Return

[City of Synapses, Repair Center, Item Storage Room]

All the items on the bodies of patients who are admitted to the hospital in a deep coma and whose condition is unstable will be temporarily stored here.

Both living and inanimate objects have designated storage areas.

Hehe~

A crow cawed.

The administrator on duty looked impatient.

When I picked up the taming whip woven from nerves, ready to physically soothe the crow, I found that the crow, which had been so well-behaved before, had now spread its wings wide and all its feathers were sticking up.

Beneath each feather lies an eye, a symbol of darkness, a symbol of curse, staring menacingly at him.

It seemed that as soon as the whip dared to fall, some terrible curse would be passed on.

"A crow colt... and a purebred at that, what a hassle."

However, this manager is also very professional.

Put away the nerve whip.

I found a special piece of cloth that could be used to shield against the effects, and prepared to cover the entire birdcage. This would both isolate the curse and silence the chirping.

Just as he picked up the cloth and prepared to go forward,

Clang!

A loud crash, like an object falling from a height, came from the nearby storage area, accompanied by bursts of red alarm lights.

The administrator immediately put aside the crow's problem and rushed over.

The skull box used to seal a cursed item suddenly fell to the ground, and the skull, which should have been indestructible, developed a tiny crack.

At the same time, strange wisps of gray smoke oozed from the cracks, as if the cursed item was about to break free of its restraints.

Moreover, the Monk's leather coat stored in the storage box was constantly hitting the lid.

The administrators quickly discovered the root cause of these problems.

Both the crow and the two props here belong to a patient, an outsider who was not part of the evil play when he was admitted to the hospital, and was placed in the intensive care unit because of his Ancestor's Injury.

"Luo Di!"

He took out the duct tape he carried with him to repair the skull box, and after suppressing the restless objects, he immediately reported the situation to the hospital.

The message came back quickly, instructing him to take these items to the intensive care unit.

Just as he was about to raise his questions, another urgent message arrived.

With no other option, the administrator had to load all the restless props onto a trolley and take the elevator to the upper floor.

The closer you get to the corresponding floor, the more intense the restlessness of these things becomes.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Soul-bound items are one thing, but this hilt used to belong to our Mischief. How come it resonates so strongly now that it's in the hands of an outsider?"

The elevator has arrived at the station.

As soon as the door opened.

A wave of heat rushed in, startling the administrators into a defensive posture, thinking the Spinebreakers had attacked. Upon closer inspection, they realized this was inside the hospital; if the Spinebreakers had actually attacked, the outside would have been in trouble first, and intrusion reports would have already spread.

Moreover, what flooded into the elevator was not just heat, but also something that did not belong to the spine, a tiny substance that could make the administrator's brain feel threatened.

"Ancestor Material... Impossible! Has the patient's treatment failed? Has the Ancestor Material in his body begun to spread outward, attempting to infect the environment?"

That's not right. If that were the case, the hospital should have activated its response plan long ago.

Moreover, my body doesn't seem to be affected; these Ancestor Material are very thin and harmless.

The administrator pulled the trolley to the end of the corridor. The door to the intensive care unit was open, and steam was constantly escaping from inside, making it impossible to see the condition of the interior.

Just as he was considering whether to go in,

A strong, powerful arm reached out from the Thick Fog and grabbed the trolley, pulling it inside.

The administrator needed to confirm the recipient of his goods, so he couldn't just let them be taken away. He tried to pull the cart back but found he couldn't budge it; the other person was incredibly strong.

They even pulled him in as well, bringing him into the intensive care unit.

The steam here slowly dissipated.

The administrator also witnessed an unbelievable scene.

The "Treatment Nerve" hanging from the ceiling, used to maintain life and repair injuries, are currently open but not connected to any patients.

The disabled patient who should have been hanging there was now standing right in front of him.

Moreover, the other party had already opened the box and was inserting the monk's robe, which was covered in metal needles, into his body.

The clothes are not fully on yet.

The administrator saw the unusual spine protruding from the patient's back. He had seen many spinal patients and all kinds of spines, but he had never seen one like this before.

Although it was quickly concealed by clothing, the ancient gray texture remained firmly etched in his mind.

"Ancestors... spine?"

The manager then looked at the person's face.

Gray hair fell down.

Metal chin

A high and straight nose

The dark the Devil's eyes seemed to have some kind of tentacles swaying between them, and it was currently staring at him sideways.

The sheer presence and the intense gaze forced the administrator to take two steps back and release the trolley.

When the administrator calmed himself down and looked over again, the other party had already put the hilt of the cursed knife into his waistband, and the raven had perched on his shoulder.

"Mr. Di, you've recovered?"

"Yes, thank you for keeping these things safe for me."

"No... it's nothing, it's just my job."

As the two chatted, the steam completely dissipated. Only then did the administrator realize that besides Luo Di, there was someone else in the intensive care unit—a figure far beyond his reach.

"Play Director! You're here too!"

"Now that the goods have been delivered, you can go back."

"Yes."

The administrator dared not linger and quickly retreated. But the curiosity fueled by his inner demons kept making him turn back to look at the strange-looking young man from another world.

He could clearly sense that the young man already possessed a talent for acting, but there were subtle differences.

Even though the other party is a spine person, he cannot feel any hostility towards them.

"Thank you, boss."

Luo Di was in high spirits after retrieving his belongings, and his return to the Human World had also brought him unexpected gains.

David's arms were covered with brain worms that Luo Di had brought back, most of which were replicated. With just a little time and materials, these human devices recorded among the brain worms could be transformed into what was here.

"No need to thank me, this is just a deal between the two of us."

Go back and wait for me to study the situation for a while. I'll let you know once I've determined the feasibility of making a film. In the meantime, you can choose to stay at the Grand Theater or in other parts of the city.

"I'll just stay at the Grand Theater; I don't have much money anyway."

"Let's go then... hiss~ I can't wait."

David's attention was not on Luo Di at all, not even on the "Old Spine" that exuded the aura of his ancestors.

Two slender arms sprouted from his eye sockets again, rubbing them incessantly in front of him.

All his attention was focused on these theatrical otherworldly devices, and he wanted to get back as soon as possible to watch the movie.

"Boss, wait a moment... I brought something else back with me."

"Didn't you give me all the brain worms? What else is there?"

"I brought a friend with me... a friend you saw when you peeked into my memories."

"Hmm? That 'class monitor,' didn't you say she was in a very deep place? And she doesn't seem to be a creature of our hell, nor is she like you, who was chosen by the True Hell. How could she have been brought here?"

David also became interested and quickly separated a portion and put it back on Luo Di.

The slender arms that grew out from between the Curtain Eye Sockets no longer rubbed their hands, but instead held them in front of their eyes in the shape of binoculars, amplifying their vision and giving them the effect of seeing through flesh.

He saw something unusual, something unusual that existed deep within Luo Di's abdomen.

"This is! An embryo... it actually has the attributes of hell."

Despite lacking reproductive organs, Luo Di, a male, developed a unique embryo inside his stomach.

It is currently growing rapidly and is estimated to be in its initial form in less than a day.
