I open a bookstore in the human world

At ten o'clock this morning, the door of the legendary haunted villa on Ginkgo Road quietly opened, and the Shan'an Branch of Shadow Bookstore officially opened.

"Will there really be guests coming?" After waiting for half an hour, the new employee Huihui whispered to the new employee Peng Yan.

It has been half an hour since the door opened, and there is still no new customer in the store. The situation does not look good.

Peng Yan was the employee who used to work in the funeral home, and she was the only one among the three new employees who didn't believe in the rumors that the bookstore was haunted. She was more courageous than the remaining male employee Dai Yuhan.She said that she never believed in these gods and ghosts, otherwise she would not have chosen to work in a funeral home.

For this reason, Peng Yan seemed the calmest among the three new employees. While humming a little tune, she tidied up the already neat bookshelves, and casually comforted her colleagues, "What's the rush? It’s early in the morning, maybe everyone is on their way.”

Huihui opened her mouth, hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

Dai Yuhan sneered when he heard this, and said, "Right now, the rumors about our bookstore being haunted in Shan'an City are full of storms, and it's normal that no one dares to come."

He still didn't say a word: If he couldn't find a job after graduation, if it wasn't for the very good salary conditions of the shadow bookstore, he would not have come to a bookstore to apply for a clerk as a graduate of the finance department of a dignified university.

Dai Yuhan is also very unlucky. The current economic situation is not good, especially the layoffs in the financial industry are particularly severe. Let alone new employees, even the old employees have lost their jobs. How can he do it under such circumstances? Have you found a job that suits you?

Therefore, Dai Yuhan feels aggrieved when he chooses to be an employee of Shadow Bookstore, and his work attitude is not very positive.To be honest, if it wasn't for his good looks, and because it was difficult to recruit under such circumstances, Song Lan would not have wanted him at the beginning.

"Hush." ​​Huihui's face suddenly changed slightly, because she saw Song Lan walking this way, and immediately reminded her two colleagues, "Brother Song is here."

The three of them immediately fell silent, and greeted Song Lan together: "Good morning, Brother Song."

"Don't be cautious, everyone," Song Lan smiled kindly, "How about it, the first day of work, are you still used to it?"

The three of you looked at me and I looked at yours, but didn't speak - it's only opened for half an hour, and there is no customer, everyone is going to play tricks, what are you used to or not?

Song Lan also understood, and said with a smile: "I mean, are you still used to the working environment?"

working environment?Huihui froze for a moment, looked up at the clean and spacious interior filled with sunlight, and then glanced at the vibrant scene of flowers in the small garden outside the house, she was speechless for a while.

This working environment seems to be very different from what I expected in advance.

Unlike Peng Yan and Dai Yuhan, who graduated from a college and graduated from a university, Huihui came out to work before she even finished junior high school. Before she came to Shadow Bookstore, she did a lot of work as a waiter in a small restaurant, and her salary was not high. The work is heavy and often yelled at by the boss and customers.And because she looks good, she has encountered several harassments, including from the owner of the restaurant where she works.Because of this, she finally decided to quit her job as a waitress in a diner and find another job.

But now that it is difficult for even college graduates to find a job, how can Huihui, who only has a primary school diploma, find a better job?For her, it is not she who picks the job, but the job picks her.

At this moment, Huihui saw the recruitment advertisement of Shadow Bookstore.

The reason why Huihui chose to come to the Shadow Bookstore was not because she was not afraid of ghosts and did not believe in these supernatural things, but because she had no other choice.Most of the money earned from previous work × Xi × Du × Jia.She sent all the salary back to her hometown, and her younger siblings are still in school. As the eldest sister, she has no choice.The shadow bookstore has high wages and good treatment, and it is the best choice for her not to choose academic qualifications but only to look at appearance.

In fact, if it weren't for the shadow bookstore's "not so good reputation" in Shan'an City, the opportunity would not be for Huihui.

When she first came to apply for the job, Huihui's fellow villager had persuaded her, saying that this bookstore was haunted. If she came to work here, what would she do if she was caught by a ghost?Making money is very important, but you also need to spend your life!

I have to admit that the arrangement of Zheng Jun, Oumeng and his team has been very effective. At present, most people in Shan'an City believe that this bookstore is a very weird place. As long as they come, there must be something bad something happens.

But Huihui still chose to come. There was no other way. She needed money very much. Seeing that her younger brother was about to go to high school, and her younger sister was about to go to college, her parents were not in good health and couldn’t go out to work. The burden of the family was all on her shoulders. No matter how scared she is, she has to come.

At first, Huihui thought of the Shadow Bookstore as a very scary place, just like the one portrayed in the TV series, eerie: abandoned villas, blood-stained floors, lights that flicker on and off, and the faintness in her ears. There is the sound of typing on the keyboard...

However, it turns out that everything is not as expected.

Where are the dilapidated buildings?Only bright and spacious cottages.Where is the weird sound?There is only light music that seems to be flowing in the air.

All in all, all in all, Huihui has done so many jobs, and the working environment of Shadow Bookstore is the best among them, which makes her most satisfied.

After recovering from the memory, Huihui hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm used to it, I'm quite used to it."

The other two also nodded in agreement.

"That's good," Song Lan smiled, "If there's anything you're not used to, tell me or make yourself happy. In short, don't wrong yourself."

