Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

After arranging everything, the butler took the family doctor and the maid and they left the dining table, leaving a complete banquet and silence.

The atmosphere of silence lasted for a long time, so long that Su Zimo also felt that something was wrong.

Even the light and shadow in the picture in the mirror flowed, as if another day or even two days had passed beforehand.

[Ahhh——! ]

After the clock in the picture stopped spinning again, the maid’s scream pierced the silence, and then there was a burst of pleading: [Don’t, don’t, I regret it, I really don’t want to die, I’m still young! ]

[We can try again, let's smash the roof!Let's dig tunnels, we can do anything!Take the medicine away! ]

[We have no food, what else can we do if we don't die?Do you want to be solved by me now?Or starve yourself to death bit by bit? !Why, why don't people from this family come to see that old man on better days!If this family can come and look at the old man, they can find us, we can live, and blame us for taking this job that no one cares about! ]

[Run!The fat man went crazy, he rushed over with a kitchen knife! ]

[what? ! ]

[It's different from what you said, run away...]

[Woo——Where can I escape, I will fight with him! ]

[No! ]

[boom!boom! ]

The sound from the mirror was chaotic. Su Zimo even tried to touch the mirror, but found that the mirror was still a mirror. He could not interfere with the screams and the sound of things breaking in the mirror, because what the mirror recorded was only the past. Some things that have happened can no longer be changed.

"It seems that you don't need to do anything, the old man, everything is over." Su Zimo glanced at the ghostly old man in the wheelchair beside him, "It's a pity that the banquet ended before it even started, so you must always think about it in your heart, old man." ?”

The old man patted the armrest of the wheelchair and seemed to be responding very calmly, but two red tears flowed from his eyes.

Although the old man was unable to speak, Su Zimo seemed to be able to feel that revenge was not the main reason why the old man turned into a ghost with his obsession. On only one day a year, he can return to the villa.

If they can come back to the villa as promised, they will find the sealed villa, and maybe the old man will open the closed villa.In this way, they will find the butler who has fallen into madness, find the old man imprisoned on the second floor, know everything from the criminals, and finally take them out alive to stand trial. This may be the ending that the old man wants to see the most .

But in the end, the door of the villa did not open on the agreed date.

[I don't know the meaning of the baby's babbling, but it's like pearls falling on a jade plate, very pleasant. ]

[The baby can't recognize it yet, but its eyes are like a full moon shimmering, clean and bright. ]

These two sentences are what the old man wrote in "Notes on the Lonely Mountain · Postscript". The old man gave love to his beloved granddaughter. Even though Pingting was still in her infancy at that time, she was already regarded as a treasure by the old man.

But when the old man loses his language ability and can only babble indistinctly, when the old man has difficulty distinguishing between things and people, and often does wrong things, it becomes a trouble that people feel can't be avoided.

Su Zimo no longer looked at the picture in the mirror, because the door of the villa will be opened one day, but no matter when that day comes, it will be too late.

Su Zimo turned sideways to bid farewell to the old man in the wheelchair, but found that the old man Li Gui suddenly disappeared and appeared next to the head of the table. He stretched out his dry hand tremblingly, and touched the gray Teddy sitting on the head of the table. Xiong, then stared at Su Zimo's direction with a pair of black hole eyes.

[Ahhh——]

The old man babbled to Su Zimo, as if he wanted to say something.

"Do you want me to take this thing away?" Su Zimo asked carefully, so the old man withdrew his hand and continued to sit there calmly.

Su Zimo walked over from the other side of the dining table and picked up the gray teddy bear on the chair. The old man still didn't move.But when Su Zimo wanted to pick up another gift - the white lace princess dress, a thin hand stopped Su Zimo's movement.

The old man’s body didn’t seem to be in control, especially his fingers, so he worked hard for a long time, and then leaning on the support of the armrest of the wheelchair, he hooked his wrist into the white princess dress, moved his arm little by little, and lifted the little white skirt vigorously. Hooked into his arms, very hard.

"If I am lucky enough to meet Ms. Pingting, I will remember to return this gift to her." Su Zimo could see that the old man seemed to want to keep this dress. He was left alone.

