Deep in the Living

Chapter 526 Opportunity
Following behind the lady of the house, watching her walk ahead with her uneven legs, one thin and one thick, they somehow ended up on the top floor of the mansion.

"Mom, is your bedroom on this floor too? You don't live with Father?"

"If there's no need to have children, why continue living together? Besides, since Libet was born, the misfortune within my husband has undergone a fundamental change."

While the effects are enhanced, they also become slightly uncontrollable; living with him would only increase unnecessary risks.

As she spoke, the woman inserted the key into the lock.

A strange smell wafted out as soon as the door was pushed open.

This strange smell, however, caused a super-fast chemical reaction after entering Roddy's nasal cavity, bringing a rather strong brain impulse.

A long-lost feeling of hunger returned.

The plant in his brain was yearning for the source of the scent, and his saliva involuntarily began to secrete.

"Not bad, right? This is my private workshop. There aren't many places in the whole area where you can purify [inferior materials], and this is one of them."

I wasn't originally good at these things, but for Liberty, I, as her mother, am willing to learn anything.

The door is pushed open.

A room resembling a biological laboratory came into view.

The inferior prey brought back from the hunt underwent "decapitation" here; their heads were separated out, while the rest were handed over to the steward for disposal.

One by one, heads were inserted into extremely asymmetrical test tubes, and all the matter between the brain cells was extracted.

Through a series of distillation processes, a high-purity liquid is finally obtained, and there is still a small cup left here.

"Drink it, you deserve it."

"Thank you."

Roddy swallowed it without hesitation.

Thump—for a split second, I could actually hear my heart beating.
The moon, the dungeon, the plant cultivation room.

The liquid they had just drunk was immediately converted into fertilizer and used to irrigate the soil. Not only did the faces on the soil cheer with joy, but the long-leaved plants at the very center also began to tremble slightly, as if they were about to grow.

"thanks Mom!"

"Oh? Your body's adaptability is so high. It was completely absorbed as soon as it was ingested, without any side effects. No wonder you're related to Mr. Kraft."

I had assumed that there were no beings of the same rank as my Libet, but now it seems I need to reassess.

The humans you brought here, as well as the woman who was teleported directly from the Sisterhood today, are no ordinary people either.

"Your generation is really something! It seems my husband's arrangements were indeed wise; letting you get early access to the [Entrance] is a good thing."

"Mom, you must have called me here for something else, right?"

Roddy's question caused the atmosphere to change abruptly. The hostess suddenly turned around, took a step and came directly in front of him, and touched her forehead with a finger.

A feeling of asymmetry swept over his entire body, as if his body structure would change in the next second.

“I should be asking you those questions, Roddy.”

What is your purpose in coming here?
My husband was acting strangely this morning. Instead of punishing you for what happened last night, he seemed to be trying to ward off bad luck and even suggested that you go to the entrance tonight.

This isn't like my usual reliable husband.

I could sense a change in him. He seemed to want to lift the ban on Liberty ahead of schedule and let him leave the house... In the past, he was the first to decide that Liberty should stay at home until he was mature before leaving, which would greatly reduce the risk.

After much thought, I realized the key reason for this is you.

Your visit to our Invisible Manor is definitely not just a simple visit. After all, you don't even know where the entrance is. Are you trying to take my son away ahead of schedule?"

suddenly,
Roddy felt the entire room begin to shift, and his internal organs began to stir, with his blood vessels and bones shifting positions.

Roddy's next answer will likely determine his life or death.

"Yes, Mom... but not completely. Instead, invite him to a place that would be helpful to both of us. Like with the videotape incident last time, there might be an unexpected opportunity."

"Where?"

The woman tilted her head, and her bangs slipped down, revealing one of her eyes.

The eyeball, resembling a Rubik's Cube with a nine-square grid structure, has no identical pieces and is currently changing randomly, making Roddy feel like he's about to fall apart.

Roddy did not choose to answer verbally.

Instead, he stretched out his fingers and slid them across the back of the woman's hand.

It's not just about simple skin contact; it enhances the tactile experience through tendril structures, while simultaneously using inkjet printing to create a faint graphic on the back of the hand.

The sensation was strange, causing the woman to shift her attention and slightly loosen her grip on Roddy.

