Chapter 2: The Yin-Yang Supermarket
Qin Di approached the supermarket, and his heart immediately felt a sense of unease, as if something was about to happen. He looked at the cold and deserted entrance of the supermarket, where not even a shadow could be seen. Moreover, the lights inside the supermarket gradually dimmed, revealing a faint red glow.
The light shone out from the gate and fell on Qin Di. Suddenly, Qin Di felt a slight numbness on his scalp.
In Qin Di's memory, there was not only a vacant lot here, but also a faint recollection of an artificial lake.
Qin Di suddenly had an evil thought in his heart, was this a terrifying supernatural event or a horror story?
With a self-deprecating smile, Qin Di strode in with large steps.
The next moment, his whole body was bathed in the crimson light, a strange feeling crept over his heart, as if he had passed through an invisible door...
Ding Dong!
A faint electronic sound...
Qin Di walked into the supermarket.
"Welcome! How can I help you?"
A very standard Mandarin voice floated and echoed in the ears, followed by a seemingly mysterious wave of secret patterns. A middle-aged man bathed in the light, wearing a very strange robe with a grayish-blue color. His face was piled high with smiles, neither like a supermarket service staff nor quite like a supermarket boss. He wore a thick pair of deep myopia glasses on his nose...
Looks very kind and polite, with a very sincere smile...
But...
Good grief! Just now the gate was clearly empty, how did a person suddenly appear out of thin air in the blink of an eye?
Qin Di's scalp felt numb again, with endless shock. Due to the lighting or other reasons, his line of sight was blocked and he couldn't see the scene in the supermarket clearly. Faintly visible were rows and rows of shelves neatly placed inside the supermarket.
"Hmm, I think I've come to the wrong place. Goodbye!" Qin Di said without thinking, his heart finally in a state of panic, that bad premonition becoming even clearer.
He didn't have time to figure out how this middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of him, constantly reminding himself that the guy in front of him wasn't human.
This supermarket in front of me is too weird!
Without hesitation, just as Qin Di was about to turn around, a middle-aged man with a sincere smile called out to him: "Please wait a minute, customer. Since you've entered the supermarket, aren't you here to shop? Or do you not want to take a look at our specialty products? Or perhaps... you haven't heard of this supermarket's biggest rule?"
"What rules? What rules?" Qin Di was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of any supermarket setting rules for customers. Qin Di finally took a serious look at the middle-aged man in front of him...
He has a kind smile, is sincere, and doesn't have any fatal flaws; it's almost impossible to pick out any faults. However, precisely because of this, Qin Di feels that he is just like a wolf in sheep's clothing...
Especially... his strange and weird robe, a very unusual garment, looked like a green Daoist robe.
Qin Di had a bad feeling...
A middle-aged man's smile suddenly froze, and he said stiffly: "The rule is... entering my Yin-Yang Supermarket, it's either life or death..."
Qin Di's face suddenly stiffened...
The middle-aged man pointed to the supermarket entrance behind him with a smile and said, "Please turn back and take a look."
Qin Di couldn't help but turn his head back and look, and suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine.
Under the red glow of the lamp, there was no door behind him, only a faint eerie light that seemed to emanate from the blood-red radiance in front of him.
What's even more eerie is that the middle-aged man, who had a kind and sincere face just a moment before, suddenly flashed a dark and sinister look on his face, his tone changed, and his voice was cold and bone-piercing as he said: "Enter my Yin-Yang Supermarket, and you will have no regrets in life or death!"
Then he let out a loud and fierce laugh, his robes fluttering without wind, his expression ferocious and cold. Qin Di seemed to hear a strange howling sound, then suddenly a crimson light flashed before his eyes, making it hard for him to see. It was as if there were shimmering halos, and Qin Di felt his body moving involuntarily forward, as if he had traversed time and space. The experience was incredibly long, yet it only lasted for an instant. When Qin Di opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a supermarket.
"Welcome to Yin Yang Supermarket..."
"This supermarket provides first-class service, with clear and transparent pricing, no cheating of old or young, flexible operations, is a large-scale comprehensive retail market..."
"This supermarket guarantees its products and absolutely does not sell counterfeit or inferior goods..."
"Low cost, low profit..."
"One-stop shopping, ultra-low prices, free service, self-service..."
A sharp electronic sound rang in his ears, and the middle-aged man stood in front of Qin Di again with a smile...
He smiled and looked at Qin Di, introducing in a very professional tone: "Customer, this supermarket has various beverages, wine, snacks, daily necessities, medicine, health products, fresh meat, tonic products, dry goods food, and daily living products. It is divided into several areas such as food area, fruit area, daily necessities area, medical area, knife area... with clear prices and free selection. The area we are standing in is the fruit area, where every type of fruit is guaranteed to be absolutely non-polluting, natural, and fresh. Not only is it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but it's also good for physical and mental health."
A middle-aged man with a smiling face forgot to introduce himself.
He was so excited that he forgot himself and sprayed saliva onto Qin Di's face...
