Deep in the Living

Chapter 599: Learning


Wu Wen had just sat down to rest when a voice came through, seemingly transmitted directly via the vortex pattern on her cochlea.

"Wu Wen, well done."

"Thank you, Teacher Guo, for the compliment!"

"It's just that the rules here are relatively simple for you to easily leverage, but can you apply the 'outside' rules as well?"

Wu Wen initially wanted to respond directly, but then reconsidered, "Hmm... that's why I need Luo Di with me, isn't it?"

Teacher Guo did not respond further but moved on to the scoring phase.

The lowest score from Grandmother was 4,

the highest score from Gust was 9,

the final score was 7, still subject to review.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhou came to the center of the field, altering his zombie-like fierce appearance, and nodded, saying, "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to give this old man a rare chance for entertainment. Teacher Guo should know I'm not here to become a student.

My purpose here is to check on behalf of Jiang Mansion whether this special organization is just a facade or truly has substance.

Now that I have my answer, it's time to report back to the master."

Of course, Teacher Guo was aware of this, and he knew that Jiang Mansion was a significant corner organization. Taking advantage of an opportunity to draw them in was certainly beneficial, possibly even providing the school with a batch of excellent teacher and student resources in the future.

"Take care."

"Hmm."

Before leaving, Uncle Zhou deliberately walked onto the stage to face Wu Wen.

"Young girl, since you only seem to operate within this special organization, if you're interested, you can come visit Jiang Mansion.

I'm just a former butler who was replaced; there are many more impressive figures within Jiang Mansion, and the depth of the mansion surely holds things you might find intriguing."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou, I will come with my boyfriend if I get the chance."

"Boyfriend?"

Just as she said this, Luo Di took the initiative to come closer.

Uncle Zhou's malevolent eyes seemed capable of seeing the unique structure of living beings.

"Hmm!

Such a strong body, yet hasn't matured? This is an excellent specimen. If the master sees this, he might go to any lengths to acquire it.

Truly an ideal body for refining corpses!

Make sure to come, won't you?"

With Uncle Zhou's departure, Wu Wen breathed a slight sigh of relief... She then rose and walked to the edge of the stage, reaching into her throat to vomit out a large amount of rotten flesh tainted with malevolence.

It was at this moment that Teacher Guo began announcing the start of the third round of assessments.

The third round of assessments was about to officially begin.

"The new candidates being assessed include a bizarre novel writer from Rain City - Rust Rain, often hiding in the dark corners of Rain City, randomly selecting targets, and cruelly murdering them to use as writing material.

Very little personal information is available, but it's remarkable to make it to the final assessments. And you've drawn as your opponent an evaluator whose plant has yet to mature, Lebeite."

Just as the words fell,

Lebeite, whose mind was still dwelling in running studies, suddenly snapped back, the spiral pattern that had yet to fully form on his calves disappeared.

"It's my turn so soon... The opponent doesn't seem too formidable. I thought that guy would draw me."

Lebeite's gaze locked onto someone from the Carnivorous Family, somewhat reluctantly brushing back the golden hair that hung over his forehead, styling it simply into a middle parting, and leisurely walked onto the field.

However, he heard the sound of rain.

Even though it wasn't raining here, and the sky was obscured by the smoke rising from the crematory, the sound of rain was clearly audible, coming from directly ahead.

In the outer area,

a mysterious figure clad in a raincoat walked in, seeming to share the same interests and habits as Luo Di, wearing a [mask] beneath the hood.

Yet, unlike Luo Di's murderously aggressive mask, this one was pure white, not only simplistic but without any eye or nose holes on the mask.

Unable to see, unable to breathe.

Stranger still,

in the limited area where he walked, rain appeared to form and continually fall from about thirty meters above, keeping him perpetually "in the rain."

On the stands, Luo Di had already determined the type of monster and sniffed out a peculiar scent.

Black Door - twisted assassin type.

"This person's malice is obscured by the rain, unlike Mia or the Carnivorous Family's pure malevolence. This person's malevolence is hidden, one that spreads wantonly, much like the Joker.

He's not only self-indulging but spreading malice, affecting others.

Why wasn't this guy drawn against me?"

Luo Di's spine began to quiver slightly, an innate hunting desire was stirred, his original intention to become a murderer was to behead such beings.

