Chapter 49: The Scapegoat Plan
At this moment, Rocky and Diana's state of mind was extremely delicate.
From entering Taoyuan Village until now, the news coming from Bai Wei's mouth had been more and more startling, to the point where they were somewhat numb to it.
"I don't even know what to say anymore," Diana sighed softly, "According to what you said, if later on I open my eyes and see Right Eye beside me, I wouldn't be too surprised."
"It's not that bad," Bai Wei said with a smile, "No matter how powerful Right Eye is, he can't teleport instantly. As long as you keep a certain distance from him, at least don't stay in the same place with him now, you'll be fine."
Hearing this, Rocky couldn't sit still.
"I have something to do, I have to go." He stood up as if his butt was on fire, instinctively wanting to leave, but then realized he couldn't leave on his own, so he looked at Bai Wei, "How about we call it a night."
"Why the rush?" Bai Wei feigned ignorance, saying in surprise, "We haven't even finished discussing things yet."
"I really have something... damn it, I've laid all my cards on the table, now I'm the closest to him!" Rocky finally couldn't bear it anymore, "If you guys don't come up with a plan, when he kills me, you'll all be done for too!"
At this instant, Rocky figured it out.
Leaving like this wouldn't improve his situation at all. If Isaiah really found him, it's game over anyway. Hence, Rocky decisively employed the method of "using foreigners' skills to restrain foreigners'," threatening these two guys not to just stand by and watch.
Although this method would increase the probability of his exposure, Rocky couldn't care less given how frightening that guy Isaiah was.
"Oh?" Bai Wei continued to feign surprise, "Mr. Thumb is actually in Nameless Town?"
Rocky didn't reply, his face dark.
Diana rubbed her temples, quite exasperated.
Indeed, what's scarier than a godlike opponent is a teammate like Rocky.
Thinking of someone like him staying next to Right Eye who got rid of Tongue, Diana felt half of his thumb was already in Right Eye's hand.
Since that's the case, rather than leaving him for Right Eye, I might as well deal with him beforehand...
Diana involuntarily looked at Rocky, but ultimately resisted that very tempting thought. After all, rashly acting against a Bishop was too risky, especially right under Right Eye's nose.
Yes, Diana already knew Rocky's identity, because after the last gathering, Diana immediately sent someone to investigate who got injured in that battle, and quickly got the answer, because Rocky was the only one injured, and the features were extremely obvious — all fingers on the right hand were broken except the thumb, it was like engraving "I am Thumb" on his forehead.
If she could know Rocky's identity, surely Isaiah could too, and at this moment Rocky was in the same place with Isaiah.
… Really a dumb pig.
Diana truly felt somewhat disillusioned.
"Rest assured, Mr. Thumb." Fortunately, Bai Wei spoke to comfort him, "Right Eye certainly wouldn't dare act against you, as long as you're in a crowded place."
"Why?"
"Because he doesn't want to expose his Corpse Blocks either," Bai Wei shrugged, "otherwise, why didn't he leave a single survivor in the fight with Tongue? And he wants to kill Tongue by occupying 'Righteousness'; on the surface, it's the Contract Land and other Churches making him act, and without such orders, how could he dare act rashly against you?"
Rocky thought for a moment, feeling that what Bai Wei said made sense, he was indeed a Bishop, and his status was only slightly inferior to Isaiah, why would he dare act directly?
Understanding this point, Rocky became less panicked and sat back down.
"Then the next issue is how we deal with him." Bai Wei guided the topic back, "Before that, we should all agree that in a direct fight, none of us are a match for Right Eye... is there any problem with that?"
Diana and Rocky did not respond, clearly agreeing.
"Then we need some additional methods," Bai Wei looked at Diana, "What do you think, Miss Ring Finger?"
Diana was silent for a while, then said, "Do you know about Heavenly Voice Obedience?"
From Diana's perspective, she only told Tongue about Heavenly Voice Obedience, yet Hand Eye knew.
"So it's called Heavenly Voice Obedience?" Bai Wei shrugged with a smile, "I didn't know its name, or what it does, but I know this gathering is to deal with me, in the eyes of the Church, I have four Corpse Blocks. To deal with someone like me, they shouldn't just gather for a meeting, right?"
This reasoning actually made sense.
Even without this reasoning, Diana wouldn't be too surprised, because Bai Wei wasn't Rocky, the gathering's information had long spread, if he hadn't uncovered some intel by now, it would mean his ability is limited.
Bai Wei continued, "Since Heavenly Voice Obedience can kill someone with four Corpse Blocks like me, it should also be able to kill Right Eye who has four Corpse Blocks, right?"
Are you planning to use Heavenly Voice Obedience to deal with Isaiah?
