Chapter 11: The Man Behind the Door
What's going on, didn't you say there was no one in the supermarket? Marsher's voice was low and tense.
"Not really. Who knows where the came from......" Luzer cursed in a low voice.
At this time, the three of them each held a kitchen knife in their hands, starting with Lu Ze, while Lin Sanjiu and Marcel were on guard on both sides, slowly approaching in the direction where the impact sound was made just now.
The kitchen knife was still found from the cooked food area by Lin Sanjiu's wit just now. It's probably usually used to cut the lo-mei, and it won't be too sharp - even if it is rubbed, there is still a faint smell of rancid lo-mei. But anyway, with the knife, the three of them still have much more confidence.
"Bang", there was another muffled sound, shaking the air.
At this moment, the three of them immediately recognized the exact direction, and at the same time walked briskly towards the right front - "Here!" Marsher gestured with his hand.
Not far away, in the dim candlelight, a door with a sign "for employees" stood quietly.
The three of them glanced at each other, Lin Sanjiu nodded and spoke. - No matter who is inside, the voice of a young woman will always make the other person relax a little guard: "Who's in there?" Come out now! ”
There was silence in the air for a few seconds.
After waiting for a while, just as Lin Sanjiu was about to ask again impatiently, a loud sobbing suddenly sounded from behind the door. Immediately, a clear voice asked timidly, "...... Who are you? ”
The three of them looked at each other in some surprise, breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered the kitchen knife in their hand. Not only was the owner of the voice clearly a girl, but it was also full of thick childlike voices—it sounded like the person behind the door would never be more than fourteen years old.
“…… Little sister? How old are you? We're not bad people......" Lin Sanjiu asked cautiously: "Are you alone behind the door?" ”
The little girl said with a crying voice, "I'm eleven years old." ”
At this moment, the kitchen knives in the hands of the three people were put down. Marser even covered her knife with the towel on the shelf next to her, as if she was afraid of scaring the little girl, and asked softly, "Why are you here alone?" What about your parents? ”
The little girl's cry became much heavier: "I, my ...... Dad works here and he brought me over last night...... Then a lot of people rushed in and grabbed things, and my dad locked me up here and told me not to go out......"
A look of unbearability flashed on the faces of several people. Needless to say, the little girl's father must have turned into a corpse - maybe one of the corpses they moved out.
"Little sister, what's your name? Why don't you open the door first? Marser knocked softly at the door.
"My name is Wang Sisi. Dad said he wasn't allowed to open the door when he came back......" The little girl sobbed again, "but he hasn't come back yet......"
Several people couldn't help but be moved. For such a young child, I don't know how to survive the night...... Lu Ze whispered to Lin Sanjiu: "You can also say something, comfort and comfort her." ”
Lin Sanjiu suddenly looked very embarrassed. Seeing that Marser was also talking towards the door, and at the same time showed her an encouraging look, she had no choice but to cough and stubbornly say, "Wang Sisi, you are stronger!" ”
As soon as the words came out, the other two immediately looked at her like monsters.
Lin Sanjiu glanced at the other two helplessly, saying that he was powerless - don't look at her as a girl, she was raised like a boy since she was a child, and she has no way to deal with children. What's more, this child is frightened, and it is a time of vulnerability - it would be nice to let her comfort her, and not to cause psychological shadows.
Wang Sisi was smashed by her hard words, and immediately muttered silently.
Marser glanced at Lin Sanjiu, lowered his voice and said to the two, "This kid has probably evolved the ability to adapt to high temperatures...... It's not a problem to keep it inside. She then raised her voice and said, "Sisi, your father didn't let you come out because it wasn't safe outside at that time." Now that it's safe outside, you come out, let's wait for Dad together, okay? ”
Wang Sisi behind the door seemed to be very hesitant, snorted twice, and couldn't make up his mind.
At this time, Martha, who was overflowing with mother's love, heard her humming, and her heart melted, and she hurriedly walked to the door and continued to whisper: "...... You've been here since last night, you must be hungry, right? Auntie has a lot of food here, what do you like to eat? ”
"Well, I'm so hungry...... I love to eat my mother's fish ......," Wang Sisi said timidly. "And chocolate bars......"
Marser had a suspicious glint in her eyes, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said in a loud voice, "Okay, let's open the door, and Auntie will take you to eat, okay?" ”
Seeing that she handled the situation quite well by herself, the two idlers behind her bit their ears with a cooing.
