"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Oriole suddenly became excited. She pointed at the two security guards: "If something happens in the mall, it's because these security guards are useless!"
"Are we useless?" The security guard surnamed Li's anger also surged to his head. He clutched the sign pulled from the delivery boy's neck: "How did the old man in your store die two months ago? After work,
He closed the store, but his body was found in the store the next day! He was kneeling when he died. What do you think he did that caused him to die in such a strange way?"
Oriole wanted to stop the security guard from talking, but the security guard became more and more enthusiastic: "A month ago, your employee didn't go home at night, drank so much that he went to the river to sing at midnight, and his body was buried.
Rushed to a place two kilometers downstream."
"Their deaths were accidents! Shut up!" Oriole screamed, seemingly worried that Han Fei would be frightened.
"Is it an accident?" The security guard surnamed Li grabbed Oriole's wrist: "Just a week ago, your newly recruited boy committed suicide. When he came, he was healthy and had no problems at all. Why did he do it on his own at night?
Suicide suddenly at home? When you died, you still knelt at the door of your home, as if you were greeting God?"
"Let go! Let me go!"
"All the employees in your store are about to die, and you are still here to deceive new people?" The security guard surnamed Li tightened his fingers more and more tightly. He stared at Oriole's face: "If you are not afraid at all, why don't you stay at night?
Come down and check out the store?”
"I……"
"I heard that when you were working the night shift, you often talked to yourself and begged to where no one was. By the way! Last night I saw you standing in front of that god box, motionless, standing for a whole
Half an hour! Is there something unclean on you already?" The security guard named Li became more and more exaggerated. When he got closer to Oriole, Han Fei stood in front of Oriole.
"New here, you work the night shift here and you don't even look up when we see you. Is it so awkward?"
"Specially catching disabled people to defraud, even if you two get the money, can you spend it with peace of mind?" Han Fei grabbed the wrist of the security guard named Li: "Also, that thing is called a shrine, not a god box."
"It's good to have a sense of justice, but don't meddle in other people's business. Be careful of being sold and counting money for others." The security guard named Li found that he couldn't break free from Han Fei's hands. He said several harsh words in a row, hoping that
Han Fei could retreat despite the difficulties.
"Li Daxing, I'm going to call Zhu Wei now. He shouldn't have gone far yet. You two guys staying here are a disaster! I seriously suspect that the things that were lost in the mall were stolen by you two!"
Oriole also took out her mobile phone. The security guard named Li really scared her just now. She didn't dare to work the night shift in the first place, but now she was even more scared.
"Pretending to be like White Lotus! No wonder Zhu Wei always targets us. It turns out you are the one snitching behind us every day!" Another security guard also came over. He wanted to take away Oriole's mobile phone, but the situation was about to get out of control.
, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly came from the top floor of the shopping mall.
"Bang!"
The shopping mall was particularly quiet at night, and everyone heard the strange noise.
A few people didn't do anything anymore and turned to look deeper into the mall.
In the dark mall, only the green emergency lights at the safety exits were on. The light green light was like the underworld, which made it look even more weird.
Han Fei and the security guard let go of their hands at the same time. The two security guards looked at each other, and the security guard named Li Daxing took out the security stick from his lower back.
"Sounds from upstairs?"
"Third or fourth floor? The women's clothing floor?"
Li Daxing became a little nervous. He glared at the delivery man and Han Fei: "What's going on between us is not over yet! Just stand here and wait for me!"
The two security guards snatched the sign hanging from the delivery man's neck and ran towards the depths of the mall together.
The delivery man chased after me, and while he was running, he accidentally dropped his phone and blacked out the screen.
"Give it back, give it back to me!"
The security guard ignored the delivery man and hurried upstairs. They were night shift security guards. If there was a problem in the mall at night, the boss would deduct their wages.
It can also be seen from the fact that they snatched the takeaway sign that the two men were not prepared to let the takeaway go, but were planning to settle the score later.
"Did you hear that voice just now?" Oriole was hiding next to Han Fei. She looked a little pale: "Just now... a lot of what Li Daxing said was made up by him. Don't take it to heart."
"Sister Huang, you don't have to worry. My mother is waiting for surgery in the hospital. I need the money, so I won't resign no matter what." Han Fei had a smile on his face, with reluctance and pain in the smile.
The most distressing thing was the look in his eyes, which contained too many complex emotions.
Seeing Han Fei's expression, Oriole opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Can you lend me your mobile phone? I want to call the delivery boy's father and tell him the truth to prevent him from being deceived by Li Daxing." Han Fei kept looking at the delivery boy when he spoke.
He feels like a person with a special sense of justice.
"Okay." Oriole unlocked the screen lock of her phone without much thought, and handed it to Han Fei.
Holding Oriole's mobile phone, Han Fei walked to the delivery man. While his back was turned to Oriole, he quickly swiped the phone and looked through some messages and call records.
