Looking at the butcher's knife that was being swung continuously,

Seeing all sorts of animal traps placed on the ground,

Watching the Butcher's Hook Chain being thrown out and pulled back repeatedly,

Hua Yuan could never understand it.

She and Luo Di had already verified that no matter how much that color was destroyed, it could be reassembled, and the existing methods were simply not enough to kill it.

Why does Luo Di still work so hard?

With his talent, if he survives, he might be able to kill this thing single-handedly in a few years, and even be able to explore the corners as a human.

Why ruin your promising future here?

The Wanted Poster has no direct connection to Luo Di and he cannot profit from it, so what is his purpose in coming to the island?

Hua Yuan returned to the original question, and at the same time, she stopped thinking about it.

"Ugh, I'm really fed up with you. So what if I die? It's rare for me to want to live a good life, so dying with you isn't a big deal."

Hua Yuan didn't waste much time thinking. She kept up with Luo Di's speed again and cooperated with him in this "ineffective" killing, even though the final outcome was already decided in her heart.

It's impossible to replicate the perfect kill from before.

Having just experienced hellish contact, the monster's avatar has temporarily given up on possessing Roddy's body.

It will no longer venture into that extremely dangerous brain region, and will maintain a distance of more than three meters from Luo Di throughout the entire process. Even if it accidentally steps into a trap, it will decisively abandon the corresponding leg.

[adapt]

It is becoming increasingly adapted to the frequency of battles between Luo Di and Hua Yuan.

[Focus]

It is increasingly focusing its attention on Luo Di, the most threatening of the threats.

The village chief was already very familiar with the current battle situation.

Even if Luo Di wanted to cut the village chief's body, it would be a problem, let alone kill him. The only thing he could probably cut off were those almost endless Color Tentacles.

If it is delayed,

They are doomed to die.

But Luo Di's expression remained unchanged, even more determined... as if the time he had been waiting for was about to arrive.

Sudden,

A twitching sensation in his spine made him stiffen for a moment, and a tentacle almost grazed his forehead, a close call.

Luo Di knew very well that his time was running out. If he continued to delay, even his well-fed spine would reach its limit, and there wasn't much time left for spinal surgery.

"Hua Yuan!"

The sudden shout made Hua Yuan turn his head to look over.

The two were highly compatible, exchanging information with just a glance... Hua Yuan received only a single keyword.

[Explosive Acceleration]

She is already in her best condition. If she were to accelerate her pace further, her body might experience a brief period of weakness afterward.

Although she strongly doubted whether such a desperate gamble would be effective, she still chose to believe Luo Di.

The instant the eye contact ended,

The two of them spared no effort to exhaust themselves, unleashing their power simultaneously, achieving an even greater speed than before, to the point that parts of their bodies could be seen twisting and breaking apart.

They were once again at close range, ready to kill each other.

This opportunity may only come once, and be the last.

[Joint Kill]

The exact same trick as last time.

At the same time, Luo Di brandished his butcher knife and grabbed his Torture Chamber Arm, while Hua Yuan released the densest concentration of flower stamens in an attempt to tear the man apart.

However, a strange light immediately flashed across the village chief's face.

It adapted to the two's outburst immediately.

Snap!

The village chief extended both arms.

One hand firmly gripped Luo Di's wrist as he swung the butcher's knife.

With his other hand, he disassembled it into a series of tentacles, which he then firmly wrapped around Luo Di's dangerous Torture Chamber Arm, which was trying to crush his head.

At the same time, numerous Color Tentacles grow from its back, intertwining with the stamens released by Hua Yuan. It is superior in both strength and corrosiveness.

He perfectly parried the attacks of the two.

The current situation almost certainly means the complete failure of the battle plan.

Their nearly exhausted burst of energy was completely blocked, resulting in a stalemate. They only needed to wait, and in just a few seconds, they would both be completely drained.

Hua Yuan also saw his own death at that moment.

But she didn't blame Luo Di at all.

This was her own choice.

Before she died, she looked at Luo Di, trying to get a response from him, so that they could die together.

But,

The expected eye contact didn't elicit the desired response; Luo Di remained focused ahead, still fixed on his opponent...

Wrong!

Using the perspective provided by his Sister Eye, Hua Yuan carefully examined Luo Di's eyes and discovered that although his gaze was directed straight ahead, there was a slight deviation.

Although his eyes were on the village chief, his focus was actually on what was behind the village chief.

What is that?

Hua Yuan didn't deliberately turn her head to look; instead, she stared into Luo Di's eyes, trying to observe the image reflected in them. This might be Luo Di's true battle plan.

"This is..."

Without a sound or a sound.

A person stepped out from the wooded area behind him.

I had seen Hua Yuan at the hotel before, but I didn't remember her well. I vaguely remembered that she was in charge of delivering food.

As the person drew closer, Hua Yuan was able to see his appearance clearly through the image reflected in Luo Di's eyes.

Short blonde hair

Having freckles

She has a pair of sea-blue eyes,

It was indeed a hotel food delivery worker.

