Distant Contact

It may seem like just a simple matter of bending your fingers into a circle,

In reality, there exists a special process inside that Luo Di cannot understand, which restricts the essence of this finger to the greatest extent, allowing that chaotic Origin Fear to be stably output outward.

Through conversations with Mr. Kraft, it was learned that

This finger is essentially equivalent to a qualification, allowing an individual to advance to a higher level after reaching the late stage of Plant Maturity.

With Mr. Kraft's help, this symbol of qualification was made into a "Movie Prop" to match Luo Di's use.

This allows things that were originally intended for later use to be used normally now.

Because of its preciousness, revealing it might attract various high-level monsters to fight over it, so Luo Di has never dared to use it and has basically kept it deep inside his body.

current,

The dungeon space in a solo film is the perfect place to use it; apart from the corners, no one will know what's going on there.

Huff... Take a deep breath.

Compared to dealing with Miss Tian, the [finger] in front of him made Luo Di more nervous, even awestruck.

Even though he had been modified, the moment Luo Di saw the finger, he could still recall the terrifying scene of falling into the finger nest, which made his whole body go numb and his pores swell.

But Luo Di did not hesitate.

I promptly put the ring on.

Right hand, middle finger.

The moment you put it on,

Buzz! Time stands still.

The bubbles that were rising towards the lake surface stopped moving.

The aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake no longer floated.

The sky above this "Crystal Lake" movie scene appears as if a curtain has been torn open by something.

What followed was the spreading darkness, endless darkness, deathly darkness.

Black filters everything.

Completely cover the scene constructed by Luo Di.

Miss Tian on the shore was also covered up and excluded.

Even the so-called dungeon movie space was isolated.

At this moment,

Only Luo Di exists.

It was as if he were all alone on a dark island.

Some kind of "contact" is about to occur.

At the top of the pitch-black sky,

A giant hand is hanging limply.

It showed no signs of life, like the arm of a dead person.

It only descended to this position in response to Luo Di.

It is said to be "hands"

That's actually a bit of a stretch.

Because the surface of the hand is covered with fingers of various lengths, and even smaller sub-fingers are formed from the fingers.

Like branches forking.

On the back of his hand were also jet-black fingers resembling a cluster of tombstones, standing stiffly upright.

The longest and heaviest finger was slowly descending towards Luo Di's location.

Luo Di also responded at the same time.

He raised his right arm.

He extended his middle finger.

As soon as their fingertips touch, some unknown connection and transmission will be formed.

but,

There is a distance between Luo Di is at the bottom of the lake, and the hand that descended from the sky. It will take time to close this distance, and in the time of waiting...

As a human, Luo Di

Luo Di, who possesses curiosity

To look beyond this giant hand and peer into the arm behind it, or even beyond the arm and peer into something far deeper.

This is the essence of humanity; it is curiosity that gives rise to civilization.

But sometimes, curiosity isn't necessarily a good thing.

Luo Di, casting his gaze into the depths, was immediately "drawn in"—an attraction that wasn't subjective, but objective. Something was pulling at Luo Di's eyeballs, compelling him to continue this exploration.

The view extends beyond the giant hand in the sky.

Continuing upwards along the dense network of fingers on the surface of the arm,

After moving his field of vision hundreds or even thousands of meters, Luo Di thought he could finally see the body connected to the giant arm.

But... he was wrong!

He was completely wrong!

At the end of the arm was just an even larger hand.

Or, to put it another way, Luo Di subjectively believed that the "arm" was actually just a finger connected to a larger palm, and there were many similar structures.

Moreover, behind this even larger hand lies a deeper, larger, and more complex structure.

The only thing that is certain is that

No matter how large these structures are, they are all in a Death State.

Luo Di suddenly felt his brain starting to malfunction; even his hellish brain structure became unbearably painful. The amount of information his brain could process was increasing exponentially, as if it were trying to cramm every single brain cell.

It even forced Luo Di's brain to begin abnormal proliferation in order to obtain a larger storage capacity.

But he couldn't look away.

The gaze, which was being held so intently, was still trying to capture more images.

Blood began to flow from Luo Di's seven orifices, and finger-like structures began to grow outward from his cerebral cortex. He felt that he was about to disintegrate and be assimilated into such a finger-like creature.

