Deep in the Living

Chapter 709: Human Body Exhibition


Corpse Refining Shop, red chamber.

[Makeup]

Although it was said to Master Jiang that the lady's wax makeup and Gust's smell transformation would be used for disguise.

But a zombie is a zombie.

Even with wax layers and smell transformation, organizations like the Human Body Exhibition, which specialize in zombies, certainly have deeper inspection methods, with a high risk of exposure.

More advanced techniques must be employed here, such as the disguise Luo Di used to infiltrate the Jiang Mansion.

For this reason, Luo Di also entrusted Gust to convey a message.

After waiting for a moment,

Luo Di felt a stir in his left palm; someone was coming.

As the hole in the palm expanded, footsteps could be heard, light and unmistakably a woman's steps.

A delicate arm emerged, followed by an entire body.

A black-haired girl stepped steadily onto the ground, holding three warm lumps of flesh in her hands, as if freshly stripped from some organism. Each lump corresponded to a monster's pituitary gland and had been "pre-treated."

Although only this girl emerged, it still felt like something was spying from within his palm.

The other party didn't come over, but silently observed the situation here.

Furthermore, several strands of flesh like fibers seemed to crawl out of the palm.

Upon seeing this strange material structure,

whether it was the lady or Uncle Neck, their eyes widened in shock, sweat streaming down!

Even Master Jiang in the Central Mansion sensed danger, a momentary chill of horror, as if fearing death from the decay of his own body.

...

Wu Wen came over just to help with the makeup and would not participate in the operation.

At a glance, she saw the lady hidden under the red makeup, then looked at Luo Di, always maintaining a professional smile.

"Is this Miss Wu Wen?" Lady Linglong initiated the introduction, "Welcome to the Jiang Mansion, I am the lady of the Jiang Family, the overseer of this Corpse Refining Shop, you may call me Linglong.

This is Uncle Neck, the chief steward of the Jiang Mansion. I'm sure Luo Di has already explained the operation in detail to you, and we are grateful for your assistance."

Wu Wen placed her hands on Luo Di's shoulders, smiled snidely, and responded: "Just take good care of him for me."

"Rest assured, Mr. Di saved my life once; even if I were to die, I would ensure his survival."

"Oh... let's get started on the makeup, Luo Di!"

Wu Wen's hands clasped tightly onto Luo Di's face, her fingers almost sinking into the facial muscles, kneading vigorously. The grin reflected in the makeup mirror appeared particularly sinister.

An hour passed.

"I'm going now, wishing you all success with the operation! I'll leave my dear Luo Di in Lady Linglong's care."

"Certainly."

Wu Wen left.

The three had completely changed their appearance, their ranks now resembling that of freshly matured ordinary monsters, even finding corresponding rankings on the Corner Plant Leaderboard, all over 500.

Luo Di and Lady Linglong were set up as a couple, a deliberate move by Wu Wen, as such an identity could make the disguise more seamless.

Uncle Neck was set as a middle-aged gentleman, supposedly having met the couple on the road, deciding to travel together since they all hailed from the City of Sin.

Everything was ready.

The three first headed to the City of Sin, renting a carriage of European style, eliminating as much Huaxia trace as possible.

On the carriage,

Luo Di first asked: "Have you two been to the Exhibition?"

The answer was no.

Uncle Neck scratched his neck, as if irritated by the high-necked gentleman's attire, "When the Master founded the Jiang Mansion, I was the first to join voluntarily and have been operating within the mansion ever since.

At that time, a promoter from the Exhibition did come over to distribute invitations, but the Master tore it up directly. Not only the invitation, but the person was also torn apart.

In his philosophy, no non-Huaxia bloodline could set foot on the Jiang Mansion's territory.

The Exhibition never made trouble, and we never visited."

The lady added, "I encountered trouble shortly after reaching the Corner and was rescued by Uncle Neck to the Jiang Mansion, never leaving since. I only accompanied the master to the City of Sin twice long ago... I remember a formidable monster named Mr. Question Mark here."

"Mr. Question Mark is indeed formidable... If you have no information, I will have to consult with the teacher."

Luo Di opened his palm, tapping its center with a finger.

