Deep in the Living

Chapter 633 Experiment
If you hear insects chirping during a nighttime outing, try to leave the area or go to a well-sealed house. Only call the investigation bureau once you have confirmed that the environment is sealed off or that there are no suspicious persons around.

—Pluto City Bureau of Investigation≯

These photocopies are posted everywhere in the urban village, showing that the investigation bureau takes it very seriously.

However, such notices also increase the difficulty of solving the case.

After 7 p.m., no one goes out in this area. Moreover, residents with a little money will move out immediately, since most people just rent rooms here.

With no one out at night and the frequency of fake people appearing virtually zero, the Bureau of Investigation found it difficult to advance its work.

But tonight is different.

A young couple came to this urban village. They looked like tourists from other cities, but because they didn't have enough money, they were forced to come here to find a cheap hotel.

Fortunately, they didn't hear any insect chirping and were able to find a cheap hotel to stay in.

Late at night,

When you need to get things done, you find that you've run out of the most important items. And these are extraordinary times; you can't get anything done without them.

No food delivery services are accepting orders from this area.

Even though going out so late would be dangerous, his lower nervous system prevailed over his upper nervous system, and while his girlfriend was taking a shower, the young man rushed downstairs as fast as he could.

The innkeeper was already asleep, and the main door was locked.

The young man was very determined. He found a window and climbed out. He was determined to buy something that night, and no one could stop him.

Even in urban villages and surrounding neighborhoods, shops do not open at night.
The young man found a shared bicycle and rode it all the way out of the urban village, finally buying what he wanted at a 24-hour convenience store six kilometers away.

Just as he was enthusiastically riding his bike back, preparing to go back and have a good fight...

A chirping sound of insects came from the sky.
The sound was louder and clearer than the chirping of ordinary insects, directly pulling the young man out of his colorful fantasy.

He subconsciously remembered the danger notices posted in the area and wanted to speed up his ride, but curiosity made him look back at the source of the insect chirping.

however,
There was nothing scary about it.

It was just a telephone pole standing on a pile of weeds.

Just as the young man thought it was just ordinary insect chirping and turned around to ride back to the hotel, he saw something.

About ten meters ahead, at the narrow intersection of the urban village, a person was already standing.

A woman wearing a white nightgown,
Her blonde hair covered most of her face.
One foot was still wearing a high heel, but the heel was already broken.

Her other foot was only stepping on worn stockings, which were stained with blood.

You could even see some signs of decay on her drooping arms, with several flies gnawing on the rotting flesh.

Anyone could tell that something was wrong with the woman, and the young man reacted quickly, decisively turning the car around and planning to take a detour back to the hotel.

But every time he passed an intersection, he would hear insects chirping.

As long as you hear this sound,
The woman in white will appear in front of you.

He continued until he was completely exhausted, his legs on the pedals began to tremble slightly, and his breathing gradually became difficult.

He had to stop temporarily, take out his phone, and try to call the investigation bureau.

however,
While his attention was focused on his phone.

Squeak! The sound of insects chirping came from the sky.

With their heads bowed low, their field of vision is limited.

Besides the phone screen, he also saw two feet standing next to the bicycle, one wearing a shoe and the other not.

Because of the shift in vision, the other party has already come right in front of you.

The young man was so frightened that he trembled all over and could even smell a foul odor.

Trembling fingers could no longer complete the simplest dialing; driven by fear, the subconscious mind compelled the body to see the threat before it clearly.

When he saw the woman standing right in front of him...

Click click click~
Strange sounds accompanied by unforgettable images.
The woman's head is slowly rising.
A living creature with a human head and a centipede-like body appears.

Snapped!
The insect's body was pulled away, and the woman's torso lay on the ground, rotting and stinking.

This is a worm-like pseudo-human that inhabits a human head.

He intends to possess the young man's body, acquire his memories, and live there for a period of time.

hum!
The scythe-like appendages slashed towards the neck, like a giant pair of scissors, easily severing the head.

The latter sensed the threat of death and desperately tried to stop it. Unexpectedly, the young man reached out and grabbed the insect's torso.

