The Only Hope

Two minutes ago, When the possessed Anna spoke of Gao Yuxuan's personal history from her mouth, Luo Di felt as if his entire being was frozen by extreme cold, and a tension called fear spread from the depths of his soul. Cold sweat seeped from every pore of his body.

Since the start of this practical exercise, he had never been this nervous, not even death had made him feel this way.

At this moment, Luo Di stared intently at the possessed Anna, his gaze fixed as if he were looking at the jiangshi from before. An extreme thought flashed through his mind.

"If I kill Anna, will this all stop?"

However, this extreme thought was immediately rejected by his inner self. He didn't even know why such a thought had arisen.

How to break this deadlock?

Without the research institute's help, how could he resolve this emergency?

Buzz! A flash of inspiration struck Luo Di's mind.

He remembered something.

He remembered the night a week ago when his vacation had just begun.

During his night run, a fellow runner, Luo Fei, had given him a personal business card and reminded him to call the number on it if he encountered any unexpected danger.

Due to the special nature of this practical exercise, Luo Di had kept the business card with him.

His memory was quite good. Just recalling this incident brought the relatively simple phone number to mind, eliminating the need to reach into his pocket for the card.

Currently, the possessed Anna was analyzing Gao Yuxuan's life, which presented a good opportunity to make the call.

Luo Di moved his hands behind his back as discreetly as possible, lightly touching his wristband to activate the phone mode.

Since the phone number was composed of the owner's surname plus numbers, the keypad projected by the wristband was similar to a keyboard.

If he didn't look while inputting, the error rate would be quite high.

And Luo Di was someone who rarely used his phone. Operating it with his back turned made it almost impossible to type the correct number.

He slowly moved his arm, bringing the projected mini-keyboard within his field of vision, hoping this process wouldn't be noticed by Anna.

Just as Luo Di lowered his head, trying to get a clear view of the letters and numbers projected by his wristband, In his field of vision, there was no projected keyboard at all.

Even the metal wristband he wore daily looked different. The cold metal had become ruddy, thickened, and felt like it was subtly wriggling.

This sensation quickly turned into an extremely nauseating soft touch.

His vision no longer showed a wristband, but a tongue wrapped around his wrist. He even felt as if this tongue could pry open his skin and burrow into his body.

Forcing him to immediately remove it, throw it on the ground, and stomp it to pieces.

Whoosh~ After taking a deep breath, he looked at the sole of his shoe. What he had crushed was not a tongue, but the wristband itself.

The change in the wristband made him realize that everything happening before him was an illusion, a mental influence exerted by this possessing demon, not something that had actually occurred.

Without waiting long, The demon's gaze fell upon Luo Di, and the conversation was about to shift to his personal history.

However, this gaze also quickly noticed something unusual about Luo Di, something it couldn't quite see through yet.

The possessed Anna twisted her body with seductive grace, her exposed tongue curling back and forth like fingers, beckoning Luo Di to approach her.

"Even now, I can't fully see through your [Essence]... Could you please come a little closer so I can have a good taste?

If you are truly special enough, perhaps we can make a deal.

Maybe, some of you might survive."

Luo Di didn't hesitate and stepped forward.

Gao Yuxuan, standing beside him, wanted to stop this dangerous action, but he saw Luo Di lightly flick his fingers on the hand hanging by his waist, as if signaling him not to make any move.

Although Gao Yuxuan couldn't guess Luo Di's intentions, he chose to trust him and remained in place for the time being.

He suddenly remembered Luo Di's indifferent and terrifying demeanor when they had worked together to handle the corpse before.

Could Luo Di be planning to...

Gao Yuxuan's eyes widened, the muscles in his calves tensing involuntarily as he intently observed Luo Di's every move.

At this moment, Luo Di had already approached the bedside, less than an inch away from Anna's bound wrists.

The demon's whisper came again: "Closer, bend down and bring your face near mine. Don't be afraid~ You've already touched me anyway, so touching me again won't matter.

Hurry up, I'm not a patient person. I might suddenly lose interest in making a deal with you."

Luo Di's thighs pressed against the edge of the bed, and his back began to curve.

His upper body, carrying him forward, gradually leaned closer to Anna on the bed.

The distance between their faces kept shrinking.

The bound Anna also began to sniff vigorously, inhaling something that only a demon could perceive.

Her mouth also opened wider during this process, as if tasting the most interesting scent from Luo Di, and finally reading Luo Di's 'story'.

"You!"

Just as Anna was about to speak, Luo Di, only a fist's distance away, interrupted her.

"Speak, what's the deal."

"So interesting~"

Anna, possessed, continued to change.

The pupil in her other eye also began to shrink, the wrinkles on her face gradually took on the color of scorched earth, and two mature 'Second Tongues' grew from her mouth.

"The deal is simple: you actively accept my [Possession], without any resistance... and I'll let your friends go, including Wenwen, who left the mansion long ago. How about it?"

"You'll keep your word?"

"Huh? You're in no position to negotiate with me, are you?"

Hearing this, Luo Di directly drew the machete from his waist. This move actually terrified Gao Yuxuan, who thought Luo Di was really going to kill his companion.

However, the blade merely hovered at Luo Di's own neck, slicing through his skin, and blood began to seep out along the blade.

"You'll keep your word?"

Luo Di asked again.

"How interesting~ Most young people like you are usually terrified of death, but you're actually serious. Don't worry, I'll swear to Lord Satan right now, as long as you let me possess you perfectly, I will definitely let your friends go."

"How do I do it?"

"Hmm~ I've already achieved a certain degree of 'fusion' with Miss Anna. It will be very difficult to transfer through sound alone, so I need you to actively cooperate with me for 'physical contact'."

"Touch your hand?"

"No... put your tongue in my mouth. That's the fastest way, and it will allow me to enter your deepest parts directly~"

The possessed Anna began to move her jaw, opening her mouth to its maximum extent.

Slurp, slurp~

The two tongues in her mouth rested against the cavity walls, one on the left and one on the right, seemingly awaiting the arrival of their "guest."

Luo Di took a deep breath, moved the machete, which had already cut his neck, back to his waist. He then thought that if he were possessed, this weapon might become a hazard that could kill his teammates, so he immediately threw the machete towards the wall.

His normal mental process and smooth actions wouldn't arouse suspicion in anyone.

The possessed Anna was no different, and her attention was entirely focused on Luo Di's tongue; she was eager to take over this special young man.

Meanwhile, Gao Yuxuan, who had been standing at the foot of the bed watching the entire scene, had been keeping an eye on the machete due to his earlier suspicion of Luo Di's potentially impure intentions.

Now, the machete was thrown towards the nearby wall.

Gao Yuxuan unexpectedly noticed something attached to the back of the machete, which fell along with it after hitting the wall.

A card, A special card with a name and phone number written on it.

He instantly memorized the number and understood Luo Di's true intention.

Gao Yuxuan, who came from an affluent background, had been exposed to electronic devices from a young age, and touch-typing was a basic skill for him.

Taking advantage of the Demon's complete distraction by Luo Di, he slowly moved his hands behind his back and dialed the phone number corresponding to the card.
