"It can't be so fierce, right? As soon as the horror bookstore was built, there were ghosts haunting it?" I subconsciously let go of the hand holding the doorknob and looked out of the store in fear.
It is now 11 o'clock in the evening, and the night is very dark. Although there are two pale white lanterns hanging outside the store, they still cannot dispel the gloomy darkness.
I saw an erratic ghostly figure standing outside the gloomy and dark store. This ghostly figure was wrapped in blood and wandered back anxiously between the two roly-poly dolls, causing a manic stomping sound to be heard outside the store.
.
Ta da da, da da, da da da,
The sound of stomping feet became louder and louder, gradually occupying my ears, and I took a few quick breaths.
"I'm not even in a hurry to escape. Why are you so anxious to eat me?" Dragging my twitching body, I slowly approached the glass door, trying to further observe the ghost outside the store.
Fortunately, the material of this glass door is one-way reflective glass.
Under the isolation of one-way reflective glass, the inside of the store can be seen outside the store, but the outside of the store cannot see inside the store.
In other words, I can observe the ghost unscrupulously, but it cannot see me across the door.
If the store door wasn't made of one-way reflective glass, I would have fled back to the employee breakroom shivering, never daring to observe this ghostly figure up close.
"Long live technology." I muttered secretly, then put my eyes on the glass door and continued to peek at the ghost figures outside the store.
But the outside of the store was empty, and there were no ghosts at all.
"It took just a few breaths for the ghost figure to disappear?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I was about to remove my eyes from the glass door.
But before I could take my eyes away, a pair of narrow pupils appeared outside the glass door.
The pair of narrow pupils were pressed against the glass door, peeking at me from outside the store.
"Could it be the eyes of that ghost? Ah, ghost!" I was startled, and then my body lost balance.
"Plop", there was a sound, and I fell on my back.
As if hearing my scream, the glass door shook, and the ghost actually started to push the glass door.
"Oops, the glass door is only ajar, I didn't lock it just now! It's coming in!" The danger was imminent, and I fell to the ground but was at a loss what to do, so I could only look at the glass door in horror.
There was a sound of swaying wind chimes, the glass door was easily pushed open, and a shadow wrapped in red walked into the horror bookstore.
Seeing me falling to the ground with a look of horror on my face, the shadow chuckled: "Brother Xiaofan, did my sister scare you?"
I put my hands on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Ya, you scared me to death. What were you doing outside the store at night?"
That's right, the ghostly figure wandering outside the store just now, including the pair of narrow eyes outside the door, were all just Gu Ya wearing a tight red dress.
"What else can sister do? Of course I have trouble with you." Gu Ya said angrily, squatting down and trying to help me up.
The beauty squatted down, and I could vaguely see the pink vagina under her body.
Gu Ya was supporting me seriously, but when she saw that my eyes were impure, she spread her hands angrily. I didn't pay attention for a moment, and fell to the ground again, feeling a pain in my waist.
"Do you still want me to help you up? If you want, just keep your sneaky eyes away, hum!" Gu Ya put her hands on her hips and snorted coldly.
"Sister Ya, where is the spy? My brother is in great pain, please help me quickly!" I pretended to be confused and looked away.
"Brother Xiaofan, you just looked at it and pretended to be a hammer." The coldness on Gu Ya's face disappeared. She covered her mouth and smiled for a while, then helped me up again.
After helping me up, Gu Ya finally noticed everything in the bookstore, the weird wooden platform, the blood-red couplets next to the wooden platform, and the pairs of mahogany books that looked like coffins.
The racks had already frightened her, not to mention the ghastly and terrifying murals on the surrounding walls.
Fortunately, Gu Ya didn't look up at the ceiling. If she saw the dense red leather lanterns on the ceiling, she would definitely run away.
"Brother Xiaofan, do you open a bookstore or a ghost store?!" Gu Ya crossed her arms and her body was trembling slightly.
"I run a bookstore, what's wrong?" I blurted out.
But as soon as I finished speaking, I felt something was wrong and said again: "Sister Ya, how did you know that I opened a bookstore?"
The code has tampered with website information and made the horror bookstore legal and reasonable, but how will it respond to memories that people have believed in for a long time?
After all, the horror bookstore appeared out of thin air. People had never seen this bookstore before, so how could they have the memory of the bookstore?
Although I vaguely knew what method it would use, I couldn't help but ask Gu Ya.
As expected, Gu Ya was stunned for a few seconds and then said slowly: "Didn't you tell the public a long time ago that you were going to open a different kind of bookstore in Shelou? I have been hearing about it in the massage parlor these days.
Judging from the noisy construction sound, it must be that my brother's bookstore is under urgent construction."
"That's it." I replied absentmindedly, and then continued to ask: "The bookstore I open is so weird, doesn't Sister Ya find it strange?"
"I don't think it's strange, but this bookstore opened by my brother is really weird. It deserves to be called a horror bookstore. The two dolls outside the store alone scared my sister to death, not to mention the creepy couplets.
What kind of ghost is accompanying me to study? It's too scary!" Gu Ya replied with a tense face and fear in her heart.
It turned out that the reason why Gu Ya was wandering back and forth outside the store was not because she was anxious, but because she was too scared, afraid of the two lifelike roly-poly dolls, and even more afraid of the strange couplet posted at the door.
"I didn't expect that Sister Ya, who dominates several streets, would be scared. Aren't you afraid of everything?" I patted the dust on my body and said with a smile.
Hearing the sarcasm in my words, Gu Ya pouted: "Brother Xiaofan, you still have the nerve to laugh at me. Who was so frightened by my sister that she fell down just now? Huh! If I had known, my sister wouldn't have helped you."
