Chapter 268 Rules [Domination]
After hearing Bai Wei's words, Ivana's expression froze for a moment.
"You, what do you mean?" She looked up at Bai Wei and couldn't help but raise her voice, trying to make up for her lack of height. "What do you mean I'm the only living person here?"
"It means exactly what it says." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Do you live alone?"
Ivana subconsciously wanted to say, "So what?"
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
Bai Wei's eyes made her feel uneasy. Under Bai Wei's gaze, Ivana actually felt that all her lies were meaningless. In addition, Vic was also looking at her curiously. This made Ivana realize that lying about this was not a wise thing to do, so after hesitating for a while, she still answered: "I live with my grandmother."
"Grandma?" Bai Wei asked, "Is there no one else? Where are your parents?"
"Dead." Ivana answered a little stiffly, "She died a long time ago. I grew up with my grandmother. She was the previous saint before me."
"I see." Bai Wei nodded slightly, "But the God of Senluo has been dead for so many years, but the Saint of Senluo is still passing on the legacy?"
"What's the problem?" Ivana said, "Does the god no longer need to live? If the God of Senluo is gone, does Senluo no longer need hunters? My family has been guarding here for generations, guiding the way for countless hunters... Don't you think we shouldn't exist?"
Perhaps because Bai Wei asked her too hastily, Ivana's words seemed a bit aggressive.
But she regretted it right after she said it. After all, Bai Wei did look like someone who was not easy to mess with.
But Bai Wei was not angry. He just shrugged and said with a smile: "I didn't say that. On the contrary, I still admire you very much."
Ivana hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say "I don't need your admiration". She turned to look at Vic and asked, "So, what do you say?"
"Ah?" Vic didn't react immediately. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, do you believe me?" Ivana pointed at herself and said seriously, "You lost your little wolf and your memory. You shouldn't trust anyone now, right? But I hope you believe me, because I am the contemporary saint of Senluo, and I am on your side."
Ivana spoke the last half of the sentence very softly, as if she only wanted Vic to hear it.
But Vic scratched his head and said, "I believe you. And I believe not only you, but also Father Uru... You are not Wildfire Cultists, so why shouldn't I believe you?"
"Well……"
Such a straightforward answer made Ivana a little unsure of what to say.
"Okay, Miss Saint." Bai Wei said with a smile, "I believe in you just like Vic, so you don't need to worry about this problem anymore. Instead of wasting time on this, it is better to tell the child what happened half a month ago. This is what he cares about most."
Vic nodded repeatedly.
Ivana frowned slightly, and then said hesitantly: "Actually, I don't know what happened specifically, because I didn't go in with them at the time."
"You just saw him and the puppy here?"
"No, I led them a distance inside... No, they were clearly wolves!" Ivana corrected, "Can't you tell the difference between a wolf and a dog?"
Just one sentence made Vic nod his head faster: "Yes, yes, Ade is a wolf!"
This reaction was naturally noticed by Ivana.
Bai Wei smiled and didn't say much.
According to Ivana, half a month ago, when she met Vic and Ade, she was not yet a formal saint, and had not received the official mantle from her grandmother. According to the rules, she could not send Vic and Ade directly to the sacrificial site, so she only sent them a distance, and then told the man and the wolf about the ceremony of power inheritance before leaving.
She didn't know what happened afterwards.
"So I was surprised when I saw you before." Ivana said, "Logically, hunters who have completed the ritual will not come back here, so I thought you were here to do something bad, so I was watching you from outside... You said you can't smell me? That's normal. Although the Saint can't fight, she still needs some self-protection ability. After all, those Wildfire Cultists have been keeping an eye on the sacrificial site."
As she spoke, Ivana glanced at Bai Wei with a strange look, as if she was puzzled by how Bai Wei could easily see through her concealment.
Bai Wei just smiled without any explanation.
After all, he couldn't say that Ivana's calculations were too loud and he heard them clearly.
"Have the Wildfire Cultists been keeping an eye on this place as well?" Vic was obviously more concerned about this aspect.
