Deep in the Living

Chapter 673 Invitation

After the party ended, everyone went home to sleep, feeling exhausted. Most people would probably sleep for 1 to 3 days to recover.

Mr. Question Mark rushed back to the City of Sin immediately, as he needed to inject the virus into a suitable carrier and then cultivate it precisely.

After all, Jia Wen is essentially "completely dead." Although viral particles are still present, the entire infection and cultivation process needs to be treated with caution.

However, Mr. Question Mark will not be responsible for the reconstruction of the City of Sin, and he will even completely delegate the company authority of the Real Death Game to others to manage.

He will devote himself entirely to Whirlpool Town, focusing on his own development and student education, on extraterrestrial deities, and on games beyond the corners of the world.

During his time in the infected hole, he not only completed a deep decryption, but his mindset also changed, and he saw more things.

……

The interior of the villa.

There are still only two people in the master bedroom tonight.

After the group photo, Hua Yuan returned to the sorority and even took the initiative to talk to Teacher Guo about the comic book store in the middle of the night. As a special comic book holder, she had to make good use of this opportunity.

Roddy fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed. He was the only member who had been running back and forth during the operation, never stopping from beginning to end. After returning, he was even busier with other tasks.

however,
He didn't sleep for long; his biological clock, which he had maintained since human times, woke him up just after six in the morning.

Even though my brain is still a little tired, my hellish body has been basically repaired.

Without disturbing Wu Wen, who was still fast asleep, Luo Di went to the bathroom alone to wash away the barbecue smell that still clung to his body.

"Go for a morning run and think about how to handle things."

Little did he know that as Roddy dried his hair and walked out of the bathroom, a familiar fragrance wafted into his nostrils—the smell of noodles, the kind from his hometown.

Wu Wen cooked two bowls of beef noodles in the kitchen and brought them into the house.

There's not much to say. Luo Di, who barely ate anything last night, is finally satisfied and lies down on the chair, putting his morning run on hold for now.

Wu Wen placed her hands on the table, rested her head on it, and stared at the young man who had finished all the soup with her dark eyes.

"Roddy, tell me about your situation."

If we want to locate the clown, several teachers should be able to help, and even Teacher Guo could directly communicate with the comic book store to get them to hand over the character. However, this would likely come at a considerable cost, since that clown should fit the comic book quite well.

Roddy didn't respond verbally, but suddenly activated his Hell powers.

A uniquely shaped iron virgin container appeared directly on the table, still steaming.

“Squad leader, I forgot to tell you about this… I, Liberty, and Fran encountered Jock in the City of Sin. Although he managed to escape, he paid the price.”

The Iron Maiden was activated, revealing a complete arm, still connected to part of the shoulder flesh.

"What I want to ask is, if I had this complete arm, including the soul, would I have some kind of advantage? Or could I directly locate him through this arm that belongs to him?"

Looking at the completely severed arm, Wu Wen suddenly laughed, a laugh of immense joy.

"Haha~ So you've already won! I was just saying we should work together to find out where they are."

That makes things very simple.

Having such a complete arm in your hands means that, Roddy, you hold absolute power.

With a broken soul, a person is essentially ruined and unlikely to progress further. To put it bluntly, the reason your new weapon from hell was discarded by your predecessor isn't because it's lost its sharpness, but because it's incapable of growth.

For any life form, regardless of its developmental system, once the soul is no longer complete, the development of that system will cease.

A fragmented soul cannot achieve the most basic cycle.

Moreover, the soul of this arm remains "intact," meaning that the clown simply cannot reconstruct the soul.

He must take the arm back from you, or find a way to destroy it, so that the essence of the soul can return to the world, before it can be repaired.

Roddy, you can leave your arm here and continue to grow and develop until your plants form a garden as beautiful as your teachers', until your hellish system becomes a kingdom.

Then I can crush him as easily as squashing an ant.

During this period, he could only suffer endless internal strife and mental anguish, unable to do anything.

