Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

[Come to my house to play ghost story conference at night? I am ready for snacks waiting for you! ]

The nickname of the person who sent this message is "Hua Xiaowan", and Su Zimo will not ask the other person's name abruptly, so no matter whether the nickname is true or not, Su Zimo has secretly used "Xiao Wan" to refer to that The girl with Marukotou.

"Are you going to have snacks?" Xiao Wan looked around, but she didn't seem to find any snacks, so she got up directly from the sofa and smiled embarrassedly, "I'll go to the kitchen to see what snacks I can eat."

"No, let's start!" Du Lei shouted anxiously, most of the practitioners didn't think about eating in the nightmare world. In fact, the apartment they live in looks very ordinary. If it’s not the light red moon outside, they almost confuse the real world and the nightmare world... but even then, the food in the nightmare world is not acceptable to ordinary people. of.

Su Zimo looked down and thought. Before leaving, he had better go to the kitchen to see what can be taken away. There are too few "An Yu Yi Yu" products.

"Are you so anxious?" Xiao Wan's face was full of doubts.

"I……"

"We mean, it's too late now." Su Zimo glanced at the three young practitioners and explained, "Now the moonlight is beautiful, which is very suitable for the ghost story conference."

"Same thing, let's start now?" Xiao Wan said, glancing at the four people present again. "Strange, why is there like one more person?"

Everyone, including Su Zimo, became tense for a moment, but Su Zimo and the group of experienced practitioners should have different ideas.

"Forget it, it will be more lively when there are more people!" Xiao Wan's face showed a smile, adding a bit of brilliance to her originally unsightly face. "The rules of the ghost story conference are very simple, that is, everyone says A story, if everyone is safe after telling the story, you can have a party together to celebrate!"

The rules of the "Ghost Story Conference" in Xiaowan's mouth are indeed very simple, but Su Zimo can hear that the premise of "partying" is "everyone is safe." If something happened during the storytelling...maybe they not only had no parties, but also encountered bad things.

"So who will tell the first story first?" Xiao Wan looked at the three people in front of her, and then looked in a certain direction. "It's better to come first, anyway, you look like the one who is superfluous."

The person Xiaowan looked at was Du Lei, who was sitting closest to her, one of the three real practitioners.

"I am the superfluous one?" Du Lei pointed at himself somewhat unbelievably. After the other party nodded again, he nodded helplessly, "Yes, I am the first."

Then, Du Lei turned to look at Xu Yingying, who was sitting next to him with his legs folded, and whispered, "I just said it is true. It is because this npc has a problem. I am not a ghost among the practitioners. I I have really watched your video of Latin dance."

"I know, don't talk too much nonsense." Xu Yingying does not carry a backpack for convenience, but also carries a small white rattan bag, which is also very precious to protect under his hands. "Still preparing Tell me your story."

Xu Yingying didn't seem to like Du Lei very much, and all subconsciously leaned on Zhu Zhu's direction.

"In terms of ghost stories, there are still some wonderful stocks for people like us." Du Lei coughed a few times and began to say after clearing his throat. "That's something I... my friends have experienced."

Su Zimo knows that the three experienced people here are not newcomers, so he knows that each of them has experienced several nightmare worlds. For them, the "Ghost Story Conference" only requires a slight modification of their previous experience and then speaks out. Okay.

And this task does not seem to specify the degree of horror of the ghost story, as long as the story is finished.

"The friend of mine... once entered the depths of a mountain with a small team. In the desolate deep mountain there is a village called "Shengwu". The name of this village is their population from the village. As I know, those demographic sounds are a little difficult to distinguish, so it is probably called such a name."

"Because it is easy to get lost in the mountains at night, my friends and they decided to stay overnight in Shengwu Village and leave as soon as the next day. Although there were not many people in the village, they were very hospitable, and only one lived at the entrance of the village. 'S old woman kept trying to persuade them to leave the village as soon as possible. When my friends were surrounded by hospitable villagers, they cried out and tried to drive them away. Finally, a few villagers put the old woman away, and they managed to live in the village. In fact, they are not unable to leave, just because of some force majeure reasons, they must stay in the village for one night."

The so-called "force majeure" should sound like those nightmare world tasks that must be completed in Su Zimo.

"They lived in the village head's house farthest from the village entrance, and then heard a story from the village head's mouth. The village head had a granddaughter named Xiao Cui. He left the village a year ago because he wanted to work. The eight-year-old said that he would return with his money every six months, but he never returned after leaving."

