A Special Dinner

Beneath the clock tower,

The door, carved with a brain relief, was over ten meters tall. It didn't seem to be prepared for Luo Di and the others at all, but rather for some enormous being.

A servant was already waiting at the door.

This servant was in the same state as Luo Di had just arrived at the theater, or rather, like the corpses piled up at the end of the road—no skull and no brain inside.

This way, please!

Guided by the servants, the ten survivors, led by Luo Di, headed to the banquet hall in the Town Center.

There was electricity inside, and the crystal chandelier hanging from the top emitted a strong light that Luo Di was very familiar with.

There were five seats on each side of the crystal table, corresponding to the ten survivors.

There was no food on the table, not even a plate, only a sharp, serrated knife.

Luo Di's initial guess was that the banquet for the prank might be different.

For example, you could simply place fresh, live ingredients on the table and let them cut and eat them with their own knives.

Once everyone was seated...

A servant standing in the corner of the Banquet Hall gently struck the gong in his hand.

Still no food was served. Instead, the people who heard the gong felt a kind of discomfort on a brain level, as if they had become numb and their Brain Tissue had become loose.

The servant's voice also came at the same time:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please use your knives to cut open your skulls and present your brains in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible. The Town Chief will be arriving shortly, and he will select which brains to eat based on their shape, appearance, and smell."

The brain that is consumed will undergo its final evolution within the Town Chief's body, becoming a "drama brain" that your original self can accept.

Those who are not selected will be eliminated.

in addition,

The order in which the Town Chief eats will also affect the quality of the "drama brain" to some extent, so please make the most of your acting skills and quickly transform from the contestant to the food.

This is a test of your acting skills, and also the final test before you join us.

Luo Di's expression changed.

He considered many ways to conduct the banquet, but this was the one he hadn't thought of.

Everything that happened in the town was actually about selecting food for the Town Chief.

Of course, the Town Chief will not actually digest it, but will transform the winner's perfect brain into Hell Object, thus officially connecting it to the Hell System.

This process is acceptable to all the Devil who come to join the evil scheme and have reached this point.

Even though many people can see that,

The reason the mischief set up this banquet, besides testing their acting skills, was for one crucial purpose: to make them realize their own worth, that even if they won this battle royale, they would still just be food on someone's plate.

This was unacceptable to Luo Di, or rather, something he didn't want to accept.

He did not have an absolute need for dramatic thinking.

While going along with the prankster's intentions might help his own situation, this absolute obedience and subservient position could also make things worse.

Moreover, Luo Di, who had just founded Fighting Arena and won a series of victories, did not want to become his prey.

The other winners followed the instructions, picked up their knives, and pondered how to cut open their skulls.

But before they made a move, they glanced at Luo Di out of the corner of their eyes and found that he hadn't taken a knife at all, but was resting with his eyes closed.

A young man who had been following Luo Di closely all the way, with pinkish-red eyes, asked, "Boss, do you have any particular thoughts on the banquet?"

"Not everyone is qualified to taste my brain, and I don't have a strong need for acting brains."

"Don't worry about me. Just follow the instructions here. After all, you've come this far through countless hardships. Your minds are fully developed from this battle; you will inevitably be chosen."

After Luo Di responded

A burly man sitting on the edge, his eyes swarming with ticks, put down his knife without a word, seemingly making the same choice as the "boss".

As this person abandoned the normal dinner ceremony, others gradually followed suit.

Some the Devil who were cutting open skulls stopped and decided to follow their leader's actions, even if it meant being eliminated or dying.

Luo Di looked at the group with some confusion. He hadn't used any gray magic to corrupt or affect their spirits. He had simply organized an Open-air Fighting Arena to satisfy his own desires; he never expected to gain such followers.

Looking at the followers around the table, and at their resolute gazes.

A flash of inspiration crossed my mind.

A bold idea that even Luo Di found astonishing was beginning to take shape.

However, this idea was quickly shattered by a strong tremor.

The entire clock tower was shaking violently.

