Street barbecue stall.
The middle-aged, balding owner looked a bit puzzled. Though he had confird multiple tis, the two young girls in front of him still insisted on ordering enough skewers for eight people.
"Cheers!"
In this long-lost experience of the human world, both Wu Wen and Hua Yuan were completely imrsed, temporarily letting go of the pressure lurking in the corners. They were thoroughly enjoying this open freedom.
Moreover, the prior encounter with Mr. Han Dong also yielded considerable insights for them.
At that ti, in the deepest part of the containnt chamber, it appeared that Han Dong only conversed and modified Luo Di’s finger. In reality, as soon as the three entered, three distinct ti-spaces had ford.
Han Dong engaged in private conversations with each of them, giving so guidance along the path.
Currently,
with the influence of alcohol and the intimate relationship cultivated over ti,
Wu Wen suddenly posed a question: "Sister Hua, since you want to leave the Sisterhood, why not co to my side?
There are no distinctions of seniority or rank on my side.
There isn’t a managent mode like Grandmother’s, at most requiring occasional public lectures that one must attend on ti. In special circumstances, you can take a leave.
I can assure you, although we are an erging organization, we can definitely surpass the Sisterhood within two years. Now is the perfect ti for you to join us."
Hua Yuan glanced up at Wu Wen, then returned her gaze to the surface of her drink, with a half-smile.
"I’m still considering how to leave. Grandmother won’t let go easily. Plus, once she finds out I’ve gone to you, wouldn’t she lead the sisters to besiege you?"
"Don’t worry about that. Since I dare to invite you, I’m definitely not afraid of Grandmother coming over.
To tell you secretly, I’ve even tested Sister Yu Lu. Although I haven’t asked directly, there seems to be a slight chance."
"You’re really bold, Wu Wen."
"If I weren’t bold, how would I have dared to forcibly leave the Sisterhood back then?"
As the two sisters reached this point, they shared a look and burst into laughter.
Hua Yuan downed a drink, her cheeks flushed, "Let’s talk about it later. Even if I truly want to leave, my first choice would be a direct organization like the ’Eight Evil People’ in the Corner. Both the benefits and freedom are the highest.
If there’s a chance, I’ll co to see you."
"Alright, Sister Hua, you’re welco anyti. I’ll drink with you!"
As Wu Wen was toasting,
Hua Yuan stretched her neck, gazing in the direction of the Fifth Hospital, "Ah~ didn’t Luo Di say it would be quick? It’s already the fourth day, I might as well have gone to play on an island."
"Let’s wait for him, I bet it won’t be long."
Just at that mont,
a string of footsteps approached,
A group of diners with floral tattoos from the next table ca over,
The blond young man in the lead, speaking in standard Italian, said, "Beautiful ladies, why don’t we share a table? We’ll cover this bill for you."
This wasn’t the first ti Wu Wen and Hua Yuan encountered such an incident.
They didn’t respond directly,
Instead, picking up an empty beer bottle and spinning it on the table, seemingly deciding whoever it pointed at would handle the situation.
The blond man saw his question go unanswered, watching them play a ga instead, and a vein popped on his forehead.
He imdiately grabbed a stool and sat down next to the school-uniford girl, intending to wrap an arm around her waist.
Just then.
Chop! Chop! Chop!
The intense, bone-deep sound of at chopping ca, even overshadowing the noise of passing cars.
These people instinctively looked toward the barbecue shop but saw no one chopping at.
As their gaze shifted, they discovered an unfamiliar young man suddenly sitting there, seemingly the source of the chopping sound coming from within him.
What was even stranger,
In this era of smart technology, there stood a pitch-black horse behind the young man, and at a quick glance, sothing seed off about the horse.
The horse’s mouth was unusually long, almost filled with dense teeth.
The mane resembled human hair, and its limbs appeared to resemble human hands and feet, but on closer inspection, nothing seed wrong.
The blond leader didn’t stop his action, ready to hug Hua Yuan while questioning the young man’s identity.
Buzz!
Suddenly, he lost feeling in his arm.
Turning to look,
his entire right arm had been chopped into mince, and the black horse behind the young man had moved, licking away the minced at on the ground.
Just as he instinctively wanted to scream,
a black feathered hand erged from the horse’s mouth, covering his mouth,
The young man sitting there placed a finger to his lips, signaling him to keep silent, or risk a worse fate.
The leader’s lackeys, realizing sothing was amiss, fled decisively. Bearing the excruciating pain, he kept apologizing repeatedly, limping away with them.
"My, Luo Di, you’re still so kind-hearted! You’ve just returned from Hell and already saving people. Your ’demon murderer’ traits completely contradict your nature; you’re simply exceptional among good people."
