I'm Going to Kill All You Idiots
After leaving Ulysses, He Wei Ni Ya felt unusually heavy-hearted.
Although He Wei Ni Ya had always suspected Ulysses, she never imagined that Ulysses would be so extreme.
"Players are born to play music; I'm just letting them return to their original state."
"What's wrong with you winning?"
"That's right, He Wei Ni Ya."
Ulysses' words kept echoing in He Wei Ni Ya's mind. This was the deepest influence He Wei Ni Ya had had on Ulysses since she came to the academy.
She stopped and looked up at the snow-covered sky.
Although nothing can be seen, one can still feel a powerful and unshakeable force soaring in the sky, watching over this land with indifferent "gaze".
Is that all?
He Wei Ni Ya murmured softly.
She seemed to be talking to herself, or perhaps conversing with another being within her, but still received no response.
In fact, He Wei Ni Ya shouldn't have been so confused.
Because of Ulysses's confession, the current situation is now quite clear.
Before the Grand Ceremony ended, neither of the Primordial Two Great Families could enter the One Academy, and her only rival Ulysses, showed no intention of fighting her to the death again.
Ulysses' twenty years of planning were all for this final three days... or more precisely, the final performance.
By defeating He Wei Ni Ya, he not only made up for the regret of twenty years ago, but also fulfilled the greatest pursuit of his life.
He wouldn't feel regret even if He Wei Ni Ya won, because he lost in such an unprecedented duel. To lose as the performer was also a kind of ultimate achievement.
Regardless of the outcome, Ulysses could accept it readily, which is why he was able to completely leave He Wei Ni Ya to her fate in these final days. Because, in his view, there was no third possibility.
But while Ulysses had foreseen everything, he clearly could not have foreseen that within He Wei Ni Ya's body lay an even higher-dimensional being— Visas.
In Bai Wei's plan, He Wei Ni Ya didn't need to participate in Ulysses' final movement at all.
All He Wei Ni Ya needed to do was play a specific Seven Sound Divine Song in another location before the final movement began, when the Lord of Holy Sound was focused entirely on the temple, in order to take the body part and leave this place, or even leave Holy Sound altogether.
This would naturally also shatter Ulysses' ultimate goal.
Therefore, as long as things proceed as planned, everything will end as desired.
She also believed that Bai Wei would keep his promise, return her body, and find a way to prolong her life.
But...
Is that all?
He Wei Ni Ya pondered this question.
"Miss He Wei Ni Ya."
The familiar voice rang out again.
He Wei Ni Ya turned her head and saw the woman who had served her in the dormitory smiling at her from the side.
He Wei Ni Ya remembered that her name was Maggie.
"Is there something you need?" He Wei Ni Ya asked indifferently.
"I didn't mean to bother you, but there's something I haven't explained yet," Maggie said with a smile. "Although you may already know, just in case, I'll mention it again... Do you know about Color Enhancement Magic?"
"Color Enhancement Magic?"
"Yes," Maggie nodded. "Just as it means, it's a means of adding color to musical notes."
Techniques to enhance musical notes?
He Wei Ni Ya couldn't help but think of Roland, the Ether Family who had disguised himself as an academy doctor and used other people's notes to add color to his own fading notes.
"I think I know," He Wei Ni Ya said. "Is there a problem?"
"It's not a problem, just a small suggestion," Maggie said, bowing slightly. "If you need any enhancements, you can also contact us. We have the skills to enhance any note to its best."
He Wei Ni Ya looked at Maggie and said, "If I remember correctly, Color Enhancement Magic will cause the corresponding player to fade, right?"
"Yes."
So, would anyone be willing to do this?
"Of course," Maggie replied with a smile. "Why not?"
"Was this an order from Principal Ulysses?"
"No, of course not." Maggie shook her head. "Principal Ulysses has never given us any orders. We followed him voluntarily."
"In the capacity of the performer?"
"Yes," Maggie said softly. "We are all performers, we are all notes, and we should all do our utmost to offer music to the Lord, that's it."
After speaking, Maggie bowed to He Wei Ni Ya again, then turned and left.
He Wei Ni Ya didn't say anything, she just watched Maggie's figure gradually disappear from sight.
Further away is the orchestra playing for the main audience.
They were devout and respectful.
It's like piano keys, like musical notes, like a work of art.
Finally, they crawled down and slowly disappeared into the wind and snow.
At the edge of his vision, Auger saw yet another child crawl down and disappear into the snowstorm.
