Chapter 38: Lonely Mountain Notes

Views:

If enough time is given, many people may be able to think of the things Su Zimo said, but it is precisely because there is not enough time that Su Zimo, who can discover this in the shortest time, appears in the eyes of other practitioners. Even better!

"As expected of the university bully of Shoushan No. 1 Middle School." Du Xin looked at Su Zimo with glowing eyes, as if a pair of ears and a fluffy tail were moving.

"Shoushan No. 1 Middle School..." Cheng Yun, who was standing beside Du Xin, repeated it softly.

"Actually, it's too bad to find this out until now." Su Zimo would not be happy because of this, "The title of Xueba is meaningless, after all, everyone has something he is good at. If the customs clearance fails, this kind of title is even more meaningless to people like me who don't have enough nightmares."

Su Zimo actually felt a little depressed. He always felt that he had unconsciously become the more active one among the trainees, but he was not yet a trainee. For Su Zimo, collecting ghosts is the top priority, but his intuition tells him that there is a high possibility of ghosts on the second floor compared to the open first and third floors, but if you want to enter the second floor, You have to follow the design of this nightmare world step by step.

If Specter can really come out from the second floor, then they should also have a way to enter the second floor.

"Anyway, we have new clues now." Jin Lei tried her best to smile in a tense atmosphere, looking at the practitioners who recovered the ghost weapons together - they may not even know that the items they have can be called "Ghost weapon", "that is, everyone should have an identity."

"But what does it mean to have an identity? Do you want to wear all the clothes of those servants like you?" Du Xin scratched his head from the maid's room before, "Those clothes are yellowed, like cheap Antique."

"Just as you said." Jin Lei, the only person with a clear identity among the trainees, looked at the surrounding Su Zimo, rough men and girls, and tickled the corner of her mouth indiscernibly, "Anyway, the previous order I don't remember anymore, so let's just role-play according to the room assigned this time. The chef's room wears the chef's clothes, the maid's room wears the maid's clothes, and the gardener's room wears the gardener's clothes. tool, okay?"

"Can."

What shocked everyone was that the first trainee to agree was Liu Xu, who spoke no more than 10 words from beginning to end! The dark-skinned practitioner heaved a sigh of relief while putting away the red glove on his right hand.

Su Zimo remembered that, except this time, this Mr. Liu seemed to have walked out of the maid's house, but this time he was assigned to the chef's room, escaping the fate of wearing a maid outfit.

"This..." For some reason, "Cheng Yun", who was assigned to the maid's room three times in a row, seemed to feel deep malice, but because of Cheng Yun's character, he just showed hesitation.

"Should I change it now?" Cheng Yun finally couldn't help frowning, "You can wait a little longer."

"But we don't know when it will be reclassified, and we don't know how long a 'day' is in this nightmare world." Dr. Kim sighed, "At least the first and second days we have spent are completely Not the same, maybe the third day will pass in a few minutes. Captain Cheng, there is not much time left for us, we must not miss any important clues."

What Dr. Jin said is naturally good, but in Su Zimo's opinion, she seems to want to see Cheng Yun wearing a maid outfit.

"There are three sets of clothes in the maid's room. Except for Dr. Jin, we have three women here. I don't need a big man like me to join in the fun." Cheng Yun obviously did not accept the matter of wearing a maid's costume, and even glanced at it. Su Zimo, who was silent again, said, "Even Mr. Su looks better in clothes like mine, right? If this is a live show, there must be more people who want to see ladies and Mr. Su in maid costumes. some, aren't they?"

"This is not a gimmick." Bai Man, who had been standing beside Cheng Yun as an assistant, said softly, "Everything is just for customs clearance."

"Yes, Captain Cheng is the only one who stayed in the same room three times except me." Dr. Jin smiled without any flaws, "Look, I have already put on a white coat. now…”

"I see." Cheng Yun's face sank for the first time, but the next second he put on a smile very quickly, making everyone who noticed this couldn't help but want to applaud, "Everyone change When it comes to clothes, check carefully for any new clues in the room you are in."