A strong, metallic smell of brain matter wafted into the room.

Something enormous and greasy was approaching, and even the archway, which was over ten meters high, required considerable effort to squeeze through.

Its crystalline body, resembling a maggot, finally squeezed into the Banquet Hall.

Its body also drags along a hindquarters that are a full ten meters long. This hindquarters looks like a maggot, but is actually a large, swollen structure with cerebral grooves.

All the brains devoured by the Town Chief will be sent to this body, where they will undergo special biological digestion and processing to become "drama brains".

On the torso,

A head with a pointed tip was surrounded by clusters of fat.

When the Town Chief saw the interior of the Banquet Hall, his facial features began to contort and twitch.

Because he didn't see the "pot lid" that had been lifted as usual, nor did he see the delicious feast he had expected, even though he had heard that tonight's banquet was very special.

"You actually need me to fetch the food myself! You need to pay the price for your laziness. I will not eat any of your brains."

I will crush your bodies and mix them with the filthiest garbage.

The rear of the car shuddered, releasing an incredibly strong pressure that made everyone's brains shake violently like tofu, making it impossible to maintain even the most basic sitting posture.

Snap!

One by one, the winners collapsed onto the table.

Only Luo Di remained unaffected, not even glancing at the Town Chief since he entered the house, continuing to rest with his eyes closed. In reality, his brain was already enveloped by countless tentacles, ignoring the shaking aimed at his brain.

Not only that,

Luo Di also caught a whiff of "fragrance" emanating from the Town Chief, and hunger surged through his brain again; this scent far surpassed that of any of the other contestants.

The pituitary gland is desperately craving it.

The Town Chief naturally noticed this unusual individual as well, saying, "Your... brain is very strange! I'll make an exception and try it."

The Town Chief's enormous hand, like a maggot, reached out towards Luo Di. The width of his hand alone exceeded the length of Roddy's body, and he could easily grab him.

but.

Before leaving the city as the Black Spine Emissary, Luo Di had experience fighting giants at the Ridge Warriors 'Recruitment Ground. The Cancer Beast at that time was even larger than the Town Chief.

Although it's impossible to open the spine now, Luo Di had already made up his mind.

Whoosh! A dark shadow flashed by.

The shovel in his hand was swung like a knife.

The sharp shovel sliced through the giant hand that had grabbed it, splattering juice everywhere.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the surface of the shovel appears to be wrapped with some kind of tentacle-like substance, and these tentacles have a movable serrated structure, similar to a chainsaw, which is very effective at killing flesh and blood.

A large number of pieces fell to the ground.

The Town Chief let out a frantic scream. He had never suffered such an injury before. The maggots on the wound on his palm had even turned gray and were now devouring his own flesh.

But immediately more maggots grew out of the wound and devoured the gray maggots.

Just as the Town Chief was about to further crush the bizarre corpse carrier in front of him, he discovered that the seat was already empty.

Luo Di had somehow found himself standing at the very center of the dining table.

He spread his arms.

You can see the tongue inside the mouth is completely curled up, and there are even tentacles-like appendages.

Use all your strength to actively pat it.

Snap!

A loud clicking sound echoed through the restaurant.

All the contestants whose brains were affected were fully conscious, even more so than usual.

Their vision gradually returned, and they managed to lift their heads again.

What is in sight

Not the Town Chief, who nearly filled half the restaurant.

Instead, it was Luo Di standing in the center of the table with his arms outstretched.

"The Fighting Arena has added a special event today! As the ultimate winners, we will enjoy this special dinner. The food has arrived in the Banquet Hall, let's dig in!"

Luo Di's words forced everyone's potential to be unleashed.

They immediately resumed their previous fighting stance, showcasing the ultimate abilities brought about by their perfect minds, and attacked the Town Chief from different directions.

Even if it's quickly slapped away by the Town Chief, it will still use the opportunity to bite off a piece of flesh from the Town Chief's body.

As Luo Di said,

This was a special dinner party.

The victors' dinner has begun.
