　　As soon as Shao Xian opened her web browser, she was presented with a bold red font on the screen:

　　"The Divine Song of the Masked Challenger!"

　　"A New Queen of Music!"

　　"A Divine Voice to Save our World!"

　　Shao Xian could not contain her excitement and euphoria after browsing all of the major news websites — she realized that she had attained her lifelong dream of becoming a known figure.

　　Sai Gao picked up a nail clipper and began to work on his fingernails. Li Yiming frowned at the information on the screen, conjecturing about the reasoning behind Mr. Kong's seeking Shao Xian to deliver the performance.

　　Shao Xian went onto the site she normally streamed from and began the log-in process, full of glee. Her web browser slowed down considerably, and it only took a few seconds to understand why: her inbox had been flooded with tens of thousands of messages. Shao Xian glanced back at Li Yiming and then scrolled through her inbox. Without exception, the messages all praised her amazing performance and expressed admiration. Tears began to roll down Shao Xian's cheeks as it finally dawned upon her that she reached her life goal.

　　Li Yiming gave her a tap in the back to express his support. It was her moment of glory, and hers alone. He then exchanged a glance with Sai Gao, the two of them thinking the same question — 'Why her? What is Mr. Kong up to?'

　　"What do you think of this song?" Sai Gao put down the nail clipper and scratched the back of his other hand lightly.

　　"I know the lyrics… It comes from the Scripture of Purity and Stillness, but this tune…" Li Yiming took a deep breath and listened to the song once more.

　　"The music is a spell. The Seal of Spirit and Heart," Sai Gao whispered to Li Yiming.

　　"What kind of spell is that?" Li Yiming put the phone down on the table, replaying the song over and over again.

　　"Buddhism teaches us to attain enlightenment by ridding ourselves of our sin. Taoism teaches us to reach the Heavens by removing the three deaths which plague us. These are one and the same: they refer to human desires. This spell…"

　　"It can rid the world of such things?" Li Yiming noticed that he felt relaxed and at peace when he listened to the song. If the song really did have the potential of removing the twisted desires of humankind, then it would be a huge blessing.

　　"It can't. Human desires cannot be defeated so simply. It's a seal, and sealing the desires is what it does…"
