Supermarkets

　　Although I'm young and strong, I'm not an immortal, and I don't really have the ability or the skill to serve two women in one night.

　　I hastily declined Chloe's request by saying something came up, then comforted her with a few words about resting and went home.

　　When I got back to the tattoo parlor in the wee hours of the morning, I was kind of exhausted, and as soon as I laid down on the bed, I was unconscious, and I don't know how many times that Nuwa's Forsaken Shade had tortured me.

　　When I woke up, it was twelve noon, and the first thing I did when I woke up was to ask if Antonio was back yet.

　　Stein shook his head and said that there was still no news, the kid was not answering his phone last night, and now he is even turning off his phone directly, I do not know what happened.

　　Even though Antonio was a good fighter, I was starting to get a little worried. What if something happened?

　　Stein said it's not too late, why don't we go find a nunnery now, he checked and there are only three nunneries in Vervecity, one on the east side of the hill, another on the west side, and one on the north side.

　　All three are in different locations and directions, we can't be sure which one Antonio went to, but now that Antonio didn't come back, I guess he went to that nunnery in Dreaming Nun 80% of the time, if it's a normal nunnery he wouldn't be lost until now, I believe he should have encountered something.

　　It would probably be even more of a waste of time to search blindly, and I'd have to split the search with Stein to be more efficient, so I might as well go to Markus first, who's been in contact with Dreaming Nun and could potentially know some information.

　　Stein ahs and says no, that Markus is a ghost, are we going to get a ghost?

　　I said scared shitless, that Markus is not some kind of severe ghost, and I still have some questions that I haven't figured out, I have to find him to understand, besides, it's broad daylight now, are the two of us still afraid of a ghost?

　　Stein was dumbfounded by what I said, and although a little scared, he followed me.

　　I was a little confused as to how Stein, who had been hanging out with my grandfather for a while, was still so afraid of ghosts.

　　Stein said I don't know, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope ah, he was almost killed by a severe ghost before, close to death, not my grandfather, he is probably already a spring man.

　　How come I've never heard Stein talk about this before? Curiosity got the better of me and I quickly asked him to tell me what was going on.

　　Stein shook his head and said that it was fine not to mention it, but his face was extremely unattractive at the moment, and he probably felt uncomfortable just thinking about that incident.

　　Since it's a knot in his heart, then I can't force him to say it, I can only wait until he's willing to open his mouth, but listening to his tone, it should have been very dangerous at that time, almost losing his life that kind of thing.

　　Markus had told us about the supermarket he was working at, and I took a cab with Stein and got there in about forty minutes.

　　As soon as we arrived at the supermarket we looked around for a staff member to ask, and finally one of the managers of the supermarket stepped in and asked us what we were looking for Markus for.

　　I said we were Markus's old friends, from out of town, before he only gave us the address of the supermarket, did not give us the address, we are looking for him a little urgent, please let Markus come out.

　　That's when the manager sighed, then shook his head and said Markus was long dead.

 Neither Stein nor I were surprised, it was expected, but we pretended we didn't know and hastily asked the manager what was going on.

　　The manager said that it was raining heavily that day, Markus and his coworker Brzenska carpooled home, but there was a car accident halfway and Markus and Brzenska both died.

　　The crash happened quickly, and in an instant two people plus the driver were wrecked.

　　At this time a few employees next to him were suddenly talking about how Markus might have died a horrible death, and how others occasionally saw him in the supermarket, and how once he hid in the middle of the shelves, and how three employees all saw him at the same time, almost scaring those three people, but then, in a flash, that Markus had disappeared.

　　They all say that Markus' ghost has returned and is roaming the supermarket.

　　"Go, go, what era is this, still engage in the feudal superstition thing, where did the ghost come from, let him come out and show me." The manager cursed at the few employees.

　　If this kind of thing gets out, it will affect the reputation of the supermarket, and who will come to buy things when they know that there are ghosts in the supermarket, and of course the manager is angry at such remarks.

