Chapter 110: Chapter 104: Photo

[Ten minutes ago]

Anna left the elevator because of the peace charm.

Luo Di remained alone in the metal cabin, not trying to stop the elevator doors from closing, just quietly staying inside.

Anna’s departure actually made Luo Di feel more relieved.

He was fully aware of how passive and dangerous it was to ride an elevator under these conditions, which even characters in horror movies would consider for a long time.

Even if he could safely arrive at a certain floor, he would face even greater dangers,

and he didn’t want to lose the only friend he had left.

Click! His tongue also snapped at the same time, signifying that danger was approaching.

Amidst the virtual images reflected on the metal walls, a mass of pitch-black substance kept getting closer from a distance, seemingly non-existent in reality, only within the mirror.

As this pitch-black virtual image appeared, the cabin’s air conditioning began to work.

Hiss~

Bursts of gray gas were released through the cabin’s air conditioning, the breath that could cause aging.

As the gas was about to be inhaled by Luo Di,

the Jaw Splitter, created by Hell, immediately heated the approaching gas, turning its effective components into ash, with a sulfuric smell spreading through the cabin.

Luo Di didn’t show any change in expression, just silently waiting for the prey to appear.

The air conditioning shut off,

and the gray gas that filled the cabin gradually burned out.

The shadow moving between the mirrors had already drawn close, taking the form of a tall woman with a large syringe in her hand, aiming at Luo Di’s reflected virtual image.

Although it wasn’t real, it felt like if the virtual image in the mirror got hurt, the actual body would also be harmed.

The next second,

the approaching shadow stopped in its tracks, not completely coming close to Luo Di.

The ashes of Hell were spreading inside the cabin,

and Luo Di’s surroundings were already filled with animal traps, which also reflected well in the mirror. Perhaps the shadow in the mirror would trigger them once it got close.

"Hehe..."

An eerie laugh followed, and the shadow dissipated.

The flickering ceiling light in the cabin returned to normal.

Luo Di glanced at his left arm bearing obvious signs of withering and let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Whew~ I can create up to six animal traps with my current left arm, huh? If I made one more, the whole arm would probably rot off completely."

As the animal traps disappeared one by one,

turning into wisps of ash and returning to his body, his left arm slowly restored to its original form,

"This ability from the Punishment Room could probably still be enhanced, looks like I’ll have to ask Mr. Hawke more about it in the future."

Ding! The elevator arrived.

[Elders’ Activity Center]

An eye-catching metal sign hung at the entrance, illuminated by flickering lights.

A long corridor stretched out ahead,

with various activity rooms spaced equidistantly on either side,

[Billiard Room], [Mahjong Room], [Table Tennis Room], [Library], etc.,

and the [Movie Room] at the end of the corridor.

Perhaps it was the sound of the elevator,

or maybe it was the smell of living flesh,

or maybe Luo Di brought an unusual heat,

aside from the movie room at the end, doors of activity rooms on both sides all swung open,

and a dozen or more old people with capillaries oozing out of their facial features surged out, all heading towards the elevator entrance.

Whoosh!

The Jaw Splitter could not only heat the approaching air but also the gas that Luo Di exhaled, giving off a hellish, scorched yellow color.

He wasn’t panicked at all by the number pressing down on him; on the contrary, he was thrilled.

He had been waiting for such a moment for too long,

he hadn’t had such a satisfying slaughter for far too long,

Crack-crack-crack~

His right hand’s Zombie Blade was already covered in black fur, with matured teeth neatly arrayed on the blade area, beginning to grind against each other,

his left hand was wrapped in barbed iron wire, radiating waves of heat,

these old people had no will of their own, acting just like Living Corpses, unorganized, just thinking about how to feed.

The first elder had already lunged forward,

before his hands could touch Luo Di, his head was instantly cleaved open by the rolling teeth and blade, the Zombie Blade’s chainsaw effect cutting his body in two.

