Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

Chapter 47: The truth in the mirror

"Back!"

All the practitioners began to retreat as soon as they saw the picture in the mirror, and Su Zimo, who did not know what happened, rushed back to the front of the mirror, and the tablecloth held in his hand flew to the ghost at the fastest speed. Clustered mirror.

"Wait a minute! Don't cover the mirror!" The madman on the other side suddenly shouted to stop Su Zimo's movements.

The unexpected picture happened at that moment. When everyone thought Li Gui was about to rush out of the mirror, when the blood claws belonging to Li Gui really broke through the mirror, the madman and Liu Xu did block everything. In front of the practitioners, but those ghosts did not rush out!

Those seemingly horrible ghost claws are constantly attacking outwards like the small fire encountered before, but because the distance between the mirror and the table lens is a little far away, those ghost claws just look terrible, but in fact they are constantly stretching Holding the air out of the mirror, the group of demons flirted and looked a little funny.

"They can't come out." Looking at those grimace faces and scrambled ghost claws, the madman breathed a sigh of relief. "Their bodies seem to be inseparable from the mirror at all. The so-called attack is nothing but bluff."

"It's us in the mirror?" Little Girl Wanling hugged the oversized garden scissors and looked up at the others with doubt.

"We?" The lunatic froze and said as if he had thought of something. "The ghosts in the mirror did seem to sit there like us at first. They seemed to move similarly, but I didn't think much about it at that time, so Did not remember."

"Something that the old man can't remember, did the mirror remember it?" Su Zi said to himself, and then said, "In fact, when the candle was extinguished for the first time, Du Xin, who was sitting next to Master Fang Qin, I said that the figure of the old man became a big fat man. I saw it when the candle was extinguished, and the chef’s uniform is very fat. I think if we look at the mirror carefully, we might find Mr. Fang Qin. Sitting in the same position is the chef of the villa."

"That is to say, the mirror will tell us what role we should really play? This is what'note the mirror' really means?! Oh my god!" Dr. Jin frowned at the mirror in front of his eyes. "Now this looks like How can you tell who is who?"

"Wow--"

While everyone was thinking about what to do, Su Zimo suddenly shook the table cloth in his hand and used his full strength to cover the entire decorative mirror. The ghost howl that originally sounded because of the group of demons danced immediately disappeared.

"You have the camera of your mobile phone ready." Su Zimo felt that the whole mirror was quiet again, and immediately told other practitioners standing on the other side of the table, "If the ghost in the mirror returns to its original position, try it immediately. To shoot with a mobile phone. In order to prevent the camera lens from capturing the image of Li Gui, everyone also returns to their seats and then remembers the identity of their seats."

"What about you?" Everyone looked at the tablecloth tightly and seemed to be planning to uncover the tablecloth Su Zimo at any time. "If you stand there, the mirror won't shine on you."

"Isn't this game an extra person from the beginning? There are eleven experienced players in ten identities. Maybe it's my turn to maneuver. After all, there may be personnel damage in the middle of the task, or let me play it. Shou Xing's identity." Su Zimo's words kept the drip, completely hiding his unidentified identity as an "outsider."

"ready!"

"Start!"

Su Zimo took a deep breath and yanked the covered table cloth away again. The ghost claws of the group of demons and dances had indeed disappeared, and the practitioners sitting at the table were carrying their mobile phones while condensing their judgments. They also pressed the shutter a few times as quickly as agreed.

In less than five seconds, the fierce ghosts began to struggle outwards again, and when Su Zimo appeared, they simply covered the mirror with the tablecloth again.

"see it?"

Hearing Su Zimo's inquiry, all the practitioners nodded.

"I am still a family doctor." Dr. Jin raised his hand. "I don't know if this is a coincidence or it was arranged at the beginning. Maybe I entered this nightmare world because I am a doctor?"

"Me, Qi Xiaomin and Wan Ling are maids." Bai Man also breathed a sigh of relief. "There is nothing wrong with the **** now."

"It seems that I am indeed a cook." Mr. Fang Qin also nodded. "It's such a big chunk that I can't fit a chair."

"Like Mr. Su said, the mobile phone didn't seem to capture images of Li Gui, but I should be the housekeeper." The madman smiled helplessly. "Thinking of this, this nightmare game really knows the details of some experienced people. "

"Mr. Maniac is also a housekeeper in the real world?" Dr. Jin looked at the madman's wear and styling like a tramp in a strange expression. He doubted whether the veteran could find a job in the real world.

"Not everyone can afford me." The madman took a bottle of water from the table and drank. "At least in the financial sector, I will do more watertight than this **** housekeeper. It really makes me as a fellow. Uncomfortable all over."

