Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

The candles in the hall were momentarily blown by the wind.

Although the candle was not completely extinguished, at least for a short period of one second, the light of the candle dimmed instantly, and the sudden change of ambient light made Su Zimo feel uncomfortable when he blinked.

At this time, Su Zimo was standing in front of the long dining table. Except for the practitioner who claimed to be a lunatic lying on the sofa, the other nine practitioners were standing beside or opposite Su Zimo.

The moment the candle light dimmed, Su Zimo was suddenly frightened...

He suddenly saw that the ordinary or kind practitioners around him suddenly changed their appearance. Because the light was too dark, Su Zimo couldn't see their appearance clearly, but their hairstyle, body shape and even their clothes were different from what he saw a second ago !

"what!"

"What the hell!"

"Who!"

In the next second, the cold wind in the hall disappeared, and the dimmed candlelight returned to its original bright state again. Every trainee around the dining table still looked the same, unchanged, what Su Zimo just said The strange image seen seems to be just a hallucination.

However, apart from Su Zimo, other trainees also showed terrified expressions on their faces.

"What's the matter? I just saw that Mr. Fang Qin seems to have changed." Standing between Mr. Fang Qin and Su Zimo was Du Xin, who scratched his head inexplicably, "It seems that he has gained a lot of weight."

"Is there?" Qi Xiaomin, who was standing on the other side, looked ignorant, "Did you read it wrong?"

"I saw it too." The old man Fang Qin's face also darkened, "The old man saw that the faces of these people on the opposite side are a little different from before."

"Hmm..." Wan Ling, the little girl hiding beside Doctor Jin, responded softly, "Doctor, it's different..."

"We were arranging the food just now, but we didn't pay attention to these aspects. It's too bad." Cheng Yun looked at the several trainees with different expressions, as if annoyed that he had missed a very important clue.

After all, the second requirement of the mission is to "find a chance of life", which means that what they have to do is not only to escape and kill the enemy, but also to find all possible clues.

"Since it happened once, it might happen a second time. After all, we don't know what the matter just now means." Su Zimo thought about this, and asked again, "Brother Xiaohuo, you lit the candle here." ?"

Because Xiaohuo has been playing with the lighter in his hand, when Su Zimo first saw so many candles lit in the hall, he subconsciously thought that it should be lit by the trainees who arrived earlier.

"How is it possible? We found these candles lit as soon as we came out of the room." As he spoke, Xiaohuo also showed off the tattered-looking lighter in his hand, "And mine is not an ordinary lighter, no It can be lighted anywhere."

Su Zimo also nodded secretly. If he remembers correctly, the lighter in Xiaohuo's hand is called "the lighter on the spot". In other words, it is a good prop that can force ghosts out and solve them with combat.

"Actually, I really want to use this lighter. Maybe if I'm lucky, I can lure the ghost out at once. But I'm afraid that a big guy who can wipe out our group will come suddenly this time, so I hold back." While muttering, Xiaohuo changed the lighter to play with.

"Calm down, everyone. The time in the nightmare world may only be a few seconds to the outside world, but for us in the nightmare world, it is actually five full days. We need to plan a lot of things." Cheng Yun As he said that, he acted as if he had forgotten what happened just now, and started sorting the food on the table with Bai Man.

Su Zimo also placed the broken vase he found from the corner of the stairs, then took off the backpack behind him, reached through the two items he found in the cabinet in the bedroom on the third floor, and put the chocolate and drinking water underneath Take it out.

Compared with other people who have one or two bottles of two or three hundred milliliters of drinking water in stock, Su Zimo can actually take out four bottles of one liter of drinking water from his seemingly empty backpack. Calculate the characteristics of weight.

"It should be enough." Cheng Yun took a special look at Su Zimo's backpack, and then smiled at everyone, "Bai Man will handle the logistical matters, everyone should take a good rest first."

Su Zimo took advantage of this moment to look around. Just now, he only noticed the dilapidated hall and the bright candles. Now he found that the villa itself has doors and floor-to-ceiling windows, but all the doors and windows are the same as before. Like the second floor of the building, it was nailed to death with a mixture of wooden and iron bars.

A few wooden bars near them seemed to have been pried. Obviously, Cheng Yun and the others had tried hard to escape from the villa before, but they finally gave up due to various circumstances.

The villa is airtight, there is no light source other than candles, and it is not even known whether it is day or night outside the villa.

