Chapter 171 Hmm? Why don't you use it? (5K)
The bet is... each other's rules?!
When Rocky heard this, his first reaction was "Are you kidding me?"
I have never heard that Visas' rules can be used for betting... unless you really chop off fingers and dig out eyes in real life.
But then again, he has been brought to such a place, and in his Church of the East, which can be said to be one of the places closest to the great God of the Rhine. Uru can even drag him here, it really doesn't seem like a joke.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Rocky said, "You don't even make things clear first, and you want me to gamble with you. Or gamble... on the rules?"
Bai Wei sighed softly: "Obviously, after one bet, everything is clear. There is no need to waste words on it."
Rocky sneered.
You have to know that he is not a fool. No one would jump into this trap that looks like a pit except for the self-righteous one-eyed man.
"In that case, let me explain it briefly, although I don't know much now." Bai Wei folded his hands, and his bright middle finger was particularly eye-catching. "You can ask me questions, and I can tell you everything I know... provided that it does not involve the real world."
Rocky asked subconsciously: "Why?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Although he couldn't see Bai Wei's face clearly, Rocky still felt that he was smiling. "If I ask you about your true identity now, will you tell me?"
Rocky was silent for a moment, then replied, "Indeed."
It seems this guy has guessed it too.
Once you know each other's identities in reality.
Take these two as an example. Loki is the Bishop of the East of Rhine, and Baiwei (Uru in his eyes) is the biggest traitor in the history of Rhine who just killed the Bishop of the West.
They can be said to be natural enemies, the kind that would fight as soon as they met in real life. Even here, they can't have a good talk.
But fortunately, they don’t know each other’s identities... Oh no, it should be said that only this guy doesn’t know my identity.
Rocky raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
He realized that this was his advantage, but he also knew that he could not expose it, otherwise Uru might run away immediately.
"You're right." He added, "We really shouldn't ask about each other's identities and what's happening in reality."
Rocky decided to take it slow and not alert the enemy, so he turned the topic back to this imaginary space.
"Did you create this place?" Rocky asked.
"If I say it's me, will you believe me?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "Do you think I have that ability?"
really.
Rocky would not believe that this place was created by Bai Wei, because after entering, he felt a slight throbbing in the thumb of his right hand, which was obviously connected to this space. Combined with what Bai Wei said before, Rocky judged that this should be Visas' legacy.
Just like those corpses.
Visas's... kingdom of God?
Rocky narrowed his eyes slightly. As the Bishop of the East, he indeed had more knowledge than ordinary people and realized that everything here was like the legendary kingdom of God.
It seems that Visas back then was indeed an existence no less powerful than the gods... No.
Rocky recalled the shocking information the Pope had told them several months ago, and was shocked again.
Fortunately, the guy was dead and his body was cut into pieces.
His kingdom of God has become so dilapidated.
But the question is, how did Uru get here?
As if seeing Rocky's suspicion, Bai Wei on the other side said slowly: "As you can see, I was lucky enough to have two body parts, and then I came here... To be precise, my soul was guided here, just like you."
Rocky didn't respond.
He didn't think that the way he "fell" could be considered a guide; it was simply forced.
In other words, the way he and Bai Wei came in was different?
Is it because of the different number of body parts? After collecting both body parts, I can get the instructions for this place?
Why hasn't this happened before... Oh, no one has ever gotten two body parts at the same time before.
At least not in the records.
But... two body parts?
Rocky pretended to look at Bai Wei's throat unintentionally.
Since the body is illusory, if you try hard enough you can directly see the pool behind Bai Wei.
But what Rocky wanted to see was not Bai Wei's body, but his tongue.
In this space, only the body parts are real and cannot be hidden. They will sparkle no matter where they are placed.
And in their previous discussion, Baiwei (Uru) may have already obtained Visas' tongue, and unprecedentedly possessed three body parts - the last person to possess so many body parts was Visas himself.
If that is the case, then the current Baiwei (Ulu) can be said to be completely immeasurable.
Fortunately, it seems that the guy didn't get the tongue, and the worst has not happened yet.
So where does the tongue go?
Rocky couldn't help but start thinking about this problem, but he didn't think about it for too long and soon focused his attention on Bai Wei.
"So you've been here for a long time?" Rocky asked.
"To be honest, I just arrived too."
You are fooling a fool!
It’s been so many months since you killed the One-Eyed Dragon, and you still say you just arrived?
