Deep in the Living-Chapter 448 - 436: Grandmother’s Reward

The hemp rope tightly strangled the neck,

Luo Di was gradually dying in this process,

Near death, the speed of dying slowed down. A certain trait resisted death, allowing Luo Di to hover on the boundary between life and death.

Images flashed through his mind,

But these photos were suppressed by Luo Di before the reel finished playing.

[Undead]

As in those sequels where murderers are resurrected, hanging on the ceiling fan, Luo Di suddenly opened his eyes, his stiff body completely tense.

The handle of a bladeless knife gripped in his hand,

As if a phantom foe existed before his eyes, Luo Di executed slashes in a hanging state, each cut slow, like the last gasp of a dying man wielding a knife.

Although slow, it was deadly.

Thus swinging nearly a hundred times,

The seemingly empty space seemed to really be slashed open, seeping blood outward.

Luo Di himself seemed to undergo a transformation, shifting towards a ’non-human’ form.

Pa!

At the crucial moment, the noose strangling Luo Di’s neck suddenly snapped, and he fell heavily to the ground as if truly dead.

With a flick of his finger, sensation slowly returned to his body.

The Old Spine supported him as he slowly stood up, exhaling the first breath of the living.

Huff... Huff, huff~

Then came continuous deep breaths, revitalizing the pale, rigid flesh, finally bringing him back to life.

At that very moment,

Something soft and light attached once more to his back, ghostly lips whispered in his ear: "You have a talent for death... Earlier, you nearly united with death, seemingly entering a state of pure slashing."

"Thank you, Sister Yu, for your guidance."

"You’ve helped me, naturally I’ll help you. Plus, there aren’t many in the Sisterhood whom I can teach about death; someone willing to embrace it is very welcome.

Alright~ The Grandmother has already made contact."

The ground under them transformed into numerous arms, pulling them and the sofa down together.

In an instant, Luo Di found himself in a familiar place, a tranquil mountain path, where all plants had hand-like traits.

"Grandmother’s mountain... seems akin to Mr. Question’s Game Tower, where they can set personal rules in such an intrinsic area.

Could it be, when monsters reach a certain level of power, they all possess such a [territory]?

Did they purchase the land ownership from the Corner and then transform it?

Or did their pituitary space manifest it? If the latter, might I one day possess a territory-like space akin to the Moon?"

The more Luo Di thought, the more interesting it seemed; though recently sprouting, he began envisioning his matured state.

In front of the cabin atop the mountain, Hua Yuan was already waiting there.

Creak~ The door opened.

Originally, one would expect the Squad Leader, a traitor to the Sisterhood, to face severe punishment, yet the scene ahead completely differed.

Wu Wen sat before the vanity,

Grandmother seated closely behind her,

Proliferating arms sprouting from regions like her side face, armpits were elegantly grooming Wu Wen, styling her hair.

[p>Even Hua Yuan and Yu Lu were astounded.

As core members of the Sisterhood, they rarely received such treatment.

"Grandmother."

"Are you here? Find a place to sit."

Grandmother continued focusing on Wu Wen’s grooming without even glancing at the three who had entered.

Hua Yuan watched this scene, feeling utterly displeased. According to her expectations, if Wu Wen were brought back to the Sisterhood, surviving would at least cost her a layer of skin.

Grandmother clearly saw through their thoughts, speaking while applying makeup:

"One of my formerly beloved granddaughters, Wu Wen, brought me invaluable news. Moreover, she’s willing to assist in certain tasks; her punishment is postponed until completion."

"What task?" Hua Yuan was noticeably impatient, believing there’s no need to involve an outsider within the Sisterhood.

Grandmother opened her mouth, the fingers within making a vertical silencing gesture, "It’s a secret. Once accomplished, you’ll naturally know; it concerns the Sisterhood’s future development.

Furthermore, Wu Wen will remain here for a while, living with us, and later will accompany Luo Di to handle a private matter."

Hua Yuan continued with a follow-up sentence, "Grandmother, Luo Di is the one I brought back, his matters I will..."

