The person behind the door

What's going on? Isn't there no one in the supermarket?" Marther's voice was low and tense all over.

"It's true that there was no just now. Who knows where he came from..." Lu Ze cursed in a low voice.

At this time, the three of them each held a kitchen knife in their hands and took the lead with Lu Ze. Lin Sanjiu and Mather guarded both sides and slowly approached the direction that had just made the impact.

The kitchen knife was found from the delicatessen area just now. It is probably usually used to cut the marinade, and I don't think it will be too sharp - even if it is rubbed, there is still a faint smell of rotten marinade. But no matter what, with the knife, the three of them are much more confident.

"Thud", there was another muffled sound, shaking the air.

At this moment, the three of them immediately identified the exact direction and walked quickly to the front right at the same time - "Here!" Mother pointed with her hand.

Under the dim candlelight not far away, there was a sign of "for employees only" on a door, standing quietly.

The three of them looked at each other. Lin Sanjiu nodded and said. - No matter who is inside, the voice of a young woman will always make the other party relax: "Who is inside? Come out right away!"

The air was silent for a few seconds.

After waiting for a while, just as Lin Sanjiu was about to ask again impatiently, a loud sob suddenly sounded from behind the door. Immediately, a clear voice asked timidly, "...Who are you?"

The three of them looked at each other with some surprise, were slightly relieved, and put down the kitchen knife in their hands. Not only because the owner of the voice is obviously a girl, but also because the voice is full of a strong child's voice - it sounds like the person behind the door will never be more than fourteen years old.

"...Little sister? How old are you? We are not bad people..." Lin Sanjiu asked cautiously, "Are you the only one behind the door?"

The little girl said "um" in a crying voice, "I'm eleven years old."

At this moment, the kitchen knives in the hands of the three people were put down. Mather even covered her knife with a towel on the shelf next to her, afraid of scaring the little girl, and asked softly, "Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"

The little girl's cry suddenly increased a lot: "I, my... Dad is working here. He brought me here last night... Then many people rushed in and robbed me. My father locked me here and told me not to go out..."

Several people's faces flashed with unbearable expressions. Needless to say, the little girl's father must have turned into a corpse - maybe it was one of the corpses they moved out.

"Little sister, what's your name? Why don't you open the door first?" Martha knocked on the door gently.

"My name is Wang Sisi. Dad said, it's not that he is not allowed to open the door when he comes back..." The little girl sobbed again, "But he hasn't come back until now..."

Several people couldn't help but be moved. Such a small child doesn't know how to survive the night... Lu Ze whispered to Lin Sanjiu: "Say something and comfort her."

Lin Sanjiu suddenly looked very embarrassed. Seeing that Martha was also talking to the door, he gave her an encouraging look.God, she had to cough and said stubbornly, "Wang Sisi, be strong!"

As soon as the words were said, the other two immediately looked at her like a monster.

Lin Sanjiu looked at the other two helplessly and said that he was powerless - even if she was a girl, she was raised as a boy since she was a child, and it was the most helpless to deal with children. What's more, the child is frightened. It's when she is vulnerable - it's good to let her comfort her without causing psychological shadow.

Wang Sisi was smashed by her harsh words and immediately muttered silently.

Marther gave Lin Sanjiu a blank look and said to the two in a low voice, "This child has probably evolved the ability to adapt to high temperatures... It's not a matter to be locked in it." She immediately raised her voice and said, "Sisi, your father didn't let you out because it was not safe outside at that time. Now it's safe outside. Come out and let's wait for Dad together, okay?"

Wang Sisi, who was behind the door, seemed to hesitate. She hummed twice and made up her mind.

At this time, Marther, who was overflowing with maternal love, heard her humming, and her heart was almost melted. She hurried to the door and continued to say softly, "... You have been here since last night. You must be hungry, right? Auntie, there is a lot of food here. What do you like to eat?"

"Well, I'm so hungry... I love to eat fish cooked by my mother..." Wang Sisi said timidly. And chocolate bars..."

There was a suspicious water light in Martha's eyes. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said repeatedly, "Okay, let's open the door and auntie will take you to eat, okay?"

Seeing that she handled the situation well by herself, the two idle people behind them bit their ears.

Lu Ze whispered, "Mather has been saying that she had been married once before, but the two finally divorced because they didn't want to have children..."

