Song Lan has always been a person who likes to make friends, and after a night together, the owner of the fast food restaurant has become one of his best friends.

He learned a few things about Ward D from his boss.

The boss is not a traditional D-Zone person, but because of his identity as a cook, he was favored by the judges of the gladiatorial arena and sent his subordinates to "invite" here.

And the reason why he was imprisoned really shocked everyone.

-- Poisoning and assassinating company executives.

"I was wronged."

The boss sighed, "They promised me that they would try to save my life as long as I was convicted." ”

As it turned out, his life was indeed saved, and the price was that he was sent to this isolated prison, where he worked as both a cook and a man before being "invited" to Block D, and he was sent here to be a real ruthless character, and no one would waste their time on the "side job" of studying cooking skills.

Looking at the fast-food restaurant owner who had long accepted the status quo and was accustomed to life in the prison area, Song Lan could only sigh again that humans were really creatures who liked to compromise and reconcile.

If you tell him directly that you want to send him to prison and sentence him to life imprisonment, he will definitely not want to, but if you want to sentence him to death, he will be willing to go to prison.

"With your skills, you should be able to mix well here."

Under the cover of night, only the owner and Song Lan were left in the restaurant, he lit a cigarette under the moonlight, in his opinion, the only advantage of the D prison area is that there are abundant materials, cigarettes and alcohol, after being "invited" here, he re-experienced the life of a decent person after a long time.

But he knew very well that this dignity was given by the judge.

Everything on the street was the judge's toy, including the rest of them.

"Maybe it won't be long before that person comes looking for you."

"That person?"

"The true master of this prison district is called by many names, and the judge and his men call him master."

Since no one has ever seen the true face of the ruler except the judges, they can only refer to each other with some vague titles.

"They call the ritual 'metamorphosis,' and the prisoners he chooses come back in the form of shadows."

It's not just strength that becomes stronger, but also a character that becomes extraordinarily brutal and bloodthirsty.

He had seen the transformation of several of the shopkeepers, who saw "transformation" as a gift from their masters.

Of course, the boss did not tell Song Lan in person in the latter paragraph.

No one in Area D would dare to orchestrate the ruler behind his back, and if any bad remarks got out, he would be subjected to inhuman torture.

This outsider named Song Lan may be a warm and friendly person now, but who knows what will become of him after completing the transformation ritual?

"You mean that the change in the personality of these prisoners is related to the transformation ritual?"

"No, I'm not, I don't, you can't talk nonsense!"

The boss's hand shook, and the cigarette was almost shaken to the ground, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly emphasized, "You can't talk nonsense, if you want to ask me if I support the transformation ceremony, then I must support it." ”

"What are you so nervous about?"

"What do you think this place is? No more nervousness, even your life is gone! ”

This is Area D, where people will screw their heads off and kick them as a ball if they don't say a word, he has opened a shop here, and he can be regarded as well-informed, not to mention that Song Lan is one of the representatives of "murderers", earlier this person killed several patrol teams in the store expressionlessly in front of him.

The splashes of "ink" turned his shop into a murder scene, and it took him an entire afternoon to clean it.

By the way, judging from the posture of those patrol teams, most of the anglerfish were also killed by Song Lan, and it is probably not enough to describe this person as a "murderer" to show his horror.

It's hard for the boss to imagine what a person born with homicidal genes would be like after completing the transformation ritual.

"Don't worry, no one is stricter than me, and I don't like people who make small reports behind my back."

Song Lan patted her chest and promised, "You can tell me more about the transformation ceremony, I promise that no one else will know." ”

"You don't understand, that guy has eyes and hands, nothing in Zone D can escape his eyes, maybe our current conversation is completely listened to by him."

