Deep in the Living

Chapter 692 Freshmen
"The agreement I signed with the bar was only for external use, but I didn't expect them to actually comply. I'll definitely go and thank them properly when I have the chance to visit some of the more secluded spots in the future."

"But it's a bit of a shame that we won't need it this time."

As Rodina raised his hand high into the air, his left hand, which was used for the connection, underwent a subtle "transformation." The skin on his palm turned into a charred state, and the space touched by his fingers was shimmering with iridescent light.

Roddy had experienced this feeling before, precisely when he was in contact with Domo; it was a dreamlike sensation.

However, since it's no longer needed, this feeling gradually dissipated as the passage closed, and the tactile sensation that could tear apart the barrier between dreams and reality vanished with the wind.

"Miss Song, how is Yu Ze?"

Just as Luo Di uttered the question, Song Huiwen, who had completely transformed into a monster, choked on several straws and coughed up several pieces of straw.

at the same time,

In a dark corner of the room, a talisman fell to the ground. Yu Ze, who had been hiding in the wall, adjusted his sunglasses and walked out unharmed.

"It looks like our Captain Le Wuwen succeeded!"

As Yu Ze smiled, he placed a calming talisman on Song Huiwen's body and gently stroked her.

The other party gradually returned to its original appearance, but still had through wounds all over its body, and about 30% of its flesh had been decomposed.

but,

Song Huiwen remained standing upright and was still able to move normally; her vitality as a monster was astonishing.

The team quickly rushed to the beach area to check the situation and could see a few bubbles floating on the surface of the sea, indicating that the other party had already dived down.

Without hesitation, Roddy plunged in.
Yu Ze stopped at the edge of the beach and put his hand in front of Song Huiwen, saying, "You stay here to recover. It's enough for me and the fellow villager to go down."

Song Huiwen shook her head, clearly still worried about Yu Ze and still wanting to protect him. She knew very well how terrifying and dangerous the monster they were facing was.

Yu Ze suddenly took out a golden pill and gently fed it to the other person.

Once the elixir enters the body,

A powerful energy was rapidly released within the body.

Song Huiwen must focus on absorbing energy, otherwise it may lead to more serious consequences.

The energy nourished the physical wounds, causing new flesh to grow from the previously irreparable wounds. Her anxious state of mind gradually calmed down, and she sat down, imitating Yu Ze's usual meditation posture.

Yu Ze gently patted her head, then turned and went into the sea.

……

Deep under the sea.

As Luo Di was struggling to descend, a talisman was suddenly placed on him, sealing off all the aura he was releasing. Yu Ze, who had rushed over, also made a shushing gesture, signaling him to stop descending.

The next second, some dangerous creature swam by rapidly, failing to notice the two of them.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the flesh-and-blood dragon from before, currently conducting patrols in the mid-level sea area.

Continue descending,

Not just flying dragons,

All sorts of unimaginable flesh-and-blood life forms are patrolling, preventing anyone from getting close.

Including but not limited to
The "Blood Whale" is covered in skull-shaped barnacle structures, from which fibers float to sense any creatures that may be present in the surroundings.

The "big meatball," shaped like a meatball, has no extra features and floats in the ocean.

It was this unremarkable creature that almost discovered the two of them; the fleshy mass seemed to contain extremely sensitive sensory nerves.

It sensed something from fifty meters away and quickly approached by spraying air, as if it wanted to devour all the flesh and blood it touched.

Fortunately, Yu Ze was there.

By drawing talismans in the air to suppress the creature's senses, the two were able to successfully dive down and evade it.

There are also various densely packed fleshy creatures resembling small fish and shrimp, which swim rapidly through surface fibers.

After overcoming numerous obstacles, the two finally reached the bottom, where the mermaid corpse was located.

However, this giant mermaid, which measures over a kilometer in length, has undergone significant changes compared to previous observations.

The umbilical cord that used to be inserted into the abdomen has completely disappeared.
The body, which was originally relatively intact, is now rapidly shrinking.
Its scales were also falling off rapidly.
However, the corpse's abdomen was slightly swollen and a faint pulse was observed.

The faceless man stood beside the corpse, his hand pressed against its abdomen, sensing the changes within. His attention was completely focused on it, and he naturally didn't notice the two young men who had arrived above him. He simply waited quietly.
I waited for a full two hours.

The two relied on the water-repelling talisman to remain hidden in the shadows, waiting for some kind of change to occur.

suddenly,

The faceless man seemed to sense something, and with a single palm strike, he cut open the fish's belly and took out what was inside!
As this object was removed, the mermaid's corpse completely collapsed and dispersed with the ocean currents.

Strangely, the faceless man, who had been guarding the mermaid's corpse for nearly a century, seemed completely indifferent to it.

His attention was entirely focused on his palms, carefully cradling a newborn baby delivered via cesarean section, the umbilical cord still attached to its abdomen.

It's a girl.
The pressure of the deep sea had no effect on her; the fish scales on the girl's body allowed her to easily adapt to such an environment.

The faceless man seemed to sense something. He quickly swam upstream with the baby girl in his arms, as if he wanted her to breathe the first breath of air on land and to accept the true nature of the fear that came from the corner.

As he quickly moved upstream, something strange happened again.

For every 100 meters she swims upstream, the baby girl in her arms will grow a year older, both in size and hair.

Luo Di and Yu Ze could only follow quietly behind, trying their best not to be discovered.

They naturally recognized the rapidly growing baby girl in their arms as Wu Wen. However, she had changed slightly compared to her former appearance.

More ethereal, more delicate... or more like a fish.

Leaping out of the sea.

The girl is about ten years old.

Her body was also covered in fish scales, which covered some necessary private parts.

Breathing in the first breath of air from the corner, she let out the first cry that a baby should have.

Salty tears moistened my eyelids.

The pale yellow whites of his eyes framed a vertical black pupil.

Right now,

Song Huiwen was waiting on the shore. When she saw what was happening in front of her, she was stunned at first, but the next second she stared at the faceless man with hostility.

The faceless man naturally saw her as well.

Extend your palm,

An endless stream of flesh and blood fibers attacked instantly, like a giant net of flesh and blood, impossible to dodge.

at this time,

The girl uttered a sound for the first time, "Brother... Brother, no!"

Suddenly, all the flesh and blood fibers stopped, stopped in front of Miss Song, and then retracted.

At the same time,

Yu Ze and Luo Di returned to the shore and quickly stood beside Song Huiwen.

The girl raised her finger again, pointing at the three people, "They...are friends, they are good people."

No-Face can not only understand words, but also sense emotions.

He was no longer manic, no longer harbored any hostility towards the person in front of him, or rather, his inner conflict had been resolved.

With a wave of his hand, he retracted all the fleshy membrane that enveloped the fishing village, transforming it into a fleshy mass in his palm, sinking beneath the skin.

Immediately afterwards, all the flesh and blood life in the ocean decomposed into the most primitive flesh and blood fibers, which crawled back into his body.

The girl continued, "I know a place... a place where I can study, eat, and have a home. Brother, can we go there together?"

The faceless man nodded.

He had already achieved his sole purpose in staying in the fishing village. He didn't like the sea, nor did he like the fishy smell here, or rather, he had long been disgusted with the place. He only stayed here because he needed to accomplish something.

The girl led the faceless man toward the elevator, seemingly deliberately walking past Roddy, their fish scales making subtle contact with his body.

The girl's seemingly innocent appearance, as if she were just beginning to explore the world, suddenly flashed with a sense of familiarity. She even winked at Luo Di and gave him a special smile.
