Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 331: Twenty-three, why do you think I would believe you?
Chapter 331: Twenty-three, why do you think I would believe you?
Bai Wei calmly gazed at Hewinia.
In the game’s plot, the “Witch” who made countless players love and hate her had reached the end of her life tonight.
But how she died, no one knew, even her body was only discovered many days after her death. And that precious Golden Scroll, like the skin of a rare beast, was stripped away and passed through countless hands like merchandise, even ending up in the hands of the protagonist.
Just as it was now, completely subdued by Arianna, unable to muster even the slightest strength to resist, she could only be skinned and boned at will, like a dying unicorn.
It was truly pitiful.
Bai Wei thought to himself.
He had been observing Hewinia these days, so he knew that Hewinia had reached the limits of her present capabilities, but it still wasn’t enough.
She was still too young.
Compared to Arianna who had immersed herself in this path for who knows how many years, Hewinia was far too young.
Even though she had given it her all within the limits of her understanding, she was still outmaneuvered at every turn by Arianna, eventually walking towards a predestined painful end.
But…
Bai Wei looked at her left hand that clutched the ground in agony, yet for some reason refused to lift it.
Why, even now,
do you still refuse to use my power?
Hewinia.
What exactly are you holding on to?
…
Pain.
So much pain.
Hewinia’s body trembled uncontrollably. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Under Arianna’s extraction, a quarter of the Score had already left her body and was imprinted onto Arianna’s skin.
Her golden, curly hair also rapidly lost its color, gradually turning the color of blood.
…
“Lord, Lord, look at this child! She has potential!”
“Yes, yes, both her father and I have notes, and they are both high-quality Copper Rank. This child will surely have notes too! She just hasn’t produced them yet!”
The shrill voice shattered the tranquility of the memory.
“Take it off now! Can’t you understand human language? Take it off quickly!”
The whip lashed against her body.
It hurt so much.
She opened her eyes to see herself standing naked before three well-dressed people.
The woman with red hair, whom she called mother, kept whipping her with the whip.
Because only by doing so, it might make the hidden note patterns under her skin appear.
But there was nothing on her body, apart from the bloody marks.
The well-dressed people shook their heads, murmured “There’s nothing here”, and prepared to leave.
“No, no, it has to be there!”
The woman panicked, rushed in front of the three, and deftly stripped herself of all her clothes, showing them the crooked note patterns on her body made of what looked like copper rust.
“I’m Copper Rank! Her father is too! Our child can’t possibly have nothing! She just hasn’t manifested it yet. Really, lords, believe us, she will be able to produce notes!”
The three well-dressed people exchanged glances.
Then, a bag of coins was tossed at the woman’s feet, and many coins spilled out as they were not tied up securely.
But the woman didn’t care and instead joyfully picked up the money from the ground, not even thinking to get dressed first.
“Raise her for another three years and see.”
The one who threw the money spoke with a cold tone, then lifted his foot to step over the woman, who was picking up the money, without any reaction from her.
Because her entire attention was on the coins scattered in the mud.
And she quietly lowered her head, thinking to herself.
That’s good.
Three more years to live.
But why… can’t I feel happy at all?
She numbly looked into the distance, her eyes empty.
…
Pain.
It hurt so much.
Arianna’s Golden Score was already half complete, her expression joyful and saintly.
It was as if she could already hear the perfect melody of the Golden Score combined with the Golden Note.
Beneath her, Hewinia’s once delicate cheeks were now flaking off like paint, gradually revealing another face.
Those eyes, once as blue as the ocean, were slowly turning into pure black.
…
“You’ve been given five years, and this is all you have to show for it?”
“Isn’t this still nothing?”
Those people had come again, and although she had grown up, she still had to stand naked before them all, as she had five years ago, with a woman brandishing a whip beside her.
“I do have something, I have a little,” the woman said, “Just give me a bit more time, and it will definitely emerge.”
The people shook their heads.
“She’s so big now, if it doesn’t come out now, it will only be inferior copper later on,” the man said coldly. “We won’t continue to care for this kind of seed.”
“But I have raised it for so long…” the woman was somewhat unwilling.
A “snap.”
Again the sound of a coin purse hitting the ground.
“Let’s make it a clean break,” a blonde girl stepped out from behind the people, “at this price, after the buyout, leave the handling to us.”
She gazed blankly at the girl before her.
She could feel that the girl was about the same age as her.
But why… why did the other seem like the sun, and she, like an insect about to be scorched to death by the sun?
She lowered her head, looking at her naked body, and her heart, numb for who knows how many years, suddenly felt a stir.
The girl’s gaze also filled her with fear.
“No.”
As if seeing her fate to come, she instinctively turned her head to look at her mother.
But at this moment, her mother, no… it was appropriate to say that woman, was already sprawled on the ground as she had been five years ago, frantically picking up coins.
The words she had yet to speak were thus stuck in her throat.
…
The Score was two-thirds complete.
Arianna, so excited she could hardly hold onto her magic wand, kept muttering, “My future is arriving, my future is arriving,” paying no more attention to Hewinia collapsed on the ground, looking like a lump of rotten flesh.
“Seven Notes·Divine Song!” Arianna murmured. “With these, I can even complete the Seven Notes·Divine Song!”
She ecstatically stood up, devoid of her usual composed professorial demeanor.
At this moment, she only wanted to play a song of triumph.
With this golden score and notes!
However, just as she raised her magic wand high, she suddenly noticed that within the golden lines of music, there was a dark “blood” that seemed to be surging.
Arianna froze.
The next second.
A “pop.”
The score hidden beneath her skin explosively burst open.
Instantly, she became a bloodied figure.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
Arianna let out a hysterical scream.
“This is… Secret Poison! This is the Secret Poison of Notes!”
“Why would you plant Secret Poison in your own notes?!”
Hewinia struggled to lift her head, her face now like a melting snowman, half Hewinia’s face, half another.
It was as if she had crawled out of hell itself.
But she was smiling, a hideous smile.
“Do you know? Back in the Seed District, I actually killed two people.”
“One wanted me dead.”
“The other… gave birth to me.”
“So, why would you think… I would trust you?”
“Arianna, my teacher.”