　　After being yelled at like that by the manager, everyone dared not speak again, it was one older aunt who muttered, "Don't talk nonsense manager, you'd know the horror if you worked the late shift."

　　"Oops, you're still getting excited, aren't you?" The manager scolded toward the aunt, "Do you still want to work?"

　　Once again, the manager went on a rampage, and all the employees got scared and ended up dispersing in a huff.

　　I told him not to get angry, in fact, this aunt's words are quite right, there are some things that are better to be believed than not, not having it is one thing, but it has to be honored.

　　The manager glared at me, then without saying anything was going to kick us out, before I left I asked Markus for his address, of course, the process wasn't very smooth, and had to rely on money to do the job, and slipped in a hundred bucks in exchange for the address.

　　Strangely enough, we had just taken a few steps when I suddenly saw a man appear behind the manager, who seemed to be invisible to him.

　　The manager was taking the elevator, but the man approached the manager and pushed him down with one hand.

　　The manager let out a scream, the whole person rolled down, the man had a black face, and after a laugh, he turned his eyes and disappeared, at this time, the light in the supermarket was relatively dark, and there was naturally no sunlight coming in indoors.

　　I want to go to see exactly what is going on, but Stein pulled me and left, he said this place is not suitable to stay for a long time, this supermarket is actually Feng Shui location are not very good, a little bit of evil, let's hurry up and go.

　　After coming out, Stein pointed to the location of the supermarket and said, "Look, not far away from the east of the supermarket, is a hospital, the south is a slaughterhouse, the west is a catering store, but what are the dog meat, beef, rabbit meat store, this is a three deaths, will be surrounded by the supermarket in the middle, and look at the location of the supermarket, not much sunlight can shine, belongs to the extreme yin, this supermarket is not sinister strange! , it's normal to have ghosts inside, let's not get involved."

　　As soon as Stein said it I realized that there was something wrong with the supermarket too, no wonder Markus, Brzenska, the little girl ghost all showed up and there were other ghosts.

　　That manager just now had a foul mouth, I guess he messed with the ghosts in the supermarket, but he shouldn't have fallen too badly, at most it's a lesson.

　　I remembered this supermarket and will never come back, it's so evil.

 Stein and I took another cab and continued on to Markus' house.

　　Markus was renting a house, his hometown wasn't here, so if he died, did he rent his house to someone else? And where does his ghost stay?

　　With questions in mind, Stein and I knocked on Markus' door, but bizarrely, it was he who came out to answer it.

 Stein and I looked at each other, not knowing what to say, while Stein had some fear on his face, after all Markus was now a ghost.

　　"What brings you here?" Markus asked curiously, as if he was completely oblivious to the fact that he was dead.

　　Upon opening the door, the light was a little bright and Markus raised his hand a little diaphragmatically to shield himself from it, he seemed extremely uncomfortable with this and complained about how the sun was so high today?

　　The sun wasn't actually very big today, and it shone just a little bit of light on Markus' front door.

　　"Get in here!" Markus, who was getting uncomfortable staying outside the door, pulled both Stein and I in as soon as he could.

　　His hands were cold, like a corpse's, and Stein winced, shivering all over, as he whispered to me, How about we go?

　　Walking my ass. Look at your cowardice. This Markus is a ghost, but he doesn't even want to harm us, he doesn't even know he's a ghost.

　　There was nothing for Stein to do but to stay with me.

　　When he went in, Markus's house was as dark as night, with thick black curtains covering the windows, so no light could come in, and he didn't even turn on the lights.

　　Markus explained that he worked the night shift, so he slept during the day, and made the room dark enough to fall asleep easily, and when he finished he snapped and turned on the lamp, not that he was uncomfortable with the light.

　　Markus asked me if I'd thought of tattooing him some Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts when I approached him today.

　　I laughed bitterly in my heart and said that you are dead, why do you still have a tattoo Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts, you are a ghost yourself, and you still want to have a tattoo Exorcise Ghosts?

　　Of course I didn't dare say it so bluntly, but first asked him about the bald woman, or Dreaming Nun as Webster called her.
