Chapter 3: The Spooky Shop
"There's something weird about this hypermarket, or rather the store." Ai Qi thought to himself.
Because he saw that the area where the kitchen utensils were placed was not far away, but he crawled forward for a long time and did not get there.
It was dark all around, but with the magic power he had obtained, Ai Qi could see normally.
The interior of this supermarket is relatively large and spacious, and there is a wide variety of products in it.
There was no light in the space, and there was no moonlight or starlight to be seen outside. The sky was full of dark clouds, and the street lights were not lit.
If it weren't for Ai Qi's special ability, he would only be able to walk in the dark. When you encounter danger, you can only dodge and bump into it.
The situation today is not very critical, at least for now. Ai Qi's current situation will not be difficult to move an inch.
Ai Qi no longer moved his body forward, but looked at the ground carefully.
Even if you look at the ground carefully, you can only see the shape, not the color. But this is enough for Ai Qi to find the problem.
The area where Ai Qi is located looks like a circular road, and there are high steps on the left hand side.
The central enclosed area of the ring road is stocked with kitchenware, and the counter where the kitchenware is located is also cylindrical.
No wonder Ai Qi has always felt that the kitchenware placement area is not far from the left front, but he has never reached the destination.
"It seems that I was overcautious at the beginning, and I chose the strategy of crawling forward, which caused a dilemma." Ai Qi couldn't help but pat his head and think.
Then he slowly lifted up, but did not let his guard down, using his senses to detect anything unusual around him. In fact, he can't be too careful, after all, this is a mission, and it is a survival mission.
Perhaps it was the sixth sense that knew the danger, and Ai Qi's body, which was just about to stand up, fell down in an instant. At the same time, an unknown object flew over Ai Qi quickly and hit a piece of glass, which instantly shattered.
"Is the enemy finally going to show up?" A cold sweat broke out on Ai Qi's forehead, and he thought while wiping his sweat.
Ai Qi raised his head slightly, nervous that he hadn't been able to find out where the hidden weapon was launched just now.
He looked around, but found no enemy.
"Also, if I were an enemy hiding in the shadows, I would have hid my body in time after a sneak attack." Ai Qi thought to himself.
Ai Qi thought for a moment, resolutely took off one of his shoes, and threw it behind him.
"Huh." Another hidden weapon-like object, shot at the discarded shoe from the left front.
This time, Ai Qi found the source, he slowly took off his other shoe, and saw a short humanoid creature in the front left, near the kitchen utensils area.
Ai Qi took aim and threw his shoe hard at the humanoid creature.
"Ahh The usual screams of women rang out.
"What does this mean?" Ai Qi was suspicious.
Ai Qi looked at where he was, and it turned out that he had been hit in the face.
Ai Qi thought to himself: "Anyway, the location has been exposed, and the enemy has also been attacked, now you should take the opportunity to find a weapon to defend yourself." ”
Just do it. Ai Qi quickly got up, ran to the kitchenware display area at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and quickly found a relatively long knife.
"Watermelon knives?" Ai Qi was quite satisfied with this knife, because it was a longer knife that could be bought in the supermarket.
As soon as Ai Qi picked up the knife, the humanoid creature ran towards him.
Ai Qi could actually see that the humanoid creature had a hideous face, teeth and claws, and a large shoe print from the eyelids to the bridge of the nose to the lips.
"I don't think it's a good thing to have night vision right now." Ai Qi swallowed his saliva, his palms were sweaty.
"Don't come here, I have a knife. Ai Qi placed the watermelon knife on his chest and pointed it at the humanoid creature.
"Ahh The female-shaped creature opened its mouth wide and did not slow down its running speed in the slightest, and its mouth kept opening until it was so large that it covered its entire face.
"I'll you." Ai Qixiao's heart was about to pop out, and the knife couldn't hold it steadily.
"I'm defending myself, you can't blame me for being injured." Ai Qi tried his best to hold the knife tightly, this was his only guarantee of survival at the moment.
