The second mobile phone in the backpack is Apan's.

This point, Ai Weili did not take a minute to determine; Because when she used her mobile phone to call Apan, the strange mobile phone on the ground began to "buzz", showing that the caller was "Ai Weili".

She didn't know the password of Apan's phone and couldn't unlock it, so she couldn't see the messages she had sent him. However, there are a few notifications on the screen that have not yet had time to be opened, including Yahoo Sports and Reddit pushes, all of which look like Apan will be interested.

The two looked at the mobile phones on the ground and couldn't help but be silent for a while.

"So this," Vero opened first. "It's 'Apan, human,' right?"

It looks like so.

"Then why did it fall into the hands of 'Apan, ghost'?"

Ai Weili looked at the time displayed on the screen of his mobile phone, and at 12:21, he was stunned for a while. To explain, it's not for nothing

"There is one simple explanation," said Ai Weili, "that the Apan who just attacked me is Apan himself." ”

"But you're not saying he's acting weird"

"It's really weird," Ai Weili nodded, she didn't want to think about what Apan looked like now. "But the one who owns Apan's phone is also Apan himself, right? There's no need to steal his phone, huh? What's more, there is one more problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

"It's almost half-past twelve," she whispered, "but little T, who was supposed to be on shift, never came."

Vero rubbed his neck and didn't speak.

Ai Weili gently touched Apan's mobile phone and said, "If she can't come to something temporarily, she should always call me and say something." She didn't come, it must have been because she knew she didn't have to come, didn't Apan just say it when she entered the door? He changed shifts with Little T, and now it seems that he is not lying. ”

Of course, there is always a small possibility that all this is made by some ghostly thing, and Apan, who has lost his mobile phone at the moment, is sleeping at home.

"But I believe in the 'Okan razor' rule, if it is not necessary, there should be no added elements, the simpler it is, the closer it is to the truth." Ai Weili threw the phone back in his backpack, stood up and said, "I don't know how Ah Pan gradually changed after entering the convenience store, but I think the person who first stepped into the store should be Ah Pan himself." ”

"'Eroded', isn't it?" Vero thought for a moment and asked.

"I don't know," Ai Weili put the backpack back on the table, wondering if its owner would ever come back to get it. "Why haven't we been 'eroded'? He had only walked in for ten or twenty minutes, and he didn't behave like a normal person at all, and he kept forcing me to say anything to agree to let you come to work, but I refused, so he attacked me. ”

"What?" Wei Luo, who came over, opened his eyes wide, "Go to work? ”

After listening to her simple explanation, Vero couldn't help but let out a long "ah" and said, "You should have said it!" It's impossible for me to stay at work because of this sentence, and I can run away from one of them! ”

"First, I'm worried that he might have some weird methods, and as soon as I say it, it will come true," Ai Weili shook his head and said, "Second, I don't think his focus is on what he wants you to do in the future, he seems to think more, well, how to say it, eh, how did the word 'bend' come to my mind." ”

She laughed to herself, but Vero was serious. "An originally straight bamboo, to force it to accept its fate, twist itself into another form, you mean this, right? I understood. ”

…… This kind of dialogue is really relaxing.

"Would you say it if you were to change it?" Ai Weili asked after a while.

Vero thought for a moment and said, "Neither will I." ”

Ai Weili believed her.

If Apan was really "eroded", then why he was "eroded", where he went at the moment, and whether he could return to his normal life in the future has become a mystery.

There were already too many unexplained mysteries tonight, one after the other, and the speculations, explanations, and reasoning that the two men had tried to come up with, were all pale, barely enough to keep them going, without suspecting that they were going mad.

In a way, it seems that life is like this.

The two discussed a few words and unanimously decided not to call Xiao T to confirm the shift change; If Little T senses that something is wrong from the phone and runs to see it in person, after seeing the appearance of the convenience store, it will inevitably be a lot of trouble - besides, what if Little T is also "eroded"?

That is to say...... It's normal outside now," Ai Weili summed up, "I see that the guests at the barbecue restaurant outside are eating happily, and there are no problems. So, the biggest weirdness and weirdness are all in this convenience store? ”

"I think that's it," Vero said, nodding his head, "I didn't notice anything wrong when I went out, and I came back safely." Instead, you stayed in the store and almost had an accident. ”

Now that the outside has returned to normal, they can leave, so it is better to hurry up. When Little T comes to the store tomorrow night, she will naturally never know what happened, and Little T can only guess and imagine in the future, just like them, to complete an explanation for the mysteries encountered in life.

Ai Weili just picked up the key and was about to lock the back door, but the phone rang again at this time - she took out her mobile phone and glanced down, and sure enough, the caller was still "Ai Weide".

Wei Luo subconsciously glanced at the screen, and immediately reacted, as if he wanted to pretend that he didn't peek, but he still couldn't hold back himself, and asked in a low voice, "Huh?" Yours...... Well, brother? ”

Ai Weili glanced at her, pressed the speakerphone after picking up the phone, and said dryly to the phone: "Brother." ”

The reason why she pressed the speakerphone was that she had already decided on one thing: the other end of the phone might not be her real brother at all.

