Chapter 490: Eighty-six I will grant you rebirth (end of this volume)
"To be honest, you're quite a troublesome guy."
"...Troublesome?"
"Yes, you keep everything to yourself and never speak your mind, making it impossible for anyone to guess your true thoughts, right up until the end." Bai Wei smiled and said, "You know, my previous two partners have already completed several transactions with me during this time."
Hewinia tilted her head: "Is that so?"
"Yes." Bai Wei said, while picking up the packed snow from the ground and forming a ball, then aiming at the heap of corpses in the pit, but ultimately, did not throw it, "It's like doing business, the party that first exposes their needs is often the easiest to lose, my previous two partners were like that, but you're the opposite... However, I didn't really lose anything from you."
Hewinia turned to look at Bai Wei's face, focusing on his ears: "Did you get your Corpse Blocks?"
"Yes." Bai Wei said with a smile, "You ended the player's system, so the seal maintained by the chapters naturally collapsed, so although the process was a bit rough, the result was good for me."
Hewinia nodded slightly: "That's great."
"Oh? You actually think so?" Bai Wei raised an eyebrow and asked, "In your eyes, shouldn't I be no different from the Holy Sound Master?"
"I didn't think so... at least not later."
"Tsk, that's what I'm saying, you keep everything buried in your heart, nobody knows what you're really thinking even if you die."
Hewinia laughed: "Aren't you the same?"
"Me?"
"Yes." Hewinia thought for a moment, "Just like you always say... a riddler?"
"Hmm..." Bai Wei pondered briefly and realized, "It really seems that way."
He then tossed the snowball in his hand, and as it flew through the air, he snapped his finger, causing the snowball to burst into snowflakes, falling gently.
"If that's the case, why not have an open conversation." Bai Wei smiled at Hewinia, "I won't be a riddler anymore, and you be a bit more honest... After all, if we keep hiding, we'll end up hiding in Hell."
Hewinia did not refuse: "What do you want to know?"
"Your purpose in playing the Seven Notes·Divine Song." Bai Wei said, "I mean, your original purpose. Your ultimate purpose should be to meet Karen at the First Academy, knowing that his inherent virus could destructively affect the notes, then you decided on it, so before that, what was your real purpose... to make a wish to the Holy Sound Master?"
Hewinia shook her head: "No, I never intended to make a wish to Him... My original purpose was quite similar to what it is now."
"Quite similar to now?" Bai Wei asked, "Couldn't be just to play the 'Seed Seeking Song', right?"
"Right."
"What's the point?"
"There's no need for a point." Hewinia said, "It's just what I wanted to do."
"No need for a point, huh? Ha, it's more like this is the point you want." Bai Wei smiled and said, "Like that stinking priest said, the purpose of a player's existence is to offer the most magnificent chapters to the Holy Sound Master, so he can give up any reward. But what you want to do is the opposite, you gather the Seven Notes with all your might, play the final chapter, like you want to tell the world, that all of this is... hmm, no, no."
Bai Wei continued speaking while shaking his head in denial.
"You probably don't have many pretentious thoughts, you're here to take revenge on everyone. Whether it's the players or the Holy Sound Master, like you told me a long time ago, you don't want to save anyone or get anything, all you want is... revenge on this world, right?"
Hewinia nodded and then softly said, "Yes, in the beginning, that's how I thought, wanting to be the last one standing, wanting everyone to watch me, thinking I'm fighting for the ceremony and for wishes, then let them know it's not like that. I don't care for the grace of the Holy Sound Master, nor do I crave His wish, all I want is just..."
"Desecration." Bai Wei accurately concluded.
"And that's called desecration, is it?"
"Yes." Bai Wei laughed and said, "Plus, it's quite pure desecration at that, though it doesn't compare to what you've done last. That was a greater act of desecration, in this world, few can compare to you."
Desecration.
Hewinia carefully contemplated this term, then asked Bai Wei: "May I ask you a question?"
"Of course, it's your turn now."
"The Holy Sound Master... what kind of god is He exactly." Hewinia asked, "Why did He create the players, and why did He want them to pursue chapters and notes?"
"Hmm, you've finally asked an essential question." Bai Wei smiled and asked, "You remember when you first came to the First Academy, you asked me a question, and I said I couldn't tell you yet."
"You mean the one that could attract the gaze of gods?" Hewinia recalled, "Is it the reason why gods don't intervene in the world?"
"Yes." Bai Wei folded his hands, seriously saying, "If you knew the answer to that question, then most questions related to the gods in this world would be solved."
Seeing Bai Wei being serious, Hewinia also sat up straight involuntarily.
Then she saw Bai Wei smile and say: "But unfortunately, I still can't tell you the answer."
