"Killer Technique"

Techniques aimed at killing humans or humanoid life are different from all other forms of combat.

Without rules or moral constraints, their primary goal is to kill efficiently.

This technique also highly promotes killing with bare hands, or rather, Orphanage are very insistent on teaching bare hands.

In their view, the sensory stimulation from bare hands is several times more intense than that from weapons, which can stimulate the growth of assassins more quickly and allow them to immerse themselves in the pleasure of taking the lives of others more quickly.

This killing technique was something Luo Di had never encountered before, but it was very suitable for him and for killing Pseudo-Human.

The three-hour sparring session ended with results far exceeding Luo Di's expectations.

Luo Di was almost completely exhausted and managed to fall asleep at 1 a. m.

However, his thoughts drifted to the "Pituitary Space," not because he had absorbed pituitary nutrients, but because he had learned "new things" during the three hours of combat practice.

These so-called killing techniques perfectly matched Luo Di's Fear System, even activating his pituitary gland.

Not only that,

The temperature throughout the entire Pituitary Space was rising, the heat emanating from the Metal Spine beneath the ground. The recent sparring had also excited the spine, giving it several urges to connect with the True Hell.

This is a rare situation where two different systems from different worlds resonate at the same time.

The killing techniques Wendy demonstrated include, but are not limited to:

Precise Eye Gouge, Rapid Throat Stab, Neck Snap, Spine Strike.

These techniques are simple and effective, capable of striking vital organs and causing rapid death, but they require extremely high skill from the killer.

Timing, speed, precision, and force are all essential. It requires additional practice on top of years of training, like in Orphanage, to be able to apply them perfectly in real killing.

It's impossible for Luo Di to master it in a short time; if he doesn't use it well, the effect is far less than ordinary slashing.

but,

One of the special killing techniques Wendy demonstrated was quite interesting, called "Heart Piercing." It was also the most threatening move during their sparring sessions.

The palm penetrates the skin and muscles from below the ribs, reaching the heart.

During the sparring session, when Wendy's palm was close to his lower ribs, even though Luo Di's tongue snapped open immediately, it was still pierced into his body, posing an extreme danger.

According to her, this move is the most difficult to practice. Among the serial killers trained in Orphanage, only a few can perfectly apply it in actual combat at the same level, as it requires an extremely high degree of precision.

It will still be very difficult for Luo Di to master it.

But he himself did not intend to practice in this way, and had other ideas.

The killer Luo Di wanted to portray wasn't targeting ordinary people, but rather Pseudo-Human, monsters lurking in the shadows. Such beings mostly no longer have the heart as their weakness, but rather the pituitary gland in the brain.

This technique needs to be renamed "Pituitary Piercing".

Luo Di's Torture Chamber Arm is mostly used for either wielding a knife, setting traps, or throwing hooks and chains; it doesn't have much lethality on its own and is only used to crush heads with brute force when dealing with low-level beings.

If this technique could be combined with the Torture Chamber Arm.

By combining the metallic properties of the arm itself, hardness, spikes, or even the Torture Device Creation, unexpected effects may be achieved.

While seemingly asleep, Luo Di actually spent the entire night in the Pituitary Space undergoing specialized training, repeatedly performing the same left arm movements to attack the imaginary enemy in front of him.

His greatest strength lies in doing repetitive tasks.

Because in Luo Di's view, as long as you keep repeating it, even the most unfamiliar things will become as familiar as breathing.

I don't know how much time passed, until I felt physical touch from the outside world.

wake up,

Open your eyes,

A Female Face appeared before me, her rotten teeth hidden because her mouth was closed.

Due to severe cognitive impairment and temporary blurred vision caused by a night of pituitary training, Luo Di mistook the blonde girl in front of him for another person in his subconscious.

"Squad leader..."

"Hmm? Master, who is the class monitor?"

The word "master" instantly jolted Luo Di awake, clearing his vision, and he immediately sat up in bed.

I looked at my watch and it was only 6:00 AM.

Since acquiring the Corner System through the Otherworldly Food, he hasn't gotten up this early in a long time.

Is it early?

"Yes~ The Orphanage staff have to get up very early to work. I have to go and take charge of the cleaning work. Master, you need to go to the canteen to help prepare breakfast."

Although orphans are not treated like normal people, they must have enough nutrition to grow.

