Moonlight

Five strips of flesh were gouged out of his right shoulder by the other person's fingers.

His abdomen was dented inward, his ribs were broken, and some of his organs were damaged.

He landed more than ten meters away, covered in mud.

But beneath the mask, there was no pain whatsoever; instead, there was calm as usual, and even a subtle sense of enjoyment.

The Old Spine rapidly transports energy towards the injured area.

First, the basic outline is reconstructed using fine wires, and then flesh and blood are added to quickly repair it.

As the body repairs itself, a light gray substance appears to cover the wounds, making the repaired flesh harder and less susceptible to damage.

Although Luo Di was surprised that his opponent could increase the refresh rate and use it directly in actual combat, and that his overall combat style had completely changed, his close-combat killing was not much worse Luo Di's.

But that's not surprising.

That's what makes it interesting—it has to be this powerful.

Moreover, the Chainsaw Blade cuts were not entirely useless.

When a chainsaw cuts through the flesh, it doesn't simply slice.

The shredded meat is transported along with the tentacle tracks on the Chainsaw Blade to the handle. After further digestion and absorption, it is sent into Luo Di's body, reaching his spine.

The vast majority of it will be used as nutrition for the spine, while a small portion of the essence will be sent to the brain region to supply the pituitary gland for special supplementation and analysis.

However, this process cannot be completed all at once; it takes time.

This means that once the opponent refreshes, the substance being absorbed will also disappear. What appeared to be the complete severance of the arm was actually only less than half a fingernail's worth of substance being absorbed.

Even if it's just a little bit,

When this nutrient is delivered to the pituitary gland, it is immediately absorbed by that moon-shaped pituitary gland.

A long-lost whisper came from the corner:

<Monster Information Obtained - Wei Junzhe (Partial)>

*Because the flesh and blood consumed are not the Monster Main Body, but rather its incarnation, only partial information can be obtained.

Fear type: [Black Gate - Psychopathic Killer]

Fear subclass: voyeurism, filming, imprisonment.

Personal Information: I have obtained an Important Corner Identity and a Corner Private Residence*. Address:?? (Address information is not displayed; you need to find it yourself).

Promotion path: Large-scale intermediary (27 people)

Pituitary Level:?? (Currently in the seed stage, its true form has reached a higher level)

Pituitary Plant Comprehensive Ranking Index (BFQ):?? (Ranking within a corner; detailed information about the plant is required)

Main activity depth: Mid-Shallow Layer

Related abilities: Unlimited Polaroid*, Photo Realization*, Human Killer*.

*The original body's abilities are unknown; the avatar displays a weakened version of those abilities.

1. Individuals can use Polaroid camera to take directional photos and reset themselves.

2. You can obtain the corresponding status by eating past selfies.

3. When the target is a humanoid creature, it will cause a greater Fear effect and a greater killing effect.

The Corner's Whisper and the hints about the monster still didn't pull Luo Di out of his acting mode.

Or rather, his id was already aware that he was acting, but his ego remained immersed in it, quickly extracting key information from this information.

The original body can achieve "infinity," but it is currently just a projected monster avatar, which is bound to have flaws. The use of the camera is bound to be limited, and therefore finite.

That's enough to know.

and,

Even with his eyes closed, Luo Di could already feel it, sensing that the Old Spine on his back was about to reach saturation during this performance.

Huff... He exhaled gray steam, a surge of excitement rising within him.

The body that had been lying on the ground straightened up instantly like a spring.

Continue engaging the opponent in direct combat.

This time, the squad leader's head on the shoulder also joined the battle, not to attack, but to provide verbal support.

Her tongue curled into a strange shape, and she hummed a kind of background music that resembled a piano.

La la la~

It was as if the music was playing in accompaniment to Luo Di's massacre.

It's as if a somber background music is being added to the climax of the movie.

When photographer Wei Junzhe heard this sound, despite the absence of any illusionary interference, he felt very uncomfortable. It seemed that, enhanced by the music, Luo Di before him became even more oppressive.

He didn't think this impact was a big concern.

In Wei Junzhe's view, this serial killer was certainly special, but he was still too young.

As long as you can't touch the Rules, you're destined to lose in the end.

blink,

Flashes of light kept going off in the rainy night.

