Deep in the Living

Chapter 479 University Campus
According to newspaper reports,
While the city of Winslem was expanding, they accidentally unearthed a body buried deep underground.

There was no coffin and no burial objects.

The body was buried very deep, more than twenty meters above the ground.

The newspaper also had no way of obtaining any specific information about the remains. It seemed that the local government had blocked all information about them shortly after they were dug out.

As the remains were dug out, fog also descended.

Covering the city of Winslem and its suburbs, completely isolated from the outside world, an unknown change began to occur.

The report ends here and there is no more useful information.

Rody quickly gave a relevant guess:

"Remains? The source of the fog?

This means that if we can find the remains, perhaps we can reach the source of the fog and leave here.

In addition, behind each of our corresponding "plots", there may be some clues about the remains?

So, Wu Wen, you chose to come here and propose cooperation, wanting to go to the school with us to obtain other clues about the remains?"

Wu Wen was selecting toothpaste and responded expressionlessly:
"That's pretty much what you said... At least from what I've explored so far, cooperation can greatly increase the risk of survival.

It's very rare to find a 'good guy' like you, so I took the initiative to find you."

Mia responded with hostility: "Hey! Who said we wanted to cooperate? You threw the newspaper yourself. We didn't ask for it."

Wu Wen gave him a cold look again, "It's okay. If you don't want to, just think of it as me taking the initiative to share information."

Rody looked at the information in the newspaper, thought for a while and then pulled Mia aside to discuss in a low voice. The latter seemed a little excited after hearing something and finally nodded in agreement.

The discussion ended, and Luo Di responded:
“Let’s do it together.

Because we cannot judge your personal stance and true purpose, if we find any problems during the cooperation, even some small actions, we may terminate the cooperation at any time, or even... kill you. "

Luo Di deliberately spoke in a harsh tone, wanting to see how the other party would react.

"No problem." Wu Wen had already turned her head towards the merchandise shelf and continued to pick out items from it.

Luo Di looked at the water stains on the other person's bare feet and said, "Your ability is related to water? You can move quickly with the help of water... or even move in a water pipe? You can't be waiting for us in the store in advance, right?"

"Yes." Wu Wen nodded, "I set up sensing means around the school in advance, and came here after confirming your arrival.

Come and get these daily necessities, let’s get ready to go to school.”

Rody stepped forward and pointed at these things. "Can you explain it?"

“The [place] implanted in each of our memories is in a special independent state, which maintains a state similar to that of normal times.

Take the newspaper office I visited,

All personnel were still alive and working inside, so as soon as I walked in, I could connect normally and let my personal story proceed.

But the [location] only looks normal on the surface; the interior is full of weirdness and danger.

In addition, the [location] itself is completely independent and isolated from the urban area, and even the flow of time will be affected.

I worked and lived in the newspaper for about a week, and by the time I got what I wanted and left, only one day had passed in the city.

This school may be the same. Once we enter, the corresponding "plot" of the [videotape] will begin to serve us, and we should be able to integrate into the campus naturally."

Luo Di rubbed his chin, looking puzzled. "The speed of time will change? I thought we need to get the things and leave within one day... After all, tomorrow is the [third day] and it should be very dangerous. It should also be the most important day."

"Don't worry, if [the third day] really comes, there will be obvious signs when we go to bed at night."

"Yes, let's go."

The canteen is less than a hundred meters away from the school gate.

But all three of them could see "self-fear" lingering outside the door, even Wu Wen was still hesitant before going out.

Ten seconds later.

hum!
A strong ringing sound echoed in my brain.

It felt like the picture was being pulled apart. One second it was a city shrouded in thick fog, and the next second it turned into a campus under a clear sky. A strong smell of youth mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants permeated my nostrils.

College students of all skin colors walked around the campus, as if they had really arrived at a modern university campus.

It’s just that Rody and the others looked a little “discordant”.

