"What? Master Jiang is here?"

Luo Di was completely puzzled upon hearing this piece of information.

He was very clear about Master Jiang's physical condition, nearing the end of his life, with only one or two chances to go out.

Moreover, this infiltration mission to the Human Body Exhibition Hall was personally authorized by Master Jiang, and he even arranged for Uncle Neck to participate.

The goal of the action was simple, to investigate the situation of the exhibition. Currently, the Jiang Mansion has not decided to launch a full attack.

According to Professor Noel, he would not take lethal action against Uncle Neck and Mrs. Linglong. Luo Di also watched their situation on TV, and there was no threat to their lives.

From any angle of analysis, Master Jiang should not appear here.

Why?

"Are you confused, Luo Di? Wondering why the old Living Corpse would risk being obliterated to personally come here. When you're puzzled, you need to open your mind and think about what's really tied to this."

Professor Noel had already torn open his skull, revealing a brain full of metal spikes and wires, where electric currents could be seen flowing rapidly.

Buzz!

Suddenly, all the currents converged in the pituitary area, as if Mr. Noel figured something out, pointing at Luo Di behind him.

"You! You are the answer... That old Living Corpse doesn't have much time left, he's always been searching for a body.

It seems you're helping the Jiang Mansion at a critical moment, and he's outwardly polite to you.

This 'politeness' largely stems from you being a person from Vortex Town. Your arm can contact guys like Gust, so he can't kill you immediately.

However,

If he can arrange for you to go to the 'Human Body Exhibition,' to face a threat like me, he can ahead of time test Vortex Town's stance.

If they do not intend to support, he would pretend to provide support, catching you off guard to kill you.

Moreover, I can boldly guess, that after separating from you, that old Living Corpse would immediately meet with Rose.

His only condition being, at any cost, to pull you into the game! By any means get your body, thus he can truly prolong his life.

During the massage, I checked your body; you developed almost perfect zombie characteristics during your stay at Jiang Mansion.

Huaxia seems to have a professional term called 'Yin Yang,' your body reached an excellent balance state, practically a perfect vessel!

If I were that old Living Corpse, I would definitely spare no cost to get you.

Our agreement still stands, but now it needs to be temporarily shelved... You should retreat immediately, go back to Vortex Town, I'll handle things here myself.

I have a contract constraint with Mr. Rose, he can't intervene in the exhibition's East District, so what I need to deal with is just that old Living Corpse.

I only need to clearly inform him that you've escaped, and he's likely to withdraw directly."

Luo Di had a completely different opinion, "Likely? Professor Noel, your body may not be any worse than mine.

If you view flesh and metal as 'Yin Yang,' you'd also be in some sort of balance, wouldn't you? Since Mr. Rose is so smart, he must have thought of all possible scenarios.

The Jiang Mansion's reserves have been almost exhausted; Master Jiang can't return empty-handed on this trip.

Even if you can use the venue to deal with Master Jiang, you won't have a good time either, likely to be seriously injured... By then, this area will not only be easily taken over by Mr. Rose, but you will also perish."

Professor Noel was well aware that what Luo Di said made a lot of sense, but he also seemed to hear the hidden implication in his words.

"You want me to go with you to Vortex Town? Impossible... You don't know how much effort I've put in here, this exhibition's East District was all built by me, all the exhibits are my creations.

All my research is based on the laboratory built deep in this exhibition hall.

You should leave now! Since I am the Manager of the East District, I naturally have some means."

"No... That's not what I meant, I never even thought of asking the professor to leave this place. What I mean is..."

Luo Di moved closer and whispered softly into his ear.

This plan left Noel momentarily stunned, and he scolded loudly, "Are you crazy?! Even if that old Living Corpse's body is completely destroyed, it's still the fourth-ranked among plants, the leader of a large organization, recognized as the dungeon warden by Corner.

I bet, even Mr. Rose wouldn't dare face him head-on.

Your plant has just matured recently, and your rank is just reaching the top hundred as a gatekeeper. There's an undeniable difference in terms of ranking, status, experience, and strength.

This difference will lead to your quick demise, you'll be crushed like an ant.

Unless, that Gust is willing to come help."

Luo Di calmly replied, "He might help, but only from the outside. Vortex Town has stated clearly that this is my personal business, and as a neutral organization, they will not intervene.

