Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

Chapter 124: Stars in the lake

Views:

The goods on the third shelf are really dazzling, but only two layers are placed, and the third shelf is full of small things, such as the wood that looks very vintage on the upper layer. Comb, small round vanity mirror, hairpin, potted plant, and a book, as well as a perfume bottle on the lower level, a ring in a velvet box, a necklace, a handkerchief, a small beckoning cat doll, a notebook And small ghosts like pens.

The three-star ghosts were placed on the upper floor, and the two-star ghosts were placed on the bottom. Su Zimo helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose and found that each piece was very practical.

Especially the two-star ghost weapon ring in the velvet box made Su Zimo's eyes shine.

[The Confusing Ring (2-star)]

[Price: 100 yuan]

[Description: This is a ring that will confuse humans, but will not confuse ghosts. ]

[Special ability: When the wearer of the ring wears the right tail finger, he will have the ability to transform his appearance into a humanoid in his memory. After seven days of use, he will be transformed into another person for a maximum of seven days. If you take off the ring, you can end the transformation in advance. ]

This is simply the ghost weapon that Su Zimo dreamed of! It was also the first time that Su Zimo saw a two-star ghost weapon worth 100 yuan.

The reason why this ring is still rated as "two-star" despite having such a special function is probably because this ghost weapon cannot have any effect on Specter.

"Ayuyuyu, can I use the ghost weapon in the warehouse?" The more Su Zimo thought about it, the more convenient it became. He has been acting as both a trainer and a shop owner by himself for a long time. It's like walking on the beach. These situations get wet shoes.

[The master can use all the existences in 'Safe in a Corner'. If you can help the master, you will be very happy. This is also the wish of the previous boss. ]

Who was the previous boss

When Su Zimo looked at the ghosts in front of him, he would inevitably have an idea that the former boss was too generous. If it is an accident to leave a ghost weapon in the warehouse, then the behavior of the former boss who created "Ayuyuyu" shows that the other party really wants to do something for the successor.

And... with so many ghosts, what was the reason for the former boss to disappear

Su Zimo remembered that Ayuyuyu clearly used the word "disappearance" when expressing the whereabouts of the former boss.

Thinking like this, Su Zimo walked to the fourth bookshelf, which was in front of the last one.

What surprised Su Zimo was that there were no ghosts on this shelf, but instead were filled with all kinds of brightly colored books. Su Zimo glanced casually and found that each book was a fairy tale book suitable for young children to enjoy, and the title of each book made Su Zimo feel familiar.

Su Zimo could even remember what stories these fairy tale books told when he saw the title of the book.

Su Zimo picked out a fairy tale book called "The Stars in the Lake". He was particularly impressed by this book. He told the story of a child who grew up in an orphanage living in a seriously polluted city. I have never seen stars in the night sky.

But one day, when the child looked down at the originally dirty lake, he found that the lake not only became exceptionally clear, but also reflected the beautiful night sky full of stars, as well as the reflections of the beautiful plants planted by the lake.

No matter the starry sky or the plants, it seems that they can only be seen through the reflection of the lake water. There are only severely polluted earth and various wastes around the child.

The child's innocent eyes saw this magical scene, but he didn't know why other people around couldn't see it at all, and didn't even understand what he was doing by the smelly pool.

So in this incomprehensible gaze, the child ran to the lake every day to look at the stars.

Then one day... The child saw another child in the reflection of the lake, and his name was Xingxing. Because sound cannot travel through the lake, the child begins to communicate with the stars using drawing boards and crayons.

Through the boy named Star, the child knew that the starry sky in the reflection of the lake seemed to belong to a completely different world, clean, tidy, orderly, and full of flowers and towering trees that they could see in the sky every night Glittering stars, very beautiful.

Because the story is a fairy tale, the whole plot is very simple, and even the ending just says that the protagonist in the fairy tale looks around the polluted world. Looking around this place is not only full of dirt, but even the order between people has been destroyed. The ruined world, finally welcomed by the stars in the reflection, jumped into the lake with a smile and went to the world of stars.

Although I don't remember when I saw this story when I was young, Su Zimo has a deep impression on this story. I remembered it when I was a child because I thought it was amazing, but when I grew up, I recalled that the story might not be as good as it was described in the text. Simple, children in fairy tales may go to the world in the reflection, or they may die.

What impressed Su Zimo deeply was a little thing that happened after he was sent to school by his grandfather.

At that time, the head teacher was preparing to shoot a drama in an art activity, and forced each student to provide a story with the potential to adapt the script. Even Su Zimo, who had always been separated from the class, was forced to provide ideas. He submitted the book at that time. book title. In order to prevent duplicate names, Su Zimo also briefly narrated the content of the story.

