Deep in the Living
Chapter 142 - 136 Eye

Predicting that tonight’s game would last quite a while, the team leader specifically bought a variety of exquisite food from the Underground.

But as soon as she walked into the private room, her facial expression changed in an instant, the features on her face seemingly shifting slightly, thankfully obscured by the rubber clothes.

She quickly adjusted herself, turning that expression into one of surprise like that of seeing an old friend.

In the room, it wasn’t just Shea,

Another sister had also come,

A very troublesome one, very likely to cause an exposure of identities.

From the back she looked like a girl dressed in a sleeveless long dress (pure white), less than one meter sixty in height.

Her exposed forearms and legs below the dress were incredibly slender, slender to the point of appearing malnourished.

Asian,

Long black hair extending past the shoulder blades and almost reaching the waist.

Her black hair mostly obscured her face from the front, yet it consistently revealed an eye, an eye full of bloodshot vessels, an eye that would invoke fear just by looking at it.

"Oh my, Eye Sister is here too!"

The other party did not speak, perhaps incapable of speech, instead it was Shea who took off her knight helmet and explained.

"Little Eye just happened to be passing by, heard you came out of the retirement home, and brought a Preparatory Partner, so she followed over.

It’s good, Little Eye can see more clearly, ensuring that the partner you choose has no issues with their identity.

This year’s gathering is rather special, it’s best not to have any problems with personnel screening."

"Eye Sister is still the caring one, I was actually planning to introduce Mr. Di to everyone at the gathering, but you two sisters already found out."

The team leader, imitating Isabella’s poise and personality, tried to get close to this Eye Sister.

Just as their distance closed to one meter, the back of Eye Sister’s head writhed, the black hair covering the back of her head shifted slightly, revealing an eye that stared intensely behind her.

As if penetrating,

As if scanning,

As if warning!

Faced with such a gaze,

The team leader showed no change in expression or hesitation in her movements, and continued to embrace her, with her palms even brushing over the other’s body.

After a moment, the eye that had grown out of the back of her head gradually closed.

Eye Sister seemed to trust her, completely indifferent to the team leader’s intimate contact.

What no one knew was that under the team leader’s rubber clothes, her back was already drenched in cold sweat.

Among the Sisterhood, one of the team leader’s biggest concerns was Eye Sister, not because of her strength, but because her eyes could very likely see through her disguise.

Fortunately, during these days, the team leader had never ceased imitating Isabella.

Even in her interactions with Luo Di, she completely acted out Isabella’s demeanor and gestures, a full-on identity immersion.

Since she was not exposed,

The team leader also let go of Eye Sister’s body and displayed all the food she had brought.

"I brought some tasty treats, so we can eat and watch at the same time. I didn’t expect Eye Sister to be back, otherwise I would have bought some more drinks.

I’ll ask the servers here to purchase some on my behalf."

Just as the team leader was about to call someone over,

Eye Sister produced a large bottle of cola from nowhere, pouring it towards her eyes like eye drops, using the gap between the eyeball and socket to absorb the drink, achieving consumption.

Faint sounds of hiccuping could be heard from beneath the hair.

It seemed she had no mouth to ingest food traditionally; the so-called eating, was her drinking various beverages rich in sugar, protein, and vitamins with her eyes.

Seeing that things were settled with Eye Sister, the team leader immediately turned to the key figure of tonight.

"Right, Shea! You haven’t made it too difficult, have you? My Mr. Di was hard to come by, don’t go against the rules just because you’re jealous."

Shea spoke very candidly, "At first, I was prepared to grant the other party some mutation viruses.

However, tonight’s ’candidates’ are much better than I expected, they already meet the assessment criteria. I merely injected two kinds of viruses that have no effect on him."

One kind is the "Synchronization Virus" that allows me to experience fighting from a first-person perspective.

Another is the "Cleaning Virus" which can remove drugs from the opponent’s body."

"Remove what?"

"That Pseudo-Person was injected with a Suppressant which limited the connection between ’Thought Corner’ and ’individual’ to a certain extent, reducing the completeness of the Fear Embodiment.

I merely wanted him to reach his optimal state."

Such an explanation only piqued the interest of the team leader, "Oh? What kind of Pseudo-Person is the opponent?"

"A death freak, the type I detest."

...

As the host pronounces the name of "Death Row Prisoner K."

The Pseudo-Person passage was opened.

Handcuffs, leg irons, and neck collars were used to bind him all around.

To create the atmosphere and highlight the death row inmate’s characteristics, a burlap sack was placed over his head and a bright red ’K’ was inscribed.

The Pseudo-Person was also dressed in black and white striped prison garments.

This person had neither the robust physique of the Cockroach Man from the previous fight nor the wild aura of the first match’s Werewolf.

Judging from his physique, he was just an ordinary person, with no visible signs of concretization.

The hands that were exposed were very clean, almost feminine in their delicacy and whiteness.

Some local spectators at the scene seemed to remember the incident from years past when they saw this death row inmate make an appearance. The killer’s method was so brutal that it was initially thought to be the work of a Pseudo-Person, causing widespread panic.

After such a brutal criminal was arrested, it was surprising that he wasn’t executed but appeared here as a Pseudo-Person after more than a year.

As the mood at the scene was about right, the host moved behind the Pseudo-Person.

He grabbed the cloth bag on the top of the prisoner’s head and tore it off in one move.

When this death row inmate’s face was revealed, the whole audience fell silent, even Luo Di pursed his lips slightly and became cautious.

He didn’t have a particularly fierce look; rather, he was "incomplete."

As a prisoner, his hair had been shaved off long ago, and judging from his face shape, he even had a feminine melon seed face.

Only his mouth remained intact while the rest of his facial organs had been destroyed.

1. The entire nose had been cut off with a sharp instrument.

2. The eye sockets were empty and had been filled with newly grown flesh.

3. The ears were cut off, with obvious burn marks between the ear holes, and new growth of flesh also blocked the ear canals.

4. Although the mouth existed, it was sealed with a soft metal tape.

To let the audience know that this was not a case of prison abuse, the host had to explain. Although, even if it were real abuse, these spectators would be very supportive.

In their view, the only reason such scum was not executed was that they should continue to be tortured perpetually, enduring the suffering that his victims had faced.

"The appearance of Death Row Prisoner K was self-inflicted.

While imprisoned, unable to satisfy his urge to kill, he was forced to destroy his own senses in an attempt to suppress an urge more dreadful than drug addiction.

Even without seeing, smelling, or hearing living people, retaining only the mouth for eating and breathing,

his desire to torture continued to grow and finally broke through the limits, forming a ’Thought Corner.’

While detained, he killed three armed prison guards and was then suppressed by an investigator and sent to the research bureau.

He belongs to a rare mature special kind. To ensure fairness in this fight, we have injected him with a Suppressant, restraining 50% of his Fear Embodiment."

Just as the host was explaining the situation with his face,

Luo Di suddenly noticed the prisoner’s mouth was quite restless, something inside was moving, even making the metal tape that sealed the mouth bulge out.

It didn’t seem like a tongue, but something else.

Then, the host suddenly turned his gaze towards Luo Di’s side:

"The opponent arranged for Mr. Di this time is obviously stronger than the previous two matches. To ensure fairness, I will reveal the concretization information about Death Row Prisoner K in advance.

The keywords are: [Fingers], [Partial Spiritual Body]."
