Survival Paradox [Infinite]

This is a trendy sports brand with dark elements as its selling point. The logo is a skull with bat wings.

Xu Weiming clearly remembered that there were two models in the window just now, one was a skeleton playing golf in oversized sportswear, and the other was a ghost carrying a baseball bat.

But now, the ghost has disappeared.

There was only a lone skeleton left in the window, with a dangling coat hanging on the empty skeleton, and two black teardrops were drawn under the deeply sunken eyeholes.

"Disappeared?" Wei Chi frowned.

"That's right, there used to be a..." Xu Wei was gesturing with Wei Chi about the ghost in the window, but suddenly saw a baseball bat standing high above Wei Chi's head.

"careful!"

Wei Chi turned his head abruptly, who was behind him not the disappearing ghost?

Xu Wei pushed Wei Chi away abruptly, and rushed towards the ghost. His movement was not unpleasant, but the ghost flashed lightly as if predicting his action, and rushed towards Wei Chi holding the club high.

With nothing to defend against, Wei Chi raised his arms to block his eyes.

Wei Chi opened his eyes after hearing a "bang", but the expected pain did not come, but the bat fell on the metal box next to the detection door at the store entrance, smashing the black box to pieces.

Wei Chi heard the electric sound of "Kazi Kazi" for two seconds. The ghost seemed to be electrified, threw the baseball bat aside, and then turned his back to them and pulled out something from his body.

In a trance, Wei Chi saw that there seemed to be a rectangular hanging tag on the swaying body of the "ghost", shaking with his movements.

On the other side, Xu Wei, who was knocked down by the ghost just now, also stood up. He secretly took off the golf club in the hands of the skeleton model, aimed at the back of the ghost's head, and prepared to kill him with a blow.

He counted silently in his heart: "3,2,1, [-], [-]."

Wei Chi yelled: "Wait a minute!"

Xu Wei stopped suddenly, and the cue stopped about ten centimeters above the ghost's head. At the same time, the ghost turned around, covered his eyes with one hand, and raised a mobile phone screen with the other, facing Wei Chi, the screen Two lines of words are displayed on it:

[you can't go out like this]

[If you don't pay the bill, you will call the police: 3]

"What does this mean?" Xu Wei pointed at the ":3".

Wei Chi sighed and stood up from the ground: "That's an expression."

He didn't understand the language of the Internet at first, but he was surrounded by surfers like Ji Jingzhe and Wei Yuan, especially Ji Jingzhe, whose style of sending messages was almost similar to that of a 16- or 7-year-old high school girl.

The ghost walked up to Xu Wei, turned his head to his shoulders, and drew a "3" at the position of his mouth.

Wei Chi finally saw clearly the "ghost" in front of him, it was actually a person wearing a bed sheet-like dress that covered his entire head.The reason why it is called "sheet-like clothes" instead of "sheets" is that the logo of the store is printed around the neck of the ghost, and there is an elastic band like a hoodie, which looks designed .

Is this fashion for young people?

Wei Chi looked at the head of the person in front of him that was completely surrounded by fabric—only two eye holes were exposed and blocked by his own hands—as well as the black gloves covering all the skin and the same tight shoes and socks, feeling that the old antique in his heart wanted to Can't help but come out and give pointers.

"Who are you?" Xu Wei still did not put down the golf club, "Are you one of the twelve?"

The ghost tilted his head again, for some reason, Wei Chi was able to read different meanings from his movements.

"He doesn't know..." Wei Chi ordered, "Show me your phone."

The ghost obediently raised its hand, and obediently stood there without moving.

Wei Chi took a step forward and took his cell phone, and directly opened the inbox.

At this time Xu Wei turned from the side of the ghost to Wei Chi's side: "Don't forget to look at the trash can."

"No." Wei Chi checked his text messages and deleted messages, but he didn't see that message.

Xu Wei: "There are still photo albums."

"I've already seen it. There are no saved pictures." Wei Chi opened the first message in his text message list at this time. The contact was "store manager", and the last message was "store manager, I'm here" sent by this mobile phone.

Wei Chi closed the phone: "He is an employee of this store."

The ghost quickly nodded a few times, still covering his eyes with one hand, pointed at Wei Chi and Xu Wei with the other, gave a thumbs up, and then pointed at himself, making a gesture of waving a baseball bat. posture.

Wei Chi saw Xu Wei holding up his mobile phone to take pictures of ghosts: "What are you doing?"

"Sign language interpreter."

Xu Wei put down the phone, tapped the screen, and a mechanical female voice came.

"This sign language means: Hello, I can't see clearly. Is my translation accurate?"

The ghost shook his head quickly, and then repeated the action just now.

Wei Chi: "He said we are very good and he can help."

The ghost nodded, bent his arms, and posed in a muscular pose, but judging from the straight line formed by the cloth hanging on his arms, he didn't have any muscles at all.

