The Secret Room Between the Sewers

The concentration of fungi in the silt of the deep swamp was extremely high, but it had no effect on Luo Di, who was rapidly diving down; all the pathogenic plagues could only stay on the outside of his body.

Not only that,

The plague-infested mud even moved in sync with Luo Di's body, giving him a sense of ease and allowing him to descend quickly.

This isn't due to the clothing's function; the key reason comes from Luo Di's back.

A closer look reveals that Luo Di's body is enveloped in a layer of shimmering green light, and that he carries a burlap sack on his back containing "goods".

After diving to a depth of fifty meters in the deep swamp.

Using the metal camera embedded in his eye socket, Luo Di quickly captured the bottom of the silt. What lay beneath was not rock, but a special tumor layer with signs of human processing.

At that moment, a voice came from the "goods" inside the backpack:

"Mr. Di, this is the coastal sewer system, a project undertaken by the tumor-carrying people. Just find a way to cut it open directly. The pipeline was built by advanced tumor-carrying people; it has a high degree of self-healing ability."

Luo Di immediately moved close to the pipe, his palm landing on the surface. A serrated tentacle quickly cut a slit and burrowed inside.

Snap!

The soles of my feet are on the smooth ground.

Only a little silt dripped down, and when he looked up, the newly cut crack had already been repaired.

As Karlien said, Luo Di had arrived at a sewer system, an engineering area used for ocean purification, which was spread throughout the coastline and was so intricate that one could easily get completely lost if not careful.

and,

This sewer system, used for purification, is a very important project. If it malfunctions, it could cause the [Death Ash Sea] to solidify and become blocked, preventing the True Hell from properly discharging waste.

Anyone who dares to damage the sewers and affect the purification of the ocean will be issued Hell Wanted Poster directly at the Grand Monastery. It is a red Wanted Poster that ignores the difference in rank, allowing high-ranking the Devil to deal with it directly.

certainly,

Luo Di merely cut open the pipe wall to hide there; it didn't constitute destruction.

This place bears some resemblance to the sewers of the Human World.

The core wastewater mainly flows in the central channel, with flat ground on both sides for walking.

Luo Di leaned against the wall covered in Rotting Fungus and moss, blood flowing continuously from his neck and palms. Whenever the blood touched the ground, it would be greedily sucked up by the Rotting Fungus and grow into a flower that resembled cauliflower.

The neck, which had been cut open in nearly half, is slowly healing.

The hand injury was from the clash of weapons.

Not only was the butcher knife broken, but Luo Di's tiger's mouth was completely torn apart, and his palm was almost split in two.

Just recalling what had just happened, Luo Di felt a chill run down his spine. If he had been even a fraction of a second slower, his head would have been severed from his body. The so-called hellish road, the so-called corner agreement—all of that was gone.

"This guy's killing skills are very high... and the feeling of decapitation is very strange. If it happened again, I might really die. I hope Agatha can find me soon."

As Luo Di sank, he struck the metal pillar, using the thick silt to mask the sound. It seems Agatha had already received the message.

Karlien, disguised as merchandise in his backpack, spoke in a calm voice, as if he had just woken up.

"Mr. Di, I can sense the direction of the lighthouse and can point you to the shortest route away from this sewer."

Karlien seemed to have concluded that the Wanted Criminal was superior to Luo Di in both killing prowess and backbone, and that staying here was not a good idea.

However, Luo Di had his own ideas.

"The other party is very cautious. Once I escape, he will decisively abandon me as his target, and it will be very difficult to find him later."

Moreover, his 'color' remained in this sewer.

Now I understand why this guy was able to kill so many villains without being discovered. His home must be somewhere in the sewers, in some secret, hidden room.

He was, after all, an exile; it was understandable that he lived in such a place.

Luo Di won't let that knife wound go unpunished.

While preventing the opponent from decapitating, the close contact also released that color, and a slight stain achieved "marking".

By marking the target, Luo Di can track the other party's whereabouts.

