Rain

In the stairwell.

The dark staircases crisscross, and players who normally participate in True Death Game would not come here.

For internal use only in special circumstances.

Of course, Wu Wen and Yu Lu were having a detailed conversation at the corner of the stairs, surrounded by a barrier formed by death, preventing their conversation from being leaked out.

The chat seemed to be going smoothly.

At least in Yu Lu's eyes, there was no longer any initial prejudice against Wu Wen, and she even occasionally smiled when talking about the later stages.

The two talked for a full half hour, and it ended in a very ordinary way, with the death barrier being returned to Yu Lu's body.

"Once things are settled here, and Luo Di returns to the sisterhood with you, please take good care of him, Sister Yu Lu."

Men, to a greater or lesser extent, can't control themselves; Sister Yu Lu, don't let him get completely drained.

"Um."

The two drifted away from the corridor and returned to the ward where Luo Di was.

When Wu Wen arrived at the door, she knocked politely, but there was no response from inside. It seemed that what was happening or what was being made had drowned out the knocking.

"We've been talking for almost half an hour, aren't we done yet?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Wu Wen's face as she placed her palm on the doorway, her flesh dripping into the keyhole.

It turned out the door wasn't locked at all, and it opened very easily.

There was no sound as expected inside the ward. Walking around to the bed, I found only Juan sitting there combing her hair and getting ready, carefully sewing up the cracked corner of her mouth with a special kind of needle and thread.

"You're back? Hua Yuan and Luo Di left temporarily, saying they were going out for a stroll. I wonder where they went."

The squad leader ignored the woman in front of him, walked straight to the bed, and lifted the covers to check for any Pheromone that might be present.

"Oh? He really went out... Perfect."

Wu Wen wasn't worried at all. Instead, she turned around and took Yu Lu's arm. "Sister Yu Lu ~ I heard that the True Death Game comes with top-notch leisure services. We have some Skip Pass. We can have a good experience in the next few days."

"Would you like to join us, sister? It's on me."

Juan, who was combing her hair, slowly turned her head, revealing her half-stitched mouth, and licked the wound with her tongue.

"Okay, thank you very much, new sister."

[Half an hour ago]

While Luo Di, lying in his hospital bed, was chatting happily with Juan, a sister he had only recently met.

A soft cough came from behind the bed curtains.

Interrupting the conversation, Luo Di's gaze also shifted in that direction.

Hua Yuan stood with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at him coldly. Then she gently beckoned him over with one finger.

Luo Di could naturally see what Hua Yuan was thinking. If he openly rejected her here, their relationship would likely suffer an irreparable rift.

"Miss Juan, let's talk again next time."

"Okay, remember our promise~ You can come to my room when you get back to the apartment."

Luo Di just gave an awkward smile. As soon as he got up, his arm was grabbed and he was pulled out of the ward.

It was clear that Hua Yuan's expression was very unpleasant. If they weren't inside the company of the True Death Game, she probably would have really snapped at someone.

"Hua Yuan, it's best not to do anything reckless during this time. Although I used the Skip Pass, I still need to participate in the final challenge."

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Come with me."

Hua Yuan's displeasure was quickly suppressed, and she led Luo Di away from the True Death Game building for the time being.

Just as I stepped out of the building,

Hua Yuan turned around and tiptoed to put a pendant on Luo Di's wrist.

"We're leaving True Death Game for a while now. Since you eliminated that clown in the second round, he might still be following us. Keep your pendant safe, don't let it get hacked."

"Hmm, where are we going?"

Hua Yuan did not directly answer Luo Di's question, but instead said what needed to be considered at the moment, "The relevant rules for the third stage have been announced, and it will take five days to select the participants for the final stage."

"Luo Di, how many more corpses do you need to collect?"

"More than ten or twenty."

Do you think you can kill ten or twenty monsters in the final level?

"The monsters that can be selected to reach the final level are all elites, and killing one or two is probably the limit."

"That's right. Mr. Question Mark has extended an olive branch to you, allowing you to sprout with him. Once you miss such an opportunity, you may never have another chance."

Using the extra time gained from Skip Pass, I'll take you out to fill in the gaps.

