Chapter 236: Strange Arrival 3
“I suddenly remembered I forgot to buy something just now.”
Chu Yian glanced at Zhu Shen, then turned around.
Zhu Shen didn’t know what Chu Yian was going to do, but he immediately followed her and re-entered the supermarket with her.
As soon as Chu Yian entered the supermarket, she picked up her phone and left a message on the app:
There are still some things; the items are at the supermarket entrance.
When the driver arrives, please help me load them onto the car and take them to my address. The loading and unloading fees will be calculated separately.
Unable to determine if the other party was human or a ghoul, her method was to avoid meeting him. With just a phone, a ghoul couldn’t tell if it had been discovered.
After doing all this, she put her phone away and entered the supermarket again.
Inside the supermarket, the attendant who had been lingering in the living goods section was a ghoul.
Chu Yian pushed her shopping cart further into the store, her peripheral vision sweeping over the attendant, who was still in the living goods section, picking up and putting down toothpaste. She looked busy, but in reality, she was repeating the same useless actions.
To avoid being discovered, she quickly retracted her gaze.
However, just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly walked towards the ghoul.
A woman in her fifties, carrying a small bag, walked up to the ghoul and, completely unguarded, asked, “Excuse me, where are the diapers?”
Hearing this voice, Chu Yian paused and couldn’t help but look in the direction the woman was speaking.
The ghoul, who had been facing away from the woman, finally stopped its meaningless work, then its head rotated 180 degrees to the back. She stared intently at the woman, a bizarre, indescribable smile on her face, “You can see me…”
You can see me,
You can see me!
This voice, though not loud, echoed in her mind like a curse.
Just as she was in a daze, the woman and the ghoul in the distance both vanished into thin air. Beside the shelf, the woman’s shoulder bag was still on the ground, with car keys, lipstick, and various medicines scattered everywhere.
However, apart from her and Zhu Shen, no one noticed the change in the supermarket corner.
The only feeling the people around probably experienced was that the temperature suddenly dropped by two degrees.
Just as Chu Yian was shocked by the current situation, her phone suddenly rang.
It was the small truck driver’s phone number.
Chu Yian hesitated, looking at the incoming call from this number, then answered the phone. Before she could speak, a young man’s voice came from the other end.
“Hello, may I speak to Mr. Huang Fei Hu? The driver responsible for your delivery was my colleague; he died in a car accident at the intersection. I will now be delivering your items.”
Chu Yian’s hand tightened around her phone upon hearing this. “Wh-when did that happen?”
“An hour ago.”
An hour ago, which meant the bus waiting outside was actually a ghoul.
“I’m sorry for your loss.”
Chu Yian said softly.
The goods left outside the supermarket were still all taken away by the small truck that arrived later. When they came out, the truck and the items they had left at the entrance were all gone.
To be safe, both of them each scanned a shared bicycle on the roadside.
The sun was already setting in the sky as they rode their bikes towards the rental house. Passing the intersection where the accident occurred, the wrecked small truck was still parked on the side of the road, waiting for a larger vehicle to tow it away.
“So pitiful, he swerved to avoid a car and ended up hitting a pole.”
“How could he not wear a seatbelt? He flew right out and was broken in half.”
“Oh, the scene was horrific at the time!”
… People who had witnessed it were still describing the tragic scene on the roadside.
Chu Yian looked in the direction of the large truck upon hearing this. There was still an untreated pool of blood on the ground, and among the roadside greenery, there was a fallen, blood-stained cloth shoe.
The moment she looked over, a gust of eerie wind swept through the area…
