    Late at night, a convenience store that is about to close.

    Xiao Lan changed into his uniform and was collecting his belongings. The young man had handsome features and fair skin. Under normal circumstances, he should have gone home quickly, and then rushed to wash up and go to bed, because at 5 o'clock the next morning he needed to Get up and start a new part-time job.

    But now he didn't know where to go.

    He was just kicked out by the landlord today, because the landlord wanted to raise the price of the broken bed in his house that leaked water during the day and air at night, and was on the verge of falling apart all day long, and Xiao Lan, who used almost all of his income to pay off his debts, really had no extra money. .

    So after harvesting a fancy taunt to the poor ghost, Xiao Lan could only pack up and leave. At this moment, the black backpack in his hand contained all his belongings.

    Xiao Lan thought about whether to find a vacant room tonight and make do with it for one night, and casually opened the door of the staff room.

    It was pitch black outside the door.

    Xiao Lan suddenly felt that something was wrong. Just now... did he turn off the lights?

    How could he turn off the light before leaving the convenience store, and the direction of the light switch is opposite to that of the staff room.

    There was an unusual silence in the dark, and even the engine sounds of vehicles passing by occasionally disappeared.

    In the corner, there seemed to be a blackness that was thicker than the night spreading.

    The situation was strange, Xiao Lan directly walked around the darkness and rushed out of the convenience store. As a qualified employee, he did not forget to lock the door.

    After going out, he directly rode on his old bicycle, which was ringing all over his body except for the bell. The tall and thin young man stepped on the pedals with all his strength, and used the fastest speed to stay away from the convenience store.

    The night wind in the city was mixed with the hustle and bustle and exhaustion of the day, blowing his slightly curly black hair, with a little dusty breath, not refreshing, but the smell that Xiao Lan is most familiar with, and it is still the same today.

    The wind stopped unknowingly, but the strange feeling still did not subside.

    It was so quiet, so eerily quiet, that there was no human voice, no sound of the air conditioner running, not even the chirping of insects or the wind. The whole world seemed to stand still at the moment.

    The thick darkness gradually filled in from a distance, swallowing up the street lamps that were already struggling with drowsiness. The street fell into darkness little by little, and the darkness approached Xiao Lan step by step.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Lan adjusted the handlebars and galloped in the opposite direction to the darkness.

    But after passing through several streets, it was all the same silence, and when looked up, every direction was gradually approaching darkness.

    - was surrounded.

    The darkness eroded in front of him majestically, and in the next instant, Xiao Lan fell into a world of complete darkness.

    Opening his eyes again, a door appeared in front of Xiao Lan.

    It's not some high-end stuff, or it's the kind of inferior particleboard door that often appears in public toilets. The rubber on the surface has peeled off, and it's adorned with indelible pieces, revealing the wood chips inside. The door also reads:

    [Rich woman begging for a child 136XXXXXXXX]

    [Is it stupid upstairs? This is the women's toilet]

    [Very good, you successfully caught my attention]

    Some people even wrote a whole hero song, revealing a kind of bitterness that is not smooth...

    Xiao Lan twisted the handle, but did not respond. He tried to push the door again, but didn't move. This is unscientific. When did the doors of public toilets have such good quality?

    Looking out from the crack of the door, there is no trace of people.

    Looking around, the lights in this toilet cubicle are dim and flicker from time to time. The walls are covered with large areas of mildew, and the ground is covered with dust and water. It seems that it has not been used for a long time.

    However, the even more terrifying thing is that Xiao Lan's backpack is gone!

    Not only the bag, but also the unsold lunch boxes today, and the only 15 yuan and 30 cents left in cash, as well as his exclusive car-Mr. N-hand Bicycle who was born in the last century.

    Now all he has left is the broken cell phone in his pocket that had to be glued to the screen with clear glue, and... clothes and shoes that were worth less than a hundred dollars from head to toe.

    "All my belongings—" Xiao Lan couldn't help rubbing his face to see if he could wake him up from his nightmare.

    When you think you are poor enough, reality will give you a noble and glamorous slap and tell you "no, you can be even poorer". I don't know if it's more terrifying to appear in this strange place, or the current bankruptcy crisis is more deadly.

    "what……"

    Suddenly, a hoarse laughter sounded outside the silent compartment door, accompanied by a gloomy and cold wind blowing by the ears, making people extremely uncomfortable.

    Xiao Lan suddenly raised his head, just now he had clearly confirmed that there was no one outside.

