Gambling

As soon as Luo Di stepped off the cable car and onto the top floor of the Repair Center, he heard the call from the original body.

At that moment, a gray hue appeared in the field of vision.

The air was filled with the scent of perfume in the elevator.

Extending between passageways,

It was laid out in front of the intensive care unit door.

The original body seemed very eager to reunite with Luo Di's consciousness, as if there was something very important that Luo Di needed to handle personally.

When you follow the head nurse and push open the ward door with its powerful seal, and enter the intensive care unit, there is no longer any barrier between you and your original self.

Connection formed,

The connection was even stronger than expected.

Until their eyes met, Luo Di directly obtained the true situation of the original body and learned the real reason why he had not died despite suffering such severe injuries.

"The reason these substances didn't kill me is because my body has already adapted... or rather, these substances were deliberately left in my body by my ancestors to greatly aid my subsequent ascension to demonhood and development in Hell."

After learning about his physical condition, Luo Di decisively requested to discontinue treatment.

But the head nurse immediately looked puzzled, even with a hint of disdain and hostility in her eyes.

The mouth, covered in syringe needles, was about to say something when it was suddenly blocked by a large, oversized arm in a gentleman's suit.

"Wait a moment, I need to speak with Mr. Di alone..."

"Okay, Mr. David."

The head nurse's expression immediately became amiable. She stepped back and even took out two wads of cotton from her body to plug her ears.

The obese body was pressed tightly against Luo Di's front, occupying most of his field of vision and blocking him from the main body.

The first time the boss, David, extended his own arm and put it on the shoulder, it was more than ten times heavier than the thin arm that had grown out of the Curtain Eye Sockets.

The weight on his shoulders nearly crushed Luo Di's corpse, which he had brought out of the theater.

At the same time, a completely different oppressive aura emanated from it, entirely different from the feeling of chatting in the Grand Theater earlier.

Luo Di felt as if he had fallen onto the plate and become David's meal.

David's Curtain Eye Sockets opened again, revealing what appeared to be a banquet in progress, with all the little figures at the banquet staring at him with their eyes open.

"Mr. Di, why did you suddenly ask to stop the treatment? What did you sense?"

We're family now, so you can rest assured that I'll keep your secrets confidential. I might even go along with your request and not disclose them to the hospital.

As you've probably noticed, because you didn't pay your hospital admission fees early on, according to our local laws and regulations, a large portion of your property rights are now held by the hospital.

After all, you were "picked up."

Luo Di didn't dwell on who the original body belonged to, because his current situation didn't warrant discussing such a matter at all; it was already a good thing that the other party hadn't killed him outright.

Therefore, he went straight to the heart of the matter.

"I suspect that the reason why the ancestral remnants don't harm me is because they are a gift from my ancestors."

"Huh?" This explanation made David's eyes widen, and the little figure in his eye sockets also widened its eyes.

"A gift from our ancestors... If your judgment is wrong, the consequences could be very serious."

If you allow your consciousness to return to your original body now, you are very likely to be invaded by the remnants of your ancestors, thus beginning to regress to your ancestral state and go mad.

Whether it's for the hospital's safety reasons or...

Even for the safety of their own employees, they wouldn't allow you to do that.

"I can provide funding so the hospital can use more nerve-sucking agents to remove the residue. It should be cleaned up in about ten days, at which point you can safely return to your original body and begin our movie."

"Boss, please let me try..."

Luo Di changed his form of address and took the initiative to bow his head.

This sudden change made David take a deep breath. "If you make a mistake, I'll be the one to take the blame... But seeing the physical film ten days in advance is worth the risk."

So how should we choose?

Okay then, Luo Di, you guess the size.

"Guess the size?"

Luo Di looked at David's eye sockets again and found that the little figures who were having a dinner party inside had somehow produced dice, and the dining table had turned into a gambling table.

I never imagined that such an important life decision would need to be determined by dice.

If I'm not mistaken, all the Ancestor Material in his body will be expelled, at which point Luo Di's meeting with the Gate Ancestor will become meaningless.

