Chapter 238 I'm going to kill all of you idiots
After leaving Ulysses, Hevinia felt extremely heavy-hearted.
Although Hevinia had always had guesses about Ulysses, she never imagined that Ulysses would be so extreme.
"Performers are born to play music. I just let them return to their original state."
"You won, so what's wrong with that?"
"That's it, Helvinia."
Ulysses' words kept echoing in Hevinia's mind. This was the deepest impact Ulysses had on Hevinia since she came to this college.
She stopped and looked up at the sky where snow was falling.
Although nothing can be seen, one can still feel a majestic and unshakable force soaring above the sky, looking at this land with indifferent "eyes".
"Is that so?"
Helvinia whispered softly.
She seemed to be talking to herself, or having a conversation with another being inside her body, but still received no response.
In fact, Hevinia shouldn't be so confused.
Because of Ulysses' confession, the current situation is now very clear.
Before the end of the ceremony, the two Taichu families were unable to enter the First Academy, and her only opponent, Ulysses, had no intention of fighting her to death again.
The twenty years of planning in Ulysses were all for these last three days... to be more precise, the last performance.
His victory over Hevinia not only made up for the regret of twenty years ago, but also fulfilled his greatest pursuit in life.
Even if Hevinia defeated him, he would not feel any regret, because he lost in such a duel that had not happened in a thousand years. Failure as a performer was also an extreme.
Ulysses could accept any result, which was why he could completely let Hevinia go in the last few days. Because in his opinion, there was no third possibility.
But although Ulysses calculated everything, he obviously could not calculate that there was a higher-dimensional being in Hevinia's body - Visas.
In Bai Wei's plan, Hevinia didn't need to participate in the final movement of Ulysses at all.
All Hevinia had to do was play a specific seven-tone divine song in another place before the final movement began, when the Lord of Holy Sound focused all his attention on the temple, and she could take away the body parts and leave here, or even leave the Holy Sound.
This would naturally make Ulysses' ultimate pursuit come to naught.
Therefore, as long as everything goes according to the original plan, everything will end as expected.
She also believed that Bai Wei would keep his promise, return the body to her, and find a way to prolong her life.
but……
Is that all right?
Helvinia pondered the question.
"Miss Helvinia."
A familiar voice sounded again.
Hevinia turned her head and saw the woman who had served her in the dormitory before was looking at her with a smile.
Her name, Hevinia remembered, seemed to be Maggie.
"What's the matter?" Hevinia asked indifferently.
"I don't mean to bother you, but there's one thing I didn't explain clearly before." Maggie said with a smile, "Although you may already know it, I'll still mention it again just in case... Do you know the color enhancement magic?"
"Color enhancement magic?"
"Yes." Maggie nodded. "It's just like what it means. It's a way to add color to the notes."
A means of adding color to notes?
Hevinia couldn't help but think of Roland, the etheric family member who had disguised himself as the academy's doctor and used other people's notes to enhance the color of his own fading notes.
"I think I know," Helvinia said. "Any questions?"
"It's not a problem, just a little suggestion." Maggie bowed and said, "If you need to add color, you can also contact us. No matter which note player, we have it, and we are able to make your notes the best."
Helvinia looked at Maggie and said, "If I remember correctly, the color enhancement magic will make the corresponding player fade, right?"
"Yes."
"So anyone would be willing?"
"Of course." Maggie smiled and asked back, "Why not?"
"Is it an order from Principal Ulysses?"
"No, of course not." Maggie shook her head. "Principal Ulysses never ordered us to do anything. We followed him voluntarily."
"As a performer?"
"Yes." Maggie said softly, "We are all performers, we are all notes, and we should all offer music to the Lord regardless of everything, that's it."
After saying this, Maggie bowed to Hevinia again and then turned and left.
Hevinia said nothing, but just watched Maggie's figure disappear from her sight little by little.
Further away is the orchestra playing for the Lord.
They are pious and respectful.
Like piano keys, like musical notes, like a work of art.
Finally they crawled down and slowly disappeared in the wind and snow.
…
At the end of his sight, Og saw another child crawling down and disappearing in the wind and snow.
