Chapter 339: Chapter 327 Gambling

Long before Luo Di stepped down from the cable car and set foot on the top floor of the Repair Center, he had already heard the call from the original body.

A smear of gray appeared in his view,

spreading in the elevator area,

extending in the corridors,

and lying in front of the door to the intensive care unit.

The original body seemed very eager to merge again with Luo Di’s consciousness, as if there were very important matters that required Luo Di’s personal involvement.

When following the head nurse to push open the door of the ward, sealed with a strong enchantment, and entering the intensive care unit, where there was no barrier between him and the original body anymore.

The connection formed,

this connection was even stronger than anticipated.

Not until their gazes met did Luo Di directly obtain the real situation of the original body, understanding the true reason why he did not die from such severe injuries.

"The reason these substances did not take my life is that my original body had already adapted... or rather, these substances were deliberately left inside me by my ancestors, greatly assisting my upcoming Demon Ascension and the development in Hell."

After learning about the situation of his body, Luo Di decisively requested to halt the treatment.

But the head nurse immediately showed a puzzled expression, even mixed with disdain and hostility.

Just as the mouth full of syringe needles was about to say something, it was suddenly blocked by a plump, suit-clad arm.

"Hold on, let me talk to Mr. Di alone..."

"Of course, Mr. David."

The head nurse’s expression immediately became amiable, she stepped back voluntarily, even took out two cotton balls from her body and stuffed her ears.

The plump body leaned close in front of Luo Di, occupying most of his view, standing between him and the original body.

It was the first time David, the boss, extended his own arm to place it on a shoulder, compared to the slender arm grown from the theater’s curtain eyes, it was more than ten times heavier.

The weight on the shoulder nearly crushed Luo Di’s corpse that had been brought from the theater.

Also coming was an entirely different oppressive aura, completely unlike the feeling during the chat in the Grand Theater.

Luo Di felt like he was placed in between dinner plates, becoming the meal of David.

David’s curtain eyes opened again, and it seemed like a banquet was ongoing inside; all the little people attending the banquet were staring at him with their eyes wide open.

"Mr. Di, why did you suddenly request to stop the treatment? What did you perceive?

We are family now, rest assured, I will keep your secrets. I might even comply with your requests and not disclose it to the hospital.

I believe you also felt it, because you did not pay the admission fee earlier, according to our local laws and regulations, a significant part of the ownership rights to your original body is now held by the hospital.

After all, you were ’picked back up’."

Luo Di did not dwell on whom the original body belonged to, because his current situation was not eligible to discuss such matters, and it was already good that they did not kill him directly.

Therefore, he directly addressed the crux of the issue.

"I speculate that the reason why the ancestral remnants did not harm me is that they were a gift from my ancestors."

"Hmm?" Such an explanation made David widen his eyes, and the little people inside his eyes also widened their eyes.

"A gift from the ancestors... If your judgment is wrong, the consequences could be very severe.

If you let your consciousness return to the original body now, you might suffer from the invasion of the ancestral remnants, thus beginning a regressive frenzy.

I, both for the sake of hospital safety,

and out of consideration for the safety of our own staff, cannot allow you to do this.

I can provide funds for the hospital to bring out more siphoning syringes to absorb the remnants, probably clearing them completely in ten days. After that, you can safely return to your original body and start our movie deal."

"Boss, please let me try..."

Luo Di changed his address to him, bowing his head proactively.

This sudden change made David take a deep breath, "If you make a mistake, I will have to take the blame... But, seeing the movie entity ten days earlier might indeed be worth the risk.

How should I decide?

Let’s do this~ Luo Di, guess a size."

"Guess the size?"

Luo Di looked again at David’s eyes, and noticed the little people attending the banquet inside somehow took out dice, and the dining table turned into a gambling table.

He never imagined that an important life decision would need to be determined by dice,

If he guessed correctly, all the ancestral materials inside his body would be expelled, making his meeting with the Door Ancestor completely meaningless.

Moreover, the hospital gave a strange feeling, always feeling like if the original body were kept here for long-term treatment, there would be some very severe consequences.

