Deep in the Living

Chapter 608 He is coming

【Pituitary Space - Gray Moon】

A noticeable crack appeared on the surface of the moon.
The dungeon structure formed by the planters became unstable, and a sense of death began to seep out from the cracks in the walls.

These "victims," ​​imprisoned inside the dungeon and symbolizing the slaughter by Roddy, began to stir restlessly.

The overflowing death broke their locks and began to erode their bodies.

The victims left their cells in groups, but instead of escaping, they all headed towards the plant cultivation area.

Since death is inevitable in the end, it's better to be buried in peace.

The mere process of arriving at the cultivation room caused the victims to become rotten and their bones to stand bare; the effects of death had completely permeated the area.

Before they could move their bodies, they buried themselves in the soil, seeking peace.

As all the victims buried themselves,

The victim's bud growing in the center of the soil was also struggling to survive, and death followed suit, causing the leaves to wither and the flowers to fade.

The plant's roots immediately penetrated the victim's body, drawing as much nutrition as possible.

Even so, it was merely the last gasp of a spent force, only buying a little more time; death itself was irreversible.

but,

Driven by the plant's strong will to survive, it rapidly absorbed the nutrients from its victims and, before dying, began to grow again.

The strangest thing is that something seems to be growing on the surface of the branches, something round.

……

The playground, eroded by death, has been turned into wasteland.

Roddy fell here.
Unlike decapitation, this is a conceptual killing; the moment the head and body are separated, it means that the person is dead.

This body, which had undergone countless hours of rigorous training, was reduced to a skeleton and a separate metal arm in less than two seconds.

If it weren't for the metallic elements inside the bones and the support from the old spine, it would probably have already turned to ashes.

The head rolled to the ground not far away.

Some areas have already turned into a skeletal state, but the head is still holding on due to strange changes occurring inside the pituitary gland.

This time, unlike the previous ambushes, it wasn't just a matter of being seriously injured; true death was approaching.

The weird thing is,
According to school regulations, if there is any possibility of injury or death during the final assessment, the teachers should take immediate action.

But no one is coming to intervene.

However, not all the teachers remained standing still.

Seeing Luo Di slowly dying, the grandmother was the first to lose her temper and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Teacher Guo.

At the same time,

Gusta wanted to quickly retrieve the head and lick it to erase the effects of death.

Just as he was about to step off the stage, a question mark door suddenly opened behind him, and a hand landed on his shoulder, stopping him from doing so.

Mr. Question's voice came from behind: "This is the student who chose your tongue. Don't you even understand your own student?"

Who knew... *buzz!*

Gusta made a super-instantaneous move that no one in the audience could see, and in the blink of an eye, half a tongue appeared in his hand.

A sneer clung to his face as he turned and stared at the tongueless Mr. Question Mark: "I knew you would stop me, that's why I did it on purpose. You didn't even think of that, did you?"

La la la~ I'm so happy!

The weird thing is,
This time, Mr. Question Mark wasn't angry; he simply took it as a way of getting rid of Gustave. From then on, he no longer needed to stay in the Question Mark House and could stand here to observe the assessment more directly.

He wanted to see just how far Roddy, who had previously won the championship, could go.

the other side,
Gusta, who should have started sucking his tongue, actually suppressed his instincts and first preserved his tongue by storing it away.

He has no appetite for the time being.

His attention was more focused on Roddy, on this young man who was interested in tongues.

suddenly,

Gustav discovered that Roddy's remaining mutilated head had opened its mouth, as if trying to stick out its tongue.

"Hmm? This guy, Roddy... is still using his tongue. In this situation, he wants to break through by relying on his tongue's perception? That's impossible."

While you are quite adept at using your tongue, it's not enough to be the final piece. If you want to become the "fruit," you'll need to learn from me for at least three more months.

What are you going to do, Roddy? He's about to die.

The tongue did show some improvement after this period of special training; it was not immediately consumed by death.

With blood in his mouth,
The tip of his tongue began to draw intricate patterns on his forehead.

"This is?"

Gustav immediately recognized the pattern and guessed what Roddy was up to.

