Deep in the Living

Chapter 749 Trial Ticket

Dungeon entrance.

Wu Wen stood there in her standard teacher's attire and high heels, watching Luo Di's departing figure.

Once her breath had completely disappeared, she turned and left.

Just as he turned around,

Her hand was gently taken, and opposite her was Mr. Rose, who was about to kiss her hand.

The lips, about to fall, pause 1mm away without touching; this is basic etiquette for a lady.

Wu Wen did not reject this simple etiquette, but only responded with a professional smile.

Just as she was about to leave, Mr. Rose spoke up:

Wu Wen arrived in the corner three years ago.

Because of his monster identity obtained through "Corner Wanted," he enjoyed personal privileges in the early stages of his arrival here, grew rapidly, and came into contact with "Guo Wendian," the current founder of Whirlpool Town, becoming a member of a small group.

one year later,

Without the help of a group, he killed one of my photography-loving subordinates all by himself, occupied his apartment, and took his maid.

I never imagined that you would have grown to such a height in just two years.

Personally, I don't care about the murder of my subordinate, and I greatly admire Ms. Wu's talent and ability. I hope you can stay here; I'd like to host a private dinner for you.

"No need, I have to go back to class."

“Attending classes? It seems that Whirlpool Town has a special training system, which is the main reason why I am unwilling to get involved.”

Could you please leave your contact information so you can visit the manor when you have time?

"Sorry, I'm not interested in older men. Besides, didn't you just meet my boyfriend?"

These words made Mr. Rose's eyelids twitch slightly, and his wording changed slightly as well.

“Roddy was contaminated with deep-seated filth beforehand, so his chances of survival are extremely slim. You should be well aware of that.”

To everyone's surprise, Wu Wen burst out laughing at these words.

The sharp laughter almost pierced the darkness, and the roses in the manor seemed to tremble slightly.

There was only laughter, no verbal response.

Wu Wen quickly covered her face and stopped laughing, then left directly.

This behavior once again crossed Mr. Rose's line, and his cheek twitched slightly.

A hand axe slipped silently from his sleeve.

The bloodlust that had been suppressed since tonight, originating from the Black Gate's primal desires, was now unleashed.

At this moment, Wu Wen suddenly responded:
"Mr. Rose, you can rest assured, my Roddy will be back."

Instead of thinking about how to produce offspring with me, you should start preparing now... He's very powerful; you might really get killed by him.

This time, it was Mr. Rose's turn not to respond.

He followed behind with a completely still pace, in sync with Wu Wen's, the axe in his hand seeming ready to strike at any moment.

The two remained relatively still until they reached the entrance of the manor.

The axe hovered in the air, its cold light flashing.

The arm fell, slashing down with a smooth motion.

however,
No sharp weapon pierced Wu Wen's body; instead, a fine carriage arrived at the door.

Mr. Rose's action just now wasn't chopping, but rather helping to call a car.

Not only that,

He even stepped forward and offered Wu Wen a cigarette made of rose petals, and lit it for her himself.

The latter inhaled the sweet and delicious aroma and showed a satisfied expression.

“Miss Wu, this is the manor’s carriage, which will safely take you back to Whirlpool Town. As I said before, you are welcome to visit anytime, and I will certainly keep my promise of the dinner.”

"The cigarettes are nice. I'll consider coming again. Thank you so much for your help tonight."

Wu Wen exhaled smoke rings, said goodbye, and then drew the curtains of the carriage.

Mr. Rose was also waving goodbye, with the hand axe he had failed to use to chop the air stuck behind him.

……

The pattering rain continued to tap on the glass surface, wetting the movie posters hanging on it.

bell!
A tall, dark figure pushed open the door and entered the store.

Take off the hood,

His stiff gray hair and distinctive metallic chin structure were exposed.

This is the dungeon's transition zone, the video shop where you select dungeon events, and the place to collect rewards after the events end.

only,
The video stores corresponding to different dungeon entrances also differ. The video store at Jiang Mansion is noticeably more gloomy, not only because it's drizzling outside, but also because it lacks lighting inside. Moreover, the various CDs, merchandise, books, and other items displayed on the shelves are predominantly Asian in style.

