Deep in the Living

Chapter 693: Memory Sharing


Villa (Wu Wen's residence).

The maids were sleepless this night, as soon as they closed their eyes, that Faceless Man would appear in their minds, and even though they were covered with comfortable quilts, they turned into squirming tendrils of blood and flesh.

They didn't dare leave the villa without permission, so they endured it until morning.

Thump~thump~

The sudden knock nearly made the maids scream.

Though the one who pushed the door open was Wu Wen.

Only, compared to the master they knew before, the Wu Wen before them was slightly different.

Younger, more slender, more aquatic, yet there was an inexplicable strange feeling, especially the sideways blinking fish-eye structure.

"If you can't sleep well, stay at the villa next door for now, just come back during the day."

"Thank you, master."

After the maids had all retreated, Wu Wen turned upstairs. It turned out that the Faceless Man was standing silently in the corner of the entrance, observing all this.

"Brother, your hostility is too strong. They've been with me since long ago, they've entirely submitted to me physically and mentally, and many things are done by them.

Didn't you eat tonight's dishes as well? And the sheets in your room, the furniture arrangement, it's all their responsibility."

The Faceless Man still didn't speak, seemingly communicating in an alternative way.

"Ah, they are indeed relatively weak and easily invaded by thoughts. But Vortex Town is the safest place in the corner, once invaders arrive, Teacher Guo will create the first response.

Alright, alright, I won't argue with you! I'm going to sleep.

Anyway, they'll come during the day to tidy up the house, just let them stay outside at night."

The Faceless Man finally nodded, his body turned into tendrils of flesh and blood and slipped back through the crack of his bedroom door.

Phew...

Wu Wen could finally breathe a sigh of relief, murmuring, "Why doesn't Luo Di come to find me... If he does, I would directly clarify the past relationship with Mr. Qu, would probably be accepted.

Was he caught by Gust for tutoring, or did he go to Sisterhood?

I'll go back to my room to rest, this body still needs long-term adaptation. I've only just touched upon the secrets of the deep sea, they need to be slowly integrated into my system.

When the time is ripe, I'll let the plants begin widespread sowing."

Returning to her bedroom, Wu Wen was about to reach and pull the curtains when her gaze suddenly caught something.

Could it be a comprehensive upgrade brought on by nurturing new life, she could directly see outside the complex. She happened to see something rolling near the trash station outside the complex, a dark mass.

When the mass rolled under the street lamp, the light gave a concrete image.

It wasn't a trash bag, but a woman's head wrapped in black hair.

The moment Wu Wen saw the head, she recognized the other party.

"Sister Hua!"

The moment this thought occurred to her, a wave of nausea hit.

Countless strands of hair started to gush from her throat, forcing her mouth wide open.

The head that just rolled near the trash station now vomited out of Wu Wen's mouth, along with some small fish and shrimp, and a sea stench.

"Wu Wen, truly worthy of you. Luckily I can now study at the comic shop, otherwise I'd be completely left behind."

"Sister Hua, why are you here?"

"Can't I come to see you? Of course, mainly to bring you a gift."

Hua Yuan's head began to proliferate rapidly,

This proliferation wasn't to grow a complete body, but to split and multiply into more heads... countless heads nearly filled the room.

The heads interconnected with black hair, fusing together.

Ultimately forming a gigantic head,

mouth opened,

and Luo Di was contained within, this was the so-called gift.

Right then... thump thump!

Intense knocks came from the bedroom door, accompanied by red light spilling from below the door.

"Brother, come in."

Upon receiving Wu Wen's permission, the door opened!

The faceless visage squeezed directly inside,

Indeed, there were more people in the room, but only one person.

A girl dressed in a school uniform with black hair, a face so exquisite and perfect that it was flawless.

Taking advantage of the current tear mole, and the other's gaze.

The girl threw a very subtle spiritual sowing to the Faceless Man at the door, this kind of sowing had a 300% higher efficiency with males.

Once the sowing succeeds, the individual will become an "Obsessed."

This obsession will grow with time, thought, and contact.

The spirit seeds, much like the pages of a comic book, were just about to take effect... Drip! The seeds meant to be sown between the brain seemed to fall into a crimson deep sea, with no response returning.

The next second.

The blood and flesh fibers spreading from the ground formed an arm that held Hua Yuan in mid-air.

