Who hid My Corpse!

Beside the pale blue ripples, a few pulsating notes floated.

"Your idea is indeed bold," Edwin said softly. "Using the power of the notes to solidify this message, thereby allowing the world to perceive it without triggering the Divine Oath Mark. Just looking at this idea alone, you truly are a genius, a bold genius, just like me... So why would someone like you be expelled by the Holy Sound?"

Hewinia also briefly said, "Just like you," and Edwin understood.

All along, the Holy Sound has possessed the attribute of using notes to carry power, so their Seven Notes naturally come with Magic Power, and Hewinia tried to use this to record knowledge with the notes, thus leading to the present situation.

What Edwin held was that forbidden knowledge, albeit only a small portion, but inserting it unprotected into the brain would immediately trigger the Divine Oath Mark.

And even if not inserted into the brain, it could still trigger the sensing of the Eternal Nightmare, which is why its pursuit came so quickly.

But this was exactly Hewinia's intent.

The small fish has already taken the bait.

Hewinia raised her head, gazing into the distance.

Next, we wait for the big fish.

She thought this.

...

Alright, the hardest part has been muddled through, so what should we do next?

After departing from Isaiah's inn, Lair kept following behind the New Envoy from the Contract Land.

In Lair's view, this New Envoy must truly believe him. Otherwise, he wouldn't cover for him at Isaiah's place. So the question arises, should he continue pretending to be this New Envoy's colleague, laughingly patting the other on the shoulder and saying, "Brother, you've worked hard, I haven't prepared much for your visit to my turf, let's catch up for a meal next time" and then quickly make an exit, or should he just get rid of this guy with one swift "ka-cha," eliminating future troubles forever?

Honestly, Lair wanted to choose the second option, but there was a small problem with that option.

That is, he might not be able to win.

If Visas doesn't intervene, then he's just slightly better than an ordinary person who knows nothing, and even that is limited.

And if Visas does step in, what if it costs half a life again?

Thus, Lair was very conflicted, but at this moment, the New Envoy walking in front suddenly spoke: "Do you know what the Contract Land has been preparing for all this time?"

Lair didn't expect the other to initiate conversation with him, and was taken aback: "What?"

The New Envoy elaborated: "The reason we haven't held a gathering until now is precisely because we're preparing a certain device, a device left by the gods. Do you know what it is?"

Lair naturally didn't know, but he wasn't sure if honestly saying he didn't know would arouse suspicion from the other, so he deliberated for a moment and then pretended to ponder deeply as he spoke: "Of course I know, but I'm not sure which one you're referring to, so why don't you clarify?"

Faced with Lair's awkward wording, the New Envoy seemed unfazed and slowly spoke: "'Heavenly Voice Obedience.'

... What's that supposed to mean?

Lair nodded subtly: "So it's this."

The New Envoy continued talking: "It's a device that can directly communicate with the gods, capable of using divine power. One of its functions is... to declare someone's name to the gods, who then erase all devotees of that name in this world."

"Hmm, so that's it." Lair instinctively nodded, but after walking a few more steps forward, he suddenly realized something was wrong, "Wait, what did you say?"

By this time, the New Envoy had already stopped, standing where he was with a faint smile as he looked at him. This expression made Lair feel a chill deep in his heart, but he couldn't care less and asked urgently: "What do you mean by erasing all devotees with that name in the world? You might as well make it clearer."

"Just the literal meaning," the New Envoy said coolly, "For example, you... what's your name again?"

"Lais."

"Hmm, Lais." The New Envoy nodded. "As long as your name is submitted, once 'Heavenly Voice Obedience' is activated, everyone named Lais in this world will instantly die."

Lair opened his mouth: "What if I change my name?"

"It's useless." The New Envoy shook his head. "The name isn't the key, the key is recognition. As long as your subconscious still has even a hint of 'this name belongs to me,' then you'll be erased, even if you continuously give yourself psychological suggestions or even lose memory, the deepest subconscious of your brain will still take your life."

Cold sweat instantly poured from Lair.

What kind of damn killing machine is this?

"Of course, if there's more specific information, the scope can be narrowed." The New Envoy smiled and said, "For example, gender, age, just these two can greatly narrow the range of 'Heavenly Voice Obedience.'"

"But that's still an astronomical number." Lair couldn't help but say, "Many people will die."

"Indeed." The New Envoy said wistfully, "Many people will die, but those who should die will be a certainty."

Lair always felt there was more meaning in the other's words, but for him, apart from the certain horror brought by the 'Heavenly Voice Obedience,' there was nothing more.

He didn't think himself worthy of being killed by such a device; Contract Land doesn't need to go to such lengths to deal with him.

So what is this thing meant for? Lord Visas?

But is it really useful?

Before Lair could think of an answer, the New Envoy spoke again: "Alright, follow me."

Lair was slightly taken aback: "Where to?"

"Naturally, to the No-man's Land, the site where 'Heavenly Voice Obedience' is being built." The New Envoy said with a smile, "Or do you really want to see that device activated?"

Activate it if you must, what's it got to do with me?

While Lair was puzzled, Bai Wei's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Go with him."

...

A few minutes later, Bai Wei's consciousness returned to his own body, and he began to ponder.

Honestly, it's quite unexpected for things to develop this way.

He watched the whole ordeal from within Lair's body.

There's not much to say about Isaiah's side; it was all within Bai Wei's expectations, but the reaction from Contract Land was rather intriguing.

Without a doubt, that New Envoy from the Contract Land was Miss Ring Finger's Servant, much like how he directed Lair, the New Envoy acted according to Miss Ring Finger's will.

And the reason Miss Ring Finger decided to protect Lair and shared the information of "Heavenly Voice Obedience" is quite simple.

That is, she believes Lair is the "Tongue."

Therefore, she doesn't want Lair to fall into Isaiah's hands, while also threatening him with "Heavenly Voice Obedience." If Lair doesn't stop it, once "Heavenly Voice Obedience" is activated, Lair will die and be buried. At that time, no matter how many Corpse Blocks Lair has, he won't survive.

If Lair is wise, he should cooperate with her and head to the No-man's Land for deeper negotiations.

Of course, once he enters the No-man's Land, the power in Contract Land is greater, and then whatever negotiations occur will be according to what Miss Ring Finger decides.

However, these are all based on Miss Ring Finger's perspective. If she knows Lair is not the "Tongue," she certainly wouldn't take such actions.

Because doing so equates to prematurely exposing her most deeply hidden self.

This point is naturally beneficial to Bai Wei.

Thus, the only unexpected aspect for Bai Wei was the "Heavenly Voice Obedience."

Bai Wei squinted slightly.

How many people do these guys intend to kill?
