Deep in the Living

Chapter 89 The Butcher on a Rainy Night
Pluto City

Deep in a little-known urban street, an out-of-control taxi crashed at the end of a dead end, the front of the car was completely deformed and thick smoke billowed.

There are residential buildings on one side of the street and a vertical wall over ten meters high on the other side. If you want to leave, there is only one way to go behind you.

The driver was dead, but the way he died was a little strange.

His pants were half off, and he was apparently trying to crawl from the passenger seat to the back seat, but the back of his head was hit.

Since the car door couldn't be opened, the woman sitting in the back seat had to break the window and climb out. She was shoeless and could only step on the broken glass with her soles, which pierced her soles.

Blood mixed with rainwater and flowed into the roadside sewer.

But the woman had no intention of stopping because of the pain and bleeding, she just wanted to leave quickly.

She kept cursing. She thought she could leave the city by taking a bus, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

As a "fake person", she has killed four people and has a lifespan of about a year.

But her "Fear Embodiment" does not bring much reality improvement, it is more used for releasing curses and long-distance dream control.

In reality, her body functions are only slightly higher than those of ordinary people.

If you accidentally encounter a group of vicious gangsters, your life may be in danger, let alone a dangerous guy like Rody.

Due to the loud noise caused by the car accident, more and more people gathered around, and there were already quite a few people standing at the exit of the alley.

Including sanitation workers on duty late at night, nightlife people who have just returned from bars, and some hard-working office workers who have just finished overtime.

Umbrellas of various colors and patterns crowded around the only exit of this one-way alley, blocking out what was happening outside.

"I have to get out of here quickly... I might as well just grab a car."

The woman wanted to ignore the crowd of onlookers, but her relatively sharp intuition sensed something, and her eyes turned to the back of the crowd, where there seemed to be a man in a raincoat whose face could not be seen.

§Danger§
From deep in the corner of my mind came a whisper of warning,
When the woman saw the man in the raincoat, she also felt the heat wave similar to that in her dream. It was clearly a rainy day, but it was so dry.

Being stuck in this alley with no exit, there is no way to escape.

She suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the crowd, and a middle-aged woman who was carrying a briefcase was grabbed.

Five fingers were inserted directly into the woman's neck, but did not touch the trachea and arteries.

"Give me a car! I'll let this woman go...quickly!"

Blood dripped along the finger that was inserted into the neck. The crowd of onlookers were frightened and retreated one after another. Only the mysterious man in the black raincoat was still standing there.

The woman stared at the other person's dark hood, and the light from the street lamp could only illuminate a mouth.

The mouth was slightly open.

It seems that you can see a tongue jumping inside.

The sound of tongue snapping spreads in the current area.

The man in the raincoat took heavy steps forward, and his body's center of gravity began to tilt forward.

The soles of his shoes stepped on the puddles without any pause, as if he didn't care about the life or death of the hostage at all. Or perhaps he knew that the other party only had the hostage as a bargaining chip, and if he killed him, the dead end would be there.

"I told you not to come over, why did you push it to this extent..."

The woman became more and more excited, and her fingers penetrated deeper and deeper, and were about to tear her trachea.

Whoosh!
As the distance shortens,
Under the cover of the sleeves,
Something was thrown out quickly.
Short-distance throwing of less than five meters is accurate and effective.

The high-speed rotating zombie knife completely cut off the woman's hand that was used for hostage-taking, and also pierced deeply into her chest.

The throwing force contained in the blade further pushed the woman backwards, and she even lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Snapped!
A lot of water was splashed.

The zombie knife stuck deep in the chest continued to release corpse poison, causing systemic infection and pain.

Just as the woman was about to pull out the knife, a strong hand suddenly reached up, grasped the handle, and pulled out the zombie knife for her.

However, the dark raincoat carrying the hot body also pressed on her at the same time.

It is somewhat similar to the scene on the rooftop in the dream, with both being in an up and down position, but what is going to happen next is completely different.

Complete despair made the woman give up struggling, and she even smiled, a relieved smile.

