"You're all doing your work quite smoothly, that's great!"

The convenience store door was pushed open with a ding-dong sound.

The cow that came in from outside was very thin, with a protruding belly, and it wobbled in.

He looked at the bustling supermarket and nodded in satisfaction.

Huang Zhonghou, who was busy working in the fresh produce section, ran over to the boss as soon as he saw him arrive.

"Boss, you're here."

"We've been working for four hours now, look at these results, aren't they amazing! It's all thanks to the boss's excellent training!"

Huang Zhonghou, with his blond hair, hurriedly retrieved the sales figures for Niu Haoshou.

Niu Haoshou glanced at it and beamed.

But as the accounts were scrolled down, Niu Haoshou's expression changed instantly.

Daily Necessities Section (Sales): 0

"What's going on? The night shift is usually our busiest time, how come we haven't made a single penny!"

Huang Zhonghou stared stiffly at Niu Haoshou, and seeing Niu Haoshou's wide-open eyes, he couldn't help but swallow.

"Boss, this shouldn't be happening... The daily necessities section is run by Xia Xiaoqin and Qin Bufei. Although these two troublemakers are respectful to you this morning, they shouldn't be doing nothing like this during work hours."

Huang Zhonghou glanced at the two people in the daily necessities section and said in a low voice.

Although he knew that daily necessities wouldn't attract evil spirits, he figured the two of them weren't popular with the boss anyway, so he might as well leave all the responsibility to them.

As soon as Huang Zhonghou finished speaking, Niu Haoshou's eyes immediately became bloodshot.

He charged aggressively at Xia Xiaoqin and Qin Bufei, brandishing the gong in his hand.

"You two, yes, you two, come here!"

Xia Xiaoqin glanced at Niu Haoshou, then silently moved forward without expression.

Qin Bufei smiled, looking nonchalant.

"What's wrong with you two! Why haven't you earned a single penny yet?"

"There are no customers," Xia Xiaoqin replied truthfully.

"Then why does everyone else have customers, but you don't?" Niu Haoshou was clearly dissatisfied with this answer, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Boss, this isn't our fault. If we worked in the fresh produce section, we would definitely have a lot of customers too."

Qin Bufei shrugged and pointed to the fresh produce section.

Niu Haoshou looked extremely angry, as if he was about to explode with rage.

He glared fiercely at Qin Bufei, his eyes darting around in their sockets.

"Just you wait, you two good-for-nothings! If your performance is still so bad the next day, I'll personally take you to the third floor and tell the manager to slowly crush you into mincemeat."

Niu Haoshou was completely enraged. Ignoring the other customers in the supermarket, he roared and berated the two of them.

"I'm telling you, no matter what methods you use to attract customers, this can't go on!"

After saying that, Niu Haoshou wiped the sweat from his face, panting, and slowly walked towards the front door, preparing to leave the supermarket.

But just then, a woman pushed the door open and entered.

The woman, with her hair disheveled and her face obscured, wore a long red dress. Her extremely pale fingers looked as if they had been soaked in water, appearing unnaturally swollen.

"..."

The woman pointed her finger at Niu Haoshou and murmured a few times, her indistinct voice making it impossible to understand what she was saying.

Swish, swish!

The supermarket lights flickered, and all the other customers, including Niu Haoshou, wore expressions of fear.

"It's the female ghost in red! What's she doing here!"

Standing in the tobacco and alcohol section, Liu Datou's eyes revealed fear.

"Liu Datou, what's going on?"

Xia Xiaoqin realized something was wrong and went to Liu Datou's side to ask him what was wrong. To her surprise, she found that Liu Datou was trembling with fear.

What's going on? Liu Datou and Niu Haoshou aren't ordinary people; they're evil spirits too.

Why do you look so scared?

"We're doomed... If we can't satisfy the red-clad ghost's demands tonight, we're dead!"

In despair, Liu Datou hugged his own head, squatted down, and kept murmuring, praying that the red-clothed female ghost would not see him.

"Don't go over there, something's wrong."

Qin Bufei also frowned, which was rare for him, and grabbed Xia Xiaoqin.

"The aura emanating from that female ghost is unmatched by any other evil spirit."

The female ghost in red

[Rank: Top-Tier Demon]

[Character Introduction: A woman in a red dress wandering the streets; pray you never encounter her.]

