Chapter 25: Don't get lost

Views:

"I'm willing! No matter what the price is, I'm willing!" Looking at the umbrella that Su Zimo was holding in his hands, Wu Qing hurriedly shouted, as if trying to save something.

But in the next second, Wu Qing saw a black figure standing next to Su Zimo holding an umbrella, and the black umbrella was raised slightly, so that he could see the face under the black umbrella.

"Ah!"

Wu Qing, who originally had desire and expectation on his face, suddenly climbed several steps to the side as if taken aback. He turned his head sideways and dared not look at the face of Mr. Black Umbrella again.

"What did you do?" Seeing Wu Qing's appearance, Su Zimo didn't turn around to look for Mr. Black Umbrella, who had transformed into a human figure, but out of the corner of his eyes he had already seen the black figure and The black umbrella.

[What have you done? ] The black umbrella in his hand is crooked, [Does it count as a grimace? ]

"..." Su Zimo always felt that this was a not very serious umbrella.

"You stay here. When the time is up, the mission will be over." Su Zimo put away the metal pen, put away the umbrella opened by Wu Qing, and held it in his hand again, feeling the special umbrella. cold.

After instructing Wu Qing, Su Zimo turned around and prepared to walk in the other direction of the platform. Wu Qing was a human after all, and Su Zimo couldn't go where he wanted to go when he was staring at him.

"Do you really look down on me?" Wu Qing just sat on the ground, clenched his teeth and beat the ground of the station with his fists, raised his head and looked at Su Zimo with a dissatisfied face, "Do you think I'm despicable? The thief? Do even avatars like you in the game make fun of me?!"

"I didn't laugh." Su Zimo turned around and looked at Wu Qing. There was no expression on his face, but a little seriousness. "There is nothing funny about trying to survive."

Su Zimo did his best to find goods and entered the nightmare world, wasn't it also for the unwilling remaining lifespan

In fact, Su Zimo was very weak from the beginning, even a patient who could not even coordinate his limbs, but he still rushed into the nightmare world, even if there is no door behind him, even if there is no newly discovered metal pen, even if there is no black The umbrella... As long as there is still hope for survival, Su Zimo may continue to run.

It is human instinct to live.

"So, what I did was not wrong? In fact, everyone will do anything to survive, right?" Wu Qing asked again, as if asking Su Zimo, but also hypnotizing himself.

"Everyone has the freedom to do everything, just don't try to control what others think of you." Su Zimo didn't know Wu Qing, and he only knew a small part of what Gan Yuan said. That's it, so I don't want to discuss with Wu Qing his values and outlook on life.

For Su Zimo, no matter what Wu Qing does is his freedom, but everything he does will also affect other people's views of him, which is also the freedom of others.

If Su Zimo knew that Wu Qing cared about Gan Yuan and the others, and hated Gan Yuan and the others, but at the same time he kept squandering the Gan family's money, connections, and resources, he might feel even more emotional.

After all, Wu Qing didn't know a man named Su Hewen, let alone how hard it was that the man named Su Hewen rebounded from the bottom and became a respected and feared existence in the Su family.

It is precisely because Su Zimo doesn't know Wu Qing that all he can say is some specious chicken soup.

"You are lucky because you survived." Su Zimo looked at Wu Qing who was sitting on the ground and showed a very shallow smile, "From the next time, you will be a senior."

After finishing speaking, Su Zimo didn't waste any more time and walked straight to the other part of the station, leaving Wu Qing to sit there in a daze, blankly muttering: "What the hell are you?"

"That umbrella... it was supposed to be mine..." Wu Qing suddenly lowered his head, clutching the ground with his fingers, unable to see the change in his expression.

As he walked all the way, Su Zimo didn't forget to check around, thinking that he would at least bring back some souvenirs that could sell a piece or two. Perhaps it was because of his concentration that Su Zimo, who had been silent, ignored Mr. Black Umbrella, who had been following him in the form of a human figure.

