Deep in the Living-Chapter 499 - 485: Cinematization

The scale of the Life Science College is much larger than the dormitory, composed of two tall buildings with elevators, reaching a total height of twelve stories. Conducting a comprehensive search would inevitably consume a lot of time.

In the second-floor corridor,

the team is running swiftly here, evading the Fog Man who might be catching up from the Security Room.

Even Mia, who relishes slaughter, has no intention of engaging in close combat at this moment. Upon seeing the Fog Man, both she and the saprotrophic organism within her are gripped by fear.

The other party is clearly not an existence of the same level as them, not even something that could be called a "monster," but something else entirely, an existence more purely associated with corners, which is the main cause of the current event.

Crackle, crackle!

The abandoned building, long since cut off from the power supply, sees its lights flickering on in the corridor.

More than that, the desktop computers in the offices on both sides of the corridor powered on simultaneously, with the monitors displaying half of a man’s face, mist forming from his breath.

"Get off this floor!"

They quickly halted their exploration of the floor, pausing briefly in the staircase.

Wu Wen hadn’t even caught her first breath when she began analyzing the current situation, "This isn’t a viable solution. It’s not just televisions. The opponent can also manifest directly through ’media’ similar to TV.

And when we want to investigate, we surely need to access relevant computers and inspect files.

As it stands, our actions are tantamount to a deadlock.

The sole advantageous aspect is that no matter how many computers and televisions are affected, only one Fog Man can form, not multiple... Therefore, my suggestion is to split up.

If the opponent pursues one of us, the others will have time to search for clues, and once a critical clue related to the fog or remains is found, shout it out loud, and everyone will leave together afterward."

Mia touched her heart beside her, "That’s the only option. Luckily, I have two lives now, hopefully, I can survive."

Luo Di, however, sat on the steps, not voicing an opinion immediately.

He gazed at his palm until slight blood hole structures appeared on the surface... recalling the experiences in the morgue, recalling the sensation of the mist within him.

He made a decision, proposing a starkly different notion,

"In the horror movies I’ve watched, the taboo is always to split up. We might all end up dead.

Since the opponent can manifest directly through any screen media, if we split up and research information on different computers,

if that guy suddenly abandons his pursuit target and turns towards someone operating a computer, it would achieve ’zero distance’ contact instantly."

Wu Wen, leaning against the wall, cast a glance, "Do you have a better plan?"

"I have one..."

"What?"

"I’ll face him head-on. Last time, I hit him over the head with a bat, he should hold a grudge. As long as I don’t die, he shouldn’t chase you.

Find the ’clues’ related to the fog as quickly as you can, the only one who needs to act alone is me."

"Do you have a death wish? The day before yesterday in the morgue, you were almost like half a dead man in less than two minutes." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Do you have a better plan?"

Luo Di retorted with the same words, leaving Wu Wen at a loss for words.

She had been hiding something throughout this temporary cooperation, always concealing something real. She was well aware that the essence of the "videotape" was a kind of selection, much like a corner.

If this young man were to die here, the likelihood of her ultimately uncovering the truth of the mist and gaining victory would be somewhat higher.

For some reason,

watching the young man in front of her willingly sacrifice himself, a slight tremor stirred in her heart, as if something similar had happened at some point in the past.

Her body even began to step forward, intending to carry out an act that contradicted her desire for survival.

She wished to assist, believing that cooperation between the two would increase the survival rate more than an individual action, also buying more time.

"Let me help..."

Yet just as she suggested, Luo Di raised his hand to stop her.

"Mia probably doesn’t understand computers very well, making it ineffectively slow to find relevant clues. You two must work together.

Even if I can’t hold on, Mia can still buy you a little time.

I alone am enough, I’m different now than I was the day before yesterday, and having been through the morgue, I have a deeper understanding of the Fog Man, maybe I’ll survive this."

"You..."

Just as they were locking eyes,

a wisp of light golden hair suddenly floated over,

soft lips pressed against his unexpectedly! A forceful tongue, like a blade, sliced directly into Luo Di’s tightly sealed teeth, unstoppable.

Seemingly petite and cute Mia,

actually imbued everything with a slaughter attribute.

Pressed down on the steps, his mouth slaughtered, Luo Di maintained eye contact with Wu Wen, his eyes full of helplessness.

The latter merely smiled lightly and shifted her gaze aside.

Mia’s "onslaught" quickly ended, she knew very well there wasn’t much time, and staying in the staircase was also filled with danger.

Retracting the "axe blade" and swallowing the surface "blood," her eyes fixed on Luo Di,

"Whatever you do, don’t die... I still want to see after this is all over what kind of relationship we really have. If it’s adversarial, I seriously want to have a good fight to see whose slaughtering techniques are superior."

Luo Di merely gave a faint smile, "Go."

Mia picked up an iron bucket,

Wu Wen crawled along the wall,

and the two swiftly ascended the stairs.

Luo Di adjusted his breathing, spitting out a fresh insect egg from within, sticking it to the railing in the corridor.

He felt the increasing flow of blood inside him, walked alone downwards back to the hall.

This place was the most spacious, the most suitable location to buy time.

Unexpectedly, there was a glint of anticipation in Luo Di’s eyes, this seemingly ’self-sacrificing’ action, even harboring a willingness to die, actually held some degree of self-interest.

Since the Blood Bible could prevent "internal weather," he wanted to face the Fog Man one more time.

For a fleeting moment,

perhaps it was intuition,

perhaps his body sensed something,

Luo Di felt the true clue, or rather the true key to unraveling the mystery of the fog and leaving this videotape, was hidden within the dense fog.

If he could thoroughly understand this Fog Man, maybe he could obtain intelligence unknown to others.

He understood from the beginning, all eight individuals on the train were in a competitive relationship.

Breathing out ashes~

The overcast campus sky slowly revealed a crescent moon.

Moonlight shone into the abandoned building, illuminating the hall below.

For a moment, it seemed the entire hall was undergoing a transformation, like a layer of 1980s film filter had been added. If someone happened to stand at the doorway and look, it would feel as if the entire scene was watching a movie.

[Cinematic Effect]

Crack, crack, crack~ Bones lengthened, flesh strengthened.

Luo Di unexpectedly began to undergo physical changes under the influence of a cinematic domain.

This time,

he didn’t amplify his Hell Ability as he did in the cellar, exhibiting the [Great Demon Form] he could currently achieve. That form was indeed powerful, but it wasn’t favored in such uneven confrontations.

No matter how formidable the body, it would still be erased by the dense fog.

To delay enough time, to have a deeper understanding of the Fog Man, what he needed was not mighty combat skills and extreme heat,

but "undying".

After experiencing massive blood loss, Luo Di could finally integrate the Blood Bible and his own undead trait to a certain degree.

This was the true reason he felt confident facing things alone.

In a blink,

under the moon’s influence,

the hall transformed into a lakeside, with the Security Room becoming a lakeside cabin broadcasting a TV program.

Both the lake’s surface and the shore were rippling,

wearing a hockey mask, clad in a canvas work coat, boots of rubber, Luo Di stepped onto the lakeside.

Except whether it’s the lake or the shore,

everything offers a movie-like sensation to any observer standing at the entrance.