"Indeed, for a family, a good housekeeper is far from simple to check the health of the house and the work of the stalkers." Mr. Fang Qin should also make a sound, it seems that he has a little appreciation for the madman.

"I am a bodyguard." Liu Xu also said aloud, "Although the bodyguard has no uniform, I see the ghost in the mirror holding a tactical pen."

Bai Man also put the tactical pen in his hand into Liu Xu's hands, which is considered to have completed a kind of identity handover.

"There is a ghost wearing a driver's hat in the seat of the poisonous snake." Bai Man looked back at the poisonous snake that had not been awakened by them sitting on the side chair. "He should be the driver."

"Then the two remaining gardeners are Du Xin and me." Xiao Huo's face seemed a little unhappy. "It doesn't sound like a handsome character."

"It's really hard to make people think that'attention to the mirror' means this." Dr. Jin sighed. "As long as someone tries to walk in front of the mirror, they will see the ghost in the mirror, or they will be scared away immediately. Or, they will be attacked by ghost claws sticking out of the mirror, and this mirror will soon be misunderstood as an inescapable existence for practitioners."

"Only when we have nowhere to go like this, will we want to look for clues in a mirror filled with ghosts." Bai Man was relieved again this time, "This way, everything should be considered ready."

Under the arrangement of the "manager" madman, all the practitioners have replaced their uniforms with their correct identities. Even the poisonous snake who is the driver is put on the obsolete like a domineering doll with the help of Du Xin. In his suit, he also had a famous car key in his pocket.

The three experienced practitioners who are "maids" are responsible for cleaning and dressing up the hall. The driver, bodyguard, and two gardeners are responsible for moving various abandoned and broken items in the hall to the next corridor.

Mr. Fang, the doctor, and Dr. Su Zimo, who are idle, are responsible for putting the various dishes and utensils wiped by the maids on the table, and by the way, the drinking water and various chocolate candies brought by the trainers Materials are placed.

All the practitioners put all the intact vase racks in the villa into the hall where the waste was collected, and put all the broken vases and other intact decorations Su Zimo picked up, which was considered to be offset. Insufficient plants and decorations.

After being moved, the decorative mirror directly faces the blank wall with nothing, so the table cloth that has been retired is returned to the table, and the tableware for four is placed in the correct way by the madman who is the housekeeper On the edge, various dinner plates and three candlesticks were relocated on the dining table.

A small pile of snacks and chocolates was placed on the dinner plate. Several cans in the supplies previously contributed by the snake were also placed on the dinner plate, because I was not willing to wash the dishes with drinking water, so After these foods have been put into those simply wiped dishes, it is impossible to eat them anymore.

Because the three candlesticks on the table were all empty, Su Zimo took some candles from the candlesticks on the wall and carefully placed them on the tabletop candlesticks, so that the table filled with cheap and fast foods was immediately raised. Half a grade.

"Should I barely be able to make a business trip?" The maniac looked around the "new" hall, and the expression on his face was still a bit disgusted. "I have seen such a shabby party for the first time since I chose this profession."

"It's already good." Su Zimo was also the one who had seen the big scene, but after seeing the shabby result in the eyes of the madman, he nodded in satisfaction while adding water to the glass.

"Then how do we get started?" The madman spread his hands. "We have done all we can do. Can't we stand here and sing birthday songs?"

After the madman finished speaking, all the practitioners nodded with a clear face, and they all said in agreement: "Good idea."

"If you sing a birthday song? Is there a birthday party atmosphere? After all, we don't even have a cake!" Su Zimo also nodded in agreement with the madman's proposal. If there is no birthday song, I really can't see what banquet they are holding. .

With that said, Su Zimo placed the two gifts found in the previous cabinet on the chair of the main seat, and the broken gray teddy bear sat there, shaking his head and shaking his head.

"Happybirthdaytoyou, happybirthdaytoyou..."

Under the leadership of Dr. Jin, the practitioners can only sing along in an awkward atmosphere, even those who can’t remember the lyrics can hum along, just because everyone is all standing at the table. There is no one sitting on the seat, so the picture looks very strange.

In the melody of singing, the figure of the wheelchair being pushed came from the direction of the stairs.

All the candlelight in the hall started to sway, but it did not darken the hall as before, just like some kind of symptom, telling the practitioners present what was going to happen.

Su Zimo turned his head and found that Li Gui on the second floor appeared in the wheelchair for the first time in the light, driving the practitioners to look for the first line of life. This old Mr. Li Gui had a skinny skin, and his eyes were the same He stared at the black caves generally, his mouth slightly open, and kept making the sound of "Ahhhhhhhhhh..."