Hua Yuan was visibly displeased. She most hated people like the one just now, and she already sensed the intent of invasion from the other side.
If it weren’t for Luo Di’s intervention, that person might have ended up in a very miserable state.
"That scum will hear the sound of at chopping for the rest of his life. It probably won’t take long before he goes crazy, indistinguishable from being undead."
Saying this, Luo Di also picked up the skewers on the table and started devouring them.
Wu Wen over here noticed the problem, "A four-day Hellish journey, the improvents are this significant? Is it just this once, or will there be frequent upgrades in the future?"
"Only this ti."
"What a pity~ Should we go back to the Corner to develop? Are we leaving tomorrow? It’s been about a week since we ca out."
"How long can your Avatars last?"
"Probably another week or so? Why, are you planning to take us sisters sowhere fun?"
"Interested in sothing to do with Monster Avatars? It’s in this city. According to the docunt, it seems a bit unusual."
The frustrated Hua Yuan showed a bit of interest, "Where’s the docunt? Let take a look."
As Luo Di handed over the docunt, Hua Yuan’s gaze shifted slightly, "So strange..."
"What’s strange?"
"When a monster descends an Avatar into the human world, it’s usually for a few reasons.
Like screening for organization mbers in advance like Grandmother,
Like us behaving obediently, just to reminisce on human life.
Then there are those bloodthirsty types who still enjoy slaughtering the weak in human society.
And of course, a few with special fetishes, but those can generally be ignored.
In any case, Monster Avatars try to conceal themselves as much as possible, to avoid exposure.
This thing seems to have deliberately left clues in the hospital, wanting people to chase them, as if intentionally revealing itself."
"Is it possible this monster has that kind of personality, enjoys playing cat-and-mouse with investigators? Trying to fulfill its needs this way."
"That possibility exists too. The case seems interesting. Let’s take a look tomorrow to see which monster is so unlucky to encounter us three."
Luo Di gathered the papers and turned to Wu Wen, "Squad Leader, do you want to take a look?"
Wu Wen was chewing on chives, shook her head while munching, "No need to look at such small matters. Finally got a chance to rest, don’t want to use my brain.
But I’m quite interested in your colt. This Crow seems to have changed."
"The last ti at the supermarket, it assimilated in the Corner of a special monster owner. This ti returning to Hell, it completed a new incubation. It now belongs to a dual system like , functioning in both worlds and possessing a degree of growth potential.
In the future, I should be able to move freely in the Corner with the Crow Colt, no longer needing to rely on the Sisterhood’s living bus."
"You really seem to encounter all the good things. Don’t ride that to the hospital tomorrow, or the things inside might get scared off before you even arrive."
"Don’t worry, I know better than to do sothing like that."
"Right, are you coming to stay with us sisters tonight, or what?"
"You go back to the hotel. I need to report to Mr. Hook. Tomorrow morning at nine, we’ll et at the City Investigation Bureau."
"Okay."
...
[The next day - Mingwang City Investigation Bureau]
Although Luo Di’s trip to Hell took longer than expected, the situation at the hospital hadn’t worsened. As long as they sealed that ward, the hypersomnia didn’t spread.
The director personally received them and an operational leader specifically in charge of the event also ca.
But during the eting in the hall, the director seed puzzled, "Luo Di, these two are the ’friends’ you ntioned? Based on our face recognition, they don’t seem to belong to the World Headquarters...
Instead, they appear related to so long-sealed incidents?"
The director’s wristband had been blinking with warnings for so ti, but because they were brought by Luo Di, he spoke cautiously.
"They’re Monster Avatars, my friends from the Corner..." Luo Di leaned forward, whispering to the director’s ear: "I need you to keep this confidential, just like old tis, only list alone in the report."
"Understood."
Recalling Luo Di’s past infiltration of the Sisterhood, the director could guess the origins of the two monsters before him.
This was beyond his reach; he just needed to trust Luo Di.
Moreover, with the assistance of two Monster Avatars and Luo Di as the investigator, no matter how strange the hospital event, it was bound to be resolved securely.
The director stood up to shake hands, "I have only one request, minimize fatalities... During your handling of the hospital event, the hospital will operate normally, and internal staff will fully cooperate with you, with no other investigators interfering."
"Alright."
"Thank you for your hard work, Luo Di!"
"Goodbye, Director."
As Luo Di and the two young won left,
The director noticed his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
The action leader originally responsible for the hospital case was full of fear, having much to say but unable to utter a word.
Throughout the conversation,
They could always hear a strong sound of at chopping, as if their bodies would be minced into at slurry.
"How soon it is that Luo Di has changed like this... Are the gaps between people that wide?"
