Deep in the Living-Chapter 526 - 508: Great Slaughter

Luo Di pushed open the ward door, the entire floor was empty.

Neither Wu Wen, Hua Yuan nor the nurse from before were there.

However, the hospital’s power supply was still functioning normally, Luo Di took the elevator to the first floor and ran from the inpatient department to the hospital lobby, similarly finding no one there.

"The dream currently hasn’t shown any aggressiveness or hostility, it’s just purely desolate.

Is it trying to completely trap me here until I have a mental breakdown to undertake a deeper invasion?

Or is it simply trapping me until this material completely occupies the brain, bringing eternal sleep, essentially indistinguishable from death, equivalent to a slow death process?

That’s also how people with hypersomnia suffer, as the symptoms worsen over time until they can never wake up.

Let’s try to forcibly leave first."

Luo Di’s related abilities weren’t restricted, even the pituitary space could be freely entered and exited, he applied a punishment room suite to himself right away.

After the intense pain vanished, the scene before him showed no change.

He tried various mental methods but to no avail.

"The light blue crystal dust should correspond to "calamity," I actively inhaled it in an extremely large dose, apparently the effect isn’t typically good.

Since my abilities are unaffected,

What would happen if I link up with True Hell inside the dream? Could the dream materialize Hell? It should break directly, right?"

Luo Di took advantage of the sparse hospital lobby,

Whoosh! He sliced his wrist to start bleeding, using his fresh blood to draw a Hell Symbol to form a teleportation array.

Yet, just as the symbol was about to be completed, Luo Di’s expression changed, he quickly covered his wrist and stopped the bleeding.

"No, my thinking is problematic.

This real dream isn’t hostile at all and doesn’t restrict the abilities of the dreamer, it’s entirely for the stability of the dream space.

Could it be the opponent wants us to exhibit various abilities within the dream? To understand us more deeply through this.

This is a higher-level dream... not just about prolonged sleep.

As we display abilities within the dream, this dream monster can ’learn’ and even ’seize’ my abilities.

I vaguely feel this; just while drawing the symbol, someone was watching me from the corner..."

Luo Di sharply turned his head, looking at the darkest corner of the hospital lobby under the flickering light.

Only a mop stood there under the incessantly flashing lights.

"This monster is quite peculiar, but..."

Luo Di rose and left the hospital, the outside scene remained identical to reality, similarly absent of people.

Caw!

A piercing crow caw shattered this stifling silence.

Palm opened,

The black beak broke through the skin interior.

What emerged wasn’t a crow, but numerous black tendrils each with crow heads, quickly weaving into a pitch-black horse.

When Luo Di sat on it with one hand supporting his back, the horse’s back automatically dented to form a seat structure, and two deep black holes appeared appropriately positioned for inserting hands.

"Go!"

A black shadow swiftly shot out,

racing through the streets at nearly 300km/h, further accelerating, Luo Di moved in a single direction.

Crossing Mingwang City, stepping onto the highway, showing no intention of stopping.

Continuing for a full half-hour, when nearing the next city, Luo Di finally saw what he anticipated.

"Boundary"

A clear demarcation line appeared on the road, moving rapidly, creating corresponding spatial structures in the areas it swept over.

"Indeed, the Dream World is calculated in real-time based on my brain’s memory, unable to initially build a complete world framework.

"Space is limited"

In this case, it’s unnecessary to find an exit or hunt down the figure hiding behind.

Just deal with it in the simplest way."

Palm placed on the horse’s back, crow colt retracted.

Whoosh!

The traditional Hell Blade Handle was drawn from the palm.

This time it was infused not with flesh and bone, but pure Hell Metal.

Transforming into an all-too-common slaughter knife.

At this moment,

Standing on the highway, Luo Di performed an inexplicable act,

Kneeling on one knee,

one hand gently caressing the ground, feeling as if testing and soothing some food ingredient.

The other hand raised the slaughter knife high, as if intending to butcher.

His target wasn’t any particular person or object but the earth itself...

Just before the slaughter began, Luo Di sensed another presence watching.

A man seemed to be peeping out from behind a tree trunk in the woods beside the highway, eyes fixed on the scene.

