Deep in the Living

Chapter 779 Two vs. One
The list of selected candidates provided by Teacher Guo was quite strange.
Not only was Gustav puzzled, but many teachers present also found the result incomprehensible.

Grandmother and Jia Wen, for example, had long been prepared to go to the dungeon and had written down their wishes in detail, but ultimately they were not allowed to go.

On the contrary, it was Gustave, who had clearly stated that he would not go to the dungeon, who was chosen.

Just as the conference room descended into a noisy state, Teacher Guo stirred the air with his fingers, creating a vortex that absorbed all sound mediums, leaving only his own voice to travel through the vortex.

"Teachers who are willing to go to the dungeon but were not selected can come to me privately after the meeting, and I will explain the reasons in detail."

As for Professor Gustav, despite having the qualifications and refusing to go, he was still selected. I will explain this in detail here.

You may raise any objections at any time during my explanation.

The vortex stopped, the sound was no longer blocked, and only Teacher Guo's voice could be heard in the conference room.

"Since the establishment of the Fourth Middle School, you, Gusta, were among the first teachers responsible for teaching biology. According to a secret teacher satisfaction survey conducted among students last week, you ranked last."

Most students feel that you don't put any effort into teaching and are just wasting time. The only slightly useful teaching is in the early part of the semester, which is about sensory learning about the tongue.

Moreover, your class time is also the shortest, especially in the last month, your average class time has been perfectly kept to the minimum, which is 40 minutes.

"It won't be a second more; get out of class ends when the time is up."

"This one……"

Gustav knew perfectly well why he was in such a hurry to leave get out of class, but he couldn't explain it for the time being.

Teacher Guo then pointed to [2] with his finger, “In addition, since you moved into Vortex Town, your instincts as a monster have been fading away. Every day you lose your essence as a monster at the card table and lose the desire to explore the depths.”

I even regret letting you join because the organization was weak in the early stages.

"Wait... I have to disagree with that! Even though I'm at the card table, I've never lost my monster nature. My desire and pursuit of the tongue have never diminished."

Although I do spend a lot of time playing cards, I've been thinking about taking a proper break. I'll probably start my proper break tomorrow, no... next week.

Besides, doesn't the landlord play cards with me too?

Suddenly prompted by a comment, the fluffy avatar that the landlord had placed in the conference room immediately glared at him, and Gustav quickly used his special tongue to lick the other's thoughts.

"Don't be angry, landlord. It's really embarrassing that Xiao Guo only hired me."

Teacher Guo did not respond, but continued to point to the number [3] with her finger, "One last thing, if I'm not mistaken, your qualifications are being weakened."

Your laziness has been discovered by the authorities, and your qualification could be revoked at any time.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him, even Mr. Question Mark looked surprised.

Gustav was rendered speechless by the retort, his expression slowly turning strange as he retracted his tongue back to its deepest point.

He sat up straight and stared at Teacher Guo.

"Indeed... I've become quite lazy since arriving in Whirlpool Town."

After all, all you have to do is kneel at the Scream Hotel to get a delicious tongue to eat, and you can also ask your colleagues for even better tongues whenever there's a school meeting.

People,

Once you become happy, you tend to become lazy.

However, even if I do need to go to the dungeon, there's no need for me to be the first one there, right? There should be quite a few qualified teachers here who would like to switch places with me.

Can I go in a second or third batch?

"Among the first batch of personnel, you and Question Mark are the only two selected, and there is no room for negotiation."

Gustav stared at Teacher Guo, and the conference room space gradually became sticky.

Just as the atmosphere became strange,
Gustav suddenly relaxed his expression, his tongue sticking out again. "Alright~ alright~ when do we start?"

"We'll depart tomorrow."

"OK."

As the meeting ended, Gustave's gaze inadvertently met that of the question mark. That moment felt like a return to the early days in the corner, to the scene where they were all involved in the videotape incident.

For some reason, Gustav's mindset underwent a subtle change.

The laziness he had accumulated over this period was suddenly shed, the desire to play cards was completely gone, and even his overall spirit seemed to have improved. "Hmm? Teacher Guo, you're really amazing... Oh dear! I'd better prepare properly tonight. Last-minute cramming can still be somewhat useful."

Just as Gustav was about to leave, Teacher Guo said again, "Teachers who are free can go to the stands in the stadium now. There is a special exhibition match today."

Roddy will team up with Hunter for a deadly duel with the owner of Rose Manor.

Although Gustave was lazy and didn't care about many things, Roddy was different. This young man, who had inherited the mantle of the tongue to some extent, was very important to him.

Inside the stadium,

Not only Gustave arrived, but Mr. Question Mark, who will be taking action tomorrow, also came to the scene. As for the other teachers and students who were not selected, needless to say, they were all present.

However, many people's attention was neither on Hunter, the chef who was making rapid progress, nor on the mysterious Mr. Rose.

Most of them wanted to see what changes Roddy had undergone after coming out of the dungeon.

……

[Changing room]

Roddy put on his work boots, wiped his black spine, and did a preparatory exercise around his spine.

Hunter was also there, standing in front of the sink, rinsing his mouth with mint-flavored mouthwash.

Once his teeth were sparkling white, he softly asked:

"Roddy, this is a hard-won opportunity for you to fight, why do you want me to come along?"

I don't sense any fear in you; you've long been prepared to face things alone, which allows you to achieve maximum personal growth.

"And with so many teachers present, even if you're outmatched, your life won't be in danger."

click!
Roddy had already inserted the Black Ridge into his back and was ready.

"Because I tasted your flavor, Hunter, though it was faint and thin, but I did taste it... You haven't killed to your heart's content in a long time. Since you came to school, you have been restraining your primal desires that belong to monsters."

You are indeed able to control it effectively now.

However, it's necessary to release some tension occasionally; holding it in all the time can easily damage your health.

As the number one killer in the Black Gate, Mr. Rose is naturally the best target for release... Let's work together to enjoy this rare delicacy, and I will try my best not to hold you back.

Consider this a way of repaying a favor you've done.

Hunter didn't respond, but instead smiled in front of the bathroom mirror, where you could clearly see his gums forcefully supporting his teeth, making them look high above.

A few minutes later,

The two walked out together.

Inside the spacious stadium, Mr. Rose was already waiting on the opposite side, wearing the same mink coat and carrying the same hand axe.

Even before it started, a strange sense of oppression had already arrived.

Roddy dared not be negligent. He not only needed to exert all his strength, but also needed to make use of what he had gained in the dungeon, including that living creature.

“Mr. Rose, would you mind if I used a creature to enhance my senses? You’re too fast, I’m afraid I can’t keep up… It’s just to enhance my senses, it won’t interfere with my combat.”

"What's the point of asking? You got it yourself, so use it however you want."

With permission,

In the bag in front of Roddy, the pig-headed infant gradually disintegrated from its physical state, turning into wisps of black matter that crawled upwards, entered the right eye socket, and disappeared.

Soon,
A jet-black second pupil appeared from the corner of his eye, and his right eye exhibited a unique double pupil structure, making Roddy's vision clearer than ever before.

He could see a few rose petals falling around the other person.

This is not a demonstration of ability, nor is it a matter of field.

It was simply because he had killed too many people, so many that the accumulated murderous aura could be transformed into a blood-red color visible to the naked eye, appearing in the form of rose petals.
