Dimensional Store: Welcome to the Apocalypse Apartment - Chapter 250

Chapter 250

Lulu had no physical body, so Gu Huaiwei had no way to pry her out of the wall. However, when the nails had shot out earlier, cracks had appeared in the black video camera.

Gu Huaiwei took the camera down.

After fiddling with it a few times, the camera projected footage of the other girls in the class clique bullying Xiaoyu.

Every shot was focused on Xiaoyu.

Countless hands shoved her around.

They threw her schoolbag into the hot spring pool.

They wrote humiliating words on her school uniform.

They tore up her report card.

They used a stapler to punch holes in her arm.

They even locked her in the basement of the Hot Spring Mansion when her parents’ conditions worsened and she needed to go to the hospital to see them one last time. Then they scattered nails all over the vent in the only passageway.

During all of this, she never once called any of those boys for help.

In the final shot, she stumbled into the hot spring pool, searching for her shoes.

Then, because she was exhausted, she slipped and fell into the pool. Her own long hair tangled around her, and she slowly suffocated.

Lulu was not in the footage.

She was the one filming.

The camera kept recording until Xiaoyu no longer reached out to struggle and her corpse floated on the surface of the pool. Only then was the camera set down crookedly on the floor.

Lulu walked out. Her face could not be seen. Only her lower body was visible.

She pried open the corpse’s swollen eyes, drove two nails into them, and then laughed softly.

Gu Huaiwei slapped the camera. She really wanted to smack Lulu right out of it.

Bang, bang, bang-

“Give me two strips of diet pills, would you?”

“I can trade you my Lifespan for them.”

“Your family runs a hospital, so you should have plenty of diet pills, right? Don’t just hide behind the lens all the time. Come on out and take a little stroll.”

“As an Anomaly, how can you be too shy to meet people? Hurry up and come out. At worst, I won’t stare at your face.”

The room fell into dead silence.

Like a movie theater after the final curtain had come down.

Crack- Gu Huaiwei snapped the camera’s cover shut so hard it broke.

She did it on purpose.

Tap, tap, tap- Gu Huaiwei pressed the camera’s buttons until they got stuck and could no longer spring back up.

She still did it on purpose.

After a round of this, the camera was almost scrapped.

And then Lulu was forcibly booted up.

The camera projected a new image onto the wall.

The image showed this very room.

Lulu walked over to the bottom of the TV cabinet. Without saying a word, she entered a passcode, took out a pile of medicine from inside, and then hurled it to the floor with a clatter. After that, she walked to the spot in the footage where the camera was positioned and pressed the power button.

The camera in Gu Huaiwei’s hands grew hot.

It seemed very angry about being forced to work overtime.

Gu Huaiwei obtained a pile of pills.

Since the instructions on the medicine were written in Anomaly language, Gu Huaiwei could not read them.

She simply took the entire bag with her.

The Hot Spring Mansion Director’s Younger Brother had just finished intimidating An Qiushui, who had bought a Fake Student ID.

The Fake Student ID was one of the props required to clear the instance using the B-grade Method.

An Qiushui had strictly followed the Rules, so the Fat Cook had failed to turn her into fresh braised meat soup, leaving him in a foul mood.

He pulled down the rolling shutter door, hummed a little tune, and pushed out his braised meat stall. Using a ladle, he stirred the thighbone soup that was no longer very fresh, then brought the hot broth to his greasy lips, slurped a mouthful, smacked his lips, and felt that the flavor was off.

He needed fresh people.

Then, he smelled the scent of fresh people.

He had thought it was another Trial-taker, but when he looked up, he saw Gu Huaiwei.

What a disaster.

He immediately turned his cart around and headed back.
From a distance, Gu Huaiwei saw the Fat Cook trying to run.

As if it would be that easy.

She hurried forward and grabbed hold of the braised meat stall.

“You Anomalies in the Instances really are getting colder and colder toward me,” Gu Huaiwei said, pretending to be hurt. “And here I thought I was being nice, bringing you weight-loss pills at your brother’s request.”

“Kakaka… I’m not eating them!”

“I’m not sick! What right do you have to force medicine down my throat?”

Gu Huaiwei was carrying a huge bag of pills.

According to the Rules, she was supposed to find the correct weight-loss pill from the pile.

But Gu Huaiwei felt that would be too much trouble.

The Fat Cook tried to abandon his stall and flee, only to be caught by Gu Huaiwei.

Gu Huaiwei decided to test the pills on him one by one.

“Don’t be so resistant. Your brother is only worried about you. You’re too fat. It’s already affecting your health.”

She popped out a pill, shoved it into the Fat Cook’s mouth, then poured a big mouthful of braised meat broth after it. Clamping a hand over his mouth, she shook his head up and down until he swallowed.

That pill was wrong.

The Fat Cook’s body began to swell, and his strength surged as he tried to break free of Gu Huaiwei’s grip.

“Stop squirming.” Seeing that the Fat Cook wasn’t cooperating, Gu Huaiwei pinned him to the ground and fed him a second pill.

The second pill was wrong too.

The Fat Cook’s head began to grow larger.

The third pill, the fourth…

“Kakaka… Stop feeding me! I’ll take it myself!”

The Fat Cook picked the correct weight-loss pill out of the pile himself, opened his mouth, and swallowed it dry without even washing it down with braised meat broth.

After he took it, the tumors growing all over his body slowly receded. The bloated face from before gained sharper bone structure, and the oil-stained clothes that had been stretched tight against his body gradually became loose.

He was like a block of melting butter.

Once the outer layer of flesh melted away, he actually looked a little better. Sure enough, fat people all had potential. His features resembled the Hot Spring Mansion Director’s, only younger. At this moment, he was staring at Gu Huaiwei with a face full of resentment.

Furious, but too afraid to say a word.

The Hot Spring Mansion Director’s request wasn’t just for his younger brother to lose weight. He also wanted his younger brother to give up the braised meat business, focus on running the convenience store, and become a good family member by ordinary standards.

“I’m confiscating your stall.”

“Also, you need to write me a letter of guarantee. Promise that you’ll run the convenience store properly and be a good younger brother to your brother.”

Of course, the Hot Spring Mansion Director’s Younger Brother was unwilling to agree.

But after Gu Huaiwei engaged him in a friendly negotiation laced with a small amount of violence, he wrote a letter of guarantee in braising sauce, paid Gu Huaiwei 2,000 days of Lifespan as a braised meat stall garbage disposal fee, and then watched mournfully as Gu Huaiwei pushed his braised meat stall away.

In the Anomaly group chat, the Hot Spring Mansion Director’s Younger Brother posted about his tragic experience.

The screen filled with Anomaly slang.

Braised Meat Stall Owner Who Lost His Dream: Watch out for this human. She robs Anomalies inside Instances.

Lulu (Under Repair): +1

Lulu (Under Repair): This human doesn’t play by the Rules. Her destructive power is insane.

Return My Leather Drum: She can also beat up Anomalies.

Return My Leather Drum: She never leaves us alone. She’s shown up in several Instances already.

Xiaoyu: Experienced it. Behaving now.

Xiaoyu: Whatever she wants, just give it to her so she’ll leave our Instance as soon as possible.

Hot Spring Mansion Director: She wants me…

Lulu (Under Repair): Director, you can’t leave! If you leave, our Instance’s difficulty level will drop!

Braised Meat Stall Owner Who Lost His Dream: Bro, I’ve already lost weight successfully and written the letter of guarantee. You can go with her in peace.
