Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

Chapter 63: The nightmare is over

Views:

Su Zimo accelerated the speed of going upstairs. When he and the other practitioners caught up with Du Lei who was walking in front, he saw a red door appear there, and the stairs that had been going up had already gone up. came to an end.

They have reached the top, and the way up is the right one.

[bang-bang-]

A very soft thumping sound began to surround the ears of Su Zimo and the other practitioners. He looked at the dark red door in front of him, and felt like he was in Zhang Xiaoqing's heart, and this door also It was beating like a heart.

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

The door gave people a familiar feeling, and it could make Su Zimo feel the beating of his heart, as if the building was alive from beginning to end.

This actually seems a bit ironic to Su Zimo.

Zhang Xiaoqing had already jumped down from the roof, but the building she built after her death contained the various influences she left in this world after her short career of more than ten years suddenly ended.

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

The prankster who started to panic because of her affairs.

Students who have studied in the same classroom for so long, but are not sad at all, and regard the whole thing as a discussion point.

Sad but still bending over to apologize to the prankster.

The faceless images of the prankster 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 the door is opened, they will walk into the deepest part of Zhang Xiaoqing's heart, which may be very sad, or it may be terrifying... After all, Zhang Xiaoqing is different from the old ghost master who had succeeded in revenge in the nightmare world before. The three pranksters she resented are still living well to this day.

Just like the apartment at the beginning of Nightmare World, Hua Xiaowan, Wen Xiaoyu, and Lin Zhe in the real world may have deliberately forgotten the events of their high school days, and kept walking forward without the word "Zhang Xiaoqing".

Only Zhang Xiaoqing was left, because he was full of grievances, he stayed where he was and couldn't leave.

How could such a devil 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 ghost, not the ones made up by Zhang Xiaoqing, so naturally the metal pen was easier to use.

As for the ghost umbrella that needs to be possessed, Su Zimo pinched the muscles that were still sore, feeling that the ghost umbrella entered very quickly anyway, so he might just wait until the most critical moment before using it.

The door was not locked at all, and Su Zimo fluttered open without any force at all, as if a gust of wind blew the door open.

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

That's right, not the roof of the apartment, but the roof of the school, but because everyone is used to the confusion in the apartment, no one is surprised by it, and even relieved that they have left the red corridor.

The sky shrouded on the rooftop is still a cloudy night, 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 had not walked over could feel the wind blowing from the door, with a biting cold that was different from summer.

Such a rooftop, if you ignore the full moon above the sky, looks a bit ordinary.

Looking at the fate of the practitioners outside the door, Su Zimo played with the metal pen in his hand, and then walked in without hesitation. The wind from the rooftop was blowing on Su Zimo's thin clothes, which was a bit too cold, but at the edge of the rooftop stood another figure in a thin white long dress.

There was a lot of wind on the rooftop, and the loose white dress was blown badly by the wind, and the scattered long hair was flying in the air.

Perhaps it was because he heard a movement behind him, Li Gui, who was standing beside the rooftop, turned around, there were still two tears of blood running down his face, and the red traces were left on the white long skirt. Seen like.

[You are here. ]

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

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

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

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

"I don't have any similarities with that school girl, okay?!" Xu Yingying was a little dissatisfied with this for a long time, and now she said angrily, standing far away from Li Gui, "I'm just an ordinary student who likes acting. , I will refuse and stay away from people I don’t like. Although some people always say that I have a bad personality, it is enough for me to show a good side in front of the camera.”

"I'm just not used to being in contact with people. I'm not cowardly, and I'm not a school girl's follower." Zhu Zhu, who was wearing glasses, was still clutching the white cloth. Although her voice was still so soft, her cheeks were flushed. The slightly flustered gestures showed her anxiety, "I am a screenwriter, and I usually like to write something, and I also like to write down things that I dare not say in articles."

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

[… ] Zhang Xiaoqing on the edge of the rooftop still tilted her head and looked at Zhu Zhu and the others. After a long time, she straightened her head, and then turned her back again, [Whatever you want. ]

"So I was ignored?" Du Lei, who was beside the two female practitioners, 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 roof, [I once walked by and felt very uncomfortable. ]

"But by jumping from here, we can clear the level and leave this nightmare world, right?!" Du Lei looked 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 blood and tears, opened the corners of his mouth and said in a weird smile: "Who knows? I only skipped it once, and it died. ]

Su Zimo and Du Lei tried to walk to the edge of the rooftop against the wind and glanced down.

