Kill Bugs

disgust.

Before even entering the octagon, Luo Di had already tasted a foul odor on his tongue, an odor completely unlike that of a human.

As far as the eye can see,

Not only did I see that Black Cockroach crawling rapidly across the cage wire mesh,

They also saw the cockroach's excrement, or rather, its excrement, produced while it was waiting, which was smeared on various areas as it crawled, even on the entrance to Luo Di's side.

The look in the eyes of this pitch -Black Cockroach was not the look of a fighter, hunter, or gladiator, but a disgusting look of someone looking for food.

They weren't there to fight; they were just released to eat.

One thing was certain: this cockroach was definitely stronger than the werewolf from the previous battle. But Luo Di felt no excitement whatsoever; he couldn't see the creature before him as prey, much less as an equal opponent.

Luo Di had originally planned to have a fierce physical fight and give his back a good beating.

Now their attitude has completely changed.

He didn't come here to perform; he came to the Fighting Arena for self-satisfaction. Luo Di would deal with whatever kind of opponent he faced in a particular way.

Whether he receives cheers from the audience is irrelevant, and whether the performance is exciting or not is none of his concern.

The word "fight" has been replaced by "extermination of insects."

All the private rooms for members are also fully booked today.

Apart from the class monitor and Shia occupying a private room,

The owner of the Fighting Arena and two investigators in charge of security were also in a private room.

The boss is essentially an investigator as well, but his special position within the Mercury Group gives him a higher status than the two investigators.

The boss, dressed in White suit and pointed leather shoes, was sitting with his legs crossed, watching the situation below. "This cockroach should have been dealt with by the two of you. What do you think of this fight?"

"This cockroach is basically mature. Its hard exoskeleton, combined with its extraordinary vitality, allows it to ignore most physical attacks. Even if a relatively short butcher knife completely breaks through its exoskeleton, it cannot cause deep injuries."

To kill it completely, you either need to sever its head in one blow or cut its entire body to pieces.

This cockroach's senses surpass those of humans, and combined with the speed provided by its insect form, decapitating it would be virtually impossible.

But this kid seems to have really controlled the prop that the Pig Headed Maniac had transformed into, and it's even hanging on his waist in the shape of a pig's head. I'd guess it's about a 50/50 chance.

"73," another investigator wearing glasses offered a different opinion.

"Cockroach Seven?"

"That kid... I've tried that knife before, the side effects are too great, it's completely unsuitable as a weapon. The guy who can cooperate with that pig-headed guy must be extraordinary, probably the same type."

By the way, has this kid's identity been verified yet?

The boss smiled slightly, "I checked, it's clean and spotless, absolutely no problem."

After a brief discussion, their attention turned to the fighting arena, just as the host finished his introduction.

Because cockroaches will attack any creature that gets close indiscriminately, the door leading to the octagon on Luo Di's side is temporarily closed. When the door opens, it means the match will begin.

The host raised his arm as he left the octagon.

"Next, please enjoy the final showdown of the night!"

Click! The electrically controlled door lock opens.

The Black Cockroach inside had turned its huge, round eyes toward the door, and the antennae on its forehead were twitching rapidly. In its mind, the sound of the iron gate opening meant the mealtime bell was ringing.

Luo Di's right hand had already reached behind him, touching the surface of the pig's head, and his foot stepped into the octagonal cage filled with filth.

Outside the Fighting Arena

Many spectators who did not meet the financial threshold had to wait outside because the inner area was full, but they were still allowed to place bets.

Although they can't see what's inside, their wristbands will receive real-time voice broadcasts.

In previous years, the final showdown would last for more than half an hour, and these people had bought a lot of food and sat outside, already prepared for a long mental battle.

But when the first sentence of the voice broadcast came out, everyone was stunned.

The food in their hands remained untouched, and many didn't even take a single bite. The opening scene alone had completely captured their attention, occupying their entire mental capacity.

Three minutes passed.

The broadcast has ended.

The outcome is decided.

Even though the Fighting Arena arena was closed and had excellent soundproofing, cheers could still be heard coming from inside, and people outside cheered along, completely unconcerned about losing money.

Even some pedestrians who weren't interested in the Fighting Arena couldn't help but come up and ask what was going on.

Fighting Arena, octagon cage.

The jet-black, sturdy humanoid cockroach was cut into pieces no larger than 20cm.

The disgusting organs and tissues were either hanging on the iron cages or scattered all over the ground.

The change in Luo Di's arm quickly faded, and the pig's head was hanging on his waist again.

The mask concealed his expression.

Yet, one could discern the disgust and contempt in the shape of his hooked lips.

Mr. D didn't experience the same thrill and excitement as in the first battle.

However, his back doesn't seem to be picky about food; it will eat even smelly and spoiled food without hesitation.

Luo Di ended the fight in the most brutal, direct, and utterly devoid of beauty or combat. In his view, the only gain was a slight improvement in his coordination with Zhu Bo.

I thought that this kind of non-combat-related "insect killing" would not be praised by the audience, Mr. D's reputation would drop significantly, and there would probably be a lot of boos at the scene.

Of course, Luo Di didn't care about that.

Anyway, he probably won't come here after the third game.

Just as he shook off the insect tissue clinging to his body and stood up, supporting himself on his injured knee.

Whoosh!

A spotlight shone on him.

Immediately following, cheers even louder than the first cheers surged from all directions.

It was no longer just simple cheering. As one of the audience members shouted out the letters, the other audience members echoed him, turning the random shouting into a rhythmic chant.

[D]

The syllable of that letter resounded throughout the Fighting Arena, and more than 80% of the audience cast almost worshipful glances at Luo Di, regarding him as a near-divine being at that moment.

Luo Di hadn't expected this at all.

He hadn't expected that the audience would also find the cockroach repulsive.

Months ago, the cockroaches' first appearance made the audience feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts, and they had long hoped that these things would die quickly and never appear on such a sacred stage again.

However, this cockroach won several victories in a row, but none of them showed the excitement that fighting should have, and they only satisfied the perverted psychology of a small number of people.

This situation further intensified the disgust in the audience's hearts.

Almost everyone present today wanted this cockroach to die quickly.

And Luo Di, this rising star, actually helped them achieve this goal.

Not only that,

The almost overwhelming massacre just now also demonstrated the superior dominance of humans over insects.

This insect-killing performance struck a chord with everyone, completely releasing and erasing the nausea that had been building up deep within them. It transformed into gratitude and even worship for Mr. D.

They are now looking forward to the third match and hope that the organizers can arrange a suitable opponent.

[VIP Rooms]

The Zombie Shia's normally colorless, pure white eyes suddenly gleamed with a slight light, showing a strong interest in her sister's 'boyfriend'—not out of emotion, but out of interest in combat.

Even the class monitor, who was lying on the sofa and pretending to be calm, had a momentary change in expression.

She had thought that Luo Di, in his human form, would expend a lot of energy dealing with these nearly mature cockroaches, but she never expected him to be so capable.

This is not a good thing.

In that case, the third match, or rather the sorority's test, will be more difficult.

"Isabella, you have excellent taste. This guy doesn't seem human at all. I really don't know where you found him."

"This is my first time choosing a partner, so of course I'll pick the best... Hey! Shia, you can't deliberately Gaokao just because of this. This is a partner I finally found."

Shia simply gave an OK sign and left the room.
