nightmare novelist

"Senior Su Qian is good-looking, and his grades have never dropped from the first place in his age. These alone will not make him famous in Pumice No. [-]." Said a boy named Wang Ji in the first year of high school. After finishing this sentence, he paused, and suddenly hesitated, "Should...not be?"

Jiang Li, who stood by and listened carefully, thought about Su Qian's face, and then thought of all kinds of anonymous notes that would appear on his desk on weekdays. Man of the hour.

"Anyway, as far as I know, although senior Su Qian caused a lot of troubles because of that face in his first year of high school, at that time everyone thought that this good-looking school bully was very cold and arrogant towards others, and his face was expressionless and cold all day long. No matter how much I like his appearance, girls still feel bored after being rejected for a whole year. My sister said that he was more like the mascot in the class than Su Qian, who was popular at that time. The ugly one is a vase, the kind that is placed there for people to see." Wang Ji shook his head and said, "Just look at it from a distance, don't play with it."

"Senior Su Qian is quite a nice person." Jiang Li actually didn't communicate much with Su Qian himself, but felt that it was quite normal for Su Qian to chat with Mr. Deng in that nightmare world.

"Later, my sister and the others also found out." When Wang Ji said mysteriously, other people surrounded him as if they heard storytelling. A stray cat with legs and burn marks on its fur, he seems to have bought a lot of cat treats from the pet store, and played together for a long time, knowing that he would be late for school, but he didn't stop."

"It is said that senior Su Qian hooked up with that wild cat, and made an appointment to play together the next day. My sister said that she didn't believe it when she first found out about it. She always thought that the cold and cold student should be The type that kicks stray cats away when they see them dirty."

"So that senior who was on the sidelines has been watching late for school?" A puzzled question came from the side.

"..." Wang Ji paused in embarrassment, "I also asked my sister when I heard about it, and she said that the picture should be pretty pretty in the first place, and it's not surprising that I'll watch it for so long."

"..."

"And on the second day, other students who knew about it, including my sister, also went to watch the fun together. They originally only wanted to sneak a peek in advance, but they didn't expect that Senior Su Qian arrived sooner than they did. Early in the morning, I prepared a lot of snacks for cats and even various small toys that cats like. Although Senior Su Qian was still expressionless, my sister said that she had put all kinds of snacks and toys one by one from Senior Su Qian Judging from the neatly arranged movements on the ground, he should be looking forward to it."

"But senior Su Qian waited there for a long time, and the wild cat he was waiting for still didn't come. My sister said that it was the first time they saw the top student in their class sitting pitifully on the roadside pier, looking out of his mind He still kept muttering that he would have to wait a little longer, after all, it was an agreement."

"What happened next?" Jiang Gracilaria next to him couldn't help being curious.

"Later..." Wang Ji drew a long voice, "Later, my sister couldn't stand it anymore, so she rushed out from the corner with a dozen people at that time, and no matter what Senior Su Qian thought at that time, she just went straight to her. Grab the senior by the wrist and drag him all the way back to school."

"My sister was very proud when recalling this passage, saying that she felt how tender the skin of the mascot of Class [-] of the third year of high school was, and at the same time said a line very handsomely——"

"Don't wait, the wild cat has already returned home with its new owner, let's go back too." When Wang Ji repeated her old sister's lines, she also showed cool expressions and movements.

"Wow! Your sister is so handsome!" The girl who was listening to "Storytelling" suddenly exclaimed, and asked expectantly, "Then your sister and Senior Su Qian later..."

"How is it possible?" Wang Ji glanced at the girl over there, "My sister said that if she wants to find a brother-in-law for me in the future, she must find someone who can speak human language when we communicate. Senpai Qian's attitude is indeed different."

Facing the expectant eyes of the curious babies, Wang Ji hid his face in pain: "My sister used to be a fan of Su Qian's senior, but now she has become... a mother fan. It is because of this incident that my sister They gradually discovered that Senior Su Qian is not as cold and arrogant as he appears on the surface, compared to adjectives like Bingshan, he is more like an ordinary person who does not know how to express emotions, but he is very good-looking and has very good academic performance."

