Luo Di pushed open the ward door, and the entire floor was empty.

Whether it was Wu Wen, Hua Yuan, or the previous nurse.

However, the hospital's power supply system was still working normally. Luo Di took the elevator to the first floor and ran back to the hospital lobby from the inpatient department, but there was no one there either.

"The dream has not yet expressed any aggression or attack; it is simply a pure emptiness."

Is the intention to trap me here completely until I develop a mental vulnerability before launching a deeper intrusion?

Or is it simply trapping me until this substance completely takes over my brain, bringing eternal sleep, which in some ways is no different from death, equivalent to a 'slow death' process?

The same applies to those suffering from narcolepsy; their symptoms worsen over time until they are unable to wake up forever.

Let's try to force our way out first.

Luo Di's abilities were not restricted; he could even freely enter and exit the Pituitary Space, and he was currently giving himself a torture chamber package.

After the intense pain subsided, the scene before my eyes remained unchanged.

He tried various psychological methods, but none of them worked.

"The light blue crystalline dust should correspond to 'misfortune,' so I deliberately inhaled an extremely large dose, and the effect seems to be exceptionally good."

Since my abilities have not been affected in any way,

What would happen if I made contact with True Hell in my dream? Could a dream possibly materialize hell? Wouldn't it just collapse?

Luo Di advantage of the empty space in the hospital lobby,

Swish! He sliced open his wrist with a palm and began to bleed, using his own blood to draw Hell Symbol, thereby forming a Teleportation Array array.

However, just as the symbol was about to be drawn, Luo Di's expression changed, and he quickly covered his wrist to stop the bleeding.

"No... there's something wrong with my thinking."

This realistic dream is not aggressive at all, and it does not restrict the abilities of the dreamer at all; all of its power is used to maintain the stability of the dream space.

Is it possible that the other person wants us to demonstrate our abilities in our dreams, in order to gain a deeper understanding of us?

This is a higher level of dream... it's not just about eternal sleep.

As we demonstrate our abilities in the dream, this dream monster can 'learn' or even 'steal' my abilities.

I had a vague feeling that someone was watching me from the corner while I was drawing the symbols...

Luo Di suddenly turned his head and looked at the dimmest corner of the hospital lobby.

Under the constantly flashing lights, there was only a mop standing there.

"This monster is very special, but..."

Luo Di got up and left the hospital. The scene outside was no different from reality, and there was no one there either.

Gaa!

A mournful cawing of crows shattered the deathly silence.

Palm open,

Its jet-black beak pierces through the skin from the inside.

What emerged from within were not crows, but rather jet-black fleshy whiskers bearing the heads of crows, which intertwined and quickly formed a jet-black steed.

When Luo Di sat down with one hand supporting his back, the horse's back automatically sank to form a seat structure, and two dark holes appeared at the horse's head, just big enough to insert his palm.

"Walk!"

A dark shadow shot out swiftly.

Speeding through the streets at nearly 300 km/h, and even accelerating further, Luo Di was heading in only one direction.

They sped out of Pluto City and onto the highway, still showing no sign of stopping.

This continued for a full half hour, and just as they were about to reach the next city, Luo Di finally saw what he had expected.

"Boundary"

A clear dividing line appeared in front of the road, and this dividing line was also moving at an extremely fast speed, immediately forming a corresponding spatial structure in the area it swept across.

"Sure enough, the dream world is calculated in real time based on my brain's memories, and it's impossible to build a complete world framework from the beginning."

Limited Space

In that case, there's no need to look for an exit or find the guy hiding behind the scenes.

Let's handle it in the simplest way possible.

With palms on the horse's back, the foal is retrieved.

Whoosh!

The familiar Hell Hilt was drawn from the palm.

This time, what was poured into the hilt was not flesh and bone marrow, but pure Hell Metal.

It has been transformed into the most common butcher's knife.

At this moment,

Standing on the highway, Luo Di made an inexplicable move.

Kneel on one knee

A hand gently caresses the earth, giving the feeling of examining and comforting some kind of ingredient.

With his other hand, he held the butcher knife high, as if about to slaughter someone.

His target for slaughter was not any specific person or thing, but the earth itself...

Just before the slaughter began, Luo Di once again felt a sense of being watched.

The sound came from the woods on the side of the highway. Behind a tree trunk, it seemed as if a man was peeking out, watching everything.

