Deep in the Living

Chapter 294 Calling
≮Hell's Wanted-Corleone≯
[Introduction]: The dark crawling Corleone, in order to save his own life on the battlefield he killed directly and sucked the spinal cord of his comrades. Afterwards he was discovered and was permanently exiled, and his spine was dyed gray.

There was no news for the next three years.

Until last year, some trade worms* that came from the dark side of hell by ship were killed shortly after leaving the Umbilical Port, their cargo was stolen, and their heads and body skin were completely peeled off.

Due to serious violation of the rules of Hell, a wanted order was issued in the Sin Room of the Grand Monastery.

[Hell Level]: On the eve of demon ascension (it seems that the door has been built)
[Spine type and quality]: Fluid dragon spine, S-level.

[Main activity area]: Coastal area (in plain sight), its main killing target is the evil individuals - insects - that leave from the Umbilical Port.

[Wanted Order Restriction]: Only demons between the maturity of hell creatures and the level of demons can accept the wanted order, and no more than three people are allowed to accept it. Those who are above the level are not allowed to interfere in this matter, otherwise they will be deducted several times the hell contribution and given a serious warning.

[Reward Requirements]: Kill Corleone and throw part of his body into any Hell Rift to gain Medium Hell Contribution.

……

The innkeeper stroked his fat chin and looked at the wanted poster in front of him.

"Corleone! If I knew the news, I would have sold it for money long ago.

Now the port is full of notices about this guy. Even if there is no formal wanted order issued by your prologue group, we already have a reward for this guy.

Speaking of which, this guy is also quite amazing.

The spine guys are usually good at frontal combat, but this guy is more insidious than those bugs. He can hide in invisible places and attack passing bugs, and he almost always finishes the fight quickly without being exposed.

Sorry, I am not able to take the monastery's coins.

Do you still want to stay in the hotel? Even monks need to pay normal fees when they come to Umbilical Harbor. I hope you can find this wanted criminal as soon as possible."

"This is the cleanest suite you have here. How long will this silver coin last?"

"Seven days."

"make a deal."

The boss slipped the silver coin into his hand.

He then squeezed his belly hard, and could see something rising up his throat.

Gulp! A pus-stained ball of stone vomited into the palm of his hand, and then wiped it clean with the mildew-stained tablecloth on the counter.

This is the key.

Just feed this ball of stuff to the "door" and the guest room will open.

The living door will also absorb the pheromones of the person who placed the door, and will remember and automatically open the door before checking out.

This one-bedroom suite is considered luxurious in Umbilical Harbor.

Of course, although it looks like a B&B suite in the human world, it is actually quite different.

You need to be especially careful with water-related equipment, as you have no idea what the liquid flowing out of the tap may contain, and it may not even be water at all.

"Not bad... not too dirty."

Agatha had already placed her mount in the inn's own mount room, and she sat down on the soft big bed.

It looks like a normal Simmons bed.
In fact, it is made up of a highly flexible tumor, which is much softer and fits better than a Simmons mattress. As long as you can accept it psychologically, your sleep quality will definitely be very high.

As for the bedding, it is a kind of specially treated hyperplastic leather, which is soft and warm.

Luo Di's thoughts were still on the wanted poster he had just displayed, and he questioned its contents:
“Agatha, why do I feel that this wanted order is a bit strange… The so-called Hell Wanted Order does not seem to want to kill the criminal directly, and even to some extent is helping him to ascend to the level of a demon.

If he is truly an unforgivable sinner, just let the strong wipe him out."

"You are right~ This is the real hell or the will of hell.

The rules set by the world are fundamentally intended to ensure the stable growth of Hell.

Wanted criminals are those who threaten the ecology of Hell, but if their own value is greater than the threat they bring, Hell will give them a chance. This wanted order is two-way.

If we can hunt him down, we will give a high reward.

If the wanted criminal can completely kill the demons of the same level that come to hunt him, thereby completing his special demon upgrade, the wanted order will be cancelled.

The Spine will also receive the news, and will even arrange for personnel to come and welcome the return of the Great Demon, and his exiled status will be completely cleared."

"In order to maintain relative stability in the world, is everything done for the purpose of cultivating strong people?"

"Yes, this is the fundamental reason why the real hell can continue to grow and invade other worlds.

As long as we can create a top-level demon king, it doesn’t matter if hundreds of millions or even billions of demons die.”

Luo Di nodded and continued to talk about the wanted order: "Well, how do we usually investigate? In addition to providing individual intelligence and the approximate activity area, does the wanted order have any other uses?"

“That’s all the information we can give you, and we’ll need to investigate on our own from now on.

Later, I will go directly to the administrator of Umbilical Harbor as a monk to obtain the most direct information. You can just follow me. The identity of a monk is very useful. "

"Hmm..." Rody came to the balcony of the guest room and looked at the lighthouse that was inserted on the edge of the harbor and reached into the sky.

"I want to go to the lighthouse and take a look... The lighthouse at the top seems to be related to the Spine Man. Maybe there will be clues there."

"Alright, let's split up tomorrow morning and meet up here when we get any news. That's all for today. Traveling is really tiring. Once I lie down, I don't want to move."

In order to reach Umbilical Port one day earlier, the two men skipped a rest stop and rode for a full twenty hours.

Agatha fell back on the large bed specially made for the tumor patient. Her body was completely out of control and she fell asleep immediately. Heavy snoring continued to be heard from the metal tube around her neck.

Of course, she deliberately fell on one side of the big bed, leaving about one-third of the space empty.

Rody did not disturb the other party and prepared to fall asleep on the sofa in the living room.

Cack! The crow that had landed on the back of the sofa immediately turned into a dark pillow filled with feathers, soft and conducive to sleep.

It's really sleepy.

Just as Rody lay down to sleep,

Because the curtains were not drawn, and he was sleeping in a position where he could see the lighthouse outside the window.

The huge eyeball rotating in the lamp room was emitting hot light, as if it was helping the ships crossing the sea to guide a safe route.

Perhaps it is because of my concern for the lighthouse that when I close my eyes I always feel that there is light shining towards me.

In desperation, he had to get up and close the curtains.

As Rody walked towards the window and reached out to pull the curtains, buzz! The light that was supposed to guide the ship suddenly shifted over.

Through the window, it shines on Rody.

The scorching light seemed to penetrate the skull, and the field of vision was occupied by the strong light, making it impossible to see anything else. It seemed that the eyeballs began to boil and evaporate under such illumination.

hum!
After a strong tinnitus, the bright light disappeared.

Under the night,

The rolling waves caress the rocks like tentacles.

Luo Di was no longer in the suite, nor in the bustling city. Instead, he was standing under the lighthouse at the edge of the city, where no one was approaching.

The rotting door at the base of the lighthouse had been left wide open.

There seemed to be a voice calling him from deep within.
My back also started to feel hot.
