Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

Some people will dream of a road in their dreams.

Straight ahead, the endless road, it seems that no matter how you walk, you can't reach the end of the road, let alone know where this road leads to.

The road that Su Zimo saw was a four-lane road that seemed to cross the darkness. The width was about the same as the road outside the Jiangdu shop, but there was no sidewalk, only a straight road that looked endless in the dark On both sides of the road, there are only ordinary and cheap metasequoia trees pointing straight at the sky, and dim street lights that appear only after a long distance.

Su Zimo, who had just entered the nightmare world, was standing at the beginning of the road, with dim street lights beside him, and a bottomless cliff behind him.

Because there were many people standing beside Su Zimo when he entered the nightmare world, he thought he would have to join the team of trainees again this time, but after he saw the surrounding situation clearly, he found... Too many people!

There are ordinary-looking office workers, young mothers pushing baby carriages, walking barefoot and wearing white skirts with their heads bowed, middle school students carrying schoolbags, benign-looking elderly people, and workers who have not yet washed off the dust. , and even saw a weirdo wearing a white mask pushing a big cart.

Su Zimo made a rough calculation, and there were forty or fifty people standing on the cliff!

Are these all trainees?

"Excuse me, are you all trainees?" A flustered woman in business attire suddenly turned around and asked Su Zimo. Although the makeup was appropriate, she could still feel that she was not young from the lines that could not be concealed at 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 an accusing tone: "Don't talk casually, don't you see the task on the left arm? The man standing here But few are experiencers, don't ask for trouble!"

"But I think that gentleman should be a trainee, so..." the woman said, and looked at Su Zimo together with the man, as if waiting for his response.

Su Zimo's thoughts passed quickly. Although he didn't know what the mission of this nightmare world was, most of the figures standing on the cliff were probably not human beings.

In other words, as long as he doesn't admit it, he doesn't have to join the team of experiencers. Instead, he can... try to be a bystander?

With such thoughts in mind, Su Zimo did not respond to the two trainees.

[Umbrella open, if you want to pretend to be non-human, you have to look a little non-human. ] The voice of the ghost umbrella suddenly rang in Su Zimo's ear.

Open the umbrella?Pretending to be someone with an umbrella on a sunny 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 a voice chuckled in Su Zimo's ear: [I said, this black umbrella itself is a The ghost device, it is like a storage grid with the appearance of an umbrella, which allows people to travel with ghosts.Before leaving, I also brought out the sheet music and my mobile phone. ]

Traveling with ghosts?

Su Zimo opened the black umbrella in front of the two trainees with a half-knowledge, and then felt a gust of cold wind blowing by, the eyes of the two trainees in front of him instantly widened, and they turned around in a hurry go.

And from the corner of Su Zimo's eyes, he could also see a boy on his left wearing a white bunny coat and a furry rabbit ear hood, and on his right was a boy wearing a white flowing dress and wearing loose balls head girl.

On the left is Peng Peng, and 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 tied with the cloth strip called "The Eyes of the Blind", and there was a trace of blood on it, making Zhang Xiaoqing into a ghost. The presence looked most like a ghostly figure.

While Peng Peng was grabbing the corner of Su Zimo's clothes, he showed almost gray eyes as if he wanted to make a show for the shop owner.

Watching those trainees moving away quickly, Su Zimo could almost imagine that one day in a nightmare world, he would meet a wave of trainees who thought he was a ghost and a wave of trainees who thought he was a companion at the same time...

That kind of situation can also be called... Shura field, right?

"Let's go together." Another young woman came over, carefully avoiding every figure.

Although the trainee is standing a little far away from Su Zimo, because there is no other sound on the entire nightmare world... or the entire road, not even the sound of the wind, so occasionally someone speaks very clearly .

The serious man raised his left arm and gestured to the young woman, as if hoping that she could prove his identity.

"Ah!" The woman seemed to have thought of something, and said hastily, "Our task this time is to find..."

"You can just write in my palm." The serious man interrupted the other party, "If there are ghosts who want to hide their identities and hear about our mission, they will probably use this to get in among us."

Hearing what the man said, Su Zimo completely gave up on joining the trainees.

