Deep in the Living-Chapter 427 - 415: Final Player

[City of Sin-Real Death Game]

The entry passage at the bottom of the building is crowded with people.

Today will see the final challenge of the Death Grand Challenge, and following customary rules, the paid entry will be reopened, allowing up to three thousand spectators to pay to watch the competition in person.

Even though the price is high, people still queue up to vie for spots.

There is even a batch of people that specifically came over from the [Slaughter Deep Pit], each with a heavy stench, lined up in a separate queue.

The initial group of over a thousand participants in the Death Grand Challenge have been whittled down to twenty after the screening of three major rounds.

These twenty people, though labeled as servants, are actually "young talents" meticulously chosen by various organizations and families, and among them, there is even a special breed born of the Corner.*

*Due to the pervasive presence of Fear Entities, procreation in the Corner is strictly limited; any fetus developing in the mother’s womb is influenced by these Fear Entities.

The majority are directly miscarried; even if they are born, most are deformed, growing directly in the Corner environment is a considerable challenge.

Without crossing into the Human World, survival is difficult.

Therefore, many monsters with reproductive intentions choose to descend their Avatar into the human world for breeding, nurturing them slowly, and later bringing them to the Corner through normal interstice screening to complete the continuation of their offspring.

Individuals capable of being born and raised in the Corner are extremely rare, sometimes not seen for many years. Regardless of their pituitary rarity or development potential, both are extraordinarily high, and they exhibit better adaptability to the Corner, granting them a greater chance of venturing deeper.

Soon, Mr. Question Mark will officially announce the selected twenty individuals along with the rules concerning the final challenge.

The waiting area is already crowded with more than five thousand spectators.

Included are the previously eliminated servant masters and the pure spectators who have just bought tickets, all waiting here for the ultimate showdown between young talents in the Corner.

In a certain corner,

A man in a dark red raincoat, with a hood obscuring his face, subtly reveals a trace of red lips.

Except this red lip is different from the ordinary women’s red lip, it covers both the upper and lower mouth, it’s very coarse, like it was brushed on.

The clown, eliminated in the second round, did not leave; he has remained here, uncontacted by anyone and untouched by others, even most people do not notice his presence.

Even if the Eye looks over, they only see an inconspicuous balloon floating in the corner.

The four sisters have also arrived at the scene, standing in a very front position; among them, two servants have entered the final challenge, only Juan is purely a spectator.

Click!

As all the spectators enter, the lights turn off.

The front is fashioned into a T-shaped platform, as the spotlight descends, the cloth-wrapped-headed Mr. Question Mark again takes the stage.

"Friends of the audience! I know you can’t wait any longer, so I won’t say much, let’s welcome the players entering the final challenge of this Death Grand Challenge!

Bang, bang, bang!"

A kind of intensely oppressive music plays at the scene as well.

Each player maintains their Human World form, but their energies, figures, and styles are completely different as they successively enter the stage, unfolding from left to right in their respective circles.

Simultaneously, Mr. Question Mark gives a corresponding introduction to these individuals.

Including their gates of fear, nicknames, styles, origins of their domain owners, and their spectacular performances in the earlier rounds.

"Seventh, Luo Di! He is the only human servant to enter the final challenge this time, not a monster. He is also the only true talent with his pituitary still at the Seed Stage.

According to what we know about Luo Di, besides possessing the Corner System, he is a Connector with an alternative system from the Otherworld, allowing him to achieve cross-tier confrontations.

His Fear type is the Black Door, nickname [D], tends toward aggressive slaughter styles, and he is adept at utilizing his brain when facing formidable foes.

Belongs to [Sisterhood], an extremely rare male member.

Earned a Skip Card from his spectacular performance in the second round, directly entering the final challenge."

Upon hearing the introduction, the crowd couldn’t help but gasp! The acclamation is higher than for the previous players, not because of Luo Di’s human identity, nor because he is still in the Seed Stage.

But due to the Sisterhood tag,

Countless male monsters, even those far above Luo Di’s rank, give thumbs up to express their supreme respect toward him.

"Eighth!

