Deep in the Living

Chapter 153 Interview
Roddy clearly heard the sound of flesh exploding, but when he walked into the ceremony room, he did not see any related scenes inside.

Not only that,

The ceremony room, which was originally without any decoration and covered with mud, also changed. It became a structure similar to the hall next door, with white floor tiles all over the floor, without a single stain of blood.

There are two chairs facing each other in front of the fireplace.

It's more like an interview than an assessment.

When Rody entered the room, he did not call his grandmother, but maintained Mr. D's characteristic of not talking much and just nodded in the direction of his grandmother.

After seeing his grandmother's silhouette beneath the hood seeming to beckon, Rody walked straight to the chair offered to him.

As soon as I sat down,

The chair looks normal in size but it seems to be getting bigger.

Or maybe Rody himself is shrinking,
Until his body seemed to be completely trapped in it, as if he was imprisoned on a platform.

The grandmother sitting opposite became even larger, completely blocking the view, and the oppressive feeling of the giant was suffocating.

Behind the hood curtain,

When I looked at the outline of my grandmother's body again,
It seemed that it was no longer a human, but an indescribable pure monster...

The emotion called "fear" began to spread in Rody's body.

however,
Rody's obsession with the murderer was beyond imagination. Just feeling a little fear spreading in his body made him feel strong rejection and disgust.

The emotion of fear is never allowed to appear in him.
The eyes beneath the mask immediately became bloodshot, with red veins penetrating the eyes.

The fear in my body is being wiped out bit by bit.

The oppressive feeling from my grandmother and the abnormal environment gradually disappeared.

Buzz! There was a tinnitus, and everything became normal.

Rody was sitting as a guest, and the grandmother sitting opposite him was simply oversized, and all that could be seen through the hood curtain was a graceful silhouette.

Mature and rich words came out from under the hood.

“I never thought that Isabella, the granddaughter I once least expected, would find such a good partner like you.

This is also good. If you can achieve a high level of compatibility with her, perhaps Isabella can reach a higher level, and you can also get a good improvement.

I just noticed that she has made significant progress this year and has basically caught up with her sisters.

However, before I officially accept you, I need to ask you one last question."

Although my grandmother said this, she still did not ask the question.

While Rody was waiting for the question,

The hood curtain in front of my grandmother was slowly lifted.

An arm as white as snow stretched out.

It's exactly the arm of a human female.

No abnormalities can be seen at the moment.

But as the arm gradually stretched out and approached Rody, a strange atmosphere also rose.

The seats between the two people were about three meters apart.

While the grandmother remained sitting still, the arm continued to stretch out, and finally stopped in front of Rody.

It seems that this distance is not the limit of the arm's extension.

"Don't be nervous, it's just one question."

Open your palms,

The huge palm was just enough to hold Rody's entire face.
Palms close together,

Although Rody was wearing a mask, his grandmother's palm penetrated his skin easily as if it were liquid and directly pinched the surface of his skin.

It even felt like this hand could continue to penetrate the skin and skull and pinch the brain inside.

that's it,
Keeping her face clenched, the grandmother threw out one last question, a question that would determine whether Rody could be recognized by the sisterhood as an official partner.

“Tell me, do you have any other purpose for contacting Isabella besides becoming her [companion]? Or do you have another purpose for the sisterhood?

Just answer yes or no.”

Rody subconsciously wanted to answer "no".

After all, the monitor had already set up a disguise for his brain. Assuming that the grandmother didn't see through it, he would be a pure character who was completely loyal to Isabella and had no other purpose.

However, the words he was about to say were instinctively stopped by his tongue. His intuition told Rody that if he denied it directly, he would most likely be exposed and his brain would be crushed in an instant.

Because of my hesitation now, I have missed the best time to answer. No matter what answer I give later, it will probably arouse my grandmother's suspicion.

How to do?
What exactly should we do to break the deadlock?

