Deep in the Living-Chapter 470 - 458: Video Tape

The entire cellar is a not-too-big, not-too-small cubic space.

Since Lebeite is already down here, it indicates that the cellar itself is not dangerous.

And Luo Di, relying on the intuition of the victim inside him, quickly pinpointed the source of fear: the wall directly facing the television.

The pale light from the transistors illuminated this wall perfectly,

On the wall, ten arrows were painted with black paint, all pointing to a visibly loose brick.

Just as Luo Di’s body subconsciously approached, intending to touch this wall brick.

Buzz! A reverse pull from a coffin made him stop moving.

"Flower?"

Luo Di turned to look at the coffin behind him, Hua Yuan was yet to awaken, but it seemed not far from waking up.

The cellar stairs followed the Joker and others down.

Uncle Joke approached quickly with comical steps, even kindly blocking Luo Di behind him, "You can’t take it, oh~ without mature plants, direct touch can easily make you controlled by VHS tapes."

Gurgle~

Joke once again reached into his own body. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

He took out three pairs of gloves in red, white, and black from within, wearing them all on his hands, ensuring safety before cautiously removing the brick.

The dust knocked off was filled with dense fear, causing the two people nearby to fall into short periods of suffocation and consciousness blur.

Until consciousness coagulated, and their vision gradually cleared.

A VHS tape lay flat in the gap between the bricks, its surface stuck with a torn white cloth strip, void of any text information.

Even with gloves on, Joke did not directly touch the tape,

instead carefully tying a balloon cord onto it,

and used the suspended balloon to extract the tape,

hanging it in mid-air.

Whether it was the Eight Evil People or Luo Di and his side, upon visually seeing this old tape, their bodies instinctively exuded sweat.

Everyone could sense that the fear contained in this tape was distinctly different.

Joke rubbed his hands and introduced with a smile:

"This is the tape itself, the true source of fear.

You should try to use the smallest contact point on your body to touch this tape, then you will receive hints about it from the Corner and subsequent participation requirements in the exploration event."

Wu Wen was the first to act on this side, pulling out a strand of hair, gently touching the tape’s surface with the tip of her hair.

Even with just an instant’s touch,

a black substance similar to magnetic fluid flowed onto the hair and entered Wu Wen’s body, after a tremor, her eyes instantly shone bright.

Clearly, Wu Wen had obtained relevant information about the tape with minimal impact on herself.

She patted Luo Di’s back, "Go ahead, your body can handle it."

"Alright."

Luo Di extended a piece of Hell Iron Wire from his fingertip, similarly touching briefly and then pulled away.

He watched as a small amount of magnetic fluid entered his body along the wire.

Buzz!

Strong fear tightened all pores on Luo Di’s body simultaneously,

even causing short-term changes in the current cellar environment,

the lunar soil fully absorbed this magnetic fluid, withstanding this ’true fear’, the whispers from the Corner Depths followed:

’Permission to enter the fatal video tape has been acquired’

[Introduction]:

This tape is one of the true fear products scattered in the Corner Depths,

naturally formed in the early stages of the Corner through the literary reflection of the Human World, extremely rare, with very strict requirements for its users.

If one can perfectly interpret all the content of the tape, they can obtain the concentrated true fear within.

This "true fear" could be pure nourishment, a piece of equipment, a potion, a book, or a living creature, determined by the tape’s plot progression and the participant’s performance.

[Original Holder (First Discoverer of the Tape)]: Eight Evil People - Scarface. Matthew, deceased.

[Pituitary Restriction]: Only mature plant participants allowed (Under special circumstances, individuals in the germination stage can participate if they can withstand the true fear conveyed by the tape).

[Personnel Restriction]:

1. "Number": The internal plot corresponds to eight people, the participant numbers must be met, otherwise it won’t play.

2. "Species": Requires at least one non-monster "human" participant.

3. "Ratio": The number of males and females must not differ by more than two.

[Basic Requirement]: Watch the tape and survive.

[Reward]: Survivors will receive true fear rewards based on their individual performance.

[Dangerous Product]:

Please note, what you are about to face is the primal and most genuine Fear emerging from the formation stage of the Corner.

