Deep in the Living

Chapter 45 Changes
Like a hungry baby who has had enough milk,

No more crying, no more rolling, no more swinging, but falling asleep peacefully,
Quietly absorbing nutrients in exchange for growth.

All the nerve networks that had invaded Rody's arms were retracted, along with the zombification effects. There was no need to even inject inhibitors.

The whole knife became even more "honest" than before it absorbed the blood.

The eerie skin and nerve network covering the blade actually began to fade away, retreating to the handle and turning into a bandage to increase friction on the hand.

The zombie knife actually turned back into its original machete appearance, and was basically no different from when Roddy first bought it from the supermarket.

Even the "corner" atmosphere that it should have exuded disappeared.

Director Wang also widened his eyes, holding his glasses and moving closer to examine it carefully, "Lurking and hiding... Has it really inherited the characteristics of that spider? I really found a treasure for you. I didn't expect this zombie's blood-sucking effect to be so good~ Logically speaking, pseudo-humans cannot devour each other. Is this the effect of cancer?
How do you feel?

Rodin was too excited and spoke more than usual. "It's easier to control. It seems that I don't need to donate blood now. I can trigger the 'switch' of this knife just by transmitting my thoughts."

"Can you demonstrate it live? Let's see the real side of this thing."

Director Wang seemed to have returned to the time when he first entered the Research Bureau, his serious face was overshadowed by the desire to study.

"can."

As Rody concentrated his mind on his right hand holding the knife, his mind sent the killing command to the pituitary gland inside the blade.

hum!
The skin wrapping around the handle immediately began to move, covering the blade once again, but in a different form.

A few tufts of eerie black hair actually grew out from the back of the knife, giving it a somewhat living aura.
Not only that,

There are two additional milk-teeth-like white structures on the surface of the blade, representing "zombie teeth", which seem to enable better blood-sucking properties when slashing.

Black hair, corpse skin and white teeth,

The weapon has all the characteristics of living creatures, which makes people feel uncomfortable just by looking at it, as if the knife can bite people actively.

“This…this has exceeded our expectations.

This knife is very valuable, and you can carry it with you thanks to its concealed nature. Next time you encounter a similar abnormal incident, if you are well prepared, you may be able to seriously injure the other party."

"Thank you, Director Wang."

What seemed horrifying to others completely satisfied Rody's aesthetic taste and inner desire.

From the moment the first tube of blood was poured onto the blade, his eyes never left it.
Feeling the changes in the blade and its more powerful killing effect, Rody seemed to be one step closer to his life goal.

Although he wanted to try out the effect of chopping and killing right now, he did not swing the weapon here, so as not to affect his new friends.

"receive"

All the zombie features faded away, returning to its original knife shape.

Just in case, Rody wrapped the schoolbag in a shroud and took it back. This way, today's work in the research bureau was over.

Before leaving, Director Wang still couldn't hold back the words in his heart.

"Although I am not a human resources person and I don't like to do things that go against the rules, I still want to say that if you have any ideas for further studies this year, you can apply to our Research Bureau.

I can help you get special entry benefits in various departments.

Even if you are not satisfied with the work in the Research Bureau, you can use us as a springboard to go to the Capital. As a municipal institution, we naturally hold the ticket to the EIA World Bureau. "

Rody did not give a direct answer, but just nodded and left.

"Director, this young man..."

The staff member who was in charge of delivering the blood had a complicated expression. He wondered how much effort he had put in to get admitted to the Municipal Research Bureau.

"That's normal. His personality is more suitable for the Investigation Bureau or the big companies in the capital. A research place like ours is really not suitable for him.

I just mentioned it on a whim.

I think the mid-year entrance exam will be very interesting.”

……

Outside the research bureau,
The squad leader walked at the front of the team with brisk dance steps. When his toes stepped on the last step, he turned around and looked at his companions behind him.

"It's so satisfying to see such a corner prop before graduation. Luo Di, your academic advancement this year will definitely shock everyone. Maybe even the elites over at No. 1 Middle School can't beat you. Well, you guys go eat tonight. I have to go home and continue my cram schoolwork."

Luo Di took the initiative to ask: "Squad leader, have your clothes arrived?"

"Yes~ But such clothes are not suitable to be worn directly, so I will keep them at home for the time being. When the winter vacation is over, I will wear them to school, and you will be able to see them then."

"How does it feel?"

"Of course it's beyond my expectations. I'll also wear it when I take the entrance exam. Don't lose to me, Luo Di."

Anna, who followed behind, saw their conversation clearly. She seemed to smell a sour odor and quickly covered her nose to avoid it. "Fortunately, I'm not in the same school with you guys, otherwise I would be suffocated to death sooner or later."

Anna also deliberately looked at Xiao Gao who was wearing glasses beside her, and found that Xiao Gao was reading very attentively, and there seemed to be a hint of satisfaction between his eyes and the corners of his mouth.

After the online taxi took the squad leader away, the three of them randomly found a restaurant nearby.

Because the class monitor was not present, the atmosphere was obviously not as good as the first dinner, but as Anna drank several glasses of beer, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

The winter vacation is coming to an end.

The second semester of senior year has arrived as scheduled, and this will be the last journey of campus life.

Although there is still a path to go on to university after entering college, most students, including Luo Di, will not choose to go to university as long as their physical education scores are above average.

……

On the eve of school opening, inside the Fourth Middle School.

The teaching staff have arrived at their posts early and are making preparations for the start of school to ensure that students can enter school normally tomorrow.

In the general office of the senior year,
A male teacher with a gentle face, a thin body, and who obviously was not good at sports, was sorting out miscellaneous items at the workstation at the edge.

The books and documents piled on his desk are the largest in the entire office, including some books that are not related to teaching.

Suddenly, a burst of sharp and hurried footsteps stepped into the office.

She walked straight to the male teacher wearing dark high heels that were over ten centimeters high and threw a document in her hand heavily in front of him.

The name tag she wore indicated the position of this middle-aged woman - [Dean of Academic Affairs].

Perhaps there is no need for this work badge, as one can tell it directly from her face.

She poked the documents on the desk hard, and her words popped out from the tip of her tongue like sharp nails, sharp and harsh, "Teacher Guo, can you explain it? Your class's cultural course scores last semester were second to last, and student satisfaction was last.

This isn’t the first time I’ve talked to you about teaching, right? "

Faced with the director's serious accusations, the thin teacher Guo did not say a word and continued to organize the books on his desk.

This silence, like a match, ignited the fuse of the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Looking at the various books on the table that had nothing to do with teaching, the director was ready to overturn them all in one breath.

But when she reached out her hand,
slap~
A strong arm reached out and grabbed it.

A man in military uniform with a resolute face stood nearby and prevented the conflict.

"Mr. Guo's teaching method may be unconventional, but it also has its own characteristics. I believe he will make improvements based on the existing foundation."

"Teacher Ruan? Let go!"

Although the Dean of Academic Affairs was still angry, he soon realized that his behavior was a bit extreme. "It seems that I can't control you anymore. I will report the specific situation to the principal."

With the director's departure, the atmosphere in the entire office eased.

"Thank you."

Teacher Guo, who was packing up, expressed his gratitude.

Teacher Ruan, dressed in military uniform, just waved his hand and returned to his workstation. He was the class teacher and had a lot of things to do.
