In the nightmare world, Su Zimo, who was sitting directly opposite "Xiao Wan", happened to see the weird smile on her face.
He knew that a certain switch hidden in this nightmare world had been turned on.
"Anyway, the ghost story conference should be over, right?" Su Zimo guessed that there are still many things, but he knew that the more he talked, the more likely he would be shocked, so he straightened up the schoolbag he was carrying, and reached out to caress it. A black umbrella with a long handle that feels cold to the touch.
After a little peace of mind, Su Zimo got up from the sofa, and with a smile, he said to the other practitioners, "You can stay here first, or you can leave here. I need to leave for a while, so don't worry."
For a long time, "Ayu" gave Xu Yingying and the others the impression that they were gentle and elegant young people, just like the kind of boy that Zhang Xiaoqing admired in the story. He had a gentle temperament and could show a gentle smile to anyone.
At that time, the glasses on Ah Yu's nose seemed to add a gentle temperament to him.
However, when Ah Yu restrained his smile, the eyes behind the lenses were so calm that people felt a little scary, and even the glasses that originally made people feel good seemed a little colder.
When Su Zimo spoke, "Xiao Wan" sat there quietly with her head down, without any other movement, as if she didn't intend to do anything in this house.
"You...Aren't you going?" Xu Yingying couldn't help but care about Ayu even though she thought it was strange.
In terms of appearance and personality, Xu Yingying is the type that is particularly popular on college campuses. She is always surrounded by many excellent boys. Over time, she is better at seeing people than ordinary college girls.
So her eyes always fell on Su Zimo, and she felt that even among the best boys, he stood out from the crowd.
Such people should not have no team concept.
Therefore, Xu Yingying wondered why Ah Yu would take the initiative to leave the team at this moment.
"It's okay, I'm just borrowing the bathroom. The time for the task is limited, and I'll catch up soon." Su Zimo didn't look nervous at all, and was walking towards the bathroom at the beginning. When Su Zimo walked out from there, he was too hasty and didn't take anything with him, so he always felt that it would be a pity to leave like this.
"What the hell, go to the bathroom at this time? And it's the bathroom of Nightmare World? Could he be Hanhan who hasn't had much contact with Nightmare World? He doesn't have any common sense in Nightmare World." Consciousness, Du Lei muttered a few words subconsciously after hearing the words of "Ayu".
Judging from the state of the three practitioners, they did not seem to realize that "Xiao Wan" sitting on the sofa was a bomb that could explode at any time. Left arm to see if the task for the next stage has been released.
After all, when Su Zimo first met Xu Yingying, she had said that a nightmare world with only four people would be very simple.
"This place makes me panic." Du Lei looked at "Xiao Wan" who kept his head down, and finally felt that something was wrong with the whole house, "Let's go first!"
"Let's wait, anyway, the second task has not been released yet." Seeing Du Lei walking towards the door, Xu Yingying stubbornly stood in the living room and refused to leave.
"Ah, Yingying!" At this time, Zhu Zhu, who had been standing silently by the side in a long striped skirt and glasses, suddenly shouted, "The second phase of the task has been released!"
After hearing what Zhu Zhu said, Xu Yingying and Du Lei immediately glanced at the task content on their left arm. Both of them had a look of surprise in their eyes. After looking at each other, the expressions on their faces seemed a little heavy. .
"Ah..." Xu Yingying wanted to call Su Zimo, but Du Lei quickly grabbed her arm.
At Du Lei's suggestion, Xu Yingying saw that the girl who had been sitting on the sofa with her head down had actually stood up, and she didn't know when she walked to the outermost sofa, but her head was still deeply pressed.
Seeing what "Xiao Wan" looks like now, even a fool knows that something is wrong.
"Come on!" Du Lei ignored Xu Yingying's reaction, and took advantage of the dual strengths of both the trainer and the male, and directly dragged Xu Yingying away. Seeing that her friend was forcibly taken away like this, Zhu Zhu also glanced nervously in the direction of the bathroom. After stomping her feet anxiously, she also followed and left the house.
"Ah!" After several practitioners left the apartment, there seemed to be some exclamations from outside, but they soon disappeared.
Su Zimo didn't know what was going on in the bathroom. After entering the bathroom, he saw a small jewelry box placed in front of the vanity mirror. Then he took out an ordinary-looking black flannel bag from the side pocket of his backpack. , and took out a gold transfer bead weighing more than one gram from it, and threw it into the small jewelry box.
Although Su Zimo worked hard to sweep every nightmare world, he still couldn't do such a thing as "stealing" things directly from an environment that looked like it was inhabited.
Although "trading" with gold seems to be a loss, Su Zimo clearly knows that no matter how much money he has, he can't improve the store experience value of "being in a corner", but a small roll of paper in the nightmare world can Do it easily.
These transfer beads were prepared by Su Zimo's Butler Mu, and they used a small vault that he hadn't used for four years. However, thinking that the money in the small treasury was also pocket money given by his father and grandfather back then, Su Zimo still felt that he had to find something more profitable than "being in a corner" and achieve self-reliance as soon as possible.
