Chapter 281 Five Corpse Parts
Abeke could no longer remember what had happened to him. He just felt like he had a long and chaotic nightmare. When he woke up, he was like this now.
But he still recognized that voice, the voice he heard in Taoyuan Township, the voice that guided him here and became what he is now.
"Hands and eyes!" All his mouths screamed in unison, "What did you do to me?!"
Bai Wei did not deny his identity and said with a smile: "You can still recognize my voice. It seems that you have regained a lot of your sanity. But your current state has nothing to do with me. Have you forgotten? I just told you an address."
The eyes in Abeke's mouth were fixed on Bai Wei.
"What you told me was clearly the whereabouts of another person..."
Abeke got stuck mid-sentence.
After merging with the Devourer, he has gained the ability to sense corpses.
And now he could indeed sense the scent of the corpse on Bai Wei's body.
but.
More than one, more than two...
Abeke's six or seven pupils trembled at the same time.
Because he sensed... five different auras of corpses on Bai Wei's body.
"Five pieces?!" he cried out in horror, "Why do you have five pieces of body?!"
Bai Wei's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he smiled and said, "Oh? You can actually sense five parts?"
When he heard the word "five", Bai Wei subconsciously thought it meant hands, eyes, tongue, ears, and bones.
But if you think about it carefully, the power of that bone has been given to Hevinia, so Abeke should not be able to sense it.
Then that “five” should be... Bai Wei himself.
In other words, Visas' soul.
And it turned out that Bai Wei was not wrong. With the help of [watching] and [listening], Bai Wei was able to see himself as perceived by Abeke.
The four parts of the body, namely the hands, eyes, tongue and ears, are like puppets, and above these four puppets is a hand pulling the strings, which is Bai Wei himself.
But they do share the same origin.
Abeke didn't know what Bai Wei was thinking. At this moment, in his mind... Oh, he no longer had a brain. All his cells and organs were concentrated in this arm. The hunter's fire really brought him a great burden, making it impossible for the Devourer's cells to quickly regenerate.
"What... are you?" Abeke stared at Bai Wei intently, "Why do you have so many body parts? Could it be..."
His pupils narrowed slightly and he thought of a possibility.
"You killed that guy before I came?"
Bai Wei smiled.
It is normal for Abeke to have such thoughts, which means that until now he has never doubted the "fairness" of Taoyuan Township, and has never thought that he has become like this in Taoyuan Township.
Since Abeke thought so, Bai Wei had no intention of explaining it to him. He just smiled and nodded, which was considered as his agreement.
"Even if that's the case, you should only have four!"
"It's already like this." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Is there any difference between four and five?"
Abeke's body trembled even more violently.
Yes, it's already like this, what's the difference between four and five? Anyway, he only has one copy.
But if he had known that the other party had so many body parts, he would never have come here.
He would just hide, no matter how hard he tried, and would never think of resisting.
Because only the holders of the body parts understand how powerful they are. Even though Abeke has survived for so many years, eaten so many strong people, and mastered almost all the obvious combat rules in this world, he still dares not face a guy who possesses four or five body parts at the same time.
Two pieces of body parts were already the limit of his psychological endurance.
But this guy has five! Five whole portions!
"How on earth did you do it?!" Abeke screamed at Bai Wei in despair, "Why are you so lucky?! If I had come first, if I had come first..."
He thought of something and his breathing became heavier.
"I understand, I understand..." He stared at Bai Wei intently, "That guy has been under your control for a long time, but you have never taken any action. You just want to lure another one over through Taoyuan Township, right?"
Bai Wei was a little surprised.
I was surprised that Abeke had constructed a self-consistent hypothesis.
But he still didn't expose it, just looked at Abeke quietly and smiled.
And in Abeke's eyes, this expression clearly meant consent.
"It's true... It's actually true." Abeke murmured, "You lunatic, you devil, you... liar, yes, you liar!"
He finally found the most suitable words to describe Bai Wei. His entire arm suddenly became longer, like a king cobra ready to attack at any time, with six or seven mouths opening at the same time.
"That game is a scam! You have been invincible since the beginning! Winning or losing has no meaning to you, because you win no matter what!"
At this time, Bai Wei finally stopped being silent. He shrugged and said with a smile, "This is what a banker is like, Mr. Menya."
Abeke didn't know what to say anymore.
In that gambling game, he had already realized that no matter how the game was played, Bai Wei would most likely be the one who would not lose.
But he felt that he was also a winner. After all, he got the information he had always dreamed of.
It was not until now, with the five body parts placed in front of him, that he realized that apart from Bai Wei, there were no winners in that gambling game; everyone was a loser.
But I, who thought I was the winner, was actually the biggest loser.
Because he was standing right here, facing Bai Wei. And the thumb that looked like he had a brain problem was still alive and well!
At this moment, endless regret and anger surged into Abeke's heart.
"Let me go." He spoke again, with a pleading tone in his voice, "You already have five body parts. No one in this world can stop you. You can do whatever you want, right? Then let me go. Really, you don't need this tooth."
"Mr. Fang." Bai Wei said, "Do you think this is possible?"
Abeke's hands froze and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
After a long while, he whispered as if he had made some kind of decision.
"Okay, I'll give you the tooth as long as you let me go. That shouldn't be a problem, right? I don't want this body part anymore. I just want to be alive, that's all." He looked at Bai Wei pleadingly.
But under his expectant gaze, Bai Wei shook his head.
