Deep in the Living

Chapter 360: Fake Person Incident
Black clouds gathered at the bottom of the sky, almost pressing down on the roof.
The strong wind blew through the city wildly, carrying dead leaves, as if trying to blow away the vitality of all living things.

The area where Luo Di is currently located is an old resettlement community, and the place he just walked out of is a buffet restaurant with a sign saying "Store for Transfer".

Due to the blockade by the Investigation Bureau, the entire resettlement community was empty. Either everyone had been evacuated in advance, or the area had been completely occupied.

Although there are seven buildings in the community, Rody's eyes are already fixed on the building at the deepest part.

the reason is simple,
Because there was a person hanging at the entrance of the stairs downstairs of the unit building. From a distance, it seemed that he was hanging, with his back facing Luo Di.

What's strange is that the hanged man's neck was dragged very long, exceeding the length of a normal human.

Luo Di did not hesitate and walked straight over. Exploring suspicious areas first would definitely save time, and exploration efficiency should also be taken into consideration.

Along the way, you will pass by the children's playground in the community.
Hehe ~
Rody could vaguely hear the laughter of children, but his tongue did not sense any danger.

Turning your head to look,

The swings and the big round turntable were swaying and turning under the influence of the strong wind, as if there were real children playing on them.

Rody vaguely felt that he had seen such a scene somewhere before, but he seemed to have forgotten it.

After a quick check to see if there was anything unusual in the playground, we continued walking towards the deepest apartment building.

As I got closer, I finally saw it clearly.

The long-necked corpse hanging at the door was not an ordinary resident, but an investigator. The investigator's uniform on the other person was very familiar to Luo Di.

As I continued to move closer,

The tongue in his mouth curled up slightly.

Meaning the body could be dangerous.

But Rody did not take the knife, nor did he summon the crow. Such a dangerous situation only required normal handling.

As he slowly approached in heavy leather shoes, Rody's eyes became gloomy.

Tap tap tap~
When the size 45 leather shoes were ten meters away from the body,
The thick hemp rope hanging around the corpse's neck began to twist.
The corpse was slowly twisted to the front, its neck had been stretched to half a meter in length, and all the orifices of its face were stained with bright red blood.

The hemp rope was completely untied at this time.

The investigator's body was standing firmly on the ground.

However, the long neck was stretched due to being hung for a long time and could not stand upright. Instead, it hung in front of him like a hose, and his head also hung on his chest.

He rushed towards Rody in an extremely distorted posture.

【cut】

No handle.
Just bare hands,

Because the long neck was too conspicuous, Rody, who was originally planning to chop the opponent in half, changed his strategy to beheading him.

Swish!
The investigator's chest was torn open while his neck was broken.

The broken head fell to the ground, with a soft and long neck underneath.

Blood is flowing,

After a few convulsions, he died.

Not only was it not as difficult as expected, it was actually too simple, which even made Rody wonder if he was participating in the so-called Exploration Bureau assessment.

If you think about it carefully, what you see in front of you should just be an appetizer.

The purpose of this corpse should only be to lure him here, the real test should be in this building.

Before walking into the old apartment building covered with various advertisements, Rody deliberately passed by the beheaded body and gently slid his left hand across the surface of the body.

Some kind of hell pattern drilled into the corpse can not only prevent resurrection, but also have other functions.

Right now,

A lot of people have gathered in the personnel department's monitoring room.

By observing the corpse with an advanced camera with X-ray capabilities, it was discovered that a kind of gray metal began to proliferate inside the corpse. The shape and structure were quite strange, and eventually formed a whole.

“This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of connector ability… It not only contains Hell, but also combines the color of Mr. Kraft. It’s a bit exaggerated.

Conventional assessments are really useless to him, so this design is just right."

……

The light bulbs in the stairwell flickered.

Every time the flashing stopped, the two families on that floor would open their doors, as if calling Rody to come in.

Since the other party had invited him, how could Rody refuse? He maintained a standard professional smile and stepped in wearing size 45 shoes.

When you leave, your palms will be stained with blood.
Through the crack in the door, you can see at least one head with a long neck falling to the ground.

