Deep in the Living
Chapter 62 - 62 58 The Class President's Decision

62: Chapter 58: The Class President’s Decision 62: Chapter 58: The Class President’s Decision Luo Di immediately guessed the current situation based on his companions’ reactions and the itching sensation on his face.

At the same time,

He felt something licking his face, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see a tongue that didn’t belong to him growing out of his cheek, licking him and even about to reach the corner of his mouth.

Whoosh!

With decisiveness beyond that of an ordinary person,

Luo Di hacked down directly onto his own cheek with a knife,

Drip, drip~ blood fell.

The sensation of the tongue licking disappeared, but the itch had moved to the other side, and a woman’s voice came through at the same time.

“Ah~ Such a youthful male body, you’re stronger than any man I’ve ever seen, and your blood tastes so fresh and long-lasting.

I have decided, become my son-in-law, will you?

If you agree, I won’t kill you.

Don’t worry, my daughter is quite pretty, though she’s not quite as good as the one by your side, but she’s going to die soon anyway.”

After hearing such dirty and possessive words, the squad leader’s face turned extremely ugly.

His body twitched slightly, and it felt like his crowbar could smash out at any time.

However,

Luo Di here made no move and did not swing his knife at the other half of his face like before.

The woman’s voice continued to come from the side of his face: “Why are you not speaking?

Do you enjoy maintaining this state with ‘auntie’?

No worries, auntie just happens to have killed my previous husband two years ago and is now single.

My daughter is still young, so let her slowly find someone later~ You can live with auntie.”

Shortly after the woman finished speaking,

A sharp pain came, as if some kind of corrosive poison was eroding her skin.

Hiss!

The streetlights flickered wildly,

The woman’s face that existed on Luo Di’s cheek had disappeared, replaced by a half-zombified face formed by the infection of the wound on his cheek.

Skin Woman was hanging on the streetlight ten meters away again.

Part of her face was blackened by Corpse Poison, but as she took out her rouge and touched up her makeup, the encroachment of the Corpse Poison was concealed and dispelled.

“You all are truly excellent, no wonder my good-for-nothing daughter ranks so low at this school.

Auntie can hardly wait to take you home~”

As her voice fell, the lights flickered, and the woman hanging from the streetlight disappeared again.

Having just come into close contact, Luo Di was able to confirm the other party’s Fear Embodiment,

[Skin]

This was different from any Pseudo-Person he had encountered before, and to a certain extent, it even stepped out of the constraint of the word “Human.”

Flesh and bones had completely disappeared, or rather, perfectly integrated into the Skin.

Moving solely as the Skin entity, while also possessing excellent Disguise abilities, it could even disguise itself as a wall or floor structure, making it hard to discern in dim environments.

Once close, it could crawl onto a person’s body and enter their skin.

Luo Di had the Zombie Blade, so that was a different story,

But if the opponent climbed onto the squad leader or Xiao Ying’s body, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if Luo Di injected them with Corpse Poison as soon as possible, it might not be able to drive the woman away, and the Corpse Poison itself would also cause considerable damage to the human body.

The current situation can be said to be quite bad,

“Is this the Pseudo-Person qualified to be recognized by the Corner, allowed to undergo interstice screening?”

The three of them were still shoulder to shoulder, wary of the Skin that could approach at any time.

But the opponent seemed to have patience, still waiting in the dark for the perfect moment, waiting for the instant when someone’s guard was down to attach to their body.

This kind of stalemate was not the answer.

Suddenly, the squad leader’s voice came from the side: “Luo Di, even for you, it’s difficult to kill this specially constituted Pseudo-Person, and if we keep this up, we’ll all die.

Even if we could keep dragging this out, there could be three or more Pseudo-Person that might find this place at any time, and once we’re caught in a pincer attack, we’re doomed.

This old lady might not be able to catch up with my speed, and if I can just make it to the Security Room by the teaching buildings, I might be saved.

Take good care of Xiao Ying.”

Luo Di was stunned for a moment; the squad leader’s proposed solution seemed to be the only way out of the current dilemma.

He did not attempt to stop her or say any pointless words.

After a moment of silence,

Luo Di simply stated, “I’ll get there as fast as I can.”