[What are you looking for? ] The eccentric Mr. Black Umbrella is obviously not a person who likes silence, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to help remind him in Su Zimo's dream when he was stolen.

[Are you looking for… goods? ] Before Su Zimo could open his mouth, the black umbrella came close to his face, [I saw it when the human brought me here just now, this nightmare world is very poor, except for the subway train. valuable things. ]

Why does the black umbrella know about the goods

Su Zimo stopped in a daze, turned around for the first time and tried to see the front of Mr. Black Umbrella.

After Su Zimo turned his head, he found that the figure standing directly opposite him was dressed in black and white. He looked equally tall and thin, but half a head taller than him, which made the black umbrella cover his face even with the umbrella. , and also allows Su Zimo to see the extremely pale complexion of the exposed half of his face, as well as the darker lip color.

"What do you know?" Su Zimo tightened his eyebrows and looked at the black umbrella in front of him.

[I don't know what's going on, I always feel a little headache. ] The black umbrella turned sideways, as if he was trying to break the topic, [Maybe it's because you always knock your umbrella on the ground, kid, and the tip of the umbrella is like the head of this umbrella, so you have to be careful. ]

"The tip of the umbrella is your head?" Su Zimo's eyes twitched slightly, "Can this umbrella still correspond to your body?"

[Yes, there are also umbrella tops, umbrella ribs, umbrella handle... umbrella handle...] The black umbrella suddenly came over.

"..." Su Zimo was silent for a few seconds, and didn't know what to think, so he wanted to throw away the black umbrella in his hand.

[What are you thinking about? Just kidding. ] The black umbrella instantly appeared behind Su Zimo, stretched out his hand and tightly grasped his right hand holding the umbrella, [Children, this umbrella promised a person to fulfill one of your wishes. ]

Hands are cold, very cold.

The body that was close to Su Zimo was also very cold, very cold.

[I can make you rich enough to rival the country. ] Hei Umbrella's voice is cold and ethereal, with full of bewitchment.

"Although the wealth of the Su family is not rich enough to rival a country, it should be enough in this life." Su Zimo shook his head, feeling that the temptation of money was too little for him.

[I can give you a very powerful weapon. ] The black umbrella continued to bewitched.

"Can it be sold?" Su Zimo was rather interested, hoping that the weapons changed by the black umbrella could be sold at sky-high prices, so that he would not have to be so nervous about "being in a corner".

[… I'm afraid not. ] Hei Umbrella was silent for a few seconds, and then continued to ask, [Is there no shortage of things around the children? ]

Su Zimo thought for a while, but still broke free from the body that was nearly clinging to the other side, and turned around thoughtfully and said, "If I really want to say what I am missing, I am missing a housekeeper."

When he was dealing with matters behind his grandfather in the Su family before, Su Zimo felt more and more that the white housekeeper of the Su family was very unreliable. Not only was he unable to calm down in the face of major events, but he also turned a blind eye to the lazy behavior of his servants, and even chatted with them about the gossip of the Su family.

So Su Zimo finally demoted Butler Bai, allowing him to help with some gardener work before the contract expires.

It can also be regarded as a shock to other lax servants.

Yes, Su Zimo now lacks a trusted and handy housekeeper.

Although Su Hewen said that he would personally select the most competent housekeeper and would be responsible for checking the problem, Su Zimo had his own ideas.

The unruly black umbrella looks incompetent, but it may provide unexpected help when the new head of the Su family is in a precarious position.

[Um? ] The figure under the black umbrella was completely stunned, [Butler? ]

[What kind of weapon is that? ]

Su Zimo secretly calculated the account of his wish. After he felt that he would make a profit, he turned to Hei Umbrella with a smile and said, "Mr. Hei Umbrella, can my wish come true?"

In fact, Su Zimo also needs powerful weapons. After all, powerful weapons can make him go more smoothly in the nightmare world. But the reason why he didn't agree to the black umbrella before was because he felt it was safer to leave the black umbrella behind than an unknown weapon.

