Chapter 252: The Corpse of Visas (6K)
The one who had his tongue and ears taken away.
This information was so weighty that the three people's first reaction after being shocked was... this guy is lying!
But under the rules of Taoyuan Township, lies cannot escape detection.
So... is this true?!
They were even more shocked, but each was shocked for a different reason. What Wuhuanzhi and Menya cared about was that besides Bai Wei, someone else actually got two pieces of body parts, and this guy also knew their identity and whereabouts.
What Rocky cared about was that Bai Wei's words were equivalent to confirming that the person who disrupted Tianqin and Shengyin was the same person.
But it wasn’t Ulu.
Who could it be then?
Is it the Knight of Vesperia whose body has not been found yet? Or is it the mysterious Seven-Tune Player? !
But no matter who he is, shouldn't he be a partner with Uru? Why did Uru sell him out like that?
Then who is that guy who is now roaming in the Wildfire Territory? !
A lot of questions came to Rocky's mind, along with a little anger.
Damn, how did this old asshole know so much? He was kept in the dark like an idiot, and he had no idea...
Um?
Rocky looked at the potted plant in front of him and suddenly caught something.
This guy...can't lie, right!
Rocky suddenly came up with an idea and yelled at Bai Wei: "Tell me who that person is! You can't lie!"
Bai Wei glanced at Rocky and said lightly.
"Are you an idiot? I just can't lie. It's not like I have to talk."
Rocky: “…”
Okay, that seems to be the case.
Damn it, it was all because the information this guy gave was so shocking that his brain short-circuited for a moment.
Rocky's reaction made the ring finger and front teeth look at him again, and they started to ponder at the same time.
...Is this guy really mentally retarded or just pretending?
"Alright." Bai Wei clapped his hands, signaling everyone to focus their attention on him again, and then said with a smile, "Three corpses, what do you think? Can my information be worth two one-time rules?"
No one spoke, but just silently put their hands on the cards.
After all, the answer is obvious.
Everyone knows that the second most valuable thing in the world is the information about Visas' body parts. Even the top leaders of the major churches and even the Pope are flocking to it.
So in terms of value, this information even exceeds those two rules.
After all, borrowed rules can only be used once.
And the possibilities contained in that piece of information are much more important.
As for your question about what is the most precious thing in the world.
Of course, it was the body parts themselves.
Seeing that the ring finger and front teeth had already placed their fingers on the bottom card to show their attitude, Rocky naturally couldn't say anything against it and could only follow suit with a sullen face.
"Since everyone has no objection." Bai Wei also smiled and picked up his own cards, "Then we can start looking at the cards."
Four hole cards were picked up.
Rocky looked at the "seven" in his hand and frowned tightly.
The number “seven” in this game…is it considered big or small?
It should be considered big, right?
After all, there are only four numbers larger than seven, and six numbers smaller than seven.
But the problem is, if the cards are too small, people will just add them up. Wouldn't it be easy for the sum of two numbers to be greater than seven?
...Then he will join too?
But what if he adds more than the amount and gets eliminated on the spot?
...Damn it, so is seven considered big or small?
A simple number was enough to make Rocky's head explode.
There is no other way, I can only look at the faces of others first...
He raised his head and looked at the three phantoms in front of him, his mouth twitching slightly.
Look at a ghost!
Who has the face here?
Rocky was already getting anxious.
"Okay, now that you've finished reading, I guess." Bai Wei leisurely put the cards back on the table. "So, who of you wants to start first?"
The three of them looked at each other.
From the perspective of the rules, there is no advantage in taking the first move, because even if all three of them beat Bai Wei, Bai Wei's chips will be chosen by the one with the highest points among the three of them.
From this perspective, the earlier you start, the greater the disadvantage you will be.
So, none of the three spoke.
"In that case, let's leave everything to Taoyuan Township to decide."
Bai Wei was about to clap his hands when his ring finger suddenly spoke.
"Let me go first."
Everyone looked at her.
"Are you sure?" Bai Wei asked.
The ring finger said "hmm" lightly: "I still like to control my destiny in my own hands."
"Very courageous!" Bai Wei praised with a smile, "Then let's start with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the card on his ring finger lit up slightly.
"So, do you want to add a card?" Bai Wei asked.
The ring finger didn't hesitate: "Add."
A visible "three" was dealt from the deck and landed in front of the ring finger.
The ring finger spoke again: "Continue."