Immediately, the entire carriage became moist. The lady, snuggling next to Luo Di as a disguised couple, promptly moved away, while Uncle Neck's expression changed drastically, his neck slightly lengthened.

They seemed to see tongues growing densely within the carriage, all wriggling, all licking their skin.

Tap!

The clicking tongue sound ended, and everything inside the carriage was normal.

Except that a tongue grew out from Luo Di's palm, curled up, as though it was begging.

As Mr. Pi and the lady sat upright, the tongue made a pleading sound.

"Could you please give me some tongue to eat, out of pity?"

"Huh?"

"I mean cutting off or pulling out your tongues and giving them to me... If it's inconvenient, I can help."

Regeneration is quite simple for most monsters,

They never expected that the top ten ranked plant, known as [Tongue], a dangerous entity often mentioned by the lord, would appear like a beggar.

The two also pulled out their tongues and handed them over.

"Hmm~ a hint of smoked meat flavor, barely passable.

The other tongue even had cervical vertebra inside, like gnawing on a duck neck, rather unique but still had the familiar smell of decay, just average!

This lady gets a score of 71.

As for you, considering your unique style, a reluctant pass of 60. Remember to work more on your tongue when you have time; I hope next time you donate, it'll taste better."

"Senior, let's discuss the main topic~ talk about the Human Body Exhibition."

"Oh! This I am familiar with, I recall when I was young, not long after the plant matured.

I was wandering around collecting tongues when I discovered a Human Body Exhibition ticket on a prey's corpse.

I must say, it was truly fascinating inside.

I was often completely absorbed by the scenes within, and because of the strict security, I had no chance to steal tongues. So I temporarily suppressed my desires and seriously toured the place as a visitor.

Although there was nothing abnormal during the visit, when I finished and wanted to leave, I found two staff members following me.

Fortunately, I was superior in skill, quickly countered, and took their tongues.

By the time Mr. Rose found out, I had already left. Subsequently, I became interested in the exhibition and gathered some information, thinking about going back to harvest some tongues slowly.

Unfortunately, I encountered Mr. Question Mark, and my interest and plans completely shifted for a time.

However~ I still remember some related information.

[Human Body Exhibition]

The main venue is set in a non-disaster area slightly east of the center, not too far from the City of Sin, but for many ordinary monsters, they've only heard of it, never been there.

The exhibition's origin can be traced back to the establishment of the Corner System, when the first batch of monsters arrived at the Corner.

Mr. Rose was one of the earliest monsters to step into the Corner through selection.

Moreover, he seemed to have experience in building and managing exhibitions in his lifetime, always carrying such plans in his heart; all his actions upon arriving at the Corner were promoting the exhibition's establishment.

Unlike Mr. Jiang's self-made start, through his special charisma and unknown methods, by the time he reached the Middle Layer, Mr. Rose had already gathered quite a few followers.

These followers excelled in slaughter, centered around the Black Door, known back then as "Butchers."

Under Mr. Rose's guidance, they found a rather good geographical location and started the exhibition's construction from scratch, considered the first self-built large-scale structure in the Middle Layer.

It wasn't until ten years later that they held the first public exhibition.

At that time, any monster base, temporary city, or organization of any specification almost all received invitations.

Accompanied by the perfect ending of the exhibition's first display, only a few visitors returned, most remained inside, hence the exhibition's scale continued to expand.

The Corner also awarded it the title of [Organization].

Mr. Rose's name began to spread within the Corner, with many interested monsters coming for it, though most that went eventually became exhibits.

Rumors say that the core members of the Human Body Exhibition never exceed five.

Carrying on their earliest name - [Human Butchers].

Mr. Rose has always been the top butcher, while the other four, though weaker, are all very dangerous... each has an extraordinarily keen smell for the human body, Luo Di, you must be careful.

Besides, Teacher Guo has already said, the school will not intervene in this matter."

"Got it."

The carriage continued along the main road and soon saw a huge billboard standing by the roadside.

The entire billboard was sewn together from human bodies, all skin stripped away, their white bones forming the words.

≮Lifetime free entry to the Human Body Exhibition, welcome to your arrival!≯

Opening the carriage window and looking at the billboard, Luo Di didn't smell any blood, instead there was a fresh scent of flesh...

For some reason, a strange smile appeared on his face.
