Wild Deer Convenience Store

Chapter 17 Willow Trapped in Reflection
Willow's shadow will be cast on the glass, which means...she is standing in front of the dining table at this time?

Strong joy led Ai Weili's heart to beat, but just when she subconsciously wanted to rush over, her movements stopped.

If Wei Luo was standing there, she didn't need to rely on her reflection to find it. She saw it when she ran over just now.

No way?
Another unrealistic thought, which seemed almost like dream talk, gradually rose from her mind.

Vero was not in the store, but on the glass the conclusion seemed simple and logical, but extremely unrealistic: Vero was in the reflection.

How did she get into the reflection in the glass?
Was it when she went to see the situation just now, she somehow fell into the reflection?Grabbed by the lower half of the face and replaced?But how to pull a big living person into the reflection
In the reflection, Wei Luo was full of anxiety, gesturing to her repeatedly, opening and closing his mouth; unfortunately, Ai Weili couldn't understand what she meant at all.

Another thought crept up her back like a cold hand.

Willow is gone, which means she is the only one left in the shop?
Looking at Wei Luo, Ai Weili took a few steps forward in a daze, as if wanting to pick her up subconsciously, and came to the aisle with two rows of shelves in the middle of the convenience store.

No, not right.

Thinking of this, she slowly rolled her eyes to the right aisle.

She guessed wrong, she was not the only one left in the store.

A man wearing a plo shirt and khaki pants was standing in the middle of a shelf with daily necessities, his head buried deeply in a row of goods on the shelf.

He stood straight on the ground, with his upper body against the shelf; his stretched long neck extended from the merchandise on the shelf, connecting to the collar of his polo shirt.

In the next few seconds of silence, the man in the polo shirt stood in front of the shelf, motionless.

what is this?
Ai Weili felt cold and stiff all over for a moment, not daring to disturb the man, he took a step back silently.

In her peripheral vision, Wero strode closer in the glass reflection, looking as clear and real as if she herself was standing outside the glass window, waving desperately at her—what's wrong?
Ai Weili's eyes fell on his reflection in the glass.

The layout of the shops on both sides of the glass is the same, but the glass does not seem to have completely lost its characteristics, and she herself casts a shadow on the glass; but compared to Wero, her shadow is light and fuzzy, like a layer on the cage. yarn.

Her shadow looked the same, just like herself, standing a few steps away in front of the beverage cabinet in a daze; the beverage cabinet, aisle, shelf behind her... were all the same as those around her, except that one was missing A man in a polo shirt.

Desperately, Willow smashed the glass with his fist.

Ai Weili quickly turned his eyes at her, and found that this time he seemed to understand Wei Luo's meaning.

She seemed to be telling herself to go away quickly.

why?
At that moment, Ai Weili felt that the hairs all over his body were popping out——she knew it.

The self on the glass projection casts another "shadow within a shadow" on the glass of the cabinet door behind him; the glass at this moment is like a mirror, reflecting the reflection on the drink cabinet door behind Ai Weili.

"Ai Weili" on the door of the drink cabinet, with his back to Ai Weili, was groping to open the door.

She couldn't hold back the exclamation in her throat, and she didn't dare to turn her head to see if there was really a "self" in the drink cabinet behind her; when she turned around, she jumped into the aisle of the shelf next to her, and suddenly Stopped.

A man in a polo shirt is right in front of him.

To be precise, he was standing next to Ai Weili's shoulder at this time; at some point, he changed his direction.

He was originally standing in the center of the daily necessities shelf, with his back turned to Ai Weili; but now he has changed to another shelf, and his head is buried deeply in the shelf of puffed food, the position is just parallel to Ai Weili, and he is standing beside her.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, and for a second or two, the air froze.

Immediately afterwards, Ai Weili turned around and fled.

The unique sound when the door of the drink cabinet was opened, and the rustling sound of the potato chip packaging bag were born in the air behind her one after another, crawling towards her like vines, trying to stop her in her footsteps.

When she ran quickly through the glass window, Wei Luo was still standing in the reflection and looked at her, his face was full of anxiety and worry, his eyes were round and wide - how could Ai Weili dare to stop to communicate with her, striding forward Running forward, she even picked up a shopping basket on the way; when she returned to the checkout counter, Ai Weili had nowhere to go, so she turned around hastily, lifted the shopping basket up high, and was ready to go. Prepare to smash it out.

Of course, the shopping basket has no lethality at all; she just waited for two seconds panting, but soon realized that nothing was following behind her, so she couldn't really use the shopping basket to defend herself.

Strange, what about those two things?
Why is it the same as the second half of her face, she won't chase after she runs?
Ai Weili's heart beat strong and fast, and every beat made her heart ache, making her wonder if she was going to have a heart attack.She blocked the shopping basket in front of her chest, wiped the cold tears from her face, walked back a few steps carefully, and glanced into the aisle between the dining table and the ice cream cabinet.

