Opening a Shop in the Nightmare World

"Zhang Xiaoqing and those three friends secretly ran to the famous haunted abandoned building at the back of high school when they didn't have a teacher to study at school evening. No one knew, but the teaching building was already very dilapidated. The door is still the oldest wood, and it can be kicked with a brittle foot, so the school replaced the locked iron door to prevent students from running in and playing."

"The only boy among the four broke the window on the first floor, taking advantage of nobody's attention to bring the three girls into the abandoned building, and found the most terrifying classroom in the legend, ready to play pen fairy in this classroom game."

"The walls of the entire classroom have fallen off by more than half, and there are old and rusty tables and chairs arbitrarily placed on the ground. There are various pieces of debris and unclear papers on the floor, just like those that appear in horror movies. Scenes."

"They found two seemingly complete tables to put together, and found four chairs all around. The girl who originally proposed this plan... we asked her to spend her time, and the school flower was ready for the pen fairy The game pen, but I just found a pencil that can be used on the floor of the classroom. After wiping it with a broken curtain, I was going to use this pencil to play pen fairy."

"To be honest, Zhang Xiaoqing was really a little scared at that time. If it wasn't for the boy to invite her, she would definitely not step into the abandoned building. When the school girl and another girl... just call her glasses girl, when the school girl and glasses When the girl asked him to hold the pen for the first time, Zhang Xiaoqing was really unhappy."

Xiao Wan used "School Flower" and "Glasses Girl" to describe the character in the ghost story, which made Xu Yingying and Zhu Zhu a little stunned and unaccustomed, but the three people on the sofa did not dare to move at this time. I'm afraid I missed an important clue in the story of Xiaowan ghost.

Su Zimo was observing the girl while sitting opposite Xiao Wan. Her expression and tone were very natural. There was nothing strange except for occasional confusing words.

But...

Su Zimo, who was sitting on the far side of the sofa, always heard some small movements from the corridor next to the living room, that is, the corridor where the female "person" disappeared before disappeared, and from time to time made some easily overlooked sounds.

Su Zimo quietly put his hands behind his back, grabbed the metal pen in the side pocket of the backpack, and then continued to sit there, listening to Xiao Wan with a smile and telling her ghost story.

He knows that this kind of nightmare world that completes tasks in stages will control the difficulty. The first task is basically the refuge of the trainers, which is to let them understand the background and preparation stage of the nightmare world, so before the story is finished, they are temporarily safe.

"Zhang Xiaoqing didn't dare to hold the pen at all, but this time the guy in the four-member team suddenly said to her,'If you hold the pen, I can hold your hand'. Because few people can refuse the crush The subject said this to himself. Zhang Xiaoqing, like other Huaichun girls, held the pen under the watch of the boy, and then watched the boy wrap her hand, and felt a trace of happiness in this horrible environment. sense."

"Zhang Xiaoqing and the boy held the lower half of the pencil, then Xiaohua held the upper half of the pencil, and finally the glasses sister held Xiaohua's hand, so the four people grabbed the same pen from four directions, and let the pen Standing upright on the A3 white paper they had prepared earlier, and took a deep breath for the sake of calm.

Listening to Xiaowan's story, Su Zimo originally thought that Du Lei's story was long enough, but did not expect Xiaowan's story to be longer, and added many details and verbal descriptions to the story, just like when she happened Just like on the spot.

Listening to Xiaowan’s story, Su Zimo’s mind seemed to show a deserted classroom. Three high school seniors who looked for excitement looked at a girl who was shy and shy, and she continued to encourage her first Hold the pencil.

"Bixian's game has always been the same, either successful or unsuccessful. But the pen fairy that Zhang Xiaoqing participated in should be successful this time, because she just looked at the pen and began to draw circles on white paper, but her hand was There was no effort at all, and the three friends around me just asked each other blankly, and finally determined that there was a mysterious force pushing the pencil."

