Strange to say, both of them were mentally prepared to be chased by the new monsters all over the store again, but after they carefully checked around, they found that there was nothing unusual in the store.

"Could it be that we can't see it, just like I couldn't see the woman at the table before," Vero suggested, "but actually, it's already here?"

"It's possible, so what do we do?" Ai Weili said, "The one next to the table, we can still avoid walking, if there is a new ghost, we don't know where to avoid." ”

If she was in this situation alone, even if she was not desperate or afraid, Ai Weili would begin to be anxious and worried - how to avoid the invisible danger? How can you not avoid it?

However, Vero shrugged his shoulders and put the soy sauce bottle down instead. "Ah, since there's no way to avoid it, then forget it, you sit down, take a break, take a break."

"Rest?" Ai Weili glared at her.

Vero had already sat down cross-legged, right in the door of the short hallway. Her attitude is natural, as if this is the only right way: "The soldiers will block, the water will cover up, and when there is a problem, then solve it, there is no problem now, you are in a hurry to have a fart." ”

"How can there be no problem, at least there is an invisible woman, sitting at the dining table!"

Ai Weili was protesting, but her body sat down involuntarily - it was already past eleven o'clock, and she had already experienced more than six hours of fear, adventure, running away and struggling, and she had long been physically and mentally exhausted, and she had never felt so tired in her life.

"yes, did she do anything to us?" Vero spread his hands and said calmly, "If these invisible ghosts could sneak up and kill us, then we would be dead by now." We're fine, which means they can't do anything to us, maybe they have to show up to attack us, eh, it's so inconvenient to do ghosts, and the business level is too poor. ”

"You don't want to motivate them to be better here, okay?" In a few words, Ai Weili unconsciously relaxed, as if the fact that he might be in the same room with ghosts really became less terrifying. She looked at Vero, and for some reason, blurted out a sentence: "I envy you." ”

"Huh?" Vero had just pulled out a packet of peanuts from his pocket, which must have been taken from the store, and was stunned for a moment. "Why?"

"I envy you for always stretching out like this." Ai Weili looked at his fingernails and said, "Growing up, no matter where I went, I always felt out of place and out of place. My parents, my brother, and I are like creatures of two worlds. It seems too numb to say that no one in the world understands me, and I don't have anything special, but I do feel that people who live in harmony in this world can't see me as an incompatible person. So I don't have any friends, and even if I come to Wild Deer Town alone and settle down, I don't know who to talk to."

"I don't have any friends." Verro's words were so easy and natural to say - it didn't seem to be ashamed of not having friends at all.

"How is it possible," Ai Weili said with a smile, "You are such a generous and outgoing person, you definitely have many friends. ”

"No, not really." "The more people I know, the fewer people I think I can be friends with." If it's the kind of friend who can only go shopping, eating and buying clothes together, what am I going to do, I can also go shopping, eating and buying clothes alone. So if you say 'out of place', I often feel like I tell you, all you need is someone who is just as 'out of place' as you to find a place in the world. ”

Ai Weili was silent for a while. She didn't say a word at the moment, not because she used to feel "speechless", but as if because she didn't have to.

"I have teammates when I play games, I also have colleagues who get along well at work, and old classmates will meet occasionally," Vero raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and whispered, "But I don't know, maybe I'm too demanding, I think 'friends' are different things." Well, when you fall in love, don't you always say 'soul mate'? I think that a real 'friend' should be a kind of 'soul mate', a friendly version of it. ”

Ai Weili laughed. "I'd like to have friends like that, but that's too hard!"

Vero also laughed and said, "Even the ghost has been bumped into, the 'soul friend' should not be far away, right?" ”

"It's not far, it's not far away, there's a winning ticket behind the 'soul friend'" Ai Weili smiled and said halfway before being kicked by Wei Luo.

She was now tired and hungry, curled up on the cold, dirty floor, with a bathroom not far behind her; In this old and shabby convenience store, I don't know what inexplicable ghost thing is secretly waiting for an opportunity to make her never see the sun again - but in such a bad situation, Ai Weili is finally able to let out a long breath from the depths of her soul and slowly let go of herself in such a bad situation.

Before tonight, she didn't even know she was in a state of constant tension.

"Here, eat peanuts," Vero handed over the bag.

"When did you get it from the store," Ai Weili muttered, pulling out a handful and feeding it into her hungry stomach.

"I only took a bag of peanuts, which is already very ethical, and I can eat the whole store now."

"Do you know that animals don't have an appetite when they're afraid," Ai Weili said vaguely from between his mouthful of peanuts, "The two of us eat peanuts so fragrant, which means that we are not afraid." ”

"Those things have tried so many ways, and they can't do anything to us, so we don't need to be afraid."

Vero said, raising his hand, finger by finger counting: "First the voice in the apartment, then the 'questionnaire' and the paper man it brought out. I survived the back door, and the paper figures were burned by us again, so the changed its plans and started to appear in the 'dark zone', all of which failed, and you see, how calm the store is now. ”

"Hopefully they're not thinking about the next step," Ai whispered.

Vero turned his head and shouted into the store, "You guys think about it for a while, we're not in a hurry!" ”

The more nervous and depressed it is, the more uncontrollable the laughter will become. The two of them are like little girls who go out on an outing and chat in the middle of the night and don't sleep, they mix their heads and giggle for a long time, and they don't know what's funny; The nerves that had been tense for so long just now suddenly had a chance to relax, releasing all the pent-up emotions - Vero even jumped up, sucked his stomach flat, and said vigorously, "Beautiful young lady, guess who I am?" Ai Weili laughed so much that he collapsed to the ground.

