Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

More and more taskers and cosplayers found that the people emerging from the gray mist were as dense as ants, but they were not aggressive at all, but just stood there in a daze.

Not all lunatics are like this, there are still many lunatics who attack and hurt others like crazy, and infect their madness to some other normal people.

But the vast majority of "lunatics" just stood there quietly and silently, as if they didn't see the people around them at all.

They will slowly walk out, leave the scope of the gray fog, and then stop.

Seems to be waiting for something.

Mu Jiashi and Shen Yunju observed the group of "lunatics" from a long distance away.

Shen Yunju couldn't help but said: "They are more lunatic than the group of lunatics we met in Xu Beijin's nightmare..." He hesitated for a moment, and then chose a word, "Calm?"

"It seems that they don't understand why they came to this place."

Mu Jiashi analyzed, "It seems that they are indeed the danger of the ultimate nightmare...at least it is the accident of this nightmare. From this perspective, the ultimate nightmare is not exactly a repeat of the end of the earth...why?"

At the beginning, they thought that the ultimate nightmare was simply repeating everything that had happened, and as long as they kept calm and rational according to Xu Beijin's words before the ending, that would be enough.

But the appearance of the gray mist stunned them all of a sudden.

And after that, the appearance of this group of lunatics, and their amazing performance, is even more puzzling.

Mu Jiashi pondered for a moment, but still didn't understand the role of the gray fog and these lunatics in this nightmare.

He turned to think about why these lunatics didn't go crazy, and soon came to the same conclusion as Ding Yi.

"Because of Xu Beijin?" Shen Yunju was a little surprised, but then realized that what Mu Jiashi said should be the greatest possibility, "It makes sense, maybe he is helping us."

Mu Jiashi thought for a moment, then shook his head again: "It's not important anymore. The key is now...how do we do it?"

Shen Yunju said: "If these lunatics don't come to attack us, we'll live in peace, isn't that the best?"

"The problem is..." Mu Jiashi stretched out his hand, looked at his fingertips, and then said slowly, "Didn't you notice that the gray fog is still spreading?"

They retreated again, and their original position was completely covered by gray mist within a few minutes.

Shen Yunju couldn't help but said, "So we can't touch the gray fog?"

He originally wanted to say that this shouldn't be difficult, but soon, he saw a large number of lunatics coming out of the gray fog, and then stood still in a normal place that was not covered by the gray fog.

As a result, the originally quite open space shrunk in an instant.

Shen Yunju was immediately dumbfounded.

If it's just a group of sober taskers and actors, then the space may be enough;

But with the addition of this group of lunatics who came out of the gray fog, the space is far from enough.

The lunatics seem to be endless, and the safe space is ever-shrinking.

In addition, large-scale scenes cannot be entered. After entering, they may soon be infected by the madness that comes with the scene.They can only stand on open, flat ground.

Shen Yunju frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Building a human wall?"

Use the space above, which seems to be the easiest way.

Mu Jiashi thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe it's feasible. But..." He paused, "You forgot, there is still a fire from heaven."

They're only in the first phase of the end now, but there's a lot more to come.For example, fire from heaven descends into the world.

The spread of madness is the doomsday in the spiritual sense, while the fire from heaven is the physical sense.

In any case, the coming of the sky fire seems to make their living space in the ultimate nightmare shrink sharply.

When the fire came to the world that day, what they were facing was the ruins after the end of the world, not the current situation, which was more or less a normal world.

In addition, Mu Jiashi has another hidden worry.

He said: "I once went to a nightmare of ruins. At that time, it should be after the fire of the sky... In that nightmare, we will feel hungry and thirsty."

Shen Yunju's expression gradually became distressed, and he said, "You mean...we will still be looking for food in the ultimate nightmare when the sky fire comes down?"

Mu Jiashi nodded: "Maybe we can start searching and preparing now."

Shen Yunju hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, and said, "Then let's go..."

They set out to find food, clean water, and a safe place where they could stay long term.

Mu Jiashi remained silent, drawing a gray and foggy route in his mind.They walked around this area for a long time, and then Mu Jiashi suddenly said: "The gray fog seems to surround the area we are in...."

They are looking for food in a supermarket.It seems that there is no need to pay, because the clerks have gone to nowhere, leaving only a pool of blood beside the cashier.

The two of them took some food and water quickly, but not much.

When they walked out of the supermarket, Mu Jiashi said that the gray fog had surrounded them.

Shen Yunju said: "Does this mean... we can only stay in this area?"

