Who hid My Corpse!

If that were the case, Hewinia could only think of one possibility.

That is Edwin... is Bai Wei himself, Bai Wei came around to tease her.

But is that really possible? Is Bai Wei that bored?

Hewinia recalled Bai Wei's nasty personality, and then realized it was indeed possible... just kidding.

Realizing her thoughts were drifting, Hewinia took a deep breath, cast aside the odd ideas in her mind, and after calming down, she looked at Edwin again: "Even if I find you, what can you do? You can't even beat me, yet you want to snatch Corpse Blocks from the higher-ups of the Church?"

"Miss, you might be too modest; what do you mean by you can't even beat you?" Edwin said with a smile, "With the strength you displayed just now, there are very few people in this world who could be your opponent. I have little ability to resist in front of you."

"Little ability?" Hewinia raised an eyebrow, "Seems not completely absent."

"Yes, I am not good at fighting, but since I dared to come alone, naturally I have some confidence." Edwin said, "That piece of taboo information is my confidence. I have made that into several dream fragments, just like the ones who pursued me, the Angel Envoy of my Church. I can project the information into their heads, and they'd know the truth instantly."

"So what then? Will they help you once they know the truth?"

"No, once they know the truth, they will die... immediately erased by God."

Hewinia's pupils slightly contracted.

"This is absolute taboo, even the most devout believers cannot avoid it." Edwin said with a smile, "This is my trump card. As long as I have this, no matter who it is or how powerful their force is, I have the capital to kill them. I can even plant the dream fragments in their minds, but not trigger them immediately, to make them compromise. So I am not as powerless as you think, Miss."

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, what I said just now has no effect on you because you already crippled me and know the whole thing. With your strength, once you're on guard, I can hardly succeed." Edwin said, quite 'honestly'.

"I see, but how do I know how much of what you said is true?" Hewinia said, "To be sure, wouldn't it be better if I just kill you?"

"I don't think you will kill me."

"Why?"

"Because it would make you miss the chance to know the truth about the world." Edwin looked at Hewinia with burning eyes, like a mad scholar, "Don't you want to know how Visas was born? Don't you want to know where Visas' power came from? Don't you want to become... the next Visas?"

... the next Visas?

Even though she prepared herself, when Edwin really said this sentence, Hewinia still felt surprised.

What exactly has this guy researched?

After a moment of silence, Hewinia smiled: "Seems this is your other means, carrot and stick. Especially for those who have possessed Visas Corpse Pieces and know Visas' power, this indeed is very tempting. So is it because of this that you want to convince me to help you?"

"Indeed, Miss, you are really smart." Edwin said with a smile, "Smart and strong, I even think, even without using power as a bargaining chip, just that piece of taboo knowledge enough to overturn the world, is enough to persuade you to help me. Ah, I am not being arrogant, it's just that when I saw you for the first time, I felt you and I were the same kind of people."

"What kind of people?"

Edwin said word by word: "People who want to overthrow the world."

After hearing this sentence, Hewinia was silent for a full minute, then raised her Magic Wand, lightly tapped her fingers.

After a melodious tune, Edwin's broken limbs instantly recovered as before.

Edwin smiled again: "Seems we've reached a compromise."

"Why not?" Hewinia's lips also slightly curled, "If you really want to overthrow the world, I am willing to help you."

...just kidding.

Hewinia had to admit, Edwin was quite accurate in judging people; if it were the past her, perhaps she would have agreed.

But the past her is dead, and the current her...

While lightly touching the rib that didn't belong to her, Hewinia smiled looking at Edwin, who was excited to find a companion.

She agreed to cooperate with Edwin for only one reason.

Edwin is a better bait than her, using this bait can attract more fish.

Then she would kill all those fish.

...

Another small town on the border of No-man's Land.

The town looked very ordinary, even nameless, but it was the headquarters of the world's largest organization apart from the Eight Great Churches—the Black Merchant.

After several days of travel, Lair finally arrived here.

At the moment he saw the outline of the town, his heart surged.

This was his second time coming to this Nameless Town; the last time he came, he was just a small Copper Merchant, begging everywhere because of certain things. Although he eventually managed to accomplish the task, the attitude of a lapdog was still deeply imprinted in his heart.

He then swore, even if he were to be a dog, he would be the meanest, most promising dog!

Like now, he became Visas' dog, and in just a few days, he went from almost being killed Copper Merchant to Gold Merchant.

But even as a Gold Merchant compared to Visas' dog... phew, what comparison is there to the most loyal Servant of Lord Visas?

You can't always think of yourself as a dog, and why did Lord Visas choose no one else but him? There must be a quality he possesses that others don't, right?

In that case, as long as he steadily helps Lord Visas return to the world, won't he at least become Pope?

At that time...

Lair subconsciously glanced in a certain direction of No-man's Land, then hummed in delight as if envisioning a beautiful future.

"I see you like to fantasize." Bai Wei's low voice echoed in Lair's mind, almost causing him to fall off his horse.

"Lord Visas, you have awakened." Lair stammered, "I have arrived, so the next step..."

"Just follow what I said before." Bai Wei said indifferently, "Do you need me to repeat it again?"

"Ah no, no, I remember, remember!" Lair nodded repeatedly, "Under the pretense of needing more Contract Seeds, probe the Black Merchant and Contract Land's transactions, and find out the location of the Eight Great Churches' gatherings."

Bai Wei hummed a reply, said nothing more.

His setup with Lair was similar to when he was with Hewinia: lack of power, occasionally needing rest, resting during the daytime.

Of course, Bai Wei was not resting but handling three operations simultaneously.

Between the remains under Contract Land, the body he always used, and Lair's body, he managed three-line operations.

But the remains under Contract Land had limited operational space since that troublesome Great Snake was still there.

The body he always used was also brought to the side of No-man's Land as his most significant output tool.

Finally, there was Lair.

It must be said, Lair was the most effortlessly cooperative partner Bai Wei had ever had, faithfully trusting his words and doing as told, never leaning east when told to go west.

Moreover, with a purely evil character, everything was about money and status, no divided loyalties, like a log soaked swollen in dirty water.

But if that was all, Bai Wei wouldn't have sought him out.

He could clearly feel Lair's gaze occasionally fleeting towards No-man's Land, but he didn't say anything, just quietly waiting.

Then, they entered the Nameless Town.
