Deep in the Living

Chapter 521 Late Night
The dishes that were served later might make one feel uncomfortable, but with a little thought, it was still edible, and the ingredients themselves were fresh and posed no harm to the body.

Compared to eating,

Roddy's attention was more focused on his father.

The restraint chair the father sat in was actually a support device. It ensured that the father relied entirely on electricity to move his arms while eating, ensuring that he did not engage in any "autonomous" eating behavior.

Based on the father's repeated falls during his appearance, his special attributes as a monster may be related to misfortune and bad luck.

If he were to start eating directly, he might accidentally pierce his mouth with a fork or get a bone through his throat, making it difficult for the dinner to continue.

Judging from the fact that Roddy accidentally bit off his own tongue, this misfortune seems to be passed on.

The dinner is over.

The father was very satisfied with the two young people's dining etiquette. "Later, the butler will arrange rooms for you two and explain the rules and regulations for staying at the resort."

"Do I live with Yu Ze? Where is Li Beite?"

Since it's your first time staying overnight in a monster family, it's safest to stay together. It would be best to stay with Libert, a special family member, to ensure your safety to the greatest extent possible.

"Do not.

You are no longer guests, but members of the family.

Your accommodation arrangements will be roughly determined based on your behavior upon arriving at the mountain, settling into the house, and during meals.

"Ok."

Roddy dared not raise any objections. He could sense that although his father seemed reasonable, something terrible might happen if he tried to go against his arrangements.

"That concludes the dinner; I need to go back to my room to rest."

The restraints on the father were removed, and a butler stepped forward and carried him on his back, leading him to the secret door without relying on his own strength.

It can be basically confirmed that bad luck events will not be triggered unless it is caused by one's own actions.

Just as Roddy was about to ask Liberty about his father and the family, Liberty had already put away the novel and was in a crouching position ready to crawl through a dog hole.

See you tomorrow morning during your free time; it's already night.

Our family is very strict about time zones, so please don't wander around at night. The nights here might be even more dangerous than the nights we experienced in those videotapes.

"Okay, um..."

Before Roddy could say anything more, the other person had already climbed out through the dog hole and left.

The deformed butler also came to Roddy and Yu Ze's side. "Please come with me to our lodgings. I suggest we go through the tunnel. If we choose to take a detour, it will waste time and we may encounter danger along the way. It is already night."

"What danger?"

"I'm not in a position to discuss this, but the only thing I can tell you is that this danger could directly threaten your lives."

Since Libet was willing to crawl through the hole, Roddy's side also compromised.

Go through the dog hole back to the original entrance hall, and then go up the stairs.

“Mr. Yu Ze, your room is temporarily located on the second floor. Just go to the right from here, and another group of us will be there to assist you.”

"See you tomorrow morning, fellow villager."

"it is good."

Roddy was led upstairs to the fifth floor, which was also the deepest room on the top floor of the mansion.

The design of this floor is significantly different from the other floors.
The semi-open corridor allows for a direct view of the mansion's backyard.
Seeing the trees that were crooked and twisted like human faces, and the kerosene lamps that hung irregularly on the trees, barely illuminating the forest, it seemed that there were unknown secrets hidden deep in the dense forest.

"what is that?"

Roddy suddenly noticed something that seemed to have returned from the woods to the backyard and was heading towards the mansion.

at the same time,

The thing seemed to sense being watched, stopped, and lit the kerosene lamp that it had just turned off.

As the lights illuminated,
Roddy also saw the other person's image: a woman wrapped in a deep red dress, with dark brown hair hanging down in front of her, just covering her eyes.

Half of the exposed nose is missing, while the other half is perfect.

One half of her lips was sewn shut, pale and chapped, while the other half was painted with red lipstick, warm and full.

The woman's other hand dragged a large, black bag, as if it were her harvest from the dense forest behind the mountain.

At that moment, the woman also looked up.

However, there was no one in the rooftop passageway.
At the crucial moment, Roddy was pulled away from the edge by the butler to avoid eye contact with the woman. The elephant-like butler was now panting heavily, his speech becoming somewhat slurred.

