Deep Integration

Shh!

Hold your finger up in front of your mouth.

Shoulders tucked in, elbows pulled back, toes flat on the ground.

Clown Jock moved through the park in an extremely exaggerated manner.

It appears exaggerated yet makes no sound, and it happens to be in everyone's blind spot, gradually approaching the memorial hall located at the highest point of the park.

When they were halfway there,

The building's side wall suddenly exploded, and Li Beite flew out, cut in half. A creature resembling Hell Demon chased after him.

Jock only paused for a short while before continuing his ascent.

He arrived at the memorial almost at the perfect moment, unnoticed by anyone. It seemed like a coincidence, or perhaps he obtained this crucial "timing" through some means.

Enter through the main gate,

Stepping deeper into the ground, amidst the scattered pebbles,

Arriving at the art exhibition area without any hindrance, I saw the cement floor that had been chiseled open, with wisps of mist seeping out from below.

Reaching into his stomach,

Jock pulled a huge shovel from his body and continued to approach silently, intending to dig up the corpses below.

His seemingly exaggerated movements are actually extremely stealthy, and even various pre-set sensing methods cannot detect his presence.

If an ordinary person happens to be standing here observing, they will not be able to see anything. At most, they can only catch a glimpse of a pale-colored balloon out of the corner of their eye. Once they try to look closely, they will not be able to see anything at all.

However, the balloon suddenly stopped as it approached the Burial Ground.

The balloon is spinning.

In response to Jock turning his head,

He then noticed that there was an iron bucket in the corner of the room.

His face was full of doubt. He couldn't understand why there were other participants here, as it seemed to be different from the information he had received beforehand.

However, from the outside, it appears that the Girl was simply sleeping inside the metal barrel, just as she had initially done on the train.

Jock chose to ignore it and picked up his shovel, preparing to dig.

A chilling sense of being watched came from behind, forcing him to turn his head back to look at the iron bucket. Although the Girl was still sleeping, her head had moved upwards a short distance.

Jock decisively stopped digging and moved closer to the metal bucket.

He had no intention of killing; he simply blew out a balloon from his mouth, intending to put it over the metal bucket in front of him.

The balloon was about to make contact with the Girl's body.

Suddenly realizing something, Jock decisively swallowed the balloon back into his mouth and left without hesitation, abandoning the misty corpse that was right in front of him.

His face was no longer smiling; it was completely expressionless.

After leaving the memorial hall,

Standing at the highest point, Jock looked around, first glancing at Li Beite, who was displaying her full form by the lake, and then at Luo Di had an extra sword-wielding arm growing from his back.

She glanced again at the other side, at the small grove filled with plague and decay, where the Girl and the burly man were engaged in a direct, head-on battle.

A specially made lucky coin appeared in Jock's hand.

The edge of the coin is not smooth; it has tiny scratches left from countless passes and impacts.

It didn't seem to be a prop belonging to Jock himself, but rather a special reward he received from this incident.

Toss a coin and it lands in your hand.

Jock immediately made the corresponding choice and took the corresponding action.

[Park Lake]

Luo Di had already distanced himself by over a hundred meters, watching Li Beite's new posture.

The opponent not only completely repaired the "severed body" formed by the Hell Slash, but also raised the overall level to a higher level. What were previously separate outer shells and inner parts can now be Complete Fusion.

His "hands," in particular, amplified the effect and intensified the danger.

It seems that there's no need to touch the target anymore; it can simply crush it.

This crisis made my back tremble slightly.

Currently, Li Beite seems to be still adjusting to this posture that he hasn't used in a long time, and hasn't attacked directly. Luo Di seized the opportunity to secretly transmit his thoughts to his companion inside his body:

"Wu Wen, you are incompatible with the mist, and this struggle for the corpses has nothing to do with you."

You can leave now. With your physical disguise and affinity for water, you should be able to quickly evacuate the park and find a place to wait until the incident is over.

I can handle my own affairs. Thank you.

In Luo Di's opinion, Wu Wen didn't need to be here in the first place. After confirming that she couldn't get close to the mist, she should have decisively left the team.

