Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

Su Zimo is not a professional in feeding others medicine.

He tried to feed calcium tablets to the puppy he had raised at home before, but the puppy clenched his teeth and didn't relax at all, which immediately made Su Zimo at a loss.

But for Liu Xu, this didn't seem to be a troublesome thing. He just stretched out his hand and "clicked" the snake's jaw when it was roaring desperately. He took a bottle of drinking water from the supplies on the dining table, unscrewed the lid and poured it into the snake's mouth.

At first, the poisonous snake refused to swallow, allowing the water to overflow from its mouth.

But then, Liu Xu hit him hard on a certain part of the body, and the poisonous snake swallowed the water and sleeping pills in the next second.

After Liu Xu restored the poisonous snake's jaw, the poisonous snake originally wanted to spit out the sleeping pill before it took effect, but it didn't work after retching for a long time, so it could only look at Su Zimo and other trainees viciously. Said: "Don't think that customs clearance is so easy, you have wasted so much time on me, did you not find a ray of life in the end? Hahahaha, I will be very happy to meet you in the next nightmare world!"

"And you... I will find you." The poisonous snake stared at Su Zimo's direction with eyes flushed with anger, "and then brand the slave mark on your arm!"

"Well--"

Not long after the poisonous snake finished speaking, the whole person seemed to have drank several jars of high-strength wine, and he sat on the chair and swayed.After a while, the poisonous snake fell into a coma with its hands handcuffed behind its back and its head dropped.

"He took sleeping pills? Will he wake up soon?" Bai Man seemed a little worried about the efficacy of the medicine.

But Su Zimo knew that it was not an ordinary sleeping pill at all. As the owner of the ghost weapon, the poisonous snake should also know that the sleeping pill would make him sleep for a long time, and even stop the attack of ghosts!

"No matter what, we still need to find clues about the lifeline as soon as possible." Su Zimo said, and then looked at the other practitioners around, "Let's think about it together, except for the story between the patient and the servant. , I still have some clues that were accidentally ignored? Anything is fine."

When Su Zimo and Du Xin looked at each other, the big boy who was always looking at him eagerly, quickly avoided his gaze.

Perhaps it was because when the poisonous snake suggested the slave mark to him before, he really hesitated for a while. The distance between him and Su Zimo may have become more distant than before, and it is more difficult to close.

"Actually, when I just entered this nightmare world, I mentioned one thing. I don't know if it will be useful for this mission." The lunatic over there suddenly raised his hand to signal.

"What is it?" Su Zimo thought for a while, but found that he had no memory of it, which meant that even he didn't care when the lunatic mentioned it.

"Remember that piece of cloth that covered the mirror?" The lunatic looked at the very tightly covered mirror over there, and then said, "That was originally the tablecloth that was spread on the dining table, and when we first came to the hall, There are still many dinner plates, tableware and even candlesticks on the table, and the dinner plates on the edge have not been touched, and many of the dinner plates in the middle of the table are filled with food that has already rotted."

"It seems so, but because the poisonous snake quickly cleaned up everything on the table, I almost forgot about it now." Dr. Jin also recalled.

And Bai Man, who was standing beside Dr. Jin, changed from the concise and neat appearance when he first came to this world. Instead, he stared worriedly at the sleeping poisonous snake, as if worried that he would wake up again in the next second and sneak away. It's like breaking free from the ordinary handcuffs.

"At that time, I said that judging from the arrangement of the table, it seemed that a banquet was being prepared in the hall." The lunatic said and shook his head, "But then we learned more and more information, I I also feel that this group of housekeepers and servants will not specially prepare a banquet for the elderly on the second floor, even if there is a banquet, it is just a group of bastards for their own entertainment, so they don't care too much."

"But you said that any clues are needed, so..."

"Banquet." Su Zimo repeated the word, and then said thoughtfully, "Actually, when I was experiencing this nightmare world, I always felt that it was like a well-designed game. What we saw in the next person's room, and the things placed in the various rooms on the third floor have become clues for us to understand what happened. If we think so... the banquet in the hall may not be useless Entertain yourself."

