Chapter 242 I Will Give You a New Life (End of this Volume)
"To be honest, you are a pretty troublesome guy."
"……trouble?"
"Yes, you keep everything to yourself and don't want to say anything, so that people can never guess your true thoughts until the very end." Bai Wei said with a smile, "You should know that my two previous accomplices have completed several transactions with me during this period."
Helvinia tilted her head. "Is that so?"
"Yeah." Bai Wei said as he picked up the snow on the ground and rolled it into a ball. He then glanced at the pile of corpses in the pit, but ultimately did not throw it. "It's like doing business. The party that first reveals its needs is often the one that suffers the most. My first two accomplices were like this, but you are the opposite... But I didn't suffer any loss from you either."
Hevinia turned her head to look at Bai Wei's face, and paid special attention to his ears: "Did you get your body parts?"
"Yes." Bai Wei said with a smile, "You ended the player's system, so the seal maintained by the music will naturally collapse. So although the process was a bit bumpy, the result is good for me."
Hevinia nodded slightly: "That's great."
"Oh? You still think it's okay?" Bai Wei raised his eyebrows and asked, "In your eyes, shouldn't I be no different from the Lord of Holy Sound?"
"I didn't think so... at least not later."
"Tsk, so that's why, if you keep everything to yourself, no one will know what you are thinking even after you die."
Helvinia smiled. "You are the same, aren't you?"
"I?"
"Yeah." Helvinia thought for a moment, "Like you keep talking about... the Riddler?"
"Hmm..." Bai Wei thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "It seems to be true."
Then he threw the snowball in his hand, and when the snowball was flying in the air, he snapped his fingers, and the snowball exploded, turning into drifting snow and slowly falling down.
"In that case, why don't we have a frank chat?" Bai Wei looked at Hevinia with a smile, "I won't be a riddler anymore, and you should be a little more honest... After all, if you keep hiding, you will really end up in hell."
Helvinia didn't refuse: "What do you want to know?"
"What was your purpose in playing the Seven-tone Divine Comedy?" Bai Wei said, "I mean, the initial purpose. Your ultimate purpose should be to come to the First Academy and meet Karen, and then know that the virus he brought with him was destructive to the musical notes. So before that, what was your real purpose... to make a wish to the Lord of Holy Music?"
Hevinia shook her head: "No, I have never thought of making a wish to Him...My original purpose is similar to my current one."
"It's similar to what we have now?" Bai Wei asked, "Will it just play the song 'Seeking Seeds'?"
"Yes."
"What's the point?"
"No need for meaning," Helvinia said, "I just wanted to do it."
"Don't you need meaning? Haha, rather than saying you don't need meaning, it's better to say that this is the meaning you want." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Just like what that stinky charlatan said, the meaning of the performer's existence is to present the most extreme music to the Lord of Holy Sound, so he can give up any reward. But what you want to do is the opposite. You try your best to collect seven notes and play the final chapter, as if you want to tell the world that all this is... well, not right."
Bai Wei said this while shaking his head in denial.
"You shouldn't have so many hypocritical thoughts. You just want to take revenge on everyone. No matter if it's the performer or the Lord of Holy Sound, just like you told me a long time ago, you don't want to save anyone, and you don't want to get anything. The only thing you want is... revenge on this world, right?"
Hevinia nodded, and then said softly: "Yes, that's what I thought at the beginning. I wanted to stand until the end, I wanted everyone to look at me and think that I would fight for everything for the ceremony and for my wish, and then let them know that it's not the case. I don't care about the grace of the Lord of Holy Sound, nor do I desire His wish. All I want is..."
"Blasphemy." Bai Wei made an accurate summary.
"Is that blasphemy?"
"Yes." Bai Wei said with a smile, "And it was a relatively pure blasphemy. Of course, it is not as good as what you did at the end. That was an even greater blasphemy. Looking around the world, there are few people who can compare to you."
Blasphemy.
Hevinia thought about the word carefully, and then asked Bai Wei: "Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course, now it's your turn."
"The Lord of Holy Music... What kind of god is He?" Helvinia asked, "Why did He create performers, and why did He let performers pursue music and notes?"