"Although it feels horrible, they have long known the taboo of playing the pen fairy game. They know that once the pen fairy appears, they cannot release their hands, otherwise it will be worse. Please, so although Zhang Xiaoqing feels that the hand holding the pen is shaking, he even feels that Her hands kept sweating, but she was patient under the comfort of the boy. Afterwards, Zhang Xiaoqing's three other friends gathered around and asked some questions about the future of school, and she said a word because she was afraid. Not sent."

Xiao Wan's narrative tone seems to be very indifferent, and even seems to hold the script without reading it emotionally.

"But then, the school flower among my friends suddenly asked, "Xianxian, does Zhang Xiaoqing have someone to like?" At that time, Zhang Xiaoqing was stunned, and he could only watch the pencil constantly being pushed, and finally started in A circle is drawn on the sign of "."

"The school flower smiled and said,'I may know who it is.' Then, when Zhang Xiaoqing's heart was almost jumping to his throat, he asked another question, "Ben Xian, the person Zhang Xiaoqing likes, does she like her?" '"

"At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqing's entire heart was almost exploding. She suddenly held the tightly held pencil with her hand, and wanted to stop the "pen fairy" with human power. Some people said that in fact, a large part of happiness in secret love comes from self. Satisfied, Zhang Xiaoqing would rather not know the answer from the beginning than knowing an answer that is not known here."

"Maybe it's because Zhang Xiaoqing's movements were too hard, maybe it's because this pencil that doesn't know how long it has been dropped in the abandoned classroom has already become brittle. In short, the pencil refill held by four people is just like this in their The eyelid was broken, and the entire pencil left the white paper, committing the first taboo of pen fairy."

"At that time, the air in the entire abandoned classroom was very quiet. This strange atmosphere lasted for three or four minutes. The glasses sister suddenly screamed with her throat and shouted,'We are going to die! We will die! Pen fairy If we were not sent away, we would all die!' and then let go of the hand holding the pen."

"It was Xiaohua who let go of her hand afterwards. The girl who had always been very creative even cried, and said to herself,'Sorry, sorry, sorry, I shouldn't propose to play pen fairy, sorry !'"

"Then, even the boy let go of his hand and walked to the window with his back silent to the other three girls."

"Instead, Zhang Xiaoqing, who still holds the pen in the end, is puzzled because she thinks the performance of the three friends... is very exaggerated. Yes, it is really very exaggerated! Although the taboos of Pen Xian are widely spread, in fact most of them They are all unreliable ghost stories. No one has ever dared to say that if you commit a pen immortal taboo, you will definitely die. Why can't you help the two girls, even the boy she secretly loves is in a state of melancholy?"

"Zhang Xiaoqing couldn't figure it out, after all, the'pen fairy' they called did not even riot like the ghost story, nor did they capitalize a few words of'death' on the white paper, why did her glasses girl scream The sound is getting worse, why is the cry of Xiaohua getting louder?"

"Zhang Xiaoqing hasn't considered these things clearly yet, and the teacher heard the screams of the glasses sister from the abandoned building, and something bad happened to one, so he rushed in."

"But the teachers who rushed into the abandoned classroom only saw a few students around a blank sheet of paper, crying and crying, and a girl sitting there holding a pen silly, seeing nothing happen at all What happened. When the teacher took Zhang Xiaoqing away from them, the glasses sister was still shouting and saying,'Bi Xian, the pen Xian drama was wrapped around us, I saw it! It is going to kill us! It will follow our loose hand Order, kill us one by one! We are dead!'"

"Zhang Xiaoqing sitting there stupidly was also taken away by the teacher. When she left the seat, the pen in her hand fell on the white paper, and lying there quietly saw no mystery."

"'I'm sorry, but I'm really scared, her eyes can see some strange things from an early age, maybe she really saw the pen immortal!' Originally Zhang Xiaoqing wanted to talk to Xiaohua, but the girl She only cried for a while while leaning on her, and said that the glasses girl's eyes could be psychic. If she saw the pen fairy, it must be true.

"Till here, Zhang Xiaoqing still doesn't believe in the school flower and the glasses girl. After all, if the glasses girl is true, isn't she the first to release the pen?"

