Chapter 644: Chapter 15: Lifespan Halved
The Contract Land hasn’t officially appeared in the ga, so Bai Wei had never seen a person from the Contract Land. But when its envoy appeared, Bai Wei recognized it imdiately.
The reason was simple: Bai Wei sensed an extrely familiar aura from the envoy, which was the power of the Corpse Blocks. Of course, this didn’t an the envoy had Visas’s Corpse Blocks; it just ant he was in a state influenced by their rules.
And this rule was naturally the “Contract” from the Naless Finger.
In “Desecration,” the Contract Land never officially appeared, but perhaps to drum up interest for a DLC, the developers released so of its setting. Among the key points was that the Contract Land was established with a rule from a certain Corpse Piece of Visas, and this piece was the Naless Finger, and the rule was the “Contract.”
But what exactly this rule entailed was never explained by the developers, which left even Bai Wei, who had beco Visas himself, clueless about the purpose of each of his Corpse Blocks, as if shrouded in mystery.
Nevertheless, since it was called a “Contract,” they could guess the gist of it. All that needed to be done was to confirm it, so Bai Wei approached with Lair’s body, intercepting the envoy before he entered Isaiah’s field of vision.
“Follow ,” Bai Wei said lightly.
The envoy didn’t notice anything, but his gaze suddenly beca unfocused. Then he naturally turned around, silently following Bai Wei out of the Naless Town.
When the envoy snapped awake as if from a great dream, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar alley, facing a young black rchant who was smiling at him strangely.
“Hello, envoy from the Contract Land,” Bai Wei said leisurely.
The envoy was montarily stunned but quickly realized he was under attack and imdiately raised his hand, attempting to strike Bai Wei.
But Bai Wei stood leisurely where he was, not moving at all, as several magic chains suddenly rose and bound the envoy tightly from behind.
“Cough, cough, cough…” The envoy realized that the opponent’s strength was not in his league, so he quickly played dumb. “Who are you?! Why are you attacking ? Damn it, are you trying to double-cross? Fine, if so, all my stuff is…”
The envoy couldn’t finish his sentence because Bai Wei tightened the magic chains, nearly breaking his neck.
“You should know very well that talking nonsense is pointless,” Bai Wei smiled and said, “Tell , what is the Contract Land planning? Where is your gathering? Just nod if you’re willing to tell , and I’ll let you go. If not, I won’t insist. Early death, early reincarnation.”
The envoy stared fiercely at Bai Wei, not understanding how his identity was exposed.
Could it be those black rchants? Impossible, they, too, were bound by the contract.
The magic chains continued to tighten slowly, as Bai Wei watched him silently, seeing in the envoy’s eyes a longing for life, realizing that he wasn’t soone of great integrity.
Yet the envoy never lowered his head, enduring the pain and struggle as if so force was restraining him, preventing any act of “betraying” the Contract Land, not even a slight nod.
Is this the power of the “Contract”?
But it should be more than just this.
Then Bai Wei cleared his throat, and a voice, utterly different than before, like an ancient spell, slowly erged from his mouth.
“Tell .”
Rule “Domination.”
Co on, Bai Wei gazed at the envoy.
Let see if under “Domination,” you can still uphold the “Contract.”
Upon hearing these words, the envoy’s expression imdiately twisted, as if two opposing forces were fiercely clashing within his body, like boiling water.
But soon, Bai Wei felt the water changing.
He realized sothing and imdiately stepped forward, repeating the command in a deep tone.
“Tell !”
…
“Master, the Prison Director is already waiting for you.”
In the Contract Land, a servant bowed respectfully to Diana, so low it seed like he would kiss the ground.
“Yes, I know,” Diana uttered softly while gently caressing her Naless Finger, nodding slightly.
If she rembered correctly, this was the fifth ti the Prison Director summoned her this month.
Before this month, she had only t the Prison Director four tis in total.
For a millennium, the Contract Land was like a stagnant pool, the seal untouched, and nothing could stir. Until this month, changes began to unfold, even the ancient Prison Director beca active.
But this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, at least for Diana.
As Diana adjusted her appearance, preparing to follow the servant to et the Prison Director, her Naless Finger suddenly twitched.
Her pupils slightly contracted, then she calmly stopped, indicating to the servant to wait a mont.
Then she closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, she was staring into the eyes of an unfamiliar man in an alley.
The man spoke slowly, with a power she wasn’t unfamiliar with woven into his words.
“Tell !”
Diana’s eyes widened as she realized her body was slowly losing control, and under the supre command, her throat, bound painfully by chains, was struggling to move, like a worm attempting to break out of its cocoon regardless of everything.
