Deep in the Living

Chapter 538 Limit
five minutes ago.

After establishing the "regional restrictions," Roddy completed all his speculations about the events in the movie, which also marked the initial exploration of the dungeon.

"Random movie selection, information hidden, explore on your own."

First dungeon exploration,
And I just happened to randomly get this kind of short film with a unit structure, in single-player mode. I figure the film structure won't be too complicated, and there won't be any elements that require a team to decipher.

The film's scope is limited to this small county town; it cannot leave.

The police station was in a relaxed state, only getting busy when Miss Tian appeared, which basically confirmed that there was only one dangerous incident.

Therefore, there can only be one requirement for a film.
Get rid of Miss Tian.

However, this "elimination" is not simple. It involves the core difficulty of this movie incident. If it is not handled properly, it will lead to a lot of trouble, or even the collapse of the entire movie space.

Miss Tian is a unique serial killer crafted from the depths of a corner, fundamentally different from a monster, an anomaly combining 'movie settings'.

To kill her, you must first understand the relevant movie settings.

After the first day of contact and observation, her "immortality" as a serial killer is fundamentally different from mine, and there are triggering conditions:

1. Make physical contact with the target; once contact is made, you can choose to commit suicide.

2. Killed "directly" by the target.

Death under either of the above conditions will activate immortality and mark the target. Moreover, each time it is activated, Miss Tian will become stronger.

To get rid of Miss Tian and complete the movie incident, we must use an indirect, non-contact method, and my hell trap is just the right way to counter her.

However... that would be too simple.

The difficulty level of the movie *Goosebumps* should be variable. I want to see what the highest level of difficulty can be achieved during the first dungeon experience, and also to gain a deeper understanding of dungeons and conduct an experiment.

Roddy stepped out of the driver's seat with a unique smile on his face.

This smile was the expression he would only show when he was hunting down fake people and fighting to the death underground.

Seeing Miss Tian rushing towards them,
Looking at the other person's eager expression, as if they desperately wanted to touch them.

Despite knowing that the killing would lead to even worse consequences, Roddy still struck with his sword.

The machete in his hand had also been modified by hell.
Without even using [Slaughter], I easily cut my opponent in two with a single stroke—it was that simple.

Swish!
Half of his body landed on the car's windshield.
Half of it rolled down into the roadside bushes.

The passenger, Mika, was startled and even screamed. But despite her scream, she immediately turned on the windshield wipers.

The sharp blade immediately sliced ​​the half-body on the windshield into pieces.

The flesh and blood belonging to Miss Tian rapidly dissipated before their very eyes, turning into a blood mist that rose into the sky, causing the entire county to become gloomy and the clouds to thicken.

With a flicker of the screen,
*Crunch crunch* Miss Tian suddenly appeared on the highway.

Compared to before,
She seemed a little large, with a hunched posture, and a happy expression on her face.

"You actually killed me! That's great, now your 'responsibility' towards me has increased even more..."

Miss Tian, ​​who had been running, suddenly began crawling rapidly on the ground. She quickly reached the roof of the car and pounced on Roddy.

He held a syringe in one hand and a dagger in the other.

If I was considered an ordinary person before, I'm probably at the level of a fake person now.

【cut】

Roddy's eyes remained unchanged as he swiftly brought down the knife!
Cut in mid-air.

The body, severed in two, crashed to the ground, the blood mist dissipated, and rain clouds began to appear in the sky, gradually obscuring the sun.

……

Half an hour later,
In what seems like a short period of time, Miss Tian has been killed by Luo Di a total of ten times.

Just as Roddy predicted, killing would trigger the opponent's immortality, causing them to evolve continuously in the process of dying.

Starting from the seventh resurrection
Roddy was having a bit of a hard time.

Ms. Tian also gradually became dehumanized in this process.

1. My hair, which used to be quite thick, now has less than 10% hanging on my head.

2. The white dress and red top are no longer present; only a few tattered pieces of the red top remain, completely exposing the front of her body. Her chest and abdomen have split open from the middle, from which grow deformed, fat, and short arms.

Each hand held a different type of container, such as concentrated sulfuric acid, a Molotov cocktail, or some kind of contact poison.

