Eyeball

The sea breeze howled, carrying with it Rotting Fungus and miasma, and blew onto Luo Di's body.

Although he didn't know why he was standing in front of the lighthouse, his intuition told Luo Di that it was necessary to go inside, as something very important seemed to be hidden there, something related to the Spine People.

Walk in through the rotten door.

I had imagined the interior of the lighthouse would be a scene of extreme corruption.

result...

Sizzle! The torches inserted inside burned away all the Rotting Fungus that drifted in.

The moment Luo Di stepped in, the iron gate behind him slammed shut, sealing out all the odors and germs.

The Bone Torch burning in the circular stairwell emitted a smell similar to that of the Chaos Nest, a smell of roasted spinal cord mixed with a hint of fragrance.

Although the torches were made of spine, the building materials inside the lighthouse were similar to those in Navel Port, belonging to a type of hardened abscess. However, due to the long passage of time, these abscesses were even harder than stone, and their surfaces even had crystalline green structures.

The stairwell of the lighthouse was so clean that it was hard to believe it was Original Pus- filled place; there wasn't a speck of dust even in the crevices and corners.

Perhaps it's the lighthouse's self-purification process, or perhaps someone is cleaning this place.

Luo Di continued upwards up the spiral staircase, unaware that one of the abscessed walls was slowly opening its eyes.

Despite the lighthouse being hundreds or even thousands of meters high, Luo Di felt as if he had reached the top in a very short time.

The iron door leading to the top Lamp Room was locked, and it was painted with a Hell Seal that Luo Di couldn't understand, as if getting close would burn him to a crisp.

Click! The door opens.

The iron gate, which was sealed with a high-level seal, opened automatically, as if something inside was welcoming Luo Di's arrival.

Entering the Lamp Room,

A Giant Eyeball, over five meters in diameter, grows inside, surrounded by fresh abscesses, and the optic nerve can be seen rooted between the abscesses.

Luo Di was certain,

This eyeball does not belong to the Original Pus, but to the spinal cord.

Here, the Spine Fiend and the Original Pus achieve a certain good balance, just like Luo Di's Metal Spine.

At the same time, a sound came from inside the Giant Eyeball.

"Luo Di, you actually obtained your monk status and arrived at Navel Port so quickly, a full ten days faster than I expected. You even have a nun accompanying you personally. Boss was right about you."

Judging from your appearance, it seems you don't plan to set sail immediately, but rather stay in the Navel Port for a while? Why? You must be finding it difficult to adapt to the living conditions of the tumor people.

The eyeball actually called out Luo Di's name directly, and was very clear about this special Emissary Journey, and even called the overlord who arranged all of this "boss".

The other party must be a high-ranking member of the Spine Clan, so there's nothing for Luo Di to hide.

"Sister Agatha and I need to deal with a Wanted Criminal here."

"Just as I expected. Earning some Hell Contribution in advance and preparing before heading to the Dark Side is a good idea. Besides, the Grand Monastery happens to be the source of the Wanted Poster."

Let me think... the Wanted Criminal in this area... could it be Korlion?

"Yes."

"It really is that kid~ I have a pretty good impression of Korlion. His spine and character are both good, and his talent is also very good. It's just that his personality is terrible. He's an absolute egoist. Even if he can really ascend to the demon realm and return to the hive, it will be difficult for him to survive."

This kid chose the wrong path from the very beginning; his personality is such that he should have joined the evil world.

Now, for some reason, he has come to the coastal area to kill evil spirits and collect their heads, seemingly trying to build a unique Gate of Demon Ascension.

"You've only just completed your Flesh Forging. Even if you team up with that nun, there's still a considerable risk involved. Being killed in retaliation wouldn't be worth it."

Luo Di responded firmly, "Since we received the Wanted Poster at the Grand Monastery, it means the Will of Hell believes we can handle this, right?"

"That's what I say~ Fine, I won't say any more! If the boss finds out, he'll say I'm interfering with your path."

I have something else to discuss with you tonight, something about the [eye]. As you can see, I am a very rare Pure Perceiver among the spinal beings, and my entire spine is used to support the eye's voyeuristic gaze.

One of my eyes was donated to Navel Port to be used as a lighthouse, providing illumination for passing ships, which can greatly reduce maritime disasters and also help save good karma for the people who suffer from spinal cord injuries.

I noticed your performance at the Recruitment Ground first, and to be honest, I really wanted to recruit you, but unfortunately, the boss has other plans. Considering the extremely risky path the boss has chosen, you might die on this road.