"Assuming this is a banquet for the elderly, then they have completely imprisoned the elderly, why should they be so kind as to prepare a banquet?" Su Zimo couldn't help thinking.

"You mean...we are looking for clues through an unreliable speculation?" Dr. Jin had a disagreement at the moment, "Su Zimo, the housekeeper of this villa cheated the old man out of millions of dollars." It may mean tens of millions or even more at the time, and it is not surprising that these bastards who have tasted the sweetness have hundreds of banquets to revel."

"No." The lunatic shook his head, "Although the dining table was full of plates at that time, there were only four sets of tableware on the edge for eating, one for the main table, two sets for one side, and one set for the other side. They are preparing a banquet for four people, but the food on the table is too rich for twenty people to finish, so I am sure it is a banquet."

"A banquet attended by four people? There are a total of ten housekeepers and the family doctor..."

"The villa owner's family of three plus the old man makes a total of four people." Before Dr. Jin finished speaking, Su Zimo thought quickly, "This must be a very important banquet, so important that you don't step into this villa on weekdays." The family of three must also attend. Because of this, even if the housekeeper and his gang have huge sums of money, they must pretend to be ordinary servants in front of the family of three in order not to become criminals, and prepare for this banquet carefully. Even let the old man... also attend this banquet?"

"But aren't they worried that the old man will tell everything? Even if the blockade on the second floor is removed on the day of the banquet, won't the old man take this opportunity to tell everything?" Su Zimo said, and then Found the problem.

All the problems seem to be concentrated on the old man, and there is always a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

After pondering for a while without any results, Su Zimo simply put this question aside, and began to fall into another thought: "What kind of banquet is so important? If it's a family banquet, it should be related to some festivals or special dates. ? Date...I seem to have seen a special date somewhere..."

"The butler's ledger? No, that day is wrong..."

Even with a computer, it takes time to organize some data.

So Su Zimo, who didn't find the key key for a while, looked up and asked other trainees: "I think this banquet should be related to a special day, such as a festival, have you found any calendars in other rooms before?" thing?"

"There is one in the butler's room." Mr. Fang Qin said, walking straight and vigorously, and found a dirty wall calendar from the butler's room after a while, "Four pages of the calendar were torn off, and this A circle is drawn on the calendar for the month of May."

"It's May [-]th." Su Zimo's tone was very certain.

"That's right." Mr. Fang Qin was surprised, "It's indeed the [-]th."

All eyes immediately focused on Su Zimo.

"After all, I was the one who was reading the postscript before, and you may not have noticed this little thing." Su Zimo looked at the number "15" outlined in thick ink on the wall calendar, and suddenly felt a little tired, "May [-]th It's the birthday of that old man's granddaughter Bai Pingting."

"I should have thought of it a long time ago!"

Su Zimo patted his forehead, then took off the backpack he was carrying, and took out the two items he found in the cabinet of the master bedroom on the third floor when he first came to this world.

[Nightmare brand lotus root pink dress (no star rating)]

[Description: Put it on and you are my little princess. ]

[Nightmare brand teddy bear (no star rating]

[Description: It's still best not to leave kids and toys alone in the room at night... Just kidding. ]

"I found this in the master bedroom before. When I found them, they were all in tattered boxes with tattered belts tied on the outside. Now I think they are gift boxes and ribbons used to hold birthday presents." Su When Zimo hugged the big teddy bear, there was an inexplicable sense of harmony in the eyes of outsiders, "The banquet that is being prepared in this hall should be the birthday banquet of the old man's granddaughter. The whole family has agreed to hold it in this villa. Birthday."

"I really admire that you can hide such a big thing in your bag." Qi Xiaomin couldn't help but hide his face.

