Deep in the Living

Chapter 536 Renovation of the Torture Chamber

It's 8 PM, and I'm renting an apartment.

Not only were there metal traps everywhere, but the entire apartment had been altered.

Now that it's already been made public to Meijia, there's no need to hide these abilities anymore.

From inside the tightly locked bedroom door, a hellish glow constantly seeped out, and occasionally a scream could be heard.

The room was no longer the bedroom for two, but had been transformed into a torture chamber-like structure, complete with brain and spine decorations, and the floor had a structure resembling a crescent moon.

This is a special torture chamber constructed by Roddy, exclusively for him. It is not used to torture others, but rather as a reformatory.

As Roddy became a great demon, the torture chamber's abilities also advanced and developed.

Just like Mr. Hawke was able to reform all kinds of criminals inside the torture chamber.

Roddy can also make similar modifications, and compared to the pure pain of the torture chamber, his is more humane.

The current target of the renovation is [Meijia].

Roddy also utilized the system on the other side of the corner to coordinate the transformation, minimizing pain and increasing the success rate of the transformation.

Moreover, Meijia herself is very talented.
After a full day at work, I've adapted to the body's internal traps on my own, and I'm accepting them faster than most people, managing to stay rational throughout the process.

"Hold on... just half an hour longer."

Throughout the process, Roddy maintained a hand-holding relationship. This was his first time performing hellish transformation on someone, and he couldn't guarantee complete success.

Fortunately,

Although Mika reached her limit of endurance many times, she always managed to hold on at crucial moments.

Moreover, the entire process was not interfered with by any other means, and that disgusting woman did not seem to come looking for them.

The special modifications took a full four hours.

Even Luo Di, a great demon, felt somewhat overexerted and was slightly weak.

Clang, clang—the hook hanging from the roof finally came down, and Meijia's suspended body finally fell to the ground.

Her basic appearance hasn't changed much.
The body surface is outlined with some delicate, regular metallic lines, especially at some joints, which seem to allow for disassembly of the body or exposure of the metal.

The internal structure has been completely changed.

All organs are covered with iron-like virgin structures and are intertwined with chains, greatly enhancing the strength and functionality of the internal organs.

Metal wires run through his muscles, greatly increasing his strength and physical defense, and he can also construct metal structures like Roddy.

It is extremely well-made.

When Roddy looked at Mika, he was more admiring a perfect creation that he had made for the first time.

"Roddy, I'm going to cook noodles... I'll start the modifications when I get back, we're starving."

"Ah."

The two returned to the living room, which was full of traps, and ate steaming hot fried egg noodles.

"You're not possessed by a ghost, but rather you're from somewhere else, perhaps even a parallel world? Are you also named Roddy?"

"Yes."

Meijia also started to fantasize: "Your world must be very big and very interesting~ Unlike us, who can only live ordinary lives."

However, I've changed! From now on, I don't have to go to work; I can go out at night to fight crime. Speaking of which, taking money from bad guys shouldn't be a problem, right?

Mika's capacity for acceptance is terrifyingly high; she seems to have forgotten the four hours of agonizing torment and has begun to fantasize about a new life with superpowers.

"Being ordinary is actually quite good."

"Really... By the way! Last night when I wanted to 'do it' with you, I suddenly fell asleep. Was that also your ability?"

"Yes."

"Thanks~ It seems my looks aren't your type. But I am indeed rather average-looking, and my breasts aren't big enough..."

"You are very beautiful, and you look a lot like someone."

"Hmm~ I can already smell what you're saying!" Meijia deliberately moved her chair closer to Luo Di and nudged him lightly with her elbow. "If you have a girlfriend, just say so, or are you already married?"

"She's kind of my girlfriend."

"As expected~ who's prettier, her or me?"

"she."

Meijia's face immediately puffed up. "Tsk! You can't talk at all. My boyfriend can talk much better than you."

But people like you don't need to beat around the bush. Only office workers like me need to be mindful of others' moods every day.

