Participating in the Festival

As the corpse carrier's brain was placed into the cranial cavity, Luo Di could clearly feel that the brain immediately took root inside the skull, with nerves resembling roots growing from the bottom and connecting to the whole body.

This fragile and weak body was rapidly strengthened under the influence of the brain.

The Muscle Tissue belonging to the corpse movers bulged rapidly; after all, they dug pits and carried corpses every day, and the signs of exercise were quite obvious.

His physical strength was roughly equivalent to that of Luo Di during his senior year of high school; this kind of rapid physical growth was something Luo Di had never experienced before.

It seems that in this drama, the brain is the core of everything; once the installation is complete, the body will express the relevant characteristics.

And it's not just about physical enhancement.

After becoming a "brained being," Luo Di's head structure also changed.

First, the open skull structure was sealed off. With the implantation of the brain, the skull regrowth and completely closed off, and a head of black hair grew in a short period of time.

Immediately afterwards, facial features began to grow on the faceless corpse.

Only the eyes had become like those of the corpse carriers, without eyeballs, but instead filled with cemetery moss and inhabited by swarms of earthworms.

Luo Di didn't feel uncomfortable with this structure; on the contrary, he felt a sense of comfort as if his eye sockets were filled.

Feeling the earthworms wriggling among the moss in the cemetery is like getting an eye massage; each earthworm poking its head out can act as an eye, providing a field of vision.

When more than ten earthworms emerge, the field of vision reaches its maximum and the image turns into color.

Throughout the acceptance process, Luo Di showed great adaptability and was already eager to carry out the next killing spree.

"Is it because I've experienced physical Zombie Transformation before that I'm highly adaptable to this type of corpse? Or is it that the brain implantation itself allows me to quickly immerse myself in the role?"

Luo Di picked up the shovel and swung it tentatively in the air, more than doubling his strength, easily smashing the wooden barrels to pieces.

He was relieved to see that his physical condition was good.

In addition, Luo Di also found an exquisite metal box in the clothing room of the other party's body.

Inside was a uniquely shaped syringe with a brass-forged spiral tube, a fleshy piston, and a large, thick needle that gleamed coldly.

The overall structure is quite sturdy and will not be damaged even if it is subjected to a violent impact.

Just after obtaining all of the corpse mover's belongings, the familiar voice rang out again:

Attention all those with brains! Please proceed to the town area within half an hour to participate in the annual grand festival. Use your most despicable, filthy, and cruel methods to plunder the brains of other participants.

When only ten people remain for the festival, they will be invited to the city center for a final banquet.

"Some kind of battle royale? That certainly fits the characteristics of a bad movie."

Thinking back, when he first found the body mover, the man was indeed behaving strangely, repeatedly banging his head in the tool shed until his skull was completely shattered.

Perhaps it was the fear of participating in the festival, the fear of having their brains removed.

Luo Di, however, seemed somewhat excited; he appeared to already know the ultimate purpose of this drama.

"The Hell Object of evil play is not given directly like the spine, but rather, as it is now, through its own theatrical performance, it continuously improves its own brain through syringes, and finally builds a unique 'dramatic brain'."

I wonder what will happen if I, a spinalist and Hell Monk, ultimately win? Will I also be granted the Brain of Drama...? Perhaps obtaining a hellish brain could further strengthen my connection with the Corner System.

Luo Di was looking forward to seeing the pituitary gland supported by the hellish brain, and he was completely immersed in the drama. Without taking a break, he got up and set off.

Luo Di carried his shovel, preparing to leave the now worthless wooden hut. Although there was no dressing mirror, Luo Di could roughly imagine what he looked like.

He wore a black leather jacket, carried a shovel on his shoulder, was pale all over, and had moss around his eyes.

It makes me feel like Pseudo-Human, but for some reason, there's a strange sense of satisfaction in it.

He suddenly stopped before leaving, remembering something.

Next, you will need to fight against a series of despicable and insidious participants as a corpse carrier. They will not fight head-on like the spine carriers, but will use the most despicable means to win.

The number of people participating in the festival is large.

Luo Di's fighting style easily attracts the attention of those people, making him an easy target for sneak attacks.

Therefore, he needs to confirm one thing.

Curl your tongue up and press it against the roof of your mouth, then tap it hard.

Despair!

The crisp clicking of his tongue cleared his mind.

Luo Di smiled with satisfaction and continued along the straight stone road.

His gait gradually became rough, his cervical spine was bent, and his neck was slightly tilted forward, making each step feel unusually heavy.

The characteristics of a serial killer are evident in this temporary body; there is not a trace of any aura associated with evil.

There was no hiding, no crawling, no concealment.

He just swaggered along the highway.

If he felt uncomfortable carrying the shovel for too long, he would drag it along the ground, deliberately letting the metal collide with the uneven surface to make noise, as if trying to completely awaken this silent place.

Luo Di could clearly sense that several eyes had been watching him from the woods, but for various reasons, no one had made a move.

After walking approximately two kilometers...

As earthworms wriggled among the moss around his eyes, Luo Di finally saw a small town resembling a medieval European town, with bells ringing from within, signifying the start of the festival.

The road ahead was blocked by a large, openwork gate, with spiked walls of the same height extending on both sides, enveloping the town.

certainly,

The gate and walls, being of ordinary height, were no obstacle for Luo Di. He could easily climb over them by stepping through the gaps in the walls, without making a sound.

Quietness is crucial for the upcoming battle royale, allowing participants to hide in the shadows and hunt slowly until only ten remain.

But Luo Di didn't do that.

He did not want to change his behavior patterns because of the play's arrangement.

Since this is a play, there must be people watching it, experiencing emotional fluctuations during the viewing process, and even giving their opinions afterward.

Luo Di had a similar "performance experience" in underground Fighting Arena before. He still remembered the excited expressions of the audience during the fights and the shouts of the name "D".

Since the development of civilizations in the world of the madman is somewhat similar to that of humans, their brain functions and emotional fluctuations should also be similar.

Therefore, Luo Di also wanted to bring the same thing to the audience watching the play here.

He held the shovel upright, making a chopping motion.

Align it with the chain fastened to the center of the iron gate!

When!

With a crisp metallic clang, the broken chain fell to the ground, and the door opened wide.

Such a loud noise was naturally heard by many individuals hiding in the shadows. They all looked puzzled, wondering why someone would make such a loud noise.

Out of caution, some participants did not follow the sound; they did not want to add any further variables and continued to hunt in the shadows.

Another group of participants sensed an opportunity and quickly headed towards the gate area. The metallic clanging sound suggested a fierce, evenly matched battle, and they might be able to intervene covertly and obtain both brains in one fell swoop.

Whether crawling or wriggling,

They may be hidden in the shadows or concealed underground.

When they arrived at the side gate of the town from which the sound was coming, the scene before them surprised them.

There was no fierce battle between the two contestants as expected, nor did any seemingly powerful or intelligent individuals arrive in the town.

There was only one ordinary corpse mover. Even the smell of his brain was utterly ordinary, with a rotten, inferior odor.

It was this corpse mover who used his most proficient corpse-digging tools to break the chains on the iron gate, creating a loud noise.

Just when many people believed that the person who moved the body was deliberately courting death,

A Poison Needle shot out swiftly from an unseen corner, aimed at the corpse carrier who had just entered the town.

Although the other person's brain is of inferior quality, it is still a brain. The participants here are not picky eaters; even extracting a tiny bit of Brain Essence will help them participate in the final banquet.

Just as the Poison Needle was about to strike, the corpse carrier suddenly stopped, just missing the tip of his nose...
