Chapter 344: Chapter 332: Production and Incubation

Birth.

In Hell, this is an extremely easy and common occurrence, as demons naturally possess strong bodies, especially after gaining a system, they can further grow.

Gestation and childbirth are as simple as breathing.

Even if the fetus in the abdomen experiences umbilical cord around the neck, one can easily handle it by reaching in.

Thus, Hell Hospital doesn’t have a maternity ward and there’s basically no medical position related to childbirth.

However,

Today’s Repair Center welcomed a special birthing case, and the subject turned out to be male. Not only that, this male is a patient within the hospital, a patient injured by an ancestor and undergoing treatment in the intensive care unit.

Recovering a month ahead of schedule, his body even sprouted a young fetus.

Since there’s no maternity ward, the patient was transferred to the neurosurgery room, operated on by a renowned surgeon personally.

The so-called operation is not done with one’s own hands but with slender nerves growing between the eye sockets, the ends of which have proliferative tissues resembling surgical knives, with precision below micrometer level.

Luo Di was not lying on the operating table but suspended in mid-air by several sensory nerves, which both immobilize the body and monitor its condition in real-time.

His abdomen was fully bulging, and something could be seen moving beneath the skin.

Once it was confirmed that the fetus was mature, a caesarean section began.

Cutting the abdomen,

even the experienced lead surgeon was slightly stunned upon seeing the scene, as what was removed from the abdomen was not a young body but a huge egg colored like flesh.

The veins on the surface of the egg raised the trident symbol representing the "Corner."

While carefully observing the symbol that didn’t belong in Hell, the doctor felt a mysterious chill, as if what was about to hatch from the egg would be something that instilled fear in him, possibly threatening him.

As the doctor sewed up the incision on Luo Di’s abdomen, he watched the strange egg, unable to determine whether to cut it open or await its natural hatching.

Then,

the severely malnourished yet gradually recovering Luo Di, assisted by the "Old Spine," seemed to discern the doctor’s dilemma, proactively suggesting, "The surgery is sufficient here, I’ll take the egg to the Grand Theater for hatching."

"Hmm."

David Dai, the head of the Grand Theater, was pacing anxiously outside the delivery room.

Firstly anxious to check out the Otherworldly presence within Luo Di’s abdomen, secondly eager to return and ponder over the film equipment brought over.

The moment the surgery room door opened,

David was even more excited than during a theatrical performance, quickly coming forward, only to see Luo Di carrying a large incubator.

"Is this... an egg?"

"Once we return to the headquarters at the Grand Theater, at the right moment, she should hatch naturally. Let’s go, boss."

"Let’s go~ I’ll head back first to work on the film equipment you brought over. If this ’Squad Leader’ stabilizes, bring her to see me anytime."

"The Grand Theater welcomes these creatures who enjoy hiding their true selves and performing disguises, whether they belong to us or not. As long as they can create theatrical value, I’m all for it."

"Okay."

As Luo Di prepared to take the elevator to the top floor and then a cable car to leave,

David’s curtain eye socket opened once more, yet unlike before.

A roll of red carpet extended from the depths of the eye socket out, coincidentally laying before Luo Di.

"Step on."

Following the boss’s direction, as Luo Di stepped on the red carpet, the hospital corridors gradually blurred... and as he walked along the carpet, his vision was increasingly dominated by David’s curtain eye socket.

He even felt as if he were approaching the curtain step by step, entering deep into David’s eye socket.

Inadvertently, he directly returned to the Grand Theater, standing on the stage.

"Space?"

David lightly patted Luo Di’s shoulder with a hand, "Quickly follow me, the actors’ dormitory is right behind the curtain, eating, living, and pre-show makeup preparations all take place inside.

I won’t bother explaining in detail, you’ll get used to it slowly."

Behind the stage is a vast maze-like area,

If you’re a certified internal employee of the Grand Theater, you can get a direct map of the labyrinth in the Game Brain, marking areas like the lodging, dressing room, props room, rehearsal area, and David’s office deep in your mind.

"I’m off to sort out the film, you rest up."

"Okay, boss."

David left quickly with a fly-rubbing hands gesture, even picking up his pace, his plump body trotting continuously.

Luo Di also followed the path on the Game Brain, gradually quickening his steps... after three turns in the white maze, he finally arrived at the dormitory arranged for him.

Nerves hanging on the door can automatically identify individual identity.

Vivid neurons moved the latch, the door opened... a room fitting the style of Evil Play and Grand Theater unfolded before him.

Nerve-connected bulbs hung in multiple areas within the room, glowing through bioelectricity, controllable through the Game Brain on/off for each bulb.

The floor, desk, wardrobe, and other furniture were all made from a type of dark wood grown on the Dark Side.

The most expensive and unique piece of furniture is the "Bed."

Made of brain material mixed with a special building material, after stirring and cooling in fixed proportions it solidifies, with no unpleasant odor but faintly visible brain patterns.

No need for sheets and blankets,

The bed itself adjusts the temperature according to the sleeper’s needs, importantly greatly improving sleep quality, even charging the Game Brain during sleep.

However, Luo Di saw another use for this bed, he opened the incubator, and placed the lively large egg marked with the Corner symbol on the bed.

Using the Game Brain, he adjusted the bed’s temperature to 37°C.

As time gradually passed,

The top of the egg vaguely showed signs of breathing, gradually unfolding.

An arm covered with newborn fluid stretched out from the top, slowly supporting the whole body as it climbed out, black hair fell at the shoulders, just covering the chest.

This body was all too familiar to Luo Di; it was the eighteen-year-old body of a girl named Wu Wen.

When the girl’s body was fully revealed, the white egg used for hatching morphed into a form-fitting outfit tightly adhering to her body, very akin to the former investigator battle dress.

"Phew... Indeed~ Different from the World Anchor of the Fifth Hospital, to come here one must have a Hell Body as a vessel.

It’s not easy to imitate a body acknowledged by Hell’s will, fully relying on you, Luo Di, to provide genetic factors.

In a sense, I might even count as your daughter."

"Squad Leader... what exactly do you want?"

"I figured since you’re in Hell, and within forces related to disguise, I’d come to find you?

Now I possess a temporary Hell Shell, maybe I’m considered a demon?

Perhaps I can get a Hell Item related to the brain?

That way, maybe I can further refine my disguise, give my ’pituitary’ a Greenhouse unlike other monsters."

"Discuss it with the boss later... By the way, do you know all my experiences in Hell?"

Squad Leader touched her chin with her fingers, "I can only sense a rough context when your emotions fluctuate strongly and your consciousness becomes turbulent because I left part of my essence in your body. As for what specifically happened, of course I can’t know.

You’re not doing anything weird behind my back, right?

Also, isn’t it just the right time for me to come? If you wish to act here, I wouldn’t mind playing the lead actress.

After all, acting often involves kissing scenes... I wouldn’t want you to kiss the enchanting demon warmly here, even on this bed engaging in deeper exchanges that go beyond brain surface-level."

"Uh..."

Luo Di pinched his nose bridge with helplessness as the Squad Leader in front of him vanished.

The presence came to his back, turning around he saw the other had stripped off clothing and entered the bathroom, a hand still covered in damp mucus was gently beckoning from the door side.

"Quickly come, Luo Di, I’ve just hatched, my body is sticky. Giving your daughter a bath shouldn’t be too much, right?"