“Is this the crevice?
All residents were affected, similar to the whirlpool effect of the former Fourth Middle School. Ordinary people affected by the gap here would choose to hang themselves and become this long-necked monster. Is the ultimate purpose of the test, to let me stop the gap by myself?"

Roddy has not yet found the pseudo-human participating in the gap, so he can only search every room on this floor and deal with the mutants inside.

In this way, step by step, I arrived at the top floor of the apartment building.

The difference from before is that
The left door on the top floor did not open automatically and remained closed. This "difference" may correspond to the pseudo-human's lair.

Rody considered that he had been walking up the stairs with the sound of heavy leather shoes, and if the other party had ears, they would definitely know of his arrival.

Rody no longer tried to conceal his voice, nor did he choose to open the door secretly.

Instead, he raised his size 45 foot and kicked hard on the old-fashioned door, kicking a big hole in the door lock and opening it inward.

Enter the entrance hall.

It was indeed different from the hanged people on other floors.
The family of three in this room actually sat around the dining table, tying their hair with ropes from the ceiling so that their stretched necks could remain upright.

They were holding chopsticks in their hands, and fingers, eyeballs, noses and tongues were placed on the plates.

When you hear the door being broken down and a stranger breaking in,

The family of three quickly turned their heads, staring at Rody with eyes full of bright red resentment. Their necks grew rapidly, carrying their heads and charging towards him.

Rody still did not draw the knife from his waist, but just picked up the kitchen knife.

Buzz! A flash of knife light passed by.

Quickly cut off the too eye-catching and slender neck,

Bright red spurted out from the fracture.

It splashed on Rody's body and dyed his head red.

Even when blood fell on the surface of his eyeballs, he did not blink.

however,
It was because of the red eyes that Rody realized something. He suddenly turned his head to look at the shoe cabinet behind him.

There is a photo frame on top of the shoe cabinet.
What was shown was actually a family of four.
In addition to the three people who had just been dealt with, there was still a young son who was in junior high school who had not been dealt with.

What’s strange is that the youngest son’s face in the frame is a mess and his facial features cannot be seen at all.

Just as Rody arrived at the restaurant area to search for the traces of the escaped fish, he suddenly felt that the restaurant structure and the overall structure of the house were so familiar.

Just as Rody was trying to recall this familiar scene,

There was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from the stairwell.

Someone is coming up.

Rody quickly turned his head and looked towards the door.
The person who appeared there was neither a fake person nor a mutant with a long neck, but a junior high school student holding a drink in his hand. His figure was exactly the same as the boy in the photo.

However, the boy in real life had a normal face and regular features...making Luo Di feel like he was looking in a mirror.

The one standing at the door was him, when he was in junior high school.

When the boy saw the situation inside the house, his eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot. He wanted to scream but no sound came out.

But Rody had a look of confusion on his face. He blinked quickly to remove the blood from the surface of his eyeballs and re-examined the current indoor environment.

There is no such thing as a mutant with a long neck.
Three heads that he was very familiar with fell at his feet.
Three headless corpses, spurting their last blood, sat in front of the dining table.

There are also ordinary home-cooked dishes on the table.

The family of three were obviously waiting for the boy's return to celebrate his successful graduation and admission to No. 4 Middle School.

Luo Di slowly turned his head and looked at the mirror embedded in the wall.

There is no such thing as a size 45 pair of shoes.

On his feet was a pair of brightly colored clown shoes.

He held a bright red balloon in one hand and a red-stained kitchen knife in the other.

Although the blood on the eyeballs and face was wiped off, the lips and surrounding areas were covered with bright red, like an exaggerated bright red smiling face.

When Rody looked at the boy at the door again,
Just happened to cast such a smiling face over.

…………

Drop drop!
In the monitoring room,

In the picture, Roddy's fear value was rising rapidly. When it was about to reach the limit, it suddenly reached the limit!
What’s even more bizarre is that the fear value of the daily limit immediately fell to zero at a faster rate.

Instead, another value grew rapidly, reaching an out-of-control level, causing alarms to sound.

≮Warning! Warning! Test subject Luo Di's danger index has reached the highest level I≯