"Although Senior Su Qian rejected all the girls who tried to confess to him, he was also unable to participate in various sports activities with the boys because of his weakness, and he did not accept any gifts. But once the boys in my sister's class bought it for a friend. A piece of bread was accidentally placed on senior Su Qian’s desk by mistake, the senior stared at the bread for a while, thanked the boy, and said in exchange that he could help tutor him with the wrong math problems on the test paper.”

"My sister said that senior Su Qian didn't seem to have had breakfast that day. Seeing his thin appearance, he might not have the habit of eating breakfast, so my sister and the others made an appointment to bring some snacks for the senior from time to time. As long as the snacks are delivered Ask some mathematics, physics and chemistry English questions, and the seniors will obediently eat the snacks. Sometimes for an apple, they will help the classmates in the class for a few hours."

"Then..." Wang Ji began to play tricks.

"And then?" The students around were extremely curious.

"Then my sister's academic performance improved by leaps and bounds." Wang Ji looked envious and jealous, "Senior Su Qian is really good at giving lectures. My sister sometimes has no patience to teach me, so she puts the Show the questions I don’t understand to Senior Su Qian, and secretly record the explanations of Senior Su Qian on the mobile phone. It’s strange to say that no matter how my sister explains the topics that I don’t understand, I will follow the solution of Senior Su Qian It's really simple."

A girl next to her was suddenly depressed: "My sister is also in Class [-], Grade [-], and she never told me that there is another trick!"

"Anyway, my sister and the others are treating Senior Su Qian well now. They don't get close or alienate, so they make an appointment to bring some snacks every day. By the way, they can sit next to Senior Su Qian when he explains the topics. It can improve his grades and be pleasing to the eye. Why? Wouldn't it be fun to do it?" As he said that, Wang Ji changed the topic again, "But my sister and the others would do this because they thought that senior Su Qian's family might never have prepared breakfast for him. So every time after giving the food to the senior, They will all stare at the senior and make sure he eats all the food."

"Didn't you say that Senior Su Qian's family is quite rich?"

"However, my sister said that his parents never came to a parent-teacher meeting, and they never participated in the sports festival and art festival that the school invited parents to." Wang Ji sighed again, "It's my sister's turn to arrange snacks this morning. , until I came to school, she was still busy. She said that she was not sure whether senior Su Qian had breakfast. If she had breakfast, she couldn’t prepare something too full. , if the food prepared is too expensive, the senior may refuse it, and if she prepares snacks from the small shop at the door, she can't pass her own test..."

"So what did your sister prepare in the end?" A curious question came from the side.

Wang Ji spread his hands: "I don't know either. Besides, it's already after lunch, and senior Su Qian just came to school. I guess I can't get the things my sister prepared."

"Actually..." Jiang Li, who had been listening quietly for so long, suddenly said, "Although I know that Senior Su Qian is very good, but after hearing what you said, Wang Ji, I suddenly found out that your sister and Senior Su Qian's classmates They are also very good people, it's great for Senior Su Qian to meet your sister and the others."

"Actually, Senior Su Qian may not have realized this, after all, my sister and the others are doing it too covertly." Wang Ji scratched his head with a smile.

"I don't necessarily know." The boy standing on the other side listening to the story raised his hand and interjected, "I said before that my aunt makes breakfast next to the school, right? In fact, Senior Su Qian used to be a regular customer of my aunt's breakfast stall. She He always educates me about the seniors studying while eating breakfast."

"But then Senior Su Qian never went to the breakfast stand again. My aunt met Senior once on the road and asked him how long it was since he came to try her buns." Shy, "The senior said that once my aunt went back to the country for business, and the early stall was closed for several days without opening the door, so he didn't go there again."

"My aunt will let him come to the breakfast stall tomorrow, and you can treat him to breakfast for free."

"But at that time, Senior Su Qian said..." The boy paused, "He said that someone might help bring food, and if he had breakfast, he would not be able to eat it. So Senior Su Qian should also be aware of this, but both parties You never broke it, did you?"

"It feels so strange." The girl next to her sighed, "But I am a little envious of that atmosphere. Wang Ji's sister must be very happy when they are doing these things."