"I'll tell you about the housekeeper after I leave this world, but before that..." Su Zimo looked up at the black umbrella that was half a head taller than himself. The thin mirror chain ran across his neck, and the thin metal frame would The skin was white against the background, "Can you tell me everything you know about the product?"

[I've heard people talk about ways to find high-value items. ] The black umbrella slightly raised the umbrella it was holding, [it's really much better than you looking around for those worthless things. ]

[The station at the moment has nothing but some kiddos. If you want goods, you have to go to other stations to see. ] The black umbrella disappeared from Su Zimo's side as soon as he finished speaking, and instead appeared a few meters in front of him.

other station

Su Zimo remembered the other trainees who were still on the subway just now.

The black umbrella stood motionless for a moment with its back to Su Zimo, and then said quietly—

[Keep up, don't lose it. ]

That small tone of resentment, obviously still holding revenge for Su Zimo's loss of him just now.

"Mr. Umbrella, what should I call your name?"

Su Zimo followed the black umbrella all the way to the edge of the platform. Between the platform and the dangerous railway tracks, there was a narrow road that could only be walked by one person. It was covered with a layer of iron and looked a little fragile.

It's just that when the black umbrella walked all the way forward, the iron road underfoot did not make any sound, as if the person walking on it had no weight at all.

[I don't have a name. ] Hei Umbrella snorted, [Only an unreasonable umbrella will allow himself to be named by others. ]

"You can give yourself a name, at least you can call it convenient." Su Zimo found that the umbrella in front of him became more and more serious.

[I don't have a name, but the 'people' I know will always shout, 'Run, that damn umbrella is here again' when they see me, so children can also call me the ghost umbrella. ] Hei Umbrella's tone with a smile.

With that said, the ghost umbrella walking in front of Su Zimo suddenly disappeared, but the black umbrella he was holding in his hand instantly became colder.

[This should be a shortcut to the next station. Although time passes slowly when sitting on the subway, the space of each nightmare world is actually very small, so the stations are not very far from each other. ]

Although the ghost umbrella's human figure disappeared, his voice still sounded beside Su Zimo, and he could even feel a cool breeze blowing past his ears.

"Squeak-"

Su Zimo stepped on the narrow iron road and listened to Ghost Umbrella listing the excellent names he had considered over the years, but in the end, Ghost Umbrella still felt that these names were not good enough.

In the cool and unreasonable voice, Su Zimo didn't feel uncomfortable at all because of the darkness around him.

After passing a few bright white billboards, Su Zimo actually saw a brand-new white subway that was already parked there, just as the black umbrella said!

It was obviously delayed for a while, but Su Zimo really caught up with the speeding subway with two feet.

After speeding up and walking forward for a while, and after seeing the platform in front of him clearly, Su Zimo found that the platform was the one he was in at the beginning. The lights were bright and the environment was clean, but it seemed to be empty and no one was there.

Perhaps it was because such a neat and empty subway station gave the trainees a sense of security. Standing in the dark on the edge of the platform, Su Zimo watched Gan Yuan and Xiao Yuyang and the remaining five trainees carefully walk out of the subway. Came out and looked around.

The next second, an accident happened.

The subway they are in is a platform in the middle, and on both sides are two tracks for the subway to go in different directions.

At this moment, when the trainees came out of the subway, they were opposite, the empty track on the other side of the platform actually turned on the lights, and an equally brand-new white subway entered the station at an extremely fast speed.

"Ding-"

The bell rang, the door of the subway on the opposite side opened, and five figures in mountaineering suits came out.

The ones walking at the front of the team were actually Gan Yuan and Xiao Yuyang!

"Ah!" Seeing the identical self standing on the other side of the platform, Gan Yuan on both sides couldn't help screaming.

For a while, even Su Zimo didn't know which side of the trainer was the real one.

[Here's what you need. ] The voice of the ghost umbrella also rang in Su Zimo's ear.
