Deep in the Living-Chapter 500 - 486 Jason VS Mist

At the edge of the lake,

"Jason" was looking at his own arm, feeling the genuine aura of a murderer emanating from his entire body. His height, muscle mass, and joint scale achieved a 99% restoration.

『A mimicry rate of [B+] can actually reach this level. If I continue to improve, who knows what it might become?

My plant hasn’t matured yet, and still, it can achieve such a mimicry rate; it probably has to do with the literary nature of this item and its pituitary characteristics. After all, the gray related to Mr. Kraft inherently has excellent adaptability.

Moreover, I’m also skilled in disguise, though I don’t quite remember who I learned it from.

Regardless, this is the best state I can achieve for now. My combat power might not match the Hell Great Demon, but my survival ability is fully maxed out, perfect for the current situation.』

Although Luo Di designed his own mask and wanted to become a ’unique murderer,’ he also idolized and aspired to the classic murderer images portrayed in movies.

Jason Voorhees was one of them,

He has watched the Friday the 13th series not less than a hundred times,

In his subconscious, he holds the most complete record of Jason’s character, physique, and actions, which is the fundamental reason for the increased mimicry rate.

Because he perfectly mimicked his idol and found himself in the same setting as the movie, Luo Di fell into a state of "over excitement," emotionally immersed, craving slaughter.

As he gradually approached the lakeside wooden house,

The wooden door had already opened ahead of time,

A man in a suit, far taller than the door frame, bent over and stepped out, with his face still surrounded by mist. When he saw the outside environment, he tilted his head a bit confusedly.

It seemed as if he was curious about how such a scene could form,

Seeming surprised at how someone could dare to face the fog alone, and even bear killing intent. Clearly, the last time in the morgue, this young man was almost killed, and the gap between them doesn’t need much explanation.

With that curiosity and surprise.

The Fog Man approached,

Step!

Even when stepping on soft, wet mud, you could still hear that unnerving leather shoe noise, like a prerecorded sound synchronized with his footsteps.

His movement was equally strange.

It wasn’t a normal forward step-by-step advance,

Rather, with each step, his position would change, randomly appearing within a five-meter radius.

Though his steps seemed slow, he could actually get close very quickly.

Luo Di did not retreat in the slightest, dragging the metal bat directly forward.

The distance between them grew ever closer.

30m

20m

10m

5m

3m

With an eye on them getting into attack range, Luo Di was just about to swing the bat in his hand when... buzz! Another step, and this time the shoe stepped directly behind Luo Di.

-1m

Completely different from previous enemies.

The Fog Man didn’t take on any attack posture,

No punches,

No chops,

No jabs,

Nor did he wield any weapons.

He merely made a simple "touch,"

Using the dense mist coiling around his fingertips to contact the target. As long as it touched, it could erase.

From a certain perspective, this kind of touch is similar to that of a newborn baby, trying to understand the world through the fingertips.

Though the movements seemed slow, they were actually very difficult to avoid.

Previously, even Luo Di in his Hell Great Demon avatar couldn’t avoid it with speed,

The reason is very simple,

This "Fog Touch" that can erase flesh can also erase space.

As the five fingers moved in the air, the space they swept across was erased.

To fill the void that was erased, the surrounding space would surge like a torrent, causing Luo Di’s standing position to shift, actively aligning with the opponent’s fingers.

That’s one of the most terrifying aspects of the Fog Man.

By erasing space to pull the target, the closer the distance, the stronger the effect.

However,

Luo Di already knew this point from the morgue, and now he never thought of dodging.

Leveraging the feeling of spatial pull,

Luo Di twisted his waist and turned back,

Stacking his own power onto the speed of spatial pull, swinging the bat in his hand with maximum arm strength, rushing to crush this man’s flesh.

Buzz!

The first thing heard was a sound of erasure, akin to a TV’s silencing effect.

Luo Di’s one shoulder was entirely erased, and his left arm was left hanging in the air, only connected by a piece of skin and some iron wires.

At the same time,

A loud noise echoed, even shaking the lake’s surface to create multiple ripples.