Swish!
The sharp blade slid across.

Logically, the head should have fallen off.

At this point, the insect will abandon its previous head and make the young man's head its new home.

It was then reinstalled into his body and continued to live there until the flesh began to rot and stink. But...

The situation is different.

The young man's head did not fall off, and the surrounding scenery changed as well.

Somehow,
They actually arrived at the hotel downstairs. The young man, having escaped, was currently running upstairs in a state of wetting his pants.

Squeak!

The fake man immediately gave chase; his insect-like body allowed him to crawl quickly across the wall.

Using the blonde woman's head that it had previously occupied as a reference, it gave chase.

Although he couldn't figure out how the other person got back to the hotel, the goal was right in front of him, and he would soon be able to achieve the physical exchange.

The young man fled to the door of his guest room.
His trembling hands, trembling with panic, couldn't insert the key, so he could only knock on the door, hoping his girlfriend could open it for him.

Unfortunately,

A slight itch came from the back of his neck, and the blonde woman's head was hanging down behind him.

Swish! A sharp blade cuts through.

Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly swung his arm and touched the insect's body with his palm again.

hum!
Somehow, they found themselves inside the guest room, even though the door was still closed.

The young man immediately hid in the bathroom. His girlfriend, who was taking a shower, could only wrap herself in a towel. After a brief exchange, she learned that the fake man was inside the house.

The young man held the broken metal clothesline in his hand.
My girlfriend was too flustered and just grabbed a bottle of shampoo from random hands.

Swish!
The bathroom door was cut off.

Insect-like pseudo-humans crawled in.
Before the young man could even make a move, his girlfriend was so frightened that she threw the shampoo she was holding away.

Seeing the flying sculpture, the fake man didn't even try to dodge... or rather, he was immediately attracted by the woman's appearance, changed his target, and even decided to lay eggs.

next second.

Snapped!
Green juice splattered.

His torso was smashed directly by the plastic bottle, and foul-smelling liquid spilled all over the ground.

"Goal!"

His girlfriend shouted excitedly when she saw this.

The young man looked helpless, showing no trace of his earlier panic. "Are we not going to play anymore, class monitor?"

I'm also planning to try the so-called "passage" again. After all, after searching around the area, this is the only fake person active. The security in Hades City has improved quite a bit.

Or is it that the influence of these hidden corners on the human world has diminished?

"Now that we've confirmed 'short-distance teleportation' is possible, that's enough. We can discuss creating deeper tunnels when we get back to school… Mr. Hawke is truly a genius; he even came up with this idea."

"alright."

Even while wetting his pants, Luo Di was earnestly discussing his arm with Wu Wen.

The insect-shaped android that had fallen to the ground and was trying to heal itself was completely dumbfounded and couldn't understand what was going on.

He had clashed with investigators before, but it was definitely not the case that throwing a plastic bottle could crush his body.

Just as he was about to heal,

The young man squatted down in front of him.
"His strength is average; compared to fake people, he doesn't even reach the baseline of the Sisterhood."

You might be able to advance through the most basic gaps, but even if you really go to the corners, you'll only face certain death.

The blonde girl you're inhabiting looks to be only eighteen years old, or even younger.

Damn it, you…

"Who exactly are you?!"

In the past, Roddy would never have spoken to such low-class people; the murderer needed no further explanation.

But for some reason, he wanted to show off today.
He wanted to show this pseudo-human, who lived in human society, thought he could evade the investigators, and thought he could trample humans underfoot, a special scene.

Gaga~
Tentacles enter the brain,

Roddy shared all his experiences over the past few years, including the monsters he had killed, the beings he had encountered, and the depths he had explored.

When the fake human's pupils contracted to their extreme, revealing an indescribable look of terror, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled violently.

Cut it off with one knife.

For some reason, Roddy felt a sense of satisfaction, but it quickly faded away.

It was as if something that had been accumulating for a long time had suddenly been emptied from his body. He, who had been somewhat anxious, became calm, normal, and unusually determined.