"Don't make eye contact with this person, don't encounter this person, it will be dangerous."

"What is that?" "I have no right to answer. Please go back inside! I didn't expect him to come back so early today. He probably knows that the family has guests."

I won't go into the details of the precautions, here's a piece of paper for you!
Under no circumstances should you leave your room tonight; your location is more dangerous than your companions'.

Roddy felt the butler's proliferating tissue wrap around his arm, dragging him quickly to a room at the end of the floor.

Whether it was this house or the rooms we passed along the way, it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time. Not only were they covered in dust, but the doors were also of an old and worn-out type.

The door even has a window structure on its surface. Although it is enclosed with frosted glass, it still poses some privacy issues.

Just as Roddy was about to find something to seal the window, the butler handed him the key and reminded him:

"This window must be kept; it's the same in every room. It's a family rule because Father doesn't allow anyone to secretly do anything inside the house that no one else can see."

That's about it! I need to go back and rest too, so I won't be able to answer your calls tonight. Please come down for breakfast at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning.

The butler appeared very flustered, and although it was only a small part of his original body, he quickly moved his deformed body away.

Roddy was somewhat taken aback, after all, this was his first time staying overnight at the Invisible Manor, and it was a completely different experience from the Sisterhood.

Both the father and the woman in red whom he had just glimpsed were strange.

Unlike the direct pressure from a grandmother, there was an indescribable, eerie unease.

Or rather, this unease began to gradually increase from the moment he stepped into the Invisible Manor, and was further amplified as he encountered various family members.

click!
Close and lock the door.

Roddy immediately released his crow, which transformed into a half-human, half-crow creature and began cleaning the house, while he himself began to reflect on his experiences that day.

"We must hold onto the Libet line."

I alone am definitely not enough to reach the depths of this corner more quickly. Such a rare monster, capable of thriving in the corners, must be the key to reaching the depths.

As for this family, after getting to know the father a little better, I'll see if I can suggest taking Liberty away.

According to Liberty himself, once his plants mature, they can move freely, and having experienced the videotape incident, he estimated that they were close to that point.

I don't want to think about it anymore; I'll talk about it tomorrow.

This family is likely much larger than what I've seen so far.

Roddy briefly inspected the guest room with its private bathroom. All the furnishings and water supply were the same as those for humans, with no difference except for the asymmetrical design.

Although he couldn't leave the room, he didn't waste any time.

After quickly skimming over the rules for checking into the mansion, I sat cross-legged on the bed and entered a meditative state.

They travel to a moon-like pituitary space, release the victims of the dungeon as hypothetical enemies, and continue practicing the massacres they learned in hell.

Each thought fluctuation produced a faint, slicing sound in the room.

Such mental simulations quickly led to fatigue.

I fall asleep promptly at 10 p.m.

however,
Luo Di's dreamless deep sleep was broken by an uncomfortable feeling, and he woke up in the middle of the night despite his excellent sleep quality.

Still sleepy-eyed,

Confusion

He heard a sound, like the dragging of a heavy object.

I instinctively looked toward the source of the sound, toward the window slat on the door.

Behind the frosted glass,
Just then, a red figure walked by.

Roddy instantly snapped back to reality, immediately recalling the woman in red he had seen earlier, and the dragging sound naturally corresponded to the large black bag in her hand.

However, the other party neither entered nor knocked on the door; they simply walked past it.

Gradually,
The sound faded into the distance.

Because family rules forbid altering the interior decorations, including adding items, Roddy couldn't set up a trap and could only keep a watchful eye on things before preparing to go back to sleep.

Unexpectedly, my prostate sent a signal that, although not very strong, it was still better to get rid of it.

Roddy quickly went to the bathroom to complete the external circulation of his bodily fluids.

He shook his lower body, pulled up his pants, and turned to go back into the house.

Just as he passed the sink, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that the reflection in the mirror wasn't just him; the person in red was right behind him.
