Who hid My Corpse!

"Because I'm dead, you won't escape either." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Even if I go to hell first, I'll soon see you come to accompany me. Since I can't change my fate, watching you fail like me will always make me feel a bit better."

Rocky was stunned for a moment, then immediately slammed the table and stood up: "You damn..."

"Enough." Diana stopped Rocky's outburst and then looked at Bai Wei, "Mr. Hand Eye, since we've reached this point, there's no need to keep probing each other. Only by combining the number of Corpse Blocks we three have can we stand up to the Right Eye. If we don't sincerely cooperate now, none of us can escape death, so let's not speak any meaningless words."

"Tsk, isn't it just to avoid getting stabbed in the back?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "If everyone here was as sensible as Ms. Ring Finger, I wouldn't need to give such roundabout hints."

Who the hell are you subtly talking about!

Rocky really wanted to explode, but he held it back.

With the conversation reaching this point, Rocky also understood why Mr. Hand Eye convened the Corpse Friend Meeting in Taoyuan Village at the first instance, as he'd soon become a corpse himself if he delayed any longer.

Although Rocky wanted to see Ulu, that old punk, suffer, at this moment, even he had to hold his nose and pray that Ulu wouldn't die.

"Right now, the first thing to ensure is your life, Mr. Hand Eye." Diana pondered as she asked, "What level is the constraint in Taoyuan Village? Can you really not leave that promised place? Is it primarily subjective will or actual behavior?"

"Subjective will." Bai Wei answered, "As long as I have the thought of 'I broke Taoyuan Village's promise' in my mind, then I've breached the contract, and Taoyuan Village's punishment will come as a response."

Diana frowned slightly.

This point makes the constraints of Taoyuan Village seem similar to those of the Contract Land, and indeed the latter most likely derived from the former.

Rocky asked, "What if we find someone to knock you out and carry you away, is there a theory like that? This way, you wouldn't be leaving subjectively, right?"

"Mr. Thumb is always able to come up with such suggestions that make people facepalmed."

"Get rid of your damn sarcasm! Just say it if it works or not!" Rocky lost his temper as well.

"It doesn't work." Bai Wei hadn't had time to reply when Diana had already shaken her head, saying, "As long as he believes in his heart that this is a breach of contract, there's no escaping it."

Rocky instinctively said, "Then he just needs to not think that way, right?"

Diana began to regret engaging with Rocky.

"In any case, I can't leave this place." Bai Wei said, "And I don't want to experience what Taoyuan Village's punishment is, so let's think of other solutions."

"Then should I send someone to protect you?" Rocky asked again, and then seeing the two look at him, he immediately realized how inappropriate his comment was, so he hurriedly added, "I have a friend, who has a bit of influence, not me, I don't have any influence..."

Is this really the focus?

Diana couldn't help but sigh, feeling a headache for having such an ally.

"Really appreciate Mr. Thumb's kindness." Bai Wei said with a smile, "But I don't want to reveal my location for now. After all, whether it's the Right Eye or someone else looking for me, it's no different to me, isn't it?"

"You actually think I'm trying to seize your Corpse Blocks for myself at this opportunity?!"

"One must always be prepared."

Damn it, seen through.

Rocky suppressed his emotions and said, "You're so narrow-minded, then I can't help it."

"If there's nothing you can do, never mind." Bai Wei said slowly, "Anyway, if I get killed, you won't escape either."

Rocky gnashed his teeth in rage, cursing in his mind how Rhein could produce such a hateful sleazebag like Ulu!

"Can't leave, can't protect either." Diana stated softly, "Then there's only one solution left... stall the Right Eye, so he doesn't have time to find you."

Rocky looked at Diana puzzled: "Who can stall the Right Eye? He has four Corpse Blocks!"

"Not by combat." Diana said blandly, "But by other means, since the Right Eye's identity is revealed, and he wouldn't dare expose having four Corpse Blocks, this gives us a lot of room to maneuver."

Rocky also understood Diana's intention.

"Leave this matter to me." Diana said to Bai Wei, "I can make it so he can't find you."

Bai Wei asked, "Can you really do it?"

Diana answered succinctly, "No problem."

This answer made Rocky look at Diana a few more times before pondering internally about what her real-world identity might be.

Up to now, although everyone had not fully revealed their cards, they could guess the rough identities, since they were the first to know about Isaiah killing the Tongue, so there's no point in pretending to be innocent bystanders anymore; showing one's proper role would be better.

With this understanding, Rocky cleared his throat: "Ahem, I'll also try to stop him."

Diana cast a glance at Rocky, not saying much more.

Bai Wei also merely smiled, "Then I'll rely on the two of you."

"It's just forming an alliance." Diana looked at Bai Wei again, "And it's not without costs, like a transaction, I help you, you should help us too."

"Yes, yes." Rocky quickly chimed in, "You can't just watch and then bail when the time comes, leaving us with just one Corpse Block."

"Rest assured, we're all in this together, no one can run away." Bai Wei said with a smile, "If we don't work together to take him down, we'll all die."

"Including you?"

"Of course, including me." Bai Wei said, "Of course, you might think I can refuse Taoyuan Village with two Corpse Blocks, but he has four Corpse Blocks, do you know what four Corpse Blocks can do?"

Rocky immediately became tense: "What can they do?"

"I don't know either."

Rocky was stunned, then got angry again: "You damn..."

"How would I know when I don't have four Corpse Blocks? But a living person can deduce unknowns based on the rules." Bai Wei interrupted Rocky's vulgar language smoothly, "Take the Tongue for instance, the Tongue had three Corpse Blocks."

"So what?"

"Let me make it clearer." Bai Wei crossed his hands, resting his chin while looking at the two, "Have you both interacted with the Tongue? Have you ever considered, how did he find you?"

The two instantly became serious.

Yes, they seemed to have been ignoring one thing.

That is, the Tongue seemed to be the only one present who had had real-world interactions with everyone from Taoyuan Village.

Having fought Hand Eye, battled Rocky, and finally being killed by the Right Eye.

And during this time, he had even dealt with Diana.

In other words, the Tongue knew everyone's identity.

... Was this really a coincidence?

"It seems you understand what I mean." Bai Wei said, "The Tongue interacted with all of us in the real world, could this be understood as due to him having three Corpse Blocks? Two Corpse Blocks can open Taoyuan Village, then can three Corpse Blocks still only open Taoyuan Village?"

"You think three Corpse Blocks gave the Tongue some new ability from Taoyuan Village, surpassing Corpse Block Rules?" Diana said, "And he used this ability to contact every one of us in the real world?"

"Don't you think it's likely?"

"Then why did he lose to the Right Eye?"

"Probably because this ability is only used to find people." Bai Wei shrugged, "As for whether he can win after finding them, that's another story."

Bai Wei's words weighed heavily on Diana and Rocky's hearts.

If the Tongue could find the Right Eye with three Corpse Blocks, then naturally the Right Eye could use four Corpse Blocks to find them.

"Is this really possible?"

"Why not?" Bai Wei said, "Haven't you noticed till now, the Right Eye hasn't opened Taoyuan Village to summon you two?"

"Does that matter?"

"Just a conjecture, not necessarily right." Bai Wei said slowly, "The Tongue had three Corpse Blocks, allowing him to more easily contact or sense other Corpse Fragment Holders, but he didn't know what exactly others had, so he also needed to use Taoyuan Village to gather intelligence for himself, and avoid my chasing. But the Right Eye is different, having four Corpse Blocks gives him higher access, so isn't there a possibility..."

Bai Wei paused.

"He doesn't even need to rely on Taoyuan Village to find each one of us?"