Seeing that Cheng Yunpi agreed without a smile, several old members of the Shuguang organization just nodded in response. Du Xin and Qi Xiaomin, two new members and maids this time, didn't say what they wanted to say in the end. As for He He Cheng Yun did not have any friendship with other practitioners, and naturally they would not have any opinions.

As long as they don't wear maid outfits, anyone will do!

For Su Zimo, as long as they slowly realize that he is "one more person", they can play whatever they want.

After everyone's suggestions were agreed, everyone returned to the previous room one after another, hoping that through role-playing, they could really find the lifeline hidden in this nightmare world.

The reason why they chose to go back to the room one after another was because the maid and the gardener had different genders, so they acted separately.

The first one came out was Liu Xu, maybe because the chef of the villa was a big fat man, so the yellowed white chef uniform was put on him like a sack. If the chef hat was not folded, he might also have his The whole head is covered.

Then there was Bai Man in the bodyguard's room. Because the bodyguards of the villa didn't have any special uniforms, she asked Su Zimo for the tactical pen in the bodyguard's room and used it as a tool in her hand.

Fang Qin, Xiaohuo and Wan Ling in the gardener's room also did not have special uniforms, but Mr. Fang Qin carried the Tai Chi sword behind his back and held a folding shovel in his hand. The metal part was rusted. Xiaohuo held a similar shovel in his hand, which could not be folded, but the weight seemed to be similar to that of Mr. Fang.

Even more terrifying was Wan Ling, who was wearing a white dress and looked very quiet. She didn't know where to find a half-length garden shears - it seemed to be used to trim giant bushes. When Wan Ling held the oversized scissors in her hand, the thin and small girl looked a little terrified.

What surprised Su Zimo most was that the scissors found by Wan Ling... turned out to be a ghost weapon!

[Broken Ghost (two-star)]

[Price: 50 yuan]

[Description: Hidden in an environment full of ghosts, the giant gardening shears that have been washed away by ghosts for a long time seem to have some kind of mutation. This mutation allows the holder to use the scissors to cut off some people and ghosts. The tie between them is extremely effective for half-assed ghosts, and can cause a certain degree of damage to ghosts. ]

Not just ghosts, but also two-star ghosts...

After discovering this, Su Zimo didn't know whether to feel sorry for himself or for the girl to find a good self-defense tool.

"Xiao Ling, will this tool be too heavy?" Jin Lei couldn't help reminding her because she was stuck by the girl all the time.

But Wan Ling just shook her head quickly, and then hugged the scissors "Broken Ghost" tightly in her arms, as if she could feel the sense of security this ghost weapon brought her. From the very beginning, the girl followed Dr. Jin's actions, and she could find that Wan Ling was an experienced practitioner who acted by feeling.

Then came the lunatic who came out of the driver's room. He didn't change into the driver's outdated suit, but just hooked the key of the famous car that was left on the table on his finger, still looking like a fool.

Su Zimo didn't find the housekeeper's uniform, and the wardrobe with the safe was also full of very ordinary and unrecognizable clothes, not like the white housekeeper who was dismissed by him, he prepared a cabinet of black tuxedos and white shirts, so In the end, he simply returned to the hall with a copy of "The Butler's Self-cultivation".

And in the end, it was naturally the three trainees in the maid's room who made the grand debut.

Qi Xiaomin is the one who has no psychological pressure and walks in the front. If you ignore the old and yellowing of the maid's clothes, she looks like a young and energetic little maid. Even the original simple ponytail has been changed into a double ponytail. Fits well.

The situation of Cheng Yun and Du Xin in the future is not very optimistic...

Cheng Yun looks like an ordinary man, but he is definitely not thin. Du Xin is a college student who is a part-time fitness instructor. He can feel his muscles in clothes, so it is impossible for these two to wear them from the beginning. One size maid outfit.

When the two of them walked out slowly, even Mr. Fang Qin, who had always been very approachable, couldn't help but start rubbing his temples, murmuring, "It's not necessary, it's really not necessary."

