Deep in the Living

Chapter 695 Painting
【Corner Shallow Level - Area Code #0132 - "Empty Underground Parking Lot"】

Just like its name suggests, this area is a pure parking lot, divided into four zones: A, B, C, and D. All zones are the same size and have the same number of parking spaces, and they are interconnected.

There are two ways to cross this area.
1. If you happen to encounter a bus stopped here, you only need to meet the boarding requirements to get a ride to another area.

2. Find the lost car key and the corresponding car. Once the car is in motion, you can find the parking lot exit.

If people just wander around inside, they'll never be able to get out.

Tovin Mills

The monster that just passed the seven-person screening and arrived in the corner is a Black Gate type: a deranged killer.

He looks like a blond young man wearing a baseball uniform with the number 17 printed on his back, giving him the look of a US high school baseball team.

This is the third shallow area he has arrived at.
The baseball bat he was holding was still stained with blood that had not yet congealed.

His journey through the corner went very smoothly. He encountered and brutally killed a monster in the first area as soon as he arrived. Now he was bursting with confidence and took the initiative to hit the cars passing by with his bat, filling the entire parking lot with sound.

He had a deep-seated craving for killing; the satisfaction of killing a monster was more exhilarating than killing ten humans.

Unfortunately, the empty parking lot was completely deserted, seemingly an empty area.

Tovin didn't want to waste any time, so he switched to a baseball run and tried to get to the next corner area as quickly as possible.

After running around for a while but still not finding an exit, he angrily swung his baseball bat and smashed the car in front of him to pieces. The friction sparks ignited the gasoline, causing an explosion.

It was this impulsive act that led him, illuminated by the firelight, to unexpectedly glimpse a hidden door in the wall not far away.

that's it,
Curious, Tovin went inside and found himself in the [E] area, which shouldn't exist.

There wasn't a single car here, but there was a shop at the very end.

"A comic book store? I think I've discovered something interesting. Is it an opportunity hidden in a corner?"

Torvin walked straight over, showing no intention of opening the door, and swung his baseball bat at it.

Just as the baseball bat was about to smash the blue glass,
A strange noise came from beside him.

Danger perception.

Tovin swiftly withdrew his hand and turned around, his eyes glowing crimson, blood vessels growing from his sleeves and clinging to his arm, ready to kill.

The sound came from the garbage dump area next to the door.

It seemed as if something was wriggling inside the black plastic bag, slowly crawling towards him.

Without any further thought, he swung the bat and smashed it down.

You can tell what he's hitting, what it looks like, and what its physical characteristics are just by the feel of the bat.

With three blows...
Tovin suddenly stopped what he was doing, because a beautiful young woman had appeared in his mind, giving him a special feeling that he had never experienced before.

This emotion caused him to lose his rationality, and his feelings took over. He ran over and tore open the black plastic bag.

A young girl with comminuted fractures all over her body and a sunken head was already dead inside.

Even if the body is deformed, even if it is covered in blood,

Such beauty still completely captivated Tovin, a possessiveness beyond reason swept through his mind and touched his soul!

"No, I absolutely can't let anyone see her! She has to be mine! If I cut her into small pieces, no one should be able to see her... or I can mince her into meat paste."

Since Tovin had no blade to cut, he simply tore the body apart, then used his baseball bat to beat the different pieces of flesh one after another until they turned into minced meat.

He then rummaged through the trash can for various plastic bottles and filled them with all the minced meat, thus making it his complete possession.

Just as Tovin finished his hard work, packed all the plastic bottles into his backpack, and was about to leave.

A girl's voice called out from inside the backpack.

This unusual occurrence startled him so much that he collapsed to the ground, a strange kind of fear gnawing at his soul. He slowly crawled towards his backpack and reached out to unzip it.

squeak~
It suddenly got stuck halfway down, and black hair had grown all over the zipper.

Tovin was a little anxious, or perhaps scared, or perhaps he wanted to see what was inside the backpack, so he pulled hard... Swish! The zipper was forcibly pulled open, but it was accompanied by a tearing sound.

A bloody head popped out, half of its scalp torn off.

The head itself maintained a smile.

Using the fleshy tentacles at the bottom of its neck, it slowly crawled out.

