Chapter 411 Night Cashier


    "Then what?"


    Wu Xian asked curiously.


    The mad woman looked sarcastic.


    "If it happens, that old man won''t be able to live here to tell stories."


    "When that old man was young, he was a scumbag who kidnapped and imprisoned women many times and committed many major crimes. But that night he secretly cried under the bed all night. When the next morning, the woman went out for a walk, he He just ran away in a hurry, and then he suffered from a fear of women..."


    Wu Xian raised his eyebrows: "It''s a pity that this scumbag is not dead, but at least he won''t commit crimes again."


    "You''re thinking too much!" the mad woman said with a strange expression. "In the past ten years, he has never kidnapped a woman, but he has not stopped committing crimes... Especially a man like you is his first choice."


    Wu Xian''s smile stiffened: "He should be dead."


    "He''s dead. I cut his throat while he wasn''t paying attention, but his body escaped while standing upside down." The mad woman still felt a little pity.


    Wu Xian nodded, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the crazy woman in surprise.


    He suddenly realized that the crazy woman had just told a logically complete story. There was no madness, no weird laughter, and no weird behaviors such as leaping, picking her nose, and spitting.


    "Are you feeling better?"


    The crazy woman''s expression froze, then her face turned gray, and she just nodded numbly.


    For her, it was more comfortable to go crazy in this hopeless underground maze.


    The mad woman didn''t say much after that.


    He just echoed one after another, sitting on the ground with his head lowered and his expression gloomy, obviously thinking of something sad.


    Been busy for so long.


    Wu Xian felt a little tired.


    He looked at the time and realized that twenty-four hours had passed since the last time he told a story. It was time to tell another story and create eight hours of safe time so that everyone could relax and rest for a while.


    But Wu Xian still didn''t want to tell the story.


    According to his speculation, telling stories in the cave will summon an evil spirit that has been saved.


    The storytellers before were all natives of this world, and the evil spirits in the story were also evil spirits still alive in this world, so friendly evil spirits would be summoned.


    But Wu Xian''s situation is different. He is not a native of this world. According to the stories he has personally experienced, most of the evil spirits have been killed, and the evil spirits that are still alive are also absolute enemies.


    Therefore, Wu Xian felt that if he told a story, he would either be unable to light the palace lantern or summon an enemy out of thin air.


    Since there are no good things happening on either side, it is better to continue to let the natives tell stories. Even if the summoned friendly evil spirits cannot help him fight, they can still draw some energy from the maze owner.


    "Gong Xiujuan, it''s up to you to tell tonight''s story."


    The story of the mad woman had been told before Wu Xian arrived. Zhao Zixuan had not yet adapted to the cave environment, so Wu Xian chose Gong Xiujuan.


    Gong Xiujuan hesitated for a moment, then sat down in front of the big-eared stone statue.


    Unlike Huang Debiao and his wife, Gong Xiujuan really wanted to find someone to talk to and let others know what she had gone through, but she never had the chance. "I''m twenty-three years old and just graduated from college a few months ago."


    "My alma mater is a second-tier college at the bottom. Most of the companies that come to our school to recruit are just looking for talented people. At that time, I had a high self-esteem and felt that this kind of job was not worthy of me."


    "So, I lost my job right after graduation. Because I was afraid of losing face, I didn''t go to my parents for help, so I could only wander around the big city alone..."


    When Gong Xiujuan told this experience, her face was full of emotion. It''s a pity that Wu Xian dropped out of school early, Zhao Zixuan was still a high school student, and the crazy woman was still in emo. No one at the scene could sympathize with her.


    "Just when I was about to run out of money and couldn''t help but want to work in a bar, I suddenly found a recruitment advertisement."


    "Guiwufu Supermarket is recruiting night shift cashiers. She works eight hours a day and earns a monthly salary of 12,000. The only condition is to keep her mouth shut and not tell the secrets of the supermarket."


    The three of them looked at Gong Xiujuan at the same time, their eyes seemed to care for the mentally retarded.


    Gong Xiujuan smiled bitterly: "This kind of salary is rare in large companies. Of course I knew it was probably a scam, but I was desperate at the time and could only go over and give it a try."


    "But when I arrived at the supermarket, I discovered that this supermarket closes at ten o''clock every night and only opens at eight o''clock in the morning. There is no night shift cashier position at all."


    "That job advertisement was fake, but it was just a prank, not a more dangerous scam."


    "Fortunately, this supermarket happened to be recruiting employees, so I successfully stayed and worked in the supermarket. Although the salary was not high, I could at least survive in this city!"


    "But what''s a little strange is that during the interview, the boss specifically told me to keep my mouth shut and not tell the secrets of the supermarket to the outside world."


    "How can a supermarket have any secrets?"


    “I’ve been working here for a few days, and the bad things I’ve seen are nothing more than using bad fruits to make fruit cuts, bundling products that are about to expire, and deceiving customers into saving points without actually intending to issue points. Welfare…"


    "I plan to study hard after my work is on track and try to get a decent job as soon as possible."


    "But as my working hours lengthened, I found that I was often inexplicably tired. I would occasionally be in a trance at work. Once I got home, I would be so tired that I wanted to sleep, let alone find time to study!"


    "At first I felt very guilty. I, a crispy college student, couldn''t even do such a simple job."


    "But slowly I realized something was wrong."


    "Even if I doze off at work, my colleagues and bosses won''t complain about me. My salary is still paid in full, and my luck has also become very good. I often get some extra income, such as picking up red envelopes on the way to get off work. You can win big prizes by buying scratch-off tickets, you can get consumer coupons by holding employee activities in supermarkets, etc..."


    "Later I calculated that the windfall I received every month, plus my salary from working in the supermarket, was exactly 12,000 yuan!"


    “Exactly the same salary as a night shift cashier!”


    "This made me feel horrible. I hurried home to check the work contract signed with the supermarket, only to find that it was clearly written on the contract as a ''night shift cashier'' with a salary of 12,000 a month!"


    "All this made me feel weird, so I resigned from the supermarket. On the day I left, all the employees in the supermarket came to see me off, especially the butcher shop owner. He shook my hand and said that it was a pleasure to work with me. We will continue to cooperate in the future!”


    "But I don''t know him at all!"


    Until now.


    Gong Xiujuan still remembers that on the day she resigned, all the supermarket employees stood neatly in front of the supermarket, waving to her and smiling neatly at her.
