Will Bishop Luo Qi Become the Previous One Too?
"Is this the only way you Rhine fight?" Fenris asked Luo Qi's Chief Knight, looking at the Holy Light shooting into the sky in the distance. "Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss over just dealing with a scholar who can't use the power of dreams? The whole town is about to wake up."
"Bishop Luo Qi's fighting style is indeed rather casual," the Chief Knight said with a strange expression. "But are you really sure you want our bishop to deal with just a scholar who can't even kill a chicken?"
"Who else could it be but him? I can sense him over there," Fenris said, puzzled. "He couldn't have gotten stronger in such a short time, could he? Could the workout really be effective?"
The Chief Knight couldn't help but glance at Fenris.
No wonder Bishop Luo Qi kept saying that these Eternal Nightmare Apostle were so sleepy they were out of their minds; they could even say such nonsense.
The problem is that the commotion caused by Bishop Luo Qi is indeed too great. Judging from this commotion, Bishop Luo Qi should have entered "God's Blessing" mode.
But is there really anyone here who can get Bishop Luo Qi to use "God's Blessing"?
Just to be on the safe side, the Chief Knight still asked Fenris, "Is that 'Dreams of All Living Beings' you cast on His Bishop still active?"
"That's what I was thinking too," Fenris said. "I can sense that the Dreams of All Living Beings is weakening, but the reason for the weakening is that the commotion is too great, and those who entered the dream are waking up one after another, rather than dying from contamination."
"You mean, His Bishop's enemies did not use that Forbidden Knowledge against His Bishop?"
Fenris nodded.
Upon hearing Fenris's words, the Chief Knight's unease intensified.
Was Bishop Luo Qi really fighting that scholar? Or could it be someone else?
"Knight Captain," another Knight asked cautiously, "Shouldn't we go and provide support?"
"But His Bishop didn't give the order." The Chief Knight frowned slightly. "What if he's just enjoying the battle? You should know Bishop Luo Qi, he likes to make a big fuss no matter what he does. Lately, when he and that Little Priest were in the carriage, they were shouting louder than anyone else..."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, Knight Captain Commander, watch your words, watch your words."
The Chief Knight then came to his senses and glanced at Fenris beside him.
I almost forgot there were outsiders here.
Fortunately, Fenris still looked like he hadn't woken up yet, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what they said. He only muttered "Old man, you're pretty good at playing games" when the Chief Knight turned his gaze back.
"Knight Captain, I think we should go and take a look," the Knight said again. "I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."
"Déjà vu?" the Chief Knight asked. "Why does it seem familiar?"
"Well, to be honest, my brother works at the Western Church," the Knight said. "A few months ago, he encountered a similar situation. The previous Ke Li, Corey, dismissed all the Knight under his command and stayed alone in the Great Cathedral to 'entertain' guests, and ordered that no one was allowed to approach."
"Then what?"
"Then he became the previous bishop," the Knight answered honestly.
Chief Knight: "..."
That sounds so dangerous.
But before the Chief Knight could make a decision, the commotion in the distance finally stopped.
The previous clamor and noise instantly fell silent, leaving everyone present stunned and only able to exchange bewildered glances.
"Bishop Luo Qi wouldn't..." the Knight swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat, "Wouldn't he also become the previous one?"
The Chief Knight smacked the Knight hard on the back of the head.
"Damn it, stop spouting nonsense... no, stop talking the hell out of nothing. If you really say the Bishop is dead, I'll kill you first!"
Although he appeared ruthless, the Chief Knight was also somewhat flustered inside.
Could Bishop Luo Qi really be dead?
Just as the Chief Knight was hesitating about whether to disobey orders and go find Bishop Luo Qi, a figure suddenly appeared at the edge of his field of vision, running wildly.
It was Bishop Luo Qi!
The Rhine Knight were overjoyed.
"His Bishop has returned!"
"His Bishop is not dead! He is not dead!"
They cheered as if they had won a great victory, until Luo Qi ran up to them and they realized something was wrong.
Because at this moment, Luo Qi looked as if he had crawled out of a sea of blood. His whole body was covered in wounds, his face was as pale as a buttock, and his lips were trembling uncontrollably.
