Deep in the Living-Chapter 456 - 444: Bottom of the Lake

After confirming it was just a chance encounter and not Luo Di actively inviting him over, the two sisters could slightly accept the current situation.

Moreover, Lebeite seemed completely at ease, directly approaching the two sisters upon knowing they would be collaborating.

Without asking for permission, he took the initiative.

Of course, he had no ill intentions; he simply wanted to squeeze their arms to judge their strength... In his eyes, the weak had no right to collaborate with him.

Just as his palm was about to touch Wu Wen’s body,

Snap! His wrist was suddenly grabbed.

It was neither Wu Wen’s resistance,

nor Luo Di stepping in.

Instead, it was Hua Yuan who seized him, conveying the force of invasion through her grip, while her eyes stared intensely at the blond youth.

"Where do you think you’re touching?"

Lebeite immediately shook his head, casting his icy-colored irises to lock eyes with Hua Yuan.

Suddenly pulling his hand away!

For a moment, Hua Yuan couldn’t hold onto him, as if something had pushed her aside when he pulled his hand away.

Lebeite then turned to Luo Di, quietly asking:

"Luo Di, is it true in the human world that you can’t just touch people randomly?

In some books I’ve read, it seems like just saying a couple of words between genders leads to deep physical contact; is it really not like that?

So even such simple body contact isn’t okay? Your companion seems very upset."

Luo Di frowned, "When different people want to touch, you need the other’s permission... By the way, what kinds of books are you reading?"

"Huh? I can’t quite remember the title~ That book didn’t even have a cover; it seemed like some sort of novel brought back from reality by family.

So that’s how it is? Reading books really isn’t enough, I must experience the human world firsthand.

However, the assessment just now is complete; these Sisterhood members are quite impressive! Stronger than most monsters indeed.

That’s good, nobody will drag us down during our actions."

"You son of a b***h! Who the f*** is dragging you down!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yuan flared up; she was already upset with this person, and his words completely provoked her. Immediately Wu Wen grabbed her arm, quietly advising her.

"Huh? Was I born by mother?"

It’s Lebeite’s first time hearing such a curse; nobody in his family speaks like this, and in books, it’s usually replaced by * symbols, leaving him puzzled and unworried, though he sensed Hua Yuan’s anger.

He quickly lowered his head and apologized for his previous presumptuousness, even offering a black bag, asking if the two girls wanted anything to eat.

In Lebeite’s view, Luo Di’s friends are his friends.

And since they would be acting together soon, according to books, they’re now "companions".

Though Hua Yuan was quite agitated, seeing his sincere apology and the bag offered, her anger dissipated, feeling odd,

she couldn’t decide whether Lebeite was disguised, so she whispered to Wu Wen: ’Is this guy pretending, Wu Wen?’

’Probably not pretending, at least I can’t see it.’

’Tsk, how frustrating!’

’Sister Hua, it doesn’t matter! This naturally monstrous guy likely seldom interacts with the outside world; the last game was his first appearance. Without a human foundation, making offensive gestures is normal, so don’t be too prejudiced.’

Having him in our team minimizes risk, which is a good thing.’

Hua Yuan responded: ’Can you really not care?

I haven’t even tried Luo Di’s warmth yet and already found the back loose; you see his eyes, they’re definitely suspicious.’

Wu Wen nudged close, showing a smile, ’Isn’t it perfect? If Luo Di is really like that, it shows we misjudged, and by then, we two take over, wouldn’t that work out?’

’Tsk...’

Hua Yuan fell silent, taking a glance at Wu Wen beside her, strangely finding some sense in her words.

Lebeite wasn’t planning to shop at the Black Coffin Supermarket; he was here simply to confirm the partnership issue, and having done so, could move to his next step.

"Luo Di, how long will you stay at Black Coffin Supermarket?"

"We have to wait in line all day to reach the planting layer; we’ll stay overnight here."

"Perfect timing! I’ll head home shortly, if permitted to handle the clown affair with you, I’ll join you at the supermarket tomorrow morning."

No goodbye yet, Lebeite already disappeared from the floor, moving quickly.

