Exposed! (5K)

Right thumb – [Disturbance].

This is also an extremely useful rule in the game. In the game, it can be simply summarized as: thumbs up adds a positive buff, and thumbs down adds a negative buff. Of course, you can choose the target.

Generally, you give a thumbs-up before a boss fight to strengthen yourself, and then give the boss a thumbs-down during the fight to weaken it.

It is also one of Bai Wei's favorite rules when he was a player, and in reality, its effect is definitely more powerful than its performance in the game.

Unfortunately, it doesn't completely belong to him yet; after being used once, it will become invalid and return to Luo Qi's side.

This made Bai Wei feel regretful.

If only he could just plunder it directly, he wouldn't need to run around everywhere; he could just stay in this Peach Blossom Paradise and wait for his complete resurrection.

Of course, Bai Wei also understood that this was the limit that Peach Blossom Paradise could achieve.

Peach Blossom Paradise cannot directly plunder the rules, but can temporarily preserve the rules here, and then Bai Wei can directly take them from Peach Blossom Paradise.

This also requires that the holders of each body part voluntarily contribute the rules.

If Luo Qi were here, he would definitely shout that he did not do it voluntarily.

But in fact, when he held the dice cup, he was already "willing" to do so.

Yes, the so-called gambling was just a pretext to make Luo Qi willingly leave the rules behind, but at the same time it made Luo Qi believe that these were the rules left behind by Visas, rather than Bai Wei's scheme.

Of course, he didn't know that there was actually no difference between the two.

Well... it's not entirely without difference.

Bai Wei is not yet able to directly change the underlying rules of Peach Blossom Paradise, so what he told Luo Qi before, such as the loser only losing a month of the rules at most, and the cost of the rules needing to be paid by the loser, are all true.

And the rule that if you stay, you have to leave all the rules behind is also true.

In other words, if Bai Wei loses to Luo Qi, he will also lose [Terminate] and [Gaze].

Oh, and there's even [domination].

But Bai Wei still dared to play this game with Luo Qi because although he couldn't rewrite the underlying rules of Peach Blossom Paradise, he could add something new to it and make it operate in the way he wanted.

It's this simple and straightforward dice-rolling game.

On the surface, it seems like a 50/50 chance, but in reality, it's not.

It's not just because of these all-seeing eyes, but also because of a hidden one—a tongue.

I wonder if Luo Qi will notice that he's more irritable and impulsive than usual tonight.

Even if they realized it, they probably wouldn't think about it from the perspective of the tongue. At most, they would think that Bai Wei's behavior was too despicable, or that the two rules had clouded his judgment and made him greedy.

Overall, tonight was a great attempt.

Bai Wei was very satisfied with this achievement.

If there's a next time, Luo Qi will probably ask for a different game.

With this in mind, Bai Wei leisurely withdrew from Peach Blossom Paradise.

Unlike Bai Wei's leisurely demeanor, Luo Qi, upon returning to reality, was like a lion with its mane bristling.

He slapped away the Neat Little Father was anxiously checking on him beside him, and strode towards the prayer room.

Everyone in the Eastern Church felt Luo Qi's anger. No one dared to stop him along the way; they simply bowed hastily, but Luo Qi paid them no heed.

He rushed to the prayer room, then tossed aside several Father who were praying as if they were chickens, yelling at them, "Get out! I want to pray to the Lord!"

The Father, who knew Luo Qi's temperament well, dared not say anything more and quickly left the prayer room, closing the door behind them.

So Luo Qi was left alone in the prayer room.

Without hesitation, Luo Qi formed a hand seal beneath the statue of the Rhine God and closed his eyes.

Then a beam of Holy Light descended from the sky and landed on him, forming a pure white spherical barrier around him.

[Divine Art · Land of Blessing]!

Luo Qi connected with the Rhine God's Power and directly entered a state of God's Blessing.

In this state, any evil magic or curse will be banished and Purification.

Impurities will struggle to emerge from the body like earthworms exposed to the sun, and will eventually be annihilated in the Holy Light.

Luo Qi, a veteran of countless battles, was very experienced in this.

Only...

Luo Qi slowly opened his eyes and saw no impurities coming out of his body.

But this only made his complexion worse.

After taking a deep breath, Luo Qi canceled the release of the divine spell. His face no longer showed the anger he had before, but rather a solemn expression.

He looked down at his right thumb.

It is no different from a normal finger.

Then he slowly raised his hand and gave himself a thumbs-up, just like countless times when he was in dire straits, waiting for that finger to respond.

But this time,

His body showed no reaction.

In the empty prayer room, he stood there blankly, giving a thumbs-up, like a fool.

So, despite having mentally prepared himself countless times, Luo Qi still couldn't resist.

He immediately started cursing.

The room was very quiet.

It was so quiet that the only sounds were the turning of pages and the pounding of my heart.

Even their breathing was intentionally or unintentionally suppressed.

The person reading the book was naturally He Wei Ni Ya.

She had noticed it long ago: Bai Wei would leave her body from time to time, even when she wasn't sealed.

