Deep in the Living

Chapter 658 Licking
Looking at the intact arm lying on the ground, Roddy initially just watched quietly without much emotional fluctuation.

Instead, he focused more on his right arm, which had just delivered the slash, holding a dinner knife the same color as the moonlight in his hand.

This wasn't a blade constructed by Roddy, but a dinner knife that appeared in his hand on its own when he wanted to kill—a weapon exclusively for Miles.

The slash just now was also different from any of the slashes that Luo Di had performed so far.

It was as smooth and fluid as moonlight gliding across the surface, severing the very fabric of the soul. It wasn't slaughtering or chopping vegetables, but a pure cinematic performance.

It was the result of his close synchronization with Miles.

The brain remembers this feeling.

It must be said that the contract with the bar was really useful; Miles' arrival made the entire chase go exceptionally smoothly... However, the movie only covered the first half of the story regarding Jock.

The second half is yet to come.

Moreover, it was Roddy himself who truly created and seized the opportunity... Jock's state of consciousness was constantly monitored by his tongue, and he was waiting until the very last moment to deliver a precise strike.

Although Michael Miles, who had descended into the body, said nothing, he had a different opinion of this human. Since the matter had been dealt with, he left ahead of time.

hum!
A ringing sound swept through my brain.

The moonlight vanished along with this powerful demonic consciousness, returning to the bar.

The rubber hood and work clothes that Roddy wore faded away, and at the same time, side effects began to appear.

After experiencing two major battles in succession,

On one side is the strongest hellish form, consuming its own spinal cord to slaughter.
On one side is a human-demon consciousness possessing such immense power, subjected to prolonged beatings and opportunities to be seized.
It's a miracle that Roddy can still maintain physical stability.

He looked like he was about to faint.
Snapped!
He took a step forward, clenched his fist, and endured it.

He still had things to do, so at the cost of further straining his spine, he crouched down and reached out to pick up the intact clown arm.

Instead of rushing to put it away, I gently stroked it on my arm... a rare feeling, like acquiring a trophy.

Do not know why,

Roddy's thoughts drifted back to the past, back to when he first arrived at the corner. His first exploration had been met with Jock's attention, and at that time, due to the difference in their ranks, he was powerless to stop him.

nowadays,
He was able to permanently amputate the opponent's arm, completing the first step in the pursuit.

This is what is called growth.

Roddy had never really grasped the concept of "growth" before, but now he was truly savoring the delicious taste of growth.

"He can be killed, this guy really can be killed..."

A perfect iron virgin vessel took the arm in, and Roddy laughed along. With this arm, he was assured of killing Jock.

At that moment, he could no longer hold on, his eyes closed, and his body fell forward.

Just as he was about to fall,

A series of pumpkin vines suddenly grew from the ground, binding him tightly and standing up like a scarecrow.

The end of the vine is inserted into the skin like a needle, and streams of delicious pumpkin juice that promotes recovery are injected into it.

Fran rushed over and carried the scarecrow-like Roddy on his back.

Not only that, he also prepared a warm cup of pumpkin porridge in advance and handed it to Li Beite, which could both restore physical strength and repair some internal injuries.

"All done! With Roddy's physical condition, he should recover quickly~ Li, where do we go now?"

After gulping down the pumpkin porridge, Li Beite looked around. "Roddy and I have been beating this clown for a long time without stopping, yet no monster has come to stop us."

This suggests that the city's "Apostles" will likely remain within their respective buildings and will not venture outside.

This also shows that the clown did not receive special attention, and did not receive the attention it deserved from outside the region.

"The commotion is still too small; this won't achieve our goal... We need to kill more traitors, we need to create a bigger commotion."

Fran, however, had a completely different idea: "Perhaps it's just that we don't get much attention here."

In other parts of the city or in a certain building, someone may have already completely drawn attention to the outside world, which is why they haven't paid attention to us here.

Of course, I'm just guessing! If you, Li, feel you're not getting enough attention, then we'll have to take the initiative and stir things up.

