Deep in the Living-Chapter 21 - 19 Desperate Situation
Chapter 21: Chapter 19 Desperate Situation
If everyone had chosen the metal box related to the clanging sound and demons from the beginning, they would have surely made the necessary preparations and countermeasures.
Now, however,
without any preparation, completely sudden, and placed right behind a zombie, the class leader was severely injured upon their first encounter.
And being only high school sophomores, they lack experience in dealing with intangible anomalies such as this. Even though they studied demon-related knowledge in school, it was merely theoretical.
According to the teachings at school,
once an individual is possessed by a demon-type 'anomaly', the only way to not harm the possessed person is [Exorcism].
Since Luo Di and others live in a city primarily dominated by Huaxia, the presence of demon-like Pseudo-Persons is rare, almost non-existent, and general schools do not offer in-depth teaching of this subject. Systematic education usually takes place after their Admissions.
However, nerdy students like Gao Yuxuan still researched privately, his brain working rapidly.
In his view, Anna, a student from a top school from Su nationality, should have gone through specialized training and possibly prepared tools to combat demons in advance.
He quickly rummaged through Anna's backpack and indeed found a Russian version of the [Bible], with a metal cross tucked inside.
When the Bible was found,
Anna, who lay in bed possessed, merely kept a smile, showing no signs of alertness to any imminent danger.
Gao Yuxuan casually tossed the Russian Bible into Luo Di's hands.
"Don't you need it?"
"I can recite it... Quickly flip to Psalm 91, read along with me, we can pray for God's protection and to expel the evil; it should suppress the demon inside Anna to some extent and protect our mental state, giving us time until professionals from the institute arrive."
Once Luo Di flipped to the corresponding Chapter,
Gao Yuxuan pointed the cross at Anna on the bed,
Together, the two recited in Russian: "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty ..."
However, such recitation only caused Anna to burst into laughter, the ashes filling the room did not diminish at all, and the temperature continued to rise.
"Ha ha~ really such a good child, fond of reading. You're not believers, might not even have been to a church, and are far from clergy.
You don't believe yet you seek the power of the 'one above', it's hilarious.
Right now, there's nothing you can do.
You might as well leave like Wenwen, there might be a sliver of a chance for survival.
But you don't seem like such heartless people, you probably won't leave this poor girl here alone, will you?"
The demonic words uttered by Anna did not disrupt their recitation; it was their only and best method of exorcism after all.
The continued recitation didn't seem to discomfort Anna, but the smile on her face gradually closed, turning into one of disgust and nausea.
"Enough!"
A roar erupted from the tip of Anna's tongue; even the master bedroom's vanity mirror cracked from it.
"Listening to these disgusting words makes me nauseous! Stop disgusting me, otherwise when it reaches 'Complete Fusion' I won't kill you that easily.
Instead, I'll slowly carve each tendon and piece of flesh from your bodies."
At this moment, one of Anna's eyes also began to change; her normally sized pupil swiftly shrank down to the size of a grain, the rest overwhelmed by the white of her eye.
And beneath her tongue, another small, thin tongue sprouted,
This change seemed to indicate that the [Possession] had progressed further, the demon inside her exerting a stronger influence on reality.
Luo Di, who was reading the Bible, also froze for a moment because he saw a tongue emerging between the pages of the book, even gently licking on his fingers holding the book.
It wasn't the anticipated soothing and sticky touch, but an extremely bizarre feeling,
As if the surface of the tongue was covered with countless tiny baby arms, sticking, pulling at Luo Di, trying to drag him into the depths of Hell,
The Bible slipped out of hand,
dropping onto the scorched ground and turned into ashes.

Luo Di looked at the Bible burned to ashes on the ground, witnessing the possession situation that was unaffected and even worsened, a particular plan emerged in his heart.
He immediately turned towards Gao Yuxuan, signaling with his eyes for him to stop reciting the Bible.
The recitation ceased, and all fell silent,
Anna's tongue continuously slapped up and down in her mouth, as if clapping and cheering, "Huh~ you've finally quieted down.
Complete Possession is still a while away, let me see your "essence," and kill some time.
Let's start with you, the glasses-wearing boy who likes reading books and knows how to do acupuncture."
Her granular eyes stared intensely at Gao Yuxuan, as if they could see through his soul and discern his thoughts.
"Oh! Favored son of the heavens, you have been held high since childhood, both physically and intellectually, and had the chance to enter a prestigious high school directly affiliated with the company.
Unfortunately, an accident occurred just before your admissions test, causing some issues with your left hand and severely affecting your test scores, which ultimately led you to enroll in an ordinary high school and fall into self-doubt, with the condition of your arm continuing to deteriorate.
You paid a significant price for a prosthetic limb, only to encounter an anomaly like me.
How do you feel now?
Just when you were about to climb out of the abyss,
Just when you could have proven yourself in next year's admissions exam with the success of this practice,
now you're about to perish in this practice's anomaly.
Your proudly regarded 'talent' is about to be personally laid to rest by me, are you beginning to feel despair?
The taste of despair is very delicious, I can't wait to place my tongue in your mouth to savor it thoroughly, wondering how delicious it would be."
When Gao Yuxuan's experiences were verbally articulated by the demon, there was no significant change in his expression, only gently touching his glasses with his index finger.
He had tasted the flavor of death and experienced the abyss of despair, but he had come to terms with it a year ago.
Now, he was only focused on the current situation, considering how to break through.
He also harbored doubts, wondering why, after so long, employees from the research institute had not yet arrived. His gaze occasionally flicked to the door, expectant of someone's arrival.
"Maybe they won't come anymore..."
Luo Di's sudden remark took Gao Yuxuan aback,
'Waiting for rescue'
This was the basis for all of Gao Yuxuan's current actions; if this ultimate survival strategy was negated, he would fall into a complete mental deadlock.
Upon reflection, Luo Di's conclusion did have some basis,
If such a basic mistake had occurred in the research institute, it implied internal problems, and even the staff might be in danger, leaving no time to address their emergent situation.
Even if they were to address it, they would have to wait until the institute's internal situation stabilized.
Gao Yuxuan's expression became blank, unsure of what to do at the moment.
Lying in bed, Anna continued her hellish declamation: "You're right, those people from the research institute probably won't come. My appearance here isn't just due to a technical error.
Now, let me look at this quiet boy who likes to play the hero."
Anna's head mechanically rotated on her neck,
with her eyes shifting toward Luo Di, and when the granular pupils landed on him,
the possessed Anna's expression instantly changed—becoming puzzled, curious, and excited.
"...Such a peculiar human!"