Currently, the Wanted Criminal is not jumping directly into the muddy swamp to give chase, but is instead circling around to a more distant sewer entrance.

Not only that,

The gray markings also led Luo Di to unexpectedly discover traces of the man's life in the sewers, which might lead to the location of the Wanted Criminal's residence in the sewers.

A voice came from Karlien on his back:

"The marine sewers are strictly monitored by the tumor-infested people, with patrols stationed in each area. Moreover, what is processed here is the ultimate wastewater that has been digested and rejected by hell, and has no nutritional value whatsoever."

Not only is there no food here, but it's also teeming with pathogenic fungi. Even cancer patients would find it difficult to stay here for a full week, let alone outsiders.

"Doesn't he have food?"

Upon hearing Luo Di's words, Karlien realized what he meant. "Indeed... Mr. Di, please do as you wish. I will do my best to assist you and try to hold out until Sister Agatha arrives."

Compared to the intense emotions of danger and excitement emanating from Luo Di's body, Karlien continued to disguise himself as a crystalline commodity inside the backpack, was quite relaxed, showing no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

He seemed to feel no sense of danger whatsoever when facing such Wanted Criminal.

"Um."

Luo Di ran quickly through the filthy, rotting sewers, splashing all sorts of grime all over himself as he ran.

Soon we stopped in front of a wall with a significantly low fungal coverage, where the traces captured by the gray gathered.

Reach out and push hard against the wall.

Boom! It actually pushed it open.

A dark, black staircase leading downwards appeared, along with a scent that wafted out—a scent that didn't belong in the sewers, but which Luo Di recognized very well.

When Luo Di was cultivating pituitary glands in Moon City, this was the kind of food he often ate when he was hungry.

"Karlien, do you know what's down there?"

"During the construction of the sewers, a large number of tumor patients were transferred here to work, so some temporary underground rest rooms were set up. This is probably one of the original rest rooms, which was abandoned after the project was completed."

"Looks like we've come to the right place..."

"Yes."

"Karlien, do you have a suitable weapon? Something like a knife or an axe would be fine."

"I'm just a Lighthouse Keeper and I don't have these things. However, if Mr. Di needs them, I might be able to make one for you temporarily. Please wait a moment."

As Luo Di walked down the steps, he felt something hard growing on his back.

As he reached into his backpack, a crystalline butcher's knife was pulled out.

Although the blade is somewhat unbalanced and the weight distribution is slightly off, the overall shape is still intact.

Moreover, Luo Di could sense that the knife was extremely hard, completely different from the crystals he had previously consumed. The other party wasn't a blacksmith; it was already quite impressive that they could create such a makeshift tool in such a short time.

"It's so hard... Maybe this will work..."

Step down the last step.

A homeless dwelling reeking of brain matter came into view.

Because it used to be a rest area for cancer patients, the space felt quite large.

A large number of abandoned beds are placed here, one of which shows signs of recent sleeping on it, and a quilt made from fresh leather.

In addition, a groove was dug out for physiological excretion, which leads directly to other areas of the sewer.

but,

What attracted Luo Di the most was the thing at the deepest part of the room... which was also the source of that familiar smell.

Luo Di didn't see the door made of corpses that he had seen in the Rat Abyss before. Instead, he saw something extremely strange and terrifying.

"What's this?"

This unusual item reminded him of the description on the Wanted Poster.

All the slain insects had their heads cut off, and the heads disappeared without a trace.

Before our eyes,

The skulls of dozens of members of the evil prank were linked together like a centipede, with their brains serving as the connecting carriers between each skull, collectively forming a kind of biological instrument.

As Luo Di stared at the skull instrument, he could almost hear the wails of agony, as if the slain insects hadn't completely died and were still attached to it.

Just as he slowly stepped closer to the instrument, wanting to find out more about it.

Despair!

The tongue snaps!

"They're here! So fast!"

Perhaps sensing that their secret room had been discovered,

Luo Di's gray senses detected that the "Wanted Criminal" was approaching at an unimaginable speed, even faster than his chainsaw could cut through his spine.
