Deep in the Living

Chapter 258: Humans and Livestock

"Mask"

The first characteristic ability granted by the corner system.

The object obtained based on the mask designed by Rody.

Once the mask's ability is used, most of the gray tentacles buried in Rody's body will be called upon and cannot be actively released.

These tentacles are concentrated and spread between the masks, arranged like living threads.

At first glance, it looks no different from an ordinary mask.
If you look closely, you will find long and thin tentacles wriggling inside the mask like earthworms. Each of them is light gray and seems to be able to penetrate the nerves.

Even Benjamin, who has spent half his life specializing in the field of brain,

When I saw this mask, I felt as if my brain was being caressed, occupied, and penetrated by these tentacles.

but,

The mental protection he had set up deep in his brain was triggered and he immediately woke up.

Looking at the killer who was less than 20 meters away, he no longer held back and took out all ten needles from the suit room and inserted them directly into his brain.

The milky white liquid in these syringes is all brain essence, which he has extracted from the brains of countless poor people over the years.

A one-time overdose, combined with his ability as a system master,

A distortion has occurred.

His brain was swelling rapidly, and his skull was also growing wildly, reaching 2-3 times the size of a normal person. His hair was falling out, and his scalp was covered with blood vessels as thick as a little finger, also milky white.

Even Benjamin’s eyes glowed white.

He had never been in such a state before, and no one had ever forced him into such a state.

The wreckage of the car that trapped him began to tremble and was covered by a bright white light.

At this moment, Benjamin had an epiphany, and his thinking reached a higher level.

"Ah! No wonder those geniuses are rushing to the corner to 'die'.

It seems that I am short-sighted. The extreme threat of death will cause the brain of a living being to produce a strong desire to survive, and this desire will lead the living being to a higher level.

Very good!
I want to go to the corner too.

I also want to see what real fear is like.

I will give up what I have in Moon City and pursue a higher level!

I'm going to kill you before that..."

The voice just fell.

The car door wrapped in the bright white light was forcibly removed, spinning at high speed and flying towards Rody like a sharp blade... This was purely spiritually driven and did not rely on any physical force.

The car door was about to cut Rody's body open.

bass!
Something metallic flashed by quickly.

The iron gate was cut into two pieces and flew to both sides of the road.

The speed of the sword was so fast that you couldn't even see the process of the slashing.

follow closely.

The cars were dismantled by the strong mental force visible to the naked eye, and some were big and some were small, and they were shot towards Rody at a speed close to that of a bullet.

Because they were shot at the same time, the speed was so fast,

Even if the knife was drawn faster, it was impossible to cut off all of them. In Benjamin's opinion, there was always a piece that could touch Roddy's body and cut or penetrate his flesh.

However, Rody himself was not prepared to draw his sword.

Hot breath came out of his mouth.

His left arm was lit with a strong hellish scorch mark, and his palm was open and facing forward.
"Torture Structure"

Ding Ding Ding!
There were continuous metal collision sounds.

All the car fragments and parts were blown away.
The heat waves and steam quickly dissipated in front of Roddy, and a heavy and huge iron maiden blocked his way.

Made of infernal metal, indestructible,

These car parts shot at high speed can only leave some white marks on the surface.

Moreover, the Iron Maiden today is somewhat different from the one that was once used to hold Naventi.

Although it is still a product of hell, it looks more refined, and some metal bearings are even polished gray.

Blocking completed.

The Iron Maiden immediately turned into spiked iron wires and retracted into the palm of her left hand. The torture instruments were recovered and filled her left arm.

The road was littered with scattered metal fragments, and half of the car that had fallen more than ten meters away had been completely dismantled.

Benjamin, whose brain was enhanced, did not attack, but used the time gained by the metal fragments to escape quickly.

Escape to the Mercury Hotel one street away.

The powerful mental force turned into a bright white light and wrapped around his body. There was no need for physical strength at all. Benjamin moved quickly towards the Mercury Hotel in an almost floating state.

From what he sensed, Rody did not catch up with him and was still following him at a normal walking speed.

This is best.
This way he could get to the Mercury Hotel smoothly.

Just when Benjamin thought everything was going well,

His mental power detected something flying towards him at a speed so fast that he had no time to dodge. He could only rely on his mental power to quickly form a [protective shield] to block it.

But this kind of protective shield is just garbage in Rody's eyes.
It was completely incomparable to the color barrier formed by the color monster on the island. Moreover, Rody was no longer the same as before.

What was flying towards Benjamin at high speed was the butcher knife that Roddy threw with all his muscles tensed.

Not only does it have the power and speed, the surface of the blade is also covered with gray color, which can track the target marked with gray.