He quickly raised his hand towards Teacher Guo to indicate, "Um... I suddenly need to go to the toilet. You guys keep an eye on things, I'll be right back."

Seeing that Teacher Guo did not respond, Gustav covered his lower body and ran away.

……

Pluto City, Fifth Hospital.

With the collaboration of Hawke and Oculus,
Roddy's [Hell Body] was moved from the Chaos Nest to the Torture Chamber, and then to the Fifth Hospital.

However, Roddy's consciousness was not in this body; even if it were transferred, it would still be an unclaimed body.

Logically speaking, this body shouldn't be able to move, but surprisingly, it stood up as soon as it arrived at the Fifth Hospital, as if sensing something and wanting to move. "Let's go... it should still be in time. I wonder if this body can move normally here."

Hawke did not impose any restrictions and gently patted Roddy on the shoulder.

Strangely, the body did not leave immediately, but instead reached out as if it needed something.

Hawke seemed to sense something and handed over an ordinary machete that was kept as a spare in the dean's room.

Bah!
A figure sprinted out of the Fifth Hospital, bypassing the largest area where the three of them could move, and ran directly onto the highway.

The Capital Investigation Bureau quickly received intelligence that strange creatures were rapidly approaching the capital, and also obtained images captured by high-speed cameras.

The director decisively contacted the World Bureau, and after a brief online meeting of less than a minute, a green channel was opened directly.

With the cooperation of several investigators, this unconscious, instinct-driven, non-human body was transported to the "corner."

call……

As the body reached the corner, a breath of ash emanated from its mouth, indicating that the high-speed journey had consumed a lot of its energy.

Without pausing,

Following that inexplicable feeling, I continued running towards a certain direction in the corner.

This time, however, it was different.

Before he could run two steps, he stepped on something slippery and fell flat on his face! This fall was not a big deal; when he looked up, he was no longer in the shallow corner.

Instead, it's a city covered in swirling ashes.

"Hey! Whose kid is this... didn't you see I'm relieving myself here?"

Gusta quickly turned his body away, made a disdainful expression, shook his lower body, and then immediately followed behind the boy.

……

On the playground,

Yu Lu stared at Luo Di, who was gradually dying on the ground.
Deep down, she wanted to step forward and help, to erase the death from Roddy's body.

That way, the other party can still be saved.
In this way, they could still hang themselves together, chat together, and hang on each other's backs, just like before, feeling that rare warmth.

but,

Every time she wanted to take action, she would recall the scene of Roddy grabbing her by the neck and slashing her with a knife.

The determination revealed in his eyes, and the emotions he conveyed.

He hoped that Yulu would not show any mercy and that the goal was to kill him.

"Roddy, what are you trying to do... In five seconds, you're really going to die."

5,

4,

3,

2,

......"

Yu Lu couldn't hold back any longer, and she was about to step forward when...

A wave of heat swept over us.

Something arrived beside Roddy's head faster than her, and with a swift movement, plunged the knife into the dying skull, delivering the final blow.

Behead.

Roddy's human form was killed at the last second.
She was made her own victim and sent to a lunar dungeon.

The consciousness of the original being also transferred.

Huff... A mouthful of ash was exhaled between the metal chin and the fleshy palate.

Her gray hair fluttered in the cold wind.

The young man from hell gradually regained his clarity.

at the same time,

Deep within the lunar dungeon,
Luo Di's human form also buried itself in the soil, becoming nutrients for this plant.

The cracks in the moon have been filled with hellish lava.

On the withering branches of the plant, fruits shaped like human heads were produced, and these fruits were caught by palm-shaped flowers, while other flowers caught cleaver-shaped leaves.

Lines of scorch marks from hell appeared on the plant's trunk.

Right now,

All integrated,

A complete plant with a special structure has been formed.

On the playground,

Gray-haired Roddy remained upright.

The tongue licked between the metal jaws.
He was carrying a blood-stained ordinary machete in one hand.

He held his own severed head, which he had just pierced, in one hand.

He opened his pure black demonic eyes and stared at Yu Lu, who was hanging between ropes.

The weird thing is,
His vision was barely focused; he saw not only Yu Lu, but also the outline of a kingdom that seemed to belong to him alone.