He rushed over immediately, shouting something, but received no response.
Sure enough, by the time he arrived, the child was already completely frozen.
And right next to the child was his father.
He knelt facing the Holy Mountain, trembling as if from the cold or from excitement. He kept muttering something to himself.
But Auger knew he was chanting.
It was following the Holy Sound chanting that fell along with the heavy snow.
Auger wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything because his voice was hoarse.
So he silently shut his mouth, picked up the frozen child, and turned to leave.
Everything was done very skillfully.
Frustratingly proficient.
In the end, he threw the child into a deep pit, a pit already filled with countless children who had died in the same way.
Auger rested his hands on his knees, breathing softly.
"Where's that guy Auger?! I can't see him again."
A rough male voice rang out from not far away, Auger had to immediately perk up, shouting "Coming, coming!" as he jogged over.
Sure enough, the leader of this Seed Zone was already looking at him with great displeasure by the campfire.
"What are you doing!" the leader said bluntly. "Instead of listening to the Holy Sound during the Grand Ceremony, you're running around everywhere! Is this how you repay the young lady's kindness? Aren't you afraid of missing the music she plays?!"
This Grand Ceremony was undoubtedly the biggest event for the Hai Luo Family.
Because He Wei Ni Ya, the eldest daughter of the Hai Luo Family, was among them.
Although due to the lag in information, they still did not know what had happened at the academy, nor did they know which piece of music He Wei Ni Ya was playing.
But all they need to know is that after this Grand Ceremony, the Hai Luo Family's status will inevitably rise significantly, and their own status will also rise accordingly.
So the leader gave an order that everyone in the Hai Luo Family, including the Breeding Male Breeding Female, and even the children who were only a few years old, must listen to the music played by the young lady during this period.
Even if the leader doesn't give the order, the Breeding Female Breeding Male the Seed Zone will listen to the Holy Sound; this is what they look forward to and yearn for the most.
But children are different. Most of them don't even know what the Holy Sound is, yet they are forced to kneel down, forced to listen, and then forced... to die.
Auger desperately wanted to stop it all, but he didn't have the authority. All he could do was carry their bodies back after watching them fall one by one.
Even so, it still aroused strong dissatisfaction among the leaders.
If it weren't for the fact that Auger was ostensibly a relative brought back by the young lady, he would have kicked this disobedient brat out long ago.
"Listen, the young lady asked us to bring you back not because you are so important, but simply because she is kind-hearted." The leader pointed at Auger's nose and said, "The young lady brought back many, many people, and you are the most inconspicuous and the most disobedient one among them. If you miss the young lady's symphony... you know the consequences."
Auger had no choice but to apologize repeatedly.
The leader snorted and walked away.
Auger knelt down in the snow once more and began to listen to the Holy Sound again.
Listening to Holy Sound is not a simple matter, because the melody is mixed with falling snow. You have to be very focused and devout to catch even a fraction of it, just like opening your hand to the sky and waiting for an unmelted snowflake to fall completely into your palm.
Auger originally thought that this matter would definitely not be difficult for him.
Because he had been looking forward to it for a long time, to the melody from Miss He Wei Ni Ya.
He even felt that he must be the person in the world who was most looking forward to Miss He Wei Ni Ya's music.
But when the Grand Ceremony began and the Holy Sound began, he realized that this was not the case.
Those melodies, composed by the most outstanding performers and composers, mixed in with the snow, are indeed sacred and elegant, ethereal and solemn, making one want to kneel down, worship, and kiss the earth.
But Auger had a very strange feeling.
That is, these pieces don't sound like they were played by Miss He Wei Ni Ya.
Even now, he still doesn't know what piece He Wei Ni Ya will play at the Grand Ceremony, or when it will begin.
But he had this thought in his mind.
These pieces were not played by Miss He Wei Ni Ya; Miss He Wei Ni Ya would not play such pieces.
... Why is that?
Auger didn't know.
But he couldn't bear to listen to these songs dedicated to the Lord.
He couldn't concentrate on it and tell himself that it was Miss He Wei Ni Ya's work.
With a "poof" sound.
Not far away, another child collapsed.
Before Auger could even get over, he saw the leader already giving him a warning look.
He dared not move, and could only silently lower his head to continue listening to the Holy Sound.
Only after the leader turned his head back in satisfaction did Auger get up quietly.
If Miss He Wei Ni Ya were here, she would do the same.
