Malice

Warning! Warning!

You are currently in the supermarket area. Your vandalism will lower your reputation score. If the fighting continues and damages the supermarket's public facilities, you will not only have to pay for repairs but will also be permanently blacklisted by the supermarket.

Hua Yuan had been accumulating too many negative emotions in her mind lately, and when she saw this clown destroying the Flower Garden, she couldn't hold back her emotions.

She didn't even think before she switched to the "Invader Stance".

This attitude is very different from when he was still Pseudo-Human.

Masculinization is no longer confined to a single organ.

Her skin pores were filled with flower-like structures poised to bloom.

Physical functions have been greatly improved.

To penetrate, destroy, damage, or invade.

However,

Hua Yuan's punch was blocked by something, and even the flower stamen hidden between his fists could not be effectively penetrated.

A hand covered in calluses, lumps of fat, and stitches gripped Hua Yuan's fist.

The special structure of the palm blocked the invasion. Not only that, the huge palm also pinched, wrapped, and stroked Hua Yuan's fist.

A man over 2.5 meters tall stood between her and the clown.

A strong, uneasy feeling emanated from the other person.

Just smelling this scent reminded Hua Yuan of his past experiences, of the people he had met in the alleyways... and the scent was even stronger, indicating that the monster before him was a true 'criminal' whose crimes far exceeded his imagination.

Full-scale stress response.

Her brain seemed to be about to completely split open at this moment, about to reveal an even purer form.

At the critical moment,

Snap!

Her hand was taken, and the familiar touch seemed to be leading her out of the alley.

With a strong pull, he shielded her behind him.

A tall, dark figure blocked her view, obstructing her direct line of sight to the other person.

at the same time,

Wu Wen appeared from behind and gently took Hua Yuan's arm.

"Sister Hua, calm down... Fighting here is the worst thing you can do. You'll run out of money later. Let Luo Di handle it; it's his own business."

As Wu Wen spoke, she provided a physical massage to quickly calm Hua Yuan down.

Once Hua Yuan calmed down, he also sensed something was wrong.

The skin of the fist that had just been gripped by the other party began to show abnormal wrinkles and lumps, as if some unknown mutation was occurring.

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, Hua Yuan severed the palm structure corresponding to the fist.

Sure enough, the hand began to deform as soon as it hit the ground, eventually turning into a pile of rotten flesh, peeling, ulcerating, and turning into a pool of blood.

"So he did find help after all? The Hateful Eight... the perpetrator, Douglas."

Luo Di is currently scrutinizing this monster who could withstand a direct punch from Hua Yuan.

He could smell a scent he loathed most on the other person, a stench called "evil".

Its enormous body was tightly wrapped in a specially made brown coat.

The face was covered by a white mask, with only a small opening cut at the mouth, through which a deformed, tiny tongue moved rapidly.

The blood seeping from his face stained the mask red.

The exposed palms were greasy and huge, with calluses that were far more pronounced than those of a normal person.

Luo Di could sense that this guy was trying his best to disguise himself as a human, but he was still struggling to do so. The fear manifested in the other person's pituitary gland was affecting his human form.

The danger it exudes is very high; the Pituitary Plant are already mature.

Given the presence of the Joker and the intensity of the malice, Luo Di could roughly guess that the other person was also one of the Hateful Eight.

Luo Di stared at the bloodstains seeping from the white hood opposite him, as tensions rose.

The clown actually stepped forward and stood between the two, communicating through sign language instead of speaking.

He first pointed at Luo Di,

He then gestured with the symbol "big" and pointed to his fanny pack. It seemed he was implying that he had also made a fortune betting on Luo Di during the Death Grand Gauntlet" and was simply shopping with a friend today.

Is it really a coincidence?

Luo Di naturally didn't believe it, but since the clown was making an effort to avoid him, he wouldn't go looking for trouble either.

Corner Supermarket is open to everyone, and this conflict is ultimately Luo Di's fault, since Hua Yuan was the one who started it.

Luo Di then looked at the supermarket employee standing to the side.

"We're so sorry, it's our first time here and we didn't know the rules. We won't do it again next time."

The Flesh and Blood Scale that replaced the employees' brains slowly regained balance, and a voice came from within:

"This is a warning. If a similar situation occurs again, you will be blacklisted and removed from the supermarket."

"OK."

