nightmare novelist

"Are you sure about your wish?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry, wisher, I'm afraid you can't pay the price of waiting." E0404 is special in that after giving the mechanical answer, it also added a sentence, "Going to the destination needs to go through the gray fog, and the wisher needs to spend Pay more to be safe."

E0404's redundant words did give Su Qian and the others more expectations. Obviously, E0404 is capable of fulfilling Grandpa Xiaoyu's wish, but it requires more price.

"Do you want to enable multi-person payment?" E0404 added another word, "It is suggested that the wish-maker can reduce the number of survivors in the wish."

"..."

Su Qian understood the meaning of E0404, and even Grandpa Xiaoyu understood the meaning of E0404.

"I won't leave." The skinny woman who didn't know how long she had been in that chair said very calmly, "I'll join the multi-payer, take my life away."

"you……"

"Everything I can get in my body has been taken away, and I'm still alive only because this wishing machine wants me to live." The skinny woman glanced at Grandpa Xiao Yu, "Take that child away, what all of us here do It makes a lot of sense.”

"Mr. Su, is it really safe there?" Grandpa Xiao Yu seemed to be thinking about something.

"The people in Hujingjiayuan...are old with me." Su Qian recalled the E-658 Candlelight who has been stationed in Hujingjiayuan so far. Although that guy has a dark history, he is a lonely person. guy.

If there are survivors who are willing to enter Hujing Jiayuan to accompany him, I believe it is a good thing.

Moreover, in Su Qian's view, they have no other better choice.

In this wish, what Su Qian really cares about is another thing, that is, through this wish, Su Qian and Xu Qingdai, two experienced practitioners who could not leave the dungeon map, may actually leave this villa area. Take a look elsewhere?

Go through the gray and foggy area to Hujing Jiayuan?

Su Qian could even feel her heart beating faster.

"If Hujing Jiayuan is safe, why don't you stay there, but come here?" The woman sitting on the chair suddenly asked coldly.

This question really made it difficult for Su Qian to answer, and even saw Grandpa Xiaoyu next to him with a headache showing doubts.

Just when Su Qian was thinking about how to reply, and whether the other party would believe her reply, an unexpected voice appeared——

"Hujing Jiayuan can provide security for wishers, and it is indeed the best choice within the current scope."

The other party may not believe what Su Qian said, but the original survivors in this area have been with E0404 for too long. After a year of contact, no matter whether they like E0404 or not, they will not question the guarantee given by E0404.

Even Su Qian gave E0404 a look, this guy is pretty good.

"Mr. Su, Ms. Xu, you are all very special people." Grandpa Xiaoyu looked at the black sculpture in front of him, and suddenly felt very emotional, "For those who have persisted in the gray fog for so long, it is rare to be able to wear a decent look." Relaxed. Especially when I saw Mr. Su, I even felt like I was looking at my former students, of course they were before they were affected by the gray fog."

"Of course, the person who can let the wishing machine speak is already special enough." Grandpa Xiao Yu said, sighing, "The wishing machine, I participate in multi-person payment, and you can take whatever you want. Please let Mr. Su Let Ms. Xu go to Hujing Jiayuan safely and unaffected by light rain."

"I'm sorry, wisher, I'm afraid the two of you can't pay the exchange price." Certain characteristics of E0404 cannot be changed.

Wishing machine, you seem to have said before that people around me can have a good discount.Su Qian couldn't help but communicate with E0404 silently.

"..."

"Please wait a moment, the price is being recalculated. I received your wish, and the universal wish machine is serving you."

"The settlement of the price is complete, and the almighty wishing machine welcomes the next wisher."

"What does this mean?" Grandpa Xiaoyu was a little uncertain.

"The deal is completed." Su Qian felt that the theme name of this nightmare world was a little unreliable, and the behavior of E0404 was more like a deal than a wish.

To be honest, the characteristics of machines are fast and without hesitation, and they don't give humans much time to express the sadness of parting.However, judging from the expressions of Grandpa Xiao Yu and the woman on the chair, it seems that they have been preparing for this farewell for a long time.

It's not that Su Qian didn't think of other ways. Before he left the mirror world, he also asked through the mirror whether the trick mirror could bring the survivors of this world into the mirror world, but the answer was no.

In the previous nightmare world, the mirror once pulled Lin Yuhou into the mirror world, but the mirror world at that time seemed to be the reflection of that building, not the manor that Su Qian was familiar with.

The mirror can indeed choose the appearance of the mirror world, but that time he really had no way to bring Lin Houhou into the manor. In order to meet Su Qian's request, it was more like building a temporary space outside the manor.

That space is fixed in the reflection of the building's floor-to-ceiling windows and cannot be moved anywhere.This means that if Su Qian had completed her mission and left the nightmare world, the ghostly mirror that had been following her sweetheart could only forcibly strip away the temporary space where Lin Houhou was located, and the temporary space would be broken instantly, and what would happen to the people inside would not matter. And know.

All in all, the mirror world can protect Xiaoyu and the others for a period of time, but when the task time comes, they may encounter greater danger.

