Deep in the Living

Chapter 774 Back to School
Outside the comic book store.

Luo Di was still thinking about what he had just promised the shop owner. No wonder someone like Master Jiang would stumble in the dungeon.

If the green light is related to death row inmates in the central prison, it means that the difficulty of the original dungeon has deviated from the initial setting.

Luo Di's current strength is not even comparable to that of Master Jiang at his peak; touching the green light would only lead to his death.

Fortunately, there is no time limit for this matter, so he can use the gains from this dungeon to improve himself, and may even reach the next stage ahead of schedule.

As a dual-system individual
Roddy's next stage will not only involve creating a garden; his journey through hell will also lead him to his own kingdom.

The difficulty of achieving a double promotion is self-evident; he cannot rush it.

Just as I was thinking,
Hua Yuan leaned closer and looked at the bag in front of Luo Di.

"Huh! Could this be the offspring of that white pig? It smells awful, and how come the white pig gave birth to a black one? But then again, that happens to humans too."

Morton wanted to lash out at the lowly being who spoke so rudely, but since they were still in front of the comic book store, he could only swallow his anger.

"Ahem! I am not the offspring of that white pig, but merely escaped the dungeon by using the body of his offspring."

Hua Yuan suddenly remembered something, "Eyes... so this is what I felt when I came to help back then?"

She disliked such ugly things and looked away at Roddy. "Let's go back~ Everyone is definitely looking forward to your return. Your information is enough to advance the exploration of the entire corner."

Should we take this opportunity to negotiate with the school and get them to concede some benefits?

"No need, this is something I promised Teacher Guo."

"What a kind person."

The two walked out of the narrow alleyway and arrived directly inside the town of Whirlpool, just like the exit of a comic book store could be set up anywhere in the corner.

Looking at the swirling ashes floating in the sky, and at the familiar streets, Roddy's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he went home.

however,
Something within Roddy became unsettled.

Black-Eyed Morton had finally escaped the hellish comic book store and left the threatening area of ​​the death row inmates. He thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and live a carefree life as a false god.

Little did he know, his gaze had barely been cast out when he spotted a green door across the street, behind which was a colossal structure disguised as a hotel.

Only a small portion of it is exposed above the surface; the rest, exceeding 100 meters in length, lies underground.

Not only is it enormous, but such a colossal creature also possesses boundless vitality and an inner power that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Suddenly, the colossal creature seemed to sense being watched, and a green eye, buried deep underground, stared directly at it, startling Morton into quickly averting his gaze.

He is not yet at the level of a false god; his infant body severely limits his abilities, so he should avoid causing trouble as much as possible.

Just as Morton was about to ask what the enormous thing was,

Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch something: something standing at the street corner. It wasn't too big or too small, about the height of an average person, but it had a tongue-like head.

Just as he saw this tongue monster,

despair!
A series of clicking sounds echoed in my brain.

When they came to their senses, the tongue monster had already disappeared.

But the bag he was in had suddenly become soft. Looking down, he saw that the inside of the bag was filled with tongues, and some tongues had even crawled into his mouth and were licking Morton's pig tongue.

Sensing a threat, its dark pupils began to move.

Just then, Roddy shouted, "Professor Gustav, stop... This is a false god I brought out of the dungeon. It is very weak now because of the transfer of its essence."

"A false god? A transformation of essence..."

The tongue is gone, the threat is gone.

Only one disheveled, beggar-like white-haired man stood to the side, with a very obvious tongue-out tattoo under his right eye.

"No wonder I said the taste of this tongue was a bit off, not entirely related to the nature of his eyeballs, it had a fishy smell~ So that's why."

Welcome back, Roddy! Your teacher knew you could do it.

Gustave's interest immediately shifted from the piglet to Roddy. The reason he found this place so quickly was because Roddy's scent had changed.

“Let’s go to school together. Teacher Guo will definitely be very happy. There will probably be a school-wide meeting soon, and you’re a big hero, Roddy… By the way! The dungeon exploration seems to have changed you quite a bit too. Come on, let the teacher taste you.” Roddy didn’t object, and cut off his tongue and offered it to her.

Gustav's eyes widened with anticipation. He had already tasted a familiar flavor from afar, a taste he had never experienced before, a completely new flavor.

however,
The tongue enters the mouth.

His expression shifted from joy to confusion, then to discomfort, and finally to extreme nausea.

Even so, even though he had tasted all the flavors of Roddy's journey to the dungeon, because of his own obsession with and focus on his tongue, he still chewed and swallowed them whole.

It was clear that he was swallowing with great difficulty; Gustav's face was pale as green.

"Did you...eat food in the dungeon?"

Moreover, it seems to have been cooked beforehand, and some kind of bodily fluid was added as a seasoning.

Is this dungeon really this cruel? Luckily, I've already qualified and don't need to go in. That guy with the question mark is going to suffer terribly.

Gustaf let out a burp, the smell of which reminded Roddy of squatting in the toilet, and he quickly moved away.

Hua Yuan, who had been listening to the whole description, showed a disdainful expression. He not only moved away from Gustav, but also let go of Luo Di's arm.

Before they even reached the school, Teacher Guo walked over from across the street, looking at the jade pendant on Luo Di's body and the piglet in his arms with a look of satisfaction.

"Roddy, well done!"

"Teacher Guo, the comic book store owner wants you to come over."

"Alright! It seems he picked you up as soon as you came out. No wonder the vortex I set up at the entrance of Rose Manor didn't register. I'll go over there first. You find a place to rest."

We'll discuss the details about the dungeon when I return. I'll organize a school-wide meeting then to discuss this matter.

"it is good."

Teacher Guo left.

As for Gustav, seeing that the campus meeting was to be postponed, he didn't waste any time, since he had already tasted the new flavor.

"Roddy, I need to go to the Scream Hotel for an important event involving brain training and economic circulation. See you at the meeting."

"Oh... okay~ goodbye, Professor Gustav."

Before Roddy could finish speaking, Gustave had already disappeared.

Hua Yuan stretched and yawned to the side. She had been rushing to finish her manuscript these days. "Ah~ I'm so sleepy! Now I have to wait again. Judging from the shop manager's tone, he must have something important to discuss with Teacher Guo. He won't be back for a while."

Let's rest today; I haven't had much rest lately.

"How about I secretly take you to Wu Wen's place, like last time? No... you smell too strong hanging on me, we'll be found out."

"Go to school~ I was influenced by this eyeball a while ago and stayed in the school dormitory."

"The dorm? So it's just the two of us tonight?"

"Correct."

Hua Yuan lightly licked his lips with his tongue. "Okay... but you'll have to do a good job of oral hygiene later."

The two walked into the campus chatting and laughing, while the piglet in his arms became increasingly wary, feeling that danger lurked everywhere.

suddenly,

He sensed someone spying on him.

Suddenly, he turned his dark eye between his eyebrows toward the top floor of the academic affairs building.

However, his vision failed here, and he couldn't see through things... or rather, the result of his vision was strange, with only one large [?].

The Academic Affairs Building, the Director's Office.

A green-haired man with a question mark was standing at the window, while an elderly man with white hair and a gentleman's suit stood to the side.

As they watched Roddy enter the school, their questioning eyes had already unraveled the "secret" within him.
