The area outside the photography studio.

Boxed lunch distribution area.

The green-haired youth deliberately chose a boxed lunch with a high meat content, and after obtaining permission, took three portions, simply because his body was currently experiencing a significant energy deficit.

Of course, he appeared completely unharmed, with not even a tear in his clothes.

Carrying their boxed lunches, they arrived at the front row of the area where they could watch the movie being filmed.

Only three people are seated here.

The green-haired youth carrying the lunchbox came to the right and stood next to one of them, looking quite reserved. The other person was sitting with his legs crossed on a recliner, looking like a recent medical graduate, refined and wearing thick glasses.

"Lord Eye".

"Where did you get this ability? You can actually create a clone of the tumor-ridden person that is almost identical to your original body?"

"After discussing with Luo Di, Agatha and the others, this should be the influence of the Gate Ancestor."

My tumor has been tainted with some ancient properties, and combined with the staff I bought from the merchant guild and the Hell Magic I recently learned, it's just the right amount to create a perfect clone.

Unlike before, when we could only create mindless Tumor Crystal Monster.

"A gift from the Gate Ancestor? Or is there some other enhancement?"

"Hmm... I feel the flow rate of pus in my body has greatly increased, and the effect of the plague has been amplified."

When will you open?

"It should be soon."

"Very good."

Upon receiving praise from Lord Eye, Karlien immediately opened the lunchbox and devoured three large bites. To his surprise, the lunchbox provided by the prankster was unexpectedly delicious, and he swallowed the entire container with his open mouth.

Seeing that Karlien had almost finished chewing, the Lord Eye continued to ask:

"What do you think of this creature from another world?"

Karlien could tell that the Lord Eye was testing his [insight], which was also the point the Eye Master valued most, so he quickly responded:

"It's very strange, very strong, and very stressful! Even with my true form and Agatha's help, I don't have much of a chance of winning. This is the first time I've ever seen such a bizarre creature."

Moreover, what came to our side was not the true form of the opponent, but rather some kind of avatar or projection of consciousness.

The female, referred to as the 'class monitor,' who was also Mr. Di's mate, seemed to have known in advance that this thing would come along, so she arranged a body in the hotel that could accommodate it and drew some kind of docking symbol.

Ultimately, the goal should be to coordinate with the effects of the photography studio so that the other party is forced to descend upon the prepared body here.

The opponent's true form should be stronger, perhaps much stronger... but if they can kill the descending avatar, they should also weaken some of the true form's power.

"Have you observed the true nature of the opponent's methods?"

Karlien paused for a moment; this was the question he feared most.

If he had grasped the essence of the matter, he would have shared intelligence with Agatha and joined forces against the enemy long ago, instead of making multiple attempts and ultimately being forced to gouge out his own eyes.

Now we can only draw conclusions based on the last intelligence we've gathered.

"Sound... flash... no... it should be a photo?"

Oculos nodded. "A very special ability, touching the ' Rules Edge,' your defeat is normal. This guy's original form in that world should indeed be very strong, enough to rival some of our elite great demons."

Moreover, he has the upper hand in a direct confrontation.

"It sounds to Lord Eye, Mr. Roddy, that Mr. Di's world is very dangerous?"

"Indeed, we've never seen anything like this in all the worlds we've invaded. Moreover, their world structure is very strange; the whole world seems to be still developing."

However, in terms of what is truly special, Luo Di's partner seems to be even more special.

It's truly impressive that she could come up with such a 'kill three birds with one stone' strategy at such a young age.

It can help Luo Di perfect the Old Spine,

We can also use our hands to eliminate this major threat.

She could also use this to gain David's favor and a villainous identity.

"Hmm... that female is indeed dangerous." Karlien couldn't help but think of the feeling he had last night when the class monitor stared at him through the wall; for a moment, it felt as if his entire body was no longer under his control.

Do you think Luo Di can beat him?

Karlien shook his head. "One person definitely can't do it. Even if his Old Spine can be fully opened, it's probably still a long shot. But it's hard to say if two people work together... Besides, I can't observe the shape of the Old Spine's opening. I'll have to see the specifics later."

"You need to work on your eyesight."

Feeling criticized by the Lord Eye, Karlien ate three more mouthfuls and then fell silent.

[Inside the hotel]

Agatha, nearly consumed by fear,

When she heard the heavy footsteps coming from the stairwell, it was as if a hand reached out to her, pulling her out of the quagmire of fear and onto the shore, allowing her to catch her breath.

Although her body was "in sync" with the photograph, she was unable to make any movements.

But her speech was not affected; she subconsciously wanted to call out the other person's name and ask for their help.

But when she shifted her gaze to the side, besides seeing the huge leather shoe descending, she also saw a Girl's head hanging from her waistband.

And this head, positioned at an angle where it wouldn't be seen by others, was watching Agatha.

Tongue wriggling~

The Girl's head was slowly opening her mouth, and an index finger was curled between her tongue. As her tongue moved, she raised her index finger, making a shushing gesture.

The tongue was quickly retracted, and the eyes became lifeless, as if nothing had happened, as if the head hanging at the waist was just an inanimate object.

It was during this brief and strange exchange that Agatha calmed down, preventing her from calling out Luo Di's name and thus interrupting the filming.

After all, according to the script, she didn't know Luo Di.

The serial killer from the stairwell has come down.

Snap!

A hand wearing a black leather glove gripped her neck, and with a forceful movement, threw Agatha off the counter, several meters away into the aisle on the other side.

Serial killers have hunting priorities.

The Girl before him, imprisoned, with a missing arm and fear filling her eyes, had lost her qualification as prey and was temporarily removed from his priority list.

The eyes beneath the mask turned to the man behind the counter, the same man who had stolen his prey.

The other side was also carrying out a massacre here, which Luo Di absolutely could not allow, because this inn had been his hunting ground from the very beginning.

The slightly thin man with a camera hanging around his neck stared wide-eyed at the head hanging on Luo Di's waist.

"You killed Wu Wen?!"

The man instantly flew into a rage; his already thin body seemed to swell, almost bursting out of his shirt. But he sniffed hard, and his anger quickly subsided.

"You already have Wu Wen's scent on you. That guy is a master of disguise. He's probably playing dead right now, isn't he? If I'm not mistaken, are you two a couple?"

Marvelous!

This is exactly what I like... Don't worry, I won't kill you! I'll just break your arms and legs, then tie you to the chair, and make you watch me and Wu Wen..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The man suddenly saw a beam of light, as if moonlight was shining on his face.

It's completely different from the sudden, intense, and stimulating effect of a flash.

It is a cold, gentle sensation, as if splashed on the skin, as if it could seep into the flesh.

Whoosh!

The man's head was cleaved in two, and his tongue, which was speaking, split open on both sides.

Luo Di's expression remained unchanged; he simply regarded the man before him as an intruder who had entered his territory and was vying for his prey, thus prioritizing killing him above all else.