The living room full of damaged furniture didn't seem to have any commodities, but the whole villa is huge and has many rooms, so Su Zimo believes that there must be something he wants in some corners of this villa.It's just... because everyone is gathered in the hall, if Su Zimo leaves without a reason, he will definitely attract very bad attention.

"Du Xin." At this time, Dr. Jin suddenly took a note and asked Du Xin, "You just said that when the candles dimmed, you saw Mr. Fang gain weight?"

"Yeah, but I don't know if it's a hallucination." Du Xin nodded.

"It's okay, I'll record all the details first." Dr. Jin said, then went to find Wan Ling and Mr. Fang Qin, and wrote down all the details that they could still remember.

Although Su Zimo also saw some, but because he didn't make a sound just now, Jin Lei didn't notice it.

"Everyone, take it easy." Qi Xiaomin on the side may feel that the atmosphere is a bit heavy, so he opened the chairs for the trainees standing there stiffly, and kindly asked them to sit down, then jumped to Du Xin's side, and took a picture. She touched his shoulder and said, "Du Xin, Su Zimo is your old classmate, right?"

Hearing the topic suddenly shifted to himself, Su Zimo, who had just sat down on the creaking chair, was also taken aback.

"Yes." Du Xin's ears suddenly turned red.

"Then what was Mr. Su like when he was in school?" Qi Xiaomin looked curious, "Du Xin, you don't know, when we did the task together in the nightmare world last time, Mr. Su was really kind!"

"Zimo was the most popular person in school at that time, right?" Du Xin glanced at Su Zimo beside him, "After all, he is good-looking, and he is still the top student in every exam." , this should be the legendary school grass, right? Even students from other schools will sneak outside the fence of our school playground just to see how good-looking Su Zimo is in the legendary Shoushan No. [-] Middle School .”

"Ahem." This is actually the first time Su Zimo has heard of such an exaggeration. After all, he was sent to Shoushan No. [-] Middle School by his grandfather, which can only be regarded as part of the social classes arranged by his grandfather.And because his grandfather arranged too many other courses for Su Zimo, he often did some other courses arranged by his grandfather after class and in physical education class, and even deserted during class, and he didn't communicate well with his surrounding classmates at all.

Except for Du Xin, an impressive boy who killed Matt, there were not too many classmates who could be remembered by Su Zimo.

"Zimo, after four years, is still almost perfect in the eyes of our old classmates." Du Xin said with emotion.

"There is no perfect person in this world..." The lunatic lying on the sofa beside him said with emotion.

"Indeed." Su Zimo said with a smile, "No matter what, I'm just a newcomer who doesn't even have a nightmare point. Maybe even little sister Wan Ling is better than me."

Wan Ling, who was hiding behind the doctor, poked her head out and looked at Su Zimo curiously with wide eyes.

"Who didn't start as a rookie?" Qi Xiaomin gave Du Xin another look, "Du Xin, is it true that Su Zimo was so perfect in high school?"

"Well..." Du Xin thought for a while, "The only thing that makes people feel regretful is that he suddenly transferred to another school without saying a word in the third year of high school, right? At that time, even the head teacher didn't know the news of his transfer. Everyone I feel very sorry.”

"Sorry." All Su Zimo could do was smile and hand Du Xin a candy.

"Actually, our classmates were very angry at that time." Du Xin quickly took the candy, "We always thought that you must have encountered something serious, such as the sudden transfer of your parents' job, so you had to transfer. But It's really annoying that some good guys spread rumors everywhere!"

"rumor?"

"They..." Du Xin said, seeing people around him looking at him curiously, he didn't dare to say it out loud for a while, but moved closer to Su Zimo, and said in a low voice, "They actually said you You dropped out of school and went to work, and said that you never participated in social practice activities, never participated in private gatherings and dinners, and never even invited everyone to dinner on birthdays because the family was almost in trouble, so you had to give up your studies and go to work.”

Except for Qi Xiaomin, who was next to the trainee, who heard the general idea, the others didn't hear it very clearly.

On the other hand, Su Zimo was a little dumbfounded after hearing this.

He never thought that he would have such an image in the eyes of some classmates. After all, every time Su Zimo recalled his high school days, he always felt that his classmates were quite friendly when they talked to him.

It is indeed Su Zimo's fault for not participating in social practice activities, but at that time Su Zimo was actually a little rebellious under the high-pressure teaching of his grandfather, so even if his grandfather asked him to go, he still chose to stay at home to study, Contrary to grandpa.Unlike his grandfather gone now, Su Zimo wished to be beaten from one end of the Su family to the other by his grandfather with a stick every day.

