Store Manager's Hell

...It seems that I did not confess my confession at the beginning, but I really made a big mistake.

Ah, that's too bad, I'm so sorry.

However, if I tell Zao Bai what I want now, I'm afraid they won't even have to be friends, right?

At least...he didn't want to lose Lu Zaobai completely, the person who could accept his yin and yang eyes and not treat him as a different kind, the person who made cheese puffs for him, and the person who carried him to the hospital when he had appendicitis. The next person, he Shu You's only friend in this life.

The only one who ever loved...

Shu You lay reclined on the fabric sofa, pulled out a pocky, and held it in his mouth like a cigarette. When he lowered and raised his eyes, all the gloom in his eyes dissipated, and he smiled softly:

"Okay, let's go."

……

After Shi Xing, who was making soy sauce all the time, came out of the pet shop, when he heard that that place was the secret base of Shu You and Lu Zaobai, he poured the vinegar bottle several times along the way, but he was still careful not to spill the vinegar. On Zao Bai's body, he only cares about twisting the cushion and sulks.

Lu Zaobai was speechless after watching the scene in the rearview mirror several times when he raised his injured hand and planed the seat cushion.

Brother, do you sharpen your claws?

He didn't speak, and Lu Zaobai also didn't speak, and he did his best to be his cold-faced little driver.

When the car stopped at the destination, Shi Xing still didn't come up with anything.

... Bai looked forward to the journey.

……Eh?No, what am I expecting?

Lu Zaobai felt that he was probably ill recently, and after washing his head with a cold face, he took out the key and opened the door.

After opening the door, Lu Zaobai didn't go in immediately, he turned his head and said to Shi Xing:

"Be prepared. It's a little scary."

Lu Zaobai opened the door only after Shi Xing expressed that he was ready.

Hundreds of well-dressed Japanese-style puppet dolls are placed on the opposite side of the door.

These dolls are basically handmade wooden dolls, their faces are uniformly painted, their lips are as bright as blood, their pupils are pitch-black, and they have different expressions, some crying, some laughing, some happy, some angry, and the skirts on their bodies are so delicate that people can’t bear to look away. , Even the cherry blossoms in early spring or late spring on the kimono are very detailed.

Other decorations are not as eye-catching as this batch of dolls, but I have to say that the atmosphere of the whole room is quite gloomy.

The wall is covered with photos, Shi Xing took a closer look at one, and Shi Xing was horrified.

They were a pair of foreign twins with similar appearance. Two blond-haired and blue-eyed little babies were sitting in the cradle holding hands, smiling innocently and happily, but on the tightly held hands of the two children, there was a third baby Poor little hands!

There is an English note next to it, to the effect that the hostess of this family was originally pregnant with triplets, but during delivery, the youngest child died of hypoxia due to the umbilical cord around the neck.

Side by side with this photo, there are several others, Shi Xing looked at them one by one, and the chill in his heart became more and more intense:

It's still the group photo of the twins. From elementary school, to junior high school, to university, in all their group photos, there will be a third pair of eyes, a third pair of hands, and a third pair of legs.

Shi Xing noticed that in the group photo, the faces of the two sisters became more and more gloomy, and their complexions became more and more gloomy. After they became adults, there were no more photos of the two of them together.

After Shi Xing looked at it for a while, he turned his head to look at Lu Zaobai, as if he had realized something.

Lu Zaobai was busy choosing among the pile of dolls, Shi Xing turned his attention to other decorations in the house.

In the right corner of the room, there are statues of Thai shrines, as well as amulets and ghost cards from Thai temples, with strange patterns painted on them. A huge wooden bookshelf occupies the entire wall, full of ghosts and ghosts. Relevant materials and books range from ancient Eastern and Western myths and legends, to medieval witch culture, and to research materials in recent years.A glass shelf against the wall was filled with strange objects, black donkey hooves, rooster blood, black dog blood.One of the slender glass bottles was filled with a clear and transparent liquid, and what floated in the liquid was a woman's hair.

When Lu Zaobai was looking for a gap, he turned his head occasionally, and couldn't help turning his face away when he saw the stunned look.

When he bought these things back then, his mood was probably the same as that of Shi Xing.

Nausea, resistance, feeling that I have entered a world that is completely different from normal people.

In those days, if he didn't have Shu You by his side, he might not be able to survive.

Shi Xing's gaze finally settled on the rows of dolls, and the dolls stared straight at him with eyes as black as dots of ink.

After staring at it for a long time, Shi Xing actually had an illusion:

In their eyes, it seems that there is emotion?

After noticing the change in Shi Xing's expression, Lu Zaobai suddenly felt that it was not good to bring him here.

This is just the surface layer of that dark world, and he only has a half-knowledge about it now, so he finds it fun, if...

Before Lu Zaobai had time to finish his sigh, Shi Xing proved by himself that he was stupid for worrying about Shi Xing:

"Zaobai, you like dolls, can I buy them for you next time?"

... Can you still focus on it?

Lu Zaobai, who was instantly freed from his micro-depression, threw Shi Xing out of the door, picked out a male doll in an indigo Japanese-style robe, held it in his hand, and squeezed it vigorously.

