Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

Chapter 101 The matter of Lin Xiao

Hearing Jiang Wei's question about his personal mission, Lin Xiao realized that he had been quick-spoken just now, and carelessly exposed the fact that he had also received a "personal mission".

Lin Xiao couldn't help hesitating: "I... I... The personal task I received is..."

Seeing Lin Xiao's troubled expression, Jiang Wei just smiled: "It's nothing, it's not really a big deal, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to say it."

"No, I'm..." Lin Xiao looked very struggling.

Do you want to be honest, the personal mission you received was to take the lives of other people to pass the level?

But soon, Lin Xiao looked around and found that Wu Qing and his "slaves" had already left the shop, disappeared into the darkness outside the shop, and disappeared without a trace.

So at this moment, "An Yu Yi Yu" is filled with people Lin Xiao is familiar with, that is, Jiang Wei and A Yu who were locked up with her on the third floor of the teaching building for a long time.

Although Ah Yu's identity is unknown, Lin Xiao can't fake the goodwill he has gained for him all the time. Coupled with the appearance of the other party's thick thighs as a functional NPC, Lin Xiao doesn't want to treat him as an outsider.

The only one that is an outsider should be...

Lin Xiao glanced at the man standing in the dark of the shop with the strange flying lines in the corner of his eyes, and once again showed the tangled expression that Su Zimo felt familiar.

From the first time he met this female student, Su Zimo knew that Lin Xiao had a secret hidden in his heart, and it was a secret that he desperately wanted to tell others, but he was reluctant to tell it.

But now, Lin Xiao had that expression on his face again, which made Su Zimo's favorability for him drop by another three points.

Su Zimo glanced at the upright piano in the shop, and said calmly: "Don't be too nervous. If you are too nervous, you can try listening to some soothing music."

Just as the word "music" fell to the ground, the cover of the upright piano was suddenly lifted, which startled Lin Xiao who was standing by.

Then an even more astonishing picture appeared, the keys of the piano were pressed without anyone playing them, and the unfamiliar notes began to dance between the keys, and cheerful music like jumping in the rain poured out, making the original The quiet "In a Corner" has also become lively.

Peng Peng played just as Su Zimo thought, but he didn't play the messy version that made people want to vent their desires and the truth. Instead, he chose a cheerful version, based on the original one. A little adaptation makes the song that originally concealed a little sadness sway with joy and joy.

It sounded like an ordinary tune, but Su Zimo found that Lin Xiao's eyes gradually became blurred under the influence of the tune.

"Uncle Jiang Wei received such a personal task because you are a good person, uncle?" Lin Xiao said with a blank expression, his eyes were not focused, and the whole person seemed to be talking to himself, "And I will accept it." To a personal mission like that, it must be because I'm such a bad person."

Obviously Peng Peng didn't play the version with special power, but Lin Xiao still seemed to be affected.

There is only one explanation that Su Zimo can think of—"An Yu Yi Yu" is making progress, and Peng Peng, who is a clerk, is also making progress.

"I said before that the reason why I want to go back immediately is because tomorrow... No, today is the repayment day of my 'borrowed flowers', right?" Lin Xiao took a few steps back and leaned against the piano beside the piano. On the wall, "Actually, if I'm just 'borrowing flowers' to borrow money, I don't have to worry so much at all."

"In addition to the 1 yuan that can be overdrafted in 'Borrowed Flowers', I also borrowed a lot of money from those messy and even illegal financial software outside." Lin Xiao didn't even dare to look at the expressions on other people's faces.

"How much did you borrow?" Jiang Wei's voice also became a little serious.

"...One year after I entered university, I have paid back nearly 10,000 one after another, but I still have 50+ left to pay." Lin Xiao simply said it all, "Forcing to be glamorous in front of classmates and friends. I insist on being happy in front of my parents, but no one knows that I have more than [-] different money-loaning apps in my mobile phone."

"What does a student need so much money for?" Jiang Wei couldn't help but gasped.

"Except for the initial 7000 yuan, I have no use for the other money." Lin Xiao bit his lower lip.

"From more than 7000 to more than 20?" Su Zimo couldn't help but blink, "You mean, you borrowed more than 7000, but owed more than 20 in debt?"

Su Zimo has been in touch with finance for a long time, so he can calculate the terrible interest and various routines contained in it with a little calculation. He has also heard that some people were deceived because of various borrowings, but this is the first time he has seen such a real life. of.

Lin Xiao nodded and continued to say——

"My family is not particularly rich, but they will give me 2000 yuan a month for living expenses, which is considered to be at the same level among my classmates. But two of my roommates have rich families and often borrow All kinds of expensive cosmetics and skin care products for us to use."

