Luo Di's memory still remained at the early morning when he followed Hunter to the gymnasium. As they engaged in combat midway, his memory began to lapse.

Hunter's true strength was beyond imagination,

not to mention the suppression from his rank.

Moreover, Hunter did not care about their current relationship, nor did he consider whether this was a school, as if returning to the earliest time when he needed to kill Luo Di.

He truly exerted all his strength, wanting to completely kill Luo Di, and he must do so.

At the last moment,

at the instant of nearly being swallowed,

Luo Di had one and only one chance to strike.

This moment was the same as that time, only one chance! If he cannot slash, he will die.

Luo Di did not focus on the swinging of his hands, nor did he concentrate his mind as usual, recalling the so-called techniques of the murderer.

But because he wanted to survive,

because the blood in his body was almost drained and he could not think,

he did not think about how to wield the blade, every part of him had no extra movements, his eyes were dull, even his tongue no longer gave any warning of danger.

Everything dissipated at this moment,

everything returned to the most basic instinct,

returning to the one thing Luo Di had continually done since he first touched a blade, a thing he had repeated many times.

He had slashed at the hardest targets,

he had struck down those he hated most,

he had also cut down those with humble malice whose names he could not recall,

he had also slain those strong and nearly invincible.

This instinct was once again triggered.

Slash...

Luo Di awoke abruptly from the dream.

But he was no longer in the gymnasium; instead, he was in the student dormitory.

In front of him wasn't Hunter, but the bedroom ceiling, his right hand making a slashing motion while holding nothing, yet the ceiling had already been cut with a crack, revealing the sky outside.

Luo Di quickly sat up.

Not wasting a moment, he crossed his legs to focus, once again recalling this memory, recalling that feeling.

This time the memory was no longer completely blurred,

Luo Di found that pure instinct.

He did not even notice the sound of water coming from the bathroom, nor did he notice the set of clothes folded on the chair under his bed.

The sound of water stopped.

Click!

The sound of the door lock being turned continuously tugged at Luo Di's nerves, pulling his consciousness back to reality.

His gaze naturally fell on the bathroom door, on the girl wrapped in a towel.

At first, he was puzzled, then quickly bolted out of bed.

Not rushing toward the girl, but towards the window.

Before the girl could say anything,

Luo Di had already dashed out, in free fall, head landing first.

Bang!

A sound rang out from the bottom of the building.

Soon, a young man with a bleeding head climbed up to the window again, the very Luo Di who had just jumped off. Fully lucid from the dream, everything seemed like reality.

Even so, he was still uneasy.

Until the girl in front of him proactively reached out and placed her palm on his chest.

[Blood and Flesh Fusion]

Luo Di truly felt the meaning of this term,

the girl's skin, flesh, and bones flowed into his body like a liquid, until they completely vanished.

A female face began to move under his skin, quickly reaching the head area.

Opening her mouth,

the girl's head was wedged at the throat, even signaling him through the reflection in the mirror while pinching Luo Di's pituitary gland.

"It seems your condition is serious... Luo Di, the dungeon is a must-go."

"Yes, I must quickly ask Teacher Guo for a leave note... Once I leave school, I must bid farewell to sleep."

"Should we enter from the dungeon entrance on Vortex Town side?"

"Let's go through Jiang Mansion, as we're still unsure if different entrances lead to the same deepest part of the dungeon. Since I've inherited the teachings and memory of Master Jiang, it's better to go that way.

However, Jiang Mansion is gone, transformed into Rose Manor, I need to negotiate with Mr. Rose."

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"If you go, Mr. Qu will surely go too, things will get complicated. I will find someone to go with me, Teacher Wu, don't you have a class tomorrow?"

"Can you come back?"

"I don't know, probably, maybe, perhaps I can come back."

Suddenly, Wu Wen's tone changed, becoming no longer gentle, no longer seeking opinions, "It's three in the morning now, Teacher Guo should have just woken up, let's go... Also, I'll accompany you to Rose Manor tonight."

"Um... alright."