"Well, it's unexpected. I was careless just now. Sister Ya, please don't expose my scars." I smiled sarcastically, but secretly said in my heart: "Gu Ya's massage parlor is located next to the horror bookstore. Since she
If you don’t find it strange, then others won’t be suspicious either.”
No one doubts it, so I can run the bookstore safely without worrying about trouble.
What I'm most afraid of is that the code will only tamper with website information but not help me deal with people's memories. Once it forgets to deal with this matter, it will cause me endless trouble.
However, I always follow the rules and follow the rules, so it was obvious that I was overthinking it.
After sorting out this urgent matter, I asked again: "Sister Ya, what do you want from me? Come on, tell me. If you don't tell me, I will close the store."
"Don't rush me! Brother Xiaofan, why don't you just close this store? It's too crowded." Gu Ya retreated outside the glass door and did not dare to enter the store again, because the decoration inside the store was too shocking.
.
However, the decoration outside the store was not much better. It was just as weird and scary. Gu Ya could only shrink back and deliberately hide her sight from looking at the white lanterns above and the couplets on both sides of the store door.
"Sister Ya, please leave me alone. The bookstore will open for the first time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Please come and help me then." I grinned, like a little money addict.
"No, don't mess with my sister. My sister would rather give you pleasure than step into a bookstore, and you still want me to help you? Get out!" Gu Ya replied tremblingly.
"Come on then." I said.
"What's coming?" Gu Ya was startled, wondering what I was talking nonsense about.
"Come and have fun, didn't you say you would rather give me pleasure than go into the bookstore? You are lying to me
,Sigh." I pretended to feel sorry, shook my head and sighed.
"Well, you little brother, how dare you entertain my sister? Now, let's get down to business. What do you think about what I just told you at the massage parlor? Can you rent me a room cheaply?" Gu Ya finally said
Tell me what you want from me.
"The rooms in the Snake Tower are all single rooms, why are you renting them?" I asked. After I asked, I remembered that I had asked this question before, but I had something on my mind at the time and did not listen carefully to Gu Ya's answer.
"Brother Xiaofan, why are you asking again? My sister already answered the question at the massage parlor. She rented it to Gu Tongtong." Knowing that I didn't listen to her carefully at that time, Gu Ya was a little angry.
"I was thinking about something at the time, so I didn't pay attention. Sister, don't blame me. By the way, Gu Tongtong is only five years old. She needs to rent a room by herself?" A puzzled expression appeared on my face.
"Of course not, we still live in the original rental house, but the original rental house is too far away from the massage parlor. It is difficult to take care of Gu Tongtong when I am working, and I don't want to bring Gu Tongtong to the massage parlor. After all, I
Some jobs are not suitable for children.”
"So my sister wanted to rent a single room in the Shelou and put Gu Tongtong in the Shelou when she was working. This way, my sister could take care of Gu Tongtong while working."
Gu Ya kept talking, forgetting her fear of bookstores for a moment.
After listening to these words, I finally understood the reason why Gu Ya rented a house from me. It was to take better care of Gu Tongtong.
"In other words, you rent the single room above the Snake Building just to facilitate taking care of Gu Tongtong? After you close the shop and get off work, will you still return to the original rental?" I asked.
"Yes what's the matter?"
"It's nothing. Gu Tongtong has already gone to kindergarten. There are teachers taking care of him in the kindergarten. You don't need to take care of him yourself."
"There are always times after school and holidays. Just like today, I have to take care of Tongtong and open a shop. My sister is so busy that she is upset and angry. You know, my sister usually works very late at work. When she gets busy,
It would be difficult to take care of Gu Tongtong, so it would be much more convenient if I had a single room in Shelou. When I have free time, I can go up and see Gu Tongtong, and then return to the original rental house with her when I get off work."
"This, um, is quite convenient." I had a sullen face, not knowing what I was thinking.
"Then can you rent me a room cheaply? For the sake of my sister's good intentions, brother Xiaofan will agree, right?" Gu Ya said with a pleading look on her face.
"Yes, yes, but..." At this point, I paused and did not continue.
That's right, I am the current landlord of Snake House, and I can indeed rent a room to Gu Ya.
But the Snake Tower is too eerie and weird. Before that, it was the hiding place of the Snake Tribe, and it was always filled with some mysterious atmosphere.
If I rashly rent a room to Gu Ya and her daughter, I am afraid that they will be contaminated by these smells. Once they are contaminated by these smells, they will be involved in the whirlpool of trouble. How can I push them into the pit of fire?
Moreover, I still don’t know who the two tenants who left early are, and I don’t know if they are dormant nearby, watching me eagerly.
"If I rent a house to Gu Ya and her daughter, once the two tenants return to Shelou, will they take action against Gu Ya and her daughter?" I frowned, hesitant in my heart.
Seeing my silence, Gu Ya thought I was unwilling to agree, and immediately became dissatisfied: "But what? Okay, brother Xiaofan doesn't have to make excuses anymore. Sister just doesn't bother my brother."
After saying that, Gu Ya wanted to turn around and leave. I immediately grabbed her and said with a bitter look on her face: "Sister Ya, I was willing to arrange a job for you before. How could I reject you for such a small matter as renting a house? It's just...
…”
I still couldn't tell it, because the secrets of Snake House were very extensive and I was reluctant to tell Gu Ya.
"It's just? Are you afraid that my sister won't have money to pay the rent? My sister is not short of that little money." Gu Ya crossed her arms and said coldly.
