Deep in the Living-Chapter 212 - 202: Goodbye

The spine rotating at high frequency gradually came to a stop.

Even with the cover of the investigator’s coat, one could glimpse Luo Di’s emaciated body.

All the flesh and blood of his entire body had been used as fuel for this battle, almost completely burning himself out.

Staggering,

Just as his body was about to topple forward, Luo Di managed to brace himself at the last moment... because he knew things were not yet completely over.

At that moment.

A high-concentration injection from the nursing home was plunged into Luo Di’s neck.

With the injection of the liquid, Luo Di’s fatigue was temporarily curtailed, and his body regained a bit of energy.

However, to fully recover, he must go to a regular hospital and need a long rest.

But before Luo Di could lift his head,

The team leader ran off, not fleeing but moving on his own initiative toward Hua Yuan.

He took out the pre-prepared syringe,

Three of them,

Each written with a sister’s name.

Each could provide the best recovery for the sisters’ specific physical condition.

Hua Yuan didn’t say much, immediately found the syringe bearing Shea’s name, and injected the still wriggling Zombie flesh to ensure that the vital signs were preserved, so that this lump of flesh could be taken to the Corner in a fresh state.

After Hua Yuan completed the injection and just when he wanted to say something,

The girl with the golden short hair had already vanished without a trace, not even leaving the slightest sign.

"Tch~ perfectly integrating Isabella’s space with your Disguise, attaining a higher level of space manipulation... [Disguised Space]. No wonder why grandmother was so fond of you, really interesting~ Just don’t let me bump into you in the Corner, Wu Wen, or else I will definitely take you down."

At the same time as the team leader left.

A round of applause came from the other side of the beach,

The grandmother walked along the beach in the same form, her hat veil completely covering her body.

Although she was still a hundred meters away, the grandmother’s hands were already caressing everyone, not just one hand, but many, almost touching every part of their bodies.

Especially the number of hands sprouting from Luo Di’s body was the most.

The hand touching his cheek grew mouth-like structures in its palm.

"Mr. Di, there’s no need to be afraid, I’m not so aged that I can’t see through your identity... Thank you very much for your assistance; otherwise, my dear granddaughters might have all died here.

I owe you a favor here, and when you head to the Corner in the future, the sisters can offer you a one-time complimentary [Lodging]."

As she spoke, the grandmother was already standing beside Luo Di.

A different kind of aura from the assembly room was being released, an oppressive and exceedingly dangerous atmosphere.

If the Monster Avatar they had just defeated represented an unknown Fear, the grandmother’s presence brought about a physical Fear.

The grandmother continued, "In the ensuing time, while my Avatar has not yet departed, you will need to stay with me. We need to have a thorough talk about you and Wu Wen. If possible, help me find her location—I can’t bear to lose such an outstanding granddaughter.

It seems I, as a grandmother, really don’t know her well enough.

Alright then.

As the colors fade away, the plight of this island has become known to humans. Investigators from Mingwang City should all be heading towards this island; let’s prepare to leave."

Standing on the beach, gazing out to sea.

It seems there are indeed several lights from ships in the direction of Mingwang City, still far away, but the grandmother could easily take everyone away effortlessly.

Just as the grandmother was satisfied with the outcome and even looking forward to enjoying Mr. Di’s massage services in the coming days,

Suddenly something floated down from the night sky.

Not just the grandmother,

But also Hua Yuan,

The Eye sister residing inside their bodies,

And even Shea, who was just a lump of flesh, all felt a Huge threat.

A threat different from the island, different from the Pseudo-Person, a threat capable of directly menacing their lives.

The hanging veil from the grandmother’s body were all lifted, spreading out like an umbrella, as the sisters hurriedly took shelter underneath.

Their gazes turned to the sky, towards that threatening object.

A piece of yellow paper,

With talisman drawn on it in ink.

As they saw the first piece of yellow paper, the sky filled with descending yellow paper, dense and incessant, like rain.

On the beach, atop a boulder.

A young man dressed in a Daoist Robe, wearing round black sunglasses, was sitting there, unnoticed until now, pushing his shades as he looked their way.

"Although I arrived as things were nearing an end, through your conversation and piecing together the characters, I’ve pretty much understood the situation here.

Thank you very much for helping to deal with the major hidden danger on this island.

"Given your ’merits’ this time, I’ll let you off, but I’ll still submit the information about the [Sisterhood]~ It’s just that Mr. Di is my beloved friend, and he can’t go with you."

