Exit

Waiting area.

The surveillance footage from Luo Di's location has been restored to normal.

Seeing that Luo Di was safe and sound, Hua Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that she would be the first to be logged off because she had encountered a dead end right at the beginning of the game, after all, she had spent half of her money on Luo Di.

But the next second in the scene, Luo Di's leg is broken.

Hua Yuan immediately recognized that the monster with the severed leg was no ordinary creature; it was clearly a valuable item that someone had purchased at a high price from the talent market.

Compared to Luo Di's odds of up to 5, this White Gate Monster has odds of 2.3.

Moreover, he was dismembered at the start and affected by the opponent's misfortune, so by all accounts, he was destined to be killed.

And so it unfolded. Luo Di's limbs were severed bit by bit, and he was gradually reduced to a human stump, utterly powerless to fight back. But Hua Yuan's expression showed no distress; instead, she seemed puzzled, sensing something amiss.

Sure enough, at the last moment, Luo Di struck unexpectedly, killing him with a single blow.

"Mr. Di, you've really changed a lot. In the past, he would have definitely gone head-to-head with us, but now he actually knows how to play dirty tricks~ He kills enemies efficiently and greatly reduces the risks. He's adapted to the game's pace so quickly."

The man I like is pretty good, isn't he, Sister Yu Lu?

Just as Hua Yuan was about to share her joy with her new best friend, she discovered that Yu Lu wasn't paying attention to Luo Di at all. Instead, she was watching other surveillance footage and occasionally observing the people on site, seemingly searching for something.

Inside the parking lot.

With the killings completed,

A corpse appeared in Luo Di's Pituitary Space, a complete thin-skinned skeleton.

This is not a corpse in the true sense, but a product of consciousness.

After Luo Di finishes killing the monsters, he can form a "corpse-like" sediment of consciousness, which is collected in the Pituitary Space and becomes the material for the door.

therefore,

The Gate of Demon Ascension Luo Di wanted to build was not a real thing, but a product of his mind. The inspiration for this construction came from a particularly Wanted Criminal in Hell.

This method of building a door is more straightforward and simpler.

Luo Di did not linger in the killing zone, quickly leaving to continue his exploration of the parking lot.

[Fifteen minutes later]

On the cargo bed of a pickup truck.

With his eyeballs gouged out, his jaw missing, and even his tongue gone, Luo Di was suppressing his target and preparing for the final execution.

As the Chainsaw Blade fell, a cutting sound echoed in the Underground Parking Lot.

A monster corpse covered in spikes, with deformed and elongated limbs, and even lacking a skull structure, fell into the Pituitary Space.

The body was then collected.

Compared to the previous White Gate Monster, this thing isn't that powerful. And not only is it weaker, it's also rather dim-witted.

When Luo Di cut open the other's skull, intending to collect the pituitary gland inside... Hiss~ An extremely foul stench, like the smell of a dead rat pickled in a kimchi jar for several months, immediately wafted out, making Luo Di gag a little, and he immediately put on Jaw Ripper.

Immediately following, a thick, black liquid with an extremely strong odor seeped out from the gaps in the skull.

Luo Di suppressed his nausea and lifted the skull, only to find that there was no brain inside, just a pool of putrid fluid, and even the pituitary gland was completely liquefied.

"This must be what Hua Yuan was talking about, those corrupted monsters affected by the disaster, which belong to a more inferior kind of existence."

Completely consumed by the Fear Entity, its brain liquefies, and it loses its autonomy. Even plants that were originally able to develop according to a normal system become chaotic.

Unfortunately, we can't collect the pituitary glands anymore.

Luo Di began to repair himself.

First, pick up the mangled chin that had fallen to the ground and reattach it, then sew it up with wire.

As for the eyeball that was poked by the other party, tentacles grew directly in the eye socket area, intertwined with each other to form a sphere, and quickly completed an alternative eyeball regeneration.

Although he cannot yet achieve Super-Fast Regeneration

However, combined with the diversity of pituitary color and the super vitality reserves of Old Spine, some very ordinary, slow regeneration can already be achieved.

However, Luo Di's stitching work was not yet finished. Looking at the corpse of the monster he had killed in front of him, he thought for a moment and then began to work.