Then another flower card was dealt.
The card is half past three.
The ring finger was silent for a while: "Add more."
A “two”.
The sign is half past five.
Rocky, who was watching from the side, felt his heart in his throat.
He never thought that as a dignified Bishop of Rhine, one day he would be frightened by watching others play cards.
It's already half past five. As long as this guy's trump card isn't a flush or a one, it's bigger than mine!
Rocky felt a cold sweat coming out.
This time, the ring finger remained silent for a little longer.
After a long while, she spoke again.
"add."
Then, an "eight" was dealt.
The card is half past thirteen.
There was a crisp "bang" sound.
The cards in front of the ring finger shattered into pieces like shattered glass.
Rocky and Menya were both stunned.
“…I lost.”
The ring finger opened slowly, but there was not much emotion in the voice.
"What a pity." Bai Wei shrugged, then looked at Fang Ya, "Now it's your turn."
Rocky also subconsciously looked at his front teeth, and then suddenly realized something.
If that's the case, then he has the biggest advantage in the end!
If his front teeth were blown off, then he would only need to defeat Bai Wei!
Although this sentence seems to be nonsense, because if you can't beat Bai Wei, then there is no objection to everything.
But if you want to get the most important information, you really need to defeat Bai Wei first and then defeat others.
It's helpful anyway.
Rocky looked at Men Ya in ecstasy, and Men Ya had obviously thought of this as well, but his trump card had already lit up, which showed that Taoyuan Township also recognized him as the next one.
Now it was impossible to change the order, so Menya could only bite the bullet and say, "Add."
As soon as he finished speaking, a "nine" fell in front of his front teeth.
At that moment, Rocky was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Hahahaha, nine!
This unlucky guy!
It exploded, right?
Explode it!
In this way, he only needs to compete with Bai Wei.
For a moment, Rocky felt that his luck was about to change. The two potential competitors were killed, and it would be no problem for him to take down Bai Wei in one go.
But... he waited for a long time, but never heard the crisp sound of glass breaking.
He turned his head with some confusion, and saw Front Tooth holding the back of his head, sitting in a very enjoyable posture.
Even though you can't see his face clearly, everyone can feel his pride.
Could it be...
A strong sense of uneasiness surged into Rocky's heart.
Then, Menya's smiling voice completely confirmed his guess.
“No.”
The cards in front of him did not break.
At this moment, Rocky looked as pale as death.
The open card is nine.
Not dead.
What kind of fucking luck is this?!
Rocky was already starting to get so angry that his teeth were aching.
This emotion was especially intensified when everyone's eyes were focused on him and his trump card was revealed.
...So what now?!
What to do now?!
That guy with the front teeth is either nine or ten o'clock!
Let’s not talk about that bastard Ulu. If he does nothing, the most he can get is the right to use one of Bai Wei’s rules.
If that message hadn't been there, Rocky would have been satisfied whether he had taken away [Observation] or [Termination].
But the message is right here, and you can only use [Watch] or [Terminate] once, which doesn’t make sense no matter how you look at it!
So, what should he do?
"Mr. Thumb." Bai Wei's voice came slowly, "Do you want more?"
"...please don't be so impatient!"
Although he had told himself countless times in his heart to stay calm, not be impulsive, and not reveal his true nature, Rocky really couldn't care less at the moment.
He didn't expect that he, who was the last one to open his cards, would fall into such a dilemma.
What is this?!
Does he want it or not? !
Rocky's brain raced, and he finally came to a conclusion.
Yes, you must have it, you can’t not have it!
After all, his "seven" not only clearly lost to Men Ya, but he was not even sure whether he could beat Bai Wei, after all, Bai Wei was the one who opened the cards in the end.
So... you must fight, you must fight!
And if you think about it carefully, the probability of him exploding directly is not that high.
Because he had seen the fifty-four cards before, he knew that there were actually quite a few flower cards! Although he didn't know the exact number, his chances of winning or losing were definitely not 30-70, but at least 50-50.
So he just needs one to see the situation.
No problem!
Will win!
Rocky suddenly raised his head and stared at Bai Wei, and at the same time, he let out a very majestic low roar from his throat, like a general commanding an army.
"want!"
So a "ten" was dealt.
Rocky was stunned.
……ten?
His brain froze for a moment.
Ten plus seven...what's that?
"Ah, it's actually ten!" Bai Wei exclaimed at the right time, "Mr. Thumb, now as long as your trump card is a flower, then you will have the biggest one, so..."
