Chapter 13 The dead are more useful than the living
Uru stood at the door and watched Kelse commanding the knights to surround the entire church while walking towards him with a sullen face, his momentum seemed to be ready to kill.
Bai Wei reminded Wu Lu quietly in his mind: "Remember what I told you just now. No matter what he asks, you should say you don't know."
Ulu nodded imperceptibly, at the same time concealing the murderous intent towards Kelce in his eyes.
Kelce walked up to Uru and asked coldly without the previous tone of greeting an old friend: "Where is Luji?"
"Lu Ji?" Ulu was a little surprised. "Didn't I tell you that he..."
"When did he leave?" Kelsey interrupted Uru directly, "I want to know the exact time!"
"Morning, morning." Ulu seemed a little nervous. "I left early in the morning."
"What did he do?"
"I think it should be..."
"Don't say you know!" Kelsey growled, "If you know, just say you know. If you don't know, just say you don't know!"
Ulu immediately shook his head: "Then I don't know."
Although he guessed that Uru would answer that he didn't know, Kelse was still very dissatisfied. At this time, two knights trotted out of Luji's room and reported to Kelse: "Captain Knight, Father Luji is indeed not in the room. Do you want to search his room?"
"Bullshit search!" Kelsey, who was in a very bad mood, couldn't help but curse, "He left so early in the morning, do you think he would leave his things in the room? Everyone, go out and search for him in the town... Wake up everyone, no matter who they are, to find his trace. Even if he ran away, we have to find out where he went!"
"Yes!" The knights obeyed the order and took action immediately.
At this time, Kelsey looked at Ulu again, without any intention of explaining. He just said coldly: "You stay here and notify me immediately if you find Lu Ji coming back. If I can't notify you, I will find a way to keep him. If you let him go, you know the consequences."
After saying that, Kelsey left with the knights.
Ulu still didn't quite understand: "What are they doing..."
"Still can't you guess it?" Bai Wei said calmly, "They are looking for me. Obviously, they know that you bought my finger from a black market merchant."
Wulu was stunned for a moment, and then he broke out in a cold sweat: "Got it? Then why didn't you find me, but Lu Ji?"
"Haha, who knows? Either they got the wrong information, or the information they got was incomplete. For example, they only know that the person who bought the finger was a priest, but they don't know which priest it was." Bai Wei said, "And that guy named Lu Ji has disappeared since today, so these knights will naturally think that he bought the finger and got the news in advance and then ran away. Haha, of course it is also possible that your friend simply didn't believe that you dared to get your hands on such a dangerous thing, and didn't even ask you... Tsk, maybe sometimes, being weak is also a protective color."
Wu Lu felt both relieved and angry at Bai Wei's words.
The fortunate thing is that he avoided the biggest crisis by accident, but the annoying thing is exactly what Bai Wei said, that Kelse didn't even believe that Visas' finger could be in his hand.
Silence is the greatest contempt.
Uru's hatred towards Kelce deepened, but he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "So I killed Lu Ji and saved my own life? If Lu Ji hadn't died, I would be the one dead now?"
... Actually, no, in the game plot, the information Kelsey received was not complete. The first person this violent knight commander found was Lugi, and of course no one could have thought that Visas' finger would be in the hands of Uru, a seemingly insignificant guy. It was a small plot twist (in the plot, Lugi really did go out to play with a little boy in the middle of the night and did not return home, and was wanted by Kelsey all over the city).
So whether Luji is killed or not, it will not make any difference tonight. Ulu will definitely die, but not tonight.
However, there was no need for Bai Wei to explain this point clearly to Ulu, and he could even add fuel to the fire a little.
"Yeah, if you hadn't taken action yesterday, you would have been the one dead. As for me... I would have fallen into that guy's hands, right?" Bai Wei chuckled and said, "I wonder if that guy named Kelsey would be more decisive than you if he got hold of me."
Ulu's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, but he did not refute. Instead, he whispered, "I will listen to you now. I hope you can tell me what to do."
"How to do it? Didn't you know it very well when you were in the room just now?"
There was a gleam in Ulu's eyes: "You mean..."
"Kill the person who wants to kill you first, then you won't have to worry." Bai Wei said calmly, "But not now. Even if you use my power, you may not be able to kill that guy now. So your first priority now is to survive, at least survive tonight. That guy is angry now, and he wants to catch Lu Ji immediately, so he won't care about you. If they fail to find Lu Ji tonight, they will definitely come back to search Lu Ji's room. In that case, Lu Ji's body will not be hidden, so if you do nothing, you are just waiting to die."
"Then I...should just run?"
"Run? Where can you run to?" Bai Wei asked, "Do you think you can escape the search of the entire Knights by yourself? Even if you escape today, can you escape the pursuit of the entire Rhine Church in the future?"
Now, Uru really didn't understand: "If I stay here, I'll die. If I run away, I'll die too. And there's no way to kill Kelsey. So what should I do?"
No matter how you look at it, this is a dead end.
"Think broadly and think about why you are safe now."
Uru scratched his head: "It's because Kelsey thinks the finger... I mean, thinks you are with Luji."
"In that case..." Bai Wei took the initiative to pull Wu Lu's entire left hand, and then pointed to Lu Ji's room, "Why not let this point continue to be solid? Sometimes, the dead are more useful than the living."
Ulu gradually understood everything: "You mean..."
"Dig out his body." Bai Wei smiled slightly, "Then make good use of it... Of course don't use my body to dig it out, I don't want to touch a corpse."
This chapter is a bit messy, I'll post it first and revise it tomorrow.
