Mysterious country

(Because it is still in the new book period, the update will definitely not be too fast, but Yixiao promises that it will not be slow in updating when it is released on the shelves in the future.)

Thinking of what he might encounter at night, Xia Qi didn't dare to waste any more time, so he quickly found an Internet cafe nearby and got in.

"Eunuch Hai, can we get along with each other in the future? Didn't I say that if I don't contact you for more than 24 hours, you will call the police immediately? There is no movement from you or Sun Long!"

"Fuck, you're crazy yourself, you can't let us be crazy to accompany you too!"

"I'm not making trouble with you. I'm talking about business. I'm really in fucking danger."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I'm in a very dangerous situation recently. I just spent all my tuition for next year..."

Originally, Xia Qi's purpose of calling several of his college friends was to seek their comfort and encouragement, so that they could share his panic.

However, what made him extremely sad was that everyone thought he was joking and didn't care at all.

"These bastards, I have shared weal and woe with them for nothing! Fortunately, I have my own destiny, otherwise I would have died countless times if I had pointed those bastards to the police to save me!"

Xia Qi kept cursing his bad college friends. In fact, they all lived under the same roof some time ago.

The reason why he moved out of the school dormitory was to make it easier for him to find a job and interview, without having to be restrained by the damn dormitory. Who would have thought that he would suffer the consequences.

As a result, now his grandparents cannot be found, his classmates are unreliable, and even the police cannot count on him. You can't call the police and say that you encountered a ghost, or tell the police that the person who killed people in Xinhua Bookstore was a ghost?

This is obviously very unrealistic and unreliable.

After all, few people would believe in extremely weird supernatural beings like ghosts.

"Why!"

Xia Qi sighed irritably. This was the first time since childhood that he felt so helpless.

Fortunately, he is a tough and optimistic person, so he will not be easily defeated by difficulties.

When soldiers come, the water will come and the earth will cover it up. He has always believed that there are always more solutions than difficulties, so when difficulties arise, just find a way to solve them.

Checking the time on the computer, it showed 10:30 a.m., which was still quite a while before he left for his night shift at the bookstore.

Considering that he didn't have any rest last night and his head felt like it was full of paste, Xia Qi decided to sleep in the Internet cafe for a while and then think about the night shift after waking up.

After all, he needs a clear mind to think.

However, something that was beyond Xia Qi's expectation was that he slept until about four o'clock in the afternoon. Although he did not get much physical relaxation, fortunately, his mind was much clearer than before.

After running to the bathroom and washing his face, Xia Qi returned to the computer and started searching on the Internet.

[What to do if you hit a ghost]

[How to avoid being chased by ghosts]

[Methods to restrain ghosts]

[How to kill ghosts...]

After searching the Internet for a long time, Xia Qi finally gave in to the various answers on the Internet.

There were everything mentioned above, and what made him feel like he had been shot in the knee several times was that behind every answer, there were many people who either maliciously slandered or criticized severely, and it was impossible to tell who said it. Yes, who said it was wrong?

Which one is a solution, and which one is seeking death.

The only method above that is less controversial is the "ghosts are afraid of evil people" theory that he tried last night.

He said that you should not be afraid when you encounter a ghost. You must behave fiercely and ferociously. Not only should you scold the ghost fiercely, but you should also rush over and beat the ghost angrily.

"I can't watch it anymore. If I continue to watch it, I really don't know what kind of stupid things I will do. No one on the Internet can rely on common sense!"

Since there is no way to deal with ghosts on the Internet, there is no point in continuing to stay in this Internet cafe.

After getting off the plane and leaving the Internet cafe, Xia Qi took a taxi and went to a comprehensive supermarket near Xinhua Bookstore.

Of course he comes here not only to buy some snacks, but more importantly to prepare for the upcoming "duty".

In this way, Xia Qi walked in the supermarket until almost 6 o'clock before leaving with two large bags. After that, he called a taxi and took him to Xinhua Bookstore.

Because the time has not passed 6 o'clock, Xinhua Bookstore is still open for business as usual. There are a lot of customers in the store and the staff are very busy. Xia Qi thought about it. If he hadn't experienced it personally, I'm afraid no one would believe that this place would turn into a terrifying steamer hell at night.

He was not too surprised that so many people died in the bookstore but it was still operating in an orderly manner.

Because whenever something like this happens in China, most of it will be suppressed, either concealed or not reported. So the bad events that happened here must have been blocked.