"Go check out Real Death Game... that's Mr. Question Mark's territory, maybe there's something different there."

"Great!"

Just as the two were about to set off, a sticky, damp sensation suddenly came over them.

Gaga~
A strange sound came from Roddy's left palm. Fran quickly put it down and stuck it in the ground like a scarecrow.

A tongue quickly emerged from the palm of the hand.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there? I can't get in touch with Roddy, he's definitely not dead... Hey, is anyone around? Answer me, my tongue can taste voices." "Yes, Professor Gustav."

"It's a sweet voice, Fran! What's going on with Roddy? Give me a brief explanation... or better yet, don't. Just bring your head closer so I can taste your recent memories."

"Oh."

Fran obediently lowered his head and licked it for a while before his tongue trembled slightly.

"This kid is really good at gambling! And this young man named Xiao Xun is such a pity. With such excellent gambling skills, his tongue must have a unique taste."

It seems that Teacher Guo's student selection process needs improvement; such outstanding talents have been overlooked.

Enough with the small talk, Fran. How long do you think you can get him to wake up?

"Is it just waking up, or is it about repairing the body?"

"It's good that you're awake. As for repairing your physical body, my tongue is much more effective than your pumpkin."

“Ignoring Roddy’s physical damage, I can forcibly awaken him… By the way, Professor Gustav, do we need Roddy to come over there now?”

"Anyway, Teacher Guo said that the time is basically ripe, and your operation has successfully attracted the attention of those outside the region... I must say, that head chef worked very hard! No wonder he is a monster that I trained."

Fran also breathed a sigh of relief. The continuous battles and the supply of replenishment had left him somewhat exhausted, and he needed to rest. "Sure enough, someone is doing a better job than us. I'll wake Roddy up right away."

Several sharp vines pierced directly into the back of Roddy's head, making contact with the cerebral cortex and forcibly activating it.

hum!
He should have been resting, but he suddenly opened his eyes, his mind still a complete mess, and he even forgot what he was doing.

His memories slowly returned only when he felt a licking sensation in his palm.

"Xiao Di, quickly find a secluded spot, secretly open your passage, and prepare to come and meet us. The infiltration operation here is about to begin."

"Wait a moment... I still have some information to process. I'll come back once I get it."

"Hurry up!"

When the topic of intelligence came up, Fran immediately understood.

He continued carrying Roddy, quickly returning to the ruins of the casino, and retrieved all the slot machines that were still functional.

Although Li Beite didn't quite understand what was going on, he still followed.

A special gold coin from Xiao Xun was already between his fingers.

……

[Corner Mid-Level Area, Northern Forest Area, Unexplored Area]

The infiltration team members had already arrived and were currently staying in a makeshift wooden hut.

Gusta was lying alone on a chair in the living room, slurring his tongue as if he'd somehow acquired it, when suddenly... a wave of discomfort rose from his throat.

cough!
A violent cough interrupted his slurring.

He quickly used his hands to pry open his upper and lower jaws, exposing his throat as much as possible.

Something seemed to be stuck deep in my throat, slowly wriggling.

Bang!

Roddy, covered in pumpkin slime, finally crawled out, exhausted, and collapsed to the ground.

Roddy was forcibly awakened and followed to the casino to find something, and then, under the cover of Fran's Pumpkin Town, he constructed a passage.

This operation left him with almost no energy left.

Looking at Luo Di, who was on the verge of death on the ground, and at his extremely shrunken spine.

Gustav looked serious, clearly not expecting Roddy to have overdrawn himself to this extent.

Licking the wound

He first licked off the delicious pumpkin juice from Roddy's body, then took off his coat and meticulously licked the special ancient spine, ensuring that every segment of the spine was repaired.

A licking effect beyond conventional treatment quickly took effect, allowing the spine to gradually regain its vitality.

At this time,

The two sisters, who came to the hall after hearing the noise, stared intently at the ground, at the two people lying there.

"Sister Hua, I think I forgot something upstairs. Would you like to come up with me to get it?"

"……Row."
