[Exhibition East District - Subway Entrance, Workshop Dispatch Room]

When Luo Di pushed open the door, living corpses resembling triplets, united in mind, attacked simultaneously from different directions.

He lifted his foot clad in size forty-five work boots, directly kicking the living corpse in front of him, causing its abdomen to cave in, breaking all the metal structure inside, sending it flying with one kick.

Chainsaws attacked from both sides simultaneously.

Snap!

His tongue made a slight snap.

Luo Di squatted down perfectly to dodge, while extending his hands at an even faster speed, grabbing the heads of the two living corpses, slamming them heavily to the ground, green bodily fluids splattering everywhere.

The mist spread,

The relic absorbed.

Hoo... Ha...

Luo Di took a deep breath, with his body temperature rapidly increasing and dryness setting in, evaporating all the green blood staining his clothes.

He spared none, slaughtering all the monsters within the subway platform, primarily to feed the pituitary.

For these monsters that had long lost their humanity, not even qualifying as living beings, Luo Di found himself retrieving the feeling from years ago in Moon City, after such a long time without a carnage.

For some reason, the long-lost large-scale massacre and the absolute power crushing made Luo Di's hands tremble with excitement.

"Is this the feedback from growth?

Back when I was a student, I couldn't even kill an ordinary Pseudo-Person alone, but now I can easily slaughter all these monsters.

Wu Wen has already moved on to a higher level, and I need to catch up quickly.

Currently, it seems Mr. Rose has no intention of intervening... so I'll keep going. If I can completely wipe out the living corpses in the Isolation Zone, maybe my relic can be fully satiated."

At present,

Luo Di was holding the last living corpse he kicked to waste, the mist seeping from his palm stripping everything from its skin to flesh, then bones, leaving nothing behind.

Just as he was feeling his own growth, immersed in the long-lost sense of slaughter.

Behind him, the door of the dispatch room was blown open by a gust from an unknown source, just wide enough for a person to pass through.

A white foot suddenly stepped on the door gap.

Unlike the corpses with pale skin, this foot's white was painted on.

A wrinkled huge stomach, contracting inward through extreme inhalation, perfectly allowing his body to pass through the door gap without any friction.

Completely silent, moving closer.

He even made a "shhh" gesture towards the camera,

Another hand slowly placed on Luo Di's shoulder, and even such a contact motion went unnoticed by the latter.

Painted red lips whispered in his ear:

"Pleasure, truly pleasurable..."

...

Luo Di seemed to hear something by his ear, suddenly turning his head.

But there was nothing beside him, only that the door behind wasn't closed.

It was then, a sharp pain came from his palm, and the unknown relic he just finished consuming seemed to have undergone some changes.

He looked down.

The relic's previously smooth surface unexpectedly had a mouth.

Though it had no teeth or tongue structure, it could perform simple breathing, and most importantly, it could inhale and exhale mist.

Because it was connected to his palm, this breathing could reach his lungs through special channels, providing extra oxygen.

Moreover, Luo Di could control the breathing and the mist's inhalation and exhalation.

"Hmm?!"

Although Luo Di was the hidden beneficiary of the videotape incident, he was always concerned about the mist relic as the final reward.

After all, he'd greeted Fog Man multiple times, deeply experiencing the effects and compatibility of the mist.

Especially in some classic horror films, mist is simply one of the most important and fundamental elements, often appearing at the beginning of various B-movies.

When he killed Joke back then, obtaining the opponent's pituitary, what Luo Di wanted most was the Mist System.

Looking at the mist seeping from his palm, a smile spread across Luo Di's face as a certain desire began to burgeon within him.

His perception was sharp, or rather, during his encounters with the Fog Man and the beheading of Joke, he had already become familiar with the mist.

The current situation quickly allowed the dispatch room to be covered in mist.

Even when he pushed the door open and walked out, the mist lingered around, effectively erasing his footsteps, concealing his presence, enabling him to kill invisibly.

However,

Luo Di did not continue; instead, after a brief period of adjustment, he retracted all the mist.

After all, he was already exposed, and staying in someone else's territory, there was no point in using the mist to conceal his movements; he only needed to confirm the changes in the relic and the usability of the mist.

