Chapter 118: Chapter 112: The Gift

[Old People’s Home Hall]

Successive exaggerated architectural cracks appear, already spreading beneath the feet of the two people present.

Yu Ze happily hops away and gestures for Anna to follow him out of the building.

Although Anna wanted to wait and leave with Luo Di, the current situation forced her to evacuate. If such a huge building collapsed, even her body could not withstand it.

The two retreated to the outskirts of the old people’s home, by the still burning remnants of a bus, looking at the teetering building of the old people’s home.

Yu Ze had already started clapping,

"The fellow countryman is really amazing, leaving aside our very limited help, he practically managed to kill this anomaly that could trigger a large-scale regional event on his own."

Anna’s concern, however, was elsewhere,

"If the old people’s home completely collapses, would Luo Di at the very bottom be in danger?"

"Don’t worry! As long as he wasn’t crushed immediately, we would even use our hands to move bricks to pull him out.

According to experience, once a Pseudo-Person dies, the Corner-like space is lifted, and the three of us will be sent out directly, so there’s no big problem."

"Hmm."

"Let me calculate a bit to see if there’s a risk he might be crushed."

Yu Ze again started manipulating the small Liu Ren,

However, the result surprised Yu Ze, his eyes behind his sunglasses wider than ever, turning much more serious than at any prior moment.

He quickly changed the calculation method, recalculating using Nine Gods, but the result was almost the same.

"Hm?!"

...

The mother’s body, like a desiccated corpse, embedded in the ceiling,

The flesh that covered this space all turned dull and lusterless,

Everything had been exhausted because of the birth of this fetus,

According to Isabella’s original plan, all of this had been prepared for her, waiting just five more days, she would have birthed a true full form, encompassing all traits.

Now all was gone.

Only a shriveled split persona of hers fell from the ceiling, crashing on the floor, unable even to crawl fundamentally.

Smack!

A foot smeared with amniotic fluid stepped on her face, occasionally massaging lightly, other times pressing hard.

"Sister Isabella~ you couldn’t have failed to detect even my presence, right? Including me disguising as you, secretly drawing energy within the mother’s body.

Or is it that Luo Di is too attractive to women? Are all your attention focused on him?

However, you did try very hard! Whether it be the flesh reserves, the quality of the amniotic fluid, or the overall nutrient load, everything was more than when I left."

Isabella, though hopelessly irredeemable, still intensely stared at the other, staring at the face she detested, puzzled and hostile.

Puzzled why Wu Wen, who clearly failed in the screening room, would be here.

Regardless of the reason,

Isabella now wanted to survive more than ever,

The only possible method for her survival was verbal threats, making Wu Wen dare not kill her.

"Wu Wen!

If you kill me, the Sisterhood will immediately learn of my death. They will chase you to the ends of the earth, and grandmother will not let you go either."

"Ah? Why?"

Wu Wen looked puzzled, leaning down exaggeratedly, almost pressing her face against the other.

Isabella continued her verbal assault, "You should be well aware that the Sisterhood’s ’Mark’ will identify the murderer, no one can escape it, let alone you."

"Isn’t it~ sister, haven’t you realized yet?"

Wu Wen maintained a puzzled expression, looking down at the pitiful person beneath her feet as if staring at a fool.

Facing the gaze and questioning,

Isabella paused,

She seemed to have realized everything! Even though her body had little vitality left, despair drove her to struggle frantically!

However, such struggles were futile, the foot on her face did not move an inch.

"It seems sister you’ve finally figured it out, I am indeed born from you!

I am you.

Your identity is quite useful, I need to borrow this dual identity to make a good fortune and then go play in the Sisterhood.

Do you remember when we first met?

We drank a lot, decided to be BFFs for life! Now part of you remains in my body, I will continue to live on, sister you can rest in peace.

Thanks again sister for providing the collapsible space and the aging curse, I quite like these two abilities."

"Impossible! Pseudo-People cannot devour each other’s pituitary... you..."

The toe wrapped in mucus suddenly plunged into her mouth, obstructing the throat, stifling the words.

Isabella, before dying, looked at Wu Wen one last time.

The opponent’s face, seemingly fresh and succulent, seemed to hide sewing marks, and she also smelled a searing scent similar to Luo Di’s.

But before she could clear it all up.