Tovin was startled and stepped back, but his true nature as a psychopathic killer was awakened, and he picked up the baseball bat and continued to smash the thing.

This time,
He wanted to pour the minced meat directly into the drain, but when he tried to do so, he couldn't let go of the drain.

Despite his fear, he still wanted to possess the girl for himself.

The minced meat in her hand continued to coalesce, slowly forming the facial structure of a young girl.

Gradually, Tovin began to laugh maniacally, his very soul began to twist, and all his physical activities began to revolve around the girl.

As a monster, its instinct to explore corners is gradually eroded. The camera then moves inside the comic book store.

Besides the middle-aged man sitting at the very back, there was also a young girl sitting next to him, with a special comic book workstation set up for her.

The girl, wearing round-framed glasses, is in charge of creating an independent comic book whose content is exactly the same as what happened in the underground parking lot.

The artist used extremely delicate brushstrokes to highlight Tovin's facial expressions, creating a sense of morbid despair.

I don't know when,

The mysterious middle-aged man was already standing behind the girl, commenting softly:

"Well done, you're making great progress."

"Thank you, teacher."

The girl's comic book was almost half full, and she herself was changing in the process, especially during the drawing, as if she was trying to break free from the corner.

"Teacher, it seems there's been some trouble in Whirlpool Town. Can I ask for leave to go back and check on it?"

"can."

……

Whirlpool Town, late at night.

The entrance to the sorority apartment.

Roddy dragged his tired body out, and even made a slight use of the disguise he had learned, so as not to be dragged away by any of the sisters on the way.

Luo Di hadn't rested since the fishing village incident, and as soon as he got back, he did several hours of heavy physical labor.

He should have gone straight to sleep at his grandmother's invitation.

But thinking of Wu Wen, whose eyes were blinking sideways, he forced himself to sit up and made an excuse to leave.

"The fishy smell is gone... When No-Face first arrived in Whirlpool Town, the whole city smelled terrible. It seems he can control himself now."

The fishing village gives one the feeling of being a primitive creature, a pure wild animal.

If Wu Wen can control herself, she should be fine, but we still need to go and check on her.

Roddy tried his best to stay alert; there was no need for pretense.

Faced with this plant, which ranks first and possesses the power to control flesh and blood, any disguise is meaningless. It's better to be dignified and go directly to its door to explain your purpose.

The abandoned villa is just at the next intersection.

Just as Roddy was about to cross the road, a strange noise came from the garbage station not far away.

A large, black garbage bag is slowly crawling towards us.

As Roddy shifted his gaze, he saw the strange object.

His instincts as a Black Gate killer were activated, and before he knew it, he had drawn his blade and instinctively wanted to kill what was inside.

He stepped on the garbage bag with heavy size 45 leather shoes.
Kneel on one knee

Cut it off with one knife.

Just as the blade was about to slice through the thing, *whoosh!* Roddy's arm instinctively stopped.

He was not a villain who killed indiscriminately; each of his killings required discernment... Such behavior went against his conscience and was forcibly rejected by Roddy's subconscious.

"Hua Yuan, you've changed so much."

"Huh? I clearly did something specifically targeting you. My actions weren't aggressive at all. Your tongue shouldn't have reacted, right? Why wasn't it cut off?"
"If you could kill me, you might be able to write a decent story."

The black plastic bag was torn open.

Wearing glasses, Hua Yuan stepped forward with a different kind of aura, her alluring eyes scrutinizing the young man she hadn't seen for long.

Instead of answering, Roddy asked, "What would happen if I killed you?"

"you guess?"

Have you proactively contacted the comic book store?

"Yes~ I've discussed this with Teacher Guo. After a series of tests, I'm now a special exchange student. I don't need to continue studying in Whirlpool Town for now, but instead I'll be learning manga from Teacher Ito."

"Are you ok?"

"Don't pretend to care about me~ Aren't you in a hurry to see Wu Wen right now? By the way, you smell weird, there's a fishy smell on you."

No, this smells like Wu Wen. How did she become like this?

This time, Luo Di did not respond. Instead, he took Hua Yuan's hand and they headed towards the villa area together.

Hua Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at their hands pressed together.
