Death in the Basement
Although Luo Di is a "guest" of the sorority, he rarely exposes himself to the "Gaze Disaster" environment. Most of his outdoor activities were previously spent inside the car.
current,
With his vehicle lost, this was the first time Luo Di had to travel on foot during a disaster.
By directly shutting down visual-related functions through the brain, and to avoid any accidents, Luo Di also used torture instruments to sew up his eyelids, and the inside of his eyeballs was also filled with gray.
Because of the clown, Luo Di had long been accustomed to a life without sight.
Gray can diffuse outwards, feeding back information about all the substances it touches to the brain, which then generates a three-dimensional structural map. It captures more details than the naked eye, but its range is limited.
Luo Di could do it before it sprouted, and now he can do it even better.
The gray area can cover a range of up to twenty meters, and if Luo Di concentrates or uses his abilities, the range can be further expanded.
This range is sufficient, and Luo Di is not alone; he has four bodyguards by his side. Even Hua Yuan and the class monitor, who are at the lowest rank, have reached the Plant Maturity stage.
"Run moderately, not too fast."
Yu Lu on his back gave instructions, and Luo Di went from walking to running. Just as he was about to increase his speed, he felt the pulling force of the hanging rope.
"Enough!"
Just as Luo Di was about to ask about the reason for the speed limit, his gray eyes caught something: there was something on the road ahead, not just one, but a group of things.
Just as Luo Di was about to ask what to do, whether to kill or avoid it.
A noose directly affected his consciousness, forcing Luo Di to change direction, leaving the main road and turning into the woods on the side.
The sisters behind her followed one after another.
Luo Di quickly focused his attention and extended his senses to fifty meters, capturing a group of strange creatures, numbering nearly a hundred.
Describing them as human might not be quite accurate, since they only retain about 30% of their human characteristics.
They always maintained a state of looking up in admiration.
Their faces were covered by countless eyeballs, all of which were gazing at the sky.
Because of gazing upwards for so long, yearning to close the distance between themselves and the sky, their bodies were stretched vertically, like a pillar.
Their arms have degenerated and disappeared, while their legs have evolved into plant roots, wriggling forward.
Rather than people,
It looks more like a strange sunflower.
Yu Lu's voice came from behind:
"Hurry up and leave. It will be troublesome if these guys target us. Even if we can kill them all, we will still be infected by the disaster factors spreading from them."
"Disaster factor? Will being contaminated with it attract the attention of Fear Entity?"
That's roughly the idea.
On the way back to the Sisterhood, they also encountered many mutated monsters affected by the Gaze Disaster.
These monsters are all transforming in a direction related to "gazing," and the plants in their brains are becoming uncontrollable and expressing themselves erratically, making their forms difficult to describe with normal words and phrases.
If you can dodge, do so; if you really can't dodge, kill them from a distance.
The monsters that normally roam this area also keep their distance when they see members of the Sisterhood, especially when they see the Yu Lu on Luo Di's body.
After a running journey of nearly six hours, we finally arrived safely at the sorority's territory.
The women's apartment is right in front of us.
When the door opened, the sisters felt a long-lost sense of coming home, and all their burdens were lifted.
Despite being Wanted Criminal, Wu Wen appeared relaxed, as if she had come home.
However, this relaxation did not last long before a sense of invasion struck.
The ground where Wu Wen was standing caved in, turning into countless arms that dragged her down.
Luo Di instinctively reached out to pull her, but found that Wu Wen was still smiling and even gave him an OK sign.
Seeing this, Luo Di stopped trying to help and instead made a farewell gesture.
Wu Wen left.
The sisterhood will also be broken up here.
"I have to go report to my Grandmother. I still owe Luo Di one night. You can come find me anytime."
Miss Juan had already reached the top of the stairs. She removed her mask and blew a kiss to Luo Di, her laughter echoing throughout the space.
Despite the seemingly intimate gesture, Hua Yuan paid no attention to it.
In Hua Yuan's eyes, this woman posed no threat whatsoever.
