Unstable Projection

The Underground Eden

Because it features many risky projects similar to Fighting Arena,

There are seven areas where lives are at stake, and injuries occur frequently.

Therefore, this underground area is equipped with a medical department of the highest level in Pluto City, and some doctors are even directly transferred from Melli University Affiliated General Hospital.

The Fighting Arena owner had contacted the medical department before the match ended, arranging for top-level personnel to be on standby at the scene. After the match, Luo Di was immediately sent for top-tier surgery.

The most serious injuries are Skull Damage, including a transverse penetrating skull and a perforation at the top.

Even the surgeons in charge of the operation felt extremely uncomfortable watching it. If such a skull injury were even slightly deeper or off-center, it would damage the brain and lead to complete death.

It's hard to imagine what kind of madman would push himself to this extent.

Because of the existence of the Sisterhood, Luo Di cannot use the Hell Spine to help him recover for the time being, and can only undergo surgery in a normal human body.

The Skull Repair Surgery took more than four hours.

Because of the unique nature of the underground city, Luo Di maintained the mask even during surgery to preserve the mystery of his identity, a requirement that Isabella strictly enforced.

As for the pig's head, it didn't take advantage of the situation; instead, it obediently peeled itself off.

Only after confirming the success of the surgery and that Mr. D's condition was stable did the boss leave with peace of mind.

Upon returning to his office, the boss immediately sent the video recording of tonight's game to the City Investigation Bureau and the HR department of Mercury Group, believing that such talent deserved to be given special attention and development.

Mr. D's future development is limitless. Once he gets a suitable pituitary gland and is absorbed, activating the [System], he will be far superior to 90% of investigators, and will even have a great chance of going to the capital.

Strangely,

Neither the Investigation Bureau nor the Mercury Group reacted strongly to the video recording, stating that it could be handled as a 'normal recruitment' process.

Inside the ward.

Luo Di, who was given general anesthesia, is still in a coma.

The Three Sisters were gathered around the hospital bed.

Logically speaking, Luo Di's assessment should have already concluded. He has reached the level of a ' Reserve Partner,' and his identity as a 'human' has been confirmed.

After all, he still didn't demonstrate any additional abilities even at such a critical moment.

She neither absorbed the pituitary gland nor was she a World Connection, and the identity the sorority found through other channels was completely legitimate.

But there's one more thing right now.

That was to conduct a detailed physical examination on Luo Di, without using instruments, but directly through physical contact examination of his body.

The report was originally intended to be given to Shia, who was in charge of the matter, and shared through the sisters' Mind Link to prepare for the gathering.

With the arrival of our Sister Eye, this tactile physical examination will be replaced by a more thorough Visual Scan.

At the bedside,

Sister Eye's body was bent at almost a 90° angle, her black hair hanging down on Luo Di's body. With her only eyeball facing forward, she carefully scanned his entire body, sweeping over almost every area.

The relevant medical examination reports are gradually forming in my mind.

The class monitor stood at the back, quietly waiting for the physical examination to end. The arrival of the Sister Eye was completely unexpected, but her expression, hidden beneath her latex suit, was unusually relaxed, showing none of the tension she had displayed while watching the game from the private room. It seemed she had confirmed something very important.

at last,

The Sister Eye's eyes swept across the mask.

Mr. D's facial information was also obtained in detail.

However, this face did not match Luo Di at all. It was a young man's face with scratches on his right cheek and an unusually fierce expression.

After the inspection, the Sister Eye gave an OK sign.

Shia gently placed her arm on the class monitor's shoulder, "You really managed to find a partner during this last period of time. Bring them over to the gathering in a week; the other sisters should want to see them too."

"Okay, see you in a week."

"Ah Yan, let's go."

As the two left the ward, a single eyeball appeared on the back of the Sister Eye and blinked twice at the class monitor to signal goodbye.

After confirming that the two sisters had completely left the hospital.

The squad leader quickly took off the rubber suit covering his entire body, and a burst of hot air was immediately released, as the rubber suit was already saturated with sweat.