Perhaps it was Zhang Xiaoqing's intention, the height of the roof is not the fifth or sixth floor of a normal school teaching building, but a ten-story high-rise building that makes people shudder when they look down!

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

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

"This place is more than a dozen stories high. If we lose the bet, we will fall to the ground and shatter our bones." Du Lei took a deep breath as if doing self-construction, "Don't think that if you have a nightmare, you can die with confidence. I once heard that someone wanted to die in the nightmare world for some reason, but because the death was too tragic, even if they used the nightmare point to resurrect, they were still mentally damaged, and the whole person became abnormal!"

"There are very few ways to die. It's worse than jumping from a dozen-story building." Du Lei was still a little sighed.

"Then go down the stairs!" Xu Yingying gritted her teeth, "I don't even have ten nightmare points, but I'm rushing back to sleep!"

Saying that, Xu Yingying took Zhu Zhu to the edge of the rooftop, and then she was blown back by the strong wind, and she took a few steps back.

Several people didn't know what to think, and they all looked at Su Zimo with help-seeking eyes, as if hoping that Mr. "Ayu" could do something, although they didn't know what to do.

Su Zimo stood motionless at the very edge of the rooftop.

No way, Su Zimo is not a trainee.

If jumping from the rooftop is the way out of the nightmare world, then it may be that the practitioners just jumped halfway and gradually turned translucent as before and disappeared, returning to the real world.

And if Su Zimo jumped off the rooftop, he might just... "pa-ta".

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

[What's wrong? Can't make a decision? ] Zhang Xiaoqing suddenly made a sound, diverting the attention of the practitioners from Su Zimo's body. ]

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

Seeing the three people whose faces changed instantly, Su Zimo couldn't help but give Zhang Xiaoqing a compliment from the bottom of his heart. He just felt that this trick was used beautifully, and he said what he wanted to say but couldn't.

"Don't confuse us with guys who are worse than ghosts." Xu Yingying and Zhu Zhu looked at each other, held hands again and walked to the edge of the rooftop, and said with a wry smile, "Pig, it seems that our relationship is not good enough to jump off together. to the point of.”

"You dare to jump from here with me, we are best friends." Zhu Zhu also said with a deep breath.

"It makes sense."

"Add me." Du Lei next to him also walked to the edge of the rooftop, his face blushing, "I won't hold my hand, but you have to tell me a communication number, we can be considered to have lived and died together."

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

"Hey, don't worry, you're not the most beautiful person I've ever met." Du Lei's eyes dodged for a while, "The more you see, the more picky you become, I just want to show off to the buddies in the dormitory. Just a moment."

"That's fine." Xu Yingying readily agreed, and reported her communication number.

But…

Just when the three of them relaxed and prepared to jump, they suddenly found that the wind on the rooftop was getting stronger and stronger, and it was blowing them back again and again, unable to get close to the edge of the rooftop at all!

"Ah!" When Zhu Zhu turned around, she found that the cold hand of the ghost Zhang Xiaoqing grabbed her arm, which made the little screenwriter tremble, and even the white cloth strip that had been holding in her hand fell off. on the ground on the rooftop.

[Are you fools? ] Specter Zhang Xiaoqing's eyes look a little terrifying, [Jump down and die! ]

"what?"

The three practitioners who had always thought that there was a way out under the roof were completely stunned.

[Enough, I admit that you are not like them. ] Zhang Xiaoqing lowered her head and let her hair cover her eyes, [but remember one thing, no matter when you jump from this, you will die! At that moment, no miracle will happen, no supernatural event will happen, no superman will fall from the sky, there will be no hope, and don't do stupid things in the future. ]

Hearing Zhang Xiaoqing's words, Su Zimo suddenly realized that he didn't need to jump from the rooftop to clear the world from this nightmare.

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, It's not that they still can't get out of the building."

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

Almost as soon as Zhang Xiaoqing finished speaking, 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 practitioners might have been moved out of this building directly, and then they could clear the level.

but…

"Why did you keep me?" Su Zimo half-squinted his eyes, "Did you notice something?"

Su Zimo couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Xiaoqing knew that he was not a trainee.

But in the face of Su Zimo's question, Zhang Xiaoqing just tilted her head to show a thoughtful expression, then instantly appeared in front of Su Zimo, and said with a smile: "I just think, if the person I liked was you, I would definitely Nothing as bad as that will happen. ]

"Thanks, but I have to leave."

