Chapter 305 The Call from the Corner

Underground secret room.

Rody was sitting cross-legged in the corner. An instrument made up of dozens of skulls was already on his head, and some special connection had been achieved.

It is obvious that this is not the instrument created by Rody, but there is no rejection after wearing it.

Agatha observed the whole process intently, and occasionally she could see a gray color flowing among the instruments. It seemed that this color was coordinating Roddy and the equipment.

“Sure enough…Roddy’s corner system is highly adaptable. This brain-related equipment happens to match his pituitary gland and can adapt faster.

According to the instructions on the manuscript,
What Corleone wants to achieve is a kind of brain-ascension, using the gate as a means to shift the focus of body development from the spine to the brain, just like the Eye Demon King who developed collateral characteristics among the Spinal Cords.

If successful, most of his original body will be discarded.

Use the brain to reconstruct a completely new body.

This door was of a very high standard, far superior to the door that the hotel rats had built using the corpses of the guests. Rody was only entering as an observer, and perhaps he could gain something.

Moreover, the path that Rody is taking on this journey is indeed related to the brain.”

Seeing that the situation was basically stable, Agatha was about to lean against the wall to take a rest... Buzz! A sense of abnormality suddenly came over her, and she subconsciously picked up the iron rod and locked the skull device.

But she was not impulsive and did not destroy it directly. Instead, she came to Rody's side carefully.

Crouch down.

Take off Rody's monk's leather clothes,

I saw that Rody's back was actually squirming, and some of his muscles even became similar to Corleone's, showing the structure of brain grooves.

I vaguely felt that Rody's aura was changing, gradually becoming like Corleone...it seemed as if his body was being taken over by another soul.

Just as Agatha was thinking about whether to terminate this process,
A gray color spread across the back.
Some kind of metal nerve also grew out from the spine and quickly spread throughout the back.

Under the suppression of this metal nerve, the back muscles quickly returned to normal, and Roddy's overall condition also stabilized.

Agatha was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
Although she had witnessed Rody's baptism ceremony, she did not know what happened between him and the Pope.

"Isn't this the Pope's neural structure? How can Rody express it? Although it is far from the nerves of the cathedral, such neural expression can never be wrong.

Did anything happen in the cathedral before?"

Before Agatha could recover from the metal nerve incident.

The mutation happened again.

A large number of gray tentacles suddenly emerged from Rody's face, connecting to the skull device. Some strange "connection" was forming, and it could even be felt that these tentacles seemed to be sucking the essence of the skull in reverse.

【Five minutes ago】

Rody sat cross-legged, holding the skull at the front end of the device with both hands, sniffing the familiar smell of brain.

The brain tissue connected between the skull bones is preserved by the periosteum and does not deteriorate at all.

Although these are the brains of insects, at least the smell is not much different from that in a barbecue restaurant. In fact, there is a certain taste that makes Roddy even more fascinated.

Do not know why,

When Rody held the skull and smelled the odor, he felt hungry even though he was full. This hunger did not come from his stomach but came from deep in his brain.

If he didn't know how to use this thing, Rody would probably roast it and eat it on the spot, following the local customs and not being so particular.

Hold back your hunger and lift the skull above your head.

Just as Rody took a deep breath and prepared himself, a familiar voice, a voice that did not belong to hell, suddenly echoed in his mind.

≮Put it on…Put it on…≯
"A sound in the corner?"

The mature pituitary seed in Roddy's brain, which can only germinate and enter the next stage deep in the corner, is actually strongly craving the current wearing behavior.

In that case,

click!
The skull is buckled on the head.

The device takes effect.

Buzz~ After a burst of tinnitus, the scene in front of Rody had completely changed, even the touch had become different.

Looking down, he found that he was sitting in a shallow pool of water, just high enough to cover Roddy's ankles. The so-called water was actually cerebrospinal fluid.

The [door] that Rody wanted to spy on and refer to,
Standing in the middle of the water.

The specifications were far inferior to the door that the rats had used to pile up corpses.