Standing outside the door, Shi Xing breathed a sigh of relief: Well, sure enough, as long as I make jokes, Zao Bai's mood will be better.

Lu Zaobai also walked out of the door at this time, locked the door, and said:

"Okay, get your things, let's go home."

Shi Xing looked at the doll in Zaobai's hand, feeling a little strange:

"Zaobai, what is this for?"

Lu Zaobai got into the car, fastened his seat belt, and explained to Shi Xing without looking back:

"Puppets, in short, are used to accommodate those lonely souls without owners."

Shi Xing turned the doll upside down and said clearly:

"Oh~ that gourd of the gourd baby."

Lu Zaobai: "..."

#It’s okay to understand so well, but why is it so embarrassing to say it#

Lu Zaobai didn't want to talk to this bastard anymore, and always felt inexplicably angry, but in view of the danger of this mission, after silently reciting the Heart Sutra a few times, Lu Zaobai still maintained a normal heart and continued to popularize science:

"I bought this set of puppets from a professional craftsman at a high price."

"Have you turned on the light?"

... Can you shut up while I'm popularizing science?

Lu Zaobai didn't intend to stop any longer, otherwise he might be easily pissed off during the period, so he took a deep breath, and continued without stumbling along the way:

"It's not for the Buddha, it's not for people, it's an item for suppressing ghosts. The hair is the hair of the dead, the material is the shroud, and, you see, the wax on its body is extracted from corpse oil. from."

The world is quiet.

Shi Xing shut up.

Without someone's nagging, Lu Zaobai turned the steering wheel and said leisurely:

"It sounds disgusting, but it is really useful. I have used it many times, and it is very effective. It is most suitable for sealing incorporeal ghosts like nightmares. Take it into a different world, as long as you find the source of ghost birth , put it there, and it will be successfully sealed."

Shi Xing put the doll aside, rubbed his body in the direction of Lu Zaobai, and said:

"really?"

Lu Zaobai nodded and said:

"I tried it myself. Didn't you notice that among the hundreds of dolls, there are more than [-] dolls with brighter eyes than others?"

A chill suddenly rushed up Shi Xing's back.

He hesitated and asked in a low voice:

"You mean, they...in them..."

Lu Zaobai glanced at the rearview mirror and said calmly:

"Since I took up the task, I have encountered more than 70 disembodied ghosts, of which 23 are in those dolls."

Right in those dolls staring at them.

Finding that the co-pilot was not moving, Lu Zaobai thought that Shi Xing was nauseated, so he stopped the car at a traffic light, turned around, and wanted to show his humanitarian spirit to see if he wanted to vomit. Unexpectedly, he Before he could turn around completely, a pair of powerful arms wrapped around his neck.

Shi Xing rubbed against Zaobai's neck and whispered:

"If you encounter such a thing in the future, you must tell me, don't be bored alone."

He felt sorry for Zabai.He couldn't stop the system from letting Zaobai meet so many evil ghosts, but he sincerely hoped that Zaobai would not be deprived of smiles and happiness like those sisters.

Lu Zaobai sighed softly, and just about to say something, Shi Xing interrupted him with an unprecedented forceful attitude:

"Don't say you are used to it! You don't need to get used to this kind of thing in the future! You just need to get used to me being with you!"

Lu Zaobai was stunned for a moment, and felt his lips being pecked lightly by something soft and warm.

What he said just now was still in his ears, a burst of warmth softened Lu Zaobai's heart several times, he forgot his feelings for a moment, and at the moment when he left softly, he subconsciously rubbed forward.

After successfully capturing that touch of softness again, Lu Zaobai crashed.

……and many more.

blah blah blah blah.

What are you doing?

Lu Zaobai wanted to convince Shi Xing that it was a friendly kiss that symbolized eternal friendship, but it was too late.

After a brief silence, Shi Xing's eyes lit up in a flash, and the husky halo floating on his head could basically be used as a light bulb if he hung it up:

"Zaobai...you..."

If he didn't feel wrong just now, he would have taken the initiative in vain?He took the initiative?

Oh, the world is so beautiful!

The dark side of the world and triplet ghosts all go to reincarnate!

The bullet screen of "Zaobai kissed me" in capital letters kept swiping in Shi Xing's mind, which caused Shi Xing's brain, which belonged to the Pentium 498 level, to crash immediately.

Lu Zaobai maintained absolute calm on the face, turned his head to start the car after the red light came on, but in his heart he had already slapped himself [-] times.

Is it possible that I was really seduced by his two sweet words?Fallen?Take the initiative to deliver food to your door?

Lu Zaobai, calm down, you can't be led astray by Shi Xing's love brain!

Shi Xing, who originally wanted to appease Zaobai and had a wretched heart to eat tofu, unexpectedly got Lu Zaobai's initiative to offer a kiss. If he were not in the car now, he would probably break through the speed of the second universe and go to the sky. up.

He eagerly grabbed Lu Zaobai's arm, his eyes were shining brightly:

"Zaobai, do you like me too?"
