Chapter 269 Don't wait for me to feed you
The advanced rules of [Domination] and [Control] require the cooperation of [Listening] to be used.
Generally speaking, [Domination] has two uses. One is to directly issue orders and forcibly control the body of the dominated. The other is to directly interfere with the other person's mind and subtly make the other person believe your words.
[Domination] is an advanced version of the latter, which can forcibly rewrite a certain cognition of the other party while directly peeking into the other party's heart.
To give a simple example, [Domination] can make the Rhine priest believe that the Wildfire Cultists are all good people, while [Leadership] can make the Rhine priest believe that he is a Wildfire Cultist.
And this process will last for a long time. For ordinary people who have no magic power at all, it may even be a lifetime.
And it was with [Domination] that Bai Wei directly replaced Visas, the deepest obsession in the Devourer's heart, with "an inhuman being with divine power."
In their cognition, the inhuman beings with divine powers were themselves, so they naturally began to kill each other.
However, for Bai Wei now, it is not easy to use [Domination], because the cost it requires is no lower than [Contemplation], and when facing a target with divinity like the Devourer, its effect will be greatly reduced.
With the broken body that Bai Wei currently possesses, he can only use it two or three times at most in a short period of time.
And he must save one of them for...
Bai Wei raised his head and looked at Vic who was waiting for him not far away.
Yvina was still mumbling to Vic.
"Are you being controlled by that guy? Or threatened?"
"In that case, now is a good opportunity. While he's taking a shit, we can rush in quickly and get rid of him, right?"
"You believe me!"
Vic looked at Ivana in confusion: "I'm not controlled or threatened by Father Uru, he has always been helping me, why do you keep calling me... huh?"
He seemed to react suddenly and looked at Ivana suspiciously.
"Miss Saint, do you have any bad thoughts?"
Ivana's expression froze. When she was about to say something to prove herself, she heard Bai Wei cough twice and immediately became obedient.
"Father Uru, you're back." Vic looked at Bai Wei, and then his nose moved slightly, smelling something, "Why do you have a strange smell on your body... Is it the smell of blood?"
Hearing the "smell of blood", Ivana took a curious look, and her expression seemed to say - "Did you poop and bleed?"
Bai Wei just smiled and patted Weike's head: "It's just a little trouble, it's been solved."
"A little trouble?"
"Yes." Bai Wei looked at Ivana meaningfully, "After all, there are more than just the three of us here."
Upon hearing this, Ivana's face immediately turned pale, and then she subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look at Bai Wei.
Vic thought Bai Wei was talking about the pursuers.
Whether it was the Wildfire Cultists who came after him or the Rhine Knights who came after Bai Wei, since they had already chased him here, Vic was still quite worried: "Are you okay?"
"Don't worry." Bai Wei said with a faint smile, "It has been resolved."
After hearing what Bai Wei said, Vic finally felt relieved.
He was still very confident in Bai Wei's strength, and before coming, Bai Wei also told him not to fight until all problems were resolved, so as to avoid losing his mind completely after transforming into a wolf again and being unable to be saved.
And Vic also knew what a Wildfire Cultist who had completely lost his mind looked like, so he would naturally remember it even more.
"Okay." Bai Wei pretended not to notice Ivana's strangeness, looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and asked with a smile, "Miss Saint, it's almost night, do we still need to continue on our journey?"
“No… of course not.” Ivana had adjusted her mentality and tried to keep her expression as calm as possible. She pointed ahead and said, “We can rest not far ahead. We will set off again after daybreak.”
Just as Ivina said, after walking forward for about ten minutes, we saw a narrow fork in the road that was trampled by people.
Ivina led the two of them onto the fork in the road, and after walking for about five minutes, two small houses appeared in the sight of the three.
"You can stay in the house over there tonight." Ivana pointed at one of them and said, "That's the rest house built for hunters in the Senluo era. Although it's very old, it's still usable. At least it's enough to spend the night."
Before Vic could speak, Bai Wei had already looked towards the other house: "What about over there?"
"That's where the Saint lives." Ivana said, "So I'll stay there tonight."
"I see." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Your house is really nice."
"After all, we have been living here all this time." Ivana said, and prepared to return to her Saint's House, "So see you tomorrow."
But before she could walk far, Bai Wei's hand suddenly rested on Ivana's shoulder, and then he said something that made Ivana's body stiffen instantly.
"So why don't we live together?"
Ivana subconsciously turned around, took a step back, and pretended to be calm: “No, no need, I can live by myself, this is how I have always been.”
"It has been correct all along, but it's different tonight." Bai Wei took another step forward, still smiling, "You heard it just now, right? The Wildfire Cultists and some troublesome guys are chasing us. If you live alone, you will be in danger once they find you first."
Ivana continued to retreat: "Don't underestimate me, I am a saint!"
"But you said it yourself, the Saint Girl has no fighting ability." Bai Wei pressed on, "For your safety, it's better for us to live together."
“No, no need!” Ivana began to panic. “My grandmother is in there. She will protect me.”
"Oh? Does your grandmother live here too?" Bai Wei stepped forward again and pushed Ivana to the door. "Isn't this perfect? Now that we are here, we should say hello to your grandmother. This is basic courtesy. Is she inside?"
Ivina had already retreated to the front of the house. If she retreated any further, she would have to go in, so she gritted her teeth and guarded the door tightly.
"No, I can't." Ivana looked up at Bai Wei, her eyes full of stubbornness and scheming were now filled with pleading, "My grandmother is sick, very seriously ill... Please, don't disturb her, okay?"
