Deep in the Living

Chapter 25 Past Events

The next morning.

Luo Di was lying on the hospital bed, holding a novel called "Exorcism". When he was completely absorbed in his thoughts, his tongue would still click unconsciously. He himself did not reject this sequelae habit, but regarded it as a kind of "trophy".

While reading, Rody could see through the window on the ward door that many people were walking towards the next room.

The originally quiet corridor became lively. In addition to nurses and doctors, there were also several blond foreigners whose physiques far exceeded those of ordinary people.

It should be Anna in the next ward who woke up, but Rody had no intention of joining in the fun and continued to read the novel beside his pillow.

Time slips away between the words.
Knock, knock! The sound of knocking on the door dragged Luo Di back to reality from the story.

"Please come in."

A huge body was blocking the door, and you couldn't even see its head. You have to know that the door was two meters high.

As the man bent over and squeezed into the ward, the first thing that caught my eye was a custom-made oversized suit that bound his body. Above the collar was a shaved head with a rough and savage face.

The pressure from his body and face alone made Rody instinctively move his body to the side.

Following that, a middle-aged woman who seemed plump and over 1.8 meters tall, and a young man who was about 2 meters tall, covered in tattoos and had a blond crew cut, also entered the room.

Anna, who had just woken up, was among the group of people.

It seems that she has recovered well, with only a shallow burn mark on her face, which should be repairable with laser surgery later.

Anna walked into the ward and waved to Rody.

But the bald man in the lead came to the bed, blocking the entire view.

He placed his head-crushing palm on his chest and bowed his head.

"Sergei Ivanovich, thank you for saving my daughter. If you encounter any difficulties in Jupiter City in the future, you can come to us for help."

A business card with Russian writing on it was placed on the bedside.

Rody just nodded slightly and didn't respond.

The bald man continued to stare at the relatively short yellow youth in front of him.
"Anna said you are in good health, and now it seems to be true. It would be better if you could grow taller. Maybe you are not getting enough nutrition.

You are welcome to join our family barbecue party anytime you are free. Humans need to eat more meat to grow taller and stronger."

"Thank you."

At this time, Anna behind them interrupted the conversation, "Dad! Didn't the doctor say that my health is very good? Besides, the service in the hospital is also very good, and I don't need anyone to take care of me.

You are not needed here. Go back and take care of your family matters."

Sergei wanted to refuse, but the middle-aged woman stared at him fiercely and pulled him over. "Anna, we will go home first and pick you up from the hospital in two days."

"Got it, Mom."

As the family left the ward one after another, the tattooed young man who was walking at the end deliberately stared at Rody on the bed, then looked at his sister, and then closed the door.

Anna was also relieved when she saw her family leave and sat on the chair next to the bed.

"I hope I didn't scare you. Even though my family may look fierce, they are actually pretty nice."

"No."

Rody didn't care. He felt the other person's kindness from the moment he walked in.

Anna clenched her fist on her thigh and was about to say the words of thanks she had prepared in advance, but the other party spoke first.

"Did you go to hell, too?"

"Hell? Are you talking about possession?
When we were working together to deal with the zombies, I accidentally saw the tongue demon in the woods, and then it drilled into my mouth and possessed me.

My consciousness fell into hell at that moment and I was fixed on a cross waiting to die.”

Luo Di nodded. It seemed that the situation after being possessed was the same. "Have you seen any symbols?"

“No, my eyes were only open for less than a second before they were corroded. I only caught a glimpse of a vague picture of hell, and didn’t see any symbols.

I thought everything would end like this. When my body was almost dried up by the wind, I suddenly felt something soft and moist entering my mouth.

When he woke up again, he had been sent to the hospital.

Rody, you..."

Just when Anna wanted to ask about the details of the removal of the possession, Rody interrupted again with a question: "What does the demon look like?" "Hmm~ Let me think... It looks like a dried corpse with burn marks and holes all over its body.

His head seemed to have two different forms.
Sometimes there appears to be just a single tongue connected to the neck, flapping haphazardly in the air.

