Deep in the Living

Chapter 74 Sound (Long chapter, for the leader, Fool Qianzhihe, Abyss_Abyss)

There were constant sounds of various objects breaking from the fifth floor of the teaching building.
Tables, chairs, windows and even walls.

A most intense and strange battle was going on on this floor.

The monitor used her agility and speed, which were her greatest strengths, to move between the classrooms in the long corridors, but the pursuers kept pressing on.

No matter how the squad leader attacked, no matter how she pierced with her claws, or how she hid, she could not stop or even delay this [hunt].

I have tried to fight head-on many times.

But Rody seemed to be impossible to kill. No matter what kind of injuries his body suffered, he would not be affected. It seemed that as long as that spine existed, he would continue to hunt and kill like a murderer.

After fighting many times in a row, the squad leader no longer dared to confront head-on.

However, the whole process was a bit strange.
Even if Rody had undergone an unknown change, his body functions had been terribly enhanced, and he had acquired the hunting instinct like a primitive beast,

But the squad leader still has the advantage in speed.

The current environment is also a [gap]. As the squad leader who builds one of the gaps, he also has a geographical advantage.

If she feels she is no match for her opponent, she can use her speed advantage to escape directly, quickly evacuate the teaching building, hide in a corner of the school, and hide again with her most powerful camouflage ability.

but,

The squad leader did not choose the option of [Escape],

Or maybe she already knew that Fengjian's promotion was about to end, and now only she and Teacher Guo were left. Even if she ran away, she would be caught by the vortex in the sky. Even the entire campus was full of Teacher Guo's spies.

Or maybe there is some other reason...

After going around in circles, half an hour passed.

Back to the classroom of Class 5 of Senior again,

The moment the monitor entered the classroom, he immediately closed and locked the front door.

But the next second, boom!
The classroom door was kicked open directly, the door hinges broke, and the monitor was thrown backwards with it, and his body was temporarily unbalanced.

Whoosh! The black-haired zombie knife flew over at the same time as the iron door was kicked open.

click!
The blade with teeth slashed directly into the squad leader's abdomen.

The enormous force contained in the throw carried the squad leader's body heavily into the opposite wall.

After a dull thud,
Wow!
A large mouthful of blood spurted out again.

This was the countless times that the squad leader had sprayed blood and been injured while hunting.

The squad leader immediately pulled out the zombie knife that was completely inserted into her body, tore off a piece of her own skin and wrapped it around the blade, taking the opportunity to put the threatening weapon behind her back.

Just as she was about to get up and continue to escape,
The body that had just stood up suddenly fell down as if out of control and sat on the ground.

I wanted to get up again, but it was still the same.

This time he even sat down again before he could even stand up halfway.

The squad leader looked at her arms, hands, and finger bones, which were already difficult to heal due to multiple comminuted fractures.
Although it managed to maintain its integrity with the help of the investigator's costume and the corner, it had now reached its limit. The whole hand was shaking wildly, and even grasping was difficult.

There was also a strange feeling in the abdomen.

The entire abdomen was almost ripped open by the flying knife just now, and even the investigator's clothes were damaged, so the various internal organs and tissues inside could be clearly seen.

Blood began to spread on the ground.
“Has my body become so rotten?
It was so strange. I was a bit dazed during the whole chase, just like those humans in the movies who had been stabbed several times without realizing it.

Very good……"

The monitor's expression didn't change much. He just watched everything calmly, then gradually moved his gaze upwards.

The heat wave has arrived.

Luo Di, who was also covered in wounds, with multiple cuts and penetrating wounds on his body, had already returned to the classroom.

With the support of the spine, it maintains full mobility and even assumes the basic functions of some organs.

It seemed to sense that its prey's ability to move had been taken away.

Luo Di no longer ran wildly, but followed the same steps as in the movie.

The sound of each foot stepping on the ground seems to correspond to the final countdown of the prey's life.

The squad leader leaning against the side wall just looked at the other person with her best fake smile, as if she had completely given up, but also as if she was appreciating something.

Snapped!
The last step was to the monitor.

Rody did not carry out the execution directly because he had no weapons in his hands.

The obsession of the murderer is rooted in his brain, and the final execution must be done with a knife.

The zombie knife that the squad leader had put away was placed at the back of her waist, visible at a glance.

Luo Di could only bend down, lower his head, and reach out to grab the squad leader's lower back.
Because of this knife-picking action,

His head almost rested on the monitor's shoulder.
Remove the skin covering the zombie knife and grasp the handle.
call……

Rody exhaled a deep breath of dry air filled with ash.

Since even such a flawed "knife-taking behavior" did not receive any resistance from the squad leader, it was enough to show that the opponent's ability to act had been completely lost, and all that was left was the final execution.
The spine drives the bent body to slowly move upward.
When Rody's face was about to move away from the monitor's shoulder,

Click~
The squad leader's hands, which had already been shattered, moved very quickly, as if they had never been injured, and they moved towards Roddy's head.

but,

Rody's spine did not respond at all, nor did his tongue in his mouth make any clapping sounds, nor did he lead his body to launch any form of counterattack.

The reason was simple, he did not sense any murderous intent.

Snapped!
The claws did not cut or penetrate the head,
The scarred palm gently held Rody's face.
Because their heads were very close to each other and there was no resistance, the squad leader only needed to use a little force to pull Rody's face in front of her, less than an inch away.

Even with such a light pulling motion, the squad leader's right hand was completely shattered, falling to the ground and slowly dissipating.

However, it also allowed the two to face each other.
The squad leader tried his best to push his weak body forward and gently placed his cold lips on it, but soon he ran out of strength and leaned back against the wall.

