Chapter 974: Chapter 453 ’Convenience Store Owner -003

In a daze, Lin Yi felt as if he could sense a few cold breaths rushing past his arm, the chilling breath raising the hairs on his skin and causing his soul to shudder.

Around the corpse pile, some strange plants seemed to be growing, their roots deeply embedded in the corpses, drawing nutrients. The leaves exhibited a sickly purple hue, emitting a faint glow, as if they were some kind of extremely evil flowers or bizarre crops growing directly out of the pile of corpses.

And the writhing body, the other end of it seemed to extend all the way to the edge of the deep abyss inside the Convenience Store, eventually disappearing into the Mist, until both sight and Perception could no longer detect it.

Lin Yi saw the giant corpse pile expand and contract as if breathing, as flesh collided and rubbed against one another, causing the sticky liquid to tremble in the air like highly viscous mucus. Whispering words, that made one feel horrified, drifted from the corpse pile to Lin Yi’s ears, but this time, it was a call in obscure syllables...

[...store stjerner...]

[store stjerner...]

He felt a strong call, a call that made him yearn to plunge into the embrace of the corpse pile and become a part of it.

But his will quickly prevailed, abruptly rejecting this call...

Of course, mainly because the eerie feeling of this corpse pile was far too severe.

"I just ’whoosh’ got here... is my speed really that fast? Or did I have an Out of Body Soul experience, now in the state of ’My World’?"

Lin Yi thought of this and glanced down at his watch.

11:26.

Time was flowing, but the second hand moved very slowly.

"Go back."

If it’s "My World", a try would make sure of it.

He gave a thought, and sure enough, the surroundings began to distort.

Immediately after, his Vision returned to its original place.

"It really is ’My World’."

Lin Yi shook his head slightly, planning to move forward while looking for the Convenience Store Owner.

But just then, a voice carrying a touch of exhaustion in its coolness suddenly came from behind in the flowing Mist.

"Hey... you’re here."

"This voice...?" Lin Yi’s eyes lit up, this seemed to be the voice of the Convenience Store Owner?

But he did not act recklessly, just stared at the dark area where the mist flowed.

Because the source of this voice was simply too sinister, actually coming from the direction of the corpse pile!

Gradually, the space in the direction of the corpse pile subtly fluctuated, and a figure stepped out through the coldness surging within the Convenience Store...

The arrival’s figure was tall and erect, like a pine tree standing alone in the cold night.

Lin Yi frowned slightly.

Then the figure became clearer.

A neat white shirt, its cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing strong and beautifully lined forearms...

Lin Yi’s brow furrowed...

A dark blue suit jacket over the white shirt, its crisp edges lacking a single crease, exuding an indescribable feeling of refinement...

Lin Yi’s brows were now furrowing tighter...

The person was finally bathed in light.

He appeared very young, at least, compared to the lazy and dissolute Convenience Store Owner, this person was very young.

His facial features were extremely gentle, brows like ink paintings, with a slightly upward arc carrying a natural sense of arrogance and disdain. His long eyes were like deep cold pools, with icy lights emanating from the mysterious blue depths.

His nose was high and straight, his thin lips slightly curved upwards to form a lingering faint smile, which seemed warm but oddly sent a chill down Lin Yi’s spine...

He approached Lin Yi gracefully and elegantly...

"What, don’t recognize me?" He slowly spoke, his tone cool and composed, like a super villain orchestrating events with absolute confidence.

"Aizen Sousuke..." This was the first thought that emerged in Lin Yi’s mind.

The person before him, elegant yet aloof and composed, was completely inconsistent with his previous impression of a middle-aged man dressed in flashy baggy shorts and a chest-baring pajama, looking lazy and disheveled.

The difference in temperament aside, even the appearance was worlds apart; this surely was "not recognized," damn it!

The individual saw Lin Yi being alert and not replying, yet wasn’t angry, just smiled, and then pulled out the handkerchief from his chest pocket.

By the end of the pull, a sign made of white acrylic appeared, surrounded by a pattern of Thorny Wreath, with a golden numeration in the center: "Convenience Store Owner -003."

"Lin Yi, let’s get reacquainted... ’Convenience Store Owner -003’." The Convenience Store Owner revealed a smile, increasingly resembling an Aizen.

At the same time, a light golden Breath unexpectedly rose from the Convenience Store Owner’s body, entwining continuously behind him, eventually forming an Out of Body Soul image of an acquaintance who wore a jacket, had a hat, went barefoot in slippers, was unshaved, and appeared carefree and decadent middle-aged uncle look.

That was indeed the "Convenience Store Owner" image Lin Yi previously saw at the Bell Tower in the Art Building Layers.

The image spoke lazily, "Lin Yi, you’ve come."

Then, like the smoke, it dissipated and merged into the body of this elegant Convenience Store Owner -003 in front of Lin Yi.

"You really are... the Owner?" Lin Yi opened his mouth wide, still in disbelief.

After all, the contrast was truly overwhelming.

"Genuinely." Convenience Store Owner -003 said.