When Bai Wei left, he had no way to "monitor" He Wei Ni Ya.

Therefore, He Wei Ni Ya knew she had to make good use of this time to do something that Bai Wei couldn't know about.

For example... right now.

He Wei Ni Ya was naturally flipping through the ancient book she had brought back from the library yesterday, which contained information about "Visas".

To deal with this troublesome guy inside me, I need to at least know who he is.

That's why she pretended to be very tired all day, hoping that when she came back at night and fell asleep immediately, it wouldn't arouse Bai Wei's suspicion. She was betting that Bai Wei would leave her body at that time to do something else.

And as it turned out, she made the right bet.

She did sense Bai Wei's departure, and that he had been gone for quite some time.

But she couldn't feel happy at all.

Because only now does she understand what exactly is inside her body.

Although the ancient book does not contain much information about Visas, the words "enemy of the Gods," "who killed a god in ancient times," and "the most vicious and evil god" still deeply shocked He Wei Ni Ya had only attended school for a year.

In short, she originally thought Visas was just a slightly troublesome evil entity.

But now she knows it wasn't some evil thing.

... It is an evil god.

Because she had only received one year of theological education, He Wei Ni Ya knew very little about the outside world. The most powerful being she knew was the Lord of Holy Sound.

In other words, Visas is at least on par with the Lord of Holy Sound?

He Wei Ni Ya instinctively thought it was impossible, after all, the Lord of Holy Sound founded the Holy Sound Church with millions of believers, while Visas, let alone believers, probably only had a few hundred pieces of corpse left. The two should not be on the same level at all.

But then again, something that has been divided into countless parts yet is still alive and well certainly can't be a simple being.

... But can he really be considered alive in this state?

According to the book, Visas's soul had already vanished a thousand years ago, and all that remains in the world now is his immortal body.

Upon seeing this, He Wei Ni Ya involuntarily narrowed her eyes.

According to the book, Visas's soul no longer exists, so what is this Visas inside her body?

So either the ancient book is wrong, or... is he really Visas?

Is it really He Wei Ni Ya, just like myself?

The thought had barely crossed He Wei Ni Ya's mind when, before she could think about it further, she suddenly felt something rapidly returning to her body.

Her pupils narrowed slightly as she thought, "Oh no, I was too slow," and she immediately closed the ancient book in front of her and picked up another textbook.

As soon as she opened the book, she heard Bai Wei say in a slightly surprised tone, "Oh? Why did you suddenly wake up?"

He Wei Ni Ya tried to remain calm and said, "I can't sleep, maybe my sleep schedule is messed up, or maybe it's not time for me to sleep yet."

"I see."

"But you, Mr. Visas ..."

He Wei Ni Ya decided to regain the initiative. Although, for a fleeting moment, she hesitated, recalling the description of Visas in the ancient book, whether she should continue addressing Visas as "Sir." However, this doubt lasted less than a second. Regardless of whether Visas was as described in the book, or even if he was truly Visas, changing her form of address at this point would only arouse his suspicion.

"What's wrong?"

"You just left my body," He Wei Ni Ya said. "I tried to call out to you, but I didn't get a response... So you don't necessarily have to stay in my body?"

Bai Wei laughed, "No matter how nice the house is, you still have to go out."

"You're treating me like your house?"

"If I could, I would prefer you to be my score."

"...I'm sorry, I don't have that idea." He Wei Ni Ya politely declined.

During these conversations, she had completely recovered her previous state and was confident that Bai Wei would not notice anything amiss.

Then she heard Bai Wei say slowly, "Really? By the way, you're holding the book upside down."

He Wei Ni Ya subconsciously lowered her head and realized that she had accidentally held the book upside down when she hurriedly grabbed it to cover up the problem.

In that instant, He Wei Ni Ya felt as if her face was on fire.

But she remained calm. "No wonder I said I couldn't understand it. Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Visas."

Then she slowly turned the book around, her every move showing no embarrassment, exuding the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family.

However, since things had already come to this, she had no intention of continuing to watch. Instead, she stood up, put on her clothes, and prepared to go out.

Since she got back early, around nine or ten o'clock, He Wei Ni Ya decided to go downstairs to get something to eat; there were late-night snacks available in the Girls' Dormitory.

Of course, the main reason is... it's a bit awkward to stay here.

To be honest, after becoming He Wei Ni Ya, she rarely "crashed," since "crashing" means danger. However, she had done it more than once in front of Bai Wei, which made He Wei Ni Ya feel helpless. She thought that living in someone else's body was too shameless.

As she went downstairs, she overheard the whispers of the girls huddled around the fireplace in the lobby.

"Really? A magic that can directly advance your rank?"

"Isn't advancing in rank supposed to require gradual learning? Directly advancing in rank using magic... I think that's highly unlikely."

"That's why I said that magic is very risky. If you're not careful, it can destroy the sound... Although I've only heard about it, it must exist, right? Look at that senior named Ayman."