After Song Lan left, the three of them looked at each other, and Peng Yan was the first to break the silence: "Brother Song is really nice."

Huihui nodded, "It's a hundred times better than my previous bosses!"

Dai Yuhan also had to admit: "It seems to be so interesting..."

While speaking, there was a commotion outside the door.

"A guest is coming!" Huihui was the first to react, straightened her clothes, and greeted her with a smile.She is used to being a waiter, so she naturally knows how to serve.

Besides, she just received Song Lan's condolences, and she really wanted to perform well.

"Welcome to the light—" Half of the words were stuck in his throat, Huihui stood dumbly in place, unable to continue.

This, this is the wrong door, right?Looking at these young people in strange costumes, Huihui didn't know what to say.

Peng Yan followed up, also startled: "Are you... playing cosplay?"

There were five people standing in front of them, four men and one woman, all dressed strangely: someone was wearing a big black cloak with a long scythe in his hand; Looking around, there are several red handprints printed on the back... The only girl is wearing a western medieval witch costume, wearing a pointed hat, and carrying a strangely shaped broom in her hand.

No wonder Peng Yan thought they were playing cosplay, normal people don't dress like this when they go out.

"Excuse me, this is the shadow ghost—cough, is it the shadow bookstore?" The only girl said, her voice was quite sweet, which didn't match her slightly mature makeup.

Huihui hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Why is it different from the rumors?" The boy in the white T-shirt with red handprints looked around and frowned slightly.

What about the haunted house?What about the top ten haunted places in Shan'an City?They, a group of supernatural lovers, dressed up like this on purpose, didn't they just come to visit the "haunted house"?But now the scene in front of me is really different from what I expected...

"Different? What's different?" Huihui was at a loss.

Dai Yuhan frowned.He is the most educated among the three, and he can't be said to be the smartest, but he is also the quickest to react. He immediately had a guess: this group of people, probably think their bookstore is a haunted house, right?

Unknowingly, Dai Yuhan began to accept the fact that he was a member of the bookstore.

Peng Yan also understood the intentions of this group of people, and her face was a bit unfriendly—when she was working in a funeral home, there were some courageous young people who sneaked into the funeral home in the middle of the night, saying that it was a courage test, but given The security of the funeral home caused a lot of trouble, and she was sick of such people.

The boy dressed as the Grim Reaper seemed to be the head of the group of five people. He saw the clerk's displeasure, gave his teammates a wink, took a step forward, and asked politely, "Can we go in and have a look?" ?” He pointed to the inside of the villa.

It is said that you don’t hit people with smiling faces when you stretch out your hands. Besides, the visitors are customers. Although they are dressed a little strangely, they haven’t done anything out of the ordinary. How can someone who runs a bookstore drive away customers?

Taking a step back, the five people in front of me are still the first customers of the Shadow Bookstore Shan'an branch.

Although Huihui couldn't understand what these people were here for, she still enthusiastically said: "Of course." Then, she stuffed a small shopping basket into everyone's hands, and led the way, saying that she would show them around the bookstore.

The five really followed Huihui into the villa, leaving only Peng Yan and Dai Yuhan staring at each other.

"Then let's go in too?" Dai Yuhan hesitated for a moment and asked uncertainly.

Peng Yan smiled wryly: "I don't think those people are ordinary guests, why don't you go in and have a look, I'm afraid Huihui won't be able to handle it by herself."

Dai Yuhan also went in.

"Brother Xie?" Peng Yan turned around and saw Xie Daonian standing behind her with a small watering can, she was startled, "Watering the flowers?"

Xie Daonian smiled, as a default.

"By the way, Brother Xie, did you see that group of people just now?" Peng Yan hesitated for a moment, thinking it would be better to let the boss know about it, "I suspect that they came to the bookstore to—"

"You want to say that they didn't come to the bookstore, but took our bookstore as a haunted house to take risks?" Before Peng Yan finished speaking, Xie Daonian interrupted her with a smile, "It's okay, you don't have to worry too much."

"Ah?" Peng Yan froze in place, as if she didn't expect Xie Daonian to say that. "But, if they do something out of the ordinary..." She hesitated.

"No." Xie Daonian's tone was undeniably firm.

Peng Yan was taken aback, and she couldn't help nodding: "Okay, okay."

Strange to say, after getting along for a short period of time, Peng Yan discovered that although Xie Daonian usually doesn't talk much and doesn't get along with everyone, what's more amazing is that there seems to be an involuntary convincing in him. His strength, in the words of Dai Yuhan, who usually likes to read novels and animations, is "Brother Xie, he has the aura of domineering".

Although she was persuaded by Xie Daonian's affirmative tone, Peng Yan still couldn't erase the trace of worry in her heart. After a pause, she asked cautiously: "Then, brother Xie, can I ask a question? How did you confirm those people Surely you won't do anything out of the ordinary?"

These people are obviously "unfriendly people". Didn't you see that they brought tools (sickles, brooms)? If they really "catch ghosts" in the bookstore, those books will suffer.

When she was in the funeral home in the past, she had seen someone bring a bucket of dog blood, saying that it could ward off evil spirits...

Xie Daonian glanced at her, with a smile on his lips, and said slowly: "Because, our bookstore is not haunted at all."

The author has something to say:

Xie Daonian: The ghosts in our bookstore are very well-behaved, they can’t make trouble at all→_→
