Deep in the Living

Chapter 172 Influence
Whistle rustle~
The sound of flushing water from the bathroom penetrated into Rody's mind.

Under normal circumstances, noise of this level, especially the normal sound of taking a shower, would not wake Roddy from his dream.

Maybe last night's nightmare also involved bathing.
Maybe Rody went to bed too early last night.
The sound finally forced him to open his eyes, but his entire brain seemed to be filled with thick glue, making him drowsy and unable to think.

There was only Hua Yuan sleeping beside him.
The monitor has disappeared.
Rody's eyes naturally focused on the lighted bathroom.

I think it’s because I went to bed too early yesterday. The squad leader might have woken up early and took a shower. This is a very normal thing and there is no need to worry about it.

But the strange thing was that Rody couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried to close his eyes. The sound of taking a shower always felt like some kind of sharp sound surrounding his brain, stimulating every brain nerve.

Rody had no choice but to wait until the bath was over.

But five minutes, ten minutes passed.

The sound of bathing still did not stop, and the people inside were still bathing non-stop, even after half an hour. Luo Di could not bear it any longer, and went to the bathroom with bloodshot eyes.

When there was no response after knocking on the door, he unlocked it.

There was no one in the bathroom, just the light was on and the water was running.

"Who turned on the water? Where is the squad leader?"

Luo Di walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet. There was indeed no one inside. But when he left the bathroom again, the scene in front of him made him stunned.

The squad leader who had clearly disappeared before was actually lying on the bed, and judging from his sleeping posture, he had been sleeping there without moving.

hum!
A strong tinnitus came over me, and my whole brain felt like it was filled with rotten meat. I wanted to sleep but couldn't.

Luo Di also realized that his mind seemed to be a little off, so he went to the sink to wash his face to wake himself up.

The clean water splashed on his face, which seemed to loosen up a lot of the rotten flesh in his brain and made his mind clearer.

But when he raised his head, he found that his eyes were bloodshot and something seemed to be wriggling under his eyelids.

Is it a blood vessel? Or is it something else, a parasite?

Is it a foreign substance that was contracted from the island?
Rody leaned forward in panic, almost putting his entire face against the mirror.

Use your fingers to pull your upper eyelids downward.

Try to see what is hiding under your eyes.

The squirming thing might have felt threatened and tried desperately to drill inside. Rody could only pry open his eyelids with force, making the hole bigger and deeper.

I felt like my entire face skin was loosening in the process.

suddenly,

thump!
Rody suddenly felt that half of his vision disappeared. He looked down and found that an intact eyeball had fallen into the sink.

It seems that the eyeball fell out because the eye socket was stretched too much.

This was obviously not logical, but Rody failed to realize that his muddled brain was unable to think at all.

Looking at the eyeball fallen into the pool, I felt inexplicably weird, and even a trace of fear began to spread in my brain.

When he reached out to pick up the eyeball,

I didn't hold it firmly and my eyeball fell down the drain.

Loss of eyeballs,

Rody could only turn his gaze back to the mirror and look at his current facial condition.

The empty eye socket did not bleed because the eyeball was detached.

It's more like a normal 'shedding phenomenon', similar to a snake shedding its skin.

At the same time, Roddy also felt an itchy sensation coming from inside the eye sockets, a feeling similar to tissue hyperplasia.

He quickly used his remaining eye to carefully observe the empty eye socket reflected in the mirror, trying to see the source of the itching.

In those empty, dark and deep eye sockets,
Rody seemed to see some kind of luster, as if something was about to emerge from the depths.
They were swaying, wriggling, boiling, abnormal structures that did not belong to the human body.

It seemed that some changes were happening in his body.

crucial moment,

Ta! The tongue hit the mouth violently, and the mirror in front of the eyes and the space were shattered together.

Wake up!

The bright sunlight shone into my eyes, and the vision that was missing in the dream was restored, but it was a little blurry.

It seems that because I had been sleeping on my side last night, the pressure on the left eye nerve caused visual problems, which triggered the nightmare.

As the pupil adjusts to the sunlight,

A face with all the advantages of a young girl came into view, and the mole on the left eye further magnified these facial features, making it as beautiful as a painting.

Such a girl was sleeping in front of him, with the distance between them no more than five centimeters, and she was staring at Rody from the opposite side.

"Mr. Di, do you have the habit of flicking your tongue?

"Ah."

"It seems that you can always defuse danger by flicking your tongue. This doesn't seem like a human trait, but more like our own kind.

Starting from [00:46] last night, your heart rate rose to 120.

Then it remained around this value for a large part of the time.

About an hour ago, my heart rate rose again to 160.

It almost broke two hundred just now, but as the sound of the tongue snapping woke you up, your heart rate gradually dropped back down.

