Chapter 322 I am also waiting for news
Doesn't make any sense?
After hearing this, Lyle stood there in a daze for a long time, until the messenger leading the way in front noticed something, looked back at him with a little confusion, and asked "Is there any problem?", then Lyle came to his senses belatedly.
"No, nothing." Lyle quickly followed, "Just a little curious."
The messenger was not a fool. Seeing Lyle asking questions about the partitioned area again and again, and even knowing about those abandoned villages, he naturally sensed that something was wrong. However, he did not ask immediately. He just looked at Lyle meaningfully.
Lyle could naturally feel that the messenger was already suspicious of him, and he became even more panicked, but he was not afraid of the messenger, but of Lord Visas in his body.
Even the envoy noticed something unusual about his uncontrolled series of self-destructive questions, let alone Lord Visas?
Thinking of this, Lyle immediately knelt down to Bai Wei in his heart: "Lord Visas, I am actually..."
"If you want to tell me that I also come from a no-man's land, then there's no need to tell me." Bai Wei said leisurely, "I have never been interested in a person's past. I care more about the future. Do you understand?"
Lei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Lord Visas, I will definitely be your most loyal pawn!"
As expected of Lord Visas, he has such a broad mind. Even Lyle couldn't help but think, "Even if Lord Visas asked me to die now, I would not say a word."
Of course, this thought only lasted for a brief moment.
The two continued walking forward, and soon, the people in the village also discovered the two outsiders and immediately came to greet them with fear and trepidation.
The leader was an old man, so thin that he looked like a walking skeleton, and the relatively young people following him were not much better. At first glance, it even seemed that the male and female breeders in the Holy Sound Seed Area were well-off compared to them.
"Oh, angel!" The old man bowed respectfully to the messenger in front of him, "I didn't know you would come today, I, we..."
The messenger said "hmm" lightly, and then walked straight past the old man without even explaining. This made the villagers even more frightened, and they didn't know if they had done anything wrong to anger these angels.
Lyle also glanced at the villagers, then quickly followed them, and at the same time continued to ask the messenger questions according to Bai Wei's request: "Why do they call you an angel?"
"Because in their eyes, we are from heaven." The messenger pointed to the top of his head and said lightly, "The people here will not leave the partition area, or even leave their village. They don't know the outside world, nor do they know the eight major churches. So all outsiders, in their eyes, are from heaven, and they naturally call us angels."
"Wouldn't they want to leave?" Lyle asked (still asking Bai Wei's question), "Wouldn't they want to see the outside world?"
"Of course not." The messenger said calmly, "No one here would think of leaving."
Lyle opened his mouth but said nothing more.
Bai Wei, who was listening, had already understood most of it, but it was still an imprint in his mind.
In this world, it is almost a basic logic that gods can influence the thinking of mortals, such as Rhine's change of sexual orientation, the order of the Lyra Seal, and the musical notes of the Holy Music Man. These are all examples. And here, it should be the restriction of one's own behavior.
The world outside is dangerous, and the right thing to do is to stay where you are and never leave.
From this point of view, although there are no clear gods in the Land of Contract, it still has mind imprinting technology that is no less than those churches with gods. It is no wonder that they have weapons like "Obedience of Heaven's Voice". Because "Obedience of Heaven's Voice" is essentially based on thinking cognition, there is an underlying requirement for the target of "Obedience of Heaven's Voice" to exert its effect, that is, they must be believers of God.
As long as one believes in gods or uses the power of gods, no matter who they are, they will be branded with a mental imprint. The only difference is that different gods will have different mental imprints.
In other words, only those who do not believe in gods and do not rely on the power of gods are not affected by the thought imprint.
It’s a pity that there is no such person in this world, and even in an uninhabited area where there is no clear god, one cannot escape.
While Bai Wei was thinking, Lyle asked the messenger again: "Why were those forgotten villages you mentioned earlier forgotten? Aren't they the subjects of your contracted land?"
"I said that because the partition is too large," the messenger said calmly, "we won't be watching it all the time. After all, the partition has existed for a thousand years."
"Then you have never thought about getting them back?"
"Why do you want to do this?"
Lyle was speechless again.
Before Lyle asked the next question, the messenger seemed to have run out of patience. He looked into Lyle's eyes and spoke slowly, "Well, there are no outsiders here anymore. You don't have to worry about the news leaking out or having ears. So I won't beat around the bush. Mr. Rice, you... are the 'tongue', right?"
……Tongue?
Lyle blinked, not understanding what the messenger meant. What did he mean by "tongue"?
"It seems that you are not, or you are still unwilling to admit it." Lyle's expression fell into the eyes of the messenger, and he said lightly, "But it doesn't matter. You should be able to contact Mr. Tongue. My master asked me to bring a message to Mr. Tongue."
At this point, Lyle naturally understood that the "tongue" the messenger was referring to was most likely Lord Visas.
At this moment, Bai Wei also spoke up: "Let him speak."
Lyle nodded: "You go ahead."
"Let's make a deal." The messenger repeated the words of the "master" expressionlessly, "I want a body part, whether it's the tongue, the ears or the teeth, you can choose."
Lyle pursed his lips and continued to follow Bai Wei's instructions, "How do you know Mr. Tongue has those three body parts? Who are you in Taoyuan Township?"
Hearing this, the messenger smiled and said, "Even Taoyuan Township knows about it. It seems that you are indeed Mr. Tongue's confidant. Then you can tell Mr. Tongue what I said directly. I really like his free and easy attitude during the last meeting. There is no need to test him or talk nonsense. We are trading for profit, right? In this case, why don't we just focus on the transaction itself?"
Lyle pretended to think for a moment, then slowly said, "Then what can you give me?"
"It's very simple." The messenger said calmly, "I can help you stop 'Obedience of Heaven'."
