The Basement of the Haunted House Convenience Store Connects the Worlds of Yin and Yang

Su Yuan, a retired veteran and former store manager, spends his savings to take over the haunted house at No. 13, Old Willow Alley, and open a convenience store.

At midnight, the glass door is still shut, but wet footprints have already made their way onto the counter.

A drowned female ghost opens her huge, blood-red mouth. “You dare ask for money when you're selling things to lonely ghosts?!”

The next instant, a bronze bell rings out, and the Heavenly Dao's Commercial Laws appear:

Inside the store's absolute domain, the Heavenly Dao forbids violence. Violators will have their body and spirit punished!

The female ghost is blasted to the floor on the spot. Trembling, she pulls out ghost money. “Spare me, shopkeeper! I'll pay... I'll buy cigarettes!”

The old cash register springs open by itself: ghost-world currency exchanged at a rate of 100 to 1, with the tax deducted and the money deposited straight into a bank account!

From then on, the convenience store at No. 13, Old Willow Alley undergoes a dramatic transformation:

White Impermanence craves oden and grilled sausages, Meng Po comes by in the middle of the night asking for hot-pot base, the Star Official of Longevity trades century-old ginseng for instant noodles, and the underworld soldiers at the ferry queue up to ask him to shop for them!

The old neighborhood residents all think Su Yuan is some kind of mystic master.

Su Yuan just wants to check the books. “Don't call me master. I'm just a convenience-store owner. This store does not offer credit!”
