Luo Di temporarily used a specially made Hell Book Seal to pack the few remaining pages. Whether to use this object would be considered slowly after leaving this place.
The movie scene is removed.
Just as Luo Di was about to take off the ring, he suddenly stopped, maintaining his divine state while conjuring a Hell Bone Umbrella to block the rain.
"This... Miss Kayako, can you still use this place?"
In the sky above, a snail shell-like rain cloud swirled,
with rain containing disease pouring constantly,
The campus, which was normal before the battle with the Fish Man, had now completely mutated.
Even the grass itself had curled and calcified, forming green snail shells that would make a distinct sound of a soft shell breaking and leave behind a pool of mucus when stepped on.
The building surfaces also appeared with various protrusions resembling snail shells.
Some staff also returned to the primary school, but they were not walking, rather crawling, carrying huge snail shells on their backs, their eyes with synaptic structures poking out, faces full of smiles, looking extremely happy.
Katayama’s infection was above the Fish Man.
Kayako, who was possessing the body, seemed uncomfortable, voluntarily peeling away, with her body surface also starting to show various sizes of snail shell structures.
And her original fish infection couldn’t be repaired. Thıs text ıs hosted at Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
The situation seemed to be getting worse.
But Kayako herself showed an indifferent expression, she picked a cluster of snail shells growing on her face, looking at the infected material within.
"The ending here is meant to be destruction, your friend may cover the whole city with infection in a short time, but his infection can’t penetrate the sea.
The true invasion source is hidden in the ocean region.
The fallen monster you killed was merely a holder of comic fragments, behind the deep sea should be more complete comics or something else beyond what you can handle now.
The collapse here will correspond to my dissolution, this is the best ending I envisioned from the beginning, thank you for helping me, at least killing this intruder.
You have a long way to go, please make sure to eradicate these things from the corners inside and out, if possible, directly go to their root location and annihilate them."
Luo Di didn’t say any words of retention, just nodded in response.
With the peeling of the snail shell, Kayako’s body began to dissipate, her black hair now showing less resentment and more humanity.
"During the time I possessed you, I found out your Black Door attribute doesn’t match with me, neither curses nor spiritualization could assist you in any way.
However, I discovered one thing, your tongue seems very special, and you seem to use it cautiously as if a bit wary.
My grudge can mark targets without medium, if this tongue has a connection with something else, my grudge might be able to pinpoint its exact position.
I can sear the remnant grudge onto your tongue before vanishing."
Inside a high school campus, corresponding to the event "Examined to Death (Manga Adapted Version)"
The entire campus fell into a severe state of dissolution,
The grounds were littered with the remains of teachers and students after dissolution, even the buildings themselves were dissolving.
Inside a certain classroom,
Teacher Guo’s student, the Green Gate monster Song Huiwen’s posture required completely bending over to fit inside.
Her lower body and most organs had also dissolved, relying solely on a purple talisman on her forehead to move normally.
Yu Ze stands unharmed, seemingly unaffected by the dissolution, piercing a bespectacled youth firmly against the blackboard with a copper coin sword in hand.
He had already set up the altar,
holding an Eight Diagrams Mirror in his palm, aiming it at the person’s head.
As the Eight Diagrams Mirror turns,
the person’s eyes were first removed, followed by two drifting pages being securely caught by Yu Ze.
The other person quickly vanished due to the departure of the pages.
The dissolution effect covering the campus and the entire event scene disappeared thereafter.
Yu Ze flicked his sword, and the talisman on Song Huiwen’s head was taken off, her strong vitality rapidly began to regenerate.
With the dissolution having destroyed the spatial structure and the essence of the event, the world they were in was collapsing.
Song Huiwen moved her monstrous body to Yu Ze’s side, extending her tongue from her mouth full of sharp teeth, licking the young man’s face,
as if to express appreciation and gratitude in this way,
or perhaps leaving a scent on the young man, regarding him as a similar kind.
The woman’s head slowly lowered, whispering softly in Yu Ze’s ear:
"How come you haven’t become a monster with such thoughts? It looks like the world you’re connected to can help maintain your mental stability... I really want to see what you’d look like as a monster."
Yu Ze merely smiled slightly and didn’t respond.
The camera pulls back,
the dissolved corpses of the school and the surrounding city faded away, leaving pieces of light yellow talisman on the ground.
