Deep in the Living

Chapter 491 Ancient Infection

I don't know how many times I've been on the verge of death.
Even the "Blood Bible" in his body began to lose pages and disintegrate, as if it could no longer support Rody's "abuse".

But Roddy didn't care, even though this blood prop had been successfully integrated into his film system.

He always maintains the nature of a "Peeping Tom". As long as his eyeballs are not dug out and as long as there are structures on his body that can help him get close to the Fog Man, he will stick to him and continue to peek.

I don't know how much time has passed.
The fog man suddenly changed and no longer attacked the young man in front of him.

It seemed that in his eyes, killing the other party was meaningless. No matter whether he crushed his head or destroyed his body, the young man would be able to be resurrected quickly, as if there was no end.

Or disgust,

Or fear,

Or admit it,

Or helpless,

Or permission,

Regardless, the Mist Man no longer launched any form of attack, his hands just hung down.

Bang!

The moonlight is scattered,

"Jason", covered in blood, was already standing behind him. He swung the bloody baseball bat horizontally, crushing his body into pieces, leaving only the Mist Man's head.

Sitting in the camping tent,
By the light of the bonfire,
Face to face, eyeballs pressed together.

This time he could finally peek openly without any time limit. His plan seemed to be successful and the truth was about to appear before his eyes.

However... peeping itself seems to be dangerous.

When Rody's consciousness returned from the spine to the brain and took over this body dominated by instinct, he suddenly felt confused! He couldn't understand why he could sit leisurely in the tent, holding the head of the fog man, and spying on him without any threat.

But he didn't think carefully, and any slight delay could cause him to be affected by brain fog.

Keep peeping.

After peeping dozens of times, Rody could basically see what was inside the face.

This time it was different.

The thick fog that filled the pits and the fog that obscured the secrets all disappeared, exposing the interior completely.

Such exposure also caught Rody, the "peeping Tom", completely off guard.

It was like a real voyeur was peeping at the hostess next door taking a bath. He was about to see the most crucial scene in the smoke, but the hostess opened the door directly and walked towards him.

When the internal picture was fully presented, Rody suddenly felt an attraction that pulled his consciousness away from his spine, pituitary gland, and brain.

In a very strange state of dissociative consciousness, I followed the stripes on the fog man's face and went straight inside.
Go inside the pit.

Going under the mist,

Heading into the unknown depths.

Luo Di suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

The contact with the [Ancestors] during the Hell Crossing Sea seemed to be somewhat similar to what was happening before my eyes, a long and ancient feeling.

But they are completely different in nature.

The ancestors were the natives of Hell, and there is a faint connection between them and the blood of Hell flowing in Rody's body. There are also similarities between the doors.

But Rody's feeling now is completely different. He can feel that what he is about to encounter this time is a completely "unknown".

Of course, this is just the tip of the unknown iceberg, which may be hundreds or thousands of times smaller than this tip.

The so-called fog,
It seems to be just a "lockbox" for security protection.

And the peeping Tom, Rody, accidentally dialed the correct password after numerous attempts and opened the box.

……

Rody slowly descended as a condensed body of consciousness, like an explorer pulling a tow rope, descending into a huge cave that had never been explored.

Consciousness and perception radiate to the surroundings,
It's like an explorer lighting a torch in his hand to illuminate the specific structure inside.

There's no brain in here.
No skull,

The basic units that make up the Mist Man's cranial cavity are actually tiny fingers, densely packed and covering the entire internal space. The ancient breath emanates from these fingers.

The breath is very thin and faint.

Such a structure still seems to be just some distant projection.

Hidden behind these fingers is something deeper, something directly related to terror, and something related to the origin of the corner.

It is not something that Rody can touch or spy on now.

It is already amazing enough for him to be able to see such a structure and touch such fingers now.

“Fingers…remains…mist…videotapes…corner incident.

I may know the essence of this incident! There is always screening in the corner, whether it is the advancement of pseudo-humans or the exploration of humans, it is all screening.

The events that happened inside the corner also followed this theme.

This time is no exception.

This event will select a participant who can see through the truth of the fog, or even "get the truth", and that person... must be me!"

While Rody was thinking,

His consciousness finally descended onto the cranial cavity floor that was constructed with fingers.

From "observation" to "contact".

As the soft touch reached his flesh, an inner change began to take place.

hum!
It's a familiar dream again.
Luo Di woke up in his home in the resettlement community in Jupiter City. This time he could even vaguely feel that this was a dream, but he didn't know why he suddenly had this dream, nor did he know how to wake up.

