Chapter 309: Fourteen Let’s bet… each other’s rules (5K)

After enduring half a day of lessons, Hewinia didn’t do much else but quickly returned to her dorm to rest and fell asleep in the shortest time possible.

After she fell deep into sleep, Bai Wei gradually stood up, looking at her side profile with great interest.

Hewinia was unlike Bai Wei, who now felt exceptionally energized.

Because at this point, he could say he had completely recovered.

Honestly, the speed of this recovery surprised Bai Wei, especially considering his previous severe depletion and having barely survived a month in that broken body of divinity, arriving in Hewinia’s body in an extremely weakened state.

But it took him less than a week to fully recover.

This, of course, was largely due to the strong self-healing ability of his soul and also related to the body of Hewinia.

With the “Golden Note” of the “Golden Score,” truly, she wasn’t someone ordinary people could compare with.

If Bai Wei’s three hosts were to be described as landlords, then the place Ulu rented to him was like a rundown house, not very old but dilapidated due to poor maintenance, leaking everywhere, and filled with an unpleasant smell—it was uncomfortable but still livable.

Gerard’s was like a well-maintained old house, clean and tidy, but perhaps too clean and empty, as if even a thief would feel compelled to leave some money out of pity.

There was no living experience there, but it was still more comfortable than the place Ulu offered.

Hewinia was different.

She could be seen as a refined apartment, clean and tidy with all amenities in place, fresh fruits on the table, boxes and boxes of meat in the kitchen.

It’s just that the room’s various feminine items, such as plush toys and pink bed linens, might be somewhat uncomfortable for a rugged man to adapt to, but it was comfortable to live in, especially for someone in need of healing, living in such an apartment definitely offered a more pleasant environment, and wounds would heal faster.

However…

After the initial excitement faded, a wave of loneliness and oppression relentlessly rushed in.

The room was mostly dead silent, the cute teddy bear by the bed just watched quietly without making any sound, the fresh fruits on the table quickly rotted after a few days, and the boxes of meat in the kitchen bred insects in the heat.

Even breathing fresh air was difficult, as the room had only one semi-open window, and the howling cold wind from outside couldn’t flow in.

This was the feeling Hewinia gave to Bai Wei.

In the game, Hewinia was a character with more emphasis than both Ulu and Gerard.

In the early part of the “Holy Sound” chapter, her relationship with the game’s protagonist was like hers with Ogg.

Players really found this girl excessively adorable, just like everything in that apartment “at first glance.”

Of course, this was also due to the contrast created by the previous two chapters, as neither Rhein’s Priest nor Lyra’s mechanical beings were as endearing as Hewinia, the lovable Witch.

Unfortunately, this charm was just a disguise.

The game’s protagonist couldn’t delve into the depths of Hewinia’s heart like Bai Wei could and was naturally deceived by that glamorous facade.

By the time something seemed amiss, Hewinia had already gotten what she wanted and delivered a harsh stab in the back to the protagonist.

That cold and decisive demeanor, completely different from her previous naïve image, broke many players’ hearts, yet some loved her even more for it.

One could say, Hewinia was the character in the early part of the “Holy Sound” chapter that the players couldn’t stop obsessing over.

The reason it’s considered the early part,

of course, is that she didn’t survive to the later stages.

Bai Wei silently watched Hewinia, just as if he was looking at the fresh melons and the well-preserved meat in the kitchen.

The skin of the fruits had started to wrinkle, and an insect searching for food inadvertently flew into the kitchen.

Actually, Bai Wei had hesitated whether to choose Hewinia as his third host.

Because if Bai Wei remembered correctly, at this point, Hewinia had already walked into a dead end, yet she was entirely unaware.

Moreover, it was troublesome because no one knew exactly what Hewinia wanted.

It was known that she wanted to play the “Seven Notes·Divine Song,” but what she ultimately desired from playing the “Seven Notes·Divine Song” had been widely speculated by players without a definitive answer, hence, Bai Wei naturally lacked better “utilities against Hewinia,” or the best means to manipulate her.

So, from multiple perspectives, choosing another host might have been better for Bai Wei.

But,

what fun would that have been?

There were indeed more secure ways for Bai Wei to achieve his goals, choosing Hewinia would only make it the most challenging mode.

Yet, once succeeded, it would also be the most rewarding mode.

The “Golden Score” coupled with the “Golden Note,” the walking “Seven Notes·Divine Song.”

… How wonderful, how melodious.

Even Bai Wei began to look forward to it.

So, Bai Wei also made his move, the three chances of “Termination” given to Hewinia today were part of his little scheme.

Unlike with Ulu or Gerard, traditional methods of temptation couldn’t be used on Hewinia.