In an underground transportation hub of a certain city, relating to the event "Midnight Cannibal Train (Comic Adaptation)"
Only Wu Wen stood between the carriages,
holding a Blood Sword,
Despite her body’s surface showing no visible scars, she appeared incredibly weak, even needing to use specially assembled flesh and the stretching of skin to barely stand.
In front of her lay what only seemed like an ordinary girl, but her teeth appeared somewhat special.
the corpse in front of her started to squirm, and Wu Wen tightly gripped the sword handle, ready to strike.
But in the next second,
the corpse’s mouth opened, and tiny flower pistils emerged one by one. On the tips of the pistils, several tattered comic pages were carried out.
Hua Yuan did not claim the comics for himself but instead handed them over to Wu Wen, seemingly recognizing that they were rightfully hers.
"Wu Wen, just a little reminder, don’t use this recklessly, wait until you’ve asked Teacher Guo before making a decision.
Even though I was chosen by the comic store and given a comic book.
The comic book left inside me was, at first, just a blank slate, without any content.
The book itself gradually reveals content based on my progress, and currently, there are only three effective torn pages in me, similar to the little girl we just killed.
I know your ambition isn’t small, but don’t let it kill you.
The abyss behind these comics likely leads to somewhere unknown to us, maybe even a place far beyond our understanding, capable of easily obliterating the Corner.
I can’t predict what exactly it is, but Teacher Guo should know more."
Wu Wen simply accepted the torn pages.
Once the corpse on the ground disintegrated, Wu Wen finally returned to normal, immediately using a layer of skin structure to wrap up the torn pages.
"Sister Hua, don’t worry~ I’m not that impulsive.
It’s just that these creatures betraying the Corner are truly formidable, able to gnaw at our souls directly; no matter how perfectly I control my body, it can’t defend against such damage."
Hua Yuan scoffed, "Tsk~ you call that defenseless? You practically killed her on your own... It seems this Teacher Guo indeed knows how to teach some very useful things, I’ve decided to stay."
"Let’s go back, Hua Yuan, hopefully, Luo Di and the others are fine."
The event collapsed, and the curse dissipated.
Luo Di, as an outside participant, was forcibly sent back to the starting place, the dungeon entrance, at the transformed image store.
Luo Di’s hand suddenly landed on Katayama’s sticky shoulder, trying to pull him entirely out of the immersive state released by the infection.
Both shouting and shaking his body had no effect.
Katayama was currently in an immersive state, potentially infecting the whole entrance, snails were already creeping on the surrounding shelves.
Luo Di prepared to activate Hell Mode, intending to dry him out through forced heating.
another thin hand rested upon his.
The back of the hand had veins in a vortex structure, flowing.
Katayama instantly released from his infection state, looking apologetically at the figures before him, "I’m sorry, Teacher Guo, and Luo... I haven’t let myself go in a long time and couldn’t immediately re-adjust."
However, Teacher Guo wasn’t blaming, he gently flicked his hand to shake off the mucus, "You did well, you both can relax a bit and then come down to the assembly, you’re the last group to come out.
This operation can be considered a success, and afterwards, we can formally establish the organization."
Luo Di was somewhat surprised, "We’re the last? Did everyone make it out? Are they alright?"
"Altogether, there were three groups able to strip the torn pages, but one group’s members died during the event."
"What! Which group!?"
"My two students, the fourth group."
Phew... Luo Di sighed in relief since all others were his friends.
Yet, on closer thought, it made sense, whether it was Yu Ze, Lebeite, or Wu Wen and Hua Yuan, it was unlikely for any major issues to occur.
Jin Zho who was proficient in curses and the mute Black and White were not weak, both having reached a mature plant state while still being individuals who harnessed comics, personally selected by Teacher Guo.
Much like Katayama, the potential behind them was terrifying.
Luo Di couldn’t help but wonder, "The difficulty of such mutation events is indeed existent, but not enough to claim their lives... what exactly did they encounter?"
Teacher Guo, walking ahead, halted, seemingly also feeling something amiss.
"These two were gifted, with great potential, they shouldn’t have perished here... as my chosen students, at least during our time, I fulfilled my duty.
Their deaths were unexpected, and due to the distance, I could only receive faint information on their demise."
Teacher Guo opened his palm, a faint mist released from the vortex-like palm pattern.
Seeing the mist, Luo Di’s eyes widened.
