Who hid my body?
Page 27
"...Will he come back?"
"His soul is no longer in this world, that's for sure, and the connection between those body parts is probably more like a lizard's tail twitching for a while after it's cut off," Corey said. "Visus won't come back, but that doesn't mean someone doesn't want to get more of his body, so this feature will be used by some people with ulterior motives."
He Li's expression gradually became serious: "You mean, there was a corpse holder very close to you just now?"
"All I can say is, at least it's not far away," Corey replied calmly, "and it's almost certain that it's coming for me."
"…Is it the guy named Uru?"
"Uru?" Corey thought for a moment and shook his head. "Not necessarily. There are more than one body parts scattered around in this world. Although the one in his hand is the most recent one, I don't think he dares to come here to find me. Of course, I can't rule out this possibility. Of course, the more likely possibility is..."
"You mean, Lyra?"
Corey neither admitted nor denied: "I can only say that both are possible. After all..."
He smiled.
"This eye is not a secret to me."
He Li asked: "Should we ask the Paladins to search the entire city?"
"No, let's not talk about whether we can find it first..." Corey said, "This is a sensitive period, and our friends are still in the city."
This is indeed a troublesome matter. He Li hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Should we report this to His Holiness the Pope? After all, according to the regulations..."
"In Som City, I am the rule." Corey interrupted Heri again. He looked directly at Heri, and that eye almost made Heri kneel down. "This eye is with me...it's safe."
It was absolutely against the rules not to report the information of another body part, but at this moment, Harry didn't dare to speak at all. The tremendous pressure almost broke his spine.
Finally, Corey looked away, and Hurry breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he was alive again.
"Anything else?" Corey asked calmly.
He Li wiped the sweat off his face without leaving any trace, and gave up the idea of reporting to the Pope. He reported honestly: "It's about your 'cleaning' work. At present, 10,000 'bugs' have been spread. If nothing unexpected happens, 80% of the cleaning work can be completed in less than a month."
Corey nodded: "I understand. I will personally carry it out on that day..."
He paused, then turned his head and looked at the gradually darkening sky.
"Clean up the dirt in this city."
……
After returning to the hotel, Ulu saw that the front desk was dark and even the lights were not on. He frowned slightly and remembered that the landlady seemed to have mentioned that she and Leah were going to the church to see a doctor.
This meant that he was the only one in the hotel now.
So Ulu couldn't help it, he raised his left hand and stared at his middle finger: "What did you mean by that?"
"Ok?"
"Who is the murderer who killed my mother?"
"I remember telling you before." Bai Wei's tone was still lazy.
"You mean it's High Priest Heri? How is that possible!" Ulu couldn't help but raise his voice, saying with a little anger, "High Priest Heri has never been to Petain Town, he has never known my mother..."
There was a snap.
Before he could finish his words, the door of a room opened, and Leah and the landlady came out holding candlesticks. They looked in surprise at Uru, who was standing in the dark and talking to his left middle finger.
"Sir, you are..."
Ulu was silent for a while and said, "I'm angry."
"Ah?" Leah asked tactlessly, "Are you angry with your fingers?"
"...Just now, an idiot didn't look at the road and bumped my finger, making it swollen." Ulu said expressionlessly, "That's why I'm angry."
Perhaps he felt that this excuse was too lame, so Ulu felt it was hard to say it, so after hesitating for a while, he pretended that he had not recovered from his anger and planned to go back to the room with a blank expression. In order to show that his finger was really hit, he kept his left hand raised and his middle finger raised as he walked forward, which looked a bit weird.
Leah wanted to ask something, but the proprietress patted her head gently and whispered, "Be polite."
Leah shut up obediently.
As he walked past the two of them, Ulu subconsciously glanced at the proprietress.
He didn't know if it was because the hotel was too dim, but he felt that the proprietress's face was paler than in the daytime.
He subconsciously wanted to ask something, but then he felt that it would be stupid to do so, so he gave up asking and walked away.
But what no one noticed was that the upright middle finger was quietly looking at the back of the proprietress.
A black worm was looming.

Chapter 48 Forty-Eight Origin Believers
Uru was really annoyed.
The one who was annoyed was naturally Bai Wei (it couldn't be anyone else), because after returning from the cathedral, he asked Bai Wei countless times who the murderer of his mother was.
