Different Screening
Luo Di awoke at dusk on the second day of the gathering.
It took me a full 15 hours to recover from the complete exhaustion of my energy.
"My fingers are still cramping a bit..."
Luo Di struggled to sit up, only to discover that his body, wrapped in blankets, was completely naked, even his boxer shorts were gone.
My eyes quickly noticed that my clothes had been washed and dried, and were folded on a seat not far away.
He was alone in the master bedroom; the class monitor was nowhere to be found.
Just as he got up to get his clothes.
Creak~ The door opened!
The class monitor, holding a huge roasted lamb leg, just came back from outside.
The light from the hallway streamed into the room through the crack in the door, casting vertical lines of light on Luo Di.
The body, covered in torture scars and with perfect muscle curves, was presented to the squad leader from the side.
She was stunned by the sight of this body, which was of extremely high artistic value.
Luo Di was also taken aback for a moment.
But neither of them showed any shyness, nor did they try to hide their presence or turn their gaze away.
Luo Di dressed at a normal pace, while the squad leader carried a ten-pound roasted lamb leg into the room.
"You're finally awake! You must be starving, right? The sisters are having a bonfire dinner downstairs. Everyone caught some wild animals in the nearby mountains and forests."
We also have roasted wild boar, roasted rabbit, and roasted bear meat. Would you like me to get you some more?
"That's enough, just give me some water."
"The spring water in the bathroom tap is drinkable. Let me get you some. You eat first."
Luo Di was indeed very hungry; every cell in his body was yearning for food.
He picked up the lamb leg and began to take big bites.
I don't know if it was because of the special flame, but the whole leg of lamb was completely roasted and infused with a spicy seasoning, making it incredibly delicious.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly~ Be careful not to choke, no one's going to take it from you."
If you're still hungry, I'll go downstairs and bake you another one.
Luo Di didn't respond. He took the water and poured it into his mouth, gulping down a liter of water in no time.
"Please get me another drink."
"Tsk~ It seems the service you provided to your Grandmother last night really drained you completely. I've never seen you so hungry."
Despite the complaints, the water was collected quickly, and the squad leader gently patted Luo Di's back at the same time.
Luo Di's eating speed slowed down slightly after he had almost finished eating the whole leg of lamb, and he finally became willing to communicate.
"Don't I have to go down to the so-called bonfire party?"
"Grandmother has given you special permission not to participate in any gatherings today. You can just stay inside and rest. Even I am blessed to be able to stay by your side."
The squad leader got up and went to the bedroom door.
The abilities of "Disguise" and "Nursing Home" are released simultaneously, completely isolating the current master bedroom from the outside world.
Luo Di could clearly sense that the bedroom had been separated, forming an "Independent Space." Not only that, the class monitor also casually tore away Isabella's skin, reconstructing flesh and blood to revert to Wu Wen's appearance.
Looking at the class monitor who had returned to normal, Luo Di asked, "Is this a good idea? Even if we combine two abilities, there's still a chance it will be discovered, right?"
Do you think I would do something without thinking it through?
You'll know as soon as you go downstairs and take a look. Tonight is the girls' favorite game, Truth or Dare. They're completely engrossed in it, and no one will come upstairs.
Moreover, my Grandmother personally declared that no one was allowed to disturb the two of us tonight.
Besides, I was completely confident in my disguise when I brought you along to the sorority; if I were to be seen through, I would have been exposed long ago.
"Um."
Because of his Hell Physique, Luo Di even chewed and ate lamb leg bones, leaving his face covered in grease and his hands reeking of fish.
When Luo Di went to the bathroom to wash the oil off his face and hands, and pushed open the door to return to the bedroom, everything in front of him had changed.
It was no longer the large bedroom for the gathering, but became [Wu Wen's bedroom].
The class monitor was wearing a pink bunny pajama and sitting against the headboard.
One hand lifted the blankets.
With his other hand, he slapped hard on the empty space on the bed.
Even the toes sticking out from the end of the blankets seemed to be waving hello.
"Come over and have a chat, let's talk about something 'important'?"
"Um."
Luo Di did have many things he needed to clarify with the class monitor, especially the true purpose of going to the sorority.
The two of them sat on the bed, their eyes fixed on the foot of the bed.
Just as Luo Di was about to get straight to the point, the class monitor's question interrupted him:
"Speaking of which, how did you come up with the idea of using the torture methods you learned from Mr. Hook on your Grandmother? Aren't you afraid that Grandmother 'll get angry and kill you?"
"It was because you said the disguise I set up in my brain wasn't perfect that I suddenly came up with this idea. I didn't expect it to work out by accident; my Grandmother happens to have this kind of fetish, so I guess I was just lucky."