Sometimes it is a normal human face, but the eye sockets, nostrils and ears are all filled with tongues.

Eh~ Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable.

By the way, they told me that you were the one who came up with the solution in the end, and you took the initiative to transfer the demon in my body to your body. How did you do that?"

"I have a unique scent that the demon likes, so I am willing to transfer here. Taking advantage of the demon's need to transfer, Gao Yuxuan and I worked together to contact the outside world."

"Oh, so that's it..." Anna didn't think much about it, "You can come up with a solution under such circumstances, no wonder Wenwen often mentions you in private.

After all, with Wenwen's personality, she rarely really praises people of the same age.

After the infusion is finished, let's go to Wenwen's ward to see her, because she was seriously injured because of me, and her studies may be delayed because of it."

"It's okay to delay for a few days, right? This practice will be of great help to my future studies."

Anna held her chin with one hand, as if recalling some bad memories. "It's hard to say. Wenwen's family is very strict when it comes to studying... Since Wenwen got into trouble more than a year ago, she rarely goes out with me like before. At most, we get together on weekends."

"More than a year ago?"

Luo Di also remembered something. He remembered that Wu Wen had transferred to the class in the second semester of senior high school, and soon replaced the previous class monitor with her excellent comprehensive qualities.

Anna explained: “Well, originally we were admitted to the same high school, which is also the best No. 1 High School in Jupiter City.

Although Wenwen was at the top of her class in middle school, she was not that outstanding in a middle school full of freaks and geniuses. Perhaps due to the great pressure from her family, her grades kept declining.

Later, during a physical test near the end of the semester, I got into a conflict with someone over a trivial matter and injured someone, and was forced to drop out of school."

"Hurt someone?"

Although Luo Di seldom came into contact with the squad leader, based on the impression he had accumulated over the past few days, the squad leader always had a smile on his face when facing everyone, and every word he said was very gentle. It was impossible to imagine the squad leader having a conflict with others.

Anna also sighed, "It's good this way. After transferring to your school, Wenwen seems to have returned to her original state. With her level and the proof given by this special practice, Wenwen will definitely be able to squeeze into the top 100 in the city next year, and may even be better than if she stayed in No. 1 Middle School.

After she recovers, the four of us must have a good reunion.

It's not easy to survive this time... Thank you very much, we will be good friends from now on. Just like my dad said, if you have any trouble in Jupiter City, feel free to come to our house. "

However, Anna's "thank you" that she had finally said received no response. Rody was staring at the door of the ward in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

Anna also clenched her fist and gently placed it on the other person's arm.

"Hey~ What are you thinking about?"

Luo Di was stunned for a moment and responded softly, "Friends?"

"Of course. Remember to keep in touch in the future. Although we are not in the same school, it is still okay to occasionally go out and play on weekends or holidays."

But Rody's jumping thoughts led him to another thing.

"By the way, do you have that habit?"

"What habit? Why do you speak strangely?" Anna was confused by the question and even reached out to touch Rody's forehead, wondering if he had a fever.

“It’s a habit.”

Ta~
When the sound of tongue snapping came out of Rody's mouth,

Anna was so frightened that she was instantly ejected from her seat and stood at attention. Her heart rate instantly increased, and her body could even vaguely feel the terrifying burning heat of hell.

She also quickly realized that Rody had woken up earlier than her and must have undergone comprehensive testing. If there were any problems, they would have been sealed up long ago.

"Rodi, you want to scare people to death~ Can you tell me before you make such a sound?"

Luo Di just said calmly: "I occasionally play the piano unconsciously now, I guess it's a side effect of possession, don't you?"

"No... absolutely not~ I have a strong stress reaction to this sound, let alone making this sound myself."

"Strange, you've been possessed longer than me. Could it be that I developed this habit because I was the last person to be possessed? Or am I not resistant to this voice?"

Anna looked at Luo Di with disdain and quickly stepped away from the bed. "I don't want to stay with you anymore. It's scary. I'm going back to the ward first. I'll come to see you later!"
