Deep in the Living

Chapter 483: Faceless Corpse

"It's a bit narrow in here, can you squeeze in?"

Wu Wen had already crawled into the ventilation duct, and tiny sounds fell out along with the water drops between her toes.

"should be no problem."

As the hell system recovered, Rody's control over his body reached a peak. Under the activity of the old spine, the bones of his entire body contracted, and his muscles also compressed and shrank.

His body was just big enough to fit into the pipe and crawl normally.

Even if the pipe was twice as small, Rody felt he could still move. He could even cut off his limbs and just move around using the gray tentacles that grew out of his flesh.

But the scene seemed to have gone beyond the scope of human beings.

There is a problem here because of the order in which they enter the pipeline.

Rody couldn't look forward.
Whenever he raised his head, the only thing he could see was Wu Wen's wet long legs and shorts. If he kept staring for a long time, he could even vaguely see some details inside the wet shorts.

Do not look at anything indecent.

Rody hardly looked up the whole time, just crawling along without any unnecessary words.

Wu Wen, who was crawling in front, could naturally feel the situation behind her. She knew very well that the other party had turned away and did not even take a closer look.

This made Wu Wen very curious.

She couldn't quite understand why there was such a person of the opposite sex in such a corner, and she became more interested in Rody.

[Half an hour later]

Gently unscrew the ventilation duct cover from the inside.

Two figures fell silently.

"Is it true that we can't go directly to the morgue? By the way, it's so cold here..."

The place they came to was not the morgue, but the same men's restroom. However, the temperature here was much lower, at minus 30 degrees Celsius.

Luo Di looked at the cold air coming out of his mouth and always felt that it was somewhat similar to thick fog. Perhaps he had a psychological shadow, so he quickly lowered his breathing frequency and tried to reduce the amount of exhaled gas as much as possible.

The back continuously provided heat to the body. Even though Rody's body temperature was normal, he could still feel the extreme cold, a chill that came from a corpse.

"Go out and see."

Judging from the distance we crawled, this men's restroom should be very deep underground and not far from our destination.

As the two walked past the sink together, they saw something out of the corner of their eyes.

There seemed to be an extra person, or a corpse, between the mirrors, floating behind them.

Stop and tilt your head.

When they looked directly into the mirror, there was nothing inside, only their own gaze and the cold air constantly coming out of their mouths.

suddenly,

Roddy felt a touch, a warm touch coming from the palm of his hand.

Wu Wen, who had always appeared very strong and independent and had taken the lead as soon as she joined the team, now took the initiative to lead the team.

This feeling is completely different from Mia's.
Softer, moister, and vaguely familiar...as if I had experienced this before.

At the same time, Wu Wen also put her lips to his ear.

"Something is wrong here, keep the physical contact.

Extreme cold causes us to exhale cold air constantly, and whether or not this cold air is classified as 'fog', our brains will subconsciously think about it.

What I just glimpsed might be the reason for this.

In order to prevent us from being affected by the mind level, it should be better to maintain contact, at least to ensure that we are not torn apart."

"Ok."

Exit the men's restroom.

The passage outside was just as cold,
No hospital staff were seen yet.

The end of this underground passage was not far away. The iron gate was closed, a red light was on, and a piece of paper with red writing was pasted on it.

Dangerous corpse parking area

≮Please note that all carriers transporting dangerous corpses will have only two minutes to park the body once the electronic door is opened.

If the time is up and the body carrier has not come out, the electronic door will automatically lock and close. Each body carrier can enter at most once a day.

In addition, during the period of mortuary rest,
Hear any sound,
See any picture,
Feel any touch,

Don't respond.
Leave now! ≯
If Rody was still a high school student back then, he might still be scared. So the red warning in front of him was actually a good thing in his opinion.

1. This means there are no hospital guards inside, so you don’t need to continue pretending.

2. This unnatural weirdness shows that they have found the right place. The corpse inside may be able to find important clues related to the fog and remains.

Rody had no intention of stopping and was ready to go in directly, but he felt a pulling sensation on his palm.

"what happened?"

"Do you need to consider the two-minute time limit? Once the door is closed, it may be difficult to open it again."

"It depends on the situation. We should act as soon as possible. If we can find what we want, we will leave immediately. If we can't find it, we will keep looking. We only have one chance a day."

"Row."

Rody stepped forward and opened the door using his corpse carrier's badge to identify himself.

click!
A two-minute countdown also starts simultaneously.

The two paused for a moment as soon as they stepped into the door. The temperature here was as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius, and even Rody needed to drive more hellish heat to keep away the cold.

What is in front of you is not a separate morgue, but a "regional passage" that extends straight.

On the right side are the morgues [1-10] arranged evenly spaced apart.

Because there was no mandatory requirement for morgue storage, many carts carrying corpses were not even sent to the morgue, but were parked randomly in the aisles. Some even intertwined with each other, blocking the road.

On the cart,

The white cloth covered most of the body.

The exposed toes have a red label with a very conspicuous "Danger" sign printed on it.

Rody quickly stepped forward and came to the nearest corpse, which should be the corpse that had just been delivered today.

The first thing he had to do was to verify whether these so-called dangerous bodies were the same as the people he had seen jumping from the building.

Of course, Rody also took mental precautions.

The jaw-splitting organ is placed on the head, and the internal brain is tightly wrapped with tentacles.

Wow!
Lift the white cloth.

The deceased was the girl who jumped off the building that Luo Di saw this morning. The condition of the body was similar to what he imagined, but also somewhat different.

The girl fell from the building and landed on her face, causing her entire face to be covered in blood and her skull to be shattered and sunken.

However, as Rody held the girl's head and observed it carefully, he quickly confirmed that she did not have a face.

There is no facial structure.
Even the eye sockets, nose bridge, ear holes and oral structures have all degenerated.

Crunch, crunch~ When Roddy tried to use his tentacles to pry open the broken bones and flesh on his face, a deformed brain appeared before his eyes.

Completely atrophied,

It has a strip-shaped structure.
From the perspective of shape and outline, it is similar to a finger.

Just when Rody thought that the brain and facial features were degenerating in the same way, the brain exposed to the air actually moved.

Bent like fingers,

Roll together,
The cerebral sulci gradually opened up, presenting a larger gap structure and began to "breathe autonomously".

The whole brain seemed to be alive, exhaling streams of pure white air from between the grooves...or rather, fog!

When this happens, boom!
The sword accurately cut off the brain, and at the same time a strange moisture appeared to dissolve the shattered brain tissue.

Only a small amount of white mist was released into the environment, which did not cause serious impact.

Luo Di just took out a metal baseball bat and looked at Wu Wen in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party's speed could be so fast.

The latter stared at the faceless corpse and whispered all the information she had obtained:
“There’s not even a name on the body tag, so we can’t confirm the specific information. It seems that the hospital doesn’t take the newborn bodies sent in seriously anymore.

If we go to the deepest part and look at those early corpses, there might be some specific personal information left behind, and we might be able to get some clues.

Oh, right, we were delayed for twenty seconds just now..."
