Failure

Wire binding, a device for torture.

Before the Special Dead arrive,

More sophisticated animal traps that do not emit heat were created by Luo Di and placed in several inconspicuous areas.

Hua Yuan also witnessed the entire process of constructing the torture device. Looking at the animal trap wrapped with wire and sharp serrations, even she could smell the threat and experience phantom pain.

"You're actually a 'Connector'? You're definitely not some nobody from the shadows."

"Yes."

"Hiss~ I'm getting so anxious right now~ I really want to finish things here quickly so I can interrogate you properly..."

≮Heheha≯

The dead man's laughter echoed from the depths of darkness, interrupting Hua Yuan's words.

"They're here!"

At the edge of sight, in the depths of darkness.

The masked corpse was approaching, running at an incredibly fast speed in a strange posture.

Hands held upright in Hand Blade shape,

Extremely large arm swing motion,

The feet stomped quickly and forcefully on the ground, each step leaving black footprints that prevented flowers and plants from growing.

The speed was astonishing; almost the instant he ran out of the darkness, the distance had already closed by ten meters.

To maintain top speed, the deceased did not carry the menacing black knife, nor did anyone know where he had hidden it.

Luo Di immediately gave Hua Yuan a look and began to fight.

The two immediately retreated quickly in a certain direction, deliberately leading the deceased to a certain area... and they also deliberately slowed down their speed to a level where the deceased would slowly catch up.

He was about to be caught.

When they were less than five meters apart.

The deceased's foot stepped onto the highly camouflaged metal surface, triggering the trap.

The spring, made of hellish material, suddenly contracted, carrying the clip.

Bite!

There was no sound of bones and flesh breaking, but rather a strange metallic clanging sound.

The animal trap, capable of easily snapping Pseudo-Human of the same level, was now stuck! The serrated edge could not penetrate the victim's lower leg, it only cut through the skin.

Something inside the deceased's body, or rather, the hardness of his own body, blocked the animal trap.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that there seems to be a strong, dark color flowing under the skin.

Similarly,

The wire released by the animal trap cannot penetrate it, so it cannot inflict pain and can only barely serve as a restraint.

But at least it stopped the thing, drew the deceased's attention to his feet, and removed the most threatening black knife from his body.

Excellent opportunity

Luo Di and Hua Yuan attacked simultaneously from the left and right flanks.

Bite!

The same strange sound of hitting, and a very wrong feel to hitting.

The scorching hot butcher knife, emitting white smoke, struck the victim precisely in the neck.

The neck, which should be the most vulnerable part of the human body, was only cut less than two centimeters deep. The feeling of impact was not like flesh at all, but rather like a hard object of unknown material. The dark color flowing from the wound made Luo Di's scalp tingle.

Hua Yuan on the other side encountered a similar situation.

The "Invader Stance" she is currently displaying represents one of the most powerful physical forms, choosing to pierce the opponent's side abdomen with a Hand Blade.

What appeared to be an ordinary Hand Blade was actually covered by a layer of extremely concentrated spiritual membrane on the surface of her arm, possessing extremely strong "invasive properties".

Any object touched, whether fresh and alive or inanimate and without organic life, will be violated, and its surface structure will disintegrate instantly.

Hua Yuan's aggressiveness is precisely what has secured her position as the current number one in the sorority, a position that even previous members cannot match.

Since she developed her "Mind Corner," she has been invading everything around her, unstoppable, and has hardly encountered any setbacks.

but...

When her Hand Blade into the victim's abdomen, the anticipated scene of invasion and penetration did not occur.

The spiritual membrane, representing "aggressive attributes," loses its original effect the moment it cuts through the epidermis and touches the subcutaneous structure.

That dim glow caused the spirit to disintegrate, wither, and become completely ineffective.

Not only did they fail to harm the deceased, but they also broke Hua Yuan's finger.

"Unassailable!?"

Hua Yuan couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. She had fought against all sorts of powerful sisters, and even Pseudo-Human from other organizations, but she had never encountered anything like this before.

Her invasive powers are extremely high; anyone hit by her will suffer.

But the dead man before her seemed to be her nemesis, as if he had been created specifically to target her, like her natural enemy.

≮Heheha≯

The dead man's laughter was like a bone-chilling cold that penetrated his ear and froze his brain.

Two arms, exceeding the capabilities of ordinary people, stretched into the pitch blackness where there was no light. There was nothing there, yet two black knives appeared out of thin air.

The dead are able to be in harmony with darkness, to use darkness, and to transform darkness into a weapon through death.

but,

Luo Di's side is even faster.

When the trap touched the victim's flesh, Luo Di had already estimated the victim's "hardness." The flesh material was not human at all, but rather resembled the black coffin from before.

The failed decapitation attempt further confirms the high level of physical resilience of the deceased.

Luo Di immediately changed his strategy, and the butcher knife transformed back into the shape of a pig's head.

"Zhu Bo, lend me all your strength!"

Hmph~ The pig's head in my hands immediately transformed into two "rubber gloves" worn during slaughter.

Clang clang~

Butcher's Hook Chain grew from the left arm, the curved hook looping around the victim's neck.

Luo Di had already reached a distance of five meters, grabbed the other end of the chain with both hands, leaned back, and made a hammer throwing motion.

"Hua Yuan!"

With a loud shout from Luo Di,

Hua Yuan jumped up on the spot and kicked with both feet!

It was no longer an invasion, but a pure accumulation of power in his two legs, a soaring kick! The kick landed heavily on the dead man, and a ring of air could even be seen spreading out from the point of impact.

The deceased was kicked backward, losing his balance, and before he could swing his black knife, he was still in the way.

Luo Di seized the opportunity and spun his body around his right foot.

The dead man, who had lost his balance, was lifted off the ground by this force. Before he could even swing the black knife, he was thrown out.

Throw it in a specific direction, to a place where a giant bear trap has been buried beforehand.

However...

Whoosh!

The deceased, who was flying in mid-air, actually extended the black knife and stuck it into the ground, forcibly stopping his backward flight and landing steadily.

But when he looked up again and saw the mask inlaid with silver coins in front of him, the two living people had vanished.

This time,

The deceased stopped laughing and instead rubbed his fingers against the wound on his neck, trying to get rid of the unpleasant heat and stench. He had lost his patience.

No longer running

They no longer went to the nearest coffin.

Instead, he stood in the darkness, his body gradually merging into it, with only his mask falling to the ground, seemingly unable to be taken away in this way.

This is his least favorite way to move around; after killing two living people, he will come back to retrieve the mask.

In the forest.

Two figures were moving quickly and trying to stay as far away from the coffins they encountered as possible.

Hua Yuan looked at her empty severed arm, then at the completely fractured fingers on the other side, and shook his head helplessly.

She had accepted the fact that the violation had failed, and her mind was now focused on something else.

Suddenly, Hua Yuan turned her head and stared at Luo Di, who was running parallel to her, with a serious expression that was neither seductive nor offensive.

"Mr. Di... can I trust you?"

Luo Di didn't respond, but merely glanced at the other person with his the Devil eyes.
