Chapter 46 This Eye Begins to Bite
After leaving the chapel, Uru's mind was in a mess.
He didn't know what to do or where to go. He walked numbly in the bustling city of Som, as if he had lost his soul, and just kept moving forward.
It seems like he wants to escape, but it also seems like he wants to go somewhere.
He didn't know how long he had been walking until it got dark. Bai Wei's lazy voice rang in his mind: "Although I really don't want to disturb your interest at this time, if you are going to walk into a trap, I think I still have to stop you."
Ulu was stunned. Unconsciously, he felt that the road under his feet was somewhat familiar. Suddenly, there were many people wearing priest uniforms around him. This made him realize something and he immediately raised his head.
The Westminster Cathedral, which symbolizes the Holy Rhine, stood before him like a silent giant, staring at him with cold eyes.
How did you get to this place?
Ulu came to his senses immediately, and looking at the clergy coming and going around him, he subconsciously wanted to lower the brim of his hat.
Bai Wei's voice sounded at the right time: "Don't you think it's suspicious that you are dressed like a black marketeer in this place? It's like you are shouting 'All eyes on me'."
Only then did Ulu abruptly stop what he was doing.
Indeed, if he does nothing now, others will not think there is anything wrong with him. After all, outside the church, besides the clergy, there are more believers coming and going. If he does not do anything out of the ordinary, no one will notice him. If he deliberately covers up, it will have the opposite effect.
But even so, Uru couldn't relax. After all, he was now a wanted criminal in Rhine. Although it was not made public, Bishop Corey, who wanted to catch him the most, was in the West Cathedral.
Once someone recognizes him...
This thought just popped up in his mind and disappeared in an instant, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Who would recognize him?
The last time he came to this place was the last assessment ten years ago. He never came here again in the following ten years. The only person who had contact with the West Cathedral was Kelsey, who had been split in two by him... oh no, to be more precise, by Visas. So that he was standing here so proudly, and the clergy passing by didn't even look at him.
Just like the solemn statue of the Rhine God on the cathedral, He looks at everyone equally and pays no attention to anyone.
"Are you still missing the life you never had?" Bai Wei's voice sounded again, still lazy, without a trace of nervousness, as if the priests coming and going were not something he could take seriously.
In this case, Ulu was unwilling to admit defeat. He took a deep breath, adjusted his state a little, and replied coldly: "I just want to familiarize myself with the road first."
"Familiar with the road?"
"If our deal fails, how can I get you here in the shortest possible time?" Ulu said, "This should be your way home."
Wulu originally thought that such "disrespectful" words would make Bai Wei angry, and he was prepared to face Bai Wei's anger, but he didn't expect that Bai Wei still didn't care. He just smiled and said: "Ah, if there really comes a day like that, I hope you can really run faster, but I will definitely hold you back... I mean physically."
This answer made Wu Lu's eyelids twitch. He realized that he was no match for Bai Wei in terms of talking, so he changed the subject abruptly: "Is this what you want me to see today?"
"Um?"
"The content of the deal is clearly the truth about my mother's death." Wu Lu said coldly, "You are doing something other than a deal. Is this what you call sincerity?"
Bai Wei smiled and said, "How do you know that what I showed you is not the truth?"
Ulu paused for a moment: "...What do you mean?"
"You said you wouldn't believe what I said and you had to see it with your own eyes." Bai Wei said, "So, I'm letting you see it, but whether you can discover it or not is up to you."
"You mean I've seen the murderer today?"
"Yes and no."
"...What do you mean?" Ulu suppressed the anger in his heart, "Are you taking me for an idiot?!"
"The murderer has appeared." Bai Wei calmly interrupted Wu Lu's words, "Very conspicuous."
Already appeared?!
Ulu's heart trembled, and then he subconsciously looked around, trying to find the "obvious murderer" that Bai Wei mentioned.
Then, he saw an old man in luxurious clothes, surrounded by countless priests, walking slowly towards him, and his pupils suddenly froze.
He knows this person.
High Priest Heri.
Ten years ago, it was he who presided over the assessment and personally issued Ulu an "unqualified" certificate.
He is the murderer of his mother? !
Ulu was filled with shock and confusion, but he didn't have time to think too much at this moment. If there was anyone in the West Cathedral who knew him, then High Priest Heri was one of them. So Ulu, who was afraid of being recognized, didn't have time to think too much. Before Heri noticed this, he immediately turned around and left.
High Priest Heri was smiling at the people who were saluting him. He was enjoying the process very much, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the only figure who was leaving with his back to him.
He felt a little confused, but did not care too much. After saying "May the Rhine bless you" to all the believers who saluted him, he entered the West Cathedral.
…
After entering the West Cathedral, Hurry went directly to the bishop's room. After knocking gently on the bishop's door and getting a promise, he pushed the door open respectfully and walked in.
"Good afternoon, Bishop Corey."
Corey, who was resting with his eyes closed, leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly: "Well...how are things going?"
"The representative team of the Lyra Cult has entered the city and settled down." He Li bowed slightly and replied, "Everything will be done according to the regulations, but other than that..."
"Um?"
"Tianqin hopes that we can help them get rid of a person, and they are willing to pay for it."
"Oh?" Corey slowly opened his eyes and looked at Hurry. "Very interesting. Who is he?"
The moment Corey "saw" him, Hurry felt his body tremble and his soul shake.
But fortunately, he was used to such sights, and quickly handed over a document: "This is the list sent by Tianqin, please take a look."
Corey took the file, opened it, glanced at it, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Interesting, it's actually..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a pain in his left eye as if it was being pricked by a needle.
Before he realized what was happening, he heard Herri's horrified voice: "Bishop Corey, your left eye... is bleeding!"
Corey was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out and touched it, and sure enough, he felt a large pool of blood.
Then he felt the crazy throbbing of his left eye. This eye, which had been silent for who knows how many years, seemed to suddenly come alive and tried desperately to leave this body.
What is...going on?
After a brief moment of daze, Corey stood up abruptly, walked quickly to the office window and looked out.
People were coming and going outside the cathedral, and there was nothing unusual.
But Corey knew something was coming.
Because this eye,
Started biting.
I don’t know what happened. I was ranked 12th on the new book list in the early morning of this morning. I was secretly happy at that time, thinking that I was lucky enough to reach 12th while everyone was unstable during the weekly list update. I could have a lot of collections. I just hoped to stay in this position for a few more hours. But when I woke up, I was ranked 5th. The top four were three platinum and one great god... I was stunned. Do I really deserve to be here? (I hope I can stay in this position for a while)
So now I am really excited and stressed. I am excited because so many people like this book and the response is good. The pressure is that I am more afraid of writing this book badly. I am so nervous that my hands are shaking.
Ah, I've said a lot of nonsense. Anyway, thank you for your likes. I will work hard~
