Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

Su Zimo speeded up the stairs. When he and other trainees caught up with Du Lei who was walking in front, he saw a red door appearing there, and the stairs that had been going up had already gone up now. It's the end.

They have reached the top, and the upward path is the right one.

[bang—bang—]

Very light bangs began to ring around the ears of Su Zimo and other trainees. He looked at the dark red door directly in front of him, feeling like he was in Zhang Xiaoqing's heart, and this door also It's beating like a heart.

The red door had no handle, so Su Zimo could only reach out and push the door.

The door feels a little familiar, and it can make Su Zimo feel the beating of the heart, as if the building is alive from the beginning to the end.

This seems a bit ironic to Su Zimo.

Zhang Xiaoqing has jumped down from the top of the building, and the building built after her death contains all kinds of influences left in this world after her short career of more than ten years ended suddenly.

The cold body lying in the room, and the cold discussion of strangers.

The prankster who starts to panic because of her affairs.

Students who have studied in the same classroom for so long, but are not sad at all, and use the whole thing as a topic of conversation.

Heartbroken parents still bowing down to pranksters to apologize.

The faceless images of the pranksters and those classmates seem to be Zhang Xiaoqing shouting to the world——

I have lived too!

But now, Su Zimo feels that as long as they open the door in front of them, they will walk into the deepest part of Zhang Xiaoqing's heart. It may be sad, or it may be terrifying... After all, Zhang Xiaoqing is different from the old ghost who has successfully revenged in the nightmare world. , the three pranksters she resented are still living well.

Just like the apartment at the beginning of the nightmare world, Hua Xiaowan, Wen Xiaoyu and Lin Zhe in the real world may have deliberately forgotten the things in high school, put aside the word "Zhang Xiaoqing" and kept moving forward.

Only Zhang Xiaoqing was left alone, unable to leave because she was full of resentment and stuck in place.

How could such a ghost not be strong? !

Su Zimo put the ghost umbrella back into his backpack, and held the metal pen in his hands again. What they were going to face next was the real ghosts, not those fabricated by Zhang Xiaoqing, so the metal pen was naturally easier to use.

As for the ghost umbrella that needs to be possessed, Su Zimo pinched the muscles that were still sore, and felt that the ghost umbrella entered quickly anyway, so he might as well wait until the most critical moment to use it.

The door was not locked at all, and Su Zimo opened it lightly without using any force at all, as if an imperceptible wind had blown the door open.

What then appeared in front of Su Zimo and the others was a very ordinary-looking school rooftop.

That's right, it's not the rooftop of the apartment, but the rooftop of the school, but because everyone is used to the sense of chaos in the apartment, no one is surprised by it, and even relieved to leave the red corridor.

The sky above the rooftop is still a night of rolling clouds, and the moon hanging high in the sky has turned into a bright red full moon, which seems to indicate that this is the last stop of the nightmare world.

The wind on the roof was so strong that even Su Zimo and the others who hadn't walked over could feel the wind blowing from the door, which was different from the biting cold in summer.

Such a rooftop, if one ignores the full moon above the sky, it actually looks a bit ordinary.

Seeing the established fate of the trainees outside the door, Su Zimo played with the metal pen in his hand, and then walked in without hesitation.The wind from the roof was blowing on Su Zimo who was wearing thin clothes, making it a bit too cold, but there was another figure in a thin white dress standing on the edge of the roof right now.

The wind on the roof was very strong, and the loose white dress was blown violently by the wind, and the loose long hair was flying in the air.

Perhaps hearing the movement behind him, Li Gui standing by the rooftop turned around, with two tears of blood still flowing on his face, and the red traces were left on the long white dress. The way I've seen it.

[You are here. ]

Li Gui's head was instantly crooked, and he said to Su Zimo and the others with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have been waiting for you to come to me, even if it is to say sorry in front of the cold stone tomb, but I have never waited." ]

"We are not the ones you want to wait for, I am not Lin Zhe, and they are not Hua Xiaowan and Wen Xiaoyu." Hearing Zhang Xiaoqing's words, Su Zimo knew that she hadn't recovered from the illusion of her role, Still thought they were the three pranksters.

[Is there any difference? ] Li Gui still smiled, [What's the difference between you and them? Haven't you hurt those who look forward to you? ]

Su Zimo was stunned when he heard Li Gui's rhetorical question, and then said: "I don't know if such a person exists, but if I knew, at least I would reject it completely and not give people false hopes."

"I don't have any similarities with that school belle, okay?!" Xu Yingying had long been dissatisfied with this, and now she stood a little angrily and said, "I'm just an ordinary student who likes to act. , I will reject and stay away from people I don’t like, although some people always say that I have a bad personality, but as long as I can show a good side in front of the camera, that’s enough.”