"Well, you finally asked a fundamental question." Bai Wei asked with a smile, "Do you remember when you first arrived at the First Academy, you asked me a question, but I said I couldn't tell you that yet."
"You mean the one that will attract the attention of the gods?" Helvinia thought for a moment, "Is that why the gods don't get involved in the world?"
"Yes." Bai Wei folded his hands and said seriously, "If you know the answer to that question, then most of the problems in this world related to gods will be solved."
Seeing that Bai Wei was serious, Hevinia couldn't help but sit up straight.
Then she saw Bai Wei smiling and saying, "But unfortunately, I still can't tell you the answer."
Hevinia: "..."
"Hahaha, look at your expression." Bai Wei said with a smile, "But I really can't tell you, because for the gods, it is the most taboo secret."
Hevinia wanted to say, "I'm almost dying, why do I care about this?" But after struggling for a while, she held back.
Because she knew that if it was something Bai Wei didn't want to mention, no matter what she said it would be of no use.
"But there is one thing I can tell you for sure," Bai Wei said, "that is, God changes the world for a purpose. Just like the Lord of Holy Music creates musical notes and lets the performers pursue the music, the God of Lyra lets his subjects use machines to pursue order and machines, and the God of the Rhine... well, plays with little boys, all to achieve the same goal, but with different means, so you can think that He did it on purpose."
"In other words," Hevinia looked into Bai Wei's eyes, "Sacred music can be played without a performer or musical notes?"
"Haha, this is the real question you want to ask me." Bai Wei nodded slightly, "I can tell you, yes."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, and a faint cyclone of magical energy began to gather in his palm.
"This world itself has magic power and magic." Bai Wei said, "The lowest-level priests in Rhine can master the lowest-level magic through learning. Why can only the performers of Holy Music use magic power? The answer is also very simple, it is the musical notes. You can think of the musical notes as a magic receiver."
"Magic receiver?" Hevinia seemed to have guessed something.
"Yes, Gold Sound can naturally receive more magic power than Bronze Sound, so it is naturally more powerful." The magic cyclone in Bai Wei's palm seemed to expand, and then slowly shrank, "And the magic power that Bronze Sound can receive is even less than that of ordinary people in the outside world who don't have musical notes, so it is naturally weaker."
"Then why can't everyone be Jinyin?"
"Because that would be meaningless." Bai Wei said, "You can think of the magic of this world as a cake. If everyone is a big eater, then one piece of cake is definitely not enough to share. Then the golden sound player is no different from an ordinary player."
Hevinia fell into deep thought while Bai Wei was still explaining.
"That is to say, Holy Music is a big cake, and everyone can take a big bite with their own talent and hard work. And the Lord of Holy Music bestows musical notes, which is essentially Him dividing a piece of the cake. He will let some people eat more, that is, gold music, and some people eat less, that is, silver music. He will let some people not eat at all, that is, bronze music and those who don't even have bronze music. Yes, it is not only the players with musical notes who are marked by the Lord of Holy Music, but anyone born on this land will be marked by Him."
Hevinia closed her eyes gently, and the scenes from her childhood flashed through her mind again.
Then she opened her eyes, and the pit of corpses in her memory was right in front of her.
"Will He come back?" Helvinia asked.
"It's very difficult." Bai Wei said, "Do you remember what I said before? The Lord of Holy Sound is a very special god. He doesn't have five senses. He used my ears to listen to the world before, and created the channel of performers and musical notes to communicate with the world. But now, this channel has been destroyed by you, and my ears have been taken back by me. For Him, it is not so easy to find a way to influence the world again. But how should I put it? It's not completely impossible. After all, He is a god, and there are few things He can't do."
"So, is it a big blow to Him to lose the player and the notes?"
"Hey, hey, hey, you've asked me so many questions in a row, it should be my turn now." Bai Wei shrugged, "Forget it, I might as well finish answering now."
Bai Wei paused.
"Unfortunately, no harm was done. Like I said before, to use a more vivid metaphor, it's like you burned His fishing rod, and He loosened the rod before it caught fire. Do you think this hurt Him?"
“…I see.”
"Yes. You are both unfortunate and lucky to be in Shengyin." Bai Wei said, "The unfortunate thing is that the Lord of Shengyin is probably the most twisted and sick one among the four gods, and his obsession with the mortal world is deeper than the other three gods. Otherwise, He would not hold any grand ceremonies, which is almost impossible to happen in other kingdoms of God. The lucky thing is... He is the most powerless among all the gods."