First, sew the monster's head back together with wire, trying to prevent too much of the black liquid inside from leaking out and to maintain the integrity of the brain.

They then meticulously stitched back together the body that had been Chainsaw Blade, even piecing together some of the debris that had splattered out during the cutting process, making the corpse more complete.

at last,

A hook was inserted into the back of the corpse's neck, and a one-meter-long iron chain structure dragged the corpse behind it.

Although dragging it on the ground would make quite a noise, Luo Di didn't care anymore. He already knew the key to the first challenge, and now he had the means to pass it.

They strolled confidently through the garage, following the signs to the so-called "exit."

Along the way, he also caught glimpses of several other participants, all of whom were hiding in the shadows and observing Luo Di, watching his blatant dragging behavior.

In the end, they chose to retreat because Luo Di's behavior was too strange... He hadn't even sprouted yet, but he could kill monsters and deliberately exposed himself.

that's all,

Without any obstruction, Luo Di approached the exit.

Even without the warning of the tongue, he could still feel immense pressure as the thing guarding the exit was approaching him.

Luo Di didn't hesitate, nor did he deliberately lower his voice.

They continued to walk with the same pace, the soles of their leather shoes making a steady sound as they struck the concrete.

Tap tap tap~

Their footsteps almost overlapped, and they collided head-on at the turn.

Standing in front of Luo Di was a figure whose appearance was almost identical to Mr. Question Mark.

He was dressed in a standard gentleman's suit, with leather shoes and even a tie, and his head was covered by a cloth bag.

The only difference is that there is no question mark pattern on the face bag; it's just a regular bag head.

In addition, he was dragging a large cloth bag behind him, which was already filled with a lot of things.

Luo Di used his Old Spine to brace against the pressure and suppress the direct invasion of fear. With his left hand, he pulled the iron chain in his hand... clang~ pulling the monster's corpse in front of him.

There was no verbal communication.

The sack-headed man grabbed the corpse that Luo Di had given him and threw it into his own sack compartment.

After completing this series of actions, the threat posed by the cloak-headed creature instantly decreased to zero.

Luo Di could sense that the other party's killing intent and hostility had completely vanished, turning into a harmless being, at least to him.

This is the key to passing the level.

Although the first level only mentions that participants need to find an exit and escape, it never mentions that they need to fight each other. But how can a game with death as its theme be entirely focused on escape?

Participation is the passport.

To leave the underground parking garage, one of the participants must be handed over, dead or alive, it should be fine. To be on the safe side, Luo Di stitched the body up as intact as possible, and preserved the brain as much as possible.

Although Luo Di wanted to stay in the underground parking garage for a while longer,

Kill a few more low-level monsters to accumulate materials to open the door, but due to time constraints, it's better to leave directly.

Judging from Mr. Question Mark's tone, the Death Grand Gauntlet should have multiple levels, which can be collected gradually later. Moreover, the quality of the corpses collected later will inevitably be higher.

The exit of the underground parking garage is a 45° ramp.

As Luo Di walked up the slope, his gaze unexpectedly fell upon a blonde girl standing at the end.

The other person escaped from the parking lot faster than him, but is now standing at the end of the exit, waiting for someone.

The figure and height looked unfamiliar, but the back view seemed somewhat familiar to Luo Di, as if he had seen it somewhere before... and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed, and he wanted to go up and see the other person's face.

Luo Di gradually quickened his pace, turning from walking into a jog.

The right hand also slowly rises during this process.

Just as they were about to touch the blonde girl,

He heard a gentle laugh.

The Girl, who had been standing at the end, suddenly took a step forward and left... Luo Di, who was following closely behind, tried to reach out and grab her, but instead stepped out of the exit.

Buzz!

Spatial Transfer.

He returned to the waiting area.

Returning to the place where we initially left,

The blonde girl from before has been replaced by Hua Yuan.

Luo Di's raised arm landed perfectly on Hua Yuan's body.

Perhaps it triggered some unpleasant memory.

Perhaps it was too sudden and direct.

This sudden physical assault caused Hua Yuan to experience a severe stress reaction. Luo Di's palms instantly blossomed with flowers, while his arms and even his body began to wither and decay.
