Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

Jiang Luo stared at the enormous creature crouching on the ground in the abandoned construction site, his gaze falling on the severed leg in the monster's hand, which was wearing high school uniform pants.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, mixed with the stench of the old town's sewers, which assaulted Jiang Luo's nostrils.

A violent killing intent surged in her ruby-like eyes.

Two white tufts of hair drooped limply in the night wind.

He thought that once he regained his strength, he could snatch that stupid woman back from his alcoholic father.

Incredibly, this monster that appeared out of nowhere stole the prize!

"Spit her out of Lolo's mouth!"

Jiang Luo let out a sharp roar. She didn't even bother to pick up the utility knife, and instead stomped her little foot hard on the cement windowsill.

Her petite body transformed into a blur, leaving a dark red trail in the air as she hurtled towards the monster covered in bluish-green tumors.

Hearing the noise, the monster turned its head, its face devoid of features, consisting only of a gaping maw, aimed directly at Jiang Luo in mid-air.

It opened its mouth and let out a piercing roar, raising its thick arm in an attempt to swat Jiang Luo away.

Jiang Luo didn't dodge at all; she let the arm covered in tumors smash down on her.

Just a second before contact, countless dark red abyssal tentacles surged wildly from the ground.

Those tentacles, carrying the power to tear everything apart, pierced through the monster's entire arm and then twisted into its massive body.

Foul-smelling black blood splattered everywhere in the night sky.

The monster's roar was abruptly cut off, and its massive body was forcibly torn into countless pieces by its tentacles, which fell with a crackling sound onto the muddy construction site.

Jiang Luo landed steadily in the middle of the pile of minced meat, her black leather shoes stepping on a still wriggling tumor.

She looked down at the severed leg at her feet, and the blood-stained high school review materials scattered all over the ground.

The murderous intent in his red eyes dissipated, leaving only an inexplicable sense of unease.

She squatted down and poked the torn math workbook with her fair little hand.

"Are you out of your mind, you stupid woman?"

"He clearly had a chance to escape, but he insisted on staying and becoming a bargaining chip for that drunkard."

"Now look what happened, they were eaten alive by this ugly thing, not even bones were left, and you, you idiot, ruined Lolo's mood."

Jiang Luo complained with a wronged expression. She didn't really care about the college entrance exam task; she could just smash this illusion to pieces if necessary.

The thought of that stupid woman, whose face was covered in blood, still explaining math problems to her, dying like that made her unable to suppress the anger in her heart.

Just as Jiang Luo was preparing to unleash the Abyss Source to completely raze the construction site to the ground.

A very faint sob came from an abandoned cement pipe not far away.

Jiang Luo's ears twitched, and he immediately turned his head to look at the dark tube opening.

"Who's hiding there!"

Dark red tentacles hovered in mid-air, ready to grind anyone inside into mincemeat without hesitation should they make any move.

A rustling, grinding sound came from inside the cement pipe.

A girl in a school uniform, covered in mud, crawled out on her hands and feet, shivering and huddled in a corner.

By the dim moonlight, Jiang Luo could see the swollen and red face clearly.

It was Lin Xiao, the one who should have been eaten by the monster.

Jiang Luo's eyes widened, and two white tufts of hair stood up straight.

"You're not dead?"

Jiang Luo retracted his tentacles, ran to Lin Xiao in a few steps, grabbed her collar and lifted her up.

Lin Xiao was so frightened by Jiang Luo's fierce appearance that she trembled and tears mixed with mud fell down her face.

"Jiang Luo, don't kill me! I didn't see anything!"

Jiang Luo rolled her eyes and pressed Lin Xiao back to the ground.

"Why would Lolo kill you? Lolo is asking how you got here, and who was that unlucky guy who was just eaten?"

Lin Xiao hugged her knees and looked in horror at the pile of foul-smelling minced meat.

"I don't know who she is."

"When my dad dragged me downstairs, we passed the alleyway and a girl wearing black-rimmed glasses suddenly appeared and knocked my dad unconscious."

"She dragged me to this construction site, saying it was the safest blind spot, and told me to hide inside a cement pipe and wait for someone to come and get me."

"Not long after, the monster appeared, and just then it bumped into another girl who was passing by, and directly..."

As Lin Xiao finished speaking, she covered her mouth and gagged.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Luo immediately pictured Lin Meng's face with that smug, punchable smile.

That bookworm who claimed to be from the future actually used that abnormal causal ability to save Lin Xiao before the monster appeared.

As for the unfortunate soul that got eaten, it was probably just a sacrifice used to advance the plot within the illusion.

Jiang Luo let out a long breath, finally feeling relieved.

As long as Lin Xiao is still alive, the rules for the college entrance examination for these three days can continue.

"Alright, alright, stop crying, you're giving Lolo a headache."

Jiang Luo reached out and patted the dirt off Lin Xiao's body, then forcibly pulled her wrist and walked her out of the construction site.

"Let's go, Lolo will take you home."

Lin Xiao staggered after Jiang Luo, looking at Jiang Luo's petite figure with her red and swollen eyes full of confusion.

"But my dad is still at home. If he wakes up, he'll definitely sell me again."

Jiang Luo stopped and turned around to grin at Lin Xiao.

Two small, sharp, white shark teeth gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

"He won't have the chance to sell you."

"Lolo, go back now and cut him into 108 pieces to feed the wild dogs."

"Just live obediently, and explain a couple more math problems to Luo Luo on the day of the college entrance exam."

Looking at Jiang Luo's serious expression, Lin Xiao's tears flowed again.

She nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, Jiang Luo."

The voice just fell.

A soft white light began to emanate from the edges of Lin Xiao's body.

The light transformed into countless tiny specks of light, drifting into the night sky.

Jiang Luo stood there, watching Lin Xiao's body gradually become transparent in the white light.

The streets of the entire old town, the tenement buildings, and even the moon in the night sky all appeared severely distorted at this moment.

After Lin Xiao expressed his gratitude, the chain of rules in the illusionary realm was completely closed.

A loud crash of shattering glass followed.

The world before Jiang Luo's eyes collapsed with a roar.

The feeling of weightlessness was fleeting.

When Jiang Luo opened his eyes again, the pungent smell of gunpowder and the rich abyss atmosphere rushed towards him.

She found herself standing in the ruins of a dilapidated city.

Beneath their feet lay a dark red swamp of flesh and blood, and all around them were broken walls and ruins.

Her body also transformed back into that of an SS-rank Abyss Lord wearing a Gothic Lolita dress and wielding a Blood Moon Scythe.

Less than ten meters away from her.

Stella, Vivian, Yunyi, and others lay sprawled in the ruins.

Stella's black and white maid outfit was completely stained red with blood, and the huge pair of scissors with eyeballs in her hand was broken in two.

Vivian's red wedding dress was mostly burned, and her pale, ghostly hand hung limply at her side.

Yunyi's gold-rimmed glasses were shattered on the ground, and there was a deep, penetrating wound in his abdomen that exposed the bone.

All the eerie auras were extremely faint, and could dissipate completely at any moment.

[As expected of the ancient illusionary realm of the Death Vortex, it can even trap SS-level anomalies.]

[Fortunately, host, you're smart enough to successfully break the rules of the illusion and escape.]

Otherwise, all of your loyal servants would be doomed here today.

The system's gloating electronic voice echoed in Jiang Luo's mind.