The purpose was finally revealed.
Lyle said, "Mr. Tongue doesn't need to stop that thing. He is not the one wanted by the eight major churches."
"You mean the wanted man is the Hand and the Eye, that is, Uru of Rhine, right?" The messenger smiled slightly. Lyle didn't know why. The man in front of him was clearly a grown man, but his smile had a strange sense of charm. "But what if I say that I have the ability to change the target of 'Obedience of Heaven' from Mr. Uru to you?"
Although Lyle hadn't quite figured out the situation yet, he could understand the meaning of the messenger's words.
Lyle narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you threatening me... Mr. Tongue?"
"I don't mind you seeing it as a threat." The messenger said leisurely, "But you can also have a more positive view, right? If I don't intervene, 'Obedience of Heaven' will operate normally, and it will be your mortal enemy Ulu who will be wiped out. Isn't this a great help to you? Didn't you hope to offer a body part in exchange for Ulu's head in Taoyuan Township? What's the difference between that and our current transaction?"
"That's not fair," Lyle said. "I don't even know who you are, either your real identity or your counterpart in Taoyuan Township."
"But I know who you are." The messenger said with a smile, "Mr. Caesar, or... Miss Helvinia?"
...Who are these two people?
You just said that you already knew Mr. Tongue’s identity, why are you bringing up a woman now?
Lai immediately felt that the other party's intelligence ability seemed not very good, but he did not dare to say it directly. He just followed Bai Wei's instructions and continued to "ponder" for a while before saying: "I can't decide for Mr. Tongue."
"Of course, we still have time before the obedience of the Heavenly Voice is completed." The messenger continued to smile, "But the time will not be too much. I hope you can let Mr. Tongue make a decision as soon as possible. If you delay it until the obedience of the Heavenly Voice is activated, I will have no choice."
Lyle pursed his lips: "So how should I contact you after I decide?"
"I will stay here." The messenger pointed to himself. "This is the village farthest from the partition area. I have taken you around here once. I don't think you have forgotten the way."
"Just come back to find you?"
"Yes, just come to me." The messenger nodded, "I will bring the news to the master as soon as possible. Of course, you can only come to me, not to other people in the Contract Land. If you meet other people in the Contract Land in the no-man's land, it is best to find a way to get through. Because this is a transaction between us, not a transaction between you and the Contract Land, understand?"
My goodness, this is also a traitor.
"I understand." Lyle also nodded, "I will tell Lord Tongue everything and let him think it over carefully."
"Then I will wait for your good news here."
The messenger smiled again, and after saying this, Lyle clearly felt that the charm on this guy's face disappeared, and it returned to that expressionless poker face again.
...What is going on?
The messenger raised his hand and pointed to the exit: "Please go quickly and come back soon."
"Don't you have to go back and report to your master?" Lyle asked.
"No need." The messenger replied calmly, "I can just wait for news here."
Lyle said "Oh" with a strange expression.
The messenger frowned slightly: "Why don't you leave?"
"Because I am waiting for news here too."
messenger:"?"
…
Bai Wei withdrew his consciousness from Lyle again and began to meditate.
To be honest, Bai Wei was still a little surprised that Wu Mingzhi would use Tian Sheng's obedience as a bargaining chip to threaten him to make a deal.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, Bai Wei couldn't help but sigh that this guy had such great ambitions.
Previously, Bai Wei deliberately transferred the rules of his left eye to his ring finger in order to obtain the coordinates and vision of the contracted land. However, due to the various seals, the information he received was intermittent, and he had no way to communicate directly with the ring finger, nor could he hear the voice from the other side. That was why Bai Wei was quite surprised by the ring finger's operation this time.
There are so many crazy women in this world. If Bai Wei is really a local, it is possible that he would be tricked by this guy.
However, Bai Wei was not surprised that Wu Mingzhi knew the names Caesar and Hevinia. This must have been passed on by Shengyin.
Bai Wei's fingers tapped lightly on the table.
So now everything is clear. Except for Rocky who is just a supporting role, the cards and demands of each party have been clearly revealed.
Then Bai Wei will have to take charge next.
The ring finger, the right eye, and the voice of heaven hanging above the head obey.
The next thing to do is to connect all of this together, and this requires a performance.
A gorgeous and grand performance.
Bai Wei dipped his index finger in the tea and wrote Lyle's name on the table.
…
On the other side, the small town of Deira.
After half a day's march, Rhine and Eternal Nightmare's team finally arrived here.
"Where is your special forces?" Rocky looked at Fenris beside him, "Did they succeed?"
Using the excuse of strangling the forbidden scholar, Rocky successfully led the team out of the no-man's land.
Next, he just needs to find an excuse to bring the team to the Nameless Town. This will have much less resistance than going directly from the no-man's land to the Nameless Town.
But the prerequisite is that the work here must be completed first, so Loki sincerely hopes that the special force of "nightmare servants" mentioned by Fenris has already taken care of the people.
But to Rocky's disappointment, Fenris shook his head: "No, our connection with the Nightmare Servant was cut off half a day ago."
"What does that mean?"
"It's very likely that they have been wiped out." Fenris said calmly.
...Shit, this is rubbish.
Rocky couldn't help cursing in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just asked, "What should we do next? Can we still find that guy?"
"Yes, I can sense that he is still here." Fenris said, "We will use the dream to track him down, and then I will ask you to take action."
Rocky nodded impatiently.
Damn it, I really don't want to get involved in their shit. But there's nothing I can do, I have to kill that guy as soon as possible... huh?
He turned his head suddenly and looked behind him.
"What's wrong?" Fenris asked.
Rocky narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while he shook his head: "No, nothing."
Not far away, a red-haired girl quietly waited for Rocky's back to disappear from her sight, then turned and left.
