Deep in the Living

Chapter 539 Distant Contact

It may seem like just a simple matter of bending your fingers into a circle,

In reality, there exists a special process inside that Roddy cannot understand, which restricts the essence of this finger to the greatest extent, allowing that chaotic primal fear to be stably output outward.

Through conversations with Mr. Kraft, it was learned that

This finger is essentially equivalent to a qualification, allowing an individual to advance to a higher level after reaching the late stage of plant maturity.

With Mr. Kraft's help, this symbol of qualification was made into a "movie prop" to match Roddy's use.

This allows things that were originally intended for later use to be used normally now.

Because of its preciousness, revealing it might attract various high-level monsters to fight over it, so Roddy has never dared to use it and has basically kept it deep inside his body.

current,

The dungeon space in a solo film is the perfect place to use it; apart from the corners, no one will know what's going on there.

Huff... Take a deep breath.

Compared to dealing with Miss Tian, ​​the [finger] in front of him made Luo Di more nervous, even awestruck.

Even though he had been modified, the moment Roddy saw the finger, he could still recall the terrifying scene of falling into the finger nest, which made his whole body go numb and his pores swell.

But Roddy did not hesitate.
I promptly put the ring on.
Right hand, middle finger.

The moment you put it on,

Buzz! Time stands still.

The bubbles that were rising towards the lake surface stopped moving.
The aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake no longer floated.
The sky above this "Crystal Lake" movie scene appears as if a curtain has been torn open by something.

What followed was the spreading darkness, endless darkness, deathly darkness.

Black filters everything.
Completely cover the scene constructed by Roddy.

Miss Tian on the shore was also covered up and excluded.

Even the so-called dungeon movie space was isolated.

Right now,

Only Roddy exists.

It was as if he were all alone, on a dark island.

Some kind of "contact" is about to occur.

At the top of the pitch-black sky,

A giant hand is hanging limply.

It showed no signs of life, like the arm of a dead person.

It only descended to this position in response to Roddy.

It is said to be "hands"
That's actually a bit of a stretch.

Because the surface of the hand is covered with fingers of various lengths, and even smaller sub-fingers are formed from the fingers.

Like branches forking.

On the back of his hand were also jet-black fingers resembling a cluster of tombstones, standing stiffly upright.

The longest and heaviest finger was slowly descending towards Roddy's location.

Roddy also responded at the same time.
He raised his right arm.

He extended his middle finger.

As soon as their fingertips touch, some unknown connection and transmission will be formed.

but,

There is a distance between Roddy, who is at the bottom of the lake, and the hand that descended from the sky. It will take time to close this distance, and in the time of waiting...

As a human, Luo Di
Roddy, who possesses curiosity

To look beyond this giant hand and peer into the arm behind it, or even beyond the arm and peer into something far deeper.

This is the essence of humanity; it is curiosity that gives rise to civilization.

But sometimes, curiosity isn't necessarily a good thing.

Roddy, casting his gaze into the depths, was immediately "drawn in"—an attraction that wasn't subjective, but objective. Something was pulling at Roddy's eyeballs, compelling him to continue this exploration.

The view extends beyond the giant hand in the sky.
Continuing upwards along the dense network of fingers on the surface of the arm,

After moving his field of vision hundreds or even thousands of meters, Roddy thought he could finally see the body connected to the giant arm.
But... he was wrong!

He was completely wrong!
At the end of the arm was just an even larger hand.

Or, to put it another way, Roddy subjectively believed that the "arm" was actually just a finger connected to a larger palm, and there were many similar structures.

Moreover, behind this even larger hand lies a deeper, larger, and more complex structure.

The only thing that is certain is that

No matter how large these structures are, they are all in a state of death.

Roddy suddenly felt his brain starting to malfunction; even his hellish brain structure became unbearably painful. The amount of information his brain could process was increasing exponentially, as if it were trying to cramm every single brain cell.

It even forced Roddy's brain to begin abnormal proliferation in order to obtain a larger storage capacity.

But he couldn't look away; his gaze, held captive, was still trying to capture more images.

