone here knows that Molly is He Wei Ni Ya's sidekick, at least on the surface.

Molly was able to stay in the orchestra because He Wei Ni Ya chose a piece that suited her.

So naturally they wanted to know He Wei Ni Ya's decision.

But things had already progressed to this point, what decision could He Wei Ni Ya make? She simply shook her head calmly and said, "I can't either, Molly. I don't care about your appearance, but your voice is completely out of tune. You should know that you absolutely cannot participate in the Grand Ceremony in this condition, especially since our piece is the final Final Chapter dedicated to the Lord. Do you want to offend the Lord?"

He Wei Ni Ya's words effectively shattered Molly's last glimmer of hope.

Yes, what they are about to play is the Final Chapter dedicated to the Lord.

If someone like her were to appear before the Lord, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Molly's throat moved.

She seemed to want to say something more, but she knew it would be useless to say anything, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

"Let's leave here," He Wei Ni Ya said.

Molly slowly lowered her head. "I... understand."

No, you don't know.

Molly subconsciously looked up and saw He Wei Ni Ya slowly walking up to her, looking down at her "friend" whom she had only known for a month. "I'm not talking about leaving this classroom, I'm talking about leaving this academy."

Molly's mouth widened slightly. "You mean..."

"Stripping Note, leave this academy, and become an ordinary person," He Wei Ni Ya said calmly. "You should know that the poison has completely entered your musical notes. And you are not Ka Lun. If you don't destroy the musical notes in time, your final fate will be that your whole body will fester and you won't even be able to save your body."

Molly's body trembled more and more violently.

Because she knew that what He Wei Ni Ya said was true, but she still couldn't accept it.

"To become an ordinary person, to become an ordinary person..." she murmured softly, "I finally got here, I finally got the qualification to enter the Inner Melody, I was about to, almost had a different life... And now, you're telling me to become an ordinary person, to become an ordinary person..."

He Wei Ni Ya's expression remained calm. "I understand you, and for the sake of our relationship, I'm willing to help you."

"Help... me?" Molly looked up at He Wei Ni Ya again, a glimmer of light appearing in her eyes. "Can you cure this disease for me?"

"No." He Wei Ni Ya shook her head. "The only thing I can do is have my family give you a job after you become an ordinary person, if you need it."

The glimmer of light disappeared.

"Oh... I'm just giving you a regular job," Molly said softly. "It's just a job."

He Wei Ni Ya didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Molly.

Molly's body began to tremble again, and the trembling became more and more violent.

"Why... why is my future gone like this?" she said softly. "I finally got here, I finally got to this point, I was just one step away from it."

Finnis, standing to the side, looked coldly at Molly: "You're asking for trouble. No one here has wronged you."

"Asking for trouble?" Molly suddenly laughed. "Mr. Finnis, you really can say that... Why can you pretend you know nothing about what Mr. Ka Lun is going to do to me?"

Finnis narrowed his eyes slightly. "What are you trying to say?"

"What do I want to say?" Molly slowly stood up, her desperate eyes revealing madness. "Mr. Ka Lun ... no, that fat pig."

She suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Ka Lun's face.

"Don't you know what that fat pig is trying to do to me? You were right there listening to him those times he approached me privately, those times he pressured me. You clearly knew everything!" Molly's voice suddenly rose. "As the captain, did you stop him?"

Finnis said coldly, "Has the tumor damaged your brain? What does your deal with him have to do with me? Why should I stop you? I advise you to think carefully before you speak."

"Think it through? I've thought it through all too well, Mr. Finnis," Molly said. "Mr. Finnis, knowing full well that this fat pig has been pressuring me, you not only didn't stop him, but you also privately approached me several times, telling me I must consider the overall situation of the orchestra. What does that mean?"

"I just don't want your relationship with Ka Lun to affect the band."

Molly smiled.

This was the first time He Wei Ni Ya had ever seen her smile like that.

Such a manic, reckless smile.

"Mr. Finnis, do you think everyone else in the world is a brainless fool except for yourself?" Molly said. "Do you really believe that no one can guess what you're thinking?"

"What I'm thinking is something a guy like you couldn't possibly know." Finnis's eyes were full of threat. "But if you keep spouting this nonsense, I'll make you pay."

"... The consequences?" Molly laughed even harder. "My life is ruined, and there are hardly any survivors in my family. Why would I be afraid of your threats? Ah..."

She looked at He Wei Ni Ya.

"Miss He Wei Ni Ya, do you know? That fat pig has never wanted me, but you. You are the one who interests him more. And that's what he's always planned. He intends to use the threat of leaving the orchestra to coerce you when the rehearsals are in the last week, the Grand Ceremony is about to begin, and there's no way to change the person."

"From the very beginning, he didn't want any Grand Ceremony rewards, nor did he want revenge against the Chu Ke Family. Those were all just excuses and pretenses. All this guy wanted to do was destroy everyone he wanted to destroy!"

Upon hearing this, Ka Lun, who had been watching the show with amusement and didn't care at all even when being called a fat pig, gradually stopped smiling, and her eyes turned dangerous.

"By then, if he leaves, the orchestra will inevitably fail because no one can replace him. That's why he can use this excuse to control everyone. Even if you disagree, it doesn't matter; he can ask Finnis. Finnis to help him do the same thing to me. If you don't agree, they have plenty of ways to threaten you—their family, their personal safety. If you refuse all threats, they'll use drugs..."

"Enough!" Enraged, Finnis raised his staff and unleashed a Wind Blade.

Molly had no time to dodge.

But He Wei Ni Ya also took out her staff and casually waved it, shattering Finnis's Wind Blade.

Finnis was stunned. He looked at He Wei Ni Ya, but He Wei Ni Ya had her back to him, so he couldn't see her expression.

