Farewell

Mei Jia drove her Mazda Hell Edition car, keeping a distance of 500 meters at all times.

This distance prevented her from being drawn into the Crystal Lake movie scene.

In her field of vision, she could only see that the area in front of her was shrouded in darkness, and something terrible seemed to be happening inside.

During the waiting period,

She kept practicing her newly acquired torture chamber skills, using the flesh and blood chair as a dummy for slashing practice.

During training,

The sound of raindrops hitting the car window gradually subsided, and it seemed that the heavy rain was about to stop.

"Luo Di!"

Mei Jia instinctively wanted to open the door and get out of the car, but she remembered Luo Di's warning and obediently stayed inside.

However, her eyes were almost pressed against the car window, and her right foot was on the accelerator, ready to start at any moment.

The heavy rain stopped.

The curtain disappeared.

Endless Butcher Shop at the end of the road, a full three or four hundred square meters.

The rotting flesh gripped the murderous tools in different ways, seemingly still capable of killing... but upon closer inspection, it became clear that the swinging of all the tools appeared weak and feeble.

It looks terrifying, but in reality, it is already difficult to maintain its basic shape.

It takes a careful search to find Miss Tian's face amidst the pile of rotten flesh.

She no longer had a basic head shape; her facial features were barely pieced together, and if one wasn't careful, they would separate out along with the rotting flesh.

Moreover, it was noticeable that Miss Tian's eyes were filled with fear.

Luo Di stood in the pile of rotten flesh.

Even though his body was covered in knife wounds and filled with syringes, it had no effect whatsoever.

He looked down at Miss Tian's face and said, "As expected... even random events have difficulty limits when participating in a dungeon for the first time."

No matter how special your abilities are, or how infinitely they can evolve, there will always be a limit.

All I need to do is kill you to the limit, until your Undying Trait becomes ineffective.

Thank you so much... Because of you, I had the opportunity to 'get in touch' and understand my own limits.

Luo Di treated his prey differently than he usually did as a killer.

He acknowledged, to some extent, that Miss Tian, though acting out of pure malice, was qualified as a "murderer."

Therefore, Luo Di said something.

These words led Miss Tian to mistakenly believe that she had a chance to live, and she immediately prepared to say something.

Who knows...

Snap! Trampling!

Luo Di's shoes, flowing with Hell Lava, had already stepped on it. He didn't give his prey the right to speak; he was merely expressing his feelings unilaterally.

As Miss Tian's face was crushed,

He was killed once again.

Death exceeded her limit of immortality.

The rotting flesh collapsed, turning into large amounts of blood that flowed down both sides of the road, and the person died completely.

When the blood recedes,

Luo Di also relinquished his current posture, removed the ring, and reclaimed his divinity.

Even a faint infusion of divinity into the entire body almost drains the potential of every cell.

A profound sense of weakness caused him to stumble and kneel on the ground, his vision blurring. However, within that blurred vision, something seemed to be shimmering.

Luo Di, who was on the verge of collapsing, managed to regain a brief moment of clear vision by concentrating his mind.

Among the scattered blood,

The location where Miss Tian's head was previously located,

A black metal card fell to the ground.

The front of the card depicts a black door, with no other decorations, so that no blood or rainwater can leave any stains on it.

After Luo Di put the card into his body, he could no longer hold on and collapsed...

[Deep Night Downpour]

It was like fingers frantically tapping on Luo Di's face.

As his vision gradually cleared, Luo Di woke up from a pile of garbage, the rain helping to wash away the stench on his body.

"Where am I? What am I doing?"

Luo Di's mind was a complete mess; he couldn't remember how he got there, nor could he quite recall what had happened before.

Strangely, he himself did not feel that there was anything wrong with him.

He walked out of the alley.

Outside is a normal street.

Only one bar across the street had its lights on; the rest of the street was dark, a state that Luo Di instinctively repelled and refused to approach.

He could only walk towards the bar, which was the only place he could go.

The bar had no name.

Only the signboard is illuminated with beer mug-shaped string lights.