Those who can complete the entry into the mirror world may only have some non-human things, as well as experiencers such as Ding Xiang and Bai Kou that they met back then.

And according to the observation of the mirror, the experienced practitioners can only stay for a short time after entering the world in the mirror.After all, one of the abilities of the magic mirror is to turn the reflection of human beings in the mirror into a ghost, but if what enters the mirror is not the reflection but the body of the experiencer, then the person affected by this ability may become the experiencer himself, what will happen? The consequences are not yet known.

After discussing with Su Qian through the mirror, there seemed to be a certain desire for knowledge on the face of this guy, Su Qian, which made Su Qian feel a little uncomfortable, and immediately changed the topic.

In the end, Wei Jing came to the conclusion that Su Qian was a very special existence to him and to the world in the mirror.

But when Gui Jing said such a sentence affectionately, Su Qian felt that this guy had pasted the words "You may not be human" on his forehead, so she turned and left with a cold expression.

Strange Mirror: "..."

"The wisher has 2 minutes to say goodbye."

When she heard the mechanical sound of E0404, Su Qian, who had always felt that the ranking of this broken machine was watery, suddenly understood why this guy could be listed as S rank.

"No need." Grandpa Xiao Yu turned his back and looked at the piece of cross, "If I want to say something, I will tell Xiao Yu every day, and I will say it every day..."

"The Wishing Machine." The woman who had been sitting on the chair looked at the black statue, "Let me listen to that again?"

"OK."

The dialogue between the woman and the black sculpture is incomprehensible, but from the dialogue between the two, it can be felt that this request is not the first time, the woman seems to ask E0404 to do this often, and E0404 will not take this As a wish, there is no price required.

What came to Su Qian's ears immediately after that?

It's not music, or birds chirping and cicadas chirping, it's the sound of a little girl reading aloud, and it's the sound of light rain.

The content of the reading is not important, just hearing that child's voice full of vitality, that woman who always gives people the feeling that her life is dying, unexpectedly showed a warm smile.

Wishing machine, can you give the old man a little more time so that he can take his granddaughter to Hujing Jiayuan by himself?

Su Qian made such a request to E0404.

"As long as the manager agrees to an exchange." The voice of E0404 also appeared in Su Qian's ear, and what it said surprised Su Qian, because E0404 said "exchange" instead of "make a wish". .

under what conditions?

"You just need to make a wish right away, Master Manager." E0404's request is very strange. After all, Su Qian planned to make a wish from the very beginning. loss.

"Aunt Xu." Su Qian looked at Xu Qingdai who was planning to make a wish next time, "I made an exchange with the wishing machine. As long as I make a wish now, he can delay collecting the price from Grandpa Xiaoyu."

Hearing Su Qian's voice, both Xu Qingdai and Grandpa Xiao Yu looked at Su Qian in surprise.

"Sorry, I was supposed to be the last one to make a wish."

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as it's done within the task time. When I see Xiaoyu, I can easily think of my future child, so I also hope that child can be happier." Xu Qingdai said with a smile, "And I also want to know Su Qian, what wish would you make?"

"The universal wishing machine." Looking at the black statue in front of her, Su Qian said without hesitation, "I want a book."

"Wisher, I'm afraid I need clearer instructions."

Hearing that Su Qian's wish was also a book, Xu Qingdai and the others looked at him strangely.

"What I want is a book of fairy tales in this world. A story about a little girl selling matches would be the best." Su Qian actually didn't intend to get something that shouldn't be taken shortcuts by making a wish at the beginning, so Want something as simple as possible.Since it is a simple thing, Su Qian is more curious about the fairy tales mentioned by E0658 than food and other things that are worthless in the nightmare world.

"Of course, I hope the price has nothing to do with body and lifespan." Su Qian added.

"Please receive your wish. The omnipotent wish machine is serving you. The price charged this time is a small personal possession. It will not cause any damage to you. Please rest assured."

"The price is being settled..."

"The settlement of the price is complete, and the almighty wishing machine welcomes the next wisher."

Su Qian just watched as there were two thick-covered books on the ground below the statue, which were about the size of ordinary books. A hardcover book with a cartoon style was printed with "Andersen's Fairy Tales Collection" in large characters, and the other It doesn't look like a book, but looks like an old and used... notebook?

"Is this buy one get one free?" Xu Qingdai could feel that Su Qian's wish didn't hurt her, but wondered why there was an extra book.

"It's a meeting ceremony." This time E0404's voice only rang in Su Qian's ear, "Maybe it's just what the manager needs."

Su Qian picked up the two books and was sure that one was the fairy tale book he wanted, and the other was a diary written by someone after flipping through a few pages.Although I don't know why E0404 gave him this diary, the most important thing now is to send Xiaoyu and Grandpa Xiaoyu to Hujing Jiayuan.

Before reaching Hujingjiayuan, they had to risk their way through the gray fog.

At the same time, the scene in the gray mist is likely to make Su Qian touch an unheard of world.

However, what is the price of taking E0404?
