Chapter 39 New Deal
Bai Wei had anticipated Uru's reaction.
After all, Ulu is not really a fool. Every time after using Bai Wei's power, his body would deteriorate significantly. Especially this time, Bai Wei descended for the longest time and used the rule of the middle finger at the same time, directly hollowing out Ulu's already poor body, making even the blood he vomited black.
If he still doesn't realize this, then Bai Wei should wonder if the guy he's possessed is a fool.
Uru's reaction after guessing the truth was also within Bai Wei's expectations - once Uru knew that Visas' power would devour life, he would definitely cut off his fingers at all costs, just like now.
But Bai Wei would not give him this opportunity.
When his left hand grabbed his neck and pressed him against the wall, Ulu felt terrified and desperate. And it was not just his left hand, he felt that half of his body was out of his control.
This feeling was really terrifying, especially when Bai Wei said, "Who do you think you are talking to?" It was only then that Wu Lu came to his senses and realized what kind of existence he was dealing with. In the past few days, he had been getting along with Bai Wei, talking to him, and even sharing his heart with him, and he had almost forgotten Bai Wei's identity.
Visas.
The oldest and most dangerous being in the world, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods, with both soul and body immortal - the God Slayer.
Wulu had actually forgotten Bai Wei's identity for a long time. It was not until now, when the left hand that locked his neck and the terrifying words made him remember it again. Before this, Bai Wei had always hidden it well, just like a tiger putting away its fangs and disguising itself as a cat.
But now, he doesn't pretend anymore.
"You..." Ulu said through gritted teeth, "You have been lying to me all along."
"Lie to you?" Bai Wei asked, "What did I lie to you about?"
"...You said you wanted to see me, to see what I have accomplished."
"There's no need to beautify yourself." Bai Wei said calmly, "My original words were, you are a disgusting maggot. I want to see if a maggot like you has a pole to climb up, will it become a maggot that disgusts the world. I didn't lie to you, didn't the Knight Commander who was killed by you and me look like he had eaten three pounds of maggots before he died?"
Wu Lu couldn't laugh at Bai Wei's joke, which he didn't know whether to call a joke or not. He gasped heavily and said, "You, you, you wanted to kill me from the beginning."
"No, Ulu." Bai Wei said, "From the moment you got my finger, your life is no longer in your hands."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Think about it, if I hadn't found you in the beginning, what would have happened?" Bai Wei said calmly, "Wouldn't the Knight Commander have shown up? No, no, no, he came here just to find my finger. If it weren't for me, you would have been found by the Knight Commander in the beginning. Do you think that when the Knight Commander found my finger on you, he would have said to you calmly, 'Hey, old buddy, can you please give me this finger'?"
Ulu was suddenly speechless.
"It seems that you can figure this out." Seeing that Ulu had no intention of chopping him off for the time being, Bai Wei slowly loosened Ulu's neck, and then moved his left hand in front of Ulu's eyes, curled up four fingers, and then stood up with the middle finger "looking" at Ulu, "Let me tell you, if it weren't for me, you would have died two days ago. The Knight Commander would not give you any chance to explain. After all, the propaganda of the major churches is that my body parts have polluting power, and if they are touched, they will be polluted by me. So why should he listen to the explanation of someone who has been polluted?"
Bai Wei was not making this up, this was Ulu's fate in the original plot.
A fleeting little person who died in vain.
And Ulu obviously understood this, and his face gradually turned pale.
"So, Ulu." Bai Wei said word by word, "I didn't take your life, I saved you. If it weren't for me, you would have died two days ago. The murderer was not Kelsey, but... yourself. When you bought my finger from that black market merchant, you had already sentenced yourself to death, understand?"
This bloody truth instantly drained Ulu's already limited energy and spirit. He collapsed against the wall with a dead look in his eyes.
It was unknown how long it took before his body began to tremble again.
"It's all the same, you're all the same!" He was a little hysterical, "You and those guys are all the same! You all want to kill me!"
"That's still different. They don't want your life, they just want to turn you into a bug. But I'm different. I can turn you from a bug back into a human, but the price is your life."
Ulu was speechless again.
"People seek revenge, but dogs only bow their heads." Bai Wei said coldly, "You should have died like a dog or a worm, but I turned you back into a human, and you are still alive today. You should be grateful to me, not resentful. Do you understand?"
Bai Wei's words were harsh, and Ulu subconsciously wanted to refute them, but he couldn't find a reason to refute them for a moment.
He knew that what Bai Wei said was right. Kelsey was still calling him a bug at the last moment. And the moment he killed Kelsey was the happiest thing that had ever happened to him in the past twenty years.
But would you lose your life because of this?
Wu Lu was naturally unwilling to do so. His mind was spinning rapidly, and a vague idea gradually came to his mind. But before the idea could take shape, Bai Wei spoke again: "You are thinking that now that revenge is over, you can just chop me off and throw me away, and then live in anonymity... Although the risk is great, it is better than being 100% sure of death, right?"
Wu Lu shuddered subconsciously when his thoughts were exposed, but he still raised his head and stared at Bai Wei: "Will you stop me?"
"Although I do have the ability to stop you, there's no need. If you're determined to leave, I can't do anything else with only half of your body under my control." Bai Wei raised his index and ring fingers in a very humane way, making it look like his middle finger was shrugging. "Instead of standing there stiffly, why not make a deal?"
"trade?"
"Yes." Bai Wei nodded, "Take me to Som City."
Ulu's eyes widened instantly: "Do you think I'm a fool? That's... Bishop Corey's territory! I'd die if I went there!"
"High risk, high reward."
"What kind of reward can you give..."
"Don't you want to know why your mother died?"
Ulu was stunned.
"How is it?" Bai Wei smiled slightly, "This is... a new deal."
