Chapter 22: The Extra Phone
"It's just a sentence," said the man named Apan, in a flat voice, "and what harm is there in saying it?" You also said, is Vero really going to listen to you unconditionally? ”
Yes, it's just a sentence. She wasn't a slave owner and couldn't decide what Vero thought, and if she said that, Vero wouldn't have come to work at the convenience store because of that
Even if Ah Pan is a ghost and has some mysterious power that is incomprehensible, then it would be good for him to hypnotize Wei Luo himself, why bother to go around in a circle here for Ai Weili?
"As long as you say it, you can leave now, as for where you go next, what happens, I don't care, I don't have to lose money, I don't have to worry about the police, everything that happened tonight can become as if it didn't happen."
Ah Pan thought for a while, and then said: "At least you can save yourself, if you feel embarrassed to save yourself, then you can also go out, and remind Vero again, the best of both worlds, benevolence and righteousness." ”
"As long as I say this, I can go? Even if you go and go to Vero and remind her not to come to work in the store? ”
"That's right," Apan assured.
Ai Weili opened his mouth, and he suddenly became a little interested, as if he was looking forward to it.
"That," she whispered, "I agree that you go home and the watermelon." ”
At the same time that Apan's eyes widened slightly, Ai Weili turned around, reached out and picked up the backpack he left on the chair, and immediately threw out the heavy backpack containing many cans—before she could see if he had been hit, as soon as the bag left her hand, she immediately turned around and rushed to the back of the store.
She had already run around the convenience store too many times tonight, and after getting around to the farthest row of shelves from Apan, she continued to run to the back door; Apan's head poked out from behind her shoulder and asked, "Are you really going through the back door?" ”
What?
Ai Weili couldn't help but scream, subconsciously wanted to dodge, and almost hit the shelf next to him, and stood against the shelf at the last moment.
Ah Pan stood in front of her, there was no change in his body, the backpack he was carrying in one hand, and with a "bang", he was thrown back to the ground.
He caught up so quickly? Obviously lost the packet in the past, but he didn't even delay him at all?
"It's just a disagreement, haven't you ever said it in your life?" Apan leaned over, his face gradually coming up, and the dark shadow cast by the light under his facial features elongated and melted into one.
As he spoke, the shadows on his cheeks stretched up and down.
"This is called perfunctory, called vanity and wrongdoing, for the sake of such a great benefit, Isn't it the most indifferent thing to say to others? You are so rigid and idealistic, how can you adapt to society? ”
Ai Weili really couldn't imagine where he found so many things to say, and he hadn't finished talking yet.
"For the sake of a woman who has known each other for a few hours, to give up such a good chance to escape, have you considered your parents? How much effort and money did they spend raising you? In the future, you can only rely on your brother for the elderly, don't you feel ashamed? In the same situation, Vero must have spoken a long time ago. ”
"So much nonsense, you don't have watermelons at home?" Ai Weili asked in a low voice, turned his hands and held on to the shelves.
Apan's head had just tilted, and she had already lifted her leg and kicked the other man's crotch.
There was no screaming, no pain, Apan just tilted his body, arched himself slightly, and snorted from his nose. Ai Weili had time to see his reaction, and ran to the door again from his side, with a cat's waist and a flash, - she did still have a heavy psychological shadow for the back door, and when she was about to rush to the cash register, she turned around and ran towards the door.
In the blurred reflection on the glass of the door, Appan had followed her, holding out a hand to the back of her head.
The low ponytail tied to the back of his head was suddenly grabbed by a force, and then he pulled it down; It seemed that the entire scalp was about to be dragged off the skull, Ai Weili screamed in pain, his back involuntarily fell, and the whole person was pulled out of balance.
"If you don't say it, you can't go," Apan whispered in a tone as sweet as a paper man, "tell me!" ”
Ai Weili's vision was already covered with a layer of tears, his hands pressed his hair, gritted his back molars and said, "I said, I said...... I agree—"
With these three words coming out, she could feel that behind her Ah Pan seemed to think that he was about to succeed, and even the hand holding her hair subconsciously loosened a little imperceptible.
