"Pituitary Space"

Luo Di, now asleep, returned to his Consciousness Space.

Killing Kimberley, the trainer at the Orphanage, provided the pituitary gland with the killer's nutrients, which were also the most suitable nutrients, greatly stimulating the growth of the posterior part of the pituitary gland (>50%).

This time it's different.

Standing here, Luo Di felt a rare sense of pleasure, unlike any he had ever felt before.

Perhaps it was because of the long-standing resentment that had accumulated in such a harsh environment as the Orphanage.

Perhaps he had long disliked Kimberley and witnessed his misdeeds firsthand.

Perhaps this was the first time Luo Di had used a truly meaningful "killing technique" against Pseudo-Human, applying it perfectly and delivering a fatal blow. It was like the exhilarating feeling of having practiced a type of question many times in school and then effortlessly solving the final exam question in one go.

Or perhaps it was the first time that he had used the fear trait against a real enemy, giving Luo Di a strong sense of immersion, as if he had become a killer in a movie. The whole process was as easy as filming a movie, a complete overpowering and slaughter.

This feeling of pleasure is like some kind of stimulating liquid flowing through my body.

The pores widened, drawing out sweat and making Luo Di feel hot. His back began to twist back and forth like an arthropod, causing his body to twist as well.

This is a subconscious behavior that arises from a feeling.

At this moment, the pituitary gland seemed to interact with the spine, and the two different systems seemed to resonate with each other because of this massacre.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Di finally stopped twisting his body and carefully analyzed his current physical condition.

"The pituitary gland (seed) has received more than half of its nutrition, and its need for 'fear nutrition' is even greater."

This Orphanage is a perfect opportunity to provide the pituitary gland with the ideal nutrients from the killer, which will help it grow better.

We could try to connect the mask to the spine in some way, which might actually allow two systems from different worlds to intersect.

The combination of hell and fear—who knows what kind of product it will give rise to?

Let's do our best before heading to [True Hell], and while we're at it, clean up the malignant tumor in Moon City.

Luo Di did not conduct any consciousness exercises in the Pituitary Space tonight.

In his view, his current condition is more than enough to deal with this group of scoundrels. As for the "interaction" between the pituitary gland and the spine, there's no need to rush it. Just like tonight's victory over Kimberley, the two will naturally intersect, and there's no need for deliberate training.

"That's enough for now. Get some rest. Once the Venerable One finds this place, we'll wipe them all out in one go and completely eradicate the organization behind them."

Just as Luo Di's consciousness was about to exit the Pituitary Space,

In a flash, he glanced at the enormous pituitary gland that was displayed there and noticed a detail that was very easy to miss.

Move to the side of the giant pituitary gland, look at a slightly smooth part, and reach out to touch it.

"Um?"

The touch feels completely different from the surrounding area; it's smoother, warmer, and more delicate...

More importantly,

This sensation was so familiar to Luo Di that he could never forget it.

The sensation was exactly the same as when I once cut open the class monitor's head in the classroom and removed the pituitary gland.

Of all the pituitary glands that Luo Di had ever come into contact with, only the class monitor's pituitary gland was so pink and smooth, like the flesh and blood of a newborn.

"A part of the class monitor! How could it be left here? Is it because I once swallowed the class monitor's pituitary gland, and even if it only remained in the gastric mucosa, a portion of it was digested by the gastric juices?"

Or perhaps, during our previous collaboration with the sorority, the class monitor deliberately left something inside me.

During this time, I've been "disguising" myself at the Orphanage, which has made my role as class monitor even more obvious... If that's the case, things might become easier from here on out.

Luo Di tried to activate this part slightly, and his body immediately received the corresponding camouflage feedback. Although it was far from being as skillful as the class monitor's, it was enough for some small scenarios.

Three hours have passed since trainer Kimberley died.

Wendy has finally perfected the disguise of the Corner Space, and it can change according to her imagination, just waiting for the Venerable One to appear.

Contrary to expectations,

The Orphanage did not conduct a full search; instead, a bubble-like membrane rose at the edge, enveloping the entire facility.

Wendy leaned against the window at the edge of the Equipment Room, watching the membrane rise outside.

"I clearly spread the news of killing the trainer, yet the Venerable One is not in a hurry to come. Instead, he has sealed this place off and confined me inside, deliberately putting psychological pressure on me like this?"

If I were to act alone, I would easily be put under pressure.

That's perfect! That way, Mr. Di can get some rest.

A hint of melancholy flashed across Wendy's face as she thought of this.

"However, this level may not be enough, it may not be enough to catch the Venerable One, this real big fish, in one go. I must make a final plan, I must make my master make up his mind."

A plan that belonged only to her was rapidly forming in her mind, making the worst-case scenario ahead, and it was also the only solution that could reach the deepest levels of the organization.

She had waited too long for this day.

Wendy looked at Luo Di, who was fast asleep on the table.

"Squad leader..."

Luo Di suddenly uttered a word in his sleep, startling Wendy once again. This was the third time he had uttered that word.

[The following morning - 07:30]

Nameless Orphanage, Assembly Hall.

All activities are suspended today, even breakfast has been skipped.

All the staff and personnel of the Orphanage gathered here.

Orphaned students and non-trainer staff were divided into two groups.

Six dedicated trainers stood at the edge of the Assembly Hall to ensure order.

In addition, there were about thirteen other murderers exuding a strong aura, lurking in different corners of the Orphanage, some even on the roof, observing the situation inside through the windows.

During the group check, only three people from the entire hospital were absent.

One was the Kimberley trainer who was killed, and the other two were the apprentices that Luo Di and Wendy were disguised as.

All eyes were focused on the stage in the Great Hall of the Assembly Hall, where a pure white curtain hung down, obscuring a mysterious figure.

It was because of this person's presence that all the teachers and students kept their heads down.

First, the children went up on stage one by one.

Children as young as four or as old as fourteen wore school uniforms (pure white long gowns with high collars and a cross symbol on the chest).

Once they are on stage, they kneel before the curtain with their eyes closed.

A pale arm would then extend from behind a curtain and gently touch the children's foreheads, verifying the Dominance Imprint set in their brains, or as if drawing some strange symbols with its fingers.

After the touching is finished, all the children will kneel down and kowtow to express their gratitude.

Meanwhile, during the verification process, they could also hear a sound similar to walnuts being played with coming from behind the curtain.

After the examination of the orphans was completed, a voice that was neither male nor female came from behind the curtain.

"Everyone is doing well, and I don't want our learning and growth to be delayed by a little disturbance. The Orphanage needs to continue operating."

This morning's classes were all replaced with a movie screening. The children were required to stay in the screening room and were not allowed to leave for the entire morning.

Now hurry up and take care of your physical needs, then get to the screening room within ten minutes.

Upon hearing the news that they wouldn't have to train this morning and would even be able to watch a movie, the children were overjoyed and quickly left the lobby area.

Here, only trainers and ordinary staff remain.

"Children are the foundation of the Orphanage, and we must never let them suffer even the slightest harm."

Let's handle the search for Miss Wendy ourselves, and try to do it quietly without causing any unnecessary disturbance.

Whoever finds Wendy will receive my reward.

All the adult staff and trainers also went up to the stage to receive His Holiness's blessings.

As fingers drew something on their foreheads, their pituitary glands seemed to be fully activated, and their thoughts connected with each other, linking them with the murderers who had long been lurking in various parts of the campus.

An Local Area Network existing within the brain has been formed.