"I'm just not used to meeting people. It's not that I'm cowardly, and I'm not a school belle's follower." Zhu Zhu, who was wearing glasses, was still holding on to the white cloth, and although her voice was still so soft, there were flushed cheeks and The slightly flustered gestures showed her anxiety, "I'm a screenwriter, and I usually like to write some things, and I also like to write down things in articles that I dare not say."

"I...I..." Zhu Zhu seemed to be hesitating for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he raised his voice and shouted to the ghost on the edge of the roof, "I want to write your story down, into an article, into a script , and even want to let more and more people know this story, so that the three people who played a prank on you will know that their secret is no longer a secret! Can you?!"

[…] Zhang Xiaoqing on the edge of the roof still tilted her head and looked at Zhu Zhu and the others. It took a long time to straighten her head, then turned her back again, [Whoever you want. ]

"So I was ignored?" Du Lei, who was guarding the two female trainees, looked at the people around him helplessly, with an inexplicably pitiful expression on his face.

"Zhang Xiaoqing, is the way out of this world here?" Su Zimo felt that Zhang Xiaoqing could communicate.

[There is only one way here. ] Zhang Xiaoqing took a few steps to the side, and gave up the position in the middle of the rooftop, [I walked past it once, and it felt very uncomfortable. ]

"But by jumping from here, we can pass the level and leave this nightmare world, right?!" Du Lei seemed a little anxious, and even took a few steps forward eagerly.

But what Du Lei didn't expect was that Zhang Xiaoqing, who was shedding tears of blood, grinned and said with a strange smile: "Who knows?"I only jumped once and it died. ]

Su Zimo and Du Lei tried to walk to the edge of the roof against the wind, and tried to look down.

Perhaps it was Zhang Xiaoqing's deliberate effort, but the height of the roof is not five or six floors of ordinary school buildings, but a ten-story building that makes people shudder when they look down!

Even Du Lei, who thought he was brave, couldn't help but took a few steps back to ensure that he was within a safe range.

"If you take a few steps back, I will look down on you." Xu Yingying and Zhu Zhu also walked up, "We have tried other ways besides this one, haven't we?"

"There are more than a dozen floors here. If we lose the bet, we will fall to pieces on the ground." Du Lei took a deep breath as if he was doing self-construction, "Don't think that you can die with peace of mind if you have nightmare points, I once heard that someone begged to die in the nightmare world for some reason, but because the death was so tragic, even if he used the nightmare point to revive, he still suffered mental damage, and the whole person became abnormal!"

"There are very few ways to die. It's worse than jumping from a ten-storey building." Du Lei still sighed.

"Then go down the stairs!" Xu Yingying gritted her teeth, "I don't even have enough nightmare points for ten, but I'm hurrying back to get a beauty sleep!"

Saying that, Xu Yingying took Zhu Zhu to the edge of the roof, and then was blown by the strong wind, and took several steps back.

Several people didn't know what to think, but they all looked at Su Zimo for help, as if hoping that Mr. "A Yu" could do something, although they didn't know what to do.

Su Zimo stood motionless on the edge of the rooftop.

No way, Su Zimo is not a trainer.

If jumping from the rooftop is the way out of the nightmare world, then maybe the trainees just disappeared halfway through the jump and gradually turned translucent like before, returning to the real world.

And if Su Zimo jumped off the rooftop, it might be... "Pa-ta".

So after the other trainees leave, he can leave directly through the "door".

[What's wrong?Can't make a decision? ] Zhang Xiaoqing suddenly made a sound, diverting the attention of the trainees from Su Zimo, [The panicked appearance really looks like the three people who are eager to shirk responsibility after an accident. ]

The face is obviously ordinary, but under the reflection of blood and tears and the red moonlight, it has a cold face.

Seeing the three people whose faces changed instantly, Su Zimo couldn't help giving Zhang Xiaoqing a thumbs-up in his heart. He only felt that this aggressive move was beautifully used, and he also said what he wanted to say but couldn't say.

"Don't confuse us with people who are worse than ghosts." Xu Yingying and Zhu Zhu glanced at each other, then walked to the edge of the roof holding hands again, and said with a wry smile, "Piggy, it seems that our relationship is not good enough to jump down together the point."

"If you dare to jump from here with me, we will be best friends." Zhu Zhu also took a deep breath and said.

"It makes sense."

"Add me." Du Lei who was next to him also walked to the edge of the rooftop, his face was a little blushing, "I won't hold hands anymore, but you have to tell me a communication number, we have lived and died together."