"In the beginning, they thought that the granddaughter of the village chief just chose to live outside the mountain, and forgot about the villagers in the deep mountain. There was nothing strange about it. But the village chief told them that a villager yelled to the ground six months ago. He said that when he saw Xiaocui at the entrance of the village, he also said that there was something wrong... Then the next day, the yelling villager disappeared, and he could not find it!"

"The village chief told them that after this incident happened, there was a rumor in the village that Xiaocui had an accident when he left the village a year ago. It was actually the ghost of Xiaocui who returned to the village six months ago. She saw the village Everyone of them is living very well, but she can’t even find her body because of her desire to pursue city life, so she will come back to take away someone after a while, so she won’t be lonely."

"Because this ghost story is too lacking in evidence, the seniors in the team told my friends that new people like him will not encounter that terrible thing, so there must be clues in the village that can be easily found, and the whole village The strangest thing here may be the old lady who blocked the entrance of the village from the beginning."

"So my friend asked the village head about the old woman. He found that the head of the village seemed to be in a trance, and then told them that the old woman came in. I didn’t know how long they had been here. Because everyone in the family had died and there was no place to go, they lived in the village."

"I heard that the old woman came from outside. My friends and they thought that the old woman must know something, and they couldn't help running over night." Du Lei said a little dry mouth, so he took it out of his backpack and drank it. Take a sip of water before continuing to speak.

"The old lady heard me... they knocked the door and hurried them into the house. She said that there were too many villagers around them before, so she didn't dare to tell them a very scary thing, that is this village. The name is not called Shengwu, but it is called "Wang Shengwu", which means "Do not enter", because this is not the place where living people should come in. Therefore, the most terrifying thing is that such a big village except the old woman and her None of the remaining villagers are living!"

"I... my friend felt very strange at the time. If the old woman knew these things were true, why did she live in the village and stayed there for so long? After that, the old woman said something more What a surprise!"

Du Lei was very appetizing when telling stories, so every time he stopped to drink water, everyone else in the living room waited quietly for him to continue. For a moment, even Su Zimo felt that they were just an ordinary party, and wanted to hear Du Lei tell the story to the end.

"The old woman asked my friend if he had heard of a ghost named Xiaocui, and that ghost would come to the village to take someone away after a while? My friend nodded, and then the old woman shook her head helplessly, With a bitter smile... "I am Xiaocui"."

"My friend and the others present were stunned because the village chief said that Xiao Cui had just left for a year, and he was only 18 years old when he left. It was still a wonderful age! But the old lady in her eyes looked at least 70 years old, How could it be the same person?"

"Later, the grandmother who claimed to be Xiaocui told us that Xiaocui did not leave the village a year ago, but 50 years ago. At that time, both communication and other aspects were relatively backward. Xiaocui did not work until after working outside for half a year. The surviving fellow villagers knew that there was an epidemic in the village, some people escaped, but some people could not escape."

"At that time, Xiao Cui thought about the parents and the elderly at home, and despite the persuasion of others, she simply returned to the village after simple protection. She thought she would see a very terrible village, but she never thought of entering her eyes. It turned out to be calm!"

"The village that Xiao Cui saw was the same as the previous village. Those who had died from the escape of the villagers lived well in this village. Xiao Cui couldn't believe her eyes, so she stood outside and observed After a while, I found that most of the villagers stayed in the house during the day, but at night they became more active. Everyone was doing things and work during the day on weekdays, greeting and talking to each other."

"Xiao Cui waited a long time, and finally found a playmate who grew up with her, and wanted to ask him something. But it might be because Xiao Cui appeared abruptly, and the silly big guy yelled around and let Xiao Cui, who had not digested the strange things, subconsciously hid."

"When Xiaocui met that big silly again, he turned on the flashlight and took him to no one's place and asked a lot of things. The strange thing is that the big silly didn't know anything about the epidemic and didn't remember how many People have left the village, and they don’t even think their lives are any different than before."

"But Xiaocui knows that everything is different. Because when Xiaocui took a flashlight and directed it at Dasha, he subconsciously asked a question-"Why don't you have a shadow?""

"The silly big man who stood in front of her next second suddenly turned pale and covered with blight marks all over his body, and then rushed at her like she could not recognize her, like a simple beast. , Pinching her neck and trying to kill her!"

