Something went wrong at the convenience store?!
But no ghosts or monsters entered or left the convenience store just now, and no small ghost would dare to do that. If it wasn't a ghost, could it be...?
Su Luo glanced at Ye Rong and Xu Qing, gesturing for them to get in the car. Then, she pulled out a dagger from her inner thigh, slipped closer to the convenience store, and breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the scene inside. She took a slight step back from entering, like a spectator waiting to see what would happen inside the store.
In a convenience store.
"Who are you? Let me go! Let me go now!"
A woman in her early twenties, dressed casually, was screaming and struggling with her legs. Through the shelf, one could vaguely make out that it was... a person.
Seeing this, the others also gathered around, keeping a step's distance and looking at the girl.
"Quick, help me!"
The others exchanged glances, and one of the boys, who looked rather burly, mustered his courage and stepped forward, grabbing the girl's hand and trying to pull her out.
"He's not a ghost, he's a person, a person!" the girl, who was being pulled and torn apart, cried. She was closest to the object on the ground and saw it clearly.
In the midst of the panic, they didn't expect there to be someone, especially one who was almost unrecognizable and covered in wounds, which caused them to scream, startling the other teammates.
"people?"
Hearing the girl's cry, the others loosened their grip slightly, exchanged glances, and then looked down at the person clinging to the girl's right leg...
It seems like he really is a person.
After confirming that it was a person, the group calmed down a bit. The burly man who had initially offered help stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully examined the person.
"Hey, hey, can you still talk? What's your name? What are you doing here!"
"And what are you doing, grabbing a girl's leg? That's indecent assault!"
Upon hearing the burly man's words, the man lying on the ground seemed to respond, shakily raising his head and trying to look in the direction of the voice.
It wasn't until the man raised his head that everyone could see how horribly disfigured his face was. One or two of the more timid ones were so frightened that they took a half-step back.
The original human face was completely unrecognizable. The eyes had been gouged out, and only a hole for breathing remained on the nose. The ears looked as if they had been cut diagonally with scissors, leaving only half of them, while the other half was nowhere to be found.
But the most terrifying thing is that mouth.
I don't know if it was a knife or some other tool used, but it was torn open directly from the corner of the mouth, extending to the base of the ear. You could clearly and perfectly see the broken bones inside the mouth, cut into pieces and fixed with steel nails. If you ignored the environment, you could jokingly say that it was some kind of plastic surgery or special effects makeup.
At that moment, everyone in the convenience store fell silent, faced with that face that had been abused and was unrecognizable.
"Hehe, hehe."
The other person seemed to want to say something, but was afraid that the person they had finally met would run away. In their anxiety, blood mixed with sweat flowed down, soaking the ground.
"Why don't you write it down?"
Seeing this, the burly man felt a pang of pity and tentatively asked, "What's wrong?" Looking down, he discovered that almost the man's fingers had been severed at the tip, leaving only the latter half, which twisted and moved like newly sprouted flesh.
However, this suggestion seemed to remind the other party, who lowered one hand and began to scribble haphazardly on the ground. Several people walked over and bent down to decipher the writing.
"Go...go where?"
"Basement? You mean this gas station has a basement?"
Hearing the group's wild guesses, the man shook his head and waved his hands excitedly, then hurriedly wrote on the ground until a clear female voice came from behind them.
"You mean, there are many people in the city's subway who need us to rescue them?"
For a moment, the convenience stores fell silent.
Several residents of the western city turned to look at Su Luo, wondering when she had arrived. The man lying on the ground nodded excitedly upon hearing Su Luo's words.
Upon closer inspection of the person's appearance on the ground, Su Luo couldn't help but gasp. These marks were clearly caused by the torment inflicted by a strange creature, likely resulting from a failed attempt in a bizarre dungeon.
Su Luo just couldn't figure out how this person left the instance if they had failed.
But to leave like this, living would be suffering.
but……
"You have a good plan. You only say that there are people on the subway, but why don't you say that the subway in this city is a bizarre dungeon?"
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the residents of Xicheng who had initially sympathized with the man's plight widened their eyes and looked at the man on the ground in disbelief.
Seeing that his intentions had been exposed, the man lowered his head in shame, then suddenly seemed to understand something, looked up and reached out to grab Su Luo.
This person was able to see through his concealment. His tone was full of energy and he didn't seem dejected at all. He must be very capable!
With her, they can save...
"Help, help..."
As the man approached Su Luo, he wrote the same word on the ground while making a hoarse sound, which also sounded like the same word.
save?
Su Luo sneered, "Why should I?"
You think I'll save you just because you tell me to? I'm not a Notre Dame graduate, so why should I?
Why? Why?!
The man seemed disappointed by Su Luo's words, but helpless. With trembling hands, he reached into his clothes and took out a small amount of blood-stained ghost money.
No more, no less, exactly 100,000.
The 100,000 ghost coins were probably the strange dungeon reward this person received when he escaped. For Su Luo, it wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either. However, for outsiders, 100,000 ghost coins was an astronomical figure. If used sparingly, it would be enough to last a long time in this strange post-apocalyptic haven.
When the people from Xicheng saw the 100,000 ghost money, they couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes fixed on the money. If Su Luo hadn't been there, they probably would have shamelessly tried to snatch it.
Receiving no response, the man looked up in despair.
Even 100,000 ghost money couldn't sway that person? Then what is there? What is there?
Heaven is truly going to destroy me... son!
"Hehe, hehe...er..."
The man struggled excitedly to get up, making unintelligible sounds. Before he could finish his last sentence, he suddenly convulsed and collapsed, his upper body lifeless.
Seeing the man lying motionless on the ground, Su Luo squatted down and put the 100,000 ghost money back into the man's chest pocket.
Su Luo believed that one should not accept undeserved rewards, and he disliked interfering too much in other people's affairs or taking this kind of money.
Judging from the man's last words, he probably wanted them to save his son.
Anyway, Su Luo was going to the subway dungeon. If his son was alright, she could save him on the way and come back to retrieve him. If she couldn't save him, she could let his son go down and keep him company. It would be good to have someone to accompany him on the way. She thought the man would be very grateful to her!
Alas, there aren't many good people like me left in this world.
