[Thought Corner]

According to existing research, once the Thought Corner forms, the brain region that undergoes the most change is the hypothalamus, and located within is the "pituitary", which becomes the central hub for the formation of the Thought Corner, acting as the source of all inductions.

Capable of receiving "whispers" from the Corner,

Capable of amplifying an individual's obsessive pursuit of desires,

Capable of providing individuals with relatively complete disguise advice,

Capable of gradually inducing humans to transform towards the "thing" they fear the most,

When Pseudo-People are defeated, killed, and deprived of their brain structure, the "pituitary" can no longer function without a complete brain to rely on.

Humans can then use this "Cornered Pituitary" to obtain things that technology cannot provide, which is one of the main reasons why the whole world focuses here, and a large number of immigrants are relocated here. ([Public Information-Historical Timeline] Due to mysterious powers being elbow. If you want to check it out, you can go to the end of my other books directly by dragging the table of contents to the end, some timelines are still preserved. The continuation of the timeline will be completed at an appropriate time to enhance everyone's reading experience.)

"Cornering of Tools" is the most common usage, and it is also the safest and least impactful method for individuals.

In simple terms, it involves combining the separated pituitary with real-life tools,

For instance, encapsulating the pituitary between crystals, metals, and forming a "ring" with a ring holder,

Or, for example, crushing the pituitary and combining it with a special type of fabric to create clothing, gloves, hats, etc.,

Once the combination is complete, the corresponding "Corner Traits" can be activated, whose effects are unachievable by current technology, incredibly effective against Pseudo-People, and anomalous events, and necessary for subsequent explorations into the Corner.

Of course, one must always be cautious when using these types of tools.

If you hear whispers coming from the tool, or feel something foreign invading your body, you must immediately go to a local hospital for a comprehensive examination.

Side effects are more likely to appear in minors and teenagers who are still in development, and might even cause a completely normal teenager to utterly fall and develop a new Corner in their thoughts.

This is also the reason why the class leader is worried.

Currently,

This batch of pituitary from a zombie-type Pseudo-Person, although young and entry-level,

Because of the special label of "cancerous change", this pituitary is very suitable for combining with external tools, even without pre-treatment, maximally preserving the essence of the pituitary.

The tool combined is specifically a machete used to slay zombies, still bearing the blackened zombie blood and dried brain fluid.

Click!

The glass container holding the zombie's head was opened by Director Wang, who used brain forceps to reach into the nostril of the skull.

Skilled and swift,

Crunch~ a cluster of oval-shaped black tissue was peeled off, stained with already spoiled brain fluid.

The pituitary, which should be dim, instead radiates a strange black luster.

At the sight of the pituitary, all four young people could feel a weird sense of peering as if the [Corner] was within it.

Director Wang carefully placed this pituitary on the machete,

without any additional operations,

The moment it touched the blade, the pituitary seemed to find the object it wanted to attach to, and using its inherent 'cancerous' feature, it began to proliferate rapidly.

Strands of black neural tubes spread quickly on the surface of the blade, the complex network eventually spreading across the entire blade.

Not only that, a kind of skin-like structure even emerged between the neural networks, a shadowy skin similar to that of zombies started covering it.

The machete, originally a cold weapon, now seemed as if it had been brought to life, with parts of the nerves visibly moving on the surface of the blade,

The pituitary itself also moved on the surface of the network, moving to between the handle and the blade, embedding itself as a fixing nail.

At this point,

The entire transformation gradually stopped, a machete covered with zombie skin and neural networks was presented before everyone.

This is a [Cornered Tool],

While everyone else was cautiously observing the machete,

Luo Di had already propped himself up, one hand eagerly reaching out.

Such unequivocal actions even surprised Director Wang sitting across,

He first glanced at Luo Di's eyes, interest, determination, and full of desire to possess,

The "Isolation Gloves" originally intended for Luo Di for the first contact were taken back by Director Wang, deciding to let Luo Di make direct contact.

Clap!

Luo Di's hand grabbed the handle,

Five fingers quickly bent and firmly gripped,

At this moment, Director Wang also stealthily pressed the timer, if no abnormal invasion appeared within a minute, it would mean Luo Di could use the tool.

Bursts of Yin energy were immediately released, staining the palm holding the blade, one could even see strands of nerves leaping from the handle, climbing onto the palm.

Such erosive phenomena made everyone at the scene tense,

Director Wang also began counting down internally, if after ten seconds there was still no sign of fading, he would forcibly retrieve the tool.

10,

9,

...,

3,

2,

Just about to count down the last second,

Tick~

A light, relaxed clicking sound naturally popped out of Luo Di's mouth.

As the sound echoed in the room, the nerves clinging onto the palm gradually retracted, and Luo Di's palm returned to its normal color.

Clang!

A chair heavily fell to the ground, Anna fell to the floor, also grabbing onto the class leader's trouser leg, like she was suffering from some kind of PTSD.