But in the end, Su Zimo's idea was not selected, which was also his expectation. After all, the only important characters in the whole story are the protagonist and the hero, and the reflection in the lake has a particularly high requirement for props, so it is very normal that he is not selected.

But what impressed Su Zimo at the time was that the reason why his suggestion was rejected was because the head teacher did not find any fairy tale books that matched Su Zimo's description.

The title of the book "Stars in the Lake" is very common, but through the school's perfect book search system, the head teacher did not find any matching works.

This made Su Zimo very strange at the time, so he searched for it for a long time afterwards, but also found nothing. Because he felt that there was no need to waste more manpower and material resources for such an ordinary fairy tale book, Su Zimo gradually gave up and forgot about it.

But he found this long-lost fairy tale book in the warehouse of this store, and the plot in the book has a very nostalgic familiarity to Su Zimo.

It's this book.

"Maybe it's out of print, right?" Su Zimo whispered while looking at the book in his hand, "At that time, I will try my best to find it, and I hope the head teacher at that time will not look at me with the kind of 'liar' look? But This kind of thing doesn't matter now, at least I'm right, there really is such a book."

Su Zimo looked at the publishing information behind the fairy tale book again, and found that the publisher of the book was called "Dawning Publishing House". He was slightly taken aback and returned to normal.

These two words, like the title of this book, are too common.

Su Zimo took the fairy tale book that he missed a little bit in his hand, then returned to the third shelf, and lightly touched the "confusing ring" with his hand, after not feeling the resistance of the ring. , Su Zimo picked up the small tail ring and put it on the little finger of his left hand. After all, this is a ghost weapon that works when worn on the right hand, so wearing it on the left hand before using it is considered a relatively safe method of "storage".

It was a very ordinary-looking silver ring without any decoration. A thin circle might make people guess whether it was a can ring.

Through the black and still slightly reflective floor after turning off the image, Su Zimo can be sure that there is no change in himself wearing the ring on his left hand.

"We may need to move these ghost tools to the first floor." Su Zimo said to the ghost umbrella behind him.

Compared to the full warehouses, the first floor of the hall, which was still empty, looked pitiful.

As the housekeeper of the shop, Ghost Umbrella recalled Peng Peng and Zhang Xiaoqing who were enjoying their new house as quickly as possible, and then after asking the ghosts for their approval, he took a large portion of the black umbrella in his hand, plus With the help of Pengpeng and Zhang Xiaoqing, the ghosts on the first three shelves were quickly moved downstairs.

As for the books on the fourth bookshelf, Su Zimo felt that it would be better to read one book at a time.

The three-star ghost tools have their own consciousness, and I don't know if they did it deliberately. Su Zimo could feel that the ghost tools left by the previous boss seemed to have been deleted before. They all have a gentle and harmless feeling, and even the humming of the dolls from time to time is more like a harmless prank.

In the end, a total of eleven ghost weapons in the shape of cold weapons were arranged by Su Zimo into the light-transmitting collection cabinets, which looked quite like a cultural relic museum.

Six beautiful and cute but quirky dolls were arranged in the six collection cabinets closest to the counter. Because when Su Zimo tried to put them in other places, the dolls always fell to the ground like this, as if to express resistance.

After choosing for a long time, the six dolls stayed peacefully in the collection cabinet with the most light.

For a while, I saw them all smiling at the counter, and then I saw them smiling at the door of the store, and they were all new in the blink of an eye.

The small items on the third shelf are arranged on the collection wall.

But even if all the ghost tools in the warehouse are taken out, if you take a closer look, you will still feel that the store is empty. At this moment, Su Zimo didn't think about his remaining lifespan anymore, he just felt an urge to fill the entire collection wall.

Seems like you have to work hard.

Su Zimo was in a rare mood. After calculating the time, he left a message to the rest of the family through Ye Ning, and then prepared to use the side door to go to the next nightmare world.

It's not that Su Zimo was unwilling to take the entire store to the Nightmare World, but what he did was prompted by Ah Yuyuyu that he couldn't find a suitable Nightmare World, so he could only go to the Nightmare World alone.

Before entering the nightmare world, Su Zimo put the ring on the little finger of his right hand, a certain "person" appeared in his mind, and the next second Su Zimo's figure was greatly reduced.

If you use the appearance of a living human, you may cause trouble for the other party in the future.

If he chooses the appearance of Specter, Su Zimo is most familiar with the three members of the store. It's just that Su Zimo has a strange feeling when he thinks of turning himself into a ghost umbrella. If it becomes Zhang Xiaoqing... Su Zimo physically refused.

In this way, Su Zimo has only one choice left.
