Deep in the Living-Chapter 425 - 413 Rain

In the hallway.

The pitch-black stairs crisscrossed on both sides; typically, no player participating in the real death game would come here.

Only used by internal personnel in case of special situations.

Of course, Wu Wen and Yu Lu were discussing in detail at the corner of the stairs, surrounded by a membrane formed by death that ensured their conversation would not be leaked.

The chat seemed to be going well,

At least in Yu Lu’s eyes, the initial prejudice against Wu Wen had faded, and occasionally, a smile appeared during their later conversation.

The two chatted for a whole half hour and finally ended in a very normal way, with the death membrane retracting into Yu Lu’s body.

"When things here are over and Luo Di returns with you to the Sisterhood, could you please, Yu Lu, take care of him a bit?

Men, after all, can’t fully control themselves sometimes, Yu Lu, don’t let him be completely drained."

"Hmm."

The two drifted away from the hallway and returned to Luo Di’s hospital room.

When they arrived at the door, Wu Wen politely knocked, but received no response from inside, as if the ongoing events or sounds had drowned out the knock.

"We’ve been chatting for about half an hour; is it still not over?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Wu Wen’s face as she placed her palm against the door, letting flesh flow into the keyhole.

It turned out the door wasn’t locked at all; it opened easily.

Inside the hospital room, there was no anticipated sound, circling to the bed to find only Juan sitting there combing her hair, using a special thread and needle to carefully sew up the cracked corner of her mouth.

"You’re back, huh? Hua Yuan and Luo Di left temporarily, saying they went out for a walk; not sure where they went."

The squad leader directly ignored the woman in front and walked straight to the bed, lifting the covers to check for any pheromones that might be present.

"Oh? They really went out... Just perfect."

Instead of being worried, Wu Wen turned and wrapped an arm around Yu Lu’s, "Yu Lu~ I heard there’s top leisure service in the real death game, and we have a Skip Card; we can enjoy it for the next few days.

Sister, would you like to join? My treat."

Juan slowly turned her head while brushing her hair, revealing the half-sewn mouth and licking the wound with her tongue.

"Sure, thank you, dear sister."

[Half an hour ago]

When Luo Di, lying on the hospital bed, was happily chatting with the newly acquainted sister [Juan],

A light cough came from the curtains.

Interrupted the conversation, and Luo Di’s gaze shifted over.

He saw Hua Yuan standing with arms crossed and a cold expression, gesturing for him to come over with a finger.

Luo Di could obviously tell Hua Yuan’s intentions; publicly refusing her here would probably create an irreparable rift in their relationship.

"Miss Juan, we’ll chat next time."

"Alright, remember our agreement~ You can come to my room after returning to the apartment."

Luo Di simply smiled awkwardly and was suddenly grabbed by the arm and dragged out of the hospital room.

Clearly, Hua Yuan was not in a good mood; had they not been inside the real death game’s company, she might have truly snapped.

"Hua Yuan, let’s not mess around for now; even though I used a Skip Card, I still have to participate in the final challenge."

"Don’t worry, I won’t snap at you. Come with me."

The displeasure on Hua Yuan’s face was quickly suppressed as she led Luo Di temporarily out of the real death game building.

Once they stepped out of the building,

Hua Yuan turned around, stood on tiptoe, and placed a pendant on Luo Di’s chest.

"We’re leaving the real death game for a while; since that clown got eliminated by you in the second round, it might follow us. Keep the pendant on, don’t let your guard down."

"Hmm, where are we going?"

Hua Yuan didn’t directly answer Luo Di’s question; instead, she spoke about the matters that needed consideration: "The rules of the third round have already been communicated; it’ll last five days to select the participants for the final challenge.

How many more bodies do you need to collect, Luo Di?"

"Between ten and twenty."

"Do you think you could kill ten to twenty monsters in the final challenge?"

"The monsters selected for the final challenge are all elites; being able to kill one or two might be the limit."

"Then it’s decided, Mr. Questionmark has already extended an olive branch to you, giving you a chance to sprout here. Such an opportunity is unlikely to come again if missed.

