Deep in the Living

Chapter 487 Chaos Intensifies
In the bedroom,
Everyone sat cross-legged on the bed and discussed the information they had collected so far.

The originally confusing incident is gradually becoming clearer with the help of clues piece by piece.

The main events currently underway are summarized as follows:
1. The corner incident that the eight of them were involved in corresponded to a "videotape", which should have involved them through the form of a TV screening, with the emphasis on erasing the participants' memories of each other.

2. The danger directly related to videotapes is [fog].

Whether it is Wu Wen’s experience in the newspaper office and the related clues, or what is happening at school now, they are all related to fog.

It is basically certain that if they want to escape from the videotape, they will most likely need to find the source of the fog, which corresponds to "a certain set of remains."

3. In addition, there are many terrifying divinities projected from the corners, which together constitute the event. These divinities are scattered inside and outside the city. Although dangerous, they are also full of opportunities.

People like Rody and Mia received relevant rewards by completing tasks required by the divinity, which was a great help in the exploration process.

in addition,

Important information from across the university has also been collected.

1. Fog Man
One of the fear forms corresponding to fog.

It needs the help of television to express itself, and the danger can be eliminated as long as the "medium" of television can be destroyed.

Its capabilities include but are not limited to:
"Thinking influence (brain fog)" - During combat, the target's thinking reaction will become slower and slower, and even make some completely wrong decisions.

"Mist Touch" - The Mist Man's fingers are swirling with compressed mist.

Once the opponent is touched, the relevant part will be instantly erased.

Even the hellish flesh displayed by Rody could not resist it, and both flesh and steel would disappear.

"Inner Weather" - During a fight with the Fog Man, once you are injured, the fog in the environment will quickly penetrate inward and permeate your body.

Once the internal weather is formed, all regeneration and self-healing effects will become invalid, and the body will become the weakest human body. Even the most ordinary injuries may lead to death.

"High-level Flesh" - It is difficult for lethal means to cause effective damage to the Fog Man. Even if damage is caused, it will be quickly filled and repaired by the environmental fog.

*No core or weaknesses have been discovered yet.

2. Investigation direction
According to the investigation in the underground morgue, the victims of faceless suicide are mainly concentrated in the School of Life Sciences. It is estimated that there are important clues related to the fog inside that school. As long as they can be found, the investigation of this university location can be concluded ahead of schedule.

……

After summarizing the clues, Luo Di decisively gave the next action plan: no need to wait, it will be tonight.

"Let's go to the cafeteria to eat something now, and then go directly to the School of Life Sciences. If what Mia said is true, we can all enter with the iron buckets."

Luo Di jumped off the bed and picked up the iron bucket.

The girl inside was still sleeping. Even though the situation Mia described was exaggerated and terrifying, Roddy did not feel even a hint of danger.

Just as he was about to go out with the bucket, Wu Wen's voice came from behind him:
"Don't even think about eating~ Also, just go out this way, faster, finish early, and evacuate this university early."

Wu Wen had already reached the dormitory window and made a dangerous leap:

“Didn’t I tell you? [Location], like the fog of the entire city, will become more dangerous over time, and the chaos value will increase automatically.

The school has become dangerous now and is no longer what it was when we first arrived.

Don’t even think about eating, just have some snacks to keep you going.”

"It's only the second day and it's like this? Our undercover operation in the hospital last night was very successful, and Mia didn't kill anyone."

Wu Wen, however, gestured to the number "3", "Today is my third day on campus."

"Ah? I slept for two days? So what's going on at school now?"

"You can look through the peephole and probably know."

"Let me see."

As soon as Rody put his eyes on the cat's eye, he saw a student facing the wall.

Because he was facing the wall, he couldn't see the specific face clearly.

Just from the way the other person's fingers held the cigarette and the white smoke coming out of his mouth, it seemed that he was smoking.

Maybe I felt spied on.

The student began to slowly turn his body, revealing a face with degenerating facial features. Only two round pits remained for the eyes, the nose was only slightly raised, and the mouth had a small hole that was barely open, just enough to allow a cigarette to be inserted.

There were also a lot of cigarette butts scattered on the ground, as if he had been smoking here all the time.

The student quickly approached the cat's eye.
No knocking on the door,

No collision.

Instead, he took out the cigarette, struggled to stick his tongue out from the only small hole left in his mouth, and licked the surface of the cat's eye.

Luo Di had already left the door. "Has the whole school started to become faceless? His smoking behavior should be a yearning for the fog. I guess he won't survive tonight and will jump off the building to commit suicide."

He came to the window and looked at the campus in the last rays of the setting sun.
Sure enough, a large number of smoking students were wandering around the campus, and people who were about to commit suicide could be seen on the rooftops of every building, with those on campus who had completely lost their facial features lined up there.

Looking at this scene, Luo Di began to think about disguise again. "The School of Life Sciences is quite far from here. If we go around, we will be discovered, right?"

"Ok?"

Wu Wen pointed at the iron bucket in Luo Di's hand and said, "You've been sleeping for too long, and your mind is still not clear. Didn't Mia say that we have a special partner who can save us the trouble of lurking and disguising."

"Is it also useful against these mutated guys?"

"Mia and I have already tested it this morning. It will work as long as the person is not dead. The girl you have been protecting is very special."

"Row."

Three figures landed one after another downstairs of the dormitory.

Rody tried to hold the iron bucket in front of him like a lantern.

Sure enough, the teachers and students we met along the way would come forward and offer their courtesy, wanting to help lead the way and help carry the buckets.

Luo Di wanted to refuse but was interrupted by Wu Wen.

"If they are rejected, they will become unstable, so just agree to everything."

"Ok."

Just from the dormitory building to the [School of Life Sciences], the team of four had turned into a team of a hundred people.

A large number of students whose facial features were degenerating gathered around, forming a large circle. If a student became completely faceless during the process, he or she would voluntarily leave the group and go to the nearest high-rise building to commit suicide.

The academy in front of us has long been abandoned.
The surface of the building is covered with various cordons and no-entry stickers.

“Rodi, let someone go in and try. If these guys can help us search for clues, all the risks can be avoided.”

"Row."

In the eyes of this group of people, Rody, who was carrying the iron bucket, was completely the spokesperson for the girl and would comply with any request.

After a brief exchange, several strong students quickly ran into the building and explored from different directions to help everyone search for clues.

Only two minutes passed.

Snapped!
These students fell in front of everyone, their faces smashed to pieces.

"It's not that simple. Ordinary people will become faceless once they step into this place. Let's do it ourselves... Be careful. We will probably be affected accordingly."

As hundreds of students waved goodbye,

The team officially walked into the abandoned college building.

Tear off the seal.

When you push open the sensor door that has been disabled for a long time,
Zizizi!
A disturbing electromagnetic noise came from the security room inside.

Looking inside through the hollow iron window,

There was actually a TV in the security room, which turned on simultaneously when everyone stepped inside.

When the foggy man walked out of the security room with his body hunched, the hall was empty. The four men seemed to have immediately gone deeper into the building.

The fog man did not follow.

His body was taken back into the TV through the mist from the soles of his feet. The image on the screen changed from half a face to snowflakes and disappeared.
