Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Colosseum...

This word made Ringo feel a little confused.

He didn't know much about the earth at first, and his past memory was blank.

His only understanding of the earth and human beings comes from the words of other missionaries and the books he read in Xu Beijin's bookstore.

Therefore, he was completely unaware of the bloody and killing atmosphere behind the word Colosseum.

He just asked inexplicably: "Isn't this a playground?"

The man gave a faint chuckle and said in a tone that implied arrogance: "Sir, the playground is just an appearance. For human beings, it is a playground for them to play, and they are for other people to play." Yes, it’s the Colosseum.”

Ringo tilted his head, thought for a while in confusion, and finally came to a conclusion: "It's a trick."

The man looked at him, inevitably showing some displeasure.

For this attendant of the Colosseum, he was proud of the Colosseum.Generally speaking, the "beasts" and "beast fighters" who come to the Colosseum will be dying after being ravaged by the jumping machine.

Frightened by such a terrible feeling, they had to fight with all their strength in the ensuing fight.

They don't want to die, and if the blood and killing mean their hope of living, then they will desperately grasp this hope.

Unfortunately, they will never be able to leave the Colosseum.The so-called "hope" is nothing but a mirror image.

But the Colosseum never makes this clear.They hide these clauses in various hidden corners, or in various complicated and confusing clauses.

When those people were really desperate and wanted to resist, they said lightly, "But, you did agree to the terms."

The price of resistance is death.

The Colosseum is a deformed product derived from the spread of madness among humans.

Everyone knows about a real battle royale where it got big enough to plunder humans from all over the world, so everyone was in danger.

But no one knows the existence of the Colosseum, or they are not very willing to mention it.

So, the person who appeared in front of Ringo thought that maybe this rude guy didn't understand what happened, maybe he didn't understand the prestige of the Colosseum, and he didn't realize what kind of doom awaited him.

So the man softened immediately, and said with a smile, "Perhaps you don't understand. Come with me, and you will understand all this."

Ringo nodded casually.

They walked through the various facilities of the playground, and finally came to the theater.There will always be places like this in large amusement parks, where some funny shows will be staged, if humans are not crazy.

Now that people are crazy, things are different here.

As soon as he approached, Ringo heard deafening cheers.He looked over in amazement and thought to himself, is the playground on the earth actually like this?

"Oh! This is our No. [-] contestant! As soon as he came on stage, he made a provocative gesture to the "Beastmaster" who has won consecutive battles!

"Is he sure? He actually has such contempt and disdain for our "Beastmaster". Is he actually so powerful? !

My God, this is the first time a player is playing, the young people these days are really incredible!

"Okay, the game begins! Contestant No. [-] took the initiative to get close to the "Beastmaster" just like he always did, but what about the "Beastmaster"?The beast king is waiting for work!

"In the eyes of the Beastmaster, this is just a little bastard who is overconfident! That's right, this is our Beastmaster! Our ultimate king! The eternal Beastmaster!

"Okay, the first round of trials failed, and the third player chose to try other methods. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Audience, this is not my intentional sound, I am so excited!Contestant No. [-] actually chose to attack by force!

"Injury for injury! Now contestant No. [-]'s left hand is in a distorted posture, but what about the Beastmaster? The Beastmaster's right foot is sprained!

Is the Beastmaster underestimating the enemy? !Now his leg is injured, which is not a good sign!

"Oh my god, player number three is really crazy! This is the first time I have encountered such a vicious, savage, and cruel player on the field!

Even the Beastmaster retreated steadily under his attack!No, the Beastmaster's right foot is really a big drag!

"Are we going to see the ever-victorious Beastmaster fail?! Audience, this is an absolutely rare scene!

"Oh, okay. This, maybe, is the inexperience of the third player? Uh, our Beastmaster is an experienced old player. He can see the flaws of the third player, maybe it is very normal?

"Well, audience, this is a confrontation that ended hastily. The number three contestant was full of momentum, but unfortunately he still lost to the veteran Beastmaster's experience. Let us congratulate the Beastmaster for his [-]st victory!

"As for contestant No. [-], I believe this painful experience will make him realize clearly the strength of the Beastmaster and his own weakness. Well, if he can still survive."

Lin Po listened with great interest, and at the end, he couldn't help being startled.

He walked into the theater with the waiter beside him.

The oncoming heat waves, noisy human voices, mixed with the stench of blood.A strangely frenzied and fiery atmosphere seemed to be burning in the arena.Countless people cheered because of the death of one person.

