The Last Gentleman

Chapter 958 Convenience Store

Huh~

 Yi Chen lowered his center of gravity and leaned forward with a bow,

Although his eyes are covered so that he is not disturbed by the external scenery, and his ears are covered so that he is not disturbed by external sounds, there is a trace of restlessness and uneasiness in his heart.

  “That’s it.”

 Following Yi Chen's whisper, the woman retracted her hand.

When he opened his eyes again and looked behind him, the [Disaster] wearing a white leather mask was sentenced to death because he was cut in half. The upper and lower bodies that were separated and fell to the ground were being quickly annihilated.

When Yi Chen ordered the deceased minister who was nearby to fetch the white leather masks scattered on the ground,

 The mask dissipated along with the murderer's body, and the viciousness that permeated the Sunken Death Palace also disappeared, and the crisis was resolved.

But Yi Chen's heart was still hanging in the air, and the uneasiness became more intense.

“Why can the body be cut off so easily, but the mask on the head can only leave a trace?”

“The second script effect was obviously stronger than the first.

 And I broke the script again and even killed the murderer in half. Will this cause the problem to become more serious? Is the malicious entity the murderer or the script? Or the entire crew? "

Recalling the various anomalies before the murderer took action,

　　1. The bright sun at noon was forced to switch to the dark night. If you think about it carefully, it seems that the crew members temporarily erected a background wall to block the sun.

  2. The classic movie music that sounds around the streets seems to be the result of multiple crew members going to residents' homes to switch music sources.

3. During the battle, Yi Chen clearly felt the coercive effect of the script. It was not only restraint, but also forced to perform according to the actions in the script. He was even vaguely beaten and criticized by the director.

"The essence of evil is never a whole! The precipitated evil thoughts are expressed through literary vehicles, and the murderer is only the most prominent and obvious part... Even if the actor of the murderer dies, the director can just find someone and let him wear a mask. I can play the role of a murderer again."

Yichen quickly left the Dead Sea and returned to reality.

It seems that with the death of the murderer, the script was completely messed up, and the crew seemed to have suspended filming. The night background is also removed, and the place returns to normal midday time again.

As soon as Yi Chen appeared, Laini stepped forward and connected his left arm.

“It’s easier than last time. Your broken hand just fell to the side. You only need to walk around inside me to use it again... Wait, Mr. Yi, your ears!”

 “The ears are fine, let’s wait until we can escape back.”

 “Escape?” Leni looked puzzled, “Didn’t Mr. Yi solve the [evil] problem?”

“It’s not easy, I just got some rest time temporarily. Reagan, can you contact Lorian? Is the channel ready?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light shone directly down.

The moment it fell on Yi Chen and Leni, they came directly to the inner temple of the moon without even feeling an obvious rise.

An inverted triangular door shining with silver stars has been opened in the inner hall, and Lorian is maintaining this [portal] that can travel across planes and directly to adjacent worlds.

 Reagan was also waiting here early.

It seems that Yi Chen doesn't need to explain anything. They both know very well that disaster can never be killed so easily, and it can be seen from Yi Chen's bad expression that the current situation is not optimistic.

 “Let’s go!”

Everyone stepped into the inverted triangular door one after another.

This door is not as stable as those world gates built by the gods. It has the feeling of sailing on a turbulent tide.

Hum!

 Lights and shadows flashed, and everyone came to the surface of an unmodified moon, which was cold and dead.

Generally speaking, it should be safe enough to kill a murderer in half and cross the world. Everyone only needs to stay on the surface of the moon and wait for the phone below to ring.

But considering that they had heard the phone call on the moon before, and the emergency channel corresponding to the phone had been destroyed by the murderer when they rushed down, everyone planned to stay directly in front of the public phone this time.

 The moonlight is falling, buzz!

The crowd landed in front of a 24-hour convenience store, with a public telephone right at the door.

After waiting for a while but not seeing any call, Yi Chen couldn't help cursing secretly: "The plane crossing of so many people should be obvious enough. The emergence of disasters should be paid more attention to by the main material plane. As the person in charge, Lao Deng also Should be notified of specific circumstances as soon as possible.

 The channel has not been opened for a long time now. Is it because the value of a few of us is not worth the risk of disaster? "

At this moment, the blond guy in the convenience store walked out with a friendly look on his face.

“It’s very cold outside. If you don’t mind, you can come in and sit for a while. The phone here has been broken for a long time, but the phone inside still works.”

Although Reagan can repair the phone easily, he doesn’t know the underlying logic of the [emergency channel]. Perhaps only the phone that comes with the world and has not been modified by outsiders can be used as a [channel].

When everyone came to the convenience store, the clerk, who had a certain degree of social awkwardness, started chatting with everyone non-stop.

 Reagan used a small part of the processor to respond normally to the other party.

Yichen immediately found the red telephone in the store, but he looked sideways, towards the corner of the convenience store.

 There are various scary masks hanging there, one of which is a white mask that is exactly the same as [Disaster].

  【Consciousness Cut】

 The mask was easily cut in half and annihilated with death.

Looking at the mask gradually dissipating, Yi Chen's inner uneasiness became more intense.

“Lorian, stay by the phone while I look around.”

Yichen walked around the convenience store and made sure that there was only one guy working the night shift. The surrounding situation was completely normal and he didn't see any more white leather masks for sale in the store.

Seeing Yi Chen staring at the horror mask, the clerk also cast his gaze over.

“Halloween is coming soon, are you guys going to buy some masks? Hey~ Why are the masks of [Halloween Killer-Michael Myers] gone? Wait a minute and I’ll go to the warehouse to take a look.

That is the most popular item for Halloween, and it is the best-selling item here. "

 Just as the enthusiastic clerk was about to go to the warehouse,

Snapped! However, Yi Chen grabbed his shoulder, and his killer eyes made the clerk tremble and return to the counter.

 “No need, just stay here.”

The clerk seemed to realize that some of the people in front of him had bad intentions, so he didn't say anything more and just sat at the counter.

　　While waiting for a call, Yi Chen's thoughts remained on the white leather mask. Considering that there was still a stock of related masks in the warehouse, he planned to use this time to clean them out and eliminate all potential dangers.

Just as he walked towards the warehouse door, he stretched out his hand to open it.

Unexpectedly, the outstretched hand grasped nothing.

The so-called door leading to the warehouse does not have a "door handle" at all, it is just painted on.

Not only this door, but also the shelves next to it are exquisite three-dimensional perspective paintings, which are perfectly integrated with the wall, making this wall look like there are shelves and doors, but in fact it is just a realistic background board.

  It’s like a backdrop for a movie.

Yi Chen was suddenly startled and immediately turned to look outside the convenience store door.

There is no sign of any fluctuation in the lawns and trees across the street, and even the mosquitoes lingering on the street lamps are fixed.

  The same is the background board,

 The strong sense of dissonance made him reach out to touch his missing ear, and found that it had grown back at some point. It's definitely not Leni's rebirth, but something else.

Looking at his three teammates again, he looked closely and felt that they had become a little strange. 'Leni' was even pulling the skin with her fingers, as if she was wearing a human skin mask.

Snapped!

At this moment, a newspaper rolled into a stick hit Yi Chen on the head.

　　"Okay! The actors are in place! No more mistakes are allowed this time, the second act - the convenience store horror night has officially begun!"