Recently, there are three people who have frequently sent messages to Oriole. One commented that he was the boss, another named Zhu Wei, and the other commented that he was worse than a pig or a dog.
The person who commented that pigs are worse than dogs has been sending messages to Oriole, but Oriole has never replied.
He seems to be Oriole's ex-husband. Many of the messages he sent were threatening Oriole, from wanting to see the child at first to threatening to kill Oriole's whole family.
"Wang Ping'an, do you still remember your home phone number?" Han Fei said gently to the delivery man. When he asked, his fingers were still sliding rapidly on the screen of Oriole's mobile phone.
The person noted as the boss also chatted a lot with Oriole, but most of the messages were sent by Oriole. During the night shift, she discovered a lot of things that were extremely scary. She told her boss that if she continued like this, she might
Will go crazy.
"Ping An, don't worry, think about it slowly, we know you are not wrong." There seemed to be a warmth in Han Fei's voice, which made people feel comfortable listening to it.
Looking down slightly, Han Fei quickly scanned the chat history. When he flipped through the chat messages from three days ago, his pupils jumped slightly.
Three days ago, Oriole sent a message to the boss, saying that at zero o'clock, the clock started moving backwards, the black cloth covering the shrine fell down, and someone was knocking on the door inside the shrine.
The boss's reply was very simple, only two words: run quickly.
After a while, Oriole sent a message to her boss again, saying that the voice had disappeared, but she did not dare to go back.
The boss asked her to stay at the door of the store and reassured her that someone new would come to work the night shift soon and everything would be fine.
Judging from the information from the two of them, they must know that there is something wrong with the shrine.
When Oriole approached, Han Fei clicked on the call page on his mobile phone, and then approached the delivery man: "Don't be nervous, we are not bad people."
After asking for a long time, the delivery man named a few numbers intermittently, and Han Fei also tried to dial them.
In fact, he had already memorized the phone number and address on the sign when the security guard pulled it down. All he had done just now was to look through the information about Oriole and his boss.
"Uncle, I'm sorry to call you at this time. Wang Ping'an is in some trouble and someone wants to trick him." After the call was put through, Han Fei told the other party the ins and outs of the matter.
Wang Ping'an's father on the phone didn't sleep either. He had been waiting for his child to come home, even though his child was almost thirty years old.
Han Fei took several photos of the lunch boxes and take-out boxes on his mobile phone, and then sent them to Wang Ping'an's father: "If they want to make a claim, show them the evidence. Ping An did not make a mistake, it was them.
"
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Old man, do you think you can come over and pick him up? He seems to be frightened and a little confused." Han Fei is still at work. The other main reason is that before he understands the details of this world, he cannot
Dare to walk casually at night.
"Okay, I'll go over now. Are you at the department store?"
"Wang Ping'an and I are waiting for you at Gate C of the mall." Han Fei hung up the phone. He was about to clean the floor when the voice of the system appeared in his mind again.
"Attention, player No. 0000! You have triggered a random mission in the shrine to go home."
"Going home: Sometimes the road home is very short, and sometimes it becomes very long, so long that it cannot be completed in a lifetime."
"Task requirement: Escort Wang Ping'an home."
Han Fei didn't pay attention at first, but when he read the mission information for the second time, he felt something was wrong.
"Wang Ping'an's father is coming to pick him up. I just need to wait for him here. Why did an escort mission suddenly appear?"
"Could it be that Wang Ping'an's father will have an accident on the way here?"
Squinting his eyes slowly, Han Fei read the mission description carefully. Sometimes the way home was short, and sometimes it was very long, so long that he could not go back for a lifetime.
"The definition of home should not be a house. For Wang Pingan, home is where his father is! If his father is gone, he will have no home for the rest of his life."
After figuring out the key, Han Fei decided to leave, but he was a little worried about Oriole. All kinds of strange things would happen in the store at night, and now Oriole had another dispute with the security guard.
"If the owner of the shrine were here, what choice would he make?"
After Han Fei hesitated for a moment, he asked Wang Pingan: "Is your father not in good health?"
The delivery man was holding his cell phone with a black screen in both hands. His expression was so aggrieved that he was about to burst into tears. He kept nodding his head and opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't utter a single clear word.
"That's true."
People's lives were at stake, so Han Fei didn't waste any more time. He returned Oriole's phone and said, "Sister Huang, I'm going to check on you. We'll be back soon."
Before Oriole could speak, Han Fei picked up the lunch box and helped Wang Pingan out.
"Ride on your car, let's go home and take the path your father has been leading you." Han Fei has come into contact with autistic children. In order to help them gain independence, parents often go to great lengths to help them gain independence.
Just to remember the way home, they may have to practice walking countless times.
Holding the lunch box in his arms, Han Fei sat in the back seat of the electric car and let Wang Pingan take him home.
The night was dark, and as soon as they walked out of the mall, they felt that the temperature was constantly dropping, as if some taboo had been triggered.