The Fog Man was completely knocked flying,

His body rolled several times in the air, with a noticeable depression in the waist, and broke apart completely during the rotation, splitting into upper and lower halves.

Plop~ The lower half fell into the lake.

His upper body happened to hit the stone by the lake, and the back of his head seemed to be bleeding.

A cinematic effect followed through—"Jason has killed the target," corresponding with the Fog Man’s upper body quickly dying, ceasing all life activities.

The next second,

The corpse on the stone had not yet disappeared,

The sound of leather shoes from the television came again, and an identical Fog Man walked out of the lakeside cabin, unscathed.

Taking advantage of the opponent’s distance,

Luo Di swiftly activated his Blood Bible, visible holes like those of lotus pods appeared on the broken shoulder and surrounding skin.

Fake blood resembling film props gushed from the holes,

Along with the mist trying to form "internal weather," it was expelled outside,

Under the cleansing of blood, the wound began to grow flesh quickly, the left arm recovered and moved freely.

Feeling the divine assistance from the blood, successfully excluding the fog outside.

Luo Di couldn’t help but clench his fist, exclaiming inwardly:

"Good!"

His most worrying issue was the inability to repair physical trauma, as once limbs were completely severed, even being "undead" would be meaningless.

Having verified the effectiveness of regeneration, Luo Di now possessed his greatest confidence.

He continued to step forward with rubber military shoes, actively advancing the cinematic plot.

The Fog Man who had re-emerged from the cabin also noticed the opponent’s regenerative behavior, clearly different from yesterday, now capable of isolating mist and healing injuries.

Seeing this anomaly, the Fog Man tilted its head again.

Even his head spun a full 360° back to normal on his neck.

This time,

The Fog Man did not come directly over; instead, he raised his arm, suspended five fingers in front... and pulled forcefully! As if he intended to erase himself.

Buzz~ Even from afar, the sound of space being destroyed could be heard.

Due to the distance,

Luo Di only felt a faint pulling sensation from space, but the sight before him made him shudder!

The erasure action of the Fog Man had wiped away the mist that constantly obscured his face.

A [strange face] was presented.

Upon seeing this face,

Even Luo Di, fueled by killing intent and immersed in his own movie, halted his steps; cold sweat seeped under his mask.

The face lacked features,

but was covered with irregular lines,

like stretch marks,

like bulging veins,

like the chaotic folds of flesh stitched together,

Yet these lines converged towards the center of the face, where there existed a round pit.

A special and thick fog emanated from within the pit,

Whatever lay inside, vision seemed unable to penetrate.

Luo Di’s keen sense of smell detected an opportunity.

He wanted to observe the hole on the opponent’s face up close, perhaps it held a crucial clue, possibly allowing him to truly comprehend the mist.

Perhaps...

Buzz!

The sound of tinnitus came.

Luo Di suddenly severed his connection with the spine, even his connection with the flesh.

Focused vision watched!

His body was already on the ground somehow, blood gushing from the shattered neck.

Yet Luo Di’s vision remained suspended in the air,

separated body and head.

At some unknown time, the Fog Man was already standing in front of him, his neck was directly crushed by the opponent’s hand.

His head was being held in the air by the Fog Man.

"This is brain fog! My thoughts were completely paralyzed! Completely unable to perceive the external situation, even feeling like the process never occurred in my brain just... damn it!"

There was no time to react,

Luo Di’s head was directly crushed,

The Fog Touch effect caused by the fingers completely annihilated the crushed head, leaving no trace.

The Fog Man didn’t stop there; he knew the young man before him was extremely strange and needed to be thoroughly erased.

Even without the head, the body needed to be destroyed.

But as the Fog Man bowed his head,

The moonlight over the lake shimmered again, and under the moon’s influence, a bizarre tidal phenomenon unexpectedly occurred with the quiet lake water.

The rising lake water quickly submerged the Fog Man’s calf, reaching its limit.

When the tide receded,

The headless corpse that lay on the ground disappeared along with it.

Gurgle gurgle~

Under the moon,

Amid the lake’s surface,

Some blood-colored bubbles began to float up...
