Fingers

Just now in the lounge, the owner of the Fighting Arena said that today's opponent is one of Luo Di's kind.

I thought the opponent would be similar to the "serial killer" in the movie, or even be able to Phobia-concretization to perfectly match the character in the movie.

But when Luo Di saw his opponent being escorted onto the field,

disappointment,

Utter disappointment

This was not one of their kind at all; in fact, it felt even more disgusting to Luo Di than the Cockroach Man from before.

If cockroaches are only disgusting on a physiological level,

The person before me was essentially oozing disgusting pus.

Luo Di had sensed a similar evil before, from Wu Wen's father.

Although their identities are unrelated—one is a high-ranking company executive who abides by the law, and the other is a death row inmate who enjoys torture and killing—they are completely unrelated.

But their inherent evil is the same.

They have lost their most fundamental and basic humanity, and never treat the people around them as 'human beings'.

Wu Wen's father viewed the people around him as tools, as stepping stones, and as things that were indispensable for him to maintain his senior management status. Even his own daughter was one of the elements that constituted the stepping stones.

The person in front of me sees those around him as tools to vent his perverse desires; living people are reduced to livestock in his eyes.

Luo Di didn't even need to look at the person's information; he could easily imagine the horrific scenes of the other person brutally murdering and abusing the victims.

This kind of person doesn't deserve to be associated with a "murderer".

A true serial killer never wastes time torturing his prey; in fact, he deeply respects his prey, its identity, and the opportunity to kill it.

Once the target is identified, the execution will be carried out in the cleanest and most efficient manner.

Dislike as much as it is,

The death row inmates gave Luo Di a very dangerous feeling; they were the kind of people who could only be dealt with using the "Hell Stance".

Because of the sorority's involvement, it's definitely not as simple as the host said; the "inhibitor" injected into the other person's body may have been tampered with beforehand.

Killing the opponent as a human would be extremely difficult.

Moreover, the other party possesses a characteristic that Luo Di has never encountered before - "partial spirituality".

No spiritual outlines have been seen yet, and it is uncertain whether they will be visible to the naked eye in the future.

Thinking of this,

Luo Di took a deep breath and reached for the pig's head at his waist.

The only thing they could rely on to win this fight was this. Fortunately, he had been receiving extra lessons from the class monitor these past few days, and Luo Di's familiarity with Pig Head was almost on par with his past experience with the Zombie Blade.

In some ways, pig's head is more useful.

Slide your fingers across the surface of the pig's head and down to the neck.

Whoosh!

Like putting on gloves, it's inserted into a pig's head and squeezes the pituitary gland in the brain.

"Corner-transforming item - Activate"

The skin of the pig's head flowed like fluid onto Luo Di's arms, adding an extra layer of "pigskin" to his left and right arms.

Although this layer of pigskin is not as tough as Zombie Skin, it has enough toughness and can improve the fit with weapons.

certainly,

The most important thing is not the skin.

As the pigskin was removed, what ended up on Luo Di's right hand was not a pig skull, but a uniquely shaped "pig-slaughtering knife".

A single, incredibly strong cervical vertebra serves as both the back and the handle of the blade.

The blade retains its metallic shape, fitting perfectly within the bone along the back of the blade.

One side of the blade is engraved with a pig's head pattern.

On the other side is engraved a Chinese character.

[Zhu],

It exuded a dense aura of malevolence, which was completely mixed with Luo Di's own killing intent. The faint squeals of pigs could be heard coming from the blade.

As the pig's head underwent changes, the crowd chanted the name "D" once again.

The cockroaches in the last scene were cut off by this knife, and they can't wait to see Mr. D execute death row inmates.

Seeing that Luo Di was ready, the host turned and left.

Click! The exit of the octagonal cage was completely locked, and at the same time, all the shackles on the condemned prisoners were removed.

Swish~

The death row inmate immediately tore off the tape sealing his mouth.

Something immediately popped out of his mouth.

That wasn't a tongue, but a finger, a finger longer than the middle finger.

It can be called "finger tongue".

sticking out of the mouth,

Slightly upturned

It seems to be sensing something.

Perhaps sensing the large number of living people available for torture and murder at the scene,

Perhaps it was because it sensed that there was a target among the iron cages it was in, and that its long-suppressed desires were finally able to be released.

Shortly after that finger sticks out, another part of his body also sticks out slightly.

Define the goal.

The exposed fingers and tongue were retracted into the mouth.

Buzz!

The condemned prisoner vanished right before Luo Di's eyes, leaving only a faint vortex on the ground.

"So fast!?"

Shaped like a ghost

The death row inmate appeared behind Luo Di with unimaginable agility. Strangely, the inmate did not raise his hand to attack, seemingly having no intention of doing so.

Although the speed is fast,

But the class monitor could do it so quickly; the tutoring he'd been getting Luo Di used to this kind of fast-paced combat had made him quite adept at it during this period.

Twist your ankle, turn around and slash backward!

The butcher's knife in his hand drew a crescent-shaped silver light, heading straight for the death row inmate behind him, with both accuracy and speed at their maximum.

Whoosh!

A flash of silver light,

The expected decapitation did not occur, and not even a drop of blood was spilled.