Only this time, Mr. Li Guilao no longer anxiously patted the wheelchair, but took the wheelchair to the dining table little by little.

The maniac quickly opened the chair on the side of the main seat to allow the wheelchair to enter, and then stood in a row behind the main seat like the most cautious servant with other practitioners, waiting quietly.

But Grandpa Li Gui just sat there, motionlessly staring at the seat of the gray teddy bear with a pair of black hole-shaped eyes, making the trainers' heart beat faster, not knowing if they really found the so-called first-line vitality.

[Ahhhhh...]

After waiting for a long time, the old man who had been quiet suddenly stretched out his thin arms in the direction of the teddy bear. The trainers looked at each other without knowing what he meant by doing so.

Want a teddy bear?

Or remove the teddy bear?

Would you like to sit on the throne?

When all the practitioners were puzzled, Su Zimo's eyes seemed to show the shadow of his grandfather. The grandfather who insisted on seeing his grandson while lying on the bed, and the grandfather Li Li in front of him seemed to overlap.

When Su Zimo saw the open hands of the old man, he seemed to think of something...

But without waiting for Su Zimo to speak, there was a small figure who dropped the garden shears in his hand directly on the ground, and then saw Wan Ling, a little girl in a white skirt, suddenly walked in front of Grandpa Li Gui and threw it without hesitation. Into the old man's arms, he said—

"Thank you."

The old man's stiffly open hands slowly gathered together, and then patted Wan Ling's back gently.

"The task is completed." Suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his arm. Doctor Jin was still a little dazed on their faces. The task that had been tossed for so long, and the task of so many accidents, was it completed?

"Isn't it expected?" The lunatic stretched out his hands and found that his hands were gradually becoming translucent. "It is obviously the eighteenth nightmare world. I don't know why I am a little calm now."

"Zimo." Du Xin finally turned his head to look at Su Zimo on the other side, "I'm sorry."

The little girl Wan Ling who was still held in her arms by the old man looked at the gardening scissors thrown on the ground with some regret, and murmured sadly: "I'm sorry, if I have a nightmare point, I must..."

This may be the first time Su Zimo saw the trainers after completing the task. All he could do was stand in the dark of the hall and cover up his body that had not become transparent at all.

In less than a minute, all the practitioners disappeared from the hall lit by candlelight, leaving only Su Zimo and the old man in a wheelchair looking at each other.

"It seems that we are left." Su Zimo reluctantly spread his hand, and by the way returned the two-star ghost device named "Broken Ghost" back to the backpack, except for this two-star ghost device. In addition, he has two remaining two-star "Nightmare Sleeping Pills", a three-star "Gushan Jiji·Postscript", and a mysterious ghost cane broken into two pieces. Su Zimo is ready to return to Anyu Then try to "fix" it with Scotch tape.

In general, although this trip is a bit tossing, the amount of harvest is actually not too much, and it is not comparable to the star-free commodities harvested in the training institution of Peng Peng.

But a two-star ghost is comparable to fifty unstarred goods, and the value of which can be imagined.

Thinking about this, Su Zimo even felt a little sorry for the old man Li Gui who was sitting in a wheelchair in front of him. He seemed to have accidentally swept his villa.

"Actually, Grandpa, I still don't understand some things." Su Zimo looked at the motionless Grandpa and squatted down carefully in front of him. He asked gently, "Why didn't this birthday party finally end?"

"Why are the doors and windows in the villa blocked?"

"What happened to the servants and family doctors who did bad things?"

"Did they have an accident during the preparation of the birthday party? If your elderly people really look forward to the birthday party, shouldn't they prevent the party from starting anyway?"

"What the **** happened?"

Su Zimo’s most "thought" of these things was speculation, but the things they speculated were only approximate. Now he can know that these things are almost the limit, but there are too many things they don’t know. .

It's a pity that even if Su Zimo asked here, he never thought of asking the old man to answer. After all, the old man's illness seemed to affect the state of Li Gui, and it was impossible to tell him what happened.

But when Su Zimo thought so, a burst of soft vocal singing belongs to the girl in the hall—

"Happybirthdaytome, happybirthdaytome..."

This voice is...

Su Zimo immediately got up and looked around, and then found that the sound came from the mirror facing the wall.

"Things that the old man can't remember, the mirror remembered." Su Zimo murmured what he had said before, and then walked over and turned the mirror over.

When I turned it over, the mirror was facing the corridor leading to the next room. Although there was still singing, I could not see the person who was singing. But even so, Su Zimo found that the hall reflected in the mirror was gorgeous and tidy, not at all abandoned and broken outside the mirror.

