Deep in the Living
Chapter 63 - 63 59 Encounter

63: Chapter 59 Encounter 63: Chapter 59 Encounter “Mr.

Guo?”

Xiao Ying, upon hearing this familiar name, also immediately recalled something, “Could it be the cultural studies teacher from class one?

What’s he doing here?

Could it be…”

As the two people standing at the entrance of the track and field were discussing each other’s identities,

the dark figure in front of the metal container turned its head towards them after dealing with the important task at hand.

Buzz!

A powerful sense of dizziness overwhelmed the brain,

Xiao Ying felt the world spinning, as if everything fell into a vortex, and she fell straight to the ground.

Beside her, Luo Di also staggered to one knee, supporting himself with sheer willpower, not collapsing completely.

The dizzying sensation lingering in their brains did not persist,

when the dizziness subsided,

and the two of them got up at the first opportunity,

Mr.

Guo, who had previously been in the middle of the track, had now arrived in front of them.

Luo Di, too, instinctively gripped the Zombie Blade in his hand, but out of respect for the teacher-student relationship, reverence for this teacher, and quick judgment of the situation at hand, he did not swing the blade immediately but addressed him respectfully as a student:

“Mr.

Guo.”

Of course,

the tightly clenched right hand was poised and ready to strike if the other party made any sudden moves, Luo Di would also immediately draw his blade.

It had been assumed that Mr.

Guo, like other Fake Humans, would have completely abandoned his human nature under the influence of “Whisper in the Corner,” killing humans as some reward or fulfillment of desire.

Unexpectedly, Mr.

Guo nodded his head as usual, and even in his gaze towards Luo Di, there was a mix of admiration.

“Mm, Luo Di from senior grade three, class five, I remember you, a very distinctive student.

I worked overtime to grade all the students’ papers in a subjective manner before the formation of the ‘Seam,’ and your score was 93, which is a big improvement over the past.

Furthermore, on the final large question about the philosophy of life and death, besides the stuff from the textbooks, you also wrote your own insights, which were very interesting.

I even learned something from your answers.

It seems you must have encountered a real moment of life and death and often contemplate this issue.

Very good.”

“Thank you, Mr.

Guo.”

“By the way, where is Wu Wen, the class leader who usually walks with you?”

“She…”

Luo Di was about to tell the truth, but a sudden thought flashed in the depths of his mind, and he immediately changed his current statement.

“On the way here, we encountered a very powerful Pseudo-Person and got separated.

I also don’t know where the class leader went, and now we’re heading to the Sports Center to find the physical education teacher for help to look for her.”

Mr.

Guo did not doubt Luo Di’s words, “Can you tell me any characteristics of the Pseudo-Person you encountered?”

“A parent of a senior grade three student, the whole body has turned to skin, moving swiftly and good at concealing.”

“Mm.” Mr.

Guo nodded and solemnly warned: “Don’t go to the Sports Center now, its spatial complexity is the most chaotic among the whole school; you can easily get lost in it.

As reciprocation for the information you just provided, let me tell you something as well.

A rather troublesome ‘creature’ is using its spatial hegemony there to conduct a blood hunt, belonging to the flesh type of Fake Humans capable of easily taking human flesh.

That creature is not something you can deal with; encountering it would lead to a dead end.

Head to the dormitory, find a bedroom to hide in.

That should be the safest place in the school, with no equal, the vortex will ensure you are not pursued.

Hiding until everything’s over should not be a problem, I will shorten the duration of the entire ‘Seam’ as much as possible, end this all sooner, and minimize unnecessary casualties among teachers and students.”

“Thank you, but we must find the class leader.”

“Indeed, it fits your style of answering quite well, then I can only wish you good luck.

Although I appreciate Wu Wen as a student as well, I have other things to take care of.”

“Goodbye, Mr.

Guo.”

Mr.

Guo walked past them, grazing their shoulders,

even though he emitted no aura, Luo Di felt an unprecedented sense of danger, and his tongue clicked unconsciously.

However, dangerous as it was, Mr.

Guo showed no hostility.

When they turned their heads, Mr.

Guo had already left through the exit behind them,

And the green grass that had been stepped on by Mr.

Guo, all behaved in a patterned curling, forming whirlpools of various sizes.

Even the sleeves on Luo Di’s side showed a swirled wrinkling.

Xiao Ying was utterly bewildered, and in a trembling voice whispered, “Luo Di…

is Mr.

Guo really a Pseudo-Person?

Why doesn’t he kill us, and why does he point out a way to survive?