Bai Wei naturally guessed Rocky's thoughts and chuckled, "If you're worried that I've arrived here a long time ago and am deliberately trying to trick you, then you can rest assured that I really just arrived. Although I collected these two body parts several months ago, I was seriously injured in the process and only recovered today... I'm referring to the injuries on the soul level. You, who also have body parts, should be very clear about this. If the soul is too severely damaged, there is no way to enter this place."
Bai Wei's explanation made Rocky understand a little.
After all, as the owner of the corpse parts, he naturally couldn't be unaware of the negative effects of the corpse parts. With the physique of an average person, he would die after using the rules only a few times.
Only with the support of the gods as he does now can the negative effects be minimized.
So before, they had always been wondering how this guy Corey was killed by Uru.
Let’s not talk about which part has stronger rules, the eyes or the middle finger.
Just that negative effect alone should not be a solution for the young priest's Uru.
One can die by snapping his fingers twice, and the other can glare without restraint, but in the end it is the latter who dies?
So Rocky kept calling Corey, the one-eyed man, a loser.
Now it seems that Uru does have a method to restore damaged souls, and he should not die by snapping his fingers twice like ordinary people.
But this method is obviously not more efficient than having the Rhine behind them.
Otherwise, Ulu wouldn’t have rested for so long... That’s not right, what’s going on with Tianqin?
In their opinion, Uru must have done something to Tianqin.
Well... there are still too many doubts, and I can’t solve them all for the time being.
However, what Bai Wei said had only been here for a short time, and Rocky went from being completely unconvinced at first to being half-believing and half-doubting now.
"Besides, you're worried that I'll set a trap for you, but that's unnecessary." Bai Wei slowly spread out his hands. "I only have two pieces of corpses now. Do you think I can control Visas' former kingdom of God with just these two pieces of corpses? You think too highly of me."
"Then what do you mean by that bet you mentioned?" Rocky said coldly, "Did you learn this on your own?"
"It's very simple." Bai Wei smiled and stretched out his hand, grabbing one of the dice cups. "Hold this, and you will know."
Rocky lowered his head doubtfully, looking at the dice cup that looked suspicious.
But now that I'm here, if I walk around and still can't confirm anything, then it would be a waste of time, right?
So even though he was very alert, Rocky still reached out and grabbed the dice cup.
Then, he saw lines of small words slowly appearing on the stone table, introducing the rules of the game.
"This is……"
"The power left by Visas." Bai Wei said with a smile, "That legendary figure seemed to like gambling very much, so he made a lot of props like this, and He played the role of the dealer."
"But He is dead."
"Yeah, so this is more like the last bit of fun left, just like the rules sealed in the corpse." Bai Wei shrugged and said, "So don't worry, in this place, Visas' rules and order still dominate, and I can't change or interfere... After all, I'm not Visas."
Although he didn't show it, Bai Wei's words did dispel a lot of Rocky's doubts.
Of course, it’s not just because of Bai Wei’s explanation.
But Rocky himself also felt that in this space, only Visas' power was effective.
As for what he had, both his magic and divine arts were sealed and could not be used at all.
Since he can't do it, it's even more impossible for Bai Wei to do it.
So he and Bai Wei are both outsiders here, and are both "gamblers" in Visas' eyes.
But there was one thing that made Rocky feel uneasy, that was the rules being used as a bet.
Visas must have created the Kingdom of God when he was still alive. Could it be that he foresaw that he would die one day and be torn into pieces?
And then there will be people who will use the rules in His broken body as chips to play dice?
This scene is weird no matter how you think about it.
"How about a game?" Bai Wei asked again lightly, pulling Rocky back from his thoughts.
He lowered his head again, looked at the dice cup he was holding tightly, and then asked in a low voice: "If I lose, will I lose the rules forever?"
If that were the case, there would be no way Rocky would get involved.
"Oh, it won't be such a big deal." Bai Wei said, "It's just once."
"once?"
"Yes." Bai Wei nodded. "For example, if I beat you, then the rules you have can be used once by me in reality."
Just once?
Rocky breathed a sigh of relief.
If this is the case, it is not unacceptable...
"But before the winner uses the rule, the loser cannot use it, and during this period the loser is not allowed to enter this space." Bai Wei said lightly, "Also, the price of using the rule will also be paid by the loser."
Bai Wei's words made Rocky stunned for a moment, and then he almost slammed the table and stood up: "Fuck it, I have to pay the price for losing the rules?!"
"Yes." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Otherwise how can he be the loser? But don't worry, this has a time limit. Within one to two months, if the winner does not use this rule, it will automatically become invalid."
This calmed Rocky down.
rest assured?
How can I be assured?