Xia Xiaoqin frowned as she looked at the system notification bar.

This is her second time participating in the game.

I've never actually seen an NPC with marked attributes.

"Disorderly..."

Qin Bufei, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up.

"Sister, I've seen these kinds of super-grade evil spirits in other instances. They are chaotic... No one knows what they're thinking, and there are no rules to restrain them. Everything about them is disordered, and you can never satisfy them."

"Because all the rules are determined by their own ideas, but they have no idea what they are thinking."

Xia Xiaoqin listened quietly to what Qin Bufei had to say, then looked back at the main entrance.

Niu Hao, who was pale with fright, kept rubbing his hands and asked questions tremblingly.

"Uh...uh...you, you've graced us with your presence. What would you like to order?"

"shoe..."

The woman in the red dress mumbled something, but it was indistinct and impossible to understand.

"Assistant Manager! Assistant Manager, what are you standing there for? Come and serve the customers!"

Niu Haoshou couldn't take the pressure anymore and shouted for Huang Zhonghou to come over quickly.

Huang Zhonghou pointed at himself incredulously, his lips turning white.

"Me? Boss, you must be joking. I just got here. If you send me and I don't handle the service well, I'll be finished!"

Even though Huang Zhonghou had never seen any special-level evil spirit NPCs before, judging from the current situation, the woman in red in front of him was definitely not a benevolent person.

"You...you, I said come here, so come here right now! Listen to what this lady is saying, or I'll make sure you regret it!"

Niu Haoshou's voice trembled with urgency.

Under the threat of his gaze, Huang Zhonghou reluctantly walked over and approached the woman in red at close range.

"Shoes...I want shoes..."

The woman was already standing at the shop entrance, her voice low and sinister as she murmured.

"Boss, she said she wants shoes!"

Huang Zhonghou finally understood and quickly reported to Niu Haoshou.

Niu Haoshou's eyes darted around, looking down.

The woman's red high heels were tattered, covered in dirt and mud, and even the right heel was broken off.

Looking upwards, one sees the woman's bluish-purple legs, covered in bulging veins that seem about to burst.

"Shoes! What are you waiting for? Quickly find her a pair of shoes!"

Niu Haoshou immediately kicked him impatiently.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief as Huang Zhonghou rummaged through the warehouse and found a pair of women's sandals.

Tonight, no matter what, we must get rid of this plague.

Otherwise, he and this shop will be completely wiped out!

"The shoes...the shoes are here."

Huang Zhonghou, trembling with fear, held up the shoe in front of the woman in red.

The woman in red picked up her sandals and touched them inch by inch with her hands.

"The shoes are beautiful...the shoes are beautiful..."

As the woman murmured, she hugged the sandals tightly to her chest.

But the next second, Huang Zhonghou's eyes widened.

He touched his neck in a daze, feeling the wet, warm sensation between his hands.

Huh? That's strange...

As his vision slowly shifted backward, Huang Zhonghou reached out, futilely trying to grab his own neck. But with a sticky, fleshy sound, his neck slid backward little by little along the incredibly smooth cut surface.

Rolling around—

Huang Zhonghou stared wide-eyed as his head slammed off his neck and rolled to the ground.

"Ahhhhh!"

With a scream, Liu Feifei, who had her hair tied in a ponytail, screamed shrilly from not far away.

Everyone saw it.

The woman in red did nothing, and Huang Zhonghou's head fell off with incredible smoothness.

"Shoes... I didn't want shoes... I wanted socks."

The woman in red looked up, and the shoes she had been tightly clutching just moments before were thrown away.

"Socks...I want socks..."

Niu Haoshou hissed as he glanced at Huang Zhonghou, who was lying on the ground bleeding profusely. His huge eyes darted around frantically, his gaze constantly shifting between the other employees.

Don't pick me! Don't pick me!

All the employees lowered their heads as far as they could, praying that Niu Haoshou wouldn't see them.

"Daily Necessities...Daily Necessities staff! Xia Xiaoqin, Qin Bufei! Quickly...quickly find her a pair of socks!"

Cold sweat dripped from Niu Haoshou's forehead as he roared at Xia Xiaoqin and Qin Bufei.

"Going there will surely lead to death..."

Qin Bufei's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"That woman in red, she doesn't even know what she wants."

"Everyone in this shop is going to die here today."
