Deep in the Living-Chapter 469 - 457: The Banquet

Luo Di’s attention wasn’t on Joker’s words.

Matters involving the essence of the Corner, he, as an outsider and a newcomer, didn’t understand deeply and couldn’t judge the authenticity. It was best to leave it to the Squad Leader and Lebeite to determine.

His attention was mainly on the four Evil People in front of him.

After the fourth incident, Luo Di could smell scents from different people, the more malevolent the presence, the fouler the smell emitted from their bodies.

Most Pseudo-Persons or monsters would use a disguise to cover this foul smell, but the four in front, even if somewhat concealed, still had the smell seeping through their pores and clothing gaps.

Especially the last girl, who didn’t cover up at all, forcing Luo Di to rub his nose.

Additionally, each person emitted a different foul smell.

Luo Di had gotten used to Joker’s smell, a musty rubber odor.

The abuser, Douglas, had the smell of osmanthus flowers.

The middle-aged man with a short beard had a fishy smell of raw meat.

The last girl emitted an indescribable odor,

like trying to mask a corpse crawling with flies and maggots with various perfumes, floral waters, air fresheners... or rather a heap of corpses, the bodies of victims.

"Same type, huh..."

Feeling Luo Di’s gaze, the girl immediately gave a youthful and vibrant smile, showing her big white teeth.

One hand pressed against her chest,

the other half-raised by her face to greet,

if not for the stench emanating from her and the bloodstains at her feet,

she truly seemed like a beautiful and generous girl from a European village.

...

Wu Wen didn’t care about the eye contact between Luo Di and the girl at all,

her eyes were firmly on Joker the whole time,

analyzing micro expressions on his face, and the frequency of his voice to determine where in his statements lies were mixed in.

"From what you say, the entire amusement park was used to seal off what’s hidden beneath the cellar, a VHS tape? Corresponding to some sort of Corner exploration.

Moreover, it requires eight people to participate at once.

If the tape has already caused the deaths of two Evil People? That means you Eight Evil People have experienced it once, and you all are survivors?

Am I not mistaken, Joker?"

Joker stretched out an extremely exaggerated smile, showing the number ’1’ with his right hand:

"Could you not call me Joker? It’s so cliché, readers are tired of hearing it. Doesn’t the amusement park bear my name? Call me Uncle Joke, or just Joke is fine.

There is a slight problem with what you said~ we four haven’t experienced the VHS tape.

The two dead fools wanted to hoard the treasure alone and didn’t inform us, instead, they just randomly pulled six persons from outside for the exploration.

One of them had some unpleasantness with me, so I had marked him.

When he died, I knew instantly, followed the sensation, and found this wasteland along with the things hidden underground.

I promptly started building this amusement park to mask the intense fear constantly pouring out, preventing other people from discovering it when passing by."

Wu Wen squinted her eyes, continued asking, "How do you know it requires eight people? Is there related information prompts when touching the tape below?"

"That’s right~ You’ll know once you go down later, there will be detailed event prompts."

"Alright, then we’ll continue the discussion and determine whether we should participate at that time."

Wu Wen put on a professional smile, her gaze already directed at the cellar door with eighteen locks.

Joke naturally understood this meaning, took the initiative to step forward and gestured with his raised hand:

"Everyone, please step back a bit. Due to long-term sealing, the intense fear below has been accumulating heavily, there should be an eruption of fear when the door is opened."

Luo Di and Wu Wen retreated simultaneously, protecting the coffin behind them.

When everyone chose to retreat, Lebeite didn’t step back, instead stepped forward to the cellar door, squatted down.

He seemed to want to watch how the Joker opened the locks carefully.

Joke looked at this natural monster with a smile before turning to reach inside himself, rummaged for a long time, a tin can was dug out.

He poured out eighteen keys of different structures onto the ground.

"If you won’t step back, why not help me open it?"

Joke actively handed a spine-structured key over, Lebeite reached out and caught it, their fingers lightly touched.

The seemingly simple touch,

made Joke abruptly retract his hand as though being shocked, maintaining an exaggerated smile and giving a thumbs-up.

The two jointly unlocked all eighteen locks quickly.

The door embedded in the ground began to shake, as if it could be pushed open at any moment.

Joke spit out a red balloon with a string from his mouth, tied the other end of the string to the cellar door, "Mr. Lebeite, we better step back a bit~ what do you think?"

"No need."

"Then I wish you good luck."

Joke retreated with a funny step to the furthest, hiding behind Douglas. freewebnøvel_com

With a light press on his abdomen, the balloon tied to the cellar door began inflating automatically, buoyancy increased, slowly opening the door.

Soon... Crack!

The entire cellar door was directly lifted open.

Intense fear spewed out, instantly filling the air inside the circus tent, an ordinary person would die instantly in such an environment.

Luo Di maintained his posture, initially finding it impossible to even breathe, but his body soon began adapting.

The soil corresponding to the Plant Pot dungeon,

along with the plant’s surface, began growing numerous human faces,

these faces started breathing frantically, inhaling this rare intense fear.

Correspondingly, the real-world Luo Di started breathing normally, able to operate normally under such fear concentration.

He glanced sideways at Wu Wen,

she was closing her eyes, arms slightly open, skin from head to toe gently rippled like water patterns, pores slowly absorbing the fear.

Likewise,

the coffin behind Luo Di was slightly open at some unknown time, part of the fear streamed in through the gap.

Not only on their side,

Joker and the others were similarly enjoying, slowly savoring.

It seemed like this was a banquet, and Joker, as the host, opened a cherished vintage.

Soon, the high concentration of fear puffed out was completely absorbed, the circus tent returned to normal.

"Lebeite?"

Without retreating,

Lebeit, who was baptized by the eruption, had disappeared.

Though they hadn’t known each other long,

Luo Di didn’t feel malice from this person, only sensing a primordial monster curious about all things.

"Squad Leader, could you help watch over Hua Yuan, I’ll go take a look..."

He quickly moved forward to the cellar entrance,

stairs of pitch-black stretching downwards,

Luo Di could feel some source of fear was below, his plant pituitary was growing numerous human faces, urging him to go down quickly, such opportunities were exceedingly rare.

Just as Luo Di was about to follow instinct and step on the stairs,

a girl’s face came close, she even actively extended her hand,

"Let’s go down together! It’s dangerous."

The girl was not the Squad Leader,

but the blond girl, her eager eyes hoped for Luo Di’s response.

Just then... Slap!

Luo Di’s hand was suddenly held tightly, fingers interlaced. Wu Wen arrived, looking down on the person with a scornful gaze.

"Sorry, but my Luo Di will go down with me... and Luo Di, you’re carrying the coffin yourself."

"Oh."

Luo Di immediately grew the Hell Iron Chain, hanging the coffin on his back.

The Squad Leader in the front, he in the back, just like going down the stairs once, together they walked toward the depths of fear.

The blond girl stood at the passage entrance, her head turning 180° to look at her partners, at Joker, revealing her exquisite big white teeth, muscles stiff.

"Joke... this woman, can we not kill her now?"

"No, unless you find a better participant than her."

"Ah~ okay then."

...

Beneath the stairs, deep in the cellar.

There was no complicated environment, no various fearful monsters.

A snowy screen,

A VHS player on top of the television,

the vanished Lebeite standing in front of the TV, turning his head to look at those walking down,

"We’ve been waiting for you."
