Chapter 622: Chapter 604: Cold
Mingwang City, outside the Fifth Hospital, Deep Blue Internet Cafe.
Hook didn’t know how, but suddenly felt his fingers stiffen for a moment, resulting in a blunder and being killed by the opponent. The computer screen displayed a black and white scene.
In the past, when encountering such situations, he would often resort to using a torture device on himself as punishment for his lack of focus and blunders.
But this time was different; the momentary stiffness made him realize something.
[“Favorite thing is torture” initiated surrender]
Oculus and David, sitting together with him, immediately cast strange glances, as they both adhered to the Hell’s creed—even if it was just a game, the idea of surrendering had never crossed their minds.
David patted his belly, “Hook, did your mindset explode? Becoming more and more like a human?”
Oculus did notice some issues, “An intruder?”
“No… Although it was just a fleeting feeling, I can be sure that Luo Di is going to die.”
Upon hearing this, Oculus directly clicked to surrender, as Luo Di was the treasure of Spine, the key to breaking the pattern again, and a significant node personally named by the boss.
Although unwilling, David also clicked to surrender.
The base exploded, game over.
David wasn’t concerned at all, “Our activity area here is severely restricted, we can’t even go a little farther to eat, let alone go to any corner, we just can’t help him, right?”
Hook inserted the Hook between his brain for deep thinking, “There’s a way… Oculus just needs to help me a bit.”
Oculus pushed up his glasses, seemingly guessed what, and immediately stood up.
David intended to follow, but his belly was stuck by the seat, “I’ll wait for you at the cafe, come back soon! I’ll do a few solo queues first.”
Yu Lu stood on the playground like a female corpse, a black and light dress draped over her, reaching just to the knees.
Black hair and straight bangs covered the parts above the nose, revealing only pale pink lips.
Cold, white skin was exposed, thermal imaging could hardly detect her presence, the surrounding air was rapidly cooling.
When Luo Di went onto the field, he greeted politely, though he felt this exchange was somewhat uncomfortable or unfamiliar for some reason.
Not long ago, he indeed spent some time with Yu Lu, even being taken to the basement.
Then Luo Di was busy going back and forth, hardly returning to the Sisterhood. The last time he went back, he didn’t proactively head to the basement, and hadn’t met for a while.
No matter how good friends are, long separations inevitably lead to unfamiliarity.
“Are you afraid? Luo Di.”
Under the bangs, ring-shaped pupils stared at the young man whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
Or rather, since Yu Lu arrived here, at least half the time was spent observing Luo Di, observing this young man who once had a hanging experience together with her.
He indeed changed a lot.
“No… I’m a bit excited, hence sweating.”
Luo Di stuck out his tongue to just lick off the sweat that trickled down, his whole body started bouncing lightly on the spot.
“Phew… Yu Lu, your death is a bit different from when we collaborated before, possibly your plants are soon merging with the pituitary space.
And coincidentally, there are so many teachers watching, even if I might truly die, they would forcefully pull me back from the ghost gate.
So we just fight with all our might.”
Yu Lu tilted her head slightly, “Full force? Okay.”
Teacher Guo was already raising his arm high.
Whether outside the field or on stage,
everyone felt a wave of chilly aura encircling their necks, especially the students felt the most noticeable, as if being strangled by a hemp rope, rendering breathless.
Everyone was merely affected by the hanging, Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovєlFіre.net
Luo Di was the main target,
a visible hanging rope had already encircled Luo Di’s neck, suspending him in the air, one meter above the ground.
Though not an ordinary hemp rope, it’s a manifestation of death concretization; once an individual’s neck is encircled by it, it essentially pronounces death.
A strong engine sound arrived, Luo Di, without any hand movements, actually broke free of the rope.
Careful observation would reveal,
around Luo Di’s neck surprisingly were intricate metallic gear saw blades, spinning at high speed under the influence of Hell energy, constantly causing ashes to float around.
breaking free from the restraint, landing in an instant.
Ashen wings unfolded behind,
Old Spine completely protruded outside,
both hands already posed a swing-arm posture,
the moment wings flapped, Luo Di simultaneously stomped the ground, adopting the same running posture as Wu Wen.
Forty-five sized work shoes stepped forward, a huge force left a deep shoe imprint on the ground, buzz… bursting sprinting moment, air waves were visible exploding around the body.
The morning runs during this period brought good results,
although prolonged running might not compare to Wu Wen, Lebeite, these monsters. But short-term bursts, he surely wouldn’t lag behind.
Ashes hadn’t even caught up,
Luo Di had already completed close range.
His right hand immediately seized the opponent’s neck, along with gray tentacles restricting together.
Left arm simultaneously created a Hell Chainsaw Blade specifically targeting icy death.
