Chapter 490: Chapter 219: Out of Coins

"?!" Mao Feiyang’s complexion drastically changed, and he fell to the ground, scuttling back on his hands and feet until he hit the first shelf and stopped.

He looked carefully and saw the grey mist at the entrance of the convenience store blocked the doorway like an invisible wall. Within the mist, he could distinctly see human-shaped outlines; they were already loitering at the entrance, seemingly ready to burst in at any moment.

"Gurgle..."

Mao Feiyang swallowed hard and then faintly felt a slight tremor coming from the ground.

The feeling became clearer, and soon the entire world seemed to tremble.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang..."

Rows of shelves shook, countless grates colliding with the shelves, creating a terrifying sound.

Mao Feiyang felt as if the whole world was twisting. The door of the convenience store shook violently as if it were a window in a storm, ready to shatter at any moment.

At the same time, the lights around Mao Feiyang began to dim, a long and piercing buzz filled the convenience store, the incandescent lights on the ceiling dimmed and then suddenly brightened, turning all to red!

In an instant, this bloody red light covered the original colors of the convenience store, and Mao Feiyang’s vision, as if through a red filter, became terrifying beyond measure.

Mao Feiyang frantically looked around and realized that, at this moment, the convenience store looked like a closed arc-shaped air-raid bunker flashing with red lights!

This lengthy and piercing buzz, like the evacuation alarm in a biochemical crisis, pushed the oppression and tension in his heart to the maximum.

Lin Yi felt a chill in his heart, thinking now is the time, this is it!

This was the scene Lin Yi had seen from Mao Feiyang’s perspective while eating dinner on May 9th, but only now did he realize that the scene was actually happening in the morning!

"Wait?!"

"Could it be... there were still Student Souvenir Coins at breakfast, but none by dinner?"

At the same time, that grey mist outside the convenience store finally surged into the store along with the buzzing sound and the flickering red alarm lights!

"Huh—"

Everything happened "by the book," just as Lin Yi had seen. A horrifying cold stream within the grey mist poured in like liquid nitrogen, the area around the door of the convenience store instantly spread out to the surroundings with ice cracks formed by frost...

"Crack, crack, crack..."

With the red lights flickering unceasingly, the lengthy buzzing alarm continuing nonstop, and the spread of the cold frost unchecked, the temperature inside the convenience store plummeted, behind that ordinary door seeming to connect to a frigid hell!

Even through Mao Feiyang’s dreamscape, Lin Yi’s heart couldn’t help but harbor an intense fear of the unknown. That feeling appeared once again, accompanied by his gaze towards the convenience store’s door; behind that door, it seemed a nameless, incomprehensible, unseeable horrific entity was slowly awakening from the depths of a long dream...

"Shasha, shasha, shasha!"

"Shasha, shasha, shasha!"

"Shasha, shasha, shasha..."

The silhouettes of the Pseudo-Humans loitered, their motions upon the ground producing a goosebump-raising, creepy sound.

Finally, a pale, bloodless grey hand shot out from behind the door, then slammed heavily on the ground!

The Pseudo-Human had arrived!

No, it wasn’t clear if it was a Pseudo-Human or something between a Pseudo-Human and a Nocturnal species at certain Pollution Depth, a presence like a surge of insects, like those from the crowds Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang had seen flying kites in the dormitory building!

It might just be one of those from the crowd, now finally arriving with the grey mist, or perhaps it was a new wave of the crowd, but regardless, their target was Mao Feiyang and the others!

This arm clung to the ground, its hideous veins throbbing on its grey surface, it slowly exerted force then writhed, twisting its body, which was indistinctly human or snake-like, bit by bit out of the grey mist.

It kept its eyes closed, emitting a "fizz, fizz, fizz," trembling like a lizard, as vile, sticky saliva dripped between its teeth, "drip, drip" falling onto the floor tiles...

It seemed to try to open its eyes, but its squirming eyelids were as if glued shut and could not be opened no matter how hard it tried.

It seemed to try to stand up, but its slightly soft, grey body, like a spineless reptilian freak, could only crawl on the ground.

It flared its nostrils as if it smelled something, baring its teeth and hissing, appearing fierce and terrifying.

The first time seeing this life form, Mao Feiyang was not so much frightened by its appearance as he was disgusted.

Speaking of which, if this thing were mixed among a crowd, it would really not be so easy to distinguish, but if you were to pick one out to "closely examine," its texture details, its limb shapes, its everything, would all seem like a pretentious expert had broken up some disgusting thing and fed it to you bit by bit.

Disgusting, nauseating, intensely uncomfortable with nowhere to escape!

This shit, he was definitely eating it today!

Even if heaven’s emperor arrived, he could only deal with it piece by piece!

Luckily, Lin Yi had previewed the "script"; he knew that Mu Daxian was about to make a move.

Sure enough, Mu Daxian’s indifferent voice rang out, everything as calculated.