However, I really want to give it a try.

After all, we have a certain information advantage. Neither Mr. Rose nor Master Jiang would expect that as I fight my way to the depths of the exhibition, I would quickly become friends with you.

Utilizing this point might lead to an unexpected victory.

Besides, I have experience in fighting above my tier, there are quite a few teachers in Vortex Town, and I've sparred with a chef.

Not to mention, Gust's tongue is in my hand."

Seeing this young man's determination, Professor Noel's expression turned gradually stern, his chaotic hand gently rested on Luo Di's shoulder,

"Fine, but I have one condition... All my actions, all my plans are based on scientific research.

I will never yield this exhibition hall,

Since you want to participate, you must put your life on the line.

If I determine that you're completely dragging us down, with no chance of survival, I will perform 'human body refining' on you right then and there."

"That's just how it is, Professor, let's go."

The killing intent that Luo Di had restrained through massage before now began seeping out again, a personal desire for power starting to grow wildly within him.

"Go! Go! Go!"

He once again heard a whisper by his ear, suddenly turning his head, but there was nothing behind him.

...

Human Body Exhibition, East District, Atrium.

Boom! A giant foot smashed through the wall.

Luo Di, his back pierced with various iron nails and bleeding profusely, staggered as he escaped, his flesh twisted.

It seemed he had undergone a certain degree of human body refining.

His metal left arm was rendered unusable, any abilities related to metal sealed, and the metal structures pierced into his back were affecting his internal circulation.

However, such an escape was clearly futile.

The atrium had long been completely sealed, the main door still blocked with the initial steel pipe, flesh crawling over the entire door, offering no escape.

Professor Noel, on the other hand, sat leisurely on the viewing platform.

A large number of Living Corpses chased here, preparing for the final siege on Luo Di.

"The fact that you escaped from the operating table and made it all the way back here shows that you're quite capable. Once these Living Corpses exhaust your stamina, I'll refine your body.

You will surely become an excellent exhibit."

Professor Noel lit a cigar, receiving a massage from a maid behind him, waiting quietly.

Just as all the Living Corpses were about to seize Luo Di,

Boom!

The sealed door was directly ripped open by a huge force, eerie aura surged in! All the Living Corpses fell dead, twin black bite marks appearing on their necks.

"Master Jiang has arrived!"

A shout echoed out.

Four zombies carrying a black coffin leaped into the atrium.

Beside them was Madam Linglong, her face expressionless and unreadable.

Boom!

The black coffin lid was instantly blasted open by a burst of eerie aura, aimed precisely at Professor Noel on the viewing platform.

The latter raised a hand to catch it steadily, crumbling the coffin lid entirely with the metal force in his palm.

And at the same time,

An old man, with some structures resembling Dragon Scales hanging from his skin, climbed out from the coffin.

Luo Di, drenched in blood, with a broken arm, looked up, his eyes widened... a hint of killing intent flashed through his pupils.

'Uncle Neck!'

Although Luo Di didn't know Uncle Neck well, he had learned from prior cooperation that Uncle Neck was essentially good and harbored intentions of going to Vortex Town. But now, his loyal master had killed and possessed him.

This somewhat surprised Luo Di.

He initially thought Master Jiang's chosen container for this expedition was merely a corpse, not expecting it to be the utterly loyal Uncle Neck!

It was clear he had gone completely mad, determined to achieve his possession goal on this trip.

Moreover, Luo Di glanced at Madam Linglong, who seemed to be controlled, devoid of any thoughts or responses.

Whish!

Just as Luo Di was distracted,

The four muscular zombies carrying the coffin had already collapsed, turning into dried corpses!

The tips of Master Jiang's fangs still glistened with some bodily fluids, his body swiftly restored to an optimal state.

A headful of black hair sprouted from his crown, cascading over his shoulders.

Rumble!

Thunderclouds rolled over the Human Body Exhibition.

Master Jiang raised his arm, beckoning Luo Di repeatedly:

"I personally came to save you, come over~ Luo Di... safety is just ahead."

Luo Di had no autonomy in movement, an inexplicable force pulling him steadily onward, his shoe soles scraping marks on the ground.

Simultaneously, the view shifted to an unknown room.

Mr. Rose, with a face half golden and half human, was changing clothes, watching the events in the atrium from the corner of his eye, smiling.
