Deep in the Living

Chapter 736 Noise
Central Deliberation Chamber

The purpose of reviewing serious violations within the Bureau of Exploration includes, but is not limited to, killing other law-abiding agents, leaking classified information, colluding with monster organizations, and damaging important assets within the organization.

The secret chamber is the foundation of the Exploration Bureau, the key to humanity catching up with the monsters' growth, and the source of privilege.

Roddy caused the complete destruction of an ordinary secret room, and as per the rules, he was naturally brought here as well.

All the ministers who were not on missions came to the scene. However, the entire deliberation was quite swift. After a detailed understanding of the incident and an examination of Roddy's physical condition, the court ruled that Roddy was not guilty.

Leaving aside the fact that Roddy did it unintentionally,
Even if it was done intentionally, the Exploration Bureau will not pursue the matter.

After all, being able to cultivate a young human with ministerial-level strength at the cost of an ordinary secret room is a very worthwhile deal.

[Dining room]

Luo Di sat to one side, eating spicy wontons.

Yu Ze and Song Huiwen sat opposite each other, and both had changed a lot.

Miss Song's once prominent sharp teeth have all been retracted back into her mouth. Although they may be slightly visible when she opens her mouth, her appearance is now almost indistinguishable from a human's.

Yu Ze had an air of otherworldly elegance, and seemed much more composed.

Luo Di wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with a napkin and looked at the two people opposite him: "Yu Ze, I will bring back the information about Master Jiang's exploration of the deep dungeon later. Teacher Guo may start to build an in-depth team. Will you participate then?"

"You overestimate me. Besides, I want to live a little longer."

I'm still quite far from achieving a fully-fledged plant garden, and even if I do, I can't rush it... The dangers deep within that dungeon are too great; let the teachers consider that.

Moreover, we humans have other ways to attain divinity, reaching into the deepest corners of existence.

"Secret room?"

Yu Ze grinned. "Looks like you know a lot about this, fellow villager. Here's the thing: human agents whose pituitary plants present a garden structure can revisit the [Relic Chamber].

After lying in the coffin, you will arrive at a brand new ancient area, where you will undergo a test before becoming a god. If you pass the test, you will gain godhood and be able to go deeper into the world.

The exact difficulty is unknown, but it should be significantly better than the deepest part of the dungeon.

"Has anyone succeeded?"

"Currently, the strongest and most senior member of the Exploration Bureau is the Director. He could certainly give it a try, but considering the Exploration Bureau's unstable foundation, he needs to be in charge."

If any mishap occurs and the Director-General is unable to return, the Exploration Bureau may be devoured by monsters and forced to retreat to the border region.

Of course, now that the Exploration Bureau has partnered with Vortex Town, perhaps the Director General has already begun preparations.

Roddy was puzzled. "If no one has tried it, how do they know all this? Is it information provided by the secret information room?"

"You guessed right~ The secret room decoding project, which is managed by the Technology Development Department, can not only open up more secret rooms and obtain the old technologies within them, but also allow us to obtain various useful information."

We've gone off on a tangent~ Why are you asking this, folks?
Since you already have the "qualifications," you can simply ascend to the next level when the time is right. There's no need to take the risk, is there?

"I'll most likely be going with the teachers to the depths of the dungeon, because..."

Roddy provided detailed information about the relics.

Yu Ze was already surprised enough that his fellow villager had killed Master Jiang and inherited his mantle, but he never expected to have such an unexpected gain.

The unknown relic turned out to be some kind of key that needed to be opened at the deepest part of the dungeon, a situation that even Yu Ze had never heard of before.

"Why are you working so hard, my friend? You're putting so much pressure on me. Isn't Jock already dead? And the external threats are temporarily gone. Wouldn't it be better to develop steadily? Going to risk your life deep in the interior prematurely is simply not worth it."

Roddy's attitude was unusually firm: "The opportunity has been given to me, and I can indeed wait. But if I wait too long, and the real danger comes, I might be the first one to die."

Yu Ze raised his sunglasses, his smile fading, and looked at his fellow villager with some surprise. "Luo Di, it seems your biggest gain from this trip to the Jiang family mansion is neither the mantle of Master Jiang nor the deep-seated intelligence... but yourself. Go back and give the intelligence to Teacher Guo, and he will naturally make proper arrangements."

