=========================================================
The one-eyed shopkeeper didn't hear Han Fei's last words clearly, his eyes reflected Han Fei's figure, and he always felt that the future might not be so peaceful anymore.
"From the time your picture was nailed together with the paper man, you are the new employee of the store, now I'll take you to a place where only store employees can go."
Coughing a few times, the one-eyed clerk led Han Fei into a room next to the warehouse, a room with two doors inside, one connected to the warehouse, and another just close enough for a foul odor to be smelled.
"This is the garbage disposal room, the door on the left leads to the warehouse, and the door on the right leads to the back alley." The one-eyed clerk walked towards the door of the room that emitted a foul smell and pushed it open with force, outside a dark alley more than ten meters long, three huge garbage bins were placed side by side in the alley, and the pungent stench was wafting out from the bins.
"You have to pay attention to cleaning the shelves every day and throwing the expired and spoiled 'goods' into the dumpster."
"What if the dumpster is full?" Han Fei glanced outside, there was a dumpster full of store clerk's uniforms, most of those uniforms were in tatters and stained with blood, you could tell how much pain the owner of the clothes was in before he died.
"That's not something you should worry about." The one-eyed clerk gestured for Han Fei to come over: "The hygiene of the back alley also needs to be taken care of by us, there are many 'rats' in this back alley, so special attention should be paid when cleaning."
"Understood." Han Fei looked into the dark alley, and when he saw the end of the alley, he suddenly froze.
The other side of the alley connected to the road, and across the road was a ramshackle school.
The signboard of that school had faded and it took a lot of effort before Han Fei could barely recognize the word Yimin.
"I didn't expect that across the convenience store and across the street was Yimin Private Academy."
Han Fei memorized the map, he knew the location of the school, but if he went from the road, he would have to make a big detour to get to Yimin Private Academy, and he might encounter some danger on the way.
After becoming a convenience store employee, he didn't expect to find a shortcut.
"Happiness neighborhood, Yimin convenience store, and Yimin private academy, these three can exactly be connected into a line if I can become the store manager and principal ..."
"Ding Ding!"
Han Fei was daydreaming when the bell at the entrance of the convenience store suddenly rang, and the one-eyed clerk immediately led Han Fei back to the store.
There was still no one in the empty store, but the temperature seemed to have dropped a bit.
"The new shopkeeper's uniform is in the preparation room, go and change, I'll receive this customer." The one-eyed clerk's tone had no ripples.
"Someone came in?"
Han Fei swept the empty room, to not miss this opportunity to learn from his seniors, he hurriedly ran into the staff preparation room, but when he changed and came out, the temperature inside the store had returned to normal, and the one-eyed clerk was cleaning up a puddle of black blood on the floor.
"Has that customer left yet?"
"No." After the one-eyed clerk cleaned up the blood on the floor, he entered the garbage disposal room. Han Fei walked to the place where the other party had just stopped and found an extra piece of white wax on the shelf.
"This is naked... Naked. Naked black store ah! Only when the water is fine and the customer's feelings are taken care of will they come back often, and who will dare to come in after they are driven out? No wonder business is so bad here."
Han Fei is an actor himself, and after putting on the shopkeeper's uniform, he looks more like an employee here than One Eye.
"The back alley trash cans are stuffed with blood-stained clerk uniforms and the walls are covered with pictures of deceased employees, so it looks like this is a high-risk industry." Han Fei walked to the door of the convenience store: "The store owner is short-sighted, not a business material, following him has no future, but may take his own life into it, I can not hang myself on a rope, to leave myself a way back."
Reaching out to touch the convenience store room door, after becoming a clerk, Han Fei opened the door with a little force, except that the ghost pattern on his body seemed to be scalded by hot water, and began to struggle and tremble.
"I did not feel anything, but the ghost tattoo began to suffer, it seems that the labor contract was indeed signed on the ghost tattoo."
Han Fei's mind instantly emerged several plans: "When the ghosts with Yin energy on them enter the premises, the bell on the store door will make a sound, but the bell did not react at all when I approached the door, and it seems that everything in this convenience store is prepared for the spirits. And yes, normally, who would think that a living person would specifically run to the netherworld to work in a convenience store."
Taking a step back, as soon as Han Fei left the door of the store, the ghost tattoo would no longer feel pain.
"The contract of the convenience store is signed to the ghost tattoo, no matter what I do, it is the ghost tattoo that suffers the price of the curse." As his eyes scanned the convenience store, Han Fei came up with a bold idea: "Should I take advantage of this opportunity to move all the most valuable things in this store? A ghost tattoo for a large pile of 'goods', no matter how you calculate it is very profitable ah!"
If the ghost had known what Han Fei was thinking, he would have been furious and his soul would have fallen apart.
"If you cash out directly and leave, it's a one-shot deal. It's better to settle grievances than to settle knots. I'm still thinking of making the apartment building, the store, and the school into an integrated community, so if I completely anger the store owner, then the subsequent plan will fall through." Having figured this out, Han Fei decided to work well in the store first, or at least finish the main task before saying, "You can be a ghost without a vision, but you must have a vision to be a human being."
Han Fei stood in front of the store, the old man with the thick paper money kept sneaking around outside, he seemed to still want to hit Han Fei, but did not dare to come in.
"This old man is a nuisance, it's better to get rid of him as soon as possible." Han Fei looked back, the one-eyed clerk hadn't returned yet, he once again touched the store entrance and pretended to look like he wanted to escape out of the convenience store.
I don't blame the old man for his weak powers of discernment, but Han Fei's acting skills were so strong that he showed all that hesitation, struggle, fear, and trepidation.
Seeing Han Fei seemed to want to leave the convenience store, the old man quietly came over, he seemed to be afraid of others competing with him and did not dare to make too much noise.
"That convenience store eats people! It's not too late for you to come with me!" The old man lowered his voice: "I'm here to save you at the risk of offending the store owner, trust me, as long as you can run across the street you'll be fine."
Han Fei's eyes were torn, and he clenched his teeth as if he was feeling extreme anguish inside.
"You still have a chance to leave now, after a while, you won't be able to run away if you want to! I'll take you to a safe place!" The old man kept persuading, he sensed that Han Fei was slowly wavering.
His hand grabbed the door of the store, and the back of his hand burst out a blue tendon, Han Fei almost bit the blood out of his gums, he looked across the street and finally made up his mind.
As soon as he pulled open the door of the convenience store when Han Fei tried to leave the store, the ghost tattoo on his body kept emitting screams and pleas for mercy. The ghost monster trapped in the ghost tattoo still didn't know what was happening outside and thought Han Fei was torturing it on purpose.
"I can't get out! The skin is going to be peeled off!" While the miserable scream came from the ghost tattoo, Han Fei also let out a hiss of pain.
"Grab my hand!" The old man took the initiative to grab Han Fei's arm, a grim smile appeared on his face, and his wrinkled face looked excitedly at Han Fei.
But what made him feel vaguely uneasy was that Han Fei was clearly letting out an ear-piercing scream, but his face was also wearing a smile.
"Touch the deepest secrets of the soul!"
Ten points of physical strength burst out with amazing power, and the old man took a step forward when he was caught off guard, and Han Fei yanked his wrist into the middle of the convenience store.
The soul bell on the door sounded, and the one-eyed clerk floated to the door at some point, and he and Han Fei stared at the old man left and right, and the two squeezed out a smile on their grim faces, then uttered the word in unison.
"Welcome."
