Chapter 411 Night Shift Cashier

"and then?"

Wu Xian asked curiously.

The crazy woman looked sarcastic.

"If there is a sequel, the old man won't live to tell the story here."

"When the old man was young, he was a scum who had kidnapped and imprisoned women many times and committed many serious crimes. But that night he cried secretly under the bed all night. The next morning, when the woman went out for a walk, he fled in a hurry. Since then, he has 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 think too much!" The crazy woman said with a strange look on her face, "In the past ten years, he has not kidnapped a woman again, but he has not stopped committing crimes... Especially men like you, who are his first choice."

Wu Xian's smile froze for a moment: "He should be dead."

"He's dead. I cut his throat when he wasn't paying attention, but he escaped with his body upside down." The crazy woman still felt a little sorry.

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, strange laughter, or any strange behavior such as frog jumping, picking the nose, or spitting.

"Are you feeling better?"

The crazy woman's expression froze, then turned gloomy, and she just nodded woodenly.

For her, being crazy was more comfortable in this hopeless underground maze.

The crazy woman didn't say much after that.

He just agreed in a perfunctory manner, sitting on the ground with his head down and a gloomy expression, obviously thinking of something sad.

Been busy for so long.

Wu Xian felt a little tired.

He looked at the time and found that twenty-four hours had passed since the last story he told. It was time to tell another story to create eight hours of safety 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 would summon a converted evil spirit.

The people who told the stories before were all natives of this world, and the evil spirits in the stories were also living evil spirits 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. In the stories he has personally experienced, most of the evil spirits have been killed, and the remaining evil spirits are absolute enemies.

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

Since there is no good news either way, he might as well let the natives continue to tell stories and summon friendly evil spirits. Even if they cannot help him fight, they can at least distract the maze master's attention.

"Gong Xiujuan, you will be the one telling the story tonight."

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

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

Unlike Huang Debiao and his wife, Gong Xiujuan wanted to talk to someone and let others know what she had been through, but she never had the chance. "I'm 23 years old and I just graduated from college a few months ago."

"My alma mater is a low-end second-tier university. Most of the companies that came to recruit at our school just wanted to work as slaves. At that time, I had a high opinion of myself and felt that this kind of job was not worthy of me."

"So, I was unemployed right after graduation. I didn't ask my parents for help because I was afraid of being embarrassed. I could only wander around the big city alone..."

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

"Just when I was running out of money and wanted to work in a bar, I suddenly saw a job ad."

"Guiwufu Supermarket is recruiting night shift cashiers. Work eight hours a day and get a monthly salary of 12,000 yuan. The only condition is to keep your mouth shut and not reveal the secrets of the supermarket."

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

Gong Xiujuan smiled bitterly: "This kind of salary is rare in large companies. Of course I knew it was probably a scam, but I had no other choice at the time, so I had to give it a try."

"But when I got to the supermarket, I found out that it closed at 10pm every day and opened at 8am. There was no such position as a night shift cashier."

"That one job advert was fake, but it was a prank, not a more dangerous scam."

"Luckily, this supermarket was also recruiting employees, so I was able to stay and work there. Although the salary is not high, at least I can 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 to tell anyone about the supermarket's secrets."

"What secrets can a supermarket have?"

"I've been working here for a few days, and the bad things I've seen are nothing more than using rotten fruit to make fruit slices, bundling products that are about to expire, and deceiving customers into saving points when there is actually no plan to issue points benefits..."

"I plan to study hard once my work gets on track, and strive to get a job as soon as possible and find a decent job."

"But as my working hours got longer, I found myself often feeling inexplicably tired. I would occasionally feel absent-minded at work, and as soon as I got home I was so tired that I wanted to sleep, let alone find time to study!"

"At first I felt guilty. I was a fragile college student and I couldn't even do such a simple job."

“But gradually I realized something was wrong.”

"Even if I doze off at work, my colleagues and bosses won't blame me, and my salary is still paid in full. My luck has also improved, and I often get some extra income, such as picking up red envelopes on the way home from get off work, winning big prizes on scratch tickets, and getting coupons from employee activities held by the supermarket, etc..."

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

“It’s exactly the same as the night shift cashier’s salary!”

"This made me feel horrified. I hurried home to check the work contract I had signed with the supermarket, but I found that it clearly stated that I was a 'night shift cashier' with a salary of 12,000 yuan a month!"

"All of this made me feel weird, so I resigned from the supermarket. On the day I left, all the employees of the supermarket came to see me off, especially the butcher. He shook my hand and said that it was a pleasure to work with me and that we should 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 in front of the supermarket door, waved at her in unison and smiled at her.