"Of course." Ivana nodded. "They naturally want to obtain the power of the hunters, but they dare not enter the sacrificial site directly."
"You don't dare to enter the sacrificial site directly? Why is that?"
"Because the power of the God of Senluo has not completely disappeared." Ivana said, "The remaining power is still there."
Vic was even more surprised: "The power of the God of Senluo is still there?"
"Of course...but why do you react like this?" Ivana asked, "If His power is gone, why did you come here to look for the Hunter's power?"
"Uh... because I met an old hunter." Vic said, "He told me that I was deceived by the Wildfire Cultists and that the sacrificial site had been controlled by the Wildfire Cultists."
Then, Vic told Ivana everything Ryan had said to him before, and Bai Wei shook his head.
He really tells everything without any sense of caution.
If you meet someone who is a little more scheming, like Hevinia, he will really take off your underwear.
Moreover, Ivana was about to carve the word "suspicious" on her forehead, but this guy was still not on guard at all.
Oh, forget it.
Anyway, he is watching over it, and he still needs the saint Ivina to complete the last step for him.
Sure enough, after listening to Vic's words, Ivana immediately shook her head: "That hunter is wrong, he is lying to you."
"Ah?" Vic's brows immediately frowned, and his tone became unhappy, "But Mr. Ryan is a good man."
Noticing this, Ivana spoke up immediately: "If that's the case, then he was deceived. At least he doesn't know the real situation here. The hunter heritage of the sacrificial site has always been there, and the power of the God of Senluo has not completely disappeared. Otherwise, why would the Wildfire Cultists just watch? They should have already attacked and stolen the authority of the God of Senluo."
Vic was stunned by what Ivina said: "Yes, is that so?"
Although his tone was still a little hesitant, his expression was clearly not far from complete belief.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, I can take you to see it." Ivana said, "Now that I am an official saint, I can accompany you to the end. Can't you just witness it with your own eyes to see if what I say is a lie?"
"Well..." Vic was obviously convinced by Yvina and nodded, "I will go and see it with my own eyes, and Father Uru will help me."
"……he?"
Ivana looked at Bai Wei and hesitated again.
"What's wrong?" Bai Wei still had a smile on his face, "Don't you welcome me?"
Ivana's body shuddered involuntarily.
She really didn't know why. Ming Wei looked so frail, as if he could be blown away by the wind, and he even limped on one leg. But the psychological pressure he put on Ivana was so great that it felt like he could crush her to death with just a flick of his finger.
So Ivana originally wanted to reject Bai Wei by saying, "He is not from Senluo, and cannot enter the sacrificial site." However, under Bai Wei's kind smile, she could not say such words at all. She just said stiffly, "He is not from Senluo. If he insists on going in with me, he must listen to me."
"Of course." Bai Wei was still as kind as the most amiable old priest in Rhine. "I will listen to you."
“…Okay.” Ivana didn’t dare to look Bai Wei in the eye, so she looked away and said reluctantly, “Then you can come along too.”
So, after Ivina took Vic to worship the statue of Senluo in front of them, she opened the back door of the temple and took the lead in setting foot on the road leading to the sacrificial site.
Vic walked with her, while Bai Wei deliberately lagged behind. Before leaving, he glanced at the Senluo statue that was about to be swallowed by the darkness and smiled meaningfully.
After leaving the first temple, we officially set foot on the road leading to the sacrificial site. There were stone lamps one after another on both sides of the road, but none of them were lit. If you look closely, you can find that they have been abandoned for a long time. Even the extinguished ashes cannot be seen inside. It is obvious that they have been abandoned for a long time.
Bai Wei didn't know if it was out of fear or some other reason, but when he saw Ivina, who was walking in front of him, talking to Vic, he secretly took Vic's hand, quickened his pace, and put a few steps away from Bai Wei, who was walking slowly. He also lowered his voice, but Vic seemed to feel nothing and was still listening to Ivina very seriously.
Bai Wei wanted to laugh when he saw this.
In fact, the reason why Ivana was so afraid of Bai Wei was not just because her perception was really excellent, but because Bai Wei did it deliberately.