I'm always on the go, so I'm available anytime.

"Ah."

Roddy didn't linger. After finishing the soup in his bowl, he teleported away.

Yu Ze looked at the food in his bowl, but for some reason he couldn't eat it. He even found it difficult to swallow the food he was chewing.

After swallowing the food in her throat, she rinsed her mouth with cola and said softly, "Wen, you should be free today, right?"

"I might need to go practice with the agents."

"Can we cancel?"

"can."

"Okay~ Come to the office with me in a bit, and we'll try to delve deeper..."

Song Huiwen's expression changed. "Didn't we agree to wait a while?" "We can't wait any longer~ Look, my fellow villager even killed Master Jiang. He completely seized such a great opportunity."

If I continue to play it safe, I'll be left behind sooner or later. I don't want to be someone else's background character.

……

Whirlpool Town, Fourth Middle School.

Luo Di stepped out of the teachers' office.

All of Master Jiang's deep memories have been shared with Teacher Guo, but the latter is currently busy with matters in the town and will check them later.

Luo Di could tell that Teacher Guo was very tired lately, and had not let his guard down at all despite the removal of the external threat. He didn't disturb him further and turned to leave.

The specific arrangements can be left to Teacher Guo; he himself is not in a hurry.

Roddy also wanted to stay at school for a while to solidify his newly acquired master Jiang's mantle, and also to go to the cafeteria again to learn from Hunter for a period of time.

He still can't remember the final blow that killed Master Jiang; perhaps he can find the answer with Hunter.

This is very important; once you understand it, the lethality will increase significantly.

The moment I stepped out of the school gate.

Roddy stretched lazily.
This journey has finally come to a temporary end. From going to the Jiang family to find a way to repair weapons to now inheriting Master Jiang's mantle, even he himself never expected things to develop this way.

Feeling the weight increase several times over, feeling the air exhaled from my mouth,
Looking at the human-face-shaped artifact and the lightning flowing across its left arm.

Roddy smiled with considerable satisfaction; he planned to relax for the day.

In the evening, in the master bedroom of the villa.

Luo Di and Wu Wen leaned against each other on the sofa. The movie was coming to an end, and it was almost time to go to sleep.

Just as the credits rolled, Roddy was about to ask if he could stay the night.

Thump, thump! A series of rapid knocking sounds came from behind.

Not only was the sound piercing, but Luo Di could also feel his entire body becoming uncontrollable, even the mantle of Master Jiang that he had just inherited could not suppress it.

open the door,
The faceless figure was right at the door.

Wu Wen could only purse her lips, wave goodbye to Luo Di, and indicate that they would see each other again tomorrow morning.

Walking alone in the streets late at night,

Although Roddy has many places to sleep and rest, whether it's the sorority, Gustave's house, or borrowing a room from Liberty, it's not a problem.

Or you could go find Hunter now and talk to him about cutting meat beforehand.

Just as Roddy was considering where to go.

Sizzle... sizzle...

A burst of noise came.

This is the kind of noise Roddy has ever heard.
The noise was heard while examining Master Jiang's deep memories; it was a sound that existed deep within the dungeon, an extremely discordant sound.

Roddy started scratching his hair unconsciously, and he would grab a handful with each scratch!
Not only that,

The scratches left on the scalp seemed to still be wriggling slightly.

The scene before his eyes turned completely black, and his consciousness seemed to be temporarily suspended.

This strange state lasted for an unknown period of time, yet his tongue showed no dangerous reaction. Suddenly, a hand, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, gently patted his shoulder.

This contact brought Roddy back to his senses instantly, and the scene before him startled him.

"What!?"

Unbeknownst to him, he had somehow arrived deep within Whirlpool Town.

It's worth noting that the location of Whirlpool Town also corresponds to a dungeon. With the victory in the extraterritorial operation, this dungeon returned to normal and was no longer interfered with by the comic book store.

current,

Roddy had somehow arrived at the entrance to the dungeon, with a spiral staircase leading downwards right in front of him. If he continued down this path, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"How did I end up here without realizing it? Was it because I peeked into Master Jiang's memories and was thus affected, drawn by the call of the deep dungeon? Who helped me?"

Roddy felt the touch on his shoulder and quickly looked around, soon finding the hole structure deep in the alley.