But Bai Wei refused to answer directly, and kept saying, "You said you didn't believe me, you have to see it with your own eyes, so I brought you to him, but if you can't recognize it, then I can't do anything about it." Ulu was angry but helpless. First, he had made the deal a few days ago, and second, what else could he do even if he was angry? Facing the ancient soul hiding in his body, he had no other means to threaten Bai Wei except "I'll fight you".
So he could only endure it, but at the same time he had to confirm again and again: "Are you sure you really brought me to the murderer who killed my mother? Are you sure I saw it with my own eyes?"
"Of course." Bai Wei answered calmly, "As we said before the deal, I won't lie to you because there's no need, and..."
Bai Wei didn't finish his words, but Ulu could guess the meaning of the second half of the sentence - and you are not worthy of it.
Uru thought he had a certain understanding of Visas, the ancient soul that he had lived with for half a month. This guy had a very bad point, that is, the more anxious and angry he was, the happier he was. He faced the world with an attitude of looking down on all living things. Uru felt that even the God of the Rhine could not make him pay too much attention to him, which made Uru feel very helpless.
But fortunately, even Uru had to admit that Visas did have his own pride. If he said he would not lie, then he really would not lie. At most, he would deliberately conceal some information to lead him into a trap - but at least the part he said could be considered true.
So, Bai Wei said that he had brought him in front of the murderer today, so he really was brought in front of the murderer, there is no doubt about that.
So, it can basically be determined that it was someone in front of the West Cathedral.
The most conspicuous among these people, and the only person Uru knew, was the Great Priest Heri. But no matter how he thought, the Great Priest Heri 20 years ago should not have anything to do with the small town of Petain, let alone specifically killing his mother. But if it weren't for the Great Priest Heri, there would be too many people in front of the West Cathedral.
Therefore, it was not realistic to infer the murderer based on this alone. After thinking for a while, Ulu asked again: "Will you bring me to him again?"
Bai Wei smiled slightly: "Of course, this is also part of the deal."
Well, in this way, sooner or later...
"But you should also fulfill your part of the obligation." Bai Wei slowly interrupted Wu Lu's expectation, which made Wu Lu feel depressed. "I have shown my sincerity, so you should also show your sincerity."
Ulu took a deep breath. The other part of his deal with Bai Wei was that he needed to help Bai Wei find the whereabouts of the other body part.
"No problem...but I have to make it clear in advance." Ulu said coldly, "If it's too dangerous, then I won't go."
"for example?"
"For example, if you want to go directly to Bishop Corey's office," Uru said in a deep voice, "I will definitely not go there."
"Of course, I can't either." Bai Wei smiled. "But you're quite interesting. On the one hand, you threaten me with handing me over to the West Cathedral, and on the other hand, you try your best to avoid too much contact with the West Cathedral. Don't you think this is contradictory?"
Ulu took a deep look at the upright middle finger of his left hand, and finally said nothing and went to bed.
But this sleep was still uneasy. Ever since he left the small town of Petain, he had always felt a strong sense of uneasiness, especially after he knew that half of his body had fallen into Bai Wei's control. This uneasiness became even stronger. He was so nervous when he just fell asleep that he would suddenly wake up after dozing off for more than ten minutes, and then stare at his left hand.
After making sure that his left hand had no intention of moving on its own and Visas' soul seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, he would fall asleep again, but would wake up again not long after. This process would often be repeated five or six times before Uru would fall asleep completely exhausted.
Then, "Ulu" sat up from the bed.
Although I can only control half of my body, it is enough to complete the action of "sitting".
Bai Wei opened his left eye (he couldn't control his right eye yet) and looked at his left hand with great interest - he had always seen the world from the perspective of his left middle finger before, but now he could see his left hand from a normal perspective, which felt pretty good.
At the same time, he was also carefully feeling his own breathing. The air he inhaled into his lungs, which was not particularly healthy, allowed him to experience "being alive" very well.
Only after losing one's body can one realize how important the things that one did not care about before are. Being able to breathe normally will make him feel it is a rare thing, and being able to see the world normally with his eyes will make him feel it is precious.
However, the latter is expected to be realized soon.
Bai Wei turned his head slightly and looked to his left. There was a wall, but it was in the direction of the Rhine West Cathedral.
