Deep in the Living
Chapter 45 - 45 41 Going Home

45: Chapter 41: Going Home 45: Chapter 41: Going Home On the Investigation Bureau’s exclusive official vehicle.

Luo Di and Wu Wen had just settled into the spacious rear seats when the heating and massage features activated automatically, as if two soft arms were floating around their bodies, instantly doubling their already intense weariness.

The driver’s voice came from the front, “I’ll take you to the family address in your personal information.”

“Hold on…

Let’s discuss this.”

The class rep propped her eyelids as wide as possible with one finger, tilting her head towards Luo Di,

“How about I continue to stay at your place?

And then go back a bit later…

My dad will definitely be happy that we safely got through the anomalous event and received a reward from the Investigation Bureau.

He’ll probably relax his watch over me a bit.

He’ll assume I’m at the Investigation Bureau if I go home late today.

And I really want to watch a movie, plus my clothes are still at your place.”

Luo Di hesitated at the mention of ‘movie’, as the idea of watching one together seemed pretty good, and since the class rep had already been to his place, he eventually nodded in agreement.

“Driver, driver~ Just take us to his place, that’ll be fine!”

The driver was about to refuse based on the regulations of the Investigation Bureau, but when he looked in the rearview mirror, he saw that the two young people had already squeezed into the back seat and fallen asleep.

Such a scene seemed to remind him of his own youth, and with a shake of his head, he stepped on the gas pedal helplessly.

When the two woke up four hours later, the official car had already parked in the outer parking lot of No.

13 Settlement District.

The car was in sleep mode, with the temperature and humidity just right,

and the driver had disappeared from his seat.

As they became more alert, they noticed the driver on the district’s bench not far away, browsing various videos on his bracelet, with an empty bowl of noodles next to him.

Click~ The car door opened.

Seeing that the two young people had gotten out of the car, the driver walked back to the driver’s seat unhurriedly.

“Thank you.” The class rep thanked him politely.

The driver responded with an OK gesture and drove away.

“Brrr~ It’s so cold!

Let’s hurry home!”

The class rep was still wearing the shorts and short-sleeved shirt she borrowed from Luo Di last night, as she hadn’t felt cold while inside the Investigation Bureau or the car.

The district had been completely unsealed,

and as they ran towards the deepest building on the way, they encountered many residents.

Each of them hurried along, carrying large and small bags full of belongings.

The residents who had been hesitant about moving out had decisively chosen to leave after last night’s events.

Luo Di wasn’t concerned with this; he just wanted to get home quickly.

Once again stepping onto the familiar stairwell of the apartment building and seeing the mottled wall with the floor number[three], the place was already plastered with the Investigation Bureau’s seals, and the members responsible for the aftermath were collecting pheromones left behind inside.

The two continued upward, arriving at the door of the top-floor home.

Unbeknownst to them, before Luo Di could pull out his key, the door was opened from the inside.

Three workers dressed in protective suits were also collecting remnants of the Pseudo-Person’s activities in Luo Di’s home, and they took the opportunity to give it a thorough cleaning, wrapping up their work just then.

After mutual identity checks, Luo Di and the class rep finally returned to the warmth of the normal home, with nothing damaged or out of place.

Looking at the unchanged condition of his home, Luo Di also let out a sigh of relief.

[Half an hour later]

The class rep stepped out from the bathroom, still wearing Luo Di’s short-sleeved shirt.

Compared to before the shower, the whole house was filled with a rich aroma, and her appetite was immediately enticed.

Luo Di pointed to the freshly made fried egg noodles on the dining table, “Let’s just make do with this for lunch.

I suppose you don’t want to go out for a meal either.”

“Great!

I can eat and watch a movie at the same time!

Here’s to our survival, cheers!”

The class rep lifted her bowl of noodles and clinked it against Luo Di’s,

She felt none of the discomfort from the possession aftermath or the mental pressure that followed surviving a close encounter with death, maintaining the same state as the day before the incident occurred, with happiness written all over her face.

It seemed that nothing could be more blissful in the eyes of the class president than eating snacks while watching a movie.

Luo Di originally wanted to discuss the events of the previous night with the class president, but seeing her eagerness, he changed his mind and decided to talk after watching the movie.

This feeling of watching a movie with someone else wasn’t bad, and at times it was even more enjoyable than watching alone.

As the movie time quickly passed,

The class president, like a diligent student just out of class, immediately started asking about the details of the movie, this interaction gave Luo Di a joy known as “sharing.”

However, as the sharing came to an end, the topic gradually veered off course.

“Class president, you were able to wake up in time last night.”

“Isn’t that obvious?

I happened to have met the suspect on the third floor during the day, and I also happened to fit the victim’s profile.

Plus, you, this guy, unusually changed your usual habit of sleeping on the sofa last night and instead let me sleep in your bedroom, I guess you must have sensed some kind of danger.

With all these factors combined, how could I sleep peacefully?

Besides, I’ve been trained for sleep disturbances ~ I will automatically wake up at the slightest disturbance at night.

I was already awake when you got out of bed.

On the other hand, you somehow coincidentally went to the bathroom…

What’s the deal, Luo Di?”

Faced with the class president’s questions, Luo Di had no intention of hiding and shared the nightmare induced by the Hell Tongue.

“Is it really that tongue we encountered during the practicum?

It makes sense that your Demon Possession has been completely removed, yet you still received a danger warning?

Be careful~ the Corner’s assaults are everywhere.

If something feels off, remember to contact the Investigation Bureau immediately.”

“Mm.” Luo Di nodded, not seeming to care.

The class president’s furrowed brows soon relaxed, “Maybe it’s not a big issue~ After all, half a year has passed, and you go to the Investigation Bureau for check-ups every month.

You are unaffected yourself, it might just be your innate danger warning.

Sigh~ It wasn’t easy surviving this time, but our gains weren’t small.

Facing a true Pseudo-Person so early on, especially one that has been around for a year, this experience will certainly boost my admissions chances.

The most important thing is,

the Investigation Bureau is actually willing to give me one of their Combat Uniforms~ Just thinking about it excites me.”

“Is there something special about that thing?” Luo Di was unaware of this knowledge outside of textbooks.

“I only heard about it from a tutor.

The investigator’s attire uses a special technology, not just human tech, but it might have something to do with the anomaly technology from inside the Corner.

Although it’s only a simplified version, the basic functions should still be there.

How about this!

In a few days, once I receive the clothes, I’ll accompany you to the Investigation Bureau to collect your reward.

I also want to see what your knife would look like if it absorbs the Spider Woman’s cerebral blood.”

“Let’s get in touch then.”

The class president, holding a pillow, raised a hand high, “We don’t have much time left~ Let’s continue watching movies!”

In the evening,

Luo Di would continue his nightly training and also took the chance to walk the class president downstairs.

The light bulb taken down by the class president at the corner yesterday had been replaced with a new one,

On the handrails, steps, and occasional spots on the ceiling, one could still see traces of claws,

As they were about to reach the third floor, Wu Wen took the lead, stacking her palms behind her back and slightly swaying them, the movements more pronounced than yesterday’s.

But even as they passed the third floor, nothing seemed to approach.

Her hands were merely stirring the air.

Tsk~ The class president clicked her tongue and stopped.

When Luo Di got to the same step as her, just like last night, she took the initiative to slip her hand into his rough palm that didn’t seem like it belonged to a high schooler, and gently held it.

Although she wanted to complain about something, in the end, only two words squeezed out between her teeth.

“Thank you…”
