Deep in the Living

Chapter 624 Spinal Cord Slaughter

Roddy has already made contact with Oculus, and the next few days will likely be filled with endless killing.

"Squad leader, would you like to come with me to the Chaos Nest City?"

However, Wu Wen had already made contact with another person earlier, saying, "Let's meet here in a week, okay? I'm going to do a special experiment with Dean David, which will probably only take a few days."

"Are you going to accept a hellish system? Accept a mindset of drama?"

Roddy still needs to be somewhat concerned, since Wu Wen is neither human nor a "Connector" in general.

Her connection to hell is simply because Roddy once swallowed her pituitary gland, allowing her to be reborn through Mr. Hawke's methods.

If you accept the Hell system as a monster, there is a high chance of problems.

"Anyway, you don't need to worry. I will take good care of my health. In the face of a crisis, if I don't make some special changes, I might not even have the chance to choose death."

"Wouldn't it be better to take some risks now, so that we might have even the slightest chance of gaining the upper hand?"

"Can it be done in a week?"

"Yes, I can, and maybe I can even be faster."

During their conversation, David's enormous abdomen suddenly split open completely. Inside, there was neither fat nor internal organs.

Instead, it is a mysterious body cavity covered by a curtain, and no one knows what is inside it.

It seems that Wu Wen is heading to a place that is not the capital of the evil drama, but a deeper level, a secret area of ​​the evil drama that even Luo Di does not know about.

Wu Wen had only waved goodbye, but after thinking about it, she took the initiative to step forward and touch the other person with her slightly cool lips.

"See you in a week."

"Ah."

Wu Wen turned back and took the initiative to lift the curtain between David's abdomen. She could see that behind the curtain was a fleshy staircase made of large intestine, leading to the unknown.

David seems to have signed an interesting agreement with Wu Wen, which has temporarily curbed his internet addiction, and he has also stepped onto the steps in his abdomen and walked down together.

As for his physical body, it disappeared rapidly, like a planet collapsing.

Roddy was still somewhat uneasy, after all, he had been in contact with David for so long and had never seen this secret passage inside his body.

"Senior Hawke, this abdominal staircase doesn't seem to lead to the capital of the evil play, does it?"

"The path to David's personal kingdom, or what is known as the 'private theater'."

Any demon that reaches our level has already built its own personal kingdom. It's just that the kingdom manifests differently; most of them reside within the body.

My kingdom was granted special privileges by the will of hell, forming this "torture chamber" located on the border of hell. It is a special type of kingdom that is set up outside the main kingdom.

"Roddy, can you see your kingdom?"

"I see it! It's connected to my corner system. At present, we can only see the general outline on the moon. We don't know exactly what it looks like."

"The outline of the kingdom can be seen in one or two years, while most demons never see it in their entire lives."

Moreover, once your kingdom is fully realized, the will of Hell will immediately grant you relevant external privileges, allowing your kingdom to take root in the soil of Hell and establish a completely new system.

So… whatever you do, don't die! Just like Oculus said, minimize direct contact with those outside the realm.”

"Ok."

"Alright, hurry up and head to the Nest City. Try to improve your skills through the Spinewalkers' primal killings and get what you want."

Oculus has already erected a special lighthouse.

A lighthouse structure made entirely of eyeballs, with the topmost "lighthouse" corresponding to its main eyeball structure.

The door at the base of the lighthouse was already open, and the scraping sound beckoned Roddy to come over.

As Roddy enters the lighthouse, with each step he takes, his body structure begins to disintegrate under the gaze of countless eyes, being absorbed by the lighthouse in the form of microscopic crystals.

When his physical body completely disintegrated,
The lamp room is lit.

A beam of light, unaffected by any loss, shot out from the main eyeball, swiftly traversing the Hell Continent, crossing the walls of the Chaos Nest City, and landing in the Upper Vertebrae region.

The area irradiated by the beam of light quickly precipitates a crystalline structure, forming the body of Roddy.

follow closely,

Oculus's true form was also fully projected over.

Its entire body was covered in tattered ash rags, which were filled with countless eyeballs. Even the most basic act of walking was accomplished by rolling the eyeballs at the bottom.

Under the hood,

The countless eyeballs rubbed against each other, producing a sound similar to that of a young man:

"Spinal Cord Killing" is a high-class entertainment activity within the aristocratic circle. It is also a special competition for selecting top-tier demons, and it is one-on-one combat that you are relatively good at.

The Great Demon cannot register on his own; he must be recommended by the nobles and undergo a rigorous review.

Before the killing begins, a portion of the core spinal cord from both participants needs to be extracted.

The organizers will construct the most suitable scenario based on the characteristics of the two spinal cord samples, which also means that you will use the spinal cord as collateral to engage in this battle.

The winner will have the right to control the loser's spinal cord, and special straws will be distributed on site.