You must have had a very real nightmare, a nightmare that almost made you unable to distinguish reality, a nightmare that made you taste the taste of fear, am I right? " "Yes.

Luo Di was a little surprised. It seemed that Hua Yuan had been observing him the whole night without sleeping.

"Can you tell me the details?"

Luo Di told it like he was telling a story. Hua Yuan felt a little unhappy listening to this weird nightmare story: "Am I just a background board in the dream?
However, it is almost certain that you have been affected by the monster's radiation, and it is quite serious."

"Misfortune? You seem to be okay?"

Hua Yuan denied it, “It’s not necessarily a disaster.

You are human and are more susceptible to fear than we are.

Even if you are not in danger, you will be affected by the fear radiation when you are in the area where the monster incarnation is hidden. At present, it seems that this effect only occurs when you are sleeping.

You need to be a partner and suppress your fear. Once you let this fear spread in your mind, it will be dangerous.

If it doesn’t work, try not to sleep for the remaining few days.”

"You haven't had similar nightmares?"

"No."

Luo Di is a connector and has great fear resistance, but Hua Yuan doesn't know it. Logically speaking, if he is seriously affected, everyone should be similar.

Rody deeply suspected that he had come into contact with something that his sisters had not touched, which eventually brought disaster upon himself and caused the influence of fear to spread more and more in his body.

"I'm going to take a shower..."

Rody went to the bathroom alone to wash himself. He secretly activated the power of his spine and checked his whole body. There was nothing wrong with him.

There was no tissue hyperplasia or skin marks caused by the so-called disaster. Everything was normal.

I think Hua Yuan also conducted a detailed examination of his brain and found no problems either.

What exactly is this method?
Even Rody became a little confused.

Moreover, when I think about the dream I had last night and the fact that I would actually fall into fear, it is so sad and blasphemous. I am not qualified to be a real murderer at all.

Snapped!
A fist smashed the wall bricks directly, leaving a deep fist mark.

This kind of emotional release actually made Rody feel much more comfortable and his thinking became clearer.

By the time Rody came out of the bathroom, the sisters had already changed their clothes, packed their suitcases, and were ready to start the long-awaited [original experience].

Rody also told everyone the only thing he could think of.

"Although the contents of my two dreams were completely different, they were basically related to the head... You should also be careful about things related to the head."

"Okay, got it!" Hua Yuan, who was putting on makeup, stared at Luo Di with bloodshot eyes, "You should be the most careful one. Let Isabella keep a close eye on you. If there are any problems, remember to retreat to her nursing home as soon as possible.

Let us sisters handle the troublesome matters."

……

【17:30】

A fully enclosed bus, completely different from the sightseeing bus, was parked in front of the hotel. Even the glass was bulletproof, with the word "Jungle" printed on the surface.

All tourists who signed up for the original experience had been notified half an hour in advance.

Although the limit was 15 people, due to the high price and the fact that most people don't like this kind of primitive life, only ten people signed up in the end.

Except for five young people including Luo Di, the rest are relatively old.

There is an immigrant couple in their fifties.

There are also three middle-aged men engaged in literary and recording work, each of whom is equipped with high-end cameras and more professional wilderness equipment.

One of the bald guys also noticed that there were so many young girls among the fellow passengers, and an unpleasant smile immediately appeared on his face.

After getting on the bus, he secretly used his camera to take pictures of the girls in the last row, especially Hua Yuan who was sitting in the middle.

The act of secretly taking photos made Luo Di very unhappy. He moved his body instinctively, as if he wanted to move forward and have a friendly exchange with the bald guy.

Xia, who was standing by, had already stood up and wanted to teach the other person a lesson.
However, Hua Yuan pushed the two of them back to their seats.

"It's okay, this is how normal people react when they see me. If they don't even look at me, that would be dangerous.

This weird uncle is very useful, just let him take a few photos secretly, it doesn't matter. "

Sitting back in his seat, Rody suddenly realized that something was wrong.

This time it was no longer the fear and dreams brought by the island.

It was the influence of Hua Yuan on him.
He would not help out for such a small matter, and he knew that Hua Yuan was naturally charming, so this was a very normal situation.

And it is even more impossible for him to help such a bad hypocrite like Hua Yuan.

But the action just now seemed to be done subconsciously, and the instinct was to protect the girl.

Suddenly, the monitor's hand touched me gently, and a voice came from my body:

"It's okay. Hua Yuan is on the same side as us. She cares more about the island than we do. She almost didn't sleep all night yesterday, checking on you the whole time, trying to find the connection between the nightmare and the monster."

This was Hua Yuan's natural ability. Any person of the opposite sex who stayed around her would want to protect her. 』

Luo Di nodded and looked out the window.

The vehicle started and drove towards the other half of the island.
