Deep in the Living-Chapter 902 - 881: Dangerous Destination

It's been two years and two months since the "Great Selection".

No one knows what has become of the former homeland, the star where humans lived, which was also selected by the Prison Director's right arm as the selection site.

Luo Di no longer thinks about it, because he doesn't want to do anything meaningless.

Right now, there's only one thing he can focus on to do it well and survive.

[Moon City - Old Street Beef Noodles]

Luo Di was sitting alone at the innermost seat, slurping half a pound of beef noodles by himself, with an extra half pound of meat sauce and a big bowl of fresh cilantro.

This time, he was about to embark on another journey. He didn't know how long it would take or whether he could come back, so naturally, he needed to eat his fill before leaving.

However,

yesterday's visit from the Moon God somewhat calmed Luo Di's ever-anxious heart.

He had a rough idea of his current level and proved that the path he was on was right, though he hadn't gone far enough yet.

However, he didn't completely believe what the Moon God had expressed.

"For an existence like the Moon God to seek me out so urgently.

It's highly likely a disguise or some sort of conspiracy.

What the Moon God is currently doing is indeed beneficial to me, but the ultimate goal is to get me to the Central Prison to complete the moon-watching.

It's entirely plausible to assume that the Moon God is too cunning to be effectively managed, still viewed as a dangerous element among the death row inmates.

Therefore, they have been completely detained, imprisoned for life.

They might want to use some form of vessel to escape from prison, and I might be the best container for that.

Of course,

another possibility is that everything they said is true, at least 90% true.

The Central Prison harbors more hazards,

a particularly dangerous figure, ranking before the Moon God, is planning something. Once it comes to fruition, the entire universe will be doomed, or worse.

As an existence rejected by death row inmates, the Moon God can only stand on the side of the Prison Director.

And we, the few selected through the Great Selection and entrusted with important tasks as prison guards, are viable investment targets.

The Moon God's current assistance is nothing too taxing for them, just a quick and easy favor.

Moreover, from the Shop Owner's perspective, this assumption might hold water.

On the surface, the Shop Owner said he was cautious, having come to Earth after chasing and killing Mura. In fact, he also intends to secretly invest in us, trying to influence the situation discreetly.

Sigh~ Anyway, I need to keep walking this path. As long as I can tread it through, I'll have the qualification to head to Central Prison.

Perhaps I might really be able to behead these death row inmates representing the zenith of divinity, even though my body contains no divinity."

Resolving his thoughts, Luo Di finished slurping up the noodles in his bowl, placed his chopsticks heavily on the table, and stood up to move.

[Fifth Hospital]

The Fifth Hospital, moved in its entirety from Mingwang City, has now become the largest comprehensive hospital in the Kingdom,

integrating human medical technology and supplemented with Hell's secret techniques.

Due to the prolonged dormant state of True Hell, the internal war between the Spine and Tumor People has ceased,

and as a new force, Moon City naturally has no war conflicts, just some small violent incidents that break out within the city.

Thus, the Fifth Hospital appeared particularly desolate,

Luo Di walked through empty corridors, eventually arriving before a ward.

Knock knock~

After a simple knock, he walked straight in.

Lying on the hospital bed was a person, a "person" entirely wrapped in cloth strips.

One could see a special seam around the neck, evidently due to injuries from yesterday's practice.

When seeing Luo Di, the cloth man actually trembled slightly all over.

"Hey... my dear friend, Luo Di.

Are you in such a hurry? Although I indeed accepted a task from the Moon God to take you to a very dangerous place, at least wait until I've healed.

That place is hard to enter, even with my cloth strips, they need to find an opening.

"How long will it take us to get there?"

"If we take the subspace route, it should take two or three days."

"Then you have enough time to recover on the road."

With a snap of his fingers, the previously empty inpatient department was immediately filled with the sound of footsteps.

Two muscular men wearing masks lifted the hospital bed and carried the cloth man away.

In the past,

such disrespectful behavior would have enraged the cloth man, possibly leading to severe consequences.

But things are different now; he retained the memory of being possessed by the Moon God yesterday, leaving him with no choice but to reluctantly compromise.

The cloth man twisted his body and jumped off the bed.

A slightly vigorous movement led to his neck unraveling, almost causing his entire head to fall apart into a mess of cloth strips.

Clearly, he wasn't pretending to be ill,

not just from beheading, but the Moon God's possession also took an immense toll. Furthermore, the final practice between Luo Di and the Moon God's avatar seemed to bring fundamental harm to him, still vaguely aching even now.

Yet Luo Di didn't care in the slightest.

After two years of acquaintance, he knew well how resilient the cloth man was; such minor injuries didn't count for much. He could even discern that the other party was stalling, fearing something.

It's highly probable that he feared going to the place directed by the Moon God.

"How are we getting there? Do we take the Church's starship, or do you have some other means?"

"Let's take the starship; I want to lie down and have a rest."

Luo Di suddenly turned and asked the most crucial question, "Speaking of which, where are we going? Is it really as dangerous as the Moon God said?"

The cloth in the area around the cloth man's eyes shifted, "Luo Di, you've seen too few places; naturally, there are things you don't know.

The world we are in, or rather the universe, is inherently strange.

Even for an exalted existence like the Moon God, restrictions remain, dangers persist, and death is still an outcome.

Not every divine being is as fortunate as the Moon God to be securely imprisoned in the Central Prison and continue surviving.

Many divine beings have died in the process.

Some, harboring grave sins, remain vile even in Central Prison, eventually executed by the Prison Director. However, such instances are extremely rare.

Because, the Prison Director doesn't want the divine to die, or rather, he doesn't wish to precipitate a worse outcome, hence choosing to establish the prison system to incarcerate the divine.

"What happens when a divine being dies?" Luo Di inquired.

"Right, you're an anomaly who rejected malice, possibly the only one of your kind abandoned by the universe, so it's normal that you can't fathom it.

The divine beings here, myself included, initially embraced a certain degree of insanity and malice when gathering our divine status.

This insane malice, as we grow, deepens as well.

Once a divine being dies,

the divine status shatters,

the stored malice and insanity will spill out, permeating cosmic space, influencing the beings here.

Hence, the Prison Director tries to avoid executing divine beings, especially those powerful death row inmates in the Central Prison, opting to incarcerate them instead.

But divine beings will inevitably die, unexpected occurrences will happen.

As a precaution, the Prison Director established a second plan: a cemetery designated to house the corpses of the divine, meant to contain the malice, limit the insanity.

Known as the Tomb of the Gods.

That's where we are going.

This area is exceedingly dangerous, with the Prison Director imposing special seals and concealment methods on the cemetery, hiding it deeper than your Earth, so much so that even the death row inmates don't know its location.

Moreover, the cemetery itself repels prisoners, sealing off entirely if a prisoner approaches.

However,

you're different.

Appointed by the Prison Director as a Reform Envoy, your approach won't trigger a sealing reaction."

"The Gods' Tomb?" Luo Di suddenly recalled something, "Was Emperor Mura's corpse buried there after being killed by the Shop Owner in the Central Prison?"

The cloth man shook his head, almost dislodging his own head, "No... Mura died after the Prison Director was already dead; no one sent his body to the cemetery.

Nevertheless, the Gods' Tomb houses other valuable corpses, even stronger ones than Mura's.

The danger level is needless to say,

I'm just responsible for taking you there; you must be very careful."