Though based on the fear culture at the surface of the Human World, the Fear itself will surpass your usual understanding, exceeding the danger limits of the middle regions.

Please be sure to select viewers carefully; all eight members need to possess a high level of competence and quick adaptability to the unknown, or else it will be difficult to survive.

The Corner highly discourages forced viewing to avoid unnecessary loss of talent.

...

"Viewing, huh..."

Luo Di had already reviewed all the information; this kind of news directly reported by the whispers of the Corner could not be false, and Wu Wen had confirmed its authenticity as well.

Just then,

Lebeite, who could no longer hold back, stepped forward,

He still ignored the Joker’s suggestion, opting not for a small contact area but directly grabbing the videotape.

This was different from the previous disregard for the eruption.

Crack, crack, crack~

Lebeite’s body twitched as if electrocuted, seemingly about to lose complete control.

But with a ripple inside his body, Lebeite’s eyes widened, neck twisted! Crack... He forcibly returned to normal, exhaling a breath of highly concentrated Fear from his mouth.

"Whew... that was exhilarating, marvelous. This thing is better than killing all of you. When do we start?"

Lebeite made his own decision, tearing off the balloon string, taking the videotape directly in hand, even tossing it up and down, appearing completely unfazed.

This scene made the Joker give a thumbs-up once again.

Luo Di was not surprised; he understood Lebeite’s traits well. When it comes to items from the Corner, no one adapts better than him.

Facing this videotape, such an exceptionally rare [opportunity], it was basically confirmed that there were no traps, and everyone would likely participate.

Luo Di naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity; there’s even a chance to kill the Joker during the process.

Yet Luo Di remained puzzled,

even if the videotape has a coercive requirement, needing at least one human to participate.

But he and the Joker are sworn enemies, destined for a life-and-death struggle in the future.

Given such a premise, why would the Joker invite him to touch this hard-earned opportunity from the Corner?

Before embracing the opportunity offered by the videotape, he must understand the reason behind it.

"Why..." Luo Di simply uttered three words.

Upon hearing this question, Joke’s facial muscles stretched to the extreme, mouth corners reaching the earlobes, and the voice blocked by the balloon reemerged:

"I’ve killed many, many people,

Whether it’s me or the Pseudo-Person, in the beheading slaughter in the Human World,

or within the Corner, conducting long-term plundering activities in the Shallow Area to replenish ’personnel’ for the amusement park, have perpetually committed crimes.

The people killed, at least not less than five hundred... six hundred~ anyway, a lot, a lot.

And you are the only one who has witnessed my crimson carnage, felt my Fear, inherently weak beyond compare, yet without experiencing direct Fear, you still want to kill me.

Moreover,

you can venture into the Corner in a short period with a human identity and accomplish so many unbelievable feats.

This is the human I need to select!

Of course, that little Taoist would also meet the standards considerably, unfortunate he couldn’t come with you, otherwise, the chance of successfully viewing the videotape should be higher.

Don’t mind any issues of Hate or not,

just as I said before, once you finish watching the videotape, you can kill me however you want."

"When will it start?" Luo Di asked.

"We have to wait until all eight are registered... You still have someone unregistered, don’t you?"

Joke’s gaze shifted towards the coffin,

simultaneously,

the coffin lid shook as if the corpse inside had heard the outside dialogue.

Then, a slender flower pistil grew out from the seam of the edge,

the stigma at the top corresponded with a headless female head, slowly approaching the videotape, lightly touching it with a seed-worthy tongue against its surface.

Hee-hee!

An eerie laughter emitted from between the skull, then the entire pistil retracted into the coffin.

This laughter brought expressions of surprise to the "Eight Evil People," including the Joker, and Lebeite.

Joke exhibited a look of immense delight, "It seems this lady had an extraordinary encounter at the Black Coffin Supermarket, splendid~ The stronger everyone is, the higher our chances of survival.

Get ready to begin.

Since Mr. Lebeite already holds the videotape, please insert it into the device directly, and everyone find a spot, standing, sitting, or lying down to watch, it doesn’t matter, just keep your eyes on the screen."