She changed into a loose and breathable hospital gown, moved the chair next to the bed, and leaned over the headboard.

He gently placed his palm on Luo Di's forehead.

Just like last time, they injected streams of life extracted from the nursing home into it. Because Luo Di's physique far surpassed that of ordinary people, he needed even more nutrients.

During this process, the class monitor became increasingly tired and gradually fell asleep.

Luo Di.

The fight brought a large amount of nutrition to the spine, bringing its saturation level to 50%.

The saturation level has reached half.

Perhaps due to the injection of general anesthesia, the drugs act on the brain.

Through the combined action of the spinal nerves and the dormant brain, Luo Di's consciousness was projected in an unstable state onto a vast, distant world, a world filled with heat and dryness.

The current environment has the following three characteristics:

1. "Red Soil Plains"

The soil itself is not red; it is red because it has absorbed a lot of blood.

2. "Corpses everywhere"

They were not human remains, but Humanoid Existence of varying sizes, most of them over three meters tall.

They wore Hell Armor that clung to and grew on their bodies, resembling knight's armor, with a wild and combative style.

They all share a common feature: a prominent, outward-protruding Spinal Structure on their backs, varied in shape but devoid of life.

They seemed so powerful, yet they are all dead now.

3. "The Obscured Sky"

The sky was obscured by some kind of black dot, and darkness enveloped the earth.

Because it was an unstable projection of consciousness, Luo Di didn't seem to have fully come over, far less stable than when he went to the torture chamber.

The images Luo Di saw were intermittent, and all he heard was static.

He looked down at himself and was surprised to find that he was also wearing crimson armor, with rotting heads whose faces were indistinguishable hanging from his waist, and a long-handled weapon resembling a chainsaw tightly in his hand.

[war]

Luo Di roughly understood the current situation; he was on a battlefield.

As he realized this, large groups of fully armed Spine Warriors passed by him, including Giant Giants over tens of meters tall, who used their hammer-like arms to beat huge War Drum Scalp Sutured at their waists, boosting morale.

It's strange that,

Luo Di only saw the spine, but not the enemy.

Suddenly, he remembered something and looked up sharply.

The Black Dot-like Objects that obscured the sky were not dust, but some kind of living organism.

They were flies Fly Bugs with Black Wings, carrying bloated bodies that constantly oozed pus.

From their ulcerated abdomens grow Twisted Soft Arms, each holding a Living Spear capable of firing plague.

The gun's magazine is connected to their bodies.

Bullets carrying Fly Larvae were fired downwards.

Luo Di instinctively raised his hand to block.

Bullets that hit the armor bounce off, explode, or fall into the red soil, taking root and sprouting into larvae.

However, the bullets that pierced through the gaps in the armor and landed on the body surface immediately entered the body.

Instantly, Luo Di felt as if countless flies were multiplying inside his body, frantically crawling out from between his eyes, nose, and mouth. He could even hear the sounds of them gnawing on his internal organs and sucking his brain.

Die!

Buzz!

Luo Di woke up with a heavy, nauseous mind.

Before him was no longer a blood-red battlefield, but a cold hospital room and Isabella sleeping beside him.

Seeing that the class monitor was sleeping soundly, Luo Di did not wake her up.

Unsure whether the sorority was still monitoring him, he didn't use the strength of his spine to accelerate his recovery. He simply lay there quietly, recalling the blurry and unstable Hell Projection from before.

"Is that... the situation of the Spinewalkers that Mr. Hook mentioned? Some kind of war? I seem to have been projected onto one of the soldiers."

What, then, are those rotting, live flies?

Luo Di wasn't afraid of the rotting, maggot-infested death; instead, he began to anticipate the fullness of his spine, hoping his consciousness could be perfectly projected onto it.

To understand the so-called spine,

To clarify one's own growth path and the Rank System of hell,

To participate in this abnormal war and massacre,

Luo Di firmly believed that such battles would allow his spine to grow stronger and further solidify his image as a serial killer.

This will enable him to quickly acquire the true ability to explore corners and even fight against them.
