Who hid My Corpse!

Chapter 41: Give Me Back My Son! (Part 2)



With no troops left by his side, Rocky faced Isaiah, his teacher, with no need to hide his own strength, the outcome was destined.

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness appeared in Mina's gaze towards Rocky.

Bishop Rhein clashed with the wanted criminal, the Bishop sacrificed, the criminal died violently, Star Relic cleaned up the aftermath.

How delightful this sounds.

Now we just need to wait for those two restless guys to make the first move.

"By the way, Miss Mina." Fenris suddenly asked, "Are you sure it's tonight?"

"Hm?" Mina looked at Fenris, "Why ask such a thing?"

"I just suddenly remembered last night." Fenris said, "That team of Holy Sound Players remembering the wrong time forced us to act a day early, which left me uneasy, so I wanted to confirm...you didn't get the time wrong, did you?"

Hearing this, Rocky also looked at Mina, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

After all, the sudden action of that team of Holy Sound Players last night completely disrupted their plan, making them have to move ahead as well.

And that team of Holy Sound Players also perished entirely due to hasty action, leaving them unsure of how those guys actually got the time wrong.

Upon hearing this, a hint of bewilderment flashed in Mina's eyes, but it lasted less than a second.

"No worries, I've already informed Teacher Isaiah." Mina said, "Teacher Isaiah also responded."

"Move the action to tonight?"

"Yes." Mina nodded slightly, spoke one word at a time, very confidently said, "Move the plan to tonight."

...

"Tell me, what exactly are you planning?"

On the outskirts of the other side of Nameless Town, Edwin looked at Hewinia with much confusion.

"You feel this is a trap, yet you still came."

"Don't you think this is a trap?" Hewinia glanced at Edwin, "The expulsion actions last night, don't you think there were too many flaws?"

"If I had to say, I think there were so many flaws last night that it doesn't look like a trap." Edwin shrugged, "If they simply wanted to expel us, instead of fighting to the death, why did they sacrifice an entire team of Holy Sound Players? And if they wanted to kill us, the subsequent pursuit was too chaotic and random, so I don't quite understand what they are actually trying to do."

"That's the reason I came here." Hewinia said, "I need to see what they really want to do."

Edwin opened his mouth, momentarily unsure of what to say.

Yes, the Three Great Churches' clumsy expulsion actions last night also naturally alerted them that something was wrong, thus similarly following the point of "using Visas fake corpse blocks to set up arrays" to ponder whether the Three Great Churches are using Nameless Town as bait to lure the two of them into a trap.

But why must it be Nameless Town?

Is there any special person or force here to deal with them?

And what was the reason for the extremely clumsy expulsion actions by the Three Great Churches last night?

These doubts lingered in Edwin's mind, making it difficult for him to grasp what those guys really wanted to do.

However, just to be safe, staying far away from Nameless Town right now is definitely not wrong.

Though Edwin very much wants to commence his grand experiment using the Visas prosthetics in Nameless Town, it must be under the premise of safety, after all, once dead, nothing remains. So Edwin certainly wouldn't knowingly jump into a trap here.

But Hewinia told Edwin instead, since it's a trap, it's sure to have bait that can lure the prey.

She wants to see what the bait is and ideally take it alone without stepping into the trap.

And this bold idea naturally made Edwin shake his head, calling it "too dangerous, extremely dangerous," but because he dared not leave Hewinia, he could only sigh and stay here.

But this is just Hewinia's statement, Hewinia didn't reveal the real reason to Edwin.

That is, Hewinia has a premonition that everything they encountered before was manipulated by a pair of big hands. Whether it's them, the Church, or the Contract Land, they are all messed together by these hands.

And the only person capable of accomplishing all this, Hewinia could only think of one person—Bai Wei.

If Bai Wei is behind all this, then many things can be explained.

Hewinia slightly squinted her eyes and gazed at Nameless Town in the distance.

She has a premonition that something big is about to happen soon, just like when Bai Wei acted in Rhein, Lyra, and the Holy Sound.

If it's true, what Hewinia needs to do is instead simple.

All she has to do is wait quietly.

Of course, Hewinia isn't without a backup plan if her guess proves wrong and she ends up in danger...

Hewinia glanced at Edwin.

Then just break this guy's leg first, and then run away.

Edwin shivered, instinctively looked towards Hewinia.

But Hewinia had already withdrawn her gaze and once again cast her eyes towards Nameless Town.

What exactly will happen?

As night gradually falls, all things will return to silence.

As countless eyes gaze upon this mundane little town.

An inconspicuous man, with the last bit of hope amidst despair, ran into the town like a homeless wild dog.

...

"Is the count matched?" Harlow looked at a series of closed carriages, saying, "Don't short me."

"Ah, listen to what you're saying." The coachman said discontentedly, "How could I miss when you only have so few? Why don't you say such things when you can afford a whole convoy and not ride with others?"

"It's not that easy." Harlow mumbled, "Gold Merchants all have their own territories, where can I find new sources?"

The coachman raised an eyebrow: "Haven't you heard of Wildfire?"

"Wildfire?"

"Yes, it's the place called Senluo a hundred years ago."

"I know the place, why bring it up?"

"Your information is too outdated, calling yourself a Messenger like this." The coachman shook his head and said, "Several months ago, something happened to Wildfire, the entire Wildfire Holy Sect disappeared overnight, and along with the long-dead God of Senluo, that land is now literally godless and leaderless."

Harlow squinted his eyes: "I've heard about that, but won't other churches target it? "

"Haha, who can target that place now?" The coachman said, "Rhein doesn't have the glory of the past, Lyra is still rebuilding, Holy Sound is still chaotic, only a few other Esoteric Buddhism are interested. But aren't Esoteric Buddhism our colleagues?"

Harlow got interested: "The way you say it, it seems there's really potential."

"Of course, taking the land is one thing, kidnapping a few kids is simple as pie." The coachman raised his whip, "But you better find a Gold Merchant to accompany you, because many are eyeing that place now."

The coachman said this, drove away, while Harlow walked back, contemplating.

Indeed it's quite an opportunity, he must try his luck.

No, not just try his luck, he must take a look, otherwise those Gold Merchants will monopolize it again.

Harlow returned to his residence, took out his key and prepared to open the door.

Don't know when that fool Lair will officially become a Gold Merchant, if he does, wouldn't he be better off?

But then again, if Lair becomes a Gold Merchant, then isn't there a likelihood that the money he took from him but never returned...

As the door opened halfway, Harlow saw a shadow appear in front of him.

Someone was behind him!

Harlow was startled, just as he was about to turn, a great force pressed him against the door, accompanied by a angry roar like a beast.

"Where's my son!"

Lair grabbed Harlow's head and slammed it against the door.

"You damned old liar!"

He screamed hysterically.

"Give me my son back!"
