Chapter 579: The Dark Song Order
“Bang!”
Fireworks exploded in the night sky.
Laughter echoed through the air, and joy permeated the atmosphere.
“Lovely!”
“Mom is really, really happy to see you graduate from high school. It’s truly wonderful!”
Tears welled up in Mother’s eyes as she gently stroked Nian’s hair. Nian responded with a smile.
She chuckled, her voice light, “Hmm, Mom, I’m so happy too! I can finally play to my heart’s content!”
But then, Mother’s face turned serious. She tapped Nian on the head and said, “What are you saying? Even when you go to college, don’t slack off. Remember, studying is still the most important.”
Nian immediately exclaimed, “Ah, this isn’t what we agreed on! Haven’t we been saying all these years that once we go to college, we can play freely?”
Father laughed from beside them, his voice warm, “Hahaha, every high school student believes in this, hahaha! It’s not just you who got fooled, my dear!”
“Oh, my youthful days!”
She looked just like any other high school girl, full of life and innocence.
Two years passed.
Unknowingly, two years had already slipped by.
Today was “Ke Xin’s” graduation ceremony.
As a high school student named “Ke Xin,” Nian had been living in this virtual world for a full two years.
During this time, she had made new friends and gradually developed a deep affection for her parents.
But deep inside, Nian knew the truth.
“This is all false,” she thought.
She understood that she couldn’t remain attached or sink deeper into this world. She had to leave her home, if only for a while.
“I must find him… and kill him…”
The Babel Tower was still waiting for its rescue, unwilling to live a false life and gamble on who would die last. She had an inkling of what the other might do to end the game.
“Oh no.”
Nian sighed deeply.
“Kexin, please smile!”
Her friend, excited, held up a camera and took a photo of her. They stood together, smiling as the camera’s timer counted down.
Everyone took many photos, capturing the moment.
The soon-to-graduate female high school students laughed and danced, cherishing the fleeting moments of their youth.
Parents wept with joy, their hearts overflowing with pride.
“Kexin” smiled too, feeling a sense of happiness she had never known before.
If… only if…
If they could live here forever, that would be wonderful.
But Nian knew better. This was an irresponsible thought, an impossible dream.
She would never abandon her responsibility.
If it weren’t for her unshakable determination, Nian would never have led the rebel army in their struggle within the prison.
She knew all too well that this city was a lie. This world was a lie.
In the span of two years, Nian had visited the outskirts of the city multiple times, encountering walls that shimmered like water.
Yet, the people seemed unaware of the world’s boundary.
They believed this world had many cities, many countries. But in reality, everything existed solely within this one city.
For two years, Nian had tried countless ways to locate her enemy, but each attempt failed.
Finally, she decided to focus her search on one specific lead.
“Dark Song Order.”
This mysterious and eerie organization had appeared suddenly over the past two years.
They worshiped a peculiar deity known as the “Dark Song.” Rumors claimed this deity possessed infinite power and could grant any wish.
For reasons unknown, more and more influential people in various cities began to believe in the Dark Song Order.
Yet, the organization remained secretive, with little known about it.
Nian also learned about the Dark Song Order through special means.
“That person, perhaps they are at the Dark Song Order?”
Determined to find out more, Nian decided to join the organization herself.
But joining the Dark Song Order was no easy feat.
Through a special channel, Nian had received an invitation letter from the secretive group.
Tonight, she would undergo their so-called “assessment.”
At a predetermined time and place, she donned a mask and waited for someone from the Dark Song Order to arrive.
Only those who passed the assessment could truly join the Order.
“I hope we can find him.”
The person she had to eliminate.
Late at night, Nian quietly left her room.
Although her body wasn’t from the World of Noah, and she lacked extraordinary powers, her skills allowed her to move swiftly and gracefully.
With ease, she leaped from the third-floor window.
Wearing a black round mask and a men’s suit, Nian stepped into the deserted streets under the cover of night.
She waited in silence.
Soon, a black luxury car appeared at the corner, halting in front of her.
“Get in the car.”
The men inside, wearing featureless black masks, were all serious.
Without a word, Nian nodded and entered the car.
The moment she sat down, a mist sprayed into the car, and Nian fell unconscious.
About half an hour later, the car stopped at a hidden church.
The masked man used another mist to wake Nian, though in reality, she had never truly lost consciousness.
“We have arrived, follow us.”
Was this the place?
The Dark Song Order…
Nian was lost in thought.
They exited the luxury car and slowly entered the church, a quiet, desolate place under the dark sky.
Inside the dimly lit church, a hidden door opened to reveal an eerie, shadowy hall.
Everyone in the hall wore black, round masks and dark clothing, but the silence was suffocating.
Most of them were wealthy or influential, yet they all willingly joined the Dark Song Order.
Someone handed Nian a note.
“Don’t speak.”
The note read, and everywhere she looked, she saw white flowers.
On a huge black wall, a line of words caught her eye:
“In the quiet stillness, we listened, we read, we shed tears… all because of His silent song in the darkness.”
It seemed to be a teaching.
A familiar teaching.
Nian felt a sense of déjà vu.
At that moment, she thought of someone.
But that person… they probably weren’t part of the Tower organization, right?
“How strange,” she mused.
Why did so many things here remind her of herself?
Then, her eyes narrowed.
From the crowd, a young girl emerged, wearing a round mask and black robe. Her face was hidden, but she moved silently and gracefully, commanding reverence from everyone present.
So that’s how it was.
Indeed, it was her!
Hmm, could this person be someone who joined the Tower organization later?
Nian now understood.
Her opponent was none other than the new member of the Tower organization… and the former leader of Noah World’s largest cult: the supreme leader of Dead Silence, the one who worshipped the “Peaceful Songstress.”
Silence.
The silent girl walked up to Nian and gently reached out her hand, as though offering solace, her presence like that of an angel embracing the World.
The crowd fell into reverent silence.
Nian, on the other hand, knelt on one knee, allowing Silence to caress her head, as if a devout new believer.
