Coffin and Supermarket

When Luo Di woke up on the sofa, there was no one beside him.

Having slept sitting up all night, Luo Di seemed to have a stiff neck. He gripped his cervical spine with both hands and snapped it back into place!

"Was I too tired... I fell asleep before the movie was even finished."

I checked the time and it was already past four in the afternoon.

Just as he was about to go out to look for someone, the door opened.

Hua Yuan and Wu Wen returned from outside together, carrying large and small bags of things, mostly food.

Looking at Luo Di, who had just woken up on the sofa, Hua Yuan looked displeased and teased:

"Hey~ Technician, you're awake? Hurry up and get ready, we need to leave."

"Aren't we in a hurry to go to the clown's place?"

"Who said we were going to the amusement park? We accompanied you to improve your rank and participate in games before, now it's your turn to accompany us."

Dealing with the Joker won't be easy; you'll have to prepare in advance.

We're going to buy some essentials, mainly for ourselves, and also to broaden your horizons. We also need to improve our skills, otherwise it'll be difficult to pop the balloons.

"Why didn't you buy it in the City of Sin before?"

"The City of Sin is not a trading city. Most of the things sold there are related to entertainment. Even if there are functional items for sale, they are mostly transit goods, and the prices are relatively high."

We're going to a real trading center.

Upon hearing this, Luo Di couldn't help but think of the "Hell Merchants Guild," a business that sold goods in the True Hell, and perhaps there were similar organizations in some corner of the underworld.

Hua Yuan continued to explain, "The corner is currently in the exploration and development stage."

The resources here are far greater than those on the Earth's surface.

To encourage our exploration, the corner itself also offers various bizarre rewards in some mysterious areas and Fear Event.

The abundance of resources can be matched with different types of monsters, but it also means that many things are not suitable.

Therefore, a large trading market is needed to distribute resources, so that everyone can obtain the resources that suit them and thus move towards in-depth exploration.

You'll see when we get there, but the journey will be quite long. If you haven't had enough sleep, you can continue sleeping on the bus later.

Luo Di, however, seemed uninterested. "But I don't have much money on me, and it seems I can't buy much."

In his view, not having money to spend is basically a waste of time, so it's better to stay in the women's apartment.

He could both discuss death with Yu Lu and practice with his Grandmother by paying the rent every three days.

"Don't worry, we have money."

I could lend you the money then. Besides, don't even think about not going; this shopping trip is to prepare for the amusement park trip.

"Could it be that they won the money by betting on me?"

Luo Di remembered very clearly that Hua Yuan didn't have many Corner Coin of her small purse before, but now it seemed like she had become much more extravagant.

"Never mind that~ It's my money anyway, hurry up and wash up, don't waste time!"

At this moment, the class monitor, who had been standing behind Hua Yuan without saying a word, nodded slightly, signaling Luo Di to follow along.

The latter could only helplessly go to wash up. Luo Di was really tired. He had planned to stay in the apartment for a while to consolidate his strength, but he didn't expect that he would have to set off again as soon as he woke up.

It's still the same Living Body Bus.

This time, however, neither Yu Lu nor Miss Juan were in the carriage.

The journey was expected to take a full day and a half. Considering that the trip would be rather boring, Wu Wen specially brought the television from Hua Yuan's dormitory onto the bus.

This type of television, which operates by relying on the Fear Entity, does not require any power source and can work indefinitely simply by being exposed to a corner environment.

Fear is energy; fear is the foundation of all material transmission.

They switched back to the Murderer Radio and continued watching the movie they hadn't finished the night before.

Hua Yuan, who was sitting opposite, also came over. Although she scoffed at this old-fashioned plot, perhaps because of the atmosphere, she gradually started to watch it seriously.

Moreover, as the cola and various snacks entered my mouth, the relaxed and pleasant feeling made my whole body feel comfortable, and my body even slowly went limp and completely relaxed.

When Hua Yuan lived in the Orphanage, she would watch movies with her teachers and classmates, but after she left, she rarely had the opportunity to watch movies with them.

When Wu Wen and Luo Di discussed the characters and plot, she pretended not to care, but she was still listening very attentively and trying to participate in their discussion.

She seemed to understand a little why Wu Wen chose to watch a movie last night, despite having such a good opportunity.

Such leisure time flies by, and before you know it, you've been driving all day.

The trip went very smoothly, without any interference from the tongue or any encounters with clowns.

As night fell, it was originally planned that three people would take turns keeping watch.

Wu Wen placed her palm on the carriage, transmitting some kind of physical energy.

