Chapter 14 Rules Convenience Store
It is known that according to the fifth rule of convenience stores, if a thief steals something and causes losses to the convenience store, the losses must be shared by the employees on duty. So, are the prop cards stolen by the thief considered as losses of the convenience store?
If it doesn’t count, it means that the card itself is not considered a convenience store item, but a hidden reward.
If it counts, the people on duty at the front desk are Xin Boyu and Lao Ma. If something is lost, it has nothing to do with her, Qiao Song and Tang Xiaoxiao.
This time, she has to make a fortune anyway.
After Tang Xiaoxiao took her place, Qiao Song turned off the lights. In the dark warehouse, the fluorescent green that had not yet completely dissipated became particularly conspicuous.
Xiao Ni didn't expect that this human would react so quickly. The fluorescent effect on his body would only disappear in the last one or two minutes. He couldn't die here!
I saw a faint green fluorescence in the darkness, which suddenly turned into a ball shape and quickly shot away.
But what worries Xiao Ni is that there are almost no mirrors in the entire warehouse. The special metal material used for the shelves does not reflect light at all, and even the large pool filled with formaldehyde is matte.
There aren't many areas to hide outside the mirror.
Xiao Ni's physical state can change shape freely, so he subconsciously wanted to crawl under the shelf, intending to avoid this wave of pursuit first.
Who would have thought that as soon as one foot reached under the shelf, he could not help but scream.
I don't know who was so wicked but laid a lot of screws on the bottom of the shelf which ordinary people can't even enter. Most of them had their points pointing upwards, and I had no idea how many of them were embedded in the flesh when I chopped them off.
He quickly threw these things away one by one, and then he found that the fluorescence on his body was almost gone. As long as he held on a little longer, even if he couldn't find the mirror, those humans would not be able to find him.
Just then, he heard a clanging sound in the warehouse, as if something hit the metal shelf.
Realizing that the fluorescent color had almost disappeared, but at the same time confirming the location of the little ghost, Qiao Song immediately turned on the lights and changed to a new way of attack.
The next second, the water ghost named Xiao Ni felt that many nails were thrown near him like hidden weapons, like flowers scattered from heaven.
Such a large-scale rain of nails quickly locked onto him, a group of people running away in the midst of it.
It really hurts, and I don't know if it's not a problem with the technique, but when this thing hits him it's like a soul-destroying nail. The sharp nail head will cause pain to the ghost when it hits the soul.
A good screw was turned into something special by Qiao Song.
However, this is also because Xiao Ni, the water ghost, has a special form. If he wants to use the body storage function, he must turn himself into a soft and transparent substance, while being able to travel through the mirror space.
If the ghost were to recover his true form, he would be like his accomplices and could only appear in the human form he had before his death.
He really couldn't stand it anymore. If he continued like this, even if he could use his invisibility ability, he would be exposed by this screw at any time. He had to find a mirror, he had to find a mirror!
Or maybe just go back into that pool?
Although the pool of water weakened his ability, the surface of the pool of liquid was the only one in the entire warehouse that could barely be called a mirror.
He has become transparent now, and the woman definitely doesn't know about it. It's better than being hammered with nails like this.
In a flash, he quickly ran in a Z shape around several shelves, more or less slowing down the frequency of the other party hitting him with screws. He quickly seized the opportunity, turned around and jumped, silently blending into the mirror world on the pool.
Just when he was feeling smug and thinking that this human would not be able to detect him in his transparent state, a huge net dropped from the sky and sealed the pool tightly.
As a question mark appeared in Xiao Ni's mind, his eyes went dark and a heavy rectangular object of unknown origin completely covered the pool.
A water surface without a light source cannot be called a mirror. When he was fished out of the pool of liquid with a net bag, he was still in a daze until a woman turned on the light and poked him as if she was looking at a bag of seafood.
"This thing is actually a ghost, but this ability is indeed suitable for stealing things."
At the last moment, Tang Xiaoxiao, who was covering the pool with a book, poked her head out and said, "Sister Qiao Song, how did you know he would end up in the pool?"
Qiao Song: "This guy must have been beaten up at the front desk before. After arriving at the warehouse, he subconsciously went to the pool. He must have been looking for an environment that was beneficial to him. But I guess, since the water in this pool can seal the raw materials that are jumping around on the shelves, it can naturally affect these ghosts to some extent."
Knowing that he would be affected, he still wanted to dive into the pool, unless there was something on the surface of the pool that could help him hide himself.
Fortunately, after Tang Xiaoxiao's book was pressed down, she could feel the touch of something solid in the net bag she had cast, and it seemed that she had caught it.
"Will you voluntarily hand over the stolen goods, or should I come and pick them up myself?"
There was a small metal hammer next to the ghost head that was dragged out by a net bag. Seeing that the other party did not react, Qiao Song took out a nail and, with a bang, smashed the nail directly into the floor next to the ghost head, leaving only a small dot.
The ghost in the net bag couldn't help but tremble.
"Or do you prefer the soul vending machine at the door?"
With intimidation and threats, facing the little Thresh placed next to his head again, the little ghost whimpered twice, and finally took the initiative to spit out an orange-gold card.
Qiao Song took the trophy in his hand and looked at it over and over again.
It really is a prop card.
[Orange Wishing Star: One Star Version]
[The so-called lucky star is me. After using it, I can transform the most suitable props according to the user's wishes! 】
[Note that the number of stars determines the level of the item that the wish star can transform into, so don’t make too outrageous wishes.]