The conversation was cut off,

as slender, baby-like arms directly sprouted from Hua Yuan’s mouth, even prying her jaws wide open, nearly tearing her entire brain in half.

As these arms slowly receded, Hua Yuan did not say more, sulking alone in the corner.

She wouldn’t apologize, it was a matter of principle.

"Hua... You and Wu Wen need to get along well. Your growth rates are roughly the same, and on a physical level, you complement each other.

The subsequent hunting issues of Luo Di will be jointly handled by you two, and you can grow from that.

During this time, Wu Wen will temporarily stay at your apartment.

No problem?"

"There is... No." Hua Yuan buried her face in the wall within the corner, curses ran through her mouth multiple times but couldn’t articulate a single word.

"Your outing job was done well this time. The Question Mark Mister is too mysterious, too neutral; establish a basic relationship, but no deep engagement.

Especially, I want to praise Luo Di; I heard Question Mark Mister offered you an olive branch, yet you refused?"

"Yes."

"Great~ As a reward, you’ll stay with me tonight."

"Okay... Fine."

Even though Luo Di had sprouted, upon hearing this request, his body trembled slightly, drenched in sweat.

"The matter of the clown can be addressed anytime once you’ve rested; I have checked the amusement park invitation ticket, and there’s no problem with it in itself.

The only thing to note is, be cautious that the other party is not alone."

"Okay."

After dressing up,

Wu Wen’s face was covered with rouge and powder, her hair braided with flowers, resembling a village girl about to get married.

Such attire represented grandmother’s favor, allowing even outsiders to fraternize within the Sisterhood.

The next second,

grandmother spat out a special fear crystal, handing one to Yu Lu and another to Hua Yuan as a reward for completing the task.

Yu Lu took the opportunity to inquire:

"Grandmother, did Wu Wen talk to you about it? About our encounter on the way back."

"The tongue, right... That thing basically doesn’t operate outside, back when I founded the Sisterhood and needed to acquire massive resources, I once saw the guy in an undeveloped dangerous area, but it displayed no hostility and voluntarily sneaked away.

This matter is not urgent, since it didn’t harm you, and only targeted Luo Di with a tongue seal, let’s assume it has no inherent hostility.

The next time you go out, hang up my arms! You seem to have entirely forgotten this on your way back."

Upon grandmother’s mention, Luo Di recalled the event,

This outing was mostly about participating in games; transcendent items were prohibited from being carried, always preserved by Hua Yuan. The tongue targeted Luo Di, thus the arm effect wasn’t triggered.

Crouching in the corner, Hua Yuan tossed the arm pendant back to Luo Di without willing to turn around.

Grandmother was indifferent, viewing emotions as normal, excessively obedient behavior instead impeding development,

compared to Hua Yuan, she valued Yu Lu more, one of her most promising granddaughters, "Lu~ You seem to have spoken more during this outing." frёeωebɳovel.com

"Did I?"

"Good, just keep it that way.

You can return to your rooms; Hua Yuan and Wu Wen must get along well; if I find out you fight in the house, you will face punishment.

Now it’s Luo Di’s reward time."

A multitude of arms emerged and swept the three sisters away, without permitting them any further word, their traces entirely erased.

Leaving only grandmother and Luo Di alone.

No verbal exchange occurred,

grandmother had habitually laid on the round bed, revealing her flawless back entirely.

"Finally waiting for you to sprout, come on! Let me try the new massage technique and Hell System since Demon Ascension, if you can satisfy my true form... I’ll serve as your killing sparring partner.

If I’m not mistaken,

you haven’t exhibited full strength since sprouting, right? The urge for slaughter within you is spilling from every pore."

Upon hearing such benefits, Luo Di’s desire instantly surged.

Being a murderer, he inherently craved hunting strong figures, such an opportunity was very rare.

Immediately, he removed his shoes and socks, stepping onto the bed.

Viewing the large bed as a chopping board, seeing the perfect, snow-white back as a piece of meat,

he began executing!