An aging energy transmitted from Wu Wen’s toes straight into her body.

Isabella aged rapidly and completely turned into ashes, not even her basic pituitary gland remained.

Or rather, her pituitary had long since shriveled with the mother body, completely inherited by this newborn class leader.

Lala la~

Humming a cheerful little tune,

Hands behind her back,

Stepping in a dance-like stride back to the place piled with rotting flesh,

Wu Wen only needs to lightly step on the surface of this rotten flesh with her soles, and the nutrition is absorbed in a short time, quickly turning into shrunken pieces of jerky.

Buried underneath, Luo Di was also revealed, but due to his severe injuries, he had already passed out.

The moment she saw the other party,

Wu Wen also completely withdrew from the joy of rebirth,

Her expression seemed to return to what it was before,

No longer wearing a disguised smile on her face, but a faint smile.

She moved forward,

Knelt down on both knees,

Leaning over to press her lips against the cheek,

...

"Luo Di, get up~ Your classmates are here to see you."

Opening his eyes, what he saw was the familiar bedroom, and the mask sketch designed by Luo Di himself next to the study desk.

The hands of the alarm clock by the bed were almost reaching noon,

Pushing open the door,

The sister just came out of her room, apparently aware that guests were coming today, so she had put on a nice long dress.

By now, plenty of courses were already on the dining table, along with freshly bought coconut juice and orange juice, welcoming the guests at home.

Wearing an apron, mother just came out of the kitchen to open the door for guests.

"Come in~ The house isn’t big, feel free to sit anywhere."

Class leader Wu Wen, leading Gao Yuxuan along with Anna and the shy Xiao Ying to visit.

"Thank you, auntie. This is a gift for you, uncle, and sister too."

The class leader put a necklace on Luo Di’s mother and then handed another tie gift box to the father who was busy in the kitchen, then finally returned to the living room area.

"Luo Di! Happy Birthday, your gift will be a little late... This must be your sister, she’s beautiful!"

The class leader immediately went up and held hands with the sister, gifting a specially prepared lipstick set, just like a distant relative.

Gao Yuxuan also walked in, carrying a birthday cake in one hand and lightly patting Luo Di’s back with the other.

"Happy Birthday."

Looking at this scene, for some reason, Luo Di felt it was very familiar, as if it had happened before.

Everyone quickly gathered around the dining table, and mother looked at her son with satisfaction, happy that he had made so many friends.

"By the way, Luo Di, there’s a plate of steamed sausages that I forgot to bring out, can you get it?"

"Okay."

This request was equally familiar and somewhat uncomfortable for Luo Di.

But he still subconsciously went to the kitchen to look for the so-called sausages.

No matter how much he searched,

He could never find the sausages his mother mentioned,

Suddenly,

He seemed to remember something, flashes of blood-red memory emerged, and it seemed something terrifying was about to happen outside.

With that thought, Luo Di rushed out of the kitchen.

However,

The blood-red scenes flashing in his brain did not occur, everyone was still happily having lunch.

Mother slapped her thigh, "Ah! The sausages are probably on the shoe cabinet. I might have tossed them there when I opened the door."

Luo Di followed his mother’s cue to the shoe cabinet by the door,

The sausages were indeed here,

Alongside hung two pictures,

One was a family portrait taken years ago,

And the other was a photo of the four friends at a hotpot restaurant,

A slight smile hung on Luo Di’s face,

He returned to the dining table,

Eating and chatting,

Looking and laughing,

This setting seemed to have never existed in this home before, and time also quickly passed amidst laughter,

Click~ The light turned off!

A birthday cake with eighteen candles brought by the class leader to the front of the table,

Everyone sang the birthday song together, celebrating Luo Di’s birthday.

The class leader also sat next to him after the song, whispering:

"I haven’t given you your present yet."

"What present?"

Luo Di observed and didn’t notice anything in the class leader’s hands.

As he curiously wondered what the gift could be,

Soft and warm lips pressed against his cheek,

Gentle whispering sounds penetrated his ear from the cheek,

"Happy Birthday, Luo Di..."

The moment the lips parted, the scene broke,

Luo Di woke up again,

But this time, it wasn’t a shock awakening, but a natural waking.

Although all he saw was the cold hospital room, his body felt warmer than ever...
