Diary (End of This Volume)

Agatha's ascension to the demon realm, Hawke had already taken her away.

Luo Di stayed an extra day in the hospital before embarking on his journey home, as it was essential to restore his body to its best condition. However, he didn't return alone; he went with two others.

We boarded the most reliable Chamber of Commerce cruise ship at the port again, and this time we even stayed in a more luxurious cabin, with all expenses paid by one person.

Besides Luo Di and Karlien

A young man wearing glasses was sitting with his legs crossed on the windowsill, enjoying a special drink made with eyeballs. As the name suggests, it was a special drink with many different creatures' eyeballs floating in it.

Karlien stood obediently beside this man the whole time, looking completely honest.

The young man wearing glasses was none other than Oculus. He seemed to be deliberately maintaining his human form in order to communicate with Luo Di.

"Luo Di, do you think the ancestral encounters during this trip to hell were due to the boss's good fortune, or your own luck? You just happened to meet this special ancestor, the Gate Ancestor. Although you suffered hardships, you gained a lot."

Both you and Karlien have inherited ancestral traits.

Luo Di also leaned against the window, looking at the viscous sea filled with ancient corpses. "Since the Gate Ancestor is so special to you, why haven't you encountered him among so many ships that go out to sea every day?"

The fact that I encountered this on my very first voyage is most likely due to my personal reasons.

It's highly likely that the Overlord considered this possibility.

"Indeed~ That's good! The boss has new fun now. By the way, do you want to stay in Nest City and join my forces or the Overlord's forces to participate in the war?"

It is expected that one month later,

The True Hell is about to begin its World Invasion, which should be a good training opportunity for you. Moreover, since your nature is that of one of us, the Spineborn, you should focus on warfare as much as possible.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Eye, but I have no plans to participate in the war for the time being. I have already completed the blueprints for the door and urgently need the materials to build it."

Currently, there is no such material in the entire hell.

Oculos picked up an eyeball with a toothpick, put it in his mouth, and bit it off with a snap. "Oh, is that so? That's good... So when are you going to come to the Fifth Hospital after you go back?"

"My current situation in the Human World is rather special; I'm under some restrictions. If I'm freed from these restrictions, I'll make time to come over."

"I don't care about war~ But if you go back to the human side, come over as soon as possible!"

Although Hawke pretends to know everything and is familiar with your area, he has never actually left the Fifth Hospital. He only learns about the outside world through various books and media.

Once our area of activity expands, and we are even able to move around freely, Hawke's pretentious ignorance will likely lead to his identity being exposed very quickly.

So we need you, a local, to be our guide and help us get to know human habits, such as eating habits.

Hawke said that when humans eat, their attention isn't on the food, but rather on a metal circuit board. This behavior certainly doesn't exist in our hell; we need to learn it.

Luo Di immediately grasped the key point of the sentence, shifting his gaze from the sea to the face of the youth who was Oculus in disguise.

"The Fifth Hospital is a fixed World Anchor Point, so your activity area should only be inside it, right?"

If they want to come out and move around, they either need to send down a suitable avatar like the Corner Monster, or the two worlds need to connect at close range, or they need to build the Hell portal that Mr. Hook mentioned before.

Oculos shook the eyeball in his hand, "Our true forms will definitely not descend, otherwise your surface world will not be able to withstand it, and it will easily alert the so-called [Corner] to directly target us."

Although we are quite strong, we are not yet ready to confront a world full of unknowns.

Guess what Hawke and I came all this way for?

"Got it... Mr. David, right?"

"That's right, David is very skilled in spatial manipulation. With his secrets added, we should be able to expand our operational area beyond the Fifth Hospital, so come over as soon as you have time."

"Knew."

The raven galloped across the hellish plains, leaving a trail of gray in its wake.

The changes to the Old Spine transformed the once-stained black spine, representing the messenger, into the gray spine, representing the exile.

But Luo Di wasn't worried at all. An eye ring given to him by Oculus allowed him to easily enter the city and return to the Mid-Nest region where he had started, back to the Spine People's dwelling.