"Okay, the atmosphere in our class is also very good!" A boy next to him approached the girl, "If you want, you can make breakfast for me from tomorrow!"

"Get out! Wait until you are as good-looking as Senior Su Qian!"

"Huh? So in the end, you still have to look at the face? God has no eyes!"

The storytelling activity in Jiang Lian's class ended in a burst of noise.

When Su Qian walked into the classroom of Class [-] of the third year, the lunch break was almost over. The students who were preparing for the afternoon class all fell silent when they saw Su Qian appearing at the door, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him.

"Su Qian, are you feeling better?" Wang Ru, the monitor of Class [-], Senior Three, came out from the back row with a worried expression, "...Well, have you had lunch? Have you had breakfast? Are you hungry? ?”

Su Qian, who slept in the mirror world all night, really forgot the passage of time. Now when she heard the other party mention it, she subconsciously touched her empty stomach. He walked to the vicinity of Hujing Jiayuan yesterday to buy something. For dinner, I bought something and didn't eat much, and I didn't know where I forgot it.

After doing the math, Su Qian hadn't eaten for 24 hours.

Seeing the small movements of Su Qian's hands, the squad leader's eyes lit up first, and then his eyes felt a little distressed, and said tangledly: "I, I brought a... roasted sweet potato in the morning. It was originally hot in the thermal bag, but now There should be a little temperature left, do you want to eat something to fill your stomach?"

Before Su Qian nodded, the squad leader quickly added: "We, ahem, I have prepared some problems that I can't do, and I am planning to ask you for advice!"

When Su Qian nodded, the originally quiet classroom moved instantly.

When the head teacher of the third and second class next door passed the door of the class, he found that his colleague, the head teacher of the first class, was standing outside the classroom door and had not entered the classroom for a long time.

"Mr. Wang, why don't you go in?" the head teacher of Class Two asked while taking a look into the classroom, and found that the No. When they arrived nearby, they all took notes and went to class together, "The learning atmosphere in your class is still so good."

"Yeah, so I'll go in later." Teacher Wang made a booing gesture, "I won't bother them."

When Su Qian left school yesterday morning, she took sick leave, and with the honor of being the first in the grade, the teacher in charge only felt distressed and had no doubts. Seeing Su Qian returning to school in the afternoon felt normal, but because he looked Very energetic and gratified.

On the other hand, Su Qian experienced the test of the nightmare world twice within 48 hours. Although he got a rest in the mirror world, his slow heart rate immediately made him feel extremely tired after leaving the mirror world, so he rushed back to school and talked again. A whole class of questions...

By the time Su Qian left school with the bell rang, she was exhausted.

He walked along the commercial street next to the pumice lake to the villa area where the Su family was located, but he didn't see any signs of gray fog along the way.

However, when Su Qian returned to the door of the house, something unexpected happened. The courtyard door that should have been locked was opened, and the villa door that should have been locked was also ajar.

Su Qian quickened her pace and opened the door of the house, and saw two dusty people sitting in the living room. It was the adoptive mother Yang Hui and the adoptive father Su Yan who were wearing suits and had not removed their makeup. Their suitcases were still piled up in the living room. , with a tired face, it should be from a ten-hour flight.

"..."

Just as Su Qian wanted to say something to her adoptive parents whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Yang Hui came over and touched Su Qian's forehead with a cold hand, and then said in a cold tone: "Our business over there hasn't been finished yet, Maybe I won’t come back for a while, remember not to turn off your phone next time.”

"Ah."

Before Su Qian could say anything more, the dusty couple left with their luggage, leaving Su Qian standing alone in the empty hall of the villa.

"This is also a kind of concern." Su Qian muttered to herself, put down her schoolbag, and walked into the kitchen to see if there was anything else to eat at home.If there is nothing to eat, he has to go to the supermarket to do some shopping.

Because I overslept in the mirror world last time, the time of the watch and mobile phone in that place will also be invalid, so Su Qian did not enter the secret base of the mirror for several days, but took the time to clean the house and put the refrigerator in the kitchen. It is full of all kinds of food that can be eaten after heating, and occasionally chats with Lilac and the others about the nightmare world.

