Sany Convenience Store

This is a convenience store brand with a large number of chain stores throughout the Federation and enjoys extremely high brand recognition throughout the Federation.

Many office workers like to buy a quick lunchbox at Sany convenience stores to make do with a meal.

This Trinity convenience store located at 36 Devons Avenue is one of the most frequently visited convenience stores by office workers in the nearby office buildings.

This is one of the few convenience stores in Limen that operates 24 hours a day.

As the number of homeless people increases, cities are often no longer so safe at night.

Therefore, shops that remain open late at night generally face a higher risk factor.

However, these shops also attract people who work late into the night or finish get off work late at night, and the income is not too bad.

After all, no other shops nearby were open.

"Hello, this is Federal Currency. The total price including tax is Federal Currency. Will you be paying by card or electronic payment?"

A girl with a pale golden braid cascaded down her left shoulder to her chest. She had a cute face and fair skin. She handed a bento box with a discount tag to a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap.

The girl standing there naturally exuded a youthful and beautiful aura, which even the simple blue and white work clothes of the convenience store, which looked a bit old-fashioned, could not hide.

The middle-aged man glanced at the girl, took out a ten-Federal coin bill, and handed it over.

The girl was visibly taken aback when she saw the banknote, but still smiled and accepted it.

"I'll take your 10 Federal Coins, here's your change in Federal Coins."

As she typed in the computer, the bill box under the cash register popped out.

Her movements were clumsy, and it took her a while to find four 1-dollar bills, one 50-cent coin, one 25-cent coin, one 5-cent coin, and one 1-cent coin.

She folded the money, put it together with the lunchbox, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"Thank you."

The middle-aged man took the lunchbox and money, glanced at the girl and the cash register, and turned to leave.

Immediately afterwards, the next customer came to pay.

Several minutes passed before the girl finished serving all the customers.

She let out a long sigh of relief and leaned against the cashier counter.

Are you tired?

A woman in her thirties, wearing a work uniform, walked out of the warehouse.

"No," the girl shook her head, "but a customer just paid with paper money, and I haven't used it in a long time."

I encountered someone paying with cash, and they spent ages trying to find change.

“There’s nothing we can do,” the woman smiled and walked to another cashier next to the girl. “There are a lot of people like this. You’ll get used to it. Some people just don’t like swiping cards or making electronic payments.”

As she spoke, she looked at the girl and asked, "What time do you get off work today?"

"Until midnight."

The girl whispered.

As she spoke, she glanced at the time on her wristband. It was already eleven o'clock, and she could leave work soon.

"Are you working part-time?" The woman glanced at the bracelet. "Don't schedule such late shifts in the future. It's not safe for girls to work night shifts. Go home early. I'm going home now."

"I'm happy just to have a job."

The girl nodded obediently, "Thank you, Sister Lina."

"You have such a sweet tongue, young lady. Anyway, please be careful."

The woman smiled, said goodbye to the girl, changed her clothes, packed her things, and walked out of the convenience store.

To save costs, usually only one person is on duty at the convenience store late at night.

The woman had some things to do today and worked overtime for a while.

The entire huge convenience store was empty except for the girl.

"Ugh···"

She sighed, looking at the string of missed calls on her bracelet, her brows furrowing into a deep frown.

"Bill, please."

A hoarse voice suddenly rang in her ears, and at the same time, a packaged bento box was placed in front of her.

"Hello,"

The girl immediately perked up and looked ahead.

Before her was a figure completely shrouded in a black hood; she could not see the person's face or expression.

and···

When did this person come in?

She heard no footsteps, saw no one, and even the welcome sensor at the door didn't go off.

Could it be that I encountered something I shouldn't have...?

The girl suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, but she still gritted her teeth, picked up the bento box, and scanned the code. "Hello, the total is including tax. Will you be paying by card or electronic payment?"

"Swipe your card."

The shadowy figure slowly raised its hand, revealing a emaciated, battered hand, and on that hand, a black and gold credit card was clutched.

The shadowy figure swiped the credit card at the card reader to verify his identity.

drop--

With a soft click, the payment was successful.

The girl felt a sense of relief.

She had a feeling that the hooded figure in front of her could slit her neck with the credit card in his hand.

As this thought crossed her mind, she suddenly noticed that there really was some kind of crimson spot on the credit card, but it was hidden in the black card body and not so easy to recognize.

The moment she saw the spot, she abruptly looked away.

My back started to break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, the shadowy figure also looked up and glanced at the girl.

But he didn't say anything. Instead, he put away his credit card, picked up his lunchbox, and left.

"call--"

The girl let out a long sigh of relief, then raised her bracelet and opened her horoscope. "Is my horoscope bad today...?"

However, she didn't stay there for long before another customer walked into the shop.

When she looked up, the customer had already gone deep into the shop.

It was already 11:30 p.m.

Just then, a figure in a black coat walked over. He didn't go to the shelves, but went straight to the cashier.

"Open the cash register, quick."

With his back to the surveillance camera, the man took his hand out of his coat and pulled out a small, black handgun.

The girl was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

“Turn on the radio, quick, take out all your money. Didn’t you hear what I said, you bitch?”

The man glanced at the dazed girl and brandished his gun.

His words brought the girl back to her senses. She glanced at the robber, nodded slightly, and reached for the cash register.

“That’s more like it,” the man said with a smile, looking at the girl’s delicate profile. Only now did he have time to examine her face closely. “When you open the cash register later, you’ll come with me too.”

The girl looked at him tremblingly, carefully and slowly entering the numbers.

"Why so slow?"

The man said somewhat impatiently.

"When not in a sales position, you need to enter the employee number..."

The girl answered tremblingly, while at the same time, she reached for the alarm button under the cash register with her other hand.

"Scan this, and it will open immediately."

A voice came from behind her.

At the same time, a bento box passed over the girl's body from behind and was placed on the cashier's counter.

There's one more! It's a customer who just came in!

While she was distracted, the other person climbed over the counter from the other side.

"Shh," the person behind her grabbed the girl's hand that was reaching for the alarm button, "cooperate if you want to live."

The girl recognized the voice, but didn't have time to think about it.

She trembled as she scanned the QR code on the bento box and opened the cash box on the radio.

The man holding the gun at the cashier kept glancing back and forth between her face and chest, a lewd smile on his face.

At that moment, the girl recalled the news she had seen about girls being murdered by thugs and their bodies dumped in dark alleys.

Her body began to tremble involuntarily.

It is now late at night, and the streets are deserted.

At this time, no more guests will be coming in.

Even if a guest came in and saw this scene, they might not necessarily save her.

"faster."

The person behind him urged.

The girl slowly opened the money box.