They were having a good time, and time passed so fast before they knew it that when the bell at the gate "jingled", Ai Weili thought it was a guest - they jumped up and was a little at a loss for a while.

However, the person standing at the door was Apan.

Apan's small stomat-like eyes widened at this time.

Little by little, his gaze swept from the messy, withered, war-torn shop, his face white and red, and the blood spots on his skin were almost visible after the blood vessels had burst; Finally, his eyes were fixed on Ai Weili.

"What?" He finally let out a roar, "What are you doing, what's going on in the store?" Are you crazy? ”

How did he get in?

Ai Weili didn't have time to pay attention to Apan, and glanced behind him first—and then couldn't help but be taken aback.

I don't know when, the rich darkness outside the glass window disappeared.

At this time, although the outside of the store was also dark, it was normal darkness on the road in the middle of the night. Streetlights cast a halo of light on the sidewalk; Occasionally, a car drives by on the road, and the taillights pull out a red light and shadow; Opposite a barbecue restaurant that only opens at night is brightly lit, and there is a table of guests who are eating supper and drinking beer, and I don't know what I heard my friend say, a girl with a ponytail tilted her head back and laughed.

Convenience stores are unwittingly taken back to the normal world, but they don't realize until now.

"Why are you here," said Ai Weili, glancing at the clock on the wall—it turned out to be eleven fifty o'clock.

"You have the face to ask me why I'm here!" Apan's anger suddenly rose to a new level, "What nonsense did you call me before, it seems that you have taken drugs, I don't feel at ease, and I told Xiao T that I will change shifts with her tonight, and it turns out that you have demolished the entire store for me!" I'm glad I'm here, otherwise you're going to run away? ”

"Hey, almost," Vero interjected, frowning, "don't you have a little respect for talking to others?" ”

Apan's blood-red eyes suddenly turned to her.

"Who are you! I'm teaching my employees, what does it have to do with you? Or are you responsible for the way the store looks like this? ”

Vero jumped up in anger, took a step forward, and was about to speak, but was pressed by Ai Weili on the arm.

"Since we want to discuss responsibility," she looked at Apan, and said coldly, "You might as well talk about it, lie to me that a foreigner will work for you in the most dangerous time, what responsibility should you pay?" ”

Apan, who had just walked to the shelves to check the goods, suddenly stiffened when he heard the words, but he didn't look up, his eyes only hung on the shelves, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Are you mentally disturbed? What is the most dangerous time when you think you work in Afghanistan? ”

"You know very well in your heart—" Ai Weili's words had just begun, when he was interrupted by Apan.

"Wow, there's so much missing, don't tell me it's all sold out, I'll check the cash register right away." He walked down the shelves and said, "Let me tell you, you have to compensate for all these things that are missing and damaged!" I see that your monthly salary is not enough to compensate, so I don't dare to continue to hire you, you quickly pay for the loss and leave me immediately, don't let me call the police to arrest you. ”

"I'm also from Wild Deer Town, do you really think you can play dumb?" Vero couldn't help but ask. "You're sending people to death, do you know?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Apan said from behind the shelves, looking at them with a long, blank face. "I only admit a little bit and lose money, otherwise I will call the police."

His gaze fell on Vero, as if he was very disgusted, and said: "What the hell is going on with you, if you make the store like this, you are also responsible, you can hurry up and get me home and get the money, if it has nothing to do with you, you can leave quickly, I still have to settle accounts with her and count things, I don't have time to quarrel with you here." ”

Seeing that Wei Luo seemed to be about to pick up something at hand and hit him, Ai Weili quickly pulled her clothes twice and whispered, "You were only involved because you wanted to save me, and you really shouldn't be responsible for this matter." ”

Although this incident was originally Apan's fault, and he put himself in danger and ignored it, the reason that "he used me as a substitute for the dead ghost" will not pass the test with the police.

Even if they have successfully survived so many strange events, the real world is another kind of tarsal bones, and there is nowhere to escape - for all kinds of strangeness, they may be able to defeat and escape, but they can only bow to reality.

After all, this is a turbulent, indifferent, and rough world, and Ai Weili is almost getting used to it.

"Do you have the money to lose?" Wei Luo spoke unceremoniously, not knowing the euphemism at all: "You work as a clerk in a convenience store in an unknown town, and you have only been a clerk for a few days, what are you doing boldly?" ”

Ai Weili really didn't have any money, but she stubbornly refused to let go. "You don't care about that"

"Shut up and stand aside," Vero lost patience and walked up to Apan, staring at him and asking, "I'll transfer the purchase price to you." ”

"What are you kidding, no," Apan refused: "How can I explain?" How do I get into my account? Retail price, cash, or credit cards are not acceptable. I don't want to take responsibility for you, if these are sold, I won't call the police. ”

Ai Weili wanted to pick up the phone and smash him.

"Got it," Vero agreed, "you wait here for me, I'll go home and get the card and get the money." ”

"What if you don't come back?" Appan squinted at her, "How do I know you're not going to walk away?" ”

"Then you call the police!" Ai Weili couldn't help but interject a long time ago, and immediately said: "Don't wait for her to get the money back, you can call the police now, and I will do it alone." ”

Vero glared at her. "For 10,000 yuan, you are going to jail? Are you stupid, do you know how to settle accounts? Didn't I tell you to shut up and go to the side? ”

She thought about it, took out her phone, made sure it was locked, and threw it to Apan.

"With this, I will definitely come back," Wei Luo dropped a sentence angrily, and the person was already walking towards the door of the store: "Ai Weili, when he counts things, you give me a good look, I think he seems to be a person who is very good at filling his own pockets, I don't trust him." ”

With a bang, the glass door closed behind her, leaving only two people left in the convenience store.