Although he couldn't see the face clearly, Rocky still felt that Bai Wei opposite him showed him an expression of interest.
"Are you a karuta?"
Rocky said nothing.
He no longer needed to speak, because his trump card had already given the answer.
There was a crisp "bang" sound.
The cards exploded.
silence.
There was a long silence.
Rocky stared blankly.
Bai Wei said leisurely: "It seems not."
Then Rocky was about to explode, and he slammed the table and stood up: "You bastard, did you do this on purpose?! Can you give me a ten?!"
Before he could finish his words, the ancient tree in front of him began to shake.
Rocky subconsciously raised his head and saw the oppressive branches swaying in the wind, as if a silent giant was watching him quietly. That gaze was like an invisible hand, gently squeezing his heart.
Rocky immediately remembered where this place was and sat down instantly.
"Be careful with your words, Mr. Thumb." Bai Wei said leisurely, "What if Visas is not dead yet? Don't make him howl."
Bai Wei's words also made Wumingzhi and Menyan alert. They raised their heads and looked at the branches above their heads, and they also felt the pressure.
Although everyone here knows that Visas has been dead for a long time, the power he left behind still makes people yearn for and fear him.
Who knows if this paradise is likely to survive on its own?
After all, the new buds on the dead branches are not just for decoration.
Anyway, Rocky has calmed down.
Now, it is Bai Wei's turn as the dealer to open the cards.
Although Rocky had heard of some card games where the dealer wins if the dealer and the player have the same amount of money, their game did not state such a rule before the start, so Rocky could still expect a draw.
Once Bai Wei's cards also explode, they will all be tied and there will be no loser.
And Menya’s cards are either already so big that the possibility of Bai Wei winning him... is very small.
So, explode, explode!
Rocky shouted in his heart.
"It seems like it's my turn." Bai Wei seemed to have heard Rocky's inner cry, and smiled as he picked up the hole cards. "In that case... just open the cards, Mr. Front Tooth."
...Open the cards directly?!
Rocky was stunned.
The card on the front teeth is either half past nine or ten.
Bai Wei wanted to beat him with just one card, how was that possible?
Everyone looked at Bai Wei's trump card.
The bottom cards are slowly turned over.
Surprisingly,
A "three".
Everyone was stunned.
How can this be "three"?
How can it be such a small card?
And just... don’t want it anymore?
"It's over." Bai Wei looked at Menya, "I lost to you, Mr. Menya."
Then he looked at Rocky and the ring finger.
"But I beat both of you."
Rocky was still in a daze.
Wu Mingzhi had understood something. She looked up at Bai Wei and spoke slowly, "What a good plan, Mr. Hand and Eye... This is not a fair game at all. Your advantage is too great. As long as you can be patient and your luck is not that bad, you can always win one or two of them. As for the one who loses..."
The ring finger turned to look at the front teeth.
"What you lost was just a piece of information that had nothing to do with you. Although that piece of information was really important and Mr. Menya would most likely choose it, I think... since you knew that piece of information but didn't personally take it, it only shows that it was very difficult, so difficult that even you, who also had two pieces of corpse, couldn't snatch it away."
After Wuhuanzhi's explanation, Menya understood something. The joy of defeating Bai Wei was instantly dissipated, and he looked at Bai Wei coldly.
Bai Wei also shrugged and said with a smile: "After all, the opponent also has two body parts, the tongue and the ear. It's normal that I can't beat him, right? As for this game... didn't we agree to it from the beginning? Does Miss Wuhuanzhi want to regret it?"
"Of course not." Wu Mingzhi said calmly, "With the witness of Taoyuan Township, there is no possibility for us to regret. And you tricked us into doing it at the same time, which is also your ability, so you deserve this victory. But next time, I won't let you get your wish so easily."
Rocky, who was listening nearby, gnashed his teeth.
Next time?!
There's gonna be a next time?!
He had been cheated last time, why did he get cheated again this time! ?
The ring finger can say that he won’t do it next time, so what should he say?
Three times the limit?!
The more Rocky thought about it, the angrier he got.
Sooner or later, he will catch this bastard himself... No, isn't this guy being swallowed and chased now?
He won't live much longer!
So why am I still sending him heads? !
...After getting [Disturbance], I won't do anything big to this guy, right?
Thinking of this, Rocky regretted it even more.
