Deep in the Living-Chapter 513 - 499 Explosion

[Wenslim City - Sewer]

La la la~♪

A melody that’s both joyful and sleep-inducing hums from a mouth smeared with red paint, seemingly helping the things below to sleep, while also expressing the person’s excitement.

In his hand, he holds a huge balloon,

The bottom of the balloon leaks slightly, letting out a faint mist,

but overall it remains well sealed, revealing a vague, slender humanoid silhouette lying inside.

The Joker, Joke,

ever since he got the coin, he has been active in the sewer area; no one knows it better than him, and all plans have been laid out.

He is currently using the sewer to leave the city area and move towards the outskirts, to the [Pure White Forest].

The chef Hunter, who was previously active in this area, has departed; no one will find this place, giving him ample time to absorb this corpse and acquire the complete Mist System.

He lifts the manhole cover,

and continues to traverse the Mist Forest,

circling to a wooden hut that has been burned down, lifting the charred wood panels to a pre-marked underground chamber, already smothered by balloons below.

Whew~

This place is already far from the park area, separated by several zones, with balloons set up along the way for surveillance; everything is as planned perfectly.

Even so,

before accepting the corpse, Joke tosses a coin once to ask if it’s suitable to start now.

As the coin gives a positive response, Joke’s face again shows an excited smile.

Once this mist corpse is completely processed, the incident will end entirely, and the videotape will stop playing, making him the biggest beneficiary.

Ensure the balloon membrane covers the entire basement, insulating a completely independent space.

He takes out the corpse from within the balloon and lays it flat on the ground.

A specially prepared straw is brought out, resembling a jumbo straw used for bubble tea.

Just as he holds the straw, ready to poke it into the corpse... Buzz!

A faint ringing sound comes, followed closely by a feeling of being watched from behind, identical to the sensation from the museum, even the direction is the same.

Joke whips his head around,

only to see an iron barrel in the corner of the basement, with a girl lying inside, sleeping with closed eyes.

He completely overlooked this, even the newly obtained coin couldn’t accurately predict the girl.

For the first time.

Joke feels intense discomfort during this event, even his heartbeat accelerates slightly.

Reason tells him he just needs to quickly absorb the mist remnants, which can be completed in roughly ten minutes, regardless of the girl behind him; he will be the ultimate winner.

Thinking of this,

Joke directly inserts the straw into the corpse’s neck,

and quickly seals his lips over it, intending to suck when the girl’s face flashes between his thoughts again, while his neck senses a cold breath.

A strong urge to kill the girl aggressively floods his mind, stuffing each balloon within.

As a monster, his negative emotions are fully triggered, broken images land and take root in his mind.

The thought of ’kill first, then process the corpse’ has formed.

Joke stands up,

spitting out a balloon and blowing it into a hand saw structure.

Straightaway goes to the iron barrel, tipping the girl out from it.

Looking at this perfect body that could only appear in a painting evokes an even stronger dissection desire in Joke’s mind.

He squats down, forgetting all sorts of strange tricks and only remembers the most basic cutting and chopping.

The hand saw falls on the girl’s arm, just about to begin when—

Snap!

A balloon explodes inside the basement.

This is the "safety balloon" Joke set up, linked to his essence.

No matter how he is attacked, even by remote mental invasion, this balloon will explode as a warning.

The sound resonates with Joke’s nature,

and his balloon-structured pituitary starts to expand, pulling him out from the strong dissection urge.

Buzz!

Consciousness returns to normal,

when he looks at the girl on the ground again, only sensing endless threat. He quickly hovers a balloon while simultaneously distancing himself.

At the same time,

the girl opens her eyes, a faint smile hangs at the corners of her mouth, rising in a casual stance that’s almost anti-human, as those balloons surrounding the basement start crackling, like constant warnings.

As she stretches lazily, her body cracks open in multiple places, from which densely packed flower pistils emerge, weaving the school uniform she loves most.

"I seem to have slept for a long time, seems a man was protecting me, and you seem like a thief, stealing his things.

But you’re quite interesting to withstand the Abyss’s pull.

Come, kill me... Isn’t that your monster kind’s favorite thing to do?

Right, I’m called Hua Yuan, flower for ’flower’, Abyss for ’yuan.’"

