Deep in the Living

Chapter 763 Dancing
A few tens of minutes ago,
After Roddy made a deal with the cloth man on the third level of the dungeon (the transition level), there was a note on the surface of the gift box that was cut out from the stomach sac.

This note was not merely a meaningless congratulatory message.

On the back of the note was a message, a message that only Roddy could see.

<My friend, although I don't know why you are still so confident and keep actively accepting the other party's guidance after being permanently marked by this eyeball.>

His hiding place was on the other side of the suspension bridge.

Even if you have prepared your own methods in advance, there are still risks involved.

The "props" in the gift box are considered normal transactions between us. Considering that you did not act greedily throughout the entire process, I will give you a small hint as a bonus for this transaction.

After you receive the gift, in the absolute darkness, recite your monologue, and the old moon will cast a mournful white light.
Roddy knew very well,
The cloth-striped man started by eating the eyeballs, using a special digestive method to affect the opponent's body. Even now that the eyeballs have detached from the stomach, the vision is still unclear.

Only he knew this information.

But whether or not to believe the cloth strip man is another question that needs to be considered.

Roddy went to the primitive dungeon for two reasons.

1. Find the keyhole to insert and obtain his own old relic.

2. Treat and resolve the mark branded on the right eye.

After this period of "indirect interaction," especially after arriving in the dungeon, the various forms of assistance and proactive communication provided by the eyeballs made Roddy very interested in this self-proclaimed false god.

While in the dungeon, the effects of the eye-marking are maximized.

Any attempt by Roddy to remove his eyeballs or to disobey the other party's instructions could severely impair his vision, cause severe hallucinations, or even result in him being controlled remotely.

Meeting the eyeball itself is unavoidable, so there's no need to try anything funny.

Therefore, Roddy cooperated very well throughout the journey, putting all his bets on the last one.

After facing and killing "Maggots" and "Elite Jailers," Roddy's resistance to biological deconstruction has been increasing, and his inherent fear has also been amplified.

He was confident that he could endure the darkness for a while, during which time he could make a life-or-death deal with the eyeballs.

According to the original plan,
Once the eyeball itself is encountered deep within, it will most likely seize control of the consciousness and take control of the body to the ritual chamber.

As the ritual is about to begin, Roddy will wager everything... forcibly regain control of his body and turn the black knife towards himself.

Before heading to the dungeon, the reason why Roddy had followed Hunter for so long to find the feeling he had when he killed Master Jiang was that he could once again unleash the same level of killing power.

His fundamental purpose was not how many ancient creatures Roddy could kill in the dungeon, but that he could sever himself with a single blow.

Roddy dared to gamble like that because the eyeball had placed all the bets on him.

Only Roddy can take him out.

Therefore, he can make a deal as long as he threatens his own life.

This so-called love ritual, according to the description of the eyeballs, is controllable; all that's needed is to make the eyeballs regress.

Retain Roddy's main consciousness and physical control, only granting control over the right eye to the eyeball.

At the same time, Roddy will ensure that after we leave, he finds a more suitable body for the eyeball.

Under such extreme conditions, the other party will inevitably agree.

Moreover, once the two are fused together, Roddy can use this eyeball to achieve another purpose: finding the location of the key.

Kill two birds with one stone.
This was Roddy's original plan.

Of course, such a plan carries risks.

If, at the last minute, the eyeball still refuses to back down, its obsession has reached its extreme, and there is no deal to be made.

It would be terrible if it abandoned Roddy, this special dungeon explorer, and continued to wait for hundreds or thousands of years.

It was precisely because of this risk that, after seeing the action suggestion given by the cloth-wearing man, Roddy temporarily changed his plan and intended to follow his method.

of course,

He himself had to verify the credibility of the plan beforehand.

During the journey to the mine, Roddy was multitasking, only devoting a small portion of his consciousness to controlling his body to move forward.

His conscious mind was in the lunar cellar, standing beneath a pituitary plant, quietly reading this newly acquired ancient book—a book that could be used as a sacrifice for the Blood Bible. He didn't need to delve too deeply; just glancing at the opening to confirm the meaning of that passage was enough.

……

Tonight... I will dance under the moon.

It was just a simple monologue.
But a sliver of white moonlight did indeed descend, like the white seeping from a corpse drained of blood, as if all colors had been swept away by time, leaving only the pale white of the past.

From the moment Roddy came into contact with the corner system, he was associated with the moon.

Whether it's the moonlight appearing in the film system or the crater structure presented by the Ridge of Hell, both are expressions of the moon.

This is all thanks to the initial killings that took place in Lunar City on the night of the lunar eclipse.

But Roddy had never experienced moonlight like this before.

White, but without warmth, nothing at all.

I don't know why,
After finishing his task and inserting the eyeballs into the face of the pig-headed infant, Roddy did not leave the ritual room.

Bathed in moonlight, after reciting his monologue, a primal thought surged into his mind, and he began a solo dance, a solo dance that followed his current emotions.

Or the joy of a successful plan,
Or the excitement of marking and erasing.
Or perhaps they simply want to dance.

Stomping on the soles of her shoes, twisting her waist, biting her lip, closing her eyes, she moved wantonly.

During this process,

The eyeballs that had been deconstructed on Roddy's head slowly disappeared, and gray hair grew back, even longer than usual.

Suddenly... the silence was broken by the cry of a baby.

Roddy's dance steps also came to a halt.

The ceremony is completed.

The infant, who had always been only able to breathe and unable to grow or perform normal activities, cried for the first time.

A brand new life was born.

The only black eye is set in the center of the pig's head, and the entire pigskin is also dyed black.

As the crying stopped, it meant that the infant's life characteristics were activated, and the consciousness of the eyeballs slowly emerged. The first thing he saw was the gray-haired youth squatting in front of him.

"you!!!!"

Luo Di quickly reached out to comfort him, "Don't get excited! You are just a child now, and your body is weak. Forcibly using your abilities may cause the body you worked so hard to obtain to collapse."

Next, I'd like to make a deal with you.

"No...why is this happening! It was that cloth-wearing man, he told you to do this! No, why am I bound to this pig's body, why can't I escape the dungeon?"

The emotions in the eyes grew increasingly agitated, seemingly becoming uncommunicative, and the surrounding darkness trembled in response.

Roddy suddenly drew his knife, the black blade pressed against the surface of his eyeball.

“Listen to me…we just need to make a deal. Once the deal is done, you might be able to come with me out of the cellar and go to the corner where I am.”

Pighead shook his head. "Impossible! No one can leave. Even that temporary prisoner is trapped here forever. The dungeon will not release any prisoners."

My essence hasn't changed; even without being stamped with a prisoner's seal, this pig is still a prisoner's child.

"Don't rush, let me explain."

I came to the Primal Dungeon not to seek divinity, but to enter using a trial ticket. Once I achieve my goal, I will be teleported back.

If the dungeon considers you as my 'possession' or 'pet', you should be able to leave.

After all, this "Descendant of Dirac" was my reward in itself.

Your integration with the rewards may have fundamentally altered your nature.

Of course, this has to do with whether I, as the subject, acknowledge it... So from now on, you need to be obedient and help me find what I want.
