Who hid My Corpse!-Chapter 54 - : Forty-eight Origin Believers
Chapter 54: Forty-eight Origin Believers
Ulu was really furious.
The reason for his fury was none other than Bai Wei; since returning from the Great Cathedral, he had repeatedly asked Bai Wei who had killed his mother.
But Bai Wei never gave a direct answer, always saying, “You said you wouldn’t believe my words and needed to see for yourself. That’s why I brought you in front of him, but if you can’t recognize him, there’s nothing I can do.” This left Ulu angry but helpless. Firstly, this deal was indeed verbally agreed upon by him a few days ago, and secondly, what could he do even if he was furious? Facing an ancient spirit hiding in his body, his only threat to Bai Wei was to say, “Fuck off or I’ll blow you up.”
He had to endure it, but while enduring, he also had to confirm repeatedly, “Are you sure you really brought me in front of my mother’s killer? Are you sure I saw him with my own eyes?”
“Of course,” Bai Wei replied unhurriedly, “Just as we had agreed before the deal, I have no lies for you because there is no need, and…”
Bai Wei did not finish his sentence, but Ulu could guess the meaning of the latter half—it meant, and you don’t deserve it.
...
Regarding this ancient spirit that had been coexisting with him for half a month, Ulu believed he understood Visas well enough. This fellow had a particularly nasty trait, the angrier Ulu got, the happier this fellow became. He faced the world with an attitude of looking down at all beings, giving Ulu the impression that not even the Rhein God could get him to care much, which made Ulu feel very helpless.
But fortunately, even Ulu had to admit, Visas did have his own pride. He said he wouldn’t lie, so he really wouldn’t lie, although he might deliberately withhold some information, leading him into a trap—but at least what he did say could be taken as true.

Thus, when Bai Wei said he had brought him in front of the killer today, then he truly had brought him in front of the killer, and there was no need to doubt this.
Then, it could basically be determined to be someone in front of Rhein West Cathedral.
Among these people, the most noticeable one, the only person Ulu recognized, was Priest Herry. But no matter how he thought, Priest Herry from twenty years ago shouldn’t have any connection with the tiny Bedan Town, let alone go there specifically to kill his mother. But if it wasn’t Priest Herry, then there were too many people in front of Rhein West Cathedral.
So with this alone, it was still unrealistic to deduce the killer. Ulu thought about it a bit and then asked, “Will you take me in front of him again?”
Bai Wei gave a slight smile, “Of course, that too is part of the deal.”
Well, sooner or later, he could…
“But you should also fulfill your part of the obligations,” Bai Wei slowly interrupted Ulu’s anticipation, sinking Ulu’s heart, “I have shown my sincerity, so you should show yours now.”
Ulu took a deep breath; the other part of the deal with Bai Wei was that he needed to help Bai Wei find the whereabouts of another Corpse Block.
“No problem… but I want to clear this up in advance.” Ulu said coldly, “If it’s somewhere too dangerous, then I’m not going.”
“Such as?”
“Such as directly going to Bishop Corey’s office.” Ulu said gravely, “I will definitely not go there.”
“Of course, I wouldn’t either,” Bai Wei laughed, “But you’re quite interesting, threatening me with handing me over to Rhein Great Cathedral and at the same time deeply opposing too much contact with the Rhein Great Cathedral. Don’t you think that’s a bit contradictory?”
Ulu glanced deeply at the upright middle finger of his left hand and ultimately said nothing, just went to bed.
But his sleep was still restless; ever since leaving Bedan Town, a strong sense of unease had enveloped him, especially after knowing that half of his body had fallen under Bai Wei’s control, this feeling of unease had intensified. So much so that as soon as he fell asleep, he was always on edge, waking up abruptly after just a dozen minutes, then staring fixedly at his left hand.
After confirming that his left hand had no intention of moving on its own, and Visa’s soul seemed to sink into a deep sleep, Ulu could finally fall asleep again. However, not long after, he would wake up once more. This process often had to be repeated five or six times before Ulu could fall into a deep sleep, completely exhausted.
Then, “Ulu” sat up from the bed.
Although he could only control half of his body, completing the action of “sitting up” was enough.
Bai Wei, with his left eye open (as he still couldn’t control the right), was interestingly observing his own left hand—he had always viewed the world from the perspective of the left hand’s middle finger, but now, being able to view his left hand from a normal perspective felt quite good.
At the same time, he was carefully feeling his own breath, the air inhaled into his lungs wasn’t particularly healthy but it allowed him to experience “living” well.
Only after losing his body did he realize how important those things he had ignored before really were; being able to breathe normally felt rare, and being able to use his eyes to see the world felt precious.
However, the latter would probably be realized soon.
Bai Wei slightly turned his head, looking to his left—a wall, but it was in the direction of the Rhein West Cathedral.
He felt as if he could see through this wall, and view that not too distant West Cathedral where his own eye, unable to suppress its instincts, yearned to return immediately to its master’s body.
It was almost time.
That eye was about to return to its rightful owner.
However, Bai Wei didn’t just sit up to breathe in some fresh air or to look towards where his eye was located; he wasn’t that bored.
He manipulated half of his body, and took out a copy of “Rhein Covenant” from Ulu’s luggage; it was given to him by a priest from one of the churches during the day.
Bai Wei placed the book in front of the nightstand, ensuring it was the first thing Ulu saw upon waking. Then he opened the book to the first page which was about the origin of Rhein.
“The Rhein Covenant,” Chapter one, section one: The great Rhein God descended upon a suffering humanity, bestowed power and will upon four devout followers, and thus commanded them to spread the Lord’s radiance and shelter all people.
And there was an illustration beneath it.
With pristine white wings and a holy expression, the genderless Rhein God was suspended mid-air, as if embracing humanity.
Beneath him, four followers were kneeling in worship; four men, also referred to as the origin followers, who later became the bishops of the Four Great Churches, possessing the power of the Rhein God, spreading Rhein’s radiance across the world.
This illustration in Rhein is also known as “Origin,” the beginning of everything. All Rhein followers must bow and worship immediately upon seeing this painting, bathing in the Lord’s radiance.
But Bai Wei didn’t care at all. He stared at the painting, then suddenly laughed.
“What origin followers,” Bai Wei said lightly, “They were merely Rhein’s initial…”
“Four playthings.”