    Suddenly, a line of unscientific text appeared in front of Xiao Lan’s eyes:

    [You are so poor that Zhang Dong is happy, there is finally someone poorer than him in the world, so he decided to give you a chance]

    [Trigger Hidden Side Quest: Reach Out Party]

    [Task description: Reach out and borrow a piece of paper from the lucky people outside the door]

    [Quest reward: random skill*1, Zhang Dong's gift*1]

    [Hint: Hidden branch lines are extremely rare, the task cannot be given up, and if the task fails, you will never be able to leave the current space]

    This is the rhythm of being trapped in the toilet forever without success!

    A hardcore opportunity.

    There is a dirty word that don't know when to say it or not.

    Xiao Lan tried to open the door to no avail, and after confirming that he couldn't get through by climbing the wall, he finally accepted his fate, didn't he just ask someone to borrow paper in a weird toilet!

    It's a fucking women's toilet...

    But who is Zhang Dong?

    After a while, someone finally entered the toilet, and there were still a lot of people.

    They looked at the toilet: the accumulation of dust everywhere, the mildew on the walls, the standing water on the ground, and the low-wattage lights that were flickering at the moment, it seemed strange and inexplicable.

    "that……"

    A voice sounded faintly, reverberating in the dilapidated scene, and even had an echo.

    "Ah—there's a ghost!"

    A piercing scream rang out, dissipating the courage they had finally accumulated, and then several people hurriedly withdrew. A man in a suit persuaded them for a while, but they refused to enter.

    In the end, the only people who chose to go into the toilet were a man in a suit, two gangsters, and a short-haired schoolgirl. They walked to the door of the cubicle where the suspected sound came from and stood still, the man in the suit was about to ask.

    But I saw a hand stretched out from the gap below the door: "Excuse me, can you lend me a piece of paper?"

    Four people: "..."

    They want to go back.

    All of you present have not heard one or two weird stories about toilets. Borrowing paper from the next door is a classic and can't be more classic. It ranks in the front row of the strange talk world. Whoever borrows it will be unlucky, and its lethality is infinite.

    The female student shrank back slightly.

    The gangster brother with the gold chain next to him couldn't help but lift his pants, probably because he was afraid that he would be embarrassed to urinate.

    The man in the suit seems to be well-informed, but at this moment his face is not pale and he is not panicking. He pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Are you also the one who was pulled in here? It was suddenly dark and very quiet, and you appeared here after waking up."

    "Yes, it is."

    It turned out that Xiao Lan was not the only one who encountered strange things. Xiao Lan didn't know whether to be happy or worried at this moment. What could pull so many people to other places at once? always feel that it is more troublesome than a person encountering a supernatural event.

    "The one inside is probably the same as us." The man in the suit said to the three people beside him, and seemed a little troubled, "I don't have any paper on me, do you have any?"

    The gangsters looked at each other in dismay, and a good man walks the streets without paper.

    "I... I have." The only girl took out a pink package of napkins from her bag, and handed it tremblingly at the gesture of the man in the suit.

    "Thank you." Xiao Lan reached out and took it, the cat on the tissue looked at him with innocent big eyes.

    In an instant, the task display in front of him changed to [Completed].

    At the same time, a skill card and a European-style retro envelope with "Luo" written on it appeared in front of him out of thin air.

    After touching the card, the card disappeared immediately, and the information about the skill appeared in Xiao Lan's mind:

    [Name: Poverty cannot limit my imagination (bound)]

    [Ability: 1. Imagine an ability and give it to yourself within five minutes. The poorer you are, the stronger the ability will be (lv.1) 2. The player’s physical fitness will be enhanced according to the degree of poverty (passive)]

    【Cooling time: 24h】

    [Explanation: Although I am poor, I can dream! This is the last stubbornness of the poor ghost]

    Xiao Lan: "..."

    Obviously it is a skill, but it also comes with ridicule. As a negative bourgeoisie, he felt discriminated against.

    Looking at the ability, Xiao Lan was thinking, an ability, don't know whether it is the ability that can be achieved by human physique, or the ability that is inhuman, and needs to find an opportunity to test it. And the fact that the poorer the more powerful the skill shows, makes Xiao Lan have a bad guess. Could it be that he will not be able to get rid of poverty and become rich in this life...

    As for Ability 2's physical enhancement, Xiao Lan jumped on the spot twice, it seemed to be higher and easier than before. More, it doesn't feel much, is he not poor enough in the eyes of skills?

    Just thinking of this, another line of words appeared:

    [The current poverty index is -22.2608 million, which has just reached the level of skill activation. Please make persistent efforts to create brilliance on the road of poverty]

    22.2608 million, which is exactly the sum of all the miscellaneous debts on Xiao Lan, plus the loan shark that appeared on him inexplicably.