I remember the textbook was very clear, the older a Pseudo-Person gets, the more they are influenced by the Corner, and their whole way of thinking undergoes earth-shattering changes, showing strong anti-social personality traits.”

“He is a Pseudo-Person, but I don’t know why Mr.

Guo can maintain his humanity, or rather, he adheres to some sort of [principle].

If my culture course grades were terrible, or my answers didn’t match his views, I might have been killed as well.”

There was no doubt that Mr.

Guo was a Pseudo-Person, and moreover, a very special one.

Judging by the strength he had shown, the vortex theme that pervaded the entire campus centered directly around Mr.

Guo.

Xiao Ying suddenly came to a conclusion:

“Right!

I know what’s going on here.

According to the information given by Mr.

Guo, two [Mature Pseudo-People] appeared at the Sports Center,

The first is Mr.

Guo,

The second is the flesh-and-blood Pseudo-Person Mr.

Guo told us about, who is currently hunting and killing rampantly inside the gymnasium.

That flesh-and-blood Pseudo-Person, in order to win the interstice screening, rushed to the Sports Center where the most people were gathered as soon as possible, wanting to absorb the blood and flesh of the teachers and students to further strengthen himself.

He even disguised himself as a student early on, or perhaps he was originally a student, blending in among the classes.

Taking advantage of the influence of the Seam and the mutations of a large number of students on the athletic field,

The chaotic scene provided him with the best opportunity to swiftly hunt and capture the living students on-site and absorb their flesh and blood to bolster his own strength.

The chaos was so intense that even the PE teachers struggled to suppress it quickly.

As the flesh-and-blood Pseudo-Person was rampantly killing and absorbing students and combating PE teachers, Mr.

Guo also arrived here as a Pseudo-Person.

Two powerful special Pseudo-People came together at the Sports Center, coupled with a completely chaotic scene,

The PE teachers could only carry the remaining students and temporarily flee to the gymnasium, trying to converge with the classes inside and integrate their combat power.

As for the flesh-and-blood Pseudo-Person, he must have sensed Mr.

Guo’s ‘dangerousness’ and chose not to confront him directly, abandoning the bodies on the outermost track and immediately pursuing the gymnasium interior.

Only when this guy has absorbed enough blood and flesh, and his strength becomes strong enough, will he launch the final showdown among the Fake Humans.”

Listening to Xiao Ying’s comprehensive speculation, Luo Di nodded.

According to such reasoning, it indeed made sense.

But there remained one question after the whole analysis, “What is Mr.

Guo doing?”

Xiao Ying tapped her head with her finger, unable to think of an answer to this question,

“He neither absorbed bodies nor launched visible campus killings, nor did he attack other Pseudo-People; it seems he’s just ‘loitering’ around.

No, that’s not right.

He was just standing in front of a container, seemingly communicating with something inside?

I don’t know…

But since Mr.

Guo doesn’t intend to make things difficult for us, we might as well not worry about him for now.

What should we do now?

Should we continue to the gymnasium to meet up with the teachers?”

Luo Di was also pondering.

According to the information given by Mr.

Guo, the gymnasium is currently the most complicated region in the entire school, where the effects of the Seam mainly act to trap the most troublesome PE teachers.

Once inside, there is the possibility of getting deeply stuck, completely lost, or even becoming fodder for that flesh-and-blood Pseudo-Person.

Even if they really manage to find the main forces inside the gymnasium and converge with the class teacher Ruan Zhijun, who knows how much time the whole process will delay.

Moreover, the class teacher couldn’t afford to worry about the class president’s situation either, as the current threats had not yet been dealt with.

“Let’s go directly to the teaching building to find the class president.

Maybe the class president has already reached the Security Room, and by joining forces with the Security Team, they should be able to deal with that Skin woman.”

“I was thinking the same.”

Having confirmed their goal,

The two of them quickly crossed the athletic field along the outer track, thus minimizing the distance and reaching the teaching building in the shortest possible time.

However,

Just as the two of them had run to the midsection of the athletic field,

Boom!

A huge noise came from the gymnasium doors,

The steel doors and surrounding walls were broken through by some colossal force, and shards of stone kicked up dust.

Within the dim dust, Luo Di only managed to see the shadowy outline of some huge creature,

As the giant entity moved outward, its size seemed to shrink continuously until it took on a human form.

A man dressed in a school uniform but clearly not of the age appeared in their view.

With a near-bald terrible hairstyle and a belly that clearly hadn’t seen exercise in years,

Despite being hundreds of meters away, the man’s voice carried across clearly:

“Luo Di!

I’ve finally found you!”