As for private gatherings, the relationship between Su Zimo and every classmate is mediocre, which can be regarded as a place of failure.

And for the birthday party every year, Su Zimo's grandfather made invitations for each of his classmates, but Su Zimo felt that making a fuss out of a molehill was a big deal, so he refused.But because he knew that classmates had the habit of treating each other on birthdays, Su Zimo specially asked the chef of the Su family to prepare ice cream cakes and desserts for the classmates... These things may have been forgotten long ago.

"Who knows." Su Zimo smiled speciously.

Because Qi Xiaomin's topic changed, Su Zimo could feel that the surrounding atmosphere had indeed calmed down a bit. Cheng Yun and Bai Man on the opposite side also started to discuss softly, and some even played Lianliankan on their mobile phones.

On the other hand, Dr. Jin, resting his chin in one hand and holding a pen in the other, kept looking at the notes on the dining table and thinking about something.

"Captain Cheng." Thinking of the photos he saw in his wallet before, Su Zimo thought for a while and asked, "Do you know of any way to remove the slave mark?"

"..."

As soon as Su Zimo said these words, all the trainees who knew the "slave mark" all looked over, and the atmosphere in the hall was silent again.

"Why do you ask this question, don't you..." Cheng Yun was a little surprised.

"No, I met a girl when I experienced the first nightmare world. That girl used to...well, she helped me, but because she was tricked into binding the slave mark when she was a newcomer, so It has been very painful." When Su Zimo was speaking, he had been paying attention to Cheng Yun's expression.

If Cheng Yun and Cheng Jingmeng really have any relationship.

So with Cheng Yun's qualifications of having experienced the nightmare world more than a dozen times, couldn't he discover the connection between Cheng Jingmeng and the nightmare world?Su Zimo not only felt that if Cheng Jingmeng could know that there was such a practitioner by her side, she might not have been kept in the dark by Gao Yang's lies.

So what is the relationship between these two people who will take pictures together and put the photos in their wallets?

Su Zimo subconsciously felt that Cheng Yun and Cheng Jingmeng should be siblings, but this couldn't explain why Cheng Yun said that the person in the photo was his lover just now...

"This is really a troublesome thing. Newcomers really need to be more careful about unknown things." Cheng Yun sighed, looking helpless.

"Speaking of which, that girl happens to have the same surname as Captain Cheng." Su Zimo stared at Cheng Yun, "Her name is Cheng Jingmeng."

"Really? That's really a coincidence. If we knew each other, we wouldn't let such a bad thing happen. After all, I haven't seen a way to get rid of that kind of thing except death." Cheng Yun sighed Expressed regret, but did not show a special reaction to the name "Cheng Jingmeng".

Cheng Yun... Really don't know Cheng Jingmeng?

"Snapped!"

Suddenly a sound came, and Su Zimo saw Bai Man who was checking the phone in his hand. For some reason, he suddenly dropped the phone on the table. This woman who was always calm and neat suddenly looked at him with wide eyes. , The hand that was holding the phone was still shaking.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yun frowned.

"It's nothing." Bai Man picked up the phone quickly, then lowered her head and continued to arrange the things on the table on the phone, "I think it's a pity for that little girl."

Su Zimo looked at the calm Cheng Yun, and then at the white tendril that showed a little panic but concealed it for some reason. The lines of thought in his brain began to connect with each other, and a very special idea came from his mind. Out of the depths.

Qi Xiaomin once said before that Bai Man and Cheng Yun knew each other, and judging from the relationship just now, the two clearly showed a state of familiarity with each other.If Cheng Yun had a younger sister named Cheng Jingmeng, Bai Man would probably know her.

Then, the reason for Bai Man's surprise may be the same as Su Zimo... to find out that Cheng Yun doesn't know Cheng Jingmeng?

In other words, at this moment, Cheng Yun, who is sitting opposite Su Zimo and next to Bai Man, doesn't know Cheng Jingmeng!Su Zimo remembered that Qi Xiaomin said before that there are some props that can change people's appearance in the nightmare world, and they are in the hands of some dangerous trainees.

Could it be that Captain Cheng Yun was pretended to be?

Because many people know Cheng Yun's title of "wife-loving madman", and because they don't know the information about other members of Cheng Yun's family, the other party who has this information subconsciously thinks that the woman taking a photo with Cheng Yun is Cheng Yun's lover?

Bai Man's behavior at the moment seems to be pretending to be calm in order not to startle the snake.

if it is real……

Su Zimo's chest tightened, and he felt that it was not an exaggeration to say that these trainees were facing internal and external troubles!
