Chapter 255: Chapter 244 Disguise

Sleeping in until naturally waking up,

he felt an unprecedented surge of energy.

For the first time in the orphanage environment, Luo Di completely let his guard down and stretched his body, while glancing at the blonde girl still standing by the window observing.

"You didn’t sleep?"

"Replying to the master, no, I didn’t sleep. Although I am certain that they won’t discover this place too soon, I still need to stay alert..." Wendy began, suddenly realizing something mid-sentence, her body trembling slightly, "Master, are you concerned about me?"

Luo Di did not respond but changed the question: "How is the situation?"

"To be honest, it’s not great.

I thought that the death of a teacher like Kimberly would sound the alarm for the entire organization, but the Venerable didn’t rush here immediately, he just utilized the Barrier to seal off the orphanage after the incident.

It wasn’t until this morning that the Venerable leisurely arrived at the orphanage, turning the search into a game for all the children, allowing the Murderer group to lurk in every corner.

If I’m not wrong, he must have employed the [Local Area Network]."

"Explain."

"Master, do you remember what’s inside my brain? The Venerable has a ’dominating mark’ set up in everyone’s brain, which works not only as a bomb but also networks.

It can connect the brains of all Imprinters within a certain range, forming a local area network.

The Venerable can not only access the brain information of everyone but also share his perception abilities with everyone.

If a child notices the anomaly in the equipment room, we will be exposed."

"Oh."

Luo Di’s expression didn’t change much; he had already guessed that a person who could create such an organization must possess special methods, and he had seen mind-related superpowers on a holiday island before.

Such colors, vibrant and diverse.

"For the Venerable to maintain such a network, he must need to be somewhere within the orphanage, right? Do you know where?"

Wendy’s mind turned rapidly, the orphanage was too familiar to her, "To achieve the best effect of the local network, the Venerable must be at the very center of the entire orphanage, there’s only one place [Hall].

Master... You’re not thinking of heading straight there, are you?

This place is quite distant from the Hall, and you would also need to cross the vast playground.

Even if you are incredibly strong, Master, you would still be exhausted by this_human sea tactic, and the mental shocks from the Venerable are also very formidable."

"All you need is for Wendy to deliberately expose yourself, drawing their attention as much as possible. I will naturally find a way to get close, just do your part well."

Wendy still looked worried, "Master~ Even if you do manage to reach the Hall successfully, there..."

Before she could finish,

a grey hue flashed through Wendy’s brain, as if in the next second Luo Di would split open her head, scaring her into silence.

"Can you do your part well?"

"Yes!"

As the grey pressure disappeared, Luo Di began doing basic preparatory movements, twisting his joints while issuing another request:

"Also, try not to kill any children, can you manage that?"

"I can... but... I can!"

Wendy wanted to say more but quickly shut her mouth.

The action was about to begin, Luo Di started summoning the part between the pituitary that belonged to [class leader], a pure form of Disguise, fundamentally different from Wendy’s balloon-induced exterior Disguise.

His presence gradually faded, even blending into the surroundings.

"Master! When did you have this ability... I’ve never seen you use it before.

I knew you seemed familiar with ’Disguise’, the first time you used my mannequin balloon, you quickly adapted to the disguise identity, so you are really powerful. Is it because this ability doesn’t match your straightforward slaughtering method, that’s why you’ve been hiding it and not using it?"

Luo Di did not respond, but focused on the current Disguise, about to commence the operation related to wrapping up the orphanage.

"Wendy, I’m ready~ start exposing yourself now."

If it were before, she would have immediately complied with Mr. Di’s request.

But now she hesitated, just puckering her lips while standing in front of Luo Di, seemingly troubled about something but too embarrassed to speak.

Luo Di immediately performed a color check, confirming that the grey servility was taking effect.

"You..."

"Master~ I have a question before the action! I promise it won’t delay the operation, and currently, no one has discovered the abnormal situation in the equipment room."

Through the noticeable grey, Luo Di could clearly feel Wendy’s exceptionally excited brain emotions, even more excited than when she returned to the orphanage, and happened to glance at the dark circles formed from her not sleeping.

"Ask."

"During the time you spent with your master, you called out ’squad leader’ three times in your sleep; they must be someone very important to you.

However, it’s strange based on my early tracking and observation of you, you lived entirely alone. You didn’t make any contact with the opposite sex, neither through phone calls nor social media apps.

I want to know before this operation, who are they to you?

If the master doesn’t want to answer, just refuse me outright~ I am simply curious to know what kind of person has left such a deep impression in your heart."

"Did I mention it three times?"

Luo Di only remembered vaguely waking up in the dormitory, mistaking blonde Wendy for the squad leader once disguised as a waitress and unconsciously calling out the name.

"Yes~ The last time was last night when you were sleeping."

"Is that so? They are my... partner."

Luo Di pondered for a long time and finally chose a word used by the sisterhood.

The word "partner" exploded like a bomb in Wendy’s body, making her incredibly excited, as balloon-like blisters erupted over her body, "Wow! Master, do you actually have a girlfriend? Why isn’t she with you? How far have you two gone? What does she look like...?"

Wendy suddenly realized she was asking too many questions, hastily covered her mouth, and used the grey matter between her brains to suppress herself, subconsciously wanting to kneel down and apologize.

"This disguise is related to her."

Luo Di provided just that bit of related information and spoke no more.

And Wendy instantly understood, "No wonder Master, you could see through my disguise in prison at a glance. It turns out you’ve encountered Pseudo-People who are even better at disguise. Since you are always acting alone in Moon City, she must have gone to the Corner by now, huh?

I really want to see what your girlfriend looks like, what kind of woman can be so memorable to you.

How envious... If only I also..."

"It’s time to start the operation."

"Okay."

...

The children were conducting a search throughout the school grounds.

A child in charge of the playground area coincidentally arrived in front of the equipment room; unable to open it due to the Iron Gate, he climbed up the window to peer inside.

His sharp observational skills, honed by daily training, allowed this eight-year-old child to spot the balloon hidden under the equipment rack; although only a little was visible, he captured it.

"Let’s take a look inside..."

The Venerable’s mental transmission reached the child’s brain,

just as he was thinking of climbing through the window into the equipment room.

Da da!

Wendy’s face, painted with clown makeup, suddenly appeared at the window, giving the child a jumpscare, but he managed to keep his balance and didn’t fall backwards.

Not only that,

This child also simultaneously pulled out a dagger and stabbed towards the clown in front of him, with a speed that could easily pierce through an adult’s eyeball and penetrate the brain.

Pop!

When the sharp dagger hit the clown’s head, it exploded like a balloon, spraying meat-colored balloon fragments all over the child’s face.

It was just a "fake head" made out of balloons.

The real Wendy was still hiding beneath the balloon.

Da da~

Wendy revealed her real head, acting before the boy’s dagger could pierce through, grabbed his face firmly and snapped it with force, Ka! Directly breaking his cervical vertebrae causing his lower body to become paralyzed.

Master said not to kill, but he didn’t say not to disable.

Wendy held the child’s head like a telephone, bringing her face as close as possible.

"Hello, hello, hello! Venerable sir, you must be able to hear right? This is Miss Wendy calling!

Long time no see~ You’re still so annoying, letting these little devils search for my location while hiding away like a coward.

Are you that scared of me? What a waste.

It’s okay.

After I kill all the elite you’ve trained, I will personally cut off your head then use it to ********!

Forget it~ I can’t let you die that easily.

I’d rather disable you first, then lock you in the basement, providing new tortures daily.

Don’t get caught by me, or you’re definitely in for a treat!"
