The Lake, the Flower, the Girl, and the Youth

Time returns to the point where Luo Di, having had his body rebuilt by the Hell Trio, returns to the Nexus.

Having obtained the "data" from You Zhen, he discovered that even if he reset his body, cleared his mind, or was simply in the Nexus, he would still be affected by the clown.

Luo Di's decision to go to the corner meant he would inevitably be found again.

Even if they manage to reach the headquarters of the Exploration Bureau, they may encounter the Joker at any time when they explore corners in small teams.

Luo Di is still far from being a match for the Joker.

Once they're targeted, it won't just be him who suffers, but the entire team.

According to the Exploration Bureau's assessment of the Joker's danger, there is a high probability that everyone will die.

Although the Exploration Bureau also proposed a "bait" plan, which involved using Luo Di as bait to lure out the Joker before sending senior agents to kill him.

Let's not even talk about whether this plan can actually lure out the clown.

Moreover, Luo Di was extremely averse to being used as bait; he had to execute people himself, which was his original intention in becoming a "murderer."

in addition,

Luo Di himself also needs to stay in the corner for a while to build the "Gate of Demon Ascension".

The "Gate of Demon Ascension" and "Pituitary Gland Sprouting" must be carried out at the same time to keep the two different systems in sync in terms of progress, so as to maintain balance and promote synergistic growth.

So he had to come up with a solution.

One that won't implicate friends and teammates

It can also collect building materials in the corner.

And they were not threatened by the clown before opening the door.

A way to ensure that the Exploration Bureau does not get involved in the Joker's affair.

Such a method might seem like a pipe dream to others, but it might actually be feasible for Luo Di.

Since viewing Joker-related archival materials in Nexus can be influenced at the level of thinking...

Among the people Luo Di encountered, including the Pseudo-Human, there was one with similar abilities. After entering the corner as a monster with a high-ranking status, this person's abilities must have been greatly enhanced.

Perhaps by thinking about things related to her, we can reconnect.

Moreover, this Pseudo-Human may have left something inside Luo Di's body, which could perhaps deepen this connection.

In his bedroom, Luo Di recalled his experience on the Saiwei Resort Island, and thought of that flawless face.

When he opened his eyes again, the other party had not arrived, nor did he show any signs of fear.

However, the flowers on the windowsill became even more lush, and it seemed that the stamens were even turned towards Luo Di.

Perhaps the distance was too great, separated by multiple corners and levels, making it impossible to have a clear sense of it.

When Luo Di came to the windowsill and picked up the potted plant, he heard a soft whisper, as if Flower Nectar were flowing into his ear.

"Come deep into the world, find me..."

Night, mist, cold lake.

The pitch-black lake surface resembled a corpse, devoid of any fish swimming or animal activity, and the entire lake surface was completely free of any ripples caused by the movement of any living creature.

Only a few emerged from the water.

The stem has a columnar structure.

From a certain perspective, it also looks like an organ structure.

Very few stems Guild Leader produce flowers.

When enough mature flowers have grown, flower pickers will come here to harvest them.

It's not harvest season today, and there are hardly any flowers in sight.

Strangely,

A wooden boat appeared amidst the Thick Fog.

A soft, sweet humming sound, like a honeyed whisper, drifted from the wooden boat and spread across the tranquil lake.

Upon hearing this song, the stems standing upright on the water seemed to grow longer and larger, their tips yearning to sprout something, but the conditions were not met, preventing them from doing so.

A pair of wet, unclothed legs lay folded sideways inside the boat.

Although the slightly over-waisted tulle skirt covered her body, her figure was still faintly visible.

With her slender hands gripping the oars, the Girl propelled the wooden boat alone across the lake.

Her destination seemed clear; she went straight towards a certain spot on the lake without stopping or turning.

finally,

The wood pulp in his hand stopped moving.

They continued forward using the remaining speed.