"I don't really like borrowing other people's things. I have been spoiled by my family since I was a child. I don't like the feeling of being inferior to others. So I started to borrow money from 'borrowed flowers' and silently bought the same things as them. Skin care products and cosmetics, soon rumors started to spread in the profession that I had a good family.”

"Some lies start, and there are hundreds of lies to perfect, especially for people like me, who can't feel the sense of gap after the truth is discovered and the eyes of the students." Lin Xiao said He pinched his arm hard.

"Later, the latest fruit mobile phone went on sale. The two girls in my dormitory had been talking about it for several days and wanted to ask their family for money to replace the mobile phone they just bought during the summer vacation. They also said that there is a way to order in advance. Ask Do I want to be together?"

"My cell phone was specially bought by my family after I was admitted to university. It is also a brand with good performance and reputation on the market. It is impossible for my family to spend more than 6000 yuan to change my cell phone now. I also know that there is no need to follow them to do this. It’s a meaningless thing, but I finally couldn’t hold back and agreed to them.”

"The money in 'borrowed flowers' has already been sold out by me online. I searched for many ways online, and then I found a software for borrowing money." Lin Xiao pinched himself again, as if he could only express it once My own annoyance, "When I woke up, I had already borrowed 7000 yuan from the software, but because it would directly deduct the interest when withdrawing cash, I only got about [-] yuan."

"I spent all my money to buy a mobile phone that was not necessary at all, and I have to return 7000 yuan to the lending platform within two weeks." Lin Xiao laughed self-deprecatingly twice.

"My idea at the time was very simple, because I had to go home every other week, so I planned to secretly take out the bank card where I put the New Year's money from my parents' room after I got home, and then withdraw the money to pay back the money."

"But as soon as I got home, I found...the whole world collapsed." Lin Xiao squatted down slowly against the wall, "My mother went to the hospital for surgery during my school time, because she didn't want me to worry He didn’t tell me anything. The operation went well, and the family didn’t have no surgery fees, and because the family’s regular passbook hadn’t expired yet, the family borrowed my lucky money because they didn’t want to waste interest.”

"After returning home, my parents apologized to me. They thought it was wrong to do this without discussing with me, so they discussed with each other to withdraw the unexpired deposit and return it to me."

"I don't know what I'm thinking... Seeing my parents' apologetic expressions, my mother's weak face after the operation, and their care to hide my illness so that I can study with peace of mind, it's really true. Makes me speechless about wanting them to take the money out."

"So I rejected their proposal, saying that I had enough money on my body, and I didn't need to use the lucky money I saved for anything. In the end, I could only run away under the comforting eyes of theirs... "

"The time left for me to repay the loan is less than two weeks. I am desperately looking for various daily jobs, hoping to earn more money to pay back, but two weeks... how is it possible?!"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao's voice was already crying.

"In the last few days of the loan repayment period, the customer service of the money-loaning software has been urging me to pay back the money. After the other party knew that I couldn't afford so much money, he introduced me to another money-loaning software. Let me go there and borrow money to return them this platform, tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall.”

"I don't want to go this way, but the customer service said that if they don't pay back the money by the time, they will immediately call the family, friends, classmates and others in my address book to remind everyone I know Know that I borrowed money and didn't pay back!"

"This kind of thing... how can I accept it?"

"At first I thought it was just a scare, but I found out it was true after I searched the Internet. There are even many news reports about this kind of thing." Lin Xiao's breath became anxious, "After confirming, I don't I downloaded the software recommended by the customer service without much thought.”

"I originally only planned to borrow 7000 yuan from another software, but that software would deduct two weeks of interest in advance like the original one, so I ended up borrowing more than 8000 yuan in order to repay the loan. I reluctantly repaid the money.”

"But I didn't feel relaxed at all... because my debts have increased again."

"Every time I borrow money, it takes two weeks or a week. It is impossible for people to pay off the debt. Every time I pay off the debt, the customer service will recommend a new software to me... The software in my phone is getting worse and worse. Too many, the ridiculous thing is that the customer service of several softwares is actually the same person, and only then did I realize that I had already fallen into a routine scam.”

"But even if you know, it's useless. I absolutely don't allow other people to know that I borrowed money from the Internet to make a living." Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "For the next year or so, I lived an unhuman life just to save money. life."

"I buy the cheapest milk powder and put it in a jar. Every morning when they eat breakfast, I secretly soak some. I only put a little bit of it in the hot water each time to make the hot water turn white. I lie to them that it is the latest milk diet method. Lunch is only from the cafeteria. Buy the cheapest vegetables, drink plain water before eating for the sake of losing weight, eat like chewing wax!"

