Chapter 402: Chapter 390: True Death Game

"So satisfied!"

The slaughter in the sushi restaurant seemed to have no impact on Hua Yuan, as if it was a kind of routine in the City of Sin, or the Corner.

She stood up, subconsciously wanting Luo Di to help rub her slightly bulging belly, but considering the servant identity issues, she went to the counter to pay instead.

However, while paying, Hua Yuan felt a bit distressed, repeatedly taking coins from her wallet and confirming the amount.

This meal seemed to shrink her wallet by a full quarter.

After finishing the payment, Hua Yuan whispered to Luo Di beside her, "You must perform well afterward, at least win back the money for the meal."

With that, Hua Yuan took Yu Lu’s hand, and the relationship between the two sisters seemed to have turned from strangers to close friends, walking ahead together.

Luo Di quickly got into character, holding up a gray umbrella and following the two out of the shop.

"The [Real Death Game] is quite a distance from here, and there’s no public transport or subway in the City of Sin. We’ll need to run there, Luo Di, make sure to keep up.

If you accidentally fall behind, it will be very troublesome.

Some monsters have extraordinary skills, able to instantly snatch the badge from your chest and kill you while pretending not to know your identity.

Also, be sure to adjust your umbrella, and don’t get drenched while running, as cleaning up will be time-consuming."

Speaking this, Hua Yuan’s physique also changed, her legs grew longer, and her body turned from weak to shapely.

The school uniform on her body adapted to fit her, using flower stems sprouting from her palm as a hair band to tie up her ponytail.

Watching these actions, Luo Di couldn’t help but recall someone.

Yu Lu remained in a floating state, not changing for the running.

The black umbrella unexpectedly floated automatically above her head,

faintly visible was a hanging rope subtly guiding the umbrella, as if no matter where Yu Lu went, a rope would descend from the sky.

This rope could either make her float or hang the surrounding people as well.

It seemed to be a field effect, invisible yet highly threatening.

Luo Di was glad that such a monster wasn’t his enemy, otherwise, once caught by the rope, some hanging-related disaster would activate, with a very low chance of survival.

He himself didn’t use any abilities, as playing the male servant role, keeping as low-key as possible was the correct choice.

As the two sisters started running ahead,

Luo Di also held the umbrella and ran to catch up.

Though it seemed tough to keep up, the sisters slowed their speed to ensure the distance didn’t exceed ten meters. This range was where the hanging rope could cover, if anyone dared to act against Luo Di, they’d probably be hanged on the spot.

There wasn’t much danger along the way,

The closer they got to the so-called [Real Death Game], the more monsters ran along the street, evidently, many monsters came to this City of Sin to participate in it.

As Luo Di’s footsteps gradually stopped,

a pitch-black building resembling a coffin appeared in front of him, tall in the city’s center, with no windows, completely sealed.

The building’s height rose above the city’s dense fog,

its entrance at the lowest point, similar to airport security, with a total of eight entry gates and a numeric sign at the top indicating the remaining entries for today.

Most monsters in line carried 1~2 servants.

These servants were either monsters that recently entered the Corner or mutated products influenced by disasters, losing humanity; all bearing some restraint device.

At least in the entrance area, they didn’t spot any human agents like Luo Di being treated as servants.

Due to the Sisterhood relation, Luo Di followed them straight through the eighth VIP gate for security check-in, without queuing.

But Luo Di, as a servant, had to undergo a more comprehensive security check; all his clothes needed a removal once, and the inspector even stretched his shape-shifting finger into him for inner inspection.

"The servant presents no issues,

but the necklace on your chest is not allowed into the game area; this accessory far exceeds your rank, affecting game balance.

The living creature forming the umbrella is also prohibited, its visual system overly advanced, similarly affecting balance.

Please, Sisterhood members, mind this, keep banned items for this servant; violation during the game results in immediate death for him, and credibility points deducted for your Sisterhood."

"Alright."

Just as Luo Di prepared to hand the Crow Colt and necklace to Hua Yuan,

he sensed something again, turned instinctively to look sideways, towards other security gates. A familiar figure seemed to have simultaneously passed the security, yet swiftly vanished in the crowd.

Even with the Crow Colt’s vision, it was hard to pinpoint precisely what it was.

"Luo Di, did you see something?"

Hua Yuan followed the gaze, grew several extra flowers to aid in looking but saw nothing.

"Feels like someone is trailing me, unsure if it’s the clown or someone else..."

Upon hearing "clown," Hua Yuan’s eyes widened instantly with rage, but quickly calmed the emotion, "If it’s really that clown, his disguise no matter how clever, cannot possibly join the game himself.

He can only linger outside.

Keep the necklace from Grandma on until you enter, then hand it to me, I’ll take the Crow Colt first."

As Hua Yuan reached out to take the Crow, the latter frantically flapped wings and dodged several entangling flower stems.

The Crow Colt understood it couldn’t follow Luo Di afterward, yet feared Hua Yuan.

After flapping around, it fell on Yu Lu’s shoulder.

The latter didn’t mind, gently extended her cold palm to stroke the crow’s feathers, this chill akin to Hell’s Dark Side, greatly pleased the Crow Colt.

Tsk!

Hua Yuan clicked her tongue, furthering her dislike for the Crow Colt.

"Let’s go, go to the main venue!

Today’s largest Death Game event is opening up, Luo Di, you’re in luck, as long as you don’t die, you should collect plenty of bodies in one go.

Of course, the risk is also at its peak.

If you can’t handle it, remember to tell us in advance, this large-scale game allows for mid-game exit, but I trust Mr. Di will hold on."

"Let’s go see."

Everyone followed the flow of attendees moving forward, reaching the central hall of this building.

The slogan of [Real Death Game] hung mid-air with a draped Skin, lit with tiny bulbs.

Multiple guiding stations here directed guests to different Death Game zones.

And the game Luo Di was participating in took place monthly, the largest scale Death Game.

This game demands extensive venues, numerous props and scenes, as well as a large workforce, and proceeds in multiple rounds.

Called [Death Grand Challenge].

Currently, registrations were underway at the central round counter, numerous guests gathered there, presenting their finest servants to register.

Even if unable to win the grand prize, great satisfaction could be gained from participating.

When the three finally managed to get to the registration desk,

a person wearing a rabbit mask started reexamining Luo Di, then took out a registration sheet.

"Ms. Yu Lu, Ms. Hua Yuan, need to reconfirm with you. Although this game prohibits servants with ’Plant Maturity,’ those at the germination stage aren’t restricted.

Your servant hasn’t germinated yet, still at the initial Seed Stage, fundamentally different in rank, likely to die quickly in the first round.

Need to confirm with you again whether to participate with this servant?"

Due to waiting an hour, Hua Yuan was irritated, directly spat, "Why babble so much, who are you looking down on? Damn it."

"Sorry, Ms. Hua Yuan, I’ll register you right away!

Please take the servant to the waiting area for entrance check; the first challenge game will be solo for the servant, you may enjoy and place your first bet in the audience area."
