Deep in the Living

Chapter 467 Panic spreads
Winslem City.

It rains continuously.

Although there was a lot of water on the road, a hotel here was still leaking water, and even various shells would occasionally wash onto the street.

Neon lights in cool blue tones are scattered throughout the hotel.

Female reporter Wu Wen was holding a strangely shaped, slightly curved octopus tentacle key in her mouth with her arms drooping, and quickly inserting it into the damp wooden door that had no house number on it.

click!
When I used my body to push the wooden door open, water curtain leaked out.

The whole room was filled with water, and all kinds of aquatic plants were growing out of the cracks in the floor.

Wu Wen quickly hid inside and quickly closed the door with her heel, as if she was avoiding being chased by some kind of existence.

boom!
The door behind him was quickly hit, but it did not break. After staying for a moment, he slowly left.

Wu Wen was finally able to catch her breath. She leaned against the damp wall with her arms hanging in front of her, with black water constantly flowing down her arms.

With her control over her body, super-fast regeneration could be accomplished easily, but the injuries before her were very different.

She controlled her body, reluctantly grew a third hand, and tore off her sleeves.

The surface of the arm appeared to be "beach-like" and was covered with small holes of different shapes. It seemed that there were some living things deep in these holes.

The third hand constructed by Wu Wen has extremely long and thin nails, which can penetrate deep into the body like tweezers.

Various small fish and shrimps, sea anemones, octopus tentacles, clams, etc. were pulled out one by one by the roots, and you could even faintly hear the friction sound as the roots were pulled out of the flesh.

There was also seawater overflow during the removal process.

Wu Wen also tried to cut off her entire arm and then grow another one.

However, the newly grown arms were in the same condition, and she had determined through deep flesh examinations that these rooted marine organisms must be completely removed in order to be eradicated.

This process is extremely long, and every time a living thing is pulled out it brings an indescribable feeling to the body and even the soul.

Even Wu Wen was sweating profusely during this process, her lips turned pale, and she even gradually developed a phobia of the ocean and the deep sea.

Ah~ When the last one was pulled out, she couldn't help but let out a scream.

Feeling the sandiness of her arms gradually disappear, Wu Wen refocused on the mysterious room in front of her and found what she wanted in the bathroom.

The bathtub is filled with sea water.

A dead fish floats on the water.
The eyes were huge, even like human eyes.

The scales on its surface are extremely smooth, and each one looks like a work of art.

Wu Wen knew exactly what she was looking for. Without any hesitation, she picked up the dead fish and started to eat it, eating up all the rotten internal organs.

After eating,
vomit!
She started vomiting crazily.
Various black water, fish bones and human-like internal organs were vomited out.

But when she looked up again, all the filth was gone, and even the bathtub was as clean as new.

"As expected...if you want to survive, you must follow the guidance of your true fear."

Wu Wen supported her relatively weak body and walked to the sink.

I caught a glimpse of a shiny spot at the bottom of my cheek through the mirror. Upon closer inspection, I saw that a crystal clear fish scale had grown out.

Not only did she not feel the slightest bit repulsed by this strange structure, but she even revealed a weird smile and even laughed out loud.

“This unknown corner event is really great;
I was able to come into contact with this level of true fear. I hope that everything that happened here can be taken away as a reward. Even if I can only take part of it away, it will be enough."

Wu Wen was no longer as panicked as before and left the room with a swagger.

A dark flesh mass shaped like an octopus was squeezed in the passage, with tentacles spreading outwards more than ten meters long, and the surface of its body was covered with various eyeballs and mouthparts.

It was the "pursuer" from before.

This time it did not hunt, but stared at the female reporter who approached it actively as if it was staring at its own kind, and allowed her to pass through its body.

call!
Finally I left this hotel that smelled like the deep sea and let the raindrops fall on my body.

Wu Wen lit a cigarette she had brought from the guest room, blew smoke rings in the rain, and took out a worn city map to determine the next location for action.

She did not stay long, for being outdoors was equally affected by fear.

From the corner of her eye she could always catch a glimpse of a tall man standing at the end of the street, with the same mask as her father's on his face.

As the time spent outside increases, the men will get closer.

At this time,

Wu Wen suddenly noticed something, raised her right hand, and a flesh-and-blood sword was peeled out from her palm. She held it firmly and slashed behind her.

Snapped!
Balloon explodes.

Behind the balloon stood a clown with his hands raised in surrender.

Wu Wen was a little surprised. She had locked onto the opponent's physical information and swung the sword perfectly. Even if she failed to behead him, she would at least cut his neck.

In reality, it was just cutting open a balloon.

Turn around, take a small jump, and create some distance.

Wu Wen carefully looked at this trainee clown who had not found a job yet. He seemed a little different from the one he had on the train before.

