I work the night shift at a 24-hour convenience store.
On my first day of employment, my predecessor only left me an old notebook——
It is filled with rules that must be followed.
Don't stock shelves after three in the morning.
Don't respond to non-existent customers.
If "another you" appears in the surveillance, close the store immediately.
I thought it was just a prank.
Until the first time I broke a rule and someone paid the price.
The second violation will no longer be borne by me.
The third time, the system asked me to choose personally——
Sacrifice innocent people, or cover myself.
From that day on, I discovered something even scarier:
The rules began to speak through my mouth.
I am no longer sure whether every word I say is a kind reminder.
Still pronounce the verdict calmly.
This is a convenience store that is only open at night.
It is also a system of rules that gradually invades people's hearts.
When dawn comes——
Can I still consider myself an "ordinary person"?