"I have received your suggestion. If there is a next time, I will find a fairer game so that we can all experience it." Bai Wei smiled and clapped his hands. "Okay, now let's move on to the reward phase... Mr. Menya, as the biggest winner, what do you want from me?"
Men Ya looked at Bai Wei coldly.
Even though he knew that there was no way Bai Wei could lose, he still went to ask for information about the other two body parts. It was really a bit foolish of him jumping into a trap even though he knew it was a trap.
but……
Those are two body parts!
He really couldn't refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "I still want the information."
"No problem." Bai Wei snapped his fingers.
Then, Rocky felt that his hearing was cut off by some powerful force. He saw Bai Wei talking to Menya, but he could not hear what they were saying.
...Damn it, I originally wanted to mix it up.
It turns out that Taoyuan Township is not so easy to fool.
Half a minute later, his hearing returned, and Rocky saw Front Tooth nodded and said, "I understand."
With Taoyuan Township's guarantee, he didn't waste his time asking whether the information was true.
"Okay, it's our turn next." Bai Wei turned his gaze to Rocky and the ring finger.
Rocky said coldly: "If you want to take it, take it quickly."
"Don't worry." Bai Wei waved his hand and said with a smile, "I suddenly thought of whether I could add something else."
The ring finger didn't say anything, but Rocky narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Look, I gave you two options in my bargaining chips: body parts and information." Bai Wei spread his hands and said, "You can do the same."
Wu Mingzhi shook his head and said, "I don't have any information about other body parts."
"It doesn't have to be other body parts... Tsk, how about this." Bai Wei raised a finger, "Change a message into a question. Let me ask you a question. Anyway, according to the rules of Taoyuan Township, you can't lie."
"What if we don't know the answer to this question?"
"I don't know is already the answer." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Of course, we can also add a restriction, that is, we are not allowed to explore the other party's identity... What do you think?"
Ring Finger and Rocky looked at each other.
However, the ring finger just glanced at Rocky and quickly looked away, as if it was more willing to think on its own than communicate with Rocky.
This is also a difficult question to decide.
Which is more important: a random question that does not involve the other party's identity and must be answered, or the use of a rule once.
If you don't know the other person's identity, then the rules are more important no matter how you look at it.
After all, if you choose the rules, then it is very likely that you will not be able to use the rules for the next month. This is a very risky thing for them, the holders of the corpses, not to mention that the price of the rules needs to be paid by themselves. Once the price is paid in danger, it will be even more dangerous.
And the question that must be answered...as long as it does not directly involve identity, it seems that there is nothing that cannot be answered.
Especially if “I don’t know” is considered an answer, then the risk is even smaller.
Thinking of this, the ring finger made a decision.
“I choose the problems.”
Rocky's voice sounded at the same time.
“I choose the rules.”
Then both of them looked at each other with slight surprise, but neither of them said anything else.
From Rocky's perspective, since [Disturbance] has already been given out once, there is nothing wrong with giving it again.
Some things are often the hardest to accept the first time, but once you get used to them, they're no big deal.
But the questions that must be answered are different.
Rocky was very suspicious whether this guy Uru had already guessed his identity, so he wanted to test it out.
After all, the obvious rule is that you can't directly inquire into the other party's identity, but you can do it indirectly.
If you already have a guess before asking the question, there will be too many ways to circumvent this restriction, so Rocky must be cautious.
Well, after suffering two losses in a row, Rocky feels that he is now... very powerful.
I will definitely not eat it a third time!
He made up his mind secretly.
Bai Wei smiled and said, "Okay, then Mr. Thumb, I will accept your [Disturbance] again."
As he spoke, he held out his hand.
The light of [Disturbance] attached to the ancient tree slowly fell and gathered on Bai Wei's right thumb like a firefly.
This made Rocky feel very sad.
His rules...were taken away by Bai Wei again.
What a bastard!
After taking away [Disturbance], Bai Wei ignored Rocky and looked at his ring finger.
Rocky and Frontal's hearing was blocked once again.
And the ring finger also began to tense up.
Not only was I nervous, I even felt a little... regretful.
After Bai Wei slowly opened his mouth, Wuhuanzhi really began to regret it.
"Tell me, what is sealed in the contract land?"
Wumingzhi's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.
How did he know I was from the Land of Order? !
Before Wu Mingzhi could figure it out, her body had already responded, and she spoke out the words one by one with difficulty.
"Visas's..."
"A body."