The grandmother’s hands that covered her face were all moved aside, and with eye pupils still in the shape of palms, she gazed at the person, discerning something vaguely from him. She didn’t make a move but also had no intention of compromising.

The grandmother was very persistent regarding Luo Di.

A special force field was released,

and the sand around grandmother began to tremble, followed by two huge hands rising from both left and right, their size ample enough to "cradle" all the sisters, including Luo Di.

Just as the two hands were about to close.

"Miss Lin, I’ll say it once more... Mr. Di is my beloved friend."

Without any means of attack, without any aura of intimidation.

Just by uttering that sentence amidst the drifting yellow paper talismans, calling out the name or code related to grandmother.

At that moment, the closing hands stopped altogether.

An invisible force rapidly assaulted the Taoist youth on the stone.

Snap!

Two burgeoning hands grew from the youth’s neck, grasping it as if intending to strangle him to death.

But the next second,

the talismans falling from the sky, as if attracted, gathered towards the burgeoning hands, scorching them to nothingness.

The act of strangling was ceased.

The youth’s collar loosened thus, exposing his entire neck and part of his shoulder, and near the chest below the neck seemed to be hiding a special mark.

The grandmother also saw this mark at first glance, as if some unpleasant memories had surfaced in her mind.

All threats were withdrawn, and no longer did she attack the youth.

"Mr. Di, humans do value you a lot, to the point that they even sent such a person over. There’s nothing I can do. My avatar won’t stay here for long, and after this incident, the Sisterhood will be completely reformed.

I would really like to hear your story with Wu Wen, and I would like to have your company a bit longer, but there’s no helping it.

This island incident ended with everyone’s survival, and moreover, everyone has gained a higher insight into their promotion before moving up. The rewards are quite substantial.

Goodbye, Mr. Di."

The burgeoning hands on Luo Di’s body all disappeared, freeing him. He walked towards the other end of the beach, a trace of a smile flickered at the corner of his mouth but was unnoticed by anyone.

The next encounter might already be in [Corner], and perhaps the purposes of both sides will have changed.

As Luo Di had not gone far,

a girl’s voice came from behind.

"Di, you must remember to come to the Corner and kill me in the future... A person like me must be killed by you."

Luo Di did not respond verbally, but simply slowly lifted his right hand over his shoulder, intending to make an OK gesture but ultimately waved goodbye instead.

As the giant hands constructed by the grandmother fully enclosed the sisters.

Their presence completely vanished from the island.

Now, Luo Di had reached the beach where Yu Ze was located.

The latter was smoking a cigarette lit with special Soothing Talismans rolled around special tea leaves, sobering up his mind, organizing his chaotic thoughts, then slid his sunglasses up.

What was revealed was not the carefree squinting eyes but a pair of eyes that could kill, and he began to speak in standard Mandarin without any dialect accent:

"Fellow villager.

Turns out you called me over not to deal with the danger, but instead to act as your ’witness’, to confirm that you have dealt with this major event so it can be an important addition to your file.

And by the way, to cover yours and that mysterious girlfriend’s bases."

"Although I’m not clear why your girlfriend wants to sever ties with the Sisterhood, I am very clear that I have been used as a tool.

Given that you have indeed helped a lot this time, let’s let this slide... but regarding the assessment of your heart, I will report truthfully, and subsequent psychological assessments may intensify."

Yu Ze also showed the number [1].

"There won’t be a next time.

Alright, tell me the detailed events that happened."

Luo Di did not respond to anything, not because he didn’t want to, but because he didn’t even have the strength to utter a single word. Just being able to stand until now and walk toward Yu Ze had already been his limit.

His pupils unfocused,

he crashed down,

which rather caught Yu Ze off guard, who hastily supported him, only to feel that his weight was no more than 60 pounds. Luo Di’s body was almost drained, his life force weak.

"Damn it~ not only do I have to cover for you, but now I have to take you, my fellow villager, to the hospital. What a duty this has been. But, looking at you like this, it seems like you were indeed prepared to die.

Fellow villager, why exhaust yourself like this~ how much do they pay you?"

Yu Ze complained briefly, then drew a Corpse Chasing Talisman, firmly affixed it to Luo Di’s forehead, and the energy of the talisman spurred his body to lift his arms like a zombie, following his lead as they hopped towards the pier.
