Death Row Inmate

Time flew by and the weekend arrived.

The third Mr. D match will take place in the early hours of tonight, and the official team has already started advertising it, which has directly led to an explosion in the number of reservations for Underground Eden.

As for the much-anticipated Fighting Arena, it has even reached cooperation agreements with surrounding bars, restaurants, massage parlors and other shops.

These shops are permitted to broadcast tonight's showdown live.

Customers who cannot enter the Fighting Arena can also choose to watch live-projected matches and place bets at these shops.

The organizers also set a theme for tonight's closing match.

[Serial Killer VS. Murderer]

[Fighting Arena - Pseudo-Human's Rest Room]

Unlike the human side, this place is a complete prison cell.

The Pseudo-Human who need to participate in the daily battles are transferred here six hours in advance and imprisoned in different cells according to their characteristics.

The area is guarded by several Mercury Group security guards.

On the eve of the match, security guards would escort these Pseudo-Human onto the ring according to different escort standards.

These security guards were all carefully selected, some of them being top-notch humans chosen from the Fighting Arena. They all possessed at least one Corner-transforming item or had undergone demonic surgery.

Tonight, there's a special case involving a Pseudo-Human who needs close monitoring. However, this Pseudo-Human was recently injected with a "concretization inhibitor" and is being personally escorted to the deepest part of the prison by investigators and placed under special restraints, so there's no risk of escape.

It's still early.

The security guards were all gathered in the lounge to eat and watch a pay-TV program.

Even while sitting in the lounge, one can monitor the status of each Pseudo-Human through the surveillance equipment here, and the windows of the lounge also offer a direct view of the cell corridor.

While the security guards' attention was entirely focused on the television program,

Sizzle~

The television was suddenly interfered with by a signal, and an eye appeared in the flickering picture, appearing in only one frame.

It was this fleeting flash that stunned all the security guards.

Their attention was unable to leave the television for a short time, and they themselves were unaware of this anomaly.

at the same time,

A figure appeared in the prison corridor.

With her pale, bare feet touching the ground, the white-haired woman, her entire body wrapped in bandages, walked into the deepest part of the place without making a sound.

This person is none other than Zombie Shia, the zombie known as the "Valkyrie." With her armor removed, she is incredibly light and silent, not even breathing.

This place was extremely familiar to her.

Having just been transferred from Mental Hospital, she spent a long time here while her consciousness was still incomplete. It was only after achieving about five victories that she gradually awakened her self-awareness and slowly began to understand the relationship between the corner and her body.

She went to the innermost cell.

I got a key from who-knows-where to open the iron gate.

Their gazes were also drawn to the Pseudo-Human chained to the corner, its entire body bound by iron chains, in a deep coma, with the injection site on its neck clearly visible.

Shia smelled a scent emanating from the Pseudo-Human, a scent she disliked intensely.

But considering the sorority's requirements, she went up and squatted down.

It bit into the person's neck with its sharp teeth, and a special virus entered it.

Due to his special status, Luo Di was allowed to enter the Fighting Arena via a special passage to avoid being recognized by the audience and causing a disturbance along the way.

He arrived at his private lounge an hour early.

This is different from the previous two cases.

As soon as Luo Di entered, he smelled a faint scent of incense, which even made him more alert.

A man with the physique of a double-door refrigerator slowly emerged from the dimly lit area, a cigar in his mouth.

White suit, even the shoes were white.

Even though the suit was the largest size available, it still looked tight on him.

A skull-patterned tie was worn in front of his chest.

They also wore metal skull masks on their faces.

"Mr. D, I am the owner of this Fighting Arena. It's a pleasure to meet you. Just call me the owner; after all, Eden is very averse to using one's real name."

The boss took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Luo Di. His hands were a whole size larger than Luo Di's, and they were just as rough, with even the fingerprints worn away.

Most importantly, the boss also has a Mercury tattoo on the back of his hand.

"To make a long story short, I'll try not to disturb your rest."

The main reason I'm meeting with you today is on the company's behalf. Generally speaking, the company will only approach a "fighter" if they achieve three consecutive victories.

