Chapter 001: Charm under the black trench coat
It's Valentine's Day again, and Joe Kath is smiling at the long-haired girl in front of her, holding a bouquet of daffodils in her hand, and her eyes are full of anticipation, hoping that she won't be rejected.
The girl hesitated, but finally accepted Jocath's flowers.
"Welcome next time!" Bowing to the girl, Qiao Kaisi turned his head to look at the person waiting to pay the bill behind the girl, and still roared with a smile on his face: "Please come here to pay, if you spend ninety-nine yuan, you will get a bouquet of daffodils!" ”
Xilin convenience store is full of various promotional cards because of Valentine's Day, and the discounted goods and flowers for free have naturally attracted many grassroots men to spend here. After all, on this day, the usual bouquet of daffodils for 90 yuan was sold for 188 yuan in the flower shop, and although it was 9 yuan more expensive here, it also bought a lot of useful ones, which can be regarded as earning.
Of course, even if he doesn't have to guide customers to spend, he is too busy to deal with it.
This busy, in the blink of an eye, time passed like a white horse, from noon to late at night.
"Welcome to your next visit." Standing in front of the store to see off the last customer, it is also the time when the convenience store can close. Because it is located in an office building, the convenience store is not set up to 24 hours a day, and it will no longer sell anything after 11 o'clock.
On tiptoe, he raised his hand to pull down the roller shutter door, the sound of clattering cloaking the footsteps approaching Jokays.
"Who!" Jokayth jerked his head back, but he didn't see anyone.
But he didn't feel creepy, but his feelings gradually lowered, and he sat down on the stairs in front of the door, looking at the blind sidewalk in front of him stupidly.
The night breeze was blowing, blowing Jokays's dull hair.
The shadow of a woman came slowly from a distance, and listening to the footsteps, Jokaith turned his head to look at the woman.
"Dongyang ......," a smile appeared on Joe Kath's face because of the name.
However, when the words fell, when the woman appeared under the street lamp from the shadows, Jokaith realized that he had recognized the wrong person, and couldn't help but withdraw his head in despair, burying his head deep between his arms.
The woman's footsteps creaked towards Jokaeth, and finally stopped in front of Jokath.
Qiao Kaisi didn't know why the woman stopped in front of him, he didn't even raise his head, he just responded to the woman in an extremely low and depressed voice: "I'm sorry, it's closed today, please come back tomorrow." ”
The woman didn't speak, and the air seemed to cool down with the atmosphere, although it was a summer night, but Jokath suddenly felt that the night wind was full of biting coldness.
And this cold disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the sound of the engine whistling on the opposite street also came to an abrupt end.
Qiao Kaisi looked up suddenly, and he was dumbfounded by the sight in front of him: the leaves blown by the night wind hovered in mid-air, the afterglow of the car taillights also suspended above the street, and the water droplets from the air conditioner next to him landed right on the floor tiles, splashing a beautiful and clear flower.
However, the woman was not frozen, even if the trench coat hat and hair covered her face, making her look like a dark shadow, but it could not hide the sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Taking a step towards Jokath, the woman's right hand suddenly reached into the satchel hanging from her left forearm.
Jokath didn't know what was going on, but he believed that the uneasiness in his heart must be real, and this uneasy fear made him stand up sharply, leaning against the roller shutter door, his eyes wide as he looked at the woman in front of him.
The woman also looked up as Joe Kath got up.
Her hair slid down her cheeks like a peeling beaded curtain, but in the dim light it was not a beautiful face, but a skeleton.
"Ahh Jokath closed his eyes and screamed because he had hit the ghost, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the skeleton was gone, and the woman was gone, leaving only a white envelope suspended in mid-air with no contents.
"Take it~" A woman's voice suddenly poured into Joe Kath's ears.
The voice was hollow and numb, like the prayer of a judge from hell before the execution, and it was irresistible.
Joe Kath looked at the envelope with dilated pupils, his left foot walked towards the envelope completely unbelievably untold by himself, and his left hand was also raised into a grip to point at the envelope.
"What's wrong with me?!" Jocath asked himself, but he found that he could not hear any echo, as if he could feel the sound stuck in his throat and not bursting out of his mouth.
The fear in his heart made Jokath try to raise his right hand, wanting to press it down. However, he found that he could not control his feet at all, and even if his right hand was on his left wrist, he could not exert his strength.
In this way, Jokath came to the envelope step by step and took it down from the air.
As the envelope moved, the whole time and space returned to its normal appearance, the leaves continued to fall, the afterimage of the car tail lights disappeared, and the water splashed away.
Qiao Kaisi looked around incredulously, and he realized that this qiē was so dreamy, yet so real.
And at this moment, the fear in his heart disappeared a little, and it was replaced by a sense of curiosity. Without any sound, he quickly turned his back on the envelope, wanting to open it and see what was going on.
But when he looked at the envelope sealed with a red rose stamp, he was stunned again.
"Roses? There are no roses in this world anymore, only daffodils. Qiao Kaisi smiled coldly and took off the seal, but he didn't throw it away directly and held it in the palm of his hand.
Opening the envelope, Jokath found nothing in the envelope.
"Damn, who's playing a prank? Isn't it fun? Feeling teased, Jocais roared into the night, and was so angry that he crumpled the envelope and smashed it towards the dumpster not far away.
The paper ball hit the skin of the dumpster and fell into the green belt on the side of the road, but Jokaith ignored it, just looked down and sighed.
After just a blink of an eye, he found that his palms were empty, and something seemed to be missing.
He tried to remember, but it was as if nothing had happened.