"Brother, no! This is a former friend of mine, an elder sister who once cared for me!"

Upon hearing Wu Wen's explanation, the fibers retracted.

Yet the Faceless Man still stood at the door, with no intention of leaving, as a thoughtwave communication was taking place.

"Brother, she's just back from outside and came to see me tonight! We used to be especially close, like sisters.

There's truly nothing to worry about, Sister Hua is very capable, different from the maids.

She's staying with me tonight, after all, we're both girls. We'll head to school together in the morning."

Wu Wen actively approached, using her hands to push against the Faceless Man.

This contact softened his heart, causing him to retreat and leave.

Click! The door closed.

"Is this the first?"

Hua Yuan's body suddenly swayed. She quickly held onto the wooden table beside her to keep from falling, "By the way, is it really okay for Wu Wen to do this? That person seems to be monitoring you; could he be eavesdropping on our conversation right now?"

"You're overthinking it, Mr. Qu's consciousness is incomplete and his thoughts are simple. He's merely concerned about his sister, and I've inherited the identity of his sister.

He greatly respects my opinion and would never invade privacy. He only comes around when he senses another presence approaching me.

I'm afraid I can't let Luo Di out tonight, especially with Sister Hua here. If Mr. Qu discovers, I wouldn't be able to explain.

You should both return first, or..."

Hua Yuan directly sat down on the edge of the bed, "If he's not a voyeur, it's easy to handle. Just keep Luo Di inside, doesn't that solve it? That kid's quite worried about your condition and won't leave without a thorough understanding tonight.

Besides, I'm back on leave this time and have to return to the comic store tomorrow.

Come on, let's get into the beddings and have an in-depth talk! I'm also very curious about your transformations and the matters of NO.1.

Let's hurry and start our late-night storytelling session!"

On the big bed,

Hua Yuan used her newly acquired ability to completely homogenize the inside of the quilt, using it as her personal body cavity. Thus, the three of them hid within the bedding for a secret private chat.

First thing's for sure,

Wu Wen fully retained herself; the mermaid creature's consciousness had long dissipated, and Wu Wen had inherited the creature's traits and some memories through the birthing of a new life.

This inheritance caused Mr. Qu to view her as "sister."

Wu Wen also proceeded to recount the siblings' detailed experience in the Corner.

While the siblings were still human, their parents died on the battlefield. They depended on each other, growing up together, and due to a special talent, they were chosen as members of an expedition team, accompanying the Su Country's expedition team on a perilous, undeveloped exploration of the United Nations Territory soil.

Without any intel, the whole team got sucked into the Corner.

Direct contact between the human body and the Corner environment, even the most carefully chosen humans, were almost instantly consumed by Fear.

Only the siblings barely held on, relying on each other, just like in their childhood.

Nevertheless, the dense Fear Entities mixing in the air were constantly altering them.

The brother's body began to wither away as all his flesh dissolved.

The sister's body started growing fish scales, which was what she feared the most, and she spent a long time each day removing the scales, often tearing herself bloody.

At that time, the Corner System was not yet complete, and the transformation process of the two was very strange.

Ultimately, the brother completely dissolved into a puddle of meat with shallow consciousness.

The sister, covered entirely in fish scales, could only store this flesh, carrying it with her at all times.

"What happened next?"

Hua Yuan was listening intently, feeling inspired for her comic creation.

Wu Wen, however, shook her head, "The memories I obtained are incomplete, ending here… I don't know what exactly they encountered that led to Qu Shuiyao's death.

The Corner was also very chaotic back then, with no basic hierarchical distinction completed.

Moreover, the siblings transited directly from "humans" to "monsters," and their brains were affected to some degree irreversibly.

Mr. Qu has significant, unrepairable brain damage, and I'll be taking him for campus life activities, hoping for some slight improvement."

"Ah~ such a good story ending halfway."

Just then, a snore could be heard.

The already exhausted Luo Di had fallen asleep, unaware that the two girls were sporting a sly grin and began engaging in some secret sister activities.

Luo Di seemed to dream, dreaming of the two sisters coming over as guests.

The three of them ate, watched movies together, but the sisters stuck close, whispering sweetly, ignoring him instead.

And yet, it rained continuously outside, with inexplicable dampness indoors...

Ps: It's both my mom's and mother-in-law's birthday tonight, I need to book meals and a cake, so I'll probably be quite late. The second update might come a bit later.
