Chapter 192: Seeding Song
It’s not that Bai Wei doesn’t know about the seed area of Holy Sound, but his understanding is not so profound.
In the Holy Sound chapter of the game, players have no way to reach the seed area. All information about the seed area is fragmented and distributed in the words of various characters and some records in aristocratic documents, allowing players to know roughly where that place is.
And a sentence that almost every character born in the seed area will mention - no matter what, they are unwilling to return to that place.
But it was not until now that Bai Wei could more deeply understand the significance of that sentence.
Especially when the crazy father was dragged away by the servants, and the daughter who was regarded as a breeding object by her father stood there blankly, it was unclear whether she still didn't understand what was happening, or was numb to it and no longer cared about anything.
"It really broadens my horizons." Bai Wei sighed, "There aren't many places that can make me think like this... That girl can't become a performer, right?"
"No." Helvinia answered in her mind, "Not everyone who has a scale can become a player. If the scale's texture is too poor, there's no way to play the music. And most of the seeds that are produced by the interaction between seeds have serious problems with their intelligence. Such people can't become players either, and can only continue to exist as male and female breeders."
"Really?" Bai Wei sighed softly, "How pitiful."
……Pitiful?
A sense of strangeness rose in Hevinia's heart.
She didn't know where this strange feeling came from. Was it because no one in Shengyin thought that anything in the seed area was worthy of pity, only Bai Wei thought so. Or was it because someone as absolutely superior as Bai Wei would actually show such pity?
Hevinia couldn't understand it, but she still silently kept Bai Wei's sigh in her heart.
At this time, the servant who had dragged the father away came back with embarrassment on his face.
"I'm sorry, miss." He apologized quickly, "That guy is not very smart. I didn't expect him to dare to offend you like this! Don't worry, I will..."
"Whatever." Hevinia didn't care. "Since you have already made your plans, I won't interfere. Well, I haven't been here for a long time. I'll go for a walk by myself."
The servant breathed a sigh of relief that Hevinia didn't care, and he was not surprised that Hevinia wanted to just go for a stroll.
He has also been managing the seed area for several years and has long known what his lady's true face looks like.
Once Hevinia suggested going out for a walk, it meant that she wanted to relieve her sexual desire.
What is released is naturally... the desire to kill.
When the servant first saw Hevinia taking action on the eliminated seeds, he felt deeply shocked and terrified.
After all, Hevinia was just a child at that time. It was the first time he saw a child pick up the butcher knife so cruelly and decisively, and swung it at those defenseless seeds. The childish smile with blood made him, as an adult, feel deeply uncomfortable, and he even planned to report it to the master later.
But the servant's thoughts were seen through by the young Hevinia.
He still remembered the scene at that time. Hevinia was playing with the bloody dagger and spoke to him lightly.
"Do you want to tell father? You can give it a try. Father will definitely give me a good scolding when he finds out, but..."
Helvinia paused, then smiled a smile that he would never forget.
"What are you going to do next? This family will eventually fall into my hands, because I am Jin Yin, the irreplaceable Jin Yin."
"So, Mr. Byron, what are you going to do?"
What can Byron do?
A ten-year-old girl is not scary.
But it is terrifying that a little girl who is so sensible and vindictive at the age of ten, and who is bound to become the head of the family in the future, is so horrible.
So at that time he could only bow his head deeply and said to the young girl in a very humble tone, "I understand, miss."
And in the years that followed, Hevinia became increasingly unstoppable on this path.
But after watching it for a long time, Byron got used to it, and even changed his initial fear and uneasiness into joy.
Because when doing this kind of thing, Hevinia would never bring anyone from her family, only a few veterans working in the seed area.
So from this point of view, aren't they the real confidants of the future head of the family who know the true side of Hevinia? Then when Hevinia comes of age and gradually controls the Hero family, Hevinia can change their fate with just one word.
Thinking of this, they no longer felt the discomfort they had at the beginning, and even looked forward to Hevinia continuing to do this and cooperating eagerly, just like... now.
Byron nodded very sensibly: "I understand, Miss."
Then he skillfully waved his hand to dismiss the people around him, took away the maid that Hevinia brought from her family, and then made a gesture of invitation towards the streets deep in the seed area.
"Miss, let me lead the way for you."
If it were usual, Hevinia would happily follow them to the depths of the seed area. Because the deeper you go, the more unqualified seeds there are, and there are seeds that may be eliminated at any time. No matter how many such seeds disappear, no one will care.
All they had to do was close their eyes and mouths and lead Hevinia obediently.
To their surprise, Helvinia did not follow them but stood still.
"This time, I don't need anyone to follow me."
Byron was slightly stunned: "Don't you need us to lead the way?"
“Well, I’ve walked this road many times.”
"But, there are too many mixed people there..."
"What?" Hevinia tapped her staff lightly with her fingers. "Do you think that I, who have already lit up the notes and officially become a performer, should be afraid of a bunch of low-quality male and female notes?"
Byron didn't dare to respond and immediately lowered his head: "Of course not, we are just worried that you will get lost... No, of course you won't get lost."
After dealing with Helvinia for so many years, Byron had already deeply understood one thing, that is, never disobey Helvinia under any circumstances.
Just let her do whatever she wants.
Don't stop, don't ask why.
The only thing a qualified servant needs to do is to clean up the mess for Hevinia afterwards, and before that... hand over the knife.
Byron hooked his finger at another servant, who immediately came up with a box.
The box popped open, revealing a variety of knives, some of which were even engraved with magical runes.
