57. The Death of Haimofen (Please subscribe)

Strange music from an alien dimension pulsed endlessly from the twisted, distorted sky, with insidious notes woven into the chords played by a violinist with frantic movements and a charming face.

Haimofen's five fingers moved with agility, his blades transformed into a bow as he scraped and plucked at the Human Hair Strings. He was a one-man orchestra, playing a Hell Symphony titled "Curse" with movements exceeding human limits, in a state of panic and madness. His gaze was fervent, his inner self fearful; contradictory emotions filled his entire, pure musical heart.

With musical talent that was meager compared to the Alien God, he created a chaotic and radical Magic Sound of curses. Using his own fragile, thin human body to play this music of the underworld, he gave his all to construct a spiritual defense line with the finished movement to protect the audience at the concert hall. He attempted to use the transcendent chords as a spear of attack, challenging the interdimensional demon god that had already taken the lives and souls of countless human musical geniuses.

This was a hymn to human courage, and also a bugle call for humanity to attack the demon realm.

When Haimofen's second movement began to play, those interdimensional notes, which had been like unbridled mercury permeating everything, were suddenly swallowed and scattered by the majestic symphony. The twisted, flowing vortex in the sky also ceased its operation for a moment, like a face frozen in astonishment.

The interdimensional musician, situated within that distorted and twisted vortex of strange colors, felt a genuine sense of anger and shame after a long shock, upon discovering that a hellish movement played by a tiny human in a state of hysteria could actually break through the musical beauty she prided herself on.

The enraged interdimensional musician also picked up her instrument, which did not belong to the human world. No longer performing her usual, perfunctory work with ease, she used the low-pitched, wondrous music she normally used to soothe the sleeping Lord of All Things to trample and crush the human bug that dared to challenge a god. She would use the most monotonous, yet most distorted and evil, deep bass to shatter these humans' ridiculous wishes.

Following a low, booming explosion of sound, Haimofen's handsome and beautiful face instantly lost its color, and fresh, crimson blood began to seep from his Seven Orifices.

Looking like a demon, Haimofen seemed to hear the angry roar of the interdimensional musician. From the opponent's suddenly erupting offensive momentum, he felt disdain for himself, contempt for humanity, and a slight fear buried beneath the flames of anger and the coldness of contempt. He smiled silently, his movements playing the violin becoming increasingly frantic. His agile ten fingers exceeded the limits of human vision; one could only see a chaotic blur of finger shadows and blade light flashing over the violin. The symphony of the Curse grew ever more impassioned and surging...

Upon discovering that an Abnormal event had occurred at Haimofen's comeback concert, the Xuanmi Group authorities reacted with the fastest speed, temporarily and urgently filing it as a Heaven-Level Abnormal event, and dispatching the two main forces closest to the scene, members of the Tiger Team and the Snake Team, to investigate and handle it.

However, despite the timely reaction, when the Tiger Team members closest to the scene arrived with a group of local branch members, everything was already a step too late.

Over two thousand audience members sat in their seats, hollow and expressionless, motionless, showing no reaction to any changes around them. Even when members of the Mysterious Investigator team waved gestures in front of them or touched their bodies, their muscles remained tense, as if petrified, without any response.

"Their brains have also been destroyed by some power, undergoing irreversible distortion." A Grade B Mysterious Investigator holding a special scanning instrument discovered after scanning the brains of several audience members that their brains had mutated, becoming swollen and twisted. With a sallow complexion, he reported his findings to the captain, He Jia'an.

"What exactly did the music of this concert attract?" He Jia'an muttered to himself. Although his expression did not change much, layers of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The Abnormal event that occurred at this concert caused varying degrees of sensation around the world in just a few hours. After hearing Haimofen's music, those people soon began to go mad, dancing unconsciously and whispering and chanting in languages they themselves were not familiar with.

After the live broadcast was suddenly cut off, the concert ended, and those affected by the violin music at Haimofen's concert all fainted one after another.

No one could have imagined that Haimofen, a musical genius still considered within the human realm by everyone, had actually created a Forbidden Song that made the world tremble. In the final frames before the live stream was cut, the suddenly intruding unknown bass seemed to secretly hint to the outside world that the Forbidden Song created by Haimofen had even alarmed existences from other dimensions.

Unfortunately, the recording equipment at the Gymnasium was destroyed by an unknown force. During the time before the Xuanmi Group members arrived, a fierce battle seemed to have taken place. The power unleashed in that battle destroyed all equipment with radio signals at the scene, and even all electrical appliances.

Thus, no one could reconstruct everything that happened in those few short minutes. They could only find clues from the body of Haimofen, which had already turned into a shriveled, withered corpse. This young musical genius who created a work beyond humanity might have completed a feat unimaginable to humans.

Haimofen's body was shriveled and thin, his face maintaining a wild laugh from before his death, but his Seven Orifices were all a bloody mess, like empty red holes, just like the chaotic wonder he had stared at in his final moments. In his hands, full of twisted scars and flesh-holes, he gripped a piece of the violin; the strings were no longer on the body of the instrument, seemingly having shattered and vanished long ago.

Tonight was destined to be a huge loss for humanity; more than two thousand audience members at Haimofen's concert became bedridden, vegetative patients, and at the same time, a musical genius who could have been famous for ages was lost.

This Abnormal event had a huge impact. Judging from the breadth of its influence, it was the most malignant Abnormal event encountered since the founding of the Xuanmi Group, and also the most tragic event encountered by Abnormal event counter-organizations worldwide.

Although in this Abnormal event, the only person who seemed to have died was Haimofen.

……

"What a pity, Lin Laoban, I was just a little bit away from succeeding." Haimofen took the hot towel handed over by Wei Jiang, said thanks, and while wiping his face and body covered in blood, said with regret.

"Keep your feet on the ground, take it one step at a time. Besides, from now on, you have plenty of time." Lin Ling poured a cup of hot tea for Haimofen, his eyes sweeping over the other's illusory, floating feet.

Hearing this, Haimofen grinned, looked at his own hands—returned to being fair, slender, and flawless—and laughed: "You are right." With a thought, the glove installed with five-fingered blades covered his hand again.

Saying this, Haimofen apologized to Li Jiahong with an apologetic face: "This time I brought an unpleasant experience for you and your daughter. I will compensate you."

Li Jiahong showed a stiff smile and asked curiously: "Teacher Haimofen, what will you do about your future concerts?"

"Hold them as scheduled, of course." Haimofen smiled slightly, the sharp-bladed glove showing a demonic danger under the control of his agile fingers, and said, "It's just that they will be in dreams."
