Deep in the Living-Chapter 446 - 434: The Mysterious Demon

The matter about Luo Di’s tongue was recently discussed at Mr. Question Mark’s place.

Both Yu Lu, who was previously a backpack, and Hua Yuan, standing behind, heard it clearly. Being referred to as a "troublesome" character by Mr. Question Mark certainly means something formidable.

Unexpectedly, they encountered it so quickly, and it dared to attack head-on, knowing the four sisters on the bus weren’t weak.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tongues kept slapping against the surface of the bus windows, sticking for a while, then slowly sliding off.

It seemed like there was a "tongue rain" outside.

The living bus, originally with full performance and extreme vitality, capable of sustaining 1000km with one full meal, was slowly coming to a stop, dying from this tongue rain.

The sisters inside the bus were also setting various measures; if intruders broke in, multiple restrictions and traps would be triggered.

However,

The expected attack did not arrive,

Instead, an unexpected situation occurred... sinking.

The dead living bus began sinking, windows covered with tongues and thick fog, making it impossible to see the specific situation outside.

In this situation, sitting and waiting for death inside the bus was out of the question.

Luo Di shouted, "Everyone block your hearing! Let’s go out together."

His understanding of tongues mainly pertained to sound; upon seeing the tongues, he instinctively controlled his flesh to block hearing, even setting traps in the ear canal and damaging the eardrums.

Damage the roof!

The four women and one man simultaneously leaped out of the bus, stood on the roof, observing the situation.

Even monsters like Yu Lu were somewhat moved by the sight before them. freeweɓnovel-cøm

The bus was sinking into a "marshland," distinct from what is commonly known and amidst the foggy marsh, it was full of tongues.

There were no swamps,

Nor any shrub vegetation,

Everything was composed of tongues, with viscous saliva filling the slight gaps between them.

The entire environment exuded a saliva scent,

The vehicle was sinking continuously within this tongue marsh, the tongues touching the car body were madly licking, almost stripping its surface, extremely disgusting.

Luo Di had no floating or flying ability, and with no structures to clasp nearby, once the bus fully submerged, he would follow suit.

At the crucial moment, a familiar cold sensation came from his back.

Yu Lu once again transformed into a backpack, hanging over, and Luo Di adaptively grew chains as backpack straps.

A hang rope appeared out of nowhere, strapping Yu Lu’s neck, lifting Luo Di along, suspended in mid-air.

The others each had ways to hover,

Hua Yuan morphed into a smaller, lighter form, seemingly twelve or thirteen years old, with vibrant flowers blooming on her back, forming wing structures to fly, picturesque.

Wu Wen was a different sight, her skin fully torn open, forming two blood-flesh wings.

Despite having the same flight style as Hua Yuan, the feel was completely different; if seeing it as a flower, it was a blood-flesh flower.

Miss Juan, lacking wing structure, could tread directly into the air, as if a faintly visible scissors structure supported her high heels.

The vehicle submerged.

The entire tongue marsh, displeased not having swallowed a living entity, tightened every active tongue, seeming as if they were ready to snap collectively.

Luo Di instinctively covered his ears, even imagining a massive spatial snapping of tongues.

However, the anticipated collective snapping did not occur,

Instead, the taut tongues combined, curving downward.

Slowly forming a dark hole, precisely labeled as an [Abyss].

Beneath the abyss, something was crawling out rapidly; when Luo Di realized he wanted to close his eyes, that thing was already in front of him.

A huge, moist tongue occupied his vision,

Curled,

Squirming,

Slapping,

Folding,

The tongue surface comprised countless smaller tongues, each performing its action.

These tiny tongues activated, protruding outward, creating several pink arms, touching Luo Di’s body, reaching toward his head region.

Snap!

Luo Di’s jaw was forcibly pried open, his tongue pulled out.

Simultaneously, the immensely familiar demon voice from years ago echoed:

"You self-learned my tongue skill; this is our matter, why should Mr. Question Mark interfere? Truly an annoying fellow.

You, such a Hellboy, are extremely rare, even unique in the corners.

Don’t worry... feel free to use my tongue; it’s your self-learned technique, sparing you unnecessary risks while exploring the corners.

Let me help you remove this seal~ Mr. Question Mark is not a good person; he merely wants to possess you, never trust his lies."

When the pink arms were about to erase the question mark mark on Luo Di’s tongue,

Buzz!

A grey moonbeam descended,

Luo Di, supposedly paralyzed, was intensely staring at the giant tongue before him.

[Consciousness Slash]

Coalesce killing intent, follow the moonbeam path.

Swish!

Clearly without any action, a fresh red gash appeared on the tongue’s surface, bleeding profusely.

A cry of agony, the illusion shattered.

In a blink, Luo Di had escaped the marsh along with the sisterhood, returning to the highway. He quickly opened his mouth, extending his tongue.

Dense heat was steaming off the tongue’s surface,

The question mark structure marked on the surface suffered mild damage, a small crack appeared at the top, yet the overall structure remained unaffected.

Following the recent killing instinct, Luo Di glanced toward the side of the highway.

Amidst the thick mist,

A slender figure waved farewell, raising its arm rhythmically.

The mist veiled the face almost entirely, revealing only a rosy mouth, its tongue swinging with the arm.

Covered by fog, vanished into thin air.

The figure seemingly held no true malice, merely intending to erase the seal on Luo Di’s tongue; since Luo Di chose not to remove it, it was left at that.

Perhaps his methods failed, unwilling to face off directly with so many sisters.

Luo Di inquired, "Yu sister, can you kill the existence we just faced?"

"I don’t know, it’s a monster I’ve never seen. He should sense your presence through the tongue, calculate our route, and set traps in advance along the path.

The trap quality was high, yet he didn’t reveal the main body, affecting you through illusions alone.

Saying he’s strong, yet his illusion was broken by you, a budding human. Calling him weak~ yet he managed to ensnare all five of us simultaneously, with the capability to erase Mr. Question Mark’s seal.

A peculiar character.

The lack of further action likely aimed to maintain mystery; otherwise, such monsters would have been documented by the Sisterhood long ago.

Exercise caution on future outings... you certainly have a lot going on, first with the clown, now with this mysterious presence."

Luo Di could only smile wryly, naturally not wanting to get involved in such matters. However, he wasn’t concerned either, as long as the target could be injured, it meant they could be killed.

Not far away, Wu Wen was watching Luo Di,

Originally intending for a full check-up on Luo Di, seeing Yu Lu stick tightly to his back, she dropped the idea.

She continued releasing physical perception, the tongue should belong to the flesh category, yet she failed to grasp any perception.

At least as per her view,

The entity behind the tongue seemed highly dangerous, possessing strength beyond hers.

’Who would have thought that an ordinary simulation practice, back then, would link to such a mysterious creature, seemingly completely focusing on Luo Di.

I might need to adjust my itinerary,

If Luo Di encounters tongue issues during contact with the clown, it would spell enormous trouble... risking death, perhaps even now displaying a deathly aura.’

Wu Wen paid exceptionally keen attention to physical observation, in her view, it seemed Luo Di, appearing to have escaped, was shrouded with death energy.

After a sigh, she quickly adjusted her mindset again.

According to Wu Wen’s plan, she should already be back home, watching TV and eating chips.

Since the vehicle was gone, they had to walk back to the Sisterhood; not far ahead was the region affected by [Gaze Disaster], seemingly shrouded by a descending black curtain.

Before entering,

Everyone either detached their eyeballs or severed the visual nerves from the brainstem, entering it blindly...
