Chapter 236 Play the divine song!
For a moment, Helvinia felt like she was really going to die.
Such a large-scale [Domination] was still a huge burden for Hevinia even if the dominated were a group of corpses whose souls were almost exhausted. She felt her heart stop for a few seconds when the release was completed.
She looked at the broken limbs of the Eternal Notes around her.
From her perspective, these broken limbs seemed to be pushing her to the bottom of the abyss, leaving her with no chance of recovery.
But at the same time, it seemed like a hand reaching out to her in desperate situation.
Hevinia reached out her hand, grabbed one of the arms, and then slowly exerted force, finally pulling herself out of the corpses at the bottom.
Dried blood and powdered flesh quickly fell off her body.
Just like that, Hevinia climbed out of the deep pit, stepping on countless broken limbs, and returned to the golden light of the Eternal Hall.
But before Hevinia could catch her breath, a very weak male voice sounded behind her: "Which body part do you...have?"
Hevinia turned her head and looked with slight surprise at Raoul, who had been torn into pieces by countless hands and now only had a small part of his upper body left, hanging on the arm of one of the Eternal Notes.
Isn't he still alive?
Hevinia thought it was another Caesar and was about to use [Watch] to take another look, but she found that [Watch] had been turned off.
It was Bai Wei who turned it off for her.
Although Bai Wei did not say anything, since he had already turned off [Attention] for her, it meant that in Bai Wei's view, Raoul no longer posed any threat.
Perhaps it is just a candle that has not been extinguished temporarily with the help of the eternal note.
"Does it matter?" Helvinia asked.
"Is it important..." Raoul gently closed his eyes, "Ah, yes, it's already like this, those things are really not important anymore."
After a short silence, he opened his eyes again and asked in an extremely hoarse voice.
"I never thought that I would die in a place like this, and die in your hands. Can you tell me if you were sent by the principal?"
Helvinia shook her head.
"Haha, I think so, I think so." Raoul laughed. "If it was just for others, I wouldn't risk my life to this extent... even if that person was the principal. Just like me back then, although I always believed that the principal was the greatest performer of this era, I didn't want to be just a small note in his history, so I... haha. Very good, really good, at least I was killed by a more outstanding me, not by the symbol of the principal."
Hevinia said nothing, just looked at Raoul quietly.
"But... unfortunately, you still became the principal's pawn." Raoul said, "He used you to kill me, the one who was most likely to stop him. At the same time, he also used me to kill you, who was more likely to hinder him."
It was a rather confusing sentence, but Hevinia still understood what he meant.
"We are killing each other, and he will get what he wants, the thing he didn't get 20 years ago." Raoul said while coughing up blood, "After fighting to this extent, we are all losers, really... We are all losers."
"Perhaps."
"Haha." Raoul continued to laugh, "But it's not completely hopeless. I still have one last trump card..."
Helvinia calmly pointed out Raoul's trump card: "Eye of Ritual."
"Haha, you know, you really do know." Raoul said, "Ahem... This is what I originally prepared to deal with the principal, but unfortunately..."
As he spoke, he tore off his tattered shirt, revealing a small golden logo on his collarbone.
That is the Eye of Ritual.
With this, one is able to receive the power of the eternal note.
"The reason why I didn't point you out and tried every means to delay the ritual was for this." Raoul said, "It was not only to get rid of you more reasonably, but also to guard against the principal. If it weren't for you, I would have no reason to come here to complete the ritual of the Eternal Note, but I didn't expect... that I would actually die in your hands."
Raoul's coughing became worse.
Even without using [Contemplation], Hevinia could clearly feel that Raoul's last bit of life was about to completely dissipate, and he would not live much longer.
"In that case, I'll just give it to you," Raoul said, "and you go and stop the principal."
"...Why?" Helvinia asked, "Aren't my goals and the principal's goals the same?"
"Haha, maybe it's because I don't want to see him win everything." Raoul said lightly, "As his least promising student, I also hope to prove something to him in the end... ahem, or rather, I want to see you win more than the principal... As I said just now, in my eyes, you are another me. So... take this thing, and then beat the principal."
