Deep in the Living

Chapter 480 TV, Fog, and Mysterious Man

Roddy left Mia in the bedroom, watching the iron barrel while staying beside the sleeping Wu Wen.

He rushed downstairs alone to check the situation and didn't waste too much time.

When we arrived at the scene downstairs, there weren't many people gathered there. Some students had even dispersed, and there wasn't much fear on their faces. Instead, there was a sense of calmness.

What was even more strange was that it took Rody only two minutes at most to go downstairs.
Medical personnel had already arrived at the scene. They covered the body with a white cloth and were loading it into the ambulance on a stretcher.

Roddy also quickly noticed that both the medical staff's uniforms and the side of the ambulance were printed with the Winslem University logo, as if having a hospital on campus would allow for such high efficiency.

Rody wanted to go forward and lift the white cloth to check the deceased's facial condition, but after taking two steps he stopped.

As a senior movie fan and someone who has special abilities related to movies, he is very clear about the importance of "rationality".

Since they have been assigned corresponding student identities when they entered the school, at least now they should try their best to "obey the law" and not do anything excessive, otherwise it may lead to a bad situation.

According to what Wu Wen said, the time inside the school is not synchronized with the time outside. We can find an opportunity to go to the school hospital to check on the condition of the body later, so there is no need to rush.

No stay,

Luo Di returned to the dormitory decisively.

This dormitory building has seven floors in total, with only one staircase at the entrance.

Taking advantage of the free time while walking up the stairs, he couldn't help but analyze the suicide that had just happened and the nature of the campus.

"From the state of the onlookers and the efficiency of transporting the body... this kind of 'suicide' seems to be quite common on campus, and everyone is used to it.

The subsequent investigation direction will start from "suicide", "corpse" and the "baseball club" related to me.

Wu Wen also said that the situation at the [location] will change over time, and the campus will become more and more dangerous, just like the thick fog outside.

There may be more suicides, and some dangerous situations that have not yet emerged.

We need to find the "key clues" hidden in the campus, clues about the thick fog and the remains before things get worse.

It would be even better if there were other benefits like in the suburbs.”

Rody seemed to be completely immersed in thought, forgetting to perceive the outside world, until he missed a step on the stairs in front of him and realized that he had returned to the top floor.

He did not interrupt his thoughts and continued to analyze the fog in his mind. When he felt he was almost at the dormitory door, he turned around and swiped his card.

however.

The sensor on the door didn't respond.

There wasn't even a lock on the door; it could be opened simply by swiping a card.

There was no one in the dormitory, and even the bed was bare, like an abandoned room. When Luo Di saw the scene in front of him, he was refreshed and quickly realized that he had "walked into the wrong room".

The weird thing is,
There is nothing wrong with the top floor or the location of the room.

He quickly closed the door and looked at the house number [816], while his dormitory number should be [716].

Not only that,

There was no one on this floor, and even the light bulbs were at minimum brightness, with some even flickering.

Rody should have been able to notice this abnormality long ago, but he walked here unknowingly.

"Eighth floor? This dormitory building only has seven floors... and my pituitary gland should have detected the problem in advance, and should not have waited until now to react.

Is my thinking affected?"

Rody shook his head violently, using the burning heat of hell and the gray tentacles to dispel it, and only then did he become sober.

At the same time,

He felt a strong sense of danger coming from the end of the passage.

He tilted his head to look.

At the end of the flickering light, there was an old rear-projection TV. Click~ The TV itself turned on as he stared.
The screen showed half a face.

As the person breathed, puffs of mist overflowed from the bottom of the TV.

When the thick fog spread on the floor in front of him, a pair of leather shoes appeared at the same time, corresponding to a slender leg and a thin body. He was wearing a dark suit, looking a bit gentlemanly.

The other person's height is exactly the same as the height of the passage.

The area above the neck was covered in thick fog, and the face could not be seen clearly.

tread!tread!tread!
Leather shoes step forward,

This sound is different from the oppressive feeling of a murderer.

Nor does it sound like the voice of an ordinary gentleman.

Instead, it is a sound broadcast through the TV audio, mixed with electrical noise, empty sound and silence.

Every step I take feels like it is echoing in my ears and may be stepped upon in front of me at any time.

Luo Di didn't expect to encounter such a situation as soon as he entered the campus. His sealed tongue was almost rolled up, and there was a high probability that he would die if he fought head-on.

The drama brain has already planned three escape routes.

1. Rush directly into the bedroom with the door open and jump out of the window. The eighth floor is not considered high for Rody.

2. Use physical strength to destroy the floor and achieve direct physical descent.

3. Turn around and run to the stairs at the end, and go downstairs in the most conventional horror movie routine.

However, Rody chose to turn around and run away, choosing this seemingly stupidest and most brainless escape mode.

the reason is simple.

In Luo Di's opinion, the extra floors meant there was a problem with the space. The so-called "eighth floor" might not be the eighth floor in the true sense, and even if he jumped out, he might not be able to land safely.

If you want to leave this special space that you accidentally enter, it should be similar to a corner, and you need to find the only "exit".

The stairs should be the place that most looks like an exit.

however,
No matter how fast Rody stepped down,
Every time I turned a corner, the number I saw was [8].

A classic trap. Although this was not the first time Rody had encountered it, it was definitely the most dangerous one.

He didn't have much time.
If he went down ten floors, the fog would spread and the mysterious man would appear before him. Luo Di could sense that if they met, he would not be as lucky as he was when he met death in the sewer.

Something big is going to happen.

tread!
Rody wasn't going to leave... There was no point in going down like this meaninglessly.

He stood at the corner, concentrating all his attention on his brain, even his tentacles tightly wrapped around his brain, eliminating all external interference.

To think about countermeasures,
Think about where the exit is.

Close off all external senses and ignore the mysterious man approaching.

My brain quickly sorted out and analyzed the entire incident, analyzing the source of the danger. Was it the faceless student, the suicide, or...

"I see!
Ever since I started thinking about issues related to the 'fog', my external perception began to weaken, and I unknowingly reached this level.

Because I want to understand the fog, I want to see through the fog, so I encounter the fog!
I need to stop thinking about this and reset my brain.”

Roddy remembered Mr. Hawke's teachings deeply. Extreme pain can drown out all distracting thoughts in the brain.

Without a moment's hesitation, Roddy gave himself a grandmother-level massage on the spot. As his entire tendon was pulled out, the pain beyond the limits of his body forced him to open his eyes suddenly.

The stairwell is no longer in sight.

There was no thick fog either.

No mysterious person approached.

He was standing on the edge of the rooftop of the dormitory building, only one step away from falling like the girl before him.

Luo Di also subconsciously touched his face, and all his facial features were there.

Phew~ After heaving a sigh of relief, he looked up at the university campus, and a strong sense of danger continued to hit him...
