Deep in the Living

Chapter 451 Transformation
"Handsome guy, would you like a disc?"

Rody shook his head suddenly and refocused his vision.

The scene in front of me is so familiar, a tall man with dyed yellow hair is showing off his good stuff.

Rody first looked back at the elevator behind him, then glanced at the brand new candle in his hand that had just burned. He was sure that this was when he had just stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the "sale".

Was there a disturbance in time, or was I affected by an illusion as soon as I got out of the elevator?
When Rody tried to recall what had just happened, he found that his memory was a little fuzzy, as if it was covered by something and torn into pieces.

Even if a lot of tentacles grew out of the play's brain and tried to dig deep into the memories, it would be of no avail.

I only remember the blue glass and the book... a very strange book, and there seemed to be someone deep inside the book. Fortunately, before the memory completely faded, the tentacles caught the key memory fragments.

"Comic books... yes, it seems to be comic books."

After rejecting the man who sold Pian Pian, Luo Di suddenly looked at Hua Yuan behind him.

The impatience on the other person's face was gone, and he became quiet. He looked at Rody with a non-aggressive but strange smile, which made him feel indescribably weird.

Just when Luo Di wanted to ask about the details of the comics,
Hua Yuan grabbed his hand and went back to the elevator.

"We're done shopping at night, let's go back to sleep. Tomorrow morning we'll see if Wenwen wants to buy anything else. If not, just wait until your good brother comes to discuss the time of action, and then we can return to the sisterhood."

"I have to go to the fourth floor tomorrow. My crow pony is still there."

"Oh~ So that's how it is.

You exchanged that hell creature for money, and I told you ~ even though grandma likes you very much, how could she cross the line and give you so much money.

She is a very principled and disciplined old woman... No matter how well you behave in front of her, you can only get a fixed amount of supplies."

Luo Di immediately got to the point, "You did get the comic book, didn't you? My memory of it is fading, and I can't remember what the comic book store looked like.

We must have had a special experience at the sale."

"Of course, otherwise how could I be willing to leave. And my memory is also fading, but as long as I have this book, it is enough."

Hua Yuan patted his chest, as if the comic book was placed inside, sewn between his flesh and blood.

"What exactly is a comic book store?"

Hua Yuan still maintained that weird smile, exactly like the woman on the cover of the comic book, which made Luo Di very uncomfortable.

“I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it.

The corners are filled with all kinds of unknowns, and in the depths of such darkness, there are deadly dangers, and perhaps also some opportunities.

Every person or monster that comes to the corner may be encountered.

Don’t tell anyone what happened tonight, including Wenwen and grandma. This is a secret between us.”

Looking at the strange Hua Yuan in front of him, Luo Di even felt a little strange.

"Yes...but only if you are fine."

Hua Yuan suddenly hugged Luo Di's neck and put his face close to him, "Hey~ When did you start to think about me? Don't worry... I won't die before you die. I am who I am. Although I desire the power to invade everything, I will never let others take advantage of me.

Don't worry, I'm just excited and concerned about the experience I just had.

Although I can get a stable supply of materials and exchange growth experiences with the sisters by staying in the sisterhood, to a large extent I will be stepped on by my grandmother all my life.

Now there might be a glimmer of hope, a different route around the corner.

I even began to understand why Wu Wen wanted to leave the sorority at all costs. She was indeed smarter than me in some ways, and she saw the limitations in advance.

Without your persistence, we might not have come across that comic book store tonight."

Lips close to the body,

Kiss on Rody's cheek.

This time there was no resistance from the flower stem, no further action, just a simple expression of gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Dee."

Roddy suddenly reached out and pinched Hua Yuan's cheek, pinching it back and forth several times, until the other party no longer had that weird smile on his face, but looked at him with confusion.

"What are you doing?"

"Confirm..."

"Confirm what?"

"Confirmed it's you."

"Stop it! Go to bed now. I'm going to read a book. I don't have time to play ambiguous games with a man like you. If you have the guts, come in front of Wu Wen and get out of here."