Scorching, dry, vibrant Hell sawtooth,
As it cut and crushed, he sent part of her body into the left arm for deep analysis.
Swish~ Yu Lu’s flesh was thoroughly torn from head to toe… only this scene required no censorship, because there wasn’t any red splatter nor any contents falling.
It’s like dissecting a body that’s long been hollowed out.
Only about five seconds had passed since the sparring began.
This kind of decisiveness and instant killing made quite a few in the audience stare wide-eyed, and even Mr. Question Mark, hiding away, gently tugged at his collar.
“Jia Wen, what do you think?”
“To have such a physical burst and coordination before the plant’s maturity, if he is a newcomer, I’d give him a nine.”
“Why is he missing one point?”
“Not purely physical.”
“Who do you think will win?”
Jia Wen’s answer was on the tip of his tongue but was quickly swallowed back before slipping out.
On the surface, the answer to this duel seemed very clear, but for Mr. Question Mark to ask like that, it meant there was a major issue.
“Boss, you… think Luo Di will win?”
“Then that’s right, there’s no real suspense in this match; it’s bound to be the executioner bred by the grandmother winning. The perfection of the plant differs too much, not to mention this woman’s plant quality is top-notch, no matter how genius this kid is, he can’t bridge the gap in rank.”
“Just wait and see, this duel might be a bit special.”
Between Mr. Question Mark’s fingers appeared an ancient coin, flipping between his fingers, and during this time, the area of the campus he saw began to be covered in black, and the temperature started dropping.
Grass began to wither and decay, turning the playground into a wasteland.
In the sky, a hundred meters above the ground, nooses descended out of thin air, so numerous they could be described as dense.
The lengths of these ropes varied, ranging from 1 to 20 meters from the ground.
Luo Di only glanced at the nearest rope, and his instinct for death was awakened, unconsciously approaching, wanting to insert his head into it.
“Hanging” became his primary need.
The tongue snapped, the brain woke up.
Luo Di immediately came to his senses, decisively pressing his left arm against his eye, constructing a torture device!
A circle of black metal was embedded in the eye area, completely ruining his vision.
Luo Di no longer breathed through his nose but switched to his mouth, intending to maximize the function of his tongue, which Gusto witnessed.
About fifty meters away on a rope, Yu Lu’s body gradually took shape.
She didn’t attack directly but whispered:
“Have you… long since prepared against me, Luo Di?
To actually transform your neck into a structure similar to your left arm, covered in sawteeth, able to even cut my ropes.”
Vision blocked, Luo Di responded based on the direction of the voice:
“After the end of the first four rounds, among the remaining four new students, apart from Sister Yu Lu, no special preparations were needed for the others.
Sister Yu Lu’s death far surpasses mine, and without finding a way, even the most basic confrontation is impossible… I must give it my all.”
Luo Di deliberately slowed his speech to savor the taste of the cold air, discerning the faint scent of corpse on Yu Lu.
Determining the location,
He burst forth with high instantaneous speed again, charging at Yu Lu hanging mid-air.
During the sprint, Luo Di simultaneously overlaid with a cinematic effect.
A round moon appeared in the night space, illuminating every rope and Yu Lu’s body, labeling her as “extras prey,” significantly lowering defense and increasing damage from the murderer’s attack.
Seeing the distance close to ten meters,
Without any body movement from Yu Lu,
The tongue in Luo Di’s mouth became uncontrollable, fiercely flapping.
It was as if Luo Di had made some kind of decision, not dodging but continuing forward… or rather, with the tongue’s fierce thrashing, evasion was already impossible.
Death surpassed Luo Di’s current danger perception, and he was effectively dead when facing Yu Lu.
Luo Di still burst forth with his strongest momentum, wielding the chainsaw blade and slashing, showing the extreme of what he could do now.
A silver-white glow suddenly flashed by.
In that instant, it seemed as if time paused.
The film space Luo Di constructed was cleaved open with a huge gash, the so-called domain instantly destroyed, even the moon appeared cracked, hanged in the night sky.
The blade disintegrated, its internal black metal structure completely severed.
Luo Di was completely frozen, unable to move.
Everything around him turned so cold, he couldn’t feel any sensory feedback from his body, only a sense of solitude.
The reason was simple,
The head was severed,
The head slid along the smooth cut,
Falling heavily to the ground.
The camera zoomed out.
On the rope, Yu Lu was holding a silver-white scythe, a reward she recently received in the deep dungeon, resembling a true Death God.
She originally hadn’t planned to reveal this during the school period,
It was because Luo Di made a request to her, because Luo Di conveyed with his eyes this request, asking her to go all out.
This level of death exceeds far beyond Luo Di’s inherent “undead attribute.”
The beheaded Luo Di showed no signs of healing… this exam had gone wrong.