"Please follow the arrows in the parking lot to the [Supermarket Entrance]."

The staff dispersed and continued to direct traffic in other areas of the parking lot.

The clown waved goodbye and followed his companions to the west entrance.

Luo Di's emotions didn't fluctuate much.

Having encountered the Joker multiple times during this period, and having already accepted his past, his heart is now at peace. He only needs to wait for the right moment to kill him.

"Hua, class monitor, let's go."

Hua Yuan had also calmed down, but anger was still visible on his face.

"Great~ Excellent! You can handle the clown, Luo Di, and I'll take care of that big thing! Damn it, these rapists must be killed, not a single one can be left alive."

Wu Wen still held Hua Yuan's arm, just like best friends. "Okay, Sister Hua ~ relax and shop. The purpose of this trip is to carefully select items that can effectively deal with them."

"Um..."

Hua Yuan glanced at Wu Wen beside her. For some reason, the annoyance she felt a few days ago seemed to have lessened today.

The Black Coffin Supermarket has two entrances, east and west, with no distinguishing signs, so it seems like it doesn't matter which side you enter from. Since the clown's group went through the west entrance, they chose the east one.

The escalator leads directly to the bottom of the coffin.

Luo Di had already imagined the gloomy scene inside: pure white candles, cemetery shops, and bosses like Yu Lu who had hanged themselves.

But when the elevator carried them into the coffin, what greeted their eyes was the bright light of electric lights and the aroma of toasted bread that could quickly whet their appetite.

"Oh... isn't this just like a real-life convenience store? And even bigger."

What was before him was exactly the kind of human supermarket that Luo Di knew, and it could even reach the scale of a top supermarket in the capital.

A supermarket employee standing at the elevator gave each of them a free meal voucher.

The first floor of the supermarket is the food section. Most of the Corner Monster that have just arrived here have traveled a long way. With a meal voucher, they can enjoy food worth no more than 5 Corner Coin for free.

The variety of food exceeded Luo Di's expectations. He even found a noodle shop serving his Hometown's cuisine, where he ate a large bowl of beef noodles for free and received two extra servings of meat sauce. It was delicious and inexpensive, and the taste even felt more authentic than some shops in his hometown.

Not only that,

During the meal, employees personally delivered supermarket brochures to us.

The map above shows the layout of the Black Coffin Supermarket. You can go to the corresponding floor to buy what you want.

There is a dedicated area for selling potted plants, as well as a high-value area for various Corner Weapon and equipment, a slave area, Corner Pet area, and so on.

In addition, the supermarket itself also offers overnight accommodation.

Customers who wish to shop for an extended period can pre-book a "coffin" and pay Lease Fee of 15 coins per day.

At that time, employees will drag over coffins that are the right size for each person. When the store closes, customers will lie in the coffins until the supermarket reopens the next day.

If customers are unsure which area contains what they want, or want to specify a particular item, they can ask any employee for help.

The employees' minds are connected to the supermarket's central system, and they provide one-on-one guidance services.

"There's such a great spot in the corner?"

After quickly browsing through the supermarket brochure, Luo Di even regretted not placing a bet on himself during the Death Grand Gauntlet; he also wanted to indulge in some shopping at this supermarket.

"How much money do you have? How much can you lend me?"

Hua Yuan replied while munching on a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), "If there's anything left after I finish eating, I'll give it to you."

Wu Wen smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Where should we go first?

Hua Yuan pointed to her head, "I'm going to buy a planter~ The planter in my head is the one that was given to me when I first came to the sorority, according to the lowest standard. Now that I have money, I can get a better one."

Wu Wen, what about you?

"Let me take a look too~ I originally planned to win Mr. Question Mark's reward planter, but unfortunately Luo Di took it. I hope I can buy a replacement."

"Okay, let's go see it together."

Just as the three were discussing the potted plant, an employee suddenly approached Luo Di and looked at the crow on his shoulder.

"Hello customer, your creature seems to be quite rare. Would you like to process it for sale here?"

How many can you sell?

"This requires breed identification in the fourth-floor pet area. Should I take you there now?"

The crow beside them seemed to understand and cawed loudly.

"It's not for sale, I was just asking."

"Oh, I'm so sorry~ If you have any pet breeding needs, you can go to the fourth floor. I'm sorry to disturb your meal."

Luo Di glanced at the crow, then at his empty wallet, seemingly pondering something.