"Zhang Xiaoqing wanted to ask the boy she was in love with, but I don't know why. After leaving the abandoned building, the boy kept walking with his head down, without looking at anyone or saying anything."

"Zhang Xiaoqing's home is nearby, so they all went home after the evening self-study. Although Zhang Xiaoqing didn't think the pen immortal thing would bring any sequelae, he didn't know why he couldn't help his heartbeat. Wait for eleven o'clock. More, when Zhang Xiaoqing was about to fall asleep, a small group established by their class suddenly received a message from the glasses sister."

"The message said,'I saw it, it's here, Penxian is here, and I will be taken away!' Zhang Xiaoqing and other students have used their mobile phones to contact the glasses sister, but all the calls they have made When someone answered, Zhang Xiaoqing felt very bad again."

"The next day, the glasses sister did not come to school. In fact, the teacher had already learned the news from the glasses sister's parents in advance. When asking Zhang Xiaoqing and their friends, they said that the glasses sister did not go home after school yesterday, and they can't find it until now. Traces."

"After knowing this news, Zhang Xiaoqing was stunned. She could only hear the crying of the school flower beside her."

"She can't figure it out, it's just a game, why is the glasses girl really missing? Did she disappear, or did she really encounter Pen Immortal? Zhang Xiaoqing's head was cluttered, that is when Xiaohua suddenly hugged She then cried in her ears and said,'Yes, it's my turn next time!'"

"Zhang Xiaoqing doesn't want to die, nobody wants to die."

"The family of the three friends next to Zhang Xiaoqing are in very good condition. At least there are several houses in a first-tier city in their hands. Unlike the Zhang Xiaoqing family, she can only rent an old and broken school near the school in order to reassure her. The house in the suburbs is also a self-built house of my own family for decades, and I can’t take it at all. Finally, I struggled to get into this high school, and thanks to Zhang Xiaoqing’s results, I have already dragged a university’s admission book into her hand. It’s less likely to want to die."

"After entering high school, the biggest change to Zhang Xiaoqing was to meet three friends. When other students said she was a "countryman", they were willing to smile and communicate with her friends. Especially Zhang Xiaoqing's secret crush on boys, not only the school The grass looks very gentle and treats people with smiles, like you sitting opposite me."

Speaking of this, Xiao Wan suddenly mentioned Su Zimo sitting opposite her.

"Actually, I also... come from the grass." Du Lei muttered.

"Do you have any boys?" Xu Yingying whispered, and then looked at Su Zimo at the corner of her eyes, "Ayu's face is really not on the same file as your face."

"..."

Su Zimo found that Xu Yingying's emotions were even more relaxed than when Du Lei told the ghost story. This may be because the story Xiaowan said was longer, and it was still a more cliché pen fairy story. The people of the film have heard of several similar versions, and really can't hear anything new.

However, Su Zimo, who has been listening attentively, feels that there are many suspicious places in Xiaowan's story. As the protagonist of the story "Zhang Xiaoqing" said, they have experienced too many pen fairy games. The disappearance also seemed inexplicable.

However, if you think about it in a different way, Su Zimo feels that even if Zhang Xiaoqing was puzzled at first, she might be panicked after knowing that her glasses sister was missing.

"In short, she learned to dress herself up, learned to go to KtV to sing those popular songs, and learned to save all her parents’ lunch money, just to have a cup of red coffee with her friends, and to be able to see her favorite boys. With a warm smile, she was addicted to it and could not quit."

"Zhang Xiaoqing had planned well. After receiving the admission notice, she would take the admission notice of the famous school like the boy, and then comb her most delicate hair, wear the best clothes, and confess to him with the most beautiful smile. When Zhang Xiaoqing thought of the boy’s smile when he looked at himself, he felt that he might not be a one-way crush, and felt that he would be able to confess to success and complete the most hopeful counterattack in her life."

"But, the glasses girl is missing."

"The boy kept his head down, stopped talking, and didn't laugh anymore."

"At this time, Zhang Xiaoqing concealed his fears and continued to use words to comfort Xiaohua and the boy, but one was still covering his face and crying, and the other was still silent."

