Spine (Bonus Chapter for Purple Alliance Leader and Operations Officer)

hot,

The classroom, which had been shrouded in gloom, suddenly became warm.

The class monitor on the podium could clearly feel the heat; an inexplicable heat forced her to unzip her blouse partly, exposing her upper body to dissipate heat.

His slightly tilted head was staring at Luo Di in the last row, completely unable to understand what the other was doing.

"Mind Corner? No... What are you doing, Luo Di?"

Luo Di, with his eyes closed and legs crossed,

He wields Zombie Blade with one arm, and removes the hair and teeth from the blade, reverting to its original form.

He was cutting his own body from the front with a sharp, pointed blade.

Based on the three cuts the squad leader made on his chest, it seemed as if something was being carved.

This process cannot be completed immediately.

The class monitor could have killed Luo Di outright, but she simply stood on the podium, waiting, observing, and even admiring him, her eyes seemingly returning to their former state.

Perhaps it was a whisper from the Mind Corner urging the class monitor to do this.

Perhaps she suddenly became interested and wanted to see what other tricks Luo Di had up his sleeve.

Or perhaps there are other purposes.

[Perspective Switch]

Luo Di was focused on the symbols etched in his memory, trying to carve these symbols, which he had glimpsed in Hell, onto his own body, completely absorbed in ensuring that the carved symbols were accurate.

Cross, spiral, pentagram,

Various characters that he couldn't understand were still clearly etched in his mind.

Throughout the carving process, his tongue was also tapping at a fixed frequency.

The air absorbed through the nasal cavity begins to change.

The once normal air gradually became dry and scorching, even carrying some ash.

Gradually, I caught a whiff of that unique sulfurous smell, the smell of hell.

Once the last rune is engraved,

The perfect Hell Symbol merged with Luo Di, and a strong burning sensation came from the front of his body, as if the entire symbol had begun to burn.

The increasingly intense burning sensation finally forced Luo Di to open his eyes.

Ashes drifted down,

The classroom before me was no longer dark and cold, and the class monitor was no longer there.

Arriving in Hell again,

The air was still so dry, every breath felt like it was burning my lungs, but this time there was no acid rain, and the heat was slightly less than last time.

The eyes were not affected by the dryness and could see everything clearly.

Unlike before, he was not bound to a cross and randomly planted in the scorched wasteland, waiting for his blood to drain away.

This time,

Luo Di was in a magnificent hall, scarred and charred.

The palace is ridiculously large; each of the obsidian pillars supporting it is the size of a skyscraper in a city, and the entire palace is estimated to have an interior height of over a thousand meters.

The scorch marks covering the ground and pillars replaced the function of lamps, bringing light and heat.

However, Luo Di is not free.

His limbs were pierced by obsidian chains resembling thorns, stretched out in a spread-eagle position, and suspended fifty meters in the air, completely naked.

The Zombie Transformation has been completely reversed, but the left arm, which should have been severed, is perfectly intact here.

It seems that what has arrived here is not a real physical body, but rather a projected essence of the soul.

The runes carved by Luo Di on his abdomen were clearly visible and were still oozing blood.

Drops of blood fell from the sky and landed in the huge pool of blood directly below.

Around the blood pool stood a circle of "priests" who could be called giants by humans, each at least five meters tall.

These priests wore uniform attire: long robes made of black linen stitched together, adorned with runes carved from black stones, and belts resembling hemp ropes tied around their waists.

The overall style leans towards primitive.

Their exposed arms were jet black, a stark contrast to the image of the Devil with bright red skin.

The most distinctive feature of this group of priests is their [head].

The heads of all the priests were cut off and tied to hemp ropes around their waists.

Long dried up

It seems that the head is a superfluous part for them, and that excessive and complex thoughts would affect their daily work.

However, their necks were not empty.

Blood, like that of a living being, gushed from his neck in thick lines, tracing strange symbols in the air. The style of these symbols resembled the Hell Symbol that Luo Di had carved on his body.

At that moment, a series of sounds traveled directly into Luo Di's skull.

"Dear one from a distant land, your bloodlust has resonated with us, and the True Hell has answered your call."

Clang~

The black stone thorns piercing through Luo Di's body began to descend.

His body descended into the blood pool at the lower end.

Glug glug~

The once tranquil blood pool began to bubble, not because any creature was breathing beneath it, but because the entire blood pool was being heated to a boiling point.

The scorching heat alone had already caused numerous blisters to form on Luo Di's body.

The decline continues.

When his feet fell into the scalding pool of blood, the intense heat instantly melted his skin.

Even Luo Di screamed in agony, his body instinctively struggling violently, the black stone thorns binding him rattling with each struggle.

The giant priests surrounding them were chanting something.

During this process, Luo Di was completely submerged in the blood pool, his screams drowning out the torrent.

[Store Visit Time]

Today's Mosaic Chef was invited to a hot pot restaurant with extremely high temperatures to taste the restaurant's specialty, "Quick-Heating Bullfrog".

This special hot pot, cooked at ultra-high temperatures, can cook bullfrogs in just three seconds.

Mosaic Chef carefully picked up a live bullfrog that had been knocked unconscious and put it into the pot. Just as he was about to start the verbal timer, the live stream experienced a serious buffering problem.

To ensure a good viewing experience for the audience, Mosaic Chef immediately switched the hot pot restaurant's Wi-Fi to mobile data mode.

However, it is precisely because of this delay that

The bullfrog had been cooking in the pot for more than thirty seconds.

When the chopsticks were used to pick it up, the frog meat was gone, leaving only a broken skeleton.

I don't know how much time has passed.

As the priests finished chanting,

The black thorns pulled Luo Di's body, gradually lifting him out of the blood pool.

Not only was the flesh and blood gone, but most of the bones in the body, and even the skull, had melted away, leaving only one thing.

A "spine" dyed blackish-red.

At the same time, it is this spine that connects to the four black stone thorns.

The complete spine was removed from the blood pool, where thick smoke was still billowing from its surface.

It seemed that all of Luo Di's flesh and bones had been incorporated into it, and it seemed that some kind of hellish substance had been injected into his spine from that special blood pool.

"The Hell Spine has been forged; welcome to be one of us."

Despair!

A series of clicking sounds rang out.

Luo Di suddenly opened his eyes.

Back in that dark classroom, the temperature had reached 40°C.

Thick smoke was billowing from his back.

In the previous battle, the squad leader's claws had already torn and damaged the clothes on his back.

Now, a clearly visible, smoking spine protrudes outwards, rising high, with a blackish-red hue, and is flawless.

A continuous stream of power is surging from the spine.

Luo Di could clearly feel that he had become different, as if he had truly become a killer in a movie who would never die and maintained absolute suppression and dominance.

As blood flows through the spine, the replacement process is completed.

Dark, bulging veins stood out on the skin's surface, and the person's pupils were completely blackened.

Even without a flashlight, one can see the entire dark classroom.

You can clearly see the bright red heart beating beneath the squad leader's skin.

And the pituitary gland that exists inside the skull, the Mind Corner etched on the surface of the pituitary gland.