[PS: Star cards will fade to black and white after use]
In other words, this is a prop card that has not been used yet, and it is a universal prop.
It’s really a good thing.
However, why is there a special reminder that it will fade to black and white after use? Could it be that the remains of this thing after use have other uses?
Qiao Song followed suit and put the things away.
And under Tang Xiaoxiao's puzzled gaze, he picked up the water ghost Xiao Ni and hung it on the shelf next to him.
"Put him back in the pool after get off work, and then seal it up again with the book."
But now it's working hours, and the pool is reserved for raw materials for other jailbreak attempts, so it's not suitable to deal with him.
Tang Xiaoxiao made an "oh" sound twice. She thought her sister Qiao would just take the ghost out and stuff it into the soul vending machine.
Qiao Song laughed at her: "You have learned bad things. Why do you see ghosts now as if you see a stack of moving soul coins?"
Tang Xiaoxiao touched her face guiltily, feeling a little shy.
It’s up to you.
"There were several water ghosts guarding outside just now. It seems that they are in the same group with this guy. It is not a good idea to go near the soul vending machine at this time. Let's wait until daytime. There should be a certain suppression of ghosts during the day."
Otherwise, when they went out to explore during the day yesterday, they would not have encountered no ghosts at all. Instead, there were many humans appearing on the road during the day.
When he heard that his accomplice, the water ghost, was guarding not far from the back door, Xiao Ni struggled violently again.
However, when he remained in physical form, he was just a complete loser who could only be bullied by others.
After being hit with a hammer as a warning by Qiao Song, he became obedient.
Especially in the last few minutes of the second half of the night, when he witnessed with his own eyes how the woman holding the hammer smashed the fleeing human body parts back into the pool, the little ghost dared not act rashly anymore.
I was afraid that I would be torn into parts and thrown into the pool.
The helpless little water ghost was not taken down from the shelf until one or two minutes before the end of the get off work day. It had been hung in the net bag for so long that it was almost dried out.
He looked young, just a junior high school kid. He started trembling when Qiao Song mentioned him.
"Don't worry, I won't touch you today. Just stay in the bath and be good."
What's the difference between this and saying to a crab, "Stay in the pool overnight and I'll steam you tomorrow"?
Qiao Song put the net bag back into the pond, added another layer of net on it, and asked Tang Xiaoxiao to cover it with a book to prevent accidents. Then he started his other big plan.
Xin Boyu and Lao Ma, who had worked hard at the front desk all night, dealing with all kinds of ghosts and troublemakers, but failed to find what they wanted, heard the bad news when the clock struck 6 o'clock, which was the moment to get off work.
[We regret to inform you that due to the loss of important goods last night, the convenience store staff on duty at the front desk needs to compensate for the supermarket’s losses last night]
A large red letter appeared on his screen.
[-1500 Soul Coins]
Xin Boyu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. 1,500 was not a small number for him.
But he quickly realized that he had counted all the ordinary daily necessities and special ghost ingredients on the other shelves, and except for those that had been sold, all the remaining goods were intact.
Not to mention that when he caught the thief yesterday, he had already taken out all the cans from his stomach.
Unless the other party stole something else and he didn't find out.
But that's impossible, apart from the items on the red shelf, anything else could be so expensive!
No, that’s not right, it really does exist.
Xin Boyu's face turned pale and then red, and then red and then pale.
The prop that he had been looking for all night and that he put on the shelf with his own hands!
When he found that thing, it was still in raw material state, and he didn't know what kind of prop card it would become after being put on the shelf.
The strategy the team gave him simply told him to find a way to put a certain type of items on the shelves and then buy them all.
But who would have known that after he had finally found the materials in the warehouse, planned to put them on the shelves, and then tried to transfer his shift to the front desk, what he finally produced was actually stolen by a thief!
That damn water ghost.
If it weren’t for Lao Ma’s skill judgment that the item cards that were not on the red shelves were all white like ordinary goods, he should have gotten the items long ago!
Now that the system has determined that the goods have been stolen, could it be that the water ghost has escaped from the warehouse?
Those two guys on duty in the warehouse are useless, they can’t even catch a water ghost!
He never reflected on the fact that he had thrown the water ghost into the warehouse. He had no good intentions in the first place, but the most urgent thing was to go back to the warehouse and look for it first, just in case the prop card was still in the warehouse.
But when he went to pull the warehouse door with great momentum, he failed to pull it in the first place.
A line of huge red fonts appeared in front of me again: [Please pay compensation].
A [-1500] light screen blocked his way again. It seemed that if he didn't pay the money, he would even be restricted to his area of activity.
Xin Boyu was so angry.
Including the fine from Lao Ma, the two of them did not make a penny on that night's duty at the front desk, and even lost more than 3,000 yuan.
Xin Boyu almost gritted his teeth when he paid the money. The budget given to them by the team had been spent completely. If he still couldn't get the key prop card, his trip back would be doomed.
However, after he paid the fine with great reluctance and pushed open the warehouse door, what he saw was an extremely chaotic scene.
Various shelves were standing crookedly everywhere, and a lot of goods were scattered on the ground. He took two steps forward and almost fell because of the screws on the ground.
He had expected that without Lao Ma's warehouse keeper skills, it might be difficult to deal with the raw materials running around the room, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult.
Those two newcomers, they're not gone anymore, are they?