"Xiao Cui only had a heavy flashlight in her hand, so when she was pinched by her neck, she tried her best to smash the head of the silly big man with the flashlight until she was almost unconscious and still mechanical. Slammed his head. When Xiaocui recovered, the silly big man who was supposed to have fallen in front of her was missing, as if the world had evaporated."

"On the evening of the next day, there was a sudden commotion in the village, because they knew that the silly big man was gone without remembering anything, and gradually rumored that Xiaocui was a ghost!"

"Xiao Cui did not dare to continue to contact those villagers, so he has been living in the mountains near the village. The most common thing he usually does is hide behind the stone and observe this village whose name is changed to "Shengwu" village."

"After a period of time, Xiaocui can almost be sure that all the people living in the village are not living people, because they never leave the village, and they no longer keep livestock and crops, as if they don't need to eat at all. Yes, the ghost villagers in the village have a very strange concept of time. It is clear that Xiaocui has been observing outside the village for more than half a year, but the villagers will still look around for the silly big man who disappeared last night."

"In fact, it's hard to imagine how Xiaocui survived those years, but the fact is that Xiaocui waited outside the village until the young round face became thin, and the hopeful eyes became dull, even the original The envious dark hair also began to become sparse, and only after Xiao Cui did not know herself did she boldly enter the village."

"In the eyes of the ghost villagers, this strange alien has nowhere to go. In Xiaocui's eyes, she is going home."

"Finally Xiaocui told me...friend, the ghost villagers in this village are harmless on weekdays, but the strangers who come to the village absolutely cannot debunk this calmness and harmlessness!"

"Whether it’s time outside the mountain, advanced communication equipment, or movies and music that I’ve never seen before, it will make the ghost villagers in the village discover that they are no longer alive. In addition, they can’t debunk the disappearance of those ghost villagers. The shadow and the fact that there is no need to eat. There are many things that need to be paid attention to, and there are even many prohibited matters that have not been discovered by Xiaocui."

"Xiao Cui said that before this, many people had violated taboos before they could find her, making the villagers they contacted instantly become "ghosts." If these outsiders were killed and killed by ghost villagers, second All the villagers in Tiantian will no longer remember these things and return to a peaceful life. But if the people outside kill the ghost villagers, then the next day everyone will rumor that the ghost of Xiaocui is here to kill again."

"They didn't know it from beginning to end. Xiaocui lived with them all the time. The mother-in-law named Xiaocui stayed in the village like this, saving one from the outside."

"But my friend later said that he saw something else in the eyes of the mother-in-law, and always felt that the mother-in-law was actually reluctant to such a peaceful ghost village, because as long as the ghost village continued to exist for a day, her family I can continue to live like I used to."

"This is the story my friend told me. They relied on the warning of the old woman and tried to avoid the taboo before leaving the village, so they left the village peacefully."

After Du Lei finished speaking, he was relieved and sipped away the remaining drinking water in his hands.

"Your eloquence is very good, and your writing skills are not bad, wouldn't you read the Chinese Department?" Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh with emotion after listening to such a long ghost story.

"It's really polished a bit, but it's also really what I encountered during my friend's newbie." Du Lei looked at Xiao Wan, the convener of the ghost story conference, "how, my story should be passed Right?"

"Mother Xiaocui's story is really impressive, but listening to you, if your friend didn't go to Xiaocui that night, would she sleep peacefully until dawn and then leave the village? Xiaowan asked curiously.

"Cough, after all, it is a novice, and I will not encounter problems that are too difficult." Du Lei first explained to the practitioners present, and then said, "In fact, my friend is necessary to find her mother-in-law, because the next day When I woke up, the village head began to go crazy and asked about the situation outside the mountain. I was also very interested in the camera and mobile phone my friend brought with them. If they were not reminded from their mother-in-law, they might have killed There is no other way to leave safely except for all the ghosts in Dead Ghost Village."

"A good story, although it's too long, it's considered a pass." Xiao Wan nodded, as if accepting Du Lei's supplement.

"Since the extra people have finished telling the story, let the most beautiful girl start telling it first." Xiao Wan looked at Xu Yingying.

"Well, I'll just throw a brick and introduce the jade to tell a very simple story." Xu Yingying emphasized the words "very simple", as if it was specifically said to Du Lei.

"Isn’t there a lot of beauty cameras in the phone now? Most beauty cameras can automatically capture the faces that appear in the camera and whiten and peel together. There are also some beauty cameras, which can even guess intelligently. How old are their faces?"

