Wild Deer Convenience Store

Chapter 20 Midnight Finally Comes

Strange to say, both of them were mentally prepared that they might be chased all over the store by new monsters again, but after they carefully checked around, they found that there was nothing unusual in the store.

"Could it be that we can't see it, just like I couldn't see the woman at the table before," Willow suggested, "but actually, it's already here?"

"It's possible, so what should we do?" Ai Weili said, "The one next to the dining table, we can still avoid it. If there is a new ghost, we don't know where to avoid it."

If she was in this situation by herself, even if she wasn't desperate or afraid, Ai Weili would start to feel anxious and worried—how can she avoid the invisible danger?How can you not avoid it?

However, Willow shrugged his shoulders and put down the soy sauce bottle instead. "Ah, since there is no way to avoid it, forget it, you sit down, take a rest, take a rest."

"Rest?" Ai Weili stared at her.

Willow had already sat down cross-legged, at the door of the short corridor.Her attitude is natural, as if this is the only right way: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up, and when there is a problem, we will solve it. There is no problem now, so you need a fart."

"Why is there no problem, there is at least one invisible woman sitting at the dining table!"

Ai Weili was protesting, but her body sat down involuntarily—it was already past eleven o'clock, and she had experienced more than six hours of fear, adventure, escape and struggle, and she was exhausted physically and mentally. , She has never felt so tired in her life.

"Really, did she do anything to us?" Wei Luo spread his hands and said frankly: "If these invisible ghosts could sneak up and kill us, then we would be dead by now. We still Well, it means that they can't do anything to us, well, maybe they have to show up before they can attack us, eh, it's so inconvenient to be a ghost, and the professional level is too poor."

"You don't want to encourage them to be better ghosts here, okay?" After a few words, Ai Weili unknowingly relaxed, as if the fact that he might be in the same room with ghosts had really changed. It's not so scary anymore.She looked at Wei Luo, and without knowing why, she blurted out a sentence: "I envy you very much."

"Huh?" Wei Luo just took out a bag of peanuts that must have been taken from the store from his pocket, and was taken aback for a moment. "Why?"

"I'm very envious that you can always be so relaxed and natural." Ai Weili looked at his fingernails and said, "From childhood to adulthood, no matter where I go, I always feel that I am out of place and out of place. My parents, brother, and I are like creatures in two worlds. It seems too gross to say that no one in the world understands me, and there is nothing special about me, but I do feel that it is necessary to live in this world harmoniously. Humans can’t see someone who is so out of place like me. So I don’t have any friends, even if I come to Wild Deer Town alone and fall down, I don’t know who to talk to.”

"I don't have any friends either." Willow said this sentence so easily and naturally - as if he didn't feel ashamed at all for having no friends.

"How is it possible?" Ai Weili laughed, "You are such a generous and outgoing person, you definitely have many friends."

"No, really not." Wei Luo said quite seriously, "The more people I know, the fewer people I can be friends with. If it's the kind of friends who can only go shopping, eat and buy clothes together, Why do I want to come here? I can go shopping, eat and buy clothes by myself. So if I say 'out of place', I will often feel this way. Let me tell you, all you need is someone who is also 'out of place' ' can find a place in the world."

Ai Weili didn't make a sound for a while.She doesn't say a word now, not because of the "speechless" she used to feel, but as if because she doesn't have to.

"I have teammates when I play games, and I also have colleagues who get along well at work, and old classmates will meet occasionally." Wei Luo raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and said softly, "But I don't know, maybe I asked too much. High, I think 'friend' is a different thing. It's a kind of thing. When you are in love, don't you always say 'soul mate'? I think a real 'friend' should be a kind of 'soul mate'. It's the friendly version of it."

Ai Weili laughed. "I want to have a friend like that too, but it's too difficult!"

Wei Luo also laughed and said, "I've even bumped into a ghost, so the 'soul friend' shouldn't be far away, right?"

