Chapter 55 Dream Shop

If you want to ask Zhang Xiaoxiao where the air is the freshest and sweetest, Zhang Xiaoxiao will tell everyone without hesitation that it is at the entrance of the Law Enforcement Security Bureau.

If she had to ask her when the air was the freshest, it would probably be at night in front of the Enforcement Security Bureau.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, insects and frogs were chirping in the flower beds and grass on the street, and the streets were as bustling as ever. The night in Cuizhu City was peaceful. Zhang Xiaoxiao was walking on the way back to the university dormitory, feeling an indescribable sense of relief in her heart.

.

Last night plus a series of complicated, bizarre and bizarre events happened throughout the day today. In fact, each of them is not particularly scary when taken individually, but what is chilling is that each of them can be coincidentally related.

Together.

The key factor that connects them is the answer that law enforcement officials disagree with and firmly resist - the urban legend of "lost objects on the train" mentioned by that weird young man.

A senior female killer who was prolific in killing people, after stabbing people in a carriage continuously for unknown reasons, committed suicide by jumping off the rails early the next morning... This is impossible no matter how you think about it.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoxiao has not dared to recall the expression of the female killer when she jumped off the rails and committed suicide for a second. When she saw the scene before suicide captured by the surveillance camera, the female killer looked like she was dying with a sinister smile on her face.

It was as if she had seen something that excited her so much that she could give up her life without hesitation.

If she really had her conscience discovered, her good intentions were still intact, and she was going to die for her past sins, there was no way she would have shown such an expression before committing suicide.

This is why Zhang Xiaoxiao prefers to believe that there are abnormal unknown factors secretly influencing or even dominating this series of events.

Zhang Xiaoxiao actually had a way to prove whether the weird "urban legend" was correct, but during the interrogation she did not enlighten and guide the law enforcement officers and the men in black to verify it.

The method is also very simple, that is to verify it for yourself, take the diamond necklace whose owner cannot be found, and then see with your own eyes whether the horror of the urban legend can be fulfilled on your body.

But Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't dare or didn't want to. She was afraid that someone would actually die because of this.

The female killer deserved her crime, but the law enforcers should not.

Just when Zhang Xiaoxiao felt that she could not withstand the pressure, fortunately, the men in black appeared in time and believed her without any hesitation.

Zhang Xiaoxiao originally thought that she was destined to be unable to pass this hurdle today, because according to the meticulous case-handling spirit of those law enforcement officers, she could not explain the strange things that happened to her, or even if they were explained, they might not be willing to believe it.

Law enforcement officials will definitely dig deep until they find out the answer.

Therefore, when Zhang Xiaoxiao came out of the Law Enforcement Security Bureau, Zhang Xiaoxiao felt a sense of relief.

She stood on the street, looked at the time on her phone, and then at the sky. After a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and chose to pay dozens of dollars out of her own pocket to take a ride-hailing car back to school.

After all, at least for a long time, she was full of psychological shadows about transportation such as subway trains.

People who also have psychological shadows about transportation such as subways include unemployed homeless man Xin Junmao.

Even if Xin Junmao didn't say anything, his parents also heard about the incident during the day through their own channels. When they saw their son come back in a state of despair early today, they immediately understood everything.

Their son, who usually hides his anxiety about getting a job and the loneliness of failing to find a job, would show such a depressed expression if he hadn't encountered some major blow.

"I've been looking for a job lately, and I've been traveling here and there. If you're tired, just take a rest at home." Xin Junmao's father drank a glass of white wine during dinner and pondered for a while before saying.

Xin Junmao's mother also took advantage of the situation and echoed, saying with a smile: "Yes, your father and I are neither sick nor in pain, and we don't need much money. Our family is not short of your money for the time being."

Xin Junmao remained silent. He knew that his parents were trying to comfort and care for him, but just what they said made him feel even more anxious.

He finished his dinner in silence and returned to his room silently.

I locked myself in my room, doing nothing, lying on the bed with my eyes closed to rest. The images in my mind jumped back and forth between my desolate fantasy of an unemployed future and the scene of the female killer who committed suicide by jumping off the train this morning.

Somehow, it seemed that he fell asleep for a short while in his wild thoughts, that is, for such a short period of time, the two jumping scenes in his mind actually overlapped.

This shitty life...ah, the one who jumped off the railroad tracks this morning, why wasn't it me?

Thinking like this, he imagined himself jumping off the railroad tracks. In that space-time scene, his parents and friends behind him, as well as the female college student Zhang Xiaoxiao he met this morning, were all calling him not to die in fear and despair, and

In a daze, he saw the dazzling lights coming from his side. The white, high-speed subway car was like a ruthless metal beast, rushing towards him.

His vision went dark. He had never even experienced the near-death experience described in the novel. He didn't even have the chance to take a last look at the world. He just passed away in a fleeting moment, just like he had not experienced a single incident in the past twenty-three years.

Life is the same as lifeless... even death is so meaningless.

Xin Junmao felt a pang of regret, and at the same time a chill that pierced his soul erupted from deep within his heart.

Suddenly, Xin Junmao woke up at home in the middle of the night. He touched his forehead covered in cold sweat, gasping for air while slowly regaining his composure.

This nightmare made his mouth dry. Xin Junmao got out of bed and planned to go to the living room to get a glass of water.

But when he pushed open the door to the room, Xin Junmao was stunned outside.

Wearing pajamas and flip-flops, he looked around at a loss. What was in front of him at this moment was not the corridor at home. At a glance, he couldn't see his living room. He was in a strange room at the moment.

In a small shop.

The shelves of the small store were filled with all kinds of weird objects with unknown properties, most of which he had only seen in horror movies, but the difference was that when he saw those "dazzling array" of products, he just felt

He was feeling an inexplicable panic inside, as if his sixth sense of survival was warning him not to come into contact with those things, let alone try to understand them out of curiosity.

"Welcome to the Wonderful House. How can I help you?" At this time, a strong man in red appeared behind him and said to him with a smile.

Xin Junmao was startled, turned around and took a few steps back, looking defensively at the kind-faced but depressed clerk in red. It wasn't until he faced off with the other person who was patiently waiting for his reply for a full minute that he finally

Swallowing his saliva, he asked, "Where is this?"

"As I said just now, this is a magical house. Only those who are destined to the store have the opportunity to come to this store." Wei Jiang introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Wei Jiang, and I am the clerk here.

"

Hearing the unorthodox store name, as well as all the products and decorations around this small store that were too hellish, Xin Junmao couldn't calm down, because he was now basically convinced that he had really stepped into an unknown and abnormal realm.
