Who hid my body?

Uru is just an insignificant character in the game. There is not much plot about him, and players will not care about him. After all, the worst character that players can discuss is a guy of the level of [Roger the Bite].

Therefore, Bai Wei could not get more information about Uru in the game, such as his past, so Bai Wei needed to see it with his own eyes to know more.

But Bai Wei is not without any trump cards. He has a piece of information that can change Uru's entire worldview. But it is not time to release it yet. Bai Wei thinks that if it can be combined with the news that Uru is studying hard, it will be a real trump card.

"It's almost time." Uru took another look at the sky, then closed the Rhine Covenant and said, "Lord Visas, I have to go to work."

"Go ahead." Bai Wei said calmly, "Don't forget, I'm behind you."

Uru nodded heavily, then stuffed "The Rhine Covenant" back into the bookshelf.

It was as if the boy from the past was also sealed in the memory.

Chapter 21: Standing on the table and giving the middle finger

After receiving Bai Wei's "encouragement", Ulu regained his spirits and opened the door of the church.

As usual, people who had been waiting for a long time and were already hungry had gathered outside the door. When they saw the church open, they surrounded it like zombies, but unlike zombies, they did not have so much strength that they seemed to fall down at any time when they walked.

Seeing this, Ulu could not help but frown and cursed inwardly, "What a starving ghost reincarnated", then moved aside to let these people rush into the church to drink porridge.

Of course, the porridge was not cooked by Wulu. He had a lot of things to do these two days, including killing people, burying bodies, and chopping off fingers. How could he have time to take care of the relief food?

These were all made by believers invited by the church, but in fact, they were free of charge and were generally given to small landowners who believed in the Rhine Church. The landowners would ask their servants to cook the porridge the night before and then deliver it in the early morning, distributing it in the name of the Rhine Church.

"Are those small landlords so kind?" Bai Wei asked after listening to Wu Lu's explanation, "Don't charge money?"

"What else do they want to collect?" Wu Lu said with disdain, "I have already sold them the food sent by the higher-ups at a low price. They can make a lot of money. They have made so much money. What else do they have to complain about after paying such a small amount?"

It turned out to be the case.

Bai Wei finally figured it out.

After a famine occurs, the upper class of the Rhine will distribute relief food to the lower class. This relief food will fall into the lowest level church, that is, the church at the level of Uru. Then Uru will resell this food to the landlords. After buying the food, the landlords will provide each church with the lowest level, processed food, such as white porridge.

This thing is the most suitable. It is easy to drink a lot but not feel full, which makes people doubt whether it is porridge or water. But this can be used to deal with inspections. After all, the buckets of it look really heavy.

It was as if the Rhine Church really wanted to provide disaster relief, but was exploited by its subordinates layer by layer, so that it could not save many disaster victims.

It seemed as if the Rhine Church had good intentions at first, but because it lost control over the lower-level churches, things turned out like this.

But according to Bai Wei's understanding of the Rhine Church and Lu Ji's letter to the bishop, the Rhine leaders were basically aware of all of this.

After all, this is a Western fantasy world where supernatural powers exist. How is it possible that the upper echelons of the major religious sects have no control over the lower echelons?

Seeing Bai Wei suddenly asking about this, Uru suddenly felt a little nervous: "Uh, Lord Visas, are you dissatisfied with all this?"

dissatisfied?

Of course I am dissatisfied.

Although this famine is just a background plot in the game, it is a real disaster now. As an orthodox socialist successor, looking at this church filled with victims who are about to starve to death, and thinking that the cause of all this is not only natural disasters but also man-made disasters, I will definitely not feel very happy.

However, he could not show his dissatisfaction, after all, he was Visas now. He could not show emotions that were not in line with this identity, such as... pity.

"I'm not dissatisfied." So he could only respond calmly, "I just feel it's a bit strange."

"……strangeness?"

"Yes." Bai Wei said, "My current position is too low. I can't see much. Please lift me higher."

Uru was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the middle finger of his left hand... Oh no, this is Lord Visas.

"Lift you... a little higher?" Ulu was a little confused by this instruction. He hesitated and asked, "What should I... do?"

"Since you asked me this question, I have to start doubting whether I have chosen you as my disciple." Bai Wei said unhappily, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Raise it higher, raise it higher, raise it higher! I'll repeat it to you three times, do you understand now?"

Seeing that Bai Wei was getting impatient, Wu Lu didn't dare to delay any longer and could only raise his left hand immediately.

