[Ritual Chamber]

There is no light source here, and all the sisters need to get a kerosene lamp outside the door.

The interior wasn't even tiled; you were walking on soft, damp mud as soon as you entered.

Uncle Zombie was digging a pit in the very center, just big enough for one person to fit in. Next to it was a burlap sack, which looked like it contained offerings.

The Seven Sisters spread out in a circle and sat on the ground.

Instead of the various ritual props that Luo Di had expected, they didn't bring out the usual set of items.

Candles, bones, or magic circles

Just sitting quietly like this.

Hua Yuan had the longest tenure and was also the most dangerous, became quiet as soon as she entered the Ritual Chamber. Like a well-behaved girl, she was the first to arrive and sat down with her legs crossed.

Once the pit was dug, Uncle Zombie untied the burlap sack next to him.

"Um?"

Luo Di had assumed it would be a human woman who had been kidnapped innocently.

To everyone's surprise, what appeared before them was a composite corpse that looked like it had been pieced together from different body parts, with obvious stitching marks, barely managing to reconstruct the structure of a human body.

No hair

Hands and feet are asymmetrical

Even their eyes are different sizes.

It appears that each part of the body was taken from a different corpse.

The class monitor's voice came through the act of holding hands:

"You still think you're a living person, huh? Ordinary humans can't withstand the arrival of Grandmother, not even a small part of her incarnation."

The containers needed for the ceremony come from the lower-level selection of the sorority.

I told you about this before, right?

The Five Hundred Sisters were selected through a screening process, and Girl who were rejected couldn't be wasted. The best parts of their bodies were removed, and pituitary glands were inserted into them.

This way, they can be assembled into a container large enough to hold their Grandmother.

This container is priceless; it contains at least fifteen mature pituitary glands.

Even so, the Grandmother's Incarnation Descent for less than a month.

Luo Di's face, hidden beneath the mask, twitched slightly. The terror of his Grandmother grew even stronger in his mind, and he became increasingly worried about the upcoming partner test.

The squad leader's voice continued:

"The so-called ceremony doesn't actually require us to do anything. The sisters are gathered here simply to welcome their Grandmother."

When the ceremony ends and Grandmother's Descent from her seat, remember to bow with me.

You absolutely must not have any resistance or hostile thoughts.

Luo Di knew what to do. Although he hated everything related to the corner, he wouldn't be foolish enough to commit a crime here. Since he had decided to disguise himself, he would do it perfectly.

He was just curious about how his Grandmother would arrive since there was no Bright Side ceremony.

Just then,

Luo Di suddenly noticed something.

The pit dug by the Uncle Zombie did not follow the "Corner Law".

The four corners of the pit intersect perpendicularly, meeting the conditions for forming a corner. However, due to the lighting provided by Uncle Zombie and the kerosene lamps in everyone's hands, this structure cannot yet form a "Physical Corner."

Once the light source is turned off, the conditions will be met.

The Seven Sisters maintain a distance of more than five meters from the pit, so they will not fall into it even if it is generated in a corner.

really,

After moving the sewn-up corpse container into the pit, Uncle Zombie immediately left the room with a kerosene lamp.

After exchanging glances to confirm their identities, the Seven Sisters simultaneously extinguished their kerosene lamps.

The darkness brought silence.

Everyone remained silent, even the most basic breathing ceased.

Quiet waiting is the most sincere way to welcome someone.

This was Luo Di's first encounter with the "Physical Corner." Even though he couldn't see anything and the corner wasn't affecting him, the hairs on his entire body stood on end.

He used all his strength to control his back, to suppress the spinal movement caused by the Danger Perception, and to maintain a human posture.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

A soft sound broke the silence.

The sound did not come from anyone present.

If you listen carefully, you'll find that the source of the sound seems to be very far away, far beyond the distance that the Ritual Chamber can provide.

It would be difficult to hear such a soft sound unless it was completely silent.

As the sound grew closer and clearer, it could be determined that it was the sound of bare feet stepping on tiles, but there was still a distance of over a hundred meters.

I don't know why.

When Luo Di tried to hear the footsteps clearly, his mind automatically conjured up related images.