The lengthy "personal offline procedures" were completed on Luo Di's side, and a group of flying spines transported something resembling a hibernation pod over to replace the bed in the room.

All Luo Di needs to do is lie down inside, allowing his spine to fully align with the internal nutrient slots, and his body will receive eternal dormant replenishment, without any change even after ten or a hundred years.

Everything is settled.

Luo Di didn't have anything to miss.

Bring everything you need and lie down inside.

This hibernation device not only preserves Luo Di's physical body in Hell, but also monitors his detailed physical condition. As Luo Di falls into a deep sleep, his consciousness departs.

The instrument also provided corresponding test results and uploaded them to the spinal cord center.

<Luo Di's Individual Information has undergone significant changes, the details of which are as follows>

"Spine Type & Quality": Metal Chainsaw, S → Old Spine, S+*

*S+ This is the highest rating that an average spinal surgeon can give.

During Luo Di's Hell Journey, there were several instances where he deliberately severed his consciousness projection and temporarily returned to his Human Main Body.

This process is very fast; from a sensory perspective, it's just a moment.

Once the physical body on the hell side severs its connection, the human side can open its eyes.

But this time it was different.

When Luo Di, lying in the hibernation pod, severed the projection of his consciousness, his eyes remained closed for a long time, and he did not receive any physical sensation.

It was as if consciousness was constantly settling in the dark quagmire, as if something was blocking its return.

hot...

A wave of heat swept over,

Even without physical senses, that ethereal consciousness can still feel the intense heat.

The intense heat also brought a sound.

A voice that did not belong to any the Devil, but rather to the depths of hell.

<Ancient inheritance, systemic integration, somber gray... If your gate remains unique, you will be given a choice.>

The brief hellish sound ended,

Luo Di felt like he was being roasted alive and suddenly opened his eyes.

The high-temperature alarm had been activated throughout the entire enclosed cell. The high-end air conditioner inside was broken. The prison guards were carrying over huge blocks of ice, and the first few blocks had already sublimated and disappeared.

Luo Di also saw the burned skin on the back of his hand and could feel the severely burned skin under his clothes.

It was clearly just a return of consciousness.

But it felt as if I had just fallen into the depths of hell and sunk into the scorching magma for a while.

The next second he suddenly remembered something very important, before the prison guard could come over and turn on the restraint switch on the chair.

With a slight exertion of his arm, he snapped the metal restraints in two again.

He suddenly stood up and threw off his black overcoat.

A crow, though its body temperature was high, still had soft feathers, and its dark eyes made eye contact with Luo Di.

When the crow appeared, all the prison guards' detectors immediately sounded a loud alarm, and they all went on high alert, taking out their stun guns and aiming them at Luo Di.

Luo Di, however, didn't care at all.

He simply smiled, gently stroked the crow's head, and whispered, "Looks like I don't need to take a driving test."

The Hell Journey has ended.

Luo Di will need to stay in prison for some time.

Furthermore, due to his agreement with the acting warden, Luo Di is required to remain here for a period of time as a "High-Value Death Row Inmate," actively cooperating with personnel from various City Investigation Bureau.

Perhaps it was due to exposure to bad movies and completing my first film shoot.

Luo Di also became good at communicating and easily put himself in the role of the murderer.

Go and carefully analyze the case, or cooperate with them to write some research on the psychology of serial killers.

A few days later, Luo Di suddenly realized that he had lost an important habit.

He felt it necessary to find his old diary and, taking advantage of the time he had free in prison, record all his hellish experiences. To this end, he made a deal with a City Investigation Bureau.

As long as he helps kill a "person", they will arrange for someone to send the diary back.

"Mr. Di, the visitor has arrived."

Agent Anderson and Agent Zhang Chi would like to discuss the latest Butterfly Killer case with you.

P. S.: This volume is finished. I'll take a day to rest and reorganize. The new volume will begin updating the day after tomorrow.