Helvinia nodded, and then said, "Now it's your turn to ask me, do you have any questions? Please ask as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Bai Wei said with a smile, "It seems you have already felt it."
The snow around is melting rapidly.
The scene also began to become unreal.
Only the pit of corpses in front of her became deeper and deeper, as if the abyss had opened its arms to her, wanting to embrace her.
This made Hevinia realize that she didn't have much time left here.
"I will answer you as soon as possible," said Helvinia.
"It's really like coming and going in a hurry." Bai Wei sighed and said, "Don't you have any regrets?"
"regret?"
"Yes." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Just like you said to Ulysses, you have fought for the Holy Sound for at least twenty years, but no one knows what will happen in these twenty years. The people of the Holy Sound may find a new path, but they may also start a new round of internal friction after losing the players and the notes. When the Lord of the Holy Sound returns to the world, nothing will have changed, and everything will return to the starting point, as if nothing had happened. If that happens..."
"What does that have to do with me?" Hevinia said calmly, "Have you forgotten, Mr. Visas, all I wanted... was to make them bleed. I did it, and that's enough."
“I see.”
"sorry."
“Why are you apologizing?”
"I'm not the good person you expected." Hevinia said softly, "I never thought of saving the world or saving others. In fact, I am like the virus in Karen's body, just an abscess that has deteriorated on the musical notes. So I devoured the musical notes. Now that the musical notes are gone, I should disappear too."
"So this is how you see yourself."
Hevinia nodded. At this moment, the snow around them had completely disappeared, and the pit of corpses in front of them had expanded to a certain extent, as if it was about to spread to swallow up the entire world.
This made Hevinia realize that it was time for her to leave.
So she stood up and said goodbye to Bai Wei: "Thank you for your help all the time. I have to go now."
"Um...I have one last question."
Hevinia turned and looked at Bai Wei.
Bai Wei asked, "Those letters you wrote to Oger didn't mean anything, did they?"
Hevinia's pupils narrowed slightly.
"Have you read those books yet?"
"Yes, it doesn't have the meanings you said." Bai Wei said, "So I want to know why you didn't choose to do that."
"…Because nothing can happen to you." Helvinia said, "If you are gone, no one will be able to fight against the Lord of Holy Voice."
Bai Wei smiled when he heard Hevinia say this.
"Haha, that's what I thought." Bai Wei said, "But if that's the case, can you still say that you're just a boil that wants to destroy the world... Nia?"
Hevinia didn't say anything, because countless hands stretched out from the pit of corpses, grabbed her body, and pulled her down little by little.
She fell into the abyss.
At the same time, he watched Bai Wei slowly stand up, grabbed the last handful of snow, and asked while playing with it: "Although the process was a bit tortuous, in terms of the result, you did help me get more things. So, is there anything else you want, Nia?"
Hevinia shook her head and said softly, "You've given me enough."
More hands climbed up her body, darkness swallowed her, and Bai Wei's body became smaller and smaller and more blurred.
"I'm not the type who likes to get things for free." Bai Wei rolled the snow into a ball while thinking, "What should I give you as a gift?"
Hevinia's consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.
Darkness climbed up her body, leaving only one eye.
it's over.
She thought so.
Then, she heard a snap of fingers.
"I've figured it out."
She looked at Bai Wei and said to herself with a smile.
"I will grant you..."
"newborn."
…
Helvinia's eyes snapped open.
The rising sun was shining on her face through the unfamiliar window, bringing with it a warmth she had never experienced before, making everything seem like a dream.
What is...going on?
Before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her body, causing her to tremble uncontrollably and making a slight sound.
Then she heard two female voices coming from outside the house.
Soon, a strange woman appeared in her sight.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Helvinia, you are safe now," the other party said, "someone has entrusted you to me."
"My name is Ina."
Alas, the ending is really bad. There were originally about five chapters of the story. As a result, everything was messed up after writing 84 chapters. I didn't know what to do after deleting and revising. I condensed the story that still needed tens of thousands of words to be completed into this. I apologize.