The person who should really be concerned is the one who doesn't talk much and even carries Luo Di on his back when they get back to the apartment.
"Sister Yu, shouldn't you also report to Grandmother?"
"No rush~ I've already brought Wu Wen back, and Grandmother has received the goods. My mission is complete. After Grandmother finishes talking with Wu Wen, she should come directly to us to ask about this trip."
While we wait, Luo Di will stay with me. Hua Yuan, you don't mind, do you?
Unlike Wu Wen, Hua Yuan couldn't fake it. She forced a murderous smile and asked, "Sister Yu, may I have a problem with this?"
"Cannot."
Hua Yuan's temper flared up instantly. She didn't even care about the relationship between sisters. Just as she was about to curse, Luo Di turned around and made a shushing gesture, then conveyed his words through a special killing intent.
See you tonight.
Hua Yuan then suppressed her temper and the urge to invade, and stormed back to her room alone.
Yu Lu didn't mind. She raised her light arm and pointed to the deep corridor on the first floor of the apartment, "Carry me to my room."
"Um."
Luo Di had many things he wanted to discuss with Yu Lu.
Slaughter and death are inherently related.
This advancement gave Luo Di some insights into death, and Yu Lu was the most knowledgeable about death among the sorority, so this relationship could not be abandoned.
And so, carrying Yu Lu on his back, he headed to the deepest part of the passage.
Inside the deepest room, instead of a guest room, lay a staircase leading to the basement, emanating a strong aura of death.
This sorority's executioner actually lived in a basement.
Upon smelling this scent, Luo Di smiled, knowing he had come to the right place.
Boom!
The door was closed, and a hanging rope was suspended at the entrance; anyone who tried to break down the door would be hanged on the spot.
The passageway, which was usually deserted, was now filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Hua Yuan, who had clearly gone back to her room, sneaked over. In the past few days, she had roughly figured out Yu Lu's abilities.
Open your palms.
A flower resembling a skull blooms in the palm of your hand.
As Hua Yuan swallowed the flower, she entered a state of suspended animation, managing to fool the hanging rope at the door and sneak inside.
As you descend the stairs, you feel the concentration of death rising, and with each step there's the possibility of being discovered.
Although Hua Yuan believed that Luo Di really wanted to discuss death with the other party, her body still wanted to come and see what was going on.
They hadn't even finished climbing the stairs.
A strange sound came from there.
She had heard that voice countless times.
That was the sound her sisters made when they wanted the flower stem; Hua Yuan had heard it countless times from them.
"Is this some kind of discussion about death? Sister Yu knows perfectly well that Luo Di is the man I brought back, and he's my man, yet she still tries to take him away."
"You son of a bitch! I'm going to beat you two bastards to a pulp right now!"
The structure beneath Hua Yuan's skirt began to grow, and she quickly climbed the steps to the bottom, only to stop abruptly just as she was about to rush out.
When the true scene of the underground room was clearly seen, the hardened structure on Hua Yuan's body suddenly softened, the flower stem contracted, and it returned to its original state.
The television, with its static-filled surface, cast a pale, unnatural light.
The rusty metal ceiling fan was turning with difficulty.
A man and a woman are hanging from the fan blades by a rope.
The sound produced by the rotating and rubbing of the deformed and bent metal was imagined by Hua Yuan as a strange cry due to his strong obsession.
Just then,
Yu Lu, who had hanged herself, slowly opened her eyes and tilted her head to look at Hua Yuan, who had somehow sneaked in.
Since the other party had come, she didn't care.
A slender, boneless arm reached out towards Hua Yuan, beckoning gently.
Meanwhile, a brand new rope has been attached to the fan blades, seemingly inviting Hua Yuan to join in as well.
After all, Hua Yuan herself exhibited certain characteristics of death, which greatly surprised and comforted Yu Lu. After all, there aren't many sisters who can truly understand death.
However, Hua Yuan's primary concern was survival, and this kind of pure death would do her more harm than good. She quickly bowed her head in apology and left.