Who knew... Sluurp~ (licking)

A tongue suddenly licked Luo Di's temple, wiping away the sweat that had formed from excitement.

"What delicious emotions, don't be so hot-tempered, young one... Anyway, no lives will be lost in these sparring matches, if you want to make a move, wait until this person is alone.

Besides, I hear Rain City is quite fun."

Luo Di also snapped awake because of this licking, and suddenly figured out something, "Senior, the reason you give every freshman high scores, is it to get them all admitted so you can collect tongues easily?"

"Bah! I am very fair, alright? Mainly, it's watching those rigid guys being too harsh, I have to give higher scores to give young people a chance, don't be stingy."

As the two were discussing, Teacher Guo had already raised his arm and suddenly struck down.

The assessment begins!

Rust Rain took out an umbrella, its metal handle full of rust, and the umbrella as a whole was in tatters. However, such an umbrella had a big background, it was a custom horror prop.

As this person opened the umbrella,

his special domain was released through the umbrella, rapidly spreading outward.

Whoosh!

The violent rain that was covering only around his body now spread to the entire campus.

At the start,

this person unfolded the domain effect, he obviously planned to end the assessment quickly, to demonstrate his full strength in front of the teacher.

The rain fell down.

This was no ordinary rain,

when it fell on Lebeite, even his skin started to rust, iron ions within his body began to leak, his movements became slow and weak.

In a daze,

he seemed to be in an urban alley full of skyscrapers, some assassin was hunting him, a label of weakness had already been pasted on him.

Pa!

Footsteps came from behind, but when Lebeite turned around, there was no one behind him.

At this moment,

if the camera were pulled back, it would reveal.

The man in the raincoat was actually stepping on raindrops, directly above Lebeite.

The umbrella in his hand was already closed, pointing downward like a spear.

The rain can completely disrupt the target's perception, erase all traces, and conceal crime.

The rain can also make his movements fall like raindrops, silently penetrating the target's flesh.

...

In the human world, Mingwang City, outside the Fifth Hospital, in the Deep Blue Internet Cafe.

For unknown reasons, more and more people came here to surf the net. Moreover, rumors had already spread in the internet cafe that in the number 003 booth lived three real gaming gods.

If you have the chance to talk to them, you can gain the ability to stay up three nights in a row without feeling tired, even the Pseudo-Person would be afraid of them.

Unfortunately, the booth's door remained closed. The network administrator often watched over it, and if any suspicious person approached the booth, they would be immediately stopped.

Inside the booth,

smoke was swirling,

the three people were still playing games, but their expressions were not happy.

Ever since Lebeite, the highest-ranked player, left, they felt less than exhilarated while playing. After one game ended, David patted his belly.

"How about we call it a day? Today feels off, either we get matched with newbie teammates, or the opponents are terrifyingly fierce... it's all because that guy raised his rank so high all of a sudden.

Oculus, is there a possibility like this?

Since Luo Di can become a Spine, can't we make this Lebeite a Spine as well, tie him to Hell, and it would be more convenient for us to connect in the future."

The large eye blinked, a voice seeped out from the depths of the eye socket, "His essence will reject everything other than humanity, it's impossible to integrate him into an external system.

Moreover, Luo Di alone is completely sufficient.

Bringing in another monster to nurture, the structure of Hell could be reshuffled and might let those little guys take advantage easily.

This Lebeite... just from playing games with us for a week, his brain has already undergone some transformation.

And there's another thing, I don't know if you've noticed."

"Noticed what?"

"Besides playing games, this guy subconsciously learns from us."

David was puzzled, "Learn what? I haven't shown any abilities, just playing games. But, come to think of it, this guy's belly seems to have gotten bigger, does that count?"

"Next time he comes to play games, pay close attention and you'll know… Hook, you must have noticed, right?"

Hook, who had not participated in the discussion, was purchasing a game skin, "I've seen many geniuses, but never one like this... it's fortunate he and Luo Di are close friends, otherwise I might choose to kill him outright.

Letting such a guy grow up, even Hell would be threatened."

...

The rain stopped.

Lebeite rubbed his eyes a bit, a few ash patterns disappeared in his pupils.

The white mask shattered to the ground,

the assassin in the rain rolled outside like mud.