He seemed to be able to see through the wall and see the eye that belonged to him in the not-so-distant Western Cathedral, which was unable to suppress its instinct and wanted to return to its owner's body immediately.
It will be soon. It will be soon.
That eye will soon be returned to its original owner.
However, Bai Wei stood up at this moment not just to breathe some fresh air and look in the direction of his eyes, he was not bored.
He controlled this half of his body and took out a copy of "The Rhine Covenant" from Uru's luggage. It was given to him by one of the church priests during the day.
Bai Wei placed the book on the bedside table, making sure that Uru could see it the first thing he saw after waking up. Then he opened the book to the first page, which talked about the origin of the Rhine.
The Rhine Covenant
And there is a picture below.
The genderless God of the Rhine, with white wings and a holy expression, is hanging in the air, as if he wants to embrace the world.
Below him were four believers kneeling in worship. They were four boys, also known as the Origin Believers. Later, they served as bishops of the four major Rhine churches, possessed the power of the God of the Rhine, and spread the glory of the Rhine to the world.
This picture is also called "origin" in the Rhine, the place where everything began. All Rhine believers must immediately worship and bathe in the glory of the Lord when they see this painting.
But Bai Wei didn't care. He stared at the painting and suddenly laughed.
"What origin believer?" Bai Wei said lightly, "It's just Rhine and His original..."
"Just four playthings."

Chapter 49 Forty-nine Leah
Ulu was awakened by another burst of rapid coughing.
He had never been grumpy when waking up, but at this moment he really wanted to explode with the world. He couldn't remember the last time he woke up naturally. Before, he was always woken up by his own cough, but now he was woken up by other people's coughs.
Damn, is this world terminally ill?
Isn't there a healthy person?!
He was so angry that he yelled at the wall: "Can you be quiet?! Can't I sleep?"
Then Ulu was startled by his own roar.
Is his voice that loud?
Before he could think clearly, there was another light sound of footsteps outside the corridor. Wulu could imagine the person walking on tiptoe. Then the footsteps stopped, and he heard the landlady's apologetic words from outside the door: "Sorry, sir, I accidentally disturbed you."
The proprietress's voice was also very soft. It was not known whether it was because she was weak or because she did not want to disturb Ulu anymore, but Ulu still heard it very clearly, as if the proprietress was speaking in his ear.
This made Ulu realize that the proprietress's cough might not be very loud, it's just that his hearing was stronger than before.
...This is probably what Visas said, an extra bonus, just like the spells he knew. After Visas used his body, he could use those spells fluently and with greater power than before.
But Ulu was not happy because the price of this free gift was his life.
Knowing that the landlady had not woken him up on purpose, Ulu was no longer so angry. He responded casually with a few words and wanted to go back to sleep. However, it was already dawn and after what had happened, he was not very sleepy anymore, so he sighed softly and prepared to get up.
Then he found the Rhine Covenant, which was already open on the bedside table.
He had no recollection of having read The Rhine Covenant before going to bed yesterday, and he hadn't even taken it out of his luggage.
Ulu immediately lowered his head and looked at his left hand: "What did you do with my body last night?"
Bai Wei replied calmly: "Don't be nervous, as you can see, I just got up and read a book."
"Read a book?" Ulu naturally didn't believe it. "You need one finger to read a book!?"
"You can see this with your eyes, right?" Bai Wei stood up slowly again, and then gently moved his index and ring fingers, as if shrugging. "It's quite clear. Why, didn't you notice it?"
Ulu stared at his middle finger and said through gritted teeth: "You said you wouldn't control my body..."
"Go and die." Bai Wei interrupted Wu Lu's words, "So I just read a book. Don't worry, I'm just reading a book."
Ulu was really angry, especially Bai Wei's indifferent tone.
What Wulu feared most was that Bai Wei would use his body to do something strange while he was asleep, but he had no other options, after all, Bai Wei had never promised anything in this regard. So he could only hope to complete the deal with Bai Wei before Bai Wei could only control half of his body and could not do anything too dangerous, and then completely cut off the relationship (in the physical sense).
In the meantime, his powers must never be used again.
After making up his mind, Ulu forced himself to ignore the matter, snorted coldly and prepared to get up.
But while getting dressed, he unconsciously glanced at the spread-out "Rhine Covenant".
It only turned to the first page, as if it lost interest after just one glance.
