Shen Hai walked along the road in Sick Village. Apart from the mist shrouding its outskirts, all the mist within the village had already lost its effect on him.
His expression was no longer as relaxed as before. Instead, he looked exceptionally serious-an extremely rare sight.
He threw away the handkerchief almost immediately. It was the one he had used to cover Xu Tingfang's mouth.
Xu Tingfang had no idea he was dying.
That woman had told him the entire contents of Sick Village Records. There wasn't much to it. If she hadn't remembered it wrong, then she must have gone mad.
Because Sick Village Records never mentioned the [Library] at all.
Yet Xu Tingfang had told him without thinking that there were six locations.
She had counted the [Library] where she was. Some entity had already influenced her consciousness, but she remained unaware...

Through his conversation with the "Sales Assistant," Shen Hai had successfully cleared the Supermarket area by standing at its entrance without going inside to "trigger the plot."

The bloated, rotting corpse standing at the register was still vaguely recognizable as a young woman.
In the manager's office was the middle-aged manager, with only half his head remaining.
The Sales Assistant had a gaping hole in her abdomen, her rotten organs spilling across the floor.
The security guard lay faceup in a corner with a flashlight shoved into his mouth, blood pooling across the floor.
Everyone in this Supermarket was already dead.
Their deaths had been horrific, but they all shared one feature-every corpse's neck was covered in densely packed, sticky granules resembling "Frog Eggs."