Luo Di, however, chose to ignore it and focus on the matter at hand.

"Look around, learn whatever you want, as long as you can learn it..."

As he spoke,

Luo Di brought his sword down with a single stroke, slashing at the road surface. He was all too familiar with this feeling; he had been repeating this action for four days and four nights on his journey to hell.

"The Great Slaughter"

When!

The blade fell to the ground.

As the crack appeared on the ground, the entire space trembled slightly.

With each slash, this incredibly realistic dream world seemed to be pressed onto a chopping board by Luo Di, being slaughtered like food.

The being that had been spying from behind the tree was also completely shocked by what it saw.

He seemed never to have expected that the other party would choose to break the dream in this way.

One day ago

[Deep in Hell - World Slaughterhouse]

Luo Di was already able to follow the butchers here and chop meat in a very professional manner, feeding the processed corpses to the Hell's Essence.

Although his efficiency is still not as good as the smallest butcher here, it is getting close.

Although the "ring" played a significant role at the beginning, Luo Di is now able to slaughter animals on his own.

During the four days and four nights of relentless slaughter,

Luo Di learned more than just how to become a butcher of hell.

Furthermore, through repeated, purely brutal acts of slaughter, they gained the most basic understanding of killing.

He integrated, digested, and absorbed his experiences from the "corner experience" after the sprouting of the videotape incident.

The growth gained from it is perfectly expressed through the current hellish slaughter.

The final result is "Plant Growth".

The "Victim's Sprout," planted in the lunar cellar and nourished by a pot, is changing towards the next small stage.

Plant Maturity is just a general term.

In reality, the process from germination to maturity involves three stages: germination (seedling) → leaf growth → flowering → fruiting (maturity).

Leaves began to grow on the plain, black plant surface. The leaves looked ordinary, but they vaguely resembled the shape of a butcher's knife.

Throughout the leaf-growing process, the faces in the soil all showed expressions of fear, as if they were about to be slaughtered.

As the leaf growth is completed,

Luo Di also completed his slaughter experience deep in hell.

The notification sound came directly from the corner. Although it sounded like a television being severely interfered with, Luo Di could still barely make it out.

<Victim's Sprout (Leaf Growing Stage)>

Based on the individual's growth from seedling to Leaf Growing Stage, the main keywords include slaughter, immortality, adaptation, and camouflage (in order of importance).

The formation of leaves is influenced not only by growth but also by the environment and atmosphere during the final formation stage.

Leaf Name - "The Great Slaughter"*

Everything can be slaughtered.

It has now been incorporated into the individual's Fear System, with the following effects:

1. Enhancing the effect of Consciousness Slash can influence reality to a certain extent.

2. It is more effective when using Hand Blade or bladed weapons, and is no longer limited to fleshy creatures. When the slaughter effect is applied, regardless of the type of matter the target, it will be affected by the same effect as chopping fleshy creatures.

3. When used in conjunction with the "Cinematic Transformation" trait, it will have a better effect when targeting specific creatures.

As Luo Di enters the Leaf Growing Stage.

The Will of Hell was very satisfied with the behavioral answer given by Luo Di.

§When your kingdom is formed, the True Hell will provide the soil necessary for its existence. At that time, new Hell Faction will emerge.§

The entire dream world is being slaughtered by Luo Di and is on the verge of collapse.

The guy who had been hiding in the woods and spying actually came out on his own, seemingly not worried about being slaughtered.

When Luo Di saw that the other party had taken the initiative to show himself, he gradually stopped what he was doing. Anyway, he could continue slaughtering at any time, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Looking to the side,

A handsome young man with delicate features, wearing glasses but no hair, walked out of the Yu Lin. He was also wearing a standard hospital gown.

"As expected of Mr. Di, he was able to come up with such a solution."

However, this is just a dream created by my avatar, and it is far from the dream of my true self.

"If Mr. Di is interested, you can come find me in this corner... and then I'll try your problem-solving method to see if it works."

"What if I don't contact you?"

"You should be able to, after all... I wasn't the one who set the questions, I was just acting as a temporary test paper. Goodbye in the corner, Mr. Di."

The bald youth snapped his fingers at his temple.

Snap!

The dream disappeared.

Luo Di suddenly woke up in his hospital bed.

The first thing you see is the Female Face lying on the headboard.