I'll sneak into the archives today to find out the time of the most recent ceremony. See you after get off work!

"Um."

The two of them put on Head Balloon on them and disguised themselves as they headed to their respective assigned areas.

Arriving at the kitchen again, Luo Di, as usual, thawed pieces of the dead's flesh and sent them onto the conveyor belt, his desire to uproot the Orphanage and the organization behind it growing stronger in the process.

The day of disguise passed quickly, and Luo Di seemed to have completely adapted to the disguise, sometimes even really treating himself as an apprentice and becoming a member of the Orphanage.

It was as if he had a talent for disguise, and even his colleagues around him could not detect anything unusual.

[get off work]

Because a thorough cleaning of the kitchen was required today, Luo Di was forced to work overtime for more than four hours to finally clean up the foul-smelling kitchen.

It was almost 11 p. m.

As Luo Di walked back to his dormitory along the internal passageway of the Orphanage, he happened to hear a familiar voice, the sound of a movie.

He followed the source of the sound, deviating from his original route and unexpectedly ending up in a special area.

[Viewing Room]

The Back Gate happened to be ajar, leaving a crack.

Because the voice was so familiar, it drew Luo Di's thoughts in quietly.

Inside was a large area resembling a movie theater screening room, where all the children from the Orphanage gathered to enjoy their carefree time without training, watching a very famous B-movie - "Halloween".

It's also one of Luo Di's favorite killer movies. Although he's watched it more than ten times, he still loves it.

This movie theater cost a fortune to build.

Not only does it have IMAX-level projection equipment, but it also has perfect ambient audio output, which can simulate the realism of someone chasing you at the Back Gate, Luo Di it completely different from watching a movie alone at home.

The unprecedented movie-watching experience, coupled with the fact that it was his favorite film, made Luo Di instantly addicted.

But Luo Di's tongue still sensed something.

He didn't run away or hide, but stayed there pretending to watch.

Silently,

A white glove slid up his shoulder and was about to strangle his neck when Luo Di tried to dodge it by turning to the side like an ordinary person.

Before him stood a tall, thin man wearing a white porcelain mask. Luo Di had seen this man before when he was getting food in the cafeteria; he was one of the trainers at the Orphanage, and his status was far above Roddy's, the chef's apprentice.

The reason the Back Gate of the screening room was left ajar was because the trainer had just gone to the restroom.

A sarcastic voice came from beneath the mask.

"Inferior beings are not worthy of entering this place. Remember your job. If I see you again, you will be responsible for providing the students' food."

Because Luo Di was wearing a black mask, he did not respond verbally, but nodded and bowed repeatedly before turning and leaving.

But just as he was about to walk out the Back Gate,

Whoosh!

The other person's slender fingers dug directly into his shoulder, the nails scraping against the bone. Luo Di trembled all over from the pain, biting his mask tightly to barely keep quiet.

The trainer used his other hand to slightly move the mask off Roddy's face, revealing a sinister and murderous face, and brought it close to Luo Di's face.

"You didn't say a word. At least you should apologize to me. Besides, you seem a bit strange. You seem to be serving food faster than before."

"Sorry."

"Oh, your voice hasn't changed. It seems I'm being a bit too sensitive. We're short-staffed in the hospital lately, so I'll let you off the hook for now... Remember to be polite next time you see me."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Luo Di felt a sharp impact on his back.

The opponent kicked him hard on the spine with his heel; most people would likely be paralyzed. Luo Di barely managed to sit up, one hand on his lower back, the other against the wall, and left.

The trainer behind him simply adjusted his belt and returned to the screening room.

Click~

The dormitory door opened.

Wendy had been waiting in the room for four hours for Luo Di's return.

Moreover, she remained kneeling in the doorway the entire time, without moving an inch, just to welcome her master home.

But as soon as the door opened, she smelled blood—her master's blood.

The rapid excitement turned into endless rage, and his entire body began to convulse. Balloon-like bulges appeared in many parts of his body, like swollen blisters.

"This fingerprint... is it Kimberly's!?"

Just as Wendy was about to fight her way out, Luo Di grabbed her arm. Grayness filled her mind, suppressing the intense negative emotions within her.

at the same time,

One hand grabbed Wendy by the neck and lifted her into the air.

His grey eyes were fixed on her.

"I'll say it again, you need my permission to kill."
