This shelf is a horror movie column,The ones placed on it are naturally all horror-themed movie tapes,As the saying goes, once there is too much selectivity, you can't make a choice, this is true,Although Mingzi, who is in a good mood, quickly scanned the upper and lower rows of videotapes,But because the covers are very attractive,After choosing for a long time, she didn't know which tape to take。

In desperation, Akiko decided to refer to her friend's suggestion, and Akiko, who had been immersed in the thought of choosing from beginning to end, did not notice Chie's silence, and touched Chie who was a little distracted next to her with her elbow, and then asked him with a hesitant face: "Hey, Chie, these tapes are very attractive just by looking at the cover, let's not watch them all, I don't know which one to choose, which one do you say to choose?" ”

Akiko's question made Chie unable to answer for a while, not that she couldn't answer, but the videotapes in front of her full of covers of various bloody scenes were too alternative, these are horror movies, of course she knows what the plot scenes in horror movies will be, after all, who has never seen a horror movie before? Although Qianhui doesn't think of herself as a timid girl, she has never stated that she is very bold, strictly speaking, she does not object to her friend Akiko renting videotapes, after all, school is on vacation today, so what's the big deal about staying up late to watch movies at night? What really made her a little resistant was the theme of the movie that Akiko chose.

Horror movies, indeed, quite scary......

At this moment, staring at the cover of the video disc printed with various bloody or terrible scenes in front of her, Qianhui couldn't help frowning, she had already made a plan in her heart, although she had no reason to refute Akiko's move to rent a videotape, but she didn't plan to rent a horror movie, compared to watching a horror movie tonight, she was more inclined to watch something that could make people relaxed, such as comedy or romance or something.

Getting back to the point, Chie, who had made a decision in her heart, was about to answer, but before she could speak, the moment her eyes shifted from the shelf, she inadvertently saw something, something extremely familiar but somewhat strange.

It's familiar, it's because it's still a videotape, and it's strange because it's a videotape without a wrapping cover, yes, it's not a packaging and the eye-catching thrilling cover of the other tapes around it, it's just a black tape, and this tape is located

A corner at the bottom of the shelf, if she hadn't stumbled upon it just now, she wouldn't have noticed.

A videotape without a cover? What store would put something like this on the shelves that you can't tell what it's about?

(Huh?) ）

"Huh? Chie, why don't you speak? ”

At the same time, perhaps out of confusion about his friend's question that he hadn't answered for a long time, or maybe he noticed that the other party was staring at somewhere, Akiko, who asked the other party a little, inevitably followed Chie's gaze to the lower level of the shelf, as expected, as soon as he found this videotape without a cover, Akiko, who was curious, leaned over and stretched out his hand to observe it, as for Chie on the side, he also told Akiko about his decision at the same time:

"Akiko, I think let's rent a comedy movie and watch it, horror movies are still ...... Forget it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mingzi, who was observing the videotape without a cover in his hand, immediately smiled at Qianhui:

"Hehe, I know, it seems that Qianhui is really not very bold!"

"Well, since you're so cowardly, let's go to another shelf."

Fortunately, after a long time of contact, Mingzi still knows his friend's personality quite well, seeing that the other party does not approve of renting horror movies to watch, Mingzi, who touched his hair, did not insist, and directly agreed to Qianhui's suggestion, but he did not completely agree, before he laughed at Qianhui, and Mingzi, who was always curious about the uncovered videotape in his hand, changed his words again, and then continued with a suspicious face while pointing to the uncovered videotape in his hand: "This videotape has no cover, could it be that the shopkeeper made a mistake?" I'm curious about the contents of this tape compared to choosing others, well, renting one disc is renting anyway, and renting two discs, so let's just take this tape back and see it together. ”

Seeing that Akiko agreed to her request not to watch horror movies, Chie felt a little more relaxed, but what made her a little incomprehensible was why the other party was interested in this videotape that could not be seen at all. Of course, she was also curious about the tape when it came to curiosity, but anyway, she still didn't think it would be a good idea to rent an extra tape with unknown content for financial reasons.

Thinking of this, Chie pointed to the videotape in Akiko's hand and said

"You also saw it, this tape doesn't have a cover at all, are you sure this is the horror movie you want to watch?" What if it's a waste tape that can't be imaged? Wouldn't it be a waste of money to rent a tape? ”

"Cut! You think I'm stupid, just ask the shopkeeper? If this tape is really a scrap tape, do you think I'm going to rent it? How much money do we have? ”

"I'm sorry, is the owner there? Is the owner there? We would like to rent a videotape! ”

Da Da Da ......

Not to mention, Akiko's rebuttal made Chie speechless for a while, and at the same time, Akiko, who had refuted Chie, also walked straight to the front desk of the store after turning the row of shelves while calling the shopkeeper, and then, a situation that surprised both Akiko and Chie who followed closely behind happened:

If when they first entered the store, the two women did not pay attention to the rest of the store because one was in a hurry to find the movie and the other did not pay attention to the rest of the store because of the environment, then they found out when they tried to find the owner...... There was no one else in the entire video store except for the two of them!?

Even if the store is a small shop and there is no need to hire employees, at least there must be a store owner who collects money to do business, right?

That's right, it's true, but the reality is ......

After searching the entire store, I even looked at the only cash register where I could hide people, but the final result was still empty, there were no employees and no store manager in the store, and it was clear at a glance that there were only two people in the store, Chie and Akiko.

"Isn't the owner there? Or is the shopkeeper out on something? ”

Most Japanese people value honesty very seriously, seeing that the store is empty, Akiko who is holding the uncovered videotape and Chie, who has picked a comedy movie in the search, did not leave, they did not take the opportunity to leave without paying because there was no one in the store, but after a short discussion, they guessed that the shopkeeper had something to do and should be back soon, so they both waited in the store, but what made the two more surprised was ......

No matter how they waited, the 10 minutes passed, and no one entered the store, as if it were a video store without a store manager.