"Is this okay?"

"Raise it higher, I still can't see it clearly enough."

There was no other way, Ulu could only raise his hands higher, almost standing completely straight.

"Is this okay?"

"It's high enough, but why are you holding up so many fingers? You're blocking my view." Bai Wei said, "Put the rest of your fingers down."

Ulu had no choice but to obey the order again and retracted the other four fingers, leaving only the middle finger.

Bai Wei's vision finally opened up. Although he could use his own strength to put down the other four fingers, doing so would inevitably cause Uru to become nervous and think that his body was out of control.

If this is the case now, Ulu will definitely think that Bai Wei's power is still bound in that middle finger.

However, Bai Wei asked Ulu to lift him up not just to torment him, but to observe the situation.

He first observed the number of victims in the church. If he remembered correctly, the number of refugees in the church today was half that of the previous two days.

This is not because everyone suddenly stopped being hungry, but because half of the refugees have no way to come here.

As for the reason...

Bai Wei looked outside the church, but he still couldn't see clearly because he was blocked by the wall.

"Higher." Bai Wei ordered.

Higher?

Ulu was in a dilemma. He wanted to say that he had lifted it to the top and he could only stand on tiptoes to go any higher, but that didn't seem to go much higher.

But he absolutely didn't dare to say this. After all, Bai Wei had already shown his impatience just now. If he couldn't even handle such a small matter, he would be useless.

There is no other way, I can only find a solution myself.

After a while, Bai Wei's vision broadened significantly.

Now he could finally see outside the church.

As he expected, many knights of the Rhine Church appeared on the streets outside the church. They were checking all passers-by, and all suspicious people were pushed to the corner and made to squat.

The Rhine Church's response was really quick.

After discovering the bodies of Luigi and Roger last night, the Knight Commander must have contacted his superiors immediately. Then, within half a night, so many knights appeared out of nowhere, obviously urgently transferred from other churches. And it was not just knights. There were also many people wearing cloth armor among the people being inspected. These should be the servants of the landlords, who were also requisitioned.

Apparently, they thought they were still in town and had no intention of letting him leave.

But it doesn't matter. This was originally in Bai Wei's plan, but the plan has not been fully realized. Bai Wei wants to make a bigger fuss and lure the bishop over. After all, his eyes are still there.

While Bai Wei was thinking, Uru under him spoke tremblingly: "Wei, Lord Visas, although I don't want to disturb you at this time, I still feel that my behavior of standing on the table and giving the middle finger to all the victims is a bit...too conspicuous?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 22 Weakness

With Ulu's reminder, Bai Wei realized that his posture was indeed a little abnormal.

In order to allow Bai Wei to stand higher and see farther, Ulu brought a table from somewhere, and then stood on it, standing on tiptoe, raising his left hand high with the middle finger raised.

It feels like the protagonist in a hot-blooded youth comic raising his finger to the sky, except that he uses his index finger, while Ulu uses his middle finger.

This strange action naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. If everyone was not unconscious due to hunger and had no energy to think about other things, someone would definitely come over to ask what the priest was doing, whether he was performing some sacred ceremony, whether he needed their help, etc.

But they were really too hungry, so even with such a weird action, these people just raised their heads, looked over here with their numb eyes, and then licked the porridge at the bottom of the bowl, and then slowly and limped away... But it was indeed very weird that they could still take a look under such circumstances.

"Okay, we've finished looking, you can come down now." Bai Wei said calmly after coming back to his senses.

Wulu was relieved when he received the order and quickly got down from the table. Then he heard Bai Wei ask, "Does giving the middle finger have any special meaning here?"

"Special meaning?"

"Yeah, like swearing and stuff."

"Well... I don't think so." Wu Lu didn't dare to be careless in response to Bai Wei's question. He recalled carefully and indeed couldn't remember any special meaning of the middle finger. So he answered, "I've thought about it, and it really doesn't have any meaning."

"Is that so?" If not, Bai Wei would be relieved, "If that's the case, you should give your middle finger more often in the future."

Ulu was a little puzzled: "Why is this?"

"Because it allows me to see further." Bai Wei said calmly, "For many things, I can only understand what happened if I see them with my own eyes. You keep your hands in your pockets, so what can I see? Especially when you meet people, it's best to habitually raise your finger, otherwise... I may not be able to help you in time."

Then, Bai Wei told Ulu what he had just seen.

