Wild Deer Convenience Store

Chapter 9 Questionnaire Survey
"……think carefully,"

When pushing open the back door of the convenience store, Ai Weili said loudly: "It seems unreasonable to leave the store and run away halfway through. Let's leave after I finish my shift."

She could hear it herself, her voice trembling slightly.

Although he had the car keys and mobile phone with him, all of Ai Weili's money, documents, mobile phone chargers, and a change of clothes were in the upstairs apartment—the apartment where the lights were suddenly turned off when he saw them coming.

When she left in the afternoon, none of the lights in the apartment were on.In the room with no curtains, the lighting is very good, and there is no need to turn on the lights.

After the sound fell in the corridor, Wei Luo was the first person to react.

When she tugged on Ai Weili's clothes several times and signaled her to go back to the store with her, Ai Weili's gaze still seemed to be trapped in the darkness behind the door, and he couldn't get it out.No matter how she looked at it, in the empty darkness behind the door, there was indeed "no one" as the sweet voice said.

Therefore, when they stared at the door of the building and walked backward step by step, no one persuaded them to go back, no one opened the door and walked out to follow them.

It was less than 5 minutes before seven o'clock, and Ai Weili had no choice but to keep going until she could leave and Wei Luo could go home.

The two women sat down at the empty table, facing each other, and were back on either side of the old telephone; for a while neither knew what to say.

Outside the glass window beside them, there was a solid blackness, almost as if someone had poured a large piece of black metal along the convenience store and blocked it inside.

The silent air gradually settled down, pressing on their skins, making people's breathing unknowingly shallow.In the convenience store that was blocked by darkness, it was as if it had been cut off from the world and sank into the deep sea; in this small piece of the store that was pressed under the deep sea alone, even the air pressure was unbearable. breathe.

"Ah, it's seven o'clock," Ai Weili announced in a low voice when he checked the time for the third time.

Wero subconsciously turned his head out of the window, and the clear and complete reflection of Wero on the glass window also turned his head towards her; the eyes of one person and one reflection met together.

I don't know why, but the outside of the store is still as dark as solid, and there is no sign of dissipating.This time, Ai Weili didn't even have to venture back to the apartment to check the situation.

What should we do now?
She couldn't really leave without asking for anything, could she?

"It's the town's custom to go out for activities after seven o'clock?" Ai Weili asked as if begging for comfort, "It's either on time or seven o'clock, more or less, earlier or later."

"That's right," Unexpectedly, Wei Luo seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, "It's not driving a tram, how can it be so accurate."

"I'm really worried that you hold on to every word I say like this," Ai Weili couldn't help but said. "As a local, you should know better..."

"Is this the time to complain about me? It's also the first time for me—" Wei Luo stopped himself in time, and said, "It's also the first time for me to return after seven o'clock in the evening, um, sitting in a convenience store with someone I just met chat."

It was hard for her to speak out directly, so she simply turned her palms and compared her around.The old phone sat on the table holding its breath; on the glass, Willow's reflected hand brushed past her fingertips.

Ai Weili really hated the shadow on the glass.

From the corner of her eyes, she always felt that the shadows moved when they were not moving, or the movements were a little slower than theirs, as if there were two actors who looked exactly like them, pretending to be their shadows, sitting together On both sides of the table with telephones and Coke, Zhang imitated their every move, but couldn't be completely synchronized.

However, every time she looked over, there was only her own gaze, coming up at the same time, and there was nothing wrong with the reflection.

"At twelve o'clock, someone will take over the shift," Ai Weili quickly turned his eyes away, and stopped looking at his other self on the glass. "So, at most, five hours later"

"Or before that, there will be other guests," although Willow said so, but there was no hope on his face.

For some reason, her current complexion is much uglier than when she saw the gray and white naked man just now.

She couldn't think of the same thing as herself, could she?Ai Weili thought a little uneasy.

