"The guy I fought tonight was a black marketeer named Lyle - the guy who pretended to be the envoy of the Land of Contract. His alias at the time was Rice." Isaiah said slowly, "He used the rule of the tongue on me. It is precisely because I personally experienced the feeling of being dominated that I know what is going on over there."
Mina naturally remembered Lyle: "It seems that he is the tongue itself, so did you kill him?"
"Of course," Isaiah said, "Sun also got his body parts."
Got a piece of tongue?
Mina was shocked.
Doesn't that mean that Teacher Isaiah already has four household blocks?
But the four body parts were not handed in. Is it a bit itchy?
Mina wanted to ask, but when she saw Isaiah spread out his palm and showed a broken middle finger in front of her, she was stunned.
How could it be the middle finger?
In just a few seconds, an indescribable feeling of panic rushed from the soles of Mina's feet to her brain, and her hair stood on end.
"Itchy, itchy———" Mina couldn't even utter a word.
"Only Itchy's one finger can confirm that Itchy is the real thing." Isaiah said lightly.
Looking at the fingers in front of her, Mina's breathing became unusually heavy. Countless doubts and panic surged into her heart, like a tangled thread that could not be cut or untangled.
"Hands, eyes, tongue——" She spoke with difficulty, "Is it a person?"
"You don't know." Isaiah's calm tone seemed to be filled with thousands of emotions. "There are too many unknowns. You can't be sure whether they are the same person or one of them has killed the other. The only thing that is certain is that the entire Taoyuan Township is him, or it is a scam they have woven."
Mina looked at Isaiah: "Even you can't see through it?"
"If I could see through it, I wouldn't be in this situation now." Isaiah said, "Have you ever thought about why he left the itchy finger for you?"
Mina followed Isaiah's guidance and thought for a moment, but after just a moment, her face turned pale.
"Itchy is a frame-up." Mina whispered, "This way, everyone will think that you killed Tongue and there are already three pieces of his body."
"Yes, tickling is his purpose."
"Then can you hand over the Itchy Finger?" Mina asked, "Tell the Land of Contract everything, and let the Land of Contract punish him?"
"Do you think the Land of Contract will believe you?" Isaiah asked. "Did anyone see that you only got one finger?"
Itch·—No one really saw it.
When they arrived at the scene, everything was over.
In other words, when Isaiah killed Lyle and picked up the Itchy Finger, he was already trapped.
Mina still didn't give up: "But the tongue doesn't have fingers, and you picked up fingers again after being influenced by the rules of the tongue."
Mina stopped talking halfway because she noticed a very important issue.
"It seems you have already thought of it." Isaiah said softly, "'Tongue and hand and eye are not one person' is the information in Taoyuan Township, not the information in the lake controlled by the land of contract."
"In the information that the Contract Land has, that is, the information provided by Rhine, there is no tongue or hand or eye. There is only one person, and his name is Uru."
"And why did the Land of Contract hold a meeting? Because Rhine believed that Uru had probably already taken control of four parts of the lake, including the fingers and tongue."
"That is to say, once it is confirmed that the person you killed was Uru, then in the eyes of the Land of Contract—" Isaiah looked at Mina and said word by word, "Now you have obtained the four body parts."
"Do you know what itchy means?"