Moreover, this hospital gives off a strange feeling; there's a sense that if one were to stay here for treatment for an extended period, there would be some serious consequences.

"...big!"

"OK."

David tapped his temples lightly with his fingers, and the little figure in his eye sockets, responding to the command, stepped on the gambling table mechanism. The transparent dice cup shook, and Luo Di's heart began to pound.

3,

4,

6,

Big!

Nice! Luo Di looked at the final dice roll and couldn't help but clench his fist, even letting out a soft shout.

David, however, continued to stare at him with a smile. "How was it? Gambling felt exciting, didn't it? I can tell from your expression that this is your first time participating in such gambling, making a life-altering gamble."

Occasionally having sex can be beneficial for brain health, stimulating dormant Essence Blood within the body.

"Good..."

Luo Di did indeed experience a completely different kind of thrill, entirely unlike a life-or-death struggle. He didn't need to exert all his strength or consider tactics; a single judgment would determine the future course of his life.

"Our city also has casinos, and the owners there are quite interesting. If you have a stable job and no longer need to pay for hospital bills, you might consider going there."

But never borrow money to gamble; if you lose it all, you'll have to get it back.

"Let's see~ Can I say I won this time... or did you plan to let me win from the very beginning, boss?"

"Who knows?" David touched his stomach, closed the curtains between his eyes, and then turned to the head nurse beside him. "Please stop all current medical procedures and just ensure basic life circulation."

Next, Luo Di's Doppelganger will come into contact with his original body.

I will bear any consequences alone.

Although the head nurse was very dissatisfied, she couldn't express it to David.

"Mr. David, you need to know..."

Before she could finish speaking, a greasy palm had already covered the head nurse's mouth, the intense pressure making her tremble all over.

"I know everything, I understand everything~ I don't need you to explain to me."

"Stop extracting Ancestor Material immediately. The rest is up to Mr. Di to handle."

"OK..."

After a series of communications by the head nurse, all the nerves that were sucking on Luo Di's body stopped functioning.

David also turned to Luo Di and gestured for him to join them.

Meanwhile, Luo Di had already returned to staring at his original body, stepping forward step by step, approaching this incomplete body that felt both incredibly familiar and somewhat strange.

He did not reach out and touch it.

They did not press their bodies together.

There was no strange fusion either.

There is only a subtle color between the two.

Gaga~

Gray tentacles began to grow inside the nearly corroded and dilapidated brain of the original body.

When such a structure appeared, the head nurse quickly went into action, but was stopped by David.

"Shh! Don't make a sound. This is a very important moment for Mr. Di. This thing doesn't look like a product of our ancestors at all. It should be a product of their world's system."

It was the taste of fear. Mr. Di hadn't lied after all; he truly possessed the qualities to play a serial killer.

David's chubby face squeezed out a rare happy expression; his business acumen had already sniffed out an opportunity to make money and an opportunity to produce high-quality drama.

current,

Gray tentacles grew from between the brains of the main body, attaching themselves to the temporary corpse where Luo Di's consciousness was located, clustering around the face... Buzz! A familiar chainsaw sound came.

The surface of the tentacles even has a rotating serrated structure.

This bio-chainsaw was aimed directly at his neck...

Sizzle!

Blood splattered.

The head was severed, and the headless corpse fell heavily to the ground.

Without the support of a dramatic mind, the entire corpse reverted to its former withered and powerless state.

The tentacles wrapped around the severed head that housed the "drama brain" and slowly retracted into the body.

Luo Di's own consciousness was "completely lost" in the process, falling into darkness, and he even had a brief dream.

He dreamed again of the night he passed his high school entrance exams, and of the familiar classroom of Class 5, Senior High in his senior year.

He heard the sound of a head being severed again, this time in the dark corner of the classroom.

This time, however, the sound was very clear, as if it were happening to him personally.

Splat!

The head was cut off.

Despite his face being covered in blood, the squad leader maintained his usual gentle smile.

Her delicate hands lifted Luo Di's head in front of her.

Communication and dialogue

"Luo Di, doesn't it feel good to have your head cut off?"
