Chapter 630 The Bizarre Adventure of Masato Shichijo Part 2 (5)
After the typhoon, the summer nights in the city began to get sultry. Although there is no sunlight at night, you will still feel suffocated while walking on the road. When you sweat, your clothes stick to your skin due to the sweat, which is extremely uncomfortable. And if you see a convenience store on the street at this time, it is like seeing an oasis in the desert, which always makes people want to go in and cool down.
Masato Shichijo put on the uniform of a convenience store, put on a mask, and walked out. Now he is a guard in the oasis, providing cool convenience for pedestrians.
"Store manager, I'm ready to change my shift." Masato Shichijo said to the store manager.
The manager of this convenience store is a thin middle-aged man. He was checking the surveillance video at the counter. He raised his head when he heard Masato Shichijo's voice.
The store manager patted Masato Shichijo on the shoulder and said, "Have you remembered all the work content?"
Masato Shichijo nodded: "I have remembered everything."
"Then what's next I'll leave it to you." The store manager's eyes were a little evasive, as if he had something to say. After holding it in for a while, he said: "Well... we have an employee in the store who occasionally comes to the warehouse at night to check the quantity of goods. , if you see him, ignore him, he is a very strange guy."
"Uh...I know." Masato Shichijo was a little strange, but he didn't ask much.
“Also.” The store manager added: “In the evening, there will be some customers. You know, there are many bars nearby. They may be drunk or take some illegal drugs. It makes them look strange. If you find that some guests are behaving strangely or making any strange requests, just pretend that you can’t see them and they will leave on their own.”
Masato Shichijo became confused and asked: "Store manager, those customers..."
The store manager glanced at his watch and said encouragingly: "It's time to hand over the shift, Shichijo, today is your first time Go to work and work hard!"
"Yes! Store manager!" Masato Shichijo said immediately.
Then the store manager left here in a hurry.
Masato Shichijo glanced at the clock on the wall. It was now ten o'clock in the evening. It was already very late. The store manager must be in a hurry to catch the train home, right?
He shook his head. Although it was only a part-time job, since it was his first job, he had to do something well. So Masato Shichijo immediately started working, first checking the shelves for food that was about to expire, then replenishing the shelves, and then cleaning. The machine...
A few customers came in to buy things. Masato Shichijo was a little confused at first, but he gradually got used to the operation. Apart from some troubles, this job was not too difficult. Most people can do it.
After the driver who helped replenish the goods moved the goods into the warehouse, Masato Shichijo breathed a sigh of relief. Basically, the chores were done. All he had to do now was to survive the long night shift and wait for someone to come in the morning. Shift is handed over.
There were very few customers in the early morning, because the convenience store stipulated that mobile phones were not allowed to be used during working hours, so Masato Shichijo could only pass the time by reading magazines.
As soon as he got out of his busy schedule, Masato Shichijo felt a long-lost sense of depression, which made him a little uneasy.
"Here we go again..." Masato Shichijo rubbed his brows.
Ever since he opened his eyes, this feeling has appeared from time to time, especially after nightfall. Being in this state always makes people irritable. However, according to Heita Inuyama, this is a normal phenomenon when he first becomes a psychic. Usually newcomers at this stage will not be able to distinguish the difference between ghosts and real people due to their mental confusion, leading to some accidents.
"If you just stay in the convenience store, nothing will happen, right?" Masato Shichijo yawned and continued to flip through the magazine. His head felt a little dull. It was his first time working the night shift. He was still not used to it, so in order not to fall asleep, he stood up and planned to walk around.
At this time, he seemed to hear footsteps on the other side of the warehouse.
"Is there anyone?" Masato Shichijo walked over there, opened the door of the warehouse, and saw a man wearing the same convenience store uniform as himself, with his back to him, squatting in front of the shelf, as if checking the number of drinks.
"Did you come in from the warehouse?" Masato Shichijo just wanted to say hello, but he thought of the store manager's instructions and looked at the camera in the corner. He found that it was running well, so he stopped disturbing him. Quietly withdrew.
"What a weirdo~" Masato Shichijo couldn't help but think, he returned to his seat, continued to hold the magazine and started to pass the time, while his thoughts spread.
"Speaking of which... the salary of this part-time job seems to be higher than others." Masato Shichijo flipped through the magazine and thought: "Fortunately, I contacted you early, otherwise the job might have been taken over by others. He was robbed... After getting the salary, I will find an opportunity to invite Heitaro and Xiao Yi. Let's have a meal..."
Just when he was enjoying how to spend his salary after receiving it, he caught the surveillance video from the corner of his eye. Masato Shichijo suddenly saw an extra person in the shelf area. The customer, he was standing in front of the freezer, seeming to be thinking about what to buy.
"Wait, why are there guests?" Masato Shichijo put away the magazine a little strangely: "I didn't hear the bell at the door just now? Could it be that I didn't hear it when I came in when I was going to the warehouse?"
He lowered his head and thought for a while. When he looked at the surveillance camera again, the figure of the customer in the shelf area had disappeared. Masato Shichijo subconsciously looked up and saw a man with pale skin and a suit already standing there. In front of the cashier, he stared at him strangely.
Shichijo Masato was startled, but he immediately calmed down and glanced in front of him. There was nothing, so he asked: "Excuse me, guest, do you need anything?"
The guy in front of me is very strange. Although the store manager said that he might be drunk or taking some kind of illegal drugs, the person in front of him has no smell of alcohol at all, and his eyes are sunken and his face is haggard, as if he is tired. Like the social animals that have been around for a long time.
And the weirdest thing is that it is already summer, but he is still wearing a tight suit...
"Guest?" Masato Shichijo asked again. The guest's chapped lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Masato Shichijo finally realized something was wrong at this time. He felt a chill in his back and hesitated: "Could it be...that this is what Heitaro said..."
At this time, suddenly something happened over at the warehouse. There was a scream, and Masato Shichijo said: "Please wait, I'll go take a look."
Then he rushed over immediately. Only that colleague was there. Could it be that something happened to him? ?
A pale hand stretched out from behind and grabbed Masato Shichijo's wrist. The palm of that hand was as cold as a dead person.
"Don't go there!" The guest in a suit finally spoke. He said to Masato Shichijo who turned around: "Don't go there... there is a ghost there!"
