Chapter 20 The Only Hope

Two minutes ago,

When possessed Anna uttered Gao Yuxuan's personal history from her mouth,

Luo Di felt as if his spirit were frozen in extreme ice, spreading a tension named Fear deep within his soul, as cold sweat seeped out of every pore in his body.

Ever since the practice began, he had never felt as tense as he did now, even more so than the prospect of death.

At this moment,

Luo Di stared intently at possessed Anna, his gaze as fixed as it had been on the previous zombies, a radical thought flashing through his brain.

"If I kill Anna, could that put an end to all this?"

However, such an extreme thought was immediately rejected by his true nature, and even he didn't know why such an idea had occurred to him.

How to break the game?

Without the aid of the research institute, how could he resolve this emergency situation at hand?

Hum! A flash of inspiration passed through Luo Di's brain,

He remembered something,

Thought of the night a week ago when he had just started his vacation,

During a night run when his running mate Luo Fei gave him a personal card, reminding him to call the number on it if he encountered an unexpected danger.

Due to the special nature of this practice, Luo Di also carried the card with him.

His memory was not bad either; with just a recollection of the matter, a relatively simple phone number came to mind, with no need to reach out for the card in his pocket.

Currently, possessed Anna was analyzing Gao Yuxuan's life story, an opportune moment to make the call.

As inconspicuously as possible, Luo Di moved his hands behind him, lightly touching the Ring to activate phone mode,

Since the phone number consisted of the owner's surname followed by numbers, the projected keypad from the Ring was similar to a keyboard layout.

If you didn't look at it while typing, the error rate would be quite high.

And Luo Di was someone who hardly ever used the phone on a regular basis, so operating it behind his back made hitting the correct buttons almost impossible.

He shifted his arm slowly, allowing the miniature keyboard projection to enter his field of vision, hoping that Anna would not notice this process.

Just as Luo Di lowered his head to try and see the letters and numbers projected by the Ring,

What was visible in the field of view had no so-called keyboard projection,

Not even the metal Ring he wore every day seemed quite the same, the cold metal actually looked flush, thicker, and felt like it was softly writhing.

This sensation quickly turned into an extremely nauseating soft touch,

No longer a Ring in his sight, it seemed like a tongue wrapped around his wrist, it even felt like this tongue could pry open the skin, burrowing into his body.

Forcing Luo Di to immediately dismantle it, throwing it on the ground to step on and crush.

Huff~ After a deep breath, looking down at the sole of his shoe, what was crushed wasn't a tongue but the Ring itself.

The change in the Ring made him realize everything happening in front of him was an illusion, a mental influence produced by the possessing Demon, and not actually taking place.

It didn't take long,

The Demon's gaze landed on Luo Di, the conversation soon to unfold around his personal history.

However, this gaze quickly noticed something unusual about Luo Di, seemingly unable to completely penetrate.

Possessed Anna twisted her body with a provocative charm, the tongue sticking out fluttered back and forth like a finger, gesturing for Luo Di to come closer.

"Right now, I still can't completely see through your [essence]... Can I trouble you to come a bit closer, so I can have a proper taste?

If you really are special, perhaps we can make a trade.

Who knows, maybe a few of you might even survive."

Without hesitation, Luo Di moved forward,

Gao Yuxuan at his side wanted to stop this dangerous act, but discovered that Luo Di's hand hanging by his waist made a subtle finger gesture, as if signaling him not to make any moves.

Although Gao Yuxuan couldn't guess what Luo Di had in mind, he chose to trust him for the time being and stayed put.

He suddenly recalled the time they had cooperated on handling a corpse, and that cold and scary demeanor of Luo Di.

"Could it be that Luo Di wants to..."

Gao Yuxuan stared with wide eyes, his calf muscles involuntarily taut as he observed every single action of Luo Di.

At this time, Luo Di had already approached the bedside, less than an inch away from Anna's bound wrists.

The demon's whisper came again: "Come closer, bend your body down to my face, don't be afraid~ You've touched me already, one more time won't hurt.

You'd better hurry up, I'm not a patient person, and I just might not feel like making a deal with you anymore."

Luo Di's thighs were against the edge of the bed, his spine beginning to bend,

with his upper body leaning forward, gradually approaching Anna on the bed,

their faces drawing ever closer,

the bound Anna also began to sniff forcefully, taking in a scent only a demon could detect.

Her mouth also gradually opened during this process, as if she tasted the most interesting scent on Luo Di's body, and finally deciphered Luo Di's 'story'.

"You!"

Just as Anna was about to speak, Luo Di interrupted her, their faces only a fist's distance apart.

"Speak, what's the deal."

"It's so interesting~"

The possessed Anna continued to change,

The pupil in her other eye began to contract, her facial wrinkles strangely reflecting the color of scorched earth, and her mouth even grew a mature "Second Tongue".

"The deal is simple; you willingly accept my Possession, the kind that doesn't resist at all... and I'll let your friends go, including Wenwen who left the mansion long ago. What do you say?"

"Will you keep your word?"

"Ah? You don't have the right to set terms with me, do you?"

Hearing these words, Luo Di directly pulled out the machete from his waist. This action actually terrified Gao Yuxuan, who thought Luo Di was about to kill his own partner.

However, the blade merely hovered at Luo Di's own neck, slicing open the skin, and blood began to seep out along the blade's edge.

"Will you keep your word?"

Luo Di asked again.

"How interesting~ Most young people like you are usually very afraid of death, yet you're serious. Don't worry, I'll swear to Lord Satan right now that as long as you let me possess you perfectly, I will definitely let your friends go."

"How do I do it?"

"Hmm~ I have already achieved a certain degree of Fusion with Miss Anna, and it would be very difficult to transfer via voice, so I need you to actively cooperate with me for 'physical contact'."

"Touch your hand?"

"No... put your tongue in my mouth, that's the fastest way, and it can also let me directly enter into your deepest parts~"

The possessed Anna began to move her jaw, opening her mouth as wide as possible,

Slurp slurp~

The two tongues in her mouth were perched on the left and right sides of her oral cavity, as if waiting for the "guest" to arrive.

Luo Di took a deep breath, moved the machete that had sliced his neck back to his waist, and upon further thought that after being possessed, this weapon could become a hidden danger to kill his teammates, he immediately threw the machete towards the wall.

The normal emotional process and smooth actions wouldn't arouse any suspicion in anyone.

The possessed Anna was the same, focusing entirely on Luo Di's tongue, desperately wanting to take over this special young man.

Meanwhile,

Gao Yuxuan, who had been standing at the foot of the bed "watching the play" the whole time, and due to previous suspicions of Luo Di having ulterior motives, had been keeping a close eye on that machete.

Now, the knife was thrown towards the wall not far away.

Gao Yuxuan unexpectedly discovered something stuck on the back of the machete that fell with the impact against the wall.

A card,

A special card with a name and phone number on it,

He instantly memorized the numbers and understood Luo Di's true intentions,

Raised in a privileged family, Gao Yuxuan began using electronic devices at an early age and blind typing on a keyboard was one of his most basic skills.

While the demon's attention was fully drawn by Luo Di, he slowly moved his hands behind his back, inputting the phone number corresponding to the card.
