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

"Manager, you're too kind! You're only selling that level of Qingxin Jade Elixir for 500 yuan? What a waste!"

Su Jiu'er called out, then her expression turned serious and she lowered her voice.

"But seriously, you need to be careful."

Lin Mo was about to clean when he heard this and paused in his actions:

"How so?"

Su Jiu'er pointed solemnly to the gate.

"I just went back to the Demon Realm to update my status and heard some rumors."

"Recently, a large number of illegal immigrants have been trying to cross over into the human world through the rift in the underworld. Those dead ghosts are desperate for money and starvation down there."

Lin Mo frowned:

"What are they doing on Earth? Eating at a buffet?"

"Hehe, I'll eat you, and... everything from your shop!"

Su Jiu'er pointed to the soles of her feet.

"Your shop is located at the intersection of countless worlds, and its vitality is frighteningly strong."

"For those illegal immigrants to the underworld who are about to be annihilated, this place is the most tempting piece of meat."

"They've already got their eyes on this place, and they'll probably be checking it out by tomorrow night at the latest."

Lin Mo turned to look at the shelves.

Those fries and biscuits did indeed emit a faint glow under the system's enhancement.

"Illegal immigrants...?"

Vibrant with life?

What's a tonic for gods, a tempting meal for demons, but for those "illegal immigrants" from the underworld...

That's like a 1,000-watt light bulb in the dark!

"Number Zero, conduct a store-wide self-inspection!"

Lin Mo didn't even bother to complain; he just let out a low growl in his mind.

[Self-test program initiated... Energy stability in shelving area... No abnormalities at checkout... Back door barrier intact...]

The system's mechanical voice reported at a measured pace.

However, the next second, a piercing warning sound rang out!

【warn! 】

[Abnormally high-frequency fluctuations have occurred in the energy lines of Cold Storage Area B!]

[Refrigeration unit overloaded by 97%!]

[The pressure in the backup yin energy circulation pipe is zero!]

The air in the supermarket suddenly turned cold.

Lin Mo's eyes suddenly darkened, his gaze fixed on the metal door at the deepest part.

[For Employees Only]

Ice cream cold storage.

He rushed over almost instinctively.

Su Jiu'er's heart skipped a beat, and her high heels pounded rapidly on the ground, the sound particularly jarring in the deathly silence.

The next second—

A chill seeped out from under the door.

It's abnormally cold.

Like someone from another world.

Directly beneath the cold storage, grayish-white frost silently seeps out and piles up in layers, as if a breathing ice demon is hiding behind the door.

Lin Mo put on his spare gloves and carefully picked up a small amount.

The moment the powder touched the temperature of the fingertips, it hissed and turned into a wisp of smoke. A faint sour smell entered the nostrils, and a tiny hole was corroded into the surface of the glove!

"Damn, this is concentrated sulfuric acid frozen into ice cream?!"

Lin Mo cursed and immediately pulled up the internal surveillance footage of the cold storage.

The screen was completely black.

"The surveillance camera exploded from the cold."

Zero provided a concise diagnosis.

Lin Mo took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed it on the cold metal doorknob. The store manager's authority was activated instantly, forcibly obtaining the "tactile" information inside the cold storage.

In an instant, a clear image formed in his mind—

In the huge cold storage, the refrigeration unit, which should have been humming, was now deathly silent, its metal casing covered with a thick layer of completely non-reflective black ice crystals.

Above the compressor of the refrigeration unit, there was a jelly-like, translucent spherical creature.

It looks bouncy and harmless, and it's currently opening and closing as if it's sucking up something delicious.

Countless invisible sparks of electricity and yin energy drawn from the depths of the earth were being greedily swallowed into its body, not a single bit wasted.

【Ding! 】

[An unregistered underworld parasite named "Little White" has been discovered.]

[Status: Eating (extremely happy).]

[Abilities: Absolute Zero, Energy Absorption.]

[Friendly reminder: This creature is extremely timid and extremely possessive of its food.]

Lin Mo's eyes twitched violently.

Good guy.

This isn't some "illegal immigrant," this is a damn freeloader who's been mooching off my freezer!

at the same time.

In a dark alleyway a hundred meters away from the supermarket.

A shifty-eyed man named Liang Kun was trembling as he pulled a small yellow croaker from his pocket and handed it to a gaunt old Taoist priest shrouded in a black robe.

"Master, this is the deposit. The other half is yours after the deal is done. I'll do anything as long as you can get me the 'good stuff' from that shop!"

The old Taoist priest in black robes chuckled.

He snatched the gold bar and stuffed it into his sleeve, while his other hand revealed five palm-sized, pitch-black wooden puppets with expressions ranging from crying to laughing.

"Moving goods by ghosts is child's play. Let alone a few items, it wouldn't be difficult for them to empty his entire shop."

Before he could finish speaking...

The old Taoist priest pointed his fingers like a sword and chanted incantations. The five wooden puppets suddenly turned into five wisps of black smoke with a "poof" sound, ignoring the obstruction of the wall and shooting straight towards the supermarket!

"Go, fetch for me the most spiritually potent item!"

In the store.

Lin Mo was racking his brains about how to deal with the "debt dodger" in the cold storage when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught five blurry black shadows passing through the wall.

Their target was clear: they headed straight for the "Fairyland Grocery Store" shelf displaying "Refreshing Herbal Tea"!

however.

Just a second before they were about to succeed, the five little devils seemed to smell catnip at the same time. They froze, turned around in unison, and locked their greedy eyes on the door of the cold storage!

The pure yin energy emanating from there is a hundred times more tempting to them than the flesh of Tang Sanzang!

The "retrieve goods" command issued by the old Taoist priest in black robes through mental connection was instantly forgotten by them.

"call out--!"

Five plumes of black smoke rushed forward, passing directly through the heavy metal door and into the cold storage.

Lin Mo, who was pondering a countermeasure in front of the monitoring screen, only saw the semi-transparent spherical object "Little White" on the screen suddenly tremble.

"Little White," whose meal was interrupted, got angry.

The consequences... will be severe!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any heart-wrenching screams.

"Buzz—"

A very deep hum came from the depths of the cold storage.

next second.

On the monitor screen in front of Lin Mo, the few remaining pixels flickered briefly before plunging into complete darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp "snap" sound rang out.

The steel cold storage door, which was ten centimeters thick and filled with insulation material, was visibly condensing a layer of ice with an eerie blue glow from the inside out!

The ice spread rapidly, completely sealing the door and its frame against the wall, turning it into a huge, seamless block of ice.

Lin Mo slowly lowered his hand, looking at the scene before him that was comparable to Hollywood special effects, and then turned his head to look at Su Jiu'er, who was trembling and clinging to his arm in fear.

"Looks like... there won't be any popsicles for sale tonight."