The car's structure was transformed, giving it a delicate skin similar to Wu Wen's, covered with pores and sensitive hair structures.

Any monster attempting to damage the vehicle will be detected.

Not to be outdone, Hua Yuan spat out several plant seeds that exuded an aura of fear and planted them in the gaps between the flesh and blood of the carriage.

Roots spread,

Soon, a large number of black and white flowers resembling human faces grew on the outside of the carriage. These flowers had sensory structures and would react immediately if they saw danger or smelled a odor.

Luo Di didn't unleash his power; he simply had the crow stand by the car window, its Eye of Hell embedded in its brow able to see through many things.

I fell asleep peacefully.

Gaa~ Gaa!

The cawing of the ravens woke Luo Di.

He didn't even have time to appreciate the two Girl lying beside him; he immediately got up and went to the window.

There were no urban structures outside, but rather a vast, desolate wilderness with mountains about a hundred meters high not far away.

Something seems to be hidden inside the mountains...

"Coffin?"

A pitch-black coffin, larger than the mountain itself, sits among the peaks.

Luo Di could also see many different types of vehicles, or monsters walking around, all approaching the coffin.

Even through the car window, one could feel the intense, palpable Fear Entity permeating the air.

He could almost see these Fear Entity materialize into a Flesh and Blood Scale, corresponding to the "disaster" in this area.

At this moment, two soft arms gently rested on Luo Di's shoulders, and lips lightly touched his earlobe.

"Transaction Calamity" - any individual engaging in transactions here, whether verbal or written.

If a trader cannot pay a sufficient amount of Corner Coin, or cannot provide goods of equivalent quality, the trader will be directly affected by the disaster, becoming a "supermarket employee" for all eternity.

"Supermarket?"

"Yes." The pale finger pointed to the black coffin among the mountains. "That is the largest supermarket in the grove. It is a special building formed by combining the grove with the Human World's comprehensive supermarket and Fear Entity. It is managed by the Corner Consciousness, not by monsters like in the City of Sin."

This is currently the largest known fear trading center in the corner.

You don't have to worry about being scammed here; you can buy goods of equal value for any price.

It's called the "Black Coffin Comprehensive Shopping Center."

"A supermarket..."

For some reason,

It is clearly a coffin, and it is clearly placed in a corner.

Luo Di recalled the scene when he first met the class monitor and went out for the first time at the invitation of a classmate. The agreed meeting place was a supermarket.

Everyone purchased the necessary supplies for the simulation practice.

Through the class monitor's introduction, he met Gao Yuxuan and Anna, and for the first time bought a chainsaw and knife for killing in a supermarket.

The current situation is so similar.

I went to the supermarket to shop in order to get to the amusement park.

Only the people have changed.

As the vehicle pulled up in front of the black coffin, Luo Di realized that this really was a "supermarket".

The enormous black coffin wasn't placed on the ground, but suspended about twenty meters in the air, its base corresponding to the [parking lot].

One by one, uniformed supermarket employees, whose brains are transformed into Flesh and Blood Scale, are responsible for guiding vehicles here.

They all had the supermarket logo—"the Scale on a Coffin"—printed on their chests.

The parking lot is enormous; even with a large number of monsters arriving, it's still not full.

I suppose the design of such a large space was for future considerations.

After all, the longer something exists in the shadows, the more and more Pseudo-Human will advance. And on the human side, as exploration deepens, more and more agents will be produced.

As soon as Luo Di got out of the car, Crow suddenly turned his head 180 degrees and looked at a corner of the parking lot.

A balloon was floating behind the truck, and it could be seen through the side mirror.

"They're really persistent..."

Wu Wen looked over curiously, "Did the clown follow us?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry, the supermarkets operating in the corner also have strict rules. We can just shop with peace of mind, no need to..."

Before Wu Wen could finish speaking, something rushed out beside her, so fast that the wind it stirred up even blew her hair out of shape.

[The Invader Stance]

Hua Yuan has already sprinted to the corner of the wall.

His fist was aimed directly at the red balloon, which was the clown's face.

Tiny flower stamens surge from the pores on the surface of a fist; they can not only shatter the skull but also further invade the body.

This murderous intent made even Luo Di's blood boil.

Boom!

A shockwave rippled through the garage area.

Supermarket staff responsible for maintaining order gathered around.

As the smoke and dust cleared,

The clown was still standing there, completely unharmed.

A huge figure blocked his way, forcefully deflecting Hua Yuan's punch with his palm.
