Deep in the Living

Chapter 279 Falling into the abyss
The female demon in front of him, who was related to the Prologue, looked more like a human from the perspective of appearance and body shape. From Rody's aesthetic point of view, she looked more pleasing to the eye and more approachable than the Spine.

White hair over ears.

The girl's facial skin was a sickly cold white, but her eyes had demonic features, with pure black irises surrounding needle-tip-sized pale pupils.

The high nose bridge is pierced by a steel pipe, which seems to be able to perform more important tasks besides breathing.

The lips are painted with metallic black lipstick, or they are just that color. The mouth is also completely closed, without any breathing.

As far as the face is concerned, it is very consistent with human aesthetics. If you leave aside the metal decorations, eyeballs and lip color, it is easy to think of a Nordic girl.

But underneath this face of a female in her twenties, she has an extremely exaggerated figure.

The whole body is covered with the "black leather jacket" that belongs exclusively to the Prologue, and it does not have any metal structures such as rivets and hooks like Mr. Hawke.

This is pure combat leather, smooth and with a faint metallic luster.

The high collar is fitted, highlighting the muscles of her body.

Such a strong body inevitably reminded Rody of his former partner, Anna. The two had very similar figures.

In addition to her muscular lines, the most eye-catching part is her neck, which is embedded with 7 miniature aerial iron pillars arranged in a circle, which are used for breathing, or even her entire respiratory system.

Looking at the aerial iron pillar inserted into her neck and the giant iron rod in her hand.

The metal features of the opponent must be directly related to this type of metal column, which is very different from the hooks used by Mr. Hawke for punishment and torture, and should correspond to intuitive physical destruction.

and,

Rody could also vaguely hear some subtle metallic collision sounds, as if coming from within the woman's body.

Some kind of engine-like operation caused tiny iron rods to collide inside her body.

The female in front of him who belongs to the Prologue Group is very strong, and judging from her search behavior when she first entered the store, she might have been looking for this "rat".

Since the other party was professional, Rody quickly constructed the most effective cooperation plan in his mind.

The two looked at each other, and Rody's voice came through like a whisper:

"Maybe I can pinpoint the source of these rats."

The white-haired girl showed a surprised expression. She obviously didn't trust "strangers" very much.

But considering that the other party can control the crow horse, and also has the messenger mark of the Chaos Hive City, and most importantly, the metal properties of the torture chamber.

Finally chose to believe.

"They have already hidden themselves, and it is almost impossible to find them... One minute! If we can't find them, we must leave here. The endless swarm of rats can even bite through metal, and the shadow of the evil play will completely devour us."

"Let's go to the middle level area of ​​this hotel first."

After a brief chat,
The dark creature gathered by the rats has already chased out.

Rody currently does not have any means of large-scale destruction and is only proficient in one-on-one combat. Faced with the pursuing swarm of rats, he can only choose to flee madly.

Unexpectedly, the woman raised the giant iron rod in her hand high.

despair!
Rody's tongue snapped suddenly, and he quickly called the crows back and put them into his coat, and he quickly pressed himself against the wall.

The iron rod hits down, and heavy pressure comes!
Even though the iron rod was not aimed at Rody, it made his knees bend slightly.

boom!
The rat creatures that chased after them were all crushed to pieces, and tiny iron pillars were inserted between their broken bodies to prevent regeneration.

Not only that.

The special stone floor was broken into pieces, and the two followed the rubble to the next floor.

"Hmm? Going downstairs like this?"

Rody looked at the big hole on his head and nodded.

Just like that~ As the woman continued to swing the stick in her hand, she forcibly sent the two men from the top floor (13th floor) to the middle floor (7th floor).

The rats encountered along the way were either smashed to pieces or blown away.

Rody also gradually discovered that this strange power was not just pure strength, but the combined effect of some kind of iron pillar power source in the opponent's body.

At least she was incredibly strong in physical combat.

"We've reached the seventh floor. Come and look for it."

The iron rod was retracted, and the girl looked at the young man in front of her doubtfully. If the other party could not come up with any special means, she would abandon him and flee the hotel immediately.