After completing the "transaction", Su Zimo looked around the bathroom, but did not find familiar unstarred products, but found several unfamiliar products with higher prices.
[Nightmare soap (no star rating)]
[Price: 3 yuan]
[Description: This soap is mixed with a smell that Li Gui likes, but because the content is very, very small, unless you always use a whole piece of soap in the bath, it will not attract Li Gui's attention. ]
[Nightmare Brand Cheap Perfume (No Star)]
[Price: 3 yuan]
[Description: This perfume is mixed with a smell that Li Gui hates, but because the content is very, very small, unless you spray a whole bottle at one time, it will not attract Li Gui's attention. ]
[Nightmare Brand Ordinary Lipstick (No Star)]
[Price: 5 yuan]
[Description: This is a lipstick that can add a sense of mystery to people. As long as you put on this lipstick, you can get a little ghost-like mystery. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, only you can know. ]
Although there were not many things, after throwing the goods into the backpack, Su Zimo felt that this purchase was already a return.
Originally, Su Zimo wanted to go to another place to take a look, but when he came out of the bathroom, he found that the three practitioners in the living room had already left, and only "Xiao Wan" was standing with his head bowed. Not far in front of him, when Su Zimo looked over, he suddenly raised his head. At first glance, it really made people feel a little scared.
Su Zimo tried to lean behind him, and found that he could touch the door of "Satisfaction in a corner" as soon as he stretched out his hand, which means that "Xiao Wan", who was staring at him at this moment, was really not alive!
Maybe even the "protagonist" of this nightmare world.
"It was said at the beginning of the story that the reason why Zhang Xiaoqing knew the school girl and the glasses girl was because of her name." Su Zimo knew that her escape route had not been blocked, and the trainees had already left the apartment, so Su Zimo Standing calmly opposite "Xiao Wan", he brought up the previous ghost story again.
Outside the balcony not far from Su Zimo, the light red moon seemed to be darker than before.
"The protagonist of the story is called Zhang Xiaoqing. Judging from the information on the tablet on the coffee table, the boy she likes is Lin Zhe. The girl with glasses is called Wen Xiaoyu, and the school girl without glasses is called Hua Xiaowan, and here is Hua Xiaowan. Your home." Su Zimo turned and pointed to the closed bedroom door, "I thought you were Hua Xiaowan at first, but then I found out that Hua Xiaowan is now lying in the bedroom and playing with her hands."
"Then who am I?" The girl standing in front of Su Zimo tilted her head almost 90 degrees.
"You are Zhang Xiaoqing, Zhang Xiaoqing who jumped down from the rooftop." Su Zimo said with great certainty.
The girl with the crooked head grinned again, and her voice became a little erratic, no longer as real as before.
[exactly. ]
[In fact, they never regarded me as a friend. Even if the names have something in common, I am still a country girl in their eyes, and I can only walk with them because of their kindness. ]
[Unfortunately, I figured it out too late. ]
[I don't hate Lin Zhe, he didn't say a word from the beginning of the prank, which shows that although he participated in the prank, he didn't intend to lie to me from the beginning, and even wanted to tell me the truth at the end. ] Zhang Xiaoqing straightened her head and looked at Su Zimo, [I think too much myself, so he is still a very gentle person, just like you. ]
"People often say that most of the happiness of a secret love comes from self-satisfaction, or it can be said to be self-deception." Su Zimo said slowly.
[I don't hate Wen Xiaoyu either, she's just Hua Xiaowan's sidekick, she will do whatever Hua Xiaowan asks her to do. Sometimes she's actually more pitiful than me. I feel a bit like the two girls who left just now. ] Zhang Xiaoqing said, half-squinting her eyes, [I just admire Hua Xiaowan, whether it's hiding her face and crying, or what she said to me by the lake in the park, it's so real that I can't see any flaws, She even cried a lot because of her disappearance. ]
"What about the other boy who left just now? In your opinion, each of us seems to correspond to a role." Su Zimo asked curiously, "Who does that boy correspond to?"
Su Zimo felt that if he did not appear in this nightmare world, perhaps Du Lei's corresponding role would be the boy Zhang Xiaoqing likes.
[Maybe it's someone else in the class? ] The corner of Zhang Xiaoqing's mouth twitched, [There are many bystanders in this world who keep themselves out of the way. They know that the friendship between me and the other three is not right, but they never thought of telling me, they just hide Just laughing and watching a good show. ]
"It sounds like you hate Hua Xiaowan the most." Su Zimo asked tentatively, "So you stay here, are you only going to do something to Hua Xiaowan? Are you going to forgive Lin Zhe and Wen Xiaoyu?"
[Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! ]
Originally, Su Zimo thought that Zhang Xiaoqing, like the old man in the nightmare world before, was a ghost who could communicate.
And because Zhang Xiaoqing has no communication barriers, it should be more convenient to communicate.