Hua Yuan spreads her arms, moving forward voluntarily, without expressing any hostility, just as she said, she hopes the other party can kill her.

Joke has already reclaimed the mist corpse, his eyes never turning to this girl.

He takes out a needle and sticks it into his own body.

Pa!

The body, along with the corpse in his hand, exploded like a balloon, shattering into pieces, but there was no blood or body tissue, only scattered rubber skin.

The next second,

Joker had already moved to a smiling face balloon outside the basement, still holding the corpse in his hand.

With a snap of his fingers,

The basement collapsed immediately, wrapped and sealed with a balloon film.

He intended to leave this place quickly, heading to a second emergency location, however...

Rustle, rustle, rustle! Between the trees, that girl walked out.

Joker roughly guessed the opponent’s ability. He was completely locked in and unable to escape.

Since this was the case,

He directly used his mouth to hold the straw on the corpse, intending to absorb it like this. The effect might be a bit poor, but this was his only option now.

Meanwhile, Joker also slowly floated into the air, holding the balloon to minimize the impact from the girl as much as possible.

Who would have known, he had just inhaled a small piece of flesh when he felt something stick to his body.

Long slender arms grew from his back,

And heads of varying sizes belonging to the girl also emerged, sticking to Joker, opening their mouths wanting to taste the corpse together.

And the girl’s "main body" in the forest bore a smile, her voice clearly conveying:

"I woke up in the exhibition hall, which I covered in pollen, and you were the first to walk in, getting covered the most in pollen.

I’ve already planted seeds in you. Although your body stinks like rubber, and you’re quite ugly."

The girl’s flesh on Joker’s body increased, almost burying him.

Just as he was about to activate the pituitary gland to clear out all that flesh,

A figure suddenly shot out from the forest, levitating in the air, appearing in front of him.

A palm strike!

Just a palm!

Pa!

A huge ripple in the air spread out.

The girl’s structure on Joker’s body was shattered instantly, and even Joker himself was torn apart by the force of the palm, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The newcomer was Lebeite.

Anything internally touched by him would be marked, including this corpse. As Joker escaped from the basement, he immediately locked onto the precise location and arrived.

Currently,

He presented the same perfect posture as in the battle with Luo Di, reclaiming the mist corpse.

The hollow-faced figure scorned everything, and when he looked at the girl in the forest, she quickly hid behind the tree, raising her hands to show she was not involved in the theft.

He then looked at the distant clown’s scattered body, shattered in the woods.

Who would have known,

These fragmented remnants exploded again like balloons and were abandoned.

A balloon nearby immediately morphed into Joker’s shape, intact, but with a slight blood stain at the corner of his mouth.

He had a strange transfer regeneration ability but was still slightly harmed.

Just at this moment,

He suddenly began to blow air,

With the action of blowing, the mist corpse was inexplicably brought forth, while the corpse in Lebeite’s hand somehow transformed into an inflated balloon.

Lebeite prepared to accelerate again to reclaim the remains,

But Joker made a move, making him stop.

Joker’s hand hovered near the corpse’s neck as if intending to destroy it, with a helpless smile on his face.

"Ah~ with all the calculations made, even an iron bucket couldn’t be figured out, and this girl’s sleep state seems to affect the ’prediction’.

All is lost, all is lost!

Now, any absorption action will result in instant death.

So, I can only resort to a backup plan I least want to use... the effect will be much worse, and I might lose myself, starting anew.

But I should be able to slowly replenish.

Goodbye everyone, next time we meet... I will kill you one by one."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Joker’s hand on the corpse suddenly began performing his best magic trick - "Head Swap".

In an instant,

His head was exchanged with the corpse’s head.

Lebeite noticed the anomaly, disregarding the potential destruction of the corpse, he sprinted as fast as possible. Hua Yuan’s arm also grew again from the clown’s body, intending to stop the process.

But the next second,

Hahaha~ The mist corpse with a clown’s head began to laugh bizarrely.

The laughter echoed beside both their ears like a timed bomb, reverberating in this Pure White Forest.

Boom!

A giant mushroom cloud rose between the forests,

And simultaneously, across the entire area, the entire city broadcasted:

≮The event has ended, the videotape will stop playing in 10 seconds≯