"It's not far, it's not far, there's a winning lottery behind 'Soul Friend'" Ai Weili said with a smile, and was kicked by Wei Luo.

She is tired and hungry now, sitting curled up on the cold and dirty floor, not far behind is a bathroom; in this old and shabby convenience store, some inexplicable ghost is secretly Waiting for an opportunity, trying to make her see the sun again - but in such a bad situation, for the first time, at least the first time in recent years, Ai Weili was finally able to spit out long words from the depths of his soul. With a sigh of relief, he slowly let go of himself.

Before tonight, she didn't even know that she was in a tense state.

"Here, eat the peanuts," Willow said, handing over the bag.

"When did you get it from the store?" Ai Weili muttered, took out a handful, and put it into her burning stomach.

"I just took a bag of peanuts, it's been very ethical, I could eat the whole store now."

"Did you know that animals don't have appetite when they're afraid," Ai Weili said vaguely from his mouth full of peanuts, "We both eat peanuts so deliciously, which means we're not afraid anymore. "

"Those ghosts have tried so many methods, but they can't do anything to us. We don't need to be afraid."

As Wei Luo said, he raised his hand and counted one finger at a time: "First, it was the voice in the apartment, then the 'questionnaire', and the paper man it brought out. I lived through the back door When it came down, the paper figurines were burned by us again, so those ghost things changed their plans, and the 'dark area' began to appear. These methods failed, and you see, how peaceful the store is now."

"I hope they're not thinking about the next step," Ai Weili whispered.

Wei Luo turned his head and shouted into the store: "You guys think about it for a while, we are not in a hurry!"

The more nervous and depressed for a long time, the more people will laugh uncontrollably.The two of them were like little girls who went out on an outing, chatted in the middle of the night and didn't sleep. They giggled together for a long time, and they didn't know what was funny; the nerves that had been tense for so long just now suddenly had a chance to relax, release Out of all the backlog of emotions - Wei Luo even jumped up, sucked his stomach flat, and kept saying "beautiful lady, who do you think I am?", making Ai Weili laugh so hard that he collapsed on the ground.

They were having fun, and time passed so quickly that when the bell at the gate rang, Ai Weili thought it was a visitor—they jumped up. , I was a little at a loss for a while.

However, the person standing at the door was Ah Pan.

Apan's small eyes, which looked like blowholes, widened at this moment.

His eyes swept over the messy, withered, and war-torn store little by little. His face was white and red, and blood spots from burst blood vessels could almost be seen on his skin; finally, his eyes fixed on On Ai Weili.

"What are you doing?" He finally let out a roar, "What are you doing, what's going on in the store? Are you crazy?"

How did he get in?
Ai Weili didn't have time to pay attention to A Pan, and first glanced behind him-then he couldn't help being surprised.

At some point, the thick darkness outside the glass window disappeared.

Although it was dark outside the store at this time, it was the normal darkness on the road in the middle of the night.The street lamps cast halos of light on the sidewalk; occasionally a car passed by on the road, and the taillights pulled out red shadows; the opposite side of a barbecue restaurant that only opened at night was brightly lit. A table of guests who were eating supper and drinking beer did not know what their friend said. A girl with a ponytail raised her head back and laughed loudly.

The convenience store was unknowingly brought back into the normal world, but they didn't realize it until now.

"Why are you here?" Ai Weili said, looking at the clock on the wall - it turned out that it was already eleven fifty.

"You have the guts to ask me why I'm here!" Apan's anger suddenly rose to another level, "You called me before and talked nonsense, it seemed like you were on drugs, I was worried, and I told Little T that today In the evening, I changed shifts with her, and it turned out that you demolished the whole store for me! Fortunately, I came, otherwise, would you want to pack up and run away?"

"Hey, it's almost there," Willow interjected, frowning. "Don't you have any respect when you talk to others?"

Apan's bloodshot eyes turned to her immediately with anger.