Watching his figure vanish at the elevator entrance, Hua Yuan suddenly approached, standing on tiptoe to stare in Luo Di’s eyes.

"Hey! Everyone’s gone, what are you still looking at?"

"Hua Yuan, did you feel it?"

"Feel what?"

"You made contact with Lebeite’s hand just now; he must’ve used some ability to break free. Did you sense anything inside him?"

Luo Di’s words finally made Hua Yuan realize; she hadn’t considered this matter at all, mostly just held prejudices against this born monster.

"It seems like there was something inside him, pushing my palm away, allowing him to withdraw his hand smoothly... It indeed felt dangerous; the flower pistil within me gathered in the palm."

"Let’s take this opportunity to observe carefully."

"Oh."

Seeing Luo Di’s serious expression, Hua Yuan decided to stop overthinking.

"Alright~ Come over and help me pick out a weapon. I’ve been unable to find a suitable one, and your Wu Wen hasn’t given any good suggestions either."

"Weapon?

Back on the island, didn’t you use a stick? Plus, you seem quite compatible with sticks, why not look for a rod-like weapon?"

"Exactly! There are plenty of sticks here; you men should be good at picking such things, come and help me take a look."

Following Hua Yuan’s pointed direction.

The shop name is a single word—[Knock].

A metal emblem of a shattered skeleton head hangs on the door, with all sorts of rods displayed inside.

There is a huge club made from countless skulls, its body exuding a deadly aura.

There are living sticks formed by plant vines, which seem to continue growing.

There are round-headed clubs with insect nest-like structures, with swarms of insects constantly crawling out.

There’s even a stick resembling a human, limbs cut off, hair shaved off, tailbone as a handle, with a face full of agony.

However,

Luo Di’s gaze was quickly captured by a particular item, his body involuntarily moved forward,

Passing Hua Yuan, then walking past the squad leader,

Entering the shop alone.

This scene made Wu Wen feel quite familiar; it was just like the first time she took Luo Di to the supermarket, when he was fascinated with a machete identical to the one in the movie.

The situation seemed to be the same now.

Luo Di walked straight to a rod-like product,

This rod was unique, not directly displayed, but soaked inside a water tank.

The tank had been specially treated; its internal ecosystem was similar to a lake, with not only lake grass but also fish swimming around.

Upon close observation, you’d find that the fish were already dead, their bodies partially revealing fish bones, and the lake grass had all withered away.

Simultaneously,

A heavy footstep approached, even heavier than Luo Di’s size 45 leather shoes.

When Luo Di turned around, he saw a scene he would never forget.

Standing before him was a murderer exactly like the one in the movie, a body nearly two meters tall and moving like a rusty crane—slow but unstoppable.

Spiderweb-shaped cracks adorned the mask on the face.

A canvas work coat faded to swamp gray, the hem stained with the blood of various victims over the decades.

Rubber military boots of nearly size 50 emitted a heavy sound with each step.

"Jason..."

Luo Di knew very well that the person in front of him was the shop owner, a corner life form like him, but still called out the name from the movie.

The person glared through the mask’s eye holes at Luo Di,

His leather-gloved palm slowly stretched out before him, gently rubbing it.

"Young shop owner! Interested in this baseball bat, huh? You have excellent taste; it’s a 1:1 replica of the movie’s killer metal baseball bat.

The price is a bit higher due to its connection to the franchise, but our materials are genuine, and it can give you a perfect immersive experience, especially for a Black Door creature like you...no wait, you’re human, that’s even better!"

A voice skilled at sales came from beneath the hockey mask, sounding somewhat comical, completely detached from the words "murderer," instantly pulling Luo Di out of his fantasy of meeting his idol.

"How much is this?"

The owner showed the number "4" with his fingers.

"If you pay directly, it includes a murdering experience! And we also give you the water tank, filled with a high concentration of fear solution."

"Can I try it?"

The owner glanced at the two Sisterhood members following Luo Di, then returned his gaze,

"Sure, go ahead and try it."

As Luo Di reached into the water tank, the moment he grasped the metal baseball bat.

Buzz!

His thoughts suddenly detached from his body, and after a burst of tinnitus, he found himself opening his eyes at the lake bottom, gripping the metal baseball bat.
