Deep in the Living

Chapter 478 Water

The manhole cover in the middle of the road was opened.

A pair of eyes poked out slightly and quickly locked onto a newsstand on the curb.

He burst out in an instant and rushed to the newsstand, and after finding what he wanted, he retreated to the sewer. The whole process took less than ten seconds.

call……

Rody took a breath and was almost caught by his "family" in the fog.

A map of the city of Winslem unfolded in his hands, with detailed information about the city marked on it, including the school that Rody was going to as a baseball player, and the film company that Mia was going to work for as a dream-chasing girl.

"Split up, Mia?"

"No~ Even if we separate, you will take the bucket with you, right? Since you will take her with you, I will follow you. Let's go to your school together and complete the corresponding 'plot'. Then you can accompany me to the company, isn't that good?
And this is essentially in line with the plot development.

I am a girl from the countryside. I met you, a prospective college student, on the train. We fell in love with each other, and we got together and went to the city to fulfill our dreams.

It sounds like a happy story.”

Mia held her face in her hands, seeming to be caught up in the corresponding plot.

"Then what about the iron bucket in my hand that is included in the plot?" Rody's words pulled her back from the beautiful story, and she could only make a face to protest.

"If you want to split up, then split up. I don't care."

"Let's go to the school together first. If the 'plot' only allows me to go in, you can go through the sewers to the film company."

Mia pouted and put her hands on her hips. "Why don't you go to my company first? I don't want to walk in the sewer alone. It's dark and scary here."

"what?"

Rody tilted his head to look at the blonde girl with braids. If this was really the human world, and everyone was a minor, it might be somewhat credible.

“The school is only a ten-minute walk from where we are now, and the film company is at least half an hour away. I am only considering the time issue.

Judging from what the Joker said, time should be quite tight."

"Oh~ okay then."

At the manhole cover not far from the gate of Winslem University,
Buzz buzz~ Several flies flew out from inside and confirmed the location of the school gate. In addition, there were many shops on both sides of the school gate.

*It should be noted that it is not possible to directly reach the campus through the sewers. Rody spent half an hour trying to find it but couldn't find any.

Bang!

The manhole cover bounces high!

Two figures quickly ran towards the school gate, but did not enter directly. Instead, they broke into a small shop next to it and quickly closed the door.

Tick ​​tick tick~
Blood continued to drip from Mia's cheek.

I was only exposed in the thick fog for less than half a minute, and I had calculated the route in advance and made preparations. However, I still encountered "self-fear" and a brief conflict along the way.

Mia's cheek was cut by her aging self, leaving a creepy opening, and one could even see her brain inside.

Although she managed to quickly counterattack, as long as the thick fog existed, the old woman would soon form again.

Rody cut off his sister's head and his mother's arm.
Although I know it is fake, it is just the reflection of my inner fear by the thick fog.
But his palms were still trembling slightly, and his peripheral vision would unconsciously glance at the few strands of hair between his palms. Whether it was the sound, shape, touch or even the smell, it was exactly the same as in his memory, no different from "family".

“I feel like [the fog] is different from other threats.

Whether it's the blood, the sewers, or the night we encounter, these threats are fixed or even just a temporary guest appearance here.

Only the thick fog is always there and is constantly changing.

Mia, what do you think?

However, Roddy's question received no response, as he thought Mia was still immersed in self-fear or unable to speak due to severe facial injuries.

When I looked over, I found that Mia was staring seriously into the depths of the store.

There is a door there, behind which may be the store's replenishment warehouse.

Obviously, Mia sensed something, something was inside.

Roddy also quickly got into the state, gripped the bat tightly, and slowly entered the movie state.

The two men approached step by step with a similar hunting posture.

When the distance is less than three meters. Swish!
Suddenly, there was a sound coming from inside the door, like the sound of a faucet being turned on to the maximum, and soon water was overflowing even from under the door.

It's not a warehouse, but a bathroom.

Luo Di also found that there were small pieces of shiny objects floating on the surface of the water stains. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be fish scales.

click!
Before the two of them could step forward, the door opened automatically from the inside.

A wet, white, perfectly curved leg stepped out first.

A familiar woman came out.

The weird thing is,
The shorts and T-shirt she was wearing were soaked, and her hair was dripping with water, as if she had taken a bath with her clothes on.

His eyes beneath the black hair examined the two people in front of him, as well as the girl in the bucket.

The other party was the first reporter to raise suspicion on the train and was also the first to leave. Luo Di also remembered the other party's name - [Wu Wen].

Roddy's first impression of this man was that he was a good person, and he didn't even swing the bat in his hand.

But Mia is different.

She had just been slashed in the face by her older self and was in a rather irritable state when this woman suddenly appeared in front of her in such a strange way.

Whether it was her murderous nature or her female sixth sense, it urged her to kill.

hum!
The axe blade fell.

however……

The opponent was like a fish swimming in the water. He clearly felt that he was hit, but at the moment of impact, he dodged it perfectly in a fast and smooth manner.

Not only did he avoid it, he also took the initiative to step forward.

Before Mia can make the next move... Snap!

Pinch each other's cheeks with both hands and observe closely.

Then he pinched Rody's cheek in the same way, at an extremely fast speed, and it would be difficult to dodge even if he reacted.

The action of pinching the face to observe was over soon.
When the second axe chop comes... buzz!

Wu Wen had already moved away from the two of them and started to select the corresponding products in the store. Luo Di also noticed that the reason why she could move so quickly seemed to be related to the water spreading on the ground.

Whether it was the escape just now or the current position, the reporter was walking barefoot on the water, and there were a few fish scales growing on her ankles.

At this time,

Reporters who were selecting products began to comment:
“You two are not being controlled, but are cooperating in a normal manner.

I didn't expect that in such an incident there would be a "good man" like you, Rody, who actually kept the "sleeping girl" by his side.

I guess you guys should have been in town not long ago? Next, I plan to go to the 'location' arranged in my memory.

Can you add me? I'll share some of the intelligence I've collected so far."

"Why should I add you?"

Mia tilted her head. A large number of rotten creatures seeped out from the cracks in her head, polluting the water source on the ground. She was very unhappy about the continuous failures and seemed to be planning to take real action.

Wu Wen said calmly:

“I’ve been looking for someone to work with, but the others are either unstable or too dangerous, and you’re the only ones who can make it.

It is too risky to act alone, especially [tomorrow], so it is necessary to form a team in advance.

As compensation for joining you midway, let me express my stance first."

Wu Wen gently cut open the skin on her wrist with her fingernails and took out a newspaper from inside, a newspaper published by a local newspaper.

She had obviously been to the places where she was assigned as a reporter and obtained important things, one of which was the newspaper.

The information recorded on it made Rody's eyes widen, and he reached out to stop Mia.

"A mysterious fog surrounds Winslem, and a large number of people have disappeared mysteriously. Is the cloud of fear related to "the remains"? "