"Go on," He Wei Ni Ya said calmly. "What else does he plan to do?"

Molly could sense that Finnis's Wind Blade was aimed directly at her vital points.

Finnis wanted to kill himself.

This drove Molly even crazier, and she pulled a gray crystal bottle from her pocket and waved it in front of He Wei Ni Ya.

"This drug was given to me by that fat pig," Molly said. "He knows you and I are close, so he asked me to find a chance to drug you."

He Wei Ni Ya looked at the medicine bottle in Molly's hand. "It seems you've agreed."

"Yes." Molly didn't deny it, but said quite readily, "Of course I won't refuse, but He Wei Ni Ya, you won't ask why, will you? I've never considered you a friend, just as you've never considered someone like me a friend."

He Wei Ni Ya was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Indeed."

"I knew it, I've always known, you're smarter than them all."

"...But I still don't quite understand," He Wei Ni Ya said. "What's the point of saying all this now? Aren't you afraid they'll retaliate against you?"

"Revenge against me? Haha... How could they possibly get revenge on me?" Molly laughed even harder. "They're all self-important guys, especially Finnis. He Wei Ni Ya, do you know what Finnis's most important reason for choosing band members is? Is it talent? No, no, no, it's not. His primary criteria are those he thinks are easy to control. For example, those with families, relatives, and who can be found by the Lawrence Family at any time."

"That way he can use his family to threaten others, and I suppose the others present would do the same."

"But what he didn't know was that I had known this about him all along, so I pretended to have family and people to care about, and that's how I actually got his invitation."

"But he doesn't know that my family is all dead. I ran away here by stealth and I'm still in debt. If I can't graduate from the academy, my life is over. Hahaha, it's all over." Molly's smiling eyes glistened with tears. "So, my life is ruined, completely ruined. Without the identity of a musician, I have nothing left."

"Why should I, who have nothing, be afraid of you?"

"What am I trying so hard to be the person you all like? Constantly chasing after a girl younger than me, calling her 'sister,' being pinned down and abused by a fat pig, and then being oppressed by a hypocrite—for what? I don't know, I really don't know... But now, it doesn't matter anymore, it really doesn't matter anymore." Molly shook her head and backed away. "Whatever, whatever!"

She was like a madwoman, shouting loudly, crying and laughing at the same time.

Even after running a long time away, I could still hear her voice.

"I work harder and I'm smarter than all of you! I won't die a pathetic death, absolutely not!"

"Hahaha... hahaha..."

Molly's voice slowly faded away.

The classroom was completely silent.

The remaining three Silver Sound Player dared not speak, keeping their heads bowed tightly, afraid of being noticed by the three Golden Sound players.

Finnis and Ka Lun's faces were extremely gloomy.

They all stared at the only person standing in the classroom— He Wei Ni Ya.

He Wei Ni Ya took a deep breath, then spoke softly, "Mr. Finnis, Mr. Ka Lun, is what Miss Molly said... all true?"

Finnis stared coldly at Ka Lun.

Ka Lun shrugged and quickly regained her composure.

"It's just a girl talking to herself before she goes crazy," he said with a light laugh. "Why should I care? Miss He Wei Ni Ya, I admire you greatly, and even if I were to have a relationship with you, I would absolutely not..."

Before Ka Lun could finish speaking, she saw thin lines of blood seeping from her thick fingers.

He hadn't reacted yet.

With a "thud".

One of the fingers was severed.

Ka Lun froze, then immediately looked up and saw that He Wei Ni Ya had already pointed her staff at him, and a beam of light was beginning to gather at the tip of the staff.

"Wait, He Wei Ni Ya!"

Finnis immediately stepped in front of Ka Lun and activated a Magic Power shield.

With a loud "boom".

He Wei Ni Ya's Movement Spell struck Finnis's Magic Power shield.

The Magic Power spread, leaving the entire classroom in a mess.

The six musicians who had been waiting outside rushed in immediately, only to be stunned by the scene inside.

Ka Lun finally realized what was happening.

He Wei Ni Ya... really wanted to kill herself.

"You bastard!" Ka Lun roared at He Wei Ni Ya, "You crazy woman! How dare you lay a hand on me?!"

"What a pity." He Wei Ni Ya slowly put away her staff, her tone calm. "It was just a little short."

Finnis glared angrily at He Wei Ni Ya: "He Wei Ni Ya! Everything that woman said was just empty talk. Did you really have to go this far?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Finnis, but I really can't accept this," He Wei Ni Ya said coldly. "There's no need for Mr. Ka Lun to coerce me again. Our agreement is over, and I'm withdrawing from this Grand Ceremony."

After saying that, He Wei Ni Ya left the classroom without looking back, under Finnis's shocked and angry gaze.

The commotion in the classroom was quite loud. Everyone saw He Wei Ni Ya walk out of the classroom with a furious expression, and they all began to speculate about what had happened.

In less than half a day, the matter quickly escalated and became known throughout the entire college.

The fact that Finnis's subsequent visits to the Girls' Dormitory to request a meeting with He Wei Ni Ya, which were not accepted by He Wei Ni Ya, further confirms the authenticity of this matter.

In other words, with less than a month to go before the Grand Ceremony, the band with the best chance of winning the championship disbanded due to internal strife.

All of this happened too suddenly.

Everyone was discussing this sudden event with great interest.

Only He Wei Ni Ya, back in her dormitory, remained calm.

Because she did it on purpose.

Only in this way can she rightfully disappear from everyone's sight.

Then the final hunt begins.

One day later.

Molly was found dead in her dorm room.

The reason was suicide.

Inside the room, He Wei Ni Ya watched as Molly's body was carried away, her eyes as cold as the wind and snow.