Just as Luo Di was about to jump out the window, he turned to look at the clothes placed on the table and chairs, "By the way, aren't you coming out, Teacher Wu? Don't you need to wear those clothes?"

"I'm already wearing a moving and warm piece of clothing, aren't I?"

"Alright."

A silhouette again jumped down from the dormitory building. When they reached the teaching building, Teacher Guo was already standing beneath the building, as if he had long known Luo Di would set out tonight.

No need for leave,

directly leading them to the pre-drawn teleportation array.

No verbal communication was needed, just a simple nod.

Buzz!

In an instant, they arrived at the outskirts of the former Jiang Mansion.

The sinister woods that once required a fixed route to pass through were now planted with rose flowers, no longer containing any ominous presence, nor any barrier restrictions.

Just by walking among the rose bushes, the swaying petals would naturally show the way.

[Manor Gates]

The old Jiang Mansion plaque had been removed and replaced with a solid gold plaque.

On it, in vivid red, blood-like red, were written [Rose Manor (ROSE-MANOR)], constantly flowing and ceaselessly dripping fresh crimson.

It seemed as though beneath the solid gold, it was packed full of blood sac corpses, replaced periodically to keep the blood words fresh.

The hollow door was locked, with both sides of the surrounding walls carrying visibly strong electric currents.

An elder wearing a white aristocratic wig, dressed as a red attendant, with metal pillar-like objects penetrating both sides of his head was guarding here.

Upon seeing Luo Di's arrival, he didn't ask a single question, directly inserting his arm into the hole beside the door, verifying the electricity, and the door opened.

A mechanical voice followed from his mouth:

"Welcome to Rose Manor, the master is resting, please follow me to the guest resting area. Tomorrow at the breakfast banquet, Mr. Rose will naturally meet with you."

"I need to go to the former residence of Master Jiang to retrieve something, and then head to the dungeon from here, time is tight and can't wait for the breakfast banquet."

"This is against the rules, please don't make it difficult for this old man, Mr. Luo Di."

Perhaps sensing Luo Di's ill intent or that hidden latent killing intent.

For a moment,

at least thirty pairs of eyes glared from the darkness of the manor, four pairs among them shining extremely bright red, indicating their high quality of kills, all belonging to the elite among the Black Door creatures.

And at this moment.

A graceful music began to play in the manor,

with the music, the pathway lights leading to the central estate were lit one by one.

It was clearly visible the mansion which once belonged to Master Jiang had been completely renewed, transformed into a substantial Victorian-style estate.

The eyes throughout the manor vanished completely, and the face of the old gatekeeper was swapped.

"Mr. Rose invites you, come with me, as this is truly an unusual visitor at this time."

Inside the mansion.

Luo Di was arranged to sit in the banquet hall to wait, the elder also brewed two steaming cups of rose tea.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Rose is changing his clothes, he will arrive here shortly. Additionally, there will be a specially provided breakfast banquet.

This won't delay for more than half an hour, the related food will also invigorate you both."

"Thank you."

As Luo Di expressed gratitude, a woman's hand suddenly reached out from his mouth.

Hooking the cup handle lightly with her index finger, she brought the fragrant rose tea to her lips.

Despite the tea flowing along Luo Di's tongue, it intermingled into another set of delicate lips.

This scene left the elder momentarily stunned.

At the same time, Mr. Rose descended the staircase to arrive here.

Different from his former combative state, now freshly awake, he wore a mink nightgown, his two human legs exposed without any shedding, trampling on plush slippers as he took his seat.

His appearance remained unchanged,

human right face, golden left face.

The pupils of the human eye shimmered with rose-like vividness, while the eye socket on the golden face was shut with metal, unused.

Not greeting first, instead waved his hand.

A muscular servant, resembling a Frankenstein-like creature, carried over a pitch-black coffin.

"This stores the relics of Master Jiang, including his personal possessions. As his heir, it naturally should be given to you personally.

However, as the newfound guardian of the dungeon here, I'm also eager to know what secret lies at the deepest point below the dungeon?"

...
