Who hid My Corpse!

Chapter 83: Sixty-seven Okay, let’s go see that child

Corey collapsed into the pool of blood, his remaining eye filled with terror, for his body had been divided into three sections.

The only part of his body he could still control was half a shoulder and an arm that was reduced to half, like a toy maliciously destroyed. Then, the excruciating pain of being torn apart surged up, viciously gnawing at his nerves, forcing an uncontrollable, agonized scream from him.

Footsteps sounded.

The heavy boots, stepping on the pool of blood, made a distinct sound, as if death itself were drawing closer.

At this moment, Corey finally came to the belated realization that he was truly going to die.

But he was unwilling to accept this fact, so he struggled frantically, trying to move away from the person who was gradually approaching. However, with only so much of his body left, his struggles amounted to nothing more than rolling in the blood and corpse blocks, looking like a disgustingly… worm.

Bai Wei stopped in his tracks, looking at the man before him who, just a minute ago, had been full of vigor as a bishop, but now had become more like a monster.

Logically, such grievous wounds would mean certain death for anyone, but at this moment, Corey was still under the “Divine Blessing,” with Rhein’s power still trying to sustain his life force, attempting to repair his body.

However, it was clear that aside from prolonging his life and pain for a few more minutes, there wasn’t much else it could do.

“What a sorry sight,” Bai Wei remarked softly.

The voice was very light, but still enough for Corey to hear.

He abruptly lifted his head, his face twisted in pain, yet anger was still visible.

“Visas!” he roared with all his might, “What in the world… have you done to me?”

“I haven’t done anything,” Bai Wei said indifferently, “I simply started a game, and you lost the game, that’s all.”

Corey’s body trembled violently, whether out of anger or pain, he couldn’t tell, but Bai Wei’s words made him realize a fact.

That he was indeed going to die.

The fear of death washed over him, along with a sense of responsibility as the Archbishop of Rhein.

Suddenly, he thought that he was the only one who knew that Visas’s soul was still alive in this world, but he was about to die, which meant that no one would know this news until Visas did something… even more appalling.

No, he had to get the message out.

But his thoughts had already been seen through by Bai Wei, who didn’t move at all, only saying indifferently, “Give up, what you are now is no different from a broken corpse block, just that you’re still alive for the moment.”

Corey lifted his head again, his only remaining eye staring intently at Bai Wei.

But he also knew that Bai Wei was right, he could do nothing now.

Visas’s soul was still alive, he had reclaimed two corpse blocks, obtained two rules, one of which had been taken from him, the Archbishop of Rhein himself.

At this moment, endless regret welled up in Corey’s heart, accompanied by the intensifying pain and the ever-approaching death that drove him completely insane.

“I won’t accept this, Visas!” he bellowed with all his might, “This game isn’t fair! You helped him, it was you who helped him!”

Watching Corey, who seemed to have lost his senses, Bai Wei slowly revealed a smile, as though he had been waiting for Corey to say this.

He then slowly bent down, grabbed Corey’s hair, and lifted his upper half to meet his gaze.

Corey had only one eye left, and so did he. After using “Rule” in his mortal body, his right eye was sealed forever as the price.

Bai Wei gazed at Corey, chuckling and said, “It seems that you don’t believe you lost to him.”

“Of course… I haven’t lost!”

“Is that so?” Bai Wei nodded slightly, “Then do you still remember your last Divine Art? I recall it was a defensive one, right? You defended against my two chains with one Divine Art, correct? But I want to tell you, at that time my eye was not ready yet, if you had attacked me then…”

Corey’s eyes gradually widened, and his expression swiftly changed.

And all this naturally fell into Bai Wei’s sight, his smile growing even more radiant.

“So close, just one step away, really just one step, if you dared to attack me the way that guy attacked you, then you’d have won it all.”

Bai Wei paused for a moment, then spoke languidly.

“It would be you.”

Corey’s mouth and eyes opened wide simultaneously as if he wanted to say something, but the Divine Gifted Body finally faded away, and his last bit of life was quickly taken; thus, his expression was fixed in place.

Surprise, anger, resentment, regret.

A mix of emotions.

In the instant he died, the smile vanished from Bai Wei’s face, but he didn’t put down the partial remains of Corey’s body. He just silently gazed at Corey’s expression, as if to etch this scene forever into that body.

Then, he discarded the half body as if tossing out trash.

“The deal is done,” Bai Wei said softly. “Did you see it?”

Silence, a long silence, as if his question would never get an answer.

But Bai Wei still waited.

After what felt like an eternity, the voice that had long been absent slowly rang out.

“Ah… I saw it.”

Then the voice disappeared as if responding to Bai Wei’s last question had exhausted all his vitality.

Bai Wei closed his eyes, there in the place where the soul resided, remained only a few dying embers that could extinguish at any moment.

He opened his eyes: “Is there anything else you wish to do?”

Another silence.

“There aren’t any… things I wish to do.”

Bai Wei said, “Think again.”

“Think again… think again…” The voice grew fainter and fainter, so soft Bai Wei almost thought the fire had gone out when suddenly, it became agitated, like the last few sparks erupting from charred logs of a campfire in a gentle breeze, “That child… that child… I want to see… that child.”

That child…

Bai Wei knew whom Ulu was speaking of.

He lowered his head, looking at the now battered and broken body.

Ulu’s soul was nearly spent, to control this broken body would require Bai Wei to use his own soul, undeniably leading to considerable damage to it.

Moreover, visiting that child at this time was far too risky and not in line with Bai Wei’s subsequent plans.

And with Ulu’s current state, it would be difficult to last until that moment.

So…

“I want to see… that child…”

Bai Wei fell silent for a while.

“Alright, let’s go see that child.”
