Forcefully opened the roller shutter door, looked at everything that was still familiar in the bubble tea shop, and recalled Aunt Li's voice and smile when she graduated, Meng Lin couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

In the four years of college, he spent three and a half years working in a bubble tea shop outside the west gate of his university. It is with this stable part-time job that Meng Lin, whose parents died at an early age, was able to save enough tuition and living expenses to successfully complete four years of college.

Meng Lin works very hard, and the owner of the bubble tea shop, Aunt Li, who is nearly half a hundred years old, is also very good to him, giving him a feeling of family.

At that time, the bubble tea shop was more like his home than the dormitory.

After graduating from university, Meng Lin received an invitation from a high school classmate to work as a translator for a cable company in Africa in China.

Two years have passed.

In the past two years, every holiday, Meng Lin would buy all kinds of exotic specialties and send them to Aunt Li. It's a pity that the agreement he signed with the company is that he can't return to China for two years, so he can't return to China to visit her during this period.

However, Aunt Li didn't care, she often cared about Meng Lin's work and safety in WeChat, nagged him about whether he was looking for a girlfriend or not, and even said that she would give him a big gift when he got married.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Li kept the news that Meng Lin had terminal stomach cancer until she died in the hospital, and Meng Lin didn't know about it, and she couldn't rush back to China to see her for the last time.

At the end of two years, Meng Lin returned to China and saw only a will made two months ago.

There were no lyrical words in the will, and Aunt Li, who did not have any relatives, simply told Meng Lin a few words in the paper, and left him all the remaining savings from the treatment and this milk tea shop.

The savings left by Aunt Li were used by Meng Lin to pay various inheritance taxes and handling fees, and in the end, the only thing that fell into his hands was the bubble tea shop that reappeared in front of him and once made him miss all kinds of nostalgia.

Aunt Li spent the last three months in the hospital, during which the bubble tea shop never opened again. After Meng Lin opened the roller shutter door, he did not rush in, but first let the shop, which had been closed for three months, ventilate and disperse dust inside and out.

This bubble tea shop is a private building with a total of three floors. The first floor is open for business, the second floor is stacked with goods and sundries, and the third floor is the bedroom living area.

Each floor has an area of more than 80 square meters, and Aunt Li owns all the property rights.

"Aunt Li, thank you! Look at it, I will definitely run the bubble tea shop well! Meng Lin respectfully hung Aunt Li's photo frame on the wall of the bubble tea shop, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and secretly swore in his heart.

When the dust in the air was blown away by the wind, Meng Lin, who had collected his emotions, began to clean up the bubble tea shop.

Clean the cabinets......

Cleaning cups......

Wipe the glass ......

Mopping and dusting ......

While sorting out the redundant items, Meng Lin dragged out a cardboard box from under the counter.

The carton contains handbags, pens, meal cards, bus cards and other miscellaneous items. Meng Lin knew Aunt Li's habits, which were inadvertently dropped by the guests who usually drank milk tea in the milk tea shop.

Every time Aunt Li picks up lost items, she will carefully put them away, such as student ID cards, ID cards, etc., if you can contact them, you will contact the other party to claim them, and if you can't contact them, you will put them away and wait for the guests to remember to come back and pick them up.

Occasionally, however, some lost items have been left unclaimed for several years.

Meng Lin cleaned the dusty debris on the top layer of the carton, but turned out a strangely shaped black mobile phone from the lower layer.

Probably because it was wrapped in paper, the phone was very clean, and the paper that wrapped it was left with Aunt Li's handwriting.

Aunt Li has always had the habit of making notes on valuable lost items.

"On April 4, 2017, a guest's lost mobile phone could not be charged, turned on, repaired, and unclaimed."

Meng Lin picked up the phone and put his index finger on the fingerprint recognition on the back of the phone...... Of course, he didn't want to turn on the machine, it was just a habitual grip of the bowed family.

Unexpectedly, the mobile phone in his hand suddenly shook.

It's actually turned on?!

After more than a year of downtime, there is still electricity?

Meng Lin was taken aback, but soon his attention was drawn to the image of the phone after it was turned on.

The picture is a bit peculiar, with lines of green text prompts.

"Rare fingerprint ...... detected"

"Host Name: Meng Lin; Gender: Male; Age: 25 years old......"

"Personality: homely, introverted, honest, hardworking, tangled, low obsessive-compulsive disorder, low emotional intelligence......"

"Interest: Horror movies, thriller game lovers......"

"Fingerprint Identification Results: Suitable for Binding."

"Attempting to bind ......"

"Congratulations to the host, the binding is successful!"

The prompt floated up line by line, and the text was very small, and Meng Lin hurriedly scanned it and found that the phone had entered the official boot screen.

After entering the home page, there is only one APP on the extremely simple mobile phone screen.

Software name: Nightmare Designer.

"What kind of game is this, why haven't you heard of it before?" Meng Lin frowned.

A weird phone I've never seen before, a mobile game I've never heard of...... Meng Lin clicked on this APP with some curiosity.

After the APP enters the running interface, a line of prompts pops up.

"Because the host is using the app for the first time, there is no way to skip the tutorial for beginners."

"Please confirm if you want to take on the newbie task now?"

Meng Lin clicked to confirm.

"First Starter Mission: Please fall asleep by 24 o'clock that night."

The app pops up a task prompt box.

"Oops, what kind of hilarious rookie quest is this? Getting people to sleep on time? Isn't this a health and wellness game? Or ......"

Meng Lin was stunned for a moment, but his gaze stayed on the five words "Nightmare Designer" at the top of the game window.

Long.

"Task Guide: Please complete the preliminary preparation for the newbie mission."

A new prompt popped up in the APP.

"Still need to get ready for sleep?" Meng Lin suddenly became a little interested in this APP, such a painful game was unheard of.

Maybe it's some kind of psychological suggestion game?

"Preparation 1: Make a dream mirror."

"Be specific: Look for a mirror, between 30 and 40 centimeters in diameter, round, oval-shaped, irregularly shaped with a similar length and width."

"When you're ready, click 'Next.'"

Meng Lin remembered the size of the bathroom in the spare bathroom next to the warehouse on the second floor, and his impression was similar to the request, so he found a tape measure and hurriedly went upstairs to verify it, then carefully took it off, and then clicked Next on his mobile phone.

"Preparation 2: Put a bowl of rice water under your bed before going to bed."

"Rice water...... Well, it just reminded me that I had to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, rice, oil and salt. ”

After Meng Lin cleaned up the store and was busy outside the store all day, and went to the supermarket to buy daily necessities, he had forgotten all about the nightmare designer APP.

After dinner, he accidentally saw the mobile phone on the counter, Meng Lin remembered this game task again, and hurriedly prepared the rice water and put it under the bed in the small room behind the façade of the milk tea shop.