Upon seeing the vortex structure on the back of his hand, all suppression against Luo Di was released.

"You... have access to this organization?"

"Yes." "I had heard my husband mention this before. This newly emerging organization is very special. It has caused quite a few troubles in less than a year since its founding and before it has even been recognized by the Corner."

Those who are recruited into this organization are said to be the elite of the new generation.

The organization's operations are completely secretive, and it seems to have a special talent development method.

Several monstrous organizations are currently eyeing this vortex, but there's still no concrete information. Are you sure this organization won't harm you?

"I'm sure! I could have gone alone, which would have saved me a lot of trouble, allowed me to grow independently, and given me access to more resources."

But Liberty was the first friend I made in the corner, so I came here specifically to bring him along, hoping he might learn something different.

His talent is amazing, and he is still growing.

I originally planned to bring this up with my father the day before I left Wuxing Manor. If you disagreed, I would leave on my own.

Since you've asked, Mom, I can only tell you in advance.

Luo Di's sincere speech, full of emotion, revealed no trace of pretense or deception, which brought tears to the eyes of the mother opposite him.

Snapped!
He spread his arms and pulled Roddy into his embrace.

A subtle, asymmetrical tactile sensation emanates from the front.

"What a good child, Mom misunderstood you! Putting aside the issue of contacting this organization, I appreciate your good intentions, and I'm truly sorry."

From now on, you are Mom's godson, and you are welcome to come to our home anytime.

I will discuss this matter with my husband and give you an answer later... Also, because Mom misunderstood you, according to family rules, I need to give you some compensation.

Do you want it?

"What?" Roddy had a bad feeling and was already thinking about how to refuse.

"My misunderstanding just now led me to murder. A young man of your level would have already been paralyzed due to asymmetry, or even be in mortal danger."

Yet you are still able to maintain your "integrity".

Rather than saying you are highly adaptable, it's more accurate to say that your very nature contains an "asymmetry." Now, embracing you closely, I've discovered that you possess two completely different developmental systems.

One is a corner, the other is a world full of heat and slaughter.

While the two systems have achieved structural unification, they are somewhat 'asymmetrical' in terms of capability expression. You should be able to demonstrate drastically different attitudes through different systems, right?

"Yes."

"As expected... I knew I'd find you more pleasing to the eye on the first day. You've always had an asymmetrical quality, it's just that you haven't discovered it yet."

From now until we depart tonight, you stay here and learn about asymmetry with me.

Learn as much as you can; this is a one-time lesson.

"Okay! Thanks, Mom!"

At this moment, Roddy finally understood what the opportunity he had sensed last night really was. It wasn't the hunting in the back mountain, nor the entrance to the dungeon.

Rather, it was the mistress of the Invisible Manor.

Upon hearing this, Roddy realized that although Hell and Corner were unified in biological structure, their external expressions differed.

Especially the demonic posture, in cinematic mode, is an imitation of a serial killer; the two can only be expressed separately to deal with different dangerous scenarios.

Moreover, after last night's hunt, and Roddy's observation of the mistress.

The opponent's acquisition of this "asymmetric" characteristic is extremely domineering, capable of directly destroying the underlying structure of organisms. If one can learn its essence, it will bring Roddy one step closer to his goal.

"What are you thinking about? Come on up!"

I don't know when,

The roof partition was already open, leading to a hidden attic in the mansion, and a fragrant aroma wafted down, suggesting that the mistress's real bedroom was up there.

When Roddy followed him upstairs and looked at the interior structure and decorations of the attic,

A strong sense of unease swept over me, and my heart rate rose to around 200.

The hostess, who always dressed in a red dress, changed into a yoga outfit here, tied her hair up with a rubber band, and deliberately revealed her two mysterious eyes.

On the left is the Rubik's Cube Eye that Roddy had seen before; it seems capable of directly disassembling the body.

The right eye was surprisingly just an ordinary person's eye structure, with a faint red tint that was strangely alluring.

He gently beckoned to Roddy with his palm:

"Come on~ Attack me with your strongest form, don't worry about the noise. Besides, this bedroom of mine has been specially treated, no one knows what we're doing here."

Time is limited, so it depends on how much you can learn.
