Chapter 312 Lifespan Cut in Half
The Land of Contract had not officially appeared in the game, so Bai Wei had never seen anyone from the Land of Contract. But when the messenger from the Land of Contract appeared, Bai Wei recognized him immediately.
The reason was very simple, that is, Bai Wei felt a very familiar aura on the other party, that is, the power of the corpse. Of course, this does not mean that the messenger has Visas' corpse on him, but that he is also in a state affected by the rules of the corpse.
And this rule is naturally the [Contract] of Miss Ring Finger.
In Blasphemy, the Land of Contract did not officially appear, but the official may have released some settings in order to attract attention for the release of DLC. The most critical one is that the Land of Contract is actually built around the rules of a body part of Visas, and this body part is the ring finger, and this rule is the [Contract].
However, the official did not explain what the specific rules were. This resulted in Bai Weidu becoming Visas himself, but still not knowing what each part of his body was used for. It was really a big mess.
But it didn't matter. Since the name was already [Contract], we could make a rough guess. All we had to do next was to verify it. So Bai Wei used Lyle's body to meet the messenger and stopped him before he entered Isaiah's field of vision.
"Follow me." Bai Wei said lightly.
The messenger didn't notice anything, but his eyes suddenly became dazed. Then he turned around naturally and followed Bai Wei silently, walking out of Wuming Town.
By the time the messenger came to his senses as if awakened from a dream, he had arrived in an unfamiliar alley, where a young black marketeer was smiling at him strangely.
"Hello, messenger from the Land of Contract." Bai Wei said slowly.
The messenger was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he was attacked. He immediately raised his hand and tried to attack Bai Wei.
Bai Wei stood there leisurely without moving a muscle. The messenger was tied up tightly by several magic chains that suddenly rose up and attacked from behind him.
"Ahem..." The messenger realized that the opponent's strength was not on the same level as his, so he quickly started to play dumb, "Who are you?! Why are you attacking me? Damn it, you want to rob me, right? That's fine, my things are all here..."
The messenger stopped talking halfway because Bai Wei increased the strength of the magic chain and his neck was almost broken.
"You should know that it's meaningless to talk nonsense." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Tell me, what is the plan for the Contract Land? Where is your gathering? As long as you are willing to tell me, just nod your head and I will let you go. If you don't want to, I won't force you. It's better to die early and reincarnate early."
The messenger stared at Bai Wei intently. He didn't understand how his identity was exposed.
Could it be that gang of black marketeers? Impossible, they were clearly also bound by the contract.
The power of the magic chain was still slowly increasing, and Bai Wei was watching him quietly. Bai Wei could see the desire for life in the eyes of this messenger, and he understood that this was not a very principled person.
But the other party never bowed his head, no matter how much pain he was in or how much he struggled. It was as if he was restrained by some force that prevented him from "betraying" the contracted land, and he couldn't even nod his head.
Is this the power of the [Contract]?
But it should be more than this.
So Bai Wei cleared his throat, and then a completely different set of words came out of his mouth slowly, like an ancient spell.
"tell me."
Rules [governance].
Come on, Bai Wei looked at the messenger.
Let me see if you can still stick to the Contract even under the Domination.
After hearing these words, the messenger's expression immediately became ferocious, as if two repelling forces were fighting wildly in his body, like boiling water.
But soon, Bai Wei felt that the water had changed.
He realized something, so he immediately stepped forward and repeated the order in a low voice.
"tell me!"
…
"Master, the warden is waiting for you."
At the land of contract, the servant bowed respectfully towards Diana, as if he wanted to kiss the ground.
"Okay, I understand." Diana stroked her ring finger and nodded slightly.
If she remembered correctly, this was the fifth time the warden had summoned her this month.
Before this month, she had only met with the warden four times in total.
For thousands of years, the Land of Contract was like a pool of stagnant water. As long as the seal was intact, nothing could be done here. It was not until this month that everything started to change. Even the warden who had lived for who knows how many years began to move.
But that wasn't a bad thing, at least for Diana.
Diana tidied her appearance and was about to follow the servant to see the warden when her ring finger suddenly moved.
Her pupils narrowed slightly, and then she stopped calmly, asking the servant to wait for a moment.
Then she closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she was staring at a strange man in the alley.
The man spoke slowly, his words carrying a power that was familiar to her.
"tell me!"
Diana's eyes widened as she found her body beginning to become out of control. Under this supreme command, her throat, which was bound by the chains and in pain, was actually moving hard, like a worm trying desperately to break out of its cocoon.
She couldn't help but open her mouth and was about to answer.
But suddenly, a "ding" sound was heard, like a broken string.
Then everything returned to darkness.
Those words that made people want to surrender involuntarily and that impatient and ferocious face disappeared in an instant.
When Diana opened her eyes again, there was only the servant kneeling at her feet, not daring to move, as if the brief scene before was just an illusion.
But Diana knew that it was not an illusion, because the "string" just now was cut by herself.
She took the initiative to exile the contractor and terminated the contract.
Once the contract is interrupted, there is no way to reconnect it, and she has lost the contractor forever.
But there was no other way. Although the time was short, Diana knew that if she was any later, the contractor would actively violate the contract with her. By that time, she might not even have the ability to terminate the contract.
Diana's eyes narrowed little by little.
There is no doubt that the only thing that can make a rule invalid is another rule. Combined with the way the other party uses power, that rule is already very obvious.
