With only one day left, the third round of selection will be completed, and the final stage of the Death Grand Gauntlet will begin.

Mr. Question Mark will announce the list of those qualified to participate in the final challenge. Those who do not attend will be considered to have forfeited.

The class monitor, Yu Lu, and Juan were enjoying their leisure time in the rest area bar of the True Death Game.

After spending these few days together, Yu Lu no longer had any prejudice against "Target". During their drinking sessions, their arms were even pressed tightly together.

Yu Lu didn't drink much today, but was more concerned about another important issue.

"Luo Di hasn't returned yet."

Juan immediately joined in, "Yes, I wonder where she went to play with Sister Hua. There are very few men in our apartment. Ever since Sister Hua came, whenever she returns to the apartment from the Flower Garden, many of the women look for her."

I've tried it all, and it feels more powerful than many men.

If the two of them stay in a hotel these days, Luo Di will probably have trouble even standing up, and the final match will likely be very difficult.

"Why don't we go find them now? Maybe there's still a sliver of a chance."

The class monitor, however, continued eating and drinking nonchalantly. "Hua Yuan and I have been old acquaintances since our time as Pseudo-Human. Although she does have a stronger desire in that area, she can distinguish the importance of things and knows very well what has the highest priority."

After all, among our group of sisters, Hua Yuan was the eldest sister, and she was the one who made the plans when the group was doing things together.

I bet they're practicing now and will be back soon.

Juan shook her head. "Practice? I don't believe it... Hua Yuan's gaze towards Luo Di was off. Even if they were practicing, it would probably be in bed."

Wu Wen suddenly turned her head and gave him a strange look. "Sister Juan, how about we make a bet? We won't bet too much, just 100 Corner Coin, how about that? If I win, you can give it to Luo Di, after all, he's my boyfriend."

Juan and Wu Wen remained locked in eye contact; the stitches around their mouths gradually parted but then slowly closed again.

"Great! We don't have anything to do today, and the third level isn't very interesting, so let's go out and have some fun."

Maybe I'll catch them playing some weird games in bed, and I can join in. Wu Wen, you probably won't mind, right? After all, Luo Di will be staying at the sorority anyway, so you won't know what we do.

"If they are really doing it, then I definitely wouldn't mind."

"Okay, let's go then."

Although Yu Lu, caught in the middle, could sense the verbal conflict between the two, she didn't say much. In fact, she also wanted to know what Luo Di was doing.

After all, we're almost at the final stage, and he's still outside and hasn't come back.

After all, she was arranged by her Grandmother to act with Luo Di, and now that they had found their target, Luo Di's matter had become the primary objective.

Snap!

Wu Wen stood up and took Yu Lu's arm. "Sister Yu, let's go~ Did you leave a mark inside Luo Di?"

"Have."

"Then Sister Yu, please lead the way, so that some people won't say I'm doing something underhanded beforehand."

Juan simply smiled and took Yu Lu's arm from the other side.

that's all,

Floating in the air, Yu Lu was like an older sister, leading her two younger sisters to the street. Following the sense of death, they quickly found their way to the depths of the alley.

There are no hotels here, and no ambiguous atmosphere whatsoever.

Looking at the gaping maw at the end of the road and smelling the bloody scent in the air, everyone could roughly guess why Luo Di hadn't returned.

Juan's expression darkened. She knew exactly where she was and that no one would be doing anything else there.

When Yu Lu stepped forward to show the sorority's logo, the guards at the entrance not only made way for her but also offered her a message.

"Pit Number Five."

[Abyss of Slaughter]

Stepping inside, the place reeked of blood.

They rarely come to places like this, where the pleasure is purely derived from killing.

The True Death Game is far superior in terms of style, environment, and fun; there's absolutely no need to come here.

However, many monsters prefer this fast-paced entertainment mode.

But today's situation is a little different.

Although there are many staff members, many positions are vacant.

Nearly half of the audience were concentrated in Pit Number Five, forming several laps around it.

The spectators standing at the back also displayed their skills, stretching their spines or making their eyes float, using various methods to clearly see the exciting match taking place in the pit.

Despite being separated by a dense crowd and a multitude of other smells, Wu Wen could still smell Luo Di's unique scent, and she could also hear the sound of rain.

It looks like it's raining inside.

"Why are you pushing? Those who came later should stand quietly at the back. If you push again, I'll chop you up... Sorry, sorry~ Please come in, please come in. I can't control my mouth, please don't mind."

One of the outermost spectators felt the pressure coming from behind and instinctively started cursing. When he turned around, he was so shocked that he almost had a pituitary disorder; a noose had already been put around his neck.

As he quickly moved aside, he also patted the audience members who were watching with great interest in front of him.

They quickly cleared a path leading to the innermost circle.

Hua Yuan stood in the front row, a cigarette she had concocted with special pollen in her mouth to keep herself awake.

She had noticeable dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't rested much in recent days.

Even after sensing the arrival of her sisters, Hua Yuan did not greet them and continued to watch intently as the battle raged in the deep pit.

When Yu Lu and the others arrived at the front row, their gazes were naturally drawn down to it.

Even Juan, who had some conflicts with Wu Wen, completely put aside her previous disagreement when she saw this scene and took out the Corner Coin she had lost.

Watching the ongoing battle, Yu Lu asked softly, "Hua, how many have Luo Di killed?"

14.

"Didn't you take a break in between?"

"I rested once on the second day, for no more than five hours."

"Take him away after this match. Tomorrow is the final hurdle, let him get some rest."

Hua Yuan shrugged. "I already called him once today, but he refused. He's completely absorbed in this."

The combat mode, difficulty, and player style here are all very suitable for him; perhaps we should have brought him here from the beginning.

Luo Di really enjoyed this kind of straightforward killing with few rules, and he was also very good at pleasing the audience... Many monsters had their eyes on this human, and some were even prepared to spend a lot of money to buy him after the competition.

I've already had over twenty monsters contact me about Male Servant prices, it's really interesting.

Moreover, the owner of this place is also here today.

The sisters also turned their attention to the viewing area where the battle was taking place in the pit.

A fat, big-eared man, dressed entirely in bright red and wearing a dark red suit, seemed to possess the Devil attributes and was standing opposite them, with his subordinates even bringing over a sofa.

A short while later,

Blood rained down.

Deep within the pit, the disheveled and filthy Luo Di raised his butcher's knife, proclaiming his fifteenth victory.

Just as the audience was chanting the name "D," anticipating his next round of battle,

The bloodshot veins in Luo Di's eyes faded, and he turned around to look at the sisters who had arrived.

His eyes did not contain the madness of killing, but rather an unusual rationality.

This killing spree seemed to be coming to an end.

The boss who was sitting on the opposite sofa had disappeared.

Boom!

The earth trembled.

The audience fell silent.

The boss had fallen into a blood-stained pit and was standing in front of Luo Di.

Many viewers believed that the boss would suppress his own strength and personally face off against this undefeated champion at the same level. The members of the sisterhood were somewhat flustered, Yu Lu even prepared to personally intervene and persuade him.

This is not as good as True Death Game.

But the owner who can buy such a large piece of land in the City of Sin must be quite powerful.

However,

The boss didn't make a move, but instead grabbed Luo Di's arm and lifted it high.

"Congratulations to our Mr. D on achieving a 15-game winning streak."

I haven't seen such outstanding humans in a long time. In just four days, they've increased the popularity of my area and added so many killing materials to the pit.

Mr. Question Mark has already spoken with me beforehand, so hurry back. I hope you can win the final level, and I'll be there to cheer you on.

Remember to come again next time you have time, Mr. D.

"Thank you, boss."