After thinking about it, Su Zimo moved the mirror again so that the mirror could face the long dining table.

This time, Su Zimo saw four people sitting at the long dining table. On the left are a pair of men and women in luxurious clothes. On the right are the elderly in a wheelchair who is not too thin. It is a cute little girl wearing a birthday hat and a white lace tutu, like a noble little princess under candlelight.

There is a banner hanging on the wall behind the dining table, which reads: Happy birthday to the little princess!

The picture reflected in the mirror is limited, but Su Zimo can see many people in uniform walking around the picture, which should be the people under the villa.

[Pingting, do you like the little skirt your grandfather gave you? ] The pretty lady sitting on the side asked with a smile.

[like! ] The little girl shouted, and then rushed into the old man’s arms, [like Grandpa the most! ]

The next second, the picture in the mirror seemed to be swept by hundreds of times and thousands of times. When we stopped, the decoration in the hall did not seem to change much, but the banner behind it became: Zhu Xiao Happy 10th birthday princess!

[Pingting, do you like your little bunny toy sent by grandpa? ] The still beautiful lady sitting on the side asked carefully.

But at this time, the girl who was originally lively and lovely with a big smile smiled timidly at the old man in a wheelchair, and kept silent.

[What's wrong, don't you know Grandpa if you haven't seen it in more than a year? That's right, Grandpa seems to have lost a lot of weight, but it's still Grandpa. ] The young father sitting on the side patted his daughter's shoulder with his hand.

Then, the ten-year-old girl hugged the little bunny doll in her arms and walked in front of the old man step by step, carefully hugged the old man in the wheelchair, and then quickly shrank back.

The picture in the mirror fast forwards again.

Because the mirror is aligned with the position of the long dining table, Su Zimo looks like this table is changing over time, watching the replacement of the tablecloth, watching the dinner plate change like a magic, watching many people in and out on the screen, see The wall clock on the back wall rotates like a gyro.

When the picture stopped again, the banner on the wall became: Happy birthday to the little princess.

Still the same dining table, sitting with the same four people, but the old man became thinner and thinner, and the **** the throne has grown into a big girl, replaced the lace princess dress, wearing a school uniform and short skirt, Even some light makeup beyond the age.

Before, Su Zimo even felt that Wan Ling, who suddenly rushed out to hug the old man, had an unusual status, but at this time, she found that Bai Mingting and Wan Ling had no similarities after they grew up. It seems to be much younger than the real age, unlike Bai Pingting's noble spoils.

[Pingting, Grandpa has prepared two gifts for you, one is a skirt and the other is a teddy bear. Do you like it? ] The mother sitting on the side also looked a little indifferent.

[Mom, you know I don’t like that kind of thing, just go upstairs first. ] The twelve-year-old girl sighed, [When can we go home? ]

[Pingting, grandpa is here, it's too rude. ] Father also blamed indifferently.

[I tried too hard, no matter how I talked to him, he didn’t respond, and he couldn’t even say everything, maybe I couldn’t hear it. ] The girl grunted. [Classmates said they would help me celebrate my birthday, and the little princess is really embarrassing. ]

[Then end this way first. ] The girl's mother shook her head helplessly, not paying attention to the dishes and big cakes that had not been moved on the table.

The family of three left this place one after another, leaving only the old man in a wheelchair to stay where he was, looking at the direction of the throne and slowly reaching out.

The picture began to fast-forward again, and this time it stopped shortly. Su Zimo subconsciously looked at the banner on the wall, and found that it read: Happy birthday to the thirteenth birthday of the little princess!

Compared with before, it seems that only one year has passed.

But this time, it wasn't the family of three and the grandfather sitting on the dining table, but the butler and the few servants who were sitting carelessly.

[The old man said long ago that he will not return to the villa this year. The family of three is going to travel abroad for their birthday, but the old man is unbelief. ] The housekeeper's suit was open, not half-rigorous.

[It’s okay, anyone can eat it anyway, not all the money is in the budget. The chef just ate a large pot of braised pork and ate it in a big mouthful.

[I think this old man is really no one to watch, we can be bolder next time we do the account. ] The family doctor in a white coat straightened his feet on the dining table.

[Wait again...be careful first. ]

[That old man is a living cash cow! ] The driver who played with the car key smiled and said, [Master, after they moved away, our days are getting better and better. ]

[It's babbling every day is really noisy, next time I simply lock him up, and then fall off the stairs on the second floor like last time, we don't have a living cash cow. ] The family doctor frowned.
