The corridors, covered with various biological tissues, flow with pure white color.

The stairwell was filled with the remains of people who had been torn apart, crushed, destroyed, or died of old age.

The sisters each displayed the most suitable "Phobia-concretization" for killing, and in one go they killed their way from the bottom floor to the hundredth floor of the hotel.

Hua Yuan, displaying an aggressive stance, carried Fishbone Stick as a reward. His cruelty was so extreme that even the naturally combative Shia was speechless and repeatedly dodged him.

The sticks were not only used for swinging and smashing, but also inserted into the bodies of larger monsters with "holes" to stir and ram them, indulging in true invasion and slaughter.

Not only that.

Shia also noticed that tiny flower stamens seemed to have grown from the palm of Hua Yuan's hand holding the stick, which allowed her to swing the stick at strange angles and faster speeds, something she had never seen before.

certainly,

Zombie Shia's killing prowess was no less than her opponent's.

What she pursues is "killing efficiency," and she only wants to get to the top floor as soon as possible to stop the final plan of the monster's transformation.

Her body underwent a deep modification by a zombie virus.

It formed two deformed and enormous arm structures, abandoning the structure of a human hand and turning the entire forearm into a huge, proliferating bone blade.

Moreover, Shia also underwent a deep fusion with Sister Eye.

Unlike Luo Di, who had an eye growing between his eyebrows,

A bio-engineered eyeball grows from the center of Shia's chest, working alongside her to manage her body and granting her more precise movement.

Isabella followed at the very back of the group.

All ten fingers were transformed into the shape of syringes, used to "age" those who had been chopped down but were not yet dead.

At the same time, it can also extract the nutrients that represent "vitality" from these organisms and continuously inject them into the sisters to ensure that they are always in a 100% killing state.

When faced with unexpected danger, Isabella can also create spatial layers to deflect attacks or move her sisters' positions.

The four people worked together flawlessly, reaching the pinnacle of Pseudo-Human.

Along the way, they almost completely purged all the hotel staff who had caused the disaster and distortion, leaving none behind.

Upon seeing the floor sign for "101", Hua Yuan lifted a foot and ripped the door open, sending it flying onto the red carpet more than ten meters away.

Suddenly.

The previously noisy fighting environment suddenly became quiet.

I had assumed the top-floor passageway would be filled with the same kind of "descendants" corrupted by calamity.

But the red carpeted corridor in front of them was completely empty, just like when they were on a normal vacation. The corridor appeared perfectly normal, without any unusual structure indicating any biological changes.

The red carpet stretched towards the end of the long corridor.

Their suite was about fifty meters away.

Hua Yuan did not step directly onto the quiet passage, but waited for something until the eyes embedded in Shia's chest spoke.

"Safety."

As the last note faded, Hua Yuan, dragging a stick, was already standing at the suite door, and her sisters arrived one after another.

Take a deep breath.

Although Hua Yuan knew very well that Mr. Di was most likely not alive, she still held a sliver of hope that he could be saved. Of course, she had already prepared for the worst, and was prepared to kill Mr. Di.

He lifted his leg and kicked again.

Bang! A loud metallic sound rang out, and the door dented, but it didn't fly out like before.

"Um?"

Hua Yuan's kick was not just ordinary brute force, but carried the attribute of "aggression".

This attribute works exceptionally well when applied to concepts like "entry" or "intrusion." Especially considering the current attempt to breach the door, it was surprisingly unsuccessful with a single kick.

The sisters waited on the sidelines without intervening. They knew very well that if even Hua Yuan couldn't break through, they had even less chance of breaking through.

At this time,

A syringe fully loaded with a high concentration of medication was inserted into Hua Yuan's neck.

Instantly, black blood vessels bulged on Hua Yuan's body surface, and something even slowly rose up between her skirts.

Hua Yuan looked surprised. "Oh? You actually used such a precious essence on me?"

"It seems, Isabella, you also believe Mr. Di is doomed and beyond saving, right? How cruel. If he were my partner, I wouldn't give up so easily."

As soon as he finished speaking,

With a kick fully charged, he slammed it into the door again.

