Deep in the Living

Chapter 737 Visit
Generally speaking, access to the depths of Whirlpool Town is restricted.

Even official members like Luo Di need to report to Teacher Guo in advance if they want to go here.

The weird thing is,
Luo Di unknowingly arrived here, even bypassing the ashes placed on the perimeter, and has yet to receive any warning from Teacher Guo.

Of course, Teacher Guo was too tired today, and with the diary of Master Jiang that Luo Di had delivered, it was currently midnight, so he was probably already fast asleep.

anyway,

This is a very dangerous situation.
It should be noted that Roddy was already at the level of a "half-step teacher," yet he was subjected to such an influence that he could not resist or perceive at all.

"If there's a first time, there's likely to be a second time."

If it weren't for Mr. Question Mark's timely reminder, I might already be in the dungeon, or even in the most dangerous deep dungeon.

I wonder if Mr. Question Mark is free. I haven't seen him since the extraterritorial operation ended. I should go check on him.

Roddy turned and walked into the alley beside him, arriving at the hole at the end of the passage.

He placed his left palm on it.

Roddy already possessed the ability to create passages, so he could naturally make contact with the relatively primitive cripple passage before him.

Seeing that there were no defenses set up in the hole, Roddy quietly crawled inside.

hum!
He had assumed that the interior of the hole would be the rock passage through which he had penetrated the lame man's lair when they faced him directly.

When their feet touched the ground, they found themselves in a semi-cylindrical passage.

It is not a rock stratum.

It is a man-made passageway structure.

The smooth floor is covered with non-slip frosted tiles, while the walls on both sides are painted with question marks of different sizes and colors.

All of them use self-illuminating fluorescent paint, so there is no need to install electric lights.

"I remember when I won the real death game, Mr. Question Mark invited me to that residence located inside the company, which was a separate space."

Mr. Question Mark's "game" also involves the evolution and application of space, and it is currently perfectly combined with the Limpy Man's passage ability, so the level must have reached a higher level.

Once fully in control, Mr. Question Mark will undoubtedly inherit the limping man's divine status and ascend to a higher level via a completely different path.

Roddy kept his footsteps as low as possible, and once he found that Mr. Question Mark was in seclusion, he turned and left.

However, when he reached the end of the passage, he found a door standing before him, its surface engraved with question mark grooves.

Since he was already here, Roddy reached out and touched him; if he couldn't get through, he would simply leave.

But the moment their palms touched, a sharp pain shot through them.

An unseen thorn pierced his palm, causing blood to flow and staining the question mark on the door a vivid red.

click!
The sound came from the internal door lock.

It wasn't Mr. Question Mark's secluded room, but a bright and spacious game room with an arena.

Roddy immediately spotted the individual standing in the center of the room—a plastic mannequin that you could see anywhere in a clothing store.

The model was wearing a burlap sack similar to the one worn by Mr. Question Mark on his head, and the colorless question mark on the front of the sack was slowly being dyed red, seemingly the blood of Roddy.

click!
The plastic mannequin came to life.

Breathing sounds followed, and what came out was actually a kind of yin energy.

Skin quickly grew on the model's body, skin almost identical to Roddy's, heavy, hot, and indestructible.

Even the spine on its back is revealed, gray and ancient.

"this is me?"

Even Roddy himself couldn't quite tell the difference, since the aura emanating from the other party was exactly the same as his.

suddenly,

A jet-black blade was also in the model's hand, which startled Miss Meijin, who was hidden inside Roddy's body.

quickly,

Roddy sensed a familiar killing intent; he had been marked as prey. Moonlight scattered, and the mannequin with a sack-like head covering was already upon him.

hum!
The fight ended in an instant.

A deep, bone-revealing knife wound appeared on the inside of Roddy's shoulder, but it only reached the bone and did not cut it open. As for the model herself, she had already fallen to the ground, her whole body charred black, and the yin energy within her body, which was trying to repair itself, was completely sucked away by a suction force.

The hidden relics were immediately collected by Roddy after the gas was inhaled.

Luo Di turned to look at the lightning wrapped around his left arm. He had to admit that Master Jiang's ability was really useful.

Although the other party is a high-quality replica, no matter how high the quality of the replica, it cannot imitate the unique "Hand of Prometheus".

Roddy also has a very good understanding of himself and is very clear about his weaknesses.

By deliberately taking a knife, you can seize the opportunity and grab the other person's head!

Lightning release,

This can be considered the first time that Master Jiang's abilities have been used in actual combat.
Not only did it prove usable, but it was also extremely effective. This extreme Yang lightning, combined with the perfect release of the metal in the left arm, directly scorched the opponent.

With the model's death

There was a round of applause.

Mr. Question Mark had arrived here at some point, still dressed in a very elegant gentleman's suit, his face still covered by the familiar burlap sack.

The exposed palm is covered with holes, but each hole has a corresponding outline, forming a question mark pattern.

Before Roddy could even express his gratitude or offer his greetings,

Mr. Question Mark then said, “It seems you really did kill Jiang Huaishan… No matter what the circumstances were, no matter what advantages you had, you killed him with your own hands and gained the maximum benefit.”

You're only a certain number of slaughters away from the [Garden].

"Yes... I can feel that I'm about to reach the next stage, but I don't know what the breakthrough will be like, and I'm not sure."

Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Question Mark. Did I disturb you?

"Of course I'm disturbing you... but it doesn't matter. I'm currently in a rather confused state and can't continue to improve for the time being."

"Confused?" Roddy had thought that Mr. Question Mark was basically about to be completed.

"I am currently considering whether to use this 'Lame Godhood'... although I have now basically grasped the characteristics of His pores, whether it is transmission, infection or reproduction of offspring."

This divine status seems very attractive. Once accepted, I will break through to a higher level and possess my own divinity.

However... it may also limit my development.

For the past few days, I've been pondering a question: should I revert to my monstrous nature and search for the most suitable path to godhood?

Upon hearing this, Roddy's eyes lit up. "Great! Perfect timing, I have some information here that you, Mr. Question Mark, don't know about."

"What information?"

"The information that Master Jiang risked his life to bring out concerns about the deepest part of the dungeon."

"Hmm? May I take a look?"

"of course."

After receiving permission, Mr. Question Mark reached out and drew a question mark shape on Roddy's forehead.

A special kind of informational substance rapidly precipitated from between the question marks and was received by him.

"This information is a bit too exaggerated... Back when I founded my company in the City of Sin, Jiang Huaishan came here once because of some trivial matters, and we had a minor disagreement."

Considering that a full-scale conflict would affect the entire city of evil and completely remove it from its corners, I took the initiative to compromise.

Jiang Huaishan's physique was incredibly exaggerated; at least back then, I had a hard time resisting it.

The thing deep inside the dungeon could not only destroy his body, but also instill such profound fear in him.

In comparison, that thing should pose a death threat to everyone in Whirlpool Town… If that's the case, things might be more interesting than I imagine.”

The question mark on the sack had turned horizontal, and Mr. Question Mark seemed very happy, as if he had made a decision.

After a short while, he returned the topic to Roddy.
"You seemed to be drawn to the dungeon today by some force, probably a side effect of directly peering into Master Jiang's memories?"

Roddy nodded quickly; he had come to Mr. Question Mark to deal with this matter. "Yes, I heard background noise during the memory probe. Mr. Question Mark, did you hear it when you were taking my memories just now?"

"What I've absorbed is merely textual information; the actual memory information remains sealed, locked within a zombie's skin, accessible only to you."

"Stay here tonight, and I'll try to see if I can help you remove this influence... Consider it a thank you for killing Jiang Huaishan."