Hevinia nodded slightly, and then slowly walked in front of Raoul.
Raoul looked at her with gratified eyes, like a kind teacher looking at his beloved student.
"Very good, very good." Raoul stretched out his hand to Helvinia and said softly, "Prove to the principal that we... are not dispensable notes."
Hevinia slowly lowered her head.
The smile on Raoul's face grew wider, and as he looked, the nails of the outstretched hand were growing rapidly.
But then, there was a "puff" sound.
Raoul's smile froze.
He slowly lowered his head and saw that Helvinia's staff had pierced his neck.
"You... why?" He looked incredulous, "How did you know..."
"I don't need to know." Helvinia said calmly, "I only know that if you die, I can hold it more securely."
Raoul's expression became even more distorted, and he rushed towards Hevinia with all his strength: "Give me Visas' body parts!"
It was a pity that he didn't meet Hevinia, and was once again split into two by Hevinia.
Only then did he die completely.
"Unfortunately, Visas' body parts won't keep you alive."
Hevinia paused, then spoke softly.
"Of course, me too."
Then she leaned down and extended her hand toward the Ritual Eye of the Eternal Note.
…
"There has been no movement in there for a long time."
"How is the Dean? Is he okay?"
"What are you talking about, how could the provost lose to a bitch like that?"
"…Are you sure she is a woman?"
Outside the Hall of Eternal Notes, the orchestra that was about to play the first inner song was waiting anxiously.
The leader, Jin Yin, was the woman from the Ether family.
She was the most uneasy of all the people present.
Because the others were all Yinyin, they were theoretically much safer than her.
So she really wanted to leave directly like Phoenix and seek refuge with her tribe members.
But it doesn't work.
Because she will lead the orchestra to play the first inner song to welcome the coming of the Lord.
If she ran away, she would definitely become the biggest sinner.
So she could only hope that the Dean of Studies could get rid of Hevinia as soon as possible.
After all, time is really running out.
Perhaps sensing her inner call, the door of the hall was finally pushed open.
Everyone looked over with great anticipation, but their expressions froze at the same time, especially the woman, whose eyes were filled with deep fear.
Because the person who came out was Hevinia.
She was covered in blood, like a demon from hell, and even her eyes could kill people.
So when Hevinia's eyes fell on the woman, her legs went weak and she couldn't even stand steadily.
But Hevinia made no move.
She just glanced at all of them, her gaze lingering on the woman for a little while before she looked away and walked past everyone with an expressionless look.
The strong smell of blood made the people present dare not make any move.
But Hevinia still did nothing, just left a sentence.
"Go on playing."
"The ceremony continues."
…
Helvinia walking in the academy.
Given her current physical condition, she could no longer keep [Gaze] on and could only follow the finger, which was Bai Wei's guidance.
Quiet, very quiet.
Even though Bai Wei was helping to watch over her, she would not go directly to the school workers or the guards of the Taichu and Taichu families.
But the academy was still too quiet.
There were few people on the main roads.
The air smelled of blood... and it wasn't Helvinia's blood.
This made Hevinia guess something.
But she didn't say anything and continued walking. Then, under Bai Wei's guidance, she returned to the dormitory.
She was not surprised at all. She walked forward and slowly opened the door, just as she had done countless times in the past two months.
A stronger smell of blood hit me in the face.
Hevinia continued to move forward and finally saw the person she was looking for - Anita, at the place where she had been sitting.
Anita was sitting there as usual, holding a half-cup of black tea, and seemed to have been waiting for Hevinia for a long time.
Only after seeing Helvinia did she put down her teacup, smiled and said, "Congratulations on your success, Helvinia."
Hevinia said nothing, but her eyes gradually moved downward.
Then I saw Phoenix.
To be precise, it was Phoenix's head.
Continue moving down.
Corpse.
More bodies.
Chu Hakka, Ether, Lawrence.
Dozens of janitor bodies were piled up here, and the spilled blood covered the entire hall, the color as bright as the black tea in Anita's cup.
"It seems you succeeded as well," Helvinia said.