3. The legs, which were originally turned outwards, have an extra pair of legs that turn inwards from the knees, achieving a strange balance. The four legs can move at super-fast speeds by alternating.

4. His two forearms became as thick as those of an arm wrestler, and you could see the swollen muscles writhing wildly under the skin, as if handsome faces were emerging.

His hands still held the same two items: a dagger and a syringe.

These seemingly ordinary "conventional weapons" have a faint fluorescent white tint on their surface.

Things representing deep-seated fears, or rather, movie rules, were added to it to conform to the "plot development." Being slashed would result in injury, and being stabbed would result in being affected by drugs.

The rain poured down.

Miss Tian rushed over like a madwoman; she was now able to confront Roddy head-on.

Blades clashed, sparks flew. Clang!
A bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid suddenly exploded in her hand.

The splashed liquid landed right on Roddy's palm.
With the amplification of cinematic effects, the strong acid instantly burned several holes, even destroying the internal metal structure.

Bang!

The machete fell to the ground.

Only a few bones remained on Roddy's right hand.

A dagger is swung!

Swish!
Roddy's shoulder and half his face were almost sliced ​​off, and he fell backward from the impact, landing right on the car window.

Meijia was naturally heartbroken, and she also saw the ugly woman approaching step by step.

She decisively unbuckled her seatbelt, revealing the blade-like structure of her elbow, intending to get out of the car to help... However, a bizarre scene unfolded.

A wave of heat swept over them.
A devil horn suddenly grew from Roddy's forehead.

follow closely,

Just as Miss Tian approached and was about to make her move, *whoosh*!
Her body was instantly severed, and even the road surface was torn open with a crack several meters long.

Throughout the entire process, Luo Di didn't make a move at all. He just glanced behind him and an invisible slash appeared out of thin air.

Through the car window,

Roddy's voice came through.

"The warm-up is almost over~ The intensity will increase significantly next, Meijia, you should drive away quickly, at least 500 meters away."

If Ms. Tian or I show any signs of approaching during this time, please continue to move away. In case of emergency, you can press the special button under the steering wheel.

Meijia immediately got into the driver's seat, and before stepping on the gas, she asked worriedly, "Roddy, you won't lose, right?"

"Won't……"

After receiving a definite answer, the car drove away.

at the same time.

An even stranger Miss Tian is taking shape, her bizarre laughter echoing across the empty national highway.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Every time you kill me, I get stronger... Killing both of you is just a matter of time, hehehe!"

"Oh……"

Ashes fell,

The hellish eyes glared at them.

Miss Tian's smile froze completely; a single glance from her shattered it in two.

Resurrected again

He was killed again.

Roddy showed no intention of stopping the killing; in his demonic form, he was about to accelerate.

He wanted to see just how difficult the events in this movie could be.

In just five minutes,
Miss Tian was killed a total of thirty-two times.

She has completely lost her human form, transforming into a bloated, fleshy monster, and has even evolved a biological jet propulsion device that allows her to accelerate at supersonic speeds in a short period of time.

His entire body was covered with various tools used for killing, each one given a "cinematic effect".

Even in his demon form, Roddy began to struggle.

However, Roddy could sense that his opponent was nearing their limit.

The lethality of weapons has stopped increasing, and the evolution of the physical body has not changed significantly since around the 29th time.

click!
Roddy's demon horns were cut off.
His entire body was corroded by acid, in addition to the invasion of various numbing poisons.

Swish!
With a swift motion, Miss Tian severed Roddy's head, held it high in the air, and then fixed her gaze on a car 500 meters away.

Just as she took a step forward,

Snapped!
The sound of footsteps became strange, not like stepping on cement, but like stepping on mud.

In a blink of an eye,
The surrounding area was no longer a national highway, but a muddy grassland.

A vast lake appeared behind her, bathed in moonlight. The head she clutched in her hand had long since decayed and vanished with the wind.

Bottom of the lake.

Jason sat up.

Unlike before,
Instead of surfacing immediately, he took something out of his pocket: a special finger, a finger curled up like a ring.

"I've never had a chance to try this thing since I got it... Now I can finally give it a shot."
