Chapter 115: Chapter 91: Super Blue My Dagger

Ye Wan gently caressed the storage ring on her index finger, and a pure white flute appeared out of thin air in her palm.

The flute was polished and smooth, as if made from the finest jade, but it exuded a peculiar and eerie aura, filling the room with a chilling coldness as soon as it was taken out.

[Name: Evil Sound Bone Flute]

[Quality: Rare]

[Special Effect: The single tone produced has a mental pierce ability, and melodies played with specific scores can enchant the mind.]

[Note 1: This is a human leg bone, belonging to the same person as the Human Skin Score.]

[Note 2: Item required for the "Murder the Musician" task.]

Specific scores? Could it be the scores on the Human Skin Score? Zhou Yuan pondered, wondering if this set of evil instruments could form a band.

"It’s this thing."

"It’s yours."

Ye Wan handed over the bone flute.

As soon as Zhou Yuan took it, a system prompt sounded in his ear.

Zhou Yuan allocated the attribute point to Perception, increasing it to 26.

Ye Wan explained the origin of the bone flute. "A year ago, a business partner came to me, asking for help to save someone.

That person was a famous flute master in the music industry. One day, a mysterious figure sent him this bone flute. He became obsessed with it, carrying it everywhere, even clutching it while sleeping.

Within half a month, he fell into madness, playing the flute day and night without eating or drinking. Eventually, he didn’t sleep at all, and after a few days, he ended up in the ICU. The doctors saved him after more than ten hours of effort, but as soon as he woke up, he started demanding the flute. Without it, he went into violent fits.

When I arrived, it was a typical case of mental pollution. I solved it with a Purification Skill.

Afterward, I investigated the sender of the bone flute and found it was shipped from Europe. Coincidentally, I had a business deal in Europe at that time, so I went to check it out..."

Ye Wan rubbed her right arm again. "The sender’s address was in a remote town in England. When I got there, it was just getting dark. In front of me, the townspeople turned into living dead. Following the spiritual energy fluctuations, I found the source of the anomaly—a woman playing the piano in the square.

She wore a white mask that covered her face, and her hair was wine red. I recognized her as a [Musician] from the Land of Truth. We were both at the fourth tier back then, so I fought her, but I was utterly defeated. My right arm was severed by a sound wave, and it took a lot of effort to reattach it."

"You weren’t a match for her?" Zhou Yuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Ye Wan was a senior deacon of the Xinhu Holy Crow Church and had once served as acting bishop. Her strength should not be lacking, yet she was defeated by a musician...

Ye Wan shook her head. "The musician had a plethora of strange and bizarre evil instruments. I suspect she could even kill a sixth-tier. If not for the goddess’s protection, I would have died there.

Moreover, the [Musician]’s advancement speed was terrifying. She advanced to the fifth tier half a year ago, and two months ago, I heard she ascended to the sixth tier in Europe."

Ye Wan sighed, likely aware that avenging herself was hopeless, her frustration palpable. "The advancement speed of these dark sorcerers from the Land of Truth is maddeningly fast. I suspect the [Musician] might reach the seventh tier next year, becoming a mythical extraordinary person."

Extraordinary beings of the seventh tier could be called mythical creatures, undergoing a qualitative change in their life form, gaining longevity, and possessing Reality Distortion Abilities that could even shake the foundations of physics, essentially becoming walking calamities.

The musician was indeed that powerful... Zhou Yuan had initially thought she was a mid-tier elite monster, but now it seemed she was undoubtedly a late-stage BOSS.

"Hmm... Could this be part of your collection task?" Ye Wan asked.

—she had been involved in the entire incident and was the only person in the Holy Crow Church besides Raven who knew about the "Player System" on Zhou Yuan.

"Yes, the task is to collect seven evil instruments. There’s a reward for each one collected." Zhou Yuan didn’t hide it.

"With the bone flute in hand, you’ve collected one so far. Are there any chests in the rewards?" Ye Wan asked eagerly.

"... Two ordinary quality chests."

"Can I open one? After all, I gave you the bone flute." Ye Wan clasped her hands together, her eyes wide and pleading, body twisting, voice pitching higher, "Good little brother, let your sister open one chest, please~~~"

There was no denying it; a big sister acting cute and coquettish was indeed effective. Zhou Yuan had no defense against this and took an ordinary item pack from his backpack. "Just this one, ok."

"Hehe."

Ye Wan took the item pack, started rubbing her hands like a fly.

I saw the shadow of the goddess in you, it must be said that you are indeed her kin... Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but remark, "You look exactly like the goddess."

"Oh? The goddess opened one too?" Ye Wan asked curiously, "How were the things she got?"

Zhou Yuan thought about it. The revival skill he had now wasn’t very useful, but Loreta’s Stunt was quite good, delivering explosive damage.

"I can only say it was alright."

"Alright means average, average means common, common means trash."
