Traveling Together

call...

As Luo Di adjusted his breathing, he put the two stones away.

"The ninth one is harder to collect than expected. Although every household can have a steady income of bloodstones, we need to activate the cinematic effect every time we want to completely kill this thing."

Both the pituitary gland and the body itself will experience significant depletion.

I feel like my physical strength isn't what it used to be.

It seems like I used to have a huge energy storage structure inside me, but it seems to have been taken away during this game... I should rest and recover first. With the plant pot there, at least my pituitary gland won't go hungry. I just need to recover my energy.

Currently, it appears that these villagers are not in contact with each other, and they have sufficient safe rest time after each killing.

Luo Di took some food out of his suitcase to replenish his energy.

This was already the eleventh room Luo Di had infiltrated.

He has essentially arrived at the Town Center, and the information he has gathered so far includes:

1. Each household has 1 to 2 individuals whose bodies have been eroded by blood.

2. These individuals are essentially devoid of reason, resembling zombies, but are extremely difficult to kill. Only methods approaching the laws of nature can completely eliminate them and obtain the Bloodstone.

3. The wooden houses in the village do not have the stone-built blood pools with engraved symbols. If you want to exchange items, you must collect enough before going to the villa at the beginning.

Everything is going smoothly so far. As long as we replenish our energy, we can collect the data steadily.

As Luo Di prepared to sneak into the next house, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something unusual moving outside the window and quietly moved to the window.

What is that?

Due to the limited visibility caused by the fog, Luo Di could only vaguely glimpse a crimson foot passing through the Thick Fog, seemingly dragging something behind it.

Even if it's just a partial glimpse,

This also made Luo Di feel extremely uneasy.

It's certain that this thing is different from the ordinary townspeople who dropped the bloodstone. If you encounter it, it could be a fierce battle, and even he himself would be in danger.

After confirming that the other party had left, Luo Di also turned his attention back to the other party.

But when he turned around and looked at the Girl in the Wheelchair, his eyes instantly filled with murderous intent.

You can even hear the sound of muscles tensing up coming from between the arms.

The cabin, which shouldn't have had anyone else in it, now has one more person... a foreign woman.

Mia, with light blonde girl tied in two thick braids and a face full of freckles, was lying on her Wheelchair, gently nuzzling the sleeping Girl's face with her nose, inhaling her scent.

Mia was still holding a long-handled axe in her hand, which was completely out of place with her and was stained with blood.

When Luo Di rejected this person on the train, he sensed murderous intent in the other person's eyes and also felt that the other person belonged to the Black Gate System and was a "murderer" like himself.

"Luo Di, I suddenly understand why you care so much about this girl... She really is beautiful. Even I want to have her. I want to cut off her head and put it on my bedside table. That way, every time I wake up, I can remind myself to become more beautiful."

"Stay away from her."

As Luo Di gave the warning, the muscles in his calves were already tense; he would rush forward immediately should the other party show any signs of murderous intent.

Little did I know,

Mia actually obediently stepped back, making an innocent gesture of surrender.

"Sorry, did I mislead you? We're companions, what I said earlier was just a joke. I happen to be here too, this village is very similar to my Hometown."

I saw you through the window earlier, so I sneaked over here.

Luo Di didn't trust this man; he could smell the stench emanating from him.

"By the way! Luo Di, do you know what these things are used for? I've collected a lot of them, and I have a feeling they'll be useful, but I don't know where to use them."

Mia suddenly pulled out a bundle of burlap sacks from behind her, untied the rope sealing them, and found them filled with crimson bloodstones, at least twenty of them.

The sheer number of bloodstones stunned Luo Di.

He had been hunting non-stop since arriving in the village from the villa, constantly lurking in different buildings, and had only managed to collect nine.

The opponent's collection efficiency is extremely high, which clearly indicates that they have even more efficient methods of killing.

Once they're told that the detached villa can be exchanged for Bloodstones, they'll become competitors. Even if Luo Di cleans up the entire village, he probably won't have many Bloodstones left.

Just as Luo Di was about to shake his head in denial,

Mia suddenly put her hands behind her back, dragged the bloodstained axe forward slowly, and maintained her big white teeth and obviously performed smile the whole time.

"Luo Di, I can see that you are different from me."

Although you both chose to become serial killers, you cannot find pleasure in regular killing; you chose this "profession" simply to achieve a certain purpose.

You didn't come here to slaughter these flesh and blood individuals for no reason; you should know what these stones are for.

Is this a good idea?

We'll cooperate temporarily and split whatever amount of bloodstone we get in the end.

Moreover, something's definitely off about this village—it seems like something very dangerous is lurking here. If we happen to encounter it, we can team up to take it down and reduce the danger.

I don't want to die in some random, Corner Event, and neither do you, right?

As they were talking, Mia had already come up to Luo Di, her tense smile almost pressed against his face.

Luo Di was also watching the man closely, gripping the metal baseball bat in his hand as if he might swing it at any moment.

Open your lips and teeth to give a reply:

"OK."

"Yay!!"

Mia jumped up excitedly as if she had achieved a goal, even dropping her axe to the ground.

That pent-up killing intent seemed to instantly dissipate the murderous aura that had distorted the house.

Luo Di slowly loosened his grip on the baseball bat with his right hand, his palm covered in sweat.

He could basically conclude that the woman in front of him was somewhat insane, or rather, extremely similar to a serial killer in a B-movie, with some mental problems and extreme obsession with certain things.

It is not advisable to confront such a mentally ill person at this time.

"Luo Di, you just push this young lady. I'll handle the killing. I especially enjoy doing this kind of thing, especially killing things that are full of blood and flesh."

I really love killing... When I woke up on the train, I wanted to kill you all.

Oh, did I say something wrong?

Sorry, this is a bad habit I've always had. So whenever someone doesn't like me, I just kill them.

"Luo Di, when you rejected me before, I almost hit you. Luckily I held back! Otherwise, no one would be my friend. Are we friends now?"

"More or less."

"Yay... Let's go!"

Mia slung the long-handled axe over her shoulder and hummed a country tune.

Instead of going around to the Back Gate, she went to the second-floor window. With a leap, she landed directly in the adjacent wooden house, followed by the sounds of various felling objects.

Luo Di could only push his Wheelchair around to get past it.

By the time he entered the neighboring cabin, the killing inside had already ended.

Mia stood in a pool of blood, her mangled flesh trying to heal but being invaded by a "Rotten Invasion".

Flies, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, crawled all over the chunks of flesh, gradually decomposing them... It even felt as if the flies were dancing wildly on the flesh, just like Mia's frenzy.

In this light, Mia's abilities are indeed well-suited for handling these matters, and temporary cooperation is the right choice.

The end of corruption

Mia bent down, picked up the bloodstone from the ground, and threw it at Luo Di with a smile.

"Impressive."

After receiving verbal praise from Luo Di, the latter immediately broke into a cheerful country dance, then picked up his axe and prepared to continue his journey.

Just then,

The Girl in the Wheelchair sprouted plants from her ears again, raised her arm, and pointed towards the chimney and fireplace.

Luo Di quickly went over and extinguished the flames, discovering a metal handle inside! He pulled hard... creak! The sound of a hidden door opening came from under the floor.

Lift the carpet,

A staircase leading underground appeared.

Mia stared in astonishment at the scene. "Wow! She can discover all this even while she's asleep? That's amazing... Luo Di, should we continue collecting bloodstones, or go check it out first?"

"Go down, her intuition is usually right."

"Okay, I'll go first! You guys follow behind. I'll handle any dangers."
