I open a supermarket with strange rules

Inside the house, the battle-damaged man looked grim.

Zhao Xiyue locked the door, changed the bottle of water and handed it to him, "Tell me, what's wrong with your stomach?"

The battle-damaged man unscrewed the bottle cap and drank three gulps of water. He was silent for a while before he slowly said, "I'm not sure. It should be the food in the cafeteria."

Zhao Xiyue raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Tell me more about it."

The battle-damaged man recalled, “I found the rules on the second day I entered the village. At that time, there were colorful flags on the door of this house. I knocked on the door according to the rules and came in.”

"That night I sensed something strange coming in, but it left quickly. The next day Dali took me to the cafeteria for dinner. I knew the food might be problematic, but I had to eat due to the rules."

"At first I thought that the food was just used to deepen the pollution of mankind. Relying on the props to purify pollution, I obeyed the rules and ate in the cafeteria for three days."

Zhao Xiyue also guessed so. After all, there are only so many tricks in the rule-based ghost story, and the food is basically used to pollute humans.

The damaged man was silent for a few seconds, then frowned and said, "But strangely, I didn't suffer a deep contamination. On the contrary, starting from the fourth day, my body had a strong craving for the food in the cafeteria."

"I tried not to eat, but after entering the village, my body seemed to be affected. I got hungry very quickly. I might starve to death if I didn't eat for a day."

He sighed, "I had no choice but to follow the rules and go to the cafeteria to eat while looking for a way to pass the level until the seventh day."

Zhao Xiyue intuitively felt that something important happened on the seventh day.

As expected, the damaged man said, "I still couldn't make it through the seventh day. I tried to force my way out, but I was attacked and passed out."

"When I woke up again, I was already in the cellar, and my stomach had grown strangely big."

There was a hidden disgust in his brows, "Da Li said that I was pregnant, and as long as I gave birth to the baby honestly, he would send me out."

"But as you know, weird words have zero credibility."

"I tried to kill the weirdness in my stomach, but failed without a doubt. I was beaten every time I was discovered."

Zhao Xiyue noticed something was wrong and asked quickly, "How long have you been locked up?"

The battle-damaged man said, "Definitely no more than two months. I counted the number of times I ate."

Zhao Xiyue pondered for a moment, "Is there something strange in my stomach?"

The battle-damaged man said nothing, his expression growing darker.

The cafeteria is separate for men and women, and they serve different food.

It turns out that the food is the transformation of the human body until it can give birth to strange cubs.

That transparent glutinous rice ball can actually make a man pregnant.

Zhao Xiyue pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The battle-damaged man opened his mouth but said nothing for a long time, looking very conflicted.

After a while, he took out a small iron pendant from the sole of his shoe and said, "Take this pendant and find my companions. They may be able to save me."

Zhao Xiyue nodded and took the iron sheet. She pointed to the side as if she remembered something and asked, "Did you write the note inside?"

The battle-damaged man has a dazed expression, which doesn't seem fake.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a sudden knock on the door, and the woman outside whispered, "Manager Zhao, I'm here to give you the pearls."

Zhao Xiyue stood up, motioned for the injured man to lie on his side, and then opened the door.

The pregnant stall owner flashed in, carefully took out a wooden box from her arms, and whispered, "Manager Zhao, look at this pearl, it's our family heirloom."

The pearls in the box were almost one centimeter in diameter and had a dazzling luster. They turned out to be extremely rare polar black pearls.

Zhao Xiyue reached out and picked up the pearl. The system did not give her a death value, but the small world tree on her wrist moved slightly.

It's not a matte pearl, but it's also a good thing.

She put the pearls back into the box, took out 200 green bills from her pocket and handed them to the stall owner.

The stall owner's eyes lit up, and he touched his stomach and said, "This, this is too much."

Zhao Xiyue shook her head. "It's just a small amount of money."

"If you are willing to tell me where this black pearl came from, I have plenty of money."

The stall owner looked at Zhao Xiyue's pocket greedily, hesitated for a moment, but still refused.

"Manager Zhao, it's not that I don't want to tell you."

