Deep in the Living

Chapter 123 The Second System
【Five minutes ago】

In the complex building of the Fifth Hospital, the cleaning lady took the elevator to the third floor.

She was assigned to clean the dean's office at this time mainly for another reason, which was to confirm whether there was any problem in the "interaction" between the dean and the special patient Roddy.

If there are any problems, she needs to report them to the hospital management immediately, and they will arrange for someone to help as soon as possible.

When the aunt arrived at the office door, she faintly heard a strange noise. This noise was different from previous communication or other things, like a fight.

The aunt did not choose to knock on the door, but took out the spare room card and opened the door quickly.

Once the door is opened,
The scene in front of her left the aunt dumbfounded. It was not as dangerous as she had expected.

The dean who usually looked old and frail was actually practicing Tai Chi with Luo Di.
One trick and one style, well-organized.

Although the dean is of Italian nationality, he accidentally learned Tai Chi while participating in an activity for middle-aged and elderly people a few years ago. He thought it was a very good form of fitness and practiced it every day.

Judging from the fact that the dean was sweating profusely, this Tai Chi session seemed to have lasted for a long time.

The sudden intrusion of the cleaning lady distracted the dean somewhat, and he accidentally used a little more force.

The balance of Tai Chi was suddenly broken.
Maybe it's because the ground is slippery.
Rody's retreating steps suddenly slipped away, and he fell backwards, with the back of his head hitting the metal coffee table in the reception area.

Bang!

The back of his head was broken and blood was flowing out.

The cleaning lady standing at the door was startled, but she immediately went over and took out the medical gauze she carried with her to help press the bleeding area on the back of Roddy's head.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep and it was not a big problem.

After giving the cleaning lady a thumbs up, the director immediately contacted the medical staff in the hospital.

Since the injury is not serious, there is no need to be sent to the city hospital. He should be able to recover after a short rest in the hospital.

However, the whole body examination of Luo Di was a little strange. He had only done Tai Chi exercise with the dean for half an hour, but he felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

……

The consciousness captured the waves of tingling pain in the back, as if several needles were piercing the gaps between the spine.

The pain made Rody regain consciousness quickly and gradually open his eyes.

What is different from before is that
This time I woke up neither in a hospital nor in a mental hospital.

A wisp of ashes drifted down, and he was still in the torture chamber, lying on the altar in the preaching room.

The memory in his brain was still stuck on the moment when his shoulder was pierced by the hook. He had no recollection of what happened afterwards and had no idea that a completely new system had been integrated into his spine.

Thinking about it carefully, it was still too naive. Mr. Hawke's strength was beyond imagination, and such a competition was simply impossible to achieve normally.

As Rody stood up despite the pain in his back, he could faintly hear a low-pitched conversation coming from above his head.

Looking up,
Mr. Hawke was actually chatting with the squad leader in the air, but I couldn't hear what they were talking about clearly.

The two of them seemed to be chatting enthusiastically, and even after noticing that Rody had woken up, they had no intention of coming down.

It slowly descended until the conversation was over.

Mr. Hawke maintained a thoughtful look, as if he had gained a lot of interesting things to think about during his chat with Wu Wen.

"Your world is really interesting... The so-called [Corner] is probably some kind of very high-level spatial creation, which even makes the world you live in become 'active'. This is why Rody and you can establish a connection with the real hell at such a long distance.

Ms. Wu's ability to describe and provide intelligence is much better than yours."

Before, Hawke was disgusted by weirdos like Wu Wen, but now he has completely changed.

Just when Roddy wanted to say something, Hawke's fingers had already touched his back, and the sharp hooks were gently scraping the surface.

"Congratulations, the 'pain' that is unique to our group has been integrated with your spine and has become your second system. It will grow along with your spine.

In addition, a few words need to be said about the nutritional intake of your spine.

If you want to achieve true saturation, you still have to adopt the "Spine" method, to kill, to go to war.

But if the spine is really hungry, or has a more urgent nutritional need, it can use "pain" as a substitute. But it can only be used as temporary nutrition, just as a snack, a meal, etc.

The real staple food must be something that a spine person would want.”

As Hawke's fingers moved across Roddy's entire back like some kind of massage technique, the tingling sensation hidden between his spine completely disappeared.

"Mr. Hawke, you wanted to turn me into this from the beginning, right?" "What else? Let me train an individual from another force, a force I don't like very much. I'm not a good person, I'm just interested in you."

"Thank you."

"in addition……"

Hawke suddenly exerted force with his two fingers, hooking the fifth thoracic vertebra with his fingertips. The seemingly light touch made Roddy shudder and stand at attention instantly.

“The [ridge pattern] you display is something I have never seen before.

Maybe when you've fully fed your spine,

As the pain system inside grows, this spine shape will become even more perfect.

At least in my opinion,

Your spinal shape and spine quality can reach [A] or higher.

From now on, if you are able to get in touch with the Spine, it is best to keep a low profile.

The spinal cord group respects the strong. After all, you are an envoy from outside the domain. If you are too ostentatious in the early stage, your spinal cord may become food for others. "

"Ah."

The fingers pinching his spine slowly pulled out, and Rody regained his freedom.

“Well, I still have to deal with matters related to the torture chamber. I have already wasted too much time on you today.

Luo Di, remember to be nice to Miss Wu. There aren't many women like her who are sensible and reasonable. The [female bodies] in the real hell are not so good, and each one is more terrifying than the other."

Hawke seemed to recall some bad memories, and his body trembled slightly.

These words made Roddy even more curious about what the monitor had said to Mr. Hawke while he was unconscious that could have caused such a big change in the other person's impression.

Luo Di even suspected that it had something to do with the squad leader's fake human ability.
When she was a student, the class monitor could often win the favor of others with just a few words. All the teachers in No. 4 Middle School knew her and had a very good impression of her.

Hawke waved his hand and took the initiative to cut off the connection with the world.

hum!
When Rody woke up again, he was sitting on a chair receiving an IV drip, with his backpack hanging on his body.

The old dean also stayed here waiting for him to wake up, and apologized in person for accidentally hurting Rody.

As a result, Luo Di didn't care at all. Instead, he was very grateful for the dean's cooperation.

"Thank you, Dean. See you next time."

The infusion was stopped and he left the Fifth Hospital as if nothing had happened.

The dean and the nurses here looked at each other in bewilderment. The dean had no choice but to light a cigarette, quietly return to his office and start tinkering with wire crafts, looking forward to Roddy's next visit.

……

【Youth Apartment】

It's late at night.

After such a fulfilling day, he was already exhausted.

Things related to the squad leader can only be discussed tomorrow, so I fell asleep.

the next morning,

When Luo Di woke up from the bed, he subconsciously looked at the floor under the bed, but the squad leader was nowhere to be seen.

The bedroom door was slightly open.

The sound of cooking from the kitchen, accompanied by the aroma of the dishes, seeped in through the crack in the door.

"Cooking?"

Rody walked towards the kitchen with curiosity, wanting to see what kind of breakfast the monitor was making.

Who knows,

Just as he approached the kitchen door and saw the woman standing in front of the stove, a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

Waves of heat gushed out from his back, and he could even faintly hear the sound of the engine.
