Deep in the Living

Chapter 492 The Third Day

Various numbers that could symbolize "3" emerged in Rody's mind, and the word "end" also appeared.

As these characters disappeared, Rody suddenly woke up from his sleep.

The [Third Day] in the videotape has arrived.

But Rody did not care about the time at the first moment, nor did he care about where he was, nor did he check whether there was any danger around him.

Instead, he looked at his own hands.

The fingers were completely broken, with obvious teeth marks on the broken surface.

This situation actually made Rody feel at ease, and his heart rate dropped.

Moreover, there are only five broken fingers on each hand, which means there is no problem with the quantity.

However, Roddy still did not regenerate his fingers immediately. He became very cautious and even felt that he had some PTSD.

After confirming that there was no problem on his hands, he began to focus on his own condition and current environment.

The body still has a little fatigue, but the overall perfection is fine.
The "Blood Bible" cannot be called upon for the time being. Its blood is not infinite. The collision with the fog man almost exhausted all of its reserve blood. Now it is buried in the soil of the cellar and slowly recovering.

Thinking about the linkage effect between the Bible and the film, which can be presented with "fake blood props", even Rody temporarily forgot about the problem on his finger and smiled.

"I really survived..."

As he cursed unconsciously, Rody suddenly remembered the girl in the iron barrel and his eyes quickly searched here.

This is not a school dormitory, but more like an off-campus hotel with three-person rooms.

However, this guest room seemed extremely damp. Not only was there water on the floor, but there were also various forms of water droplets crawling on the walls, and there was a constant sound of dripping water coming from the bathroom.

The iron bucket was placed at the head of the bed, and the girl was still sleeping in it.

Mia was sleeping soundly in her own bed, wrapped in bedding, and did not come over to disturb Rody.

The bedding had already been folded on the third bed. Wu Wen was not in the room for the time being, but her faint scent lingered in the room, as if she had just left not long ago.

All the windows in the guest rooms were closed, and the curtains were not only drawn but also glued shut.

Rody quickly stood up, put on his shoes and went to the bathroom. He now needed a mirror to check his entire body.

Take off your clothes and turn on the brightest heating lamp in the bathroom.
Using the mirror on the sink, I carefully observed every detail and corner of my body to make sure that I didn't have the same finger structure as in my dream.

He even grew tentacles and inserted them into every hole in his body, conducting a forced search inside his body.

Last night's dream,

He remembered it too clearly and for too long, even several times longer than the battle with the Mist Man, more than ten times!
In the dream, his body was completely transformed into fingers, filling the entire bathroom. He had to rely on his willpower to tear and rip all the fingers apart.

Although he had such an extremely dangerous nightmare that might affect his reality, Rody himself still gained a lot.

He had basically figured out the true nature of the incident, and his own understanding of the finger had also improved.

After making sure everything was normal, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The view turns back to the mutilated palm. With the help of the physical energy brought by the spine, the finger frame is first woven with metal wire, and then the flesh and blood are regenerated.

The weird thing is,
Even though he had the correct number of fingers, and even though they were his own fingers, Rody still felt somewhat uncomfortable when moving them.

He even forgot how to hold the toothbrush, whether he should use five fingers, pinch it with two fingers, or hold the toothbrush between his fingers.

at this time,

Bang!

The bathroom door was pushed open, and the sleepy Mia hugged Rody from behind, helped him hold the toothbrush and started brushing his teeth.

There was no unnecessary communication, just looking at each other with a smile through the mirror.

There was gratitude, admiration and something else in his eyes.

"We're off-campus now, right, Mia?"

"Didn't you receive the information from the brain? The third day has arrived, and it is also the last day of this incident. The clues we have obtained so far have determined the direction of our actions today. We will prepare to set off after Wu Wen returns.

According to the clues,

The participants in this incident will probably become competitors in the end, but don't worry, we are all in this together. At least we have to wait until we get rid of the others before we start the internal competition.