"It's just a small matter." Anita said with a smile, "It's not difficult to deal with a group of guys who were scared by you. And the biggest obstacle has been eliminated by you, right? To be honest, if you lose, I really don't know how to deal with the Dean who has the blessing of the Eternal Note. But now the Ritual Eye of the Eternal Note is on you, right?"
Helvinia did not deny it.
"Very good." Anita nodded and said with a smile, "It seems that you also know how to use the Eternal Note. I don't need to tell you again."
Hevinia shook her head, then looked at the dead players again, and asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"
"I told you the reason a long time ago," Anita said, "The meaning of the player."
"Do you think they can no longer be considered players?"
"Of course." Anita said, "The Seven-tone Divine Comedy has not appeared for hundreds of years, because no one wants to see the Lord grant wishes. Even the two great families of Taichu are trying their best to stop it. This is why Principal Ulysses failed twenty years ago. So this time, if we want to see the Seven-tone Divine Comedy again, we must clear all obstacles."
Helvinia asked, "Is this your idea or Principal Ulysses's?"
"I don't have any idea." Anita said with a smile, "Do you remember what I told you before? I'm not the outstanding performer that the principal expected, and I'm not too moved by the pursuit of ultimate music, but... I can't be, and I don't need to be, that kind of performer. I just need to work hard to meet the principal's expectations. The principal wants to see the Seven-tone Divine Comedy again, so I'll help him see it. Twenty years ago, these people stopped the principal, so I'll help him get rid of them. It's that simple."
"It sounds like you live only for him," Helvinia said.
"Of course," Anita said. "Miss Helvinia, have you ever been to the seed section?"
“I grew up in the seed area.”
"Sure enough, I also feel a familiar aura in you." Anita said with a smile, "If you grew up in the seed area, you would understand me better. Born from such a cesspool and such mud, I should have been a hopeless person, but the principal found me and gave me everything."
"That's because you're a golden voice."
"No, my musical notes didn't show up at that time. My master didn't want me anymore. I clearly remember being thrown into a corpse pit with a layer of dirt covering my body." Anita said, "It was the principal who brought me out. He gave me hope and a new life... Miss Hevinia, have you ever had such an experience?"
Helvinia said nothing.
"I guess not." Anita said with a smile, "If you have, you will naturally understand what I mean...everything has been destined since I met him. This is my luck and also my...destiny."
As she spoke, she stood up and took out her staff.
"So." Anita's staff glowed faintly, and the faint light transformed the staff into a dagger. At the same time, she said softly, "From that moment on, I am willing to give everything for the principal."
Hevinia said nothing. She silently lit up her staff and glanced at the time.
One more hour.
The Lord of Holy Sound will awaken.
This should be the final battle.
Helvinia took a deep breath and prepared for the fight.
Then, she saw Anita with a smile on her face.
He stabbed the conjured dagger into his neck.
Hevinia's pupils suddenly froze.
"Haha, are you surprised?" She said with a smile, "I am willing to give everything for the principal."
"Even if it is."
“Become a true note.”
After saying this, Anita fell in a pool of blood and died with a smile on her face.
Helvinia was in a trance.
At the same time, the door behind him was pushed open with a "bang", and several rays of white light shone in.
Countless servants in neat clothes filed in, half of them were cleaning the scene, and the other half came in front of Hevinia, bent down, said "Excuse me, Miss Hevinia" and stretched out their hands.
But it wasn't to kill her, because they had towels, warm water and new clothes.
They took off Hevinia's bloodstained clothes, cleaned her wounds, and tidied her face.
She even knelt in front of Hevinia and helped her wipe her bare ankles.
They are all performers, but unarmed and respectful, like the most humble servants.
Twenty minutes later, everything was as good as new.
Hevinia, wearing a luxurious robe, watched them place the cleaned bodies of Anita and Phoenix in front of her.
The naked bodies, like cleaned pork, were painted with golden musical notes.
They looked at Hevinia with longing and expectant eyes and shouted loudly.
“Play the divine song!”
“Play the divine song!”
“Play the divine song!”
