Deep in the Living

Chapter 606 Facing Death
Jia Wen scored the lowest with 7 points.
The highest scorer, Mr. Question Mark, scored 10 points.
Delicious pumpkin from the Scream Hotel. Fran, with an average score of 8.5, is directly admitted to freshman status without any waiting period.

Fran, who had just been delivered via cesarean section, was covered in digestive fluids and was in a state of utter decay just a moment ago!

But the next second, this decaying body turned into a scarecrow.

Another intact and fragrant Fran body appeared in another location.

"Thank you to all the teachers and classmates, and thank you to Ms. Song Huiwen for sparing my life."

Fran was still very polite, and greeted everyone with a rather gentlemanly gesture.

As for Song Huiwen, without any assistance, her monstrous body began to disintegrate like a sculpture.

click!
The deep-sea rock formations crumbled and disintegrated rapidly.

Her true form curled up on the ground, her height returning to around 190cm.

Compared to her appearance before the competition, she now seems to be closer to a human form.

The mouth was not split open, although it was still filled with sharp teeth, but they were temporarily hidden because the mouth was closed.

Her perfect figure and the aura she exuded immediately captivated Hua Yuan.

At this time,

A cloth robe floated in along with the talisman and automatically wrapped around her body.

Miss Song slowly woke up, and as she stood up, she immediately revealed her sharp teeth, showing her hunched posture.

She didn't look at anyone, but walked back to the stage step by step, stood beside Yu Ze, and stopped talking.

Fran, having directly gained new student status, was also allowed to come to the stage to watch the remaining assessments. He seemed to have come prepared, having stockpiled a sufficient number of gift boxes in the town's spatial storage.

When he went on stage, he presented them one by one to the teachers and students on the stage.

"This is a pumpkin set meal, which includes ready-to-eat pumpkin strips, baked pumpkin slices, and pumpkin candy. All of these are low-sugar processed and will not cause weight gain."

There's also instant pumpkin soup and pumpkin-flavored milk powder.

Another item with the highest positive review rate is the "Pumpkin Night Light".

This thing can be hung above your bed in your home. It will sense when you get up at night and turn on the light. It will also release a pleasant fragrance, which not only eliminates odors but also helps with sleep and digestion.

My friends at the hotel all said it was great!

"Thank you."

The gifts he gave along the way earned him a lot of goodwill.

When he arrived in front of Teacher Guo, he also started an extra conversation: "Fran, you'd like to become a student at this school, right?"

"Yes, I'm willing! I've already spoken with the hotel, and I'll be staying here for a long time."

The landlord is very supportive of this, and the experience has already been shared with them. More monsters may come to the inn later.

"Very good! Thank you for your hard work."

There's one more thing I need to ask you separately: besides becoming a student, are you interested in working in the school cafeteria? The cafeteria isn't open yet, but we can discuss this in more detail later.

They certainly won't be stingy with salaries.

“Great! I want to help out in the cafeteria. That's what I was in charge of when I was at the hotel.”

"Go stand at the back, the next round is about to start."

"Ok."

A rare smile appeared on Teacher Guo's face, but she quickly wiped it away and then announced the list of candidates for the fifth assessment:
"The next new student to be assessed is Fyodor, a slave owner from the City of Sin."

A man with dark skin and devil horns on his forehead walked into the arena.

He held a long whip made of some unknown material in his hand, but what attracted the most attention was what was in his other hand.

A huge red leather bag was dragging on the ground.

After he stepped onto the playground, he did not immediately salute the stage, but instead saluted a blank space in mid-air.

This direction corresponds to the spatial coordinates of the Question Mark House.

Then, looking at the remaining students on the stage, he wondered which one was his examiner.

"The examiner you were assigned is my student, Domo."

When the name was announced, Domo smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief, whispering, "Luckily, two of the last four were mines. I almost stepped on one."

Roddy, you might be about to win the lottery.

"It really is."

Domo adjusted the angle of his glasses, put his hands in his pockets, and walked off the stage.

Luo Di asked curiously, "Class monitor, are these slave owners the kind of monsters in the City of Sin who specialize in selling slaves?"

