Wild Deer Convenience Store

Chapter 24 The Moment Before Leaving the Convenience Store

After Ai Weili's mobile phone was dialed off the cash register and disappeared soundlessly to the other side, after a few seconds, Ai Weili didn't hear anything again.

There was no persistent and weak voice of her brother; there was no sound of the phone hitting the ground.

It's like falling into a black hole.

She kept staring at the space behind the cash register, not knowing what she was waiting for, let alone what she was thinking.She couldn't force herself to go around the cash register to see what happened to that mobile phone—what happened to Ai Weide.

Everything that happened just now may be just a cover-up.Wei Luo said that strange things only happened in this small town, and it was just that the sound was transmitted to Ai Wende in Wild Deer Town.

Although he chose... he chose that baby, not Ai Weili.

What finally woke her up was a light tug on her wrist.

"We should go," Willow said in a low voice. "Maybe it's a trick to trick you into staying any longer... You should call him after you escape."

Yes... yes, it is too dangerous to stay in this place; Ai Weili wiped his cool and wet face vigorously, nodded, quickly found the key from his pocket, and prepared to lock the back door.

Wei Luo suddenly pulled her back.Ai Weili was startled, and just when he thought something was wrong, he met those shiny eyes.

"I understand," she whispered, "because people can't choose what kind of family they are born in...we are lonely."

If Ai Weili didn't turn around in time and walk towards the back door, she was afraid that she would cry—now is not the time to be vulnerable.

"Have you ever wondered why those things don't continue to see things through?"

Probably to distract her, Willow asked proactively.

"For example, the things you met when you walked through the 'dark area', didn't follow, did you?" Willow said. Like that cardboard man, he couldn't stop until he got us, we're probably dead by now."

Ai Weili wiped her eyes, for some reason she was able to speak eloquently when facing Wei Luo.Her eyes were fixed on the door lock, and she said as calmly as possible: "Don't give them advice, okay, you want to be their life coach?"

"But, it's really strange."

"It's a bit strange. Maybe they don't want to continue, but for some reason, there is no way to continue."

"Why?" Willow asked immediately.

"Then I have to ask them. But as far as I am concerned, if I say that I will never meet those things tonight again in my whole life, then it's okay even if I don't know the answer..." Ai Weili smiled and greeted She said, "The door is locked, we can finally leave this ghost place."

Wei Luo didn't have the slightest intention to stay half a minute longer, and strode up to follow.

"Where are you going next?" she asked.

Ai Weili has no answer, the outside world is so big, but there seems to be no place that belongs to her and where she can go.

She said with a little difficulty: "I'm leaving tonight... I always feel a little strange. Why is it safe outside, but there are still... and others in the store? I don't want to risk going back to the apartment, so I can go wherever I go. "

She could come back to pick up the things tomorrow during the day, or she could just give up the things altogether.

As Ai Weili said, she stopped at the gate and turned the "Open" sign over so that the "Closed" side faced outwards—this was the last bit of responsibility she could do.She reached out to pull the door, but she didn't pull it, and couldn't help saying "Huh?"

Willow said nothing.

"I can't open the door," she said a little nervously.

"Don't open the door," came a thin voice through the crack of the door.

Avery paused.

Her whole body tensed up.They were facing the glass door, through their vague reflection on the glass, Ai Weili could still see the diners, street lights, and occasional passing cars on the opposite side of the road, but he could only see what was outside the glass door Talking - there is no one outside the door.

"It's weird, isn't it," the voice sounded like an adult dubbing a child or an animal. "Didn't they try their best to trick you into opening the door before? You knew at the time that it would be bad to open the door, but why do you want to open the door now?"

"What should we do?" Ai Weili stared at the road outside the glass gate, and asked Wei Luo beside him in a breathless voice, "Should we go back first?"

However, Willow did not respond.

Was she stunned?

Ai Weili was about to turn his head to see if she was okay, but his attention was caught by the voice outside the door: "It's because Wei Luo told you that she went out once and it was safe outside. You believed her." , so you came to open the door, right?"

What does it mean?
After a short silence, she whispered, "You want to drive us apart? What are you?"