Luo Di chose to ignore it, focusing on the matter at hand.

"Feel free to observe, learn as you will, as long as you can learn it..."

As he spoke,

Luo Di directly slashed down, cutting the surface of the road. This feeling was all too familiar to him, during the four days and nights going to Hell, he repeated this action endlessly.

"Great Slaughter"

Clang!

The blade hit the ground.

As cracks appeared on the surface, the entire space trembled slightly.

One slash followed by another, this incredibly real Dream World seemed to be pressed onto the cutting board by Luo Di, treated like a piece of meat being butchered.

The being lurking behind the trees was completely shocked by this scene,

he seemingly never expected the other party to break through the dream in such a manner.

...

One day before

[Hell’s Depths - World Slaughter Room]

Luo Di was already able to follow along with the butchers here, chopping meat and feeding processed corpses to the essence of Hell.

Although his efficiency was still not comparable to the smallest butcher here, he was getting close.

Although the "ring" played a considerable role in the beginning, now Luo Di could rely on himself to perform the slaughter.

During the endless slaughter for four days and nights,

Luo Di not only learned how to become a Hell Butcher.

But he also gained a basic comprehension of killing through the pure motions of swinging the Slaughter Knife.

Integrating, digesting, and absorbing his "Corner", that is, the entire videotape event experience.

The growth obtained from this perfectly expressed through the current Hell Slaughter.

The end result was "plant growth".

The "Victim’s Bud" planted in the Moon’s cellar, nourished by the Plant Pot, was changing towards the next small stage.

Plant maturity was just a general term.

In fact, it needed to undergo three small stages from germination to maturity: sprouting (seedling) → leaf growing → flowering → fruition (mature).

The surface of the simple black plant began to sprout leaves, the ordinary-looking leaves faintly held the shape of a Slaughter Knife.

Throughout the leaf growing process, faces in the soil showed fearful expressions as if they were about to be slaughtered.

As the leaf growing completes,

Luo Di also completed his slaughtering experience in Hell’s depths.

A prompt from the Corner unexpectedly came through, although it sounded like the interference noise of a severely disrupted television, Luo Di could barely hear it clearly.

≮Victim’s Bud (Leaf Growth Stage)≯

Based on the growth from seedling to leaf stage, it mainly includes four keywords: slaughter, undead, adaptation, disguise (sorted by importance).

Apart from being influenced by growth, leaf formation is also affected by the environment and artistic conception of the final formation stage.

Leaf Name - "Great Slaughter"*

*All things and beings can be slaughtered.

Now incorporated into the individual’s Fear system, effects are as follows:

1. Enhances the effect of Consciousness Slash, can affect reality to some extent.

2. More effective when using hand blades or bladed weapons, no longer restricted to flesh and blood creatures. When the slaughtering effect forms, regardless of the type of substance, it will endure effects similar to slicing flesh and blood creatures.

3. If used together with the feature "Cinematic", it yields better results against specific creatures.

As Luo Di here enters the Leaf Growth Stage.

Hell Will also received the behavioral answer given by Luo Di, very satisfied.

§Once your kingdom is formed, True Hell will provide the soil required for its sustainment. By then, a new Hell Force shall emerge§

...

The entire Dream World was suffering Luo Di’s slaughter, on the verge of collapse.

The guy who had been lurking in the woods suddenly stepped out, seemingly unconcerned about being slaughtered himself.

Luo Di, seeing the opponent appear willingly, gradually ceased his actions, for his slaughter could resume at any time without haste.

Turning to look,

a fair-faced young man with glasses but no hair walked out from the trees, still wearing a standard hospital gown.

"Truly Mr. Di, to offer such a solution.

However, this is merely a dream created by my Avatar, far lesser compared to the dream of my true self.

If Mr. Di is interested, you may visit the Corner... try if your solution can succeed again then."

"What if I don’t look for you?"

"You likely will, after all... I am not the one who sets the questions, I’m merely serving as a temporary test paper. See you at the Corner, Mr. Di."

The bald young man made a snapping motion towards his own temple.

Snap!

Dream vanished,

Luo Di abruptly awoke from the hospital bed,

The first sight was the face of the young girl resting against the bedside.
