"This is... Crystal Lake? How did I end up in a movie? How did you do that?"

Is it the effect of the water tank, or the weapon itself? Was it achieved through forging techniques or some kind of terrifying material?

How long can I stay in a movie like this?

Although Luo Di raised a lot of questions, he himself seemed very excited and did not feel any discomfort at all.

He had watched this movie countless times, and even had similar experiences in his dreams, but he had never had such a real and direct experience.

Luo Di never thought about how to escape the current situation; instead, he seized the opportunity to enjoy it.

Brush away the mud and water plants from its body.

Looking at the mottled and rotten canvas work jacket and the leather boots covering the trouser legs, Luo Di knew very well that he was now playing the classic serial killer - [Jason].

The metal baseball bat I was holding was exactly the same as the one in the store.

Rapid upstream,

Float to the surface,

On a dark and windy night

The lights of camping came from the lakeside, and it was obvious what was going to happen next. A primal urge spread through Luo Di, making him completely immersed in the role.

Step ashore.

The campfire is lit.

The young people inside the tents were already asleep, while some couples were doing what they were supposed to do.

Arriving at one of the tents, he unzipped it, raised a baseball bat high.

Strangely,

The baseball bat didn't swing, and there was no ketchup scene like in the movies; it just quietly watched the sleeping humans inside the tent.

Luo Di's eyes cleared; the serial killer he admired hadn't killed for the sake of killing.

He wanted to become a serial killer who could kill the "Joker."

A serial killer who can live forever and always has a clear goal.

A killer with a powerful physique who can achieve his goals by working alone.

Buzz!

The scene disappeared.

Luo Di returned to the shop, back to the water tank, his hand gripping the baseball bat.

The shop owner stared at him in astonishment, even giving him a thumbs-up:

"Oh! You were actually able to suppress the killing nature of this weapon, that's impressive... In the past, customers who intended to buy this thing all fell into killing mode after touching it, destroying a lot of things."

I only suggested you try it because I saw that you had two friends with Plant Maturity.

You are quite special, human... Your motives for killing are very pure.

This weapon has already acknowledged you to some extent, so what do you say? Want to buy it?

Although Luo Di really liked baseball bats, and this "cinematic experience" might resonate with his own abilities, the boss's overly sales-oriented tone made him feel that the price was too high.

Hua Yuan also interjected at this moment.

"Hey! You said you'd let me choose, so why did you buy it yourself?"

"This baseball bat is perfect for me, Hua, can you help me check if the price is reasonable?"

Hua Yuan rolled her eyes at Luo Di, but still stepped forward to check.

Just as she was about to reach out and touch it, she noticed the inherent characteristics of the baseball bat, and her fingers froze in mid-air. She had already seen through the true nature of the baseball bat.

"Oh... this baseball bat is a bit special, it's exclusive to the Black Gate, it really suits you. If I touch it, I'm afraid it will trigger a literary scene, and if I lose control, Luo Di can help me separate it."

"Good."

Hua Yuan grabbed her, and her consciousness was drawn into it, causing her to gradually become agitated. She switched to the Invader Stance, and a certain structure appeared below.

Luo Di could almost picture how miserable those camping tourists must be.

However, Hua Yuan didn't smash anything; he simply moved back and forth in front of the water tank for a while and then broke free.

"This is a really good thing. The Cinematic Feel inside are very complete! This is a relatively rare 'Horror Props'."

Four thousand is a bit pricey, but it's about right.

Furthermore, the Black Coffin Supermarket has a regulated trading system, ensuring that items there are not priced significantly above cost.

What are the Cinematic Feel?

"It's just like the Cinematic Feel I just had! You know, the fear in the corner is a reflection of the Human World. Whatever humans fear, that's what will be born in the corner."

As horror literature has developed in Human Society, this kind of literary, narrative Fear Form has also emerged in the corners of society.

This weapon incorporates elements of horror literature from the movie "Friday the 13th," and it's estimated that it was made using the pituitary gland of a certain Black Door Murderer as raw material.

Once the transaction is complete, you can view the weapon's specific information.

"But do you have the money? This costs four thousand yuan, and I can't lend it to you now; the person hasn't even bought the planter yet."