This is a commercial area, near Mujiashi University, the straight-line distance is no more than three kilometers.

However, at this moment, Qucheng University has been shrouded in gray fog.The thick mist might cover them soon.

Mu Jiashi thought for a long time, and finally said: "No, we have to leave."

If they want to leave, they have to go through layers of thick fog and find a correct direction.

This is a very dangerous thing, because they don't know what will happen when they enter the fog-covered area.

However, at the end of the road, Shen Yunju had already seen the figures of those lunatics.This shows that the gray fog has already rushed over here.

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Then, I'll go find the way."

Mu Jiashi was taken aback, and wanted to explain that he didn't mean it.But Shen Yunju has already made up his mind.

"I always feel that I am useless." Shen Yunju said, "In this team, you are far more important than me."

Mu Jiashi hesitated to speak.He is not a person who is used to sensationalism, he really wants to say something, but he doesn't know how to stop Shen Yunju's thoughts.

In the end, all he could say dryly was, "No, you did your part."

A smile appeared on Shen Yunju's stiff and dull face: "Now, I will contribute another share."

On the other side, Jiang Shuangmei also made this choice.

She said to Fei: "This is my own decision, you don't need to feel uncomfortable. God knows how much I want to go there with you when you go to Xu Beijin's nightmare.

"But I understand that I'm a burden, and I don't meet the criteria to enter that nightmare. But now...the ultimate nightmare—I can finally enter the gray fog!"

There was even a little excitement on Jiang Shuangmei's face.

She knew that it was difficult for her to meet her sister, and she even knew that her sister should still be stuck in the elevator instead of coming out with other crazy people.But she still made up her mind.

She and Fei were also trapped in an area surrounded by gray fog, and the situation they faced was more dangerous than Mu Jiashi and the others, because the lunatics they encountered seemed to be somewhat hostile to the two of them.

So they must get out of here quickly.

And Jiang Shuangmei decided to explore the way.

Exploring the path means that she decided to enter the gray fog first and walk a certain distance.If there is no danger, she will return the same way within 5 minutes.

If she lost her way, or encountered danger... In any case, if she failed to return within 5 minutes, it meant that Fei had to decide for herself whether it was necessary to risk going through the gray fog.

But in any case, pathfinding is necessary.

It would be best if Jiang Shuangmei returned safely;

And if Jiang Shuangmei hadn't returned, Fei could at least know that there was indeed a risk in the gray mist, even life-threatening.

Jiang Shuangmei murmured: "I hope that in this nightmare, I can be resurrected after death... At least, I can also become a lunatic in the gray mist."

To live is to have hope.

Fei lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something.

Jiang Shuangmei waved at her and took a step.

Then Fei said, "No, let's go together."

Jiang Shuangmei was stunned.

Fei raised her head, gritted her teeth, with tears in her eyes: "I don't need you to make such a sacrifice... Do you understand! Your sister has already fallen into a nightmare, and I can't just watch you do the same!

"If you go in now, and then you sink into it, then I—what is the difference between me and killing you with my own hands! I used to be a doctor, I can't do it...I can't watch a person die with my own eyes!"

She stepped forward, wiped away her tears, and forced a smile: "What's more, we don't necessarily die, right?"

Jiang Shuangmei looked at her blankly, and then said, "Yes. We can live on."

They walked into the gray fog together.

At the same time, Mu Jiashi sighed.He said to Shen Yunju: "You know me...you know I'm not a good person. I'm a bad person who puts interests first, the team first, and weighs everything."

Shen Yunju looked at him inexplicably, not understanding why Mu Jiashi started...uh, according to He Shujun, giving up on himself?

And Mu Jiashi really gave up on himself and said: "But... I mean...forget it." He stopped talking, hooked Shen Yunju's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go together."

Shen Yunju said: "So you are still not rotten."

"I just feel like, at this point in time, it doesn't seem necessary to weigh the pros and cons anymore."

Mu Jiashi finally said frankly, "We have reached the final moment of concerted efforts. Anyone's sacrifice can be avoided at this time.

"Because we either live together or die together."

Shen Yunju was speechless for a moment, and then said: "The implication is that when I need to sacrifice, you will still let me sacrifice without hesitation."

Mu Jiashi was startled, and then embarrassed.

Shen Yunju glanced at him sideways, showing a fresh, helpless mood swing for the first time, and then he patted Mu Jiashi on the head: "Yes, captain, you lead the way."

team leader.

It seems that after a long time, someone called Mu Jiashi so again.

