Chapter 53 And I Want Your Life
Corey came to the top rooftop of the library.
The West Library is the second tallest building in the city of Somme, second only to the West Cathedral. Standing here, you can see half of the city of Somme.
Corey himself also likes to stand on high places and look into the distance, just like the Rhine statue standing at the highest point in the city of Somme. He feels that he is in control of the world and that he is the Rhine.
Especially after getting this special eye, Corey can see even farther.
The whole world is in his eyes.
But now, he obviously did not come here to climb up and see the distance.
After dismissing everyone around him, Corey stood alone on the top floor, feeling the wind blowing from afar, and squinted his eyes slightly.
"I don't know why you dare to come back..." Corey murmured softly, "but now that you are here, don't leave."
Then, he slowly closed his left eye, and at the same time recalled the scene he had just retrieved from the memories of the two young priests. Uru's face gradually enlarged in his mind, and a powerful force surged around him.
The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, and those star-like eyes immediately started to move, and the sealed ancient power was used by him at this moment.
As a result, everyone in the entire city of Som who had a little affinity with magic felt a chill down their spine, subconsciously raised their heads, and stared blankly at the pure blue sky.
…
"What's wrong?"
"It feels... a little strange."
"strangeness?"
"Yes, it's like someone is suddenly watching me."
"Are you kidding me? Who would stare at you for no reason?"
"I don't know. I just feel a little creepy, like..."
"Like what?"
“It was as if there was an eye in the sky watching me.”
…
Neither this nor that.
Corey's left eye was like a printer. Face after face appeared in this pupil, then quickly disappeared and switched to the next one.
He was quickly screening the extraordinary people in the city, just like Rhine was watching His believers in the world.
This is why after getting this eye, Corey felt like he was the Rhine of Som City. As long as he wanted, he could use this eye to control every extraordinary person in the city. The city really fell into his eye, and no one could resist him under this gaze.
Even someone who was originally stronger than him could not avoid this gaze.
Because this is not magic, not even divine magic.
These are the rules.
This is the rule of "you must be seen by me", and no one and no force can break this rule.
It is precisely because of this power that Corey has absolute confidence. No matter which body part's holder is, as long as they set foot on this land, they will become his prey.
That piece of body will also be his.
After screening out hundreds of extraordinary people in the city in an instant, Corey sensed the person he was looking for.
He was running quickly and awkwardly in a dark and rugged alley, as if he was trying to escape from something.
But unfortunately, you can't escape my "attention" no matter what.
Corey followed his gaze and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Your share of the body will become mine.
…
In Uru's sea of consciousness, Bai Wei slowly opened his eyes.
"Oh? Were we discovered?" he murmured.
At this moment, Uru was still running wildly and even wanted to leave the city directly.
Then, he heard Bai Wei's voice in his mind: "Snap your fingers."
Ulu was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why Bai Wei asked him to snap his fingers at this time, but he naturally didn't want to do so and simply ignored Bai Wei's words.
Soon Bai Wei repeated it again: "Snap your fingers, quick."
Ulu still ignored it, and then he heard Bai Wei's slight sigh.
The next second, Uru felt a very dangerous force chasing him.
It was fast, really fast. The winding alleys and muddy paths were no way to stop it. By the time Ulu sensed something, it would have caught up with and caught Ulu.
But at this moment, half of Ulu's body suddenly lost control.
A more powerful force took over his left hand.
Then, there was a "pop" sound.
The sound of snapping fingers is crisp and pleasant.
The thing that was about to grab him disappeared in an instant.
…
Corey suddenly covered his left eye, and his originally upright body quickly bent down, as if someone had punched him hard in the eye.
When he moved his hand away, he saw that it was covered in blood.
This is the first time in history that [Gaze] has been cancelled.
"Interesting." Corey murmured, "So you're holding that left middle finger. Tsk, the power of [Terminate] is greater than I thought. It can even cancel [Contemplation]."
After a few breaths, the bleeding stopped and Corey stood up again. There was nothing unusual on his face except a little blood.
Although [Watch] was cancelled, Corey was not worried. The damage he had just suffered was not caused by the middle finger, but by the backlash of this eye, which was [Watch]. Except for Visas, anyone who used the rules in his body would have to pay a price.
Fortunately, Corey can offset this cost through the power of Rhine, but this also limits his frequency of use. He can only use it about once every two days to avoid causing permanent, irreversible damage to his body.
Therefore, he has no way to use [Gaze] again immediately.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s not like he didn’t see anything just now.
He still saw Uru, although only for a moment, but Corey could also feel Uru's physical condition...it could no longer be described as bad.
That guy had no way to use the power of the Rhine to offset the cost, so every time he snapped his fingers, he was deducting his own life, and apparently, he was almost out of life.
So Corey wasn't worried.
Feeling the slight restlessness in his left eye, Corey chuckled and soothed it.
"Don't worry, I'll bring your 'brother' here soon."
…
"vomit……"
Ulu fell to the ground, spitting out blood.
The middle finger on the side, that is, Bai Wei, was standing upright calmly.
I didn't expect to be discovered by that guy. This was unexpected.
Bai Wei glanced at the direction where the vision had come from. Even he could sense the danger. He also knew that although the [Attention] was interrupted this time, they were indeed being targeted by that crazy bishop.
But it doesn’t matter.
Bai Wei turned and looked at Ulu again.
It’s about time anyway.
"Visas..." After catching his breath, Ulu raised his head and stared at Bai Wei, "What do you want to do?"
Bai Wei replied calmly: "If I hadn't snapped my fingers just now, we would have been caught up by that guy now."
"You know I'm not asking that!" Ulu rushed up like a madman, pressing his left hand against the wall. "You clearly said you were here to find the whereabouts of another body part! But you were lying to me from the beginning! What on earth did you want to do by letting me know those things?!"
Facing Ulu who was about to lose his mind due to anger, Bai Wei remained calm and said, "It's just a deal. I did come here to find the whereabouts of the other body part, and I did find it. But I didn't say that I won't help you find the murderer today."
"You're not helping me find the murderer!" Ulu yelled hysterically, "You're lying!"
"No, I still put the murderer's information in front of you, but you haven't discovered it yet." Bai Wei said lightly, "But it doesn't matter. Tomorrow... is the last one."
Ulu was slightly startled: "What's the last one?"
"This is the last piece of information, the last piece of the murderer's puzzle. You can understand it however you want. If you still don't understand it tomorrow, I don't mind telling you everything, as long as... you have the courage to take it all on." Bai Wei said with a half-smile, "But, do you really have that kind of courage?"
Ulu's body trembled slightly.
He felt like there was a voice called reason in his mind yelling at him, "Go! Go! Go! Don't listen to him!"
but……
Wu Lu gritted his teeth tightly, blood constantly flowing out of the corners of his mouth. He stared at Bai Wei intently, his eyes looking murderous: "Do you promise that tomorrow will be the last time?"
"Of course, I promise." Bai Wei said, "Also, after you know everything, I want to start a new deal with you."
Ulu subconsciously asked: "What deal?"
"You can ask me for anything." Bai Wei "looked" at Wu Lu and chuckled, "But I want your life."
