Chapter 190 Doesn’t Match the Script
That said-
Finished
If the sky really did fall, someone taller would catch it first. Even if danger was looming, it would be Ludwig and his people who had to deal with it.
Jean saw herself as nothing more than a fringe member of the group – a nameless grunt, barely noticeable, and with no memories to speak of…
Whatever was going on, it definitely wasn’t her problem to solve.
Once that warning was out of the way, Moon and the others shifted topics and started discussing the organization’s current assignments.
Abyssal Choir, as it turned out, was taking on client jobs in exchange for payment.
That wasn’t a secret.
—
The Central Theater case had been one of them a mission carried out on behalf of a female student who had requested help.
Right now, most of their discussion revolved around similar jobs – paid tasks for various clients.
Jean frowned slightly in frustration.
What about the internal operations of Abyssal Choir?
Helping clients for cash was fine and all, but it wasn’t the kind of intel Jean was looking for.
What she really wanted to know was: why was Abyssal Choir formed? What was their ultimate goal?
Was it really just about the money?
It didn’t seem like it.
In the novel, Abyssal Choir was the terrifying antagonist group that dared to go head–to–head with the heroine…
Jean kept her eyes lowered, listening quietly as the others talked.
Abyssal Choir’s assignments were incredibly varied–like finding a client’s son who had gone missing in the mountains.
When the police and search–and–rescue teams had failed, the client had turned to the dark web and found Abyssal Choir.
There was also a request to find a missing cat.
And another to help someone escape an abusive father
And so on.
Jean’s brow furrowed deeper. The more she heard, the more things didn’t add up.

All these jobs including the one where they helped the girl escape from misery –
–
They were all overwhelmingly… positive?
Helpful? Even wholesome?
No. Something was seriously off.
This didn’t match the Abyssal Choir she’d read about at all.

The Abyssal Choir- the blood–soaked villain group, the terrifying force of darkness…
Sure, they hadn’t reached that stage yet – this was still early in the timeline – but even so, shouldn’t they already be showing some signs of moral decay?
Unless…
Unless Abyssal Choir did start off as a righteous, justice–driven group – and somewhere in the future, something catastrophic happened that pushed them into the abyss.
If that was the case, then just how severe did that turning point have to be, to cause such a massive shift?
Jean felt a chill creep up her spine.
Maybe being involved with Abyssal Choir wasn’t as safe as she thought…
“Hey Moon, when do you think we’ll get to meet the boss?“.
The masked man called Silver let out a chuckle, his tone half–teasing, half–curious.
As soon as he said it, Jean noticed a tiny flicker of tension at the corner of Ludwig’s lips.
Barely perceptible. Gone in an instant.
But she caught it.
The boy quickly smoothed it over, his pale expression returning to its usual cold indifference.
Moon, on the other hand, just let out a self–deprecating laugh. “To be honest, I haven’t seen him in a long time either.”
Jean immediately perked up, her attention laser–focused. She was very interested in the leader of Abyssal Choir, and now she wanted nothing more than to hear more from Moon.
–
In the novel, the leader had barely been described that absence made him feel all the more mysterious, and dangerous.
Jean vaguely remembered the novel mentioning his codename once-
But she hadn’t paid attention back then, so she never memorized it.
“What’s he even busy with all the time?” Silver asked, arching a brow.
Moon shook her head. “How would I know? That guy’s always been impossible to pin down…”