No matter how severe the injury, Wei Junzhe can recover instantly after the flash, and even his blinking speed becomes faster and faster. The only effect on him is that his eyes are a little dry.

Just a second ago, his body was split in two.

The next second he returned to his original state and used five fingers to pierce through Luo Di's body.

Luo Di's body continued to accumulate injuries, but no matter how badly he was hurt, he could always get up quickly, and the wounds on his body would be connected by wires. Even if his body hadn't healed, the metal wires could still provide the necessary repairs.

and,

Wei Junzhe also gradually discovered something strange.

His attacks were fast and unpredictable enough, but they could only damage Luo Di.

If the attack targets the head or spine, the opponent's tongue can snap.

Despair!

Whenever that sound is heard, Luo Di always manages to avoid the vital points at crucial moments.

Nearly half an hour of head-on combat has passed.

Although Wei Junzhe was unharmed, he became restless and uneasy.

Looking at the young man before me, whose body was riddled with holes and whose arms were suspended by a few wires, I was amazed that he could still stand up and was practically still alive.

"Damn it... Wu Wen set a trap and suddenly dragged me here. I didn't even have time to bring my 'items' with me. Otherwise, I could have easily killed this guy. It's too troublesome to do it bare-handed."

Hmm? The rain has lessened, and there's moonlight?

Wei Junzhe reached out and felt the rain getting lighter and lighter. The originally completely dark environment was now being illuminated by a faint light.

He temporarily shifted his gaze away from Luo Di, who even had difficulty walking, making it impossible to quickly close the distance.

He looked up at the sky, which had been filled with ashes.

A slender crescent moon could be faintly seen between the gaps in the ashes, only a small part of it showing, sparingly casting down a few rays of moonlight.

"Huh? This world has a moon too?"

When Wei Junzhe looked back, Luo Di, whose legs were broken, was already standing in front of him, his blade already swinging down.

Blink!

Click!

As he refreshed his body, Wei Junzhe did not continue his attack this time, but instead took the initiative to create some distance... This was the first time he had taken the initiative to retreat since the start of the fight.

He sensed something was wrong, something was amiss.

This was his instinct as a monster; his ability to survive in the depths of the Corner and even acquire property was not something that could be achieved by luck alone.

If he encountered this situation in a corner and instinctively sensed something was amiss, he would abandon his pursuit no matter how beautiful the Girl was.

But things are different now.

He was temporarily trapped here, as if the entire space had been fixed. Only by clearing out everyone here, or running to a secluded corner where no one would disturb him, could he slowly find a way to establish a connection with the corner and allow his avatar to return to his original body.

"Something's not right with this guy. His mask seems to be radiating light like the moon. The pituitary gland he's acquired seems to be from the legendary Cthulhu Mythos, the most difficult one to deal with."

This is so troublesome~

The passively formed avatar is indeed too weak, and its methods are limited.

The current situation isn't worth taking any risks, not even the slightest bit... Find a secluded place, draw Teleportation Array array, and then go back.

After a proper rest, we'll resume tracking Wu Wen.

Wei Junzhe retreated.

Even though Luo Di was already badly injured,

But looking at the strange mask on the other person's face, watching a ray of moonlight fall on the mask, and seeing the other person still maintaining a completely upright posture.

He made up his mind, turned around, and rushed into the darkness behind him.

At that time, all he needs to do is eat a quiet photo of himself from his childhood, and he will be able to enter a state of complete silence, without making any sound or emitting any breath.

It will take some more time to build the corner portal so we can go back.

However,

He didn't run into the darkness for long.

But their steps stopped.

Because the scene before his eyes was exactly the same as before, he was back in front of the hotel, and Luo Di was still standing there staring at him.

Wei Junzhe turned around again and ran into the darkness behind him, but the result was the same.

No matter what, he would always return to the hotel, as if the hotel was the only space there, and he could never leave.

and,

With each of his escape attempts and returns, the night grew brighter, and a strange moon appeared.

When enough moonlight fell on Luo Di,

The mask on his face began to wriggle.

The Old Spine on the back of his clothes also began to change slightly.

The Girl's head that had landed on Luo Di's shoulder stopped singing, the storm subsided, and all was silent.

A voice in Mandarin that Wei Junzhe could understand came from under the mask:

"Spinal opening..."