Not only will you sprout here, but you will also win the final victory! And you will do all of this with my help, Hua Yuan.

Even a low-quality corpse can be used to build a door, right?

"The base is good enough; all that's left is monster material."

"Besides high-class venues like the True Death Game, this ' City of Sin ' also has many 'small workshops' related to death, which are faster and stimulate dopamine more quickly."

Many low-level monsters are thrown inside for the most primitive killing contest. There's no need to queue or wait; we can join immediately and even make some quick money.

Of course, there are also risks.

So, are you going?

"Go..." Luo Di was a little surprised. He thought Hua Yuan had some ulterior motive for bringing him out, but he didn't expect him to be so reliable. "Hua Yuan, thank you."

"Tsk~ Don't say such empty words, I hate it the most."

Once you've truly won first place in the Death Grand Gauntlet, just lend me Mr. Question Mark's planter for a while, and it would be best if you could use it too.

By the way, Wu Wen must have discussed something with you privately, right? Did she suggest you find a way to leave the sorority and go to her place?

"No, she told me to stay with the sorority."

Hua Yuan was walking ahead, paused slightly. "Ah? This old fox's thoughts are really hard to fathom, but he's quite generous, though."

I doubt Girl in this world would dare to let their men into their sorority, and I admire her for that alone.

Luo Di didn't say much, and silently followed behind Hua Yuan, pretending to be Male Servant as they headed towards a dark alley.

At the end is a realistic, gaping maw; following the throat leads to a secret space inside.

Two Green Gate Monster stood guard at the entrance, their bodies concealed beneath black robes.

A claw covered in scales and wrinkles had already reached out and blocked their path.

Hua Yuan smiled and displayed the sorority's symbol. The other party immediately retracted the claw structure, clearing the way to the interior.

You don't even need to go far or cross the barriers to smell the strong stench of blood and hear the almost manic cheers.

The interior resembles a giant factory, with various pit-shaped "Beast Cage" scattered throughout, where nearly twenty killing matches are taking place simultaneously.

The rules are similar.

Participants must not be at a level higher than the germination stage.

One-time Potent Amplification Potion must not be used.

Items exceeding the required rank must not be used.

Hua Yuan has already used her status as a member of the sorority to help Luo Di skip the line and register.

"Hua Yuan, can I wear Grandmother's Arm? If I take it off, the clown might blend into the crowd and target me."

"You don't need to take it off; it's not that strict here. As long as you don't use it during the competition, there's no problem wearing it."

"OK."

Hua Yuan stuck the number on Luo Di's body, representing his participation number, and gave him a hard push.

"Hurry up and get to Pit Number Five, your match is about to start. If you need to take a break, just raise your hand to signal me. If you don't need to take a break, just keep fighting."

One by one, the audience members, eager for the thrill of death, made way for Luo Di, the participant. Occasionally, an arm would reach out and pinch Luo Di's body to assess his strength, making it easier to place bets later.

Reaching the edge of the twenty-meter-deep pit, Luo Di leaped into it.

As he stepped into the pit filled with bits of flesh and bones, a blood-red gaze fixed on him; his opponent was right across from him.

A monster wearing Deer Skull and with arms longer than a human's height was squatting on the other side, gnawing on the hairy leg of the previous contestant.

His bloodshot eyes were already fixed on his opponent who had just entered the arena.

The fighting here is non-stop; as long as the winner doesn't raise their hand to withdraw immediately, the next Deathmatch Servant will be assigned to them.

The spectators surrounding the pit also began placing bets.

To most viewers, Luo Di, a human servant who hadn't even sprouted yet, would soon become food for the Three-time Winner... In fact, this duel couldn't even be considered a normal match, but rather a reward for the opponent's Three Consecutive Wins, a Bonus Match.

It moved!

The Wendigo -like monster emitted a howl that could affect one's mind, and the vibrating sound waves caused the blood in the pit to boil.

With an arm span exceeding four meters,

They lunged at the "human" in front of them, whose body was clean and whose skin was smooth and tender.

Whoosh!

The slender, claw-like arms were tossed into the air.

The rain started again.
