Who hid My Corpse!

Chapter 48: Time for Honest Cooperation



As soon as those words were spoken, Taoyuan Village fell into a deathly silence.

Bai Wei's gaze lingered on Diana and Rocky, while Diana and Rocky's eyes fell directly on Bai Wei. However, since they were all mere shadows, they couldn't see each other's expressions, let alone guess each other's thoughts...oh, Rocky was an exception.

Even though their faces were unclear, Bai Wei and Diana could sense his current...shock through his subtle actions. This puzzled Diana because, in her view, Rocky should also be one of tonight's witnesses; how could he have such a reaction?

Is he hiding his incompetence? But his concealment is too clumsy.

However, Rocky wasn't pretending; he was genuinely surprised for two reasons.

The first was that Tongue's murder happened only tonight, barely two hours ago. It was understandable that he, as an eyewitness, knew first-hand, but how did old Ulu know?

Originally, Rocky was thinking of trading this first-hand information with Ulu for something, but it seemed Ulu already knew. Was he also on the scene?

Yet, with that eye, it's not too surprising he could know without being there.

But how did Right Eye kill Tongue? Wasn't it Isaiah who killed Tongue?

What did he miss?

Rocky glanced at Bai Wei several times, barely holding back the urge to say, "Why don't you speak more clearly?"

"Neither of you questioned the authenticity of this news." Bai Wei, seemingly unaware of Rocky's oddity, nodded with a smile. "This also illustrates both of your abilities. If any of you truly said, 'Why don't you speak more clearly?' I would only think about staying far away from you... because I heard that idiocy is contagious."

Rocky's mouth twitched.

"Mr. Hand Eye, you don't seem worried at all." Under normal circumstances, Ring Finger would enjoy seeing Rocky's reaction, but now she had no interest in spending time on a fool. After Right Eye killed Tongue, he possessed four Corpse Blocks and had evidently become the most formidable enemy. Naturally, the others in Taoyuan Village would form alliances, and between Hand Eye and Thumb, Hand Eye seemed the more suitable ally. "Can I understand that all of this is within your expectations?"

"Miss Ring Finger, you're overestimating me." Bai Wei said, "If I truly had the ability to control everything, then Tongue's Corpse Blocks wouldn't have fallen into Right Eye's hands. You should know which Corpse Block Right Eye wants most in Taoyuan Village, right?"

Of course, it's the Left Eye; even Rocky knew that.

Rocky wasn't a fool, or at least not a complete fool, and had already figured it out by now.

Damn, Right Eye is Isaiah!

No wonder he could kill Tongue, no wonder he could unleash such power under the dim night sky, and no wonder he would hide three Corpse Blocks.

Because he is Right Eye!

Now everything made sense.

In an instant, Rocky felt a sudden clarity, like the relief of a long-relieved constipation through artificial means, but after the relief came the fear.

Damn, that guy already has four Corpse Blocks!?

And I was so close to him tonight?! If Isaiah knew I was Thumb, wouldn't I be his next Corpse Block?

Even though you couldn't sweat inside Taoyuan Village, Rocky still felt his entire body chilled, as if the relief inadvertently went too far.

"Right Eye most desires another eye." Diana nodded slightly. "But since you own two Corpse Blocks and can reject the call of Taoyuan Village, you don't need to worry about Right Eye coming after you immediately?"

"If someone else got those three Corpse Blocks, I might still have a chance to mediate." Bai Wei shrugged. "But, unfortunately, they were taken by Right Eye, so I can only say I'm not far from death."

Diana frowned, recalling their "transaction" in Taoyuan Village half a month ago, and immediately asked, "What did you give him?!"

"My current location," Bai Wei replied, "Moreover, I promised to Taoyuan Village that I wouldn't leave this place for a month."

Even someone as composed as Diana had a darkened expression at this moment.

Right Eye consuming Tongue's three Corpse Blocks already made him invincible, and he knew Hand Eye's location.

Which means if he wishes, he could consume Hand Eye at any time!

Four Corpse Blocks against two, and the one with four is Isaiah, the first among the divine. Diana couldn't see how Hand Eye could possibly contend.

She seemed to already visualize Isaiah with Hand Eye's two Corpse Blocks added to him.

At this point, Rocky also caught up with their line of thinking and suddenly widened his eyes: "Then why the hell aren't you running?!"

"With Taoyuan Village's constraints, how can I run?" Bai Wei said, "Do you think I'm Visas?"

"But if you don't run, what will you do?!"

"That depends on what you all do."

"Us?"

"Yes." Bai Wei spread his hands, "I anticipated you three would fight over unequal loot after surrounding and killing Tongue, allowing me to pick up the pieces. I never expected Right Eye could single-handedly take down Tongue, and now this is the worst-case scenario for me. If he comes for me, I'll have no means to fight back."

"Then why are you still so calm?"