Although the rules will not be lost permanently, if the other party does not use them, it means that the rules will not be used for two months and they will not be able to enter here.
And the cost has to be paid by yourself, which makes the risk even greater.
After all, paying the price is like being stabbed, and handing the rules to others is like handing the knife to an invisible person. You never know when the other party will stab you.
Even if this stabbing doesn't kill anyone, it is absolutely unacceptable.
So don't take any risks, absolutely don't take any risks.
I must not be like that stupid one-eyed dragon...
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention it." Bai Wei suddenly said, "In this place, the only option is to go all in on the gambling game."
Rocky raised his head and looked at Bai Wei: "What do you mean?"
"Literally, you have to bet as many chips as you have." Bai Wei said with a smile, "For example, I have two rules, eyes and fingers. If I bet with you, I have to bet both of them, and you... only have to bet on one. Well, this set of rules is also written in front of you."
Rocky glanced down again.
After a brief silence, Rocky placed the dice cup on the dice and pushed it forward.
"Come," he said.
Bai Wei also smiled and covered the dice cup: "This is interesting."
Then, the crisp sound of dice echoed under the rotten giant tree.
During this time, Rocky kept looking at Bai Wei, and Bai Wei was also looking at him.
With a "ding" sound.
They both stopped at the same time.
Rocky narrowed his eyes slightly.
I haven't been this nervous in a long fucking while.
But with a 50-50 bet like rolling the dice, what he might gain is much greater than what he might lose, so there's no reason not to give it a try, right?
Moreover, as the Bishop of the East, it doesn't matter even if there is no [Disturbance] for a short period of time, no one can threaten him because of it.
And he really wanted the [Contemplation] and [Stop] that Ulu possessed.
You know, although he always thought that the one-eyed man was a brainless idiot, he still approved of his ideas.
Once you have possessed the body of Visas, you will never be able to resist such power again.
There will always be a desire for more.
More.
If I refuse this time, I don’t know if I will have another chance next time. After all, Rhine has already sent people to find Uru.
If nothing unexpected happens, this guy won't live long.
But if that happened, Rocky would never again experience what it felt like to [gaze] and [end].
so……
Rocky took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "Open it."
Just as he was about to pick it up, Bai Wei suddenly raised his hand: "Wait."
"What?" Rocky immediately became alert.
"I just suddenly thought of a question." Bai Wei said slowly, "We still don't know how to address each other."
"Didn't you say not to pry into reality?"
"Why should we use a realistic name?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "Just use a random name, so that when we play next time, at least we know the other person's name."
I know your name.
Rocky complained in his heart.
He actually wanted to open the cup right now, but that would make him seem too impatient, so he pretended to be deep and asked, "What do you want to call it?"
"Since we came here as corpses, let's call each other by our body parts." Bai Wei said, "I'll call you Thumb, and you call me... Hand and Eye. How about that?"
"Whatever." Rocky waved his hand impatiently. He just wanted to open the cup.
"Very good, brother Thumb." Bai Wei opened the cup with satisfaction, "I accept your [Disturbance]."
Rocky was stunned. He saw that the dice under Bai Wei's cup were two fours and one five.
He subconsciously opened his cup and found that it was one, two, three.
Very smooth, but also very small.
Actually... lost.
Rocky felt frustrated at first, but soon realized something was wrong.
"Wait! I haven't even opened the cup yet, how do you know my points?!" Rocky suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Wei.
Then he found that Bai Wei was also looking at him.
The left eye, as bright as a star, was moving slightly.
He understood everything in an instant and shouted angrily: "You cheated!"
"In Visas' kingdom of God, how can it be called cheating to use Visas' power?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "You can use it too."
"You didn't even fucking say anything!"
"Oh...yeah." Bai Wei looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and then said with a "apology", "I'll tell you next time."
"You fucking ..."
Rocky wanted to go up and fight Bai Wei to the death, but at this time, the ancient tree beside him began to shake slowly, and the branches on the trunk also made crisp sounds.
Then, Rocky saw his bright right thumb turning into spots of light like a flying dandelion, leaving his body and floating towards Bai Wei's right thumb.
At the same time, he felt that this world was becoming more and more unreal.
He then realized that he was going to be excluded from this space because the rule of thumb was slipping away from him.
"You, you..." He pointed at Bai Wei and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
He could only watch Bai Wei and give him a thumbs-up with his finger.
"I accept your [Disturbance]." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Next time, remember to use the rules."
The moment the words fell, Rocky's illusory body completely dissipated, leaving only wisps of black smoke.
Bai Wei's right thumb has already condensed.
【Disturbance】got it.