Wei Luo next to him didn't move or speak; even if she couldn't hear the voice from outside the door, she should have realized that Ai Weili had been standing at the door without moving. So why didn't she respond?

"I'm not something a living person can see," the voice sounded like a handful of needles being pinched together. "But I don't mean to harm you. I'm here to remind you of the weird things that will help you. Didn't you have them before? As for whether you believe what I'm going to say next, it's up to you to decide."

Ai Weili immediately thought of the telephone.

Outside the door, a car drove past, its taillights cast a red light in the night.

"Why did she come back so quickly?" The voice continued: "You were attracted by Apan at that time, you didn't watch her go out, and you couldn't see what happened to her on the way after she walked out of the convenience store , right? The person who went out was indeed a living person, the real Werro, and the person who came in ten minutes later was no longer the Werra who went out. Her life has long since ended."

"Think about it, the warning she heard on the phone is actually just her own statement, right? You didn't hear anything at the time, even if she was lying, you couldn't tell the difference, could you?"

"It's just you talking"

"Yes, yes, I was saying it. But don't you always score high in logic? Think about it, if the warning on the phone is false, Wellow is lying to you; if the warning on the phone is true ’ The voice seemed to lick a gum. "Then you have been separated. If you disobeyed the warning, misfortune will come naturally."

She suddenly understood.

"So, regardless of whether the warning on the phone is true or not, you shouldn't believe Vero at this time. This is the simplest logical reasoning, right?"

Ai Weili really wanted to move, and wanted to turn her head to look at Wei Luo beside her, but her neck seemed to be frozen; it seemed that her body had its own idea—as long as she didn’t look, she wouldn’t know; she didn’t know , which means nothing happened.

The voice sighed softly.

"Wei Luo is also a poor person. After her life was cut off suddenly, she returned to this convenience store in a daze. At the beginning, she didn't know that she was no longer a 'person', she When she saw that you were about to be swallowed by another thing, she rescued you, and at that time, she didn't understand why."

Why?Ai Weili opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"At that time, she thought she saved you just because she wanted you to live, but no. She was tricked out of the store by her to let you survive, and she went through what she had experienced before. Once. You see, she has never had a friend without a true 'soul mate' type of friend. When she meets a potential friend, even if it's to make the other person suffer the same fate as herself, then she can get A true 'friend'."

"Outside now," it obviously has no body, but it sounds like it licked its gums, and said slowly: "It's full of all kinds of weird things, waiting for her to take you out. You can see through Take a closer look at the glass door, do you see the diners on the other side of the road, the lights of the street lamps, and the cars passing by on the road, are they exactly the same as what you saw at first sight after the darkness disappeared?"

Yes.

Almost an hour has passed, but the diners on the opposite side are still the same group of people, doing the same behavior, eating the same dishes; every once in a while, the same car will pass by, and the taillights of the car will turn red in the night. Red light and shadow.It's like a scene in a movie, captured and played repeatedly.

Vero went into such nights and came back.

How did she do it?
"Wei Luo." Ai Weili stared at the crack in the door, and said in a trembling voice, "You, can you say a word?"

There was still deathly silence around.

"She can't." Said the thin voice through the crack of the door, "In order to remind you, this moment I created is independent of time. It's just a blink of an eye, don't you believe me?"

Ai Weili bit her lip and didn't make a sound—she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she wouldn't be able to control whether she was asking questions or screaming.

"You should believe in yourself, right? You were almost tricked into opening the door, and you woke up in time, knowing that you were the one who couldn't open the door." The voice said in a low voice, as if enlightening a child facing a problem. "It's you who can now look at the reflection of 'Wello' on the door."

yes, reflection
Ai Weili subconsciously turned his gaze a little bit, and his eyes stayed beside his own reflection, which is where Wei Luo should cast his reflection.

Willow's eyes, the eyes that had once been bright like fawns, looked back at her too.

The difference is that Wei Luo's head and neck have been twisted into an angle that a living person can't do; those eyes are looking at Ai Weili from the position of his chest at this time, as if still Silently calling for help.