"After school that day, Xiaohua stopped Zhang Xiaoqing and said that she wanted to have a chat with her. When the two of them sat down by the lake in the park, Xiaohua told Zhang Xiaoqing that she was really scared because she grew up with her glasses sister, so Spectacled girl's eyes can really see ghosts, Bixian really came to death, and she is the second person to disappear."

"In the sobbing of Xiaohua's face, Zhang Xiaoqing said more than half an hour, comforted me for more than half an hour, and then Xiaohua gradually calmed down, leaning on Zhang Xiaoqing's shoulder and saying,'You will die if you speak In fact, I am really thankful that there is a friend like you at this time. Although you don’t say it on weekdays, you are really an angel among the four of us and helped us a lot.”

"Zhang Xiaoqing always feels that the relationship between him and Xiaohua is detached from each other, and has never been intimate with Xiaohua, so when she suddenly heard her saying this, she was really moved."

"Next, Zhang Xiaoqing heard Xiaohua say, "From today, until I disappear, we are the best friends. If I can see the sun tomorrow, I will invite you to drink a year of coffee, OK!" Zhang Xiaoqing While I felt warm in my heart, I comforted the school for a long time, and then listened to her,'Since we are good friends, I will tell you a secret. In fact, the person you like has always liked you.'"

"Zhang Xiaoqing was stunned there when he heard the news."

"'He doesn't really express himself very much, but he secretly told me before that if this time the thing is true, then his greatest regret is that he can't do anything, and he even has to take a step before you.' Xiaohua said After finishing these words, I slept on Zhang Xiaoqing for a while as if I were sleepy."

"Zhang Xiaoqing stared at the lake in front of her for a long, long time, and thought about many things in her heart. She didn't recover until a long time ago, she woke up the school flowers leaning on her body, and then helped her back without a word. In the community, it wasn't until I saw Xiaohua walked into the door of her apartment before turning back to my home. At that time, Zhang Xiaoqing's heart couldn't calm down."

"What makes people even more calm..."

"The next day, Xiaohua disappeared. Everyone who knows this matter is rumored that Xiaohua and the glasses sister were not missing, but were found by Bixian! The story of Bixian is true, and there are ghosts in this world. !"

"This time, Zhang Xiaoqing couldn't help crying because she lost the girl who said they were the best friends last night because she regretted that she didn't send the school flowers into her house last night and then directly watched her walk into her bedroom. "

"What Zhang Xiaoqing needs to face is that since everything is true, then the person who will be missing tonight... is the boy she has been deeply in love with."

"And now, the only life-saving straw for Zhang Xiaoqing is a message from the school flower that she received on her mobile phone shortly after she sent the school flower home. The school flower said in the message that the curse of Bixian actually has a method of cracking, but this method requires Someone actively sacrificed to break the law of pen immortal killing, so that people who are still alive can survive. Xiaohua also said in the message that this method was sent to her by telling her before the disappearance of the glasses sister, if she was not the second target, Zhang Xiaoqing will definitely be rescued."

"Hiding on the roof of the school and watching this news, Zhang Xiaoqing cried even more tearfully. Bixian's goal was disappearing one by one in the order they let go, first the glasses girl, then the school flower, and then her crush. , And finally herself."

"According to Xiaohua, if the order of ‘death’ can be saved, the only way to save the boy is to go to ‘death’ first!”

"Just when Zhang Xiaoqing gradually collapsed, a phone call suddenly came on her mobile phone, and the person who called... was the boy she had a crush on. This was also the first time the other party called Zhang Xiaoqing. An environment, maybe she will be ecstatic with this call."

"Zhang Xiaoqing connected the phone, and there was some anxious voice from the boy over the phone. Although the boy was very gentle to her and the people around him on weekdays, when Zhang Xiaoqing heard this anxious tone, he suddenly felt that he and the boy The distance between them is closer. She only heard the boy say on the phone,'Zhang Xiaoqing, where are you? I have something very important to find you, I am outside the school building now, you come out now, I really There are very important things I want to tell you! Don’t bring other people together, you can do it by yourself, this thing can only be known to you!'"

