Chapter 680: Chapter 31: Sches of Their Own (Part 2)
The three imdiately extracted the keywords from Bai Wei’s words.
Rocky’s was “old asshole,” while Isaiah and Diana’s were “refusal to summon.”
“Can Taoyuan Village’s summoning be refused?” Diana imdiately asked.
“Oh, don’t you know yet?” Bai Wei said casually, “Of course you can. As long as you have two Corpse Blocks at the sa ti, you have the ability to open Taoyuan Village, and also the ability to refuse Taoyuan Village. Otherwise, why do you think I’ve never summoned that old asshole? I wish I could hack him to pieces, even though no violence is allowed in Taoyuan Village, I would never let him rest peacefully… But unfortunately, he has two Corpse Blocks, and he refuses my summoning every ti, so I pull in so numbers to fill it in.”
“Damn, who are you calling just making up numbers!”
Rocky nearly slamd the table again, but everyone ignored him as Isaiah and Diana fell into contemplation.
Refusing Taoyuan Village is also a very important authority.
Currently, whether it’s the Tongue or the Hand Eye summoning them, they can’t refuse. No matter when or where, no matter what they’re doing, they are pulled into it with every summons.
This is a serious matter, but previously no one had a way to refuse, so everyone tacitly didn’t bring it up.
But now it’s different. If knowing that two Corpse Blocks grants the authority to refuse Taoyuan Village’s summoning, then everyone would want to grab a second block.
No, not just want to grab a second block, but must grab a second block.
In Taoyuan Village, if they don’t even have the right to refuse summoning, then they’ll always be one step below the Tongue and Hand Eye, without even the ability to protect themselves.
Realizing this, all three understood the necessity for a second Corpse Block, even Rocky was no exception, his eyes belatedly rolling “gurgle gurgle.”
This was exactly the effect Bai Wei wanted to achieve.
Damn it, stop hiding and start acting!
“Of course, you can continue to watch.” Bai Wei decided to add the final spark, speaking slowly, “After all, I’ve already got a way to deal with Hand Eye, though it’s not 100% successful, but if I’m really driven to the edge, then I’ll have no choice but to take the risk. If I fail, there’s nothing more to say, all three of my Corpse Blocks would fall into Hand Eye’s hands, with his ambition, none of you three could escape.”
Bai Wei paused, then coldly spoke.
“And if I manage to kill Hand Eye and take his Corpse Blocks… Then rest assured, I’ll choose to do the sa, and regret at that ti will be of no use. So, either help , or help Hand Eye, or wait for death, decide carefully for yourselves.”
…
Isaiah opened his eyes, returning to reality.
His brows furrowed slightly, clearly still recalling the recent gathering.
Honestly, he wasn’t sure whether the current situation was becoming clearer or more chaotic.
Assessing the current state.
The Tongue found the Taboo Scholar, and possibly found a thod from them to deal with Hand Eye, though this thod involves risk, so the Tongue still hopes for help, at least being able to obtain one of Hand Eye’s Corpse Blocks afterward, with the other two being left unsaid.
And Hand Eye’s goal remains unchanged, hoping everyone will join in killing the Tongue, ultimately killing each other, with whoever survives till the end getting all the Corpse Blocks.
If choosing to watch from the sidelines, it would be as Tongue said, once those two settle the score, then they’ll only have one Corpse Block among the three of them, unable even to refuse Taoyuan Village’s summoning, much less resist those two.
To put it simply, the Tongue and Hand Eye are two evenly matched giants determined to fight till the end, while the three of them are just small fry. But since the giants aim to take each other out first, they seek help from the small fry. Only during this special period do giants need the help of small fry, and once only one giant is left, then the small fry can only beco its food.
Unexpectedly, he’d beco a small fry one day.
Isaiah walked to the window, gazing out in two different directions.
One toward Delar Town where the Tongue is located, and the other toward Hand Eye’s position.
That’s his advantage over the others, he knows where Hand Eye is, so he can make decisions earlier.
So, to go directly and kill Hand Eye?
Once he collects both eyes, he would instantly turn passive into active, and that Tongue wouldn’t be able to threaten him.
But that would imdiately make him the target of everyone’s focus, which doesn’t fit his expectations. Besides, Hand Eye isn’t easy to deal with, not to ntion his Rule is still in Hand Eye’s hands, who happened to gather both eyes before him.
But Hand Eye can only use it once, so Isaiah is plotting to wait until the loan period passes, or Hand Eye uses the Right Eye Rule on soone else before taking action, ensuring it’s foolproof then.
But just then Tongue is pressing everyone to act, truly making Isaiah a bit troubled.
It’s as if they coordinated to cover for each other, even Isaiah couldn’t temporarily think of the optimal solution.
Additionally, there’s another issue.
He turned his head, looking towards the No-man’s Land eternally shrouded in yellow sand.
If he continues delaying, the preparations for the Contract Land’s gathering are almost complete, and Isaiah faintly knew what they were preparing there.
If he truly becos the troublemaker, then becos the target of that thing, that would be counterproductive.
So what should be done?
Isaiah once again fell into deep thought.
…
So, should the original plan be followed?
Bai Wei also pondered this question.
Hewinia’s sudden appearance was indeed unexpected, though it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing as of now, it could even be considered a good thing, since Hewinia placed herself at the center of the vortex, allowing Bai Wei to manipulate from the outside better.
Then should he go find Hewinia?
This thought just erged in Bai Wei’s mind and was imdiately dismissed.
Going to Hewinia now is too risky; his mangled body could only endure one more high-intensity battle at most, and obviously, it wouldn’t be just one at Hewinia’s place.
So rather than risking going to Hewinia, he might as well coordinate from the outside.
Anyway, with Hewinia’s current strength, as long as she doesn’t act recklessly, she probably wouldn’t die.
Thinking of this, Bai Wei hesitated for a mont.
… She shouldn’t act recklessly, right?
Mm, it’s better to trust her for now. Since Hewinia has already drawn attention to herself, Bai Wei can focus on the original plan, dealing with Isaiah first.
It’s ti to contact his cheap underling.
It’s been so days; calculating the ti, it should be about right.
Sigh, ti to manipulate again.
Bai Wei stretched his body that hadn’t moved for a long ti, emitting a series of “creak creak” sounds, then collapsed again.
When he reopened his eyes, he was inside Lair’s body.
Lair was still in the small village in No-man’s Land where Bai Wei told him to await news days ago, staring blankly into the distance.
As Bai Wei entered, before he could speak, he heard another person’s voice near Lair.
“Um… Angel, could you tell us about Heaven again?”
Lair turned his head, seeing several malnourished children standing behind him, looking at him with anticipation.
He grinned: “Of course.”
So Bai Wei temporarily set aside his words, quietly watching.