"You're being a little too cautious, if he really knows what's going on in this store, why hasn't he come to you yet? There was a terrible accident in this store, which led to the tragic loss of life of many law enforcement officers in District D. ”

If you look at the patrol members through the eyes of Area D, their role in this chaotic prison area is no different from that of law enforcers.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if Lu Xiang knew that there was a natural gas leak in a store in District 17, which led to the unfortunate death of several law enforcers, she would definitely immediately investigate the matter thoroughly.

"How do I think the problem with this matter is yours."

The boss's eyes were a little more melancholy, he didn't think that what happened during the day had anything to do with the "accident", "But you're right, if that person knew what you did, you wouldn't have been able to jump around until now...... Although you are very strong, there is one sentence I have to warn you, there are rumors that the strength of the ruler is at least a hundred times stronger than that of the judge, the two are not the same dimensional existence at all, rashly challenging him is only a dead end, I see that you are still young, it is the age of hot blood, don't let yourself lose your life because of impulse and hot blood. ”

"Then you don't know me too well, and those who know me well know that I'm not enthusiastic at all."

Not only that, but when he was in the Propaganda Department of the Seventeenth District, Zhuang Chi and Valian also gave him the nickname "Fun-Destroyer".

Whenever they were enthusiastic and wanted to do something for the seventeenth district, they would be poured cold water on their heads by Song Lan.

"Say whatever you want."

The boss paused, and his voice lowered a little, "Are you serious about the metamorphosis?" ”

He felt that Song Lan was a good young man who was rare in prison, although his hands were stained with blood, but then again, who could meet people in this place did not have a few lives on their hands? Even he himself bears the title of "poisoning company executives".

"Of course, it would be nice if you could tell me how to participate in the transformation ceremony."

……………………………………

It's been another long day.

For Qi He and others, who are under house arrest somewhere in Area D, the concept of time has long been blurred, and only the numbers on the electronic watch remind them that another day has passed.

Today is also the day I didn't get to see the ruler of Area D.

And for them, the only pleasure in this room is to admire the wonderful adventures of Vadim.

As the new day dawned, Vadim was embarking on his 28th journey, and unfortunately after his 23rd death, he had barely made progress.

Even Qi He and others felt the malice of this "game".

Emerging from the lab is an open facility where Vadim will face off against the mutated mantis monster, and in the next 5 attempts, both escape and confront have failed, some of which have forced Quiet to avoid for the time being.

For Vadim, this is not a combat game, it is more in line with the traditional chase horror game, and it is also an extremely difficult one-life mode.

"What's going on with this aberration? Much stronger than any kind of aberration I've seen. ”

Gustav was very sympathetic to Vadim's plight, and after Vadim was beheaded by the praying mantis for the 27th time, he finally couldn't help but frown.

Thankfully, when Vadim dies, he loses most of his memories of beating the level, including the process of being swallowed in his stomach by the deformed body and then swallowing it little by little, otherwise it would be difficult for anyone not to be driven crazy after 27 tragic deaths.

And this mantis monster is only one of the individuals hatched by the Devourer, and it can only be regarded as an elite monster at best.

For a moment, it was hard for Gustav to imagine how terrifying the Devourer itself was.

Qi He replied, "It is the consciousness that has been put into the device, the monster is not real, maybe everything he sees is a subconscious projection, not so much a monster hatched by the Devourer, this aberrant is more like an invincible monster conceived by his subconscious." ”

The world of the human subconscious is full of mysteries.

The founder of the Qihe Spiritual Ability Research Institute has this phrase on his lips all the time, and in many cases, it may even become your enemy.

"Therefore, even if his prosthetic body is not scrapped, once he encounters the aberrant monster, it will be the same fate."

"Why is that? Create an invincible monster and hunt yourself again and again, does this person have any bad habits? ”

"To be precise, an enemy that he absolutely cannot defeat with his current strength."

Qi He said, "The people in the prison seem to call this process the ritual of transformation, which is the only way for every person who is elected, and after the ritual is completed, they no longer need to be attached to the physical body to exist, and become a purer and more powerful consciousness, which is the ascending path of the psychic." ”

Strange as it may be, the whole process was a great gift to Vadim, who had been slaughtered again and again.