"Hearing what the boy said on the phone, and thinking of what Xiaohua said before, at that moment Zhang Xiaoqing was once again in a crush of self-satisfaction. She felt that she knew what the person was going to say, and knew that it might be between her and him. The last conversation, but instead of both disappearing from this world, Zhang Xiaoqing still hopes that the gentle big boy can live well."

"So Zhang Xiaoqing hung up the phone... closed his eyes, smiled, and jumped from the rooftop."

"At the moment she was about to land, there seemed to be hallucinations in front of her eyes. She saw the boy, and even saw the school flower and glasses girl. Zhang Xiaoqing felt that the two of them picked her up."

"But why are the expressions on their faces so shocked and so scared?"

"..."

"This is my story." Xiao Wan ended the long story, still sitting quietly on the single sofa.

Xiao Wan’s story is very detailed and detailed, but if it is summed up in simple words, it is that four high school students die together to play pen immortality. As a result, they commit the taboo of pen immortality. The world has evaporated.

The high school student named Zhang Xiaoqing was supposed to be the last "dead" person, but in order to save the boy who was the third target, she took the initiative to jump down from the roof and commit suicide, breaking the order of "killing" people in Penxian. The "dead" man survived.

This is Su Zimo's brief summary of the story.

"I never thought about it..." Du Lei couldn't help but sigh. "Someone can tell such a long-established story so long..."

"Hello!" Xu Yingying couldn't help but put Du Lei on his arm and told him not to talk nonsense. By the way, he looked at his left arm. He should want to know whether the first task has progressed before continuing to sit down. Waiting for the next ghost story.

"Ding!"

Just when the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Su Zimo suddenly saw the tablet screen on the coffee table light up again, and it seemed that someone had sent another message in the group with only one chat bubble.

Su Zimo remembered that the last message seemed to be-

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

And now another message jumped out and said: [What time is it, I fell asleep when I saw the message, I will talk about it next time. ]

The sender was Wen Xiaoyu.

Su Zimo thought that the "Hua Xiaowan" lady sitting opposite would lean back to the news, but did not expect that...the message from the "Hua Xiaowan" jumped out on the tablet's information prompt: [I I also went back to bed and now I am lying on the bed playing with my mobile phone. ]

Go back to bed?

play cell phone?

Hua Xiaowan?

Su Zimo's originally relaxed body suddenly stiffened. He remembered the man who was regarded as a female ghost by sitting on the balcony. If the person who went back to the room to sleep from the balcony was "Hua Xiaowan"... …

So who is the "Xiao Wan" sitting opposite him now?

"Ding!"

Wen Xiaoyu: [It’s not like your style to go to bed so early. Did you go to date handsome boy Lin Zhe again? ]

Hua Xiaowan: [Ignore him, I feel a little scared now, I always feel that there is always a voice outside the door. ]

Wen Xiaoyu: [Don't say it, we said that we don't talk about this kind of thing, I also fell asleep. ]

Hua Xiaowan: [Well. ]

The news on the tablet jumped one after another, and even the three practitioners sitting on the side began to feel a little strange. It's just that they don't seem to see things as fast as Su Zimo, so only Xu Yingying whispered: "Well, don't you need to reply?"

"No, I'm not in the group anyway." Xiao Wan kept looking straight ahead and suddenly looked at Xu Yingying, squinting her eyes and smiling.

"..."

"By the way, do you think the story I told is horrible?" "Xiao Wan" turned back to look at Su Zimo and asked with a smile.

"Terror." Su Zimo nodded his head right.

"Really? Can you tell me where the horror is?" "Xiaowan" seemed interested in it. "I don't think anyone else thinks this story is terrifying."

Indeed, when Su Zimo said the word "terror", the doubts in Du Lei's eyes would overflow. Judging from the long ghost story before Du Lei, he has a deep desire to show himself with good things in his heart, so he can't understand the horror of the pen fairy story.