After all, he really didn't know what the tasks of the trainees were, and the male trainee obviously had the caution 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 insignificant "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 a person, maybe it's finding a ghost...

Su Zimo lowered the umbrella a little, covering most of his face, while Peng Peng and Xiao Qing also stood beside him quietly.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?" Some older female voices sounded a little uneasy.

"And me." Out of the crowd came out another man wearing a pair of dark sunglasses in the dark night. From the exposed half of his face, he looked a bit delicate and elegant.

The man also walked up to the serious man, and after writing some words on his palm, he successfully joined the group of experiencers, and no one else joined after that.

That is, shortly after the four people met, the figures around Su Zimo who had been standing nearby began to move one by one, and most of the "people" began to move forward at a faster or slower speed, along the Walk along the road extending to an unknown place.

But there are also some "human beings", like Su Zimo and the others, staying near the trainees, as if observing some rare treasure, which also makes Su Zimo, who is standing there not moving, appear less obtrusive.

"According to the requirements of the task, it's better for us to wait here for a while. After all, the 'people' here are gradually spreading out. We will find them slowly after they have placed their orders." Although there are only four trainees, that one looks 34 The old man with a serious sense had already seized the power first, commanding several other trainees.

"Whatever." The young man wearing sunglasses shrugged his shoulders. He didn't care about it. Instead, he looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Su Zimo.

When the other party looked over, Su Zimo smiled back politely.

Anyway, no one stipulates whether ghosts will laugh or not.

"Listen to you." The other two female trainees 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 badge of the Shuguang Organization on his chest, which means that the other party is also a member of the Shuguang just like Qi Xiaomin and the others.

"You can call me Lao Yan." Su Zimo left some memories of this serious and rigorous trainee, whose surname happened to be Yan.

"Do you want to hide your name?" Some older female trainees were stunned before saying, "Then call me Sister Ling, Wang Lingling, I look a little older than you."

"Hey, I really can't tell if you don't tell me." The man wearing sunglasses clearly said flattering words, but his tone made people think he was mocking, "You can call me Ah Liu."

"I'm An'an." The young female trainee also hid her name, "It seems that everyone is not a novice, so this experience in the world will make people feel more at ease. To be honest, when I was in the nightmare world last time, I may have accidentally tapped Nightmare..."

"It's okay, it's very common to clear the Nightmare Point." A Liu smiled again, and then walked straight forward, "I'll go ahead to explore the way first, and you guys take a rest in place."

"This..." Seeing Ah Liu walking forward, some trainees were confused.

"Aliu, it's better for the trainees to act together in the nightmare world!" Lao Yan immediately wanted to stop him, but Aliu in front of him just waved back and left on his own.

"Forget it, let's follow." Old Yan gritted his teeth, and beckoned the other two trainees to follow, "We can't let him be alone."

Su Zimo, who was following behind with an umbrella, also patted the top of Peng Peng's head, and then invited Zhang Xiaoqing to follow five or six meters behind the trainee, walking slowly.

Su Zimo found that people in the Shuguang Organization seemed to like being babysitters, and he didn't know if this was their standard of income.

Although Captain Cheng Yun was faked by a poisonous snake, the reason why he was not discovered at all 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 trainee.

Including Dr. Jin, who has been taking care of the little girl Wan Ling, Bai Man, who is not good at words but wholeheartedly for everyone, and Qi Xiaomin, who has extended a helping hand to others many times in the newcomer checkpoint...

If it weren't for the fact that the existence of this organization is itself doubtful, Su Zimo would really think that the Shuguang Organization is a legendary gathering of old and good people.

"Old Yan, those behind...why have you been following us?" The trainee who claimed to be Sister Ling didn't seem to have much experience, and her tone was a little panicked.

"It's okay, the requirement of this mission is to find someone, so even if most of the surroundings are ghosts, they will not do it without warning. After all, I have never heard of the unsolvable nightmare world."

"Heh." When Lao Yan said that, Ah Liu, who was walking in front alone, snorted coldly.

"However, human beings should not follow us so closely, so those who follow us should be ghosts, and they can be excluded from the range of choices." Lao Yan frowned because of Ah Liu's attitude, but continued He led the team forward and explained, "The requirements for clearing this mission are not high. Even if we can only find one, we should be able to pass 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 highway.
