Chapter 41 You Shouldn't Have the Courage to Come Back
“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough…”
In the narrow carriage, a passenger wrapped in a black robe had been coughing non-stop since he got on the train. He even coughed up blood several times, which made people wonder if he was infected with some disease, and they subconsciously stayed away from him.
Only one little girl came over and carefully handed over a handkerchief: "Uncle, are you feeling unwell? I have..."
Before the little girl could finish her words, the passenger in black robe growled, "Why are you pretending?", which scared the little girl so much that she almost dropped her handkerchief.
The man in black robe raised his head belatedly, looked at the pale little girl, and shook his head subconsciously as if he understood something: "Sorry, I'm not talking to you."
Not talking to you?
Who are you talking to then?
The passengers in the car suddenly felt that the man in black robe was not only in poor health, but also his brain did not seem to be working very well.
Wulu didn't know how to explain it, because when the little girl was talking to him, Bai Wei in his mind was also asking about his situation, which made him not know which one to reply to for a while, so he replied to the little girl instead of Bai Wei. After replying the wrong way, Wulu seemed to hear a playful laugh deep in his heart, but he didn't know if it was his illusion.
"Sorry, no thanks." Ulu said to the little girl, "I just need to rest more."
After rejecting the little girl, Ulu heard Bai Wei's voice again: "You are too tense mentally and physically, you should relax."
Ulu thought coldly: "Isn't my body caused by you alone?"
"Yes." Bai Wei responded calmly, "If it weren't for me, you would be lying in the dirt now, and you wouldn't have to worry about whether your health would deteriorate."
Uru was speechless, not knowing how to refute. After a while of silence, he spoke again: "Visas, will you really fulfill our deal?"
"Tsk, your mentality has changed after all." Bai Wei did not answer the question immediately, but said slowly, "You used to call me Lord Visas, but now you call me by my name?"
"Why should I continue to use honorifics to a dangerous creature that wants to kill me?" Ulu said coldly.
“Ha, that’s true.” Ulu saw his left middle finger shrug with the index and ring fingers again, which made the corners of his mouth twitch slightly. “But it doesn’t matter. I have never cared much about red tape, at least not as much as your God. Next time you encounter something, just pray to your God. He will come to save you.”
Ulu was speechless again.
It has to be admitted that in terms of eloquence, the gap between Ulu and Bai Wei may not be less than the gap between their strengths.
"It's really boring to argue with you. You just stopped talking while arguing." Bai Wei continued to shrug, "Then let's get down to business. You asked me before whether I would fulfill the deal between us... Aren't you just talking nonsense? I proposed this deal. Would I go against it?"
"Who knows?"
"Haha, don't underestimate me. If I really want to use fraud one day, the target of fraud should be the gods, not you." Bai Wei said, "In fact, I don't think the gods have the qualifications, at least for one god...no."
Only the gods are worthy of being deceived. This sentence sounds a bit arrogant, but when he thinks that the person who said this is Visas, even Uru doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
Although if you think about it carefully, Bai Wei did not lie to him about anything during the time he possessed his body.
This is the most terrifying thing. He never told a lie, but he still made Ulu give up half of his body. He is simply a master at manipulating people's hearts.
So Ulu had to confirm with Bai Wei again. He said in a deep voice: "It is agreed that I will take you to Som City and ask you to find the whereabouts of your next body part. You must..."
"I'll tell you the cause of your mother's death." Bai Wei said calmly, "Don't worry."
"Don't tell me, let me see it with my own eyes." Ulu said, "Although you said you don't care about fraud, I still don't believe anything you say. I must...see it with my own eyes."
“That, of course, is part of the deal.”
Ulu didn't know whether he would regret making a deal with Bai Wei again. When Bai Wei proposed the deal before, there seemed to be a voice in his subconscious mind reminding him to stay away from this deal, as this deal would lead him into an abyss of no return.
…But he found that he had no way to refuse.
In his memory, his mother died of hunger and disease, and it should have nothing to do with other people. But Bai Wei obviously didn't think so, he said he knew the truth.
And Uru was attracted by this so-called truth and once again embarked on this road from which there might be no turning back.
"Also," Uru said, "You can't deliberately lead me to a dangerous place and force me to use your power to fight... If this happens again, I would rather be killed by the people of Rhine than hand you over."
"Haha, it seems that you have thought a lot these past two days and gained a lot of experience." Bai Wei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't force you to use my power this time. Moreover, I will let you see more things with your own eyes. These things can be regarded as gifts."
Wu Lu didn't care what the gift Bai Wei mentioned was. He now knew clearly that if he wanted to get something, he would have to pay a price: "After the transaction is completed..."
"Cut me off, and I won't stop you." Bai Wei said with a half-smile, "If you really decide to do that at that time."
Ulu ignored Bai Wei's words. He now understood that when facing Bai Wei, he must stick to his original intention and not pursue things that seem more tempting. Only then can he survive.
Nothing is more important than surviving.
Uru thought.
Then he fell into a deep sleep. He was so tired these days that even the swaying carriage could not relieve his sleepiness.
He fell asleep, but it was not a restful sleep. He had many dreams about many things.
For example...mother.
He hadn't dreamed of his mother for twenty years, and he almost forgot what she looked like.
When he was pushed awake from his trance, he saw a Rhine knight in armor standing in front of him.
Ulu was stunned for a moment, then immediately woke up. When he realized that he was not dreaming, cold sweat instantly broke out.
But the knight just looked at him without saying anything. He walked around the carriage, said "no contraband found" and jumped off the carriage.
And Ulu was still sitting there in a daze, obviously not realizing what was happening.
Bai Wei's voice sounded at the right time: "It seems that the bishop did not publish your portrait to arrest you."
Ulu subconsciously asked: "Why?"
"Because then everyone will know who took Visas' body parts and what he looked like." Bai Wei said with a smile, "They would rather you run around outside than let other churches know your information."
Only then did Ulu realize that the car had stopped and it was just a routine inspection.
In other words…
He quickly opened the car window and looked out.
The majestic city of Som stood before him.
"But even the knights of Som City couldn't recognize you. Do you know why?"
Ulu was silent for a while, then said, "Because they didn't expect me to dare to come back."
"Yes." Bai Wei said slowly, "Because the bishop obviously felt that... a bug shouldn't have the courage to come back."
Ulu didn't say anything. He just looked at the city that he had longed for countless times, then silently closed the car window and closed his eyes.
