I deliver food in a bizarre world

Chen Mo stopped the car on the side of the road in the bustling city center.

That figure was like a thorny bramble, wrapped around his heart.

He desperately wanted to forget the other person's existence, but the more he tried, the more vivid the image of that figure became!

Was he waving goodbye to himself?

He's laughing, but what is he laughing at?

Chen Mo was in a state of confusion. Instead of leaving immediately, he took out his phone.

The screen lights up, and the black and red-colored unnamed app firmly occupies the center position of one of the screen's pages.

Upon clicking, blood-red text was coldly displayed before my eyes.

[Character: Chen Mo]

[Spiritual Notes: 1750]

【Jade Fate: 0】

[Item: Empty]

[Spiritual Awakening: Initial Awakening (10%), please note that 30% remains.]

[Abilities: Spiritual Eye (Beginner, 10%), Mirror Affinity (Beginner)]

"A narrow escape from death..."

Chen Mo chewed on those four words, his lips twitching slightly as he gave a bitter smile.

Absolutely! If we had been even half a second slower, who knows what would have happened...

He may have already become that thing in the mirror at this moment.

"Hmm? A new feature has been unlocked?"

He noticed that two previously grayed-out, unclickable icons at the bottom of the personal information panel had suddenly lit up!

He then remembered that Blood Letter had mentioned it briefly when the mission was completed.

The two functions are [Items] and [Shop].

He first clicked on the [Items] menu.

The entire interface resembles a thumbnail of a locker, with thirty compartments arranged in a 5x6 format on the phone screen. Next to each compartment is a line of text:

Storage space: 1 cubic meter.

Below the text, there is a line of smaller print explaining the explanation.

[Mind access is limited to non-living objects. The phone must be within one meter of your body during access.]

Chen Mo's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

What is this?

A storage ring? A storage phone?

Is it a radical overhaul of the cultivation world?

Is it possible for my phone to develop the ability to travel through time in the future?

Is my phone evolving into a stupid gadget?

He tried to concentrate, thinking about how to insert the live-streaming phone into the slot.

The moment the thought crossed my mind, the phone vanished!

At the same time, a miniature image of his live-streaming phone appeared in the lit-up cell of the [Items] section.

"Holy crap..."

Despite being mentally prepared, Chen Mo was still quite shocked by this surreal scene.

This is much more useful than any kind of spiritual eye!

He was so surprised that he forgot to lower his voice.

A dozen meters away, several passersby who were shopping cast puzzled glances at them...

Fortunately, it was dark, so they couldn't see Chen Mo's movements. If it had been broad daylight, he would definitely be on the front page the next day!

He focused his mind again.

The phone image in the grid disappeared, and then my palm felt a weight as the phone reappeared.

I tried it several times, and from the initial novelty, I gradually became numb to it.

He stopped what he was doing when he saw someone walking towards him.

This feature is so useful! I can stuff all sorts of random things into it now, saving time and effort while keeping it discreet!

One cubic meter isn't a large amount, but it can hold a lot of things in a critical moment.

At least, situations like today, where someone carries a mirror and wanders around a haunted building, will no longer happen, which will avoid a lot of trouble!

Then, he clicked on the [Shop].

The interface has changed, but the style remains a somber black and red background.

The product list appeared before me; there weren't many items, but each one seemed strange.

At the top of the shop, there are two options. The left one is "Sell," which means you can buy things with Spirit Coins.

[Basic Tranquilizing Incense (Disposable): When lit, it can slightly dispel low-level evil spirits and stabilize the mind for 10 minutes. Price: 50 Spirit Coins.]

[Evil-Dispelling Talisman (One-Time Use): Deals some damage to low-level spirits. Price: 100 Spirit Coins.]

[Yin Spirit Water (Single Use): Apply to the eyelids to temporarily enhance the effect of the Spirit Eye for 3 minutes. Increases mental fatigue after use. Price: 80 Spirit Coins.]

【Tracing Paper Crane (Defective Product): Infused with a trace of spiritual energy, it can track specific auras (low success rate). Price: 150 Spirit Coins.】

The right-hand section is for "Recycling," which lists the items he can exchange for spirit coins:

[The mirror stained with resentment (complete): 50 spirit coins.]

[Willow core wood over ten years old: 30 spirit notes.]

[Grave Soil (Requires Specific Time): 20 Spirit Coins.]

【…】

All of them were things he had never heard of before, and they sounded very unlucky.

Chen Mo looked at the 1750 spirit coins on his panel, then at the prices of items in the shop, and shook his head.

These spirit money really doesn't last long; a stick of incense costs 50, and a talisman costs 100...

His meager possessions were only enough to buy ten talismans, and these were all consumables; once used, they were gone!

After browsing the newly unlocked features, he called his grandfather.

On the other end of the phone, Grandpa's voice was hoarse: "You're out?"

Those three simple words brought a bitter taste to Chen Mo's mouth; he knew what his grandfather meant.

"I'm out," he replied, his voice a little muffled. "Just came out."

"Are you alright?" Grandpa pressed, his suppressed concern finally showing through his voice.

"It's nothing," Chen Mo paused, then added, "I'm just a little exhausted."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Grandpa's voice relaxed a bit.

"It's good that you're alright... You're lucky to have come out of that place unharmed."

Chen Mo didn't respond; he didn't know what to say.

Just thinking back to what happened before, the dark figure, the mirror in the hotel, my reflection in the mirror, and the last "him" who appeared...

He shivered, and the back of his neck began to feel cold again.

"You..." Grandpa seemed to want to ask him about the details, but he swallowed the words back and instead asked, "What are your plans now?"

Chen Mo gripped his phone tightly, his voice low and somber.

"Grandpa, this thing... we can't avoid it, right?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, but in this situation, silence itself was the most affirmative answer.

After a long while, Grandpa sighed deeply, his sigh filled with exhaustion and a sense of resigned desolation.

"Moya, you've grown up... There are some things Grandpa can't stop you from doing, so it's still necessary for you to understand the dangers involved..."

"This thing will definitely keep bothering you, and the penalties for completing the mission will only get worse..."

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.

"Temporarily depriving one of the senses is the lightest punishment; a more severe punishment is permanent loss of the senses, or even death..."

"However, as you probably understand, when you're in danger, losing your senses can be quite fatal..."

"Smell and taste are okay, but if it's sight, hearing, or touch, then that's really dangerous..."

Chen Mo pursed his lips: "Is there any way to undo this?"

He knew very well that if he backed down after accepting the mission and it failed, there was at least a one-in-five chance of death.

While refusing to accept tasks and losing some senses may not be a problem if one stays in a safe place, who can guarantee that the app will not continue to issue orders during the period of sensory loss?

When the time comes, will you accept it or not?

"There's no good solution for now... but you're not the only one who's special, so you should be prepared."

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat; he had a vague sense of foreboding. "What do you mean?"

Based on the information I've gathered, this thing will...spread within a month or two, or even a year!

"Spread?" Chen Mo's eyelids twitched involuntarily. "Does that mean...widespread?"

If this were to spread... it would be an unprecedented disaster and blow to the current social order.
