Deep in the Living-Chapter 493 - 479 Lurking and Disguise

"Hmm? Doesn’t this hospital ever close?"

The four of them were hiding in a small grove beside the hospital.

They expected that most hospital staff would finish work at night, making it easier for them to sneak in.

Unexpectedly, almost every office in the campus hospital displayed faint lights, with occasional nurses and doctors moving around, as if the staff here completely lacked the need for rest.

Wu Wen softly explained, "This is where the [place] is not entirely normal, you can’t analyze it completely by common sense. I’ve visited newspapers with similar situations before.

Try to sneak in without being noticed."

Luo Di asked, "What if we just force our way in?" freёweɓnovel_com

"If you actively increase the ’Chaos Value,’ the Chaos Value across the entire area will increase simultaneously. What looks like a normal campus will soon be riddled with danger, pushing the timeline forward by several days.

I attempted something similar at a newspaper, where upon being discovered while sneaking into the archives to view material, I was forced to kill a janitor.

Merely killing one ’ordinary person’ resulted in a surge in the newspaper’s Chaos Value, almost causing an incident.

So, you murderers should restrain yourselves a bit, don’t kill those ’ordinary people’ who aren’t a threat, try to wait until danger approaches before making a move."

Luo Di could accept that point, but Mia might be difficult to communicate with, especially since they teamed up through killing.

Unexpectedly, Mia had already reigned in her killing intent and actively responded,

"I’m not interested in killing ordinary people. You two should hurry and figure out how to sneak in. I’m not very good at this kind of covert action; I’ll leave it to you guys."

As Luo Di was pondering how to infiltrate with everyone, Wu Wen simply walked directly towards the campus hospital, signaling for them to wait in place.

Five minutes later, Wu Wen returned.

"The mortuary is set in the basement of the campus hospital, the stairs can’t reach it, and it’s only accessible via the sole elevator.

Moreover, the elevator itself requires card verification, needing either a hospital Corpse Transporter or a doctor at the director level or above."

The efficiency with which Wu Wen gathered this information was indeed impressive, as Luo Di looked at her in surprise, "Mind control?"

"Not at all, I’m a student at this school, so I just went inside the hospital to ask, didn’t I?"

"Wu Wen, you seem quite adept at this? Are your Disguise abilities very strong?"

Faced with this question, Wu Wen hesitated for a fraction of a second before smiling, "We monsters in the Pseudo-Person stage all have some degree of disguise. I’m okay, but my primary focus is on [water]."

"Do you have a way to get us all in?"

Wu Wen shook her head, "Unless we deal with the personnel here, it’s impossible, especially with this incapacitated sister in the metal barrel.

I can infiltrate through the water flow, but I need one of you to get into the underground mortuary and turn on the faucet there.

Who among you can sneak in?"

Luo Di gritted his teeth and accepted the mission, "I’ll give it a try. Although my ability system is primarily focused on killing, I seem to have been taught ’disguise’ by someone before.

I’ll take a walk inside the hospital, see if I can encounter a Corpse Transporter.

I’ll mentally control them with the sea water, trap them in a utility room for a while. This shouldn’t cause the ’Chaos Value’ to rise, right?"

"As long as everything appears normal, it should be fine."

"Alright, I’m off." Luo Di smoothly handed the metal barrel to Mia, "This time the mortuary operation will be carried out by Wu Wen and me.

Mia, stay outside. If we encounter any danger, you can come in to assist us."

"Not very good."

Mia had originally envisioned teaming up with Luo Di as ’Murderer Couple’ within the campus to boldly declare sovereignty. Who knew her first mission needed her to be excluded, giving the other two a chance for alone time.

Luo Di could naturally see through her thoughts, moving closer, "This type of stealth action isn’t suited for you. Once the whole campus becomes dangerous and complex, we’ll kill together."

"Alright~"

Mia took the metal barrel, while Luo Di held his stomach, acting as if he felt unwell from eating the wrong thing, heading to the campus hospital.

About ten minutes passed.

A man over fifty, wearing a "Corpse Transporter" badge, appeared in sight, pushing a freshly dissected corpse, entering the elevator.