Her voice was trembling.
Bai Wei didn't buy it, and there was always a smile on his face that showed he saw through everything. He slowly raised his hand and stretched it towards Ivana in the face of her desperate gaze.
But the hand stopped before touching Yvina.
Because Vic grabbed Bai Wei's hand.
"Well, Father Uru." Vic scratched his head and said, "If the Saint doesn't want to, then forget it. We have a place to live anyway. And the Saint's grandmother is already sick, so she still needs some quiet time, right?"
Yvina turned her head and looked at Vic with some surprise who came to plead for her.
After hearing what Vic said, Bai Wei pondered for a while and then actually took his hand back.
"Well... you're right." Bai Wei said with a smile, "It's really not appropriate to disturb a sick old man. Well... then I'll go see what the house is like first."
After saying that, Bai Wei turned and left, heading towards the hunter's hut prepared for them.
Seeing this, Ivana finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she heard Vic whisper to her: "Don't mind it, Father Uru has no ill intentions, he just likes to tease others, but please rest assured, he doesn't like women."
"……ah?"
There was a hint of dullness in Ivana's expression. Before she could figure out what this meant, Vic went after Bai Wei and waved at her, as if to say "see you tomorrow".
Soon, Bai Wei and Vic both entered the hunter's cabin.
Only Ivina was still standing in front of the Saint's Hut, and no one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, she pursed her lips tightly and went into her own room.
The room was dark, with only a faint light coming in from the window and shining on the wooden bed in the corner.
In the dim light, a thin old man sat there quietly, seemingly looking at her.
However, only half of her body was left, with large chunks of flesh and internal organs missing, making her look like pork from a slaughterhouse.
"...Grandma." Ivana said softly, "I'm back."
Then, Ivana walked forward and lay in the woman's arms.
…
"If you tell me I don't like women again, I'll kill you."
Facing Vic who had just entered, Bai Wei calmly said some threatening words.
Vic was a little confused: "Didn't you tell Miss Rilla yourself?"
"There are lies in the adult world." Bai Wei fiddled with the brazier in front of him, "You should learn how to distinguish between truth and lies."
"...I don't quite understand." Vic said, "Why would you lie about something like this?"
"What's the point of telling the truth about this kind of thing?"
Vic was even more confused.
Bai Wei smiled and did not go into the topic further. Instead, he asked, "Did you smell the odor in the room just now?"
"Uh, yeah." Vic nodded. "I smell lots and lots of spice."
"Why do you think that is?"
"I have no idea."
"Then did you smell any living beings in there?"
Vic hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"That's it."
Bai Wei broke a piece of firewood and threw it into the brazier beside him, then he used the Rhine spell to make a ball of fire and threw it in.
The flames licked the wood and burned little by little, and the fire flickered in Vic's eyes.
"I still don't understand," Vic said, "If Miss Saint's grandmother is no longer alive, why is she unwilling to tell us the truth?"
Bai Wei said, "Do you remember the doctor we met in Yade Town? He had a locked room. You asked me what was in it, but I didn't answer you."
Vic nodded.
"I can tell you now that the things in there are the same as those in this Saint Lady's."
Vic continued to listen, waiting to find out what Bai Wei meant by "the same".
But Bai Wei seemed to have finished the topic and just burned the wood leisurely.
Vic couldn't help but ask, "So what is it?"
"Huh?" Bai Wei looked at Vic in surprise, "Can't you find the answer yourself?"
Vic was confused: "You're telling me all this so I can find the answers myself?"
"What else?" Bai Wei said slowly, "You are already an adult, don't expect others to feed you."
Although he had been with Bai Wei for some time, Vic thought he had some understanding of Bai Wei, but he was still stunned by Bai Wei's remarks.
But he didn't know how to refute. He held it in for a long time, until his face turned red, and then he said, "You never fed me! I ate by myself! And the dry food was on me!"
"Oh, right, right." Bai Wei waved his hand, "Don't worry about it. Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."
Vic, who was extremely depressed, could only sit down next to Bai Wei and prepare to grill something to eat.
Just at this moment, he heard Bai Wei say slowly.
“Not everyone can accept the truth.”
Vic looked up at Bai Wei: "What did you say?"
"I say," Bai Wei said with a smile, "please don't burn it."
…
After nightfall.
Yvina pushed the door open carefully and looked at the hunter's cabin not far away.
After the fire in the hunter's cabin was completely extinguished, she quickly went out with a black package in her arms.
After walking through the jungle for more than half an hour, she came to a cave.
Inside the cave, a huge man was sitting there, and he raised his head when he heard the footsteps.
"Oh, Miss Saint." He said with a smile, "You are here. Does it mean that you have completed the task we assigned to you?"
"...Yes." Ivana was very nervous. "I have taken them to live in the hunter's cabin. They don't have any suspicions."
"Really? That's great." The man nodded slightly. "We are very pleased that you were able to complete this task so well. I also believe that you will be able to take on the position of our Wildfire Saint in the future."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter." Ivana whispered, "I just need you to fulfill your promise."
"Of course." The man said with a smile, "Did you bring the things?"
Ivana nodded and handed over the package in her arms.
This is a meat loaf.
The man took it, weighed it in his hand, and nodded: "Very good, it's almost done."
Then, another man came out of the cave and took the package away in silence.
Yvina asked, “How long do I have to wait?”
"Next time." The man said with a smile, "Next time you come here, your grandmother will greet you."
