192: Chapter 184: Symbols 192: Chapter 184: Symbols After coming out of the cave, the encounters and experiences combined with the words of the gentleman fish.
Both Luo Di and Hua Yuan had a rough idea in their hearts.
The entity hidden deep in this island might really be conducting an [experint], and it specifically targets the Corner.
The creature that was created is practically the natural enemy of the Pseudo-Person and can even inhibit the effectiveness of the Corner’s power.
It is estimated that the Monster Avatar itself is probably deeper in the Corner than even the grandmother.
Since the Warrant points to such a “big shot,” Hua Yuan is even less worried.
In her view, since things have already gone this far, actively cooperating with the other party’s experint is the best choice.
Thinking of this, Hua Yuan raised a question:
“Can the reward only be one out of three?
There are two of us, after all.”
“The rule is that you can only choose one.
Don’t even try to snatch it from !
Otherwise, I will have a real headache,” the gentleman fish’s hand, tucked in his pocket, began to scratch again.
Hua Yuan’s face turned again, casting a seductive look towards Luo Di, “Can I have this reward?”
“Your contribution was greater anyway.”
Luo Di was not at all interested in the so-called reward.
In his view, this so-called ‘island experint’ might have been planned from the very start, even the exposure of the island and the formation of the Warrant could have been designed by the Monster behind it.
Deliberate exposure,
Using the chanism of the [Corner Warrant], draw a group of top Pseudo-People to the island, then use this group to test his creations, to determine if they can suppress the Corner.
As for Luo Di himself, he seed more like an “extra” presence.
The [Calamity] might affect him not just superficially, but might induce deeper changes in him, which is why he started having nightmares from the first day while the sisters didn’t have any issues.
Since he is not a player, it’s better not to touch anything related to the experint.
“If the true plan of the island is as I speculated, I am indeed a thorn in the eye of the Monster Avatar, an unexpected parater that interferes with his experint.
If the other party has a nasty character, they might eliminate at all costs.
This is also why I started having nightmares as soon as I ca to the island, and nearly had an accident in the cave.
But it still feels a bit strange, as if there are details I’m not aware of… Let’s try to stay alive as much as possible, my spinal saturation has already exceeded 75%, and I should strive to reach full saturation before things get worse.”
Luo Di had an indescribable feeling,
The truth of the island seed to be surfacing, but there seed to be so very important clues and details hidden beneath the surface, details that could make the visible truth deviate completely.
Considering the unknown variables, the only thing Luo Di could do was to be prepared himself.
While Hua Yuan was selecting the reward, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his forearm, broke a sharp tooth from the mouth of a pig’s head, and began to carve sothing on the inside of his forearm.
For Luo Di, the pain of skin and flesh being split was almost like a tickle.
What he was engraving was the ‘Hell Symbol’.
However, this ti the Physical Engraving was very particular,
Luo Di didn’t directly carve the complete Hell Symbol, in case he accidentally projected his Consciousness towards the True Hell while his physical body remained here.
He split the Hell Symbol into two halves, carving them on his left and right forearms, respectively.
If unpredictable and unstoppable dangers suddenly struck, perhaps he could burn bridges.
This feeling of engraving symbols on the surface of the body was very strange, also pulling Luo Di’s thoughts back to the classroom of his past, even montarily forgetting about the bus.
Just as he was about to complete the carving,
A bizarre presence emanated from directly in front,
As Luo Di’s thoughts hadn’t returned to the bus yet, he instinctively countered.
Slap!
His left hand snapped around a soft neck, and strands of painful iron wire imdiately wrapped around it, as if to completely snap this delicate neck.
“Mr.
Di, are you trying to kill ?
Now is not the ti to kill , otherwise everyone will die here.
If you want to kill , you can wait until the Warrant ends.
If we are both still alive by then, I welco your slaughter… Being invaded by you might feel different.”
Hua Yuan’s seemingly normal words contained a special ntal invasion, as if flower pistils were caressing the surface of the brain.
Luo Di, although his thoughts were still in the classroom, the class president in his mory turned into Hua Yuan, forcing the mory to break off and return to reality.
The hand grasping Hua Yuan’s neck imdiately let go,
As the strands of iron wire retracted from her neck, Hua Yuan even emitted a rather strange cry, clearly, she also had a considerable resistance to pain.
Hua Yuan did not bla Luo Di, but instead showed a more affectionate look due to his choking action.
She had already chosen her reward,
A stick full of sharp fish bones was carried on her shoulder, Hua Yuan’s exclusive ‘Invasion Attribute’ and the stick had undergone so kind of combination, fitting very well.