He immediately rushed over and shouted something loudly, but got no response.
Sure enough, when he arrived, the child was completely frozen.
And right next to this child is his father.
He knelt facing the holy mountain, trembling all over, as if from the cold, or from excitement, because he kept mumbling something, as if talking to himself.
But Ogg knew that he was chanting.
They were singing along with the holy sound that was falling with the snow.
Og 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 shut up silently, picked up the frozen child, and turned away.
Everything was done very skillfully.
Disturbingly skilled.
Finally, he threw the child into a deep pit, and in that pit, there were already countless children who had died in the same way.
Oger rested his hands on his knees, breathing softly.
"Where's that guy Oger? Why can't I see him again?"
A rough male voice was heard not far away, and Oger had to cheer up immediately, trotting over while shouting "Coming, coming".
Sure enough, the leader of this seed area was already looking at him unhappily beside the campfire.
"What on earth are you doing!" the leader said bluntly, "During the grand ceremony, instead of listening to the holy music, you are running around everywhere! Is this how you treat the young lady's kindness? Aren't you afraid of missing the music that the young lady is playing?!"
This grand ceremony is the biggest event for the Hai Luo family.
Because Hevinia, the eldest daughter of the Hero family, was among them.
Although due to the delay in information, they still didn't know what had happened in the academy, nor did they know which song Hevinia played.
But they just need to know that after this ceremony, the status of the Hailuo family will definitely be greatly improved, and they will also benefit from it.
So the leader gave an order, requiring everyone in the Hailuo family, including the stud breeders and even children who were only a few years old, to listen to the music played by the eldest lady during this period.
In fact, even if the leader does not give orders, the male and female breeders in the seed area will listen to the holy voice. This is what they look forward to and yearn for the most.
But it was different for the children. Most of them did not know what the Holy Sound was, but they were forced to kneel down, forced to listen, and then forced to... die.
Oger really wanted to stop all this, but he didn't have the qualifications. All he could do was to carry their bodies back after seeing them fall one by one.
Even so, it still caused strong dissatisfaction among the leaders.
If it weren't for the fact that Oger was openly a relative of the eldest lady, he would have kicked this disobedient kid out long ago.
"Listen, the young lady asked us to bring you back, not because you are so important, but because she is kind-hearted." The leader pointed at Oger's nose and said, "The young lady brought back many people, and you are the most insignificant and disobedient one among them. If you miss the young lady's music... you know the consequences."
Oger had no choice but to apologize repeatedly.
The leader snorted and walked away.
Oger also knelt in the snow again and began to listen to the holy sound again.
Listening to the holy music is not an easy thing, because the melody is mixed in with the falling snow. One must be very focused and pious to catch a glimpse of it, just like spreading one's hands to the sky and waiting for an unmelted snowflake to fall intact into the palm of one's hand.
Originally, Oger thought that this matter would definitely not be difficult for him.
Because he had been looking forward to the music from Miss Helvinia for a long time.
He even felt that he must be the person in the world who was most looking forward to Miss Helvinia's music.
But when the ceremony began and the holy sound fell, he found that it was not the case.
Those melodies from the top performers and composers mixed in the snow are truly sacred and elegant, ethereal and solemn, making people want to kneel down, worship and kiss the earth.
But Oger had a very strange feeling.
That is, these pieces did not sound like those played by Miss Hevinia.
Although to this day he still didn't know what song Hevinia was going to play at the ceremony, nor when it would start.
But he had this thought in his mind.
Miss Helvinia did not play these tunes. Miss Helvinia did not play tunes like these.
…Why on earth is that?
Oger didn't know.
But he could not listen to these pieces of music dedicated to the Lord.
He could not concentrate on it and tell himself that it was Miss Helvinia's work.
With a "puff" sound.
Not far away, another child fell down.
Before Oger could go over, he saw the leader looking at him with a warning look.
He didn't dare to move, so he could only lower his head silently and continue to listen to the holy sound.
Only after the leader turned his head back with satisfaction did Oger stand up quietly.
If Miss Helvinia were here, she would do the same.
Oger said this to himself, and then walked to the child with ease, ready to pick him up, as usual.
