Deep in the Living

Chapter 420 Contradictions
Some kind of living thing was mixed in with the food, like a parasite, but very strange.

Rody's current understanding of the body has reached a level that he believes is quite advanced, and he can detect any abnormality in the body immediately.

Whether it is the hell wire belonging to the torture chamber or the tentacles from the pituitary gland, they can serve as a medium of perception within the body.

But this time it couldn't be cleaned up.

The parasite-like structure disappears immediately after entering the esophagus, as if it has penetrated the esophagus and settled in a certain area of ​​the body, completely hiding itself.

Unable to be discovered by the wire, nor infected by the gray,

This is a higher-level substance, most likely a creation related to Mr. Question Mark.

Looking at the delicious food left in front of him, Rody still had some physical resistance, but time was limited so he had to bite the bullet and eat it.

The same thing happened to the tooth boy sitting opposite. His teeth were trembling slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and endured eating with Rody, eating the same amount of food.

Whether it's meatballs, steak or vegetables,

As long as you put it in your mouth and chew it, something like a roundworm will crawl out. The smell is just like a mixed smell of a lot of stink bugs crawling into an unsealed kimchi jar, soaking and rotting.

With amazing perseverance, the two of them finished all the dishes on the table.

Just when they finished their last bite of food,
Pfft!
There was a pumping sound coming from inside the body.
Not the heart, but something else inside the body.

The parasites that had disappeared before were currently gathering in the abdomen of the two people, forming a fetal structure.

Rody had relevant experience and knew very well what might happen next.

Something was draining his vitality at a very fast rate, absorbing even the nutrients from his old spine and even the gray tentacles.

"Cut it open quickly!"

Rody yelled and took action first, pointing the butcher knife at his abdomen and performing a self-cesarean section.

really,

An egg is buried in the intestines, and the black blood vessels on the surface of the egg form a question mark pattern.

"The final level was indeed designed by Mr. Question Mark himself."

Swish!
When the blade cut through the egg's skin, a black creature that looked like an alien instantly broke out of the body. It had only been gestating in the body for a few seconds, but its body had already reached nearly one meter in length.

The strangest thing is the monster’s head, which also appears in the shape of a question mark.

When the fetus breaks out,
As the mother, Roddy instantly fell into a weak state, and all her body functions suddenly declined.

The alien hatchling immediately opened its big mouth full of acid, as if trying to find "nutrition" from its mother, and locked onto Rody's head.

The tiny mouthparts suddenly popped out.

Swish!
Rody's head was not pierced, but a faster strike cut off the opponent's question mark-shaped head.

Although he was weak, the urge to strike was his basic instinct.

However, the alien creature with a broken head was still carrying out basic life activities, waving its newly grown claws, trying to tear apart all of Rodina's exposed internal organs.

Due to his weakness, the second strike will be relatively slower.
When the intestines were about to be torn apart,

click!
The headless alien's body was suddenly bitten off in half, and the remaining half collapsed to the ground, oozing black fluids, and twitching until it died.

Rody turned and looked across the table.
Yatong stretched out his palm, pointed it at this side, and bit off the alien's body through the air.

He didn't even need a caesarean section. He could just chew the egg in his body into pieces, and then he only needed to take the dead fetus out of his body.

Rody looked at the other's facial features formed by teeth and nodded.

Then he used painful wires to sew up the opening in the abdomen, and at the same time let gray color diffuse inside the body to check carefully, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no extra foreign objects.

at the same time,

Mr. Question Mark's voice came from inside the house.
“Congratulations on passing the first room. Please take a rest in the room for the remaining time. You can move to the next room when the countdown ends.

Since you have chosen [Cooperation], you must not kill each other during the break. The one who starts first will be considered a violation and eliminated."

When the sound ended, the whole room seemed to be refreshed. All the stench and the corpses on the ground disappeared. This method reminded Rody of the photographer who was able to restore the scene through a camera.

Seeing that there were only twenty minutes left in the countdown, Rody stood up and stretched his body a little, trying his best to eliminate the weakness after pregnancy.

Just got up,
The hand with teeth stretched out again, wanting to shake hands with Rody as before.

Although Mr. Question Mark reminded that killing is not allowed during the rest period, he did not say that infection, invasion or planting is not allowed.

But Rody really didn't feel any hostility from the other party.

After some consideration,
Gnag, gnag~ A number of thin tentacles grew between the wrists, sticking together to form a glove structure, ensuring that it was airtight and held together with the tooth boy's hand.

The touch is really not very good, like holding the inner wall of a mouth without saliva, and the touch of the teeth is particularly obvious.

But there was nothing unusual about the whole process, it was indeed a simple handshake.

"thanks for your reminder."

A somewhat childish voice came out from the other person's mouth.

"Ah."

Rody simply nodded in response and then withdrew his hand.

If it were a normal, everyday situation, Rody might try to chat with the other party, or even ask about the other party's monster characteristics or origins, etc.

After all, the tooth boy in front of him was indeed strange. Rody had been living in the corner for some time.
He had seen lunatics like the Joker, the ghost that had attacked him in the underground garage before, and the completely bloodthirsty monsters in the pits.

But this tooth boy does give people a strange feeling... There is not even a trace of hostility.

Unfortunately, the scene was not suitable for extra chatting, getting to know each other, or even deep friendship.

According to the setting of the game, the two will inevitably fight each other in the end.

Luo Di also realized that Mr. Question Mark seemed to be deliberately creating this scene to put the two people in the same group in a state of contradiction.

Yatong opened his incisor-shaped eyelids, revealing the crystal-like white eyeballs inside, and glanced at Rody, who stopped shaking hands and retreated.

He seemed a little disappointed and sad, and lowered his head again and fiddled with the tooth bracelet.

Time passes in silence.
The countdown ends... Click! There is a sound from the door lock opposite, and the door opens automatically, revealing a dark interior.

When the two of them walked completely into the darkness, the door behind them suddenly closed, and the scene in the next room slowly appeared.

It’s like some kind of game, with the scene refreshing in real time.

This time it is no longer a luxuriously decorated restaurant but an old basement.
The door to the next room had become a dilapidated wooden door, and the door lock itself had become a separate metal U-shaped lock.

There were various dusty wooden boxes piled up around.
A special device is placed in the center of the basement.
A cube-shaped transparent container with a side length of half a meter was placed on a stone platform. The container was filled with a light green liquid, and question mark-shaped bubbles were constantly floating up.

Just looking at this kind of liquid makes the whole body feel uncomfortable.

And at the very bottom of the container lies a key.

Without even having to find the envelope, Rody roughly guessed what the requirements of this room were, or perhaps it was designed this way on purpose.

"I found it……"

Ya Tong quickly found the envelope inside the wooden barrel and took it in his hand. This time there was no prompt sound, and the two of them had to operate it themselves.

"Mr. Luo Di, do you want to open the letter?" Ya Tong stared at the other party with his crystal-like eyes, actively asking for his opinion.

Luo Di hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind.
"open it."

They both tore open the envelope at the same time and took out the letter inside.

Just as Rody had guessed, the requirements were very simple, much simpler than the first room.

"Take out the key from the container, unlock it and go to the next room."

But this time there was no requirement to share the food equally like in the previous meals, and it seemed that only one person was needed to take out the key.