In addition, we don’t know how bad the environment outside has deteriorated. The fog covering the entire city should have reached its maximum danger level today.”

"Where are the clues?" "No hurry, Wu Wen will summarize them together later."

When the two walked out of the bathroom, they happened to meet Wu Wen coming back with three servings of Western breakfast in her hands. The portions were large, which meant that they would need to finish this meal to sustain themselves until everything was over.

During breakfast,

Luo Di first briefly described how he faced the Mist Man alone, using his immortality to delay the time until the other party gave up the attack and disappeared automatically.

However, Rody did not tell about the important clues he got by peeping, those were his clues alone.

Wu Wen heard some problems:
"Did you forcefully drag me? When we found you, you were in a very strange state, as if you were wary of your fingers. What was going on?"

“The brain of the fog man has the same finger structure as those students who committed suicide. I have a vague feeling that I might become similar.

Therefore, I have been rejecting the factor of "fingers" during the battle, which may have caused my outer body to regard my fingers as heresy and eat them. "

"Is that so?"

Although this explanation made sense, Wu Wen always felt that something was odd. After all, the scene of Luo Di chewing his fingers last night was too vivid. It was definitely not eating fingers in the ordinary sense.

However, she did not pursue it too much.

She had more admiration and gratitude for the fact that Luo Di could choose someone to risk his life to do this, and she even saw a rare charm of the opposite sex in this young man.

“It was all thanks to you buying time last night that Mia and I collected [important clues] on campus.

The "remains" that were previously reported in newspapers and could cause fog to spread throughout the city were sent to the School of Life Sciences at Winslem University for a period of research.

The researchers who were involved in the main research at the time soon committed suicide collectively.

Suicides continued to spread, affecting all teachers and students who had worked in the School of Life Sciences.

The school promptly reported the incident to the city government, and after discussion it was decided to rebury the unknown body back to the place where it was first found.

But from our current perspective, the problem has not been solved.

Mia and I tried to find the research report on the unknown corpse on the computers in the hospital, but found that the hard drives of all the computers were damaged, without exception.

Various paper documents were also destroyed.

However, we did find something in a graduate student's office. A student who had participated in the cadaver research had made notes in a notebook.

Perhaps sensing that death was approaching, the student wrote down as much trivia as he could about the body and its burial location in a notebook, and hid the notebook instead of turning it in.

He believes that reburying the body will not be effective, and hopes that whoever sees this message will find a way to take the body away or destroy it. "

"Is there any location information?!" Luo Di was shocked.

"Yes! The completeness of the clues is beyond my expectation. It may be related to the difficulty of entering the [location] for the four of us... Mainly because you, Rody, stopped the fog man. If we hadn't bought so much time, Mia and I would not have been able to find such an inconspicuous clue object."

"Let's go quickly and try to get in touch with the remains as soon as possible."

"Don't be anxious... The situation outside is very dangerous right now. The thick fog has reached the third stage. If you don't pay attention, you will be swallowed up. Just feel it for a while."

talking.

Wu Wen came to the window of the guest room and tore open the curtains that were stuck with glue.

"Hmm? Fading?"

I thought the fog would get thicker, but in reality there was only a little fog floating outside the window, much thinner than the first day.

The field of vision is basically no longer restricted, and the whole city seems to be covered by a thin veil.

There is no longer any concrete image of "self-fear" outside the window, and the crisis seems to be dissipating.

however,
Whether it was Rody, Mia, or even the girl in the iron barrel room, they all showed uncomfortable expressions.

Rody's family members were touching his body, licking his skin, and whispering in his ears.

Wow!
Curtains cover,

The real fear that surrounded them quickly disappeared.

"This is the effect of the third day... You don't need to be exposed. As long as you see the fog, you will be deeply trapped in it, and your reality will be affected."

While explaining, Wu Wen wiped the sweat, or rather... saliva, from her face.