Same as Luo Di, this player came to the final challenge through a Skip Card, and the two had a partnership in the second round.

She belongs to [Deep Slave], has lost self-control, and is under ’Isotope Control’ by her master, Miss Wu Wen, ranked restricted to the budding stage.

The Fear type is Meat Door, without a nickname, tends towards Disguise, body manipulation, assassination.

Miss Wu Wen belongs to a newly rising Corner organization, most of those present probably haven’t heard of it, it’s called [Vortex].

From what I understand, this organization scales quickly without any other organization’s backing support, led by an apparently very capable figure.

Regardless, let’s look forward to Miss Wu Wen’s performance."

The blonde girl is essentially Wu Wen’s independent body avatar, thereby meeting the criteria for participation.

Though standing beside Luo Di, the two did not exchange much on stage, Luo Di was in a state of closed-eye meditation.

Mr. Question Mark continues with the player introductions,

When the last player comes on stage,

Some keen-eyed spectators have already noticed this player’s distinction, even Luo Di’s spine started to twitch slightly.

A bead of cold sweat starts running down the blonde girl’s forehead, even the Squad Leader below the stage does likewise.

"Yu Sister, did you feel it?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Yu Lu actively lifts the bangs that cover her Eye, looking at the entrant with the noose-like pupil structure, briefly assessing: "Hmm...a monster among monsters."

Wu Wen becomes exceptionally serious at this moment, "With such a figure in the game, Luo Di is unlikely to clinch the ultimate victory; if Luo Di encounters this person, kindly withdraw immediately."

"No need for your concern, even if I don’t forfeit right away, Hua Sister will abandon. Couldn’t believe we’d have such bad luck to meet this guy here in the contest."

Hua Yuan remains silent, full of vigilance as she looks at the other party, gritting her teeth.

She considers herself exceptionally gifted, but the monster before her clearly presses her heavily, judged just by the simple assessment through her pituitary.

...

Under the spotlight, a young man just over 170cm in height strides onto the stage, his walking speed slightly slow, overall projecting an indescribable feeling of frailty.

Pale golden hair parted in the middle, slightly extending past his ears, narrow Eyes, irises with a cool hue.

A slender, somewhat fragile body wearing a brown-striped high-neck sweater, with only ordinary beige pants on the lower half, stepping in sports shoes.

On the whole, compared with the scene corps of monsters showing some anomaly features, he looks more human-like.

He stands at the fringe, waiting for Mr. Question Mark’s introduction.

"Twentieth, Lebeite.

This player entering the final contest is very special! He has been hiding within his family all along, and this is his first exposure in a public setting.

Of course, I have had direct contact with his family master earlier, this unique monster is here precisely for the Plant Pot, having just started budding recently, seeking a high-quality Plant Pot.

I’m sure many spectators have already perceived it.

He is indeed a Corner-born and self-sustained natural monster, a new progeny of [Invisible Manor].

Even though his performance in the previous matches looked ordinary, merely following the route I set to complete the game,

he faced no hindrance all along, standing as the easiest clear-througher, let’s anticipate this natural beast’s performance in the finals."

Upon completing all player introductions,

Mr. Question Mark suddenly grips the burlap bag he perpetually wears on his head, seemingly about to reveal his true identity, causing several people right at the venue to cover their Eyes, daring not stare directly.

"Ta-da!"

The burlap sack is pulled off, but inside is another burlap sack, as if fooling everyone at the venue once more, yet all can only share a sheepish smile.

The burlap sack with a printed question mark held in hand, used as some sort of lottery tool, moved toward the first player.

"Next, let us begin drawing numbers! Once everyone has drawn, we’ll commence the final challenge."

Soon, everyone draws numbered balls from the sack, but the texture inside the sack feels peculiar, none dare linger their hand within, quickly pulling out once they touch a ball.

The numbers on the surface of the balls range from 0 to 9.

Luo Di draws 3 while Wu Wen draws 9.

As for the last Lebeite, he happens to draw 0.

"Now please pair up players who drew the same numbers quickly, stand in order and best get to know each other between!"