[aisle]

Inside a narrow, twisted, and dark passage that allows at most one person, or even more.

Something is moving inside.

An unknown entity is emerging from the depths, heading towards the exit.

The closer the other person gets to the exit, the narrower the passage becomes, even beginning to compress and distort her body, eventually pressing her into a curved surface less than ten centimeters thick.

Even so, it continued to crawl.

The other person didn't feel uncomfortable at all due to the physical compression; on the contrary, they were looking forward to this outing.

We finally arrived at the exit...

Click!

The kerosene lamp placed between the pits was lit.

All the sisters lit their kerosene lamps to dispel the darkness and seal off the corners.

The body that was used as a container was gone, replaced by a woman who was over two meters tall.

Wearing a huge white round hat,

A gauze curtain was lowered around the outside of the round hat.

The gauze curtain hung completely to the ground, concealing the Grandmother's body.

By the firelight, one could vaguely see the graceful figure hidden behind the gauze curtain, which was completely incompatible with the word "Grandmother".

"Greetings, Grandmother!"

The sisters knelt down at the same time, their foreheads completely touching the ground.

Luo Di and his Reserve Partner quickly followed suit.

The Grandmother neither responded nor observed the sisters in front of her. Instead, hidden by the veil of her hat, she gently stroked and admired her own body.

The sisters' kneeling and worship lasted for ten minutes.

A mature female voice finally came from under the curtain, and what shocked Luo Di the most was that his Grandmother was speaking Chinese.

"This container is of very high quality, allowing me to descend to the age of 30, and it also brings me a relatively complete ability. It's so nice to be young."

"Get up, my granddaughters, let me take a good look at you."

Only after receiving their Grandmother's permission were they finally able to look up.

Between the hat curtains,

The Grandmother seemed to open a special eye, which quickly scanned everyone as her head turned 360 degrees, thoroughly examining her granddaughters' condition. She lingered briefly on the class monitor, but quickly looked away.

"That's great. None of you have stagnated from last year. Some of you have even made significant progress. The two new granddaughters are also quite good."

To my delight, this time someone brought a partner besides Hua Yuan. Isabella even found a decent one! Since this is your first time bringing a partner, I'll be a little more lenient with the requirements.

"Thank you, Grandmother."

"As usual, you all go and prepare for the banquet!"

The two ' Reserve Partner ' will remain here for my inspection. Hua Yuan's will come first, and the other will wait outside.

Luo Di was somewhat relieved that he wasn't the first one, which gave him some time to adjust. He followed the class monitor and left the Ritual Chamber first.

Perhaps because of his Grandmother's presence, the class monitor didn't even dare to use physical contact to communicate telepathically, only briefly sending a message as he left the Ritual Chamber and the door closed:

"Stay calm, follow your instincts, and we'll see you at the dinner later."

The class monitor had no intention of lingering, after all, Hua Yuan was right next to them, and lingering too long and whispering might provoke the other party to target them.

However,

The sisters haven't left the current entrance hallway yet.

Luo Di had only just stood outside the door and hadn't fully adjusted yet.

A sound of flesh exploding came from inside the house.

Grandmother's voice then resounded throughout the entire mansion:

"Hua Yuan, if you don't have a good partner next time, there's no need to bring one."

This type of modified being, with a high level of impurities in its body, is a technological creation rather than a fundamental male trait. It offers no benefit to your development and at best only fills the void of unproductive desires.

Hua Yuan was instantly terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. It was as if a shadow resembling a palm flashed across her eyes, and her legs tightened and straightened.

"I understand, Grandmother. I will be more careful next time."

"Well, please come in next." Grandmother didn't blame him too much; she actually quite admired Hua Yuan.

Luo Di, who had just left the Ritual Chamber less than a minute ago, was about to go back. The sisters in the passageway couldn't help but turn around and her gaze towards Luo Di.

But most of them contain the feeling of "regret".

It seemed to them that their Grandmother was in a bad mood today.

In the past, even if the partners brought by the sisters did not meet the requirements, they would not be killed directly, but would be used for other purposes.
