Trick 57 "Midnight Takeaway"

I may have been a group of people who came into contact with the delivery industry earlier, and there was no delivery worker at that time, and some of the delivery work was done by store employees, and I also encountered a strange thing when I was delivering food.

I remember in 2008, when I graduated from junior high school and was ready to go to high school, I was extremely depressed because I didn't get into a good high school. The summer vacation of the first year of high school was very long, more than two months, and I was in the rebellious period of the post-90s, so in order to get more pocket money, I was ready to work in the summer vacation in the city where my parents did business.

Because I was only 16 years old at the time, I didn't even have an ID card, so I didn't dare to use any store after looking around. In the end, I really had no choice, so I lied that I was a graduate who had just been admitted to college, and I was going to take advantage of the summer vacation to earn some money and work and study. With the blessing of this identity, I quickly found a small restaurant with a northeastern owner, and the name of the restaurant is Chinese and Korean cuisine.

Another thing that makes this store unique is that it is open 24 hours a day, with the day shift from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and the night shift from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. The location of the store is on a main road very close to the city center, so the flow of people is relatively large, and sometimes it is too late to eat during the busy day.

Although there are not as many people at night as during the day, there are also people who are sparsely frequented, and there are naturally many night workers in provincial capitals and cities. In fact, the more densely populated the place, the more dirty and messy it is, and the more it is a good place to breed darkness and evil, which I feel deeply.

The most unacceptable thing about the night shift is to order food by phone and then deliver it to your door, especially in the second half of the night, you are really not sure what kind of ghosts, snakes, and gods you can meet.

There were five waiters in the store, three on the day shift and two on the night shift, and I was the youngest and only boy. This also means that every time it is my turn to work the night shift, I must be responsible for delivering food in the second half of the night. And every time I ride a small electric donkey to deliver food in the middle of the night, I don't know what kind of people or things I will encounter.

The first time I went to deliver food was at 1 a.m., and the delivery address was two intersections away from the storefront, in a box called Mayflower Nightclub, and I ordered 20 portions of preserved egg and lean pork porridge. It was a woman, a young lady to be exact, and that was only determined after I delivered the food.

After packing, I carried 10 portions in each hand and walked towards my destination. The nightclub is at a crossroads, and the three neon characters of Mayflower stand out, and I don't understand why a venue like this is decorated in red or pink, which gives the original warm and gentle colors a different meaning.

After communicating with the doorman, he took me to the elevator, then helped me swipe my card to press the floor I wanted to go to, and told me how to get there, and then returned to the doorman. The elevator was also full of some ambiguous and pungent colors and smells, and soon, the elevator stopped, and I looked for it according to the room number, and the corridor was covered with a big red carpet, and there was no one on the way.

I walked to the place when I wondered why there was no one in the nightclub, I knocked on the door, and then a woman's voice came from inside and told me to enter. So, I pushed open the door and walked in, and all of a sudden, I couldn't open my eyes, and there were more than twenty scantily clad young women in the dark red light of the box.

At that moment, I was stunned by this scene, and I was a little stunned, when a woman with a white shirt and short skirt and short hair walked over, and a sweet voice pulled me back to reality.

"Little handsome guy, give me something, how much?"

I looked over and it was a pure-looking woman with light makeup, a girl, because she didn't look much older than me.

I quickly put my meal on the table beside me, and then told the girl the price, and just as she turned over the money to me, the women in the box gathered around. The pungent smell of perfume also hit my face, and after collecting the money, I quickly turned around and trotted out of the door, and there were bursts of laughter behind me.

There is a saying that the 500 times of looking back in the past life in exchange for passing shoulders in this life, I think that everyone we meet is destined in the dark. And I don't seem to have lost anything with this innocent short-haired girl.

A week later, when I was on the night shift, at two o'clock in the morning, the phone at the front desk suddenly rang, and I picked it up as usual and said.

"Hey, hello! This is Chinese and Korean food, do you want to order food? ”

I finished a standard set of words in less than a minute, but there was no sound from the other side of the microphone, and I thought it was too fast to hear it clearly, so I said it again. This time, a woman's voice came from the other side of the microphone.

"Bring me a porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, and send it to Room 3101, Building 27, Ferry Port."

I quickly wrote down the address and confirmed it with her again, and I didn't know if it was busy or if the call signal was bad, and after a while, I said "yes". Then I hung up the phone, the porridge was boiled, and the preserved eggs and lean meat were all ready, so I quickly packed the meal.

