≮Please replenish nutrients for your pituitary (horror species) by spreading fear and creating fear until it’s full*.≯
*Once full, it will reach the human limits and cannot continue developing in the Human World, and must go to the Corner to proceed to the next step.
…
Hum!
The lights went out, descended into utter darkness.
Luo Di’s consciousness began to float upward in the darkness, leaving the special, transient 「Room of Fear」 and receding to rest upon his body.
Hum!
Consciousness returns.
The entire process was not like the “Projection” towards the True Hell, but rather a “sinking and floating”.
It seed as if the consciousness housed within the body was uniquely peeled away, sinking into the ground, heading towards the underside of Earth.
Now, it is coming back to the ground, drilling back into the body, with a very intuitive process.
By the ti Luo Di opened his eyes,
He was not in the Dean’s Office, but in the Preaching Room full of hooks.
Clearly, Mr.
Hook was just as eager as Luo Di to see the changes brought about by the combination with the pituitary or to see what system Luo Di was in.
Ding ding ding!
The hooks hanging from the ceiling started to collide with each other as if alerting Luo Di, this Abnormal, similar to when the class leader ca to the Preaching Room.
But as Mr.
Hook reached up and grabbed, all the hooks fell silent.
Staring at the young man whose appearance hadn’t changed, Mr.
Hook caught the subtle grey that occasionally appeared in his pupils and skin.
“Oh?
Your body seems the sa as before, yet sowhat different… Even though you’re still wearing the restraint ring, I can feel a subtle danger from you.”
“Mr.
Hook, I think I can remove the restraint ring now.”
“If you do, you might be sent to the Spine at any ti… Are you already prepared to serve there?”
The frail and aging Luo Di, slowly touched the restraint ring that passed through his cervical spine and explained:
“Now I, can control through my own abilities the connection between the spine and the True Hell, no longer needing the restraint ring.”
Having said that,
Luo Di’s right hand touching the restraint ring began to show intense grey, followed by a tentacle erging from his palm, easily removing the restraint ring.
At the sa ti as it was removed,
This short tentacle drilled into the gap between the cervical vertebrae, also serving to block the transmission of consciousness.
When the tentacle was displayed,
Mr.
Hook’s eyes narrowed into slits, and he showed an inexplicable smile.
“Interesting, very interesting… your world has endowed you with such strange and dangerous system traits.
If you can master this power, going to serve at the Spine would be quite intriguing.
You make want to disguise myself as a Spine and go see.”
Double world systems, each belonging to the top tier, are indeed divinely chosen.
It’s been a long ti since I’ve encountered such an interesting creature as you.”
As the restraint ring was replaced by Luo Di,
The tentacle could precisely block the uploading of consciousness without further restraining the spine itself, and a stream of Hell warmth was being released from the spine, continuously liberating the Hell Power into his bloodstream.
The physical weakness brought by a month’s restraint was rapidly recovering.
“Thank you, Mr.
Hook.”
“Bring more pituitary…
and when you are truly ready to serve, just let know, I’ll take a leave to watch your performance.”
“Will do.”
…
Hiss hiss hiss!
Large amounts of steam filled the Dean’s Office, the high temperatures even triggered the fire alarm.
The two middle-aged n who said they were going to practice Tai Chi were actually just standing outside quietly waiting, and when they heard the fire alarm go off, they rushed into the room imdiately.
The heavy white steam made visibility inside the office extrely low.
At the sa ti,
They could catch a glimpse of an abnormal grey amidst the white steam.
Opening the windows and doors, when the steam completely dissipated,
Luo Di was sitting on the office chair, panting heavily, his eyes no longer dim but filled with luster.
The frail and shrunken body has now recovered, filled with the vibrant, deadly energy of youth.
“Congratulations, fellow villager, on completing the Alien Food!”
Yu Ze was the first to stand up and offer his congratulations, then he took out a docunt from the wardrobe and tossed it on the table: “The transfer docunts have already been prepared for you in advance.
As long as your Alien Food is successful, you can finalize your conversion from an Intern Investigator ahead of schedule and also get a chance to interview at the Capital Investigation Bureau.
