Deep in the Living

Chapter 265 Dual-Phase Projection
[Border Town Prison]

Rody, who was sitting on the metal conduction chair, suddenly opened his eyes.

A large amount of ice was piled up inside the cell, but even so, the internal temperature remained above 40 degrees.

Ding! (Sound of metal breaking)

The metal buckles that bound Roddy's arms were easily broken.

Rody himself was not even aware of this action, he just woke up and subconsciously wanted to move his arms.

Looking at the lock that was destroyed by brute force, feeling the subtle changes in the flesh, especially the temperature that was far higher than the normal temperature of the human body.

“My body…changed?
Did the body forged in the real hell also affect the real body through [projection]? I am afraid it is not just an influence, it can even be said to be a synchronous enhancement. "

Luo Di tried to clench his fist and punch, and the feeling was different from before. The hardness, muscle density and strength were all improved.

Just as the Voice of Hell said, it is this kind of molded flesh that can support the further growth of the spine and carry Rody towards the [Gate of Ascension].

but,

Rody looked at his own face in the reflection of the broken metal. His hair was still black and his chin was normal, which was different from his image in hell.

Feeling the evolution of the body,
Feeling the reverse influence of hell on reality,

The facial muscles pull the corners of the mouth upward.

This was also the first time he smiled since leaving Moon City.

Also because Rody forcibly broke free from the metal chair, the prison alarm sounded.

Soon a large number of prison guards arrived here, along with the warden, who was still moving in a fully automated mechanical wheelchair.

"Rodi, is your world journey over so soon?"

"No, because there are no costumes and weapons over there, and some things are very troublesome. I want to apply for my corner props, I don't know if it is feasible."

The warden did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked at Rody's face and his eyes that had regained color.

“Not only your body, but your state of mind has also changed.

It seems that you have figured out the situation in Moon City and have a higher level of understanding of killing.

In this case, your request is approved, but it can only be used during the "Connected World" period, and must be surrendered immediately upon returning to the prison."

"Thank you, Warden."

The prison guards around all had surprised expressions. It was impossible for a death row inmate of this level to touch any props, let alone corner props.

Since it was the warden's request, they had no choice but to do it.

Some of the veteran prison guards who had been in prison for a long time also discovered that the warden's mood seemed to have improved a lot after Mr. Di was imprisoned.

A pig's head and a coat were soon delivered to this special cell.

Put on your coat.

Wear a pig's head.

Continue to sit on this metal chair that can assist in the transmission of consciousness.

Because of his [Mature Body], Rody has obtained the official identity of the Spineman, and his connection with the real hell is smoother and more natural.

Normally, one can actively connect to the past, but can also cut off the consciousness pathway and return at any time.

Of course, with a seat like this assisting, the connection would be even better.

Power on connection.

hum!
The body shuddered and steam escaped.

When he opened his eyes again, Rody had returned to the familiar hive residence. However, this time he was no longer naked, but wearing a dark coat and a pig head mask on his face.

Since ordinary clothes could not be projected, only the coat that served as the [corner prop] could achieve consciousness projection, and the buttons of the coat were not fastened.

The current image is even more exaggerated than being naked, and even the label of "pervert" is not appropriate enough.

The "Recruiting Spine" that had been standing opposite the table before now flew to the corner of the roof, trying to distance itself from Rody as much as possible.

Nerve roots grew from the base of its spine, fixing it to the wall while also holding its wings in front of it.

Crunch, crunch~ You can faintly hear the trembling sound coming from the spine. It is obviously afraid, afraid of the breath coming from Rody, which does not belong to this world, a dangerous breath coming from the corner.

The breath called "Fear".

As Rody took off the pig's head and placed it on the table,
At the same time, button up all the coat buttons to cover the private parts.

After releasing waves of hellish aura, the conscript spine slowly flew down and returned to the table.

"Is this... a living product from your world? It seems to be related to the structure of the brain. No wonder it can be projected along with you.

But I personally don't recommend taking such things out, as spinalists are aggressive by nature and it's easy to cause misunderstandings and trouble."

But Rody didn't care. He didn't want to stay in the house anymore and wanted to go out and take a look.

"Let's go."

"Didn't I tell you? Such a living creature from another world will..."

The conscript's spine suddenly froze, because the alien aura it felt was fading quickly, and the inexplicable sense of fear was gradually decreasing.

Rody reached out and touched the top of the pig's head.

The flesh and bones were immediately absorbed into Rody's body, and eventually turned into an ordinary butcher knife, the most common metal tool.

The jet-black coat on his body became ordinary as a gray flashed by, no longer emitting any aura related to the corner, and the sense of being peeped like a camera also disappeared.

【camouflage】

Rody learned an important ability in the Moon City, which was also a gift left to him by his squad leader. Now he can activate it through his pituitary gland as a kind of auxiliary ability.

Looking at the ordinary gray-haired young man in front of him,
The conscript's spine trembled even more violently, as if he thought of a dangerous force from hell.

"… In addition to your contact with the [Prologue], Luo Di, do you also have any contact with [Evil Play]?"

"No."

This was the second time Rody had heard the name of this force.

The conscript's spine trembled for a while before steadying itself, "I think so~ If you have had deep contact with evil plays, they will definitely leave something important in your body.

You will inevitably be exposed in the process of [maturing your body].

Now it seems that this kind of disguise change should be the ability of your world... Sorry, I thought too much~ This is the first time I am responsible for receiving an apostle from outside the domain like you."

"By the way, is this [evil play] very powerful?"

"The most powerful ones are naturally us spine warriors, and the next most powerful ones are the guys who spread the plague... The pranks are not powerful, they are just dangerous.

When you officially join the Legion, you will have the opportunity to come into contact with these creatures."

"Well, can we go out now?"

"Okay~ Since I can't see the problem, the average Mid-Nest resident can't see it either."

"By the way, what should I call you?"

Rody could see that this conscription spine was an independent creature. According to the other party, this spine was a tour guide before he officially served in the legion. They should spend a relatively long time together, so it would be more convenient to ask clearly.

"You can call me number 5179."

"No name?"

"The name... It's a very old, vague thing. I can only vaguely remember the vague name of the previous owner of this spine, something like Fi.

If you don't want to call me by my number, just call me Feiji."

"Previous owner?"

"Yes, I forgot to explain it to you. "Conscript Spine" like me is a special product of the factory, which comes from those spines who died on the battlefield.

If the body's spine is relatively intact, it can be recovered.

The parts of the spine that still have consciousness will be made into independent creatures like me, responsible for some miscellaneous tasks within the army, such as surveillance, transportation, and current recruitment work.

I am responsible for receiving new recruits like you who have never been to the Hive City. I will help you get familiar with the situation here, and then I will lead you to the recruitment ground to start the most important service assessment."
