Chapter 438 The voice from the depths of the warehouse
"Even if your heart stops beating, you can still live here and live here forever..."
Opening his eyes suddenly, Han Fei sat up from the bed, his clothes already soaked with cold sweat.
"I fell asleep so easily? Or am I in the memory world of the owner of the shrine?"
Opening the properties panel, Han Fei found that his mood value had returned to 60, which meant he could go out normally.
"Sleeping seems to only bring my mood back to sixty at most. I don't seem to have experienced the feeling of happiness in this memory world." Rubbing his slightly groggy head, Han Fei went to change into dry clothes: "I'm here
How long have you been sleeping for? I feel like my memory has become a little blurry. Have I forgotten something? "
Opening the curtains, the sky outside was already dark, and Han Fei slept straight into the night.
"Maybe I'm too tired."
After washing up, Han Fei went into the kitchen and cooked the last bit of rice into porridge.
"If I can survive tonight successfully, I will buy more things to store at home after dawn, and by the way, I will go see the mother of the owner of the shrine. Maybe I can discover some secrets from her."
When it was about nine o'clock in the evening, Han Fei put on his work clothes and walked to the door.
In order not to walk at night after midnight, he chose to go to work early. People like him who are dedicated to their work are rare.
Opening the door, the moment Han Fei left the house, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
"Attention player No. 0000! Your current hunger level is 20, your physical condition is good, your current mental state is slightly depressed, and your mood level is 60. Do you choose to go out?"
"yes."
The system prompts made Han Fei wake up completely. This was in the memory world of the owner of the shrine, so he had to be extremely vigilant.
"Every time I go out, the system will prompt me. I feel that the system has become more humane in the memory world of the shrine owner, and it has become more talkative...Wait a minute, is the prompt in my mind really the voice of the system?"
Han Fei stood at the door of the room. He felt that he could not rely on the system notification sound to stay awake. This was only the second day. If he was used to the notification sound, if the notification sound suddenly disappeared one day, or it prompted something else.
, he will probably get lost.
"This is probably the most difficult task I have ever done."
After leaving the rental house, Han Fei listened to various sounds in his ears, including TV commercials, couples quarreling over trivial matters, and voices scolding children.
These sounds gave Han Fei a very familiar feeling, as if he had lived here for a long time.
"Am I being assimilated by the memory of the owner of the shrine? I have never died, so why do I suddenly feel like this? Is it because I fell asleep? But if I don't sleep, my mood value will slowly decrease, and my body will also be affected. In the end
It’s still a dead end.”
Slowly walking to the entrance of the corridor, Han Fei glanced towards the third floor. All the sounds disappeared between the third and second floors. The third floor seemed to belong to another world.
His steps began to move unconsciously, and Han Fei walked up to the third floor step by step. When he stopped at the door of Room 13, his mood level began to drop again.
"Forget it, let's go to work first."
Running out of the apartment building, Han Fei gasped for air. He didn't understand why he was afraid.
Turning his head and looking up, he saw that a window on the third floor was not closed tightly. Two hands were holding the window sill, half of his face was exposed from behind the window, and two black eyes were staring at Han Fei.
A paper ball was thrown from the crack of the window, and half of the face and mouth were opened, as if he wanted to say something to Han Fei.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Fei picked up the paper ball on the ground and opened it.
There were black symbols drawn on the ball of paper, as if something had been smashed. Looking at the other side of the ball of paper, there were several twisted words on it - You will die too.
"Is this a curse? Or a reminder?"
Han Fei stuffed the paper ball into his pocket, ran quickly outside the residential area without looking back.
When they came to the first alley, the homeless man did not run out of the corner this time. When he saw Han Fei, he giggled and said to Han Fei - good people will be safe tonight.
"You are safe tonight." Han Fei replied casually without much thought. However, after hearing this, the homeless man felt as if he had seen a ghost. The smile on his face suddenly stopped, and he shrank into the corner while dragging his small wooden box.
.
"Is there something wrong with what I said? Or did he just see something?"
Han Fei did not miss this detail, but he held the homeless man and asked him for a long time, but he still couldn't find out anything. He even made the lame dog bark in fear.
"Your dog is quite ferocious." Han Fei remembered that when he came here before, the dog never barked.