"...Large!"

"Alright."

David lightly tapped his temple with his finger, the little man inside his eyes responded to the command and stepped on the gambling table mechanism, the transparent dice cup shook, and Luo Di’s heart also thumped rapidly.

3,

4,

6,

Big!

Nice! Luo Di looked at the final dice numbers, involuntarily clenched his fists, and even let out a slight sound.

David, however, still stared at him with a smile, "How is it? Isn’t the feeling of gambling exhilarating? From your expression, I can tell this is your first time taking part in such a gambling decision that could alter your life.

Doing this occasionally could be good for brain health, even stirring up the essence blood lying dormant in corners of the body."

"It’s alright..."

Luo Di indeed tasted a very different kind of thrill, completely different from fighting for life and death, with no need to exert all his strength, no need to contemplate tactics, just a single judgment that would determine the direction of his life afterward.

"Our city also has dedicated casinos, and the owner there is quite interesting too. If you have stable work later and don’t need to pay medical bills anymore, consider visiting.

But don’t borrow money for gambling. If you lose everything, you have to come back, okay?"

"We’ll see~ I guess I won this time... Or did you plan for me to win from the start?"

"Who knows?" David touched his stomach, the curtain between his eyes closed, and then he turned to a nearby head nurse, "Please stop all current medical procedures, just ensure the basic life cycle is maintained.

Next, Luo Di’s clone will make contact with the original.

I will take all responsibility for any consequences."

The head nurse, though very dissatisfied, couldn’t express it in front of David,

"Mr. David, you must realize..."

Before she finished speaking, a greasy palm already covered the nurse’s mouth, the intense pressure making her tremble all over.

"I know everything, I understand everything~ no need for you to explain to me.

Quickly stop extracting from the ancestral material, from now on just leave it to Mr. Di to handle."

"Alright..."

After a series of communications by the head nurse, all neural activities sucking on Luo Di’s original body ceased.

David also turned to Luo Di’s side, making a welcoming gesture:

Meanwhile, Luo Di had long returned to a face-to-face state with his original body, step by step moving forward, approaching this incredibly familiar yet somewhat strange and incomplete body.

He did not reach out to touch,

Did not bring the bodies together,

Nor did any strange fusion occur,

There was only a faint shade of color forming between the two.

Creak creak~

The nearly corroded, battered brain of the original body began to grow gray tentacles.

As such structures appeared, the head nurse quickly went into combat mode, but was stopped by David.

"Shush! Don’t make a sound. This is a crucial moment of union for Mr. Di. This thing, how can it look like an ancestral product, it must be something from their world,

It tastes of Fear. Mr. Di surely wasn’t lying, he indeed meets the criteria to play a Murderer."

The fat on David’s face squeezed out a rare happy expression as his business smell had already sensed a money-making opportunity, a chance for high-quality theater.

At present,

Gray tentacles growing out of the original body’s brain, reaching toward the temporary corpse where Luo Di’s Consciousness resided, clustering around the face... Buzz! A familiar sound of a chainsaw came.

The surface of the tentacles even developed a rotating sawtooth structure.

This biological chainsaw was now aimed at the neck...

Sizzling!

Blood splattered,

Decapitation, the headless corpse fell heavily to the ground.

Without the support of the Game Brain, the whole body reverted back to its once shriveled and powerless form.

The tentacles wrapped around the severed head, carrying the Game Brain, and slowly retracted back to the original body.

Meanwhile, Luo Di’s own Consciousness had "completely lost" in this process, sunk into darkness, even had a brief dream.

He dreamed again of that night of high school Admissions, dreamed of the most familiar classroom of Senior Class 5.

He heard the sound of a head being cut off again, also happening in the dark Corner of the classroom.

But this time the sound was very clear, as if it was happening to himself.

Crack!

Head chopped off.

The class president, still maintaining her usual gentle smile despite the bloodied face,

Delicately held Luo Di’s head in front of her.

Exchange and dialogue,

"Luo Di, the feeling of getting your head cut off is pretty good, isn’t it?"
