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 mont, 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.”
Sotis, 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 mont, 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 shimring 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 seed to be smiling.
Sotis, 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 confird 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 mont, He Ao even thought she was going to co 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 mont, 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 cos 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 mory (Soul Binding) (D-level), Basic Firearm Mastery (Soul Part)]
[chanical Modification: None]
[Martial Arts: Essence Refinent and Qi Transformation (E-level) (Not Usable)]
[Character Skills: Talent Sequence 29: rcenary (E-level)]
The level of Super mory had changed from E-level to D-level, and He Ao’s soul strength had also grown trendously – 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 dicine.
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 mory, and an imnse power surged into his body.
At this mont 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 mory was likely greater than that of an average D-level.
At the sa ti, Super mory itself also underwent so changes.
Originally, Super mory could only retain the surrounding environnt and details in one’s mind, and in a burst state, it could simulate an opponent’s fighting pattern.
But now, Super mory seed to have gained so additional abilities.
What he “saw” was no longer just the physical environnt, but also so “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 consud by Super mory suddenly increased.
He Ao quickly withdrew his consciousness, and the enormous consumption ceased abruptly.
Was this the mutation after Super mory devoured the ‘Charm’ ability of the ‘Dancer’?
However, unlike when taking the secret dicine served by the waiter, He Ao could faintly hear so extrely light ‘whispering’ sounds while using Super mory.
He Ao pondered for a mont, 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 fla.
“What’s wrong?”
Christos looked up and asked He Ao.
“It’s nothing,” He Ao replied, holding his short sword and turning off Super mory.
“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 conglorates, no Witch Church, or if the Witch Church faced severe restrictions instead of being protected as the dark hand of the conglorates like now, would soone 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 excitent.
The audience, both n and won, 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 comnce.
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 mont, however, the Sacrificial Array seed to have malfunctioned, as if soone 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 ca 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 mont, 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 ard 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.
Rember, prioritize civilian safety.”