When the blade touches the pure white spiritual barrier,

The gray color covering the blade actually peeled off the barrier directly.

It's like having a restraining relationship that can directly break the devil.

"What!?"

Benjamin didn't understand why such a strong mental barrier that could even block bullets couldn't block the blade at all, and couldn't even achieve the slightest deflection effect.

No time to dodge.

Click~
Benjamin's spine was directly shattered by the blade, and then pierced through the front of his body.

Poof! As a large mouthful of blood spurted out, the connection between Benjamin's brain and body was completely severed, and the front of his body showed a picture of worry.

If an ordinary person had already fallen to the ground and was waiting to die.

But he was able to rely on his mental power to continue floating and moving. He just needed to use his mental power to stop the bleeding, seal the wound, protect the intestines and retract them into the body.

As for the broken spine, I can only think of a solution after I survive.

The Mercury Hotel was just ahead, and the warm light had already fallen on him.

The desire to survive once again squeezed the potential of the brain, and the mental power carried this paralyzed body successfully to the hotel.

Float up the stairs and push the door to enter!
When the bright crystal lamp came into his eyes, Benjamin felt like he was being reborn.

Perhaps because of the lunar eclipse tonight, the black manager in charge of this lunar branch was actually standing at the front desk to receive customers, looking at the visiting guests with a smile on his face.

"I request the highest level of hotel protection! All expenses will be borne by me alone."

The manager nodded and smiled in response:
"During the lunar eclipse, the hotel will take special management measures. The upper accommodation area has been blocked. Guests arriving during the lunar eclipse are requested to move to the restaurant on the second floor and wait for the lunar eclipse to end.

According to your request, I will mobilize all hotel security to go to the dining area to provide you with security services. "

"Okay, give me some nutritious meal for dinner."

"no problem."

Benjamin took the stairs on the side to the dining area.

Just as the manager said, the place was already full of hotel security personnel. In addition to personnel at the investigator level, there were even some special pseudo-people that had never been seen before.

A minute passed.

Ding!
The hotel door opened and welcomed another guest.

The mask on Roddy's face has been removed to avoid causing fear to innocent people. However, the butcher knife is still in his hand, and his eyes are full of bloodshot, revealing his murderous intent.

"Mr. Luo, as the district manager of the Mercury Hotel, I have the obligation to remind you. Once you kill someone inside the hotel, it will seriously violate the group's rules.

Your membership will be completely revoked, and you will be wanted by the group forever."

Facing the manager's reminder, Luo Di did not stop but followed the smell to the stairs. When he passed the front desk, he responded:
“I was just slaughtering livestock.”

The manager looked at the completely unfamiliar young man in front of him and suddenly realized, "Oh, sorry! I recognized the wrong person. Welcome to the Mercury Hotel, Mr. D."

……

Bang!

The door of the restaurant was pushed open heavily.

The sound of heavy leather shoes echoed again.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a completely different kind of murderous intent that spread like the magma of hell, and ashes floated on every dining table.

The security guards sitting here did not stand up to stop him, they just watched quietly. Or rather, they were suppressed by the killing intent, and even foresaw that they would be killed as soon as they made a move.

Just as several of them were about to stand up, they felt the direct murderous intent from Rody, as if a gray blade was hanging over their heads.

The sound of heavy leather shoes finally reached the corner.

Benjamin, who was paralyzed on one side, was sitting here with the sashimi that had just been served in front of him.

He remained calm and even slowly put the sashimi into his mouth.

There was no complaint about the service at the Crystal Hotel, nor was there any talk of the massacre, the lunar eclipse, or the strength displayed by Rody.

Benjamin was only thinking about one thing, something he couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried.

“How strange… our first conversation was apparently quite ‘pleasant’, why did you completely change your state of mind after just going downstairs for a few minutes?

What on earth happened that made you willing to ruin such a bright future, willing to be sentenced to death, and willing to stop pursuing what you long for?

What on earth was going on downstairs?

Who exactly did you meet after you crossed the crosswalk and what privileges were you given?
Why did you suddenly decide to kill me?
I really want to know. After all, there is nothing in the entire Moon City that I don’t know. Can you sit down and have a good chat with me? Maybe…”

click!
A shattering sound came from above Benjamin's head.

The falling blood dyed the vision red.
Benjamin subconsciously touched the head that had been completely severed, and looked at the young man in front of him for the last time.

He found that the look in the other person's eyes was different.

This is a kind of high position looking down on the low position.
It's not like looking at a person, it's like looking at an animal being slaughtered.

Naturally, there can be no communication between humans and livestock…
