Cinematic Transformation

The School of School of Life Sciences is much larger than the dormitory, consisting of two high-rise buildings equipped with elevators, with a total height of twelve floors. A comprehensive search would inevitably take a considerable amount of time.

In the second-floor corridor,

The squad is running here quickly, dodging the Mist Man might catch up from the Security Room.

Even Mia, who enjoys killing, had no intention of close combat at this moment. The moment she saw the Mist Man, both she and the putrefied creatures inside her were filled with fear.

The other party was clearly not on the same level as them, and could not even be called a "monster," but something else entirely, a being from a more primal corner, which was the main reason for this incident.

Sizzle!

The abandoned building, which had long been without power, had lights on in its passageways.

Moreover, the desktop computers in the offices on both sides of the corridor were also turned on simultaneously, with the screens reflecting half of the man's face and producing mist through his breathing.

"Leave this floor!"

They quickly abandoned their exploration of the floor and hid in the stairwell for a short while.

Before Wu Wen could even catch her breath, she began analyzing the current situation. "This can't go on. It's not just the television set; the other party can also appear directly from 'media' similar to television."

If we want to conduct an investigation, we will definitely need to access the relevant computers and examine the documents.

At present, our actions are a complete dead end.

The only good news is that no matter how many computers or televisions are affected, the Mist Man can only form one, not multiple... In that case, I suggest we split up and act separately.

If they track one of us, the others will have time to search for clues. Once we find a crucial clue directly related to the fog and the remains, we'll shout it out and then leave together.

Mia, standing to the side, touched her own heart. "This is all we can do. Luckily, I have two lives now. I hope I can survive."

Luo Di, however, sat on the steps and did not immediately offer his opinion.

His gaze was fixed on his palm until some bloody holes appeared on its surface... He recalled his experience in the morgue, and the feeling of the mist inside his body.

He made a decision and offered a completely different idea.

"In the horror movies I've watched, the biggest taboo is splitting up; otherwise, we might all die."

Since the other party can appear directly through any screen medium, if we search for information separately on different computers...

If that guy suddenly abandons his pursuit and turns to the person operating the computer, they'll instantly make "zero-distance" contact.

Wu Wen, standing against the wall, gave him a look. "Do you have a better idea?"

"There is one..."

"What?"

"I'll hold this guy off. I hit him on the head last time, he'll probably hold a grudge. As long as I don't die, he shouldn't come after you."

You all need to find clues related to the fog as quickly as possible. I'm the only one who needs to split up.

"Do you want to die? The day before yesterday in the morgue, in less than two minutes, you were practically half dead."

Do you have a better idea?

Luo Di asked the same question in return, Wu Wen was speechless for a moment.

She had been keeping this temporary collaboration a secret, hiding the real thing. She knew very well that the "videotape" was essentially a filter, just like the corner.

If this young woman dies here, her chances of ultimately uncovering the truth behind the mystery and winning will be much higher.

For some reason,

Seeing that the young man in front of her was willing to sacrifice himself, she felt a flutter in her heart, as if something similar had happened to her at some point in the past.

She even moved her body forward, seemingly trying to do something against her will to survive.

She wanted to help; working together would increase their chances of survival compared to acting alone, and it would also buy them more time.

"I'll help..."

He had just offered his opinion when Luo Di raised his hand to stop him.

"Mia probably doesn't know much about computers, so finding relevant clues would be too inefficient. You two have to work together."

Even if I can't hold them off, Mia can buy you some time.

"I can manage on my own. I'm different now than I was two days ago, and having experienced the morgue, I have a deeper understanding of the Mist Man. Perhaps I can survive."

"You..."

During the moment when the two were looking at each other,

A wisp of light blonde hair suddenly drifted over.

A pair of warm, moist lips pressed against his, catching him completely off guard! A powerful tongue, like an axe blade, tried to cut directly into Luo Di's tightly closed teeth.

Mia, who appears petite and adorable,

In reality, everything they do carries a murderous connotation.

The latter, however, kept the door tightly shut and gripped Mia's strong arms with both hands, stopping this "killing" act.

For some reason,

Based on the events that unfolded in the videotape room, he and Mia were indeed facing life and death, but he seemed very uncomfortable in front of Wu Wen, the new member.

"Don't worry, I won't die. Besides, this isn't the time to do that kind of thing."

Mia seemed to notice the strange look in Luo Di's eyes. "Oh? You're quite confident... I also said I'd taste you before you die. Even if you're turned into a zombie, I can still recreate the approximate smell if you really die."

Luo Di just smiled slightly, "You guys should set off now."

Mia carried the iron bucket.

Wu Wen crawled on the wall.

The two quickly went upstairs.

Luo Di adjusted his breathing, spat out a fresh insect egg from his body, and stuck it to the handrail of the passageway.

He felt the blood in his body slowly accelerating as he walked downstairs alone and returned to the lobby.

This is the most spacious area, making it the best place to buy time.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Luo Di's eyes. This seemingly "voluntary sacrifice," which even had a certain sense of seeking death, was actually driven by a selfish motive.

Since the Blood Bible could help him avoid the "Internal Weather" situation, he wanted to fight the Mist Man again.

For a moment,

Perhaps it was intuition,

Perhaps his body sensed something.

Luo Di vaguely sensed that the real clue, or rather the key to uncovering the truth behind the fog and leaving the videotape, was hidden within the Thick Fog.

If one can gain a deep understanding of this Mist Man, one might obtain information that no one else knows.

He knew from the beginning that the eight people on the train were all competitors.

Whoosh—A mouthful of ash was exhaled.

A crescent Waning Moon slowly appeared in the sky above the campus, which was filled with dark clouds.

Moonlight streamed into the abandoned building, illuminating the hallway.

For a moment, the entire hall seemed to change, as if Movie Filter had been applied. If someone happened to be standing at the entrance watching, they would feel like they were watching a movie.

[Cinematic Transformation]

Click click click~ Bones grow, body strengthens.

Luo Di began to experience physical changes due to the influence of the film industry.

This time,

He didn't fully amplify his Hellish Ability like he did in the cellar, instead displaying the [Great Demon Form] he currently possessed. While that form was powerful, it wasn't advantageous in this kind of unbalanced confrontation.

No matter how powerful the physical body is, it will still be wiped out by the Thick Fog.

To buy enough time and to gain a deeper understanding of the Mist Man, what he needs is not overwhelming combat power or extreme heat.

Rather, it is "immortal".

Having experienced that severe blood loss, Luo Di was able to combine the Blood Bible with his own Undying Trait to a certain extent.

This is the real reason why he is confident in facing it alone.

<Cinematic Transformation in progress>

<Played by: Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th)>

<Due to the availability of the corresponding Literary Prop (Metal Bat), the Mimicry Rate is boosted due to the enhanced performance effect, reaching [B+].>

Character-specific traits have been acquired:

"Undying Murderer", "Robust Physique", "Weapon Mastery".

An individual with a specific Blood Fear Item has been detected. This item will support this imitation, continuously providing the "Prop Blood" needed for the film.

In the blink of an eye,

Under the moonlight

The lobby setup is complete.

The spot where Luo Di stood turned into a lake, and the Security Room became a Lakeside Hut playing a television program.

Ripples spread across the surface of the lake.

Wearing a hockey mask, a canvas work jacket, and Rubber Boots, Luo Di walked onto the lakeside.

However, the lake, the shore, and even the small house with its lights on were all shrouded in mist.
