Deep in the Living

Chapter 776 Multi-party Meeting
A quiet night on the campus path.

An elderly man with white hair and a gentlemanly suit followed behind a man wearing a cloth bag over his head.

The two had just come out of the stadium.
During the days that Mr. Question Mark was out of seclusion, he was in charge of the school's academic affairs and student activities during the day, and at night he would have a physical sparring match with Jia Wen, which he was not very good at.

He was trying his best to make up for his shortcomings and prepare for the journey to the dungeon.

Now that Luo Di has returned today, but Teacher Guo has been called away due to an urgent matter, and the meeting needs to be postponed until tomorrow, he plans to talk to Luo Di first.

That curiosity about the "old days" and the "prison" was fully aroused when he deciphered the lame godhood.

If he doesn't see him tonight, he'll probably have a sleepless night.

Downstairs in the dormitory.

The two followed the normal route and entered through the main gate.

The dormitory supervisor was about to reprimand someone for barging into the dormitory building in the middle of the night, but when he saw who it was, he was so frightened that half of his head started spinning.

He knew the school very well; although it was founded by Teacher Guo, most of its affairs were currently managed directly by the academic affairs director.

In a daze, there was no one at the door.

【720】In front of the dormitory.

Mr. Question Mark knocked on the door, but no one came to open it for a long time.

His patience was limited, and given Roddy's current perception, he would have noticed their arrival long ago, even without knocking.

Place your palm on the key, and the door will open.

The bedroom light was on, but there was nothing there except for a little bit of steam coming through the crack in the bathroom door.

Mr. Question Mark quickened his pace and walked over, pushing open the partition door.

Only more steam and residual warmth escaped, and the bathroom was also empty. Two very discordant smells lingered in the mist.

One scent is a refreshing floral fragrance, while the other is nauseating, like an extreme stench from ancient times.

Even the slightest remnant caused Mr. Question Mark, hidden behind his mask, to reveal an expression of extreme disdain, and he felt a slight nausea.

One thing is certain: the two of them had bathed together here before, but now they have suddenly disappeared.

"We came all the way from the stadium, and we're certain no one left the dorms. Has Roddy learned a new trick and gone into hiding?"

Mr. Question Mark extended his right hand and took off his glove.

The flesh in his palm began to collapse, slowly revealing a peculiar question mark structure, with the bottom dot corresponding to the hole.

Use your palms as a guide to sense your surroundings.

No similar hole structures were found, confirming that Roddy did not use his teleportation ability to hide or teleport away.

at this time,

Jia Wen made an unexpected discovery. He didn't participate in the search, but just glanced at the desk by the entrance.

Various textbooks are piled up on top, and at the very bottom, there seems to be a thin book that is not easily noticed.

Take it out and look at it.
It turned out to be a cheap book with a plain white cover and no text, much like the kind of pirated book you buy at a small stall. Naturally, the content inside was also very irregular.

Upon opening it, I discovered it contained comic book content.

The first page contains quite a shocking piece of content. Despite being a pirated book, it features extremely realistic brushstrokes, depicting the misty scene inside the bathroom, with even a hint of warm fog seeping out of the book.

Just as Mr. Question Mark was about to come over to watch together...

A strange sense of being watched suddenly came from the side.

Mr. Question Mark's gaze immediately swept toward the window. Although it was only for a moment, he clearly caught sight of a dark eyeball crawling on it with tentacles, spying on the interior of the dormitory.

"Is that the eye Roddy brought back? Something's not right..."

At the same time,
Boom boom boom!
A series of urgent knocks interrupted his thoughts, and Jia Wen subconsciously closed the comic book.

His first thought was that Roddy, who had been out, had returned, but then he realized something was amiss.

Mr. Question Mark stepped forward and opened the door himself, even raising his hand to signal Jia Wen to prepare for battle, as the visitor might be hostile.

The door opens.

A splash of crimson crimson rushed in. Wu Wen stood at the doorway, while the faceless man had already entered the room and was standing behind Mr. Question Mark and his companion.

Wu Wen feigned surprise, "Huh? Mr. Question Mark, Ms. Jia, what are you doing here?"

"Then what are you doing here, Teacher Wu?"

Wu Wen smiled and replied, "We... of course we're here to find Luo Di. Didn't he just come back from the dungeon?"

"I am the same as Jia Wen."

"did you find it?"

"Not yet, but I'm certain Roddy is in this room. But how did the dungeon creature Roddy brought back end up in your hands?"

"This eyeball came to spy on the villa area, but my brother discovered it, found it suspicious, and arrested it. We came here so late to see what was going on; maybe Roddy accidentally lost it."

"Is that so?"

Mr. Question Mark had roughly guessed the purpose of Wu Wen and Mr. Qu's visit.

"What kind of book is this?"

Wu Wen had already noticed the suspicious book on the table. When she went over and opened it, the two-dimensional lines inside overflowed and instantly covered the current area.

These lines quickly replaced the current dormitory room, erasing the color and turning it into black and white.

Everyone was pulled into a comic book space.

And the person everyone is looking for, Roddy, is right here.

Sitting alone by the window, the moonlight bathing my face, I close my eyes in deep thought, muttering to myself.

It was as if a silvery-white book was hanging in front of me, yet it also seemed as if there was nothing there at all.

As for Hua Yuan, the creator of the comic space, he was too tired from constantly rushing to meet deadlines, so he was resting on a separate bed, fully dressed and wearing a very conservative bear pajama set.

Even with so many people coming in, she wasn't awakened, which shows how soundly she was sleeping.

Luo Di slowly opened his eyes, returning from his moment of enlightenment to reality.

"Why is everyone here? I will explain the information about the dungeon in detail at tomorrow's meeting. I am in good condition tonight and am currently integrating my experiences in the dungeon under the special moonlight."

To avoid being disturbed, I specifically asked Hua Yuan to help create this comic space.

Hua Yuan just got back from the comic book store. She hadn't slept for several days, and tonight she could finally get a good night's sleep.

"It's true that I was too hasty. Let's discuss it in detail at tomorrow's meeting."

Mr. Question Mark reached out and opened the door. Even though this was a comic book world, he could still make the other side of the door lead to reality.

Mr. Qu did not leave immediately, but instead looked around.

He sensed Luo Di's physical essence and Hua Yuan's genuine drowsiness, and nodded in satisfaction.

He then whispered in Wu Wen's ear, this time completely acknowledging Luo Di and agreeing once again that Wu Wen could stay here tonight.

Blood and flesh flowed away, leaving only three people inside the house.

As the greatest threat disappeared, they left.

Wu Wen's right eye loosened and separated, quickly rolling back into Luo Di's arms, transforming into the shape of an infant.

Wu Wen walked to the windowsill with a smile, gently pressed herself against Luo Di's back, wrapped her delicate hands around his neck, and pressed her thin lips to his ear, revealing a genuinely satisfied smile.

"Roddy, your mind is getting smarter and smarter~ This plan is very well laid out."

By deliberately letting those eyes come closer, I'll be accidentally discovered by my brother, inadvertently revealing information. Then I can legitimately lead my brother to catch you in the act, further deepening my trust in you.

"Now that's it, brother completely accepts you. It seems the dungeon really is a good place; even my mind has been greatly honed."

"Ah... um..."

In a spot unnoticed by Wu Wen, Luo Di quickly evaporated his cold sweat.

Hua Yuan's lips and tongue moved slightly beneath the covers. She was indeed asleep, but seemed to be savoring something.
