Deep in the Living-Chapter 517 - 502 Hidden Reward_2

Lebeite did not turn back, merely responding casually:

"I can’t kill him now, otherwise I would have already done so at the amusement park... Let’s go, bye!"

He raised his arm over his shoulder, giving a two-fingered farewell gesture.

Even such a simple gesture left Lebeite somewhat strained, almost stumbling down in exhaustion, disappearing into the crowd in a frail state.

Next was the return journey.

In the car, Luo Di had not a hint of drowsiness, even as Wu Wen and Hua Yuan, who were sharing the ride, had fallen asleep from fatigue,

he continuously watched the scenery outside the window, consistently releasing his grey perception to ensure that no ambush would occur, ensuring the vehicle stayed on the correct path.

4:30 AM

The vehicle stably parked under the Sisterhood’s apartment.

Although the [Grandmother] might also have some intention to snatch this hidden reward, from the current situation, the Sisterhood is the sole and best place to deal with it.

As soon as they entered,

a rope descended with a woman hanging dead at the staircase.

"Sister Yu."

"None of you died, and all returned safely? As usual, a check is needed to see if you’ve been followed, marked, or mentally enslaved."

As soon as the words fell, a hanging rope appeared on the three’s necks, loosening only after completing a death experience.

"Grandmother has recently gone out on business, so I am in charge of the apartment temporarily. Your situation will be reported once Grandmother returns."

Yu Lu initially wanted to call Luo Di to the basement for a good chat, after all, she previously felt that Luo Di was almost on the brink of death, so returning alive probably brought about new insights into death.

But the recent hanging made her feel that Luo Di was in a state of mental tension, seemingly having very important matters to address.

"Go take a rest quickly, Luo Di come find me to chat about death when you have time."

"Alright."

Stepping onto the stairs,

crossing the corridor,

opening the door.

Ka!

At the moment the door lock snapped shut, the held breath accumulated in Luo Di’s heart all the way was finally exhaled.

Wu Wen and Hua Yuan also became completely alert from their drowsiness, both eager to see exactly what it was that Luo Di had acquired.

Hua Yuan opened her mouth,

an endless flower pistil released and inserted into the walls of the room, ensuring complete isolation inside and out. Fortunately, Grandmother was not around, so no one would know what was happening here.

Hissss~ Hot air released.

The Iron Maiden, nearly consuming all of Luo Di’s Hell Metal and specially crafted, appeared in hand.

Before opening it,

the three inside the room all assumed their defensive stances, ready at any moment to summon all their power to ward off any possible incoming attack. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Luo Di used his finger to trigger a mechanism button on the Iron Maiden’s surface.

The gears rotated, transforming the device.

As a Hell Great Demon, Luo Di could precisely design torture devices, this being a binding device he designed according to the shape of a finger,

switching the Iron Maiden from "fully closed" to a three-segment "semi-closed" structure.

Three iron rings respectively locked the two joints and the base of the finger.

The spike structure representing the Punishment Room pierced between the fingers, stabilizing this "hidden reward" through pain and high temperature nerve suppression.

Theoretically, a finger that requires the entire Mist System to suppress shouldn’t be so easily controlled.

Primarily, it’s because Luo Di has obtained the "permission," although he hasn’t embraced the finger, he belongs to the reward holder.

This withered, decayed finger twisted wildly within the torture device.

Even with Luo Di the holder doing the suppression,

the finger still exerted influence over the surrounding environment,

whether it was the bed, wardrobe, or even the floor, wooden finger structures began sprouting.

Hua Yuan, encountering this thing for the first time, immediately let her black hair hang in front, forming a certain Abyss Barrier to block out this influence.

Wu Wen, who had already experienced this once inside the incident, was currently utilizing absolute control over her flesh to restrain the various influences of fingerification, yet one could still see the finger structures wriggling beneath her skin.

Luo Di finally asked the question he most wanted to know:

"What is this?"

Hua Yuan shook her head, though she had joined the Sisterhood, she spent most of her time in the flower garden, seldom engaging with the outside, her knowledge wasn’t vast.

Since the event concluded till returning to the apartment, Wu Wen had been reviewing related information stored in her brain, relevant speculation was completed.

"1. Needs to be hidden and suppressed using the Mist representing one of the phobias.

2. After concluding the event, an important media object, the videotape, was directly destroyed.

3. The fear distortion brought by the finger itself can overshadow Luo Di’s grey pituitary derived from Mr. Kraft and the Hell System, it can also overshadow my pure flesh pituitary, and now it seems even the unknown system Hua Yuan just acquired can be affected.

The priority is infinitely high.

4. According to Luo Di’s description, once the finger is embraced, it enables reaching a higher level.

To accomplish these four points,

with my current corner knowledge, after repeated speculations, I can only arrive at one answer, one that’s not quite clear."

"Squad Leader, stop keeping us in suspense, everyone is eager to know."

"This should be something that existed at the very birth of the Corner, the earliest Fear Embodiment. Even this could be the very first part of the Corner, an origin.

Of course, this is only a part, an extremely small part.

The reason why the "videotape" exists,

is because the deep-seated fear divinities of the Corner have all been attracted by this thing, gathered around to form a complete whole, presented in a literary nature like a videotape.
