After Bai Wei returned from Lair's consciousness, he began to ponder.
Currently, he was still in a small village a certain distance from the Naless Town. The reason he didn't go directly to the Naless Town was to prevent any unexpected incidents and avoid being eliminated in one sweep.
Now Bai Wei was in an awkward situation; although he possessed five Corpse Blocks and had erged from the negative state of [Visas Phantom], his body was in poor condition. The remains stolen from Holy Sound, after the journey through Wildfire, were only barely functional enough to walk, incapable of enduring a few tough battles, unable to pay the price of "Rule" multiple tis, and unable to enter his strongest Second Rank Descent state.
The only thing he could rely on was the [Visas Phantom], but given his nurous enemies, he couldn't accept the phantom's status of being "silent" for over half a month.
As for Lair, although he constantly shouted, "I'm Master Visas's most loyal dog," he was not truly willing to risk his life for Bai Wei and directly enable Bai Wei to undergo the Second Rank Descent — at least not now. So Bai Wei had to carefully consider what to do next.
Thinking of this, Bai Wei picked up paper and pen, deciding to organize the known information.
Firstly, there's the identity issue. The known holder of the "Thumb" is Rhein Bishop Rocky, Rhein is the initiator of the gathering, so he should already be in the No-man's Land and very likely at the gathering place in Contract Land. Rocky knows the least information, mainly leaked by Bai Wei in Taoyuan Village, so he should just be waiting for the gathering to start without any major actions.
Next is the "Ring Finger" lady, whose Rule is the most unique, unable to leave the prison of Contract Land. She can use the Contract rule to understand the external situation, and she already knows who the "Tongue" is. Hence, she will definitely send a new servant to find and monitor Lair, who is the "Tongue".
Finally, there's the "Right Eye" Isaiah, the strongest of the three, waiting in Naless Town for the next instructions from Contract Land. He has probably guessed that there's a Corpse Block Holder near him, but not who it is precisely. However, his desire for Corpse Blocks is not as strong as the other two... No, to be precise, he only craves one Corpse Block intensely, the left eye. This guy's ultimate goal is to acquire both of Visas's eyes, willing to give up any other Corpse Blocks for that.
It's apparent he is more concerned with the "Hand Eye" than the "Tongue".
And he does have the capability; in the ga, Isaiah is a very late-stage boss. Star Magic combined with the eternal right eye gives him unimaginable strength, far beyond Corey, who developed only the basic [Gaze] with the left eye for a long ti. Bai Wei doesn't have the confidence to beat him one-on-one, given his current body condition, especially since [Visas Phantom] has a duration.
That's why Bai Wei kept himself far away; he doesn't want Isaiah to have any chance of getting the left eye, not even the faintest possibility.
Thus, this guy should be dealt with early, can't drag it too late.
Moreover, Bai Wei needs to understand from him what's the situation with the Great Snake guarding the Abyss.
So how should he deal with him?
Bai Wei's fingers tapped gently on Isaiah's na, then his lips curled slightly with an idea.
So he leaned back, imrsing himself in Taoyuan Village.
Afterwards, without any delay, he began to summon three people.
When three translucent phantoms appeared before Bai Wei, he smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Corpse friends. I have exciting news for you: the 'Tongue' is at the Black rchant headquarters — Naless Town."
...
"Why hasn't anyone co looking for you?" Hewinia glanced sideways at Edwin, "Is your manhunt over?"
"Of course not… my manhunt will never be over." Edwin said sowhat helplessly, "but the last group that ca after was entirely killed by you, the others don't know where I am at all."
Hewinia's brow furrowed slightly.
Indeed, seems a little careless, should have left one to report back last ti.
Currently, Hewinia and Edwin were still in the previous Delar Town, and after achieving "cooperation" with Edwin, Hewinia had been here waiting, waiting for those who wanted a piece of Edwin to co, but after waiting half a day, no news ca, and this made her slightly impatient.
After all, if the bait can't attract fish, does it have any aning?
"Why do you always want us to be found?" Edwin said, "Being in the dark is always better than being in the light, let's find a Corpse Block, if we find one, I can set up the ritual, bringing reality closer to truth."
This was Edwin's plan, using Hewinia's imnse combat power to find and hunt Corpse Block holders to initiate the ritual.
And Hewinia thought of using Edwin as bait to kill all the fish trying to take the bait, aiding Bai Wei in the process.
Thus, it was a mutual usage arrangent, the difference being Hewinia understood Edwin's plan, while Edwin might not entirely grasp Hewinia's thought.
