Chapter 47 This Eye is Safe with Me
Hurry was startled by Bishop Corey's sudden action. In his impression, Corey rarely lost his composure like this. This was related to his originally calm character and also to that eye. After getting that eye, Corey seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, and nothing could block his vision.
But today, there was a problem with the eye. He Li clearly saw that the forbidden eye suddenly seemed to come alive, trying desperately to get out of Bishop Corey's sunken eye socket, so that blood seemed to be flowing out of the corners of Bishop Corey's eyes.
This was obviously no small matter, as could be seen from the fact that Bishop Corey stood by the window for a full ten minutes without saying a word.
Finally, he lost his temper and said, "Corey, that eye..."
"It's a little restless." Corey interrupted Heri's unspoken question lightly, "It's biting me."
At this moment, Corey had used the power of the Rhine to calm the eye, and it fell "asleep" again. When Harry looked over, all he saw was a pupil with a little bloodshot, but the rest of the pupil was no different from a normal eye. It was hard to believe that it had just come back to life like that, and as Corey said, it bit its owner hard.
"What's going on?" He Li asked again, "It shouldn't have been a problem for a long time, right?"
"To be precise, there has been no problem since it came into my hands." Corey replied calmly, "It has been so long that I almost thought it was my eye."
"Then why did it suddenly react?"
Corey was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Maybe, he sensed the breath of his own kind."
He Li's eyes widened little by little: "Same kind?"
"The Taboo Book states that there is a special attraction between the corpses of Visas." Corey turned to face Heri, "They can sense each other's presence and even... try to get close to each other."
Hurry didn't know about this. After listening to Corey's description, he subconsciously took a breath and said, "This sounds like..."
"The scattered pieces of the body want to come together again, to make the body that was decomposed by the gods complete," Corey said, "as if this could bring back the annihilated soul."
"...Will he come back?"
"His soul is no longer in this world, that's for sure, and the connection between those body parts is probably more like a lizard's tail twitching for a while after it's cut off," Corey said. "Visus won't come back, but that doesn't mean someone doesn't want to get more of his body, so this feature will be used by some people with ulterior motives."
He Li's expression gradually became serious: "You mean, there was a corpse holder very close to you just now?"
"All I can say is, at least it's not far away," Corey replied calmly, "and it's almost certain that it's coming for me."
“…Is it the guy named Uru?”
"Uru?" Corey thought for a moment and shook his head. "Not necessarily. There are more than one body parts scattered around in this world. Although the one in his hand is the most recent one, I don't think he dares to come here to find me. Of course, I can't rule out this possibility. Of course, the more likely possibility is..."
"You mean, Lyra?"
Corey neither admitted nor denied: "I can only say that both are possible. After all..."
He smiled.
"This eye is not a secret to me."
He Li asked: "Should we ask the Paladins to search the entire city?"
"No, let's not talk about whether we can find it first..." Corey said, "This is a sensitive period, and our friends are still in the city."
This is indeed a troublesome matter. He Li hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Should we report this to His Holiness the Pope? After all, according to the regulations..."
"In Som City, I am the rule." Corey interrupted Heri again. He looked directly at Heri, and that eye almost made Heri kneel down. "This eye is with me...it's safe."
It was absolutely against the rules not to report the information of another body part, but at this moment, Harry didn't dare to speak at all. The tremendous pressure almost broke his spine.
Finally, Corey looked away, and Hurry breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was alive again.
"Anything else?" Corey asked calmly.
He Li wiped the sweat off his face without leaving a trace, and gave up the idea of reporting to the Pope. He reported honestly: "It's about your 'cleaning' work. At present, 10,000 'bugs' have been spread. If nothing unexpected happens, 80% of the cleaning work can be completed in less than a month."
Corey nodded: "I understand. I will do it myself on that day..."
He paused, then turned his head and looked at the gradually darkening sky.
"Clean up the dirt in this city."
…
After returning to the hotel, Ulu saw that the front desk was dark and even the lights were not on. He frowned slightly and remembered that the landlady seemed to have mentioned that she and Leah were going to the church to see a doctor.
This meant that he was the only one in the hotel now.
So Ulu couldn't help it, he raised his left hand and stared at his middle finger: "What did you mean by that?"
"Um?"
"Who is the murderer who killed my mother?"
"I remember telling you before." Bai Wei's tone was still lazy.
"You mean it's High Priest Heri? How is that possible!" Ulu couldn't help but raise his voice, saying with a little anger, "High Priest Heri has never been to Petain Town, he has never known my mother..."
With a click.
Before he could finish his words, the door of a room opened, and Leah and the landlady came out holding candlesticks. They looked in surprise at Uru, who was standing in the dark and talking to his left middle finger.
"Sir, you are..."
Ulu was silent for a while and said, "I'm angry."
"Ah?" Leah asked tactlessly, "Are you angry with your fingers?"
"...Just now, an idiot didn't look at the road and bumped my finger, making it swollen." Ulu said expressionlessly, "That's why I'm angry."
Perhaps he felt that this excuse was too lame, so Ulu couldn't even say it, so after hesitating for a while, he pretended that he hadn't recovered from his anger and planned to go back to his room with a blank expression. In order to show that his finger was really hit, he kept his left hand raised and his middle finger raised as he walked forward, which looked a bit weird.
Leah wanted to ask something, but the proprietress patted her head gently and whispered, "Be polite."
Leah shut up obediently.
As he walked past the two of them, Ulu subconsciously glanced at the proprietress.
He didn't know if it was because the hotel was too dim, but he felt that the proprietress's face was paler than in the daytime.
He subconsciously wanted to ask something, but then he felt that it would be stupid to do so, so he gave up asking and walked away.
But what no one noticed was that the upright middle finger was quietly looking at the back of the proprietress.
A black worm was looming.
