Deep in the Living-Chapter 426 - 414 Ready

Only one day remains, and the third round of selection will conclude; the Death Grand Challenge will enter its final stage.

By then, Mr. Question will announce the list of participants eligible for the final stage, and those absent will be considered to have forfeited.

The Squad Leader, Yu Lu, and Juan are enjoying their leisure time in the bar of the True Death Game’s rest area.

After these days together, Yu Lu no longer holds any prejudice against the "target," and during their drinking, their arms are even tightly pressed against each other.

However, today Yu Lu has not drunk much, instead focusing more on another important issue.

"Luo Di hasn’t returned yet."

Juan immediately joined in on the topic, "That’s right, I wonder where he and Hua Mei have run off to play. There aren’t many men in our apartment. Ever since Hua Mei came, as long as she returns from the flower garden, many sisters look for her.

I’ve tried it; the feeling is even stronger than from many men.

If they’ve been getting rooms outside these days, I bet Luo Di would even have trouble standing, making it quite difficult for the final contest.

Why don’t we go find them now? Maybe there’s still a chance."

The Squad Leader continued eating and sipping on little drinks indifferently, "Hua Yuan and I have been old acquaintances since the Pseudo-Person days. Although she does indeed have a stronger desire in that aspect, she knows the importance of matters and understands what should take priority.

After all, amongst our batch of sisters, Hua Yuan is the big sister; collective actions all need her to set plans.

I guess the two of them are practicing right now and will return soon enough."

Juan shook her head, "Practicing? I don’t believe it... The way Hua Yuan looks at Luo Di isn’t right — even if they really are practicing, it’s probably practicing in bed."

Wu Wen suddenly turned her head, casting a weird look, "Juan, how about we place a bet? Not too much, just 100 Corner coins? If I win, give them to Luo Di since he’s my boyfriend."

Juan held Wu Wen’s gaze, the seam of her mouth slowly splitting open before closing again,

"All right, since there’s nothing much to do today, and there’s no point watching the third stage; let’s go out and play for a bit.

We might just catch them playing a strange game in bed, and when the time comes, maybe I can join in; Wu Wen, you wouldn’t mind, right? After all, Luo Di will stay at the Sisterhood later, so you won’t know whatever we do."

"If they really are, I definitely wouldn’t mind."

"Good, let’s head out then."

Sandwiched between them, Yu Lu could sense a conflict in their words but didn’t say much; she also wanted to know what Luo Di was up to.

After all, the final stage is almost here, and he’s still out and hasn’t returned.

She was arranged by her grandmother to act with Luo Di, and now that they’ve found the target, Luo Di’s affairs have become the primary focus.

Snap!

Wu Wen rose and linked her arm with Yu Lu, "Sister Yu, let’s go~ Did you leave a mark in Luo Di’s body?"

"I did."

"Then Sister Yu, you lead the way, lest someone says I’m up to something."

Juan just smiled slightly, linking her arm on the other side of Yu Lu.

Thus,

Yu Lu floated in the air like a big sister, leading her two little sisters from the household out on the street. Following the death sense, they quickly found a place deep in the alleys.

No hotels here, no amorous atmosphere.

Faced with a gaping bloody maw at the end, sniffing the air laden with blood, it became evident why Luo Di hadn’t returned.

Seeing this place, Juan’s expression turned dark — she knew very well what this spot represented, unlikely for anything else to be happening here.

As Yu Lu approached to present the Sisterhood’s insignia, the guard didn’t just make way but also volunteered some information.

"Slot Five."

[Slaughter Deep Pit]

Upon entering the internally bloody venue,

In such places meant purely for the pleasure of slaughter, they rarely come.

In terms of taste, environment, and entertainment, the True Death Game is far superior, with no need to come here.

However, many creatures still enjoy this fast-paced entertainment mode.

Today, though, things were different,

Although plenty of personnel were inside, many slots had opened up.

Almost half the spectators were concentrated at Slot Five, wrapped around in several layers inside and out.

Spectators in the back displayed their abilities, either elongating their spines or making their eyeballs float, all trying different means to see clearly the exciting match happening inside the slot.

Even with the dense crowd and mingled odors, Wu Wen still caught Luo Di’s distinctive scent and could hear the sound of rain.

It seemed as though it was raining inside.

"Stop pushing! If you can’t come upfront, just stay at the back. Another shove, I’ll chop you — sorry, sorry, come on in; I have a loose mouth I can’t control, please don’t mind."

A spectator on the outer rim instinctively cursed at the pressure from behind, turned his head, nearly frightened out of his wits and pituitary imbalance, a noose already looped around his neck.

Quickly making way, he patted the engrossed spectators in front.

Soon, a path was made leading to the innermost circle.

Hua Yuan stood in the first row, a cigarette made from her special flower pollen in her mouth, used for alertness.

Her face bore prominent dark circles, evidence of little rest these days.

Even with the sisters’ arrival, Hua Yuan made no greeting, instead focusing intently on the slaughter in the pit.

When Yu Lu and others reached the front row, their gazes naturally drawn down.

Even Juan, having some friction with Wu Wen, upon seeing the scene, entirely put aside their earlier tension, proactively handing out the lost Corner coins.

Watching the fighting scene, Yu Lu lightly inquired, "Hua, how many has Luo Di killed?"

"14."

"No rest in between?"

"He rested once on the second day, no more than five hours."

"Once this battle ends, bring him out. Tomorrow is the final stage — let him rest well."

Hua Yuan shrugged, "I called him once today already, but he refused outright. He’s completely immersed here,

here the slaughter mode, difficulty, and players’ style suit him perfectly; maybe we should’ve brought him here from the start.

Luo Di enjoys killing without many rules, purely visually, and is very skilled at pleasing the audience... Many creatures have taken a liking to this human, even planning to spend hefty sums buying him post-performance.

Already over twenty creatures have approached me about the male servant price, how amusing.

Moreover, today’s show has brought the venue owner himself here."

The sisters looked towards the viewing area of the pit fights accordingly.

Opposite stood a bloated and big-eared man, dressed in a deep red suit, exuding demon-like attributes, even having a sofa brought by subordinates.

Before long,

Bloody rain scattered,

In the depths of the pit, an unkempt Luo Di raised a Slaughter Knife high, declaring his fifteenth victory.

While the audience roared for name [D], hoping for him to continue into the next round of slaughter,

The bloodlust covering Luo Di’s eyes receded, and he turned, looking at the sisters now present.

Within his eyes, devoid of the frenzy of killing, lay a strange rationality.

Seemingly hinting the spree was ending,

The sofa-seated boss across had vanished,

Bang!

The ground quaked,

The audience fell silent.

The venue owner dropped into the bloodstained pit, standing before Luo Di.

Many spectators believed the boss would lower his strength, engaging this winning streak contender personally at his level. The Sisterhood members felt somewhat uneasy, Yu Lu preparing to step down and intervene.

Although slightly inferior to the True Death Game,

In the City of Sin, able to purchase such a substantial venue, the owner’s might was non-negligible.

However,

The owner neither attacked but rather lifted Luo Di’s arm high.

"Congratulations to our Mr. D for achieving a fifteen-win streak.

I haven’t encountered such an excellent human in a long time. Within a mere four days, you have boosted the crowd here immensely, and added so many sources of killing for the pit.

Mr. Question has communicated with me ahead of time; hurry back now, hoping you triumph in the final stage. I’ll be cheering for you on-site.

Remember to visit again when convenient, Mr. D."

"Thank you, sir."
