Some people dream of a road in their dreams.
Straight ahead, the endless road seems to be unable to reach the end of the road no matter how you walk, let alone know where this road leads.
The road Su Zimo saw was a four-lane road that seemed to traverse the darkness. It was about the same width as the road outside the Jiangdu store, but there was no sidewalk, just a straight road that seemed endless in the dark. , On both sides of the highway, there are only ordinary and cheap Metasequoia trees pointing straight to the sky, and dim street lights that appear only after a long distance.
Su Zimo, who had just entered the nightmare world, stood at the beginning of the road, next to a dim street lamp, and behind him was an invisible cliff.
Because there were many people standing beside Su Zimo when he entered the nightmare world, he thought that this time he would have to mix with the trainer's team again, but when he saw the surrounding situation clearly, he found... The people at the beginning of the road Too much!
There are ordinary-looking commuters, young mothers pushing strollers, bare feet and white dresses walking with their heads down, middle school students with schoolbags, kind-hearted old people, and workers who have not washed away the dust. , and even saw a strange man in a white mask pushing a large cart.
Su Zimo did a rough calculation and found that there were forty or fifty people standing on the cliff!
Are these all trainees
"Excuse me, are you all experienced?" A flustered woman in professional attire suddenly turned around and asked Su Zimo. Although her makeup was appropriate, she could still feel her age from the lines that could not be covered by the corners of her eyes. .
Su Zimo just hesitated for a moment, and a man with a serious expression pulled the woman aside, and said in a reproachful tone, "Don't talk casually, didn't you see the task on your left arm? Few are experienced practitioners, so don't ask for trouble!"
"But I think that gentleman should be a trainee, so..." The woman said, and looked at Su Zimo with the man, as if waiting for his response.
Su Zimo's thoughts passed quickly. Although he didn't know what the mission in this nightmare world was, most of the figures standing on the cliff were probably not human.
That is to say, as long as he doesn't admit it, he doesn't have to join the team of experienced practitioners. Instead, he can... try to be a bystander
With this thought in mind, Su Zimo did not respond to the two practitioners.
[Open the umbrella, if you want to disguise as a non-human, you have to be a little non-human. ] The voice of the ghost umbrella suddenly rang in Su Zimo's ear.
Open the umbrella? Pretending to be someone who holds an umbrella on a good day
Su Zimo didn't quite understand the meaning of the ghost umbrella, and the ghost umbrella seemed to have guessed Su Zimo's doubts, and the voice came with a chuckle in Su Zimo's ear: [I said, this black umbrella itself is a A ghost device, it is like a storage lattice with an umbrella that allows people to travel with ghosts. Before leaving, I brought the sheet music and my phone with me. ]
Traveling with ghosts
Su Zimo opened the black umbrella in front of the two practitioners with half knowledge, and then felt a cold wind blowing by him. The eyes of the two practitioners in front of him instantly widened, and he turned around in a hurry. go.
From the corner of Su Zimo's eyes, he could also see a boy on the left wearing a white bunny coat and a furry bunny ear hood, and on the right wearing a white flowing dress with loose balls. head girl.
On the left is Peng Peng, on the right is Zhang Xiaoqing.
What surprised Su Zimo was not the appearance of the two ghosts, but because Zhang Xiaoqing's eyes were actually tied with a strip of cloth called "Blind Eyes", and there was a bloodstain on it, making Zhang Xiaoqing become a The figure that looked the most like a ghost at the scene.
While Peng Peng grabbed the corner of Su Zimo's clothes, as if he wanted to make a move for the shopkeeper, his eyes were almost gray.
Looking at the movements of the practitioners quickly moving away, Su Zimo can almost imagine that one day in a certain nightmare world, he encounters a wave of practitioners who think he is a ghost and a wave of practitioners who think he is a companion...
That kind of situation can also be called... Asura Field, right
"Let's go together." Another young woman came over, carefully avoiding each figure.
Although the trainee is now standing a little far away from Su Zimo, because there is no other sound in the entire nightmare world... or in other words, there is no other sound on the entire road, not even the sound of the wind, so occasionally someone can hear it very clearly.
The serious man before raised his left arm and gestured to the young woman, as if hoping that the other party could prove his identity.
"Ah!" The woman seemed to have thought of something, and said quickly, "Our mission this time is to find..."
"You can just write it in my hand." The serious man interrupted the other party's words, "If there is a ghost who wants to hide his identity when he hears our mission, he will probably use it to infiltrate us."
Hearing that person say that, Su Zimo was completely out of his mind to join the trainer.
After all, he really didn't know what the tasks of the trainers were, and the male trainer obviously had a cautiousness that Su Zimo rarely saw in the nightmare world.
But Su Zimo heard the woman say "find", combined with the environment of this nightmare world and so many seemingly irrelevant "people", Su Zimo felt that they might have to find a specific identity from so many figures The presence.