It's already past seven o'clock now, but the strangeness surrounding the convenience store doesn't seem to dissipate at all. This doesn't conform to the dark rules that everyone in the town knows well.But the small town is still going about its daily life as usual—the only difference is probably the external factor of Ai Weili.

She broke the principles of the town, and now she is trapped in the store by a strange thing. It is very likely that Wei Luo just happened to be unlucky and was implicated by her.

Do you want to discuss it with Willow?But no one will be happy if someone gets involved... If Wei Luo's anger is directed at her, then it will be really uncomfortable and embarrassing.

"Oh," Wei Luo sighed, picked up the Coke on the table, opened the bottle cap with a "chi" sound, and muttered, "Why did this happen?"

The hissing sound of carbon dioxide rapidly escaping from the tank made Ai Weili suddenly raise her head—in front of her vision was the Coke bottle that had been lifted into the air and was approaching her lips; Same with a Coke bottle.Inside and outside the glass, there are two white "CocaCola", which are slightly tilted towards the sides in a figure-eight shape.

She didn't know what she was thinking at that moment. When the Coke in Wei Luo's hand was about to touch her lips, Ai Weili's arm seemed to have self-awareness, and suddenly rushed out like lightning, hitting Knocking the Coke away from her hand, the brown liquid made a long arc in the air—"Don't drink it!"

The Coke hit the ground with a "boom"; Wei Luo sat on the spot in a daze, his empty hand still resting near his mouth, and his shoulders were splashed with a few drops of Coke.

"Yes, I'm sorry," Ai Weili said quickly, "Did I hit you?"

"What are you doing? Can't I drink and pay?" Wei Luo said, shaking his hands.

"No," Ai Weili quickly glanced at the Coke bottle on the ground, which was gurgling with brown-black liquid, and said, "It's not because of the money, where did this Coke come from?"

"You didn't take—" Willow stopped before finishing his sentence.

"Didn't you finish the can I brought you? The trash on the table was cleaned up." Ai Weili lowered his voice and said, "After that, you also know that we will go out and come in together. When will I Go to get a Coke? When did you go to get a Coke? Obviously no one has it?"

She really didn't want to touch the bottle of Coke, but she still had to kick it with her toe, so that the label was completely exposed in front of her eyes.

"Don't look at the bottle, tell me from memory... In what direction does the line of Coca-Cola in English lean?"

Wei Luo turned his eyes away and thought for a while: "The right side."

When the two focused their eyes on the Coke bottle, the line of words seemed to be tilting their heads to the left to look at their eyes.

"When we sat down, the table was empty and there was nothing but a telephone."

As Ai Weili spoke, he somewhat understood why that "tall and fat man" went back to the store to buy her a Coke.It's the real person who comes to the store to buy Coke for the first time, right?He saw the abnormality on the Coke bottle, so he refused to buy it; and the "tall and fat man" who came back to the store for the second time...

"No, you may remember wrongly," Wei Luo seemed to have not noticed that there was an extra person in the reflection on the glass.She frowned and said, "I remember seeing this bottle of Coke after I sat down, let me think about it"

After a few seconds, she also turned her head slowly towards the glass window.

Wero's reflection also turned towards her.

It was not only their own reflections that met their eyes.A tall, fat, vague figure of a man huddled tightly into a ball, was squatting under the reflection of the table, and slowly poked his neck out a little.

Ai Weili bit the inner wall of his mouth tightly, trying not to scream, and quickly swept under the real table - there was no one there.

Wei Luoteng jumped up, took two steps back, and almost hit the shelf behind her; after she hurriedly held back the product that almost fell, she seemed to realize that there was no one under the table beside her.

After taking a breather, Willow said, "The first time I saw that bottle of Coke, it was there."

She and Reflection raised a hand at the same time, pointing to the table.

Ai Weili's heart sank—isn't it?Can't you say that?
When they sat down, the table was empty; and the first time Willow saw the Coke on the table, was it in the reflection in the window?
Isn't this the same as pointing out an anomaly?