"I still say my story is good." Su Zimo shook his head, not wanting to say too much to disrupt the rhythm of the tasks of the practitioners. "My ghost story is very short, about an abandoned hotel covered with mirrors. ..."

"No, I would rather listen to the story of "Bi Xian" where is the horror!" "Xiao Wan" suddenly violently spoken, but then relaxed again, "Just use this instead of what you want to tell The ghost story is ready. After you finish speaking, the ghost story conference can end."

"Ayu, let's talk about it." Hearing "Xiao Wan", even Xu Yingying urged. The ultimate goal of the practitioners is to complete the task, so Xu Yingying feels that only if they meet the requirements of npc, they can complete the first task of this nightmare world.

Su Zimo thought for a few seconds, secretly sighed, and then looked at the "Xiao Wan" who was sitting opposite and said, "The horror of this story is that only one person died in the whole story."

"One person?" Du Lei corrected blankly, "Ayu, three dead, glasses girl, school flower and Zhang Xiaoqing, isn't it?"

"No, only one died." Su Zimo shook his head. "The glasses girl and the school flower are alive, only Zhang Xiaoqing is dead. This is the horror of the story, because the story of the entire pen fairy is fake, only The death of Zhang Xiaoqing is true."

"At the beginning of the story, some friends agreed to do some stimulating things before the college entrance examination. I think the so-called stimulating thing is not to play'pen fairy', but to make up "spirituality" by several students in rebellious period. The topic of'running away from home without knowing the family and the school, and by the way, the girl named Zhang Xiaoqing can be frightened to death, playing a so-called'prank' that kills people."

"During the missing time, the glasses girl and the school may be hiding somewhere, or they may have ran to another place to play. Anyway, they all live well, but they are so big that parents, schools, and even relevant departments cannot find them. That's it."

Su Zimo has no habit of talking nonsense, so he simply summarized his guesses.

After hearing Su Zimo's words, the three experienced practitioners who have been subconsciously thinking of the "pen fairy" story as a cliché story suddenly figured out what was wrong in the "Xiao Wan" story!

Why is the pen fairy game in the ghost story so calm? Nothing happened, why did the glasses sister scream suddenly and attract the teacher?

Because the entire pen fairy game is fake, it may even be a show that the school flower, the glasses girl and the boy colluded together! The purpose is to deceive people! The purpose is to seek excitement before the college entrance examination! The purpose is to prank!

"What else do you know?" Xiao Wan lowered her head gradually, and her tone gradually lowered.

"All this is a terrible prank, but before Zhang Xiaoqing jumped from the rooftop, he received a call from the boy." Su Zimo had held the metal pen in his hand. "I guess the boy did not intend to be on the phone. Here he confessed to Zhang Xiaoqing, but wanted to tell Zhang Xiaoqing the truth of the prank, tell her everything is false, and tell her not to take the prank seriously. It's a pity that it's still a step late."

"How could this be?" Zhu Zhu, who had been sitting there silently, took off his glasses and wiped them, and said in a somewhat uncomfortable tone, "Why didn't the boy tell Zhang Xiaoqing on the phone the truth? In that way, Zhang Xiaoqing would not Do stupid things!"

"Maybe it was the idea of ​​Xiaohua and the glasses girl?" Su Zimo also sighed. "At the end of the story, Zhang Xiaoqing seems to see the boys, Xiaohua and glasses girls in the illusion. But I think that should not be the illusion of Zhang Xiaoqing, but It was Xiaohua and the glasses sister who came to Zhang Xiaoqing with the boy. Want to witness Zhang Xiaoqing's shocked expression when she saw them alive?"

"That's why they don't let boys make things clear on the phone." Su Zimo said, looking at "Xiao Wan", "Is that right?"

Xiaowan didn't speak.

Instead, after listening to the truth of the story, Du Lei suddenly pointed out: "Although it sounds terrible, but in this way, this is not a ghost story? Is it not in compliance with the rules?"

Du Lei had just finished speaking, and a strange smile appeared on the face of “Xiao Wan” who sat down.