"When I was sleeping in the dormitory one night, I was lying sideways on the bed, playing mobile phones facing the wall of the dormitory."

"Playing and playing, I accidentally turned on the beauty camera in the night, and then my camera kept telling me that it recognized a face in the dark! And the recognition frame of the face moved from time to time, even It's getting bigger and bigger, as if there is a face constantly approaching me."

"I'm pretty sure that it wasn't the selfie lens that was opened. If there is no problem with the camera, my side...maybe a person I can't see has been lying.

"The next second that made me think this way, a pale ghost face suddenly appeared on my phone screen!"

"It said: You finally found me..." Xu Yingying lowered her voice.

After talking, Xu Yingying smiled and clapped her hands, and then said: "Okay, this is my story, should it be counted?"

"This is your own story?" Xiao Wan seemed very curious about everyone's story.

"No, it's just the ghost stories I've seen before. The first person is also used to increase the sense of substitution." Xu Yingying explained, "The other ghost stories should be as long as Du Lei's, and it's a waste of time."

"Also." Xiao Wan nodded and looked at Zhu Zhu sitting next to Xu Yingying. "The next time is the girl with glasses."

"Zhu Zhu, just tell a short point, don't waste time." Xu Yingying whispered before Zhu Zhu started telling ghost stories.

"Well." Zhu Zhu nodded, held his glasses, and said in a small voice, "I also tell a short story I've seen before."

"This is a story with no suspense. A lot of small details are mixed in ordinary life. I also tell it in the first person."

"Something happened shortly after I moved into my new home, and I noticed something strange happened around me. For example, when I was already crowded with people in elevators, there were always empty places around me, as if I had no smell on my body. People dare to be close."

"When chatting with neighbors occasionally, they will gently tell me to teach children not to use violence, but to communicate with children in a gentle way, otherwise the children will cry all the time, but I am still single and have not even been in love."

"When I go to work, I get on the bus when there are few people, and then I see more and more people in the car. There are even many people standing there holding the railing, but there is no one sitting in the empty seat next to me."

"After a long time, I felt a little scared, so I decided to take a taxi to work. But as soon as I got into the taxi, the driver turned and asked me, "Miss, where are you going to play with your child?""

"The story is over here." Zhu Zhu lowered his head shyly. "Although this story does not end, do you still feel the feeling?"

"I really like this story." Xiao Wan nodded. "Many things in life are like this. The things that are kept in the drum, but the people around them are very transparent."

"Then, it's me now?" Su Zimo glanced at Du Lei, who was previously excluded, and felt that if there is some kind of role-setting arrangement in this nightmare world, then people in the nightmare world may put He and Du Lei were wrong.

After all, he is the one that comes out.

As for why it is wrong?

Su Zimo thought for a while, and thought it might be because of his face.

"Wait a minute!" But when Su Zimo was about to tell a story, Xiao Wan suddenly stopped speaking, "This time is the same as last time, shall I come first?"

Su Zimo didn't understand what Xiao Wan said for a while, and he nodded and obeyed her arrangement.

Then, Xiaowan sitting there cleared her throat and sat upright to start telling her story.

Su Zimo, who was present, and several other practitioners also sat up straight and improved their concentration. They believe that the nightmare world will make useless arrangements, so there must be clues to their clearance in Xiaowan's story.

When she started telling, the expression on Xiaowan's face also changed a little bit. From the beginning, she became more serious, as if she was not telling a false ghost story, but a very rigorous news of current affairs.

"The story I told was a real story that happened more than a year ago, and it happened in a high school nearby."

"It was the last month before the college entrance examination. Everyone felt nervous or even uncomfortable because of the pressure of the college entrance examination."

"So, the four students in a certain senior high school class, and the four friends who have always been in good condition, decided to play an exciting game at that time."

"The main character of my story is Zhang Xiaoqing. She is connected with the other three students because of her name, but she is the one with the least respect in grades, appearance and personality among the four friends."

"At the beginning, Zhang Xiaoqing didn't dare to play the exciting game in their mouth, but she still had a crush on the only boy among the three friends, who was also a famous school grass in their high school."

"So when the boy made an invitation, Zhang Xiaoqing finally agreed."

"The name of this game is ‘Pixian’. It sounds like a very ordinary psychic game, but it caused an unimaginable nightmare.”
