Chapter 622: The Temptation of 4-3 Portions of Corpse Blocks_2
What a volatile and straightforward guy, but that’s good too. The more volatile a person is, the less brain they have, making them easy to handle!
Rocky pondered in his heart.
“This gentleman is really direct,” said Ring Finger with a smile, “It seems you intended to exchange information for information from the start.”
“Of course.” The Seven-Tone Player opened his mouth with a half-smile, pointing to the shiny tooth, “If I’m not mistaken, the owner of this tooth is the one who got my information from you, right? Hmm… To be precise, Hand Eye passed the information to that guy through this place?”
The Seven-Tone Player directly pointed out the “Front Tooth”. Both Ring Finger and Rocky were not too surprised, after all, it wasn’t hard to guess.
“That was his reward for beating Hand Eye.” Ring Finger said, “But now, it seems he has beco your reward.”
Then Ring Finger recounted the events of the last gathering. After hearing that, the Seven-Tone Player’s tone turned unpleasant: “It was indeed that guy… that despicable traitor.”
Despicable traitor?
The three of them sensed sothing from this description.
“Well, I know you’re curious about my relationship with Hand Eye. I can tell you. But before that, let have a code na as well. You can call Tongue.” Bai Wei slowly spoke with a new title, “The reason I call Hand Eye a traitor is that we used to be partners. We agreed to split the Corpse Blocks, but he wanted it all… so he ambushed , a shaful ambush. But unfortunately, he didn’t succeed… haha, after all, coming from Rhein, a guy who is useless except for backdoor dealings.”
Feeling hit by AOE, Rocky subconsciously sat up straight, showing an angry expression… Luckily, everyone’s faces were invisible in this spectral state.
“With the sa two Corpse Blocks, yet you could defeat him?” Ring Finger asked.
“Of course.” Bai Wei said calmly, “Fingers and eyes aren’t combat-based Rules, but they are top-notch at escaping.”
Everyone present had read the “Taboo Book”.
The book’s rule descriptions about the left middle finger and eyes, naly “Termination” and “Gaze,” indeed were not considered combat-based Rules.
Only Rocky slightly frowned, thinking about Corey’s body, missing a third, and to this day they still didn’t know where such trauma ca from.
And Bai Wei continued: “However, although I repelled him, I couldn’t shake him off, after all, that eye…”
He looked at Right Eye: “You also have eyes, you should know what I’m talking about.”
Right Eye nodded slightly, with a still gentle voice: “Yes, Visas’ eye always lets us see far.”
“That’s right, he’s been watching with that eye,” Bai Wei’s tone was filled with uncontrollable anger, “like a wild dog following a scent. If I bleed a little, he would pounce imdiately, and that ‘Front Tooth’ was his tool to make bleed, but unfortunately, he failed.”
Bai Wei’s words once again made the three of them sink into contemplation.
Ulu was indeed pursuing this Tongue using his eye, which enabled him to always keep track of Tongue’s position. Reporting the position to Front Tooth earlier was with the mind of catching the mantis and the cicada while being the stalking yellow bird, logically explainable, instantly clarifying many things.
But the three also knew that logical does not equate with truth.
Now, they could only be sure that Hand Eye and Tongue were not the sa person, but they couldn’t determine whether the two were collaborating. What if the betrayal was false and collaboration to trick them was true?
However…
Ring Finger noticed that this Tongue always unconsciously bounced his leg when speaking, appearing very impatient.
This indeed matched the situation of being pursued by Hand Eye and might already be in a terrible fix, at least Ring Finger did not believe Tongue could settle Front Tooth unscathed. After all, Front Tooth’s Rule was equally formidable. If wounded and pursued by Hand Eye, the state surely wouldn’t be great.
Ring Finger decided to test the waters, but instead of speaking imdiately, she glanced at Right Eye beside her, hoping this elder might have sothing to say. However, Right Eye appeared indifferent as if none of this concerned him, forcing Ring Finger to proceed herself, she smiled lightly and asked, “So, Mr. Tongue, are you telling us this because you wish us to do sothing?”
