Supermarkets connect to all realms, it's not too much for a succubus to like me, is it?

As Lin Mo spoke, he casually pulled out a loose potato chip from the convenience store near the school gate, a chip that had somehow ended up in his pocket.

"Sampling, right? I'll definitely cooperate with your research."

Lin Mo extended his hand warmly, standing between Professor Liu and Shen Manqing.

"Professor Liu, this involves my supermarket's trade secrets; the formula can't be leaked. Here, how about this piece? It just fell from her lips, guaranteed fresh!"

As they were talking.

With a speed so fast it was almost invisible, he flicked his fingertip lightly, sending the real "celestial potato chip" crumb flying from the corner of Shen Manqing's mouth.

At the same time, he handed that ordinary, unremarkable potato chip to Professor Liu's tweezers.

Professor Liu's mind was filled with "spiritual energy samples" at that moment.

They wouldn't even notice such a small action.

He held the ordinary potato chip with tweezers as if it were a priceless treasure, carefully placed it into a sealed sampling tube, and was so excited that his whole body trembled.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! On behalf of the scientific community, thank you!"

Watching Professor Liu carrying a tube of ordinary potato chips and running towards his lab, Lin Mo curled his lip.

Dude.

I hope you won't have a mental breakdown when your lab's analysis report comes out.

After you've finished dealing with this part...

Lin Mo casually walked over to Zhao Qinghan's team, who were escorting Liang Kun away.

"Officer, you've worked hard."

He handed her a bottle of mineral water, smiling innocently.

Zhao Qinghan glanced at him, her gaze still sharp as a knife, as if trying to see right through him:

"Did you call the police just now?"

"yes."

Lin Mo nodded calmly.

"I have a good eye, and I saw that guy acting suspiciously, holding some weird-looking metal lump in his hand, trying to shove it under the stage. I figured the school anniversary celebration couldn't afford to go wrong, and since he didn't look like a good person, I kept a closer eye on him."

This story was flawless, perfectly portraying him as a "helpful citizen, Mr. Lin".

Zhao Qinghan remained silent for a moment.

She knew things were not that simple.

But all the evidence at the scene pointed to Liang Kun, and the supermarket owner, apart from distributing a bunch of "miraculous" potato chips, was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

"There's something wrong with your potato chips."

She said it out of the blue.

"Officer, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Lin Mo immediately put on a wronged expression.

"Our 'Crane Supermarket' is a legitimate business, and all our products have certificates of conformity. Don't believe me? Try some! It's all-natural and pollution-free. It just tastes a bit better and has a stronger energizing effect. These days, it's not easy to make good products."

Zhao Qinghan gave him a deep look and didn't continue the topic.

She knew that she wouldn't get any more information by asking.

Just as she turned to leave, Lin Mo suddenly called out to her.

"Um, Officer Zhao."

He took out a coupon with a rather "down-to-earth" design from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhao Qinghan's hand.

"Our supermarket is having a promotion recently; you can get a 20% discount with a coupon."

Lin Mo lowered his voice, which carried a hint of mystery.

"I see your forehead is dark and your eyes are very rounded. It's obvious you often work night shifts, which takes a toll on your health. When you have time... you can come and sit in our shop. We have some 'energy drinks' and 'soothing snacks' here. The effects... you'll know once you try them."

Zhao Qinghan glanced down at the coupon in her hand, which read "Exclusive for Night Owls" in large red letters.

There is another line of smaller text below:

"Specializes in treating all kinds of lethargy, exhaustion, and backlash from supernatural abilities..."

Wait, a backlash from superpowers?!

Zhao Qinghan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the fingers holding the voucher tightened instinctively.

As an S-class ability user, her powerful abilities come at a great cost.

The chilling, stinging sensation that seeps from her very bones after each use of her abilities is her greatest secret.

This person...

How would you know?

She looked up at Lin Mo again.

That face, which always wore a smile, now seemed shrouded in an unfathomable mist.

For the first time, her eyes held not only scrutiny and suspicion, but also a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

She didn't say anything, but silently folded the cheap coupon and put it into the inner pocket of her uniform.

Lin Mo's smile slowly faded as he watched the Bureau's vehicles disappear into the night.

[Location of the first vending machine: The Underworld, on the banks of the River of Oblivion, beside the Stone of Three Lives.]

Lin Mo looked at the eerie place name on the system panel and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Selling things to ghosts?

Is it still on the banks of the River of Oblivion?

This system really doesn't let anything from the underworld go unpunished.

He shook his head, packed up the remaining empty cardboard boxes, and turned to walk out of the campus.

Late at night.

I should go home and check the accounts, and while I'm at it, figure out what kind of stuff to put in that vending machine in the underworld.

He pushed open the back door of the supermarket, and then the footsteps stopped.

The narrow alley, which was originally only big enough to store a few empty cardboard boxes, is now occupied by a door.

That was no ordinary door.

It is entirely black, made of neither gold nor wood, as if it were cast from solidified ink and the deepest night.

There wasn't a single pattern on the door frame.

A swirling, eerie light flowed slowly across its surface, as if the door led to some unspeakable abyss.

A faint, chilly aura, mixed with dust and incense, was seeping out from the crack in the door.

Lin Mo reached out his hand.

Before even touching the door, my fingertips felt a bone-chilling cold, as if I were touching a piece of ice that had never melted.

"Zero, can you explain? Which funeral home's freezer is connected to in my backyard?"

Lin Mo mentally complained.