"I agree to let Pande come to work instead of me!"
Before she could finish speaking, Ai Weili lifted one foot and kicked it backwards by feeling—the heel seemed to kick his knee, and Ai Weili felt the bone in her foot turn backwards with a tooth-aching sound that almost broke, and her head was free again.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Apan, who was staggering backwards, one knee seemed to have an idea of his own, and turned out alone—the average person must have been in unbearable pain, but there was still not much expression on his face, and as he retreated, he looked at her with those small air hole-like eyes.
Ai Weili reached out and grabbed the old-fashioned telephone from the cash register. The ice melted more than half, wet and cold; She didn't wait for Apan to raise her hand to block it, and she had already smashed the entire telephone into his face.
Appan was hit on the head like this, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground without a scream.
For a while, Ai Weili seemed to be unable to see or hear anything.
The air was scorched blood-red by the fire, and it buzzed with the blood flow in her brain; She'd lived so big, and she had never been so bloodthirsty as she was now—she wished she had a boulder in her hand, and she was going to smash the outline of this figure in front of her into a blur.
"I agree," she said, tossing the phone as a soy sauce bottle rolled down the floor and into her hand. "I agree to let Pande die in this shop!"
The soy sauce bottle shattered on the floor with a thud as he turned his head in time to avoid the glass bottle that was smashed into his face.
Ai Weili held half of the broken glass piece tightly in her soy sauce-soaked hand, and held it high again—no matter where it was, no matter what it was, she was going to make these ghost things pay today—but at this juncture, a familiar ringtone suddenly shook her, and the buzzing in her head subsided slightly.
It was ringing from the back of his pants pocket - his own mobile phone. Who is it? Is it Vero?
Just distracted by the ringing of the phone for a moment, she lost the only chance to smash the bottle down. On the ground, Ah Pan raised an expressionless face, and then kicked Ai Weili's calf.
There was already a lot of soy sauce on the floor, and Ai Weili couldn't hold her balance anymore in the sharp pain from her shins, and slammed the back of her head on the floor - her vision was blurred, and the convenience store jumped around her in circles.
In the midst of the whirlwind, she heard someone shouting: "Ai Weili! ”
She couldn't speak, couldn't respond, and even the name "Ai Weili" didn't seem to have much to do with her.
"Fuck you bloody shit," the man scolded loudly, passing through the layers of rippling consciousness and into Ai Weili's ears, making her vaguely feel a little familiar.
In the next second, she felt that a body not far away seemed to take a few steps and slammed into the ground again with a "bang".
It wasn't enough to fall, something was thrown through the air, stirring up a gust of air; After a short grunt from Apan, everything fell silent.
"Are you alright?"
The floor shook with footsteps; Soon, the voice belonging to Wei Luo, Wei Luo's breath, and the warmth on her body rushed to Ai Weili together.
A strong hand reached under her neck, supporting her head, but it seemed afraid to lift her head. The shadow that hung over her whispered, "I rushed back as soon as I thought of something was wrong, but I had already walked far away"
"Wei, Wei Luo," Ai Weili blinked, finally saw her face clearly, and even gave birth to a sense of grievance, as if the bullied child had seen his eldest sister. "Apanta"
Vero raised his head with a "swish", but he was stunned, and a voice sounded from his nose: "Huh? ”
"What's wrong?" Ai Weili struggled to his feet, convinced that he had a slight concussion. Vero stood up, walked slowly around a few steps, looked around, and then turned around and said, "He's gone." I was still here just now. ”
It looks like Vero had just smashed that old telephone at Apan; But where he fell, there was no one at the moment.
Except for the two of them, the entire convenience store was empty.
"Isn't he really alive either?" Vero's voice was raised, "What's the matter, but it's normal outside, I've gone out for a walk and come back." ”
Ai Weili rubbed his head and whispered, "I don't know what's going on, he was also 'surveying' with me just now." And his jaw, anyway, he just reminded me of the weird stuff from before a couple of times. ”
What would have happened to Vero if she hadn't come back in time?