[Ho. ]

The old man didn't know what he thought of, but he just hooked his skirt like this and let out a laugh.

During those four years when he couldn't control his body, Su Zimo would occasionally wake up wondering whether the old man who lacked his company would look at the words he wrote or read when he was bored. The book is in a daze, will he think of the stupidity he committed in the past, and occasionally chuckle.

Su Zimo suddenly wanted to go back to accompany his grandfather, to talk to him halfway up the mountain.

"I go first."

The ghost's stare will not affect Su Zimo's opening the door behind him, but when Su Zimo opened the door behind him and started to back away, he found that the old man next to the main seat was not looking at him either. Just staring at the mirror directly in front of him with a pair of black hole eyes.

[happybirthdaytome, happybirthdaytome... Hahahahaha, grandpa, I like you the most! ]

When Su Zimo retreated through the door, he could still hear children's singing and laughter coming from the mirror.

Immerse the whole person in the darkness, and after Su Zimo took another step back, he found that he had returned to the bright Anyu Yiyu shop. He didn't know if he had been immersed in the nightmare world for too long. For a moment, Su Zimo even I feel that the surrounding environment is a little strange.

Moreover, there is an inexplicable singing sound... No, it is the noise that surrounds An Yu's shop.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to pig! Oh, I like you fierce and beautiful, I like you strong and sweet, I like you, and I can see the most beautiful scenery with you! "

"..." As soon as he turned around, Su Zimo was stunned, because he saw that idiot Guisan was holding a rolled up book as a microphone, standing next to the upright piano in the store with his back to him Howling ghosts and wolves uttered goosebumps and inexplicable words no matter how they sounded.

Although you can't see the face, judging from the hoarse voice, you should be quite engaged.

In fact, Su Zimo knew that Mr. Guisan should be singing, but this unworldly non-human may not know what singing is.After all, it was the first time Su Zimo heard someone sing a birthday song that didn't look like a birthday song at all, and every word was not sung in tune, so it can't be called singing, it can only be regarded as shouting indiscriminately.

The problem is that it's not just Guisan who is messing around, even the kid Peng Peng, who has never shown up in the store, is sitting in front of the piano to... accompany him.

Moreover, the tone of the accompaniment completely fits the Ghost Umbrella's howling ghosts and howling wolves.

To put it simply, no matter how bad Gui Umbrella sings, Peng Peng plays according to his tune.

Are these two suffocated because they were locked in the store for too long?

"Ahem, Peng Peng, as a musician, you have to practice like this frequently so that your sense of rhythm can continue to improve." Guisan and Peng Peng both turned their backs to the direction of the side door, so they were particularly engrossed. Discover the return of Su Zimo.

"Humans often use 'god' and 'devil' to describe people who have honed certain skills to the extreme, such as sword god and sword demon, qin god and qin demon, and the singing voice of this umbrella is often dubbed a magic voice by other ghosts They said that this is the highest evaluation of singing skills, so as long as you can keep up with my rhythm, you will be able to improve rapidly." Guisan patted Peng Peng's small shoulder seriously.

"Ghost Umbrella, don't bully Peng Peng." Su Zimo couldn't help but hide his face. How bad is the singing that can be disliked by Li Gui?

Hearing Su Zimo's voice, the ghost umbrella with his back turned to him immediately turned his head, and then Su Zimo found that the ghost umbrella who was originally pale but had always had rosy lips, but now he didn't know why even his lips were smeared. Pale, even a little chapped?

Even the eyes are a little pitiful...

After taking a closer look, Su Zimo also found that Guisan's legs were trembling while leaning on the upright piano.

"How long have you been standing here singing?" Su Zimo's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Su Zimo knows that the passage of time in the nightmare world is different from that in the real world. Some practitioners have said before that no matter how long the time in the nightmare world passes, it is only a blink of an eye in the real world.

However, Su Zimo found that not only the cooldown time for him to enter the nightmare world is different from other experiencers, but even every time he returns from the nightmare world, the time seems to go forward a little bit.

"Not too long, about three to ten minutes." Guisan supported his old waist, looking a little tired.