But Mr. D, your performance is so outstanding that the company plans to sign you ahead of schedule.

Actually, we just want to cooperate with you long-term and hope that you can continue to participate in our fighting competitions in the future.

If your performance is outstanding enough, you can be promoted to a core talent of Mercury Group in a maximum of five attempts, and an identity with the Investigation Bureau can also be arranged.

The compensation will definitely be good; I am a good example.

I was expelled from school for fighting and killing a classmate, so I wasn't even qualified to take the Investigation Bureau's basic assessment. Now, I've fought my way up here and am sitting in my current position.

The pituitary glands injected into my body in stages were all provided by the Mercury Group; they were a very expensive and rare special type.

Your talent surpasses mine, and you are destined for even greater achievements in the future.

A long-term contract was presented.

Luo Di does indeed enjoy this kind of close combat, which allows him to hone his fundamentals and also gives his spine a good meal. He can fully nourish his spine through the Fighting Arena.

A long-term contract and a competitive approach isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Moreover, top officials in the Investigation Bureau have secretly collaborated with Luo Di to perfectly forge Mr. D's identity information, which can naturally be used to conduct membership business at Mercury Group.

However, Luo Di doesn't like feeling restricted.

A dry sound came from his lips, which were covered with hooks.

"I Guild Leader, but I don't really want to sign a contract. You should talk to my... employer about this directly."

"Miss Isabella, is it? So you've already signed the relevant agreement? Okay, I'll talk to her about it. I hope Mr. D will have another great performance tonight."

Let me give you a heads-up: tonight's opponent is one of your kind.

"Then I won't bother you any longer! I hope Mr. D enjoys tonight's game."

The boss patted Luo Di on the shoulder lightly and then left the lounge.

This contact also made Luo Di even more interested in the so-called Mercury Group.

This boss is both the person in charge here and a formal investigator. Yet, he consistently puts Mercury Group first in his words and actions.

Perhaps I can get to know this top five company in the country better; I might be able to use this connection if I go to the capital in the future.

Luo Di wasn't averse to Mercury Group; on the contrary, he found the company, which operated seamlessly and achieved its intended results in a way that was both legitimate and illegitimate, quite interesting and impressive.

It is even a necessary existence under the current national conditions and global crisis.

During the remaining rest time.

Luo Di simply sat in the lounge with his eyes closed, reminiscing about the intense tutoring sessions he had had with the class monitor over the past few days. His muscles were trembling slightly, as if he was getting impatient.

Time's up.

Unlike the previous two matches,

This time, Luo Di from the human side went on stage first, and the atmosphere was immediately ignited when the host announced Mr. D's name.

The name D stirred up the entire venue like a wave, and various forms of support signs appeared as a result.

Many extreme fans have tattooed the letter D on their faces, and some Human Flower lot of money to order the same mask, wear it on their faces, and even try to insert the hook into their lips.

The cheers that Luo Di heard were more like his name, "D," than D.

As he entered the octagon and looked toward the passageway of the Pseudo-Human area, he seemed to hear something.

Despair!

Surprisingly, the tongue actually made a clicking sound here.

The host then began loudly announcing information about the other participant.

"Next up, please welcome the contestant from the Pseudo-Human side - [K]."

He had a tendency to abuse animals since childhood, but his psychological assessments at school consistently showed a score of "good" or above.

After graduating from high school, I got a job at an ordinary company.

Using his night shift identity as a cover, he committed a series of extremely brutal murders. Before the victims died, they were subjected to different types of torture, and the letter "K" was carved into their eyeballs.

He was injuring a teenager with his fingers when he was arrested.

Because no Mind Corner were detected, he was labeled a "death row inmate" and sent to Old City Prison to serve his entire life.

Perhaps due to the prolonged inability to satisfy his sadistic desires, he developed Mind Corner during his sixth month of imprisonment, becoming a special Pseudo-Human.

[K], which should have been used as important research material, came to us tonight.

What will be his ultimate fate?

Will he be righteously executed by Mr. D, ending his sinful life? Or will this mark the beginning of his new life of killing?

Let's welcome "Death Row Inmate-K"!
