Luo Di fought with almost everything he had, relying on the killer's "immortality" to survive until the end.

I thought such a serious injury would take a long time and come at a high cost to recover, but... whoosh!

The ringing in my ears subsided.

Luo Di was already standing on the familiar T-shaped stage, a white spotlight, representing the winner, shining down on him.

No Iron Rod are needed for support, breathing is no longer obstructed, and all physical discomfort disappears.

The "physical deprivation" he suffered in the final level was all "returned".

There are no traces of stitches.

There is no sign of depletion.

It was as if he had returned to his healthy state before participating in the game, and Luo Di's own demonic germination was not affected in any way.

Not far from him was Li Beite had also won.

The so-called winning rules of the Ten Rooms through cooperation are essentially about deciphering the secret of the question mark. Once all the means related to the question mark are completed, they will no longer be effective for the individual, and subsequent rooms can be crossed without obstacles.

This is exactly the result Mr. Question Mark wanted to see.

An unexpected game ending.

current,

Mr. Question Mark is standing between the two, grabbing their arms and raising them high, announcing them as the final winners of the Death Grand Gauntlet.

The Monster Audience below the stage also erupted in enthusiastic applause, just like the humans.

Especially those bloodthirsty monsters from the Abyss of Slaughter who came here specifically to follow [D], regard Luo Di as an almost idol-like figure.

"I never expected that this Death Grand Gauntlet would actually produce two winners. Even I, the organizer, never expected it!"

Unfortunately, my preparations were not thorough enough; I only prepared a planter as a reward.

That's fine.

Who among you is willing to voluntarily withdraw from the potted plant competition? If you withdraw, you will receive a reward of equal value afterward, but you will need to wait a while; even I would need several days to prepare for such a reward.

"I'm quitting."

The two asked to leave almost simultaneously, their eyes meeting.

This potted plant is worth more than the prize money of previous champions, and the veteran audience members below the stage are extremely envious. The two even politely declined each other's offer.

However, Luo Di quickly gleaned some information from Li Beite's eyes.

It wasn't that the other party didn't want the planter; rather, they wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Mr. Question Mark better... Besides, the extra prize wouldn't be any less valuable than the planter; it would just mean waiting a few more days.

"Then I'll take the planter pot."

The question marks on the cloth bag's face were squeezed together. "Oh dear~ looking at you guys, it's like I bought this planter from some cheap street stall and I don't even really want it... Fine! Then Luo Di gets the planter as a reward."

I will present Li Beite's prize to him separately afterward.

To thank all the participants who came, the rest and entertainment area of True Death Game will remain open for another day. Please continue to enjoy yourself.

The side door of the waiting area opened, and the audience members left one after another, but most of them were talking about one topic: a topic about Innate Monster and human servants.

Luo Di, on the other hand, didn't receive a planter directly, but instead received a private message from Mr. Question Mark:

"Take a short rest to recover and solidify your newly formed special bud. Come find me at the top of the company tomorrow at this time."

We have professionals here to help you install the planters.

If you don't need it, you can just come and collect it later.

"OK."

Luo Di wasn't in a hurry, and this one-day buffer period allowed him to consult the sorority's opinion. After all, he knew almost nothing about potted plants, and the newly sprouted shoots didn't seem to have any urgent need for them yet.

Mr. Question Mark turned and left the stage.

Just as Luo Di was about to jump off the stage to join her sisters, an arm reached out and gently touched Luo Di's shoulder.

It was clearly the touch of a human hand, but Luo Di could sense something else, hidden deep within his body, residing there.

"Luo Di! We're good buddies now, right?"

I read in a book that good buddies should put their arms around each other's shoulders, share some sweet drinks, and go out to surf the internet together.

There doesn't seem to be any internet service in that corner. If you have the chance, could you take me to the human side to experience it?

Now that I've won the Death Grand Gauntlet," my family should loosen their control over me to some extent, and maybe they can even request that I descend to earth as an incarnation.

I'll come find you as soon as my application is approved.

"Oh well."

Although Luo Di felt that putting his arm around Li Beite's shoulder was inappropriate and uncomfortable, he did not refuse. Moreover, he began to wonder what books Li Beite usually read in his spare time.

"How should I contact you? Mr. Question Mark said you seem to be Male Servant of the Sorority? A human like you doesn't need to be a servant at all!"

Why don't you come to my place? Our family is no less than the sorority.

I'll explain it to my father, and he'll definitely be willing to pay to buy you.

"I am not a servant; I am merely participating in the games under the guise of the sorority."

"I see! Okay then. When I get the freedom to move around, I'll look for you at the sorority. You should be able to return to the Human World whenever you have time, right?"

Luo Di shook his head. "I'm busy right now. As I told you before, I have a [target]. As long as that target doesn't die, I won't leave this corner for the time being."

Something was surging within Li Beite's body, but it quickly subsided. "I wanted to help you solve this, but judging from your expression, Luo Di, you probably don't want anyone else's help."

Alright! If you have time, you can come to "Formless Villa". My family will give you a warm welcome. As for going to the human world, we can talk about it then.

I hope you can kill that target soon. If you give up on hunting alone, feel free to ask me for help anytime... I'm personally very curious about what kind of monster wants to kill you, Luo Di.

"Good."

"That's it, my dad's calling me over."

Following Li Beite's pointing finger, Luo Di looked down at the audience, where a being shrouded in a huge cloak, with no external structure visible, was watching them from the darkness.

This gaze was not hostile, but rather a neutral scrutiny.

Li Beite moved his seemingly frail body slowly closer, and with a gust of wind from his cloak, he seemed to be enveloped and disappear.

"Formless Villa..."

Luo Di memorized the name. Although he would have to kill the Joker himself, he might be able to use this connection in his future activities in the shadows.

Moreover, a special monster like Li Beite is bound to have a bright future.

call...

Take a deep breath.

With the burden in his heart finally lifted, Luo Di hadn't initially intended to win the Death Grand Gauntlet, but when he actually did, he couldn't help but feel incredibly excited.

I'm also looking forward to seeing how this rare planter will interact with my new plant shoots.

As Luo Di hopped off the stage to reunite with her sisters... a buzzing sound hit her ears.

Thump thump~ followed by a strong heartbeat.

Increased blood pressure, increased blood flow rate

Grayish blood vessels crawled across his eyes.

When Luo Di looked up at the four sisters not far away again, he saw four separate vessels exuding a strong fragrance and containing different essences of fear.

An indescribable impulse surged forth from the depths of my soul.

"Di..."

Her gentle whispers, like Girl's skin touching his heart, pulled Luo Di out of his daze.

When he came to his senses, he was already standing in front of the four sisters, holding a butcher's knife in his hand, with a strong killing intent still lingering around him.

Before him,

Apart from the smiling class monitor, the Three Sisters all showed Ominous Sign.

The hanging rope was already tightly wrapped around his neck.

A pair of scissors almost severed Luo Di's finger.

There is also a flower stem that seems to be poking into the body.

Yu Lu first removed the hanging rope, then extended her arm 90 degrees to the side, pointing towards the rest area not far away.

"Keep an eye on your plants, Luo Di. If they really try to harm us, they'll pay the price. Go and replenish your supplies."

"OK."

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Just as he was trying to adjust his state and lock his brain with wire, a soft arm reached out and wrapped around him, exuding a faint floral fragrance.