"For a while, because I couldn't stand this kind of life, I lied about moving out, but in fact I found a night shift job in a restaurant far away from the school. I started working at seven in the evening and finished at eleven. After the restaurant is closed, I sleep on the floor of the store."

"At the same time, I also borrowed a tutoring job, and went to the students' homes to tutor and went to work in the restaurant after school."

"Although I'm tired, my monthly income is more than my dad's salary, and there are still enough meals to eat every night."

"During the winter vacation and summer vacation, I simply told my family that I had to stay in school for something, and found another temporary job in a place where other students could not go."

"Just half the school year, I saved more than [-] yuan, and put it all into those bottomless pits that eat people without spit out their bones!"

"Ahhh! If I hadn't pretended to be rich, if I hadn't bought that cell phone!"

Su Zimo was also a little emotional when he heard this. A girl who put herself into a loan scam for a mobile phone worth thousands of dollars actually relied on her own strength to save 10 yuan by working part-time in less than a year.

The gap between before and after is really shocking.

"But this semester, when I was working in the back kitchen of that restaurant, I bumped into a few classmates I knew, although I quickly avoided them, and when I saw them in school, they didn't seem to notice it at all. But I just couldn't fall asleep for several nights, so I resigned as soon as I gritted my teeth."

"Without the restaurant job, I can only go back to the dormitory again. My funds began to turn over for a while. The number of those loans is increasing day by day. Tomorrow is my next repayment date. With a good amount of money, this matter can no longer be hidden.”

Lin Xiao covered his face: "Before entering the nightmare world, I have been begging me to be the hostess of the family where the tutor is, hoping that she can advance some money for me in case of emergency."

"I begged for a long time before she let go...but the next second I came to this ghost place!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but burst out in pain.

After a while, Lin Xiao broke down in tears and continued to say: "The advance tutoring fee should have been paid in, but there is no internet in Nightmare World. I can only pay back the money after I leave here!"

"But if it's later... If it's later, everyone will know that I borrowed the money, and nothing can be hidden!"

"If this is the case, what is the life I have lived this year that is worse than death! What is it!!!!"

Uncle Jiang Wei said with a look of resentment: "You did something wrong in the first place! The software you downloaded is simply usury. They are defrauding you of money. You can report the crime with evidence. Why are you so stupid? Mistake again and again!"

"If you go to report the case, won't everyone know about it?" Lin smiled with tears all over his face.

Su Zimo could see that, in the eyes of this sophomore girl, face seems to be more important than life, which is why she behaved so abnormally when she was trapped in the classroom.

"I know I'm a fool, I'm a bad person! That's why Nightmare World gave me such a personal task." Lin Xiao crouched in a corner, and buried half of himself, "This Nightmare World seems to know that I'm in a hurry to As if rushing back, the personal task it arranged for me is..."

"Every time a fellow practitioner is removed, the task progress of a supernatural event can be deducted." Lin Xiao's voice was muffled, "The worst thing about me is that I really think about doing this task in the past, but people like me I don't even have a way to get rid of others, and I didn't even find out when I took a knife that I didn't even have the ability to get rid of myself."

Peng Peng's song "Musical Score of the Dead" is still going on, and Lin Xiao seems to be under the influence of Peng Peng's special power, and he has said something that he has been crazily wanting to tell but no one dared to tell.

After finishing speaking, he continued to cry and vent.

It was hard for Su Zimo to imagine this feeling, and he would not comment on such things.

He said to Wu Qing a long time ago that "everyone has the freedom to do everything, just don't try to control what others think of you", so his thoughts are not important to Lin Xiao.

"The matter has come to this, and we can only take one step at a time." Jiang Wei is obviously not good at comforting others, "Wu Qing and the others may have almost completed the task, you can go back and do what you want to do, or you can choose... Back to shore."

Lin Xiao still curled up there crying, not answering.

The sound of the piano also gradually stopped, and he retired.

Su Zimo seemed to be able to see a translucent figure of a boy making an "OK" gesture to himself.

"It shouldn't be that fast." Su Zimo also glanced outside the store and then at Jiang Wei, "Don't you want to know which item I will recommend to you?"

Only then did Jiang Wei come to his senses, remembering what he had forgotten just now.He had always remembered the terms Su Zimo and him exchanged, but later he was immersed in Lin Xiao's depressing story and couldn't remember it for a while.

"At first, I only thought that this prop fit Mr. Jiang's personality. Now that I have contacted Mr. Jiang's personal tasks, I feel that this prop is more suitable for you." Su Zimo picked up the kitchen paper behind the counter, walked over and handed it to him. After giving Lin a smile, he walked to the few items that were still left on the second shelf.