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 door handle...

The entire rooftop suddenly tilted 60 degrees, Su Zimo's unprepared body fell directly to the ground, and instantly slipped all the way to the edge of the rooftop. Only the ghost Zhang Xiaoqing could stand vertically on the rooftop and smile at Su Zimo from a strange angle. on.

Laughing and laughing, the Specter Zhang Xiaoqing started to cry again.

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

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

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 kind of feeling, as if Su Zimo just moved his hand, the whole roof would tilt.

[Not the way out for this building. ] Zhang Xiaoqing shook her head while crying, [I just think that the three of them are still happily walking their own way, but I can only stay in this world alone, it's very painful, I think I'm 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 instantly appear in front of him.

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

"Wait until I say yes." Su Zimo just said softly, no longer trying to open the door behind him, but holding on to 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 be turned into entities that can be touched, and they can also remain phantoms that cannot be touched. This is why it is difficult for ordinary weapons and fists to cause damage to them. .

When Su Zimo tried to pull Zhang Xiaoqing, his fingers passed through a phantom.

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

At this time, Su Zimo suddenly saw a white cloth strip on the ground. It was a two-star ghost weapon that Zhu Zhu had dropped on the ground when he was in a panic. Because it is a ghost weapon, so I can come into contact with ghosts... With this understanding, Su Zimo put the ghost umbrella back into his backpack, and then picked up the ghost weapon "Blind's Heart and Eyes" directly from the ground, quickly entangled Zhang Xiaoqing and his own Wrist, hold the knot in the palm of your hand.

Before Zhang Xiaoqing could come back to her senses, Su Zimo fell backwards directly along the sloping roof.

[What are you doing! ] Zhang Xiaoqing, a savage ghost, showed panic at this moment and lost his way.

So far, Zhang Xiaoqing is still afraid of the feeling of falling down.

"If you stay here, you will never find a way out." Su Zimo smiled at Zhang Xiaoqing's surprised and frightened eyes, "I don't know how you felt when you jumped from here last time, but you can Tell you, I'm taking you out of this cage now!"

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

Su Zimo's body 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 cloudy sky and slowly fell down, his toes hadn't left the edge of the rooftop, his other hand had reached behind him, firmly grasped the handle of the "door", and pressed hard. Push it away with a tug!

The door has always been behind Su Zimo.

Even this moment when he fell backwards!

He just took Zhang Xiaoqing, the ghost of the nightmare world, to the door of "Satisfaction in a corner" and poured in!

"Bang!"

Perhaps it was because of the special way of entering the "An Yu Yi Corner". Su Zimo, who grabbed Zhang Xiaoqing tightly, fell into the "An Yu Yi Corner", which was brightly lit like daytime with a huge dive force, and finally collided with the one closest to the side door. On the shelf, it hurts a lot!

"hiss-"

Su Zimo tried hard to hold back the pain in his back, and turned to look at the Specter who was tightly wrapped with a white cloth strip, only to find that the Specter on the other side of the white cloth strip had completely disappeared, leaving only a white mobile phone wrapped in a white cloth strip. Tightly circled, there was a long list of remarks displayed on the phone, but for the first time Su Zimo lost the thought of shorthand, closed his eyes and leaned on the shelf, letting out a long 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 this, but as an ordinary person, it seems that Zhang Xiaoqing does not want to let Zhang Xiaoqing continue to wander in that resentful and hopeless world until he is crazy.

What's more, it must be an extremely precious collection for shopkeepers who are "comfortable in a corner".

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 the ringing of a mobile phone. He consciously looked at the mobile phone belonging to Zhang Xiaoqing, and then realized that the ringing mobile phone should be his own.

I struggled to get down the backpack that I had just helped buffer a little bit, took out the phone that I had put in it that I had not used much, and saw an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.

"Hello?" Because there was no harassing message, Su Zimo still answered the phone.

"Connected! Connected! Really connected!" A somewhat excited female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Oh my God, are you Su Zimo? You really haven't changed your phone number?"

"May I ask who you are..." Su Zimo looked blank.

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

But to be honest, Su Zimo has experienced a lot of nightmare world during this time. Every time he enters the nightmare world, he has to meet many people and remember many people's names. These names are entangled like threads, even Su Zi Ink also needs to be sorted out for a while.

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

"...Your high school classmate! Your monitor..." The voice on the other end of the phone was slightly broken.

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

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

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