I saw that the two of them tried very hard to put the maid outfit on their bodies because of the difference in size, but the zipper behind them couldn't be pulled at all. They could only hang on their shoulders like wearing an apron. The skirt is also tied with a bow at the waist like a rough belt. It can be said that it is as miserable as it is, and it looks a little embarrassed.

"Let's do this first." Cheng Yun's expression was not good at the moment, but he went straight back to his seat beside the dining table without saying a word.

In fact, if you want to experiment, you really don't have to wear a maid outfit, but maybe it's because the Cheng Yun they saw in front of them took out the "kept stealing key". Although Jin Lei and Bai Man still didn't panic, it seemed Intentionally or unintentionally angering this Cheng Yun.

The victim, Du Xin, also quickly returned to Su Zimo's side. With a pitiful expression, he said aggrievedly: "I was a gardener before, but the ghosts here are really bullying!"

"This is also to find the 'silver chance' to pass the test." Su Zimo flipped through the book "Self-Cultivation of a Housekeeper" in his hand for a while, and finally closed the book because it didn't make any sense, and raised his glasses and said, " Ladies and gentlemen, the first task reminder is to let us pay attention to the mirror, right?"

"That's right." Jin Lei nodded, "We should have completely avoided all things that can reflect light during this period of time, so there is no problem with this one."

"So no one knows what's behind the mirror?" Su Zimo whispered to himself, but no one heard it.

"Speaking of which..." Mr. Fang Qin played with the folding shovel in his hand and suddenly said, "Where do you think the large sum of money in the housekeeper's room came from?"

The practitioners who changed their clothes and sat around the dining table looked like they were attending a banquet. After hearing the question from Mr. Fang, they all started to think about their own. They made the biggest discovery in the nightmare world the next day. In addition to the guesses provided by Su Zimo, it should be the things in the butler's safe. Since the role of the ledger has been speculated, the money in the safe should also be a clue.

"Master Fang, what did you think of?" Su Zimo felt that this old man with a Tai Chi sword was unusual from the very beginning.

"Well, after all, I've actually heard of similar things before." Mr. Fang glanced at the direction of the stairs, "I think I said before that there is a study on the third floor?"

"Well, but it's already messed up." Dr. Jin nodded.

"The old man hasn't gone to the third floor to see it, but he is very interested in the study." Mr. Fang said, and already leaning on the folding shovel in his hand, he got up from the chair.

"I'll accompany you to take a look." Su Zimo also got up and didn't forget to take the book "The Butler's Self-cultivation" with him.

This time, not all the trainees were dispatched. Only Dr. Jin and Bai Man stood up together with Su Zimo. After the four walked to the entrance of the stairs, Liu Xu, who had been silent, got up and followed behind the four.

Su Zimo naturally welcomed the addition of a three-star ghost weapon.

The group reached the third floor silently. Su Zimo glanced at the corner of the second floor and the third floor where the vase had been removed before, and then watched Doctor Jin and Bai Man walk into the family doctor's room on the third floor. They seem to want to discuss something.

Su Zimo followed Mr. Fang Qin into the study next door. He thought that Liu Xu, who was at the end, would also enter the study, but he did not expect that he would turn around without saying a word, and went straight to the main room where Su Zimo appeared at the beginning. bedroom.

"It's really tragic." After Mr. Fang Qin walked into the study, he saw various books scattered on the ground.

Su Zimo, who followed him in, looked around and found that the entire study was very large. The broken bookshelves covered almost all the walls, and the various books scattered on the ground were also covered with a thick layer, making the floor completely invisible. The whole picture.

Mr. Fang Qin didn't seem to have the heart to put his foot on those books, but because he was unable to bend down, he could only use the folding shovel in his hand to carefully push the books on the ground aside. Su Zimo, who discovered this, helped pack up the books nearby, and cleared a way for the old man to go from the door to the blocked window.

In the process of packing those books, Su Zimo suddenly found that there were not only books scattered on the ground, but also some flat boxes the size of books, most of which were wooden boxes with carved patterns, but the wooden boxes were empty and nothing.

"This is a collection box specially used to store precious ancient books." Mr. Fang took one of the boxes from Su Zimo's hand, and gently stroked the carvings on the box with his wrinkled hands, "Not to mention the original treasures inside. Things, just this box is worth a lot of money."