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

The squad leader was already in a standard throwing posture,

With the support of the investigator’s uniform, her entire body began to exert force,

Taking a step forward,

Strength originated at the heels, amplified by the collaborative effort of the entire body’s muscles, and eventually transferred to the arms,

Twisting waist and turning back,

Whizz!

The crowbar in hand was thrown out with a whistling sound, rapidly spinning as it struck a dimmer spot on the wall.

Clang!

It heavily struck the wall, creating a slender crack with an unnatural tremble radiating around it.

After the throw,

The class leader immediately switched to a running posture, leaning forward close to 45 degrees in the upper body, sprinting off in a monstrous and exaggerated manner, moving even faster than the previous record-breaking sprint.

Circling back to the previously passed crossroads, he then headed towards the direction of the teaching building.

Sure enough,

The woman, whose disguise head was burst open by the crowbar and struck yet again by the throw,

Determined to snatch the class leader’s brain to resurrect her daughter, promptly gave chase without delay.

Skin moved swiftly along the wall, nearly matching the class leader’s speed.

Luo Di, even if wanting to pursue, simply couldn’t catch up.

Since the class leader was risking it all to break the situation, he hesitated no longer, promptly packing up the Zombie Blade to head towards the direction of the Sports Center.

To his surprise, Xiao Ying had already run fifty meters away.

“Luo Di, hurry up!!

Let’s quickly find the teachers and meet up, then bring the head teacher to the Security Room to join the class leader!

Quick!”

Xiao Ying was on the verge of tears just moments ago, but her brain made the correct decision instantly.

Rather than feeling sad, it was better to gather more people as quickly as possible, confident that there would be enough time to rescue the class leader.

The two also sprinted towards the Sports Center at their top speed,

Though the roads seemed elongated, the guidance of the signs was accurate.

Soon, a large opening in the perimeter wall appeared, and conveniently, a wooden sign labelled [Sports Center] was erected right next to the opening.

When the two left the corridor framed by the wall and stepped into the range of the track and field, they simultaneously halted their steps.

In front of them, the track field, where a large number of students should have been gathered,

Had neither the scene of mass student mutation they had anticipated, nor the scene of the PE teacher having completely controlled the situation

Quiet and soundless,

An entire open track field, startlingly empty of even a single person.

The only visible item was a metal square coffin, used for [Admissions confrontations], standing erect in the center of the field.

Odd,

Luo Di’s brain was filled with question marks,

With [interstice screening] covering the entire campus, the PE teacher should have certainly been able to make immediate judgments,

As opposed to the convoluted, muddled space of the gymnasium, the open and spacious track field should be the more suitable place for everyone to assemble.

Yet, not a single person was in sight, with the entire ground appearing “clean.”

Logically speaking,

If the dormitory manager’s mutation also happened to the students, and some of those gathered at the track field mutated and attempted to threaten the lives of other normal students, the PE teacher would surely have taken decisive action, and yet there were hardly any bodies to be seen.

Only a few incomplete body parts could be seen around the outskirts of the track,

Where did the people go?

Where did the bodies go?

What could have caused the PE teachers to fully evacuate the track field?

Because of the urgency with the class leader, they had to quickly meet up with the PE teachers, so the two stepped into the deserted track field without further delay.

Although there was no smell from the outside,

As soon as they entered the track, a strong stench of blood invaded their nostrils, twisting their esophagus and stomach.

Xiao Ying, who smelled such a strong scent of blood for the first time, couldn’t help but cover her mouth, doing her best to suppress the urge to vomit.

Luo Di, on the other hand, was already squatting in front of the fragments of bodies on the track, carefully observing.

The wounds on these pieces were varied: cuts, tears, and even signs of melting by strong acid.

“It must be the work of Pseudo-Persons…

but why are there only a few remains around the track?”

Just as Luo Di was pondering,

Having just adapted to the smell, Xiao Ying immediately exclaimed, “There’s someone over there!”

Indeed, standing behind the metal square coffin erected in the center of the track field, which was used to detain the [Derivative], was a person.

Earlier, the two of them could not see from the periphery of the track field due to the angle.

Luo Di also looked over,

Due to the lighting, from such a distance they could only see a pitch-black human silhouette, and a pair of leather shoes stepping on the grass, unable to discern the face clearly.

But for Luo Di, just the silhouette and part of the attire were enough to make out the figure.

The only person in the entire school wearing a uniform and with such a slender build was just one.

“Mr.

Guo?”
