Lily arrived to her first lecture right on time, looking for a seat, when she saw a bubbly girl waving at her. In the original owner's memories this seems to be her roommate and the only one she talked to. It seems that the original owner was a true ice beauty, a little bit indifferent, despite her charming face and kind of timid. It saved Lily time trying to get along with everyone, but at least she was not completely alone.

"Hey, I got you a seat." said the bubbly girl named Mi Na.

"Thank you." said Lily gently as she sat down and soon enough the professor arrived.

"Hello, class, I'm professor Min and in this semester we will focus on the college's 150th anniversary." Professor Min said as soon as he stood on the podium. "Some of you may already know, but to does who do not. This year we are celebrating our 150th founding anniversary in a big scale. The school will invite big shots who have graduated from this school and as part of the Music Department, the piano major has to participate. Also the music department will be celebrating its founding the same week, so we will be preparing a mini concerts through out the whole week, showcasing the seniors work. Everyone has the chance to participate, but it all depends on one's efforts."

Low chatters and cheers of excitements could be heard throughout the room. Although the piano major is quite famous, but the amount of students is not much compared to other departments, for this reason everyone had a chance to shine.

It seems that I could use this opportunity. Lily thought to herself.

After the lesson, Lily started planning a counterattack against Xie Jiao, while quietly sitting alone on a music room with a piano trying to look for a solo piece to play for the anniversary.

So, how should I unmask her. Lily said to her system. Are there any cheats I can receive?


[Actually yes, you can use your accumulated points to draw things from the system that could help you according to the situation. Unfortunately you have no points. But as an intellectual system I could help you in other ways like compiling or searching for things. I can act as what people could call a computer, an otherwordly computer.] the mechanical voice sounded.

Oh that's pretry awesome. If that's the case could you hack onto someone's phone or computer? Could you hack onto surveillance camaras? Lily asked kind of excited.

[Yes, I basically could do all that.]

Well then this could make things easier. I want people to see her true face, the part that she tries to hide from everyone else and I think monitoring her would be quite helpful. At the same time I want to destroy her self-esteem, maybe like make herself doubt everyday, but that would be later on. For now I think we could start with following her whereabouts. Lily said coldly.

[Okay, host, I'll try my best.]

Thank you. Lily said cheerfully.

From the original owner's experience Lily could tell that she has to be wary of people. You could never know someone's real thoughts from their face alone. So one thing she notted on her heart was to not believe everything you see. So being prepared would be the best and not tearing her 'family relationship' with Xiao Jiao, could help her gather more evidence or clues now.

I think being cautious but prepared would be the best thing. But for now I think I should concentrate on my piano skills. This will be my first time playing. Lily thought to herself

System, will I have the same skills as the original host? Or will I have to learn them from zero? Lily tentatively asked.

[You will have the original owner's skills, you just have to get used to them. But the talent is innate.]

Oh, that's good. I'm thinking of maybe composing a new song, with the original host's skills I don't think that would be a problem and somehow I also want to search a way to vent all the remnant emotions from the original host. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning and that's uncomfortable. Lily said to the system.

At this time Lily started to play some keys in the piano trying to get familiar with it. After getting the hang of it, she started playing a melody from memory. Feeling herself more familiar with the music, she started playing the piano and drowning the world around her, just feeling the music, like in a trance.

What she didn't know is that right at this moment someone was passing through this building and being entranced with the music that person searched for the room where the music was coming from. The scene presenting before that person was of a young girl with long hair and beautiful profile, seating in an elegant posture, with eyes closed playing the piano and pouring her feelings on the music. Adding to the scene you could see specks of sunlight shining through the windows, like dancing with the keys as those thin and pretty hands played the piano.

Just one thing was left in that person's mind to describe the scene, prettier than a painting.