With the extra time provided by the Skip Card, I’m taking you out to fill in the gaps.

You must not only sprout here but also seize the ultimate victory! And achieve all this with my help.

Poor-quality bodies can still be used to build the door, right?"

"The foundation is already good enough; the remaining materials only need to be monsters."

"This [City of Sin], apart from high-level venues like the real death game, also has several ’small workshops’ related to death, where things happen faster and dopamine spikes more intensely.

Many inferior monsters are thrown inside for primitive slaughter competitions—no queues, no waiting; we can participate immediately and even make some quick money.

Of course, there are risks involved.

So, do you want to go?"

"Let’s go..." Luo Di was somewhat surprised; he initially thought Hua Yuan had ulterior motives for taking him out but found her incredibly reliable, "Hua Yuan, thank you."

"Tsk~ stop with the useless words; I hate them.

Once you truly win first place in the Death Grand Challenge, just lend me Mr. Questionmark’s Plant Pot for a while, and it’d be best if you could lend yourself as well.

By the way, Wu Wen probably spoke to you privately, didn’t she? Did she ask you to leave the Sisterhood and go to her?"

"No, she wants me to stay with the Sisterhood."

Hua Yuan, walking ahead, paused slightly, "Huh? That old fox’s intentions are really unpredictable, but she’s quite generous.

Probably not many women in the world would dare let their men be part of the Sisterhood, and for that, I have to admire her."

Luo Di didn’t say much more; he silently followed Hua Yuan, pretending to be a male servant, as they headed to a dark alley.

At the end was a lifelike blood-red mouth, and through the throat, one could enter a secret inner space.

Two green door monsters guarded the entrance, their bodies concealed beneath dark robes.

With scaly wrinkled skin protruding, their claws were already stretched out, blocking the path of the two.

Hua Yuan smiled and revealed the Sisterhood’s emblem, and they immediately retracted their claws, clearing the way inside.

Without needing to go far, and without stepping over the barrier, the intense smell of blood and nearly frenzied cheers were already discernible.

The interior resembled a huge factory, with various pit-style "Beast Fighting Cages" scattered around; roughly twenty slaughter matches were happening simultaneously.

The rules were similar,

Participants’ levels must not exceed the sprouting stage,

No use of one-time strong-boost medications,

No use of items beyond their rank.

Hua Yuan had already used the Sisterhood status to enroll Luo Di in queue-jumping.

"Hua Yuan, can I wear the grandmother’s arm? Taking it off might let the clown mix into the crowd and target me."

"No need to take it off; they aren’t that strict here. As long as you don’t actively use it in the match, wearing it is fine."

"Alright."

Hua Yuan placed the number on Luo Di, representing his entry number, and firmly pushed him.

"Hurry to position number five; your match is about to start. If you need a break midway, signal me with your hand; if you don’t, just keep fighting."

The spectators yearning for death’s thrill had already cleared a path for Luo Di, the participant; occasionally, an arm would extend to pinch his flesh, assessing his strength for easier betting.

Facing the edge of the twenty-meter deep pit, Luo Di jumped down into it.

Standing on a floor rife with slaughtered chunks and bones, a pair of crimson eyes stared at him, with his opponent on the opposite side. fгeewebnovёl.com

A monster donning a stag’s head bone, with arms longer than a human’s height, was squatting there, still gnawing on the hairy long leg of the previous contestant.

Bloodshot eyes, saturated with malice, glared at the new entrant.

This place instituted nonstop slaughter; unless the winner raised their hand to withdraw immediately, the next death battle minion would be scheduled.

The spectators surrounding the pit began to place bets,

Most of them expecting Luo Di, still sprouting, to soon become feed for the three-time winner... In fact, this face-off barely qualified as a proper match, but rather a reward game granting the opponent a three-win bonus.

It moved!

The Wendigo-like monster let out a mind-affecting howl, causing the blood within the pit to boil.

With arm span exceeding four meters,

It lunged towards the clean-looking, tender-skinned "human."

Swish!

Long spiked claws flung through the air,

The rain began again.
