"Professor Labedo of the Upper City Music Academy published a paper in 2064, discussing how to use the resonance of music and the human soul to suppress the violent genes in one's body."
"Although this paper didn't make a big splash in Nest City, I found it quite reasonable, so I delved into it. I discovered that through my music, I could indeed make bloodthirsty thugs lay down their weapons, bringing peace to the violence-loving Floating Island."
Mokaka spoke seriously.
Seeing the doubt on Yun You's face, she snapped her fingers, dismissed the soundproof drone, and then took a USB from her pocket, tossing it to the Tian En beside her.
"Little En, play the track."
Even though she could command drones, for some reason, Mokaka preferred to instruct Tian En, treating the latter as her "personal maid."
Perhaps, in this young lady's eyes, people are always more handy than machines.
However, Tian En herself didn't mind this at all.
As Mokaka's most fervent admirer, she was more than willing to be Mokaka's maid, dedicating everything to this petite leader.
She quickly ran to the camp's main control room, inserted the USB into the computer.
Before long, a rather passionate rock music began to play through the camp's broadcast system.
This was the music composed personally by Mokaka.
Due to the lack of a lead singer, the song had no lyrics, but the melody was very immersive, with the opening notes resonating with Yun You's wavelengths.
No... strictly speaking, not just Yun You.
Everyone in the camp, after hearing the rock melody, unconsciously stopped what they were doing and raised their heads instinctively.
Some people with headphones on didn't hear it at first, so the people around them would take the initiative to remind them to take off their headphones.
"Lord Mokaka has started playing again."
They indulged in the intricately winding melody, their faces enraptured under the influence of the music.
Even the mercenaries and the Apprentice Death God who accompanied Mokaka into the Floating Island started enjoying the music, breaking into rare smiles.
People who were terminally ill closed their eyes to the melody, with much of the bone-deep pain alleviated, finally able to enjoy a peaceful sleep.
Prisoners with a pessimistic outlook on life, believing they would never return to the normal world, unconsciously quieted down. The despair within them slowly dissipated, replaced by a glimmer of hope.
The mercenaries and Apprentice Death God, covered in a killing aura, seemed to experience a complete "soul cleansing," their inherent bloodthirstiness significantly reduced. If they encountered an enemy they usually couldn't spare, they might just let them live this time.
As for Yun You...
Honestly, from the moment she first heard the music, the complex emotions of doubt and anxiety in her heart began to gradually weaken.
She was no longer eager to drag Mokaka back, and even the ever-present fire of revenge in her mind dimmed a bit.
"What's the rush for revenge? You now possess immense power and a terrifying talent, destined for a better life, so enjoy it first... As a strong, wealthy individual, enjoy the world's beauty."
"Once you've had your fill of enjoyment, then start contemplating revenge. That way, you won't feel any regrets in this life..."
"..."
"No, that's wrong."
Yun You suddenly opened her eyes, a drop of cold sweat trickling down her forehead.
Those thoughts only lasted for a moment, but they made the little girl's heart race uncontrollably.
She realized that her mind had become momentarily hazy, as if being led by some force, or "hypnotized," to the point where she dared to forget about revenge...
And the culprit behind all this was none other than the one-minute-thirty-second-long song by Mokaka.
Mokaka wasn't exaggerating; her music truly could influence people's minds!
[I feel something is off, Yun...]
Master Zero spoke softly, with a hint of unease in his tone.
[A song capable of hypnotizing and changing human perception is quite rare.]
[In my memory, only a certain exalted 'God' can do such things.]
"God?"
Yun You was slightly startled but soon understood Master Zero's meaning.
"You mean like the blue double-headed monster... that 'Master of All Changes' kind of being?"
"Isn't that related to the 'Tower Race' again?"
The title of God is not uncommon in Nest City.
Entities like the Master of War and Slaughter and the Master of Mediation for commerce and peace are believed to be endowed with divinity.
But whether or not they truly exist remains to be investigated...
The only God confirmed to exist is the 'Master of the Tower,' worshipped by the Tower Race.
"Master Zero, are you suggesting that Mokaka is actually a 'Divine Chosen' of a Master of the Tower, just like Aurora is a Divine Chosen of the Master of All Changes?"
Yun You frowned deeply.
It's important to know that this place is the Floating Island Prison, one of the few places in Nest City equipped with reality stabilizers, capable of suppressing both Apprentice Death Gods and souls. How could it not suppress the powers of the Master of the Tower?
[The power system of the Tower Race differs from that of the Apprentice Death Gods. Even now, the academic world knows almost nothing about this race, so it's quite normal that reality stabilizers can't suppress them.]
[Mokaka's music indeed contains power akin to that of the Master of the Tower, but I can't confirm if she's a Divine Chosen yet. It might just be that she has had extraordinary talent since childhood and was blessed by some powerful entity.]
[But regardless of how life's going, this undeniably counts as a kind of supernatural power... The song is nice to hear, but to influence people's minds with just a simple melody, without the backing of special power, is absolutely impossible.]
Upon hearing these words, Yun You nodded repeatedly.
She hadn't heard many songs, but she knew something was amiss.
Mokaka surely has secrets yet to be uncovered.
"Well, what do you think? Isn't it quite good?"
Mokaka lazily leaned against the sofa, speaking calmly: "I never exaggerate anything or utter meaningless lies."
"When I say my music can persuade people to be good, it certainly can."
"And don't misunderstand, my music is not about hypnotizing others. That method is far too low-grade; I do know how, but I disdain to use it."
Saying this, she handed her tablet to Yun You, and on it was a music sheet along with its corresponding lyrics.
"Every note in the music was meticulously selected by me. Played alone, perhaps it's nothing special, but together, they create a mysterious power."
"It can produce a wonderful resonance with the human soul, thus achieving the effect of persuading people toward goodness."