"Hello! Reporter Wu... What a coincidence. I just passed by and saw you smoking here, so I came over. I mean no harm. I just came to give you an umbrella."

Jock blew out a balloon umbrella and handed it over with a smile.

Wu Wen took a step back and said, "I like rain. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Jock looked frustrated and threw the umbrella into the trash can. "Oh, no wonder it's so hard for me to find a job. You see, I tried to find Mr. Roddy, who looked reliable, to work with me on the train, but was rejected.

Now I met Miss Wu and was rejected again. It seems that I am really not suitable to apply for a clown position. I guess everyone will leave as soon as I come on stage. "

Wu Wen didn't listen to his nonsense at all and left quickly.

Qiao Ke took the initiative to follow, with a flattering look on his face, "Reporter Wu, this kind of pure original fear, or real fear, is really difficult for a person to deal with. I believe that your experience inside the hotel just now should not be easy.

Do you want to try to cooperate?
It's just a simple, temporary cooperation. I promise I won't touch you, it's just a strategic cooperation.

Information sharing, fifty-fifty split. "

"You are too dangerous..."

A whisper penetrated Jock's eardrums, even causing a slight itch in his ear canals. When Jock scratched his ears with his fingers, the reporter in front of him had disappeared.

"Really? Why are you all so alert? Can't you just stay where you are and let me chop off your heads? It's so difficult."

……

[Suburbs-Shiyin Town]

There is a hidden compartment inside the house.

A vertical wooden ladder leads directly underground.

There wasn't even the slightest smell of blood down there; not only that, even the smell of blood in the house couldn't penetrate.

"I'll go down first to check the situation. Rody, will you follow me?"

Although Mia is a little neurotic, she seems to be very reliable. She is always at the forefront whether it is killing or exploring.

She slid down holding a kerosene lamp she found in the house.

Rody immediately carried the girl on his back and followed them downstairs.

"Is this... a sewer?"

It was completely different from the village, there was no bright red, only filth.

There was no fog spreading below, and with the light of the fire one could even see what was happening a hundred meters away. The entire sewer system was very complete.

“Ordinary villages don’t have sewers of this scale. It should be that the sewers of Winslem City have spread here.

If that's the case, once we collect enough bloodstones and exchange them for what we want, we can go directly from the sewers to the city and avoid the fear of the outdoors."

When Rody gave his analysis, Mia became different. She looked serious and stared at one end of the sewer.

Rody looked in the direction of her sight and saw nothing.

"what happened?"

"It's very dangerous here, let's leave quickly... It's hard to explain to you, but it's very dangerous anyway."

Mia unexpectedly became less nervous at this moment. She climbed up the stairs quickly with a serious face, wanting to leave here quickly.

Luo Di naturally followed, but as he was crawling... Buzz! The tongue in his mouth trembled slightly.

He suddenly turned his head and looked again to the limit of his vision.

Above the dirty, dark water, there seemed to be an eye staring at Rody.

"what?"

Some unknown and intense danger urged Rody to quickly crawl back to the cabin.

however,
Just as he climbed out of the stairs and closed the secret compartment, a strong smell of blood permeated his nose, and his attention was drawn back to the village, and he clenched the bat in his hand.

Mia, on the other hand, had an excited expression on her face and looked around quickly.

The wooden house had been exposed, and was surrounded by villagers with bloody holes all over their faces. Inside and outside the house, on the ceiling, and even the windows were filled with bleeding faces.

It seemed that the opening of the secret door had exposed Rody and his men, or the smell of the overflowing sewer had made the villagers aware of something unusual here.

But Mia didn't care.
In her opinion, this would save a lot of time, allowing her to collect enough bloodstones faster and get to the city earlier to kill more interesting things.

"Rodi, let's enjoy it."

Just when Mia was about to show her true strength and Rody was about to put on his mask,
A mutation occurs.

All the blood that had protruded from the villagers' faces was retracted into their bodies, and bloody cracks appeared on their bodies.

boom!
One by one they exploded on the spot.

This kind of physical explosion did not have much power, it just exploded into a ball of strange blood mist.

As the number of people who committed self-destruction increased, blood mist soon filled the wooden house.

Rody held his breath at the first moment and used the gray color in his body to block it.

But the blood mist was too thick. It penetrated through the gaps, seeped into the pores, and entered Roddy's body circulation.

Both he and Mia started bleeding from all seven orifices within a short period of time, fainted and fell to the ground, and their consciousness became blurred.

I vaguely felt someone dragging my legs and feet.

It took me to a very far, very deep, and very smelly place.

It was as if something sharp had pierced through his calf and hung him up.

It seems that I can hear the sound of chopping meat.
It sounded like someone was screaming.
