Interview

Luo Di heard the sound of flesh exploding, but when he entered the Ritual Chamber, he didn't see anything related to it.

Not only that,

The Ritual Chamber, which was originally bare and covered in dirt, has been transformed into a structure similar to the adjacent hall, with white floor tiles covering the floor and not a trace of blood.

Two chairs were placed opposite each other in front of the fireplace.

It was less of an assessment and more like an interview.

When Luo Di entered, he did not address his Grandmother, but maintained Mr. D's characteristic of not talking much, and simply nodded in the direction of his Grandmother.

After seeing his Grandmother's silhouette, visible beneath her hat flap, seemingly beckoning, Luo Di went straight to the chair offered to him.

As soon as I sat down,

The chair, which looks to be of normal size, seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Or rather, Luo Di himself is shrinking.

Until his body seemed completely trapped within it, as if he were imprisoned on a platform.

The Grandmother sitting opposite her appeared even larger, completely blocking out the view, and the oppressive feeling of her enormous form was suffocating.

Through the hat curtain,

Looking again at the outline of her Grandmother's body...

It no longer seemed to be a human, but rather an indescribable, pure monster...

An emotion called "fear" began to spread within Luo Di.

However,

Luo Di's obsession with the killer was beyond imagination; just feeling a slight sense of fear spreading through his body caused him to feel a strong sense of rejection and disgust.

Fear is absolutely forbidden from appearing in him.

Blood vessels immediately appeared in the eyes beneath the mask, revealing a bloodshot look.

The fear within me is being gradually erased.

The oppressive feeling from her Grandmother and the abnormality of the environment gradually disappeared.

Buzz! A ringing in my ears, then everything returned to normal.

Luo Di was sitting in his seat as a guest, and his Grandmother, who was sitting opposite him, was simply large in stature; through the hat curtain, all one could glimpse was a graceful human silhouette.

Mature and insightful words emanated from beneath the hat flap.

"I never imagined that my granddaughter Isabella, whom I once had the least faith in, would find such a wonderful partner as you."

That's good too. If you can achieve a high compatibility with her, it might help Isabella reach a higher level, and you yourself will also improve significantly.

I just noticed that she has made significant progress this year and has basically caught up with the other girls' level.

However, before formally accepting you, there's one last question I need to ask you.

Although the Grandmother said these words, she did not answer her question for a long time.

While Luo Di was waiting for the question,

The hat flap in front of Grandmother was slowly lifted.

A snow-white arm stretched out.

It looks exactly like a human female arm.

No abnormalities are apparent at this time.

But as the arm gradually extended and moved closer to Luo Di, an eerie atmosphere began to rise.

The two seats were about three meters apart.

While remaining seated, Grandmother's arm continued to extend outwards until it finally stopped in front of Luo Di.

It seems that this distance is not the limit of arm reach.

"Don't be nervous, there's just one question."

Open your palms.

The enormous hand was just big enough to pinch Luo Di's entire face.

palms close together

Luo Di wearing a mask, his Grandmother's hand seemed to penetrate him as easily as if it were liquid, and she pinched his skin directly.

It even felt like that hand could continue to penetrate the skin and skull and squeeze the brain inside.

that's all,

With her face still held tightly, Grandmother posed one last question, one that would determine whether Luo Di would be accepted by the sorority as their official partner.

"Tell me, besides becoming her 'partner,' what other purpose did you have in getting to know Isabella? Or do you have any other motives towards the sorority?"

Simply answer yes or no.

Luo Di instinctively wanted to answer "no".

After all, the class monitor had already set up a disguise for his mind. Assuming his Grandmother didn't see through it, he would be a persona of pure loyalty to Isabella, with no other purpose.

However, the words he was about to say were instinctively stopped by his tongue.

Luo Di that directly denying it would likely expose him, and his brain would be crushed instantly.

Because of this hesitation, the best time to answer has been missed, and any answer given later will likely arouse the Grandmother's suspicion.

what to do?

How can we break this deadlock?

The answer is yes or no.

