Hyakki grocery store

"According to the agreed content, I will re-wind this doll, so that she can continue to move for three months." Boss Bai said, but he didn't do anything immediately, but looked at the Ke family couple, " Or, the two of you can choose to stop trading immediately, and the store will also be responsible for recycling the doll."

"This is not a puppet, it's our daughter!" Ke's mother couldn't help crying, and turned to lean on Ke's father, "Even if it's just a thought, let this child stay with us Bar!"

"Actually, we also know that it is not a good thing to keep this child by our side, but since Ke Lan's death, my wife's mood has been very unstable, and she even did stupid things at one time." As the pillar of the Ke family, the Ke family Dad spoke more calmly, "Our family had a very happy time with this child, so please rest assured, Boss Bai."

"In this case, let's continue the transaction." Boss Bai said, putting his hand on the wind-up key behind the doll, "As the 'fuel' to make the doll move, I will start from the two as agreed. Three months of life are taken away from each of them."

"Thank you." As the white ghost kept turning the wind-up key, the Ke family couple seemed a little tired, but they still had a satisfied smile on their faces.

"Crack." With the last sound, Boss Bai hid the wind-up key back in the puppet's body, and a golden-red flame appeared on his fingertips. Wherever the flame went, the cut skin began to heal quickly. returned to its original state.

"...Remember to buy Boss Bai a cup of tea!" After everything was over, the puppet named "Ke Lan" immediately started to move, and finished what he hadn't said before with a smile, "Every time Boss Bai used to He came and went in a hurry, and I didn't even have a good chat with him."

The girl smiled sweetly, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and her eyes were even more agile. She didn't look like a doll that needed to be wound up.

"I suddenly have some urgent matters here, so I may need to take a step first." Boss Bai said, smiling apologetically at Ke Lan.

"By the way." Boss Bai pretended to ask casually, and his expression was controlled very naturally, "Mr. Ke works in the Bai Group, right?"

"It's just helping the president with some miscellaneous chores." Ke's father nodded.

"I heard that the president of the Bai Group finally has an heir?" When Bai Gui asked this question, his voice was dry for some reason.

"Yeah, after all, the legendary eldest son has passed away in a car accident for many years. The president and his wife have been sad for so long, and finally we have good news." Ke's father also seems to be happy for the president of the Bai family, "Little son It's healthy and cute, and it made those two breathe a sigh of relief."

"It's really good news." Boss Bai didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were a little sad, and he directly took the hand of little girl Yun Mianmian and turned around.

"No need to send it away, I will come back in three months."

The Ke family didn't keep Bai Gui and Yun Mian, and they didn't want the boss Bai to spend too much time with Ke Lan. Even seeing each other every three months was enough to make them tremble with fear.

But what the Ke family couple didn't see was that Ke Lan standing behind them was looking at Boss Bai's back with a very strange look.

Ke Lan bit her lower lip lightly, and quietly clenched her hands into fists...

But in the end, she still did nothing.

"It's a loss-making business." After walking out of the apartment building, Yun Mianmian couldn't help complaining, "The dolls we provided in the store didn't even receive a single price."

"The Ke family has been giving their lives, isn't it enough?" Boss Bai patted the rabbit hood on Yunmian's head.

"That's to make the puppet move. In the end, we still have nothing." The little follower flattened his mouth aggrieved.

"Ah, isn't that strawberry ice cream very delicious?" Boss Bai suddenly changed the subject and raised his mouth.

"Where is it!" And the little follower was immediately taken away, "Boss, I want to eat strawberry ice cream!"

After Yun Mian returned to the grocery store with a strawberry ice cream cone in one hand, Bai Gui turned on the TV and asked him to sit there and watch cartoons quietly.Then, Boss Bai walked to the other side of the shop.Between the shop and the back room, there is a staircase leading to the basement. The White Ghost did not turn on the lights on the stairs, and walked down step by step. His dark red eyes seemed to flash a golden light in the darkness.

The basement is an area that even Yun Mian has never entered. At the same time, there is also a big secret belonging to the "white ghost" hidden in the basement.

The basement has a large space, and it is divided into two different spaces. On the left are many rows of safe-like lattice cabinets, neatly arranged like the bookshelves of a library.

On the right hand side of the white ghost, there are also rows of shelves, but on those ordinary shelves are dolls and dolls in different postures, sitting or lying down, male or female, old or young.

Among these dolls, some have already painted exquisite makeup, while some faces are still blank, some are finished products, and some are incomplete semi-finished products.

This is the warehouse of Hyakki General Store.

Boss Bai didn't stop in front of those grid cabinets, nor did he go into the shelves of dolls, but just walked all the way to the deepest part of the warehouse.

It looked like a small tea party, a small table surrounded by a three-seater sofa and two single sofas, which was very different from the atmosphere of the entire warehouse.

And on that three-seater sofa, there are three people sitting... no, it should be said that they are three lifelike dolls!

The puppet on the far left has neat short hair, and its appearance can only be regarded as ordinary. With ordinary black eyes, wearing a pair of glasses, it looks gentle, and coupled with a school uniform, it looks like an obedient student studying hard. Baby.

The doll in the middle has a handsome appearance, with slightly longer hair than the one on the left, wearing a suit that has been burned to pieces, but there are no traces on the face, with a pair of light brown eyes and slightly sad makeup.