If possible, please sign it.”
“Are there more cases in the Capital?” Luo Di asked, his breath still emitting sulfuric heat.
Yu Ze pinched his eyebrows and smiled helplessly, “Hahaha~ I guess you’re the only one in the whole world who would still have questions and hesitations when facing this docunt.
I signed it before asking back then.
What do you say~ fellow villager?
The heart of the nation, closest to the Corner, even within the World Bureau there is a [Mouth] directly leading to the Corner, do you think there wouldn’t be many cases there?”
“Fine.”
After Luo Di signed, the docunt with an internal chip imdiately took effect.
The personal file library of the Capital Investigation Bureau also received the sa docunt information, marking Luo Di as [Pending Interview].
“When do we leave?”
“What’s the hurry~ You still need to go through the transfer procedures at the Mingwang City Investigation Bureau, and you probably have so important stuff left at your place, right?
Let’s go after you have sorted everything out.
Anyway, thanks to your matter, Yun and I have gotten a whole week off.”
“Okay.”
At that mont,
Yun suddenly ca up close, staring intently at Luo Di’s body.
“Temporary weakness, is this your real body?
It feels so firm…
great!
If you pass the interview and join our departnt.
We three can form an adventurer squad.
You’re the warrior, Senior Brother is the mage, and I’m the assassin!
Lalala, we can go defeat the Great Demon King!
Wait, sothing’s wrong~ an adventurer squad should also have a Priest who can help heal and boost, ah, it looks like we need to recruit one more person.”
Luo Di looked at the seemingly underaged girl in front of him, completely clueless about what she was talking about.
He got up and walked towards the two middle-aged people standing at the door.
“Dean, Director Wang, thank you for your hard work.”
The Dean looked lancholy: “Ah~ no trouble at all!
The longer Luo Di stays here, the happier I am…
only you’ll be going to the Capital soon, I guess you probably won’t co here after that?”
“I will co.
The Fifth Hospital is very important to .”
With such a response, the Dean imdiately brightened, “That’s great!
I’m always here, just call ahead when you co, and I’ll arrange everything in the office for you.
Also, you just called him wrong, he’s not Director Wang now, but Vice Director Wang.”
Wang Shuokang didn’t mind, “It’s fine, it’s fine, you can call whatever you like.
Since there’s nothing left to deal with here, I’ll head back first, and there’s a bunch of work waiting for in Jupiter City.”
Before leaving, Wang Shuokang also placed his hand on Luo Di’s shoulder,
“The situation in the Capital is far more complicated than you think.
No matter where you are, always be yourself, and if there are any unsolvable puzzles, coming back ho for a few days might help you.”
“Thank you, Director Wang.”
Luo Di personally saw Wang Shuokang off from the hospital, deeply grateful for his continual care and concern.
Luo Di also planned to go straight to his bachelor apartnt to pack his luggage, the films and diaries sent over last ti from Jupiter City should have arrived, not expecting to have to move just when he was about to settle down.
“Fellow villager, want to go for a al together?” Yu Ze’s voice ca from behind.
“You guys go ahead, I’m not hungry for now.”
This ti, Yu Ze did not insist, he could see that Luo Di needed so ti alone, “Alright then, just ssage when you’ve sorted everything out here, then we can head to the Capital together.”
“Okay.”
…
[Youth Apartnt-1107 room]
Luo Di held the package from Jupiter City and returned here for the last ti, actually there wasn’t much stuff to tidy, just needed to take the investigator related items with him.
While he was doing a thorough cleaning of the room,
The hiking backpack hanging in the wardrobe took Luo Di’s thoughts back more than a month ago, back to when he first ca here, back to when he had to use this backpack to carry a certain spherical object.
He reached out for the zipper of the backpack and gently slid it open.
Of course, no black hair or pale skin would appear inside, there would be nothing, as the backpack had been emptied when the squad leader was reborn.
But,
Even though the emptied backpack should have contained nothing, a note appeared inside, like the ones passed between classmates during school.
“Luo Di, rember to take care of yourself when you go to the Capital
——Wu Wen”