"These are my humble gifts." Byron bowed, "Please choose whatever you like."
Hevinia nodded slightly, glanced at the box, picked up a boning knife at random, and walked into the deepest and darkest alley.
"How should I put it? Although I have never seen the real Hevinia." Bai Wei's voice sounded in Hevinia's mind, "But from the details pieced together from all aspects now, this is not a likable girl. In this respect, she is not as good as you."
Hevinia automatically blocked out the teasing part of Bai Wei's words and focused her attention on the first half of Bai Wei's sentence.
After a brief thought, Helvinia decided to ask directly.
"Can I ask a question?"
"One question is not enough? Ask two." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Don't think I'm a stingy person."
"...Okay." Helvinia asked, "You just said that you have never seen the real Helvinia and you don't know her at all?"
"Of course." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Why should I know about a mentally ill, perverted young lady from a remote place?"
"Then how do you know that I replaced her?" Hevinia asked the question that had been bothering her, but Bai Wei was unwilling to answer. "You obviously know nothing about her."
"Wow. It seems that you think I know your identity because I know the original Helvinia, just like Daphne found out that you are a fake?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "Unfortunately, it is not the case. I really don't know and have never seen the original Helvinia, but... I know you and have seen you."
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly.
Has Visas seen her?
when?
Before that?
Helvinia immediately asked, "When?"
"Well... this is beyond the limit."
Hevinia was slightly stunned, and hadn't reacted yet: "Exceeding the limit?"
"Yes." Bai Wei raised his middle finger, and then manipulated Hevinia's index and ring fingers to slowly bend down, continuing to do the classic finger-hugging-chest gesture, "Have you forgotten? I only said I would answer two of your questions, and now it's the third one. Don't think I'm a generous person."
Hevinia: "..."
For a moment, Bai Wei felt that Hevinia's breathing had become much heavier, and her mood was obviously affected, which made Bai Wei even happier.
"Hahaha, just kidding." Bai Wei said with a smile, "But I really can't tell you the answer to this question, at least not now."
Hevinia took a few deep breaths and quickly calmed down. She said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. I am not qualified to ask you for the answer to such a question."
Bai Wei just smiled.
This question is indeed not easy to answer. After all, he couldn't tell Hevinia truthfully that he had seen her in the game, right?
At that time, she also deceived herself, the protagonist, badly.
But now it’s different, the offense and defense have changed.
…
The deeper you go, the worse the environment becomes.
If the rows of houses we saw before looked like prisons, then these houses deep inside were even more excessive. They were small and crowded, like farms.
In this place, even the sunlight seemed to be dimmed.
However, Hevinia, who had a delicate appearance and seemed out of place in this place, walked very smoothly and naturally. She was familiar with every path and knew every fork in the road.
Because she has walked this road countless times.
Then slowly, Bai Wei heard singing.
No, it's hardly a song.
Because it sounds really bad, like a person who has no knowledge of music randomly clapping the expensive piano keys, or like the inexplicable roar of a wild beast that does not know music.
"What kind of music is this?" Bai Wei asked.
Helvinia replied: "It has no exact name. People here call it "The Seed Song."
"Song for Seeding?"
"Yes, the people here only know what a single note sounds like and have no ability to compose music. This song 'Seeking Seeds' is a piece of music created by the people here by blending all seven notes together."
"Is that so? Then what is it for?"
Helvinia did not answer immediately, but stopped in front of a house with an open door.
The song "Seeking Seeds" was sung from this room.
The room was filled with an indescribable stench and was filled with substances that were either shit or dirt, so much so that if you didn't look carefully you wouldn't be able to see the wriggling figure.
But Bai Wei could see it clearly with his eyes.
Those are two people.
Oh no, to be precise, it's the stud and the dam.
They are engaged in "breeding".
Breeding in this open and undisguised way is like being raised as livestock.
Everything about them is in decay, even the notes on their bodies seem to be fading.
Only their eyes were crazy.
They growled in their mouths, making meaningless sounds.
And that sound was exactly the "Song for Seeding" mentioned earlier.
"The Lord of Holy Sound will not listen to people's words, but only to the rhythm of music." Hevinia said softly, "So the people of Holy Sound will use music to express their respect to the Lord of Holy Sound. But the people here don't know how to make music, so they can only mix the seven kinds of sound together, hoping that the Lord of Holy Sound can hear their voices and then grant them what they want most... the seeds of the seven sounds."
"The closer the male and female breeders are to the depths, the more they hope to obtain the Seven-tone Seed. Because their own talents are not as good as those of the male and female breeders on the outer sides, they don't care about the class or the tone, as long as it is a seed."
"Of course..." Hevinia paused, then slowly moved her eyes down to look at the "soil" of strange colors.
In the soil, one can vaguely see pale dry bones and flesh stained with blood.
“Only those that carry musical notes can be called seeds.”
"The rest can only be eliminated."
The moment Hevinia finished speaking, the "Seed Song" reached its climax, and the breeding male and female stopped moving.
Because the new "seeds" have been planted.
…
Twenty minutes later, Hevinia arrived at a small house at the outermost edge.
This was her former "home".
Hevinia had lived here for more than ten years, but now it had become deserted, as if no one had been here for a long time.
Hevinia stood in front of the door for a while, then raised her hand and pushed it open.
A harsh creaking sound was heard.
Several eyes in the room glanced over.
"Daphne?" the person inside asked.
"Daphne is dead."
Helvinia said calmly.
"I killed him."
