Chapter 567: Chapter 549: Stench
At the mont when the ball was drawn over at Katayama’s side,
Wu Wen also quietly approached Luo Di from behind, tiptoed closer to his ear, and whispered:
“Luo Di, be careful… although Katayama isn’t inherently bad or malicious, he himself is a source of danger.
In terms of danger level, he’s no lower than anyone else.
Be careful, I don’t want you to catch any illness; you still need to accompany after we get out.”
“Illness?”
Just as Luo Di wanted to ask more about the specifics, Wu Wen had already backed away and started chatting casually with Hua Yuan.
The clerk also began drawing up a second lottery box using blank paper.
“Next, please have each team send a representative to draw the trial operation event you’ll face. We don’t have many choices like in the corner; what you draw is what you get.”
As the other teams stepped forward to draw,
Katayama, however, had no intention of going up, but instead tried to lick off the mucus around his face with his tongue, saying sowhat embarrassedly:
“Student Luo, why don’t you go draw? My hands are too big to fit. Also, my body involuntarily secretes this slly mucus, which would affect others.”
Luo Di looked at the honest and simple appearance of the other person and was sowhat surprised that such a monster existed in the corner.
Moreover, the keenly perceptive Luo Di could tell that Katayama’s “honesty” was not a disguise but his true nature.
Therefore,
Luo Di didn’t mind the other’s foul odor or shabby appearance and proactively placed his hand on Katayama’s shoulder, patting it,
“Your connection with Teacher Guo is the closest, and the vortex might bring good luck here. It’s okay, just go ahead, don’t worry about what others think.”
“Luo Di, don’t touch … you’ll get sick!”
Katayama quickly moved his shoulder to free Luo Di’s hand.
“It’s fine, my hand has undergone special treatnt and shouldn’t…”
Luo Di thought that learning from his grandmother during this ti, and entering the “Bloom Period” where the buds shaped like hands, should make his hands different.
Even if Katayama was really dangerous, it shouldn’t affect his hand with just a touch.
Who knew, Luo Di’s expression quickly turned serious, and his words were interrupted.
He imdiately looked at his hand.
He saw that the mucus clinging to the surface of his palm was swirling and slowly drilling into the center of his palm, even though the skin was intact, suggesting a strange illness was trying to infect his body.
Luo Di had a premonition that if he were completely infected, he would beco as greasy and carry a snail shell like Katayama.
Consciousness Slash!
The smooth-cut hand fell to the ground; without Luo Di’s body, the hand was quickly corroded by the mucus.
The internal bones calcified rapidly, making the hand’s back protrude in a snail shell shape, while the five fingers beca soft and squird freely, moving like snails on the ground.
Soon it crawled to Katayama’s feet and fused into his body.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry~” Katayama repeatedly apologized, “Please reduce contact with as much as possible, Luo student; many people have died just by accidentally touching , I’m really sorry.”
Luo Di quickly regenerated his hand, maintaining a smile, “No worries, go ahead and join the draw, we’re the last ones.”
“Oh… okay.”
When Katayama went to draw, many gazes turned toward him, including Lebeite who noticed what just happened, while Yu Ze adjusted his glasses, seemingly indicating that what Luo Di drew was the real bad luck.
“Luo student, this is the last ball. There should be a sheet of draft paper inside it, with the event we need to handle written on it; let’s hope it’s not too difficult.”
“You open it yourself.”
“Oh right, there’s my mucus on it, you can’t touch it.”
Even after mustering all his strength, Katayama couldn’t unscrew the small ball and helplessly had to increase the secretion of mucus, directly corroding the ball open.
A “draft paper” folded multiple tis was stored inside.
It resembled the parchnt provided for participants to choose movie events at the corner image store.
When the draft paper was finally unfolded, a fishy sll wafted over, and both Luo Di and Katayama inadvertently inhaled so of it.
A deep and nauseating feeling erged from within, as if a dead fish were frantically wriggling from lack of oxygen at the tail end, gnawing at their stomach lining.
When Luo Di wanted to resolve the intrusion using heat from Hell and internal tal wires,
the abnormal sensation quickly vanished,
like a fish swimming into the riverbed, leaving no trace of movent.
Luo Di promptly conducted a full body examination, still finding nothing unusual, as if it was just a vivid olfactory hallucination.
However, this peculiar fishy odor reminded him of sothing,
possibly during the previous visit to the Black Coffin Supermarket with Hua Yuan, encountering the mysterious manga shop where a similar scent emanated from a manga.
But the mory was lost, making it impossible to recall any details.
Refocusing on the draft paper, its exaggerated chaotic lettering reminiscent of the corner video store’s event requirents caught his eye.

Note (standard font, written with concealed ink by a forr clerk):
The shop has been subject to unknown invasion, and my connection with the corner is gradually diminishing, with so sort of alienation occurring here.
Latecors, please note, if my face no longer has corner structures, it implies I’ve been fully transford, likely losing control and becoming soone else’s puppet.
Please be sure to help identify the root of alienation and report the information to the corner, crisis is approaching.
As soon as you step foot in this shop, the impact of alienation has already spread within you, be sure to pay attention to the timing of handling the event.
“Alienation? Could it be that the breath I just inhaled is a form of influence.
And judging from the descriptions on this, even dungeon events have been affected, and the film itself has been corroded by alienation.
The rewards seem peculiar too, but obtaining special corner coins sounds good.
It’s currently a crucial stage for plant growth, try to avoid influences, and minimize unwanted epiphanies.”
Luo Di first raised his eyes to observe the other mbers, who all seed sowhat uneasy gazing at their events, except for Lebeite, who was excited about encountering new things.
“Teacher Guo… what about you?”
Standing motionless at the counter, Teacher Guo said, “Just make sure you complete the events each of you drawn, I have more troubleso matters to handle.
Once we complete an alienation contact, we can report the specific situation here to the corner.
As to whether what you gain from here is good or bad, or whether to absorb it into your pituitary, you must judge for yourself, I offer no advice.
After everything is over, I’ll use the vortex to send you back to school.
If you’re ready, quickly start, so among you should already sense ‘discomfort’, ti is running out.”
Since Teacher Guo had spoken, Luo Di no longer hesitated.
Although determining Teacher Guo’s true stance was impossible, based on Invisible Manor’s decision to trust Teacher Guo, even entrusting Lebeite here, it was clear he sided with the corner.
“Katayama, let’s go… we might need to speed up, don’t be sluggish this ti.”
“Sorry, I’ll try to hurry.”
Katayama imdiately started to jog, panting heavily.
Luo Di had already moved ahead to the comic store’s exit,
As Wu Wen and Hua Yuan happened to pass by, they didn’t exchange many words and only left with a simple reminder: “Don’t die.”
Katayama arrived.
The two of them walked together into the dark exit.
Buzz!
Spatial transport.
When Luo Di opened his eyes, he was already dressed in a white shirt, with an employee badge hanging on his chest, sitting at his designated workstation, a steaming lunch box placed on the desk, surrounded by all kinds of docunts needing processing.
From the crevices of the lunch box seeped a familiar fishy sll.
Curiously, Luo Di opened it,
finding a dead fish lying inside, its eyes wide open, staring at him…
