My Healing Games

Chapter 124 If I said I was here for a job interview, would you believe me?

Everyone on the street knew what the song represented, and no one dared to approach the shops damaged by the song. This, in turn, meant that Han Fei didn't have to worry about being attacked for the time being.

Huddled under the counter, Han Fei glanced at the Happiness Community again. The rusty iron gate was tightly closed, and the community was deathly silent, as if there was no one there.

A large piece of the black cloth on the shrine next to the residential area was torn off, and the bowl that Han Fei had taken away earlier had been put back in its original place at some point.

"It seems that the shrine is protecting the community. Youfu said before that Xiaoba can't leave Xingfu Community casually. Could it be because the community is protected by the shrine, and those things outside can't detect the inside of the community?"

The dilapidated shrine looked very ordinary and didn't exude any eerie aura, but it gave people a sense of peace.

“I killed the person cursed by that unknown monster. It is very likely that it will reappear. I cannot stay here for too long. I need to get back to the neighborhood as soon as possible.”

Han Fei is currently unable to exit the game and must be extremely careful. If he is captured by a scapegoat or some other monster, his soul and consciousness may be imprisoned, and he will never be able to leave the game.

When his health points recovered to ten, Han Fei got up from the ground, intending to find a way back to the neighborhood. But as soon as he looked up, he saw a face staring at him from the shop window.

"It's an old man who burns photos!"

A wrinkled face peered through the shop window, the malice in his eyes impossible to conceal: "Don't hide here anymore. This place is dangerous. The people you killed are tainted with its curse, and it will come soon."

The old man always spoke as if he was looking out for Han Fei, but Han Fei knew that the old man was definitely not that kind of person. He ignored the old man and secretly thought about how to get away.

"Why don't you come to my house to hide for a while? My house is nearby, just a short walk away." The old man warmly invited Han Fei, his face full of wrinkles trembling as he spoke, reaching his hand into the shop window: "It's coming soon, come with me, I'll find you a safe place."

The old man had his eye on Han Fei and was unwilling to let him go easily.

Han Fei knew that the old man would be hard to shake off, so he reached into his pocket and touched the knife that Xu Qin had given him.

"My level is still too low. If I can completely resist the curse on the knife, then I'm confident I can fight back."

With his eyes fixed on the old man's outstretched hand, just as the withered hand was about to touch him, Han Fei suddenly kicked open the shop door and ran outside.

He intended to run to the other side of the road, but as soon as he stepped out, he saw two children holding hands and sitting on the curb. When they heard footsteps, they both turned to look at Han Fei.

The child's face no longer showed the innocence it should have had; only a strange smile remained.

"Snapped!"

In just a moment of hesitation, a flowerpot filled with dead insects and soil crashed down in front of Han Fei. If he hadn't stopped, the flowerpot would have hit him right on the head.

Looking up, Han Fei noticed a fat woman on the third floor of the building next door, holding a flowerpot and looking at him with a sinister smile.

He released his grip, and another flowerpot slammed into Han Fei.

As Han Fei dodged forward, the old man and the child all followed. He could only continue charging forward, but the distance between him and the child kept getting closer and closer.

With no human-shaped bloodstains to obstruct them, the two children revealed their hideous and terrifying side. Their bodies began to bleed, slowly transforming into the appearance they had when they died.

"Brother, brother..."

Bloody footprints appeared one by one. Han Fei was about to be caught by them, so he made a tough decision and hid in the convenience store next door, slamming the door shut.

The situation is critical, and there is no time to hesitate.

When the children and the elderly saw Han Fei enter the convenience store, their expressions were somewhat strange. They seemed to feel a little regretful, as if everything about Han Fei would belong to something else after he entered the store, and they had lost the desire to take it.

Han Fei, who was very knowledgeable about micro-expressions, felt a little uneasy, but he wasn't too afraid.

The system had issued tasks related to convenience stores, so he would come here no matter what, the only difference being the timing.

With his back to the door, Han Fei turned around and looked around.

This is just an ordinary convenience store, with various snacks, daily necessities, and drinks on the shelves. There are also some second-hand home appliances at the back of the store.

Although it's called a convenience store, it's not quite the convenience store Han Fei remembers; this place is more like a department store.

After concealing the knife in his pocket, Han Fei stood at the door, cautiously observing the interior of the convenience store as he tried to stall for as much time as possible.

The clock on the wall ticked away, and from a corner of the room, one could faintly hear a person whispering, repeating the same words over and over, as if possessed.

Han Fei did not approach the other party rashly; he remained at the door without saying a word.

After the elderly and children left, he grabbed the doorknob, trying to open the door and escape back to the community. But then he realized that the door, which he could open easily before, was now impossible to open.

"What...do you want to buy?"

A voice trembling with sobs suddenly rang out behind Han Fei, startling him so much that he turned around abruptly.

He saw a young man in a convenience store uniform standing behind him. The young man was skin and bones, with shriveled lips and was blind in one eye.

"What do you want to buy?"

"What do you sell here?" Since the convenience store door couldn't be opened and Han Fei couldn't leave, he had no choice but to talk to the clerk to see if he could get any useful information out of them.

"What do you want to buy?" The shop assistant's only remaining eye slowly bulged out of its socket, and he seemed to only know how to repeat this one sentence.

Han Fei looked at the shelves. The convenience store had a lot of items, but no prices were listed.

In other words, the buyer has no idea what price they will have to pay for buying something.

"It seems the things here aren't so easy to take away." Han Fei looked up, and the shop assistant's terrifying face was almost right in front of him.

"What do you want to buy?" The shop assistant's face was inches away from Han Fei's, his thin body making strange noises, and he was almost pressed against Han Fei's body.

"I'm not here to buy anything." Han Fei sensed the chilling aura emanating from the shop assistant and took a step back. "If I said I was here for a job interview, would you believe me?"

Han Fei opened the quest panel and accepted another main quest.

"Attention Player 0000! You have successfully accepted the G-rank main quest 'Convenience Store Clerk'!"

"Mission requirements: There is a secret hidden in this convenience store. You need to become a temporary night shift employee at Yimin Convenience Store and survive for one night."

Thank you to the leader of the alliance, Z Deye!
