Luo Di, Wu Wen, and Hua Yuan, due to their proximity, were considered as a "group" when pulled into the small town.

They appeared directly in a cozy detached house, with various pumpkin lanterns hanging inside, and the furniture style leaned towards American pastoral.

According to the identities they found in their chest pockets,

Luo Di was the younger brother, with two older sisters at home.

A Halloween poster was posted in the most prominent place in the house.

"Award Notice"

"Pumpkin Town is hosting its annual Halloween event. Congratulations on being selected as the 'Harvest House.' There's no need to make any pumpkin food. Please head to the town square, find your seats, and enjoy the pumpkin delicacies made by other families."

**Special Note: Please pay attention to your Halloween attire.**

Luo Di drew back the curtains and looked at the town streets bustling with resident activities, where everyone was in festive dress, holding some pumpkin food to share.

"Is this... a domain?

How did it manage to cover all of us, and it feels a bit different. The completeness of this domain seems quite high, even more realistic than my Crystal Lake, and it even has interactivity."

Wu Wen responded, "Among the students at our school, only Dormo can make a domain this realistic... and this is not a dream. It feels like a special space.

Perhaps it's directly related to his pumpkin brain.

The permanent resident of the Screaming Inn is indeed extraordinary, not just an ordinary flesh monster.

Since we're the audience, we should try not to interfere and follow the instructions to the designated location."

"Alright."

Luo Di quite liked this kind of Halloween, so he immediately put on a mask, picked up Jason's baseball bat, put on work shoes, and his whole demeanor was instantly revealed.

Hua Yuan kept it simple; she let a second face split from her cheek, and that completed her disguise.

As for Wu Wen, she couldn't be bothered to make any changes. Her evaluation was already over, and she didn't want to move... So she untied her ponytail and covered her face with her hair.

Aside from the two strikingly white, fleshy legs being somewhat out of place, the overall look was quite frightening.

Opening the door,

A waft of a delightful aroma hit them, and Luo Di could now somewhat understand why the title "Delicious Pumpkin" was used.

Pumpkin was something Luo Di only generally liked, but the festive atmosphere here gave him an urgent desire to taste the pumpkins.

The three soon followed the street signs to the square area,

where a huge bronze pumpkin sculpture was placed in the center, surrounded by single person dining tables, with all the teachers and students who had been pulled in having their designated seats.

They could enjoy the pumpkin dishes and inspect the current evaluation situation at the same time.

Next to Luo Di happened to be Gust.

Gust had already found his seat, and a resident had already brought over prepared pumpkin food, with Gust busy appraising it.

"Senior, are you eating vegetarian?"

Gust, who was drinking pumpkin milk soup, furrowed his brows, "What are you implying? I like collecting and tasting tongues, but that doesn't mean I only eat tongues.

My tongue is top-notch in the world, able to taste the nuances of all kinds of delicacies.

Food is also an important facet of my life, make no mistake, I am definitely more professional than any gourmet food critic in the world.

However, I want to apologize for my previous impulse, these pumpkins are the best I've ever eaten, and the fact that they can make so many different kinds of pumpkin dishes is astonishing.

This person must stay, I say!

Is there no one in the school cafeteria? Isn't this the perfect dessert master?"

"Alright, alright~"

Luo Di had experienced Gust's sudden mood changes many times and made no further remarks.

During the chat, food was also brought to the table in front of Luo Di, where a resident delivered a plate of freshly fried pumpkin balls.

Luo Di was curious about just how delicious this thing was, to make Gust change moods so quickly, so he tried putting a pumpkin ball in his mouth.

Bite gently!

Crunch!

The moment the crispy shell broke, Luo Di's mind seemed to jump. He felt as if he had arrived at a pumpkin field bathed in twilight, and he himself had returned to his childhood, running freely in the fields.

"Delicious, truly delicious!"

It wasn't just Luo Di,

even Wu Wen and Hua Yuan seemed to be addicted, recalling some good memories of the past. These foods bore no side effects and were genuinely delicious.

However,

Luo Di quickly tore himself away from the deliciousness, wanting to look at the current evaluation situation. After all, during his entire walk to the square, he hadn't seen or heard anything related to the "evaluation."

He was also curious about how this "Delicious Pumpkin" would handle the purely monstrous creature.