    This skill is to hope that one day he will be poured into the sea by the creditors? Is there any more humanity! !

    Create your sister's glory! !

    Xiao Lan turned his attention to the envelope with a blank expression, and a few lines of instructions appeared on the envelope:

    [Name: Unopenable envelope (bound)]

    [Explanation: This is Zhang Dong's recognition of you, because you are poorer than him, but this envelope looks like a random supermarket, market, slow sale, goods]

    The bright words "supermarket slow-moving goods" are full of presence.

    Xiao Lan: "..."

    Taking a deep breath, resisting the urge to flush it down the toilet.

    Put me in the women's toilet for a long time and give me such a piece of shit, brother Zhang, aren't you being too stingy! ! !

    Putting the envelope in his pocket, Xiao Lan pushed open the door and walked out calmly, facing the onlookers who didn't know whether it was "You are in the mood to go to the toilet" or "Mom has a pervert who hides in the women's toilet". In the compartment, he also washed his hands to show his innocence.

    After that, under the leadership of the man in the suit, he walked out with the other three and joined the others.

    Everyone gathered together, a man in a suit, a gangster with a golden chain, a gangster with a flower arm, three female students, a couple, a middle-aged woman, and a rich, bald middle-aged man.

    Including Xiao Lan, there are 11 in total.

    Everyone was about to communicate, but before they had time to speak, the rolling shutter that looked like a rusted door behind them made a sour metal rubbing sound and opened little by little.

    An air of staleness came over him.

    Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the past.

    Appearing behind the rolling shutter door is a supermarket that is almost as dilapidated as the toilet just now. It is not too big, with dim lighting, stains on the floor, and messy shelves. There are even suspicious dark handprints and finger marks on the walls.

    "Welcome to the terminal supermarket, lucky people!" A gentle and pleasant female voice sounded.

    A woman in a shopping guide uniform suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Xiao Lan can be sure that when he looked at the supermarket, there was no half figure at all. Where did this woman appear?

    She smiled sweetly but stiffly, and said to them in a warm tone:

    "Next, you will participate in the activities of the supermarket."

    "Every hour, please gather at the cashier and choose an item under the witness of the boss."

    "The selection of products that are not in compliance with the regulations and failure to make a selection over time will be punished."

    "Have a nice game!"

    The female shopping guide bowed to everyone and planned to leave.

    "Wait a minute!" The bald middle-aged man hurriedly stopped her, "What the hell are you doing? Recording a show or a prank? I have millions of calls per phone call, and I'm really not interested in playing with you."

    The female shopping guide still had that stiff smile: "This is the world that came to the world, and you are all the lucky ones to be selected."

    "What the hell, I'm leaving now!" The gangster with the golden chain was quite irritable. He looked fierce, but in fact he was most afraid of this kind of ghostly incident. Now that his energy has been tense to the limit, he stepped forward and grabbed the wrist of the female shopping guide.

    The female shopping guide is still repeating: "You are all lucky..."

    The golden chain gangster interrupted her rudely and shouted: "Fart! I warn you not to play this trick with Lao Tzu!"

    The female shopping guide still has a weird and stiff smile, and nothing has changed since she first appeared. Xiao Lan felt that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stopped the golden chain: "You calm down—"

    Before the words were finished, the golden chain had already slapped the female shopping guide fan, her body flew out, and her head slammed against the wall, making a muffled sound.

    The shopping guide's body slowly slid down the wall, leaving a crimson blood trail. She lay motionless, and her chest did not rise and fall, like a broken puppet.

    "I, I... don't use much force." Jin Chain looked at his hand and couldn't believe it.

    Everyone fell into silence, and the sudden appearance of the game and this strange woman was already difficult for people to digest. Now that this woman is dead, is there any chance for them to leave?

    "She...she moved." The short-haired female student pointed to the female shopping guide whose life and death were unknown on the ground.

    Seeing the female shopping guide convulsed all over her body, her head was still hanging down, but her body was propped up on her back, and she used a strange movement to approach the gold chain with her limbs and the ground...

    Seeing that the situation was not good, the golden chain turned around and ran away, but the female shopping guide sped up and threw herself directly on him, her limbs firmly imprisoning him.

    Then there was a scene that made people's scalp tingle - the two people actually merged!

    It slowly melted into a puddle like chocolate under high heat.Then, a human figure slowly climbed out of this beach - wearing a shopping guide uniform, with a sweet but stiff smile.

    It's a female shopping guide!

    The author has something to say:

    In a fit of anger, Xiao Lan stuffed the envelope into the toilet and flushed it away.

    Lo:  …