Using the metal reflection inside the elevator, one could faintly see the Corpse Transporter’s face seemingly moving with tentacles, his pupils also faintly glowing gray.

It was Luo Di’s doing.

The so-called [-1 Floor] seemed deep, roughly equivalent to the time it takes for the elevator to ascend five floors.

The corpse Luo Di was responsible for transporting had a green tag on its right toe, containing basic information like name, and even printed the word ’safe.’

Ding!

The elevator doors opened.

Claustrophobic, cold, oppressive.

The white lights struck the cold white tiles, attempting to use white to dye darkness, but instead created an anomalous cold light tone, making the place even more sinister.

The width of the corridor is almost equal to the elevator door, with a feeling of being about to squeeze someone flat.

Luo Di originally thought he needed to transport the corpse to a very deep area, but after walking a short distance... Ding!

A green light lit up overhead,

corresponding to a door on the side that opened automatically.

The lighting perfectly matched the color of the corpse tag. This ordinary corpse just needed to be placed in this room, without having to go further.

Inside sat an elderly night watchman on duty today. He looked nearly seventy, with almost all his hair gone, sitting in a daze with a blank expression.

"Place the trolley against the wall, and you can leave."

"Okay."

Luo Di placed the trolley, and as he was about to leave, he suddenly covered his stomach, his face full of discomfort, "Sorry, I ate something bad tonight ~ feeling it’s hard to hold it in, can I sort it out downstairs?"

"You seem a bit odd today, did you drink?"

The old man suddenly twisted his face, turning his somewhat pale eyes over, staring dead at the Corpse Transporter standing in front.

At the same time,

tentacles wriggled, and red hues immediately flushed Luo Di’s face, with the smell of alcohol coming from his mouth.

"You’ve drunk a lot! Hurry up, don’t throw up in the elevator!

Warning you, don’t lose your head and run deep inside. Dying won’t be much trouble, but we’ll have to recruit again."

"Alright... I’ll leave shortly."

Luo Di held his stomach, continuing along the narrow underground corridor towards the depths, soon seeing the restroom sign.

Yet, the corridor of this underground mortuary continued to extend without an end in sight.

Gazing into the depths, Luo Di could smell a strong uneasy sensation.

[Men’s Room]

After ensuring there was no one else present, Luo Di turned on the faucet, carefully observing the flow of water.

He waited for a long time without seeing anything emerge from the pipe, but the sink seemed somewhat blocked.

Luo Di looked towards the bottom of the sink,

and saw that the drain was completely blocked by a bunch of black hair, some of which were gradually floating up, forming a black mass on the water surface.

As the sink was about to overflow,

an odd noise came from inside the faucet as if something was approaching! After a brief blockage — clattering!

A large number of crushed internal organs mixed with fish scales sprayed out from within the faucet, causing the sink to overflow and seep water outward.

Buzz... Buzz...

The lights began to flicker.

With each flicker,

the internal organs and black hair mixed more and more until a fair, wet long leg stepped out from the sink, landing before Luo Di, gently flicking the wet hair.

Pale and moist lips actively came close.

Slap!

A hand clapped onto Luo Di’s fifty-year-old cheeks for a closer look.

"Your Disguise..."

Wu Wen found it strange,

as Luo Di’s disguise techniques were very similar to hers, even the usage of the pituitary gland was somewhat similar, despite their completely different pituitary types.

Luo Di frowned, completely unprepared for the other’s "water transmission" to be so exaggerated.

"Does your flesh need to be completely crushed to be transmitted?"

"Otherwise? If I could fully liquefy, it wouldn’t be on the same level as you.

By the way, who taught you your disguise? A Murderer disguising so well, despite some flaws, but still good enough to fool many people.

Not just the appearance, even the actions, expressions, and tone are unconsciously imitating. You seem to have done this often before?"

"Don’t know ~ Relevant memories are sealed."

Wu Wen’s curiosity also intensified, "Sealed again? If we survive this incident, we must get to know you well... Let’s move quickly."

"Outside, there’s only one corridor leading inward; going straight would expose us."

Wu Wen pointed to a ventilation opening at the top of the restroom.

"Try the ventilation route, maybe we can climb to the innermost part, after all, there can be no natural ventilation underground, and these ducts likely extend throughout every area underground."
