nightmare novelist

The publishing house that Su Qian cooperates with is in Pumice City. After all, he is only a student no matter what, and there are not many channels to get in touch with outside Pumice City.Moreover, if the publishing house is not in Fushi City, Su Qian, who usually has a bad temper, but the responsible editor who always takes care of him, will not be so relieved to let him go to the publishing house to sign the contract alone.

Su Qian, who only slept for a short while at night, got up early in the morning to finish the manuscript, and when she left home with her tired body, she didn't forget to bring the small round mirror used by the trick mirror.

Although all mirrors that can reflect shadows can become a medium for the emergence of strange mirrors, no one knows when the next nightmare world will appear, and no one knows what the next nightmare world will be like.

There will be a manor with mirrors on the walls, and maybe a manor where no mirrors are allowed, so Su Qian feels that it is more reassuring to carry a mirror with her.

Su Qian never thought about it, why did he feel at ease just because he carried a mirror with him?

"Excuse me, may I sit here?"

When Su Qian was sitting on the bus heading to the publishing house with his eyes closed, a young woman's voice rang in his ears. When he opened his eyes, he saw a short-haired girl in sportswear smiling at him while Pointing to the empty space beside him.

The girl's smile and dress made Su Qian think of Ding Xiang, but unlike Ding Xiang, the girl's eyes kept wandering on him, which made people feel uncomfortable, so Su Qian just leaned closer to the car The position of the window is not intended to have too much intersection with passers-by.

"Are you from Pumice City? You still look like a student, are you a high school student?" After sitting down, the short-haired girl did not act as a quiet passenger. Instead, her tone was familiar and she wanted to chat with Su Qian enthusiastically. "I came to travel from other cities, and people I met said I looked like a high school student, but I was actually a sophomore."

"I can see that you must be very popular in school. I used to be very inconspicuous when I was in high school, so I envy the most influential people in school. I feel that people like them wherever they go." The short-haired girl talked to herself Talking to himself, to outsiders, the two seem like acquaintances traveling together.

"..." Su Qian still chose not to respond.

"When we were in high school, our teachers would always say some ear-piercing words, for example, everyone is special, and the momentary mediocrity may just be that the shining point has not been discovered." The girl still said over there, "I used to I always felt that it was just ordinary chicken soup, and the whole person was quite inferior. Later, I found out that these words are true. Even a mediocre person like me has something special, so judging a person must not be based on appearance. Draw conclusions."

"Sorry, I seem to be a little talkative." The short-haired girl said for a while and then became a little self-blame, "But I don't know why I always feel very friendly when I see you. Have we met somewhere?"

Seeing that Su Qian didn't answer for a long time, the short-haired girl said to herself again: "Hahaha, doesn't this sentence sound like flirting? But haven't we met? By the way, I came to Pumice City alone to travel. Those who are not familiar with it don’t know where to go, can I add your communication number, and then I can ask you about the interesting places in Pumice City.”

"Don't think I'm a weirdo. I just know each other very well. I want to chat with people when I meet them. We really haven't met before..."

Just after the short-haired girl finished speaking, the announcement of the arrival of the bus sounded. According to Su Qian's experience, he didn't need to look to know that the building outside the opened bus door should be the building where the publishing house is located, which is Su Qian's trip. destination.

"Sorry, I'm at my stop." Su Qian got up from her seat without any expression.

I thought this awkward unilateral conversation would stop because of the arrival of the bus, but what Su Qian never expected was that the short-haired girl whose name he didn't even know would also stand up from the seat .

"Coincidentally, I also got off here." The surprise on the short-haired girl's face didn't look fake, "It seems that we are really destined. My name is Liu Hua, and my friends call me A Liu. What's your name? ?”

"...Sorry." Su Qian still chose to refuse.

It makes sense for Su Qian's personality to be out of gregariousness. He is not good at accepting others, and he is not good at rejecting others. Sometimes the other students in class one, third year, see their baby's way of getting along with others, and they want to grab the handkerchief.

Seeing Su Qian getting off the car resolutely, the girl standing behind him who called herself A Liu frowned and quickly followed.

In the building where the publishing house is located, most of the companies settled in are literature and game companies. I heard that there is a small entertainment company in the upper management. There have not been any famous stars, but there are many people who come and go in and out of the building. With a beautiful appearance and a good figure, plus a group of literary workers and a group of game workers who work overtime every day, few people enter and leave the building in suits and leather shoes, and there are many eye-catching scenery.

But when Su Qian appeared, he still attracted a lot of attention.

After all, Su Qian's natural, unpolished but better appearance is more eye-catching than most of the starlets and models in the agency company who have been sculpted and painted with exquisite makeup.

"I knew about this building before I came here. I heard that there is an entertainment company here. Could it be that you have already signed a contract with the entertainment company?" Ah Liu didn't think that Su Qian would be related to the literature and game company, and didn't even speculate. He just came to find someone, and immediately positioned Su Qian as a newcomer to the entertainment company.

"It turns out to be a future star, no wonder!" A Liu followed Su Qian's pace closely, seemingly not seeing the other party's rejection at all, "Actually, on your terms, you can find some more powerful entertainment companies with their own separate building. Isn’t that kind of big company better?”

Su Qian has an electronic visitor card given by the editor, as long as the registration device in the lobby is scanned within the period of use, she can enter the building.

And that A Liu was stunned for a moment after seeing the registration equipment in the building, and then saw the unknown card that Su Qian took out from his pocket, and A Liu who understood what happened immediately followed Su Qian: "But You are so good-looking, as long as you can find an opportunity, you can become famous anywhere."

