Deep in the Living

Chapter 463 Carriage, thick fog, strangers

Tick ​​tick tick~
Just a moment of stagnation of thought,

Blood was already dripping from Rody's body.

The pain forced him to come back to his senses and look at his body.
Tongues shot out from the mouths of the three heads and pierced through his body. One of the tongues even ruptured his stomach, causing gastrointestinal bleeding.

puff!
Rody suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Gajigaji~
The tongues that penetrated his body continued to move, pulling him closer, as if wanting to merge him in as well, thus reuniting the whole family.

Looking at the happy expressions on the rotten heads of my family members.

Rody's skin felt as if it were being electrocuted, and a feeling of fear swept over his body.

But his tongue also tasted something,
A bitter taste.

The smell suppressed the fear in my body.

His eyes gloomy, as if he had given up resistance, and he was slowly pulled in front of the headless corpse, allowing the tongue to slowly wrap around his body until it was near his neck.

"Welcome home, Rody."

In the next second, Rody’s neck would be strangled and his head would be separated from his body.

Swish!
Blood splatters,

The metal baseball bat that was stuck in the top of the headless corpse was pulled out.

Coincidentally, a ray of moonlight came in and illuminated the scene.

Knock...bang!

Various pieces of meat splashed everywhere.
The headless corpse was completely destroyed by a stick, and the flesh was completely shattered. This strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Feeling the moonlight shining,

Feeling this power,

And the murderous aura emanating from the bats,

Rody recalled a memory.

I recalled experiences like Pituitary, Black Gate, Moon, Corner, etc.

I can also feel the existence of these things.

【Corner System】Activate and restore.

However, his identity is still that of a "baseball player", and this underlying setting seems to be deeply ingrained in his soul and cannot be eradicated.

Even if the system capabilities and memories related to corners are regained, they are still completed around this underlying setting.

The purpose of his train journey was still to go to Winslem to participate in the preliminary recruitment of the local university.

Just as he felt the power of the corner filling his body, a voice came from below:

"Roddy, since you don't want to come back to our home, then mom, dad and sister will go to your new home. I hope you don't mind.

If you want to eat anything, you can tell mom in advance and I will make it for you."

Rody suddenly looked down at the ground.

The head that was clearly smashed was still able to crawl on its own, flowing into his trouser legs like rotten meat and penetrating his body.

He unzipped his baseball shirt and opened it.

The heads of his parents and sister had already appeared, staring at him with a smile.

……

Boom boom boom
The soothing sound of the neat and regular railroad tracks rang in my ears.

Rody is gradually waking up.

He was leaning back in the leather train seat.

But this time it was not night outside the window, but daytime, and lush green plants were constantly flashing by.

He was not the only one in the carriage. There were seven strangers sitting there scattered around. The rest of the passengers seemed to have gotten off at the previous station.

"Dream?"

Looking at the sweaty hands brought by the nightmare,
The first thing Rody did was to get up, take off his luggage bag, and check whether the most important baseball bat was there.

When he opened the zipper and saw the metallic color shining inside, he felt relieved.

Just as he was about to find something to kill time, he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of red, forcing him to suddenly pull out the baseball bat.

"This is!"

The metal bat that was maintained every day was stained with blood, and it had not yet solidified.

"What happened last night wasn't a dream?"

Realizing this, Rody suddenly lifted up his clothes and looked at his abdomen. Fortunately, there was no head on it, only six faintly visible abdominal muscles.

Huh... After breathing a sigh of relief, Rody quickly took out a tissue and wiped off the blood stains on the baseball bat.

“It’s so strange, I’m supposed to be in the corner right now, and I’m doing something very important.

Why would I go to a city to participate in the university preliminaries? My current ability is fully capable of becoming an agent.

Could it be that I was involved in some special incident while exploring the corner?

Once this event begins, it will disrupt part of my memory until the event is over?
Are all these people on the train also individuals involved in the incident?"

Rody once again checked his lunar pituitary, the dungeon, the victims and the plants to confirm that he was in the "germination stage".

Then he turned his attention to the other people in the carriage.

Four people have woken up so far:

1. A quiet and graceful girl sat upright, slightly tilting her head to look at the scenery outside the window. She had the same black hair as him, but her skin was whiter and more delicate, especially the pair of white long legs under her skirt.

2. An old man with rosacea is blowing a balloon. There is still some white makeup on his face that has not been washed off. He is most likely working in a circus. He is currently blowing up a long balloon and making it into a puppy, which looks harmless.

3. A young man squatted on a train seat, holding a book in front of him, his face almost buried in the book, as if he was completely attracted by the story inside.

4. A normal middle-aged man who tastes bacon slices seriously can chew each piece of bacon in his mouth for a long time, and will even suck off the oil stains on his fingers, completely immersed in eating.

While Roddy was observing, another person woke up.

She is a girl with light blonde hair and freckles on her face.

He also hurriedly observed the man's behavior carefully.
If it was an "agent" like him who encountered the same thing, he would probably rush to check his body or search for something after waking up.

really,

After waking up, the girl quickly looked at her hands, paused for a moment, and then took down her suitcase. After confirming everything, she took out her makeup bag and began to touch up her makeup.

However, the opened makeup mirror was not pointed at herself, but at Luo Di who was sitting next to her.

The girl immediately smiled, raised her right hand and greeted him proactively, as she had already noticed his peeping.

Rody just smiled awkwardly and looked away.

Now there are only two people who haven't woken up yet.
There was a man sitting in the front row. He was huge and looked like an ordinary man. His entire head was covered by a hood and he was snoring loudly.

The other person was sitting in the same row as Luo Di.

The girl sleeping with her head against the window has black hair, an oriental face, and is dressed in a classic school uniform.

With just a glance, I was attracted by the other person's extremely delicate face and couldn't look away.

The strange thing is, we are obviously strangers and this is the first time we meet.

Rody had a vague feeling that this girl was very important, but he did not take the initiative to approach her. He just observed her quietly.

soon.

The big guy sitting in the front row woke up, and only the young girl was still sleeping.

At this time,

The train suddenly entered a cave. After a brief period of darkness, everyone looked out the window.

The previously sunny exterior is now covered in thick fog.

The tunnel crossing time was less than five seconds, which is impossible according to common sense.

Simultaneously,

The moving train gradually slowed down and stopped before reaching the station.

The strong man who just woke up was the first to get up and prepare to go to the front of the car to check the situation.

But just as he opened the door connecting the carriage to the passage, the scene before him stunned everyone, and some people stood up.

Outside the door was not the next carriage, but the outdoors.

Although the fog was very thick, I could still see the railroad tracks, gravel and some of the surrounding greenery outside.

It was as if the carriage they were in had been separated from the main body and left here alone.

Just then,
The blonde girl who had made eye contact with Rody before took the initiative to approach.

"Hello~ First time meeting you. Do you want to get off the car together and check out the situation? You look quite reliable."

Looking at the other person's innocent and lovely smile, Rody, who wanted to agree, was once again attracted by the black-haired girl sleeping by the window.

"You go down with them and check the situation first. I'll just stay in the car."

"Oh……"

Something flashed quickly between the blonde girl's pupils, and then quickly returned to normal. After making a temporary goodbye gesture, she followed the other passengers to get off the bus to check the situation.

Rody stayed in his seat for the time being, holding a baseball bat.

Stay by the sleeping girl's side to prevent her from encountering unknown dangers.