Although he had packed the bloody bat and axe into the suitcase in advance, and his age seemed to match the university, the iron bucket in Roddy's hand could not be explained at all. Just as he was thinking about how to integrate into the so-called campus.

Wu Wen had already walked in front. Her wet clothes had dried, only her hair was still a little wet, but she was still not wearing shoes.

Looking at the other person's back and the hands behind his back, Luo Di actually wanted to hold their hands. Although he quickly suppressed the impulse, it still felt strange.

Especially in the current campus environment, it seems like there have been similar memories before.

At this time,

A student union member who was in charge of welcoming new students took the initiative to step forward and find Wu Wen, who was walking in front.

After a brief exchange, Wu Wen received four file bags containing their student ID cards, campus cards, student handbooks and other new student materials.

"It's just as I thought. Although you, Rody, are the only one whose memories are related to this university, as long as we come in together, the plot will serve all of us at the same time.

This is convenient now, as we were directly assigned student status.

In that case, let's go to the dormitory and stay there first, what do you think, Luo Di?"

"Row."

After Wu Wen distributed the materials to everyone, she walked in front again.

Mia also temporarily put aside her prejudice. It seemed that this was her first time coming to such a university campus as a student. She seemed a little excited and looked around.

Of course, they are also observing quietly while looking around, and once they find anything suspicious, they will put it on the hunting list.

Luo Di took out the campus map from the file bag and quickly determined the dormitory where he would live and the location of the gymnasium where he would go as a baseball player.

"This university is much bigger than No. 4 Middle School... Wait, No. 4 Middle School! How did I graduate? Why is even this memory becoming blurry? Could it be that someone among the participants is also related to No. 4 Middle School?"

Luo Di felt that this memory was very important. He tried to force himself to recall it but was suppressed by an invisible brain fog. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Finally he compromised and looked up at the university campus.

Just as Wu Wen said, the whole school seemed to be isolated from the world. Not only was it not affected by the thick fog outside, but it was also operating normally internally. All the teachers and students within sight were normal.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the dormitory building where they were assigned.

There is no distinction between men and women due to the plot setting.

They happened to be staying in a four-person dormitory on the top floor, and the dormitory managers and students they met along the way all greeted them very friendly.

After experiencing the whole process, Luo Di really felt like a freshman entering the school... Deep in his heart, he even felt a sense of calm and acceptance. For a moment, he really wanted to live like this.

The dormitory is furnished with four beds with desks.

Considering that Mia was a little neurotic and hostile to Wu Wen, Luo Di and Mia slept in the two beds on the left, and Wu Wen and the sleeping girl slept on the right.

"Doesn't she need to take it out?"

Wu Wen pointed at the girl curled up in the barrel.

"No need, she stays in here like this all the time, and it's convenient for traveling."

"Alright~" Wu Wen climbed onto her bed and stretched herself, "You can relax a little. According to my experience at the newspaper, the first day will be relatively normal, and problems will slowly appear as time goes by, just like the gradually thickening fog outside.

Another reason why I chose to team up with you this time is that I wanted to get some extra rest time.

I barely slept in the last few days at the newspaper office, so I'll take a nap first, you guys can do whatever you want."

Wu Wen didn't care about the two murderers beside her or the strange campus she was in. She lay on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.

Luo Di walked to the window as usual and pulled the curtains.

Don't know,
As he reached out to open the window outside,

Buzz! A human face appeared upside down in front of Luo Di.
I don’t know if Luo Di saw it wrongly, but the other person’s face seemed to have no facial features…

Snapped!
There was a sound of flesh breaking, and I looked out.

A young and beautiful female college student fell to her death downstairs, with blood oozing out and her face facing downwards, and her specific facial features could not be identified.

A large number of teachers and students soon gathered around, and various discussions could be heard.

Wu Wen still chose to sleep and had no intention of opening her eyes. It seemed that this kind of thing was normal to her.