Most of the time, it was actually Su Qian who was listening to Ding Xiang sharing various information about the nightmare world. After all, that girl was very interested in the nightmare world, as if she was a passionate explorer, trying her best to obtain relevant information .

Facts have proved that although the existence of the nightmare world is unimaginable, since the nightmare world has not sealed the mouths of the experiencers, as long as Ding Xiang tries hard to search the Internet, he will be able to find information about the nightmare world, find other experiencers, and even those created by other experiencers. Various small groups.

It is gratifying that Su Qian's classmate at least knows that people's hearts are unpredictable, browsing information is browsing information, and will not take the initiative to get in touch with other experiencers.Of course, Ding Xiang was able to remain cautious in this way, thanks to the reminder and guidance from Miss Bai Kou.

According to the information obtained by Ding Xiang on the Internet, it seems that there are many scattered small groups of experiencers, but most of them are the same as Su Qian and the others, just a few people who experienced the nightmare world together added a communication group.

Most of the trainees who can speak on the Internet have experienced near-death in the nightmare world. A few extremely lucky people not only completed the tasks in the nightmare world, but even brought those items with magical powers in the nightmare world to the world outside the gray mist .

These items are likely to be mysterious objects with numbers and files in the Book of Nightmare like the mirror and candle lamp, but Su Qian has never been in touch with those items, so she cannot know any relevant information.

Those trainees with mysterious items are also looking for trainees everywhere with their own strength, because of various purposes that Su Qian doesn't understand, they want to annex all kinds of scattered small teams of trainees and grow their own team.

It's just that among these people... no one knows what the nightmare world and the gray fog really are.

"Ding Xiang: The conditions for recruiting experiencers are too generous, right? It's almost like those scam advertisements that make money by typing."

"Bai Kou: There will always be people who will believe it, but there will be no pies in the sky. Even if these recruitment conditions are true, the trainees who are hooked must bear as much risk as the generous reward."

"Lilac: But I'm really envious of what they got from the nightmare world. I saw a trainee take away a mysterious object that can duplicate things from the nightmare world. Everyone said that it can be used to duplicate banknotes."

"Bai Kou: If the number of the copied banknotes is exactly the same, how is it different from counterfeit banknotes?"

"Ding Xiang:...that makes sense."

While Su Qian was watching Ding Xiang and Bai Kou's various chats, the phone rang suddenly, and the caller's name displayed on the screen was only two words - editor.

"Hello." When Su Qian answered the phone, her tone was calm, but she felt guilty for some reason.

Because of the interference from the nightmare world, Su Qian almost forgot that she still had an unfinished manuscript and a editor in charge who was always in a hurry and had a bad temper.

"Little ancestor." A young female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Tomorrow is the deadline."

"..." Su Qian glanced at the nearby computer that hadn't been turned on for a few days, and said very calmly, "I didn't write."

Originally, Su Qian had already taken the phone away from her ear, and began to guess how many words her editor-in-chief would use to condemn her for being irresponsible and failing her expectations.But after waiting for a long time, Su Qian only heard the editor's sigh from the other end of the phone.

"Put the manuscript aside for now. I still have to invite you to visit me tomorrow and Saturday. There are some contracts that you need to sign in person." The editor-in-charge is always energetic on weekdays, but the tone of his voice at this moment sounds a little tired to Su Qian , as if troubled by some problem.

After speaking, the other side directly hung up the phone.

Although the deadline of the deadline was relaxed, Su Qian was not the kind of character who would cheer for it. After thinking about it, she silently turned on the computer on the desk next to her, preparing to finish the manuscript she had written before entering the nightmare world.

Before the computer was turned on, there appeared on the black screen of Sui Jing's face, which was exactly the same as Su Qian's, but with a completely different expression.

But Su Qian just waited for the screen to light up, and then devoted all her attention to the open document.As for the mirror goblin who lures him into the mirror world in the reflection all the time, Su Qian, who is in a hurry to write, has no time to take care of it for the time being.

Tomorrow...do we still have to go far away?