The waiter remained absolutely silent, his disguise so exquisite that he seemed to blend seamlessly into the environment.

Walking through the woods, your skin becomes like tree bark.

When you step on the beach, your feet are covered in sand.

Her breathing was like normal airflow.

They approached the village chief step by step from behind.

This time she wasn't pushing the food cart.

Instead, he held up a parasol to block out the starlight with one hand and made a shushing gesture with the other in front of his lips, a gesture very similar to Luo Di's previous gesture.

Suddenly.

Hua Yuan recalled a former sister, a Girl who was deeply loved by her Grandmother and who could threaten her position in the sorority to some extent, but was strongly rejected by her grandmother.

A Girl who was born with a talent for disguise died completely in a seam test after losing her position as one of the core sisters.

Wu Wen ...

The blonde girl's disguise had reached its peak.

Since arriving on the island, she has never been illuminated by the stars, unaffected by any calamities, or associated with any monster incarnation.

She stayed in the hotel and secretly conducted personnel checks.

Most importantly,

In the monster's perception, the Pseudo-Human squad that accepted the Wanted Poster consisted of one man and four women.

Isabella has been killed.

The zombie had only a piece of rotten flesh tucked in Hua Yuan's pocket.

The remaining personnel were right in front of him; if he waited just a few more seconds, the stalemate would be broken and he would be killed.

The ingrained perceptions were already imprinted in the mind of the monster incarnate.

Moreover, his attention was completely drawn to Luo Di and Hua Yuan, who were fighting to the death.

All the groundwork has been laid.

Whether at the physical level,

At the level of perception,

Or at the psychological level,

The monster avatar was unaware of the approaching "sixth person" behind it, and did not even believe that there would be such a "sixth person".

When the blonde girl got completely close,

Buzz!

Hua Yuan's tongue, out of her control, darted out and hung outside her mouth.

The eye growing on the surface of the tongue represents the core eyeball of the Sister Eye, from which blood tears flow between the pupils.

The Sister Eye's observation and spying had reached their peak.

The final answer was glimpsed through the well opening.

She kept her promise to Wu Wen.

She shared with the sixth person behind her what she had glimpsed—the ethereal, hidden information about the positional changes and emergence times of the "pituitary gland" hidden among the colors of the starry sky.

The opportunity only comes once; once missed, there will be no going back.

However.

The Girl showed no hesitation or nervousness, just as she would be completely at ease when facing an entrance exam.

She had waited too long for this moment, and she knew very well that this was an opportunity that Luo Di had fought desperately for. She would never give up, and she would never miss it.

Calculate the timing,

Claws extended,

These are Wu Wen's unique claws, the "Hand of Makeup" she uses to enhance her body and perfect her disguise.

Its level of precision surpassed that of everyone present.

Only the index finger and thumb thrust forward.

Piercing the village chief's back skin

Inserted into that colorful flesh.

It touches the pituitary gland, which is in its "manifest phase" and is moving rapidly like the galaxy within the body.

The force and precision were just right.

Not too light, not too heavy

It neither caused the pituitary gland to slip away nor caused it any damage.

It's like two chopsticks firmly holding a peach pit.

This process was completed in less than 0.1 seconds, giving the monster avatar no chance to react... pulling it outwards and drawing it away.

Whoosh!

The colored juice splattered onto the umbrella.

The illusory yet real pituitary gland was held in mid-air by the Girl.

She held nothing back out of greed, nor did she display any superfluous changes in expression.

With her pink lips slightly parted, she easily called out a name:

"Luo Di".

The instant she shouted, she moved in a flash to Luo Di's side and completed the hand-to-hand transfer of the pituitary glands.

The latter firmly grasped the left hand, which represented the torture chamber, and a fundamental iron wire appeared in the palm of his hand, wrapped around the pituitary gland and began to Tool Construction.

It seems that the design of the torture device had already been conceived in his mind long ago.

A miniature iron coffin in the style of the Iron Maiden was created to seal the pituitary gland inside.

Pituitary Gland Recovery

This is for the recycling of monster avatars.

Nationwide, they are few and far between.

Once the seal is complete, it signifies the end of everything.

Logically speaking,

Once the pituitary gland is detached, the monster will lose the [medium] of the projected world, its avatar will completely dissipate in a short time, and its main body will also suffer a certain degree of damage.

Strangely,

Although the colors were fading, the village chief in front of me still maintained a remarkably high level of stability.

Everyone remains vigilant, as there is always the possibility that the other side will launch a desperate attack.

Who knew?

Clap clap clap~ A round of applause came from the front.

On the neck of the village chief's vessel, the colorful head constructed from tentacles actually sprouted two small hands from its mouth and began to clap.

His eyes shone with joy.

After the applause ended, a voice came from inside, in standard American English:

"Teacher Guo's judgment is indeed excellent. You two are truly the most outstanding students at No. 4 Middle School. Congratulations on successfully completing the entrance examination that was forced to be postponed."