"Some."

"Where did you get the money? Didn't you just arrive in the corner? Is it the massage fee your Grandmother gave you?" Hua Yuan was speechless. You see, she worked hard managing the Flower Garden and only received one hundred yuan a month.

Luo Di was too lazy to explain, feeling that Hua Yuan would keep asking.

He has made his decision; it's expensive, but he has the money.

"Boss, I'll buy it."

"Huh?" Hua Yuan was still thinking about her Grandmother when Luo Di was about to pay. This was no small sum. "Wait, I remember you have weapons, Luo Di? If this isn't an urgent need, you can look at other things first... After all, four thousand is still quite expensive."

"The hilt of the knife and this club are not the same type of weapon, and can be used to deal with different scenarios and enemies."

My primary goal is killing, so weapons are the most important thing for me, and I also have potted plants now.

Luo Di showed off the Hell Hilt, explaining that it was primarily for cutting flesh and blood, while the club could be used to deal with other structures.

Moreover, he was so interested in this kind of weapon associated with the movie that the baseball bat was practically the real merchandise he had always dreamed of.

Suddenly, the boss, who was cosplaying as Jason, came over and carefully examined the hilt of the knife in Luo Di's hand.

"This is not something from the corner... Such an exquisite hilt, cursed, capable of devouring the user's flesh and blood to construct a blade with corresponding attributes."

What kind of technology is this? I've never seen anything like it before. Humans shouldn't have this kind of technology, right?

"A product of hell."

"Hell... No wonder you're a Connector!"

"Young man, are you selling this knife handle? I'll buy it for a high price."

"Not for sale." Although Luo Di refused immediately, he saw a business opportunity.

Whether it's a crow or a knife hilt.

These things from True Hell seem to be very popular with the horn, and of course, their high quality is also a reason.

When Luo Di goes back next time, he can try to get more hellish products and make a fortune by reselling them.

After all, he mainly focuses on the corner, and a large amount of Corner Coin can greatly promote his growth and development here.

"Boss, here's what we'll do~ If I manage to get my hands on a similar Hell Weapon later, I'll come back to you."

"Okay! Okay! Please be sure to look for me... Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a 20% discount on this stick, no, a 30% discount! I'll sell it to you for 2800, just consider it a gift to a friend."

We are all murderers; please remember this.

"Um."

Luo Di quickly paid and took the goods, only taking the baseball bats and not the water tank that came with them. One reason was that it was too troublesome to carry, and the other was that the water tank itself was not very useful; the baseball bats were the main thing.

Wu Wen stood not far away watching all of this, a smile on her face, as if she was also very happy.

It was just like when Luo Di first bought a chainsaw in the supermarket.

The only one who was upset was Hua Yuan, who still couldn't find a suitable one and had to move on to the next store. This shopping trip lasted a whole day, and even Luo Di was almost losing patience.

The squad leader also looked somewhat troubled, wanting to persuade Hua Yuan to focus on his physical body and stop thinking about external weapons.

For some reason, Hua Yuan was determined to buy it.

Just as she finished browsing through all the weapon sales areas and was about to lower her standards and go back to choose a weapon that was barely usable, the announcement came over the loudspeaker.

Dear customers, our supermarket will be closing down soon, and all transactions have been suspended.

Please proceed to the nearest exit to leave the supermarket within ten minutes. Customers who have already booked a coffin, please enter the coffin and rest within ten minutes. Staff will come to the coffin shortly to provide you with overnight accommodation.

If they do not leave the supermarket or enter the coffin, they will face terrible consequences.

Those placed in the coffin should remain inside until instructed to exit.

"I***"

Hua Yuan cursed out a bunch of long and complicated sentences, but in the end he obediently opened the coffin, since there was still time tomorrow anyway.

The three men put the coffins together, placed them inside, and sealed the lid.

The supermarket closed ten minutes later.

Although they couldn't see anything inside the sealed, dark coffin, everyone could feel that the entire supermarket seemed to fall silent instantly, and all the outside lights went out.

I could vaguely sense something moving outside.

A dangerous, potentially lethal, unknown entity.

They will die instantly if discovered.
