Convenience Store Night Shift Rule #13

《Convenience Store Night Shift Rule #13》 A-Hao started his first night shift at this convenience store, located in an old alley. The night shift pay was ridiculously high, three times the market rate per hour. The store manager didn't say much during the handover, just handed him a laminated piece of paper and said with a chillingly heavy gaze: "Follow these, and you'll survive to get paid. Also, absolutely do not read Rule #13." After the manager left, a strange dog bark echoed from the alley. At 2:30 AM, A-Hao, his palms sweating, pulled out the paper: 【Night Shift Special Service Rules】 At 02:44 AM, a lady in a Qipao from the early Republic of China era will come to buy tea eggs. Be sure to give her the bottom-most one and accept the 'spirit money' she pays. Put the spirit money in the drawer below the cash register; it will automatically be converted to New Taiwan Dollars. If a headless person walks in to pick out a bento box, please microwave it for them using "Microwave Button 9" (even though that button doesn't normally exist). Place it on the counter after microwaving, and never ask if they want a spoon. If a customer requests to purchase "your shadow," politely refuse and recommend they buy the blood cake from the Oden counter instead. ... 13. 【Warning】 If the automatic door chimes three times in a row but no one enters, it means "They" have noticed you read Rule #13. Immediately tear up this paper and— (the rest of the text was obscured by ink-like splatters of dark blood, rendering it illegible) A-Hao's head went "buzz." He had accidentally read Rule #13! "Ding dong—" The automatic door suddenly opened, letting in a gust of cold air.

Cough, cough cough...!" This atmosphere is truly breathtaking. The thirteenth often hides the most unbreakable taboos. Humans' exploration of the boundaries of rules always carries a dangerous allure that's hard to look away from.

The area outside the door was empty. Ah Hao's heart pounded violently, his throat feeling like it was stuffed with lead. He fumbled, trying to tear up the note, but the laminated paper was as hard as iron, refusing to rip no matter how hard he pulled! "Ding-dong——" The second chime. The automatic door's sensor flashed red erratically. Ah Hao cowered behind the counter, his breathing rapid and suffocating. He felt the surrounding air temperature plummet, and the shelves on all sides began to emit a grating friction sound, as if some colossal entity was slowly crawling out from the shadows. "Ding——" Before the third chime even finished— *Snap!* All the fluorescent lights in the store instantly went out! Darkness, as silent as death, enveloped the surroundings, with only the microwave and the vending machine emitting a faint blue glow. An headless figure in a long black robe had, at some point, stiffly appeared just ten centimeters from the counter in front of him! The body trembled slightly, and a viscous, faint, and dripping breath emanated from its chest cavity: "Little one... I... I can't find the head for my lunchbox... Did you see it...?" Immediately after, Ah Hao felt his feet being gripped by several cold, sticky hands. The counter drawers below began to slide open wildly on their own, and hundreds of spirit papers rained down like a shower of flowers, fluttering onto his trembling cheeks. In his ears, the store manager's last message, left on the voicemail before he left, suddenly played automatically: "Oh, right Ah Hao... I forgot to tell you, if you look at the thirteenth item... don't look back at the mirror behind the register... because you're already... tonight's thirteenth product..."
