Deep in the Living

Chapter 597 Questions
Because new students need to undergo preliminary screening in the classroom beforehand.
Luo Di and the other senior students only need to arrive at school before nine o'clock.

As Roddy walked along the road, munching on bread, his thoughts remained mostly on the bathtub room from before, or rather, on the two mature plants.

Wu Wen's plants approach pure perfection; while Luo Di may not reach that level, his overall composition can serve as a reference.

The plants in Flower Abyss are clearly influenced by external factors and may deviate from their natural course, but they can still be used as a reference. After all, Roddy's own plants have also been affected by external factors, and the Hell system has long been integrated into them.

His "Victim's Bud" is more hellish in terms of hardness, temperature, and texture.

suddenly,

Luo Di caught a faint scent, immediately pulling him back to reality.

Before he knew it, he was standing at the school gate, and the smell was coming from inside.

Although the scent was diluted and very weak, even making Roddy doubt whether he was smelling something wrong, the twitching sensation in his spine was enough to pinpoint the source of the aroma.

"How is this possible? Why would that guy come here? Why would he dare to come here?"

Wu Wen also sniffed the air, but couldn't smell anything. After all, she wasn't sensitive to that smell. "The school is isolated from the outside world. How could you smell it? Who is it?"

"A meat-eating household."

"what?"

Even Wu Wen experienced a brief mental lapse. According to Luo Di's description, the Carnivorous Family was assisting extraterrestrial forces and was caught red-handed by Teacher Gustav.

I really can't understand why they would dare to register here.

What makes Vortex Town special is that the organization was established specifically to counter invasions from outside the region; it is a backup measure left over from a dead corner.

Why would someone who has assisted those outside the region dare to come here, and why was Teacher Guo allowed to enter? Moreover, why isn't he dead yet?

Hua Yuan had already begun her warm-up exercises, licking her lips with her tongue. "Are we going to make a move later, Luo Di?"

"No rush. If the teachers haven't taken action yet, let's observe the situation first."

"Too."

The three walked towards the school playground, where 36 different types of monsters had already gathered. Roddy immediately spotted several familiar faces.

One of them was Yulu, the executioner of the sorority and one of the grandmother's most powerful henchmen.

The pose remains the same as before: ropes around the neck, feet dangling in the air.

One of them is Mia, one of the Eight Villains who had worked closely with Roddy and who also chose the Black Gate Killer.

The middle-aged man standing next to Mia was none other than the one who had sent a shiver down Roddy's spine—the one who had almost killed him a while ago: [Hunter, the House of Carnivores].

However, Roddy immediately noticed the change and difference in this person... even though it had only been less than a week since he was ambushed.

"The meaty smell has decreased a lot, and he seems to have lost a lot of weight."

The strangest thing is that the aggressiveness that came from devouring flesh has disappeared? When he attacked me, just standing in front of him made me feel like I had already been swallowed up.

Disguise? No, that doesn't make sense. His appearance and abilities haven't changed; his true form is immediately recognizable.

Wu Wen immediately conducted a disguise test and provided the results:

"It's not an act; this guy has indeed changed a lot, at least he's completely different from the guy who was involved in the videotape incident."

It seems the situation was a bit complicated. After Roddy was rescued by the tongue, Gustave left a significant psychological scar on this villain, altering his mindset.

"I'll ask Gustav later."

Just as the three of them were about to enter the playground area, Mr. Question Mark suddenly appeared, placing three hands on their shoulders.

"Wait until everyone else has arrived before you follow me inside. You can all line up in one row for now! Since this is an assessment, there need to be rules for it."

"Ok."

Roddy subconsciously moved away from Mr. Question Mark and planned to stand behind the two girls.

But just as he pretended to line up in a normal queue, Mr. Question Mark waved him over and said, "Roddy, you lead the way, stand first."

"Row."

Just as Roddy obeyed Mr. Question Mark's request and stood in the first position... Buzz! His mind was directly stripped away, and he arrived at an interrogation room covered with question mark drawings.

The square table is placed in the center.

The interrogation room has a symmetrical structure with light and shadow.

Roddy stood on the side of the light, while Mr. Question Mark was in the darkness, with only his two hands reaching out from the darkness and resting on the table.

The two sat facing each other and began a special interrogation.

“It will take a few minutes before the other students arrive. I need to talk to you, Roddy.”

"About the tongue?"

"Good question. You're not pretending to be confused. I like people who don't waste time."

When you participated in the Death Challenge, I specially sealed it for you and also warned you about the tongue.

Why choose to erase the question mark? And why actively approach this guy? I believe that even if you ask your grandmother or the people of the Invisible Manor, their opinion of the tongue probably won't be very good, right?

You should know his true nature better than I do.

I personally think highly of you. I've been very busy lately and haven't had a chance to talk to you about this. Since you arrived early today, I just wanted to ask.