"If you really want to know, go to the Niangniang Temple and take a look."

As he said this, the stall owner put the green banknote into his pocket and hurried away.

Dali also induced himself to go to the Niangniang Temple in the morning.

Zhao Xiyue was deep in thought when the damaged man came out of the house and frowned, saying, "The Niangniang Temple is very likely the core of this strange story."

Judging from what he said, he must have explored it before.

The battle-damaged man did not hide it, "I didn't dare to enter the backyard. There was no problem in the front hall, but there were patrol rules in the backyard, so I didn't dare to barge in rashly."

Hearing this, Zhao Xiyue nodded, bought a bottle of blue potion and put it on the table, "I'm going to go out for a walk, please be careful."

The blue potion can purify pollution and should be useful against the damaged man.

Outside the door, Zhao Xiyue thought about it and decided to go see the village chief first.

On the way, she met Lan Ling and three other girls.

Lan Ling ran over excitedly, "Zhao Xiyue, you were so cool just now."

Zhao Xiyue burst out laughing. Lan Ling was supposed to be a future villain, but now he was following a middle school boy.

This made her curious about what had happened to make him become anti-human.

She nodded at Lan Ling and glanced at the three girls behind him.

The three of them don’t look like locals in their attire, and it’s likely that they were drawn into the world of ghost stories this time.

Are there too many outsiders in this South Bank fishing village?

The thought flashed through my mind.

The girl dressed in professional attire among the three spoke up, "We were also pulled into the world of ghost stories by accident. Fortunately, we didn't directly enter the rule-based ghost stories."

"Luckily I met Brother Ning on the way. He said he was the son of the village chief."

"Let us come back with him. He can arrange for us to stay in the fishing village for a while."

Zhao Xiyue suddenly asked, "How many of you are there? Are they all girls?"

The professional woman was stunned, her face changed slightly, and she stammered, "Eleven, all girls."

As expected, the Nan'an fishing village secretly lured women from other places into the village.

She reminded him subtly, "The scenery in the village is nice, but I can't get used to the food in the cafeteria."

The professional woman's expression changed constantly, and she finally nodded reluctantly, "I love eating chili peppers, and I really can't appreciate these pastes."

Seeing that she understood, Zhao Xiyue said no more.

This time, by coincidence, the group happened to meet the village chief as he was going out.

Seeing the crowd, he was startled, then said cheerfully, "Are you all new tourists? Follow me in."

Zhao Xiyue and her group followed him into the yard.

Although this place is shabby, it is quite large and has the layout of a quadrangle courtyard.

Opposite is the lobby, on the left are the reception room and kitchen-dining room, and on the right are the study and bedroom.

The old village chief took them to the study.

The study was not small, with bookshelves on two walls filled with books. On the desk were several thread-bound books and an open notebook.

The village chief closed the notebook, put it in the drawer, sat down behind the desk, took out five small cloth packages and handed them to everyone.

While others were busy unpacking the small cloth bag, Zhao Xiyue took out a business card from her backpack and handed it to the village chief.

She glanced at it and found that the rules in the cloth bag were made of a different material than the rules under the village chief's floor.

There is also a lot less content.

Zhao Xiyue's heart sank, but she still had a smile on her face. "Hello, village chief. I see that the pearls in the village are of very good quality, but unfortunately they are all buried in the stalls. I wonder if you are interested in earning some living expenses for everyone in the village?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, then he took the business card and took a look at it with a smile, "Manager Zhao is very eloquent."

The face covered with wrinkles like tree bark showed a bit of embarrassment, "Manager Zhao just came to the village, right? I'm a little busy these days, I'll talk to Manager Zhao in detail another day."

This is driving people away.

Zhao Xiyue nodded without any displeasure, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

When they reached the door, a burly man from the patrol came running over, passing through the crowd like a gust of wind.

In the cafeteria not far away, Zhao Xiyue saw four patrol members escorting a man with a goat head coming towards this side.

Goat man?

Zhao Xiyue's heart tightened, and she immediately thought of the goat man who was knocked to death by her in the supermarket.

Why did the goat man come to see the village chief?