The registration equipment of the building is different from the entry equipment in the subway station that only allows one person at a time, because the working environment of the building will welcome many visitors without visitor cards, so as long as someone scans the card, the entrance will be closed for a period of time. remain open.

A Liu also took this opportunity to follow Su Qian into the building with a very natural and familiar expression.

Even the people next to them, when they saw Ah Liu and Su Qian "chatting" enthusiastically, would think that the two of them came together from the beginning.Su Qian, who was walking in front, was even more distracted by A Liu's unyielding voice, and she didn't realize that she had actually brought a person without a pass into the building.

"When I was looking for information, I also found that Nanxing Publishing House is also in this building. Have you heard of Nanxing Publishing House?" I don't know if Ah Liu is looking for something to say, let alone that she came here And what is the purpose of investigating here, but the Nanxing Publishing House she mentioned is indeed the publishing house that Su Qian signed a contract with. It is not big or small, but it is said that it is quite famous in certain circles.

"The more famous publications of their family are spooky and thrilling, and there are indeed fewer people who have read them." A Liu didn't need to wait for Su Qian's answer before continuing to talk to himself, "And those of you who aspire to be stars People don’t really like reading books, do they?”

Although Su Qian doesn't like this kind of familiar approach, he will always subconsciously listen to what others have to say.This college girl named A Liu used to keep saying that she should not judge a person just by looking at her appearance, but now her words are full of subjective judgments about Su Qian, and she is full of contradictions and unreliability.

"I like the book of that publishing house very much, and the author who wrote "Monster", but I can't remember the name." When A Liu said this, she didn't seem to realize that the author of "Monster" was walking beside her. "I always feel that the plot in that book is very intimate, as if the author himself has experienced the nightmare world."

Also... experienced the nightmare world?

Su Qian's forward steps paused unobservably, but she continued to move forward.

"Strange, I said it would appear here." A Liu muttered to himself behind Su Qian, "The location given by that thing should not be wrong. Could it be outside..."

A Liu's voice stopped abruptly.

Su Qian, who hadn't waited for the voice for a long time, turned her head uncomfortably, only to find that the figure of the girl with short hair was gone, replaced by a cloud of gray fog that could barely see the figure.

She really is a trainee?

And there are traces of the world of gray mist near this building?

Su Qian thought of what A Liu said before. She seemed to have obtained the location of this building with the help of something. She probably knew that there would be a world of gray fog near here, so she deliberately approached here.

The cloud of human-shaped gray fog remained silent for a long time in the crowded hall, showing no signs of moving.

But not long after, Su Qian saw two more clouds of gray fog approaching their position. Although the gray fog could not have a pass to enter the building, they followed behind the people who entered the building, and the whole process was unstoppable. .

No one else could see them either.

After the three clouds of gray fog gathered together, they changed direction and went to the place where the emergency stairs were on the other side.According to the course of action of the gray fog, Su Qian can almost be sure that the place where the gray fog appeared this time is inside the building!

After thinking about it, Su Qian held down the mirror in her pocket and chased after her again.

I don't know if it's Su Qian's delusion, as long as he leaves the two points and one line between school and home, he can easily encounter the world of gray fog?It's like those unlucky detectives in detective novels where murders happen wherever they go.

Su Qian always thought that the places and buildings in the world of gray fog would be completely covered by gray fog, but there was no trace of gray fog at all outside the building he was in.On the contrary, the emergency stairs of the building in the corner were suddenly blown away by the wind when the gray fog approached!

With the bang of "Boom!", the ordinary people nearby were startled.

But what they couldn't see was the gray mist gushing out from the emergency staircase with a loud noise, and the three trainees who were controlled to walk straight into the gray mist.

Su Qian looked at the elevator entrance not far away, and then at the world of gray fog over there. Seeing that the three trainees were about to enter the gray fog, Su Qian still took out her mobile phone and sent a message to the editor in charge, without waiting for the other person reply, and directly followed the trainees into the world of gray mist.

Regarding the nightmare world in the gray mist, Su Qian still wanted to find out.

"Welcome to the world of nightmares - "Sickness"."

"There are unpredictable dangers ahead, please do what you can."

"The four trainees are requested to try their best to find clues related to the 'disease' within 72 hours. Survival after 72 hours is deemed to be the completion of the task. Please carefully explore the details in the nightmare world."

"Please be careful."

It was still the familiar mechanical voice, but what the voice without any emotion and tone said was very different from the two nightmare worlds Su Qian had experienced before.

What about the unpredictable danger?

What about illness?Is it also the same mysterious thing as Weird Mirror and the others?

Whether it is a mirror or a candle lamp, at least the mysterious objects that Su Qian came into contact with before have physical existence.What is a disease? ?

After the gray fog that blocked the vision dissipated, Su Qian summoned the book of nightmares as quickly as possible. After flipping through the latest pages, she found that the content that emerged with the black handwriting turned out to be——

"File number: E0014 (out of control)"

"File Code: Disease"

"File Class: Unknown"

"File description: Unlock with contact progress, dangerous."

"Known ability: Unlocked with the progress of the release, dangerous."

"Self-reported monologue: Unlock with contact progress."

What surprised Su Qian was not only the two-digit number E0014, but also the same mark as E0002-Mom, which was stamped on both sides of the E0014 number like a red seal, with the word "out of control" clearly printed on it. .

In addition, the file level of E0014 is "unknown", and the two columns of detailed files and known capabilities are also marked with the word "unknown". This is the first time Su Qian has seen it.
