I open a supermarket with strange rules

In the pitch-black hall, three green candles were lit by an invisible entity.

The faint green light illuminates the statue sitting on the high platform. Its face is like a silver plate, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and it looks very friendly. It is dressed in colorful clothes and has ribbons on its shoulders. It is awe-inspiring without being angry, and looks very much like the goddess praised by everyone in ancient times.

The candlelight became increasingly green, but Zhao Xiyue's expression gradually became uglier.

The pollution value has been increasing since she came in and has now exceeded 30 points.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have lost his mind by now and become a puppet kneeling before the statue.

Zhao Xiyue quickly exchanged blue potions from the system and drank three bottles in a row, reducing the pollution to below 10 before stopping.

For some reason, she looked up as if possessed and took another look at the statue.

With just one glance, Zhao Xiyue froze in place.

The majestic and inviolable goddess had a porcelain-white face covered with black scales, and the ribbons became wriggling black tentacles, and the slime dripping from the tentacles corroded the ground into pits. The eyes on her face kept shaking, and a cruel smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Suddenly, the trembling eyes opened, and white maggots fell from the eye sockets, crawling towards Zhao Xiyue.

The white maggots fell faster and faster, and soon formed a dense patch. A few even flew up and jumped on Zhao Xiyue's face.

The kerosene lamp from Dali's house appeared in Zhao Xiyue's hand. The light was dim, but the white maggots seemed to be afraid and moved around, giving her a moment to catch her breath.

The pollution value and suicide value in my mind dropped like crazy.

The highest death value was 99.

Zhao Xiyue’s face was pale, she kept drinking blue potion with one hand, and her mind was racing.

She felt calmer than ever before.

There are no unsolvable rules or legends in the world. Even if the mortality rate is as high as 99%, there is still a glimmer of hope.

The well is in the back hall of the Niangniang Temple.

Zhao Xiyue held the kerosene lamp like a torch, suppressed her nausea, bent down and brought the kerosene lamp close to the ground to clear a clear path for herself.

There are no doors on either side of the statue, and the entrance to the rear hall can only be behind the statue.

Zhao Xiyue quickly rushed past the statue, and the waving tentacles seemed to be stimulated and waved wildly, smashing towards Zhao Xiyue who was rushing towards the back hall.

He was preventing Himself from entering the apse.

There must be important clues in the back hall!

Candles, these strange things only appear after the candles are lit.

Zhao Xiyue stopped and while the tentacles were attacking her, two water guns appeared in her hands and she shot them accurately at the candle.

The green candlelight struggled for a few seconds and soon went out.

The tentacles and white maggots disappeared instantly, and the Sea Goddess returned to her colorfully dressed appearance.

For a moment, Zhao Xiyue didn't know which one was the illusion, the current statue or the previous statue.

But that didn't matter. She quickly pushed open the heavy wooden door and walked into the back hall.

The back hall and the front hall are like two different worlds, dark and quiet inside.

Zhao Xiyue calmed her heartbeat while looking at the back hall.

The back hall was unexpectedly simple, with nothing on all sides except for an ancient deep well in the center, from which could be heard the sound of water sloshing.

Zhao Xiyue staggered into the ancient well, with one end of a finger-thick hemp rope tied to a wooden stake and the other end sliding along the stone wall into the water.

Through the well water, Zhao Xiyue vaguely saw a black shadow in the water.

It looks like a bucket, which keeps moving in the well water and there seems to be something inside.

【Water is the only destination】

The calm water surface began to shake, and the bucket shook even more violently. Zhao Xiyue made up her mind and pulled the bucket up directly.

In addition to well water, there was also half a piece of floating paper in the bucket.

This is actually the second half of the rule.

Zhao Xiyue opened the rules and started reading.

[10. Do not eat the food in the cafeteria. If you feel hungry, you can try to find food in the old fishing village.]

[11. Water is dirty and evil, except for the water from the well in the Niangniang Temple. If you feel thirsty, please go to the Niangniang Temple to burn three incense sticks and draw water from the well.

If the bucket is empty, please leave the temple and come back to burn incense again after three hours. 】

[12. After receiving the blessing of the Sea Goddess, foreign tourists can leave the village]

The last one also seems to be a pass rule.

Among the rules found in the village chief's house, the rule for passing the level is [Gain the love of his family and they will escort you out of the village].

These two rules are also in conflict with each other, and judging from what happened just now, the Sea Goddess is a strange god.

Dali is also weird.

It's nonsense to ask humans to gain a weird favorable impression.

Only weird people can gain the favor of weird people. Is the only way to leave the village to accept assimilation and degenerate into weirdness?

Zhao Xiyue intuitively felt that the rules would not give such a fatal outcome.

There was a noisy sound of talking outside the hall.

Some people have arrived, and quite a few of them.

The footsteps of the crowd became chaotic, and the man cursed hoarsely, "Fuck, how come another one died? We haven't raised a single clam girl this month."

Another person flattered, "We can't help it. The quality of the materials that came in last time was not good, but we should be able to have a good harvest next month."

"Oh?" the hoarse-voiced man asked, "Have you got some new white goods recently?"

"Our village chief's son brought back five of them from outside! Each of them is made of top-quality material and can definitely be raised."

"How does she look?" The hoarse-voiced man chuckled and said in an obscene tone, "I'm tired of playing with those clam girls in the village."

The flattering voice said, "They are all so handsome, especially the one from Dali's family, who has curvy figure and is extremely beautiful."

"How many days have you been here? When will it be cooked?"

"It's just arrived. It will be cooked in six days."

……

In the back hall, Zhao Xiyue frowned. While shaking a wooden bucket to draw water from the well, she was thinking about the conversation just now.

She paid more attention to new terms.

Clam girl.

Zhao Xiyue walked out of the palace carefully and followed the three men.

Two of them were holding a girl with a bulging belly. The girl's exposed skin was covered with dark green scales, and green mucus was oozing from the scales and dripping continuously. The girl was twitching from time to time and had obviously lost consciousness.

The three of them entered a desolate yard. The fences around it were covered with black stains. Many bones were piled up randomly around them. In the center of the bones, there was actually a deep pool.

The pool is so deep that you can’t see the bottom. Wisps of white smoke rise from the surface of the water, and the chill is overwhelming.

There was an incense burner in front of the pond, and the incense ash accumulated on the ground like a white carpet.

The three big men casually threw the girl beside the well. The leader carefully took out three incense sticks from his arms, knelt down respectfully and bowed three times, then inserted the incense into the burner.

Incense burns without fire.

A look of joy appeared on the man's face. He took a step forward, scooped out a bowl of water, and poured it over the girl's head.

Zhao Xiyue suddenly remembered the fifth rule of the cafeteria: "If you feel unwell during the meal, please find the chef in time and ask him to give you a bowl of soup. Please note that you should not drink the soup or pour it on your head."

According to some ancient rumors, the Baihui point on the top of the head gathers the three yangs and five meetings, and is one of the important carriers of the human soul.

The cold water made the girl shiver a few seconds later, but after a few seconds, she opened her eyes.

The man was overjoyed and quickly took out a knife from his bosom. "Quick, it would be bad if the clam girl died. Now is a good time to take the pearl."

The other two men, one took out a huge rag and the other held a basin.

Several people lifted the clam girl onto the cloth, and the man carefully wiped the knife with incense ash, then the knife fell on her bulging belly.

The girl was conscious at this time, but she looked at the knife and her stomach without struggling. There was a happiness on her face that Zhao Xiyue had ever seen before.

The sharp blade cut through her skin, and round pearls rolled out, covering the cloth beneath her.