It was the first time I heard about this community reported by the customer, so I checked it on the map first, and found that it was not very far, so I rode a small tram and set off. The night in the city is not like the countryside, where it is pitch black everywhere, and the streets of the city are lit up at night, even in the early hours of the morning.

I quickly found the neighborhood according to the map, and after identifying myself with the doorman, I rode a small tram and killed it. It took me three turns to find the location of Building 27, which is in the corner of the most marginal part of the community.

I parked the car, ran to the building with my food, and wanted to get it back to the store as soon as possible. But as soon as I entered the hall, I was dumbfounded, the two elevators were actually broken, how to press there was no response, I waited for a while, and no one passed by, this midnight three watches are really asking for no way.

After glancing at the time, I found the stairs and went up. Although I am young, I can't imagine climbing down these 31 floors, and the worst thing is that some of the staircase lights are still broken.

At half past two in the morning, a strange neighborhood, dark staircase, saying that I am not afraid that it is fake, the empty staircase is just me, while climbing up, I feel as if there is a person behind me.

Soon, I climbed to the 30th floor, and I checked the floor number, it was the 30th floor, and when I was about to go up again, I realized that I had reached the top. I looked around left and right, and found that there was indeed no 31st floor, and if I went up, I would be on the rooftop.

So, I went back to the store and told my colleague about it, and she was also very confused, and after some discussion, we thought that someone was deliberately playing a prank. The cost of a porridge is not high, and after telling the boss about it the next day, he didn't care, so he told him to pay attention to it next time.

A week later, when I was on the night shift again, it was still two o'clock in the morning, and the phone at the front desk rang, and I picked up a set of rhetoric. But after a while, a familiar female voice came from the other side.

"Bring me a porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, and send it to Room 3101, Building 27, Ferry Port."

As soon as I heard that it was the same person who had played on me last time, I opened my mouth and asked.

"Sister, Building 27 doesn't have 31 floors at all, what do you want to do?"

There was silence on the other side of the microphone, there was no movement, I repeated what I had just said, this time after a while, the other side replied with an "um", and then there was a busy tone. I was a little baffled, and I whispered a word of "neurosis" and hung up.

The news quickly spread in the store, and everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, but the situation took a strange direction. Three days later, in the evening, a colleague on the night shift also received this order call at two o'clock in the morning, and the colleague who knew the inside story ignored it and hung up directly.

Two days later, at the same time, with the same words, a day later, at two o'clock in the morning, a strange ordering call. Now everyone is a little scared, how can anyone be bored like this, this thing has developed to the present, revealing a strange smell everywhere.

For this reason, I went to the neighborhood with my colleagues in the store, and confirmed with the doorman that Building 27 is indeed only 30 floors. A few days later, in the afternoon, we were sitting in the shop after lunch, and the cook who was reading the newspaper suddenly told us that there was a dead person in the ferry community. A few of us immediately gathered around and carefully read the newspaper report.

- A female corpse was found on the roof of 27 buildings in the ferry port community, and according to the on-site investigation, the woman was brutally murdered after being suspected of being raped...-

After reading the full report, we were a little apprehensive, thinking of the two o'clock in the morning every night, and the ordering phone was also in the same building, which couldn't help but make us think of this ghost. I followed the report and saw the photo of the female corpse before her death, and a feeling of familiarity instantly came up.

After thinking about it for a moment, a figure popped up in my mind, the short-haired innocent girl who ordered food in the nightclub...

It happened to be my turn to work the night shift that day, and the female colleague on duty with me began to worry after twelve o'clock, and I was a little scared. But the class still has to go to school, just after two o'clock, we both stared at the phone at the front desk, trying to wait for it to ring and hang up on it, but this time it didn't ring.

After waiting for 20 minutes, there was still no movement, and we were completely relieved. I thought that this was the end of the matter, but at three o'clock, the front desk phone suddenly rang, and we were startled, and we didn't dare to answer it until it rang for a minute, and I stepped forward to pick up the phone.

"Hey, hello! This is Chinese and Korean food, do you want to order food? ”

There was no one on the other side of the microphone talking, and at this time, I didn't want to ask anymore, so I was about to hang up directly, but a woman's voice suddenly came from the microphone.

"Goodbye..."

I was stunned for a moment when I heard these two abrupt words, and then there was a busy sound from the microphone, and the microphone was still in my ear, and I saw a woman standing outside the store through the glass door, with a white shirt and short skirt and short hair, and then disappeared again in a flash, which was a momentary thing.

After that, the strange ordering phone never rang again, and the matter gradually faded, but for me, it is a memory forever.
