Deep in the Living

Chapter 692: Drawing


[Corner Shallow Area - Region Number #0132 - "Empty Underground Parking Lot"]

Just like its name, this area is purely a parking lot, divided into areas A, B, C, and D, all with the same size and number of parking spaces, interconnected.

There are two ways to pass through this area,

1. Encounter a bus parked here and simply meet the boarding requirements to get a ride to other areas.

2. Find a lost car key and its corresponding vehicle; then you can find the parking lot exit while driving.

If one just wanders around randomly inside, they will never be able to get out.

[Towen Mills]

A monster that just arrived at the corner through interstice screening, Black Door category, a perverted lunatic murderer.

His appearance resembles a blond youth wearing a baseball uniform, with a large number 17 printed on the back, giving the impression of an American high school baseball team.

This is the third shallow area he has arrived at,

The baseball bat in his hand still bears blood that has yet to coagulate.

His journey in the corner is going very smoothly; he had an encounter and cruelly killed a monster in the first area he arrived at, now his confidence is soaring, intentionally tapping the bat against cars along the way, filling the parking lot with sound.

His inner desire for slaughter is overwhelming, the satisfaction of killing a monster is more exhilarating than having killed ten humans before.

Unfortunately, there is nothing in this empty parking lot, it seems to be a void area.

Towen decides not to waste time, switches to a baseball player's running stance, and wants to quickly head to the next corner.

But after a round of running, he still can't find the exit, in a fit of rage he swings the baseball bat, shattering the car in front of him, igniting gasoline with the friction-induced spark, causing an explosion.

This impetuous action unexpectedly allows him to glimpse a hidden door on the wall nearby, due to the firelight.

Just like that,

Towen curiously walks inside, and he unexpectedly arrives at the nonexistent [E] area.

There are no cars here, but at the far end, there is a store.

"A manga store? Seems like I've discovered something interesting, is it an opportunity tucked away in the corner?"

Towen walks straight over, having no intention to open the door, he swings the baseball bat at it directly.

Just as the bat is about to smash the blue glass,

Gr-r-gr-r~ an anomaly sound comes from his side.

Danger Perception.

Towen quickly retracts his hand and turns around, his eyes reveal a crimson stain, threads of blood grow from between the sleeves and adhere to the surface of his arms, ready for slaughter.

The sound comes from the garbage dumping area next to the door.

Something seems to be writhing between the black plastic bags, slowly creeping towards him.

Without further thought, he swings the bat directly onto it.

Just by feeling the feedback of the bat, he could judge what he was hitting, what it looked like, its physical characteristics.

After three hits,

Towen suddenly stops because, in his mind, he pictures a graceful young girl, a special emotion he never experienced before arises.

This emotion causes him to lose his reason, sensitivity takes the upper hand, he rushes over and rips open the black plastic bag.

A young girl, with a completely fractured body and a sunken head, is already dead inside.

Even though her body is deformed, even though she's covered in blood,

Her beauty still makes Towen completely fall, a possession desire beyond reason sweeps his mind, touching his soul!

"No, I absolutely can't let anyone see her! She must be mine! If only cut into small pieces, it shouldn't be visible to others...or ground into meat paste works too."

Towen doesn't have blades to cut, so he directly uses tearing to disassemble the corpse, then uses the baseball bat in his hand to hit different chunks of meat until they become meat paste.

Then he rummages through the trash cans for plastic bottles, filling them with the meat paste, thus entirely turning them into his possessions.

Just when Towen finishes handling everything, packing all the plastic bottles into his backpack, preparing to leave.

A voice calling from inside the backpack comes.

This anomaly scares him into sitting on the ground, a different kind of fear is gnawing at his soul. He slowly crawls toward the backpack, reaching out to unzip the top.

Whoosh~

Halfway, it suddenly jams, black hair has somehow grown over the zipper.

Towen, somewhat anxious, perhaps frightened or wanting to check the backpack's contents, pulls forcefully... whish! The zipper is forcibly opened, accompanied by a scalp-tearing sound.

A bloody head pops out, half of the scalp ripped away.

The head itself maintains a smile,

Using threads of meat paste tentacles from the neck end, it slowly crawls out.