After standing outside the bookstore and carefully observing the situation inside for a while, Xia Qi walked to the parking lot next to the street.

What made them more gratified was that his Audi was still parked inside.

Opening the car door, Xia Qi couldn't wait to get in, feeling somewhat excited.

Although his mother is a Chinese teacher in a key high school, she is not a class teacher and does not tutor students in private, so there is no profit at all. As for his father, it was even more like this. He was a small employee in a public institution, and he also had no money to make.

So strictly speaking, the situation of his family cannot be said to be bad, but it cannot be said to be very good. At most, it can be regarded as an ordinary family.

Of course, this does not include his grandfather. As for his grandfather's situation, he didn't know, because his grandfather usually stayed at his house for food and accommodation. Anyway, in his memory, he had never seen his grandfather take money out of his pocket.

Because he comes from an ordinary family, Xia Qi's dreams have been related to material satisfaction since childhood.

For example, dreams of living in a big villa, driving a good car, and having a good job.

To borrow a sentence from one of his bad friends in college, it would be that his dream had no technical level at all, and was really vulgar.

So this Audi is definitely a big surprise for Xia Qi. Although it was followed by great shock.

Xia Qi remembered that the middle-aged uncle would come over soon, so he was not in a hurry to go to the bookstore right now.

Turning on the radio in the car and switching to a channel with relaxing music, Xia Qi couldn't help but hum happily. In just a short while, he felt that a lot of the haze that had enveloped his heart had dissipated.

After staying in the car for almost an hour, Xia Qi reluctantly got out of the car, and then walked heavily to Xinhua Bookstore.

When Xia Qi came to the bookstore, the bookstore had been closed, and the streets not far away looked deserted, with almost no people or cars passing by.

But at the door of the bookstore, there were three people standing there. They were three young people, two women and one man.

Seeing these three people blocking the door, Xia Qi subconsciously looked in the other two directions, but what surprised him was that he did not find the middle-aged uncle.

"Excuse me...are you Xia Qi, Mr. Xia?"

Just when Xia Qi was looking for the middle-aged uncle, a weak-sounding female voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Well, I am."

Although he had guessed that these three people were probably the newcomers the middle-aged uncle had mentioned in the morning, Xia Qi still asked uncertainly:

"You are?"

"We are here to try our jobs. The uncle said you were here too, so he asked us to wait for you here."

"Oh." Xia Qi nodded pretending to understand, then thought about it and asked again:

"What about others? Why didn't I see them?"

"He came before, but it seemed like something was urgent, so he left."

This time, the person who answered Xia Qi was a man with glasses and a voice that sounded like...a eunuch.

Xia Xia Qi's expression suddenly became strange. He tried hard not to laugh out loud, and said in a pretentious tone:

"Well, we are all people of the same class, so it's up to you tonight."

After saying that, without giving the three people any time to react, Xia Qi unlocked the door of the bookstore and walked in first.

It was still dark in the bookstore, and visibility was almost negligible.

Thinking that this place would be haunted at night, and that the ghosts might kill people, Xia Qi felt a chill running down his back, and his legs were trembling slightly.

If you say you are not afraid at this time, you are definitely bragging.

Although they had no idea what was about to happen, the three newcomers still showed varying degrees of fear in the face of the dark environment where they could not see their fingers.

"Why is it so dark here? I can't even see my fingers. I can't see anything!"

"Yeah, at least there should be a light on. This is too scary."

"Everyone, please be careful where you step. I'll take out my phone and shine it now..."

It wasn't until one of the newcomers turned on the flashlight function on his phone that there was some visibility in the bookstore.

Seeing some light, Xia Qi temporarily put down the things in his hands and took out three flashlights.

He kept one for himself, and distributed the other two flashlights to the three newcomers.

"Here are two more flashlights. You three can make do with them. In fact, I don't know where the light switch is."

The reason why Xia Qi bought one less flashlight was not because he wanted to save a dozen dollars, but because he thought the middle-aged uncle would only bring two newcomers.

There is no way to take them into consideration. After all, they have to stay here all night.

The three newcomers were a little surprised that Xia Qihui had prepared flashlights. Apparently they all thought that they could just find the switch to control the lights, and there was no need for a flashlight at all.

"Well... how about we split up and look for it first? There's no way there's no light switch here."

A newcomer suggested after Xia Qi finished speaking.

Regarding the newcomer's proposal, the other two newcomers also expressed their agreement after hearing it. Only Xia Qi shook his head and said:

"Before that, I have a few questions for you."