When Uru heard that more knights were coming and the whole town was under martial law, he felt nervous. But when he heard Bai Wei said he would help him, he was touched, but he was still a little confused: "I understand, Lord Visas... But if I give everyone the middle finger, wouldn't it be a bit strange?"

If this were my world, you would be beaten if you pointed your finger at everyone you met.

Bai Wei complained silently in his heart, but still answered calmly: "Can't you design some natural movements? Do you really need me to teach you everything?"

"I, I understand."

At this time, Bai Wei couldn't help but complain in his heart, if it was another finger that was possessed, it would be better. Visas had two fingers left outside, one was the middle finger of the left hand, and the other was the thumb of the right hand. If he possessed the thumb, then Uru could become a "Kuakua" person, and stand him up anywhere without any burden, and others would not only not find it strange, but also feel friendly.

Of course, the premise is not to stand vertically in the opposite direction.

At this moment, the familiar little figure came to Ulu again...it was still the little boy.

"Father Uru." The little boy still lowered his head, looking very nervous, "I, I'm here."

Wulu looked down at the little boy, and thought that this guy was here to ask for food again, and subconsciously his eyes widened in anger: "Why are you..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered that it seemed to be Bai Wei's intention to ask him to come and collect food every day, so he stopped the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.

"Come with me." He said to the little boy unhappily, then turned and left.

After walking two steps, he found that the little boy had not caught up with him. He turned around and found that the little boy was still standing there blankly. He immediately glared at him and said, "Why are you still standing there? Do you want me to give you the food here?"

The little boy finally came to his senses and immediately followed Ulu to the back of the church.

While Wulu cursed in his heart, "What a greedy kid", he divided the food among three people like he did yesterday, put it together and handed it to the little boy: "Keep it well, don't let anyone find it."

The little boy took the food and hesitated for a moment with his head down. He seemed to be struggling, but the struggle did not last long. He raised his head and looked at Ulu, stuttering, "God, Father, no, we don't need so much."

"Hmm?" Ulu frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

The little boy lowered his head again, and his black hands kept rubbing the corners of his equally black clothes: "No, we don't need so much. Mom is dead, and only my sister and I are left."

Ulu's pupils narrowed slightly.

But he didn't say much. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Oh, that's true. You don't need that much."

The little boy nodded repeatedly, then gave one third of the food in the bag back to Ulu, then turned around and trotted away.

Looking at the little boy's back, Ulu opened his mouth and wanted to call him, but when he was about to open his mouth, he realized that he still didn't know the guy's name, so he could only watch him leave.

Bai Wei saw all of this, but during this period, he did not say a word. He just watched silently, as if he was asleep.

Because he knew very well that words would be a burden at this time.

Therefore, Bai Wei waited until Wu Lu gradually adjusted his mood before he slowly asked, "Do you remember yourself?"

Uru's expression, which had finally calmed down, froze again, and then he quickly denied: "Oh no, of course not, Lord Visas, please believe me, I was not so... weak when I was young."

"is it?"

"Yes, yes." A trace of panic flashed through Wu Lu's mind. He often felt this kind of panic when facing Bai Wei, but this time was different from the previous ones. He wanted to end this topic very much, so he asked urgently, "What should I do next?"

Ulu's way of speaking was already extremely disrespectful, but Bai Wei didn't care, as he knew that he had achieved his goal.

"Since you are free anyway, why not go see what your good brother is doing?" Bai Wei said with a chuckle, "Isn't he trying to find my whereabouts all over the city? Let's do as he wishes."

Chapter 23: Twenty-three Coping Methods

Pétain, this is the name of the town.

In the continent of Lovey, this word has a beautiful meaning and symbolism, but unfortunately no one cares about it, just like no one cares that the sudden famine has killed more than half of the population of this small town.

The once bustling town fell into silence and depression, but it became lively again today.

It’s just that the way it became lively is a little different from what I imagined.

These residents of Pétain, who had nowhere to go and no food to eat, sat in groups on the street, looking with numb and confused eyes at the groups of church knights who suddenly appeared in the town. The Rhine emblems on the knights' exquisite armor indicated their identities but not their purpose.

At first, the townspeople thought they were here to provide disaster relief, which showed that the God of the Rhine they believed in had not abandoned them, and allowed them, who seemed to be in darkness, to see a ray of light for survival.

But soon, the light went out.

Because they found that these knights were carrying not food but weapons.
