The Beginning of the Troubles Chapter 14: The Uninvited Guest
It's late at night.
The lights of thousands of homes are extinguished.
White Night yawned, a little bored.
Looking up at the window, although the rain has stopped for a while, the dark clouds have not dispersed for a long time.
After a while, the moon emerged from the side of the dark clouds, shedding a patch of moonlight.
It was reflected on the sunglasses.
Bai Ye didn't know what he was thinking, and he was stupid for a while.
"Hey. ”
I don't know why, I don't know for whom to sigh.
The area of this dark cloud covered too wide, and it didn't take long for it to obscure the moonlight again.
It turned out that the night, which was still a little bright, fell into a dead silence again.
Bite!
Someone's coming.
Two people, to be exact.
One was a middle-aged man, somewhat tall, wearing a wide jacket, dark skin, and a beggar's hat on his head.
The other was a young man, with fair skin and an earring resembling an animal on his ear.
It feels a little strange, and I always feel that his facial features are a little discordant, but I can't tell what the problem is.
Bai Ye didn't expect that someone would come to the convenience store at such a late hour.
What time is it?
When I looked up, the position of the pointer fell on twelve.
The pendulum clock made a jingle, jingle and chime chime.
"Welcome!"
The young man glanced at the white night with a meaningful smile on his face.
The middle-aged man on the side walked into the convenience store as if he hadn't heard it at all.
Meow!
Xiao Bai, who had been lying quietly on the high stand on the side of the cash register, suddenly stood up.
Hair all over the body.
The little blood-red eyes stared at the young man.
"Xiaobai?"
Bai Ye reached out and hugged Xiaobai, caressing its fur before it calmed down again.
"Is this your cat?"
The voice is a little feminine, and I always feel like I've heard it somewhere.
"Yes, I'm sorry, it's more scared, but it's not malicious. ”
The young man waved his hand and said with a smile.
"It's okay, I don't know why, it seems that I have never been treated by small animals, but your cat is so good-looking, such snow-white hair, I have never seen it, and there is a red mark on the forehead, what breed of cat is this?"
The young man seemed to like Xiaobai very much, and kept staring, his eyes full of interest.
"I don't know exactly what breed it is, but it's probably not a particularly expensive cat. ”
Syllable!
Hearing this, Xiao Bai's little tail was directly flung on the back of Bai Ye's hand.
"Hahaha, it doesn't look like it's happy. ”
"It's always been like that. ”
The young man nodded, even more interested.
"What do you call it?"
"White night, white by day, night by night. ”
"Oh, day and night, your name is so interesting, it's like mine and it's earthy and unlucky. ”
The young man seemed to be very dissatisfied with his name, and had no intention of even reporting his home.
"My family lives near here, and I stayed elsewhere a few years ago when I had something, and I also came to this convenience store at that time, so I don't seem to have seen you?
"Well, I also came to L City from elsewhere, and I didn't know the place well at first, but fortunately, I met a few good friends later. ”
The young man smiled.
"Yes, I'm away from home, with multiple friends and multiple roads, and I've talked to you so much that I forgot that I was going to buy something. ”
After saying that, after a few pleasantries, I began to browse along the aisle of the convenience store.
White Night wears sunglasses, just a smile.
Xiaobai's eyes never left the figure of the young man from beginning to end.
Another middle-aged man stood in front of the freezer as soon as he entered the door, never moving.
I don't know what I'm looking for.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The young man wandered from side to side.
Pick up this and look at it for a while, pick it up and look at it for a while.
But I never chose what I wanted to buy.
The expression on his face was sometimes surprised, sometimes frowned.
Finally, he sighed and returned to the cash register.
Bai Ye looked at the empty-handed young man and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
The young man said helplessly, "You have too few goods here. ”
This topic was talked about not so long ago.
White Night agreed.
"This was also said by a customer last time, he wanted Tianhu's beer, but he didn't. I proposed to the boss that it would be added to the list next time, what product do you want, you can tell me, and I will propose it to the boss. ”
"Really?"
The young man was a little happy, but after thinking about it, he became depressed.
"Actually, I can't blame your boss, this thing I want is relatively rare and rare, and I haven't found it for years. ”
"Well, that might be a bit harder to stock. ”
Bai Ye scratched his head, such a scarce thing, that lazy boss shouldn't be able to buy it.
"However, I didn't expect to be able to find it now! Last time I took a quick look, I thought I was wrong, but fortunately I came to confirm it again today!"