"Since this thing can grow a mouth, it should also be able to grow eyes, a nose... When its features are complete, perhaps that will be the time when the relic is perfected.

I want to see just how special this relic, highly valued by the Exploration Bureau, actually is... how much strength an investigator can gain after acquiring a relic unique to themselves.

It must be said, this feeling is truly exhilarating."

Just as Luo Di was experiencing a strong sense of pleasure and returning to his murderer state,

the plant rooted in the pituitary space, [Walking Hell's Road], actually began to move within the soil, as if it were truly walking.

He did not delay too long; after adjusting his state, he proceeded up the stairs towards the east district of the exhibition, which was also the isolation zone sealed off by Mr. Rose.

His leather shoes stepped onto the last staircase, treading onto a large smooth white porcelain tile.

Luo Di, prepared for slaughter, gradually put down his bat and relaxed as he saw the interior of the exhibition.

The exhibition hall presented before him showed no signs of any Living Corpse; there were only specimens crafted from living bodies displayed behind glass partitions.

The height of the display cabinets ranged from three to twenty meters, and each cabinet was properly lit, showcasing the perfect details of these exhibits.

1. "Lighting a Fire" - A Living Corpse lay amidst a forest, its abdomen split open, revealing not internal organs but a furnace structure.

It was roasting a wild rabbit while simultaneously feeding, with the energy gained from feeding continuing to fuel the fire.

2. "Hunting" - A group of Living Corpses with arms in various forms of cold weaponry were hunting a mammoth covered in metal lumps.

The mammoth was eating a person, and the Living Corpses it devoured would grow from beneath its hair, turning back to hunt those besieging it.

3. "Reproduction" - Through pipes, bolts, bearings, and other structures growing from their bodies, numerous Living Corpses were interconnected. Either back to back, mouth to mouth, or inverted connections formed a huge mass of flesh structure.

Bodily fluids transferred through metals, nurturing each other, eventually producing numerous newborns with metal structures from the top of the flesh mass. These children would crawl on the surface of the mass, sucking milk flowing from the metal pipes until they learned to walk upright before leaving.

...

Various forms of Living Corpse exhibitions perfectly presented the fusion state of metal and flesh.

Even an outsider like Luo Di could feel the artistic expression within, starting to re-evaluate his own left arm, reconsidering the integration of metal and flesh.

"Wait a minute... these exhibits seem to point, consciously or subconsciously, in one direction. They seem to be hunting, playing, or reproducing, with each gesture pointing in a direction.

This direction coincidentally corresponds to a pathway in the exhibition.

Furthermore, although these exhibits are purely dead objects, their eyes seem to be staring at me. Some sort of surveillance method, perhaps? The so-called [Isolation Zone] is not completely chaotic, but rather under someone's manipulation.

The presence behind all this might have the capability to rival Mr. Rose.

It's because of this individual that the Human Body Exhibition is currently divided into the East and West districts.

They likely deliberately separated me, targeting me in particular, given that I could also be considered a fusion of flesh and metal to some extent.

Moreover, my metal is unique, not found elsewhere, not even in Hell can a second be found.

Gust should be on his way; after all, he personally promised to assist with everything related to the Jiang Mansion. Since there are no other paths available, let's just follow the guide and see what's there."

Luo Di followed the direction indicated by the exhibits, quickly arriving at the end of a gallery.

A thick metal door stood before him, its surface engraved with the [Vitruvian Man] he had seen at the station before.

Regardless of whether Luo Di used his right arm to push or his left arm to pull, it was to no avail.

But when he extended both hands to push together, click! The internal mechanism began to turn, and the door opened.

The vast and enormous exhibition atrium unfolded before him, with a second-floor viewing deck structure surrounding it. Although the floor was scrubbed clean, the air was mixed with the smell of flesh.

This scene and scent reminded Luo Di of a place he once loved the most.

[Fighting Hall]

Driven by rational thought or instinctual pursuit, it propelled his steps forward...

Ps: Unscheduled childrearing during the National Day holiday led to less writing time, resulting in possibly longer or shorter delays in updates. Will definitely return to normal after the holiday.