Bang! The door was severely dented and deformed, and it felt like the entire passageway, and even the entire hotel, was helping to share the impact.

Five kicks in a row.

Once the Screws on the door frame are completely loosened,

Bang! The entire door was uprooted and kicked inside.

The familiar suite was filled with unfamiliar people.

The house was filled with villagers whose bodies were painted in various colors.

Their state was very strange; each of them was covering their faces with their hands, holding their heads and making expressions of great pain, while letting out heart-wrenching screams from their throats.

It seems that their most important ritual has failed.

Hua Yuan and the others had already turned their gazes to the center of the suite.

That place where mysterious ritual patterns are drawn.

A torn-off, still-warm blood-stained, intact jaw lay on the ground.

With his eyes closed, Luo Di reached into the skull and pulled out a brain that was full of color and covered with tentacles—a brain completely transformed by the calamity.

The brain was also squeezed hard when it was pulled out.

This leads to a large amount of cerebrospinal fluid leakage and structural deformation.

While the brain is damaged,

All the villagers screamed and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

As his brain was removed, Luo Di's body collapsed heavily to the ground. Having lost his brain, the most crucial organ, his vital signs quickly returned to zero.

Even the most elite and unique Pseudo-Human Pseudo-Human face certain Dead End if their core brain is destroyed.

The damaged, colored brain that Luo Di had extracted fell to the ground with a "thud".

This is what everyone has been searching for all along.

The ultimate goal of "Corner Wanted Order".

A monstrous avatar descended in the form of a brain or head, attempting to possess Luo Di's perfect Connector body.

Unfortunately, his perfect plan still failed.

Through sheer willpower and the influence of some unknown forces within the hotel, Luo Di achieved self-awareness within a hallucination, choosing suicide over being Body Snatching by the other party.

This extreme behavior not only led to the failure of the Body Snatching, but also caused the monster incarnation to be squeezed by Luo Di's hand before his death, resulting in some damage to its Brain Structure.

Left with no other choice,

This brain can only use the backup plan.

Among these villagers, who are untouched by the world and have Divinity Worship, there are also "substitutes," who, though not as perfect as Luo Di, are enough to complement him.

The alternative is right next to it.

The village chief of the island village collapsed in the spot closest to Luo Di.

The brain immediately crawls over using the Color Tentacles.

At the same time,

Hua Yuan's club, the bone blade that Shia threw from her arm, and the syringe all headed towards the head.

Just as they were about to kill the unprotected mass of Brain Tissue,

Buzz!

A hexagonal, honeycomb-like colored barrier appeared around the brain, easily blocking all the projectiles thrown and successfully entering the village chief's body.

Seeing that it was too late to stop the brain's actions, Hua Yuan immediately gave the order:

"Kill all the remaining villagers here, don't give them any chance to resupply!"

Everyone switched to area-of-effect attack mode, and even Sister Eye started casting curses. The unsuspecting villagers lying on the ground were quickly wiped out.

At the same time, the village chief's body began to twist wildly, and the color barrier could stop any attack that came near him.

Buzz!

The body that had fallen to the ground suddenly stood up.

Its pupils were brimming with color, and its mouth was filled with tentacled structures.

The brain and the village chief seemed not to be fully integrated yet. Instead of fighting the sisters here, he rushed to the balcony in a twisted posture and jumped directly from the 101st floor.

"Chase!"

Having finally found the monster's avatar, they naturally couldn't let it escape. If they waited for it to recover from its injuries, victory would be extremely difficult. This was an opportunity created by Luo Di, and they had to seize it.

The Sister Eye said softly:

"I... have already marked it... and shared it with you."

A map of the island appeared in the minds of all the sisters, with red dots indicating the locations of the monsters.

Any target that is stared at closely by Sister Eye will be permanently marked.

The sisters rushed to the balcony together, ready to jump down in the same way to make sure they didn't lose sight of their target.

As they passed by the body of Luo Di, whose jaw was missing, whose skull had been hollowed out, and who only retained a trace of body warmth.

Snap! One of Hua Yuan's back molars was bitten off.

Anger and murderous intent permeated his soul.

"I'll give you Maya!!"