Joe Kaith looked back at the door of the store, only to find that the light tube in the signboard had not been extinguished, so he couldn't help but be shocked and quickly opened the roller shutter door and rushed into the store. The shop was brightly lit, but there was no one in it, and an eerie atmosphere spread around every corner.
"What...... Circumstance? Joe Keith clearly remembered that he had turned off the lights, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in fright.
He unconsciously looked up at the clock hanging behind the cash register, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ten...... Ten o'clock! Qiao Kaisi went crazy, he didn't expect that he remembered the wrong time in a trance, and closed an hour early, if he was known by the femme fatale-like beautiful boss, not to mention the year-end bonus, the salary would probably be a lot less.
The bad luck of losing his fiancée seems to be like a parasite, relying on Joe Kath.
And this qiē, he began to resent the gentleman named Ma Bowen, if he hadn't forcibly snatched Dongyang, Qiao Kaisi believed that he should be like those happy couples at the moment, torturing the white and warm bed sheets in some hotel.
"This qiē ~ this qiē! It shouldn't be like this! The contrast of reality made Joe Kaith roar.
The sound wave instantly shattered the incandescent lamp above Qiao Kaisi's head, and the monitor not far away also flashed a spark, and the plastic steamer used to keep the steamed buns warm also cracked.
The packaging bag of puffed food is also along with the roar, boom! Boom! The colorful potato chips that exploded and flew up like blooming fireworks, seemed to praise Jokays's roar.
"Want to get your fiancée back?" The ethereal, eerie voice sounded behind Jokath again.
Jokaith jerked around, and in the shattered convenience store, a black cloak floated in the air, but he didn't hold a large scythe in his right hand. And in the cloak, there is a beautiful face, the fair skin is inlaid with two eyes as dazzling as diamonds, under the high bridge of the nose is a pair of closed rouge thin lips, and the pointed chin holds this beautiful part, but there is no part below.
"Dongyang!"
This beautiful face is the appearance of Qiao Kaisi's fiancée, the woman who was kidnapped by Ma Bowen.
However, what appeared in front of Qiao Kaisi's eyes now was not Dong Yang, but the Dark Spirit Messenger, which only had insight into the appearance of Dong Yang that Qiao Kaisi admired in his heart, and then disguised Dong Yang's appearance and appeared in front of Qiao Kaisi's eyes. That way, it doesn't scare Joe Kath.
But it was wrong, and Joe Kath picked up the money detector on the counter and slammed it into the beautiful face.
The dark spirit messenger was startled, and quickly dodged before he dodged. But when it came to its senses, it couldn't help but ask itself: "I don't have a physical body, why should I hide?" It was a bit surprising to think about it, but it decided to ignore this detail, and couldn't help but go to Dongyang, revealing its true face - a skeletal face said to Joe Kath: "How can I make a deal with you when I am so anxious?" It's better to settle down. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the Dark Spirit Emissary pointed at Jokath with his right hand and pinned Jokath to the counter.
"Such a chaotic occasion is really not suitable for negotiation." As he spoke, he raised his left hand again and restored the dilapidated convenience store.
Qiao Kaisi looked at the qi in front of him in surprise, and when the qi qi was restored, he asked the floating black trench coat in front of him viciously: "Hey, lady in the trench coat, what are you going to do!" ”
"Lady in a trench coat!" The Dark Emissary looked at Jokath in some surprise, this was the first time someone had called it that, which made him a little overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh.
It's just that the smile suddenly froze, and the dark spirit messenger couldn't help but say to himself, "No, my laughter shouldn't be so low." ”
With another dry cough, the Dark Spirit Emissary got to the point, and after making a seal in front of him with both hands, he conjured up a golden box.
"Do you know what this thing is?"
"The golden box." Jokath suddenly felt that the cloak in front of him was a bit of a head show funny, and he couldn't help but look at it with a black line and the golden box that came out.
As a result, the Dark Emissary pointed at Jokath with the index finger of his right hand and slammed the golden box into Jokath's heart.
It should have been used more forcefully, and it was directly smashed into a mouthful of blood by Qiao Kaisi.
"Oh mama! The strength is too much. ”
"Your sister, dare to love you or Northeast Silver!" Qiao Kaisi felt as if he was being teased, and he couldn't help but be a little angry, but he really felt that he was bound by something intangible, and he couldn't move at all.
In order to break free from this restraint, Jokays's body began to writhe.
After a while, the Dark Emissary suddenly lowered his head, his hands on his chest, and his two index fingers kept circling around him, like a shy girl.
Seeing this, Qiao Kaisi immediately stopped and asked the Dark Spirit Emissary, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"That...... When you and Dong Yang were there, did you move so much? ”
"Uh...... What does this have to do with you?! Qiao Caith couldn't understand the thinking of the object in front of him at all, and couldn't help but look at the dark spirit messenger helplessly.
The dark spirit messenger was also taken aback by Qiao Kaisi's question, and quickly turned to the side, coughed dryly, and then turned around, and became serious towards Qiao Kaisi, and raised the golden box that fell on the ground again.
"Damn, you're not going to smash me and get addicted!" Looking at the golden box, Jokath roared at the Dark Emissary.
However, instead of smashing into Jokath, the golden box suddenly opened, and golden bridge cards splattered out from it like fireworks, fanning out directly above the Dark Emissary.
Joe Kath looked at the bridge array in front of him, looking confused.
The Dark Spirit Emissary smiled coldly and asked, "If you want to take back your fiancée, please make a contract with me, collect this deck of bridges, and you can ask me for any item, including life!" ”