Abeke's expression froze. "If you are worried that I will reveal your identity after I leave, then there is no need to worry. I can guarantee it! If you don't believe me, you can dig out my eyes, cut off my tongue, chop off my fingers, anything is fine! I just need to survive, okay?"
Bai Wei shook his head again.
The hope in Abeke's eyes suddenly turned into anger.
"Do you really want to kill me?!" he yelled, "Don't think you can take me down just because you have five pieces of my body! Hands and eyes, do you know how strong I am?! Do you know how many of those self-proclaimed powerful guys I ate and how much power they gave me?! Do you really dare to take the risk?"
"You misunderstood, Mr. Menya." Bai Wei interrupted Abeke calmly, "It's not that I want to put you to death, but... you can't survive anymore."
"You're talking nonsense!" Abeke said, "Who else can kill me except you!?"
"Look at what you look like now, Mr. Fang." Bai Wei said, "Do you really think you can go back?"
Abeke froze.
He pressed his palm down slightly, lowered his head, and then used the eye in the palm of his hand to look at his current appearance.
"You have been deeply influenced by the Devourer." Bai Wei said, "If I hadn't severely damaged the Devourer in your body before, weakening its influence on you, you would not have woken up until now, and you still can't remember who you are. Can you really go back to the past?"
Abeke began to tremble again.
"I think you've already felt it, Mr. Menya." Bai Wei said again, "You are already hopeless. Even if I do nothing now and let you go, it won't be long before your mind will be devoured by those things again. By that time, no one will be able to save you."
As if to verify Bai Wei's statement, except for the eye in his palm, Abeke's other eyes and mouth seemed to come alive again. They began to look around uncontrollably, but finally all fell on Bai Wei, and the resentment in his eyes gushed out like a tide.
Abeke's breathing continued to get heavier.
He raised his "head" again and looked at Bai Wei: "What should I do?"
"You've been able to hold on until now because of me... I mean, Visas's tooth is naturally able to suppress everything from the gods." Bai Wei said, "So as long as you work hard, you can still suppress the resentment of the gods for a short period of time, and even force them to a focus."
"Then what?"
"Then I can erase them."
"What about me?"
"You will die."
"Why should I agree to you if we are all going to die?"
"Because..." Bai Wei said slowly, "You can still die with a human mind, not a monster."
Abeke's mouth dropped open.
…
"Found it." The leading knight whispered, "Visas's presence, they are just ahead."
The coffin was banging loudly, and the other devourer inside seemed to be unable to suppress its innate impulse.
Fig raised his head and looked into the distance.
In fact, he didn't need the knight to remind him, he could see it himself.
Those two guys facing each other.
It seems that their inferences all along were correct.
There are two people who hold the body parts.
Thinking of this, Fig couldn't help but smile.
"Get closer," he ordered, "and try to hit the target with one strike."
The knights stepped forward one after another, and the lock of the coffin opened with a clang.
How many body parts can we get this time?
Figg couldn't wait any longer.
…
Abeke didn't speak for a long time.
Bai Wei was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.
Finally, he spoke slowly, his voice extremely hoarse: "So I'm going to die anyway, right?"
"Yes." Bai Wei nodded slightly, "You should be able to feel it, after all, no one knows your current situation better than you."
"Yes." He said softly, "I feel it too. I'm dead. The next step is just to choose a way to die. In that case, let's do as you say."
Bai Wei raised his eyebrows: "Have you decided?"
"Yes." He said, "Like you said, since we are all going to die, we might as well die as humans. In this way, I only lost to you—another human being, and a holder of the same body parts as me. From a certain perspective, we can even be said to be of the same kind. You are a better kind than me, so you won in the end."
"Do you really think so?"
"Of course." He slowly closed his eyes, his voice full of resignation and relief, "No matter what, I can't die at the hands of such a monster."
As he finished speaking, the other eyes on his arm seemed to be under some powerful pressure, and they closed one after another with reluctance.
"Come on," said Abeke, "Kill me, let me die as a human being, and then take my teeth. You deserve it!"
The eyes and mouths still wanted to struggle, but Abeke exerted force again, making them unable to move.
"Come on!" he shouted.
But Bai Wei did not move, still standing there leisurely.
After waiting for a long time without seeing any movement, Abe finally opened his eyes. He tried hard to suppress his anger while looking at Bai Wei in confusion.
"Why don't you do it?" he asked through gritted teeth, "I can't hold on any longer."
Bai Wei said slowly: "Mr. Menya, have you forgotten that one of my body parts is my eyes?"
Abeke's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked at Bai Wei's left eye. That star-like eye was staring at him quietly, as if it had seen through everything.
"It seems that you don't believe me, Mr. Menya." Bai Wei said with a smile.
As soon as Bai Wei finished speaking, all the eyes on Abeke's arm opened instantly.
Then countless chains of corruption sprang out from the ground in front of him and rushed towards Bai Wei one after another like poisonous snakes.
If Bai Wei had stepped forward just now, he would have been strangled by these corrupt chains in an instant.
"I won't die!" Abeke screamed at Bai Wei, "I just want to kill you! Take away all your body parts and get more power from Visas, then I can suppress these monsters! I won't die, absolutely not!"
Bai Wei sighed softly.
"I have always wanted that kid to understand that recognizing and accepting the facts is also a great courage."
Bai Wei said.
“But it’s not an easy thing after all.”
The chain of corruption engulfed Bai Wei.
Happy New Year!!
I am still typing on New Year's Eve, not because I am diligent, but because... I don't have a leave application (crying).