But at this moment, the adult who was like an ice sculpture beside the child suddenly stood up and knocked Og to the ground. Before Og could react, he grabbed the stone at hand and smashed it on Og's head like crazy.
"Why are you disturbing me?! Why are you disturbing me?!" He shouted loudly, "I could still hear the Holy Sound just now! I could still hear it just now!"
"Why do you keep bothering me?!"
"You are here to stop me from hearing the Holy Voice! You are here to stop me from hearing the Holy Voice!"
The movement here naturally attracted the attention of others.
The leader immediately rushed over and kicked the stud down: "Asshole, what are you doing?!"
It seemed like the male had already reached his limit. After being kicked like that, he was no longer able to continue and could only murmur miserably with his last bit of strength.
"I have already heard the Holy Voice... I have clearly already heard it..."
"It's all his fault...it's all his fault..."
The leader made an unhappy "tsk" sound, then turned to look at Oger: "I told you a long time ago not to meddle in other people's business, but you just... huh?"
Oger did not respond.
He lay in the snow in a daze, holding the stud's dead child in his arms.
The blood was extremely eye-catching in the snow.
…
Helvinia silently watched the blood in the snow as a dead man was dragged away by two other players.
And they were all students of Ulysses.
"What's going on?" she asked Maggie beside her.
"Don't worry about it." Maggie said with a smile, "It's just a small matter that has been dealt with."
"A small matter?"
"Yes." Maggie did not hide her intentions from Helvinia, "He is just a poor man who has strayed from the path of a player."
"Can you explain it more clearly?"
"He wants to leave."
"Why?"
"Love? Family?" Maggie shrugged. "We're not sure. Anyway, when we found him, he already wanted to leave, so we helped him correct his path."
"I still don't understand," Helvinia asked. "Is it because he has feelings that he must die?"
"No, of course not." Maggie shook her head, "It's because his notes are of high quality, and we need to leave it for your enhancement."
"I didn't say I wanted to add color."
"You just haven't asked for it now." Maggie said with a smile, "If you ask for it and we can't give it to you, it will be our dereliction of duty."
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly: "Just because of this?"
"Yes." Maggie said, "We are performers who are meant to complete the greatest and most ultimate movement. We will not allow anyone to fall behind at this time. If there is, we will get them back on the right track, just like now."
"I see." Helvinia asked, "What note are you in?"
"The third tone."
"What if I use your notes to enhance the music?" Helvinia looked into Maggie's eyes. "The most extreme kind."
"Of course no problem." Maggie took out the dagger she had prepared long ago and handed it over with a smile, "You can take it anytime."
Helvinia was silent.
She was a little dazed for a moment, not knowing whether it was Maggie or Anita standing in front of her.
Or... everyone.
She looked quietly at the dagger that Maggie handed to her. In the pale reflection, Hevinia saw her own face and the star-like pupil.
At this moment, she seemed to understand something.
Then he burst into laughter.
“Hehe…hahaha…”
It was a laugh so genuine that she had to hold her stomach to keep from bending over with laughter.
Faced with such an emergency, Maggie remained calm, with a faint smile on her face. She kept leaning forward, like an ice sculpture or those eternal notes, and did not react to Hevinia's actions at all.
Helvinia was still laughing, till the tears came out of her eyes.
"I'm such an idiot, really... I always think things are too complicated, too complicated."
"I had made the decision a long time ago, but I just couldn't figure it out at the last minute."
"Well... maybe it's because of him. I've been with him for so long that I almost forgot what this world is like."
Hevinia's voice slowed down a little bit. She looked at Maggie in front of her and then spoke softly.
"Thank you for reminding me of my original intention."
Maggie looked up at Hevinia and asked with a smile: "What was your original intention? Is it related to the music? If possible, can you tell me? I can help you with reference... before you use the knife."
"Of course." Hevinia put her finger on her lower lip, trying to think of something, "Let me think about how to describe it...ah, I remember."
She thought of the adjective that Bai Wei liked to say, so she snapped her fingers happily, pointed at Maggie with a bright smile, and then spoke seriously.
"I'm going to kill all of you idiots..."