As soon as he thought of this, Ai Weili couldn't help but shudder. Unlike so many strange things that appeared tonight, the "Apan" just now was flesh and blood, you can reach out and grab her, you can smash your fist into her body again and again, how can it disappear after being smashed by the telephone?
"Apan" shouldn't be afraid of a telephone, right?
"I'm afraid it's not because of the telephone, although it's useful to fight poison with poison."
After she asked the question, Vero bent down and picked up the phone on the ground, saying, "Do you know why I came back halfway through?" ”
Before Ai Weili could shake her head, she continued: "Because I suddenly thought of the phone call that the two of us received together, the call from you. ”
"What happened to the phone?"
"I don't think I told you what the warnings we've heard." Vero put the phone away, and said with a rare and serious expression: "I just briefly told you a general idea, that is, 'don't separate', but in fact, when I first listened to the phone, what you told me on the phone was not so simple. ”
Ai Weili remembered that Wei Luo had been quietly listening to the phone call for a while, which was enough time for the person on the phone to say a few words.
"I was standing on the road, desperately trying to remember what you said to me on the phone, and then I remembered." Vero let out a long breath and repeated, "'You two must never be separated, I know it will not be easy to do, there will always be various reasons and dangers that force you to separate, but you remember, even if you have been well after separation, you must never be separated. ’”
Ai Weili looked at her stunned and said, "'Even if I have had the experience of being separated and still being fine', isn't that when I was pulled into the reflection before?" ”
"Yes, I just thought of that and immediately ran back desperately." Vero smiled wryly and said, "To be honest, I haven't taken the initial warning to heart since you said you called to remind us to 'don't go through the back door,' and it's true that we were separated and that we've been fine since then." ”
"It seems that 'Apan' wants us to separate, and then attack us separately. It's because we're together, we take care of each other, and we can add one to be greater than two, right? Ai Weili was in pain and dizzy, sat back on the ground, and said, "How did you come up with the phone warning?" ”
"I wasn't at ease," Vero sat down beside her, rubbing his neck as if it hurt. "I thought he was a real man, but what about people, most of the people in the world are not as good as ghosts. I thought, if my phone was still around, I could call you—ah! What about my phone? ”
Her eyes widened and she jumped to her feet, because the movement was so great that it seemed to involve her neck, and she took a breath in pain. "That piece of shit disappeared on its own, but did he take my phone down the drain as well?"
didn't care about commenting that Wei Luo was really good at swearing, and Ai Weili quickly got up from the ground. "Call me on my phone and try it, your phone is not silent, right?"
When she pulled out her phone, she found that she had a missed call, and the caller's name was "Aiweide".
"What's wrong?" Vero asked.
"It's okay," Ai Weili crossed out the prompt, "how many calls do you have?" ”
Soon, they heard the standard ringing of an iPhone, which rang indistinctly from inside the store.
"Where?" Vero turned his head and followed the bell tone, "Did you hear that?" ”
Ai Weili suddenly understood at this time. "In his backpack," she quickened, walking towards the spot where she had been stopped by "Apan" for the second time. "That 'Apan' brought a backpack, but I didn't expect it to be there"
Sure enough, the backpack that was thrown on the ground by "Apan" is still in place at the moment; Vero opened it and pulled out an iPhone that was constantly notifying its owner of incoming calls. She rubbed her neck again, looked at it again, and couldn't help asking, "Strange, he's a ghost, why is he holding so many cans?" ”
"He did look like he was greedy for money and things at the time," Ai Weili smiled bitterly, took out all the goods one by one, and said, "And I'm still very interested in you, what are you saying that you need a boyfriend like him." looks greedy and lustful, whoever sees it will think that he must be a real living person, isn't it a ghost? ”
Before he had time to erase the expression "disgusting" from his face, Vero frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Did you get your phone back?" Ai Weili asked, with one hand still in his bag.
"Got it."
"So" Ai Weili pulled out his hand, showed her the things in his hand, and asked, "Who is this mobile phone?" ”