At a critical moment.

The ring worn on the middle finger emitted a wave of thought, instantly severing the gaze and pulling Luo Di's consciousness back to the bottom of the lake.

Gray tendrils wrapped around his brain, eliminating the proliferation and bringing about rapid adaptation and cognitive closure, ensuring that his cognition would not disintegrate due to the recent spying.

During the time Luo Di was in a daze

The enormous finger at the very tip had reached the top of his head, waiting to make contact.

Without hesitation, Luo Di quickly raised his right arm and extended his middle finger.

Touch with fingertips.

Ripples spread out.

A faint, tiny, ant-like beam of energy traveled along the giant finger and flowed into Luo Di's body.

Luo Di could clearly feel an aura spreading throughout his body and lingering in every cell.

This aura,

It is called divinity.

Unlike the Blood Bible,

This was Luo Di's own divinity, and even if it was only a "trace amount," it had reached the limit he could currently withstand. If it were just a little more, his physical body would immediately disintegrate.

This ring, crafted by Mr. Kraft, is more like a restraint.

Ensure that Luo Di, who is in the budding stage, can stably acquire the corresponding divinity behind him.

but,

This encounter, however, made Luo Di sense an even stronger sense of danger.

"This finger corresponds to the original body. This enormous being has actually died... A crisis that I cannot reach is approaching. I must grow faster."

Buzz!

Contact complete.

The giant hand from the unknown dead retracted the sky, and the darkness that had enveloped the movie scene was also taken away.

A notification sound from the corner followed immediately.

<Special Item - [The Forgotten Finger (Modified)]>

[Type]: Corner Divinity *

[Owner]: Luo Di (Black Gate)

[Source]: Special divine essences scattered in various corners and hidden in deep secret places. Humans or monsters who can find and obtain this object are already qualified to use it.

[Purpose]: This object can be used to "upgrade" Pituitary Plant when it reaches its final mature state.

[Special*]: This item has been modified by an unknown high-level power. In addition to achieving the effect of divinity, it can also be used as a functional terrorist tool.

Its effects when used as a special terrorist weapon are as follows:

"Divinity Bestowal": Grants an individual a slight divine quality, which will enhance the corresponding corner trait*.

*Enhances the "Cinematic Transformation" effect of the holder, Luo Di, making the domain effect stronger and more realistic. If an individual portrays a related serial killer, they will also gain a higher degree of imitation and cinematic effect enhancement.

If the ability to Cinematic Transformation grows and changes, the corresponding divine enhancement will also change accordingly.

"Restraint": The ring itself will constantly restrain the divine effect, keeping it in a "low concentration state" so as not to affect the development of individual plants or cause them to grow too fast.

"Divinity... enhanced Cinematic Transformation? Next time I visit Mr. Kraft, I must bring two more cases of Mengniu milk."

[Tool Construction]

Luo Di immediately conjured a butcher's knife using his Hellish Ability, while his left hand gripped a series of thick, curved iron chains.

Jason's disguise also changed accordingly.

The hockey mask had Demon Horn growing from its forehead.

The canvas work jacket is covered in hellish scorch marks, with ash-like edges.

The bottom of the Rubber Boots appears to have lava emerging.

Using his divinity and the asymmetry he had learned from his "mother," Luo Di attempted to asymmetrically fuse the two forms, successfully obtaining the initial form of "Hellish Jason."

Although it can still be optimized, it is already perfect enough for now.

Lakeside

Miss Tian confirmed that Luo Di was at the bottom of the lake by using her marker, but just as she was about to go into the water, she was scalded by the Lake Water.

The Lake Water water is heating up rapidly and shows signs of boiling.

"It's so hot... what's going on?"

Clang!

Sudden,

An iron chain leaped out of the water.

The hook at the top pierced through Miss Tian's deformed body in an instant, and she immediately grabbed the chain, trying to use it to pull Luo Di out.

Who knew!

Buzz!

A pure force surged along the iron chain; the two forces were on completely different levels, and Miss Tian instantly lost her balance and was pulled towards the bottom of the lake.

deep,

A Hell Murderer is waiting there.