“This club is surprisingly useful, I wonder what creature’s bones it’s made of.
We Pseudo-People are not allowed to use other Pseudo-People’s pituitaries, not even the tools ford from pituitaries.
All killing and combat rely solely on one’s own concretization changes, and it’s quite difficult to obtain suitable and handy tools.
It’s said that a special store in the Corner sells unique tools, but after all, I haven’t entered it yet.
This is the first ti I’ve gotten such a handy external equipnt, and even feels like I’m back in action!
Plus, this shape fits very well with my Invader’s Stance.”
Luo Di looked at the stick, which bore a certain resemblance to his pig’s head, both having a sense of sothing alive.
But a pig’s head is a pig’s head, inside which there is the consciousness of Zhu Bo, an individual influenced by the Corner.
This stick in front of , however, doesn’t have a pituitary core; it is integral.
Those seemingly sturdy fishbone structures can writhe with the flow of the sea-colored hues.
It always feels like there would be pretty bad consequences once hit by this thing.
“You two, please look over here!
Glug glug~ This is the brand-new island map, and since you’ve successfully killed the highly difficult [Death Face], you now enjoy a bus privilege.
You can specify any area of the island for to go to.”
A simplified projection of the island map hovered in the air, with different areas marked in different colors, simply divided into:
[Forest of the Dead]
[Floating Corpse Coast (East)]
[Lost Coast (West)]
[God Worship Mountain and Island Village]
[Joyful Vacation Area]
“Vacation Area.”
“Glug glug!
The bus is departing!”
Several fishbone spikes erged from the soles of the gentleman fish’s shoes,
stepping down onto the tumorous pedal and piercing through.
The creature that represented the bus itself, embedded among the vehicle’s parts, started wriggling wildly due to the pain.
The steering wheel was connected to the creature’s brain nerves, allowing perfect control over its direction of travel.
With a biological baseplate and omnidirectional tentacle tires, it could drive over any terrain.
Though it could directly crush and devour trees, the vehicle always seed to instinctively avoid them, as if still adhering to the rules of a nature reserve.
“The trip will take about half an hour, and you can ask any questions during the journey.
If there are no questions, you might as well take a short rest on my bus, as soon after you’re going to be very tired again.”
Hua Yuan crossed his legs, appreciatively examining the stick while asking:
“What exactly is the thing we’ve encountered?”
“Glug~ That’s quite complicated to explain, you just need to know it’s sothing that the boss put a lot of thought into and used up a great number of manuscripts to finally design.
Temporarily nad [Offspring], and you guys are among the first batch of testers.”
“Is it ford through enticent by the calamity?”
“Glug glug~ If only it were that simple!
The boss’s ‘calamity’ is indeed special and can perate different organic lives through colors, carrying out the most basic of enticing transformations.
But to obtain an Offspring that’s exactly like the designs on the manuscripts, a ticulous process of sculpting, cultivating, and growth is required.
It is still in the early experintal phase,
and to achieve stable and large-scale ‘transformation’ is still a long way to go, so I hope you all will cooperate nicely!
If the boss can collect enough data, it might significantly advance the experint.”
Hua Yuan seed to realize sothing very serious and pressed on:
“Are you attempting to create an entirely new ‘system’?
One that’s not part of the Corner?”
“Ah~ Miss is pretty smart, you got it.
But your wording is a bit off.
Don’t say ‘we’, it’s just the boss alone, I’m just a rather successful Offspring.
You’re absolutely right!
However, this innovation is exceptionally challenging, and there’s a long way to go before a real system can be ford.
So we are very thankful for your cooperation.
Every Offspring killed by you, or that kills you, helps to perfect the boss’s experint.”
Hua Yuan’s expression shifted slightly: “By openly opposing the Corner like this, isn’t there a problem?
The nature of your boss, whom you ntioned, is also a monster from the Corner, right?
You reveal this to us just like that, could it be because you’re 100% confident in keeping us on the island?”
“Oppose?
The Corner is extrely inclusive, especially towards existences like the boss who have reached its deepest depths.
It might even be possible that this was a ‘project’ the boss proactively applied for with the Corner.
Your very presence on this island, involved in the experints, might all be according to the will of the Corner.
Don’t worry about it, I’m just saying.
But do your best, only 16 hours left until the experint ends!
If you cannot find the boss, you’ll all beco experintal materials.
Of course, even if you do find him, there’s only a dead end (whispering).”
