322: Chapter 310: Invasion 322: Chapter 310: Invasion [Half an hour ago, Pure White Plateau]
A Pilgrim, who had trekked through mountains and traversed a great bridge, needed only to walk one last easy stretch to reach the Great Monastery and complete his pilgrimage.
However, this Pilgrim was peculiar; he did not stop outside the doors of the Great Monastery but continued along the main road.
Along the way, he encountered convoys transporting Sinners, but curiously, the personnel in charge of the escort seed as if they couldn’t see him, completely ignoring his presence.
Eventually,
this Pilgrim arrived at the Punishnt Room situated at the edge of Hell.
Just as he reached the spiked door of the Punishnt Room, the door flung open imdiately.
Simultaneously, the sound of tal Hooks clashing could be heard, and Hook, clad in a leather outfit with Hooks folded on his back, personally arrived.
“Oculus…
What are you doing?
Shouldn’t you be busy with the ‘World Invasion’ lately?”
“Ah~ That’s all settled!
Bored out of my mind, I whimsically decided to experience the journey of a Pilgrim.”
Hook’s dark pupils seed to sprout spikes as he stared at the hooded figure before him, “Stop the nonsense, every action of yours has a reason.
What do you need for?”
Only then did Oculus slowly lift his head, with his large round eyes at the center of his face focused on Hook, “I’ve had a profound conversation with Luo Di, and this visit represents personally, not the Spine.
Hook, do you understand what I an?”
“I don’t.”
The large eye blinked, “Ah~ we are old acquaintances, don’t be so stingy.
Besides, I ca all the way here after completing a Suffering Pilgrimage, wouldn’t you invite in to sit?”
“I’m currently not interested in any world invasions, I just want to learn more about the world behind Luo Di’s envoys.
Also, I guarantee this matter will not be known to the Spine, it’s just a secret between the two of us.
Plus, my Eye can help you acquire so intelligence beyond the World Anchor, and it could aid your research on pituitary as well.”
Hook did not respond directly, but maintained eye contact with Oculus, forming over ten hypotheses in his mind and eventually deducing the most favorable scenario.
“Co with …”
“Great!
By the way, Hook, you must have launched so kind of invasion, right?”
“You’re still the sa as before, Oculus, always loving to talk nonsense.”
“Aren’t mouths made for talking?
Just like eyes are made to observe non-stop from birth until death.”

[Human World, United Nations, Mingwang City]
Since the Fifth Hospital was designated as a model unit within Mingwang City,
it had surpassed the earlier established Psychiatric Hospital in almost all aspects, with the Capital City allocating funds to introduce brand-new equipnt, and the staff receiving a comprehensive increase in benefits.
The reputation of the Fifth Hospital had spread throughout the city and the nation.
It attracted a large number of talents from other districts and even the Capital City.
Today, a final interview for new Doctors was underway at the Fifth Hospital, with only three candidates making it to the last step.
Ultimately, only one person would be selected, and the Dean, Hawkins, was also present on site.
Two of them were experts with over ten years of experience from other districts.
anwhile, the third was a recent neurology Ph.D.
graduate from Luo University, who had no work experience but ca from the Capital City.
It was expected to be a challenging selection.
However, when Dean Hawkins saw the big-eyed, smiling young man from the Capital City entering the interview area, for so reason, he had already made his decision.
…
Due to the strong shielding effect inherent to the Punishnt Room,
The effectiveness of Oculus’s Eyes scattered around the world was forcibly reduced, including the eyeball donated to Navel Port, dimming its overall brightness.
Before the light dimd, it also casually swept over the rchant ship cruise where Luo Di and his group were, and detected no anomalies.
In his view, since the youngsters chose the safety-first rchant ship cruise, there was no need to keep an eye on them constantly, his own interest mattered more at the mont.
The first day of sailing went very smoothly.
Late at night,
Inside the surveillance room of the rchant ship cruise.
The skeletons on duty were all alert and lively; even if they wanted to nod off, they couldn’t, as they had no eyelids to close.
Today’s sailing was sowhat boring.