But when Su Zimo asked that question, Zhang Xiaoqing, who was standing in front of him, suddenly burst into laughter.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqing's ball head, which was loosely closed behind her head, spread out instantly, her black hair fell down, and a lot of blood appeared from the top of her head, seeped into her hair, dripped from her forehead, and continued down her cheeks. , and finally landed on the original white skirt, leaving behind a trail of dark red blood, which was shocking.
[forgive? None of them can escape! ]
[You, none of you can escape! ]
Su Zimo discovered a very serious problem. First of all, after Zhang Xiaoqing's appearance became a complete ghost, the aura changed dramatically. To put it more exaggeratedly, his whole body was full of killing intent.
Zhang Xiaoqing is not a saint. When encountering such a thing, the resentment in her heart cannot be relieved.
Moreover, what she said at first was "None of them can escape", but later it became "None of you can escape!"
[Lin Zhe! ] When Zhang Xiaoqing stared at Su Zimo, she actually called out the name of the boy in the story, and the dark red blood left in her eyes looked like two extremely sad tears, [If you don't like me, And why do you always treat me so tenderly? ! If you don't like me, why accept my gifts day after day? ! Even if you don't like me, why would you lie to me with them? ! ]
[I don't hate you, but damn you! ]
Su Zimo could feel that Zhang Xiaoqing, who had blood and tears in front of her eyes, had lost most of her rationality as a human being. She was just a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell. He had already thrown off the pen-shaped swing stick in his hand, but when he raised his head, he found that it was flying towards him... It turned out to be the tablet computer that was placed on the coffee table before.
Su Zimo has experienced a lot of unnatural attacks, but not many such simple and crude physical attacks. Fortunately, after Su Zimo completed the first official transaction, his physical condition improved a bit, and so did his reaction ability.
So in the face of the tablet computer that suddenly flew in front of him... Even when there were various glassware on the coffee table, Su Zimo almost conditioned reflex to find the safest direction to dodge at the moment, and then watch the computer and various glassware. The vessel smashed against the wall with a terrifying force like falling from a high altitude, and countless fragments flew up.
Although it avoided being hit by something, the fragments that flew up under this force were obviously extremely terrifying, like shrapnel flying around after a bomb exploded. What's more, the female ghost standing not far away with blood all over her body directly waved her hand, causing all the flying debris to hit Su Zimo who was standing at the door of the apartment.
Seeing that the fragments were about to attack Su Zimo from all sides, there was a black long-handled umbrella in his hand, and then it opened with a "bang". He actually stood in front of Su Zimo.
Various fragments hit the black umbrella in front of Su Zimo, but it seemed that they were all blocked by an invisible barrier, causing no damage to the umbrella surface.
Even Su Zimo, who was holding the umbrella, didn't feel any vibration!
Ghost Umbrella's defense far exceeded Su Zimo's expectations. No, in other words, Su Zimo never thought about the power of the ghost umbrella that Su Hewen said was "useless".
That is the power of the glasses on the bridge of Su Zimo's nose that can only be described by a screen full of question marks!
[Next time if you are in a bad mood, you can try to use me to block the bullet rain. ] Ghost Umbrella didn't show up, but his voice reminded Su Zimo in his ears with a gust of wind, [It must be very handsome! ]
"Don't worry, if you're in a bad mood, I'll take you to block the Titanic, it's even more handsome." Su Zimo said, put away the umbrella, opened the door of the apartment directly, and left the apartment where the ghost was hiding.
[… ]
That is, when Su Zimo exited the apartment, the door in front of him slammed shut, and the voice belonging to Zhang Xiaoqing came from the door—
[If you want to live, escape from this apartment. ]
[You will know, the feeling of desperation at the time. ]
[Come on, there's no time. ]
Su Zimo subconsciously turned back to look at the corridor of the apartment, and found that there was no long corridor in this apartment, but only a spiral staircase that kept going down.
A... red staircase!
The stairs are red, the walls are red, and the lights at the corners of the stairs are also red. Su Zimo simply stood in such a space and felt a little dizzy, and even had a feeling of nausea.
The air in the surrounding corridors seemed to gradually become hot, and the floor under Su Zimo's feet seemed to become a little softer.
At this moment, a familiar coldness came from the black umbrella that Su Zimo was holding in his left hand.
Su Zimo suddenly came back to his senses, and found that although the surrounding area was still a red that made people feel uncomfortable, the nausea and hallucinations about the temperature and the floor had suddenly disappeared.
Su Zimo glanced at the umbrella in his left hand, put the metal pen in his right back into the side pocket of his backpack, and looked downstairs while holding the black umbrella.
The red staircase is like a downward spiral, and in the end, only a piece of red can be seen, like the flame purgatory under the legendary hell.
Su Zimo looked up thoughtfully and looked at the same red upstairs next to him. Before he could think about it, he heard the screams of girls downstairs.
Knowing that the three practitioners who left early had gone downstairs, Su Zimo adhered to the concept of "following good practitioners to eat meat", and without any hesitation, went downstairs directly with the black umbrella.
The completely red corridor looked like a poisonous snake spreading downward, so Su Zimo, who was holding the black umbrella, was also very careful, as if the fangs would appear in the next step in the next second.
