Pituitary Space

Luo Di had already returned to the house.

The clothes, stained with Lake Water and covered in water plants and hair, have already been thrown into the washing machine.

It is autumn, and the room temperature is 13℃.

Wearing only a pair of shorts, Luo Di sat in front of his laptop and started uploading all the videos he had captured.

Of course, the video did not record the final hunt; it only ended after Luo Di fell into the water and saw the woman in the lake. It is unknown whether the video would have been approved.

Bored, Luo Di started doing One-finger Push-up.

Just as I was getting into it, the computer gave me a notification.

A large dialog box popped up.

"Review approved, reward credited to your account! Thank you for your cooperation."

"Hmm? That's really impressive... Looks like I'll have to find out more about Moon City and this website tomorrow. The website can actually arrange for Pseudo-Human encounters directly within Moon City, and these are Pseudo-Human that can fully express a concrete form."

Several images flashed through my mind as I recalled tonight's events.

Young corpses bound to the bottom of the lake by seaweed.

A long-haired woman fleeing in panic through the water.

They were caught up.

His face was pinched by five fingers.

Tentacles inserted into the brain

The fear attack on the Pseudo-Human directly caused the pituitary gland in the brain to dissolve, as if it were a result of excessive fear. Moreover, these dissolved pituitary glands could be absorbed and devoured by the tentacles.

This sense of satisfaction far surpasses the release of fear directed at humanity; indeed, Pseudo-Human are the best nourishment.

Afterwards, I no longer felt intensely hungry.

After completing the offline event, Luo Di returned to the 4hs homepage. The [Moon City Special Zone] had turned gray, and when the mouse hovered over it, a message appeared saying, "It will be open to you again tomorrow."

"It seems that I can only reply to the special section once a day, which is not bad. I still have some time, so I'll browse the website store before going to bed."

The online store is also divided into six sections based on different horror culture types.

Luo Di decisively selected the assassin section.

The subcategories include "figurines and statues", "clothing and accessories", "simulation props", "books and stationery" and "lifestyle items", all of which are related to the assassin theme.

When Luo Di was still a high school student, he could only afford to buy some CDs due to financial problems, and occasionally he would get a poster as a bonus from the shop owner.

What is displayed before us now are all things that were once hard to buy, or even discontinued.

I scrolled through the online store page, my eyes darting around.

The time spent shopping here is even longer than the time spent going to the park.

100 Horror Beans seem like a lot, but they're gone in no time after buying very little. Especially noteworthy is the Crystal Lake Jason 1:6 scale sculpture, one of only 100 available worldwide, which costs 50 Horror Beans.

Luo Di also bought a murderer-themed mug, even the handle was made into an axe handle.

And a themed hoodie, along with a specially made rainy night killer raincoat.

After Luo Di placed the order, a wave of fatigue washed over him instantly. He glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen and realized it was already 8:13. He hadn't felt like much time had passed, but he had been browsing for more than three hours.

He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

The moment your eyelids close, your brain enters a sleep state.

He thought he would fall asleep in the blink of an eye, but Luo Di's consciousness fell into a strange dream, or perhaps traveled to a place formed by the pituitary gland connecting to a corner.

"Transit space"

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye.

Luo Di's consciousness had already landed in a circular and spacious hall.

Nerves, as thick as an arm, hang down from the open, arched roof.

A huge, shriveled pituitary gland with a grayish sheen was suspended in the air, just one meter off the ground.

"Hmm... this is my pituitary gland? This is even more visually apparent than the growth of the spine in hell. Is this a benefit of Earth's native system?"

Luo Di took the initiative to step forward and reach out to touch the surface of the pituitary gland.

I could clearly feel a series of subtle pulses in my palm, like a heartbeat.

At the same time as the hand reached out to touch it, the pituitary gland, sensing the owner's contact, immediately grew tiny tendrils that wrapped around the entire arm.

An intuitive panel displaying the pituitary gland's status appeared in Luo Di's consciousness.

Stage: Seed

Category: Cthulhu Mythos "Star Color (Personal Color)"

Fear-related: The Killer (Black Gate)

Quality: Myth

Saturation: 4%

Basic effect: Tentacle manipulation (low-level)

Mythological pituitary glands require more and more advanced fear-related nutrients to replenish their function, and should be associated with killer fears as much as possible.

*When the saturation reaches half, the individual will be granted a [Characteristic Ability] at the seed stage. This ability is related to how you supplement pituitary nutrition, fear association, and pituitary type.

At that time, the pituitary gland's nutritional needs may increase, or there may be special conditions and requirements.

"So detailed... This definitely allows for a more intuitive understanding of the Corner System I possess, much better than the spine, which requires self-exploration and Hell Object."

Furthermore, can you still gain any real special characteristics if you only feed halfway through the meal? Like a spinal surgery?

Could this make me more like a real serial killer?

Luo Di withdrew his hand, and the tentacles that had grown on the surface of his pituitary gland retracted at the same time.

Gazing at this enormous pituitary gland existing in the Consciousness Space, one can vaguely see some of its internal structure.

It can be simply divided into the "anterior leaf (the area where hormone cells are located)," the "Posterior Lobe (the area for nutrient absorption)," and the "outer membrane."

The anterior lobe is the source of energy, responsible for the release of related energy and the regulation of hormones.

Although the pituitary gland has just formed, careful observation can already reveal the corner structures (quasi-three-dimensional symmetric coordinate system) in the anterior lobe region.

"Whether it is a normal human who obtains a system by ingesting the pituitary gland, or Pseudo-Human develops Psychological Corner, the [system] revolves around fear."

The difference is,

Humans are less affected by whispers in the corners, are better able to maintain their individuality, and are free to choose the direction in which their fears develop.

The Pseudo-Human are often greatly influenced and grow up around what they fear most. Their entire growth process is guided by the Sumikko, and after their pituitary gland matures, they will have the opportunity to participate in the seams, or even to carry out the more difficult "Corner Wanted Order, thus gaining the Corner Identity.

The ultimate goal of both should be the same: to go deep into the corner and touch something... I'll only know what exactly to do when I go to the corner myself.

Let's not think too much about it now, let's get the immediate issues sorted out first.

Once I've achieved a partial saturation and acquired the Characteristic Ability, then I'll consider the integration and interaction between the pituitary gland and the spine.

As Luo Di's conscious mind tried to withdraw, this area of consciousness immediately shut down... Buzz! He opened his eyes and woke up.

It was already dusk on the second day.

The weariness in my mind had been completely cleared away, replaced by a strong feeling of hunger.

In the past, Luo Di would have gone downstairs to find food immediately, and would probably have gotten several servings of grilled Brain Flower or a whole brain hot pot or something.

But there was something else going on. His intense interest overcame his hunger, and he sat down in front of the computer before he even had his pants on.

www.4hs.***

The [Moon City Special Zone] has been reactivated, and Luo Di can view it again and post comments at appropriate offline events.

Perhaps because it's early today, there are actually six offline tasks to choose from.

He simply ignored posts that offered rewards of no more than 100 Terror Beans.

As you scroll to the bottom of the webpage

Luo Di's eyes widened instantly, and he even forgot about his stomach that was constantly hissing.