"Rodi, get up and eat!"

His mother's voice made him feel uneasy.
He quickly put on his shoes and walked out. However, there was no horror scene at home.

My mother, wearing an apron, was preparing various dishes, while my father was helping.

My sister was sitting on the sofa with a black-haired girl, chatting and laughing, and seemed to be preparing to watch a movie.

"Sister, who is this?"

"Rodi, are you crazy? Isn't this your squad leader?"

"Monitor?"

Luo Di looked at the black-haired girl who was smiling at him, but he felt that he could not remember her clearly. He only vaguely remembered that her name was Wu Wen.

"It seems like I've slept for too long. I'll go wash up."

Whenever his brain was blocked, Rody would wash his face with cold water to clear his mind.

This time is no exception.

But when the cold water hit his face, he still couldn't remember whether he was the squad leader or not. He didn't think much about it and just brushed his teeth first, after all, there were guests at home.

Squeeze some toothpaste,

Squeeze the brush handle.

Brushing teeth is a very common practice that has remained unchanged for more than ten years.

But this time, Rody vaguely felt that something was wrong, as if there was something wrong with some details.

He raised his eyes and looked at himself in the wash mirror, looking at himself brushing his teeth... Suddenly, his pupils dilated and he almost lost his grip on the toothbrush.

The hand holding the toothbrush actually has six fingers.

The extra finger could be directly controlled by Roddy and was no different from other fingers, and there was no abnormality in its movement.

Luo Di quickly took out his other hand for comparison.

however,
There are seven fingers on this hand...

The sudden change caused the toothbrush to finally fall into the sink.

When he subconsciously reached for the toothbrush, he saw centipede-like fingers curled up and grasping, and the number of fingers on a single hand exceeded double digits.

Click~
suddenly,

A tooth fell out of his mouth, followed by the second, and more and more... but there was no bleeding during the whole process, and it seemed to be a normal shedding process.

Rody raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror again.

He had thick fingers growing out of each of his gums to replace his original teeth.

Even tiny finger structures have grown on the surface of the tongue, which will replace the function of the tongue coating.

Suddenly,

His right eye was peeled off and fell into the pool, getting stuck in the leak.

Rody did not try to pick up the eyeball, but used his remaining left eye to observe himself in the mirror.

He saw that the eye sockets of the missing eyeball were filled with fingers, and they were growing outwards wildly, also trying to replace the function of the eyeball, and the fingerprints of these fingers actually had an outline similar to that of the eyes.

His left eye was also shaking and was eventually pushed out by the fingers inside.

but,

The blindness did not last long, and Rody gained a wider and more comprehensive vision provided by multiple fingers.

The fingers growing between the eye sockets bloom like chrysanthemums, and each one is equivalent to a high-precision compound eye that can accept a wider range of wavelengths and analyze the structure of tiny objects.

Distortion continues.

Luo Di suddenly no longer felt uncomfortable.

He seemed to accept this change and even felt that he was heading towards a higher world.

Until a voice came from outside the door.

His sister and the unfamiliar class monitor were actually watching his most familiar slasher movie "Friday the 13th" together. The iconic opening music pulled Rody's thoughts back and reminded him of his own nature.

"I am a human being... I have things to do..."

……

【Winslem University-School of Life Sciences】

The collection of relevant clues has been completed. Wu Wen obtained more comprehensive and direct clues than what she had obtained at the newspaper. She no longer stayed and evacuated decisively.

“We were delayed for a full twenty minutes, and the fog man didn’t catch up with us, and the fog in the whole building seemed to have thinned a lot.

What did Rody do?

Looking at the quiet and safe corridor, Wu Wen couldn't understand what was going on. In her opinion, Luo Di's behavior of delaying time alone would most likely lead to his death.

Mia had already sped up and rushed downstairs, holding an iron bucket in one hand and an axe in the other, ready to kill the fog man together with Rody.

When they arrived at the hall, they did not see the fighting scene they had expected.

Only the light from the TV was on in the security room.

Bang!

Mia kicked the door of the security room open.

The scene before them stunned them both.

Luo Di was sitting in the security guard's seat, the TV full of snow dots shone white light on him...Crack!Crack! Waves of chewing and tearing sounds came from his mouth.

Rodita,
Biting his fingers.
Not a single finger was left, all of them were bitten off by the teeth, and every bone was chewed away, as if to ensure the "complete death" of the fingers.

Although his eyes were closed, his expression was extremely determined.