Scared, Towen retreats, but his true nature as a lunatic killer is activated, he picks up the baseball bat and continues to smash this thing.

This time,

He wants to pour the meat paste directly into the drainage, yet when pouring, his hand simply can't let go.

Even though he was afraid, he still wanted to privately possess this girl.

The minced flesh in his hand continued to coalesce, gradually growing to form the girl's facial structure.

Slowly, Towen began to emit a sickly laugh, his soul essence starting to twist, and all his physiological activities began to revolve around this girl.

As a monster, the nature of exploring corners was gradually stripped away.

The scene shifts to the inside of the manga shop.

Besides the middle-aged man sitting in the deepest part, there was also a girl sitting next to him, specifically arranged with a manga workstation.

The girl wore a pair of round glasses and was responsible for creating an independent manga, the content exactly mirroring what happened in the underground parking lot.

With extremely delicate art skills, she highlighted Towen's facial expression, creating a sense of sickly despair.

At some unknown point,

the mysterious middle-aged man already stood behind the girl, lightly commenting:

"Not bad, your progress is fast."

"Thank you, teacher."

The manga book in the girl's hand was nearly half full, and she herself also underwent changes during the process, especially feeling as if she were breaking away from the corner during drawing.

"Teacher, it seems there's some change in Vortex Town, may I take leave to go back and check?"

"Yes, you may."

...

Vortex Town, late at night.

In front of the Sisterhood apartment.

Luo Di dragged his exhausted body out, utilizing some learned disguise to avoid being dragged away by one of the sisters on the way.

With the Fishing Village incident, Luo Di originally had no rest, and after returning, he worked several hours of heavy labor.

He should have gone straight to sleep at his grandmother's invitation,

but thinking of Wu Wen's eyes blinking sideways, he forced his body to stay up and found an excuse to leave.

"The fishy smell is gone… When the Faceless Man first came to Vortex Town, the whole city was full of the scent; now it seems he can control himself.

In the Fishing Village, he felt like a primitive creature, a pure beast.

If he can control himself, Wu Wen should be fine, but it's better to go and check the situation."

Luo Di tried his best to stay alert; disguising was unnecessary.

Facing such a top-ranking plant entity with blood and flesh control, any disguise is meaningless; it's better to directly approach and explain the intention.

The abandoned villa is just at the next intersection.

Just as Luo Di was about to cross the street, a strange noise came from the trash station not far away.

A large, pitch-black garbage bag was slowly wriggling over.

As Luo Di shifted his gaze, he saw this strange object.

His instincts as the Black Door Killer were activated; somehow, he already had the blade in hand, subconsciously wanting to slash at the being inside.

Thick-soled shoes, size forty-five, stepped in front of the garbage bag,

kneeling on one knee,

a slash came down.

Just as the blade was about to cut open the thing, buzz! Luo Di's arm instinctively stopped.

He wasn't a senseless murderer; every kill required discernment… such behavior violated his nature, forcibly rejected by Luo Di's subconscious.

"Hua Yuan, you've changed a lot."

"Huh? I clearly did targeted work for you, my actions had no aggression, your tongue shouldn't react, right? Why didn't you slash it?

If you could kill me, maybe you could write a good story."

The black plastic bag tore open,

Hua Yuan, wearing glasses, stood out with a different demeanor, her seductive eyes scrutinizing the young man not long after their separation.

Luo Di didn't answer but questioned back, "What would happen if I killed you?"

"What do you think?"

"Did you actively contact the manga shop?"

"Yes~ I discussed with Teacher Guo about this, after a series of tests, I am now a special exchange student. No need to continue studying in Vortex Town, I am learning manga with Teacher Ito."

"Are you doing well?"

"No need to pretend to care about me~ Aren't you in a hurry to see Wu Wen now? By the way, there's a weird smell on you, why do you have a fishy smell?

No, this is Wu Wen's scent. How did she become like this?"

This time Luo Di didn't respond; instead, he proactively grabbed Hua Yuan's hand and headed toward the villa district together.

This sudden heated contact stirred some mental resonance in her, having locked herself in the manga shop for so long, abstaining from drawing.