Without wasting any more time, Han Fei entered the second alley. The houses on both sides rarely had lights on and looked extremely deserted.
"Two alleys, a small park, and then a stone bridge..." Han Fei had already memorized the road. He wanted to avoid the small park like last time, but he was surprised to find that the little boy in Room 7 was actually a
Man sitting on a swing in the park.
With his blue schoolbag and muddy clothes, the little boy was holding on to the swing, as if he was talking to the people around him, but he was clearly alone around him.
"Hey!" Han Fei stood outside the small park and shouted to the child: "It's dark, you should go home quickly! Don't stay outside alone!"
The little boy heard Han Fei's voice and seemed to be afraid that Han Fei would see his friend. He whispered a few words behind him and then hurried towards Han Fei carrying a big schoolbag.
There was sweat on his face and mud on his clothes, as if he had gone to play near the shallows alone.
"Uncle, don't tell my dad, please."
"What time is it now? Why are you still outside?" Han Fei began to pay special attention to this boy since he knew that the boy was Shi Zhi's child.
"My father wanted to treat my mother, so he kicked me out. He asked me to play outside first and then go home after ten o'clock."
"Then don't go to those dangerous places!" Han Fei helped the boy wipe the dirt on his face: "What disease does your mother have? I don't think I have ever seen her before."
"My mother hasn't gone out for several years. She has been lying in the bedroom, not talking, always wrapped in the quilt and sleeping, as if she can't wake up no matter what."
"Don't you usually communicate with your mother much?"
"Dad always locks the bedroom door before going to work. Only when he comes back can he see his mother." The boy's words frightened Han Fei. He now doubted whether the boy's mother had died long ago.
"No matter what, you can't run around, and you must pay attention to safety. Only by living well can you protect the people you want to protect." Han Fei knew that what he said was a bit harsh. After he asked the boy to go back, he headed towards the small park.
He took a look inside and saw that the swing was still swinging back and forth, as if inviting him to sit on it and play.
"The world feels less and less normal."
Bypassing the small park, Han Fei walked a long way to the stone bridge. Looking at the sand river flowing quietly in the dark night, Han Fei always had an urge to jump in his heart.
"Go to work, go to work, don't think so much!"
After running across the stone bridge, Han Fei successfully arrived at Gate C of the shopping mall. He took a look at his attribute screen and found that his mood value had dropped from sixty to fifty-five.
Entering the mall, Han Fei saw the male security guard from last night - Li Daxing.
"Hey, you are actually still alive?"
"You work in that dead man's shop. If you die, you will die first."
After the two greeted each other politely, they went about their own business.
When Han Fei entered the thrift store, Oriole was talking to a young employee. The general idea was that the employee didn't finish his work, causing them to work overtime.
Maybe because Han Fei came in, Oriole wanted to save some face for the young employee, so he deliberately lowered his voice.
"What's going on?" Han Fei always felt that arguing could not solve any problems, especially in a world like this.
"A large number of new goods arrived in the warehouse, and the boss asked that they be sorted out before tomorrow morning. But this guy was lazy and didn't get it all day long!" Oriole was very angry: "I've been up for two nights, and I thought I could get it done tonight.
Have a good sleep, it looks like you have to stay and work overtime again!"
"Sister Huang, there are really many customers coming to the door today, and I am not idle either." The young man was very aggrieved: "I will go and sort it out now, and I will never let you two work more."
"I'll come with you. I just want to get familiar with the warehouse." Han Fei took the initiative to stand with the young man. He was very motivated to work. Many bosses liked employees like him.
"This is the only way." Oriole checked the accounts at the counter, while Han Fei followed the young man and entered the underground warehouse through the freight elevator inside the thrift store.
This underground warehouse is adjacent to the warehouse of the underground supermarket in the shopping mall, with only a wall in between.
"Hey, new guy." The young man felt much more relaxed in front of Han Fei, probably because they both looked young: "Why did you come here to work the night shift? I'm not trying to scare you, you
You must pay attention to safety when you are on duty at night, this place is not very clean."
After the young man went underground along the freight elevator, he whispered to Han Fei: "The old man who was responsible for training me in this store passed away some time ago. He died in the store. It was very scary."
"I can't help it, I'm short of money." Han Fei smiled shyly.
