Deep in the Living

Chapter 264 Soldier (Happy New Year)
≮The conscription ceremony has been passed, the body has been matured, and the individual information has been updated≯

≮Lo'di≯
"Prison Stage": Ordinary Spine*
*The molded body is perfectly matched with the spine. The upper limit of spine growth has been opened and it can grow to the next stage. When the growth reaches the limit, it is necessary to find the [Gate of Demon Ascension]*.

*The 'gate' that allows the creatures of Hell to completely transform.

「Spine Type & Quality」: Metal Chainsaw, S-rank*.

*The quality of the spine is evaluated based on energy density, transmission efficiency, hardness and toughness, spine opening effect, growth potential, etc., and is divided into five levels: D, C, B, A, and S.

The spine you possess has reached the highest S-level. It should be noted that the current quality does not represent your future development. Embracing war and finding the door to ascend to the devil are the keys to growth.

"War Attitude": Killing

Physical state: Already cast*
*The entire casting process went very smoothly, and the factory gave it an "excellent" seal evaluation. You have now registered as a soldier, and your individual image has been entered into the Hive Archives. A recruiting specialist will contact you later.

"Residence": Chaos Hive - Middle Nest, 1901th Lumbar Vertebra, th Floor, B, Rehong Street*
* You have obtained the long-term residence right in the Middle Nest area. This house will be provided to you for long-term use without paying any rent. During the non-conscious projection period, the physical body can be stored here.

*You are now a citizen of the Hive City. Your activities are limited to the Middle Hive (lumbar spine) and Lower Hive (coccygeal spine). You are prohibited from going to the Upper Hive (thoracic spine) and the spire (cervical spine) without permission.

*Common knowledge about hive life and subsequent service arrangements will still be conveyed by the recruitment specialists.

[Remarks]: It was detected that there is some unknown extraterritorial structure in the individual's brain structure, which is related to the pituitary gland.

……

Rody, who is in the Spine Base Camp, can receive relevant information through his own spine, including his current status information.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He wasn't laughing because he had officially landed in the real hell, nor was he laughing because he had safely passed the maturation of his body.

But he was finally able to sleep, and the tightness deep in his heart completely dissipated.

His knot has been untied, and now he needs to focus on the present and move towards a higher level.

Since he could use the corner system to gain a foothold in the real hell and gain an advantage, he could also use the hell system to explore the corners.

“I need to grow faster and try to reach the next level of the spine and the so-called [Gate of Demon Ascension] before heading to the corner.

Of course, I can't rush. I need to adapt to life here first. According to the style of the Spinemen, I should be captured and sent to fight soon."

Rody subconsciously began to look for a toothbrush on the sink.

But there was no toothbrush here, only a strange glass bottle filled with long, thin brown live worms.

On the back of the bottle was written in hellish script: "Cleaning Tooth Worms"

"How to use: Place a certain number of tooth worms into your mouth according to the size of your mouth. They will quickly eat the residue between your teeth and grow fully in the process, becoming your appetizer breakfast or bedtime snack."

Roddy tried to put a tooth worm into his mouth. The slender worm body, which was not very active, became active once it entered the oral environment.

Unfortunately, Rody hasn't eaten anything since he came to the real hell, and his mouth is clean.

The tooth worm quickly starved to death in Rody's mouth and was spit into the sink by Rody.

"It doesn't seem to be very useful, a toothbrush is better."

Rodin looked at the toilet next to him out of curiosity. Although he wanted to give it a try, unfortunately his body did not have any excess products to discharge.

Thinking of this, hunger quickly came over him and he quickly started searching the house.

Unfortunately, there was nothing to eat in the house, not even a bottle of water. However, Luo Di didn't feel thirsty, just hungry.

Just as he was about to go out to find food.

Knock, knock, knock! There's knock on the door.

Rody roughly guessed who was coming. It would be fine to arrange for him to go to the Hell Legion now. He just needed to be able to eat.

As for training or going to the battlefield, Luo Di didn't care. He just wanted to improve himself quickly. As long as he could eat enough now, he would be ready for war.

open the door.

There was no expected red-skinned, horned demon standing outside the door, holding up so-called recruitment slogans.

There was not even a single person outside the door.

Some are just a small spine, about six segments long, and fly in the air by means of wing-like growths.

The top of the spine is a hollow structure, and there seems to be some kind of nerve threads moving inside, and even chewing structures similar to teeth can be seen.

A sharp sound came from inside.

"Dear foreign apostle, Mr. Luo Di, hello! I am the recruitment specialist, number #5179, responsible for your recruitment work. We may have a long time to spend together.

Can I come in and talk?
As you might be bothered by hunger, I made a special trip downstairs to buy a hot pie. ”

The spine swung its tail, revealing a fragrant takeout bag.

"Please come in."

Dining table indoors.

Luo Di was biting into a pie that was 100 degrees Celsius in temperature. The juices were splattering and the meat was fragrant. Although it was unclear what kind of creature the meat was from, it tasted better than any meat Luo Di had ever eaten.

As for the so-called conscription commissioner, he was standing across the table in an upright posture with his wings folded.

"I knew you would like it. This is the best-selling [Hot Pig Pie] downstairs."

When Rody had finished the basin-sized pie, he also let out a hot burp with steam.

"When are we going to join the war?"

After eating his fill, Rody was ready for war and could set off at any time.

Unexpectedly, the spine flapped one of its wings gently, as if to signal Luo Di not to panic, "You look so anxious, but it's true~ It's because you love war that you were chosen by the spine.

However, excellent soldiers are not there to fill in the gaps, and there is no point in rashly going onto the battlefield.

The so-called war does not mean that we are fighting all the time. Pre-war preparation is also a very important link.

Didn't I just say that I am a recruiter specifically for you and will be with you for a long time?

You are an apostle from outside, you know nothing about the real hell, and you don't know the rules and living requirements of the Chaos Hive. I will lead you to develop a basic understanding of the Spine and a general understanding of this Chaos Hive.

Let you gradually adapt to the life in hell on the spiritual level, integrate into this place, and truly become one of us.

We just need to rush to the conscription ground today, and we don't need to directly participate in the war, but we need to undergo a [service assessment].

It is used to further determine your war position, see which legion you are suitable to join, and maximize your Spine potential. "

"Ok."

"If you have nothing else to do now, come downstairs with me. The Chaos Hive is the largest city in the real hell, and it should be very different from the world you live in.

At least take you to buy some clothes first. If you don't wear anything, it will seem uncivilized. After all, you are already a formal soldier."

After the other party said this, Luo Di realized that he was naked.

Because all the attention is focused on the new body and the desire for food, the thought of clothes is forgotten.

"Wait for me a moment, I have clothes, I just didn't bring them with me."

The spine expressed doubt through the changes in the wings, “Bring it over?

You are an apostle from outside the region who came here through the projection of consciousness. You can’t project something like [clothing] which is inanimate. Only something with consciousness can do that.”

"Hold on."

After his body was mature, Rody could clearly feel and control the so-called [Consciousness Projection].

He immediately cut off the connection to the projection, and the gray-haired body fell onto the dining table with dilated pupils.

Rody's ego consciousness has returned to the deep cell of the border town prison.

Ps: I wish you all a happy new year and a prosperous Year of the Snake! Ah Fei has returned to her hometown and plans to rest for three days. I will take little Ah Fei to have a good time in her hometown because I haven't been able to spend time with her for a long time because I was writing a book. Thank you for your support.

See you on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when Mr. Di’s journey to hell will continue.
