Orion Supermarket usually closes at 10 o'clock on weekdays. It is not too late now and there are still many customers coming and going.
However, when the customers who were still selecting products nearby saw this scene, they all turned their eyes over with surprise and confusion on their faces.
"What the hell is going on? Calm down!"
These eyes fell on the manager Zhang Wen, making him even more anxious and uneasy. He dragged Li Lai outside, not wanting to affect the customers still in the supermarket.
Xu Xianxian also followed him out.
"Boss... this is bad..." Pulled to a small corner outside the supermarket, Li Lai could no longer hold back and collapsed on the ground, tears and snot all flowing out. He didn't care about the embarrassment and just muttered: "This is bad... someone's dead... someone's dead..."
He was just an ordinary student and had never seen anything brutal or horrific. What he saw tonight was a huge shock to his worldview over the past decade.
Xu Xianxian was standing nearby. When she heard these words, she was suddenly stunned and seemed to recall something.
Human memory requires time to buffer, and it is not possible to recall everything in an instant. Especially for her, everything now is a memory from seven or eight years ago.
But after hearing Li Lai's impactful words, she immediately made an association. In her past life, she had not had much interaction with him, but if she remembered correctly, there had been a murder and robbery at the Orion Supermarket, and Li Lai was one of the victims.
She happened to have something to do that day and didn't come to work, so she escaped the disaster. After that, the supermarket was closed for half a year for rectification. She also happened to go to school, so she rarely came after that.
'It's been so long now that these memories are a little blurry.'
Xu Xianxian frowned and thought secretly in her heart.
When she remembered, her eyes changed as she looked at Li Lai, as if she was looking at a dead person. This was no wonder, as people who had disappeared from her memory would naturally have preconceived notions.
Zhang Wen was struck by lightning when he heard what the other party said. He looked at Li Lai in disbelief. "Xiao Li... what did you say?! Are you seeing things?! Are they robbers?"
"I don't know... I don't know..." Li Lai's spirit had collapsed, and his breathing was abnormally rapid. "It's all blood... It's all blood... There's blood everywhere..."
As he spoke, the young boy's eyes became dull and his voice was choked with sobs, as if he was completely frightened.
Xu Xianxian frowned deeply upon seeing this, but fortunately she remained calm and whispered, "Manager, should we call the police?"
If she encounters a vicious criminal, she will not be able to deal with him with her weak arms and legs. The best way is to call the police.
"...Don't..." Zhang Wen frowned and pondered for a moment, his eyes struggling. Then he slowly said to the girl next to him, "Look at Li Lai, isn't there a trace of blood on his body? I suspect he saw it wrongly. If he really encountered robbers, how could he escape now? If he really encountered robbers, why would he not rob the warehouse, but go straight to the cashier? Besides, it's been so long, and I haven't heard any movement yet..."
"But... Li Lai is so scared, it doesn't seem like he's lying."
Xu Xianxian frowned, feeling that this matter was not as simple as Manager Zhang said.
After all, although I didn't experience it in my previous life, I had read in the newspaper that I did encounter unknown robbers, and there were three victims.
In addition to Li Lai, there should be two other people killed in the warehouse, but I can't remember who they were...
"I understand, but I don't think it was a robber." Zhang Wen weighed the pros and cons and whispered, "Calling the police would be unlucky. It would affect the supermarket's business."
"Forehead..."
Xu Xianxian was a little surprised. Businessmen didn't want to call the police casually because they thought it would have a negative impact on their business.
"You go back first, I'll take care of this. It's so late, and if you, a little girl, go out, your parents will probably be worried again."
Zhang Wen's expression was somewhat serious, and he looked at Xu Xianxian very seriously.
It is better to have less trouble than more. Although Xu Xianxian was relatively calm when faced with such a thing, in Zhang Wende's eyes, this sweet and lovely girl was just pretending to be calm.
"Yeah, okay."
This was exactly what Xu Xianxian wanted, so she didn't plan to follow him foolishly. Even if Manager Zhang didn't say anything, she would have asked to go home.
A temporary job with a monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan is not worth risking her life.
"Then go back quickly. I'll go check the warehouse."
Zhang Wen nodded, frowned, turned around and walked towards the alley behind the supermarket, which was the direction of the warehouse.
Xu Xianxian was ready to turn around and leave, but for some reason, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart. She looked at the other person's back as he left, and inexplicably saw some surging black air.
It was like a thin layer of black water vapor, about the thickness of an adult's arm, surrounding the other person's shoulders, and it looked very familiar. Uncle Li, whom I met in the afternoon, also had this kind of black aura on him.
"Is it an illusion?"
Xu Xianxian thought she was hallucinating, so she rubbed her eyes. When she looked again, the lingering black air was still there.
It's not an illusion...
While she was stunned, Zhang Wen's figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the alley. Only Li Lai was left beside him, with lifeless eyes, still half paralyzed on the ground, in extreme fear.