"Who are you! I'm teaching the staff, what does it have to do with you? Or are you also responsible for the way the store has turned into this?"

Wei Luo jumped up in anger, took a step forward, and was about to speak, but Ai Weili pressed his arm.

"Since we want to discuss responsibilities," she looked at A Pan and said coldly, "You might as well talk about it, and lie to me that a foreigner will take over for you at the most dangerous time. What responsibility should you bear?"

A Pan, who had just walked to the shelf to check the products, froze immediately when he heard the words, but he didn't look up, his eyes just hung on the shelf, and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you mentally abnormal? What was the most dangerous time you thought you were working in Afghanistan?"

"You know very well in your heart—" Ai Weili had just begun to speak, but was interrupted by A Pan.

"Wow, so many things are missing, don't tell me it's all sold out, I'll check the register right away." He walked down the shelf and said, "Let me tell you, these missing and damaged ones, you Compensation is required for everything! I think your monthly salary is not enough to compensate, so I dare not continue to hire you. If you pay for the compensation, leave me immediately, and don’t let me call the police and arrest you.”

"I'm also from Wild Deer Town, do you really think you can play dumb?" Wei Luo couldn't help asking. "You are sending people to death, do you know that?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Apan walked out from behind the shelf and looked at them, his face drawn long and expressionless. "I only recognize one point and lose money, otherwise I will call the police."

His eyes fell on Wei Luo, as if he was very disgusted, and said: "What's the matter with you, if you make the store like this, you are also responsible, you can go home and get the money for me, if it has nothing to do with you, you Just go quickly, I still have to settle accounts with her and count things, I don't have time to argue with you here."

Seeing that Wei Luo seemed about to pick up the things at hand and hit him, Ai Weili quickly pulled her clothes twice, and said in a low voice: "You were involved only because you wanted to save me. It really shouldn't be your responsibility."

Although it was Apan's fault in the first place, he put himself in danger and ignored it, but the excuse of "he used me as a scapegoat" would not pass the police.

Even if they have successfully survived so many strange events, the real world is another kind of crushing force with nowhere to escape-for all kinds of strangeness, they may be able to defeat and escape, but they can only deal with reality. bow your head.

After all, this is a turbulent, indifferent, and rough world, and Ai Weili is almost used to it.

"Do you have any money to pay?" Wei Luo spoke bluntly, without any euphemism: "You work as a clerk in a convenience store in an unknown town, and you've only been there for a few days. What are you bragging about?"

It is true that Ai Weili has no money, but she bites the bullet and refuses to let go. "You don't care about that"

"Shut up and stand aside," Wei Luo lost his patience, walked up to Apan, stared at him and asked, "I'll transfer the purchase price to you."

"Are you kidding, no," Apan rebuffed straight away: "How do I explain? How do I enter the account? The retail price, cash, and credit card are not acceptable. I don't want to take responsibility for you. If these are sold, I will Don't call the police."

Ai Weili wanted to pick up the phone and hit him.

"Understood," Wei Luo agreed, "You wait for me here, and I will get the card to withdraw money when I go home."

"What if you don't come back?" Pan squinted at her, "How do I know you won't just walk away?"

"Then you should call the police!" Ai Weili couldn't bear to intervene, and immediately said, "Don't wait for her to get the money back, you can call the police now, and I will do everything by myself."

Willow glared at her. "You're going to go to jail for something like [-] yuan? Are you stupid? Do you know how to settle accounts? Didn't I tell you to shut up and go aside?"

After thinking about it, she took out her mobile phone, and after confirming that it was locked, she threw it to Apan.

"With this, I will definitely come back," Wei Luo dropped a sentence angrily, and he was already walking towards the door of the store: "Ai Weili, when he is counting things, watch carefully for me. He looks like a man who is very good at pocketing his own money, and I don't trust him."

With a "bang", the glass door closed behind her, and there were only two people left in the convenience store.
