Long-Awaited Sleep

Although Luo Di's consciousness had long since sunk into his spine, his main thinking functions were still performed by his brain.

When his body completely melted, he himself fell into a state of inability to think.

The consciousness residing in the spine can only engage in the simplest and most primitive instinctive activities, actively cooperating with the forging of the Bio-Blacksmith, and transforming towards the so-called "blueprint".

Most importantly, there is that touch of gray, the gray belonging to the pituitary gland, which also assists in this process and even participates in the process of Flesh Forging, so as to achieve a better integration with the hellish body.

Luo Di himself, on the other hand, fell into a peaceful state of hibernation.

He was exhausted during this period.

He had been unable to sleep since the Moon Eclipse Event began.

Perhaps it was the excitement of the massacre,

Perhaps it's the comfort of removing a malignant tumor.

Perhaps it was the sense of guilt stemming from the first large-scale massacre of non -Pseudo-Human.

Perhaps he was filled with disappointment with the world.

Luo Di couldn't sleep afterward and stayed in the headquarters detention room awaiting trial.

Even though the World Bureau's attitude was clear—to protect Luo Di as High-Value Death Row Inmate, and to have his opinion sought before being sent to the Border City Prison —they only needed to wait until the public outcry subsided before bringing him back.

Furthermore, the murderer registered at the Mercury Hotel was not Luo Di but [Mr. D].

Even so, Luo Di just couldn't fall asleep.

current.

As the body was burned away, the brain was melted.

He was finally able to sleep, even a completely passive sleep was enough for Luo Di to get some rest.

Relax your whole body.

Let your tense nerves and tired body rest.

To ensure the best stability for the forged hellish body.

Border City Prison

The fire alarm has been sounded.

Several prison guards rushed to Luo Di's cell immediately, and when they opened the door, a temperature of nearly 100 degrees Celsius emanated from inside.

Even if the internal rain-generating devices are functioning normally, they cannot cool the body down; any moisture that falls on Luo Di will evaporate immediately.

The warden monitors the situation in real time through video recording devices worn by the prison guards.

He saw that Luo Di, whose entire body was burned red-hot, blistered, and even some of his flesh had begun to carbonize, was sitting on the metal table and chairs, and he actually had a smile on his lips.

The tension Luo Di felt when he first arrived at the prison completely disappeared, replaced by a relaxed state.

"We moved large blocks of ice from the icehouse here to cool the environment."

"Warden, should we call a medical team to treat such severe burns?"

"No need. If he can't even withstand this level of injury, he doesn't deserve to be here. Besides, judging from his current mental state, it seems that such burns are not a bad thing, but rather beneficial to his body."

As the warden said.

New flesh is growing from the burn wounds on Luo Di's body. A type of flesh with higher heat resistance and more suited to the Hell Physique is undergoing genetic transformation and replication through the world projection.

This long, long sleep gave Luo Di a dream.

A bus propelled by the movement of living organisms is speeding through the jungle, with the driver, wearing a large fish head mask, scratching his crotch while driving with one hand.

Luo Di leaned against the window seat in the last row; he seemed to have fallen asleep just now.

There was a soft touch on his arm, pressed against another person's arm; this touch was different from the squad leader's gentle touch.

The body temperature is lower.

They also have less muscle mass.

She's more like a petite Girl who doesn't like sports.

The flower-like eyes were fixed on Luo Di, and asked softly:

"Mr. Di, how does it feel to kill?"

Is it like a violation, where once you've done it the first time, you want it countless times?

The abyss of desire isn't so terrible, is it? Embracing desire is embracing yourself; that's the real you.

If it were you now, you'd probably just kill me, right?

"She really wants to be violated by you, wants to be killed by you, come on~ I can't wait, she's just as unforgivable Pseudo-Human."

A tongue as delicate as a flower stamen gently licked Luo Di's cheek, even trying to burrow into his ear canal to stir up the murderous desires deep within his brain.

The provocative words and the pervasive malice caused veins to bulge on Luo Di's forehead, his taut arms poised to strike the Girl beside him at any moment.

At a critical moment.

The speeding bus suddenly came to a stop. Because they weren't wearing seatbelts, the two men were thrown forward and crashed into the tables and chairs in front of them. The impact cleared Luo Di's head and somewhat diminished his murderous urges.

"You son of a bitch! Do you even know how to drive?!"

Hua Yuan pointed at the fish head driver and started cursing.

The driver slowly turned his head, staring at the two with the dead fish mask on, and then slowly reached out and removed it.

Her cool, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, revealing a delicate Asian face.

The driver was Wu Wen.

She got up and walked towards the back row.

Ignoring Hua Yuan's cold stare, he plopped down on her lap.

She then gently placed her hand on Luo Di's cheek, conveying the icy chill that neutralized the heat within Luo Di's body, calming his mind.

She didn't talk about the killings.

Instead, he used his other hand to open the car window and pointed it towards the sky.

The night sky was devoid of the once dazzling stars, only a pale, jade-like moon.

"I remember the moon used to be always hazy and gray, but tonight it's so bright. Some kind deity must have swept away all the dust from the moon's surface."

Even if it gets covered in dust again in the future, at least it's clean for now, at least it can illuminate the darkness and be seen by us.

Following the class monitor's words, Luo Di looked up at the bright moon. His tense nerves gradually relaxed, and the wrinkles on the surface of his heart slowly disappeared.

"Sister Hua, how about the three of us go to the beach together?"

"You're so good with words, Wu Wen. Let's go, let's go~ This is so boring."

I don't know how much time passed, but the comfortable and pleasant dream came to an end, and my mind gradually returned to clarity.

The smell of dry sulfur and roasted bone marrow is transmitted to the brain through the sense of smell.

The scent made Luo Di instantly realize his current situation, recalling the Conscription Ritual and the related events of Flesh Forging.

He suddenly stood up.

Before me was neither a scorching factory nor a towering wall of flesh and blood that nurtured bodies. Instead, it was a guest room themed around red bricks, skeletons, and a few metallic elements.

It has one bedroom and one living room, and includes a bathroom.

The roaring fireplace provides the room with heat and dryness exceeding 40°C, while also emitting a delicious aroma of cooked bone marrow.

The interior design is similar to European style, but it uses a lot of curved and sharp corner structures. If you are not careful, you may fall and be directly impaled by the sharp corners of the bed foot, fireplace or table edge.

"An inn in hell?"

Luo Di got up with a puzzled look on his face and subconsciously headed towards the bathroom.

The bright red toilet stood out conspicuously inside, with flames constantly rising from its interior, as if anything that fell inside would be quickly burned.

However, Luo Di's gaze was not on the toilet, but was immediately drawn to the mirror on the sink.

The mirror, with its hellish curved design, will provide Luo Di with the "answer" he desperately desires: the final result of his Flesh Forging.

When Luo Di saw the final answer, he was quite satisfied. It was almost exactly the same as the blueprint he had envisioned, with only minor differences.

The blueprint is "oneself," oneself as a human being.

Between the mirrored surfaces, a metallic sheen is the first thing to be noticed, with the metal structure emanating from the jawline being particularly striking.

The shape of the jawline is consistent with the hellish rebirth he experienced on the resort island.

The entire lower jaw area was replaced by Jaw Ripper, but instead of being hollow, it was filled with metal to prevent food from leaking out directly during eating.

The rest are all human-like, all possessing the appearance of Luo Di.

Only the color has changed.

The slightly tousled gray hair added a touch of world-weariness.

There seemed to be tentacles wriggling within his gray pupils.