If you can win five consecutive matches, the Treasury of the Dead will open to you. At the same time, you will also gain a certain status within the Spine Clan.

However, Roddy, you've already been pre-selected by the Hellish consciousness as a candidate for the new Demon King. Hurry up and seize this opportunity before it's too late, or you'll miss out on the chance to participate later.

"Senior, the way you're saying that makes it sound like you're siding with outsiders."

"The strong rule. Whoever is strong, I will follow."

If you can surpass the Overlord, I will also choose to abandon my status as a Spine, even though I am now a member of the Supreme Council.

Let's see how you perform today~ We'll schedule one session a day, and it'll be done in five days.

Of course, if you lose a battle, you will die here; if you are seriously wounded, you will need more time to recover. Whether you can finish this quickly depends on your skills.

Roddy stretched his arms slightly and tugged at his metal chin. "I'm in top condition right now, so I can just go."

The eyeballs rubbed together again, making a sound: "Don't you say you don't have a weapon? Should I find you a temporary one?"

"I have another stick, that should be enough."

"Then let me take a good look at you, this outsider chosen by the will of hell, and see just how special you are."

Don't let me down, you're the great demon I personally recommended.

……

A secret building constructed from the periosteum of the spine sits at a street intersection.

The servants at the door had already sensed the gazes on them and realized the arrival of an important person. "Lord Oculus, it's been a long time since we've seen you here."

This must be the participant you recommended. How would you like us to make arrangements?

"Start the spinal examination now, forcefully insert it into the most recent match, and say that it is a talent I personally recommended. No matter what kind of opponent, it can be arranged. The sooner the better."

"No problem, please follow me, great demon."

Roddy was quickly taken to the laboratory, where an oversized syringe was inserted into his back, followed by the extraction of a tube of gray spinal fluid.

"Please wait a moment. We have already put you in the queue for the most recent match. We just need to wait for your spinal fluid analysis to be completed before we can start creating the scene."

There's also free spinal broth available over there.

"No need, I'll just wait here."

After the staff completed the analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid, they obtained a set of strange parameters that had never been seen before.

The next step is to mix the spinal fluids of both competitors and create the scene based on the properties of the mixed spinal fluid.

But then, something strange happened.

The other great demon's spinal cord was in a magma state, extremely hot, and highly aggressive.

However, when the two types of spinal fluid mix, Roddy's gray spinal cord almost instantly devours the other, leaving no residue behind.

"Mr. Roddy, the scene here is complete, you may enter. There are no rules or restrictions here; entering means the killing begins."

The game will only end if one of the parties dies or becomes completely incapacitated.

"Ok."

"Excuse me, do you not have any bio-armor or hell weapons here?"

"I will use it when needed."

Roddy walked to the end of the entrance passage, pushed open the door, and was quite surprised by the scene before him.

"This scene is indeed very realistic..."

Before him stood Roddy's most familiar high school classroom.
That was the area where he first made contact with real hell.
However, in order to better depict the carnage, the classroom area was expanded tenfold, and some pillars were added here.

Roddy stood at the back of the classroom.

The opponent stood on the podium.

A werewolf-like beast-like demon, whose normal form is over five meters long.

His entire body was inlaid with different styles of metal plates, each painted with different metal symbols.

These metal partitions, bearing different symbols, were all taken from the great demon he killed.

He cut off the armor bearing the opponent's distinctive symbols and attached it to his own body using spinal rivets.
Symbolizing inheritance,

Symbolizing spoils of war,
His armor was also featured.

Wild hairs seeped out from between the metal plates.

The exposed back, flowing with hellish lava,
The wolf-like head dripped lava continuously, and its mouth was filled with densely packed lava teeth, each marked with a symbol, capable of easily tearing apart any flesh.

【The Great Demon. The Blazing Van Kejov】

The moment he caught a whiff of Roddy, he charged forward.

Although the aura emanating from the other party was very different from that of the Spine Master, their flesh and blood were real.

Without the protection of armor, it could be bitten off in one bite.

however,
Just as the wolf-like demon was closing in, Roddy tilted his head slightly.

He didn't even take out Jason's baseball bat, but instead made a kitchen knife out of his metal left arm.

The scene he saw was strange.
I wonder if it's because of the intense work I've been doing in the kitchen lately.

What Roddy saw was not a hellish demon covered in metal plates, but a lamb chop running at high speed, with clearly visible stripes on its body.

Where should I start cutting?

How should I cut it?
How should the cutting force be controlled?

Roddy had already rehearsed the entire scenario in his mind without even having to think about it.

Just as Hunter said, it had become a habit, an instinct for handling meat. His focus had shifted from how to cut the meat to the meat itself.

Knife up and down.

In the audience, Oculus, whose eyes were covered by a hood, suddenly stood up, one of his main eyes extending outwards through nerves in an attempt to see more clearly.

"This isn't a massacre, where did this guy learn his knife skills?"