The doll on the far right looks like an artist, with shoulder-length hair tied into a small braid. Its appearance is better than the previous two dolls. It can be said to be handsome, but its eyes are bright red similar to Yun Mian.The doll is wearing a plain coat and sweater, has a smiling face, and holds a violin in his hand.

There is a shocking secret hidden in these three puppets, that is... each of them is made by the white ghost in his own image!

Each one is Boss Bai himself!

At the beginning, Boss Bai was such an inconspicuous student, and some people even questioned why parents with outstanding looks would give birth to children with such a popular face.

Until the white ghost experienced his first death and first rebirth, he became the puppet in the middle.

Later, he died again and was reborn as a third doll.

After his third death, he was reborn into his present form...

Every time he is reborn, the white ghost will undergo a transformation.

Every time he is reborn, the color of the white ghost's eyes will change.

With each rebirth, the white ghost's hair grows longer, and no matter how it is trimmed, it will return to its original shape the next day.

Every time he is reborn, the appearance of the white ghost will become better than the last time.

With each rebirth, the White Ghost becomes stronger and able to do more unbelievable things!

Just like... Phoenix Nirvana...

But the white ghost didn't know, what is he who has experienced three rebirths now?Is it a human or a ghost?Or a monster that is neither human nor ghost?

Behind the sofa and directly in front of the white ghost is an ancient mirror with a long history.From that mirror, the white ghost can see his own face that makes it difficult to distinguish his gender. This face is more delicate than the faces of the three dolls. The long black hair has reached his waist, and his eyes have become inhuman. of dark red.

Suddenly, the White Ghost, who had always been fearless and felt that he had experienced all the bad things, began to feel a little confused.

If you die again?What will become of it?

Quietly closing his eyes, Boss Bai decided to seal this question in his heart, then turned around and walked to the shelf next to the dolls, and after picking out a semi-finished doll, he walked out of the basement directly. On the upward stairs, lightly lifted.

After bringing the semi-finished doll to the store, Bai Gui sat down next to Yun Mianmian and began to outline the facial features for the doll with the tools on the coffee table.

It was at this time that Bai Gui and Yun Mian both noticed that there was a person hovering in front of the grocery store, pacing back and forth, looking a little nervous.

It was a young man wearing glasses, looking gentle, carrying a big schoolbag, which looked a little broken, and holding a photo that was not clear from a distance in his hand.After seeing Boss Bai and Yun Mian looking over, the young man with glasses walked in with his head poking around.

"Excuse me, is this... the Hundred Ghosts Grocery Store?" The young man with glasses didn't seem very sure.

"Welcome." Boss Bai didn't stop the drawing in his hands, but pointed to the young man with his free left hand at the single sofa next to him, which was a special place for entertaining guests.

The folded yarn and lace on the skirt of Bai Gui's lower body outline a perfect arc on the long legs. If the upper body is not designed like a cheongsam and the chest line can't be seen at all, it is estimated that no one will be able to tell the true gender of Boss Bai.

God knows what happened to Boss Bai after the third rebirth, which made this good young man suddenly have a hobby of women's clothing.

The young man with glasses hesitated at first, but after standing at the door for a while, he tried to take a deep breath, plucked up the courage to come in, and sat down on the sofa pointed by the white ghost. His generous expression seemed to be buried under the sofa. Like a land mine that explodes when touched.

"How do customers know about Hundred Ghosts Grocery Store?" Because Boss Bai never bothered to advertise his store, he was always curious about the customers who came to him specially.

"Someone told me that as long as you prepare enough money, you can realize your wish in the grocery store and buy what you want." The young man said and straightened his glasses. , as if it will be disconnected again in the next second.

"What do you want to buy?" Boss Bai took the time to wipe the little servant's mouth with a tissue.

"I... want to find someone!" The young man breathed heavily, "I hope the boss can sell me the whereabouts of that person."

As he spoke, the young man glanced at the puppet in Bai Gui's hands, then handed the photo he had been holding on to Boss Bai, and put the ragged schoolbag he was carrying on the ground, and unzipped it, revealing that it was full of stuff. banknotes!

Seeing so much cash all of a sudden, Yun Mian opened his mouth slightly, apparently not expecting this seemingly poor guest to carry so much money with him, it's really unbelievable.

Boss Bai's expression was as usual, his dark red eyes looked at the slightly wrinkled photo in his hand, and his long eyelashes cast two fan shadows, making it hard to see Bai Gui's eyes clearly.

The photo shows a girl standing in front of a famous scenic spot. She wears rustic clothes and an ordinary ponytail. Her appearance is barely cute, but her straight waist and confident smile make the girl in the photo look more imposing. , Generally speaking, it looks like a certain female student president who was born in poverty in a university.

"Sorry." A few seconds later, Boss Bai handed back the photo, "I'm afraid this deal won't work."

"Why?!" The young man got up anxiously from the sofa, "I haven't said anything yet. How can you just push the business out when you don't understand anything?"

The white ghost didn't answer, but raised his head and quietly looked at the young man in front of him.The young man in front of him seemed to regard this silence as a concession from Boss Bai, so he breathed a sigh of relief and introduced himself——

"My name is Wang Quan, and I'm from Phoenix City next door." The young man pushed his glasses again, "This is my girlfriend Zhongqin in the photo, the bell of the clock, the qin of the sound of the zither, she has been missing for four full years. "
