Deep in the Living-Chapter 451 - 439: Coffin and Supermarket

By the time Luo Di woke up from the sofa, there was no one by his side.

Due to sleeping while sitting all night, he seemed to have a bit of a stiff neck. Luo Di clasped his hands around his cervical spine and forcefully twisted it. Crack! Instantly back in place.

"Too tired... fell asleep without even finishing the movie."

It was already past four in the afternoon.

Just as he planned to go out to find someone, the door opened.

Hua Yuan and Wu Wen unexpectedly returned together from outside, carrying numerous bags, mostly filled with food. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Seeing Luo Di just waking up from the sofa, Hua Yuan looked annoyed and teased:

"Yo~ Technician, you’re awake? Hurry up and freshen up, we need to get ready to leave."

"Not rushing to the clown’s place, are we?"

"Who said anything about the amusement park? Previously, we accompanied you to level up, to participate in the game, now it’s your turn to accompany us.

Dealing with the clown isn’t that easy, we need to be prepared in advance.

We’re going to buy some essential items, mainly for us, but also for you to broaden your horizons. We also need to enhance a bit, otherwise, it’s hard to burst balloons."

"Why didn’t you buy things in the City of Sin before?"

"The City of Sin isn’t a trade city, most things sold there are entertainment-related, and even the functional items there are mostly sold by middlemen, with higher prices.

The place we are going to is a true trading center."

Hearing this, Luo Di couldn’t help but think of the Hell’s Commerce dedicated to selling goods in True Hell, maybe there’s a similar organization in the Corner.

Hua Yuan continued explaining, "The Corner is still in the exploration and development stage.

The resources here are far more than on Earth’s surface,

and the Corner itself, to encourage our exploration, provides various strange rewards in some mysterious areas and fear events.

The rich variety of resources can match different types of monsters, but it also means many things aren’t suitable.

Therefore, a huge trading market is needed to realize resource allocation, making it convenient for everyone to get resources suitable for themselves and thus delve deeper into exploration.

You’ll know when we get there, but the trip will take quite a while, so if you haven’t slept enough, you can continue sleeping on the bus later."

Luo Di seemed less interested, "But I don’t have much money on me, it seems I can’t buy much?"

In his view, if there’s no money to spend, it’s basically a waste of time; better to stay in the women’s apartment.

Where he can discuss death with Yu Lu and take the opportunity to spar with his grandmother when paying rent every three days.

"Don’t worry, we have money.

We’ll lend you some to spend if necessary. Besides, don’t think about not going, this shopping trip is preparation for the amusement park matter."

"Could it be the money you bet on me with?"

Luo Di remembered clearly that Hua Yuan didn’t have much Corner money in her little pouch before, now she seemed much more affluent.

"Never mind~ as long as it’s my money, hurry up and wash up, don’t waste time!"

At this moment, the squad leader, who had been silent behind Hua Yuan, nodded slightly, indicating for Luo Di to follow along.

Feeling helpless, Luo Di went to wash up. He was genuinely tired and had planned to stay in the apartment for a while to consolidate his strength, only to find that once he woke up, they were leaving again.

...

The same old living bus.

Except this time, Yu Lu and Miss Juan were not inside the carriage.

The journey was estimated to take a day and a half. Considering the boredom during the ride, Wu Wen specially brought the TV from Hua Yuan’s dorm onto the bus.

This TV, which operates relying on the Fear Entity, requires no power supply, only exposure to the Corner environment to work permanently.

Fear is energy, fear is the foundation of all material transmission.

Still tuned to the Murderer station, the two continued watching the movie they didn’t finish last night.

Sitting opposite, Hua Yuan also came over. Although she scoffed at such cliché plots, perhaps due to the atmosphere, she slowly became engrossed in watching.

Moreover, with coke entering her mouth along with various snacks, the sense of ease and comfort made her entire body relax, even slumping down and completely unwinding.

When she lived in the orphanage, Hua Yuan used to watch movies together with teachers and classmates, but after leaving, there were rarely chances to watch movies with everyone together.

While Wu Wen and Luo Di discussed the plot and characters inside, although she pretended not to care, she listened intently and tried to join their discussions.

She seemed to somewhat understand why Wu Wen chose to watch a movie instead of taking a great opportunity that night.

This leisurely time passed quickly, unknowingly they had been traveling for a whole day.

This outing was exceptionally smooth, with no interference from tongues or encounters with any clowns.

