As Luo Di's senses increased, and he could feel that the man in front of him, who was paralyzed on one side and could not even sit up on his own, was very strong.

The Throne Illusion we just saw was the effect of some kind of aura released by the other party.

He was unlike anyone he had ever met; he was terrifyingly strong.

He was injured like this for some reason, and even a prosthetic body cannot be installed.

It can be confirmed that the other party is not related to the True Hell, but it has a strong connection with killing, war and physical combat, which is why Luo Di felt a strong sensation in his spine.

With that, Luo Di was finally able to put his mind at ease.

As Mr. Hook said.

If it is indeed a World Anchor Point similar to the Fifth Hospital and related to the Spine People, it is estimated that the Hell Portal will be completed in a few years, and a large army will be on the way.

At least we don't have to consider such dangerous situations.

At the warden's signal, the prison guards waited outside the door.

Only the two of them remained in the office.

A powerful voice emanated from the warden's battered and emaciated body. "Is the massacre in Moon City more satisfying, or is a one-on-one pure hand-to-hand combat in the Fighting Arena more comfortable?"

Luo Di, dressed in prison garb, did not respond, but simply stared indifferently at the warden.

"Though your mouth doesn't answer, your body has given the answer... Yes, you're the prisoner I need. Tell me, what's your real purpose in coming here? Don't think I don't know; you were the one who suggested coming to my prison."

"I need to connect the world here."

The warden immediately understood the meaning behind those words. "It seems that the atmosphere in my prison is quite compatible with your world... I can provide the conditions, but I don't keep prisoners here for free, even if you are a person of special concern from above, even if they have only temporarily labeled you as a death row inmate and are waiting for the storm to pass."

You need to be valuable to the World Bureau and also to me.

I am very satisfied with what you have done for Moon City.

We are very satisfied with your performance in the Fighting Arena.

As he spoke, the warden used his only available right hand to project the video of Luo Di fighting underground.

"Therefore, I require you to relax a bit and participate in ' Old Town Combat ' once a month, and the results need to be better than what you get in the Fighting Arena."

As for your opponents, don't worry, I'll naturally arrange for you sufficiently powerful individuals, or large-scale melees.

"Fight?"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think the death row inmates here are so obedient? Most of the prisoners who are imprisoned here are chosen by both parties. I won't work for the World Bureau for nothing."

"I'm not sure if I'll be able to participate in the first month. The upcoming World Connection will be a very important phase, and it may take a long time."

"For a special death row inmate like you, I can give you an advance payment. You can go ahead and do your own thing. Just come and participate after you're done. As long as you perform well enough, all debts will be wiped clean."

"Thanks."

"I'll arrange the most suitable cell for you. Come over and sign the papers."

A pre-prepared document was already on the desk.

Luo Di stepped forward, picked up a pen, and was about to sign his name when...

The warden, in his mechanical Wheelchair, raised his withered right arm, which was covered with various IV needle, and clenched his fist with great difficulty.

It was like the slow and feeble movements of an old man in his twilight years.

The clenched fist slowly approached Luo Di.

Judging from the speed alone, it's impossible to determine whether it's a punch or some kind of friendly gesture.

Despair!

The tongue pounded heavily in the mouth, even causing the jaw to become red and swollen.

Luo Di's hair started to flutter.

A strong survival instinct drives the spine,

Body temperature rises sharply.

The machine carried him backward at high speed, instantly bringing him to the office door a few meters away. He was pressed against the door, his whole body covered in cold sweat.

Even after Luo Di completed his escape, the warden's punching motion wasn't finished; he slowly stretched it to its maximum length, more like stretching his body than punching.

"Very good physical sensitivity. No wonder the higher-ups used you as a 'sharp blade' to eradicate the disgusting tumor they planted in Moon City."

"What exactly are you..."

Luo Di's eyes widened; he couldn't believe what had just happened. The opponent's fist, which appeared slow and weak, seemed to him as if it covered his entire field of vision, and that a single touch would mean instant death.

Luo Di had even imagined his entire body flying apart, with only his Metal Spine barely remaining intact.

The warden neither revealed his name nor offered any explanation, but simply maintained a smile.

"We will have a long time to get to know each other... You just need to know that the prison is under my jurisdiction."

"Good."

Luo Di was led to his cell by the prison guards waiting outside.

Click!

As the office door closed, a violent coughing fit erupted inside.

The Wheelchair detected the abnormality in the warden's body and immediately raised a mist-like mask, which stabilized the warden's condition.

"Ahem~ The essence of the Devil, the embodiment of a serial killer, yet possessing a heart corrupted but still upholding humanity... How could this country produce such a youth? It seems not so bad after all."

"Is this my cell?"

Luo Di's cell was located at the very end of a passageway, completely separated from the other death row inmates' cells, and could only be reached by walking through a long corridor.

Even the cell doors were different.

There were no windows or food delivery openings, only a tightly sealed metal door, so there wasn't a breath of air.

The iron gate opened.

Luo Di had thought that his "pleasant conversation" with the warden would lead him to a high-class cell similar to a hotel room, but the reality was quite the opposite.

The room in front of me couldn't even be called a prison cell; it needed to be described as a "dark room." It was probably used to hold prisoners who had committed serious crimes in prison.

A cube-shaped space of only 10 square meters.

There are no electric lights.

There is no toilet.

There are no beds.

There is only one metal torture chair here, with a metal hood structure behind the chair, which looks like the electric chair used to torture prisoners.

An IV drip device was also provided next to the torture chair.

A fully metal robot maid stood in the corner, not yet activated.

Before Luo Di could even ask, a prison guard beside him began to explain:

"This chair can amplify your consciousness projection to the maximum extent, facilitating your connection with the world. It's a valuable item the warden brought from the capital; it hasn't been used in a long time."

During your connection to the world,

The IV drip device will regularly inject sufficient nutrients to maintain your body's needs, based on your physical requirements.

This management robot, manufactured by the Atom Military Industry, will be responsible for your bodily hygiene and bodily functions.

"Knew."

"Mr. Di, do you need to start connecting to the world now, or do you need to rest for a while? If you need to rest, your normal cell isn't too far away, and I can take you there."

"I've had enough rest in the capital, let's get started now."

Luo Di's various shackles were removed, replaced by a full-body restraint from a metal chair, and a cage-like hood was placed over his head.

"Mr. Di, let me know when you're ready."

"That's fine."

Switch on.

A micro-pulse current immediately acts on the brain, and because Luo Di has Metal Spine, his entire spine is also activated in the same way.

The electric current wasn't stimulating at all; on the contrary, it felt like my consciousness was being nourished.

The entire spine became active, eager to go to hell for its appointment.

Luo Di stopped obstructing him and pulled out all the tentacles that were blocking his cervical vertebrae, and the long-dormant Hell summon was answered.

Buzz!