Is the answer yes or no?
A lot of distracting thoughts were swirling in her mind, and it seemed that her grandmother was about to reach the limit of her patience.

despair!
The tongue sensed the deadly danger and slapped the inside of the mouth with brute force.

The crisp sound of the tongue echoed between the cranial cavity, slightly vibrating the brain tissue, calming Roddy down. He remembered the relevant teachings of Mr. Hawke and decided to go all out.

"Have."

The grandmother was somewhat surprised by the answer, and the palms that were pinching Rody's face relaxed a little.

"No wonder you've been holding it in for so long. So you really have another purpose? Tell me."

Rody opened his mouth under the mask as wide as possible, the mouth pierced by multiple hooks, so that the pain could spread across his brain as much as possible and immerse himself in the agony.

"Pain... The reason why I was willing to accept Isabella's invitation, besides the relationship between a man and a woman, was because I wanted to gain more pain through her."

Grandma looked at the design of the mouth of the mask and felt the pain that Rody's brain was in. She also became slightly interested.
"Pain? Interesting.

I can feel that your body really seems to enjoy the pain.

This is the first time I meet a male human like you. If you know a lot about pain, you should also know how to inflict pain on others, right?

How about letting me taste it? Try to inflict pain on this arm of mine!
If it's interesting, we can go directly to the banquet hall to prepare for today's dinner. If I can't feel any pain at all, it means you are deceiving me, and the consequences will be very serious. "

"Is it okay to do anything?"

"You can do anything. You can chop it off or break it, but you won't use this kind of minimal traumatic pain, will you? I hope you won't let me down. Come here!"

The hand that was holding Rody's head slowly retracted and shrank back to the size of a normal arm.

Only his forearms were exposed outside the hat curtain, and he gently hooked his fingers towards Rody standing opposite him.

Now that the most difficult question-and-answer session was over, Roddy was no longer nervous.

He complied with his grandmother's request, stood up and walked closer, then took the other person's hand in a very gentlemanly manner.

Giving pain is a rather troublesome thing.
After all, Rody is in disguise now and cannot use any hell abilities, including the left arm of the torture chamber.

We can only use other means to create "pain".

Rody would definitely not have been able to do this a week ago.
Unfortunately, he had just finished four days of almost sleepless "painful training" with Mr. Hawke.

Not only did Roddy gain nutrition from it, but he also learned some professional skills from Hawke that could bring instantaneous severe pain.

These techniques were supposed to be used on Rody himself, to temporarily curb his subconscious impulse to kill, thereby closing off his connection with the battlefield of hell.

This technique does not completely require hellish abilities, Rodion's right hand with a pituitary gland can also do it.

Swish!
The sharp nails quickly pierced the back of my grandmother's hand.

Hmm? Grandma was a little disappointed. This level of pain was not even a tickle, but the other party had not finished yet, so she waited patiently.

In her opinion, no matter how powerful a human being is, at most he can only cause her a little pain, and being able to bite her is enough.

next second.

She felt that the other person's fingers seemed to have become a little different, like two flexible snakes drilling into the wound on the back of her hand, becoming thinner and deeper.

"Oh, a demon?"

When my grandmother was curious,
The two slender and soft fingers pinched a special tendon between the metacarpal bones, which happened to be a specific acupuncture point.

As the fingers squeezed regularly, my grandmother's attention gradually focused, as if she was having a comfortable subcutaneous massage. The pain was only a little, but it was more of a feeling of comfort.

Just as she was gradually beginning to enjoy this special massage.

Luo Di's eyes changed, and he exerted all his strength! He pinched the tendons and pulled them outwards!
Swish!
Skin tears,

The tendons and veins buried in the flesh, in the bone joints, and under the skin were pulled out by the roots, reaching the shoulders.

The original feeling of comfort was instantly twisted 180 degrees into an extreme pain.

All the pain burst out at this moment...

【Banquet Hall】

The sisters who were preparing the dishes faintly heard a strange moaning sound. They didn't know where it came from and couldn't tell the source.