That humanoid creature, no, should say a humanoid monster now. It lunged at Ai Qi desperately, and the watermelon knife was plunged into the monster's throat and pierced out.
Ai Qi's face and body were splashed with a lot of blood, and the humanoid monster was now almost attached to Ai Qi's body.
It was so badly wounded, but it still struggled to move its body forward. The humanoid monster had already scratched at Ai Qi several times, causing Ai Qi's flesh to fly.
And the hand of this humanoid monster wanted to choke Ai Qi's neck again, and the bloody mouth was about to bite Ai Qi's face.
At the critical moment, Ai Qi stirred the watermelon knife vigorously, and minced meat continued to fall out of the mouth of the humanoid monster.
The humanoid monster struggled for a few more moments, and finally hung up.
"Is this monster brainless? Such a rampage, and mortally wounded, and desperate to kill me. ”
For the rest of his life, this thought came to his mind.
He shook his head, still a little dizzy. It seems that he was frightened a lot.
"This is a monster, and in a life-or-death situation, this can't be considered indiscriminate killing." Ai Qi thought to himself.
"What time is it?" Ai Qi thought to himself, "I should find a timekeeping item." ”
Ai Qi didn't care about resting for a while, and he didn't know what danger was waiting for him here. His current thinking is that only by turning reactive into active can he improve his chances of survival.
"Tick tock", the sound of clock hands moving. "So there's a clock around here." Ai Qi thought to himself.
He was not suspicious either, because the movement of the hands of a clock could usually only be heard when a person barely made any sound.
"It may be that because of the distance and the constant movement of the person, some sounds are made, so that the sound of the pointer moving before is muffled." Ai Qi approached the place where the sound came from, and found a clock on the ground where the humanoid monster had been hiding before.
He picked up the clock and felt it sticky in his hands. He looked at the scale corresponding to the hands of the clock, and it was not even twelve o'clock!
"How is that possible?" Ai Qi was surprised by this.
"This clock is pointing to the time, and it conflicts with the time when I first came, and one of them must be fake."
Ai Qi thought to himself. "No, isn't this clock a time bomb?" Ai Qi thought in disbelief.
Ai Qi wanted to throw it away, but it was firmly stuck to the palm of his hand, and no matter what Ai Qi did, he couldn't take it off.
Ai Qi was ruthless, and used a watermelon knife to cut off the flesh and skin where his palm was connected to the time bomb. His left hand was a blur of flesh and blood, and he ran backwards with all his might.
A few seconds later, the time bomb exploded, sending him to the side by the current.
At this time, Ai Qi suddenly heard a huge dog barking, as if it was the sound of a mastiff. Ai Qi's scalp suddenly went numb, if it was a raging mastiff, he would be in danger. Or, to put it another way, he may not live until dawn.
Ai Qi looked around and found that there was a staircase not far away, and there was an elevator next to it.
He was like grasping at a life-saving straw, and although he was tired from running just now, and he was constantly frightened, he could be said to be physically and mentally exhausted at this time, and he rushed to the elevator like crazy.
He didn't take the stairs because he was overdrawn at the moment. Despite his stamina, if there is danger on other floors, he will not be able to escape, so he will have to wait for death.
He pressed the button to go upstairs, because at the beginning of the space, the elevator was running down to the first floor to open the door, so he had to go up to the upper floor to avoid danger.
Because there was no one in the store at this time, the elevator doors were still open on the first floor, and there was electricity to run. He stumbled into the elevator, pressed the button to close the door, and then to the top floor.
Perhaps his palms were bleeding a little, and the mastiff followed the smell and ran quickly to the elevator.
When the elevator door closed to allow only one hand, the mastiff reached in with one paw.
This elevator opens the elevator door when it senses a hot object (radiating infrared).
The elevator door has a tendency to open again, and Ai Qi took the watermelon knife that had never left his hand before and slashed at the mastiff's paw.
The mastiff's paws were cut to bloody pieces, and the mastiff couldn't help but let go of his paws.
Ai Qi pressed the button to close the elevator door again, and squeezed the elevator door to the middle with both arms, and finally closed the elevator door.
