Chapter 2: Guests

Previous Chapter

"Store manager, I'm going to throw out the garbage and I'll be back soon." The boy carried the garbage out of the convenience store, because of urban planning problems, the nearest garbage bins are in front of the community a few hundred meters away.

The store manager nodded and continued to scroll through the short video, his mouth stuffed with bread and a little hamster, chewing on it.

The boy on the front foot just left, and a strange guest came in on the back foot, although it was only spring, but because of the sunny weather, the outside temperature was also around 26 degrees, and this man was hiding in a black robe, he couldn't see that he was tall, short, fat and thin, and his face was sunglasses and a mask, which was mysterious.

When he came to the shop, he wandered aimlessly, as if he was looking for something, I don't know if it was an illusion or something, and there was a faint black fog on the road he walked.

The store manager also noticed this strange customer, and after taking a sip of sparkling water, he quickly swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked cautiously, "Do you want to buy something, I can help you find it." ”

The man's body trembled when he heard the store manager's voice, and he turned his head to stare at her, although he was still furious through his sunglasses. Fortunately, the awkward look did not last long, and the man took the bag of candles and walked straight towards the cash register, his pace was slow and heavy.

A candle slapped on the cash register, and as the distance was pulled, an eerie smell accompanied by a slight rancid smell came. But the store manager didn't think much about it, "This pack of candles is ten yuan, WeChat or Alipay?" ”

The man fumbled in the black robe for a while, took out a crumpled ten-yuan bill and handed it to the store manager, his hands were also wrapped in bandages, and he really couldn't see any skin.

"Thank you for your patronage." The store manager stretched out the ten-dollar bill, opened the cash register and put the money away, looked up and suddenly found that the man just now had disappeared, as if he didn't exist in the first place, "What a strange guest..."

Before she could finish speaking, another strange guest appeared in her sight, the man was tall and strong, his muscles were bound in a uniform similar to that worn by the SWAT, his eyes were fierce, and the corners of his mouth were contemptuously hooked. His gaze scanned back and forth between the cash register and the store manager, and he wandered around the store on his own.

The store manager was still a little scared in his heart, why did there suddenly have so many strange customers today, the former was mysterious, the latter was vicious, but out of the store manager's duties and politeness, he still asked, "Do you need anything?" ”

"It's his smell, did a strange guy come to you to buy something just now?" The man did not answer the store manager's words, but asked, "What did he buy and where did he go?" ”

"I have an obligation to protect the privacy of my guests, what exactly do you need?" The store manager stood up and said word by word, she is an honest person, and the people who come to her to buy things are customers, and she will not casually disclose the personal information of customers.

"A person who broke a convenience store still dares to talk to Uncle Ben like this." The man was obviously enraged, and a quick step rushed to the store manager, "Let's go, go back with me!" As he spoke, a large hand reached out to the store manager, trying to grab the person by the collar and take him away.

The man did not succeed, and just as his fingers were only a few centimeters away from the store manager, the other hand grabbed his arm and easily stopped his movements.

"Where did you come from, you did it with your hands and feet?" The boy looked at the man with a hostile expression, and his white and slender fingers became more and more forceful, and the man who pinched it was a little painful.

"You!" The man was a little shocked when he felt the boy's strength, and he paid great attention to strength training, and he could pick up an adult man with his bare hands, and here he was actually suppressed by a boy who did not look more than eighteen years old.

"What are you, bullying the store manager, aren't you?" Under the shocked eyes of the store manager, the anger in the boy's eyes gradually burned, and suddenly he pulled violently, and the man fell towards the boy by force, and then the former received a heavy punch in the face, and the moment he flew out, the boy grabbed his leg and fell out hard, and the man who was thrown out of the convenience store rolled down a few times and lay on the ground in embarrassment.

"Little rabbit cub...", the man obviously lost his mind, and after staggering to his feet, he pulled out his gun from his waist and aimed it at the boy, the black muzzle of the gun seemed to spew out sparks of evil at any moment.

"Tsk." The boy shook his wrist impatiently, he was most afraid of trouble on weekdays, and if he made a rash move, he didn't know if he could continue to work here, there was still an insurmountable gap and estrangement between the two races. But if you don't shoot again, you won't be hit by this pistol with your reaction speed, what will happen to the store manager, what will happen to the convenience store?

Forget it, let's fight first, this kind of bastard actually dares to bully the store manager, if he comes back a minute late, he doesn't know what will happen.

The man slammed the trigger, and the fire erupted from the muzzle.

The boy surged out with a force on his legs and rushed out at a speed that was impossible for humans to achieve.

Just as he and the bullet were about to collide, the sounds around him suddenly disappeared, and the wind gradually slowed down, and the shopkeeper and the man did not even realize that time had been suspended, but he could catch a glimpse of a woman in a black dress in the shade of a tree not far away, with a huge clock hanging from a strange spirit behind her, and then his time was also suspended.

When he came back to his senses, the woman had come between him and the man, and the bullet was pinched and played with in her hand. The man's face was now pale, and he knelt down on one knee at a loss, muttering something.

"I didn't want to care about you, but be gentle with my own people." The woman waved her hand, motioned for the man to go first, turned around to face the boy and bowed slightly to apologize, "It's our people who are abrupt, he is also on a mission, and I hope for understanding." ”

"We're just..." The boy was about to speak, but the store manager chased him out and grabbed his arm and said first: "It's okay, it's okay, we understand, this kid has also caused you trouble, can you not investigate his attack on the police?" ”

"Hahahaha, you're laughing," the woman chuckled a few times, "and we're grateful that you didn't hold us accountable." ”

Then he handed the boy a business card, which was impressively printed with the four big characters of Linghua Academy.

"I think you're pretty skilled, if you can, it's better to come and see us than to waste your skills in this little convenience store, what do you say?" Speaking of this, the woman looked meaningfully at the store manager, as if to suggest that she let the boy go with her.

"I'm sorry, my clerk has plenty of personal freedom, I don't count if he goes or stays." After the store manager finished speaking, he looked at the boy proudly, and turned away handsomely.

"I'm sorry, I think the convenience store is quite comfortable, go slowly, don't deliver."
