"So," Christos looked at Qi Ke’s body, "was Qi Ke simply a persona that the ’Dancing Girl’ adopted as a disguise?"

Christos actually had a favorable impression of Qi Ke, first because of Qi Ke’s good reputation, and second, because her singing truly moved him; he always believed that singing was the window to the soul.

This was why he initially did not want to believe that Qi Ke was the ’Dancing Girl’.

"It’s not necessarily a disguise," He Ao had already walked up to the delicate birdcage at this moment, the little bird inside unaware of what had happened around it, still chirping away in its cage.

He Ao paused, then slowly added, "People are complex."

Sometimes, the birds in the Abyss also lift their heads, yearning for the blue sky above.

He Ao slowly opened the cage door.

The canary inside looked at the open cage door, hesitated for a moment, then slowly hopped out, landing right on He Ao’s fingertip.

Holding the canary, He Ao pointed towards the open vent and said softly, "You are free now."

The canary couldn’t understand He Ao’s words. It looked up at He Ao, then, flapping its wings and following the direction of the wind, flew toward the vent.

Toward the sky that belonged to it.

He Ao lowered his head, looking at Qi Ke’s body.

The brown hair had completely reverted to its shimmering golden color, and the sensual face had returned to cuteness.

The eyes that had been intently staring at the birdcage were now shut, and the slightly open mouth, too, had closed without notice.

Only a gentle curve of the lips remained.

She seemed to be smiling.

Sometimes, death is also a form of freedom.

...

He Ao crouched down, glanced at the shocking wound on Qi Ke’s neck that he had bitten, and confirmed again that Qi Ke’s breathing and heartbeat were gone.

Yes, she was completely dead.

The change in expression was probably due to the gradual restoration of the body after the Transcendent abilities ceased altering it.

Dead people shouldn’t change their expressions.

For a moment, He Ao even thought she was going to come back to life.

"Do you know what her Talent Sequence was?"

He Ao turned his head towards Christos and asked quietly.

"Hmm?" Christos paused for a moment, then explained softly, "I don’t know much, but judging from her title, it could be Talent Sequence 61: Dancer, which I believe is the advanced sequence of ’Talent Sequence 34: Waiter’. What comes after Dancer, the next advanced sequence, I’m not sure, but if you want to know, maybe you could find the answer in the black market."

"Thank you."

He Ao said his thanks softly and then opened his attribute panel.

[He Ao (Roy)]

[Access Level: Ordinary Player]

[Physical Fitness: 80 (90)]

[Skills: Talent Sequence 272: Super Memory (Soul Binding) (D-level), Basic Firearm Mastery (Soul Part)]

[Mechanical Modification: None]

[Martial Arts: Essence Refinement and Qi Transformation (E-level) (Not Usable)]

[Character Skills: Talent Sequence 29: Mercenary (E-level)]

The level of Super Memory had changed from E-level to D-level, and He Ao’s soul strength had also grown tremendously – so much so that the wounds he had just received were healing at a noticeably fast rate.

He Ao had experienced this state once before.

That was when he took the ’Waiter’ secret medicine.

So, when he had bitten into Qi Ke’s neck just now, what flowed into his throat was not just Qi Ke’s blood, but also Qi Ke’s Talent Sequence.

He tried to ignite Super Memory, and an immense power surged into his body.

At this moment his physical condition had improved from 90 to 227, a growth of 137, which was 80 points higher than the 57-point increase the waiter had brought before.

Although the increase of 137 points did not reach the D-level boost of 150 points, He Ao could clearly feel that the flexibility and pliability of his body had improved far more than his strength. In this aspect, the boost from Super Memory was likely greater than that of an average D-level.

At the same time, Super Memory itself also underwent some changes.

Originally, Super Memory could only retain the surrounding environment and details in one’s mind, and in a burst state, it could simulate an opponent’s fighting pattern. But now, Super Memory seemed to have gained some additional abilities. What he "saw" was no longer just the physical environment, but also some "ethereal" shadows.

For instance, on Monica, who had just died, a faint shadow that was still dissipating enveloped her. Qi Ke also had such a shadow, though it had already nearly vanished. Nevertheless, the shadow on Qi Ke was much denser than that on Monica.

He Ao tried to ’touch’ these shadows, and as this thought crossed his mind, he instantly felt that he had disturbed those fading shadows a bit.

In that instant, he felt a part of his consciousness enter a dead silent and blank area. He tried to interfere with this area, but there was no response.

Perhaps it was because the shadows belonged to the deceased?

And with his interference, the soul power consumed by Super Memory suddenly increased.

He Ao quickly withdrew his consciousness, and the enormous consumption ceased abruptly.

Was this the mutation after Super Memory devoured the ’Charm’ ability of the ’Dancer’?

However, unlike when taking the secret medicine served by the waiter, He Ao could faintly hear some extremely light ’whispering’ sounds while using Super Memory.

He Ao pondered for a moment, shifting his gaze from the two dead to Christos at his side.

As he had guessed, the shadow on Christos had not dissipated and was far denser than those on Qi Ke and Monica, though it flickered intermittently like a wavering candle flame.

"What’s wrong?"

Christos looked up and asked He Ao.

"It’s nothing," He Ao replied, holding his short sword and turning off Super Memory. "Let’s go outside."

"Sure,"

Christos answered and followed behind He Ao.

"Roy, what do you think," as He Ao walked towards the side door they had entered from, Christos suddenly asked quietly from behind,

"if there were no conglomerates, no Witch Church, or if the Witch Church faced severe restrictions instead of being protected as the dark hand of the conglomerates like now, would someone like Qi Ke really grow up to be a kind and lovely idol singer?"

"I don’t know," He Ao calmly replied. "There are no ifs in this world. If you want to know the answer, try it yourself."

Just then, loud gunfire erupted from the theater outside.

He Ao rushed out.

----

Dynamic music and the sizzling dance of young girls filled the theater as if it had plunged into a tempestuous ocean of excitement.

The audience, both men and women, crazily waved their glow sticks, their cheeks flushed with exhilaration, screaming excitedly.

The sexy lead singer at the very front danced with a tender and enchanting smile, but her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed.

The dance had been going on for almost ten minutes.

Although the audience’s emotions were becoming more intense, things were gradually deviating from the plan.

Theoretical initiation of the Sacrificial Array, which should have happened in the seventh minute, had yet to commence. Relying solely on these basic Transcendents to perform one-on-one sacrifice rituals could be done with dance, but to complete such a large-scale sacrifice, a Sacrificial Array constructed with Transcendent materials was essential for effectiveness.

At the moment, however, the Sacrificial Array seemed to have malfunctioned, as if someone had sabotaged the prepared Array. Although the Church’s ordinary followers had gone to investigate, she couldn’t shake the ominous feeling building in her heart.

Especially since Qi, the regional manager and The God’s Chosen, had been absent for ten minutes without any sign of Monica, who had gone to check on the situation.

It was as if an invisible hand was pushing the whole event out of the Witch Church’s control.

Just then, a massive roar came from the sky.

The Nord Building’s rooftop theater was a semi-outdoor space where the top could be opened to reveal the sparkling starry sky.

At that moment, the rooftop was in its open state.

The sexy lead singer looked up and saw several helicopters hovering under the stars.

Descending along with these helicopters was a blond woman and the heavily armed agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation following her.

"First and second teams, separate the stage and the audience. Third team, proceed to exits 1 to 4. Fourth team, head to exits 5 to 8. Remember, prioritize civilian safety."
