Who hid My Corpse!

After listening to Bai Wei's tale, Vic couldn't help but shiver a little.

"Is there really such a thing in this world?"

"Yes." Bai Wei said, "That's why I say it's the greatest malice of the Rhein Church."

Saying this, Bai Wei couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

Because the Devourer thing is also related to Vissarion.

It's not that it was created by Vissarion's power, but because its power comes from Vissarion's arch-enemy, which is the Gods.

In the game, the introduction to the Devourer is "the last bit of resentment and curse left by the Gods who were killed by Vissarion, unwilling to be completely obliterated."

In this world, only the Gods and Vissarion possess the characteristics of being "Undying and Immortal."

But their Undying and Immortal compared to Vissarion is like a poor version, Vissarion's body remains unbreakable even a thousand years after soul obliteration, the severed Corpse Blocks still seal His former power, unchanged for millennia.

While the Gods, after death, can only leave so-called "resentment and curses."

But even "resentment and curses" are still quite troublesome existences in this world.

The Rhein gathered these troublesome things and mixed them into such an extremely underworld thing called the "Devourer."

It's really from the underworld, it's a special attack against Vissarion's power, its innate existence is to hunt Vissarion.

Of course, it doesn't really have the ability to hunt Vissarion, after all, they were all killed by Vissarion in their lifetimes, and after death, they don't even have power or memory, only a tiny bit of resentment and curse remain.

But, it can't hunt Vissarion, it doesn't mean it can't hunt the holders of Vissarion's Corpse Blocks.

In the game, as long as it senses Vissarion's Corpse Blocks, it will immediately launch a pursuit and kill the holder of the Corpse Blocks.

Even if the player was in the Rhein's camp at the time, it would still chase relentlessly, completely irrational.

Only the Bell-ringer can use the Rhein's power to slightly curb their actions, once the Bell-ringer is gone, they will follow their instincts—to hunt Vissarion, using all means necessary.

Of course, when Bai Wei was talking to Vic, he didn't mention Vissarion, only saying that these guys were here to hunt him.

And after listening, Vic immediately said, "Does that mean as long as we control the Bell-ringer, we can control them?"

"Theoretically, yes."

"That's great then..."

"But the Bell-ringer is already dead."

Vic's expression stiffened.

And it was you who killed him.

Bai Wei silently added in his heart.

Yes, last night when Vic suddenly made his move, the first one he slaughtered was the Bell-ringer.

And one Bell-ringer controlled one Devourer.

So Vic's move last night immediately caused the Devourer to go out of control, but before that Devourer could start chasing Bai Wei, Vic slapped it to pieces as well.

And the Devourer couldn't instantly resurrect like Cesar, so Bai Wei was able to retreat with Vic.

But the situation afterwards is hard to say.

The Devourer's resurrection is not without cost, it needs to devour flesh and blood to grow flesh. And last night's battlefield had too much flesh and blood for it to devour.

It will soon complete its resurrection, and then chase after them again.

It won't be so easy to deal with next time, especially after already knowing Vic's combat methods.

As for Bai Wei...

Bai Wei, feeling a bit troubled, rubbed his left eye.

In the rules he currently has, the best one to deal with these guys is [Gaze], but the problem is he hasn't yet recovered from the cost of the [Visas Phantom], all rules are in a sealed state, the only usable one is the [Disturbance] he won from that fool Rocky.

But he doesn't think giving that bunch a thumbs up does any good.

Moreover, to be honest, [Gaze] isn't that useful either, because unless they're directly erased at first contact, once they split and evolve into enough numbers, trying to stare them out one by one does indeed pose some difficulty.

But fortunately, this land possesses a [Rule] that is best at dealing with them.

Looks like it's time to speed things up.

Bai Wei looked towards Vic and said, "I'm thirsty."

Vic's mind was still on the Devourer: "What?"

"I said I'm thirsty." Bai Wei shook the empty bottle in his hand, then pointed to the pond not far away, "There's water over there."

Vic still hadn't reacted: "Then go get water, why tell me?"

"I see." Bai Wei calmly said, "I didn't expect after I went through great effort to rescue you, got all injured, can't even walk, you still wouldn't help me get a bottle of water."

Hearing this, Vic finally understood Bai Wei's meaning, he awkwardly took the bottle, muttering, "You could just say it directly, why beat around the bush," as he walked towards the pond.

Bai Wei said nothing, just quietly watched him.

That gaze made Vic feel a bit uneasy, so he quickened his pace and walked to the pond.

Speaking of which, he was just focused on asking about the Devourer, seems like he hasn't asked about that dream, and why Bai Wei didn't wake him up last night.

He must remember to ask those things when he gets back.

Vic thought about this, then bent down to fetch water from the pond.

But immediately, he froze.

Because he saw the reflection on the water surface.

"Ade..."

Vic saw Ade.

He instinctively thought Ade was underwater, so in a hurry, he buried himself lower, trying to pull Ade out of the water.

But this action stopped halfway.

Because there was only half of Ade's face, and the other half... was his own.

Time seemed to halt at this moment.

Until two drops of saliva seeped from the wolf's fangs, dripping onto the water surface.

The water surface rippled, everything became blurry, as if what was seen and heard were all illusions.

However, when the water surface calmed down, that half-human, half-wolf face still lingered in Vic's eyes, filled with unspeakable terror.

"...Mr. Ulu."

He slowly turned around, facing Bai Wei with the human half, his voice and facial muscles trembling simultaneously.

"Can you tell me? What on earth... is going on?"

Bai Wei just watched Vic silently, without uttering a word.

...

"Why did it turn out like this?"

By the time the Wildfire Sect believers arrived for support, the scene was already a mess.

"What exactly happened here?"

No one could answer.

"Where is Church Leader Lauren? Has anyone seen Church Leader Lauren?!"

The leading believer had just started shouting when a response came from the other side.

"Church Leader Lauren... seems to be here."

The voice was filled with shock and disbelief.

So the believers gathered around, and only then did they understand why that believer had such a tone.

They found Lauren.

But it was only half of Lauren.

And it was... still only half of Lauren even after fully transforming into a wolf.

"How... is that possible?" The leading believer's voice also began to tremble, "Who can kill a fully transformed wolf Lauren!?"

No one could answer him.

Church Leader Lauren was already one of the most powerful in the entire Wildfire Sect, they couldn't imagine who on this land could kill someone entirely wolf-transformed like him.

"Quick, go report to Church Leader Wood!"

"Yes!"

A believer took the order and quickly left.

The leading believer shook his head, then bent down to check Lauren's body.

Dead is one thing.

But why does the body look like it was eaten?

At the thought of this, he felt a chill down his spine.

However, when he turned Lauren's body completely over, a more terrifying scene appeared.

Because there was a huge wound on Lauren's back, directly revealing the inside of the body.

And inside Lauren... was empty.

All the internal organs... were gone.

The leader opened his mouth wide, not having time to speak when he heard a scream.

He instinctively turned his head and saw an extremely emaciated figure, from nowhere, opening a mouth seemingly larger than its face.

It bit down on one believer's head and slowly began to chew.

Everyone was stunned.

And that person, while chewing, also made indistinct syllables, which if listened to closely, could barely be heard.

It was calling.

"Vi...sas..."