Maybe it's a specific character, maybe it's finding people, maybe it's finding ghosts...
Su Zimo pressed the umbrella down a little, covering most of his face, while Peng Peng and Xiaoqing also quietly guarded him. Ghost Umbrella will not show up in the nightmare world unless it is absolutely necessary because of his physique that is prone to hatred.
"Is it just the three of us this time?" The female voice of some age sounded a little disturbed.
"And me." A man wearing dark sunglasses in the dark night walked out from the crowd, looking a little graceful from the half of his face exposed.
The man also walked up to the serious man, and after writing a few words on his palm, he successfully joined the group of practitioners, and no one else joined after that.
That is, not long after the four people met, the figures that had been parked nearby Su Zimo all began to move one by one, and most of the "people" began to move forward at a faster or slower speed. Walk along the road that stretches to an unknown place.
But there are also some "people", like Su Zimo and the others, who stay near the practitioners, as if observing some rare treasure, which also makes Su Zimo, who stopped there and didn't move, seem less abrupt.
"According to the requirements of the mission, it is better for us to wait here for a while. After all, the 'people' here are gradually spreading out. After they are placed on the order, we will find them slowly." Although there are only four trainees, but the one who seems to be three The fourteen-year-old man with a very serious feeling had already seized power and commanded several other trainees.
"Whatever." The young man wearing sunglasses shrugged, not caring, but looked around, and finally set his eyes on Su Zimo.
When the other party looked over, Su Zimo politely smiled back.
Anyway, no one stipulates whether ghosts will laugh or not.
"Listen to you." The other two female trainers also responded, acknowledging the position of the other party's temporary leader.
Su Zimo looked at the serious man curiously again, and then accidentally found a Dawning Organization badge on his chest, which meant that the other party was a member of Dawning just like Qi Xiaomin and the others.
"You can call me Lao Yan." This serious and rigorous practitioner, who happened to be surnamed Yan, left some memories for Su Zimo.
"Do you want to hide your name?" The female trainee of some age was stunned before saying, "Then call me Sister Ling, Wang Lingling, I seem to be a little older than you."
"Hey, you really can't tell if you don't say it." The man wearing sunglasses clearly said flattering words, but his tone made people feel mocking, "You can call me Aliu."
"I'm An An." The young female trainer also hid her name, "It seems that everyone is not a novice, so this time the world of experience makes people feel more at ease. To be honest, last time in the nightmare world, I may have accidentally turned the nightmare on to…”
"It's alright, it's very common to clear the nightmare point." Aliu smiled again, and then walked straight forward, "I'll go ahead to explore the road first, and then you can rest in place."
"This..." Seeing Aliu walking forward, some practitioners were confused.
"Aliu, it's best for the experienced practitioners to act together in the nightmare world!" Lao Yan immediately wanted to stop him, but Aliu in front just waved his hand back and walked away.
"Forget it, we'll follow." Lao Yan gritted his teeth and called the other two practitioners to follow, "I can't let him be alone."
Su Zimo, who followed behind with an umbrella, also patted Peng Peng's head, and then invited Zhang Xiaoqing to follow the practitioner five or six meters behind, walking slowly.
Su Zimo found that the people in the Dawning organization seemed to like being nanny, and he didn't know if this was their standard of income.
Although the original team leader Cheng Yun was faked by a poisonous snake, the reason why he was not discovered in the early stage was because he completely imitated Cheng Yun's words and deeds, so Cheng Yun himself should also be a nanny-type experiencer.
Including Dr. Jin, who has been taking care of the little girl Wan Ling, Bai Man, who is not good at words, but who is dedicated to everyone, and Qi Xiaomin who has helped others many times in the rookie level...
If it weren't for the existence of this organization itself, it would be questionable. Su Zimo really wanted to think that the Dawning Organization was the legendary gathering of good people.
"Old Yan, those in the back... why do you keep following us?" The trainee who claimed to be Sister Ling didn't seem to have much experience, and his tone was a little panicky.
"It's alright, the requirement for this mission is to find someone, so even if most of the people around are ghosts, they won't do it without warning. After all, I've never heard of the unsolvable nightmare world."
"Heh." When Lao Yan said that, A Liu, who was walking alone in front, snorted coldly.
"However, humans shouldn't follow us so closely, so those who follow us should all be ghosts and can be excluded from the scope of choice." Lao Yan frowned because of Aliu's attitude, but continued. He walked forward with the team and explained, "The requirements for clearing the mission this time are not high. Even if we can only find one, we should be able to clear the level."
As Lao Yan and the others revealed more and more clues, Su Zimo was almost certain that their mission in this nightmare world was—
Identify and find at least one "human" among the pedestrians on this endless road.