"Tsk~ You've always been lucky."
However, it's also good that you have your Grandmother's attention. This will make it harder for Hua Yuan to harm you, saving you a lot of trouble and making the subsequent 'infiltration' go more smoothly.
"By the way, what do you think of Hua Yuan? If Grandmother hadn't come last night, I probably would have made a whole movie about the two of you."
Luo Di had a very deep impression of Hua Yuan, or rather, he remembered every detail of her appearance the moment he saw her, and gave a very objective evaluation:
"Very strong."
Or rather, none of the sorority members are weak; they are all quite unique. Hua Yuan is considered the most dangerous among them, as if she always exudes an aura that suggests she's constantly plotting to invade others.
Moreover, her appearance seemed to be automatically imprinted on one's consciousness, impossible to erase.
"Look at me."
At the class monitor's request, Luo Di turned his head away.
The other party had actually transformed into Hua Yuan's appearance, with a perfect replica of his face shape, temperament, features, and even the mole under his eye.
Strangely, even though it was exactly the same as what he remembered, Luo Di felt a strong sense of incongruity, and the difference was immediately apparent.
The class monitor quickly reverted to Wu Wen's appearance.
"Even if I do the most perfect disguise, I can't impersonate Hua Yuan. I believe you can tell the difference at a glance."
Hua Yuan can project her appearance directly into the viewer's mind through some ability, and it will take root deeply. Moreover, whenever someone thinks of her, their thoughts will automatically beautify themselves.
This is an innate ability of hers, extremely domineering and dangerous.
She has been in the sorority for six years.
Over the years, no one has been able to surpass her in gatherings.
Hua Yuan was also the Grandmother favored and liked the most.
When I joined the sorority as Wu Wen, I was favored by my Grandmother because I was of Chinese descent, just like Grandmother, and because of my unique talent for disguise. As a result, I was often targeted by Hua Yuan during that time.
I was asked to do a lot of very unpleasant things, which was one of the reasons I left the sorority.
"Six years already? Why aren't you in the corner?"
"She should have gone a long time ago, but there are certain conditions that need to be met to participate in the [Crevice screening], and the Sisterhood will make other arrangements for someone as talented as her."
It could even change the selection criteria for promotion to some extent.
"This thing can be modified?"
"The corner is not rigid. As long as it does not affect fairness, the main focus should be on screening."
The Crevice screening" we learned in textbooks is the most common promotion model, and it's the way most Pseudo-Human choose to acquire Corner Identity.
However, if there is intervention from a higher level, such as the presence of Grandmother in a corner, it can change the selection criteria to some extent, and may even bring about other more difficult selection modes, helping the sisters obtain the Corner Identity.
For any core member of the sorority, the Grandmother would painstakingly devise the most suitable "Crevice screening" for each person.
This is also one of the important events of the annual gathering.
Grandmother will likely arrange a special promotion selection for Hua Yuan this year. After all, her arrival this time was in excellent condition, and the abilities she brought were more complete, allowing her to significantly alter the selection criteria and expand the scale of the selection process.
"Expand the scale? What's the difference between screening a larger number of people and the smallest screening of four people like at No. 4 Middle School?"
"The difference is huge."
If the scale is too large, and the Pseudo-Human participating in the screening are all very strong.
Those who are ultimately selected will receive a higher-level "Corner ID card," enjoying preferential treatment from the moment they enter and ensuring better future prospects. It will also make it easier to reunite with the Grandmother in the corner and head to the depths of the Corner, to the true sorority.
Most of the women who had successfully been promoted in the past gathered there.
And the Grandmother herself will far exceed your imagination...
However, Luo Di's focus was not on his Grandmother; his thoughts had returned to the Fourth Middle School, and he was thinking of someone.
"This means that [Teacher Guo] only obtained the most ordinary, lowest-level Corner Identity."
"That doesn't matter. The so-called Corner Identity only affects the early stages. It can help the sisters adapt to the corner more quickly and prevent them from dying as soon as they enter."
For someone as special as Teacher Guo, who might even be tainted by divinity, entering the corner in any capacity wouldn't have much of an impact on him.
He will inevitably gain a foothold in the corners and will inevitably go deeper into the depths to become a very terrifying existence.
I never expected that such a small school like No. 4 would be so full of talented people... But it's good.
Teacher Guo has a good relationship with us, especially you, Luo Di. The corner is a vast, surreal space beyond your current imagination; it would be extremely difficult for one person to survive in it.
If you ever travel there as a human in the future, remember to make good use of this relationship.