Because Bai Wei knew what this saint lady was thinking, and Bai Wei also needed this little plan.
But not now.
So Bai Wei needed to put some pressure on her so that she wouldn't start causing trouble so quickly, so that he could deal with some other difficult things first.
As for Yvina...
Bai Wei looked at Ivana's back, and with the help of [Listening], he saw the deepest part of Ivana's heart.
She was an old woman, curled up on a tattered wooden bed, with little life in her cloudy eyes.
The scene flashed by.
It immediately turned into whispers that Ivana thought Bai Wei couldn't hear.
"What is your relationship with that priest? Do you know where he came from?"
"From the Rhine? Why do you trust him so much?"
"You are just too trusting! You should figure out who can really help you."
"Of course it's me! You are the last hunter of Senluo, and I am the last saint of Senluo. If we don't build a trusting relationship between us, Senluo will be doomed!"
"Well... Sen Luo is indeed finished. You are right about that."
"But that's not the point!"
Bai Wei chuckled and shook his head.
The purpose is too obvious, it can only deceive Vic, a guy who knows nothing.
But then again, this little saint has lived here since she was a child, and has rarely seen outsiders. In terms of knowledge, it is very likely that she is not even as knowledgeable as Hevinia was back then. It has been a great effort for her to be where she is now.
If not... huh?
Bai Wei suddenly stopped.
Vic, who was full of insight, naturally noticed it and immediately turned around to look at Bai Wei: "Father Uru? What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Bai Wei said with a smile, "I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. You guys go to the front and wait for me."
"Is that so? Then we...ah."
Before Vic could finish his words, he was pulled away by Yvina.
"He's about to have diarrhea. Are you still waiting here? Let's go."
The little saint's voice became smaller and smaller, and soon, the backs of the two disappeared from Bai Wei's sight.
Bai Wei sighed softly.
"Well, we still have to deal with the troublesome guy first."
As he said this, he turned around.
Under his gaze, one after another, broken monsters emerged from the woods, with black fluids flowing from their mouths.
"Visas..."
"Visas..."
"Visas..."
They crawled towards Bai Wei in unison.
This is just the one that Vic killed when they first met... no, to be precise, it's half of it.
The other half went to find Abeke, and this half came to find Bai Wei.
Faced with these monsters that could neither be killed nor escaped, Bai Wei really didn't want to get entangled with them, and had tried every means to avoid them before.
But they still caught up with him. With the help of [Listening], Bai Wei was able to see the obsession deep in their hearts.
Such chaos, such hatred, such vastness.
It's like several balls of wool tangled together, and just looking at it makes people feel overwhelmed.
But Bai Wei knew that the end of this chaos... was him.
That's why these undead guys can reunite after being beaten to pieces countless times, and then come looking for him again. They will never give up until they have devoured him completely.
It seems that this is an enemy that Bai Wei is completely unable to deal with now.
but……
With a "swish" sound.
All the Devourers rushed towards Bai Wei.
Bai Wei slowly pulled down his collar, revealing his mouth completely.
What these Devourers didn't know was that the cost of [Visus Phantom] had already ended last night.
Bai Wei looked at the Devourers who were listening with their hearts and minds fully open, and spoke slowly in an unquestionable tone.
"What you resent is not Visas, but... the inhuman creature that possesses divine power."
This sounded like an order, but also like a calm statement of fact.
After these words were spoken, all the Devourers froze in place.
In the sea of heart of [Listening], the chaotic and disordered resentment of the Devourers was constantly swaying, as if an invisible hand reached into their deepest consciousness, making those already disorganized balls of wool even more chaotic.
Then the source of everything was changed from Visas to another thing, that is, "a non-human being with divine power"!
This is the advanced rule obtained by using [Dominate] in the [Listening] state - [Command]!
"Continue your hunting." Bai Wei said calmly.
The Devourers slowly turned their heads and turned their gazes to... each other.
Bai Wei covered his mouth, which was beginning to bleed, with his collar and turned away.
And the Devourers fought each other.