Her physical strength is limited, but the rats here are unlimited. The longer she stays here, the easier it is for them to be eaten up.

however,
Her tiny pupils saw a strange scene.

The gray-haired young man did not release any perception.

There was no sensory movement, such as separating the eyeballs or pressing the ears against the wall.

Just picked up an ordinary mouse at random.

"You..." Just when the white-haired girl wanted to ask what the meaning of this was,

A breath of air was released from the young man.
A breath she had never seen before,
A breath that does not belong to hell.

Ding ding ding~ The metal structures inside the girl's body began to collide. She even took a step back instinctively, and the iron rod in her hand was about to swing.

The gray-haired young man in front of her seemed to have turned into some kind of monster, some unknown monster that could threaten her life.

next second.

A flash of gray passed by.

The mouse in Roddy's hand was not killed. He vaguely saw a tentacle-like structure that seemed to have drilled into the mouse's mouth, trying to take root in its body.

Snapped!
The mouse in his hand suddenly exploded, and Rody's palm, which he used to grasp it, was also injured. The broken tentacles turned into gray smoke and disappeared.

"what?!"

Rody frowned.

the first time,
His color markings were unexpectedly impossible to locate.

According to Rody's idea, these mice are all related to the existence behind the scenes, and he only needs to release color on a mouse to mark the existence behind the scenes.

However, the entire hotel was dimly tinted in grey, and all the rats and building materials were marked, making it impossible to locate the real source.

"Sorry, my mark doesn't work..."

The white-haired girl did not blame anyone, she knew very well what kind of existence she was facing. The other party had already prepared for it while they were asleep, so it was not so easy to find it.

The ability displayed by Rody was already amazing enough.

All the rats in the hotel were frightened by Gray's appearance and retreated a distance on their own initiative. Even now they were reluctant to move forward.

"Escape... Come back to the monastery with me. It will be difficult for us to deal with the things here. We just need to make sure that this wanted criminal is hiding here."

"Ok."

The white-haired girl continued to smash through the ground in the same way, successfully sending the two to the place where they first entered the store.

The check-in counter and the heavy iron door of the hotel are here.

when!
The iron rod hit the middle of the door hard, completely destroying the internal lock structure.

"Push the door with me!"

"Ah."

One left and one right.

Rody also burst out with all his strength. Even his butcher knife turned into pig skin to enhance his strength. Gray tentacles also wrapped around his muscles, and his spine drove his entire body.

Crunch!

The heavy iron door slowly opened.

The scene outside was not at all like the expected storm, there wasn't even a slight breeze.

It was pitch black, like an abyss.

Chick, check, check~
A strange sound of rats chirping came from the depths, and at the same time, rats in the entire hotel responded, even those rats that were crushed by the iron pillars were responding.

The sound permeates the space and disturbs the brain.

The gate that was clearly in front of me began to turn.
The entire space is rotated 90°.

From horizontal to vertical!
The two people who pushed the door were stunned for a short time by the rat's hissing sound. When they came to their senses, they had already fallen into the abyss...

There are no walls to support yourself, no way to slow down.

After falling for hundreds of meters,
Snapped!
I thought I would fall hard, but instead my body landed in a quagmire filled with smelly and sticky substances, with all kinds of broken organs mixed with rat excrement.

The strong smell permeated the respiratory tract, as if a swarm of rats was tearing at the stomach.

But Rody's attention was attracted by a wonder at the bottom of the abyss.

A huge door.
A gate made of corpses of guests staying at the hotel.
A door that exudes the breath of hell.

"This is... the gate to ascending demons!"

Luo Di had only heard of the relevant concept, but when he saw the door, he immediately came to a conclusion. It seemed that as a spine, as a creature of the real hell, he knew the concept of the door without understanding it.

But this door to ascend to the devil does not belong to him, but to someone else.

Once you complete the construction and walk through this door, you will achieve the *Great Ascension*.

Just as the two's eyes were drawn to the [door],
Something is rising rapidly from the depths of the foul-smelling, sticky quagmire...
