Deep in the Living

Chapter 481 Familiarity
As soon as Rody pushed open the door to the rooftop, he bumped into a blonde girl.

"Mia, didn't I tell you to stay in the dormitory?"

But the latter looked unhappy and poked Luo Di's forehead with his index finger, "You asked about me first? You said you would be back soon, but I didn't see you after waiting for ten minutes.

I came to you because I was worried. What’s so fun about this?”

Mia quickly stuck her head out and looked around the rooftop, but did not find the female college student she expected.

At the same time, she also smelled a hint of decay on Rody, as if he had been to an ancient and dilapidated area.

Rody explained briefly:
"I encountered some trouble, but I also got some important information.

Try not to think about information related to the "fog" while on campus. It is easy to fall into a "brain fog" state and lose your perception of reality.

This is especially true when you are alone.”

"I knew you would run into trouble by yourself~ As long as you're not dead, let's go back, la la la~"

Mia seemed very happy since entering the campus, and even had less hostility towards the new member Wu Wen. She seemed to yearn for such a youthful life deep in her heart, the kind of life that she should experience at her age.

The bedroom door opens.

Wu Wen was still wrapped in quilt, sleeping on her side, and her wet hair had basically dried.

The iron bucket was placed in the corner and everything was normal. It seemed that the only one with the problem was Rody.

[Four hours passed]

hmm~
A light sound came from Wu Wen's throat. She slowly sat up and stretched, finally making up for the sleepiness she had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, her body sensed something and she turned her head abruptly.

Luo Di, who was supposed to sleep on the bed opposite her, was actually on the bed behind her, half-kneeling with his face almost touching hers.

This sudden close contact made Wu Wen subconsciously step back and cover her body with the quilt, even though she was sleeping with her clothes on.

"what you do!?"

Rody pointed in the direction of the bathroom, and the sound of flushing could be heard from inside.

"Mia is taking a shower now. We will go to the cafeteria to eat something and walk around the campus. In the evening, when all the staff are off work, we will go to the school hospital.

Now that we are alone, I have a question for you."

"what?"

Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Wu Wen slowly loosened the quilt in front of her, straightened her body and was no longer in a passive state.

Luo Di used the words he had prepared long ago to quickly summarize the strange experiences during this period, including:
Suicide, faceless, TV, fog, etc.

Wu Wen's expression didn't change much. "Oh, is that so? As long as I can survive, that's fine."

Suddenly, Luo Di, who was half-squatting on the adjacent bed, leaned forward and almost invaded Wu Wen's side, with a gloomy face and even murderous intent.

“I’m not describing what happened.

I mean, you seemed to have said that there was no danger during the period when we first entered the campus, and you seemed to have encountered similar situations at the [newspaper office].

Why didn't you tell us in advance? What are you keeping? Since we are working together, why don't you be honest? "

Rody's words were mixed with gray, as if there were several tentacles caressing the other person's brain.

Wu Wen was not panicked at all. She also leaned forward. Even though her face was about to touch Luo Di's, she did not lose out in words:

“Is there something wrong with your ears?
I never said the words 'no danger', what I said is that it will be relatively normal when you first enter [location], and the danger will gradually increase as time goes by.

Besides, if you need me to tell you every detail and remind you of various things in order to avoid risks, and if you cannot realize the danger on your own or cannot survive, then there is no point in our cooperation. "

Their faces were almost touching.
Luo Di knew that the other party had not said the words "no danger", he was just a little unhappy with the behavior of concealing and not fully sharing information.

Eye to eye,

They can even feel each other's breath.

suddenly,

Wu Wen sighed slightly, freed from her strong state, leaned back and supported herself with her hands behind her, "I have no similar experience in the newspaper office.

There were no suicides, no televisions. The main danger was the 'human images' in the various newspapers. For example, when I passed by the printers late at night, they would automatically work, emit mist and print out very dangerous newspapers.

Just like what happened to you with the TV,
The characters in the newspaper will also come to reality under the influence of fog.

However, there was no "thinking fog" that would limit my thinking. Moreover, I encountered no danger on my first day at the newspaper office."

Seeing Wu Wen's explanation, Luo Di took the initiative to back off and realized something.

"Alone... you entered the newspaper office alone. Now, the four of us are entering the university together.

As the number of people increases, the difficulty also increases accordingly.

That's why I was in danger on the first day, and it makes sense that just thinking about the Mist would affect me."

"Ah."

Wu Wen looked at the man in front of her. She thought he was a simple-minded murderer, after all, he had been guarding the girl in the iron barrel from the beginning.

Now it seems that the other party is smarter and more interesting than she expected.

The moment she got up just now, she even felt like she was going to be killed... Moreover, the close face-to-face contact gave her a somewhat strange feeling, and her body did not feel any rejection towards the young man at all.

"Hey! Among the eight people in the car, only me, you and the girl in the iron barrel are of the yellow race, and our ages are about the same.

Do you think we will know each other in real life?"

Luo Di shook his head. "I don't know. The relevant memories have been erased."

Wu Wen suddenly stepped forward again, sniffed the scent on his body with the tip of her nose, and reached out to touch his cheek.

“Except for the novelist named Libet, I have met all the other participants once. You are the only one who makes me feel different, and that is another reason why I am willing to take the initiative to cooperate.

Probably has something to do with your 'human' identity.

However, you must have a very close relationship with the girl in the barrel to take the risk of bringing her with you. In reality, we are just ordinary partners at best. "

"Do you have 'No. 4 Middle School' in your memory?" Luo Di suddenly asked this question, wanting to verify this memory with the reporter in front of him.

"No. 4 Middle School... yes! I studied there when I was still a human, but I don't remember the details clearly. I think I was the class monitor during my time there."

"Monitor?"

hum!
Rody suddenly had a severe tinnitus in his ears, and even his nose started bleeding. The thick fog in his brain seemed to get heavier, forcibly burying the related memories.

If I continue to recall, my entire brain will probably explode.

At that moment just now, Rody seemed to have almost broken "a certain rule" of this incident.

Wu Wen quickly took some paper to help him wipe it off, and the two of them looked at each other closely, feeling strange and unfamiliar.

at this time,

The bathroom door suddenly opened.

Mia came out wrapped in a bath towel, her hands still playing with her wet blonde hair, and was surprised to find that Rody was doing push-ups on the ground.

She looked at the female reporter who had woken up and was sitting on the bed, and she always felt that something was strange.

It seemed that this was not the scene a second ago, and she seemed to have missed something.

Just when Mia was confused, she smelled a subtle sense of danger, not from the fog, but from the iron barrel.

I don't know when,

The girl in the iron barrel seemed to move. Her palm, which was originally hugging her knees, moved upwards, with her middle finger slightly raised.

[At night, Winslem University-School Hospital]

The street lamps scattered throughout the campus decrease in number and density as you get closer to the school hospital, and there are almost no mosquitoes surrounding the lampshades.

The building covered with cold white tiles stands lonely in the corner of the campus.

Four freshmen who had just entered the school approached stealthily from a position that was not illuminated by street lights...