It's more than twelve o'clock at night now, and how can my brother, who usually doesn't call her during the day, care about her at this time? They hadn't left the convenience store yet, they hadn't gone into the safety of their daily routines, if something weird pretended to be her brother......

How can you fool her?

"Where the hell are you?" Ai Weide asked bluntly.

Ai Weili and Wei Luo glanced at each other and said, "Where I am." ”

"What?" Ai Weide was stunned for a moment, and the anger that had been prepared was disrupted by a moment of confusion. "What nonsense are you talking about? Where the hell are you? ”

"Why do you ask this?" Ai Weili asked rhetorically.

"You're embarrassed to ask me," Ai Weide snorted without a smile, "I was really too lazy to pay attention to your affairs, whether you quit or not, whether you go home or not, what your life will be, it's all your choice." But why are you so adult, and you don't know how to ask your parents to save snacks? It's not easy for me to make money outside, I accompany customers until 12 o'clock in the evening, and I don't wait to get home when I get a call from my mother......"

His voice was indeed a little drunk, as if he had drunk a few more glasses.

Vero on the side turned away a little embarrassed; Ai Weili didn't know why he felt his cheeks heat up, and he just wanted to run away from this phone call.

She was in a trance; Is it really one of the ghosts in this convenience store?

How can her brother's tone, temperament, and way of speaking be imitated so vividly? Ai Weide's tone, she has listened to it for more than 20 years, and she doesn't dare to say that she can reduce her brother to ten or two.

"Mom is angry and sad, she knows that when she calls you, you must not say anything, you don't listen to anything, isn't it just me pinching my nose and coming to you? You lied to her two days ago that you were still at work—"

I couldn't bear it anymore, Ai Weili quickly canceled the hands-free, put it to his ears, and happened to hear Ai Weide sneer: "What class are you in?" Who have you fooled? Mom made a phone call today, and you're all exposed. ”

She looked up. As if he hadn't heard anything, Vero rubbed his neck as he guarded and watched the store for her, in case the two of them were in danger or strange again.

“…… Oh. Ai Weili squeezed out a word.

"Oh what? It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, but I am really tired, and I don't want to care about you like a daughter, and I can't take care of it. I don't ask you to make money, it's just a little less angry with your parents, and let the second elder live for two more days, which is better than anything else. Are you going to go home or not? ”

As he spoke, Ai Weili could still hear the background tone on the other end of the phone; The sound of cars moving, the sound of the night wind blowing, the sound of people as Ai Weide drives past the night market.

If those weird things had taken care of even such subtleties, she wouldn't have been fooled—and, more likely, he was a real person.

If it weren't for herself, she would have hung up the phone neatly; Now it's not going to be easy.

"Brother, I'm not the time to speak." Ai Weili said, "I'm in a bit of trouble right now......

"What did you do?" Ai Weide's tone became vigilant, "You didn't spend money and owe a loan or something, did you?" If you don't have other skills, you will buy east and west, I said a long time ago, a young girl, you don't need to buy any car at all, if you think the bus is not worthy of you, where to go to let people pick you up......"

Ai Weili couldn't help but pick up the phone and mute him.

"We'll do whatever we have to do," Ai Weili whispered to Vero, walking behind the cash register. "Let him talk nonsense on the phone, the most important thing for us now is to get out of this shop-"

"Huh?" The small voice in the microphone was suddenly interrupted. "What did you say?"

At this time, Ai Weili was pulling out his coat from the mess behind the cash register; Her keys were still in her coat pocket.

She had just walked out of the cashier counter and came to Vero with her coat and her things in her arms when she heard it.

"What are you talking about? What do you think about all day long? The small but clear voice seemed to be talking to Ai Weili—but she didn't say anything.

Ai Weili and Wei Luo glanced at each other, and their eyes turned back to the mobile phone on the cash register counter, and they both slowed down.

"It's funny," Ai Weide seemed to hear an answer that no one heard but him, laughed from his nose, and said, "If I can start all over again, I tell you, Ai Weili, I must tell my parents that I have to discipline you well since you were a child, so that you can grow into another person, not like ...... now"

Ai Weili originally wanted to squeeze in the sentence "I didn't speak", but before his brother's last sentence, he suddenly stopped, and he couldn't spit it out.

She seemed to have returned to the moment when she was attacked by Apan, the blood was pouring into her mind, and her empty feet were almost unable to step on the ground.

"I really don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean by 'pick you or pick a baby'? Is this still an option? It's good to be able to choose, at least the baby won't be like you, life is set, there is no hope......"

When Avid said this, both of them saw it.

A very small hand, with pale skin and gray nails, stretched out from the edge behind the cash register, and the fat solidified on the short arm. It was slowly crawling towards the phone.

Ai Weili may never know why he asked such a sentence at that time.

"So...... Which baby are you going to choose? ”

Today, I took out the jeans I usually wear in the summer and put them on, and I still haven't caught my breath...... How much fat am I! It's all the fault of the snail noodles!!