For example, targeting Korlion now would be a rather reckless choice.

Before you die, I want to know one thing, something about you and your eyes.

Although the man's words were unpleasant, Luo Di didn't pay much attention to him considering his identity. "Okay, go ahead and ask."

"You must have come into contact with some kind of Eyeball Creature at some point in your life, and even had a sexual encounter, right? I can smell a faint scent on you, which seems to be related to coldness and moisture."

That eye must have been very special, so much so that after losing it, you had difficulty adapting to the inefficient observation of the normal naked eye for a short period of time.

Luo Di was somewhat surprised, never expecting that the main reason he received attention was not his own talent, but the scent of his Sister Eye that lingered on him.

"Yes, but I'm not too uncomfortable with it. After all, it wasn't originally my eye, but a temporary partner. It was just that when we were in danger, it needed to live inside my brain."

This kind of statement has attracted more attention.

"Partner? May I peek into your memories and see what kind of creature this Eyeball-related Partner is, and what kind of Eyeball Ability she uses?"

In the True Hell, I have privately encountered all the Devil who have a talent for eyeballs, and most of them are quite boring, with not much novelty in them.

Don't worry, I will only look into memories related to the eyeball.

If it's truly interesting and sparks my interest, I'll offer effective assistance without hindering your search for the right path.

Luo Di didn't mind seeing only a small part of the memory, as it didn't contain any private information. If he could take the opportunity to befriend a powerful figure in the Spine Sect, it would definitely be worthwhile.

"OK."

As Luo Di agreed, a beam of light pierced through his skull, peering into the events unfolding on the resort island.

After glimpsing memories related to Sister Eye Mu Mu, the giant eye of the lighthouse exhibited obvious pupil dilation and contraction, and even trembled slightly.

Buzz!

The spying is over.

"Corner, Pseudo-Human, Phobia-concretization!"

How interesting! What an interesting world! Moreover, this Girl's Eyeball Manifestation very unique; she has a completely different understanding of how to use them than anything in hell.

Although small, it is very meaningful.

When will you end the Thought Projection and return to humanity? Perhaps I can go back with you and meet this Girl together.

Looking at the increasingly audacious lighthouse eyeball in front of him, Luo Di sighed softly.

"My Sister Eye has already gone to the corner, and I can't get there right now. How about I let you know when I see her again?"

"A corner? Hmm... a bit of a shame. I really wish I could meet her right now, maybe I could do what you did and bring her to the True Hell and make her join my ranks."

Interesting! I haven't encountered anything this interesting in a long time! This is ten times more interesting than invading other worlds, no... it should be 13.6 times more interesting.

Looks like I need to work harder with the boss to persuade him to lock onto your world sooner, so I can go and see it for myself.

Upon hearing this, Luo Di's heart tightened, and he suppressed the emotions that were about to burst forth with reason.

However, the next second the eyeball contradicted itself:

"No, no~ The boss said that we can't do anything that will affect your search for the path during this period. Besides, your World Interval too far apart. Even if we burn through all the fuel we have stored, we still won't be able to get close. We don't know how long it will take."

Oh, right!

You seem to be able to make contact with Hawke in the Human World, right?

Could there be some kind of World Anchor Point in the torture chamber? I'll try to visit it when I have time. If it really exists, I can go there alone.

My relationship with Hawke isn't too bad; if he can go, so can I.

"Yes." Luo Di did not deny it, or rather, any lie would be exposed in front of such eyes. The other party's eyes were so powerful that they could see through any lie.

"Thank you very much, Envoy Luo Di! Since I cannot provide direct assistance, I cannot give you the Eyeball or Hell equipment... I can only arrange a teammate for you."

At least in my opinion, the group you formed with the nun is missing a lot.

Come to the lighthouse tomorrow morning after you get up. A little guy I really like will be joining your team, so please don't bully him!

"Okay... then. If it's not suitable, can I refuse?"

"Sure.

You dare to question my decision? No wonder the boss took a liking to you... It seems you don't quite understand the hierarchy and status of the Spine Clan.

Here's what we'll do: if you manage to return to Nest City alive, I will personally meet you in my true form.

That's all for now. Thanks for sharing your island story, it was really interesting... I'm off to find Hawke now, bye-bye!

Buzz!

A bright light flashed.

Luo Di sat up abruptly on the sofa in the guest room; it was already the morning of the second day.

Not only was the fatigue cleared away, but I even felt my back was filled with warmth, and it even radiated a light like a lighthouse.
