Supermarkets connect to all realms, it's not too much for a succubus to like me, is it?

"What... is going on?"

Zhao Qinghan's voice was wary.

Lin Mo stuffed the candy into his mouth and answered vaguely, his expression calm.

"Oh, you mean them?"

He pointed at the two guys with a completely matter-of-fact expression.

"Don't be nervous, he's a performance artist. He insisted on coming to my shop in the middle of the night, saying he wanted to put on a performance art piece about 'the moment and eternity'."

Zhao Qinghan: "..."

She felt that her intelligence and professional ethics had been insulted like never before.

Her gaze landed precisely on Lin Mo's hand holding the candy, her voice cold and devoid of any warmth.

"Hands up, turn around."

Lin Mo's lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing this cold command.

This girl is really ruthless; she loaded her gun right away. You can tell she's a fearless person.

But he is the store manager after all, and behind this counter is his territory.

He slowly raised his hands, turned around, and faced Zhao Qinghan, his tone still relaxed and at ease.

"Officer, here's what happened."

Lin Mo pointed.

"These two barged into my shop in the middle of the night, insisting that they were there to do some kind of 'performance art.' I tried to persuade them, but they seemed to have gone crazy and wouldn't listen to me at all."

Zhao Qinghan's eyes narrowed; clearly, she wasn't so easily fooled.

A red light flashed in her eyes, indicating that she had activated some kind of special ability to examine the two of them.

But it gave her a jolt. There was a chill emanating from these two people, a chill that even made her, an E-level ability user, feel a chill.

"Don't say you're one of their accomplices."

Zhao Qinghan's voice was icy.

"In the height of summer, such intense cold is clearly a sign of being frozen by a high-level energy entity. Explain what's going on?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this girl was really tough.

However, he had already prepared a set of explanations, so he was not in a hurry.

He took a plastic cup from under the counter, poured in some hot water, took a small sip, and then slowly said:

"Let me explain slowly. These two men were carrying a bottle of 'banned chemical freezing agent,' claiming it could freeze everything instantly. I wanted to kick them out, but they insisted on dragging me to the small warehouse in the back, saying they wanted to 'test it out.'"

Zhao Qinghan frowned and walked step by step toward the two people, almost reaching out to touch them.

Seeing that she was about to fall for his trick, Lin Mo sighed inwardly. This girl really never learns her lesson.

Just as Zhao Qinghan's fingers were about to touch it, Lin Mo pressed the lighter he had been carrying in his pocket without hesitation.

"Click".

The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet shop.

A cluster of orange flames then leaped up, instantly neutralizing the surrounding chill.

Liang Kun's body melted rapidly inside, and thick water vapor from his body spread through the air.

The high temperature released by the small flame acted like an invisible barrier, firmly protecting Zhao Qinghan's hand and allowing her to retreat safely.

Zhao Qinghan gasped.

She never imagined that such a small lighter could have such a powerful effect.

Her gaze became more scrutinizing, as if she were examining a potentially dangerous person.

Lin Mo simply smiled faintly, took out his phone from the drawer under the counter, opened the surveillance video, and handed it to Zhao Qinghan.

"Watch the surveillance footage for the first half hour yourself."

"These two tried to cause trouble as soon as they came in, but before I could even react, they were frozen in place."

Lin Mo said, his tone somewhat innocent, as if he were also a victim.

Zhao Qinghan took the phone and stared intently at the screen.

Monitoring.

Liang Kun and the black-robed old Taoist priest, carrying a bottle of unknown freezing agent, arrogantly rampaged through the entire store. Finally, in the cold storage area, their actions suddenly stopped.

"this……"

It was exactly the same as Lin Mo's story.

Zhao Qinghan's hands trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she was also wavering.

Although the video looks a bit strange, there is indeed no trace of Lin Mo making a move.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"Could you show me the refrigerant they brought?"

Lin Mo chuckled, took out the bottle of freezing agent from a small box beside him, and handed it to Zhao Qinghan.

The label on the bottle was frozen and blurred, but some strange symbols could still be vaguely discerned.

Zhao Qinghan took the refrigerant, frowned and examined it carefully, but found nothing unusual.

"This stuff isn't ordinary refrigerant; I suspect it's some kind of crystallized death energy from the underworld."

Lin Mo said it casually.

"They said this thing could freeze everything instantly, but look, it even broke the refrigeration unit."

Zhao Qinghan nodded, but her heart was still full of doubts.

She turned on the walkie-talkie and spoke to the support team outside:

"There's some trouble here, and we need you to come over. These two ice...people need to be handled carefully."

"Received, coming right away."

Zhao Qinghan turned to look at Lin Mo, her eyes still holding a cautious glint.

Lin Mo leisurely took out a phone stand, fixed the phone on the counter, and continued peeling the candy wrappers.

"Officer, you're also an ability user. I know the rules of your 'Abnormal Phenomena Management Bureau'."

"But you'd better hurry, this stuff is frozen too deep. If it's not thawed soon, it might really become frozen meat."

Zhao Qinghan's investigative gaze lingered on Lin Mo for a moment, clearly speechless at his composure, but she still quickly left the supermarket.

Lin Mo silently recited this in his mind.

[System, Xiaobai, absorb the death energy from the underworld within these two people, but don't let them die.]

[Host instructions received, in progress...]

Lin Mo felt a warm fluctuation coming from the system.

immediately.

The temperature inside the store seemed to have subtly risen a bit.

Taking advantage of Zhao Qinghan's inattention, he pressed the lighter again, trying to reduce the faint flame so as not to arouse her suspicion.

When the support team arrived, Zhao Qinghan was already waiting in front of the door.

A dozen or so special police officers in cold-weather gear quickly got to work, carefully handling the two people with various high-tech equipment.

Their movements were swift and professional, clearly indicating they were well-trained.

Lin Mo stood to the side.

About ten minutes later, the ambulance carrying the two "human ice sculptures" drove away from the scene.

Zhao Qinghan walked into the store again, her eyes becoming even more complicated.

She clearly sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Lin."

Zhao Qinghan's words carried a hint of helplessness.

"We will conduct a thorough investigation into these two individuals to ensure that this incident does not happen again here."

Lin Mo nodded and said in a relaxed tone:

"This is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Zhao Qinghan took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone calm:

"If a similar incident occurs again, we will have to take even stricter measures."

Lin Mo smiled slightly...