As night fell, the original plan was for the three to take turns keeping watch,

but Wu Wen placed her palm on the carriage, transmitting some sort of bodily energy outward,

causing the fleshy structure of the bus to undergo a structural transformation, with skin similar to Wu Wen’s growing on the surface, covered with pores and sensor-sensitive hair structures.

Any monster attempting to tamper with the bus would be detected.

Not to be outdone, Hua Yuan spat out a few seeds exuding fear from her mouth, planting them between the fleshy seams of the carriage.

Roots spread,

and the outside of the carriage quickly sprouted a large number of black-and-white flowers resembling human faces, equipped with sensory structures. Once danger was seen or a scent was detected, they would immediately report it.

Luo Di didn’t unleash any abilities but let the Crow Colt stand by the window, with the Eye of Hell embedded in its forehead, capable of seeing through many things.

Fell asleep peacefully.

Caw~ Caw!

The call of the Crow Colt woke Luo Di up,

With no time to admire the two girls lying beside him, he immediately got up and went to the window.

Outside, there was no city structure, just a wide-open wilderness, with mountains about a hundred meters away.

Something seemed to be hidden inside the mountains...

"Coffin?"

A pitch-black coffin larger than the mountains was placed between the peaks.

Luo Di could also see many different types of vehicles, or monsters walking, all heading towards this coffin.

Even through the car window, he could feel a high concentration of Fear Entities permeating outside,

He seemed to see these Fear Entities concretized into a flesh-and-blood scale, corresponding to the "disaster" of this region.

At this moment, two soft arms gently rested on Luo Di’s shoulders, lips lightly grazing his earlobe.

"Transaction disaster~ Any individual conducting transactions here, whether it’s a verbal agreement or a paper contract.

If unable to pay enough Corner currency, if unable to provide equally quality goods, the trader will directly suffer the disaster’s impact, forever degraded to a ’supermarket employee’. "

"Supermarket?"

"Yes." The fair finger pointed towards the pitch-black coffin between the mountains, "That is the largest supermarket in the Corner, a comprehensive supermarket combining the Human World and matching Fear Entities formed by the Corner consciousness, rather than managed by monsters like the City of Sin.

This is, as currently known, the largest Fear trading center in the Corner.

No need to worry about being deceived here, you can get equal-value goods for the money you spend.

It’s called the [Black Coffin Comprehensive Shopping Center]."

"Supermarket, huh..."

For some reason,

It was clearly a coffin, clearly in the Corner.

Yet Luo Di recalled the scene from when he first met the Squad Leader and went out on the classmates’ invitation; the agreed place at that time was a comprehensive supermarket.

Everyone bought the necessary supplies for Simulation Practice.

It was through the Squad Leader’s introduction that he got to know Gao Yuxuan and Anna, and for the first time bought a chainsaw and knives for killing in the supermarket.

Now it’s so similar,

Going to the supermarket to shop for the amusement park trip.

Just the personnel have changed.

The vehicle drove to the front of the Black Coffin and Luo Di realized it truly was a [supermarket].

The huge black coffin was not placed on the ground, but suspended about twenty meters high, with its bottom corresponding to a [parking lot].

Uniform-clad supermarket employees, brains turned into flesh-and-blood scales, were here guiding the vehicles.

On their chests was the supermarket logo—the "Scales on the Coffin".

The size of the entire parking lot was enormous; even with a large number of monsters arriving, it couldn’t be filled up.

It seemed like the design with such large space was for future considerations.

As the Corner existed longer, more Pseudo-Persons would progress. On the human side, as exploration deepened, more agents would emerge.

No sooner did Luo Di get out of the car than Crow Colt suddenly twisted its head 180°, looking towards a corner of the parking lot.

A balloon was floating behind the truck, visible through the nearby light mirror.

"Really persistent ghost..."

Wu Wen also looked over curiously, "Did the clown follow us?"

"Yes."

"No need to worry, the supermarket managed by the Corner has strict rules, we can shop peacefully without..."

Wu Wen’s words weren’t even finished when something beside her shot out at such speed, the wind it stirred blew her hair apart.

[Invader’s Stance]

Hua Yuan had already sprinted to the corner.

The fist in his hand aimed at the red balloon, which was the clown’s face.

The pores on the fist surface flowed with small flower pistils, not only smashing the skull but further invading the body.

This Killing Intent made Luo Di’s blood boil.

Boom!

A shockwave spread through the garage area,

The supermarket personnel responsible for security surrounded.

As the smoke cleared,

The clown still stood there, unharmed.

A huge figure stood before him, blocking Hua Yuan’s punch with its palm.