She could choose to seek other opportunities within the city or in the Outskirts, or she could simply stay in the hotel until everything was over, since she had already received a water-related reward.

However,

Luo Di's "suggestion of separation" did not receive a positive response.

Wu Wen was talking about something else, and she was quite serious:

"My initial assumption was wrong... Li Beite's outer shell was not created by his family or organization, but rather he was born with two parts."

For larvae to grow in a corner, they must possess this special characteristic.

The two parts restrict each other, yet complement each other at the same time.

The inner part can perfectly adapt to corners, but is itself chaotic and unpredictable. The outer shell, on the other hand, receives normal education and is cultivated for stability.

The present union is his true form.

Moreover, this is only the beginning; he will reach an even more terrifying state in the future.

He is completely different from ordinary monsters. It seems that the closer he is to humans, the stronger he becomes... Currently, only his forearms have been "humanized".

No matter how it changes, the only thing we need to pay attention to is its "arms".

Compared to before, when he could freely manipulate his inner monster and teleport within a "certain range," he can now directly apply the strikes generated by his arms to that range, completing "remote attacks" without physical contact.

Direct contact could potentially double the damage.

Based on the current situation, Luo Di, your feeling is correct. Even if we join forces, there is a high probability that we will lose. But... let's give it a try.

Being able to fight against such a top-tier opponent is an opportunity in itself. Moreover, given Li Beite's personality, if you choose to show weakness, you will suffer an even more terrible fate.

Only by giving it your all can you have a chance to survive.

And during the time I was inside you, I became certain of one thing...we know each other, and we're quite close. Also, you're probably two-timing me.

"Ah?"

"Your talent for imitation is likely something you learned from me, otherwise our physical fusion rate wouldn't be so high. Next, I will further penetrate your body, and you should try to imitate me, especially your lower body."

Besides the arm structure on the back,

I will give you the speed I need... It will be fast, but there won't be time for you to adapt; you need to apply it in real combat immediately.

"Good."

As soon as Luo Di responded, he felt something spreading through his body, like a silky, watery liquid seeping into his lower body, nourishing every muscle and even bone in his legs.

Compared to the previous thick legs that symbolized the Great Demon of Hell,

The legs have become thinner, and clear muscle fiber bundles can be seen on the skin of the calves, which even outline a beautiful picture.

Suddenly, Luo Di had a strong idea.

"I really want to... go for a run!"

The standard starting position was already in place, facing Li Beite, who was emerging from the lake.

At that moment, he seemed to be back on the starting line of the School Athletics Field.

Run!

Get up and sprint!

Unlike regular sprinters, Luo Di's starting position involves his upper body leaning forward at a 90° angle, almost perpendicular to his lower body, which is extremely aggressive.

At the same time,

Li Beite had just revealed his true form, also noticed this change and felt that Luo Di's legs seemed to have become somewhat different.

He raised his pure white arm, preparing to strike...

Whoosh!

The target in front of us has disappeared.

All that remained was the grass torn apart by speed and the water that hadn't had time to gather.

Whoosh!

A sharp cut appeared on Li Beite's palm and cheek, neither deep nor shallow, just enough to cut through the flesh without damaging the bone.

Tick-tock tick-tock~

Pure white blood flowed from the wound.

Li Beite never expected that after he revealed his true form, he would be the one who got injured first.

Speed corresponds to a surge in individual kinetic energy, and even if the original strength remains unchanged, the offensive capability will be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, in that brief moment, Li Beite actually lost sight of his target.

"So fast!"

Li Beite sensed danger and quickly turned his hollow head to try and track Luo Di's movements.

But then all they heard was... Boom! A deafening explosion.

He locked onto the past through his special long-distance vision and saw an incomprehensible scene that even made Li Beite tilt his head slightly.

Luo Di seemed to have lost control of his speed, slipped, and crashed into a Public Restroom hundreds of meters away, smashing it to pieces. The dust was mixed with foul-smelling yellow gas.