Auger said this to himself, and then walked over to the child with practiced ease, preparing to pick him up as usual.
But at that moment, the ice-sculpted adult next to the child suddenly sprang up and tackled Auger to the ground. Before Auger could react, the adult grabbed a rock and began smashing it against Auger's head like a madman.
"Why are you interfering with me?! Why are you interfering with me?!" he roared. "I could just hear the Holy Sound! I could just hear it!"
Why are you constantly bothering me?!
"You're here to stop me from hearing the Holy Sound! You're here to stop me from hearing the Holy Sound!"
The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of others.
The leader immediately rushed over and kicked the Breeding Male to the ground. "Bastard, what are you doing?!"
The Breeding Male seemed to have already reached his limit; after that kick, he was about to collapse, only managing to groan and wail with his last ounce of strength.
"I already heard the Holy Sound... I clearly heard it..."
"It's all his fault... it's all his fault..."
The leader clicked his tongue in displeasure, then turned to Auger: "I told you long ago, don't meddle, don't meddle, you are... um?"
Auger did not respond.
He lay there in the snow, holding the dead child of the Breeding Male in his arms.
The blood stood out starkly against the snow.
He Wei Ni Ya silently watched the blood in the snow as a dead man was dragged away by two other musicians.
They were all students of Ulysses.
"What's going on?" she asked Maggie, who was beside her.
"You don't need to worry about it," Maggie said with a smile. "It's just a small matter that has been dealt with."
"A small matter?"
"Yes." Maggie didn't hide anything from He Wei Ni Ya. "She's just a poor soul who has strayed from the path of a musician."
Could you explain it more clearly?
He wanted to leave.
"Why?"
"Love? Family?" Maggie shrugged. "We're not sure either. Anyway, when we found him, he was already trying to leave, so we helped him change course."
"I still don't understand," He Wei Ni Ya asked. "Is it because he developed feelings that he has to die?"
"No, of course not." Maggie shook her head. "It's because his notes are of such high quality that we need to save them for you to enhance your work."
"I didn't say I wanted to enhance the appearance."
"You just haven't asked for it yet," Maggie said with a smile. "If you do ask and we can't provide it, that would be our dereliction of duty."
He Wei Ni Ya's pupils narrowed slightly. "Just because of this?"
"Yes," Maggie said. "We are the players, the players who are meant to perform the greatest and most exquisite pieces. We cannot allow anyone to fall behind at this time. If anyone does, we will bring them back to the right path, just like we are now."
"I see," He Wei Ni Ya asked. "Then what note are you on?"
"The Three Sound".
"Then how about I enhance it with your notes?" He Wei Ni Ya gazed into Maggie's eyes, "The most exquisite kind."
"Of course, no problem." Maggie took out the dagger she had prepared beforehand, smiled, and handed it over. "You can take it anytime."
He Wei Ni Ya fell silent.
For a moment she was dazed, unsure whether the person standing in front of her was Maggie or Anita.
Or perhaps... everyone.
She stared silently at the dagger Maggie had handed her, and in its pale reflection, He Wei Ni Ya saw her own face and that star-like pupil.
In that instant, she seemed to understand something.
Then he burst out laughing.
"Hehe... haha..."
This was a genuine laugh, so much so that she had to cover her stomach to avoid bending over with laughter.
Faced with this unexpected situation, Maggie remained calm, a faint smile on her face, and continued her bent-over posture, like an ice sculpture or an Eternal Note, showing no reaction to He Wei Ni Ya's actions.
He Wei Ni Ya was still laughing, laughing until tears streamed down her face.
"I'm such an idiot, really... I always overcomplicate things, so much."
"I made the decision a long time ago, but I just couldn't figure it out at the last minute."
"Hmm... it's probably because of him. I've spent so much time with him that I've almost forgotten what the world is really like."
He Wei Ni Ya's voice softened slightly as she gazed at Maggie before her and spoke softly.
"Thank you for reminding me of my original intention."
Maggie looked up at He Wei Ni Ya and asked with a smile, "What was your intention? Was it related to the music? If you could, could you tell me? I can help you with your advice... before you make the cut."
"Of course." He Wei Ni Ya pressed her finger to her lower lip, trying to think of something. "Let me think how to describe it... Ah, I remember now."
She thought of the adjectives Bai Wei liked to use, so she happily snapped her fingers, pointed at Maggie with a bright smile, and then said seriously.
"I'm going to kill all of you idiots."