Mu Jiashi was once called so in the gold digger team.Then he gave up everything and decided that his past was a crushing, hopeless failure.And now, once again, he was being called captain.

Mu Jiashi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Okay, follow me." He paused, "Also, don't pat my head."

"Speaking of which, you are still a student, so I am several years older than you..."

Mu Jiashi was speechless: "Then you can't pat my head... Forget it, you can do whatever you want."

They walked into the gray mist shoulder to shoulder, carrying bags of food and water in their hands.

The gray fog filled the air, covering their vision in an instant.

And Xu Beijin and Lin Po walked out of the narrow building almost at the same time.

With the magical bandages and medicines in the game, Xu Beijin's wound has already healed.But that hideous scar looks somewhat ugly.

Before leaving the narrow building, Xu Beijin went back to the bookstore and changed his clothes. The original shirt and trousers were also cut open, and they were still full of blood, so they couldn't be worn anymore.Xu Beijin, who was somewhat of a clean freak, decided to come back and change his clothes.

Lin Po's hand brushed against the new tender flesh on Xu Beijin's left arm, which grew quickly and felt a little itchy, so when Xu Beijin was touched by Lin Po's cold fingers, he trembled and almost dodged.

He looked sideways at Lin Po helplessly, and said, "What's so good about this? Isn't it ugly?"

A hideous scar about twenty centimeters long stretched across his arm like this.

The ones on the feet are fine, only three to four centimeters, and not too deep.But the wound on the arm is indeed shocking.

Xu Beijin didn't really want Lin Ao to pay attention to this wound. Based on... various moods, he might be a little guilty, or he didn't want Lin Ao to worry too much.

But no matter what, it was hard for him to avoid Ringo when he changed clothes.

So, inevitably, Ringo's gaze was fixed on that scar.

Originally, he could have looked at other places, but when the scar appeared, Lingo lost that thought.

He stared fixedly at the scar with an unclear look in his eyes.

After a while, Ringo said, "Is this scar... that won't go away?"

Xu Beijin glanced at him unexpectedly, and said hesitantly, "Me too...don't know?"

He's not sure, "Maybe it's hurting my character modeling."

He was injured at the edge of the narrow building, strictly speaking, it was not a normal game area.

Later, Xu Beijin said in a relaxed tone: "But you don't have to worry, I can use NE's authority to change the appearance of my character again. It won't leave scars."

Lin Po hesitated to speak, but finally gave up. He leaned over and gently kissed the scar on Xu Beijin's arm.

Xu Beijin looked at him quietly.

Lingo muttered, "It's not pretty, it's too ugly..."

Xu Bei couldn't help but wonder, this guy started to dislike him?

And Ringo said again: "It makes me feel that you are in pain."

Xu Beijin was startled, and then said: "It doesn't hurt anymore..."

"You said it was painful before."

"It was painful at that time. It really doesn't hurt now."

Ringo said, "If you change your character's appearance, will you feel pain?"

"No..." Now Xu Beijin gave a definite answer, "Really not, this is not a change in the game."

Ringo felt relieved.

Xu Beijin looked at him and thought, his little apple always cares about some little things.

He didn't care why Xu Beijin knew so much information about Zhailou, and he didn't care why Xu Beijin was able to contact the Milton family.

What he cared about was whether Xu Beijin would feel pain.

Just like before, Xu Bei was concerned about whether Ringo felt too dark in the border of the narrow building by himself.

Thinking about it, Xu Bei couldn't help laughing.

Ringo tilted his head to look at him in confusion.

Half of Xu Bei's shirt buttons were still unbuttoned, but seeing Lin Po's expression at the moment, he couldn't help it, and kissed him sideways.

Lin Po enthusiastically responded to him, and pinched the buttons of Xu Beijin's shirt, exerting force unconsciously, and then pulled one off.

After the kiss was over, Xu Beijin looked at his shirt helplessly, sighed, found another shirt from the closet, and put it on again.

Ringo pinched the button and stood there awkwardly.

Xu Beijin joked, "Little Apple, do you have to pay attention to your strange power, in case..."

Lingo sharply asked: "What if? What kind of situation do you want to talk about?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He was silent for a moment, and then became angry: "I don't want to say anything about the situation! You go away! I changed my clothes!"

Ringo didn't listen, but still stuck to it, buttoning Xu Bei's shirt all the way.The button he pulled off fell easily into Ringo's own pocket.

Xu Bei looked at him dumbfounded, and finally let him get dressed.

