74: Chapter 69: Spine (Additional chapter for the Purple Alliance Hierarch and COO) 74: Chapter 69: Spine (Additional chapter for the Purple Alliance Hierarch and COO) Heat,
The classroom, previously shrouded in gloom, suddenly grew hot,
The class monitor on the podium clearly felt this heat, an inexplicable dry warmth that compelled her to unzip part of her jacket to expose her chest for cooling.
Her slightly twisted head was staring at Luo Di in the back row, utterly failing to comprehend what he was doing.
“Thought Corner?
No…
what are you doing, Luo Di?”
With eyes closed and legs crossed, Luo Di,
was holding the Zombie Blade in one arm, allowing the blade to shed hair and teeth, returning to its original form,
sharply slicing into the front of his own body,
Taking cues from the three cuts the class monitor had made on his chest, it seed as if he were inscribing sothing.
This process wasn’t one that could be finished instantaneously,
The class monitor could have killed Luo Di straight away, but she rely stood on the podium, waiting, observing, and even appreciating, her gaze returning to what it once was.
Perhaps it was the whispers from Thought Corner directing the class monitor to do so,
Or perhaps she was montarily intrigued, wanting to see what other thods Luo Di had,
Or perhaps there were other reasons,
[Perspective switch]
Luo Di was focusing on the symbols etched into mory, trying to carve the symbols glimpsed in Hell upon his body, fully devoted to ensuring the accuracy of the carvings.
Crosses, spirals, pentagrams,
Various characters, which he could not comprehend but rembered vividly,
Throughout the entire carving process, his tongue also flapped at a steady rhythm,
The air drawn through his nostrils began to change,
The once normal air slowly turned dry and hot, even carrying a tinge of ash,
He began to sll the unique odor of sulfur, the scent of Hell.
When the last rune was carved,
The perfect Hell Symbol beca one with Luo Di, and the front of his body radiated an intense burning sensation as if the entire symbol was ablaze.
The increasingly intense burn finally forced Luo Di to open his eyes,
With ashes swirling,
The classroom, once dark and cold, vanished along with the class monitor,
Once again arriving in[Hell],
The air was just as dry, every breath scorching his lungs, only this ti sans acid rain, and the heat was slightly less severe than before.
His eyes, unaffected by the dryness, could see everything clearly.
This ti, he wasn’t bound to the cross and carelessly left on the scorched wasteland, waiting for his blood to drain.
This ti,
Luo Di found himself in a vast hall scarred with burn marks,
The scale of the hall was enormous, each supporting pillar of obsidian was as large as a city skyscraper, and the entire palace probably reached a height of thousands of ters.
Scorch marks on the floor and pillars replaced lights, providing both brightness and heat.
However, Luo Di wasn’t free,
His limbs were pierced and spread in an X-shape by thorn-like chains of obsidian, suspended fifty ters in the air, naked.
The zombification had fully lifted, and his supposed severed left arm was completely intact here.
It seed that it wasn’t his real body arriving here, but rather a projection of his soul essence,
The rune carved into Luo Di’s abdon was clearly visible, still oozing blood,
Drops of fresh blood fell from high above, landing in the huge Blood Pool below.
Circling around the Blood Pool stood “Priests” who could be called giants by humans, each at least five ters tall.
These priests had uniform attire: long robes of black linen sewn together, adorned with decorations carved from black stone, and their waists were bound with rope-like belts.
The overall style was primitive,
Their exposed arms were pitch-black, starkly different from the demons with bright red skin one would envision.
The most distinctive feature of these priests was their[heads].
The heads of all priests were severed, tied to the ropes at their waists,
Already withered,
Their heads seem to be a redundant part for them, as excess complex thoughts would interfere with their daily tasks.
However, it was not that there was nothing above their necks,
Blood that seed alive gushed from their necks in thick lines, sketching bizarre symbols in the air.
The style of the symbols resembled the Hell Symbols that Luo Di carved onto his body.
At this mont, a series of voices transmitted directly into Luo Di’s skull.
“O distant denizen of the Exotic Realm, your resolute killing has resonated with us, True Hell has answered your call.”
Clang clang~
The Black Stone Thorns piercing through Luo Di’s body began to descend,
His body lowered towards the Blood Pool below,
Gurgle gurgle~
The once serene Blood Pool began to bubble; not because any creature was breathing beneath, but because the whole pool was boiling.
The scorching heat alone was enough to blister Luo Di’s flesh in abundance.
The descent continued,
When his feet touched the scalding Blood Pool, the high temperature instantly lted his skin.
Even Luo Di began to scream in agony, his body instinctively thrashed violently, and the Black Stone Thorns tethered to him clanged incessantly due to his struggles.
anwhile, the surrounding giant Priests were chanting sothing,
And in this process, Luo Di was completely subrged in the Blood Pool, his screams drowned out.
[Food Hunt]
Today’s mosaic chef was invited to a hot pot restaurant with exceedingly high temperatures to sample their specialty “Quick-Heat Bullfrog.”
The ultra-high temperature special hot pot needed only three seconds to cook the bullfrog.
The mosaic chef carefully subrged a dazed live frog into the pot, preparing to count the ti aloud, when the live stream experienced severe lag.
To ensure a good viewing experience for the audience, the chef imdiately switched the hot pot restaurant’s wifi to mobile data mode.
However, due to this delay,
The bullfrog had already been boiling in the pot for over thirty seconds,
When picked up with chopsticks, all that remained was a mutilated skeleton, the flesh nowhere to be seen.
…
It was unknown how much ti had passed,
But as the Priests finished their chants,
The Black Stone Thorns pulled Luo Di’s body gradually out from the Blood Pool,
Not just flesh was gone, but most of his bones, his skull included, had lted away, leaving only one thing.
A ‘spine’ dyed in black and red hues,
And it was this very spine that was connected to the four Black Stone Thorns,
The intact spine was removed from the Blood Pool, its surface still emitting billowing smoke,
It seed as if all the flesh and bones of Luo Di’s body had rged into it, as if so substance belonging to Hell had been infused into the spine in that special Blood Pool.
“The Hell’s Spine is forged, welco to be one of us.”
Click!
A clicking sound of a tongue echoed,
Luo Di abruptly opened his eyes,
Returning once again to the pitch-black classroom, except now the temperature had reached 40°C,
And his back was emitting billowing smoke,
In the previous battle, the monitor’s claws had torn and damaged the clothing on his back,
Now one could clearly see a continuously smoking spine protruding, bulging high and dyed in black and red hues, immaculate.
An endless stream of power surged out from the spine,
Luo Di could distinctly sense that he had changed, as if he had truly beco like the eternal Murderer in movies, maintaining absolute suppression and domination.
As the blood in his body continuously flowed through the spine, completing the exchange,
Veins of pitch-black blood vessels surfaced on his skin, his entire pupil dyed completely black,
Even without the aid of a flashlight, he could see the entire dark classroom,
Clearly see the monitor’s pulsating crimson heart beneath the skin,
And the pituitary within the skull, on which the Thought Corner was inscribed.