The youth was overwhelmed by the excitement.
"But didn't you just find it?
Syllable!
The young man propped his hands on the cash register, staring at the white night, no more than an arm's length between his faces.
"I haven't been bought, and others can't take what I fancy away!"
I don't know if it's an illusion, the young man's facial features look a little distorted.
Meow!
Xiaobai broke free of Bai Ye's hands.
He showed the sharp teeth in his mouth and stared at the young man in front of him.
didn't care about this, Bai Ye smiled and asked calmly: "What are the goods you want, if they are still there, I can find them for you." ”
"What I want is simple. ”
"Your-eye-eye!"
Smack...
Smack...
Smack...
The lights at the convenience store flickered and flickered.
At this time, when it was bright and sometimes dark, the young man's face was a little terrifyingly deformed.
And in that dimly lit corner, the middle-aged man in front of the freezer turned his head to look at this side at some point.
Every time the convenience store went dark, his eyes glowed with a terrifying red light.
Smack!
The convenience store is completely dark in the end.
"Truly!"
A poignant laugh came from the young man's mouth, through the faint light outside the convenience store.
Vaguely see his face cracked open like a mirror, mouth, eye sockets, ears, nose.
These places seem to have become separate entities.
"Your eyes, your eyes belong to me, take off your sunglasses and let me see my eyes!"
"I still don't want to, I didn't sleep well last night, and my eyes are full of dark circles, which is scary. ”
"That's not up to you!"
With a clapping of his hands, the middle-aged man moved.
The distance between the freezer and the cash register is as if it didn't exist.
The right hand, which had been hidden under the jacket before, reached out and grabbed Bai Ye's sunglasses.
At this time, Bai Ye found that the middle-aged man's right hand was full of traces of needlework and sewing, and it also emitted a foul smell like a corpse.
Head back.
Dodged the swift catch.
But there was no peace, and there was another wave.
From the middle-aged man's right hand, a terrifying suction force came, and the skin on Bai Ye's face felt a little pulled.
It stands to reason that with this powerful suction, the sunglasses hanging on the ears should be easily pulled.
However, the sunglasses hung on Bai Ye's face, and they didn't move.
"Huh?"
The young man let out a hint of doubt.
snapped his fingers.
The middle-aged man received the message and quickly withdrew the pinch mark with both hands.
A hurricane blew off in the closed convenience store, blowing the shelves to pieces.
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man's hands changed seventeen.
At this moment, a white shadow struck instantly, and the sharp claws imprinted a cold light.
The pinching seal was interrupted at the last minute, and the hurricane in the convenience store stopped.
Xiao Bai fluttered down on the silver table, his little face raised, and a smug expression appeared on his face.
"Your cat is really not ordinary, is it a spirit servant?"
"It's a pity, it's a pity, to be able to exist in this world for a long time, it shouldn't be a high-level existence, so..."
"Snake Entanglement!"
As soon as the words fell, countless snakes composed of blue light tied up the white night tightly.
The sound of crackling and bones being tightened was endless.
Meow!
Xiao Bai was startled, stretched out his cat's claws and wanted to cut the snake composed of blue light, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cut it.
The middle-aged man hugged a bear, and Xiaobai was caught in his arms, and he couldn't break free no matter how he struggled.
"In the end, it's just a low-level spirit servant, and that's the only ability. ”
Bai Ye became expressionless at this moment, and looked down at the glass table of the cash register.
There were two handprints on it, glowing blue, and it was from where the green snake came out.
It turned out that from the moment he propped his hands on the counter, the young man had already started to prepare, and his mind was so meticulous!
"Hey, I've found out, but it's too late. ”
The young man slowly walked towards the white night and continued.
"I was really curious about what kind of eyes were under the sunglasses, and I convulsed with excitement at the thought that it was about to become mine. ”
Touching his distorted face, he seemed to be immersed in his own world.
"Oh, don't think that if you put a seal on your sunglasses, I can't help it, don't look at me like this, I'm still very good at sealing. ”
The young man reached out his hands, and his nails grew in a matter of moments.
But when the nails were about to touch the sunglasses, the sunglasses were surrounded by imprints of different sizes.
"It's a bit of a waste, but it's worth it!"
At the moment when the youth wanted to do it.
A joking voice came from outside the convenience store.
"Hahaha, Bai Ye, I can't think of it, I'm here to check the post!"
