Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

Chapter 8: fabricated identity

Views:

Through the glass partition, Su Zimo could see the floor-to-ceiling windows in the classrooms, as well as the night and city lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He can be sure that this Deya Training Academy is located in a high-rise modern office building. Not only does the training content vary, but it also occupies a large floor space. It is also the main venue for Su Zimo's second "Nightmare World".

Every classroom around Su Zimo was lit, and he could clearly see the words that had not been erased on the blackboard and the various works half-drawn by the students in the art classroom, but every door was locked, except for A classroom in the deepest part of the corridor.

The door of the classroom with the sign "Music Classroom" was open wide, so even if the sound insulation of each training classroom was good, Su Zimo could still capture the clear sound.

Before going to the classroom, Su Zimo took off the oversized mountaineering bag with few things behind him, pulled up the specially designed hidden zipper around the mountaineering bag, and quickly shrunk the black-gray oversized mountaineering bag to one size. Circle, when carrying it on the body, there is not such a big sense of disobedience.

This is a little trick that Su Zimo discovered when he was spending time in the store.

When Su Zimo walked two meters away from the classroom, he heard a soft girl's voice: "Gao Yang, shall we close the door?"

"It's okay, this time Nightmare World has arranged an advanced task for us, and there will be no danger until the next task is issued." The voice of a young man sounded like a big boy with vigor and vitality. , "And it's a bit stuffy here, and you can't open the window. It feels a little hot when you close the door."

"You opened the door for ventilation?" Then came the voice of some immature children, "It seems that I really think highly of the IQ of you adults."

"Little devil, what did you say?!" The man named Gao Yang raised his voice in anger.

"I thought you opened the door to ensure our safety." The child was not frightened at all by the raised volume, but his voice was still very calm, "This is a nightmare world, and a closed glass door can't do anything about it. Stop Specter from entering and exiting here. On the other hand, according to the plot of the nightmare world in the past, once some doors are closed, they may not be able to be opened again. At that time, we will not be alone, and we will not even have a chance to escape?"

"… "

The others in the classroom were silent for a while, as if they could not find anything to refute the child.

"Little, little brother, I didn't expect you to be quite smart. I really underestimated you just now." The girl with a soft voice said at the beginning, "My name is Cheng Jingmeng, and I'm Gao Yang's teammate."

"Hello, sister, my name is Peng Peng."

Standing not far away, Su Zimo gained three names and two notable places.

One notable point is that the girl named Cheng Jingmeng said she was another person's "teammate". Another point worth noting is that the boy who called himself "Peng Peng" did not say his full name, which was also an inspiration for Su Zimo.

No one has ever said the non-existent rule "No pseudonyms in Nightmare World".

"You...are seniors?" Another man's voice came from the classroom, sounding a little honest and honest, "The remaining three of us have only experienced the nightmare world once, but they will try their best not to hold back, so... So... "

The man seemed a little embarrassed to say the next words.

"Don't worry, the nightmare point of customs clearance is related to the number of survivors, so Gao Yang and I will try our best to help you." This is Cheng Jingmeng talking.

"Thank you, thank you!" After hearing Cheng Jingmeng's "guarantee", several voices expressed their thanks in unison.

"Don't treat me like a good person every time." The senior named Gao Yang muttered, "When you have the ability and encounter a crisis, don't hide behind me."

"Because you're amazing." Cheng Jingmeng's voice is like the soft and cute goddess voice selected by those boring classmates in Su Zimo's high school days. And they have only experienced the nightmare world once, and the nightmare points given by the novice world are simply not enough to offset the death penalty for failing to clear the customs, how pitiful!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Gao Yang seemed to lose his resistance to the girl's serious request.

Now Su Zimo outside heard Cheng Jingmeng's words, and remembered that Qi Xiaomin, another trainee he knew not long ago, said similar words.

Just similar.

Su Zimo wouldn't conclude that the two seniors in the music classroom were good people, after all, it was hard to guess.

This time, Su Zimo sees the difference between himself and the trainees more clearly. If he chooses not to show up in front of the trainees, he doesn't need to play the so-called clearance game with them at all, and he can even retire at any time. .

But the problem Su Zimo encountered was that at the beginning, the elevator he picked up the black umbrella was unusable like the one in the previous hotel, and the safety passage next to it could not be opened, so Su Zimo, like those who had experienced it, could only Activities on this floor.

It's just that on this floor, aside from the music classroom where the trainees gathered and the empty front desk, the glass doors are locked in other places. If Su Zimo wants to continue to buy goods, he can only continue to the music classroom.

In addition, Su Zimo's other way is to immediately go back to "remain in a corner", and then go to the next nightmare world to find a safe purchase opportunity.

If he decides to do this, Su Zimo will have to wait another forty-eight hours!

Among the words that the old man of the Su family often talks about, there is a saying called "seeking wealth and wealth in danger". Thinking of Grandpa, Su Zimo had a certain feeling that he couldn't continue to waste forty-eight hours.

So Su Zimo took a deep breath and began to think about how he would appear in front of those practitioners.