Ringo glanced at a figure lying upside down on the stage, and a man next to him who was showing his muscles with flailing teeth and claws, and then turned his eyes away without interest.

The waiter beside him said softly: "Are you interested in participating in such a grand event?"

Lingo glanced at him and said concisely: "No..."

"If you want to participate..." The waiter instinctively continued in the usual way, and then reacted, "Huh? You are not...not interested?"

Ringo said blankly, "Yes..."

If the taskers in the narrow building were here, they might be able to see that the uncrowned king at the bottom of the narrow building was a little restless.The signs before he went berserk were really easy to see.

It's a pity that the waiter didn't know the prestige of the person in front of him at all.

The waiter was only surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, it's a pity that you have passed the review. I'm afraid..."

He pointed to the stage lightly, "That is your eternal destination. Otherwise, you will not be able to leave the Colosseum."

Ringo sighed deeply.

The waiter thought he was going to give in.

Ringo flexed his wrist, and said to himself, "That's right, I don't know how to use violence to solve problems now. After all, Beijin doesn't like me like this."

The waiter listened blankly, thinking strangely, who is Bei Jin?

And Lingo said: "But this ghost place... Beijin is not here." He smiled at the waiter in displeasure, "So, I'm sorry."

"It's still easier to do it yourself," he said.

Within 10 minutes, Lingo's figure circled around the arena like a phantom, and everyone he went was like a softened reed without a soul.

The arrogant Beastmaster didn't have any chance to fight back in front of him, so he kicked him aside.

He didn't kill anyone.Everyone is just there in a coma, maybe wake up after a while.

But it is this incredible mastery of strength that allows Ringo's unfathomable strength to be perfectly displayed once again.

Then he returned to the waiter, still expressionless, just asked: "I need to find a door."

The waiter trembled: "You... I'll take you there right away."

Ringo nodded in satisfaction.

It not only solved the problem, but Xu Beijin didn't find out... Plan to pass.

Lin Pozhi complacently followed the waiter to the backstage of the theater.

Xu Beijin: "..."

Good guy, is this the well-behaved and obedient little apple in front of him?

He was angry and funny, and he couldn't help thinking, if the audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene.

Maybe I will make fun of Lingo's sneaky little trick, just like the misfortune that happened to be seen by my partner when I hid my private money...

But Xu Beijin also felt that Lin Biao's actions were quite good.There is no point in communicating or competing with such a lunatic, just solve it directly.

At this point, Xu Beijin and Ringo reached an unprecedented unity.

In addition, such a Colosseum is actually more fearful of Ringo's extraordinary force value than other scenes.

Ringo didn't even find the owner of this cellular nightmare, nor did he understand the more specific details and experiences of this scene.

When he stepped across the curtain leading from the stage to the backstage, a thick gray fog emerged, and a door appeared at the same time.

So, Ringo left this nightmarish scene quickly...although it was indeed a "nightmare".

Xu Beijin quietly watched Ringo's actions.Compared with other taskers, Ringo's experience in these cellular nightmares can be described as very relaxed and comfortable.

He only needs to follow the direction indicated by his intuition, or use unreasonable force value to solve all problems.

Although this was a crushing game, Xu Beijin still couldn't help but think, what does Ringo's characteristics mean?

As he got closer to the moment of meeting with NE, Xu Beijin felt more and more heavy clouds covering his heart.

Why did NE change?Could they really leave the narrow building?And what about Ringo?

Xu Beijin felt an indescribable depression, he thought, maybe it was the almost fainting experience before that made him a little tired.

He unconsciously wandered off to think about some other things, and when he came back to his senses, he found that more and more missionaries were recovering their self-awareness.

First, Mu Jiashi and Wu Jian, followed by He Shujun.

Xu Beijin discovered that NE seemed to be deliberately controlling, so that at least one of the taskers in the team regained self-awareness.

He Shujun and the witch came to a classroom of a certain school.This is probably a classroom for senior high school students, filled with slogans and slogans, as well as textbooks and test papers.

But this is all a thing of the past.Half of the banners have fallen off, and the textbooks are covered with dust.

From an open window, a creeper even sneaked in with its vibrant branches.

So it's just a vestige of the past.A screenshot, although the scene in the screen is always frozen at that moment, outside the screen, time is still going on.

As soon as He Shujun came to this place, she immediately fell into a dazed silence.

The sorceress looked at her, and then at this place, as if she had realized something, she stood there quietly and looked at her gently.

After a long time, He Shujun forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry... I remembered something from the past."

