Deep in the Living

Chapter 105 Mask
With the help of the firelight from the burning corpse, Rody once again discovered the extra white hair on Anna's head, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were more obvious than before.

Anna is clearly less than 19 years old, but she feels like she is almost 25 years old.

When aging can be seen in a short period of time, the psychological pressure it brings is quite strong, as if the god of death is standing behind you, moving forward every second.

But Rody suppressed his fear of death.

He knew very well that this was the effect the other party wanted.
The more panicked and anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Before launching a full investigation, before facing what is behind the nursing home, Roddy must deal with one thing.

"Let's find a room and clean up first."

【Clinic Room 3】

There is a separate consulting room on the right side of the hall. The door structure is intact and there is nothing abnormal inside.

The consulting room was furnished with a table, several chairs, a bed for examining patients, as well as a sink and a mirror.

click!
The door is locked, the windows are sealed and the curtains are closed.

Set the smart flashlight to fluorescent light mode and fix it to the wall using the long nail structure that pops out from the bottom.

After confirming the airtightness of the clinic again, Luo Di put the backpack in front, carefully opened the zipper and took out the "squad leader" inside.
Look carefully up, down, left and right.

Anna also came over.

But no matter how the two examined, they found no white hair or wrinkles, only marks of stitches on the face.

call……

After checking that everything was correct, Luo Di breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little uncomfortable.

It is a good thing that the squad leader is not affected by aging, but from another perspective, the squad leader is in a state of death and naturally will not be affected by aging.

After careful consideration, Rody thought of another possibility.

The squad leader's [Disguise] was still effective even in a corner-like space, and was not discovered by the fake person behind the nursing home, and even completely blocked the effects of aging.

After getting the answer, Rody put the head back.

"Rodi, since the squad leader is alright, let's go... don't waste time."

Anna was standing in front of the sink, looking at her aging self in the mirror, feeling a little impatient.

However, the only response Anna got was... click!

The familiar sound of snapping tongues echoed in the closed clinic. Although it had been more than a year since then, Anna was still startled and quickly turned back.

Rody sat at the table.
Hold the backpack in your right hand.
He stretched his left hand forward, carefully observing the wire running through his arm, as if he was thinking about something.

He was so focused on thinking that he unconsciously clapped his tongue.

He seemed to have thought of something, and began to write something using the white paper on the table and the pen left by the doctor.

Such strange behavior also attracted Anna. She stood on tiptoe and looked at the white paper. The other party was drawing some straight lines, as if drawing some object.

"Rodi, are you there?"

“All the mutants associated with nursing homes have a poison in their bodies that can accelerate aging.

My fighting style is close combat, and the maximum attack distance is the length of my arm plus this knife.

The efficiency of throwing is too low and there are too many restrictions, just like the zombie knife was stuck between the skulls of the opponent just now, it was a hassle to retrieve it.

If I were to enter a hell-related form, I might be able to ignore the effects of aging, but that form would be too taxing on the body, and it is also a trump card that is not easily revealed, and needs to be used only when the danger is most severe.

I was thinking whether I could use the characteristics of "torture instrument making" to create a mask to isolate the breath.

Using the heat of hell iron, the harmful components can be completely burned out before the gas is inhaled, so you can fight with peace of mind.

But there is a problem.

My left arm can only create things related to [torture instruments], and cannot create a simple mask. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Torture device? Mask? Jaw-crack device?"

Anna's thoughts jumped back to several years ago, when her brother brought a group of friends home for dinner and watched a movie called "Saw" outdoors at night.

There happened to be a torture device similar to a mask inside, which made a very deep impression on me.

"What's the jaw-splitting machine?" "Something from a Saw movie."

Luo Di prefers B-level movies that rely on physical hunting.

As for movies like Saw, which do not involve physical combat but are more about IQ puzzles, he had picked them up and put them back several times. After all, his scholarship was limited and the genuine discs were very expensive.

Now it seems I need to go back and catch up.

“Can you draw a simple picture and explain the principle behind it?”

The movie scenes at that time left a great psychological trauma on Anna, and her memory of it is very deep.

Although there were many details that could not be drawn in detail, the general shape was still drawn. As Anna explained the principle of this thing, Rody understood it immediately.

"Isn't this thing essentially a reverse bear trap?

A closed bear trap is secured to the head, with the plate inserted into the mouth. Once this reverse bear trap is triggered, the individual's upper and lower jaws are torn apart.

With a little modification, it can indeed be used as a mask, and it is essentially a torture device.
Thank you, Anna."

After getting the "inspiration", Rody began to try to create, and soon created a "jaw splitter (with improved mask)" based on the animal trap.

The metal on the front will completely cover the mouth and nostrils, but the splint structure that is completely fixed in the mouth has been removed, so it will not restrict the movement of the mouth and speech communication.

The spring structure of the jawbreaker itself has been removed to ensure that it will not be accidentally triggered during wear.

click!
The jaw-splitting device fit perfectly onto Roddy's head and was secured by tightening the screws.

Although his head felt a little heavy, every breath of air he inhaled became hot and dry, with a strong smell of sulfur. Only Rody could adapt to such characteristics.

The torture instrument itself will only be friendly to its owner.

Rody looked at Anna who was standing beside him. "It seems that you can't wear this thing. The heat of hell will burn your lungs."

"No...it's okay."

Anna's eyes were slightly evasive, as if she had an inexplicable fear of Rody's image and needed some time to adapt.

Rody turned and went to the sink. He also wanted to see what he would look like wearing the jaw-splitting device.

When the mirror reflected his new image, four words immediately popped up in my mind.

But the overall image still has some major flaws: the short-sleeved clothes he is wearing are really ill-matched.

suddenly,

Luo Di remembered an important thing that he and Anna seemed to have forgotten. He quickly went to the backpack and took out the innermost bag, which contained the investigator's uniform.

Before this, I had been investigating how to find this non-existent nursing home and how to play the role of an ordinary person. The investigator's costume cannot be exposed at all.

Now that we have penetrated deep into the lair, there is no need to continue disguising ourselves.

The investigator's coat was on his body.
Deep black, stand-up collar, hem, heavy fabric,

The temperament is completely in place,

The head above the collar was covered by the jaw splitter. In Luo Di's eyes, this image was too perfect! It was even comparable to the killer in the movie.

Anna also changed into it at the same time. The structure of the black tights perfectly highlighted her body, and her six-pack abs were clearly visible.

"Rodi, don't you need to switch your investigator costume to "combat mode"? "

"Although the structure of the coat is a little weak in supporting the body, it can effectively block the invasion of harmful substances."

Rody cares more about "appearance", as if such a murderer-like outfit can give him more effective support for killing, even better than the support of clothes.

Anna at the side continued to take things out of her backpack and took out a strip of material that was the same as the clothing, a bit like a scarf.

When you wrap this black scarf around your neck, the fabric immediately combines with the collar of the investigator's uniform, eventually forming a high collar structure that just covers your mouth and nose.

It filters the air without affecting breathing and speaking.

"This kind of [mask] that matches the clothes was applied for by a senior. Luo Di, you can also apply for one when you return to the Investigation Bureau later."

"It doesn't matter. My homemade mask might be better. Let's get ready to go."

After the reorganization is completed, the two fully armed men will officially step into the upper area of ​​the nursing home.