This is just an ordinary door, the same size as the door of Luodi's home and classroom that he used to open every day. However, the material of this door is pure brain, the brain of insects, or the brain of drama.

And the construction method is quite particular.
It can be seen that this is a masterpiece that Corleone spent seven years on. The door frame, door leaf, and door lock are all made up of different brains, meticulously crafted, without a single redundant part. When Roddy saw this door, an extremely strong impulse of desire spread through his brain.

This is completely different from the gate where the bodies were piled up before.

The desire to enter the door increased more than tenfold.

Maybe by passing through this door he can complete his magic upgrade ahead of time.

Perhaps by passing through this door, his pituitary gland can germinate in advance in non-corner areas,
Perhaps by passing through this door he would be one step closer to fulfilling his promise with the squad leader.
Perhaps by passing through this door he would be able to kill the monster in the corner.

A strong desire urged Rody to step closer to this nearly perfect forehead.
Reach out and hold the delicate, warm and slippery door handle.

The moment it touches the door,
A more intuitive and profound influence was transmitted directly to Rody's brain.

It seems that Corleone has stored part of his consciousness inside the door, and any outsider who comes into contact with it will have their brain invaded and their consciousness taken over.

This was Corleone's final resort. He considered the worst possible outcome, even if his residence was exposed and he was killed. As long as the person who killed him had greed in his heart and chose to wear the device skull, it would trigger the consciousness possession.

So much so that Rody's back muscles began to gradually express a brain groove structure similar to Corleone's.

"Did you kill my external entity?
However, you are so greedy that you even dare to use my equipment... Your body is actually a dual system! Great, with your body, I may be able to reach a higher level.

Hmm? What kind of structure is this? "

Corleone's remaining consciousness reached the brain area, and he soon discovered the pituitary gland that had a lunar structure.

Since his original body is dead,

Now Corleone only had one chance, and he dared not hesitate at all. If someone outside destroyed the equipment, his remaining consciousness would be completely dead.

There is no time to think about the strange pituitary gland in front of me, the possession begins.

hum!
When Corleone's remaining consciousness came into contact with the pituitary gland,
The world is spinning,

He felt as if his consciousness was sucked into a whirlpool and sank to a very deep area. When his consciousness stabilized, he had no feeling of successfully possessing another body.

It's more like being projected to a completely unknown and distant place.

"What are you doing to me!?"

Before my eyes was a narrow and dark passage, extremely cold and gloomy, and it didn't look like hell at all.

He could vaguely see a red balloon floating out at the corner of the passage ahead, and then gradually approaching him.

Corleone had never seen a balloon before and thought it was some kind of dangerous floating object, so he quickly popped it.

The moment you touch the balloon.

Snapped!
The crisp and loud explosion echoed in the passage, louder than expected, even forcing Corleone to cover his ears.

The sound of the balloon exploding spread infinitely deep into the air, as if notifying someone.

follow closely,

A strange and rapid sound of footsteps was heard. The other party seemed to be wearing some kind of rubber shoes, which stuck to the ground and made strange noises with every step.

Corleone sensed danger, and a dragon spine quickly formed behind him.

He stared at the dark passage in front of him, ready to decapitate at any time. Even if he had no weapon, he could achieve a similar effect with his dragon scale-covered hand knife.

however,
The strange footsteps suddenly stopped at the corner, and the body was never revealed.

Tick ​​tick tick~
The sound of the second hand turning could be heard, and time passed by second by second.

When Corleone focused all his attention on the corner,

A pair of hands reached out from the darkness behind him.

These hands are wearing clean white gloves.
Hanging silently above his shoulders... Clap! Suddenly, there were two claps in succession.

The sudden fright made Corleone's body straighten up, and then he turned back suddenly.

When he turned his head,

The most primitive emotion quickly filled Corleone's heart. He even gave up the most basic desire to survive, but his fighting instinct as a Spine wanted to resist.

Beheading...

The knife stopped in the air just after it was swung out.

click!
Bit off half of the body in one bite.

As he chewed, a strange laugh echoed through the passage.