"It doesn't matter..." the sorceress said, "The important thing is not to let the past become a cage that binds us. We spend our lives making up for the regrets of the past, but the present is really in our hands."

He Shujun took a deep look at the witch.

She thought, what does she know?She probably doesn't know anything.The sorceress just habitually used these gods and gods.

But she thought again, what the witch said was true.

She took a breath and felt her emotions slowly calm down.It wasn't so much the regained sense of self that made her feel this deeply shaken, but rather the place.

So she said, "Let's go. I know where the 'door' to this scene is. "

The witch followed her footsteps, and said with some hesitation: "You don't seem to want to go there."

He Shujun laughed sarcastically.Coming to this place has completely wiped out her exposed, fake optimism.

She couldn't control her churning emotions, but in fact, that emotion, even she didn't know where it came from.

She thought she had been here before.At a farther and farther point in time, from a longer and irreversible past.From beyond the narrow building.from earth.

She said, "Let me tell you a story." She looked around again, and muttered, "It's disgusting... NE, why did you let me come here again?"

She just complained, and then fell silent for a moment.

They walked out of the classroom and down the stairs.

"Where are we going?" the witch asked.

He Shujun thought for a while, and then said: "Dormitory..."

The sorceress asked curiously again: "Is there any relationship between the dormitory and the classroom just now?"

relationship?

He Shujun thought for a while, and then asked: "What do you think, after madness spreads among all human beings, what attitude will people have towards the college entrance examination?"

The sorceress hesitated and said, "I have a daughter...I can't tell you the mentality of being a mother. Maybe you will be more paranoid about the results of the college entrance examination?"

He Shujun found that when the sorceress mentioned her daughter, her attitude and tone were unexpectedly normal.Does this mean that the witch is still a normal person after all?

She was only curious for a moment, and then she said: "Yes. Crazy can make people go to extremes."

She said, "Not only for the children, but also for the parents themselves. Of course, there are some people who don't care much.

"However, it is more common to focus on college entrance examination results like crazy. No, this is crazy."

While saying this, He Shujun thought of the scene he had seen in the nightmare of the sky fire descending into the world.In educational institutions, the blood of parents becomes the ink of children.

Thinking about it, a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes.

He Shujun thought, her parents were not like this.Her parents were tolerant, considerate, and understanding, at least when it came to exams.

Her parents are not like this, and neither is she... But the people around her, her classmates, her friends, and her relatives, their experiences are completely different from He Shujun's.

When many taskers saw He Shujun, they would ignore her age.

Others think she is a young woman, even though she always has a lively vitality and her tone is always easy to escape.However, no one would think that she was a girl.

But there have never been any girls in the narrow building.Even a little girl has already been polished by the life in the narrow building to a maturity and sophistication that does not match her appearance.So of course He Shujun is the same.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, if she dresses more maturely and has a more sophisticated temperament, then of course people only think that she is young, not that she is underage.

Therefore, no one knew that He Shujun had just come of age when he entered the narrow building.

She has just finished the college entrance examination for a few months... Maybe that's the case, after all, she only has a very vague memory of the college entrance examination.

She vaguely knew that she only entered the narrow building after the college entrance examination.She had this impression, and in her perception of herself, she remembered that she was a high school graduate.

But how did she spend her senior year in high school?She doesn't remember it at all.

When other taskers talk about their memory problems, He Shujun always listens quietly, as if she doesn't care at all, and it seems that she is so lively and optimistic by nature, so she doesn't care about the past at all.

In fact, she doesn't really want to mention her memory problem, at least she doesn't really want to mention... the topic of the college entrance examination.

Only she knows why.

Because of... this nightmare.This nightmare seemed to reveal to some extent why she was so resistant to the memory of the past.That's a situation where it's far better not to know than to know.

In the nightmare that Tianhuo came into the world, she has seen the abnormal parenting relationship between parents and children in some crazy times;

And in this scene, they may be able to see something more terrifying and extreme.

And it wasn't just a... nightmare.

Everyone knows now that the end really happened.And those taskers who entered Xu Beijin's nightmare know that the end is divided into two stages.

So they all thought to themselves, what would happen if those nightmares really happened to them, or even happened to them?

But several of them did not feel this reality;

For example, A[-] and A[-], they participated in this nightmare with a relaxed mind, like a paid trip.

And of course there are several people, when they discuss various news about the end of the world, their eye contact can convey a special message that can only be understood by each other.

They have all entered a nightmare, and that nightmare may be related to their forgotten past.

But none of them took the initiative to speak up and honestly explain what the nightmare was.