Instead of a spiral staircase connecting the upper and lower floors, it is a wooden elevator.

Just as Roddy was walking toward the elevator, he noticed something strange out of the corner of his eye and lost control.

The second pupil actually crawled out on its own.

As far as the eye could see, the pitch-black space was covered with eyeballs, and some of them even had black tentacles crawling out.

The deep, resonant voice of Mount Sumeru echoed in my mind:
"Humans are truly a courageous race. You could have stayed in that special school and continued to grow under the chef's protection."

They've actually come looking for us on their own initiative; it's really something to look forward to.

Since you're coming, I won't bother you for now.

I will wait for you in the deepest part, where my "companions" and my great master await... I eagerly anticipate the arrival of your true form.

After he finished speaking, all the abnormalities in his field of vision disappeared, and he regained control of his right eye.

However, Roddy could still feel a foreign object, a foreign object attached to his right eye.

He found a relatively smooth piece of metal that could reflect light like a mirror and looked at it.

really,

The second pupil did not disappear; it remained there.

Roddy's perspective remains unaffected, but the presence of his second pupil is always somewhat uncomfortable.

No matter whether the eyeball is removed and regenerated, or cut and repaired with a blade, the second pupil always exists, as if it has become a part of him.

He quickly gave in and wasn't too bothered. In fact, after getting used to it, the double pupil structure actually seemed quite stylish.

No longer having too many concerns, Roddy knew very well that being affected was inevitable.

He then walked towards the wooden elevator in the video store. When he stepped on it, he could hear a distinct wooden creaking sound, and he felt that his weight was almost at the limit of the thing.

Click, click~ I barely made it to the bottom.

His gaze also drifted towards the counter.
There was a thin, emaciated shop assistant lying there, smoking a pipe that looked like it had come from nowhere. He was on his deathbed, and every breath he exhaled seemed like his last.

As Roddy approached the counter, the man quickly sat up straight, revealing his Asian face and looking at him with somewhat cloudy eyes.

Especially when he saw the structure of Luo Di's pupils, he straightened up and stared wide-eyed.

"You... have been marked."

Only Jiang Huaishan had ever been to the deepest part. It seems he is dead after all, and you have inherited and peered into that marked memory.

It's such a pity, you're so young, and you've already made contributions to the community.

Now all I can do is face death; this is karma... Wait! What's that hanging on your chest? Can I see it?"

Roddy reached out and took out the pendant.

When the tightly closed human-faced egg structure was revealed, the shop assistant immediately put down the smoking pipe, took out the few remaining candles, and lit them on the table.

The candlelight appeared.

His cloudy eyes also became clear.

"This is the key! Perhaps you really have a chance to survive. With this, according to the rules set in the corner, you can obtain a 'Deep Experience Ticket.'"

"What do you mean?"

"The deepest part of the dungeon is not a place one can go to at will. Only individuals whose pituitary plants have fully spread out and formed a garden are qualified to go to the deepest part and seek divinity."

Once they went there, they could not return; their only way out was to pass through the dungeon and go to the deepest corner.

Without this item and the trial voucher, you can only rely on the [mark] to reach the deepest part of the dungeon, and the only outcome is death.

But it's different now.

Because of your unique human nature, you have been chosen by the Corner and will have the opportunity to venture into the deepest part of the dungeon to search for "ancient relics".

Once you find what you've found, you can end your journey and return here.

You can also use this opportunity to erase the root of the mark.

"So, while others can only go in and not out, I can turn back?"

"Yes... What a coincidence! You just happened to inherit Master Jiang's memories and were marked by something deep within."

But you, being a special human being, need to go there to retrieve a personal keepsake left for you in a corner.

Great! Hope you get back safely.

Such coincidences haven't occurred in this dead corner for a long time; perhaps it's precisely these coincidences that are needed to bring about a better outcome.

The clerk crouched down and fiddled with the items for a while, eventually finding a rusty black iron key and a ticket with a corner symbol drawn on it.

At the same time, he raised his withered arm and pointed it towards the elevator.

"The entrance is just below."