The man in the polo shirt was standing in that aisle, but he bent deeply as if bowing to someone, his head buried in the ice cream freezer.

It seems that when he stops, people will not see his head but can't see his head. Is it a symbol of "temporary safety"?
At least, he is no longer approaching himself.

Ai Weili hurriedly backed away, looked around carefully, waited for a few seconds, and gradually got a bottom line in his heart.

Those things didn't keep chasing her, the same goes for the lower half of her face
As she backed away step by step, the lower half of her face became more and more unhappy, and the corners of her mouth drooped; when she just started to run away, she remembered that the corners of her mouth on the lower half of her face were so deep that it almost reached her chin It was split, but after a few steps of chasing, the lower half of the face disappeared, and I stopped chasing.

Thinking about it this way, when she ran away from the polo shirt and the drink cabinet just now, the situation was very similar.

Could it be that as long as they leave a certain range around them, they can't feel themselves?If you don't feel it, stop chasing it?

I thought so, but Ai Weili still couldn't muster up the courage to experiment with this theory by himself.

Just as she was holding the shopping basket and didn't know what to do, she found that Wei Luo's reflection also ran to the gate at this time - if they hadn't been separated, Wei Luo should be by her side now right.

Ai Weili had never missed a woman whom he had only known for a few hours so much.

The eyes of a person and a reflection met in mid-air; Wei Luo hurriedly raised a finger in front of his lips, this gesture is universal, and the meaning can be understood at a glance - Wei Luo is asking her to silence.

Ai Weili was stunned for a moment, and then wished he could slap himself.

It turns out that sound is also one of the conditions for them to track themselves?

In other words, before the lower half of her face approached her, she did yell "Don't come here", and she just let out a cry of surprise when she found that the man in the polo shirt had changed a shelf and came to her shoulder. It turned out that it was her voice that attracted these things?

If I can find a way to make them go away
Ai Weili thought for a while, and gently took a pack of chewing gum from the shelf under the cash register.She raised her hand and ruthlessly threw it deep into the store—on the glass of the door. Wero, who had been watching her actions, seemed to understand her intentions, and finally showed a weak and tired smile.

With a "da" sound, the chewing gum hit something and rolled to the ground.

Ai Weili's whole body tensed up. Holding the shopping basket, he waited for a few seconds without making a sound, and then he raised his head to look at the man in the polo shirt again.

He was no longer in front of the ice cream case.

The man in the polo shirt was standing at the end of the shelf, four or five meters away from Ai Weili, and his head was stuck in the shelf; although it was a shelf that was erected not long ago, the goods were scattered and there were gaps everywhere. It is impossible to hide a human head, but what Ai Weili can see is still only his neck and body.

Sure enough, it seemed that the sound would indeed attract the attention of these things; if I was too close to them, I might be sensed by them.

So, on the premise of keeping quiet, just try to stay as far away from them as possible?
Ai Weili's heartbeat finally stabilized a little, and it no longer seemed to break her breastbone.Even though Vero isn't back yet, at least she won't be hunted by these things, which is an improvement.

A soft "pop" made her raise her head abruptly.

For a moment, Ai Weili thought that something appeared next to her again; but when she saw the store clearly, she fell into a momentary daze—because she had never seen such a scene in her life before. For an instant, she couldn't comprehend at all what she was seeing.

In the convenience store, which has always been bright and bright, suddenly one block went dark.

It wasn't that the lights went out, but a part of the real space turned black as if it had been painted over.

The part of the area where the dining table and ice cream cabinet were placed was soaked in deep darkness; it seemed that what fell from the ceiling lampshade was no longer light, but substantial darkness.

The darkness took the shape of a cuboid, as if a piece of light had been cut from a convenience store and painted black.What Ai Weili couldn't understand the most was that that area was clearly immersed in pure and complete darkness, but she could still see its reflection on the glass—or, in other words, the reflection that that area should have been projected on the glass.

She craned her neck and narrowed her eyes.

The dining table, ice cream cabinet, and half of the shelves reflected in the glass reflection are as clear as before.At first she thought it was Willow who was sitting at the table.

However, Wei Luo's reflection still stayed on the glass of the door, and he frowned at this moment, not knowing if he had discovered something or was lost in thought.

Ai Weili looked at the woman at the table again.

The woman lowered her head all the time, slowly raised a hand, and then knocked it on the table heavily but silently.

Almost at the same time, Wei Luo on the glass at the door looked startled, turned his head towards the dining table in the reflection, and seemed to hear that non-existent voice—at the same time, in the store on Ai Weili’s side, there was another Once the light was restored; however, in the reflection, the woman at the table was still sitting quietly.

As if he couldn't see her, Wei Luo walked cautiously towards the dining table step by step.
