Chapter 110: Seventeen From now on, you must be unilaterally transparent to me_2

“What sort of thing?”

“You know,” Gerard said calmly, “there’s no need to play dumb on this matter.”

“Ha, that’s quite different from what you said at the beginning—just using my eyes to see.” Bai Wei laughed, “You want me to tell you more, but even if I do, would you believe it?”

“I will judge for myself,” Gerard replied.

…Interesting.

Bai Wei quietly observed Gerard, this knight who should have been dead in the original trajectory, while contemplating more in his heart.

...

Earlier, he had used “Gaze” to find the purpose of this journey.

Visa’s Tongue, which contains the “Domination” Rule.

In the game’s storyline, this was an extremely special Corpse Block, one that had never ended up in the hands of a player.

Moreover, when it appeared, it was in one of the most dangerous places. And with Bai Wei’s current strength, to follow the original storyline and vie for this Corpse Block, frankly, would be difficult.

So, to obtain it, it would be best to intercept it before it reached the “Final Land.”

However, in the original storyline, there was no mention of where it would be before arriving at the “Final Land.” Players only speculated that it should be in the Polluted Land, related to the Night Star incident that happened ten years ago. That’s why Bai Wei chose Gerard, a character that was already dead in the original path, as the new host.

And indeed, the choice was not wrong.

In just one day, he had already found the whereabouts of the tongue through Gerard.

Truly deserving for someone who involved the past and present of Lyra.

So, the next thing Bai Wei needed to do was simple—use Gerard to intercept and retrieve the tongue before it fell into the “Final Land,” to make himself more complete.

But while that sounded simple, actually doing it was a different story.

Because Gerard was different from Ulu, he was more righteous and more vigilant.

In Ulu’s heart, Bai Wei’s initial impression should be “an ancient being that could help himself acquire supreme power, although somewhat dangerous, the risk was worth taking,” which is why Bai Wei could so easily direct Ulu in the early stages and quickly obtained a part of his body.

But Gerard was different, in his heart, Bai Wei has always been “an existence that is highly likely to bring great harm to Lyra,” treating Bai Wei as an even bigger and more dangerous pollutant, thus holding absolute vigilance and defense against Bai Wei, even up to now, he had not used Bai Wei’s finger.

But, does this mean Gerard has no weaknesses?

No, his weakness is quite obvious.

Bai Wei looked at Gerard.

To some extent, his weakness was even more conspicuous than Ulu’s.

“It seems you want more from me,” Bai Wei spoke lightly, “but it’s not power, is it?”

“Yes,” Gerard did not deny, “Your eyes are very powerful, but I can’t always use that eye, so I need your help… more of it.”

“Ha, on one hand, you say you won’t use my power, on the other hand, you’re still craving my eyes, what a contradictory fellow you are,” Bai Wei said, “What, do my eyes not count as my power?”

Gerard did not argue with Bai Wei, merely waiting silently for Bai Wei’s response.

“You do have your principles,” Bai Wei was in no rush, speaking slowly, “but as I’ve said countless times before, to get something, you need to give something. So now, you want more help from me, what are you prepared to give in return?”

“I have already stated my needs,” Gerard said, “so next, it’s your turn.”

“I see, it seems you are indeed formally proposing a new trade,” Bai Wei said with a light chuckle, “In that case, I should state my needs as well.”

He paused.

“Considering what you want is just for me to use this eye to give you some warnings more often, rather than any higher-stakes request, I shouldn’t ask for too much, after all, it could affect our future trades. So, let’s keep it simple.”

Gerard waited quietly.

“Let’s do this,” Bai Wei looked at Gerard, speaking slowly, “You want more help from me, and I also want to learn more about you, so…”

“Afterward,” Bai Wei said with a smile, “whatever question I ask, you must answer.”

“No matter the question, as long as it’s directed at me, you are not allowed to conceal anything.”

“Simply put, your consciousness must be transparent to me in one direction.”

“That is my demand.” Bai Wei asked with a smile, “How about it?”

Gerard closed his eyes.

Bai Wei’s condition might sound innocuous at first listen, not even demanding anything specific in return, seemingly quite “conscientious,” aligning with something casually thrown out.

But he knew what Bai Wei really wanted.

This was an entirely unequal bargain.

He subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But he also knew he no longer had the capital to refuse.

After a long silence, he opened his eyes and made his decision.

“Fine.”

…

“Lord Yong Xin.” The elder opened the door to the office and then bowed to the shadow in the corner, “The matter has been taken care of.”

It was currently the darkest time of the day, yet there were no lights on in the office. The young man called “Yong Xin” sat in the corner, looking like an indescribable mass of shadows.

“Where is Ocot’s body?” the young man asked slowly, his voice so hoarse it almost seemed like a different person from the one during the day, “Where did you dispose of it?”

“Sunk to the bottom of the lake,” the elder answered. “We couldn’t bring him back for destruction. The fact that we were able to move such a large Pollutant out of the Pollution Zone and drag the body to the bottom of the lake was already the limit of what we could do.”

The young man was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, “Yes, after all, the ‘Domination’ we possess is only incomplete.”

The elder did not dare comment on this topic, and after a short silence, the young man asked again,

“How much does Gerard know?”

“Not much,” the elder said. “But he knows Ocot’s identity.”

“That can’t be helped,” the young man said lightly. “After all, Ocot’s identity wasn’t a secret within the tower. Once he’s dead, it was bound to come out.”

“But Gerard has already informed the ‘Skeleton Corps’ of everything, including the illegal modifications and the planting of Pollutants,” the elder said. “He even wants to open an investigation, using his identity as a Law Enforcer of the ‘Skeleton Corps,’ and has temporarily cleared the suspicion that Ocot pushed onto him.”

Hearing this, the young man softly “oh”ed, then laughed, “Honestly, this surprises me; I recall he hasn’t used his official position in a long time, right? Since returning from Rhein, he really has changed a lot.”

The elder asked, “Should we make some preparations in advance?”

“Preparations?”

“Yes, I’ve heard that ‘Skeleton Corps’ has already started a case,” the elder said. “They will surely come to investigate Ocot’s…”

“Let them investigate,” the young man said nonchalantly. “After all, Ocot didn’t have any issues on the surface. As long as the people from ‘Skeleton Corps’ can’t find his body, all their investigations will be baseless.”

“What about Gerard?” the elder asked. “He’s sure to have Bishop Hallman in his sights now, right? Isn’t this a concern?”

“Not a concern for now; he won’t meet Lord Bishop,” the young man said. “No matter what Gerard plans on doing, it’s already too late. At the end of the day, he’s been behind by ten years.”

Saying this, the young man paused, then chuckled.

“He’s been stuck in the same place for ten years, yet during these ten years, we also haven’t reached the place he once reached. Aren’t we just as trapped by him for ten years?”

“Tell the ‘Devil’ troops to speed up their progress.”

“We must reclaim what ‘Night Star’ failed to take back ten years ago, fully and completely.”