"Big Brother!" After Peng Peng jumped off the piano bench, he threw himself on Su Zimo, and said with a smile on his face, "Uncle Ghost Umbrella is amazing, it's obviously the same song, but every time he sings Rhythm and melody are completely different, especially testing the adaptability of the accompaniment!"

Su Zimo originally thought that Ghost Umbrella was embarrassing Peng Peng's little friend, but when he saw Ghost Umbrella standing there with pale lips and trembling legs, still supporting his old waist, he looked exhausted, and then saw Peng Peng's ruddy complexion and happy smile. For a while, he couldn't tell who was tossing whom.

"Uncle Ghost Umbrella, can you sing it again? I think I can continue to improve, and even feel that I will be able to break through the bottleneck soon! Oh my god, Uncle Ghost Umbrella is really good!" Peng Peng hugged Su Zi Mo, he didn't forget to turn his head and wink at Guisan.

"Really? I just said that I'm very good!" Guisan said and tried to support his body again, like a 90-year-old veteran desperately carrying a gun on the battlefield.

"Uncle, you look tired." Peng Peng tilted his head.

"Uncle is fine." Guisan said, and suddenly covered his mouth and coughed forcefully, "Ahem, cough, cough!"

"what!"

What Su Zimo and Peng Peng didn't expect was that a puddle of red blood appeared on the palm of Guisan's loosened palm after coughing!

"Uncle Ghost Umbrella!" Peng Peng let go of Su Zimo's thigh, and came to Ghost Umbrella with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry, did Peng Peng ask you to practice with me for too long?"

Do non-humans cough up blood too?Su Zimo also tilted his head blankly.

Then, I saw Guisan's pale face suddenly showing an unusually kind smile, stroking Peng Peng's hair and saying: "In terms of age, I am your grandfather, if you can, can you call me grandpa?" ? As long as I can make my good grandson smile, as long as I can hear my good grandson call me grandpa, grandpa will do anything willingly... Ahhh, you bite me!"

"You're not my grandfather! You want to take advantage of me! Shame!" Peng Peng took a bite of the arm holding the umbrella, then jumped back a few steps and made a grimace by the way.

"It's not you, the brat, who made the first move and deliberately tormented me for so long!" In a blink of an eye, the tired and old look on Guisan's face was gone, and even the color of his lips returned to the original rosy luster, and he returned it by the way. Peng Peng made a grimace.

"Crack!"

Su Zimo took out the oversized gardening scissors named "Broken Ghost" from his backpack, half-closed his eyes and opened and closed the two childish ghosts in front of him a few times, and was very satisfied to see the two children who were "settled in a corner" The veteran-level existence obediently closed its mouth.

"Welcome home, Boss!" Ghost Umbrella who came forward seemed to remember his current status as a shop steward, but quickly saluted in a dignified way, "I haven't seen you in half an hour, I really miss you."

"Big brother, welcome home!" Peng Peng also stood behind the ghost umbrella and poked his head out, giving Su Zimo a fly.

"I'm back." Although the two veterans in the store always felt a bit uneasy, when Su Zimo saw them and saw "An Yu Yi Yu", he finally relaxed completely.

"Boss, this seems to be a ghost weapon? I saw that you have gained a lot in the nightmare world." Ghost Umbrella glanced at the extremely sharp double blades of "Broken Ghost", and instantly saw that it possessed something more powerful than sharp the power of.

Su Zimo smiled, opened the backpack and took out "Notes of the Lonely Mountain · Postscript (three-star)" and "Old Confused Crutches (to be repaired)", as well as the "holy water (two-star)" dropped by the poisonous snake They took out the "Nightmare brand sleeping pills (two-star)" and the gray teddy bear that the old man promised to take away, and filled the small counter with Broken Ghost.

"Boss, have you gone to collect the scraps?" Glancing at the things on the counter, although Ghost Umbrella knows a lot about ghost weapons, it doesn't see the real function of these things, so it can only look at Su Zimo with some doubts .

Ghost Umbrella's sinister face, which is full of evil spirits, is quite attractive when he is confused.

"I think it's pretty good." Su Zimo glanced at his harvest with satisfaction, and then looked at the store door that was still closed and unable to open, "In this way... A Yu Yu Yu, we can open the business gone."
