Deep in the Living-Chapter 883 - 862: Acceptance

Luo Di tried to recall the events at the center of the maze,

He and Dormo coordinated, injuring the death row inmate from the Central Prison, but also angered the opponent.

Determined to die, he turned to give one last strike, and related memories were interrupted here.

"Who saved me? Mr. Yi? Or Mr. Kraft, or that epidemic existence that took Teacher Jia Wen,

They are subordinates of the Prison Director, even his right-hand men, surely capable of rivaling death row inmates!

In such a crisis, they would certainly intervene to stop or even kill the death row inmate, ensuring the screening set by the Prison Director on Earth continues.

Until someone becomes the successor.

It must be like this,

I should be recovering somewhere in the Human World, this room's style feels like a rental in Moon City?"

Just as Luo Di wanted to get out of bed to check the situation outside,

The bedding beside him squirmed, and a head popped out.

"Wow~ Luo Di, you woke up so early? They just reforged your Hell Shell yesterday, saying you'd need three days to recover consciousness, but you woke up so soon, no wonder you're the man I fancy, strong body indeed."

The head that emerged was Hua Yuan,

She looked sleepy, very similar to her dream image, wearing just a white camisole. Only she wasn't a neighbor, but sharing a bed with Luo Di.

"Hua Yuan!! Honestly..."

"Shh!"

Hua Yuan didn't answer directly, but crawled over, covering his mouth with her hand, gently pushing him down,

Without instantly opening up,

Instead rarely, gently, lying on him, slowly recounting the entire story.

When discussing Hell's prearranged relocation plan, transferring 60% of Mingwang City's population to Hell for escape, Luo Di's face twitched suddenly.

"Only Mingwang City?"

"Yes..."

Old memories bubbled up,

Those people Luo Di once met in Jupiter City, talked to, even those kind to him, seemed to be dying.

It's like Earth is currently playing out as in dreams, people being skinned, thoughts directed, dying.

In fact, such dreams embellished the result, the actual situation more tragic.

Having been created by the Prison Director for successor screening, what if discovered by death row inmates?

Luo Di didn't dare to think deeply about the situation there, only feeling his heart gnawed by a swarm, extremely uncomfortable.

Ugh!

He leaned over, dry heaving at the bedside.

This time, Hua Yuan did nothing, merely stood up saying: "I'll make you something to eat, stay in bed and think before coming out."

Luo Di didn't respond, his thoughts still immersed in the discomforting images.

Until a recent memory suddenly emerged from deep in his mind,

It was the scene of that disheveled, stitched-up youth piercing Diaterov by hand.

In fact, during the great selection's middle, in the inner-ring mansion where everyone gathered, Luo Di had already smelled a stench, from Yu Ze.

Yet at that time the situation wasn't this severe, even if Yu Ze made minor moves, he'd be overpowered by many teachers.

No one expected death row inmates to appear at such a moment.

Suddenly,

Luo Di's heart found stillness, his thoughts shifted to something, no longer anxious nor considering the worst.

Gazing at the empty ceiling,

He quickly sat up, dressed.

Hua Yuan had just cracked two eggs into the pan, surprisingly hearing footsteps, "Luo Di, how come you're up! Wait, you wouldn't want to go back, would you? You mustn't, or else..."

"I'm just going out to see, don't worry, returning now is the same as suicide.

Having survived, I will live well."

Luo Di stepped barefoot, opening the door. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Outside corresponds to Moon City's city streets, only near the center are more lands and buildings.

The familiar Fifth Hospital had "relocated" here.

Even though it's deep night, during Hell's ash-covered hours, the city remains brightly lit.

Those associated with Hell, transferred from Mingwang City, live here, seemingly used to life here.

This kingdom belonging to Luo Di is probably the most Human-World-like place in True Hell.

These people are acutely aware of Earth's crisis, grateful for their presence here, thankful to Luo Di.

Also,

A few masked demons roam among the crowd,

These are Hell's local demons, selected by Hook upon the kingdom's establishment, the first entry demon group.

Unlike the Spine, unlike the monks, unlike the Tumor People, and unlike Evil Play.

These demons are titled "Human Demons,"

The masks worn are mediums akin to a spine, Hell Items belonging to Luo Di's Hell Force.

Masks vary in standard and style but essentially lean towards "human."

Demons born of Hell, choosing this system, wearing masks, cannot remove them until becoming a Great Demon.

They need to "be human" wearing masks, during this their exaggerated bodies may compress, their rough living habits may improve in Moon City.

Because Luo Di, as the Hell Monarch here, imbues the kingdom with humanity, gradually influencing demons living here.

Of course,

The Black Door attribute belonging to Luo Di is also hidden within.

These demons become more adept at solo killing, hunting, surviving.

Perhaps sensing the Monarch's presence,

Demons wandering the streets, driving cars, shopping between stores, all turned their gaze, kneeling one after another.

Yet,

Luo Di didn't want to break this bustling atmosphere; such urban environment makes him feel humans still live, his companions still live.

For a moment, all demons felt a tongue appear behind them, whispering in their ears: "Mind your own business."

As the words ended, all demons returned to normal activities citywide.

Luo Di stood here, not like a Hell King, more like a temporary tenant, as if when he first went to Moon City—confused yet resolute.

"Breakfast's ready!"

Hua Yuan's voice pulled his thoughts back.

Inside,

Two freshly made fried egg noodles lay on the table, slightly burnt but looking good.

Luo Di's newly recovered body craved food, finished within ten seconds.

"Hua Yuan..."

Hua Yuan paused, quickly sliding her noodle bowl forward, "Hm!? Want more? You can have mine; I have snacks to eat."

"I'm full~ I need to discuss something with you."

"What?"

"I might leave here, go 'wandering.'

Hua Yuan frowned, "Why? Isn't it nice here?"

"I was ultimately killed by that 'Skin Bag Guest', not sure if he has means to track me.

Even if rescued by the Shop Owner, there might be things invisible to him left inside me.

If I stay here, Hell might be in trouble.

When Hell crosses a world with living entities, I'll leave, want to join?"

"Of course! I don't want to be alone here."

"Alright."

Hua Yuan looked puzzled, "Really, you figured it out so quickly? I thought you would at least spend a whole day accepting."

"It's hard to accept but I have more important things to do... I must kill Yu Ze, so I can't waste time on meaningless things.

Moreover, examining the entire incident, even the Shop Owner may be suspicious.

Hell's relocation was prearranged by the Shop Owner; maybe he knew danger would come.

But I can't determine the Shop Owner's true stance, nor his real motivations; all must wait until I reach a higher level, stand alongside them, then can answer.

Teacher Guo, Teacher Ma, Mr. Question Mark likely are the same,

None will waste time,

I can't halt, I must follow their pace, next meeting may be in the Central Prison."