Roddy stared at the darkness on the opposite side of the table, all his senses denied by some kind of rule. It seemed that in the depths of that darkness, Mr. Question Mark wasn't wearing a mask; his true form was there.

"Mr. Question Mark, are you unaware that I'm wanted by an extraterritorial entity?"

"wanted?"

Mr. Question Mark quickly caught sight of Roddy's brand-new, jet-black metallic fiber arm, and his brain instantly connected all the information. "So that's how it is. It seems I misunderstood you... I thought you were deliberately siding with Gustav, believing me to be a heinous villain."

Sorry, sorry~ I look forward to seeing your excellent performance today.

By the way, who wanted to kill you? Given my personal unreasonable behavior, I'm willing to help you privately this once.

"Is there any paper?"

As Roddy inquired,
In the darkness, a third hand reached out, bringing with it paper and a pen.

Instead of using a pencil, Roddy quickly drew a figure on a white sheet of paper by spraying ink from his tentacles. The figure was covered in white paint, but its brain was shrouded in mist.

"Did this person participate in the [Death Challenge] with you, but was eliminated halfway through...? According to your description, he seems to have changed a bit."

"Yes."

"Has the corner been betrayed?"

"Teacher Guo's first two students were killed by him."

"interesting."

"Mr. Question Mark, could you please help me find his exact location? I want to handle this myself."

"No problem, I'll arrange for the company to investigate... Since that's the case, Teacher Guo must be investigating as well, so maybe I can do him a favor."

"Thank you so much."

hum!
The interrogation room disappeared.
When Roddy returned to reality, everyone behind him had already arrived.

Everyone entered the venue led by Mr. Question Mark.
The freshmen groups who had been waiting inside the playground naturally looked over as well, but the Carnivore's House did not turn their gaze away and simply looked straight ahead.

"Rodi!"

Mia spotted Roddy immediately and wished she could run over right then and there.

Having not seen each other for some time, she still missed this colleague somewhat. At least among the other serial killers she had encountered, most were utterly useless.

Memories of the videotape incident also frequently appear in her dreams.

However, when she called out the name, she felt an uneasy gaze upon her.

Turning my head to look,

The woman hanging in the air was staring at her with her eyes rolled back.

……

Luo Di could only respond awkwardly, as his shout drew a lot of attention to him, and Wu Wen smiled and stayed close behind him.

quickly,

The eight of them took their positions on the playground, slightly separated from the freshmen, and lined up longitudinally.

Roddy turned to look at the people coming from behind, confirming that everyone was in good condition.

Especially Li Beite, whose once frail body now appears remarkably energetic, has begun to rotate his neck and loosen his muscles.

"What's wrong with Yu Ze?"

Luo Di suddenly noticed that Yu Ze was actually standing at the very back.

Dark circles under his eyes looked like they were branded around his eye sockets, and there was even a corpse-driving talisman stuck between his eyebrows. Of course, he was still sleeping.

His target was Ms. Song Huiwen, whose mouth could split open to her ears.

Do not know why,

When Luo Di looked at Yu Ze, his tongue curled slightly, and a dangerous aura seemed to be conveyed through his gaze.

"Stop looking around, the entrance exam is about to begin!"

After being reminded by Mr. Question Mark, they walked towards the stage that had been set up in advance at the edge of the playground.

On the other side, Maximus, who was in charge of leading the new students, also wheeled his wheelchair toward the stage.

However, the edge of the stage has a stepped structure, making it difficult for wheelchairs to get on.

Just then, a pure white figure suddenly arrived. The original zombie, Javin, actually carried Maximus's wheelchair and escorted him onto the stage.

He didn't seem to care about getting into trouble; it was just a matter of helping a colleague.

however,
While Jia Wen was helping to move the wheelchair... *smack!*
Something fell over and landed next to Mr. Question Mark.

It's a tongue!
The tongue quickly began to proliferate and develop, taking on the shape of Gustave in less than a second.

His arm was pressed tightly against Mr. Question Mark's, the touch feeling like a lick.

Gustave was completely oblivious to the Carnivorous House below the stage; he was focused entirely on Mr. Question Mark, just as he was about to take another step forward.

Snapped!
A snap of the fingers,
Gustav suddenly noticed that the individual next to him had become stiff and smelly, and Mr. Question Mark had turned into Javin.

"Hey! Old man!"

Mr. Question Mark's voice came through Jia Wen, "Gusta, behave yourself! This freshman assessment was carefully prepared by Teacher Guo and me, don't cause trouble."

Give me your tongue, and I'll stop!

During the bickering between the two, a large number of arms appeared on the other side of the stage, and the grandmother's tall figure gradually emerged.

At last,
A vortex appeared, and Teacher Guo, dressed in a standard Zhongshan suit, stood in the very center, holding a microphone in his hand.

"Welcome to Whirlpool Town, new students! Your entrance exams are about to begin!"
