First, a voice from hell rang in Luo Di's mind, seemingly urging him to return to the True Hell.

<Luo Di has crossed the Gate of Demon Ascension; his Individual Information has been fully updated. Please proceed to the True Hell for details!>

Luo Di wasn't in a hurry; now was not the time to return to Hell. He could roughly sense the changes that would occur after ascending to demonhood.

He is currently more concerned about this unassuming gray plant.

When he reached out to touch it, his retina immediately projected the corresponding information, which was important information about the Pituitary Gland Sprouting.

The pituitary gland has sprouted, and relevant plant information has been uploaded to the corner. Once the plant matures, it will be listed in the corner's overall plant ranking.

[Status]: Stage Two (Germination, bud growth in progress)

Once the bud grows into a mature plant, it can enter the next stage and unlock the full Fear Form.

[Pituitary Gland Name]: Gray Moon * (Unique Name)

[Sprout Name]: Victim's Sprout *

*Any victims cut down by the murderer will be collected between the moons to serve as fertilizer and soil for the plants to grow.

The subsequent felling method, felling target, and individual determination will determine the direction of plant maturation.

—The Black Gate Murderer System has been initially established. Detailed information is as follows—

Corner nickname: "Moonlit Night Murderer"*

*Because individuals are evolved from humans, they do not acquire the same calamity-causing characteristics as monsters, but they do have a deeper understanding and expression of fear.

Keywords:

"Mask", "Gray", "Moon", "Immortality", "Cinematic Feel"

New Fear trait added:

"Undying"* - The killer will be difficult to kill. The deeper an individual's understanding of the Black Door Fear, the more mature and perfect the plant will be, and this effect will be further enhanced.

"Cinematic Feel"* - In line with the style of B-movies from the 80s and 90s, the logical elements will be weakened to a certain extent when the movie is shown.

Additional buffs: The system from True Hell is supporting the Corner System, which will give the killer a better physique, logging efficiency, pursuit mode, and hunting method. Please visit True Hell for details.

As Luo Di examined the advanced information, he also felt the changes in his body.

Gradually, he began to move his fully regenerated arm.

Feeling a surge of new power within my body,

fasten the mask with one hand.

Slightly move your cervical spine joints.

We rushed to the next room just as the Countdown ended.

The Fourth Room

Luo Di had expected to encounter a powerful monster, but he ended up alone.

"Bad luck, did we get a bye?"

This was a cold storage room, and even Luo Di, who had just advanced and whose body still carried the residual heat of hell, could still feel the bone-chilling cold.

Unlike the deathly chill that Yu Lu brought.

This is pure cold, enough to freeze a person.

With each breath, Luo Di could feel the curses emanating from his lungs; it seemed as if parts of his alveoli had frozen. Luo Di quickly located the envelope frozen on the ground, smashed it open with the blade, and retrieved it.

He also noticed that the room had no doors or doors, so he might have to find another way to leave.

According to the level rules, Luo Di, being "single," must choose to open the envelope, but the contents inside make him frown.

"Sorry! You have arrived at a Danger Room. There is no door as an exit, and the environment inside is extremely bad!"

You can ignore the rules and leave this room by any means necessary.

If you successfully leave, you will be given extra rest time in the next room.

"Danger Room?"

Just as Luo Di finished reading the letter, the vents began to release cold air.

The Tool Construction.

Luo Di immediately created a high-temperature torture device in an attempt to block the release of cold air. However, the high-temperature device was instantly frozen when it approached the cooling vent, and even its metal structure disintegrated as a result.

This is clearly a higher level of freezing, a level of freezing that Luo Di cannot withstand.

His eyes quickly scanned the room and soon spotted a Ventilation Shaft that might allow him to leave.

The Ventilation Shaft opening was located in a corner and had a very small diameter. Even someone as small as Luo Di would have difficulty squeezing into it and would need to further shrink his skeletal structure.

This can be achieved through the control of the body by the Old Spine.

However, the temperature inside the Ventilation Shaft is also extremely low. Once you climb inside, your body will be in direct contact with the wall, increasing the cooling efficiency.

And because we don't know how long or deep it is inside, otherwise it really could lead to the next room.

Once you crawl into this narrow ventilation duct, you might freeze to death before you even reach the next room... However, Luo Di's brain reacted very quickly, and he thought of another way.

He squatted by the Ventilation Shaft vent.

Old Spine movement,

Streams of hellish energy flowed towards his palm—a completely new energy belonging to the Great Demon of Hell. This caused a red-hot wire to grow from his palm, rapidly spreading within the conduit.

The constant transfer of hellish heat prevents the wire from freezing completely inside the pipe.

The wire surface is also wrapped with some Brain Tissue, which can acquire sensory information within the channel in real time.

The ventilation duct does have an end, leading to another room. However, the passage is too deep; even if Luo Di doesn't freeze to death, he will suffer deep frostbite in many parts of his body.

However, Luo Di had no intention of climbing in from the beginning.

He used the wire to probe the area only to confirm one thing: the direction and location of the next room.

"On the right?"

Luo Di walked up to the right wall, ignoring the cold air blowing on him.

Take a deep breath.

By infusing the handle with completely different components, this time the blade structure no longer grows out of the handle.

Instead, it's a sledgehammer.

A gray, hammer-like object, resembling the composition of the moon, with its surface even covered with some lunar crater structures.

Since the letter mentioned that the rules could be ignored, Luo Di felt that he could damage the house and knock on a door if there was no door.

A certain cinematic quality has been unleashed.

It has an impact on the environment to some extent.

After all, in a movie, such a confined environment could not possibly trap a murderer, otherwise the plot could not continue.

A heavy hammer struck the wall surface.

This level room, created by Mr. Question Mark, is incredibly sturdy.

With the combined effect of the domain and power, it took more than thirty knocks to finally create a hole, through which one could see the pitch-black room on the other side.

A larger hole needs to be punched so that Luo Di can crawl out.

He continued swinging the hammer in his hand... thud thud thud!

The spine arches slightly during this process, and its outline appears somewhat different when viewed through the coat.

Boom!

A larger section of the wall was smashed, and the opening was large enough.

However, a cold air pipe hidden in the wall was also smashed, and a large amount of cold air poured out, freezing Luo Di's entire right arm.

Before my whole body froze, I stepped through the hole in the wall.

The temperature returned to normal instantly.

We arrived at the relatively cozy and normal [Fifth Room].

But... click!

Luo Di's entire right arm was ripped off and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces of ice that somehow managed to form the shape of a question mark.

Not only that, but as Luo Di stepped through the hole in the wall, a blast of cold air blew across his face.

The mask was damaged, and parts of the face and the right corner of the mouth were completely torn off, exposing the gums.

This is already considered the minimum cost to clear the [Fourth Room].

As the class monitor said, killing your partner and moving on to the next room is the best option; otherwise, you will die completely in each level of the game and have everything taken away by Mr. Question Mark.

Looking at the shattered ice on the ground, Luo Di showed no extra expression.

Taking advantage of the extra rest time he had gained, he lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Perhaps because he had just advanced to a higher level and his physical strength had been greatly depleted, he gradually fell asleep not long after closing his eyes.

I don't know how long I slept.

I felt a faint itching sensation on my face.

This strange sensation gradually woke Luo Di up.

When he opened his eyes, a blond-haired boy was sitting next to him, using a fine needle and surgical suture to help him stitch up the wound on his mouth.