"Please, Ayman is already dead, stop exploiting the dead."

"How is this exploiting the dead! And there's definitely more than one person in the school using it!"

Magic that can be upgraded?

He Wei Ni Ya stood in the corner and listened for a moment, but didn't pay much attention.

After all, she's already at the Gold rank, so she doesn't need to advance any higher.

Moreover, she has too many things to worry about now. This "evil god" inside her seems to be more troublesome than the legendary Advancement Magic.

He Wei Ni Ya sighed softly. Just as she stepped out from the corner, the dormitory door was pushed open with a bang, and a cold wind rushed in, making everyone in the lobby shiver. They immediately looked over angrily.

"Olenna? Why are you opening the door so wide!"

"Making such a big fuss, are you trying to make sure we don't know you're back!"

The one who entered was naturally Olenna. She ignored the girls in the lobby, simply scanning the room with her cold gaze before pausing when she saw He Wei Ni Ya.

Then she strode toward He Wei Ni Ya, her aggressive demeanor suggesting she was looking for trouble.

Upon seeing this, the other girls immediately stood up.

"Hey, Olenna, what are you up to now?"

"He Wei Ni Ya, come to us quickly!"

But He Wei Ni Ya didn't move, because she saw what Olenna was holding.

An invitation.

She then guessed why Olenna had come.

As expected, Olenna stopped in front of He Wei Ni Ya, then, with a dark expression, shoved the invitation into He Wei Ni Ya's hand and said stiffly, "This is an invitation from my brother... Finnis, who asked me to pass it on to you."

After saying that, she ignored He Wei Ni Ya's reaction and walked straight to the chair at the back of the lobby, sitting down with her back to everyone.

This whole operation left everyone dumbfounded, and no one spoke for a long time.

Until one girl muttered, "Giving out an invitation and acting so arrogantly, people who don't know better would think they're here to kill the whole family."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the lobby was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

They all understood what had happened.

Her own brother abandoned her and chose He Wei Ni Ya.

Hearing the laughter behind her, Olenna remained silent, her face dark as she stared intently at the fireplace, the flames flickering in her pupils.

He Wei Ni Ya chuckled as she walked to the dormitory door and opened the invitation by the moonlight.

This is Finnis's invitation to afternoon tea tomorrow, clearly intending to make a more formal invitation then.

He Wei Ni Ya was indeed preparing to see Finnis again.

After all, they need to get to know each other.

But just as He Wei Ni Ya finished reading the last word on the invitation and was about to close it, the invitation suddenly trembled and made a crisp sound.

Then, a surge of Magic Power flowed from the invitation, spreading through He Wei Ni Ya's body along the fingers that held it.

He Wei Ni Ya's eyes widened.

She realized what it was.

[Three Sounds · Zephyr Knowledge]!

She immediately tried to stop it, but the spell was cast too quickly, and she didn't have her staff with her.

In less than two seconds, the spell swept over her entire body, then flowed out from the soles of her feet, instantly transforming into a pale blue Magic Power bird that swiftly rushed out of the dormitory.

He Wei Ni Ya immediately followed, reaching out to grab the bird.

But she was still a step too late; the Magic Power bird flew past her fingertips and quickly disappeared into the night.

At this moment, He Wei Ni Ya's complexion was worse than ever before, even worse than when she met Bai Wei in Lyra half a month ago.

Her blue eyes were filled with anger.

And murderous intent.

The bird of the breezy breeze, after gliding over the forest, landed in someone's hand, then fluttered twice before transforming back into Magic Power that flowed into it.

Then, the person emitted a soft, trembling sound.

"As expected, the Golden Score... has appeared!"

"Hey, He Wei Ni Ya, what's wrong with you...?"

When He Wei Ni Ya returned to her dormitory, she wore an expression that no one had ever seen before.

She casually took the staff from one of the female musicians and then walked straight toward Olenna in the corner.

Olenna heard footsteps and turned to look at He Wei Ni Ya. When she saw the staff in He Wei Ni Ya's hand, her pupils narrowed slightly, and then she subconsciously took out her own staff.

But she was still a step slower than He Wei Ni Ya.

He Wei Ni Ya raised her hand and fired, a golden light striking Olenna. Before she could retaliate, Olenna collapsed to the ground, a pained expression on her face.

He Wei Ni Ya grabbed her by the neck, lifted her up, and slammed her against the wall with a bang.

Everyone was stunned.

"He Wei Ni Ya ..." Olenna's eyes were bloodshot. She looked at He Wei Ni Ya with disbelief and anger. "What is this..."

He Wei Ni Ya pressed her staff directly against Olenna's lower abdomen, and then spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"At this distance, I can simply nullify your notes and turn you into an ordinary person," He Wei Ni Ya said. "You should know that I can do it."

Olenna's eyes widened instantly as she looked at the completely unfamiliar He Wei Ni Ya, feeling fear for the first time.

"I'll only give you one chance."

He Wei Ni Ya said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Who gave you that invitation?"

"Finnis, or someone else?"

"Explain!"