Luo Di's attention was not diverted, he kept his eyes fixed on the machete in his hand, trying to chop and cut,

The feeling when swinging it was very strange, something he had never felt before - a sense of adherence.

It was as if the knife could adjust itself, enhancing the feel of swinging with increased heft and aggressiveness.

Luo Di also threw out his most pressing question, "Director Wang, can this thing chop those intangible Pseudo-People?"

"Yes, it can."

"Great!"

Director Wang also looked on approvingly, "It seems you have fully adapted to this tool. From today on, for the next six months, you are required to come here every weekend for an adaptation check.

And, here's the accompanying 'container'.

When not in use, make sure to store the tool inside the container to avoid affecting others."

However, Luo Di did not see Director Wang or any staff member bring out any usable "container" for storing the machete, but he quickly realized something, staring at the white cloth strip that had just wrapped the machete.

He could smell the antiseptic odor wafting through the bandage upon closer sniffing.

"Is this it?"

"A treated 'shroud,' effective in suppressing corpse-like Pseudo-People, can effectively contain the influence of the pituitary once wrapped around.

If the shroud gets damaged or lost, you can always come back here for a replacement, though there might be a fee."

"I will take good care of it."

Luo Di wrapped the blade in the shroud and put it in his backpack.

At this point,

Jupiter City Research Bureau's compensation for the accident was completed, and the four young people also left one after another, heading to the restaurant recommended by their class monitor for a celebration banquet (Anna chose to delay her compensation until after graduation).

In the stark white room,

Director Wang still sat in his place, seemingly in thought.

A staff member beside him was cleaning "stains" leftover on the table with a cleanser, and after finishing, the newly hired young man couldn't help but ask:

"Director, it's the first time I've seen a minor directly handle a Cornered Tool."

"Yes, don't report his information to higher-ups for now. Otherwise, they might come directly to our city to snatch him away, affecting the current Luo Di.

Of course, this risky approach of mine will be criticized.

We'll wait until his situation is stable, update this information next year after his Admissions."

"Yes."

...

[Auntie's Hot Pot]

Inside a private room of a comprehensive chain hotpot restaurant,

Cheers!

Glasses filled with coconut milk clinked,

"Congratulations to us for safely passing the practice, all receiving an S-level rating, and also congratulations to our classmate, the young Luo Di, for receiving his own 'tool' before being of age!"

The class monitor was far from her ladylike image at school, notably ecstatic, her face flushed from eating chilies like she was drunk, enlivening the atmosphere quickly.

Even Gao Yuxuan, who often partnered with her, saw this side of her for the first time.

"Wenwen, you just got out from the hospital, eat fewer chilies."

In response to Anna's reminder, Wu Wen kept shoving freshly cooked tripe into her mouth,

Chewing while pulling on her elastic school uniform, revealing her entire shoulder.

Gao Yuxuan hurriedly shifted his gaze,

But Luo Di, who had been focusing on the hotpot, turned his attention over, focusing his eyes.

He could clearly see a white scar reaching slightly above her chest, likely healed using a new medical technology with no side effects.

"Don't worry, all the inflammation cleared up before I was discharged. It's rare to have this chance, I can't worry too much, just want to enjoy eating tonight."

Anna hastily pulled Wu Wen's clothes up and glared fiercely at Luo Di, who was staring across the table.

"Hey Anna, weren't you wanting to have an arm-wrestling match with Luo Di? Now that everyone is familiar, I want to see who is stronger."

Luo Di, who was picking up a quail egg, was about to refuse but seemed to think of something and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm? Really going to do it?"

Anna was somewhat surprised, she probably understood Luo Di's personality and thought he would refuse for various reasons.

Luo Di had already put down his chopsticks, resting his right arm on the table.

This move instantly triggered the fighting spirit in Anna's bloodline; she entered the state, her focused gaze just like when she confronted zombies before.

"Really going at it! I have to record this epic battle properly."

The class monitor quickly switched her watch to camera mode and to selfie mode,

Positioning the camera center on the two wrist-wrestling,

while herself squeezing into the edge of the frame, popping in just her head making the peace sign. Gao Yuxuan, meanwhile, nestled into the corner of his seat, holding a dish of tofu products, intently watching the showdown.

Click~

Touching the button, electricity passed through the photosensitive material, precisely replicating the real colors in pixels.

The first photo was snapped,

Then, both at the hot pot table exerted force simultaneously,

Due to the oil on their palms, combined with both using full strength, surpassing the friction between their hands.

Slipping,

The great inertia carried their arms smashing into the tableside and the edge of the hotpot.

The class monitor, scared by the scene, accidentally hit the camera button again capturing the moment,

Seeing the school uniform stained red by the hotpot oil, checking that the skin wasn't scalded,

Laughter suddenly burst out in the private room,

This laughter, as if magical, spread outwards, stirring up more laughs, even Luo Di joined in, laughing out loud.