The death row inmate leaned back at the crucial moment, and the distance he leaned back was just right. The blade almost grazed his skin; a slight deviation of one centimeter would have caused bleeding.

It was eerie, indescribably eerie.

Luo Di did not continue the pursuit, but instead used the momentum from his turn and slash to pull away.

"Something felt off just now. Why didn't that guy make a move while circling around my back? Wait... the attack has already happened!"

Luo Di looked up at the death row inmate not far away. Above his shoulder, something stained red floated. Its outline was barely visible because of the blood, and it seemed to be an invisible finger.

Tick-tock!

Fresh blood dripped down.

A burning pain came from the side of my chest.

Looking down, Luo Di saw that his heart had been pierced through to the left, leaving a hole about the thickness of a finger. The entire piercing process was so rapid that he didn't even notice it at first.

If Luo Di hadn't reacted quickly and turned his body immediately, his heart would probably have been pierced.

"This is what they call a partial spirit!?"

Luo Di merely glanced down at the wounds on his body, and the death row inmate vanished again and reappeared beside him, as if there had been no movement at all—it was too fast and eerie.

Luo Di was forced to turn and strike.

The situation is exactly the same as before.

The death row inmate's senses were highly developed. He leaned back to dodge the slash, but at the same time, the invisible fingers stabbed at him.

At the critical moment,

Luo Di knew very well that his sword swing distance was insufficient.

He no longer gripped the knife handle tightly, but let go, allowing the butcher knife in his hand to fly away.

Whoosh!

The high-speed spinning butcher knife struck the edge of the specially reinforced octagonal cage and became embedded in the wire mesh.

As Luo Di completed his throw, he once again increased the distance between himself and his opponent.

He was struck again by a finger on the left side of the fifth segment of his spine. Fortunately, it did not penetrate, but left a bloody hole about three centimeters deep.

A shallow cut appeared on the condemned man's neck.

Before the blood could flow out, the bleeding stopped from the inside.

It looked as if multiple fingers were moving inside the condemned man's body, directly blocking the bleeding point from the inside.

The prisoner himself reached out and touched the wound on his neck, tilting his head slightly in disbelief.

Looking at the other party's disdainful expression.

A trickle of steam was seeping from between Luo Di's teeth, but he quickly suppressed it.

Calm!

He controlled the Hell Strength that could erupt at any moment, maintaining his human form.

He gently waved his right hand toward the location of the butcher's knife.

Pig skin interacts with the pituitary gland.

"Hmph!" came a loud squeal from the pig.

The butcher knife, as if alive, flew back to Luo Di's hand thanks to the elasticity of the cage net.

This person not only possesses dangerous spiritual body parts, but also has [sensory perception] as his specialty.

The suppression of his senses ironically enhanced his perception for close-range combat, allowing him to detect even the blink of an opponent. He could choose to move swiftly the instant I blinked or the moment my gaze left him, appearing as if he were teleporting.

Any slight shift in gaze would be caught by his fingers and tongue.

Approaching the target undetected, then piercing through with a swift finger.

Since I can't see the spirit part, I can't devise an effective battle plan... I really want to just [split its spine] and kill this guy.

There was no extra time to think; the other side could launch a surprise attack at any moment.

Luo Di made a very dangerous decision, a decision he had never tried before, and the only decision he could make if he wanted to win this fight.

Just before the other party was having their neck injury treated...

The pigskin on Luo Di's arm began to flow backward, returning to the shape of a pig's head as it was cut into the butcher's knife.

Holding the pig's head in both hands,

"Don't even think about messing with me! Help me with everything you have; kill this thing, and I'll give you extra rewards."

After faintly hearing a pig's squeal in response...

Raise the pig's head high,

Quickly slip it on.

The warm, slightly damp opening remained open to Luo Di.

It fits perfectly and slips on instantly.

Upon witnessing this scene, many viewers covered their mouths in shock, and some even stood up in excitement.

Even in the members' area, many people got up and went to the window to observe carefully.

It is extremely dangerous to put Corner-transforming item directly into the head.

If you're not careful, the pituitary gland can influence and take over your entire brain.

Even if Luo Di has the support of Hell and is not affected by the corner, he might still go mad because of this pig hair and perish together with him.

but,

The dangerous situation did not occur.

Zhu Bo was terrified of Luo Di from the bottom of his heart. He dared not do anything against the rules and had no courage to die together with Luo Di. It seemed that he had been domesticated into a pet in some way.

When the pig's head was put on, a certain binding reaction instantly spread throughout the body.

As the skin around the neck completely adheres...

"Full Body Pig Skin"

A thick layer of fatty pigskin covered his entire body, making Luo Di look even fatter.

at the same time,

Both hands seemed to undergo special changes:

Right: The palm and wrist area are longitudinally split, and an extended version of a butcher knife is squeezed out from between the flesh.

Left: The arm sinks down, a large hole appears in the palm, and something slips out from inside.

Clang! Clang!

The two-meter-long curved iron chain fell to the ground, with the other end attached to the palm and held tightly in the hand.

Luo Di himself gained a "Slaughter Vision" through the eyes of the pig's head.

Finally, the spirit floating behind the death row inmate was clearly seen, a product of the Phobia-concretization.

"This guy was terrified of his fingers when he was young..."
