After I traveled through the book, I became an NPC in a horror novel

Chapter 143: The Thousand Corpse Mall

During the three-day holiday, Yang Guang felt that he was a little dull. Although he still ate, drank, slept and stayed up late as usual, Yang Guang clearly felt that he had no energy.

Putting his cell phone aside, when the alarm rang, Yang Guang realized that he was in a daze again.

"Well...it's time..."

It's time to go to work.

As usual, in the blink of an eye, Yang Guang arrived at a pure white personal space. Yang Guang collapsed on the ground and complained to 11.

"11, can't you guys decorate your personal space like in other novels? Or open up permissions, I'll add a sofa here, and when you come to my personal space next time, you can just transfer me to the sofa or something like that..."

11: "Host, you can lie on me~~~"

After saying that, 11 jumped to Yang Guang's head, then squatted down and arched under Yang Guang's neck. Yang Guang cooperated by raising his head, and then rested his head on the furry lamb's back.

"Mea~~~"

11 bleated in Yang Guang's ear, as if asking Yang Guang whether he felt comfortable lying on the pillow.

It's really comfortable.

Yang Guang rested his head on the furry, warm lamb's body and squinted for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "I'm ready, 11"

11: "Okay host, I will start transmitting the copy information of "Wanhu Shopping Mall" now."

[Story background: Wanhu Shopping Mall is a medium-sized shopping mall with different shops on each floor. There are clothing stores, restaurants, cinemas, game halls, KTVs, cake shops... everything. But since some day, there have been more and more supernatural events in the mall, and fewer and fewer customers are willing to come here. Many shops have closed down because of this, but many people have stayed because of the mall's location in the center and the cheap rent.

As time went by, supernatural events continued to occur frequently in the mall. Some people said it was because the mall had bad feng shui, while others said it was because the owner of the mall had offended someone.

Until one day, the neon sign of the mall flickered and the dot above the second word went out...

Employee: Yang Guang

Role: Yang Guang

Character setting: You are the owner of a convenience store on the third floor of a shopping mall. After buying this store, you have no money left, but fortunately this store has a considerable monthly income. Therefore, even though the mall has frequent supernatural events, you still do not close the store and leave.

Mission: You are a responsible boss. You have hired two clerks for your convenience store. You need to check the clerks' work status every day.

Employees are requested to play their roles seriously and are prohibited from doing anything that violates the role settings. The game promises to ensure the safety of employees and maintain the stability of the game.]

Yang Guang couldn't help laughing out loud. The system did not limit his working hours, so did this mean that he could work for three days and rest for two days, and eat a few snacks from time to time?

Is it my turn to have such a good day?!

11: "Host, please go to the convenience store you run and check whether the two clerks you hired have arrived at their work stations."

These two clerks were newly hired because the two original clerks were frightened by the supernatural events in the mall. In addition, the convenience store closed late, so the two old clerks both resigned.

Fortunately, they soon found new clerks, two girls, who seemed to be sisters. According to the information, Yang Guang hired them because of their attentiveness. The settings showed that although they had been working in the convenience store for a few days, he had not yet met the two new clerks.

Because both of them are girls, they have to do some physical work together, and at present, it is difficult to recruit sales clerks in this shopping mall, so the salary offered to them is relatively high.

But Yang Guang doesn't care about this.

He just prayed that he would be able to be lazy again this time.

A very simple wish.

Yang Guang followed the instructions and observed the mall. It was indeed very desolate. Only a few scattered shops were open and lit, and the rest of the storefronts were covered with metal doors.

I don’t know if it’s because there are so few shops open, but the lights in the public areas of the mall are rarely on. In addition, some of the inner areas don’t have any shops open, and the dim lights can’t illuminate the dark passages that lead to unknown directions. It does look chilling.

Yang Guang walked to the elevator with a puzzled but polite smile. He looked at the dirty door of the elevator in front of him, which looked a bit old, and asked doubtfully, "11, are you sure I won't die in this elevator after I step into it?"

Yang Guang was not afraid of any supernatural creatures in the elevator. He was simply afraid that after he stepped in, the elevator would break down due to disrepair.

News of elevator tragedies flooded into Yang Guang’s mind. With 11’s assurance, he pressed the up button of the elevator, and then he heard a series of "clacking" sounds.

The elevator door slowly opened. Yang Guang looked at the raised wooden walls and the flickering lights in the elevator and fell silent.

"Uh... Host, why don't you take the stairs..."

After seeing this scene, 11 couldn't help but persuade Yang Guang not to take the elevator.

Yang Guang kept smiling and continued to wander around looking for other ways to go upstairs, then he found the slowly running escalator.

Yang Guang stepped on it. If the escalator was completely stationary, Yang Guang might have climbed the stairs, because a stopped escalator is very unsafe. Even if it appears to be stationary, the internal machinery may still be running. If Yang Guang walked on the escalator, such as the brake failure, causing the step pedal to collapse, he would be sucked into the internal space.

The escalator climbed very slowly, not as fast as Yang Guang climbing the stairs, but Yang Guang was not in a hurry, so he held the escalator, motionless, and used the escalator as it climbed at a snail's pace to observe the scattered shops with their lights on.

They all looked ordinary. The lady boss of the nail salon was sitting on the sofa at the door, playing with her phone. The game room was flashing neon lights, the game interface on the screen was flashing, but there was no one inside...

It's quite normal, but a little bit abnormal.

Yang Guang seriously suspected that there was no one in the mall because the mall was too stingy and was unwilling to renovate and repair the elevator...

Muttering to himself, Yang Guang strolled to the third floor. When he arrived there, he saw a particularly bright convenience store.

Half of it is a floor-to-ceiling window and the other half is a door. There is a long bar table at the window. The lighting is sufficient, so the goods inside can be clearly seen from the outside.

In this run-down shopping mall area, this convenience store is like a safe house, and it seems to give people a full sense of security.

"here?"

11: “Yes, that’s right, this is your convenience store!”

I go……

Yang Guang sighed as he walked into the store. Two shop assistants who looked exactly the same stood at the door and bowed to Yang Guang.

"Hello, store manager."