Bai Wei looked at Ring Finger and said quietly, “I don’t have the ti to probe back and forth with you, so I’ll be direct. I have three portions of Corpse Blocks on , which is definitely a big fat sheep in your eyes. If action could be taken here, you would have already slaughtered . But I have to say, even if any of you do succeed, that old jerk from Rhein will never let you go. He wants to cram all Corpse Blocks into his body, whether it’s or you, we’re all his targets.”
Rocky was dissed again, almost couldn’t help but slam the table.
“So, you’re trying to persuade us not to make a move against you?” Ring Finger asked with a smile, “I think you might be overthinking, having killed Front Tooth and acquired three Corpse Blocks, why would those of us with only a single piece dare to trouble you?”
“That’s why I said I hate testing.” Bai Wei looked at Ring Finger, coldly saying, “We all know no one can refuse Visas’ power. I can’t, Ulu can’t, and you… can’t either. Miss Ring Finger, if you insist on pretending, then we have nothing to talk about.”
Before Ring Finger could respond, the long-silent Right Eye suddenly spoke: “Then tell us your plan, Mr. Tongue. You, with three Corpse Blocks, wouldn’t want us to help you deal with the two Corpse Blocks Hand Eye, would you?”
Seeing even Right Eye, who attended for the first ti, spoke up, Rocky felt he could no longer just watch, so he followed: “Yes, from your description, Hand Eye is the only one capable of threatening you right now, you want us to eliminate him? Then turn around to eliminate us? Do you take us for…”
“I’ll offer one Corpse Block.” Bai Wei said succinctly.
Rocky was stunned: “What?”
“I said, I’ll offer one Corpse Block.” Bai Wei glanced around at the three present, articulating each word, “I know that with three Corpse Blocks, I absolutely can’t survive, so I’m willing to use one Corpse Block as paynt, and you can choose which one. Whether you want to offer an ear, a tongue, or a tooth, it’s up to you.”
The three fell silent.
This was indeed a hefty paynt, forcing them to settle down and digest it.
Finally, Ring Finger spoke first: “You offer one Corpse Block, but there are three people here, you want…”
“Kill Hand Eye, and you’ll have three Corpse Blocks.”
Bai Wei interrupted Ring Finger again, then slowly rose under the gaze of the three, revealing his ultimate goal.
“This way, everyone here ends up with two Corpse Blocks… How do you find that?”
…
Rocky opened his eyes and returned to his small compartnt.
The three young Priests had already left, clearly keeping his teachings in mind, not disturbing him while he was “unconscious,” allowing him to calmly ponder the suggestion Tongue had proposed.
Kill Ulu, split the Corpse Blocks evenly, making each a multiple Corpse Block holder.
This proposal seed a bit… too bold, but was it really feasible?
Rocky didn’t know either but knew he had to ponder it carefully.
However, the impact of this proposal was too significant, making him increasingly restless as he thought more about it.
Hmm… I need to calm down and vent a little.
Thinking this, Rocky stood up, opened the compartnt door, and shouted outside: “Hey, get over here for so rea…”
His words stuck halfway through.
Because outside the compartnt were not his three young Priests, but three phantoms and that towering ancient tree.
He had returned to Taoyuan Village.
“Oh? Mr. Thumb, what were you about to rea…?”
A familiar voice echoed, and Rocky looked towards it to see that wretched, cunning eye smiling back at him.
“Hand Eye!!!” he shouted out loudly.
“Yes, yes, I’m here.” Hand Eye, like the master of this place, waved for Rocky to sit down, then stood up under the gaze of Right Eye and Ring Finger, speaking slowly, “Fellow Corpse mates, I’ve got my eye on a wounded big fat sheep. Slaughtering him would yield three Corpse Blocks, who among you are interested?”