Lin Po looked at Xu Beijin who had changed his clothes again with satisfaction, then took his hand and said, "Let's go..."

They came to the buffer zone between the narrow building and the gray fog.

It was still night in the narrow building, but the light from unknown sources illuminated the open space outside the narrow building.

Now, the gray mist has penetrated into the area 50 meters away from the narrow building, and a hundred meters away, it has already become a place completely shrouded in fog.

Ringo asked, "So, where are we going to find that port?"

Xu Beijin said, "That's also a random place." He asked, "Where's the doorknob?"

When Xu Beijin came down from the top floor, Lingo took the doorknob back to the bookstore and put the doorknob there;

Just now after Xu Beijin changed his clothes, he asked Lin Po to put on the doorknob.

Lingo handed the doorknob to Xu Beijin.

"Login and logout are essentially one." Xu Beijin explained, "If you want to find the logout port, you have to use the login port on the control panel to verify, and then you can find the location of the logout port."

Only then did Lin Po suddenly understand why Xu Beijin said that he had to get down to find the last data port.

They can no longer get the taskers to go to Xu Beijin's nightmare, and then go to the top floor of the narrow building through the texture bug;

In other words, only Xu Beijin could come down, not Lin Po.

The only person who can freely pass through the narrow building at this moment is Xu Beijin.

Thinking of this, Lingo couldn't help asking: "Do you still need to go to the top floor again?"

Xu Bei paused.

Lingo narrowed his eyes: "So you still have to go?"

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, then said, "No, I'm not sure either. It depends..."

Ringo was a little annoyed, but finally held back.Subconsciously, he reached out to Xu Beijin's left arm, and touched it lightly.

"I won't get hurt again." Xu Bei promised, "I promised you."

Ringo laughed: "Just now you promised me that I would follow you wherever you go. But now you are going to the top floor of the narrow building again."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He felt wronged, touched his nose, and said, "It's not necessarily true. I try not to go."

"What does it depend on?"

Xu Beijin said: "Look...how the situation in the ultimate nightmare is going." He said, "If everything goes well, I don't need to go back to the top floor to wake up NE. If it doesn't go well...then I still get the top floor, Wake NE from hibernation."

Lingo thought to himself, then we have to look at the human beings in the ultimate nightmare...

He felt that most of those people were unreliable.

Lingo endured and endured, and finally said: "Then let's find that port first."

Xu Beijin nodded, and he lightly tapped the control panel that had been resting on his shoulder, and the control panel consciously zoomed in on him.

Ringo saw him operate it, and then put the door handle in front of the control panel.Then, a picture similar to a map was displayed in front of them.Among them, there is a golden light spot that is constantly flickering and jumping.

The login port changes every minute, but the logout port seems to change every three seconds.

It moved so fast that Lingo couldn't help asking, "Did we really find this thing?"

Xu Beijin said: "Don't worry. This port will only appear in the buffer zone between the narrow building and the fog. So, we just need to wait for the fog to compress its living space."

Sitting on the sidelines is the word that perfectly describes what they need to do now.

Then Ringo nodded.

He wanted to say, since this is the case, there is no need to come out so early.Xu Beijin still has an injury on his leg, why bother standing here by himself and waiting?

But he also knew that the earlier he came, the more sure he would be.What if that thing hit their hands directly?

Lin Po pondered inwardly, and then supported Xu Beijin, letting him use his strength to stand firm.

Xu Beijin gave him a helpless look, thinking that Ringo was really overprotective of him.

He did feel tired all the time, but he felt better after sleeping on the top floor of the narrow building for one night;

As for the wounds, they recovered quickly in the game, although the scars may not be able to recover.

No matter what, in Xu Beijin's heart, he is not as fragile as Ringo thought.

However, Xu Bei did his best, so he could only admit it.

They waited quietly, watching the jumping and flashing golden light spot on the control panel.

Once the point of light even jumped close to them, but the three-second distance made it too late for them to capture it.

But they also saw what that thing was.

The landing port is attached to the doorknob, while the logging out port is a rusty key buried under the barren land outside the narrow building.

It was because it was buried under the soil that Ringo couldn't react. He just dug the soil and hadn't had time to take it out.

Otherwise, with his speed, he could grab that port in his hand.

Fortunately, they now know what this thing looks like.

Next is still waiting.

The long wait made Xu Beijin feel a little bored. He turned on the live broadcast system and took a look at the situation of the ultimate nightmare.

Then he was taken aback.

In the ultimate nightmare, Skyfire came to the world.