Just as Luo Di had this thought,

residents began bringing carved pumpkin headgear one by one, which had already been dried and fit each person's head perfectly.

However, a small note was attached to the back of the headgear.

"Wearing it may affect your appetite."

Luo Di didn't mind at all; he could accept any kind of scene and decisively put on the pumpkin headgear.

The view instantly changed.

What was presented inside was the "battle" scene between the pumpkin and Wu Wen. After seeing this, Luo Di paused his eating movements.

There really was a field just outside of Pumpkin Town dedicated to pumpkin cultivation,

The reason why such delicious pumpkins could be grown here was that the residents revered this place as a "holy ground."

Those who violated the town's rules and attempted to go against the pumpkins would be forcibly sent here for punishment due to "violations."

Especially those with severe violations, such as massacring residents or destroying pumpkins, would have numerous violation tags attached to them, intensifying the punishment effects.

Song Huiwen was considered a "severe violator," with the world's current constraints already acting upon her entire body.

A wooden stake pierced through her head, pinning her in the pumpkin field.

Her pores all over her body were stretched open, and stalks of dry straw grew out.

Most importantly, Song Huiwen's discomforting monster-like head had already been capped with a huge pumpkin.

Residents who came here to pick pumpkins would carry dry pitchforks and poke at Song Huiwen's body vigorously, continuously, with more and more people gathering around.

Her flesh would be torn and pierced during this process,

More than blood, what seeped out from the wounds were stalks of straw.

Luo Di could tell that Song Huiwen had been completely restrained, her consciousness entirely trapped within the pumpkin head.

She couldn't make any movements of resistance, and the physical pain experienced was being amplified within her mind.

During this process, a unique fear of pumpkins continually accumulated.

"Is it related to 'violations'?

It's somewhat like Mr. Question Mark's game, where any violation in the game results in punishment... It's just that the violation here is somewhat mandatory.

After all, trying to uncover the pumpkin monster lurking in the shadows necessitates taking certain violent actions, like inspecting and destroying various pumpkins.

What's more, a being like Song Huiwen, who leans toward a monstrous nature, is completely suppressed by the pumpkins.

Once violated, the domain space punishes you.

The perfection of this domain is something that fields of the same level cannot compete against or break through.

No wonder during the prior melee, those monsters that disappeared along with the pumpkin heads all ended up in a mentally debilitated state afterward, decisively withdrawing.

Wait... what is this?"

Luo Di carefully observed the pumpkin field and suddenly noticed a terrifying detail.

The residents who were poking Song Huiwen with dry pitchforks,

Though they varied in age, stature, and build, a small part of them was exactly like "Pumpkin Fran."

Like the fingers, pupils, attire, or straw shoes, etc.

There's even the sense that if they were to wear the pumpkin on their heads, they would become Fran's main body.

Luo Di came to a terrifying conclusion:

"The residents here are all Fran, the pumpkins on the ground are also Fran, what Luo Di was eating is also Fran, and the statue in the town square is likewise Fran.

The entire town is Fran.

The reality of this place is because everything happening exists within Fran's perfect pumpkin head, inside the pumpkin flesh.

All of us are experiencing the flavor inside his brain."

Currently,

when the residents' pitchforks no longer drew blood from any part they poked,

they climbed up Song Huiwen's nearly five-meter-tall body and tore off all her skin, revealing a complete giant straw man.

Immediately following that,

a craftsman climbed up to the top to carve the pumpkin on Song Huiwen's head, crafting corresponding eyes, a mouth, and a nose.

When these hollows formed, it signified the straw man was fully crafted and could now guard this field, ensuring the pumpkins' safe growth.

As soon as all of this steadily concluded,

the straw man actually twitched,

the craftsman hurriedly clung to the pumpkin head to avoid falling and, by doing so, looked closely into the pumpkin's interior.

What appeared inside was not Song Huiwen's previous cracked-mouthed face.

But rather... an abyss.

Ka!

A headless corpse fell with a thud, staining the field red.

The craftsman elder tore away at it.

Also, due to the killing of residents, which further violated the rules, more and more pumpkin vines coiled over, but... a shrill, distant, primordial screeching sound echoed from within the pumpkin headgear.

It shattered the headgear,

revealing Song Huiwen's true appearance, a visage that when combined with manga, presented a direct and intuitive image.
