Chapter 111: Chapter 105: The Past

Elderly Activity Area - Movie Room

Though no one was seated, a mature voice as sweet as a peach echoed.

"You don’t really think your disguise is so perfect that you can deceive my eyes, and even trick the exclusive bus service to my nursing home, do you?

Two months ago, I stopped ’recruiting’ people. Normally, no matter what you do, you could never get in here.

But well.

Due to your solo act, sitting alone at the bus stop with your mind completely relaxed, even more so than some ordinary humans. This allowed me to sniff out a familiar scent from your thoughts,

To be precise, the scent of an acquaintance.

You know Wu Wen, right?

And even your relationship with her is somewhat special, intimate? But judging by your expression right now, you seem unaware of her past?

Since we both know her, why don’t we sit down and talk? I’ve always liked little sister Wu Wen, it’s a pity that she left us over a year ago due to some matters, and I’ve missed her all these years.

I miss every inch of her skin and flesh."

Luo Di was frozen by the photo in front of him, as well as the woman’s words, as his brain slowly started to churn.

He had never imagined that the anomaly behind the nursing home, mainly active in Mingwang City and of Italian nationality, the Pseudo-Person, would know the class president and seemed very familiar.

Recalling the night of the Four Middle School Incident,

Recalling the true form of the class president face-to-face in the classroom,

She had said on the podium that at the tender age of thirteen, she had formed "Thought Corner," and participation in the interstice screening was something she did at eighteen.

During those five years as a Pseudo-Person, had she really always disguised herself as a well-behaved girl studying at school?

Not done a single bad thing, simply relying on "Disguise" to meet the requirements of the Corner?

Was playing the role of a student the only thing that cultivated a mature pituitary gland, enabling her to kill another skilled Pseudo-Person, also adept at disguising skin, just before the Four Middle School Incident?

Now, the answer was clear.

The class president had her own exclusive Pseudo-Person secrets, even tethered to many affairs.

Beneath that bright and beautiful exterior seemed to hide a pitch-black and unfathomably deep morass.

Sigh... A breath of sulfurous hot air was exhaled from the mask.

Luo Di made a decision, now that he had discovered a profound mire he had never known before, he wanted to explore it thoroughly, to understand the real class president.

Perhaps,

This was the main reason the class president chose this incident.

Another very important ’point’ - from the other person’s words, the "class president" in the backpack hadn’t been exposed yet.

The woman in the mirror continued, "You must be a new friend Wu Wen made after leaving our ’Sisterhood,’ or even a boyfriend?

Her eye for people is still as good as ever.

When you were slaughtering the elderly in the corridor just now, I was somewhat attracted."

At this point, the woman reflected in the mirror stuck out a crimson tongue, reaching out from her hair to lick around her surroundings.

"Don’t just stand there, come over~ Let’s talk, I really want to know what Wu Wen has been up to after she left us. How she met you, and how she died during the interstice screening?

As a condition,

I will tell you some things about us."

The woman in the mirror extended her hand toward another vacant seat.

However, Luo Di didn’t obediently take the seat but moved behind the woman’s seat... Swoosh! The Zombie Blade slashed toward the empty space.

Black hair and teeth quivered,

Although the blade had seemingly cut into the woman’s body in the virtual image shown in the mirror, it passed through as if cutting air, with no sensation of actually slicing reality.

The Zombie Blade appeared ineffective,

Luo Di wanted to continue trying,

As he was about to throw the animal trap in his hand towards the woman’s seat, suddenly, his tongue snapped violently, sensing danger, and hurriedly backed away,

The woman on the chair turned her head, looking at Luo Di through her hair-covered face, "If you want to talk, then talk properly? This is my territory after all, and I’m only willing to sit down and talk to you because of Wu Wen.

I’ll give you one more chance, take the seat."

Orders, coercion.

This was what Luo Di despised the most.

Although he was curious about the monitor’s past, he could have waited for her to wake up and asked her in person, or found out through other channels.

While it was not yet confirmed whether the traps were effective, based on the experience with the elevator and the extreme reaction when he took out the animal traps just now, it was almost certain that the Hell Attribute was effective.

Just as Luo Di was preparing to proceed with his killing intent against this person,

Swish~

That familiar sensation came from behind again, and the spherical object in his backpack moved slightly.

The killing intent dissipated,

and Luo Di, as if he had become another person, walked to the vacant seat that was left for him.

Of course, he didn’t let his guard down.

As he took his seat, a stench of sulfur from Hell filled the air around him. By the time the dust settled, there were five animal traps laid around the chair.

The woman’s voice came again: "You’ve finally agreed to sit down and talk. Let’s introduce ourselves first so we can communicate better.

I’ll start.

My name is Isabella, I was born in Mingwang City. My academic performance wasn’t good, and I often got into trouble at school, so I got expelled in high school.

My parents died in an anomalous event. I had to drop out and found work in a nursing home as a nurse’s aide, arranged by the community, only to be exposed to the dark side of this city.

You’ve already seen it in the clinic downstairs, haven’t you? With your intelligence, you should be able to easily guess the true nature of this nursing home.

Let me also reveal to you that this drug that accelerates aging is a scientific research product of the local research authority.

The reason I could transform into what I am now, to join the Sisterhood, to be acquainted with a genius like Sister Wu Wen, all thanks to the terrible environment provided by the nursing home.

Taking care of those old farts 24 hours a day,

each one with issues in their heads, sometimes messing the bed, and if I did something slightly wrong I’d be slapped or reported to the hospital.

The doctors and leaders in the nursing home knew I had no parents and would always find ways to suppress me, even making unwanted advances.

I especially wanted to die then but didn’t want to let these people have it easy.

So one day I made up my mind,

I gave myself all the aging injections that were supposed to be given to the elderly, a whole ten times the dose~ And then, before I died of aging, I used the physical enhancement from the drug’s effects to slaughter those leaders and doctors.

Of course, I’m someone who sticks to principles. I didn’t kill some colleagues who had comforted me privately.

After all this, I locked myself in a dark storage room to await death.

The tenfold dosage caused my body to age rapidly; even as my brain was clear, my body was outrageously old. I could feel every organ, every bone in my body rotting and decaying.

The moment before I died, I heard a voice in the Thought Corner, an incredibly clear voice.

Then my flesh completely melted away, turning into a puddle of blood, absorbed by the building of the nursing home. When my consciousness came to, the entire nursing home had merged with me.

That moment I finally knew how special I was.

The me you see in the mirror is what I looked like as a human, not bad compared to Wu Wen, right?

Alright! My introduction is over, now it’s your turn.

Don’t worry about time. I’ve completely stopped the ’aging’ that was aimed at you, as long as we talk normally you won’t age.

If you’re shy, you can also talk directly about your experiences with Wu Wen."

"What is the Sisterhood?"

Seeing Luo Di throw another question,

the woman in the mirror quickly waggled her finger, "That’s not right, we had an agreement. You can’t keep listening to me talk all the time; you should also share some interesting stories or experiences, right?"

"Oh."

Luo Di got up expressionlessly, collected all the traps around him, and turned to walk towards the exit of the movie room.

This action stunned the woman, "Where are you going?"

"Since you’re unwilling to discuss what I want to hear, there’s no point in continuing this conversation, just sitting here with you makes me feel disgusted.

I still can’t think of a way to kill you, so let it be, I’m going home to sleep."

Luo Di deliberately paused, his tone sinking:

"By the way, how dare you compare yourself to Wu Wen?"