The pitch-black door is the only entrance.

Knock knock~

When Luo Di reached out to knock on the door, an arm emerged from the mailbox under the door, seemingly asking for something.

He quickly pulled a black card from his pocket and, without thinking much about it, simply put it on the card, feeling that this was the right thing to do.

Click!

The door opened.

A multi-functional bar comes into view, featuring not only a bar counter, but also a pool table, gambling tables, slot machines, and more.

Luo Di recognized some of the people sitting inside drinking.

However, the understanding here is not based on reality, but rather on the movie.

All sorts of killers from movies in the 80s and 90s are gathered here, and now that the door has been opened, everyone's eyes are on them.

Excitement and a sense of pressure surged simultaneously, causing Luo Di's heart to race!

Buzz!

Luo Di sat up abruptly, waking up in his familiar bedroom. Mei Jia was still sleeping beside him, and the alarm clock on the bedside table was pointing to six in the morning.

At the same time, a notification sound came from the corner.

The requirements for the "Goosebumps" Movie Event have been met. Simply open and close the Anywhere Door three times consecutively to unlock the dungeon exit and return to the Image Store. You cannot stay longer than 24 hours.

"They gave me some time to leave, which is perfect for adjusting. Speaking of which, what happened just now wasn't entirely a dream, was it?"

Is this the reward for my first experience in Corner of the Corner?

It's related to the Black Door Murderer; how exactly is it used?

While washing up, Luo Di examined the black card back and forth, unable to understand its usage. He estimated that he would only find out after leaving this place.

In the county town, at a general supermarket, there's Zhang Ma's dry pot rabbit.

This time, Luo Di and Mei Jia didn't choose to cook at home, but instead had their last big meal outside.

There was no further communication.

There was no physical contact after the meal.

The two of them went one after the other into the supermarket, to a fire escape that no one would pass through. Luo Di only needed to open and close the door three times to leave.

Mei Jia kept her head down, biting her lower lip slightly, not knowing what to say even at this moment.

"Mei Jia, shall we go?"

Luo Di took the initiative to ask an invitational question.

"I..." Upon hearing the question, Mei Jia took a step forward and gently tugged at Luo Di's sleeve, pulling it tightly, but eventually letting go.

No.

I thought a lot last night. Maybe being an ordinary person suits me better. Being a cow or a horse is better than working so hard like you guys. Even if this place ceases to exist because of your departure, I probably won't feel anything.

... I'll be in a lot of trouble, and your girlfriend will also be in a lot of trouble if she sees me.

Thank you, Luo Di. I'll always remember this experience.

Mei Jia tiptoed and gently touched Luo Di's face, then turned and left without stopping, only occasionally stroking her face with the back of her hand.

"Okay, goodbye."

Luo Di simply sighed slightly.

Without lingering for long,

After switching the door on and off three times, he stepped into the completely dark room. A strong sense of spatial expansion came over him, and countless eyes opened in the darkness, checking Luo Di's physical condition to make sure he hadn't brought back any foreign objects from the movie.

After confirming that everything is correct,

Buzz!

It reappeared in the familiar Corner Image Store.

When he arrived at the counter area, he discovered that he was the first returnee to complete the event.

"They haven't come out yet?"

"Yes, Mr. Di, you are the first to complete the initial exploration of the dungeon. Here is your comprehensive evaluation form for this exploration and the corresponding reward section."

You can retrieve the items you deposited at any time.

Since you are participating as a team, please wait until the others have completed their tasks before leaving the store together. During this time, you may choose to sleep or rest in the aisles, storage room, or on the chairs.

The shop assistant took out a sealed metal box that had been prepared beforehand, with labels bearing the names of Goosebumps and Luo Di.

Luo Di quickly grabbed the device from the nearby bench and opened it to examine it.

"Perfectly advances the film's plot, maintaining its smooth flow, with a plot coherence exceeding 80%. The important character, Mei Jia, survives, and the town's population retention rate exceeds 90%."

Overall rating of the "Goosebumps" Movie Event: S+