By the way, Roddy, you didn't just come here randomly, you must have a special mission, right? Like that serial killer, do we need to take care of her? I should be able to help now.

"I'll text my boss right now to quit my job, and we'll act together tomorrow." As Meijia sent the message, she activated her newly acquired ability, causing a sharp metal blade to spring from her elbow.

"Pretty much, but things are more dangerous than you think. My purpose in modifying you is not to get your help, but to increase your chances of survival."

Meijia didn't respond immediately. She seemed to understand the meaning behind those words and had thought of something. She whispered:

"Actually... you didn't need to do this at all, right?"

There's no need to go through such a time-consuming and laborious transformation for someone as insignificant as me, and besides, you're clearly weak right now and need to take unnecessary risks.

If I die, you can handle it all by yourself.

This world has nothing to do with you; we were strangers to begin with. Why did you choose to help me? Was it required by a mission?

"Who knows?" Roddy replied simply, then picked up the large bowl and drank all the noodle soup.

"Thank you~ By the way, where are we going to sleep later? There's only one bedroom here, will I need to sleep on the outside?"

“Sleep together, and that person will know our address. Also, from now on, stay as close to me as possible, don’t stray far.”

"Oh."

After eating and drinking their fill, both of them felt sleepy.

Lying on the large bed in the bedroom, although we were covered by the same blanket, our bodies were completely separated, as if an invisible line was running through the middle.

Just as I was about to fall asleep.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
There was a knock on the door at one o'clock in the morning.

Meijia was startled by the loud knocking. Just as she was about to get up, she found that Luo Di had reached out and pressed her down.

"Go to sleep, don't worry about these things... No one can come in, and I've completely renovated this room."

"Ok."

Because no one answered the door, the knocking became more and more intense, and they even started to bang on it.

Meijia is still an ordinary person, and she is somewhat afraid and nervous. She can't even calm her mind, let alone sleep.

She slowly moved her body across the line in the middle of the bed, leaning towards Roddy, and gently took his hand.

"I...I'm a little scared."

"Well, go to sleep."

Roddy reached out and stroked the other's head, and gray energy invaded. In an instant, the other fell into a deep sleep, no longer disturbed by external factors.

Roddy didn't sleep yet, wanting to see just how much trouble the other party would cause.

As soon as the knocking stopped, a sound came from the living room balcony.

Because of the complete house renovation, Roddy was able to see directly into the living room.

The short woman didn't climb over directly; instead, she threw in something that looked like a Molotov cocktail.

Just as the flammable bottle was about to hit the ground, the bear trap instantly destroyed it.

The seemingly normal ground has actually been transformed into a torture chamber structure, absorbing all spilled alcohol and extinguishing any flames instantly.

After throwing several Molotov cocktails without success, he took no further action.

Finally, it was the master bedroom's turn, and the window started to shake.

The ugly, short woman actually climbed up the wall, came to the window, stared wide-eyed at Roddy inside, and revealed her signature malicious smile.

Who knows,

Luo Di neither went out to kill nor made any suspicious moves.

Instead, in front of this woman, he bent down and kissed Yu Meijia's face.

Not only that, Roddy also held Mika tightly with one arm. His other hand slowly rose, making a signature international gesture towards the woman outside the window.

The effect is remarkable,

The woman outside the window immediately stopped laughing, followed by violent shaking of the window, and she even started smashing her head against the glass.

Unfortunately, the seemingly normal glass here has already reached the strength and quality of a torture chamber in hell.

Roddy snapped his fingers, and the blackout curtains on both sides closed automatically via hooks, blocking the light from the inside and outside.

"As expected~ this woman is still trying to lure me into touching her and killing her. I roughly know what's going on. Time to sleep. Tomorrow I can do something more interesting, like thoroughly investigating the so-called movie events and dungeon structure."

Roddy already possessed cinematic abilities, seemingly with an exceptional talent in this area. No longer worried about the outside world, he went straight to sleep.

The banging on the glass continued unabated, clearly indicating that the other party had completely breached their defenses.