As long as he can survive this difficult process, he will be able to set foot in a field that psionic research institutions have been unable to seek.

It is foreseeable that at that time, the path that represents "nothingness" will become even more brilliant.

The only thing that made Qi He curious was how Vadim could evade the pursuit of the aberrant under this desperate end, according to the information revealed in the "Devourer Observation Manual Part 5", Vadim's exploration in this facility was less than 5%, and if he wanted to explore the complete experimental facility, he would probably have to pay the price of hundreds or even thousands of deaths.

On the 28th attempt, Vadim once again passed through the drain and returned to the familiar room.

This time, he found the trap located on the door "beforehand".

The trap had been set up by the researcher who had been assimilated by the Devourers to cut off the bodies of the intruders, but had been hit by the hapless Vadim.

The situation is not easy for Vadim right now.

Something seemed to be moving in the drainage tunnel behind him, and there was a faint crawling sound in the ventilation duct above his head.

Once again, he was locked.

The aberrant monster didn't intend to let him go as a prey.

Once again, a premonition of crisis came flooding back into my mind.

"The mantis monster will come from above."

Almost at the same time, Qi He heard the tooth-sore sound of the metal ceiling being torn.

The sharp blade cut a gap in the top of his head, and the massive body landed less than a meter in front of him.

At this moment, Vadim also sensed the subtle change in the warning.

The previous warnings had been direct and clear instructions, but now they had heralded the arrival of his mantis monster.

Does this mean that even those who gave him the warning did not know how to get out of this desperate situation?

Vadim's gaze swept over every area around the aberration, and strange hallucinations came to his mind again, still the same scene as he faced death, as real as if it had happened once.

This time, however, the vision included every way he could think of dodging in an instant.

No matter what decision he makes, he can't escape being slashed by the praying mantis.

The ability to foresee the future can also lead to despair.

He just met the mantis's amber eyes, which had no emotional fluctuations in its gaze, and all its actions were driven by a sheer desire to eat.

A second is a long time.

The next moment, Vadim noticed a change in the mantis monster's eyes, and he read the emotion of fear in it.

The body that was still dancing its teeth and claws before suddenly shrunk into a ball, and the claws that were sharp enough to easily cut through the hard alloy were also carefully hidden by it, revealing a pitiful, weak, and helpless look that made Vadim freeze in place for a moment.

Don't......

At this critical juncture, he suddenly awakened some kind of natural energy, powerful enough to make this aberrant look down on him?

He remembered the final battle in the 4th district.

In the face of that incomparable mechanical creation, the man named Roger also greeted the other party without hesitation at that time, and this time, the good luck of "natural energy" was rewarded on his head?

No, it's not.

Moments later, Vadim noticed something unusual.

The fear of the mantis monster did not come from him, but from something that existed behind him.

He immediately remembered the uninvited guest who was about to burst out of the slime of the drain, and reflexively turned his head, but what came to him once again subverted Vadim's imagination.

Behind him was not some kind of monster twisted to the extreme, but a young man.

The young man was dressed in casual clothes, and his tourist-like attire made him incompatible with the facility.

The young man's eyes lit up when he saw the mantis monster, he bent down, crept past Vadim, and somehow conjured a hamburger in his hand, and handed the burger to the aberrant monster as if he were feeding a small animal.

This aberrant monster, which had been extremely brutal a few seconds ago, suddenly rubbed the young man's palm affectionately like a docile kitten.

"You...... Who are you? ”

"Mystery Merchant."

"Mystery Merchant!?"

"Congratulations, Mr. Vadim, since the number of your deaths has reached 25, the mysterious easter egg has been triggered, and during your adventure, there will be a chance to encounter the mysterious merchant, where you can buy powerful equipment to help you overcome all kinds of difficulties!"
