Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 292: Six I want you to become my score

"Is that why you wanted me to take you to Holy Sound?"

"Of course."

"And you are determined to play the Seven Notes·Divine Song?"

"Yes."

"So that means, if I refuse to help you..." Hewinia slowed her speech deliberately, but her words came out more distinct, "you would also kill me, right?"

Asking this question, Hewinia felt a bit nervous, as well as a hint of regret.

She also didn't know whether making Bai Wei show his hand at this point was a good decision.

But before she could ponder too long, Bai Wei gave his answer: "Of course not... hehe, I know what you're worried about, but rest assured, I don't have the habit of killing my partners, especially ones that could be helpful to me."

"Is that so?" Hewinia said. "Does that mean, if I refuse to cooperate with you, then you will give up on playing the Seven Notes·Divine Song?"

Hewinia did not hide the doubt in her voice.

"That won't happen either," Bai Wei spoke nonchalantly, "Even if you refuse, I will still play the Seven Notes·Divine Song."

"That sounds somewhat contradictory."

"Not at all," Bai Wei said with a smile, "because I am quite certain that if you don't cooperate with me, you will certainly be killed by others, and at that point, I wouldn't have to worry about those concerns anymore."

Silence.

A long silence.

The boat Daphne was on had completely vanished from sight, with the never-freezing surface of the lake rippling in the cold wind.

Hewinia smoothed down her hair which the wind had ruffled and said calmly, "That sounds like a threat, Mr. Visas."

"No, not a threat," Bai Wei laughed, "I'm just stating the facts."

"Is that so?" Hewinia said politely, "Unfortunately for you, the fact you mentioned will not come true, and you have been mistaken from the start."

"Oh?"

"I never planned to play the Seven Notes·Divine Song alone." Hewinia continued, "You seem to know something about my past, so you should understand that those who climb out of the Seed District desire nothing more than an identity, a stable life, and as it happens, I already have these things. So, I am going to strive to maintain my current life, to become the real Hewinia, instead of risking it all for some pointless venture. So I'm afraid I will disappoint you, but I won't cooperate with you, nor will I become your score."

"Is that so?"

Hewinia looked down at her left hand, at the jade-like middle finger.

"You have illuminated a note for me, and for that, I thank you. So I am willing to lend you my body for a while so that you can recover," Hewinia stated, "But please, honor your promise and leave my body when your wounds are healed, okay?"

"Of course, there's no problem with that," Bai Wei's tone contained no regret from being refused, only ease, "I always keep my promises, to every partner I've ever had."

"Is that so?" Hewinia nodded slightly, "Well then, please take good rest within my body. Forgive me for not being able to keep you company any longer, as I have my own matters to attend to."

"Of course," Hewinia heard Bai Wei yawning, "After so much talk, I am indeed tired. So goodnight, Miss Hevnia."

"It should be good afternoon, Mr. Visas."

Hewinia looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky and then turned to leave the dock, heading back to the dormitory.

But at that moment, she heard Bai Wei say leisurely,

"Between life and death, there is another path."

"If you choose to take that path, you can cry out my name."

"But from that moment on, you shall become my score."