"It's not just a birthday party." The lunatic said suddenly, "It's still an unfinished birthday party. After all, the tableware has not been touched at all, which means that this party has ended before it even started! We are not only in a An abandoned villa, or an unfinished birthday party!"

[boom! ]

As soon as the lunatic finished speaking, there was another loud noise from the second floor above the hall, and then another familiar cold wind blew, all the candles in the hall were blown instantly, and the whole hall suddenly darkened just like before.

Su Zimo looked around immediately, and found that he could only vaguely see the shadows of everyone around him in the dark, and these shadows looked a little different from each practitioner.For example, after Mr. Fang Qin handed over the calendar to Su Zimo just now, he has been standing by Su Zimo's side all the time, but when Su Zimo turned his head to look, he didn't see the thin old man. Tall and very fat figure!

It is different from all the experiencers Su Zimo knows.

[Ah... ummm... ah——]

Another series of voices with unknown meaning sounded in the direction of the stairs. Su Zimo and the others followed the sound and saw a figure sitting in a wheelchair at the stairs.

[boom!boom!boom! ]

The figure eagerly patted the armrest of the wheelchair, making the bang bang sound that Su Zimo had heard before, while making an indistinct sound continuously, making people confused what he wanted to say.

A few seconds later, when the cold wind disappeared from the hall, the candles that had been blown out were re-ignited, even burning higher and brighter, illuminating the entire hall like daylight again, and even making people feel a little dazzling.

"It seems that your argument has been adopted, madman." Dr. Jin raised the corner of his eyes, and glanced at the madman standing beside him, "If you don't hurry up and 'suicide', we may pass the level soon."

"Actually, that's not bad." The lunatic scratched his head helplessly, and the corners of his eyes that were always drooping did not know when he started to regain his energy, "If you count the times carefully, if you can pass the level this time, then next time I might be able to participate in the No. 20 nightmare world with the hero Liu Xu next to me, after all, there are not many people who have the courage to challenge, and it is quite easy to meet."

"You said before that you didn't remember the number of times." Liu Xu "poked" at the side.

"I'm lying." The lunatic shrugged, "How could I not remember the countdown to my death?"

Viper is now No. 19, while Madman and Liu Xu seem to be No. 18... Su Zimo looked at the practitioners around him, and did not expect so many critical people to appear in this world at once.

Critical person, Su Zimo quite likes this title.

"In short, judging from the situation just now, the lunatic's speculation has been officially confirmed. There is an unfinished birthday party in this villa." Su Zimo brought the topic back, "Since it is unfinished, then Some people or ghosts may hope that this banquet will continue, although I don’t know why the old man has been unwilling to talk properly. Whether it is about the housekeeper or the banquet, in fact, as long as the old man can open his mouth, nothing will happen. It's going to be such a hassle."

"Maybe it's because he couldn't speak at all." Dr. Jin on the side suddenly stomped his feet in frustration, "I seem to guess what happened to the old gentleman on the second floor, and I also understand why those servants have nothing to say. He blocked him on the second floor scrupulously, and didn't even worry about the old man revealing their secrets to the outside world."

"what?"

"From the beginning until now, we have always been randomly divided into different rooms, and only when we are wearing obvious uniforms will we be assigned to the corresponding room. This may not be just a prank, but because the person who did it... ...or the ghosts confuse the location and the relationship between the characters, and the ability to judge and even understand and arrange things has declined." Dr. Jin became serious in an instant, "Simply speaking, the elderly who suffer from this disease often put Stuff was in the wrong place."

"There are also ghosts who keep making those vague and indistinguishable voices, maybe not because they want to scare us, but because they have lost most of their language skills." Dr. Jin took a deep breath, "Even the ghosts have caused us harm. attacks, which correspond to the mood swings and irritability that characterizes the onset of the disorder."

"Thinking about it this way... This serious illness may also be the reason why the old man's children and granddaughter resolutely left this villa. In their view, the sick old man may be a burden." Doctor Jin said, pinching his hands angrily. The lunatic next to him gave him an arm.
