Chapter 257: Chapter 246: Solution

Delving deep into the Sisterhood, dealing with the highest-level "Corner Warrant" together.

Luo Di’s current strength has long surpassed the Pseudo-Person limit, and he dares to directly confront even the Monster Avatars that descend upon the surface of the world.

The so-called Murderer group, while each of them counts as a Mature Pseudo-Person with a unique pituitary, their overall standard is probably not even comparable to anyone inside the Sisterhood.

If Hua Yuan were here, just by showing the Invader’s Stance, he could defeat them one by one, even experiencing the tearing pain from the steel door before death.

Luo Di would not mix in any impurities, opting for a swift battle and swift decision.

Inside the orphanage hall,

Seven corpses are scattered in different positions.

Although their degree of mutilation varies, they share one common feature—[Fear].

It seems that just before their death, they suffered extreme fear, to the extent that their entire heads show signs of severe shriveling,

Their mouths, eyes, nostrils, or ear holes all bear traces of being pierced by tentacles.

Hu... Ha...

Luo Di is breathing out ashes, tasting the bloody smell dispersed in the air.

His eyes don’t show excitement but are mixed with disappointment.

At the same time, Luo Di also tasted something wrong.

The level of the so-called Murderer group did not meet his expectations, and not even one was more formidable than Wendy. No wonder they needed to arrange for more than ten people to besiege Wendy.

Too weak, they shouldn’t be this weak.

This sense of incongruity makes Luo Di very uncomfortable.

What he expected, imagined, and awaited was a true massacre. One that not only allowed him to gain insights from the Murderer but also involve a desperate fight like on those holiday islands, and he even hoped to sustain severe injuries.

But they were... too weak.

As the group collapsed, Luo Di’s gaze turned towards the hall stage, expecting the [Venerable] who he thought would attempt to flee, still remained on it, hiding behind the drapery.

Luo Di could feel that the drapery had a certain mental blocking effect, but he didn’t hesitate at all, striding and jumping onto the stage, as any hesitation might give the Venerable a chance to escape.

「Infrared Imaging」

Using the capabilities provided by the camera coat to confirm that there indeed is a humanoid living body behind the curtain.

He could also hear a regular collision sound coming from behind the curtain, a sound very familiar to Luo Di of Huaxia origin, cracking walnuts.

Hurrying forward.

Grasping the curtain,

He ripped it open with one pull! Raising his hand to slay!

However, the descending blade suddenly stops in mid-air, Luo Di’s body abruptly stiffens.

His thoughts are blocked,

His brain unable to send the correct instructions to his body.

The reason the Venerable uses the drapery for concealment is,

First, to ensure one’s own mystique,

Second, to prevent the direct impact of this sight on the children, avoiding overwhelming force causing the children’s brains to crash, or even explode.

Behind the curtain, a woman sitting on the ground, as white as jade wrapped in a white gauze, her black, shiny soft hair falling to the ground like a cushion.

From her skin and physique, she should correspond to a beautiful woman.

But atop her slender neck, there wasn’t the beautiful face one would expect. The entire face was already split open, presenting a "Blood Flesh Corner" form, directly showing the internal pituitary structure.

This is a double pituitary structure Luo Di had never seen before.

Moreover, the pituitaries and the walnuts closely resembled each other.

Twisting together making a series of sounds, it was this sound that prematurely affected Luo Di’s thinking, and upon lifting the curtain and witnessing the "double pituitary" structure, he was completely dominated mentally.

The Venerable did not strike him down directly.

Two arms, white as jade and snake-like, cradled Luo Di’s face.

The Venerable was very interested in the mysterious newcomer in front of her, who also exhibited Murderer traits.

Fingertips slowly tracing Luo Di’s forehead,

A certain ability began to operate.

From the fingertips of the Venerable, structures resembling nerves began to grow, burrowing into the skull, trying to etch a dominating mark in Luo Di’s brain, also attempting to access his memories to understand his origins.

However.

These invading nerves from the Venerable had just approached Luo Di’s brain... Snap!

A metallic sound emanated from within the skull.

The nerve structures approaching the brain were directly clamped and destroyed by something.

The Venerable froze for a moment, immediately conducting a mental probe into Luo Di’s cranial space.