Although it was only a momentary contact, a small pure white dot appeared in Rodion's pupils which were covered with darkness, and his confused consciousness became slightly clearer.

call……

When we separate,

The monitor's expression changed, becoming different from any time before.
It was a very natural smile, just like the smile I had when I first approached Luo Di a year ago and invited him to participate in the practice. Tears welled up in my eyes.

Flowing constantly,

"If it could have been earlier, if I could have met you earlier, maybe... No, there is no maybe. I am already satisfied to have met you before everything is over.

do you know?

A year ago, I would have dreams every night, guided by whispers, and would dream of terrible things, either my father, or myself, or deep in the dark and unknown corners.

But after the winter vacation half a year ago,
I had a dream,

I dreamed of you, dreamed that I went to your house again, dreamed that we sat together and talked about many things.

I can even taste this dream, it's as delicious as your cooking...

That night, I found the feeling of being a human being for the first time, the first time I felt that I was still alive, and the first time I did not hate my body.

That’s almost it~ After you kill me, remember to send Xiaoying to the infirmary.

I avoided the vital parts and neither pierced the heart nor damaged important blood vessels. I just took the opportunity to inject the anesthetic that Xiao Gao brought, without overdose.

It’s just that Xiao Gao came at a really bad time. Even if I wanted to kill that skin-bag woman, it wouldn’t be easy... cough cough cough!

There is a real monster in this gap promotion. Instead of being a stepping stone for others, I would rather help you. Sure enough, you did not disappoint me. You are the most special. I knew I would not be wrong.

The mark of hell has been in effect since the beginning, and the world you are connected to does not seem to be the purest hell, which is really great."

From between Rodina's dry lips, words trembled softly.

"You... planned to die in my hands from the very beginning."

The monitor did not respond, but just looked at him quietly, as if as long as he didn't speak, he could look at him a little longer.

The blood in her abdomen had already drained out, but she was still alive, relying entirely on her powerful body as a pseudo-human.

suddenly,
The monitor's eyes changed and became extremely serious, as if he had made some decision.

She used the last of her strength to raise her arms and grabbed Rody by the collar.

“Promise me one thing.

You are always unwilling to face things that have already happened and are certain.

It was like he had already guessed my problem, but kept choosing to avoid it because of our relationship.

Even though I cut off Xiao Gao's head in front of you, you still hesitated when you swung the knife at me. Fortunately, Xiao Ying's arrival made you make up your mind.

[Escape] is the choice of the weak.

After I die, this promotion will end, the school will be unsealed, and it will be time for you to face what has happened.

When I went to your house that day, I smelled the smell that you covered up with detergent.

Stop avoiding it. Face it now that it has happened. Live well in the future... Remember to talk more and don't keep it to yourself all the time."

The squad leader's last words seemed to touch the depths of Rody's memory. The white dot-like pupils between his eyes began to expand continuously and returned to their normal pupil shape.

The squad leader gradually died in the process.

The big eyes that usually sparkled with brilliance now became dull and lifeless, and the tear glands no longer secreted any fluid.

"Wu Wen..."

Luo Di looked at the lifeless squad leader in front of him, and his drooping head.
He didn't shed tears.
There was no hesitation,
He raised the butcher knife high in his hand and chopped it down diagonally.

Swish!
Rody held in his hand a pituitary gland that had long been rotten and blackened, with cracks on its surface.

Feeling the residual warmth of the pituitary gland,
Standing in front of the cold corpse,
In the classroom where the two had been for three years,
Swallowed
The swirling black curtain that enveloped Sizhong dissipated at this moment, and the flow of time inside and outside remained consistent.

Those parents who were still waiting outside the school gate for the physical examination to end felt a certain fluctuation.
They also subconsciously looked towards the campus.
One of them suddenly caught a glimpse of something unusual. It seemed that a figure jumped down from the top of the teaching building near the school gate, climbed over the wall, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

[Resettlement Community No. 13]

The occupancy rate is less than 30%.

With a protruding back, Luo Di rushed from the gate of the community to the deepest apartment building, and the whole process was not noticed by anyone.

Take out the key,

open the door,
My father's voice came from inside immediately:

"You did well on the test. Keep it up."

Then I heard my mother's voice again.
"Be careful on the road."

Then my sister's voice came again.

"Roddy, I'm going to take my parents out to play. I'll leave the house to you."

Rody took off his shoes and put on slippers out of habit.

Through the partition in the shoe-changing area, you can barely see the backs of the parents sitting at the dining table. It's a very heartwarming scene.

But as Rody walked into the restaurant, the situation changed completely.
Three mummies, their surfaces still stained with fresh soil and stinking with odour, were sitting around the dining table, all without heads.

There were three tape recorders inserted around their necks, which would play the same conversation over and over again at regular intervals.
Rody's expression did not change as he watched this scene. He just quietly returned to the bedroom and took a look at the shovel covered in mud hidden under the bed.

This time,
He no longer needed to send his family on a trip, and he no longer reached for the shovel.

Coming to the desk,
I took out a pen, opened my diary, turned to a new page, and carefully recorded what happened today, without missing a single word.

The camera moves out of the bedroom.
Coming to the shoe cabinet at the door of the house,

In addition to the photo of a family of four placed here a year ago, there is now a new photo decorated with an exquisite wooden frame. It is the first photo of Roddy with his friends.

The hot pot pot that was knocked over in the air by the arm wrestling occupies the center of the picture.

On the left side of the photo is Anna, who looks horrified but wants to reach out to save the situation.

In the upper right corner of the photo is Gao Yuxuan, who is sitting in the innermost corner with a calm expression.
In the lower left corner of the photo is the squad leader who is laughing heartily without any burden of disguise.

On the right side of the photo, Rody smiled in front of his friends for the first time.
At this time,

There was a sound in the house.
A fixed frequency of tongue clicking sound came from the bedroom.
