Who hid My Corpse!

Contract Land, in the game, is like a background entity similar to Visas himself, lacking official narrative and map, only leaving behind snippets of records like soul-wandering tales, letting players know of its existence.

Players only know this place is extremely special, special enough that every ten years, each of the major churches sends wealth and military power there, including the Esoteric Buddhism.

Just think about it, the openly opposing Orthodox and Esoteric Buddhism in this land must jointly maintain such a place, with no one objecting, which is quite intriguing in itself.

Therefore, players naturally have numerous speculations about this place, with most pointing to Visas.

After all, besides Visas, no one can make the Eight Great Churches work together to complete something.

So most likely there's something of Visas sealed in this Contract Land.

Possibly some extremely powerful corpse block.

Like a brain, or a heart.

Or even simply Visas's soul.

The world says Visas's soul has already perished, but in the end, that's just what the major churches claim.

What if it hasn't?

What if His soul is right there in Contract Land, eternally guarded by the contractors?

Before crossing over, Bai Wei also supported the latter speculation, but now he is Visas, so the soul theory can naturally be dismissed.

Therefore Bai Wei also thinks the place likely holds something like a heart or brain.

But he didn't expect Miss Nameless Finger's answer to be Visas's... body.

Body, not corpse block.

This has quite some implications.

It seems the gods didn't have the ability to truly divide Visas's body into thousands of pieces, leaving the largest piece, so large it can only be called a "body" and not a "corpse block," hence requiring the Contract Land formed by the Eight Great Churches to guard.

Unfortunately... Bai Wei has now found out.

Bai Wei slightly lifted the corners of his lips.

Honestly, at first, he didn't expect such a huge gain, if not for that finger, he couldn't have known the other party was from Contract Land.

This is secrecy within secrecy, generally, only those above the bishop level in the major churches are qualified to know.

But as a player, Bai Wei knows that finger, knows the finger with the [Contract] rule indeed fell on Contract Land.

So he acted on a whim, catching Miss Nameless Finger off guard.

Although he still doesn't know who Miss Nameless Finger is.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he knows what her finger is.

Thinking this, Bai Wei couldn't help but stretch, feeling utterly refreshed.

As they say, once the dealer wins, it's exhilarating, always the dealer, always exhilarating.

Next time, continue.

As long as Rocky is the opponent, he wins every time.

It's just that nameless finger seems a bit troublesome, needs good deliberation next time.

"...snore... snore"

Just as Bai Wei felt overwhelmingly refreshed from winning big, a gentle snore reached his ears.

He followed the sound, discovering the snorer was Vic.

Vic, guarding the door, had fallen asleep unknown to him, looking like a pup in its nest.

Fortunately, he had locked the door before sleeping.

By now, night had fully descended, corpse ghosts began roaming outside, and faint sounds of "thump thump thump" echoed from the door, sounds they made.

But they could never breach the door that had been kicked open by Vic during the day.

Yet they could still sense the "vitality" inside, and kept attempting.

"God of Senluo." Bai Wei leisurely leaned against the wall, gazing at the moonlight outside, murmuring, "Is this your final struggle?"

No one responded to Bai Wei.

So Bai Wei closed his eyes, ready to rest a bit.

But soon, he heard a faint sound utterly different from that of the corpse ghosts.

He opened his eyes.

"Huh, coming so quickly?"

He leisurely sat up, once again gazing at the still asleep Vic, revealing an intriguingly meaningful smile.

"Time to get up, little rascal."

...

"Found it."

Lauren squinted slightly, looking at the small lodge ahead.

Corpse ghosts were roaming nearby, yet completely oblivious to Lauren and his subordinates' presence.

They had blended into the darkness.

Lauren's nose twitched, capturing more detailed information.

Inside the house, there were two people, matching the town's description of a Rhein Priest accompanied by a youth.

The youth was naturally Vic.

But as for the Rhein Priest...

Lauren slightly furrowed his brows.

He didn't know who the other party was, nor whether it was related to Rhein's attempt to infiltrate this land.

But regardless of Rhein's plans, capturing Vic first wouldn't be wrong.

As long as they controlled Vic, delivered him to the boss, and let the boss complete the final ceremony.

Then, whatever Rhein intended would be useless.

They would be the true rulers of this land.

Lauren gestured to his subordinates.

The subordinates slipped back into the dark, dispersedly approaching the house akin to a cooperative wolf pack hunting.

The corpse ghosts still hadn't discovered them.

They smoothly arrived at the door.

At this distance, they clearly felt Vic's presence.

Just beyond the door, still sleeping, unaware of their approach.

Thus, a sudden ambush could solve everything.

They prepared, once everyone was in position, simultaneously surged forward to cover the final short distance.

Meanwhile, their hands swiftly began transforming into wolf heads.

As the foremost person was about to touch the wooden door with his wolf-transformed hand.

"Bang!"

The wooden door shattered.

An even larger wolf head burst out from the inner room, instantly devouring half of the body's side of the nearest believer.

Everyone froze.

"Howl!"

Vic howled to the sky.

The sound wave instantly scattered all the believers' disguise hidden in the night.

The corpse ghosts on site raised their heads.

In those murky eyes, was their overwhelming desire for life!