"It's definitely true," Wei Luo looked down at the Coke can at his feet, and said, "I first saw a bottle of Coke on the table in the reflection, and then I saw it on the table, so I didn't doubt it."

"Wei Luo," Ai Weili called out, "Stop talking!"

Willow gave her a wry smile in return. "It's at this time, do you think it makes sense for me to avoid talking about it? Maybe I shouldn't remind you, I thought I had already spoken very cryptically, but it seems that I have also broken the principles of the small town .Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why I would be stuck here as well."

Ai Weili looked at her, as if his throat was being clenched. "I'm sorry."

"In life, you can't escape when you step on dog shit." Wei Luo didn't look at her, bent down and picked up the Coke bottle with his fingertips, and carefully looked into the bottle. "But what's the point of you rushing to apologize? You blacked out the glass? You pretended to be the naked man? You did the shit?"

Ai Weili opened her mouth, but was unable to say anything again - but this time the silence seemed to be different from what she had experienced before.

Once he decided to let go of talking, Vero was really a man who dared to speak up.

"The shit in this town has nothing to do with you. If you want to pursue responsibility, you should blame the town for turning a blind eye to what should not have happened. Of course, I am one of them." She started from the coke He couldn't see the name, so he simply threw it into the trash can and said, "So, thank you, don't act like a terrorist organization that is eager to become famous, as soon as you see a terrorist attack, claim responsibility for it. "

It was not until half a minute later that Ai Weili connected the nerves in his brain.She grabbed a pack of papers from the shelf and whispered as she wiped the floor, "But maybe I got you in trouble"

"Then you can catch these ghost things and apologize to me." Wei Luo said, turned around, and looked at the glass window again.

In the reflection of the glass, the table is empty.

At this moment, every move of the two is faithfully and clearly reflected on the glass; it is like the most common mirror, no matter how long you stare at it, the reflection of the two will not change.

"Let's go and sit behind the cashier," Ai Weili suggested because he really didn't want to continue sitting next to Reflection.

She dragged a chair over, and the two of them sat together in the small space behind the cash register, crowded together, feeling a little more secure because of the warm people and limbs around them.The clock was facing the two of them, and in their anxiety of not being able to find a foothold, they walked slowly forward.

After sitting down, nothing happened for several minutes, and Ai Weili couldn't help but start to have self-doubt: Did she really see the reflection of the tall and fat man just now?Didn't Vero say nothing?Maybe it's just a Coke with the wrong label, maybe it's still very precious...

The store is full of products, so she must be sure that there was no Coke on the table just now?
At one moment she felt a little silly, at another moment she felt a little embarrassed, at another moment she refused to continue denying her eyes; Ai Weili absent-mindedly folded the corner of the detective novel, her eyes always lingering on the clock.

"It was you first, and then me. It seems that the bottle of Coke really wants to enter the human body." Beside her, Wei Luo asked in a low voice. "What do you think would happen if I drank a Coke?"

Ai Weili has been trying not to think about this question; what's more, she really has no answer.

"Don't use such a strange way of expression," she said, feeling Willow glance at her beside her.

Wait a minute, how did Willow know that he was facing the situation of drinking that bottle of Coke...?
Willow didn't finish his question.

"If I drink Coke, which of the following consequences do you think will occur?" She continued, "One, very positive consequences; two, relatively positive consequences; and three, neither good nor bad consequences."

Ai Weili slowly turned his head towards the person next to him.

Willow's eyes met hers—her mouth was tightly shut, her face was pale.

And the voice is still floating in the air, at first it seems a bit like Willow, but as it speaks more, the voice becomes more and more absurd, like an imitation that is too hard: "Fourth, the more negative as a result of"

Wei Luo couldn't help covering his mouth, looked at Ai Weili without blinking, and shook his head desperately.

"Or, five, the consequences that none of you want to see?"

　Yelu Convenience Store is too short, Chapter 9 will enter V... (It will be over within two days!)
