Deep in the Living

Chapter 518 "Going Home"

The land that the Exploration Bureau bought at great expense naturally needs to be used to its fullest potential.

Agents who spend long hours in corners are constantly under mental pressure; fear accumulates within them like a toxin.
Not everyone can adapt to fear like Roddy.

After all, Roddy's pituitary gland originated from Mr. Kraft, which is considered the highest level of divine pituitary gland, and it is inherently inclined to adapt. Moreover, he is also a "connector" of a powerful world.

therefore,

Agents returning from missions need to be provided with certain living services, at least some food similar to that in the human world, which can greatly help them recover.

The streets surrounding the department store are lined with various shops, mainly restaurants.

Of course, the agents selected as elites do not work in the store.

The food processing and service are handled by special intelligent machines brought from the human world, produced by the atomic military industry.

Inside a Chinese noodle restaurant,

Luo Di and Yu Ze each ordered their favorite flavor, which was also their last meal before leaving the Exploration Bureau.

"Yu Ze, are you really sure you want to come with me? The Exploration Bureau should have plenty of resources, and the minister seems to trust you a lot. You've also reached the Silver rank in a short time."

"Didn't you say you were going to a place suitable for humans? Wouldn't it be perfect to take me along?"
Moreover……"

Yu Ze suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Luo Di's ear, "I've said before that I don't really like working with trash... The headquarters is indeed good, and there are many strong people out on missions."

But since I've only been here a short time, the teammates I'm assigned to each time are all pretty mediocre guys.

I hate mediocrity, and I don't want to clean up other people's messes—unless, of course, someone as strong as you, my fellow villager, has to.

After speaking, Yu Ze returned to his seat and continued speaking normally:

"I have a few questions I want to ask you before we set off! I had a general idea of ​​your current level, Roddy, through the newcomer test, and there's one thing that really puzzles me."

Although the twin female ghosts had only recently sprouted, they were still quite special.

Their curses are activated through blood, and they possess remarkable blood-related talents.

But when facing you, I feel a fear of blood… You didn’t seem to have this ability before? Did you acquire it from the videotape incident?”

Roddy didn't hide anything. He opened his right hand, and holes resembling lotus pods appeared in his palm, forming a "Blood Bible".

"This is the reward I received for the incident. The one who gave me this reward was a distant divine projection, probably from the depths of a corner."

I can currently integrate this book into my system, much like a movie prop; the effect is best achieved in a cinematic setting.

When Yu Ze saw this book, he felt uncomfortable and his blood circulation became sluggish.

"I'm so damn angry~ I should have known better than to play hide-and-seek with you back then and just go to the middle level.

This videotape opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime chance; if you miss it once, you'll probably never have another one in your life.

This divine fear is so captivating that it can directly induce corresponding fear symptoms in an individual, even if the individual is naturally drawn to this attribute.

I hope this trip with Roddy will continue to bring good luck... By the way! What place you mentioned that's suitable for humans to go to?

"Could this be a sorority? My kidneys are nice, but not as good as yours."

Have you heard of "Invisible Manor"?

When Luo Di gave the term, Yu Ze, who had been joking just a second ago, suddenly froze.

"You're not kidding me?"

"No ah."

Yu Ze did not continue speaking, but instead used his current identity to access the Exploration Bureau's database and retrieve a file.

[Invisible Manor (Information can be made public)]

Brief Introduction: A special monster organization (family structure) located in the middle level. Its members rarely appear in public. Although there have been no cases of direct attacks on agents, there are two incidents of entire teams being wiped out, which are suspected to be related to this organization.

Size: Medium or above

Type: Elite Family Management
Members: Completely unknown

Risk level: ★★★☆ (or higher)
Note: If an agent suspects encountering members of this organization during an exploration, please make a decisive choice to retreat or quickly eliminate them, depending on the strength of your team. Do not give them a chance to get reinforcements.

This was the first time Roddy had ever seen assessment data on such a monstrous organization. "There's something like this? Does the Sisterhood have one? Let me compare."

“You can find out about such blatant organizations as sorority organizations yourself.”

"Let me see."

Roddy manipulated the bracelet to connect to the Bureau of Exploration's intranet and quickly found the corresponding publicly available information.