As the day went by, not even a slight anomaly appeared on the scanning equipnt’s panel.
In the past, one could at least discover the remains of ancestors twice a day, and then it was necessary to notify the control room to change the navigation route.
If lucky, one could even get a glimpse of the ancestors’ remains, which was considered a kind of entertainnt.
One of the skeletons, in charge of monitoring the instrunts, said sowhat boredly: “Hehehe~ Is the lighthouse being maintained today?
It swept over the cruise ship when we left the port and I haven’t seen any light since then.”
Another skeleton responded: “Oculus is the most dedicated special Spine; his eyes are spread all around the world, not only helping to monitor the situations in Hell but also supervising the conditions outside our realm.
The importance of the lighthouse is prioritized, there must have been so issue that required biological maintenance.
Once it is fixed, it will imdiately start working again.”
“That’s true!
Since there’s nothing going on now, I’m going to read for a while.
You keep an eye on Monitor No.
3 for .”
This skeleton then pulled out several sheets of paper from the joints of his bones, eventually piecing together a small book.
This was also a routine operation for these crew mbers since work was very boring and they occasionally needed sothing to alleviate the monotony.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing the cover of the book, the other skeleton was stunned, “Is this…
the latest ‘Cave Adventures’?
Is there a new serialization?”
“Yes, you can buy it at that pirate bookstore in the flesh seam of the Navel Port.
Haven’t you read it yet?”
“Of course not!
You hurry up and read it…
lend it to after you’re finished.”
“Okay.”
While the two skeletons were discussing the book, a red dot flashed on the radar of Monitor No.
3 and disappeared too quickly and with too low intensity to trigger an alert.
By the ti the skeleton’s gaze shifted back to the radar, there was nothing there anymore.
Besides the two of them, four other skeletons were watching different types of detecting devices in the control room, with no anomalies.
Just as this skeleton was about to curl up in the Corner to steal so ti to read the book.
Boom, boom, boom~ There was a sudden knock at the door of the control room.
“Hmm?”
The cruise ship had a strict ti managent system, and it was far from shift change ti.
“Is the surveillance outside the door broken?”
Outside the door, there was a hidden skull monitor, their skulls could connect to it any ti to peek at the situation outside, but the connection was completely failure now.
Normally, in such unknown situations, these skeletons would consider potential risks and notify the captain imdiately.
Strangely, none of them contacted anyone, and all headed towards the door, overwheld by an intense desire to open it.
The skeleton’s palm landed on the doorknob, twisting it open.
In the blink of an eye.
All the skeletons in the control room had disappeared without a trace.
…
[Ship Guest Area]
Luo Di woke up from a strange dream, and to his surprise, knocking sounds just like in his dream ca from outside the door of his cabin.
The instant he heard the sound, his body moved instinctively, stepping on the floor with the intention to open the door.
But the warning voice in the dream still existed, stopping Luo Di from his intended action.
Simultaneously.
Calen, embedded in the wall of the living room, and Agatha, who was sleeping beside Luo Di, woke up at the sa mont.
Their first instinct upon waking was also to open the door.
Realizing sothing was amiss, Luo Di imdiately sprang into action.
He first went to Calen, who was closest to the door, and tried all sorts of shouting but to no avail.
Ultimately, Luo Di only had to press close to the other’s ear and knock hard with his tongue inside his mouth.
Click!
Calen then ca to his senses, a sense of Danger Perception making him swiftly retreat back into the wall.
As for Agatha, it was quite simple; Luo Di directly shaped a rod-like torture device and struck her buttocks with it!
Smack!
The sharp pain and the sensation of the rod-like object made her quickly co to her senses, blushing slightly as she gave Luo Di a strange look not commonly seen on her.
However, Luo Di’s next words made her sweat a tallic colored cold sweat.
“Ancestors might be outside…”
…
Boom, boom, boom!
After several unsuccessful knocks.
The cabin door, which should have been locked and sealed, was easily breached by so substance and opened.
Sothing “walked” through the suite,
But inside, there was nothing left, just a forcefully broken window and scattered glass shards all over the floor.