"Du Lei, don't you also want to chase me? I'm currently single." Xu Yingying did as she said before, she refused completely.

"Tch, don't worry, you're not the prettiest person I've ever met." Du Lei's eyes dodged for a moment, "When I see a lot, I become picky. I just want to show off to my buddies in the dormitory. Just a moment."

"That's no problem." Xu Yingying readily agreed, and also reported her communication number.

but……

Just when the three of them relaxed their bodies and were about to jump, they suddenly found that the wind on the side of the roof was getting stronger and stronger, blowing them back again and again, and they couldn't get close to the edge of the roof at all!

"Ah!" When Zhu Zhu turned around, she found that the cold hand of the ghost Zhang Xiaoqing had grabbed her arm, which made the editor tremble in fright, and even the white cloth that he had been holding in his hand fell off. On the ground of the roof.

[Are you fools? ] Li Gui Zhang Xiaoqing's eyes looked a little scary, [Jump down and die! ]

"what?"

The three trainees who always thought that the way out was under the roof were completely stunned.

[Enough, I admit that you are different from them. ] Zhang Xiaoqing lowered her head and let her hair cover her eyes, [But remember one thing, no matter when you jump from this kind of jump, you will die!At that moment, there will be no miracles, no supernatural events, no superman falling from the sky, no hope, and stop doing stupid things in the future. ]

Hearing Zhang Xiaoqing's words, Su Zimo suddenly realized that he didn't need to jump off the roof to pass through this nightmare world.

It seems that as long as the ghosts of this world see such determination, it is enough.

"Why?" Su Zimo felt a little strange, "From the very beginning, the various designs of this building and what you said told us that the only way out of this building is the rooftop, if we don't jump from here, They're still unable to leave the building."

[This is enough. ] Zhang Xiaoqing said something again, and then looked up at Su Zimo, [I have jumped once, so I will never ask others to jump from here.This building is a product of my consciousness, so I can let them leave this building at any time. ]

Almost as soon as Zhang Xiaoqing finished speaking, the figures of the three practitioners disappeared from the rooftop!

It's not the kind of gradual transparency after customs clearance, but it just disappears.Su Zimo felt that the three trainees might have been directly removed from this building, and then they could pass the level.

but……

"Why do you want me to stay?" Su Zimo half-closed his eyes, "Did you notice something?"

Su Zimo couldn't help wondering whether Zhang Xiaoqing knew that he was not a trainee.

But in the face of Su Zimo's question, Zhang Xiaoqing just tilted her head and showed a thoughtful expression, then appeared in front of Su Zimo in an instant, and said with a smile: "I just think that it would be great if the person I liked at the beginning was you. Nothing as bad as that will happen. ]

"Thank you, but I have to go."

Su Zimo thought so, and stretched his hand back, trying to grab the doorknob behind him.

But just when Su Zimo was about to hold the doorknob...

The entire roof suddenly tilted at [-] degrees, Su Zimo's unprepared body fell directly to the ground, and instantly slid all the way to the edge of the roof. Only the ghost Zhang Xiaoqing was able to stand vertically on the roof and smiled at Su Zimo from a strange angle with.

Laughing and laughing, Li Gui Zhang Xiaoqing started crying again.

[Sorry, I just can't find a way out. ]

"This is the world you created, and you should know where the way out is." Su Zimo picked up the metal pen that had accidentally dropped, stuffed it back into his backpack, then pulled out the black umbrella, and stuck it between him and the edge of the roof.

He was about to try to open the door behind him again, but the roof tilted to the other side in an instant, and he also hit the edge of the other side of the roof, causing a burst of pain.

That feeling was as if Su Zimo would tilt the entire rooftop with just one move of his hand.

[Not the way out of this building. ] Zhang Xiaoqing cried and shook her head, [I just think that the three of them are still happily walking their own way, but I can only stay in this world alone, I feel very painful, I think I am going crazy, Can you stay with me!You are so smart, you must know what I should do. ]

Su Zimo tried several times to leave, but couldn't find the correct "door" because of the tilt of the roof, and no matter where he slipped, Zhang Xiaoqing's ghost would appear in front of him instantly.

[Why don't you let me possess you? ] The voice of the ghost umbrella has also rang in Su Zimo's ears for a long time, [There are no other humans here, so this guy can be eaten. ]

"You can do it when I say yes." Su Zimo just said softly, no longer trying to open the door behind him, but leaning on the edge, carefully moved to Zhang Xiaoqing's position, and tried to go Hold Zhang Xiaoqing.

