Deep in the Living

Chapter 210 Fear of Choice
Considering the dangers of serving in Hell and the fact that Rody, as an outsider apostle, might be excluded by the Spine group.

No matter how good Roddy's spine is or how talented he is, he cannot rule out the risk of being a new recruit.

Before officially going to the Spine Base Camp to serve, Roddy must have something that has nothing to do with the Spine, or even with the real Hell, something that belongs to him alone.

This is also the special system of the world where Rody lives.

And Rody has been looking forward to the comprehensive intake of the pituitary gland for a long time. This will allow him to understand the corner more deeply and end the corner faster.

Because Rody had passed the Spine's "recruitment interview" on the island.

Once his body fully recovered, his spine would directly project his consciousness to participate in the service ceremony. In order to delay the projection, Rody took the initiative to wear the "restraint ring" provided by Mr. Hawke.

This thing will completely penetrate the cervical vertebrae and be worn around the neck, which can greatly inhibit the connection between the spine and the body, keeping Roddy in a weak state.

only,
The wait for the pituitary gland took longer than expected.

Rody would meet with researchers from the capital every two days, either for psychological conversations or to examine various parts of the body. Once, he even cut off a pound of flesh and brought it back to the capital for "pituitary compatibility experiments."

A month passed.

Under the influence of the restraint ring, Rody's body was weakening day by day, and he was able to hold on until this moment only because of the strong physique he had accumulated in the past.

Finally, all the pituitary tests were completed.

Whether it is the Research Bureau, Mr. Hawke or the squad leader, they all gave safety and stability evaluations from different angles. This pituitary gland is the most suitable corner medium for Roddy at the moment.

Gulu!

Swallow it.

As the pituitary gland fell into the stomach sac, the acid swallowed and covered it like a wave, and the dark gray color on the surface of the pituitary gland began to spread in the stomach sac.

It is eventually absorbed in the small intestine and flows throughout the body using the blood as a carrier.

Rody did not feel any physical abnormality.

There was no expected rejection reaction.

There were no whispers or thought disturbances from the monsters in the corner.

Everything is so comfortable.
Everything is so natural.

When the blood, carrying color and digested pituitary essence, flows throughout the body and reaches the brain area, a touch of gray quickly stains Rody's own pituitary gland.

Axis-like symbols representing corners also appear on the surface of his own pituitary.

hum!
A slight tinnitus sounded in the skull.

A strong feeling of falling acted on Rody's consciousness.

Unlike the projection of hell which could reach the destination instantly, Rody could feel his consciousness falling along the cracks in the corners.

Snapped!
Eventually landed in an unknown area.

"here it is?"

When Rody raised doubts in his heart,
A whisper came,
A whisper that he had heard twice before and rejected.

The whispers clearly came from deep inside, but it felt like something was speaking into my ear.

He only said four words in response to Rody's question:

≮Between Fear≯
The whisper told the answer.

Pure white flame lamps lit up around, illuminating the current area.

An enclosed, circular area with six doors.

Each door is a different color and has an iconic symbol engraved on its surface.

1. "Red Gate" - a skin bag soaked with blood.

Just one look at it will make people feel uncomfortable all over, their blood will rush to their heads, and their brains will be filled with all kinds of fragmented and sinful images.

2. "Yellow" - A brain shaped like a heart.

One glance at it will produce a strong hallucination, and you may even feel that the brain on the door is beating like a heart, with blood overflowing from the gap in the door.

3. "Black" - A mask without facial features and expression.

When you look at the mask, you can hear knocks, bangs, and lock picking. It feels like there is an irresistible and terrifying existence standing behind the door, ready to break out at any time and give you the final kill.

4. "Green" - A wide open mouth with fangs and pus flowing out.

At first glance, you can hear obvious gnawing sounds, as if an unknown monster is gnawing on flesh somewhere, and this monster has smelled "you".

5.「White」-No logo.

When looking at this pure white door, you will have a feeling that your soul is leaving your body, as if there is a void world behind the door.

6. "Flesh Color" - An incredibly realistic human model.

When looking at the sign, there will be an obvious physical abnormality, as if one's own skin and flesh are no longer controlled by the brain, becoming unnatural, deformed and distorted.

"Six types of horror literature? Is this the initial system of the corner...similar to the "hell creatures" belonging to different camps in the real hell.

Once you choose a door, you will determine the direction of your fear. That should be what it means."