No wonder! Lin Sanjiu was a little dizzy when he heard it: It seems that the differentiated personality does have its own complete experience...

Just as the two were chatting, Wang Sisi finally agreed to come out under the persuasion of Mather.

"Auntie, I'm going out now..." Wang Sisi responded timidly. Then only the lock behind the door rang, and the doorknob turned.

But the door didn't move at all.

"Huh?" Mather looked down carefully with some surprise and asked through the crack of the door, "Sisi, did your father lock the door from the outside before leaving?"

The little girl's voice immediately panicked: "OkaY, it seems so, I don't remember!"

Now, several people frowned. Because this supermarket is mainly aimed at high-end customers, the materials in every inch are very particular, and even the door of the staff room is very heavy. Looking at the keyhole, Mather reluctantly shouted, "Sisi, get out of the way. Auntie is going to kick the door." Before the other two could stop it, she had already kicked it heavily--

After listening to Martha take a breath of cold air, he immediately sat on the ground with his feet in his arms - the door did not shake.

"What should I do?" She looked at the two people helplessly for the first time.

Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth, but closed it again. She may be able to put away this door - if the iron door was not counted before. But that means that she only has one chance to transform today, and now, justIt was just 7:30 a.m.... Besides, whether she still had a chance today was uncertain... Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment and said nothing after all.

After all, there are other ways to open the door, and this opportunity - if there is still - it may be best for everyone to stay.

"When we moved the dead before, we saw several employees of this supermarket who were still wearing uniforms." Lu Ze thought for a while and opened his mouth first - which made Lin Sanjiu secretly relieved, and his guilt in his heart was reduced a lot - Lu Ze glanced in the direction of the door and hinted at the two: "Maybe the person with the key is lying there..."

Yes - Wang Sisi's father locked the door, so he must have the key. His daughter is in the supermarket, and she will not run far away. She must have died in the supermarket, and was carried upstairs by several people--

Thinking of this, the three of them suddenly came back to their spirits and discussed a few words.

Because it was already dawn outside, and the temperature must be even more terrible, Lin Sanjiu, the only one of the three people who was not in good health, was left to guard the door of the staff room. Mars looked very uneasy. Before leaving, he said, "Don't say what you shouldn't say. Don't scare the child!"

Lin Sanjiu nodded with an embarrassed face.

As soon as the two left, the supermarket immediately fell into silence again. Wang Sisi seemed to know that only the hard "strong sister" was left on the other side of the door, so there was nothing to say except for an occasional sob.

Lin Sanjiu sat on the ground boredly, tossing and turning over again and playing with the kitchen knife in his hand.

Speaking of which, now that Luze and Mather are gone, if you want to test today's last chance, now is the best time. But she couldn't make up her mind: except for a smelly kitchen knife in her hand, she really had nothing to put away - if she wasted the last chance, she would really want to cry.

I don't know how long she hesitated. She only heard the sound of footsteps from the elevator at the door soon - Lin Sanjiu stood up and looked at it. It was Lu Ze and Maser.

"So fast?" She asked doubtfully.

Lu Ze showed two rabbit teeth at her and said with a smile, "We are lucky. The first woman we turn to is the manager of this supermarket. I found a bunch of keys from her pocket..." He said, holding up a string in his hand and showing it to Lin Sanjiu. Thanks to the manager's note on the key, it's convenient for us.

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned to the door: "Wang... Where is her father? Aren't you..." She lowered her voice: "It was found in her father's body?"

"Well, it's okay to have the key. I haven't found it... It's not a bad thing." Lu Ze gave the key to Master carelessly.

"Sisi, auntie is back. I'll open the door for you--" Mather said while squatting down.

At the moment when the key in her hand was inserted into the keyhole, Lin Sanjiu's heart suddenly jumped - before she realized what she was doing, a white light had flashed in her hand, and the kitchen knife just now turned into a card, which was firmly held in her hand.

Lin Sanjiu looked at the card in his hand with some surprise. He didn't have time to regret his impulse. He only heard the sound of metal colliding with the key unlocking at the door of the staff room. Then, Mather gently pushed the door open: "Sisi, auntie opened the door..."

At the moment when Mars stepped, Lin Sanjiu suddenly rushed up and pushed her to the ground.
