Becoming a White-Haired Witch in a World Full of Anomalies

Chapter 66 : Mad Pianist

The second nightIn the high-end hotel at the city center

"It's you again, kid!"

"Where's your mother? Why didn't she come with you today?"

Amid everyone's discussions, the boy wore a mask, remaining silent, turning a deaf ear to the surrounding words, slowly walking toward the hotel's piano.

His eyes only had this piano, but not out of love for it.

As he began playing the piano, although he could only play ordinary pieces according to sheet music, the surrounding people still continuously praised him.

"Amazing, simply a genius."

"Yes, my son doesn't have this talent."

"Really impressive, I envy these people born with talent."

The boy's playing remained steady, but nameless anger had already risen in his heart.

As time passed, the boy's performance gradually reached its climax. He played more and more frantically.

When reaching a certain critical point, the boy suddenly stopped playing. The moment people around began whispering, he started banging his head against the piano.

"What is he doing?"

"Gone crazy?"

The boy's mask fell to the ground. His head began bleeding, that smile stretching to his ears particularly eerie. He banged against the piano faster and faster until blood stained the piano red.

"Crazy, do you know how much this piano costs?"

"Quickly throw him out."

"Wait, his mouth, how is it like that?"

The boy began laughing madly, looking at the blood-red keys before him. He slowly raised his hands.

Sharp sounds came from the keys. This time it was no longer beautiful piano music, but noise, piercing noise!

I've never really found playing piano enjoyable.

Whenever my mother left, I would randomly play the piano, making noise. I never dared tell anyone that I actually don't like piano at all.

But now, I no longer need to hide. This is the music I like, truly beautiful melody!

The surrounding commotion began slowly stopping. People just stood there quietly appreciating the boy's noise as if he were playing heavenly music.

Clearly just randomly hitting keys, clearly without any pattern, but now everyone would dance because of me!

With the piano sounds, more and more people began gathering here. Hundreds, thousands. The piano sound grew louder and louder. Surrounding buildings began collapsing. The boy's anomalous domain quietly unfolded. This was a world full of "music." With his playing, people around began cooperating by using their bodies to crash into walls, using their heads to hit pillars, making waves of noise. Even if bloody and battered, even if already dead, they wouldn't stop!

"I will bring this moving melody of blood and flesh to the world!"

"Hello, this is headquarters, go ahead."

"No, not good, the entire city center has fallen!"

"What? What happened?"

"It's noise... no, wrong, it's... beautiful music!"

The operator at E City headquarters base anxiously shouted, but there was no more response from the other side. Noise came through the headphones.

The moment she heard this noise, the operator also became dazed, then madly banged her head against the desk, her mouth showing an eerie smile.

○

This audio began appearing in various group chats. There would always be people who couldn't help but curiously click on it.

"What is this you sent me?"

"Say something. Fine, I'll check it first."

Piercing noise and sounds of flesh hitting walls came through. The man immediately became dazed, then showed an eerie smile and began using his body to crash into surrounding objects.

Somewhere in A City, in a mysterious space, Director Heaven's Secret sat in a spherical machine with countless tiny tubes connected to his head.

Director Heaven's Secret slowly opened his eyes, left the sphere, tore through space, and came to a city made of wires - Black City.

"Yo, what wind brought you here?"

A black head made of wires floated in the air, speaking sarcastically.

"Won't you act?"

"Why should I act?"

"E City has fallen. Your advancement plan can't be completed either."

"Hmph, I can wait until the end to act, watching you both suffer losses."

"Stop the audio spread on the internet. You don't need to worry about the rest. Otherwise, you'll be destroyed along with E City."

"Yes, yes, my dear Director."

The head made of black wires returned to that giant computer and began devouring audio on the internet.

After returning to A City, Director Heaven's Secret entered that high-tech spherical machine again - an anomalous tool to deceive the world.

Under Heaven's Secret's control, anomaly news would be covered up. If everyone in the world learned of anomalies' existence, the fear from them might form a completely new anomaly with unimaginable consequences.

"Performance, restart."

"Come, let our voices spread across this land."

"Noise? That's because you don't know how to appreciate it. The sound of human joints breaking - how wonderful?"

○

"Captain, what's the plan?"

Explosion Head's voice came through the phone. He was now positioned at the periphery of the Mad Pianist's anomalous domain.

"First seal off that area. Wear headphones, don't get infected."

"This is also caused by those tainted objects, right?"

Bai Ling, who was eating anomaly cores on the nearby sofa, asked.

"Most likely. Those flowers are usually fine, at most creating some low-grade anomalies. But once they encounter people with extreme emotions, they become like this."

Chi Xiaoyu held a registration form. If they encountered anomalies they couldn't handle, they could register to request headquarters processing. Clearly, this pianist wasn't something they could handle...

"Codename: Mad Pianist, infectious anomaly, tentatively B-grade, kilometer-wide giant anomalous domain around city center, infected population in the thousands."

"Ordinary people who hear his noise become like the infected, losing reason and madly crashing into surrounding objects. Due to his special abilities, even contractors will lose reason after hearing his noise too long. Probably can't be easily killed. Now requesting headquarters support."

"Hello?"

Su Wanying greeted as she walked in. Bai Ling and Chi Xiaoyu both looked at the girl, who was now wearing a black dress and carrying a bag.

"Why are you here?"

"I went back to handle some matters these past days. As soon as I finished, I came back. Where's Lin Bai?"

"I don't know either."

【As if. This white-haired red-eyed anomaly beside me is Lin Bai. You'd never guess even if you racked your brains】

Su Wanying looked at the report in Chi Xiaoyu's hands, thought for a moment and said.

"Need my help?"

"Having you come is a great help. E City can't even find one A-grade contractor now."

She still recognized Su Wanying's abilities. Chi Xiaoyu threw down the registration form, put on a brand new exoskeleton armor, and drew out a sharp long blade. Chapters fırst released on novelhall.com

"Let's go. We're going to stop this farce."

"Sigh, overtime again?" Bai Ling, who had just finished being busy, slowly got up and sighed.
