Chapter 112: Chapter 106 Hunting

[Speaking]

This kind of talk doesn’t exist in various B-grade films showcasing murderers, it’s even forbidden.

These masked murderers appear to lack "language"; throughout the entire film, they don’t utter a single word and only hunt in absolute silence.

Initially, Luo Di thought that superfluous words would only taint the killing.

Hence, he embraced the concept of "silence" from a young age, even during his school days, leading him directly to becoming the most solitary student in class, friendless despite excellent athletic abilities.

It wasn’t until the arrival of the class monitor that he made his first friend.

This notion of "silence" gradually broke down, and he even came to enjoy talking with friends, especially discussing film plots with the class monitor at home and talking about academic matters with Little Gao.

In Luo Di’s view, speaking wasn’t a bad thing.

Just like the mask he designed, the murderer he was becoming was different, brand new. Moreover, the targets he hunted weren’t human, but dangerous creatures like Pseudo-people.

[Speaking], perhaps, would be an effective change.

Just as how every word from the class monitor made her disguise more perfect.

In Luo Di’s eyes, perhaps words could also become a part of his killing, enabling him to achieve more perfect and effective hunting. After all, hunting Pseudo-people wasn’t the same as hunting humans; there were always difficulties.

The recent Ghost Bride incident gave him a taste of the benefits of speaking.

Currently,

From the moment he took his seat, Luo Di had been analyzing [Isabella]’s situation, drawing conclusions based on her life story, the information gathered along the way, and data from the current environment.

Trying to find a way to kill this Pseudo-person,

The conclusion was, "extremely difficult."

The target had no physical body, existing only within the mirror.

Even the Zombie Blade was ineffective, only the left arm obtained from Hell’s Torture Room could pose a threat.

And the woman displayed in the mirror might not even be the real body; according to the preceding description, she might have completely merged with the entire nursing home, leaving her actual location unclear.

This was one of the hardest Pseudo-people Luo Di had ever encountered.

The only possibility for change was [Speaking],

For such beings with Corner-like thoughts and unchecked negative emotions, agitating them could make them act rashly and expose vulnerabilities.

Of course,

Luo Di didn’t have much confidence; his facial expressions didn’t match what he was saying.

So he got up from his movie seat and spoke with his back turned to the other person.

Even so, his speech was nearly devoid of emotion, almost like reciting a script.

But this was enough...

Just needing to convey the theme of "far inferior to the class monitor" was enough, even without any emotion, it was enough to strike at the most painful point for the other person.

Click!

The entire movie room went completely dark, with the projector switching off as well.

Immediately, Luo Di set up four "animal traps" around him while tossing his flashlight gently upward, embedding it in the ceiling to provide temporary light.

He then returned the Zombie Blade to its original state,

The blade smooth as a mirror,

Using the light provided by the flashlight and the reflective surface of the blade, he carefully observed his surroundings, tracking the woman’s movements.

With the animal traps laid on the ground, Luo Di focused his attention on the ceiling.

Sure enough,

The image reflected by the blade captured the target,

Catching the woman full of hatred crouching on the ceiling, exactly in the blind spot behind him, with all ten of her fingers elongated into the structure of syringes.

The woman also lunged at him simultaneously,

Her speed was much faster compared to the elder before,

But, Luo Di was also faster...

Whoosh~ a whiff of ash exhaled from between the Jaw Splitter, the spine on the back of the black cloak already bulging.

Buzz!

A black membrane covered the entire pupil, as if possessed by a demon.

Turn around, strike!

The left arm wrapped in spiked iron wire, like a hunting dog burrowing out from Hell’s caverns, swift and precise!

Snap!

The empty space in the middle of the room where apparently nothing existed, yet sounds of a palm striking and clutching could be heard.

Grabbed in one swoop!

This sensation corresponded to the throat; an invisible woman was being grasped in the air by the left arm wrapped in scorching iron wire.

Sharp iron wires, like living worms, burrowed into the opponent’s skin, and in the pitch-dark environment, one could hear the sounds of blood dripping and screams.

Isabella, struggling frantically, kept swinging her arms filled with syringes.

Due to the length of her arm, these syringes could only pierce Luo Di’s left arm, the aging drugs deactivated before injection due to the high temperature.

Injection ineffective,

The woman’s agonized screams gradually transformed as she began to mock the young man before her.

"Ah~ you really are incredible! To think you caught me, and your arm even neutralized my medication... Alright! Just kill me now.

Aren’t you fond of killing? You didn’t hesitate at all when you killed that old man before."

However, Luo Di hesitated to deliver the killing blow, neither smashing the opponent to the ground nor crushing her throat completely.

He simply maintained his left arm fully extended, keeping the opponent suspended in the air motionless.

However, something seemed to be writhing in his mouth.

"Stop dawdling, just do it! You’re hurting me so badly!" The woman grew impatient, the pain from the iron wires was unbearable, she wanted to die quickly.

At this moment,

Luo Di’s mouth slowly opened, emitting a sulfuric odor.

His mouth was as dry as a cave, covered in scorched cracks, with only some scalding saliva remaining on the surface of his tongue.

His left arm retracted, pulling Isabella closer,

His tongue, carrying the scalding saliva and covered in scorched marks, directly licked her face,

Parting the hair in front of her face with a lick,

From the chin upwards, over the lips, teeth, nose, and eyes, all the way to the hairline.

Such an action caught Isabella off guard, the man she had seen as a silent and cold human swiftly labeled as a "pervert."

After licking,

Hoarse sounds emerged from deep within Luo Di’s throat, "I’ve tasted your flavor..."

Before the syringes could pierce his head,

His left arm exerted force! Snap!

Isabella’s throat was completely crushed, and in the dark movie room, one could hear the sound of a head hitting the ground.

Luo Di immediately used the knife’s reflection to check the situation on the ground, seeing Isabella’s throat crushed and her body rapidly decaying into mush, being absorbed by the building.

Indeed, it was just an insignificant duplicate.

However, the important "pheromones" had been acquired by his tongue,

He remembered the scent,

Luo Di closed his eyes, savoring the taste and expanding his nostrils as much as possible to sniff the surrounding air.

The source of this scent should be located deep below the entire building, even further down than the lobby, in a completely secluded underground area.

Location confirmed,

Luo Di immediately sprinted forward, barging through the movie room’s door towards the end of the hall, towards the elevator he had taken earlier.

What originally was an elevator now turned into a wall.

There was no longer any "downward" path.

The nursing home’s architectural structure had been altered again, trapping Luo Di on this floor to await his ultimate aging.

Even Anna had difficulty smashing through these buildings, and Luo Di, even in Hell Mode, would find it hard to return to the first floor by smashing through the floors.

He placed his hand against the wall at the end, engaging his mind to think.

Little did he know,

Just as he began to think, a familiar voice suddenly transmitted from inside the wall.

It was that somewhat annoying Taoist voice.

"Luo Di, can you hear me? I’ve already set up the formation, once activated it will sever all connections the opponent has with the Corner-like Space in a short time, and the building will return to its original state.

Take this chance to come down and meet up with us."

As soon as the voice faded,

A faint golden light enveloped the entire building, and the wall before Luo Di immediately reverted back to the form of an elevator with full power.

Not only was the elevator restored, but all the floor buttons inside also appeared.

But Luo Di did not touch the buttons; instead, he punched open the elevator’s top cover.

Jumping out,

He slashed with his sword,

Cutting through the steel cables connected to the elevator car!

Dropping at the fastest speed with Luo Di plunging into the depths...