"The old man suspected that the servants in the family stole the ancient books collected in the study and sold them?" Su Zimo quickly understood what the old man Fang Qin thought.

"Well, in order to make quick money and keep secrecy, I might even take a shady route and sell it at a low price." The old man sighed, "Although it sounds ridiculous, I have really heard a lot of this kind of thing. ."

"They are willing to keep these boxes, I am afraid it is to hide people's eyes and ears." Su Zimo put these heavy boxes back on the empty bookshelf one by one, "Whether it is the work log of the family doctor, the absurd bright and dark ledger, or these The empty shells that are left behind are all disguises created by the stewards and the servants to prevent the scandals they have done from being exposed."

"It's absurd." The old man took a deep breath and tapped the broken wooden floor with the folding shovel in his hand.

Su Zimo also found that there was a small side door between the bookshelves in the study. Because the door frame had fallen out, standing in front of the door could see the room next to the study. There were some completely damaged books in that room. The stumps of plush toys and plastic toys should be the toy room that Dr. Jin mentioned earlier.

The owner of the toy room should be the little girl in the group photo that Su Zimo saw in the master bedroom before, but he didn't know why the owner of the villa specially added such a door between the study and the toy room.

"what?"

At this time, Mr. Fang Qin suddenly found a stack of things on the ground full of books, and with a surprised expression, he wanted to bend over to pick up the stack of papers, but the movement was still a little difficult.

"Xiao Su, do me a favor." This time, Mr. Fang did not call Su Zimo "Mr. Su".

Su Zimo helped pick up the stack of papers, and found that it turned out to be a stack of manuscript papers from a certain period of time. It was written with vigorous and powerful pen characters. It is not surprising that it was an excellent copybook.

[Being reduced to a busy city is worse than walking on a lonely mountain. ]

"Maybe you haven't seen this?" Mr. Fang Qin took the stack of manuscript papers and said with some emotion, "I once had an old friend who was not very close, and he used to like a book called "Notes on Lonely Mountain" very much. This book is neither an ancient book nor a masterpiece by a famous master, but a 'hypocritical' work about a busy old man who is tired of everything and everyone around him, so he seeks quietness in the busy city. Of course, this is my opinion on this. In the evaluation of this book, my old friend at that time was just like the author of this book, an indifferent and strange old man, who was not pleasing to anyone and nothing, so I could resonate with this book, right?"

"At that time, my old friend's treasure book, I read it once a day, and found a more expensive box to put it in, as if I wanted to make it as a family heirloom." Mr. Fang Qin pointed to the ones next to him. The book box used to collect estimates, "The most ridiculous thing is that he put this book on the shelf and never read it again."

"Since I like it so much and it resonates so much, why put the book on the shelf again?" Su Zimo felt a little strange.

"Hahahaha." The old man Fang Qin couldn't help laughing a few times, "Because that old man's daughter-in-law gave him a baby grandson, and that stinky old man with eccentric temper revolves around the little baby who urinated on him every day, where is it? Still willing to be in this 'bustling city', where do you want to find that 'Lonely Mountain'?"

Old Man Fang's eyes looked thoughtfully at the young man with glasses in front of him.

"But it doesn't seem to be the owner's collection of books." Su Zimo looked at the manuscript in the old man's hand, "It seems to be a handwritten manuscript."

"That's bad." Fang Qin's smile suddenly subsided, and he looked at Su Zimo with a serious expression, "If the owner of this study is the author of "Notes on the Lonely Mountain", that means... the nightmare we experienced Does the world really exist?"

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Mr. Fang coughed a few times and handed the manuscript to Su Zimo. "There doesn't seem to be any other clues in this study. It's better to go down and meet other dolls first."

"Ahhh!"

Just as Su Zimo and Mr. Fang were about to leave the study, Xiaohuo's shouting suddenly came from the hall. Because he didn't know what made a big boy scream so frightened, the old man Su Zimo supported quickened his pace and went downstairs with Dr. Jin and Liu Xu who ran out of other rooms. .
