Although Meng Lin was curious, the increasingly high temperature around him and the increasingly clear smell of smoke made him instinctively afraid, wanting to escape from the burning mall as soon as possible.

There was also a corpse on his shoulder, and it was not convenient for him to move around.

The purpose of coming in has been accomplished, so let's go to the girl first.

Meng Lin hurriedly walked downstairs, bypassed the fires everywhere, and quickly rushed towards the southwest gate of the mall.

The temperature around him was rising rapidly, and the smell of thick smoke was getting heavier and heavier, and Meng Lin was already feeling a little dizzy.

It seems that his previous assumption was correct, even if he was in a dream, if he stayed for a long time, many feelings would gradually become real.

After leaving the mall, Meng Lin carried the body that had been completely blackened to the girl's side.

"I'm sorry, I tried my best, but...... I found her in the bathroom on the third floor, and she was already ......" Meng Lin gasped and gently placed the girl's mother on the ground.

"Mom...... Mom? The girl looked at the corpse in disbelief, and after a few seconds she crouched down, recognized the silver bracelet on the corpse's wrist, and burst into tears.

At this moment, Meng Lin suddenly noticed a strange warm feeling coming from his waist, he was shocked, and quickly looked down, only to find that his clothes had burned up for some time.

Meng Lin hurriedly extinguished the flames on his body, took off his shirt, and looked down to see that the skin around his waist seemed to have burns, but the pain was not obvious.

Will it really hurt?

The faint smell of smoke in the distance, the heat of the midday sun is gradually felt......

This...... Isn't it a dream?

What's going on with the mysterious man walking up the ground at the scene of the fire?

If it was a dream, why did he dream of that person?

Is all this a dream or reality?

Or is it...... Parallel worlds depicted in movies and novels?

Is this extremely lucid dream caused by the 'Nightmare Designer' APP on the phone?

Meng Lin walked to the window of a car next to him in a daze, looking at his face reflected in the window glass, a very ordinary and familiar face, but he could forget what it looked like when he left the mirror......

Suddenly, Meng Lin saw from the reflection of the window glass that the window of another Lexus car beside him was painted with strange runes in bright red pen and ink.

Déjà vu runes.

Wait a minute!

Isn't this the strange pattern he drew on the dream mirror with his finger broken earlier?

Could it be ......

Meng Lin walked to the side of the Lexus car, and subconsciously reached out and gently touched the rune.

The moment his fingers touched the window glass, Meng Lin suddenly heard a muffled sound, which seemed to be the sound of a mirror shattering.

Everything in front of him became blurred, and then his consciousness became blurred.

A moment later, Meng Lin woke up like a drowning man suddenly surfaced, breathing heavily and even screaming a few times.

After waking up, Meng Lin hurriedly took away the book on his chest, then trembled and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp, looked left and right at everything calm around him, and then took a breath and calmed down a little.

What a dream!

"Starter mission completed."

"The nightmare video has been automatically recorded."

"You've been rewarded with 1,000 Dream Coins."

"Dream Coins: The universal currency of dreams, which has a wide range of uses in dreams."

“……”

"Want to be a nightmare designer?"

The phone next to me made a beep and popped up a few lines of prompts.

There are also options for confirmation and cancellation.

"Nightmare designer? Okay......" Meng Lin, who had just woken up from the shocking fire dream from before, clicked on confirmation without much thought.

"To be a nightmare designer, you have to really understand and master the various characteristics of nightmares."

"You'll have to complete some internships and gain experience slowly."

"First internship assignment: have a real nightmare."

"How to have nightmares: Look into your dream mirror in the darkness of the night, without taking your eyes off."

"In the darkness of the night, what kind of fear is hidden in the dream mirror?"

"What does a real nightmare look like?"

"Please note: the Dream Mirror is your gateway to the Nightmare, and in the same way, if you want to leave the Nightmare, you need to use the Dream Mirror to leave."

"The Dream Mirror will have 1 to 9 mirror images in the nightmare, which will be placed in various hidden places in the nightmare scene."

"The way to leave is the same as the way to enter, touch the dream mirror, or look at the mirror of the dream mirror, and then count silently in your mind, counting from 1 to 9, repeating the cycle until you wake up from the nightmare."

"A real nightmare?"

"Does that mean that dream was not a nightmare?"

"The dream just now is really not a nightmare, it is not scary at all, but it is the first time I have experienced such a lucid dream, which surprised me."

"What does a real nightmare look like?"

"This game is getting more and more interesting!"

Meng Lin walked out of the small room, went to Aunt Li's bedroom next to him and put the water out, then walked back to his small room and stood in front of the dream mirror hanging on the wall.

"Standing here with nightmares?"

"Not really, right?"

Meng Lin thought about it and felt that it was better to take off the dream mirror and take it to the bed to lie down and look at it.

The dream mirror he made was stuck to the wall with double-sided tape, and it took some effort to take it down.

Meng Lin was so tired now that he just wanted to sleep upside down.

Forget it, sleep, sleep.

I'll continue tomorrow night.

……

The next day, Meng Lin was busy until more than 11 o'clock in the afternoon to finish all the preparations for the bubble tea shop, and then opened the roller shutter and started the official business.

"I'm tired, I think I have to hire a few helpers when I have money." Meng Lin rubbed his sore waist and walked outside the store and looked around.

"Huh? Is the bubble tea shop open? ”

Two female college students who passed by stopped and looked at the store.

"Do you drink milk tea? Handmade all-natural milk tea, delicious and nutritious, drink white and fat. Meng Lin hurriedly greeted the two girls and sold them.

"Who wants to be white and fat?" The two girls gave Meng Lin a blank look, turned around and walked away into the distance.

"Uh......" Meng Lin touched his nose, this advertising slogan doesn't seem to be appropriate, and he has to think about it again.

Although Meng Lin's sales skills are not very good, he is not very worried about business.

The location of the bubble tea shop is relatively good, at the intersection of several universities, there are always some couples who want to find a place to chat and don't want to spend too much money to come to the store, order two cups of milk tea and then sit for a long time.

Therefore, as long as it is opened and more people know about it, there will always be business.

What's more, the property rights of this store are now Meng Lin's, and he doesn't need to pay rent, even if his milk tea sales are not good, he won't lose money.

The new book is opened, I ask for collections, I ask for recommended tickets, thank you very much!