A grotesquely exaggerated scene that he had never seen before was presented, the opponent’s cranial cavity was not merely a simple brain container, rather, it resembled a Punishment Room filled with traps.

Iron wires entwined around the brain tissues, with various beast traps and hook structures set up.

All invasions towards the brain would be blocked by these miniature traps.

There was an even stranger point.

From the time the Venerable invaded, they couldn’t feel the opponent’s ’Consciousness’ at all, unable to establish any form of dominating connection; it was as if the opponent’s consciousness didn’t exist within the brain.

Even if marks of domination were truly left on the surface of the brain, it might still be impossible to actually control Luo Di.

At this moment,

Luo Di, whose connection between brain and body had been severed, his fingers began to move unexpectedly, and sounds of activity could also be heard from the spine.

Even though his eyes were still unfocused, the body started moving.

The released Killing Intent was even more intense than before.

"What!?"

Just as the Venerable thought about escaping... snap! Their head was suddenly grasped.

Creak creak~

Fear tentacles burrowed in, touching the two rotating pituitary structures, releasing fear, squeezing and draining it out.

Luo Di’s gaze gradually became clear, his connection between brain and body restored to normal.

While twisting his neck, he looked down at the corpse below.

Looking at the Venerable’s body devoured by fear, such twin pituitary structures were indeed special and the techniques related to spirituality were indeed powerful. If it wasn’t for Luo Di’s consciousness having been transferred to his spine, he might have truly fallen prey.

But Luo Di still felt something was off.

Too easy.

Such a simple "Venerable", such a simple "Assassin Group", shouldn’t be able to spawn such a huge and stable orphanage nor should they have been able to produce the likes of Wendy.

"I should go find Wendy first to verify the Venerable’s identity..."

Luo Di left the Hall,

Looking at those human head balloons floating in the sky along with the hanging orphan bodies, his expression became complex.

He didn’t immediately appraise Wendy’s acts; the priority was to meet with her first to verify the identity issues regarding the Assassin Group and the Venerable.

When Luo Di arrived at the equipment room, it had already been destroyed.

Utilizing the gray sense immediately informed him that Wendy was fleeing in the direction of their previous rental.

Meanwhile,

A balloon squeezed out from the ruins of the equipment room, at the bottom of its cord, an envelope was entangled.

≮Master, thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I have prepared a special gift for you at home, come back when you are done, okay? ≯

The content of the envelope seemed to declare that everything was really over, the malignant tumor that had grown in Moon City seemed to have been successfully excised by the two.

Luo Di slightly tidied his clothing, cleaning off the bloodstains, and left from the front of the orphanage.

Suddenly, several auras no weaker than that of a Murderer suddenly approached from around the school gates, surrounding Luo Di.

The men in silver suits,

All bigger physically than Luo Di,

The leading bald man wearing sunglasses suddenly smiled, extending his hand to show respect towards Luo Di.

"I presume you are the Special Commissioner Luo Di, specially sent by the Capital to handle special affairs... We are ordinary supervisors from Moon City’s monitoring team.

We had planned to meet you upon your checking in at the room arranged by the Investigation Bureau.

Who knew you would not check in at all, but instead chose to act covertly, investigating the situation in Moon City alone.

I respected your decision and thus did not disturb your actions.

We have been watching this orphanage for a long time and were ready to completely eradicate it next week.

However, Mr. Di, you handled it beforehand, although in a somewhat crude manner which might stir quite the commotion, we are still very grateful.

Thank you for excising such a malignancy from Moon City.

If you’re available, could you come with us? We need to record the details of this incident, and all subsequent information will be submitted to the Capital."

"Monitoring Team?"

"Yes, different from the Investigation Bureau. Our primary responsibility is to monitor the stability of the urban area, seldom intervening actively unless we encounter severe incidents like this orphanage."

"Hold on for a moment, I still have things to handle."

"Then please take this address card, and make sure to visit us whenever you’re free! After all, we’ve also been investigating the orphanage for a long time and there’s a lot of information that needs your input to complete.

Leave the follow-up handling here to us; you go attend to your matters."

A silver card was handed over, as massive arms waved goodbye to Luo Di.
