Looking at it now, the rust on it actually seems to be looking directly at me, like heads looking at me.

I turned my head and stopped looking. At this time, the number of customers had gradually increased, which was obviously much better than the business at night. I didn't have the chance to continue chatting with Zhang Xiaofeng, but I had already asked enough questions.

In the evening, when I handed over to Zhang Xiaofeng, he warned me again not to open the door of the storage room and not to leave the supermarket door after midnight.

After I agreed, I felt a little scared. The 10,000 yuan was indeed very impressive, but my life was more important.

Time passed slowly, and the number of customers decreased just like yesterday. After taking care of the last customer, I stretched my body and came to the door of the storage room.

The iron door was rusty, and the handle was rarely opened. I walked over and gently put my hand on it, intending to pull it open.

"Don't open the door!" A voice suddenly sounded behind me, startling me.

I don’t know when, but a sturdy man stood behind me. He was wearing a Chinese tunic suit. He was about twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old. He had a green beard and a white face. He seemed quite attractive at first glance.

"There is a ghost here, and he is trying to confuse people. Fortunately, I'm here, young man, otherwise you would be dead if you opened it." The strong man slowly took my hand from the door and said.

"Who are you?" My heart was churning, and I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Because I had clearly warned myself before that I must never get close to the door of this storage room, but just now I almost opened it.

Do ghosts confuse people? Are there really ghosts in this world?

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Lai, a Taoist priest from Nanshan. I came here after hearing others say that there have been several murders in this place this year." The strong man said with a chuckle.

"Let's go to the counter and talk. I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the temptation later, and you'll be in trouble if you open the door again."

I nodded and followed him to the counter. This guy actually picked up several bags of chips along the way and started eating them without asking me.

Seeing him eating so much, I thought to myself, must this guy be a Taoist priest? He shouldn't be the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

"Eight yuan for one bag, thirty-two yuan for four bags!" I took a bag of French fries, scanned the code, and said to him.

"Ahem, young man, you are not doing this right. I just saved your life." Xu Lai put the three bags of French fries back with some distress.

"A total of two people have died in this place. The first one is Zhou Hai, a sixty-year-old man. He fed all the flesh and bones of his grandson to his relatives and friends. The second one is named Zhang Xiaofeng. He witnessed his death with his own eyes.

His wife and daughter died in the cement, you know all this, right?" Xu Lai said while eating.

I nodded, but suddenly I felt something was wrong. What was the name of the second unlucky person? His name was... Zhang Xiaofeng?

"Zhang Xiaofeng is still on duty during the day. I just met him today, and he told me this story." I asked in confusion: "How can he still be able to go to work after his own wife and daughter are dead?"

"Is he still working?" After hearing what I said, Xu Lai suddenly frowned and said, "Zhang Xiaofeng is also a poor man. Evil ghosts harm people, but this ghost didn't expect me to come here."

"I'm going to prepare some things now. You must not open this door or go to the door before I come back." Xu Lai warned me and walked out of the door.

"Why should I listen to you? Why are you so crazy? I haven't paid you yet." I turned around and saw that Xu Lai had taken away the four packs of French fries on the table.

Apart from his visible face, he looks like a charlatan.

But is the Zhang Xiaofeng he mentioned really the night shift waiter No. 174 before Zhou Hai?

So why did Zhang Xiaofeng change his story to another person to tell me?

Xu Lai is also a poor man. Does this mean that he once opened the door of the storage room and was bewitched by the ghost inside?

As I was thinking about it, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the door on the left. The rust stains on it looked like a human face.

When I was in college, I had a theory of the uncanny valley. If a doll or a robot looks like a human, you will think it is good-looking and cute. But when it reaches a zero point and becomes closer and closer to a human, you will feel it.

Your goodwill will drop instantly, and you may even feel fearful.

I feel the same way at this moment. The rusty iron looks like human faces hanging on the iron door, still smiling at me.

I turned my head and stopped looking. It was better to wait for Xu Lai to come back first. He might actually be able to solve this matter.

I found a bell and hung it at the door. When someone opens the door and comes in, the bell will ring. The sound is not loud, but it is enough to be heard.

When it was approaching twelve o'clock, I was dozing off, and the bell rang for a while, and suddenly the little girl came again.

"I want Bangbang, big brother, give me two."

"It's not good to eat sweets at night. Why don't your parents come with you?" I handed her two lollipops.

The little girl didn't answer me. She turned around and walked to the shelf. As she walked, she said, "I'll get some more snacks."

She walked near the second row of shelves, and I looked at her feet. There was only one shoe on her feet, which was exactly the same as the embroidered shoe I picked up in the supermarket yesterday. Her parents didn't let this little girl wear it when she went out.

Shoes?

The shoe is still at the entrance of the supermarket. I will tell the little girl to pick it up later.

I looked at it, and suddenly cold sweat broke out from my body. From my angle, I could just see the gap between the shelves.

And through the gap, there is actually no... no head on the neck of this little girl... only half of her body is walking around on the shelf. The flesh and blood can be seen on it, and it is still tumbling. It seems that the trachea inside is...

General panting.

I was so frightened that I fell to the ground and slowly supported the counter to stand up. When I looked over there, the little girl actually had a head again and smiled at me through the gap.

"I stayed up too late and saw the wrong thing??" I couldn't believe everything I saw.

The little girl came over with a large armful of snacks. I took a deep breath and calculated the total amount.

"Forty-three, plus two lollipops, a total of forty-four yuan." I felt that this number was too unlucky, especially when I thought of the scene just now and looked at the makeup on the little girl's face in front of me, which seemed to be worse than yesterday.

It's still thick, as if it's stained with a layer of white wax.
