Who hid My Corpse!

Ulysses suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the ancient tree swaying in the fierce wind outside the room. The bells on the tree were playing a soaring melody.

"She has made her move after all."

Ulysses chuckled and spoke.

"Just as you predicted," Anita, who was waiting by the side, said, "She truly is a bold and crazy person."

"Indeed." Ulysses smiled, "In a thousand years, this is the first time an original score has come this far. Whatever the outcome, she has already made history."

"But I think this is where she stops," Anita said, "Tonight, she is against the entire Holy Sound."

"Hehe." Ulysses laughed, "Those people cannot represent the whole Holy Sound, but you are right, the trouble she is facing is indeed not small, especially with Raul, but..."

He paused.

"It's in dire situations that great works are more likely to be born, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Anita remained silent for a moment and then slowly nodded.

"Understood." She stood up, "I will bear witness for you. Tonight... please leave everything to me, Principal."

Ulysses smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Anita."

...

Todd felt uneasy.

Although he couldn't explain why, he had a persistent feeling that something major was about to happen since earlier.

Of course, tonight was bound to be significant in itself.

The final external song would end at midnight tonight, and come tomorrow, the first internal song would begin, and they, the true players, would take the stage to offer songs of praise to the great Lord of Sound.

Logically, he should be feeling happy.

Not only would he be performing as the lead, but also because their biggest rivals at this festival, the Lawrence Family, had effectively lost their competitiveness, unable to vie for first place anymore.

In this way, the status of the two big families of Taichu would remain unshaken.

And his annoying brother, having lost the possibility of victory, could no longer make any waves.

It should be a joyous double blessing.

But why couldn't he find any happiness in it?

Is it because of that 'Cesar' who still hasn't been caught?

That is indeed a hidden threat, but theoretically, he shouldn't have any more opportunities.

As long as tonight passes and the external and internal songs are seamlessly connected, and the Lord's gaze sweeps across the earth, he shouldn't have another chance to act.

Even if he doesn't act, he won't be able to continue hiding, because the Dean has already made preparations over at the Eternal Notes, and once the Dean completes the ceremony, he won't even have the capital to keep hiding.

So, theoretically, running away is his best choice.

After all, he has already gathered so many notes, even if he doesn't participate in the festival and leaves the Holy Sound directly, he could live well anywhere with that power; there's no need to leap into such a dead end.

Even taking another step back, even if that guy is just unwilling to give up and wants to take one last shot, Todd doesn't need to worry too much.

Not only because he is surrounded by several Golden Sound players sent by the family, but also because Todd's note is the Third Note, and according to intelligence, that guy already has the Third Note, so there's no reason to make a move on him.

Hmm... he has no reason to attack me.

Todd kept comforting himself.

Unfortunately, it wasn't much use, as he stopped in front of the rehearsal room door, turning to ask the servant, "What time is it now?"

"It's already eight o'clock," the servant replied, "In less than an hour, Dean Raul will start the ceremony."

Is there only one hour left?

And still no signs of any action from that guy.

It seems he really has given up.

Todd thought this, then pushed open the door to the rehearsal room.

He immediately caught the heavy scent of blood.

He paused, instinctively lifting his head.

And saw a stunning girl standing in a pool of blood, silently gazing at him.

...

"She has already made her move!"

"At least three witnesses can confirm, it's Hewinia!"

"Karen Chuke and Evan Dali are already dead!"

"Todd Chuke and she had a brief encounter and is seriously injured, she's currently still chasing Todd!"

Within the Eternal Festival, Raul listened to the continuous reports from the staff while looking up at the magnificent Eternal Notes in front of him.

Even though he tried hard to remain calm, his constantly twitching eyebrows betrayed his current state of mind.

"Mr. Phinis." He turned to look at Phinis sitting nearby, "What do you think she really wants to do? As far as I know, Karen, Evan, and Todd's notes, she should already have them, why make a move on them at this time?"

"Dean," Phinis's expression was also not very pleasant, and he shook his head, smiling bitterly, "If I understood, do you think I would still be sitting here?"

Yes, the current situation had completely exceeded Raul's expectations.

It's important to know that Raul was already prepared for Hewinia to make a desperate last effort, having secured the note she was missing— the Second Note— around him.

That is, Phinis and the female Second Note player from the Ether family.

If Hewinia wanted to gather the Seven Notes, she would have to take down one of the Second Notes here.

But by doing so, Hewinia would have to confront Raul directly.
