Deep in the Living

Chapter 604 Delicious Pumpkin

Luo Di, Wu Wen, and Hua Yuan were grouped together when they were brought into the town because they lived close by.

They appeared directly in a cozy detached house, filled with various pumpkin chandeliers and furniture in an American country style.

According to the identity they found in their breast pockets
Luo Di is the younger brother, and he has two older sisters.

A Halloween poster was pasted in the most conspicuous place inside the house.

Award Notification

"Pumpkin Town is holding its annual Halloween event. Congratulations on being selected as the 'Harvest House'! No need to prepare any pumpkin dishes. Please head to the town square, find your seats, and enjoy the pumpkin delicacies prepared by other families."

**Please note: Please be mindful of your Halloween costumes.**
Roddy drew back the curtains and looked out at the town streets bustling with activity, where residents were dressed in their finest clothes and carrying handfuls of pumpkin food to share.

"This is... a domain?"
How come we've all been included, and it feels quite different? This area seems very well-developed, even more realistic than my Crystal Lake, and it's interactive too.

Wu Wen responded: "Among the students in our school, only Duomo can make the field so realistic... and this is not a dream, but a special space."

Perhaps it has a direct connection to his pumpkin brain.

The permanent tenants of the Scream Hotel are indeed extraordinary; they are not ordinary physical monsters.

Since we're just spectators, let's try not to interfere and just follow the instructions to the designated locations.

"Row."

Roddy quite liked Halloween, so he immediately put on a mask, grabbed Jason's baseball bat, and slipped on his work boots, instantly exuding an imposing aura.

Hua Yuan's method was simple: she split her cheeks to create a second face, thus completing her makeover.

As for Wu Wen, she was too lazy to make any changes. Her assessment was over, and she didn't want to move at all... She untied her ponytail and let all her hair cover her face.

Aside from the two long, fair, and fleshy legs being a bit out of place, the overall effect is quite frightening.

open the door,
A fragrant aroma wafted over, and Roddy could now understand why the other party was called "Delicious Pumpkin".

Roddy usually just likes to eat pumpkin, but the festive atmosphere made him eager to taste it.

The three quickly arrived at the square area following the street signs.

A huge brass pumpkin sculpture is placed in the center, and single tables are arranged around the sculpture, with each teacher and student who has been brought in having a seat.

They can enjoy pumpkin delicacies while also inspecting the progress of the assessment.

Roddy was right next to Gustav.

The other party had already taken their positions, and residents had already brought over prepared pumpkin dishes, which Gustave was now enjoying.

"Senior, you're a vegetarian?"

Gustav, who was drinking pumpkin milk soup, frowned. "What are you talking about? I like collecting and tasting tongues, but that doesn't mean I only eat tongues."

Lao Tzu's palate was world-class; he could taste the details of all kinds of delicious food.

Food is an important part of my life. Don't doubt it, I'm definitely more professional than any food connoisseur in the world.

However, I must apologize for my impulsive decision. The pumpkins here are the best I've ever eaten, and the fact that they can make so many different kinds of pumpkin dishes is amazing.

This person must stay, I said!

"Isn't this perfect opportunity because the school cafeteria is empty? This is the ideal pastry chef!"

"Okay, okay, okay~"

Roddy had already witnessed Gustav's charade many times and would not comment further.

During their conversation, food arrived at Roddy's table; a resident brought him a plate of freshly fried pumpkin balls.

Roddy was also curious about how delicious this thing was that it could make Gustave's expression change so quickly, so he tried putting the pumpkin ball in his mouth.

Just a gentle bite!
click!
The moment the crispy outer shell cracked, Roddy's thoughts seemed to leap along with it. He felt as if he had arrived at a pumpkin patch bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and he himself had returned to his childhood, running freely in the fields.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

Not just Roddy,
Even Wu Wen and Hua Yuan seemed to have become addicted to the food, reminiscing about some good old days. These foods had no side effects and were truly delicious.

but,

Roddy quickly pulled himself away from the delicious food; he wanted to see how the assessment was going. After all, he hadn't seen or heard anything related to the "assessment" throughout his journey to the square.

He was also curious to see how this "delicious pumpkin" would deal with that pure monster.