There was another who almost at the same time crawled over from the side, thinking to get close by taking advantage of the moment the other swung his blade.

Snap!

A palm stretched out in front of him, five fingers gripping onto the old man’s face, lifting him into the air.

The red blood vessels growing between the old man’s facial features tried to burrow into the palm, but as soon as they attempted to do so, they were torn apart by the iron wires between the fingers.

This left arm, originating from the Punishment Room, feared nothing of these things.

With force,

The arm slammed against the wall,

Three times in succession! The entire skull shattered, and the headless body fell to the ground.

In a single encounter, two elders were killed,

At this moment, another person crawled over from the ceiling.

Luo Di didn’t jump up to hack them to death, nor did he throw a blade upwards.

He simply waited until the moment the person pounced down from above, stepping forward to dodge, and where he stood previously, there appeared an animal trap.

The elder who missed his target plunged headfirst into the animal trap—snap!

His entire head was instantly crushed into a pulp.

Although these elders moved swiftly, their dense and eerie blood vessels could quickly suck on their targets, and their bodies contained pathogenic gases.

But they had a fatal weakness—that was due to their withered aging, almost no blood left in their bodies, each weighing no more than 30kg.

Such frailty couldn’t withstand Luo Di’s slaughter,

Slash, chop, hack, slice

Smash, throw, tear, pinch

In total, thirteen mutated elders were slaughtered,

The corridors of the entire activity region were hung with limbs and severed arms,

When Luo Di threw away the last decapitated head,

Huff~ha~ he took deep breaths,

Standing in the pose of a Murderer, he had not switched to Hell’s form throughout the entire process; it was the most pure form of human slaughter.

This pure act of killing seemed to bring about some kind of invisible factor, similar to the [Experience] in games, like an unseen delicacy, absorbed by that special Spine from Hell.

Even through his clothing, the Spine’s undulation was clear, faintly emitting red.

The physical energy expended in the killing was rapidly replenished,

Even leaving him in a better state than before,

After slightly adjusting his condition,

Luo Di walked towards the deepest movie room,

Bang!

He kicked the door wide open,

Expecting to find a large number of elders gathering inside for a viewing, leading to another large-scale slaughter.

Yet, the spacious movie room was empty,

Only two vacant chairs were placed in front of the movie screen illuminated by the projector,

And on each side of the chairs stood Huge mirrors,

The reflected images in the mirrors added one person, a tall woman sitting in one of the chairs as if waiting for Luo Di’s arrival, as though this place was prepared for him.

Different from the shadowy figure in the elevator,

This time the woman revealed her true appearance,

Ebony, slightly curled hair covering her entire face,

A nurse’s outfit wrapped around her shapely figure, nearly 1.83 meters tall,

Her fair lower legs protruded from the hem of the nurse’s skirt, barefoot on the smooth floor,

Luo Di, one hand holding Zombie Blade and the other clutching an animal trap,

The writhing spine on his back, ready to be activated at any moment,

As he stepped closer to where the woman was,

Click!

The projector suddenly started working,

On the Huge movie screen, a photograph was projected,

A photograph from several years ago,

A photograph so striking that Luo Di’s Killing Intent was instantly suppressed,

The photo showed two girls, intimately close,

One noticeably older, with black curling hair draped over her shoulders, a high nasal bridge, plump lips, a typical big-sized Italian beauty wrapped in Black rubber clothes, alluring and wicked.

The Italian girl was embracing another girl who looked to be about fifteen years old from Huaxia, buried in her exaggerated bosom.

The young girl was dressed in ordinary white clothing,

Perhaps due to the lighting, or perhaps because they had drunk something, both their faces were flushed with a reddish hue.

On their own, the two appeared normal.

But behind the two girls hung decorations made from hollowed-out Living Corpses, still pierced with various neon lights.

And Luo Di’s eyes were fixed on the fifteen-year-old Huaxia girl.

Because the girl’s face was identical to Wu Wen’s.