After all, Roddy was also a horror movie fan, and he immediately saw the basic meaning of these doors and the initial choice of the so-called corner system.

Suddenly, he felt nauseous and spat out a "card" from his mouth.

A dark grey card that doesn't match the colour of any of these doors.

One side of the card has coordinate-like symbols drawn on it representing the corners.

The other side of the card corresponds to a series of twisting tentacles.

The whispers came again. ≮You have a colorless card, so you can choose any Gate of Fear.≯
"It seems that not all investigators who come here can choose freely like me. The absorbed pituitary attribute will determine the type and color of the card.

interesting. "

Rody didn't need to make a choice at all, or rather, he had made his choice several years ago.

Walk straight towards the [Black Gate] with a mask logo, representing the killer horror type.

Swipe the card to open the door.

It will be completely dark inside, and all light will stop outside the door and tremble.

But Rody stepped into it resolutely, and there was even a strange excitement in his eyes, a sense of pleasure close to his dream.

As he stepped into the darkness and closed the black door behind him,
The door locks closed and the lights come on.

"Um!?"

The scene before him stunned Rody.

"Have all my memories been fully read?"

What is presented before you is not some corner space, not some place for promotion.

But it is Rody's [home].

A 100% perfect replica of the home, even the photos on the shoe cabinet are still there.

The only difference was that there was a delivery box on the dining table.

The recipient's name was Luo Di, and the sender's information was completely torn off.

Unpack the courier box.

Inside was a collector's edition movie gift box, which included a 4k UHD master disc, posters, postcards and the same diary as Roddy's.

The poster shows the image of the movie with Rody as the protagonist.

"Wearing a mask specially made in Pluto City, a dark windbreaker and large leather shoes, he looked like Mr. D. He was walking in the alleys in the cold rain, hunting for something."

As for postcards, there are several types, including mask patterns, pig head patterns, jaw-splitting device patterns, etc.

The only difference from a real movie gift box is that there is no movie title on the poster, postcard or disc.

When Roddy opened the most important DVD box and took out the disc inside.

Buzz! The gray card in his hand was automatically attracted to the surface of the disc, and turned into a burst of color, completely blending into it. The disc underwent some kind of change.

at the same time,

The CD player and TV in the living room were turned on at the same time, and the intention was quite obvious.

“This system’s way of accepting people is a bit too individualistic… It’s completely different from the real hell where you have to have a spine installed, or have iron wire implanted by Mr. Hawke.

It’s more of a self-willed thing.”

Roddy did not play the CD directly, but first took out the dumbbells from the bedroom, as if everything had returned to the past, back to his life alone, back to the time of watching movies at night.

While doing dumbbell curls, I started to appreciate the movie.

As the "Corner Studios" logo appeared, the movie officially began.

The story tells the story of four girls who went to an island for vacation and accidentally awakened a sleeping killer by breaking into the island's primeval forest out of curiosity.

It's a standard B-movie routine, but it corresponds exactly to Rody's memory.

The production standard of the entire film is extremely high, which is completely in line with Luo Di’s aesthetic, and I gradually immersed myself in it.

A large part of the first part is the conventional chase plot.

When the four girls are killed and only the last one is left, the movie is about to come to its final end.

However, this black-haired girl with a ponytail is very good at running and was able to shake off the killer's pursuit many times.

She also has excellent physical fitness. She used the complex environment of the resort hotel to fight with the killer. She even picked up a fire axe and chopped the killer's face hard at the last moment.

Zizizi!
The picture flickered, and waves of gray appeared on the screen.

The killer's mask was chopped off by the axe and fell off.

Under the mask was not Rody's face, but an unknown face covered with tentacles.

Snapped!
He grabbed the girl's head with his right arm and lifted her high up.

No felling,

Not crushed.

But... quack quack~
A gray tentacle emerged from between his palms, drilled into the girl's mouth and penetrated her body.

The girl's face was quickly filled with fear, and her whole body deflated like a balloon, as if something had been pulled out of her.

Snapped!
Crush the head.

The girl's entire body was completely crushed by the tentacles inside.

The movie is over!

Luo Di was attracted by the final plot of the movie and even felt a sense of resonance.

He felt something strange.
Looking down at my raised right hand,
At some point, tentacles were wrapping around the dumbbells, twisting and wriggling.

The whisper came again:
≮Fear Accepted≯