"I'm about to die in your hands... Although I didn't get to marry you, and we didn't have much contact, at least I did have some 'skin-to-skin contact', right?

We haven't formally introduced each other yet, can you tell me your name?"

"Di."

"Mr. Di? My daughter's name is..."

The other party was about to say his name, but Rody covered his mouth with his palm. "You don't need to tell your prey its name before it dies."

Swish!
The blade fell faster than raindrops.

Bright red flowed out.

Rody held a pituitary gland with cracks on its surface in his hand and put it in a small black bag he had prepared in advance. The hunt was over.

Just at this moment, several beams of light shone into the alley of this urban village, and personnel from the Investigation Bureau also rushed over.

Trainee investigator Marco also tried to walk in the front as much as possible. When he saw the scene deep in the alley, he was shocked and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He could intuitively feel the heavy murderous intent hidden in the rainy night.

He quickened his pace and walked towards the man in the raincoat who was sitting on the pseudo-human corpse.

Swallow your saliva, muster up your courage and put your hands together.

Swish!
The man in the raincoat suddenly turned his head and looked at Marco who was coming behind him with red eyes.

Although it was indeed Rody's face under the light, Marco was still startled. This was completely different from the young man he had met a few days ago.

Previously, he was a genius boy who had just come out of a mental hospital and was labeled a "connector". He looked a bit cold and quiet.

What he saw now was a terrifying being similar to a murderer.

"Mr. Marco."

"exist."

"Is the only person your investigation bureau uses to verify me just this kind of "fake person" who has just turned one year old?"

“Yes, it is mainly used to verify your nervous state. I believe you have experienced the real dream created by the other party using the curse.

Since you were able to remain normal and quickly completed the hunt for the fake person, it is sufficient to prove your mental condition and I can issue you a certificate of mental health.

of course,

We can still cooperate in the future. Although the possibility of corner cases appearing here is relatively small, there are also some very troublesome and dangerous incidents. "

"Do you need me to go back to the bureau with you to be investigated?"

"Mr. Di has completed the 'self-certification', and the credibility of this self-certification far exceeds that of test-taking and mechanical testing.

Thank you for your hard work. This kind of cursed pseudo-person is difficult to detect. It will take a lot of time and energy for us to track him down.

You should stay in the apartment and have a good rest during this period. When you have had enough rest, come to our bureau when you want to. The rules here are not that rigid.

The disposal of this fake person's body is left to us. Do you need me to drive you back?"

"no need."

"Goodbye, Mr. Di."

Rody didn't feel offended by Marco's habit of addressing him by his name, so he continued to call him that.

After waving goodbye, the man in the black raincoat quickly disappeared into the night.

Marco's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, but fortunately the rain helped cover it up.

"He's still so scary even with a broken hand. Is this the talent that Jupiter City has always emphasized? No wonder they want to keep Mr. Di at all costs. It's really scary. I have to work hard and strive to become a regular employee as soon as possible."

……

The heavy rain gradually faded away.

The first rays of sunlight in the early morning shone down.

Luo Di, who happened to be walking back to Chinatown, threw his raincoat into a trash can nearby, and bought two tea eggs, two fried dough sticks and two cups of soy milk at a newly opened breakfast shop.

I didn't sit at the stall to eat, but packed up and took it home.

The pace of returning home gradually became hurried, even more anxious than when hunting.

Seeing that the elevator was still upstairs and had not come down for a long time, Rody walked directly to the safety passage on the side. He walked very briskly and did not show any signs of fatigue from the all-night hunting last night.

click!
Close and lock the door, close the windows and curtains.

I found a white candle from the emergency box in the apartment and lit it on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Turn off all the lights, turn on your smart TV, borrow your internet membership and start streaming a new horror movie that looks pretty good.

A piece of paper towel was placed under the monitor and he was gently placed on it, facing the TV.

Place the soy milk, fried dough sticks and peeled tea eggs on the coffee table in front of you.

Breakfast starts.
While eating, Rody couldn't help but smile, even though the squad leader next to him didn't respond in any way.
