Chapter 61 Only two people are going to die tonight
Rhine West Cathedral, main hall.
Bishop Corey was sitting under the huge statue of the God of the Rhine, gently flipping through the "Forbidden Book" in his hand.
He was the only one in the entire cathedral. Half an hour ago, all the Rhine Knights stationed at the West Cathedral had been transferred away by Grand Priest Heri.
This made the cathedral look very empty, but Corey didn't care about it. On the contrary, he enjoyed this kind of solitude. Because most of the time, Corey felt that dealing with those stupid mortals was a very tiring thing. They were too short-sighted and could only see a few meters in front of them.
But he is different.
His eyes can already see very far away, transcending time and space, reaching the distant future.
But those mortals couldn't see or understand. So staying with them was really a torture. If there was a choice, Corey would rather stay alone for a whole day than be surrounded by those mortals for ten minutes.
After all, they are no longer the same kind of people.
In this world, there are only two people who can arouse Corey's interest... Oh no, I should say there are only two people who exist.
Needless to say, the first one is naturally the God of the Rhine.
And the second one,
Corey's fingers rubbed gently on the "Forbidden Book".
Of course it was the guy whose soul had long been annihilated - Visas.
This guy was killed by the gods thousands of years ago, and his body was cut into countless parts, but he still left indelible parts in this world, and one of them was in Corey's body. When using this eye to look into the distant future, Corey couldn't help but wonder what kind of scenery the real owner of this eye saw with it in the age of the gods.
It really makes people... look forward to it.
Corey sighed softly.
It's a pity that such scenery will never be seen again. Visas no longer exists, and what is recorded in the "Forbidden Book" is just the tip of the iceberg.
Just like this eye, it was definitely the most powerful and beautiful eye Corey had ever seen. The rules sealed in it [gaze] simply made him unable to stop.
But even so, he felt something was missing.
There is a feeling that, although this eye is already very powerful, it should be even more powerful.
It was as if this eye was incomplete in Corey's case.
But no one knows what the missing part is. Even in the "Book of Taboo", there is no more clear record.
Thinking of this, Corey felt a little lonely again.
He really wanted to know whether the other body part holders had the same feeling, and whether they could also see a more distant future with the help of this powerful force like him.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t find such a person.
Corey slowly closed his eyes and at the same time closed the "Forbidden Book" in his hand. The chain on the book also tightened rapidly as the book closed, preventing the sealed forbidden knowledge from leaking out.
Then Corey put the "Forbidden Book" next to him, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the person who suddenly appeared in the center of the church.
"I'm surprised that you would come to me first." Corey chuckled and said, "I thought you would wait until I saw another guest before showing up, Father Uru."
A flash of lightning flashed by, and the originally slightly dark cathedral suddenly became bright.
Covered in mud and rain, the men moved slowly forward, leaving profane stains on the cathedral's sacred carpet.
Uru stopped and looked up at Corey under the statue, and the rumbling thunder slowly came.
"Long time no see, Bishop Corey."
"Well... we have indeed met. Although most of the time we communicated through letters, it seems that we have met once or twice."
"One side." Ulu replied softly, "Only one side, ten years ago."
"I see." Corey looked down at Ulu and smiled. "You were still a child ten years ago, right? A boring child. There were too many boring children back then, and it was hard to have any special memories. But now it's different, Ulu, you're different now. After receiving the news from Kelsey, I've been wanting to see you."
"I killed Kelsay," Ulu said, "and Lugi."
"I know." Corey nodded, but he didn't care. "It doesn't matter if they kill you. If you really die in their hands, it won't be very interesting, right?"
Corey's gaze gradually moved down to Uru's left hand, and then he stared at the middle finger with admiration in his eyes.
"Because you have it, you have that finger, so it's not strange that you can do anything, right? Before, I always thought that the finger only had the rule of [Termination], but you can actually use it to kill Kelsey, which means... it has some unknown power, even the [Book of Taboo] has never known, right?" Corey suddenly got excited, "In fact, I have thought of it a long time ago, but I have never been able to prove it. Fortunately, I have you, really, fortunately, I have you. You can help me solve this secret, right?"
Seeing Corey looking at him with a smile, Ulu was silent for a while and asked, "Did you know I would come to see you?"
"Of course." Corey folded his hands and looked at Uru with a confident smile on his face. "In this world, no one knows you better than me at this moment."
"Then could you please drive away those bugs?"
The smile on Corey's face gradually disappeared: "What did you say?"
"I say, can you please drive away those bugs?" Ulu repeated, "the bugs that roam the city, the bugs that leap in the fields, the bugs that... take people's lives."
When Uru finished saying this, the smile on Corey's face had completely disappeared.
"You said you came here for those bugs... the 'holy bugs' in the God's Chosen Plan, right?"
Uru nodded: "Yes."
Corey sighed softly, his eyes filled with helplessness and disappointment: "Look at your finger, Uru, look at that finger, you should have felt it, right? The power it contains, the rules it seals, how powerful, how beautiful, how... immortal."
His gaze gradually moved downward, staring at Ulu's face covered in mud.
"You have such power, shouldn't you be able to see a more distant future like me? Why are you so...short-sighted? You and I should be the same kind of people. After seeing such a scenery, we shouldn't think of stopping. You should pursue more, more, like me. Not like now." He paused and said, "You disappoint me, Ulu, I am really disappointed in you. I thought we would have more topics to talk about. I thought that with you here, I wouldn't be so lonely."
Ulu was silent for a while, then said, "So can you drive away all those bugs?"
Corey's eyes instantly turned cold.
"It seems we have nothing to talk about." Corey said lightly, "I have too high expectations of you, Uru, you are just a fool who got that finger by chance, and that finger can't bring more to someone like you, your fate is doomed. It's like I want to talk to you about the sky and the scenery behind the white clouds, but you can only see the ground under your feet, even the dirtiest bugs under your feet... Well, bugs are bugs, if you want to talk, it's not that I can't talk to you."
Corey paused, and when he looked at Uru again, his eyes turned into one of teasing and sarcasm.
"It seems that you have fully understood the God's Chosen Plan. Since you want to stop it, I can tell you clearly that I can indeed stop it." Corey raised his hand, and a black worm emerged from his palm. Then he exerted a little force, and the worm turned into powder in an instant. "Just like now, but how can you convince me?"
Corey looked down at Uru.
"Are you going to kneel down and beg me now, cut off that finger and give it to me as a gift, or are you going to defeat me and force me to obey your orders?" A mocking smile appeared on Corey's face. "You'd better hurry up. Tonight is the critical night. After tonight, many people will die."
"No, Bishop, not that many people will die." Ulu replied calmly, "Only two people will die tonight."
"That's you and me."