“Those are called slave traders…slave owners are different. The City of Sin is the place where the trafficking is most serious and where there are the most slaves.”

However, slaves are often not sold, but used to make money. This monster, for example, fought his way up from the bottom of the slave ranks. To obtain the title of "Slave Master," he needs to achieve a hundred kills, at which point he will automatically regain his freedom.

Even if the merchants still want to squeeze every last drop of value out of him, he has the right to kill his original owner directly.

The first thing this person did upon entering the stage was to bow to Mr. Question Mark, presumably because he had received help from him before.

"A 100-man slayer? That's my type, too bad I didn't get him... Who do you think will win?"

"Is that even a question? Domo is the most powerful one on Teacher Guo's side, more powerful than me and more powerful than Song Huiwen... This is a rare monster that is hard to find even if you search every corner."

"Roddy, didn't you experience his ability to transform when you were in the human world?"

"The ability to transform is indeed strange, but I have no way of deducing how strong the original body is."

"Probably a hundred times stronger."

During the conversation, Teacher Guo had already raised her arm high to announce the start of the assessment, and the two people below the stage were standing on both sides of the playground.

A thrilling test is about to begin.

however,
As Mr. Guo's arm fell, it paused slightly, a subtle pause that only the teachers present and a few students could accurately detect.

A light blue crystal floated past Roddy's eyes.

A faint buzzing sound in my ears.

Teacher Guo's arm finally completed the downward movement.

Only the words he spoke changed.

"competition is over."

The slave owner, Fyodor, was bleeding from head to toe, but he didn't know how the blood was flowing out, and he knelt on the ground.

The red leather bag he was carrying was already open, and the slaves he had killed were stuffed inside as spoils of war after being specially processed.

If it were a conventional head-on confrontation,

The slaves inside the red leather bag can be released and used as a unit of control, while the whip in his hand can amplify these slaves.

Unfortunately, it's completely unusable.

In less than three seconds,

He had been killed hundreds of times in his dreams, and a whole year had passed in that time.

The slave owner's blood-soaked eyes stared at the bald young man before him as if he were looking at a monster. He never expected the difference in their abilities to be so vast.

Domo, however, offered some advice with a smile:
"Your body is indeed very powerful, but the servility in your brain has not been completely eradicated, which allows me to find an opportunity to take advantage of you."

You should put more effort into this area in the future, otherwise you'll be at a great disadvantage if you encounter a monster like me again.

Fyodor was speechless and could only nod in response.

He was too ashamed to stay there, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

The teachers still gave scores, with the highest score being 8 points for Gustave, the lowest being 2 points for Mr. Question Mark, and the average score being 4 points.

Only three students remained.

Mia looked at the stage with anticipation, seemingly very likely to have a fight with Roddy and a thrilling interaction between the two murderers.

Unfortunately, the notification that came from Teacher Guo was not for her.

"The next new student to be assessed is Yu Lu, the executioner from the [Sororium]."

Death permeated the air.

This time, Yu Lu did not hang from a rope, but walked barefoot into the playground. The grass in the area where her feet touched had all withered.

His deathly gaze was fixed on the stage.

"The examiner in charge of this session is my student, Roddy."

Wu Wen then slapped Luo Di hard on the back, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go, you've won the lottery!"

Hua Yuan burst out laughing, though she herself was also sweating bullets, having almost faced death. She also offered her blessings to Luo Di:
"Sister Yu is one of Grandmother's favorite sisters, and she's the professional at cleaning up clutter in the sorority! She's just one step away from being as good as the teachers."

It should have gotten much stronger during this period; it's probably just missing a thin film.

It's okay, you two know each other anyway, and you're on good terms.

At most, Sister Yu will leave you half-dead, but not truly dead.

Tonight, Wu Wen and I will give your body a good treatment, and try our best to save what's most important to you.

Roddy didn't respond. Instead, he took a deep breath and walked towards the playground. His expression seemed relaxed, but his mind was racing, searching for the best way to fight death.

A bead of cold sweat was sliding down his temple.