Luo Di was somewhat surprised, not expecting that having one of the other's complete arms would give him such a significant advantage, but he did not accept Wu Wen's suggestion.

"No... that guy is still very capable."

Mr. Hunter, as one of the Eight Evils, managed to reach this point, on par with the teachers. Jock, also one of the Eight Evils, and the ultimate beneficiary of the videotape incident, must also possess considerable ability.

Moreover, he was selected by the comic book store, which suggests that the Outer God behind the scenes may also value him highly.

Given time, perhaps he can come up with another way to mend his soul.

Since we have this advantage, we must seize it now and deal with this matter quickly... Besides, I'm already prepared and don't want to wait any longer. Squad leader, from your perspective, Jock should really want this arm right now, right?
I'm wondering if I could choose a specific location and handle this myself. Using my arm as bait, and making sure I'm alone, would he come?

"If it were me, I would definitely come~ This is the only chance to return to being whole."

Luo Di thought for a moment and said, "When we were fighting against the Outer Gods before, Teacher Guo had another plan to fail."

If he fails, he will have all the teachers and students of Vortex Town hide on the human side, with his main body going there directly, rather than his avatar descending.

I'm thinking... is it possible to send Jock's real body over?

I need to take care of some business there.

“Oh…” Wu Wen immediately understood what he meant. “Generally speaking, monsters are not allowed to go to the human world. This is a rule set by Corner.”

As the leader of Whirlpool Town, Teacher Guo possesses certain privileges, which may allow the townspeople to travel to the human world. However, there must be certain limitations to these privileges.

You need to ask Teacher Guo about this in person.

"Row."

Wu Wen frowned. "Are you really planning to resolve this over there? If the two of you have a conflict, I don't know how many innocent people will be affected."

Roddy's gaze, however, was unusually firm.

"Since the initiative is entirely in my hands, I will set relevant rules in advance to ensure that no one is affected."

"Okay~ Let's go find Teacher Guo together. I'll also participate in this, just as an observer, is that alright?"

"I was planning to invite you anyway; this should be a pretty good movie about a serial killer."

……

Sin City

There seems to be a comic book store located in a deep, seemingly bottomless alley.

The glass door, covered in posters, suddenly opened from the inside, and a swollen foot stepped out.

This corresponds to a man wearing a baseball cap and an oversized hooded sweatshirt. One sleeve is fluttering in the air, empty.

His face was contorted, and he seemed to be cursing something.

Suddenly, a monster over four meters tall, covered in fangs, appeared in the alleyway. This was currently an unmonitored area, and it intended to devour the crippled fat pig and seize all its belongings.

The enormous mouth took a bite, and snap... it bit through nothing!

For some unknown reason, his own head began to float upwards, separating his head from his body.

Intracranial pressure increases dramatically, and the entire head is being rapidly inflated.

Snapped!
There was a loud noise,
Skull fracture

Purple blood splattered down.

The headless body also fell to the ground, where it was dried into a desiccated corpse by the mist.

just,

Even though he easily took the life of a monster, Jock still looked worried.

As Wu Wen said, Qiao Ke's current condition is extremely bad. Because of his broken soul, he can only seek help from the comic book store, but he gets no results. He can only find a way on his own.

Just as Jock was about to walk out of the alley,
Something else attacked from behind.

He was already extremely irritable, and the mist quickly spread behind him, intending to inflate the other person's body, just like before.

Just as the fog entangled the other party, they unexpectedly captured a mark... a question mark.

He was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he prepared to use his most secret method to escape.

Little did I know,
The person behind me had already arrived in front of me.

It wasn't Mr. Question Mark, but a company employee whose face was branded with a question mark.

The other party showed no hostility and instead sent over an invitation.

"Dear Mr. Jock:

Given that you are a former member of the Eight Villains and a comic book owner, we cordially invite you to join the Whirlpool Town community.

As a gift, we will consider returning the arm.

—?