【Sisterhood (Public Information Available)】 Description: An open monster organization located in the middle levels, whose members are all female monsters. Unless there is a conflict of interest, Sisterhood members will most likely choose to ignore the situation if agents do not initiate an attack; they are a relatively neutral organization.

If there are male members in the team, please avoid direct eye contact as much as possible, otherwise it will increase the possibility of conflict.

Size: Medium to large
Type: Unique Matrilineal Management Structure
Member: Grandmother (Founder; access to information on other sorority members requires Silver or higher privileges)
Risk level: ★★★ (or higher)

……

Yu Ze touched the document projection with his finger and explained simply:
"Have you finished reading? The Invisible Manor is a rather special kind of hidden organization. There has never been any record of them having contact with humans, and there are two cases of total annihilation that are suspected to be related to this organization."

Fellow villager, it seems that the travel documents you submitted did not mention any contact with Wuxing Mountain Villa?

Why are you so sure this place is suitable for humans to go there? Did you find some kind of scam flyer in the Black Coffin Supermarket, kid?

Roddy was still engrossed in the organizational intelligence provided by the Exploration Bureau. "The Sisterhood's rating is actually slightly lower than that of the Invisible Manor. Of course, there may be unknown errors... Ah? Because I know a monster from the Invisible Manor, and I received an invitation from him."

"Could it be the 'natural monster' you mentioned before?"

"Yes, Li Beite is a special descendant cultivated by the Invisible Manor, and he should have a certain status in the family."

I've had contact with this person multiple times, and I've seen his true nature in the videotapes. He has a natural affinity for humans, so he shouldn't be lying.

"Fellow villager, you should think this through. If it's a trap, we might just die right there."

Even if we didn't die, by the time our predecessors from the Exploration Bureau found us, we'd probably be completely reduced to mindless slaves.

"Let's go... If we really encounter a trap, we can escape."

Seeing Luo Di's determination, Yu Ze's expression quickly returned to normal. "It seems that even in the worst-case scenario, you are confident that you can escape... That's good! Go."

I also want to see just how strong this rumored 'natural monster' who can grow up in a corner really is.

The area where the Exploration Bureau is located offers multiple ways to reach other areas in the corner, including but not limited to subway, train, bus, etc.

After showing their travel credentials, Luo Di and Yu Ze boarded a special train.

After reaching the middle level of the corner, they would have to figure out the rest of the journey on their own.

For some reason, the moment Roddy stepped off the platform, he had a strange feeling of "going home".

To minimize the possibility of monster interference, Roddy took out a long-hidden item and hung it around his neck.

Yu Ze instinctively took three steps back and stared at the arm-shaped pendant.

"Fellow villager, what exactly did you do in the sisterhood to get this? No wonder you weren't afraid of the risks of the Invisible Manor at all."

"Yu Ze, hurry up and get out what you bought from the Exploration Bureau. We need to get ready to leave. Li Beite gave me the specific location information. It should only take about half a day to get there from here."

"Don't rush~ Things that have been compressed need some time to decompress."

Yu Ze took out an object wrapped in light blue talisman paper and slowly opened it according to the unsealing order, and soon obtained a carriage that combined modern technology.

Caw! A crow caws!

The crow-foal emerged from the palm and multiplied.

A robust black horse with a long, thin snout and an eerie aura emanating from it; one could even feel whisker-like substances wriggling on its belly.

After the crow colt was connected to the carriage.

We set off.

Because of its complete integration with the corner element, the aura released by the crow foal is more sophisticated than that of ordinary vehicle creatures.

Combined with the high-grade materials used in the carriage and the seals placed on it by Ze, any monster with even a little sense wouldn't bother with it.

Smooth ride.

After several hours of driving, we were almost at our destination.

The foal suddenly slowed down, turning from galloping to walking normally, and the sound of its hooves hitting the ground became almost non-existent.

The view outside the window changed from an ordinary corner road to golden wheat fields, and the carriage was traveling on an exceptionally smooth country road.

Strange-looking scarecrows were stuck in different wheat fields.

Several kilometers away, there was a small hill with exceptionally dense vegetation, as if a mysterious, invisible manor was nestled deep within it.

The entire area was almost completely silent, almost unbelievably quiet.

Meanwhile, Roddy quickly discovered the reason why the crow had switched to walking.

“Disaster-prone areas…are related to sound; it seems that as long as sound exceeds a certain limit, it will be directly affected by the source of fear.”