Finally, it stopped in front of a stem that was also standing upright on the lake.

The top of the stem has sprouted plump flower buds, pink with a hint of red, and the red also exudes the color of flesh.

The flower buds are much larger than normal flowers, with a diameter of over one meter.

Something seems to be brewing inside.

As the Girl placed her hand on the surface of the flower bud, streams of primordial energy flowed into it, causing the bud to ripen prematurely and begin to bloom.

Strangely,

The fully opened petals dried up and withered completely in a short time, falling into the lake and sinking.

It seemed as if something inside the flower was sucking up the essence of new life, as if the flower's growth was solely for the purpose of nourishing the individual within.

When all the petals have fully bloomed and then withered,

A young man was huddled on a lonely flower stalk.

A Black-haired Youth with perfect body proportions and well-defined muscles, especially his protruding gray Old Spine, was still extracting the last bit of essence from the flower bud.

Even the Girl frowned when she saw the spine.

at the same time,

Glug glug~

Numerous bubbles rose to the surface of the lake, carrying a jet-black coat, and a bladeless knife hilt appeared on the water.

Girl a gentle wave of her hand, the props were rolled onto the wooden boat.

The flower-shaped support also carried a naked young man onto the boat.

The mist descended, spreading around the ship like a bed curtain, and the Girl leaned down, pressing completely onto the unconscious boy.

Smelling the familiar scent, it pressed against my body.

face to face,

Unable to suppress the desires within, even those that had been suppressed for nearly a year.

Wet lips quickly pressed against each other, wanting to savor the other's taste.

But just as their lips touched, about to penetrate deeper...

Ga~

The cawing of crows echoed across the still lake.

The young man had a strange crow hidden in his beak, which was now warily watching the Girl who was trying to invade its master's territory.

The Girl also looked puzzled. She had never seen this thing before and didn't understand why the crow was in the young man's mouth.

However, she quickly noticed the black pupils on the crow's forehead.

Those eyes seemed to have an extremely strong penetrating power, as if her body was completely exposed and naked under those eyes, and the hidden Monster Main Body seemed to be revealed.

Moreover, she vaguely sensed a danger, a danger that didn't belong to this corner.

Completely lost interest

The Girl quickly moved aside, and with a wave of her hand, several lotus leaves flew from the lake and wrapped her up, and she curled up at the stern of the boat.

The young man slowly woke up because of the cawing of the crows.

The monk's robes on the ship were immediately put on the young man's body, and the sharp spikes pierced deep into his flesh. The painful stimulation quickly brought the young man back to his senses.

"Hua Yuan, thank you."

The Girl slightly raised her head, her eyes, framed by a beauty mark, gleaming with a fierce light.

"Stop talking nonsense and get down so I can give you a couple of bends. That's what 'thank you' means. Verbal thanks are useless to Jill. I risked my life to bring you here."

Do you know what you've gotten yourself into?

The other party doesn't seem to intend to kill you, but rather to take you back to the [residence]; otherwise, you would already be dead.

"Hua Yuan, do you know that clown?"

"I don't know them, but my Grandmother once told me about a special Monster Organization."

This organization is fundamentally different from sorority societies. It is a strictly limited group with no fixed location, representing absolute depravity and morbidity.

That clown must be a member of that organization.

"What organization?"

"The Hateful Eight".

"A non-fixed organization formed by eight monsters?"

"Yes, limited to eight... and each member has considerable strength and a unique personality."

Even sorority sorority members wouldn't dare provoke such an organization. It's not that they're weaker, but rather that if you offend them, these eight extremely morbid individuals will haunt you from all sorts of dark corners.

How did you get targeted by this thing? Didn't you just come to the corner?

After Hua Yuan raised the question, she immediately noticed the change in Luo Di's expression. Instead of pressing him for an answer, she picked up the oars again and started rowing the boat.

"Since you've chosen to come to me, you should listen to what I have to say."