Luzer whispered: "Marser has always said that she was married once before, but the two eventually divorced because they didn't want to have children......"
No wonder! Lin Sanjiu was a little dizzy when he heard it: It seems that the differentiated personality does have its own complete experience......
Just when the two were chatting, Wang Sisi finally agreed to come out under the persuasion of Marcer.
"Auntie, I'll go out ......," Wang Sisi responded timidly. Then I heard the lock behind the door "click" and the doorknob turned.
But the door did not move.
"Huh?" Marser looked down in surprise and asked through the crack in the door, "Sisi, did your father lock the door from the outside before leaving?" ”
The little girl's voice immediately panicked: "Okay, it seems to be, I don't remember!" ”
At this moment, several people frowned. Because this supermarket mainly caters to high-end customers, it is very particular about the materials used in every inch of the room, and even the door of the staff room is very heavy. Looking at the keyhole, Marser shouted unwillingly, "Sisi, you go out, Auntie is going to kick the door", and the other two didn't have time to stop it, she had already kicked it up heavily-
Mather gasped and sat down on the ground with her feet folded - the door didn't even shake.
"What should I do?" For the first time, she looked at the two men helplessly.
Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth, but closed it again. She might be able to close the door—if it didn't count. But that means she only has one chance to transform today, and now, it's just half past seven in the morning...... Besides, whether she still has a chance today is still uncertain...... Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a while, but still didn't say anything after all.
After all, there are other ways to open the door, and this opportunity - if there is still - may be best for everyone to stay.
"When we moved people before, we saw a few employees of this supermarket, still wearing uniforms." Lu Ze thought about it, and spoke first--let Lin Sanjiu secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the guilt in his heart was reduced a lot--Lu Ze glanced in the direction of the door, hinting at the two of them: "Maybe the person with the key is lying there......"
That's right - Wang Sisi's father locked the door, so he must have the key. His daughter was in the supermarket, and she must not have run far, so she must have died in the supermarket, and was carried upstairs by several people.
Thinking like this, the three of them suddenly came to their senses again and discussed a few words.
Because it was already bright outside, the temperature must have been even more terrifying, so Lin Sanjiu, the only one of the three who had not been physically strong, was left behind and guarded the door of the staff room. Marser looked very uneasy, and before leaving, he instructed: "Don't say what you shouldn't say, don't scare the child!" ”
Lin Sanjiu nodded with embarrassment.
As soon as the two left, the supermarket immediately fell into silence again. Wang Sisi also seemed to know that on the other side of the door, only the hard-erected "strong sister" was left, so he didn't say anything except for the occasional sob.
Lin Sanjiu sat bored on the ground, tossing and turning around with the kitchen knife in his hand.
Speaking of which, now that Luzer and Marser are gone, now is the best time to test today's last chance. But she couldn't make up her mind: she really had nothing to put away except for a kitchen knife that smelled faintly in her hand—and if she wasted one last chance, she would really want to cry.
I don't know how long she hesitated, but she heard footsteps from the elevator at the door - Lin Sanjiu stood up and saw that it was Lu Ze and Marcel.
"So fast?" She asked, confused.
Lu Ze showed two rabbit teeth at her, and said with a smile: "We are lucky, the first woman we found was the manager of this supermarket." I found a bunch of keys from her pocket......" As she spoke, she held up the jingling string in her hand and showed it to Lin Sanjiu. "Thanks to this manager who put a note on the key, it's convenient for us."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes rolled towards the door: "Wang ...... What about her dad? Didn't you ......" she lowered her voice, "found on her father's body?" ”
"Ahem, I just have the key, I didn't find it...... Who's not a bad thing. Luzer grinned and handed the key to Mather.
"Sisi, Auntie is back, I'll open the door for you—" Marser said as she crouched down.
At the moment when the key in her hand was inserted into the lock hole, Lin Sanjiu's heart suddenly jumped suddenly-before she realized what she was doing, a white light had flashed in her palm, and the kitchen knife just now turned into a card, which was firmly held in her hand.
Lin Sanjiu looked at the card in his hand with some surprise, and didn't have time to regret his impulse, only to hear the metal collision sound of the key unlocking at the door of the staff room, and then, Marser gently pushed the door open: "Sisi, Auntie opened the door......"
At the moment when Mather took a step, Lin Sanjiu suddenly flew up and pounced, pushing her to the ground.
