Deep in the Living

Chapter 426: Breaking the Seed and Ascending to the Demon
one day ago,

After four days and four nights of killing in the Killing Pit, where he killed fifteen low-level monsters, Rody was carried directly back to the rest area of ​​the Real Death Game by the four sisters.

His body was already tired, but it was the desire to kill that kept him going.

Pituitary Space

The threshold base constructed by zombies has been set up.

Although Rody seemed to be unconscious in the outside world, his spirit had not rested at all. He had now turned into a construction worker, assembling corpses one by one, and turning the gains from the fighting in the past few days into the door he had been pursuing.

These are the monsters that Rody killed himself.

I have gained a deep understanding of their abilities and body structures through actual combat, and have a rough idea of ​​where they will be placed.

But when it comes to actual stacking, there are still many details that need attention.

Rody was completely immersed in building the door and forgot about the time until an unguarded consciousness descended here.

"Rodi, the final level is only an hour away... Wow! Is the door already built? Are you going to start advancing now? Is there not enough time?
No, it's not formed yet, this door seems to be missing something."

The squad leader took a step forward and touched the surface of the door.

She could clearly feel the imperfections in the body through her perception of it. Although the door was basically intact, it was not a whole and there were certain gaps between all the bodies.

"What's missing?"

"Door handle." Rody, who was sitting not far away, responded. He was already drowsy.

This answer made Wu Wen even more confused.

“Door handle?

Why do I feel like the whole door is incomplete... Are you planning to use the door handle as the core, and once this structure is installed, the whole door will be complete?
This is not easy. It requires a high-quality corpse, whose quality needs to be similar to that of the zombies that serve as the threshold.

However, the monsters that can squeeze into the final level must not be bad. It depends on how the rules are arranged at that time.

But... this death challenge is also very important to me."

Wu Wen's words received no response. Luo Di had fallen asleep. This sleep at the conscious level showed that he was completely tired.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep~see you in the finals."

Just as Wu Wen was about to leave the pituitary space to let Rody have a good rest, she suddenly realized something and looked again at the "Gate of Demon Ascension" built with monster corpses.

"Could it be..."

She reached out her arm and inserted it where the door handle should be.

As expected, a perfect fit!

Hahaha~ A burst of laughter echoed in the pituitary space,

Wu Wen burst into laughter. She should have left, but she moved to Luo Di's side and rested his head on her thighs.

Streams of pure physical essence flowed from his fingertips into Rody's body, restoring the physical damage caused by the past four days.

"If you can really do it, it's not impossible for me to be your 'doorknob'... but as it stands, you're not good enough.

Luo Di, you still have a long way to go, there is no need to be so anxious. Let me go up first, and then I will pull you up. "

Wu Wen kissed her forehead and woke her up ten minutes before the show started.

Time returns to now,

The same is the pituitary space,
Rody, who was completely in a killing state with blood and bone fragments on the corners of his mouth, slowly came out of the killing state and his face became calm when he saw the corpse lying in front of him.

It was clearly just a strange corpse of a blonde girl.

But in Luo Di's eyes, Wu Wen's name was engraved, and he even felt that the corpse itself was still smiling at him.

"I'm sorry, monitor... I have to win too. Regardless of the clown's coercion or my own needs, I must advance as quickly as possible. My time is very tight.

I'm sorry for eating you again.
And thank you for letting me eat it.”

All of Rody's actions were not caused by anger, but were his subjective actions. He had already made plans when he met the squad leader.

Having once eaten the squad leader's pituitary gland, he already possessed some of the squad leader's attributes.

In order to construct the extremely important "Gate of Ascension", a high-level, perfect core material that can control all corpses is required.

A squad leader who is proficient in the physical body is an excellent choice.

When the squad leader showed up with an isomorph that was almost identical to the original, Rody had already made his decision. Since the two met alone in the final level, Rody no longer cared about their feelings.

after all,

Before they met, Luo Di had already asked the squad leader whether the death of her clone would lead to the death of her original body. Since the other party's answer was no, he could do it with confidence.

It wasn't just the monitor who refused to open the envelope, but two people did it at the same time.

Snapped!
Grabbing the corpse's ankles,

Dragged towards the "Gate of Demon Ascension".

This imperfect door had already left a gap that fit perfectly for the squad leader. There was no need for adjustment and he could just stuff the body into it.