Not long after Roddy had this idea,
Residents brought out their carved pumpkin headgear one by one. The headgear had been dried and fit each person's head perfectly.

However, there was a small note stuck to the back of the hood.

"Wearing it might affect your appetite."

Roddy didn't care; he could accept any kind of scene, so he decisively put on the pumpkin headgear.

The view immediately changed.

The image displayed was of pumpkins "battling" with Song Huiwen. Upon seeing this, Luo Di temporarily stopped eating. There really was a field outside Pumpkin Town specifically for growing pumpkins.

The reason why such delicious pumpkins can be grown here is because the residents regard this place as a "sacred place".

Outsiders who violate the town's rules and try to go against the pumpkins will be forcibly sent here to be punished for "breaking the rules".

Serious offenders, such as those who massacre residents or destroy pumpkins, will accumulate a large number of violation tags and will be subject to stronger penalties.

Song Huiwen is considered a "serious violator," and the constraints of the current world are already affecting her entire being.

A wooden stick, with its tip pierced through the top, stuck her into the pumpkin patch.

Her pores were stretched open, and strands of dry straw grew out of them.

Most importantly, Song Huiwen's unsettling monster head has been covered with a giant pumpkin.

Residents who come here to pick pumpkins will take pitchforks and poke Song Huiwen's body repeatedly, and more and more people are gathering around.

Her body will be torn and pierced during this process.
Compared to the bleeding, what seeped out of the wound were more straws.

Luo Di could tell that Song Huiwen had been completely restrained, her mind completely imprisoned within the pumpkin head.

Not only are they unable to resist, but the physical pain also amplifies the effects on the brain.

In this process, a unique fear of pumpkins gradually accumulates.

Is it related to "violations"?

It's somewhat similar to the game "Mr. Question Mark," where you'll be punished if you break the rules... except that breaking the rules here is somewhat mandatory.

After all, finding the pumpkin monster behind it all requires a certain amount of violence, including inspecting and destroying various pumpkins.

Not to mention, beings like Song Huiwen, who lean towards a monstrous nature, are completely countered by pumpkins.

Violations will be punished by the domain.

The level of perfection in this field is something that no other field of the same level can match or overcome.

No wonder that in the previous melee, all the monsters that disappeared along with Pumpkin Head were left in a state of mental exhaustion and decisively gave up.

Wait... what's this?

Roddy carefully observed the pumpkin patch, and suddenly he noticed a horrifying detail.

These residents are poking Song Huiwen with pitchforks.

Although they differ in age and height, a small part of them is exactly the same as "Pumpkin Fran".

Such as fingers, pupils, clothing, or straw sandals, etc.

Some even felt that as long as they wore pumpkins on their heads, they could become Fran's true form.

Roddy came to a terrible conclusion:

"The residents here are all Fran, the pumpkins on the ground are also Fran, Roddy and the others are eating Fran, and the sculpture in the center of the square is also Fran."

The entire town is Fran.

The reason this feels so real is because everything that happens exists within the head of Fran's perfect pumpkin, within its flesh.

We were all experiencing deliciousness inside his brain.

current,

After the residents' pitchforks stopped bleeding no matter where they were poked.

They climbed onto Song Huiwen's nearly five-meter-tall body one after another, tearing off all her skin, revealing a completely giant scarecrow.

follow closely,

Then a craftsman climbed to the top and carved the pumpkin on Song Huiwen's head, carving out the corresponding eyes, mouth, and nose.

Once these holes are formed, it means the scarecrow is completely finished and can now protect the field and ensure the safe growth of the pumpkins.

Just as all of this was completed smoothly,

The scarecrow actually twitched.
The craftsman quickly grabbed the pumpkin head to prevent it from falling, and this hold allowed him to get a close look at the inside of the pumpkin.

What was presented inside was not Song Huiwen's previous wide-mouthed face.

Instead, it is a... abyss.

click!
A headless corpse fell with a thud, staining the field red.

The elderly craftsman was killed.

Because of killing residents and further violations, more and more pumpkin vines wrapped around them, but... a piercing, distant, primal shriek came from between the pumpkin headgear.

It shattered the hood.
It reveals Song Hye-wen's true face, and her face is presented in a direct way after being combined with the comic.