Could it be that you are an experienced person, but you are late in traffic jams on the road? No, the experiencers are too troublesome to retreat at any time...

"There seems to be someone outside the door."

As soon as his feet took a step forward, Su Zimo heard Peng Peng's childish and soft voice coming from the music classroom. You can hear the pin drop on the ground.

Su Zimo knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he rubbed his cheeks to make himself look expressionless. Although he couldn't make the mall poker face taught by the old man of the Su family, it should be barely enough.

Too strict, and sometimes it will reveal flaws in some occasions.

He stood up straight, as if he could get back the feeling that the old man of the Su family took him to the crowd when he attended the Su family dinner, and then walked in with the black-gray bag on one shoulder and the black umbrella. music classroom.

There were six people in the music classroom. A young man and a woman were sitting on the soft leather stool by the window. A good-looking boy looked curiously at the open glass door. In addition, there were three other people standing in the back, looking nervously at their left and right arms from time to time.

However, after the little boy said something was happening outside the door, everyone's eyes were focused on the direction of the door, and their expressions became alert.

They actually heard footsteps!

"This time Nightmare World released an advanced task. We have just completed the task of choosing a classroom. The second task has not been released yet, so there should be no danger." Cheng Jingmeng hid in Gao Yang. Behind him, he whispered a few words to himself, as if to comfort himself not to be afraid.

As the footsteps approached, everyone suspected that a terrifying-looking Specter would appear in the music classroom in an instant, suspecting that the real nightmare world was about to come...

But at this time, a completely strange young man appeared in front of everyone.

The face of the other party not only does not have any traces of ghosts, but also has excellent facial features and temperament. Coupled with impeccable long legs, although the other party is carrying a shoulder bag that does not match the white shirt on his body, the slender and perfect figure seems to have a unique aura, which makes people feel that the other party is from art. It's the same as coming out of the painting in the classroom.

Hmm... In the last nightmare world, when the body was stiff and embarrassed, Young Master Su didn't have the chance to show such a posture.

"Who are you? Why are you still in the classroom so late?" The person who entered the music classroom from outside while questioning seriously was of course Su Zimo, who was about to sneak into the music classroom to buy goods.

Knowing that the practitioners in front of them knew nothing about the nightmare world, Su Zimo, holding a black long-handled umbrella, looked around the classroom, turned his wrist slightly and placed the black umbrella in front of him, looking at him with a wary expression. These unfamiliar practitioners.

"We don't have an evening training class here, and I've never seen you in the classroom. You are definitely not my students. What do you want to do here? Are the lights here turned on by you?" Su Zimo didn't say When the practitioners in front of them answered, they asked a series of questions, trying to take the initiative from the very beginning.

"Isn't big brother here too?"

When most of the practitioners still didn't know Su Zimo's identity and how to respond, Peng Peng, who was standing opposite Su Zimo, opened his eyes and threw a rhetorical question.

"..." When Su Zimo saw the child, his brows loosened slightly, but he still acted cautiously and hesitantly, and then said, "I have something left in the classroom, so I came back and picked it up, only That's all."

When he said this, Su Zimo had already found his purchase target in the music classroom.

"What did you forget?" Gao Yang, who was standing near the upright piano, took Cheng Jingmeng back a step. When Su Zimo showed his vigilance, the seniors among these experienced practitioners were also guarding Su Zimo. appearance. After all, they really don't know why such a person suddenly appeared in their nightmare world!

At this moment, Su Zimo is fabricating his identity.

The practitioners need to determine the identity of Su Zimo.

"..." Su Zimo remained silent at this moment, and did not immediately respond to Gao Yang's question.

In this situation of mutual vigilance, the child Peng Peng blinked, and then showed an angry expression and said to Su Zimo: "Big brother, are you the music teacher here? We are all going to sign up for the school. For the piano, a pretty sister told us to wait here for a while, but we waited until now, it was getting dark and Peng Peng was a little scared!"

Peng Peng's response was impeccable. The way he communicated with Su Zimo was like the communication between the player character and the quest NPC character in a stand-alone game.

In the game, there must be a reasonable connection between the player and the NPC, and their conversation must also promote the development of the plot.

And Nightmare World is also a game after all, and it is not surprising that NPC characters appear. As for the "beautiful sister" that Peng Peng said... There are so many receptionists and female teachers in the training institution, it's not a flaw at all.

"Did A Ling brought you here? Why didn't she call me?" Su Zimo also pretended to be relieved when she heard Peng Peng's entry into the play, and immediately said in cooperation, "It's strange, it's not even here at night. There should be someone working overtime and on duty, why are there only a few of you on the entire floor?"

"The people here seem to have disappeared suddenly!" Gao Yang, who was standing beside him, also began to enter the play, exaggeratedly gesturing his fingers and asking Su Zimo, "Teacher, did this training institution, or in other words, have this floor ever existed before? What strange things have happened?"

Hearing Gao Yang seriously asking himself for information, Su Zimo knew that these practitioners... were caught in the trap.
