Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 359 - 36 Seed Seeking Song

Chapter 359: 36 Seed Seeking Song

Regarding the Seed District of Holy Sound, Bai Wei wasn’t ignorant; he simply lacked such a profound understanding.

In the game chapters of Holy Sound, players were unable to reach the Seed District. All information concerning the Seed District was fragmented, scattered amongst snippets of character dialogue and assorted noble documents, giving the players a vague understanding of the place.

Moreover, nearly every character hailing from the Seed District would mention the same sentiment—under no circumstances did they wish to return there.

But only now did Bai Wei truly grasp how significant that statement was.

Especially when that mad father was dragged away by a servant, and his daughter, whom he treated as a breeding object, stood dumbly in place, unclear whether she had yet to comprehend what had happened, or if she was numb to everything from having long ceased to care.

“What a learning experience,” Bai Wei murmured somberly, “There aren’t many places that can make me think this way… The girl can’t become a Player, can she?”

“No,” Hewinia replied mentally, “It’s not enough to just have musical scales; if the patterns of the scales are too poor, one is unable to play the Chapters. Moreover, most seeds produced from the interactions between seeds have intellectual issues. Such individuals cannot become Players; they can only continue to exist as Sires and seed mothers.”

“Is that so?” Bai Wei sighed softly, “That’s truly pitiable.”

…Pitiable?

An odd feeling arose in Hewinia’s heart.

She couldn’t fathom where this strangeness stemmed from—was it because no one in Holy Sound would find anything about the Seed District worthy of pity, except for Bai Wei, or was it that even someone of Bai Wei’s exalted status could exhibit such compassion?

Hewinia couldn’t make sense of it, but she nonetheless recorded Bai Wei’s remark silently in her heart.

At this moment, the servant who had earlier dragged away the father returned, his face flush with embarrassment.

“I’m sorry, miss,” he apologized hastily, “That fellow’s head isn’t right, and I never expected him to dare to be so reckless towards you! Rest assured, I will…”

“Never mind,” Hewinia said, unbothered, “Since you’ve already made your arrangements, I won’t interfere. Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve been here, I think I’ll take a walk by myself.”

The servant breathed a sigh of relief at Hewinia’s indifference. He was unsurprised by her wish to wander around on her own.

He had managed the Seed District for several years and was well aware of his mistress’s true nature.

Once Hewinia expressed a desire to stroll around, it signaled that she wanted to release her urges.

And what she released was naturally… her bloodlust.

The first time the servant witnessed Hewinia eliminate one of the discarded seeds, he experienced profound surprise and fear.

After all, Hewinia was just a child back then. It was his first encounter with a child capable of such cruel and decisive actions, lifting the slaughter knife to those powerless seeds, her youthful smile tainted with blood causing him, an adult, to feel profoundly uneasy, even considering reporting it to the Lord afterward.

But young Hewinia saw through the servant’s thoughts.

He still remembered that scene. Hewinia toyed with the bloodied dagger as she spoke airily to him.

“Do you want to tell father? You’re welcome to try. Father will definitely punish me afterward, but then again…”

Hewinia paused, then revealed a smile that he couldn’t forget to this day.

“What do you plan to do after that? In the end, this family will fall into my hands, for I am the Golden Note, irreplaceable.”

“So, Mr. Byron, what do you plan to do?”

What could Byron do?

A ten-year-old girl wasn’t frightening.

But a ten-year-old who was so sensible, so vindictive, and destined to become the Family Head was indeed frightening.

So, at that time, he could only bow deeply, addressing the young girl with the utmost humility, “I understand, miss.”

In the many years that followed, Hewinia only became more unrestrained in this regard.

Over time, Byron grew accustomed to it, his initial terror and unease turning into pleasure.

When carrying out such acts, Hewinia would never bring along people from the main house, only bringing those experienced hands working in the Seed District.

Thus, they who knew Hewinia’s true nature could be considered the future Family Head’s confidants, couldn’t they? When Hewinia came of age and gradually took control of the Hailuo Family, a mere word from her could alter their fates.

With this thought, their initial discomfort vanished, and they even looked forward to Hewinia continuing such deeds, eagerly cooperating, just like… now.

Byron nodded understandingly, “I understand, miss.”

Then, he adeptly waved his hand to dismiss everyone around, taking with him the maidservants who had come from the main house, and made an inviting gesture towards the deeper streets of the Seed District.

“Miss, allow me to lead the way.”

Under normal circumstances, Hewinia would happily follow them into the depths of the Seed District. The deeper one went, the more disqualified seeds one would find, always at risk of elimination. The disappearance of such seeds would go unnoticed by anyone.
