Chapter 412

After leaving the supermarket.

Gong Xiujuan hid in the rental room and lived a life of a snail. She planned to find another job after resting enough.

But for some reason, the more she rested, the more tired she became, listless every day; such days were very boring, but as long as she left that bizarre supermarket, it was a thing that made her happy.

This short happiness lasted until one day, when she opened the washing machine.

In the washing machine.

There was a set of clothes, the cashier's clothes, and it was stained with large patches of blood! She hadn't left the room for more than half a month.

But this set of clothes made her want to flee immediately, but as soon as she pulled open the shoe cabinet, she discovered a pair of blood-red high heels in the shoe cabinet.

Next, Gong Xiujuan had more discoveries.

After she resigned, a sum of 12,000 yuan was still deposited into her bank account.

There were several contacts in her mobile phone that she didn't know, one of which was a night shift taxi.

Beside the washing machine was a bottle of detergent specifically used for cleaning bloodstains.

With so much information, even if Gong Xiujuan was slow, she understood that even though she had resigned from the Guiwufu Supermarket, she still hadn't escaped the bizarre things brought by that supermarket.

"Only at this time did I realize that since signing that contract, I had never stayed up late, and would definitely fall asleep before ten o'clock every night."

Wu Xian wasn't surprised by her words at all.

When Gong Xiujuan first fell into the water, Wu Xian discovered that the dark circles under this woman's eyes were as dark as a panda's, even more serious than Wu Xian's.

Gong Xiujuan scratched her hair.

"After that, I made many resistances, such as staying away from this city, or locking myself up at night, but all efforts failed."

"So that night, I put on the cashier's clothes before going to sleep and sewed a micro-camera into the clothes."

"The next morning, I discovered that the camera hadn't been removed, so with fear and curiosity, I played the footage recorded by the camera, and as a result, I discovered..."

Speaking to this point.

Gong Xiujuan suddenly lowered her head.

The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became very bizarre.

Wu Xian was stunned for a moment, a playing card appeared on his fingertips, and Fatty also stood up, its red, yellow, and black fur standing up slightly, baring its teeth and looking at Gong Xiujuan.

Gong Xiujuan raised her head, her face turning pale, only the position of the original dark circles was normal yellow, and her lips were as red as blood.

She put her finger to her lips.

"Shh, things seen in the supermarket cannot be told to outsiders!"

She was still wearing that flannel pajama, but on her feet, she didn't know when, there was an extra pair of bright red high heels.

Zhao Zixuan was scared to retreat while sitting, and the crazy woman was very indifferent.

Wu Xian narrowed his eyes: "I'll ask you one question: are you an enemy?"

Gong Xiujuan pursed her red lips: "Hard to say."

Wu Xian nodded; looking at it this way, the Gong Xiujuan at night was no longer human, but a malevolent entity.

But Gong Xiujuan had been here for more than twenty-four hours and only now showed the characteristics of a malevolent entity, which proved Wu Xian's conjecture.

The Gong Xiujuan who came in before was completely an ordinary person.

But her story involved the Gong Xiujuan at night, which summoned the malevolent entity Gong Xiujuan into her body.

Then Wu Xian looked at the lamp. The palace lantern was floating above, still dim, without a trace of light.

It seemed that dividing the horror story into two stages could summon the malevolent entity into it as long as it involved the malevolent entity, but the story had to be told completely to light the palace lantern.

He explained the current situation to the red-lipped Gong Xiujuan and asked her to continue telling the story.

But this was refused by Gong Xiujuan; she had professional ethics, and even if this was a terrifying underground cave, she wouldn't tell others the supermarket's secrets.

Wu Xian was silent for a moment: "How about this, I'll tell the rest of the story for you; if I'm right, please give me some feedback."

The red-lipped Gong Xiujuan looked at Wu Xian expressionlessly, not knowing whether she was agreeing or refusing.

So Wu Xian took a deep breath and told the story vividly.

"Gong Xiujuan discovered that the sleeping her would suddenly sit up straight at ten o'clock at night, her face turning as pale as a dead person, and after tidying up her clothes, she would call a midnight taxi to the supermarket."

"The supermarket was already closed, but she entered through a small path she knew well."

"At this time, the night was deep, and the supermarket didn't have the lights on, but those employees who should have been off work were still at their posts, standing like wax figures, keeping a bizarre smile on their faces."

"In the pitch-black supermarket, only the meat stall had the lights on, and the boss with a full face of flesh was cutting raw meat mechanically; those meat pieces couldn't be seen in their original appearance, but they were different from the pigs, cows, and sheep in Gong Xiujuan's cognition."

"Several strange guests bought meat at the meat shop and then came to the only checkout counter to queue up and pay Gong Xiujuan. The currency given by these guests was all paper money!"

"Gong Xiujuan looked carefully again and discovered that those guests weren't human bodies under their robes, but malevolent entities that would have nightmares after one look!"

Slap! Wu Xian clapped his palms and looked up at the palace lantern.

"Thus, the story ends."

One second, two seconds...

Whoosh! Inside the palace lantern, a new candle was replaced at some point, and the warm light shone through the lantern, illuminating the entire cave.

The crazy woman, Zhao Zixuan, and the red-lipped Gong Xiujuan all looked at Wu Xian in surprise.

Wu Xian asked the red-lipped Gong Xiujuan: "Is the story I told right?"

The red-lipped Gong Xiujuan shook her head and said: "Maybe right."

Wu Xian smiled.

He knew the red-lipped Gong Xiujuan couldn't give a definitive answer.

Because once she gave a yes or no, she would be revealing the supermarket's information.

The story Wu Xian just told was a reasonable inference based on Gong Xiujuan's story; the midnight taxi, the smiles of the supermarket colleagues, the friendliness of the meat shop boss, these were all information given by Gong Xiujuan herself.

Following this information, inferring what happened that night wasn't difficult for Wu Xian.

This inference couldn't be completely accurate, but it wouldn't be all wrong either.

Anyway, the palace lantern didn't need a completely true story.

When Xia Caoqing told the story on the first day, she also lied; she said she was an innocent girl, but actually she was a bloodthirsty wild plant; she said it was something from not long ago, but actually it was more than ten years ago.

But her story still passed the palace lantern's judgment, lit the palace lantern, and exchanged for safe time.

This showed that to make the palace lantern light up, one didn't need to guarantee the story was completely true, just enough to summon the malevolent entity in and guarantee the story was complete.

Facts proved that Wu Xian's guess was correct.

Wu Xian stretched: "Hmm, the story is finished, it's time for us to rest; the rest time is only eight hours, so don't waste it."
