Who hid My Corpse!

"I actually poked him to death..."

Bai Wei was slightly surprised as he pulled his middle finger out of the throat of the already dead "Biter Roger."

In the game, players with wild imaginations had discussed whether the best weapon in the world could be the various Corpse Parts of Visas, since Visas's body was indestructible, even by the gods, who could only manage to cut it into pieces. Theoretically, the Corpse Parts of Visas were the hardest things in the world, so why not use them directly as weapons? They could even be immune to all Divine Attribute attacks, so there would be no need to collect any more weapons—just poke around with a finger, and the job was done.

This setting might have been an oversight by the game designers, or perhaps they didn't want their carefully designed weapon system to go to waste. Either way, the game did not allow players to attack directly using Visas's Corpse Blocks. However, it did leave room for discussion among the players, like—"Motherclucker, my +10 spear can't even pierce skin; I feel like someone's fingernail might do a better job."

But now, Bai Wei had turned the players' initial discussions into reality.

First of all, just the hardness of this finger met the standards, or else how could "Biter Roger" have impaled himself to death on it?

Based solely on hardness, it indeed lived up to the setting that even the gods couldn't destroy it.

But did this mean that he could rely solely on this finger to fight from now on?

Honestly, it was doubtful—because, while it had hardness, it lacked length. Even if he tried standing it upright over and over, it was just a few centimeters long, even shorter than close-range daggers, which made it too forced to use in combat. If "Biter Roger" hadn't cooperated, it was hard to imagine anyone getting killed by this thing.

But if the finger didn't work, what about other body parts?

Bai Wei recalled other parts discussed by the players; a more reasonable option was the rib, which met the standards in length and hardness and was convenient to carry, to be pulled out from the body when needed. The only problem was that it was troublesome to put back after being removed, and using a bone as a weapon was somewhat unsightly—not to mention it didn't contribute positively to Visas's badass image.

Bai Wei quickly shook his head, dismissing this bizarre idea from his mind.

After all, he was Visas now, genuinely finding it unacceptable to put himself in the shoes of a soldier.

"Master Visas, isn't it over yet?"

At that moment, Bai Wei heard Ulu's voice.

Ulu was different from Bai Wei; after losing control of his body, he couldn't sense the outside world like Bai Wei could and was left in a state where he could neither see nor touch. He could only communicate with Bai Wei telepathically, which made Ulu very afraid. If it weren't for his greater fear of facing "Biter Roger," he probably would have ended this state immediately.

Bai Wei could sense that if Ulu wanted, he could reclaim his body at any time—after all, it was still his body.

This made Bai Wei feel somewhat regretful, not because he liked this body—it had way too many issues to be even useful in the game, probably not even matching up to the weakest NPC—but having a complete body was much better than just a finger.

Although he could keep relying on Ulu being unable to sense the outer world and delay a bit longer, Bai Wei felt it unnecessary. It was better to just return the body quickly to ease Ulu's mind.

As the saying goes, to borrow and return makes borrowing again easier.

So Bai Wei opened his hands, wanting to experience having a complete body one last time, to really feel this body.

And then he felt that after the intense battle, this body was, how should he say it,

as if something was about to burst out.

"Shit."

Bai Wei cursed under his breath and quickly switched back their bodies.

The next second, Ulu took control of the body again and immediately fell to his knees, breathing heavily, clearly not yet recovered from his state of fear.

After nearly a minute, Ulu finally lifted his head, looking at the corpse in front of him, and his expression changed instantly: "Is this..."

"It seems to be someone from a secret religion," Bai Wei said indifferently, "who can transform parts of their body into a beast."

Hearing Bai Wei's description, Ulu's eyes gradually widened, and his voice changed, "One of the Four Great Secret Religions... the Wildfire Holy Sect?!"

"Oh? It seems you know quite a bit," Bai Wei pretended not to know about this secret religion. "Did it rise after I died?"

"Uh, although I don't know the year you fell, that should be the case." Clearly, this secret religion made Ulu very fearful. "It arose fifty years ago, the youngest of the secret religions, and its rise was also built on the defeat of the previous four, specifically the 'Beast Walk' religion. It's an extremely radical sect... But why would they come here? This shouldn't be their area of activity!"

"Heh, is it hard to guess?" Bai Wei said. "The reason your fellow practitioner came here is the same reason he came."

Ulu was momentarily stunned, then he looked down at his left hand.

Yes, what else could it be?

It was all for... the power of Visas.

"Even after so many years of my death, there are still so many people chasing after my power, which is quite interesting."

Ulu didn't find it amusing at all; in fact, he was beginning to regret buying that finger.

Now he was caught in a vortex where his life was out of his control, relying solely on the power of Lord Visas inside him.

"What should I do now?" Ulu asked.

"What are you afraid of? There's nobody who knows that I'm in your possession," Bai Wei said lazily. "Isn't it better that this believer died here? Doesn't it explain things better?"

"Explain?"

"Yes. For my finger, a priest from the Rhein Divine Sect and a saint from the Wildfire Secret Sect fought to death in the streets, how pleasing that sounds." Bai Wei continued, "And the finger has disappeared too; next, those secret believers will definitely be the target of your fellow practitioner's investigation, making you even safer."

Ulu thought about it and felt it indeed made sense, and he began to admire Bai Wei greatly.

"So now, what you need to do is hurry back to the church, tend to your wounds, and act as if nothing happened. If you continue to stay here, you will truly be caught by your fellow practitioner."

Although Ulu didn't understand why Bai Wei referred to Kelsay as his fellow practitioner, he didn't dare to ask and quickly prepared to leave.

But before he could walk two steps, he fell to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood, then started coughing violently.

"Vi, Lord Visas..." Ulu said tremblingly, "I feel, terribly unwell."

Naturally, Bai Wei knew why.

Unlike last time when he snapped his fingers, this time Bai Wei truly "descended," and Ulu's body couldn't bear such power, naturally suffering a backlash.

If Bai Wei descended a few more times like this, Ulu would indeed be done for.

But of course, Bai Wei would never tell Ulu these things; he simply said indifferently, "Indeed, there's something wrong with your body, I can feel it too."

Ulu immediately lifted his head, "What's wrong?"

"Everything's about to leak out."

Ulu: "..."