A multitude of distracting thoughts swirled in her mind, Grandmother seemed to be nearing the end of her patience.

Despair!

Sensing Fatal Danger, the tongue slammed against the inside of the mouth with brute force.

The crisp clicking of the tongue echoed in his skull, slightly vibrating his Brain Tissue and calming Luo Di down. He remembered Mr. Hook's teachings and decided to take a desperate gamble.

"Have."

Grandmother was somewhat surprised by this answer, and the hand that was pinching Luo Di's face relaxed a little.

"No wonder you've been holding back for so long. So you really had another purpose? Tell me about it."

Luo Di opened his mouth as wide as possible from under the mask, the mouth with multiple hooks piercing his lip, letting the pain wash over his brain and immerse him in the agony.

"Pain... The reason I accepted Isabella's invitation, besides the romantic relationship, was that I wanted to gain more pain through her."

Grandmother looked at the design of the mask's mouth, sensing the current state of pain Luo Di was experiencing, she also became slightly interested.

"Pain? That's interesting."

I can sense that your body seems to really enjoy pain.

This is the first time I've met a male human like you. If you understand pain well, you should also know how to inflict pain on others, right?

How about I have a taste? Try inflicting pain on this arm of mine!

If things are interesting, we can head straight to the Banquet Hall to begin tonight's dinner. If I feel absolutely no pain, it means you're deceiving me, and the consequences will be very serious.

"Is it okay to do whatever you want?"

"Anything is fine with you. You can cut it or break it, but you probably wouldn't use such a basic form of traumatic pain, right? I hope you won't disappoint me. Come here!"

The hand gripping Luo Di's head slowly withdrew, shrinking back to the size of a normal arm.

Only her forearm was visible outside the hat flap, as she gently beckoned to Luo Di across from her.

Now that the most difficult Q&A session was over, Luo Di was no longer nervous.

He complied with his Grandmother's request, got up and approached her, and very gentlemanly took her hand.

Inflicting pain is a rather troublesome thing.

After all, Luo Di is currently in a disguised state and cannot use any Hellish Ability, including his Torture Chamber Left Arm.

They can only use other means to create "pain".

Luo Di definitely couldn't have done that a week ago.

Unfortunately, he had just finished four days of almost non-stop "Pain Training" with Mr. Hook.

Luo Di not only benefited from it, but also learned some professional techniques from Hawke that could inflict instantaneous pain.

These techniques were originally intended for Luo Di himself, to temporarily suppress his subconscious killing impulses and thus sever his connection with the hellish battlefield.

This technique doesn't entirely require Hellish Ability; Luo Di's right hand, with its implanted pituitary gland, can also do it.

Whoosh!

The sharp nails quickly pierced the back of Grandmother's hand.

Hmm? The Grandmother was a little disappointed. This level of pain didn't even qualify as a tickle, but since the other party hadn't finished yet, she waited patiently.

In her view, no matter how powerful a human is, at most they can only cause her a little pain, enough to achieve the effect of a bite.

The next second.

She felt that the other person's fingers seemed to have changed, like two nimble snakes crawling between the wounds on the back of her hand, becoming thinner and deeper.

"Oh, a demon seed?"

Just as the Grandmother was wondering,

Two slender, soft fingers pinched a special tendon between the metacarpal bones, which happened to be at a specific acupoint.

As her fingers pressed rhythmically, Grandmother's attention gradually focused, as if she were receiving a comfortable subcutaneous massage, with only a slight pain and mostly a feeling of comfort.

Just as she was beginning to enjoy this special massage.

Luo Di's eyes changed, and he exerted all his strength! He pinched the tendons and pulled them outwards!

Whoosh!

Skin tear,

The tendons and veins buried between the flesh and blood, between the bones, and under the skin were pulled out by the roots, all the way to the shoulder.

The original comfort was instantly twisted 180° and turned into extreme pain.

All the pain concentrated and erupted in this instant...

Banquet Hall

The sisters, who were preparing the dishes, faintly heard a strange, soft moaning sound. They didn't know where it came from or what its source was.