The Knight were shocked and hadn't even realized what was happening when they heard Luo Qi roar.
"Damn it, what are you still looking at? Save me!"
The Knight, regaining their senses, immediately rushed forward to meet them.
"Your Bishop, what's wrong?!"
"We're here! We're here!"
Luo Qi grabbed the nearest Knight and gritted his teeth, saying, "Quickly, get my priests here, all of them! Have them heal me according to Plan Three! And be quick!"
"Yes!" The Knight immediately prepared to go find the priest, but before he could take two steps, Luo Qi pulled him back.
"And that wretched woman!" Luo Qi roared. "Go and catch her! She's done for too, get her now!"
The Chief Knight immediately realized that the Bishop was referring to the enemy he had fought, and that the enemy must also be in very poor condition.
"Your Bishop, rest assured, we will set off immediately!" the Chief Knight said, glancing at Fenris beside him. "Mr. Fenris, please help us."
Fenris also recovered from his surprise and nodded slightly. "It seems that Bishop Luo Qi did not encounter that guy. Then we will naturally go and help."
The Chief Knight nodded repeatedly and immediately ordered the Knight to prepare for departure.
Before setting off, he couldn't help but look back at Luo Qi, who was slowly leaving with the help of others.
The main thing to look at is Luo Qi's right hand.
His right hand was a bloody mess, with only his thumb hanging forlornly from the flesh, a heartbreaking sight.
What kind of enemy could possibly be so capable of cutting off Bishop Luo Qi's four fingers?
The Chief Knight gasped and said nothing more, immediately leading his Rhine Knight and Eternal Nightmare Apostle to the place where Luo Qi had fought earlier.
The location was easy to find; they arrived there in less than five minutes.
The place was a complete mess, with deep pits and sword marks everywhere. Just looking at these things, you could imagine what kind of battle had taken place here.
The Chief Knight immediately ordered a search for "that woman" that Bishop Luo Qi had mentioned.
Unfortunately, they found nothing but the mess.
Meanwhile, Ai De Wen, who had already returned to the hotel, cautiously knocked on He Wei Ni Ya's door.
"Um... Miss He Wei Ni Ya, are you alright?"
After a brief silence, He Wei Ni Ya's voice came from the room. "This is the third time you've asked me this in half an hour. What, do you want me to die sooner?"
"No, of course not," Ai De Wen said. "I was just worried about you. After all, you were in that state just now. Don't you really need me to take a look at you? Actually, I know some healing magic."
"I don't need your help," He Wei Ni Ya said calmly. "If you're thinking of attacking me now, you can just come in. There's no need for all these excuses to test me."
"Look at what you're saying! Why would I lay a hand on you?" Ai De Wen righteously. "Aren't we comrades?"
"Oh, really?" He Wei Ni Ya said meaningfully, "You really don't want my body parts?"
Ai De Wen paused, then tentatively asked, "Do you really have body parts?"
"Who knows?" He Wei Ni Ya said calmly. "Why don't you come in and see for yourself?"
Ai De Wen instinctively reached for the door, but as he raised his hand, he remembered He Wei Ni Ya's words, "Come in if you want to fight," and immediately stopped. After a moment's hesitation, he withdrew his hand and said awkwardly, "Look at you, what kind of person do you take me for? Even if you really have body parts, I would never lay a hand on you. You were injured while helping me. If I were to kick you while you're down, wouldn't I be a beast?"
He Wei Ni Ya did not reply, it was unclear whether she did not want to or had fainted.
This made Ai De Wen frown.
He came to see He Wei Ni Ya three times in half an hour, not out of concern for He Wei Ni Ya, but to check on her physical condition.
Ai De Wen was deeply shocked by He Wei Ni Ya's battle with Luo Qi. He would probably never forget the scene where he could have killed the Rhine Bishop on the spot by a single misstep.
But besides being shocked, Ai De Wen also had many questions in his mind.
That is, how He Wei Ni Ya knew that Luo Qi was the holder of the body parts, and how she fought the Rhine Bishop who possessed the body parts to such an extent.
