Treasure

Luo Di stared at the Dungeon Gate embedded in the center of the ground.

Different Lock body have different structures, which can be used to lock the lock securely.

Each Lock body is made of different materials and has its own sealing structure. For example, some are finger Lock body, skull Lock body, or even locks engraved with question marks. They are most likely the ones that were bought from the City of Sin last time.

The Dungeon Gate itself also uses Corner technology. Although it looks like just a heavy, black Dungeon Gate, its surface coating, structural form, and inlay method are all very special.

Even though it has been sealed off so thoroughly,

An aura of fear still seeped out from below.

Even if it's just a tiny amount of penetration,

This level of purity and concentration was something Luo Di had never experienced before.

Since arriving in the corner, he has seen many powerful monsters, been to many places, and experienced the fear and disasters of the Mid-level Zone.

But this was the first time I had ever felt such intense fear.

Just a normal breath gave him Goosebumps.

Luo Di then looked around at the so-called circus tent. On the black cloth of a special material, various strange sealing symbols were drawn. The tent itself was also a sealed space.

He also realized the true purpose of building this amusement park.

Whether it's this special Dungeon Gate,

The circus tent is still made of sealed leather.

Or perhaps the outer wall, combined with balloons, forms some kind of barrier.

And the vast amount of malice that emanated from the entire amusement park.

They are all used to cover up, hide, and seal off what lies underneath.

Even Li Beite, Innate Monster, sensed danger; he had a vague feeling about it when he first approached the amusement park.

"Wu Wen, is this... a dungeon?"

Luo Di had heard this term many times before. The planter he got from Mr. Question Mark also came from the dungeon, a special area deeper than the middle level.

"You're overthinking it. Dungeons aren't like that."

This should be some kind of 'perk' for original content creators like "The Hateful Eight".

Didn't you already see the information Li Beite gave you before? As the original organization of Corner, they receive "guidance" from Corner regularly.

This instruction might be to instruct them to complete a certain task, or to explore an unknown area, etc.

Once completed, you will receive a reward, and your own plant will also grow.

certainly,

This kind of "guidance" can be simple at times, difficult at others, and even fatal.

Well, a corner is an unpredictable thing; no one can guess how it will be arranged.

This cellar in front of us is most likely a guide to the corner.

Let the Hateful Eight, or the Joker, explore alone, deal with them, or require them to fulfill a specific requirement below.

They were unable to complete it due to its high difficulty or some other reason.

However, the rewards associated with this guide are quite substantial, and it even involves some obscure secrets.

Unwilling to reveal the location, the Joker spent a fortune building an amusement park. This served two purposes: concealing the place's existence and preventing the intense fear from leaking out through internal means. He also used the amusement park to gather malice.

To put it simply,

It's like someone receiving divine guidance and finding an oil field, but they can't mine it right now. To avoid being discovered by others, they buy the land in advance and build an amusement park to cover their tracks.

I reckon the clown has invited the other the Hateful Eight to try multiple times, all of which have ended in failure.

That's why they used you, ' Luo Di,' as bait to lure us all here... Of course, this is just my personal speculation.

We'll have to go down and find out the specifics.

With the protection of your planter's pot, even the strongest fear will have little effect on you and may even nourish your plants.

As for Li Beite and me, there's even less to worry about. And Hua Yuan, take him along too."

Li Beite had already arrived at the dungeon entrance, crouching down and fiddling with the different types of locks.

"There's even a lock just like the one in my house... They really went all out. What's hidden down there? Now that we've let us in, it shouldn't be a problem to just break these Lock body, right?"

Wu Wen did not stop this.

Even she couldn't open these locks by mimicking flesh and blood; the only way to get down there was through destruction.

Just as Li Beite was about to poke out his finger,

Click!

Spotlights shone down from the top of the circus tent.

The side door, used for performers' entrances, opens.

A foul odor wafted out, which smelled extremely awful to Luo Di, but to Li Beite, it was delicious.

It was... the smell of the delicious food he wanted.

So much so that his skin was trembling slightly.

"Luo Di, and your friends~ welcome to the heart of the circus."

A comical, shuddering sound first came from inside the passage, like stuffing a moldy balloon down one's throat.

The Joker, who had remained silent throughout, even during the True Death Game, now took the initiative to speak.

Four figures emerged from the passageway.

Their aura, physique, appearance, and fear patterns are all completely different.

But they all shared a common characteristic: they exuded a strong aura of malice that Luo Di found utterly repulsive. Before becoming monsters, they were desperately wanted, utterly inhuman Pseudo-Human.

The clown in overalls walked at the very front.

He even carefully applied red lipstick for tonight's performance, after all, he's the host here.

The second one is "The Violent One, Douglas," whom I met at the supermarket before and had a brief encounter with Hua Yuan.

His nearly three-meter-tall body was tightly wrapped in a brown overcoat.

A blood-soaked white mask revealed only the mouth, inside which a deformed, tiny tongue moved rapidly. This was the most disgusting and detestable thing to Hua Yuan.

The third person was also an adult male, around forty or fifty years old.

He looks much more ordinary, with a neatly trimmed short beard (goatee), and his short black hair combed back into a sleek slicked-back style, with a few loose strands adding a touch of casualness.

However, the man's body, wrapped in a trench coat, seemed slightly bulky, as if something was hidden inside his flesh.

Moreover, Luo Di could smell the scent of flesh on this person, sense intense malice, and a familiar feeling as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.

The fourth person was the only woman, a white Girl showing off her bright white teeth and trying her best to smile.

She has a round, oval face, a wide and full forehead, wide-open eyes (light blue pupils), a small nose, and full lips, giving her an air of Girl innocence and naivety at first glance.

Her light blonde hair is usually tied into two thick braids that hang down in front of her chest.

A high-necked cotton shirt was tucked into a denim skirt, and she was barefoot, but there were bloodstains on the soles of her feet, as if she had just finished some kind of malicious venting.

The clown standing at the front didn't begin his introduction; instead, he stared intently at Luo Di and continued speaking in his comical voice:

"Your performance today proves that you are qualified to come here and face the real fear with us... Actually, I originally wanted to bring you and that Daoist priest here, but I never expected that you would be able to attract so many powerful monsters."

Both this Innate Monster, Li Beite, and this genius Girl from an unknown organization can increase our success rate and survival rate in passing through the [videotape].

To be honest with you,

Two of our comrades have already died down there, and two more guys are unwilling to get involved, which is why we're short-handed and I'm forced to find ways to fill the gaps by 'people' outside.

Thank you so much Luo Di, for filling my roster with exactly eight people. This way, I don't have to go through all sorts of activities to find talent anymore.

I assure you,

As long as this matter can be handled smoothly

Afterwards, you can kill me however you want.

But whatever you do, don't do it here.

After all, what lies before you is a unique treasure hidden in a corner, a treasure that could drive those monsters outside mad.

It's the True Fear that any monster desires.