But... Xu Beijin's nightmare allowed them to return to that scene, that situation, and let them revisit the old place.

And these nightmares have all come to the garbage dump of the narrow building, as if their memories have also been thrown into this place that no one cares about, and they are worthless.

Thinking of this, He Shujun inevitably showed a strange expression.

They slowly approached the destination - the dormitory.But along the way, the sorceress couldn't help but feel strange: "Is it... too quiet here?"

This can't be a school with only the third year of high school, there must be students of other ages.

Even if the students in the third year of high school want to study hard, why do the students of other ages have no voice at all?

He Shujun smiled subtly."That's it," she said. "It's a ... school for seniors."

The sorcerer was a little surprised: "Specially gathered together?"

"Yes. To create an atmosphere?" He Shujun shrugged, "There is no way, the whole society is crazy. The parents are crazy, the teachers are crazy, and the students are crazy. The Ministry of Education is also crazy."

The sorceress shook her head, and murmured, "An atmosphere of uneasiness that pervades the entire society."

"I don't know if it should be described as uneasy. Perhaps madness is better." He Shujun was a little more tactful.

But she didn't find it disturbing.Or, is madness amplifying any extreme emotion?

They walked through empty classrooms and playgrounds, as well as cafeterias, canteens, infirmaries, water pumping rooms... There was no one everywhere.

The sorceress thought for a while, and then felt something was wrong: "Since these senior high school students are gathered together for study, why is the classroom already covered with dust, but the students are nowhere to be seen?"

He Shujun said, "We are going to find them."

"Dormitory?" The sorceress muttered with a strange expression, "But don't they all go to the classroom...they study in the dormitory?"

"To save time."

The sorceress hesitated to speak.

Looking at the thick layer of dust accumulated in the classroom, it can be seen that the students have not been to the classroom for a long time, maybe several months.Now is the turn of spring and summer, even counting the winter vacation for more than half a month...

In other words, starting from the second half of the third year of high school, these students no longer go to the classroom to attend classes, but stay directly in the dormitory to attend classes?

The sorceress murmured, "It's really crazy."

"It's really crazy." He Shujun said, "If it's not crazy, how could it be possible to do such a thing?"

The sorceress hesitated for a moment, but nodded quietly.She felt that the "thing" He Shujun was talking about might not just be about studying in the dormitory, but probably something else.

What would that be?

The witch has a curiosity and resistance of wanting to know but not wanting to know.

It is absolutely unacceptable for her to put these things on her daughter.

But the madness spreading among humans seems to have become some kind of... unwritten rules.Crazy has become some kind of excuse instead.

Just like the current witch, it is impossible for her to accept that her daughter has experienced such an experience, but when she thinks that it is caused by madness, she faintly doesn't think it is strange.

That's insanely crazy, right?

Who knows what those madmen will do?It's no wonder they do anything.

But...but that's not right.

The sorcerer tried her best to correct her point of view.

However, at this time, she faintly realized that when madness really swept the world.Then people really get used to it.

They came to the front of the dormitory in silence.

There are a total of five dormitory buildings in this school, two for boys and two for girls.

The first floor of each student dormitory building is now where the teachers live, and the upper floors are arranged for the students.

He Shujun said: "Because the number of students is not particularly large, so now they share a room with each other. The layout of the whole dormitory has also been redesigned, and it is more comfortable."

The sorceress nodded and asked again: "What about the remaining building?"

"It's where the parents live."

The sorceress was stunned, but now that students are choosing to study in the dormitory in order not to waste any time, it is normal for parents to accompany them.

He Shujun also said: "Every floor of the dormitory has an activity room. Now it is the real classroom for the students. When it is time for self-study, they will return to their respective dormitories.

"Every dormitory is monitored, and the teachers will keep checking the dormitories to ensure that the students are studying hard."

The sorceress couldn't help asking: "If you are not studying...what will happen?"

He Shujun paused almost subconsciously.She felt as if something was blocked in her throat, and some long-simmering emotions were fermenting in her heart until she could no longer bear it.

But when she went to look for it, she couldn't remember what it meant.

She knew what kind of scene they would see when they walked into the dormitory.However, she didn't know what happened outside the narrow building.

Knowing the truth, or not knowing, which one is more sad and hopeless?

The current He Shujun would rather know by herself.

Those who know wish they did not know;

Those who don't know are always chasing the truth.

Human beings are really contradictory and ridiculous creatures.

With the same almost ridiculous emotion, He Shujun twitched the corner of his mouth without a smile: "You'll know when you go in."