Looking at Hua Yuan's slightly angry face and after being scolded by Shuang, Luo Di felt much more at ease and went back to the coffin room to sleep and rest.

click!
The coffin closed.

Close your eyes and fall asleep.

That night Rody had a very strange dream.
He dreamed of himself in his school days, and he actually took his class monitor and Hua Yuan home for dinner. Without his family, Luo Di was in charge of cooking. It happened that the community gave away a large crucian carp for free today, so Luo Di prepared to make a braised fish. Who knew that when he was processing the fish's internal organs, he found that the body was rotten and even had various metal parts.

Not only that, the fish that should have been dead actually grew a strange structure and bit Roddy.

Finally, Hua Yuan heard the sound and came to the kitchen and crushed it to pieces with one foot.

When they looked out the window, they discovered that the city streets were crawling with all kinds of strange fish and the air was filled with a foul smell.

Roddy, who was initially bitten by the fish, also began to transform, becoming enlarged, strange, and unable to maintain himself.

It was not until he saw the bright moon in the night sky that he suddenly woke up and lit the candles between the coffins...

Huh~ Breathing heavily.

The breath that came out of my mouth smelled exactly the same as in my dream.

Luo Di did not dare to delay and immediately showed his best.

Moonlight descended into the sealed coffin, and a short and sharp blade grew out of the handle of the knife.

Swish!
Slit the throat,

A tiny fish fry is pulled out of its throat and then burned with the high temperature of hell until it is reduced to ashes.

“Fish…comic book.

Yes, when I entered the store, I took a casual glance and saw a comic called "Fish".

Did just one glance have such a strong impact, or was the comic book store owner targeting me? That person seemed to have mentioned Mr. Kraft's name, could they be the same kind of person?

Hua Yuan must be careful.

That comic book might be an opportunity, or it might be a deadly danger.

Isn't it morning yet?"

Just as Luo Di was about to confirm this, the lid of his coffin was pushed open and Wu Wen was staring at him with a smile.

"Are you awake? Where did you and Hua Yuan go last night? Given her impatience, she should be the first one to wake up today, but now there is no movement at all. Luo Di, you also have dark circles under your eyes."

Luo Di sat up and looked at the lights on and the busy supermarket. It was already the second day's business hours, but Hua Yuan's coffin was still sealed.

He briefly explained the situation at the night sale, but did not tell them about the encounter with the comic book store.

"Did Hua Yuan buy anything?"

"She bought the plant pot she wanted most and spent all her money in one go. All she needs is for you, squad leader, to buy something today."

"So lucky? What kind of plant pot?"

"……abyss."

"No wonder you slept so soundly and calmly~ Since Hua Yuan hasn't woken up yet, come with me for a walk."

"it is good."

When Luo Di stood up and followed the squad leader to leave, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the closed coffin. Last night's dream made him somewhat worried about Hua Yuan's situation.

Although Wu Wen was walking in front, she saw it very clearly, but she did not delve into it further or ask more questions.

"Squad leader, accompany me to the fourth floor first."

"Fourth floor...Oh, go ahead."

【Lisa Pet Shop】

There was a wooden sign at the door saying the business was temporarily closed, but Roddy still walked in.

The proprietress Lisa was not at the counter, and there were far fewer small animals on sale than when Rody came yesterday.

There were no lights on in the pet shop, and it became darker the deeper you went.

Luo Di pulled the squad leader step by step towards the back room.

The door was not locked.

Just push and it will open.

Click~ A sound similar to eating came from deep inside.

Rody lowered his footsteps, held his breath, and reached the deepest point in complete silence... His right hand unconsciously reached for the baseball bat he had just bought yesterday.

A humanoid crow monster covered with feathers and skinny was gnawing at Lisa's flesh.

It crushed the cat heads between its abdomen with its beak and swallowed them one by one.

Just when Rody realized that something was wrong and was about to step forward to stop it,
Lisa, who was being fed, suddenly turned her head and made a silence gesture to Roddy, telling him not to disturb the process, as the Crow's corner transformation was about to be completed.