Blood began to flow from Luo Di's seven orifices, and finger-like structures began to grow outward from his cerebral cortex. He felt that he was about to disintegrate and be assimilated into such a finger-like creature.

crucial moment.

The ring worn on the middle finger emitted a wave of thought, instantly severing the gaze and pulling Roddy's consciousness back to the bottom of the lake.

Gray tendrils wrapped around his brain, eliminating the proliferation and bringing about rapid adaptation and cognitive closure, ensuring that his cognition would not disintegrate due to the recent spying.

During the time Roddy was in a daze

The enormous finger at the very tip had reached the top of his head, waiting to make contact.

Without hesitation, Roddy quickly raised his right arm and extended his middle finger.

Fingertip touch.

Ripples spread out.

A faint, tiny, ant-like beam of energy traveled along the giant finger and flowed into Roddy's body.

Luo Di could clearly feel an aura spreading throughout his body and lingering in every cell.

This aura,

It is called divinity.

Unlike the Bible in Blood,
This was Roddy's own divinity, and even if it was only a "trace amount," it had reached the limit he could currently withstand. If it were just a little more, his physical body would immediately disintegrate.

This ring, crafted by Mr. Kraft, is more like a restraint.

Ensure that Roddy, who is in the budding stage, can stably acquire the corresponding divinity behind him.

but,

This encounter, however, made Roddy sense an even stronger sense of danger.

"This finger corresponds to the original body. This enormous being has actually died... A crisis that I cannot reach is approaching. I must grow faster."

hum!
Contact complete.

The giant hand from the unknown dead retracted the sky, and the darkness that had enveloped the movie scene was also taken away.

A notification sound from the corner followed immediately.

<Special Item - [The Lost Finger (Modified)]>
[Type]: Corner God*
[Owner]: Roddy (Black Gate)
[Source]: Special divine essences scattered in various corners and hidden in deep secret places. Humans or monsters who can find and obtain this object are already qualified to use it.

[Purpose]: This object can be used to "upgrade" a pituitary plant when it reaches its final mature state.

【Special*】: This item has been modified by an unknown high-level power. In addition to achieving the effect of divinity, it can also be used as a functional terrorist tool.

Its effects when used as a special terrorist weapon are as follows:

"Divine Gift": Grants an individual a slight divine quality, which will enhance the corresponding corner trait*.

*Enhances the "cinematic" effect of the holder, Roddy, making the domain effect stronger and more realistic. If an individual portrays a related serial killer, they will also gain a higher degree of imitation and cinematic effect enhancement.

If the ability to adapt to films grows and changes, the corresponding divine enhancement will also change accordingly.

"Restraint": The ring itself will constantly restrain the divine effect, keeping it in a "low concentration state" so as not to affect the development of individual plants or cause the situation of forcing growth.

……

"Divinity... enhanced cinematography? Next time I visit Mr. Kraft, I must bring two more cases of Mengniu milk."

[Construction of Torture Devices]

Roddy immediately conjured a butcher's knife using his Hellish abilities, while his left hand gripped a series of thick, curved iron chains.

Jason's disguise also changed accordingly.

The hockey mask had demon horns growing from its forehead.

The canvas work jacket is covered in hellish scorch marks, with ash-like edges.

The bottom of the rubber military boots appears to have lava emerging.

Using his divinity and the asymmetry he had learned from his "mother," Roddy attempted to asymmetrically fuse the two forms, successfully obtaining the initial form of "Hell Jason."

Although it can still be optimized, it is already perfect enough for now.

Lakeside

Miss Tian confirmed that Roddy was at the bottom of the lake by using her marker, but just as she was about to go into the water, she was scalded by the lake water.

The lake water is heating up rapidly and shows signs of boiling.

"It's so hot...what's going on?"

Bang, bang, bang!
suddenly,

An iron chain leaped out of the water.

The hook at the top pierced through Miss Tian's deformed body in an instant, and she immediately grabbed the chain, trying to use it to pull Roddy out.

Who knew!
hum!
A pure force surged along the iron chain; the two forces were on completely different levels, and Miss Tian instantly lost her balance and was pulled towards the bottom of the lake.

deep,

A hellish killer is waiting there.