Two white and soft palms just stretched out from both sides of the door, serving as "door handles".

Everything is ready, no more flaws.

This moment is finally here, Rody has been waiting for too long.

The systems of two different worlds will advance at the same time at this moment, moving together to the next stage and achieving a higher level of unity of opposites.

Snap~ The old spine seemed to sense the coming of this moment, and the joints twisted and made continuous sounds. Huh... Take a deep breath.

Luo Di retreated to the edge of the pituitary space, intending to walk towards the door with his head held high. But after careful consideration, he bent his cervical spine slightly forward and moved his center of gravity forward.

He walked forward with the attitude of a murderer, as if he was going to commit some killing.

Inside the Gate of Ascension,
It seems as if one can hear the majestic sound of hell ringing out.

The corpses that formed the door seemed to be afraid of Rody's arrival and screamed like victims.

Arriving at the door,

Hold the hand that belongs to the squad leader.

At this moment, it seemed as if the squad leader was with him, holding hands and raising the demon together.

Push open the door, step over the threshold...buzz!

There was a strong ringing in my ears.
In a blink of an eye,
Space changes,

This is no longer a pituitary space,
Rody stood on the moon.

The door that should have been behind him also disappeared.
Lonely, deserted, grey, deep space.

There was no crack where Rody was standing, only a huge crater.

Jump into the pit,

Slide to the bottom of the pit.

Reaching out and digging up the soft soil underneath, a dead hand was revealed. It was the hand of the blonde girl.

Continuing to dig the soil, more arms...or more bodies were exposed.

All the "victims" including pseudo-humans, monsters, villains, etc. who were killed by Rody as a "murderer" are buried here.

Not one more, not one less,
A special, bone-like root has connected the bodies together...or rather, the bodies are connected through the spine.

This is an expression of hell.

Hell as a root, some kind of sprout belonging to the corner is about to emerge.

click!
The blonde girl lying on top had her jaw loose and something was growing out of her mouth.

A plant.

A plant that represents advancement.
A scary plant that represents the corner system,
The energy that has been accumulated in the pituitary gland for a long time is released.
Due to the accumulation of strength, the new shoots grew rapidly, and finally stopped after growing more than ten centimeters. They were much longer than those monster shoots that had just reached the corner.

"Is this... my bud?"

The plants that grew were different from what Rody had expected.

It is not a spinal structure.
It's not metal wire.
There is no brain structure either,
There are no obvious tentacles.
It is just an ordinary-looking tree bud, but this tree bud is dark gray all over, without any extra colors.

So ordinary, yet so special.

Even if it's just sprouting,

Rody could also feel a completely different power surging in his body, and even his essence began to change.

It exceeds human limits, yet is fundamentally different from monsters.

If you want to call,

It is the devil.

……

Real Death Game, waiting area.

The surveillance screen was facing Rody who had "finished eating". He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with thick dark grey aura rising from around him.

The arm that was severed by the squad leader grew out like a new sprout, perfect as before, and a leather glove was put on as the palm was formed.

The old ridge that protruded outwards converged back into the flesh, returning to its most original form, concealed by the coat.

The dark coat fits my current body perfectly.
The collar stood upright under the influence of the breath.

He suddenly opened his cloudy eyes and stood up... I don't know if it's because of the angle, but I always feel that Rody's figure has become taller than before.

I headed to the next room before the countdown ended.

The audience in the waiting area also discovered a strange phenomenon: the surveillance footage of Luo Di became different from the other footages.

The difference in texture,

The other images are obviously taken in real time by high-definition cameras.
However, the images on Rody's side have a texture of movies from the 1980s and 1990s, and the images often switch angles, and even deliberately amplify the sound of footsteps.

It seems like I'm really watching a movie.

Just when the audience was watching intently, amazed that Roddy could actually advance to the final level, one of the audience members was vomiting, even vomiting all over the floor with the pistil stuck in his vomit.

Hua Yuan stared at Wu Wen who was not far away.

"Hey! If you two want to flirt, why don't you go get a room... Don't do this in public, it's disgusting. I led Rody to the Killing Pit to replenish most of the corpses, but in the end you still got the advantage.

You deserve to die, Wu Wen!"

To curb the feeling of weakness in the body,
Wu Wen kept her most normal smile, moved to Hua Yuan's side, leaned over and kissed her cheek, whispering into her mind,

"Sister Hua, thank you..."