Xu Wei said leisurely: "Is it the normal-hearing dysphonic person? For enterprises, they can not only enjoy the tax relief for employing the disabled, but also not affect the work efficiency to the greatest extent. Putting it in a window like an airport store can also It is a smart choice to enhance the corporate image.”

"No, I don't think he's disabled..." Wei Chi touched his forehead, "What's your name? Why are you covering your eyes?"

Ghost stretched out his hand to him, and Wei Chi handed him the phone.Then the ghost quickly turned away, frantically typing on the phone, and then turned back, covering his eyes with one hand, and showing them the screen with the other.

[A Floating Society Fear]

Wei Chi knew what Xu Wei was going to ask again, so he said ahead of time: "He said he has a social barrier."

"Is your name Ah Piao?" Wei Chi asked.

The ghost nodded, shook his head again, and pointed to the wall behind the cash register, where a piece of paper was pasted with the words "A Piao on duty today". The chapter says "arrived for duty".

The clothes of emotion are their uniform.

Wei Chi was about to speak, but suddenly saw a figure outside the window, he motioned Xu Wei and Ghost to stand still, and went around to the side of the curtain.

The man with the scar just now came back again.

As before, with his back to the window, he kept checking his phone.

Wei Chi thought to himself: It would be great if I could see what he was looking at.

But if he opened the curtain, he would definitely find out... Wei Chi felt something touch his waist, and when he looked back, it was Xu Wei and the ghost Ah Piao who were standing together poking him with a golf club.

Looking at it this way, the two are about the same height, both wearing a full set of clothes from the store, and have a figure... If... seems feasible... then so be it.

Wei Chi gently moved down the skeleton mannequin in the window, put it on the ground, and directed Xu Wei and Ah Piao to stand up.Ah Piao was very handy, and immediately put on a second-year look with one hand covering his eyes and the other resisting the stick. Xu Wei imitated the skeleton model, looking a little awkward.

When the two stood still, Wei Chi hid behind the cashier and pressed the remote control.

Outside the clothing store, the man with the scar was looking at his phone anxiously. When he heard a "click" sound behind him, he looked back warily. There were two tall models standing in the shop window. There was no one in the shop. He wondered "Hey", turned around and continued to look at the phone.

The scarred man glanced at his phone and at the crowd for a while, then walked away cursing.

What he didn't notice was that during the time he was standing in front of the window, the angles of the two models behind him bent lower and lower, getting closer and closer to the top of his head .

Xu Wei put down his golf clubs and walked down from the window: "I've confirmed, he's looking for me."

The man with the scar was looking at the enlarged Xu Wei in the photo of 12 people all the time.

"Do you know him?" Wei Chi patted Ah Piao who was still standing, "You can come down now."

"I don't know." Xu Wei was sure.

"That's strange, why is there twelve people, he just wanted to find you...and he seems to know that we are around here..." Wei Chi put down the blackout curtain again.

The three gathered in front of the cash register.

Wei Chi called up the photo on the phone again and turned on the graffiti mode.

The man with the scar is on the far right of the first row, and Xu Wei is on his left...Wei Chi hit a left arrow between the man with the scar and Xu Wei.

"I don't think it's wise to make inferences with the current sample," Xu Wei said, "We can't extract the inner connection from a single phenomenon, and he may have just randomly selected a target. We need more evidence to support it. in conclusion."

Wei Chi didn't even raise his head: "There are some connections that can be established after one success."

"This unscientific."

"Science?" Wei Chi scratched his hair in frustration, then suddenly smiled, "Oh, I'm sorry, I also forgot to introduce myself."

"My name is Wei Chi. I'm currently studying at Sanqing University. I'm a...researcher."

Seeing his smile, Xu Wei was speechless.

Wei Chi ignored him, lowered his head and continued, "And who said we only have one set of samples?"

He changed the color of the pen, and then started from Xu Wei in the photo and continued to draw an arrow pointing to the person next to him to the left, and the person standing on the left of Xu Wei in the photo was Wei Chi!

From just now, Ah Piao didn't know what they were talking about, but just stood aside quietly, but suddenly reacted, immediately snatched the golf club from Xu Wei's hand, and pointed at Xu Wei instead.

Wei Chi saw him covering his eyes with one hand, holding a golf club in the other hand, and holding a baseball bat in his armpit, and thought it was funny. Remembering that he still had a pair of sunglasses in his bag, he took it out and threw it to him .

When Ah Piao received the glasses, he was visibly happy to the naked eye, and immediately put them on his face. With his freed left hand, he drew out the baseball bat and swung it around like a samurai with two swords.

"I've already asked this question, but I have to ask it again..." Wei Chi put away his smile, and turned his gaze back to the shocked Xu Wei, "How did you find me?"