But according to Su Zimo's understanding of ghosts like Peng Peng, they can turn into entities that can be touched by people, and they can also maintain phantoms that cannot be touched by people. This is why it is difficult for ordinary weapons and fists to harm them. .

When Su Zimo tried to pull Zhang Xiaoqing, his fingers slid across a phantom.

Zhang Xiaoqing just stood there, quietly watching Su Zimo's movements.

At this time, Su Zimo suddenly saw a white strip of cloth on the ground, which was the two-star ghost weapon that Zhu Zhu dropped on the ground when he was flustered.Because it is a ghost weapon, it can touch ghosts... With this understanding, Su Zimo put the ghost umbrella back into his backpack, then picked up the ghost weapon "The Eye of the Blind" from the ground, and quickly entangled Zhang Xiaoqing and himself Wrist, hold the knot in the palm of your hand.

Before Zhang Xiaoqing could recover, Su Zimo fell backwards along the sloping roof.

[What are you doing! ] A ghost like Zhang Xiaoqing actually showed panic at this moment and lost his position.

So far, Zhang Xiaoqing is still afraid of this feeling of falling downwards.

"If you stay here, you will never find a way out." Su Zimo looked at Zhang Xiaoqing's surprised and terrified eyes and smiled, "I don't know what kind of mood you were in when you jumped from here last time, but you can Tell you, I am leading you out of this prison right now!"

"I'll take you away to find Hua Xiaowan, Wen Xiaoyu, and Lin Zhe!"

Su Zimo's center of gravity has already left the roof, and he will not miss again because of the tilt of the roof, and he can't wait for Zhang Xiaoqing to agree or refuse.

So when Su Zimo looked up at the turbulent sky and slowly fell down, before his toes left the edge of the roof, his other hand had already stretched behind him, holding the handle of the "door" firmly, Push it away with a tug!

The door was always behind Su Zimo.

Even this moment when he fell backwards!

Just like that, he brought Zhang Xiaoqing, the ghost of the nightmare world, to the door of "An Yu Yi Yu", and fell in!

"Oh!"

Perhaps because of the special way of entering "An Yu Yi Yu", Su Zimo, who was holding on to Zhang Xiaoqing, fell into the brightly lit "An Yu Yi Yu" with a huge dive force, and finally crashed all the way to the side door closest to the side door. On the No. shelf, it hurts a lot!

"hiss--"

Su Zimo tried his best to hold back the pain in his back, and turned to look at Li Gui who was tightly wrapped by the white cloth strips, only to find that the Li Gui on the other side of the white cloth strips had completely disappeared, leaving only a white mobile phone covered by the white cloth strips. Around tightly, there was a long string of notes displayed on the phone, but for the first time, Su Zimo lost the thought of shorthand, closed his eyes and leaned against the shelf, and heaved a sigh of relief.

He left the nightmare world and took the ghosts of the nightmare world with him.

It's not that he particularly wants to do anything extra, it's just that as an ordinary person, it seems that he doesn't want Zhang Xiaoqing to continue wandering in that resentful and hopeless world until he goes crazy.

What's more, for the shopkeeper who is "settled in a corner", this must be an extremely precious collection.

If it is really eaten by the ghost umbrella, it will be gone.

"Jingle Bell--"

Before Su Zimo came back to his senses, he suddenly heard a mobile phone ringing again. He consciously looked at the mobile phone belonging to Zhang Xiaoqing, and then realized that the ringing mobile phone should be his own.

He put down the backpack that he had helped cushion a little bit behind him just now, and took out the cell phone he hadn't used much in it, and then saw an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.

"Hello?" Because there was no notification of harassment messages, Su Zimo still connected the phone.

"It's connected! It's connected! It's really connected!" A somewhat excited female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Oh my God, are you Su Zimo? You really didn't change your phone number?"

"Excuse me, are you..." Su Zimo looked blank.

"I'm Wan Yu!" The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to confirm that Su Zimo remembered her.

But to be honest, Su Zimo has experienced many nightmare worlds during this period of time. Every time he enters the nightmare world, he must meet many people and remember the names of many people. These names are entangled like threads. Even Su Zimo The ink needs to be sorted out for a while.

"Sorry, are you..." Su Zimo was really bad at remembering names.

"...Your classmate in the third year of high school! Your class monitor..." The voice on the other end of the phone broke down slightly.

"Sorry, what's the matter?" Su Zimo vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a person, and all the activities in the class seemed to be planned by this class leader.

"Are you in Shoushan City now? We have a class reunion tomorrow... I just wanted to call you to try... I didn't expect your phone number to be the one on the school list... We..."

Su Zimo listened dazedly to the voice on the other end of the phone. He vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned the class reunion.