The first point is particularly thought-provoking. Although Ai De Wen didn't have any body parts, he knew that those who possessed body parts would attract each other. If He Wei Ni Ya also had body parts, it would naturally explain the second question: with the Seventh Note and body parts, defeating a Rhine Bishop would indeed be no problem.
Ai De Wen witnessed He Wei Ni Ya's battle from beginning to end, but Ai De Wen never saw He Wei Ni Ya use the rules; she almost killed Luo Qi with just the power of the Seventh Note.
Yes, it's just one move away. If we add the power of a body part, wouldn't that make up for it?
But why doesn't she use it?
Is it because it's not available, or because... it's already been used?
Ai De Wen couldn't help but think of He Wei Ni Ya's state when she made the final mistake, as if she had been corrupted by some kind of virus, with her flesh and blood almost falling off her bones.
Ai De Wen thought she was going to die there, but He Wei Ni Ya not only survived, but also managed to return.
Ai De Wen thought that was her last breath, and that she would soon pass away after returning, but she never died.
Ai De Wen visited three times in half an hour and could clearly feel that He Wei Ni Ya's condition was getting better and better. At first, she was so weak that she could hardly speak, but just now she was able to communicate with him calmly.
It's only been half an hour, and she's already recovered to this extent?
Is it possible that the power of the body parts she possessed was the key to this? Otherwise, it's really hard to explain.
Moreover, she is already a Seven Sound Player, and even without body parts, she is one of the best in the world. So what was the reason for her injury just now?
A host of questions welled up in Ai De Wen's mind. He began to regret that he had been so engrossed in his research and fitness for the past six months that he had forgotten to gather intelligence on the outside world. Logically speaking, with someone like Holy Sound appearing, there should be news about her everywhere. If he had just paid a little attention, he could have easily found out the general situation.
Unfortunately, he is currently on the run, with Rhine and Eternal Nightmare still pursuing him in the town. Going out alone at this time is definitely not a good choice.
As for whether or not to take advantage of He Wei Ni Ya's weakness and force her to hand over the body parts...
If Ai De Wen could go back half an hour, he might have made a move, but He Wei Ni Ya has clearly recovered a lot now. If he wanted to snatch the body parts from He Wei Ni Ya, he would have to use that knowledge. But once he used that knowledge, whether he could defeat He Wei Ni Ya was another matter. First of all, he would be discovered by the Church of Eternal Nightmare, and at that point, there would be no way to escape.
Moreover, he still can't be 100% certain that He Wei Ni Ya has body parts, so it would be foolish for him to take such a risk and turn against his most powerful ally at this point.
Having figured this out, Ai De Wen concern, telling He Wei Ni Ya to get some rest and stating that he wouldn't be coming again that night, before turning and leaving.
After watching Ai De Wen's feet leave through the doorway, He Wei Ni Ya silently put down her staff and sighed softly.
They were just a hair's breadth away from killing Luo Qi.
If her body could hold out for even twenty more seconds, Luo Qi wouldn't have been able to escape.
It can only be said that the virus was too powerful. Once she used all her musical notes in the battle, she would immediately slide into the abyss of death.
Even so, she still had a chance to kill Luo Qi just now, as long as she risked releasing the Godly Ripple.
But if she did that, even if she didn't die, she would definitely be on her last legs, and then Ai De Wen, that old devil, would likely take advantage of her, which was something she absolutely didn't want to see.
Even if she were to die, she would make sure that her body part returned to Bai Wei's hands.
He Wei Ni Ya looked at the four bloodstained fingers on the table.
Unfortunately, all four of her last shots missed, but that was because she was in really bad shape; it was already her limit to shoot them at all.
However, missing the shot might not be a bad thing.
If he hits her, Luo Qi, who values body parts like his own life, might not continue running. It would be troublesome if he stopped and fought her to the death. Moreover, it's hard to say whether Ai De Wen would choose to turn against her if he knew for certain that she had body parts.
In short, it has its pros and cons.
This was He Wei Ni Ya's first all-out battle after acquiring Seven Sounds and Bones. Although she didn't achieve a perfect ending, she at least gained experience.
For example, if there is a next time.
Let's kill Ai De Wen first.
That's what she was thinking.