"The night shift salary is indeed high, almost twice that of our day shift, but not everyone can work the night shift." The young man shook his head and took out his mobile phone: "Add a friend, my name is Pei Yang."
"What you said makes me feel scared. Can you tell me more specifically so that I can be mentally prepared?" Han Fei also took out his mobile phone. He added friends while starting to talk.
"The boss didn't let me mention it. I guess he didn't understand what was going on. Anyway, remember, don't go to bed or stay in the house in the middle of the night. It's best to sit in front of the store. If the store
If there's anything unusual inside, run away." Pei Yang was really reminding Han Fei.
"Can't sleep? But when I came back last night, Sister Huang just woke up. She slept very soundly, didn't she?"
"Have you noticed..." Pei Yang stopped suddenly, and then said very carefully: "Oriole has been particularly abnormal recently?"
"What's the meaning?"
"The old clerk who trained me was very abnormal some time before he passed away. His personality, mood, and tone of voice sometimes seemed like a different person." Pei Yang couldn't help clenching his fingers, and the sweat on his palms could be seen.
It can be seen that he is a little nervous and scared now: "No more words, work, work."
Pei Yang really didn't mention a word, kept his head down while working, and rarely even communicated with Han Fei.
The two of them sorted and placed the newly delivered second-hand goods. After working for almost forty minutes, Pei Yang ran away secretly on the grounds that he was about to miss the last train.
Oriole was very angry when she found out about this and insisted on calling Pei Yang, but Han Fei stopped her.
After learning how to keep accounts and memorizing the classification standards for various used goods, Han Fei asked Oriole to rest first, and he could do the rest of the work alone.
A person's energy is limited. Oriole visited the store last night and was busy in the store during the day. Her current mental state is very poor.
"You are almost a thousand times better than that kid. The boss really did good deeds in his previous life and met such a good person like you." Oriole was indeed very tired, and her haggardness could be seen with the naked eye: "Those goods underground are just like that.
I’ll leave it to you. If you really can’t finish it, that’s okay. I’ll tell the boss tomorrow.”
"It should be fine before dawn."
As soon as Han Fei agreed, the system's voice came to his ears: "Attention, player number 0000! You have successfully triggered the random task of the shrine - tidying up the warehouse!"
"Tidy up the warehouse (shrine random task): You must tidy up the warehouse before dawn and clearly mark the prices for all souls."
Han Fei didn't expect that this could also trigger the shrine's random mission. He thought that organizing the warehouse was a trivial matter, but now he didn't dare to be careless at all.
"Is there also the regret of the owner of the shrine hidden in the warehouse?"
No longer caring about Oriole, Han Fei took the account book and storage list and went underground. When he entered the underground warehouse alone, his mood value began to slowly decline again.
"It seems that as long as a ghost appears, my mood value will drop. The rate of decline seems to be related to the strength of the ghost." Han Fei walked around the warehouse, opened boxes and packages of used goods, and began to give them according to the store's standards.
Those used prices.
After about an hour, Han Fei's mood value dropped from fifty to forty-two. At this time, he felt that the surroundings were very quiet. There were no footsteps or people talking in the mall above him. It seemed that the whole world was filled with nothing but...
He is alone.
"I won the title of Good Guy, and the rate of decrease in my mood value has slowed down a lot. If I hadn't won that title at the beginning, wouldn't I be able to survive the second night smoothly?"
Han Fei arranged the old goods one by one, put price tags on them, and placed them on the shelves in the warehouse.
He moved very quickly, but even so, he couldn't put out so many used goods in a short time. When his mood value dropped to more than 30, Han Fei decided to leave the warehouse first.
He stepped back, but as he turned around, the lights in the warehouse suddenly went out.
Darkness fell, and Han Fei took a breath of cold air.
He could hear his heart pounding in his chest, and his mood values began to drop rapidly.
Trying to get his eyes used to the darkness, Han Fei remembered the locations of all the shelves and returned without touching anything along the way.
But when he climbed up the freight elevator, he found that the entrance and exit barriers had been covered and couldn't be opened!
"Even if your heart stops beating, you can still live here and live here forever..."
I vaguely heard a voice in my ears. The voice seemed to come from my mind or from the depths of the warehouse. It seemed to be calling Han Fei, hoping that Han Fei would come over.