[Control] of the tongue.
In other words, the man she saw through the eyes of the contractor just now was the "tongue" she saw in Taoyuan Township before.
Diana didn't expect that she would meet the other party in this way.
But why was he there?
Diana paced slowly while thinking.
The servant at her feet wanted to remind her that the warden was still waiting, but when he looked up, he saw Diana's frowning face and hurriedly lowered his head again.
According to the rules of the Ring Finger, servants must offer everything to their masters, including their lives and memories.
That is to say, as long as Diana is willing, she can not only make hundreds of servants die for her at any time, but also invade their minds and read their memories at will. So Diana already knew who the servant was before cutting off the contract, and also read part of his memory, saw the scene when the "tongue" forced "herself", and asked her questions, which is the location of the gathering.
But why does the “tongue” look for a place to gather?
Well... I don't seem to be very surprised. After all, this gathering is to hunt him down. Except for those people in Taoyuan Township, no one should know that "Hand Eye" and "Tongue" are two people, and they are two enemies.
So "Tongue" is being hunted by "Hands and Eyes" while looking for a gathering place... Does he want to use the power of the Eight Churches and the Land of Contract to get rid of "Hands and Eyes"?
It does seem possible. Judging from the previous experience in Taoyuan Township, the "tongue" was almost driven crazy by the "hands and eyes" and even proposed the stupid idea of giving up a piece of the body for everyone to share equally.
If that's the case... then what can I gain from this?
Diana paused and began to think seriously.
The first thing she thought of was whether the "tongue" also knew that it was she who was playing tricks?
But she quickly dismissed this idea. After all, the rules of the ring finger have always been top secret. Even in the "Book of Taboos", there is no record of the [Contract]. Therefore, unless it is Visas himself, outsiders cannot know what her rules are.
It seems that she is still in the dark, and the "tongue" is one-way transparent to her.
Thinking of this, Diana couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise." Diana said softly.
"Master?"
"Nothing." Diana shook her head. Although she wanted to start thinking about the plan immediately, the warden was still waiting for her. She couldn't waste too much time, so she said to the servant, "You didn't find me just now, so I was late, understand?"
The servant shuddered, but did not dare to refute. He just lowered his head and replied obediently: "Of course."
Diana said "hmm" and prepared to go see the warden first.
But before he had taken two steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked at the servant, and said, "The Xingyi delegation is in the black merchant's nameless town, right?"
"Yes, yes." The servant replied, "This is the arrangement of the warden. When we have completed the gathering place, Jeff will lead them in... Is there any problem, master?"
Diana didn't answer, but just frowned slightly.
The Star Legacy delegation is in Wuming Town, and the "Tongue" is also in Wuming Town. Could this be a coincidence?
No, it can't be a coincidence.
Could it be that there are also holders of corpse parts in the Star Relics delegation?
This was not a fantasy. It was impossible for one of the eight great churches to not have body parts. The only question was which body parts they had and whether the other party had come here.
But since the "tongue" has already found that place, does it mean that he already knows who the other person is?
Could it be those people in Taoyuan Township? If they started killing each other first, wouldn't it be troublesome for me to not know anything?
Diana narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then said to the servant, "Send a few more people to the border to keep a close eye on the Star Relics delegation."
The servant opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Diana walked away, leaving him with no choice but to bury his doubts in his heart and then lower his head again.
"As you command, my Lord."
…
Bai Wei looked at the mummy in front of him and didn't speak for a long time.
Bai Wei could feel that the messenger in front of him suddenly had an aura that did not belong to him at some point in the past, so Bai Wei used [Domination] in front of him again.
Then the breath stopped, and along with it the life of the messenger.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a healthy person turned into a mummy, as if he had been suddenly deprived of his life.
Is this the [Contract]?
Bai Wei already had a general idea.
It turns out that this is how the Land of Contract keeps secrets. It's really powerful.
Bai Wei fell into deep thought.
Just now, when he realized that the person he was facing was Miss Ring Finger, he immediately used [Domination] again, just to make sure that Miss Ring Finger could see and deduce his identity - "Tongue".
And from the fact that Miss Ring Finger quickly severed the contract, it can be seen that she has received the message.
In this way, he established contact with Miss Ring Finger, and he believed that this restless Miss Ring Finger would try every means to "hunt" him.
Bai Wei smiled: "I didn't expect there would be a pleasant surprise."
But before that, he took out a golden seed from the mummy in front of him. This was the totem of the land of contract.
Now, he is...oh, to be precise, Lyle, Lyle is the representative of the Land of Contract.
So, doesn't it depend on him to decide where the Star Legacy delegation wants to go next?
Bai Wei showed a satisfied smile, but the smile soon turned into confusion, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"What am I doing... huh?" Lyle was startled by the mummy in front of him. "What's going on? Mr. Visas?!"
"Don't worry." Bai Wei said lazily, "I've already taken care of it. All you have to do now is..."
Before he could finish his words, Lyle suddenly covered his throat and began to cough up blood violently.
In a moment, blood was all over the ground.
Lyle's face was filled with fear: "Mr. Visas, what happened to my body?! Did you do this, Mr. Visas?!"
Seeing this scene, Bai Wei couldn't help but let out a "tsk".
I actually forgot about this.
If an ordinary person uses [Domination] several times in a row, our life span will be cut in half, conservatively speaking.
