Deep in the Living-Chapter 196 - 188: Eyes in the Well

One tall, one short; a man and a woman.

Walking on the pebble path, this road leads directly to the hotel downstairs.

Luo Di’s spine was protruding, even slightly wriggling on his back.

It seemed as though he needed to move to digest an overly full meal.

Luo Di’s face retained a look of unabated excitement, his mind still immersed in the slaughter, nourished by it... just as Hua Yuan said, not slaughtering out of hate, but merely chasing desires.

The entire Ghost House had turned into a slaughterhouse, not a single one was left.

The surge of nutrients kept feeding his spine up to 95%... Of course, it wasn’t an opportunity given by others but one that Luo Di actively seized by taking the risk of "turning his head."

There was another important point.

The smoothness of the massacre in the Ghost House and the exhilarating sensation of killing were unprecedented; Luo Di felt thrilled from his head to his toes.

It wasn’t about how good Luo Di’s condition was, but due to another reason, the special existence of Mu Mu, treated by everyone as a dear little sister.

"So thrilling..."

The words involuntarily spilled out from Luo Di’s mouth, his gaze then shifting to Eye sister beside him.

Feeling Luo Di’s stare, she quickly grew a single eye among her black hair and blinked to signal.

[Two and a Half Hours Earlier]

The two who had just entered the Ghost House arrived at the first area.

It was designed like an old public restroom, with the unstable incandescent light flickering above.

A hand with pale skin and painted red nails was clawing at the spotted wooden door, slowly revealing the hidden body, trying to scare the newcomers to the Ghost House.

Little did they know,

Luo Di was lost in thought as he watched this scene.

According to the setting of the Ghost House, once these ghosts touch or harm someone, it would accelerate plant growth around the neck, prompting a "turning of the head", akin to an indirect type of death pressure.

Luo Di was left with nothing but two options.

1. Run away.

2. Try to chop down the ghost in front of him.

In the current public restroom area, almost every stall housed a ghost.

Lingering here for too long could result in a dire encirclement, perhaps running away would be the best choice, fitting the true theme of the Ghost House.

However, Luo Di wanted to take a gamble.

If he could indeed hack them down, he might fill up his spine before facing the Monster Avatar, possibly achieving spinal saturation upon reaching the hotel.

But this was too risky, and it would also involve Eye sister.

If they failed, both of them would die here.

The remaining class leaders would also struggle to handle the Avatar behind the scenes, eventually leading to collective failure.

Just as Luo Di was about to prioritize the bigger picture and run away,

a feeling of being visually pierced suddenly came, as if an eye had grown deep in his brain, peering into his thoughts.

At the same time,

a cold, damp, and skeletal thin hand gently reached up, lighter and finer than any hand Luo Di had ever held, barely perceptible.

"Di... it’s possible... I can help."

"How?"

"I... concretization... can merge with anything... but you’re so warm... remember to keep me hydrated. If possible... don’t reject me..."

Luo Di was well aware of Eye sister’s stance, with the class leader privately on good terms with her, willing to take the risk of being discovered by the grandmother to actively help conceal.

"Okay."

Since she agreed to the "chopping plan" he no longer resisted the peering gaze in his brain.

All of a sudden,

Luo Di felt a slight sting coming from where their hands touched.

Glancing sideways,

Eye sister, just like those who crawled out from the TV before, tore open Luo Di’s palm and part of his arm, climbing into his body along the torn crack.

His already skeletal frame compressed further during this process, as if turning into a sheet of paper.

Strangely, the wound that was split open completely healed after Eye sister entered his body, leaving no trace of having been cut.

"Close your eyes, feel my presence."

The voice of Eye Sister transmitted through consciousness, no longer hesitant and stuttering.

Delicate, sweet yet profound... as if it came from the deep abyss of a well.

Before closing his eyes, Luo Di first glanced at the red-dressed female ghost who had already climbed out of the pit, with a face wriggling with worms, probably reaching him in less than five seconds.

But he still chose to trust Eye Sister and closed his eyes, feeling her presence.

The moment he closed his eyes... Buzz!

Images like those from a VHS tape appeared in his memory, presenting a series of chaotic and incomprehensible scenes.

Finally, the image froze at an ancient well.

As the camera moved upward, the circular opening of the well gradually occupied the entire screen.

The camera pushed downward, and Luo Di followed the image into this damp, cold, dry well.

At the bottom, dense black hair floated on the water surface, spreading out like lotus leaves, covering the female corpse submerged below.

As the scene moved past the black hair, it dipped into the murky water.

A long-soaked corpse of a young girl appeared, who seemed to have a congenital eye deformity, with her upper and lower eyelids completely stuck together, unable to separate.

"Help me open my eyes..."

The voice of Eye Sister came again, and a hand appeared in the scene along with a knife blade held in it.

Luo Di’s consciousness could control, like some first-person video game.

Taking the blade, he began to cut along the glued area of the eyelids, as if performing a surgical operation, cutting the eyelids along the middle line... At the moment of cutting open! The young girl’s long-soaked eyes suddenly widened.

The VHS tape footage also ended there.

Luo Di’s thoughts returned to himself, vaguely feeling some sort of change in his body, or rather something extra in the area of his forehead.

When Luo Di opened his eyes again, a peculiar sensation emanated from his brow.

It wasn’t just his two eyes that opened,

but also that newly-grown eye at the brow, pupil deep like a well.

All three eyes opened.

The field of vision Luo Di now embraced was completely transformed.

It became vast, clear, slow, and penetrating.

A large amount of information was actively collected by the eyeball, broken down into effective and critical data before being transferred to the brain, instead of directly transmitting the visual scene.

In front of him,

the woman with red nails had already approached, her fingers interlocked and tearing towards him.

Luo Di did not dodge immediately, but instead exclaimed:

"So clear!"

His body slightly leaned back before the fingers could fall, perfectly avoiding the attack, not too much or too little, just right.

While dodging, Luo Di also swung a perfect cut, cleaving the opponent’s body along the midline.

Red liquid sprayed high,

Luo Di deliberately looked up, allowing the liquid to fall on the eye in his brow as much as possible, to achieve a "hydration" effect.

After ending the slaughter, he did not leave, but waited on the spot, waiting for everything in the pit to crawl out, and methodically slaughtered, not missing a single one.

The entire Ghost House would become his killing supplement.

...

Time returned to now.

With Eye Sister’s departure, Luo Di felt somewhat unaccustomed to the normal vision, even the demonic gifted black pupil vision was far inferior to the fusion parasitism of Eye Sister.

Whether it was the influence of Hua Yuan’s Invasion,

When Luo Di looked at the petite Eye Sister beside him, he unexpectedly felt a desire to forcefully possess her, but quickly discarded this despicable thought with rationality.

Of course,

Eye Sister, with her highly sensitive senses, also captured a moment of crisis when Luo Di harbored the thought of domination.

But she did not resist, still obediently followed him... because someone told her to follow Luo Di.

As the two walked along the pebble path, waiting until the hotel’s full image was displayed in front of them, she once again took Luo Di’s hand and actively merged into his body.

Together, they gazed at the enormous, significantly different hotel in front of them.
