The Handicraft Shop Manager is Actually the Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind

Blurb: Li An joined a handicraft shop, working from nine to five, with no performance pressure and generous benefits. There's only one problem—

Why do the customers all look a bit strange...

Chapter 93: Horror movies are fake when you are unconscious. When people reach their extreme...

Chapter 93: Horror movies are fake when you are unconscious. When people reach their extreme...

Horror movies are fake.

It turns out that when people are extremely frightened, they can't make any sound at all, let alone scream like a character in a horror movie, Yu Qiu thought.

The throat seemed to be blocked, the air was swelling in the chest, but it took a long time for the brain to issue an order.

Instinct is faster than the brain. When Yu Qiu finally realized what she was doing, she had already run out of the residential building and almost stepped into the green belt.

But the fear did not let her go and still lingered in her heart.

Yu Qiu didn't dare to look back, she didn't know what she would see if she turned back.

The whistling sound of air flow covered the entire residential building at some point, so fast that even Yu Qiu didn't react. If it weren't for that eye that suddenly appeared, she would still be sitting on the stairs, unaware of anything.

The clouds dispersed in large patches, and the pale moonlight fell, casting the shadow of the entire building among the swaying shadows of the trees.

Countless vine-like things emerged from the balcony, until a sound of shattering glass exploded in the quiet night.

It was difficult for Yu Qiu to convince himself that this was just an illusion.

Fallen glass fragments, wriggling vines, and tiny hairs growing on them.

At the tail end, a black hole-like eyeball is embedded on it.

Yu Qiu moved his stiff limbs and ran out harder than during the 50-meter physical test.

Stay away from these things.

The shadow grew rapidly, but the sound of the air tearing gradually weakened.

Maybe it's because it's almost out completely.

It continued to expand until the entire building became its nest, and it was difficult to distinguish it from any other building.

With the help of the huge shadow, Yu Qiu finally saw clearly - what was that fluff?

It's clearly eyelashes!

If these things could even be called eyes.

Yu Qiu didn’t know if it was because of running or being scared, but he just felt layers of sweat coming out of his forehead.

Her slippers had been lost at some point, and she suddenly felt a stinging pain on the soles of her feet. The autumn night wind was so cold that it penetrated into her bones.

Yu Qiu didn't dare to stop. She was in pain and tired. She guessed that she must look like a madman now, but she had completely forgotten the idea of ​​going to the hospital for treatment.

Maybe she really is crazy.

But even so, Yu Qiu did not dare to stop.

The feet quickly became cold and numb, or they might have become painful and numb.

Yu Qiu was stunned and slowly stopped. The surroundings were completely unfamiliar.

I just ran around aimlessly and didn't know which street I ended up on.

The shadows of the evergreen trees in the green belt fell on her shoulders.

Yu Qiu was startled.

Then he realized that it was just an ordinary tree shadow, without the sound of air flow and without the eyes growing on the countless vines.

——It's like seeing a snake in the cup of wine.

Yu Qiu didn't know how fast the vines spread. During the two hours she slept, the vines only invaded the walls of her room from her neighbor's house, but in the time it took her to run up and down the stairs, they quickly covered the entire building.

She didn't know what the pattern was.

Yu Qiu breathed slowly, holding onto a tree trunk and sitting at the edge of the green belt.

He grabbed his legs and turned up his feet, then gritted his teeth and got the stones and gravel off.

Then she sat on the ground, looked up and saw the moon in the sky.

It is surprisingly round and surprisingly bright. At first glance, it looks like a white piece on a black chessboard.

The pale moonlight enveloped her.

Yu Qiu forgot when he lay down.

By the time she remembered where she was, the surroundings had changed drastically.

*

A calico, and an injured calico.

It was lifting one of its hind legs, its claws were bloody and its body was in a mess, covered in dirt and grass.

Li An simply bandaged its wound first. Although it couldn't change the fact that it still had to walk on three paws, it at least felt better.

Then she poked Sanhua's forehead in front of her cat.

"Why are you here?"

*

Why?

Is this the wrong person to ask?

Ever since Yu Qiu inexplicably entered this place, his mind was full of questions.

For some unknown reason, she didn't dare look at the owner, but just stared at the black cat with her head down.

The black cat was also looking at her.

The round eyeballs rolled around.

Yu Qiu's stomach was churning.

She couldn't bear to see such round and flexible eyes recently.

So she had to look away, stare at the carpet, and think about the problem just now.

——What did she come for?

Yu Qiu looked at the footprints on the white carpet.

The dirt and blood disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She thought, no wonder they dared to lay such a white carpet, it turns out it has a self-cleaning function.

“The world has become something I don’t recognize.”

Yu Qiu murmured.

The shop owner's light and shallow laughter drifted from the distance.

Like a wisp of wind hanging from the clouds, or like a lazy gaze cast by a god.

The sounds of air whistling past my ears seemed to ring again.

No.

Not as if.

——Those nightmarish airflow sounds sounded again, just a few feet away from her.

Yu Qiu suddenly raised his eyes, and the surrounding environment changed again. The familiar room layout, the not-too-unfamiliar furnishings and the table full of overturned wine bottles.

It looks like a neighbor's house.

Yu Qiu looked around in confusion, and the neighbor's children walked and crawled past her.

A skinny woman squatted on the ground, cleaning up the mess.

No one noticed her, as if she didn't exist in this world.

Yu Qiu opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His foot stepped on the floor, but it went straight through a piece of broken glass without causing any pain.

She saw the moonlight piercing through her translucent body and falling sparsely on the floor.

She was like a ghost.

Ghost Yu Qiu followed the direction of the airflow sound and passed through a door.

It was the room of the middle-aged drunk man. He was lying on the bed like a dead pig, unconscious.

The sound of air currents filled the room.

As the moon climbed inch by inch to the top of the sky, the range of the airflow sound became larger and larger.

Yu Qiu finally saw the moment when the middle-aged man was swallowed up.

Starting from the feet, it disappeared into the air bit by bit, revealing fresh flesh and neat broken ends, but not a drop of blood flowed out.

The drunk man was still lying on the bed, like a pig that had been given an overdose of anesthesia.

You won't feel anything even if you are ripped off.

The neatly cut edge moved upwards inch by inch with the moonlight, until it was no longer possible to tell that the person lying there was a human being.

Knees, thighs, waist, abdomen, chest...

Eye.

It was as if he had finally obtained his most beloved treasure, and the airflow area expanded instantly.

The speed has increased subtly.

Outside the door, the sound of mopping the floor could be heard, and I could almost imagine the scene.

A skinny woman was mopping the floor, and the child was crawling around in the living room in a daze.

Leaving this world without knowing it seems to be a good thing.

When the last bit of hair disappeared where no one knew, Yu Qiu finally came to his senses.

...So it's really not that she is mentally ill, but that the sound of air flow came from nowhere and swallowed up everyone in the building.

So what should we do now?

Should I call the police? Would they believe me? Then why not just lie and make a false report? But what excuse would make the police take it seriously enough to cordon off an entire building, no, an entire neighborhood?

In the blink of an eye, I was back to where I was.

The stars flow quietly around you.

"Have you made up your mind?" the store manager asked softly.

The other person always spoke very softly, as if there was no airflow at all when she spoke, and even the dust had to listen quietly to her soft voice.

——Nothing in the world will be surprised by His coming or His actions.

Yu Qiu was stunned. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in that instant, and then disappeared in the cracks of his thoughts.

She opened her mouth and said with difficulty.

"I want a way to save everyone."

"I want to know the root of this."
