Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

It's a dark room.

The four taskers in the room couldn't see the situation in the room clearly in the darkness, but the live broadcast room provided the night vision function, allowing Xu Bei to barely see what the room looked like.

It can be seen from the gray and green live broadcast room that this room is a bedroom, about ten square meters, with a large bed in the middle, bedside tables on both sides, and a wardrobe outside by the door.

The curtains were clearly drawn, but the windows did not cast the slightest light.It was pitch black outside, and even though it might be night, there were no stars or the light of the moon.

It seems that this dark room is the main scene of the master of the nightmare.

Because it's night vision, that's the only thing that can be seen clearly on the gray screen.

Xu Beijin could only see this, and the four taskers in the room knew nothing.In the panic and confusion, when they just entered the nightmare, another loud noise exploded directly in their ears.

"Count the numbers!"

count?What report?

They groped around in the dark, and finally made sure that there were four people around them, and they started chatting again.

Among them, someone was very vigilant and called out "one" according to the voice's request.

After about a minute, another violent "report!" exploded in their ears.

The man who spoke first said with some anxiety: "No...it can't be like this...Let's, let's see what's around us?"

Someone answered him: "Yes. Third, stand still and we will search around you."

The third child stood still obediently: "Okay, second brother."

The other three taskers dispersed spontaneously.

However... the title of the third child made Xu Beijin, who was watching the progress here through the live broadcast room, suddenly froze for a moment. His memory flashed back to a few days ago. A conversation between two men.

He frowned and thought about it, and then thought, so, is this nightmare the nightmare of the little boy who always chanted a string of numbers as the three said?

Thinking back to that time, one of the three people said that he saw the little boy running in the direction of Ringo, chased him but did not see anyone, and was chased out by the impatient Ringo...

Xu Beijin suddenly had a strange idea.

Ringo appeared in this nightmare, couldn't it be because he did meet that little boy, right?

Speaking of Ringo, at this time Ringo is not in this dark room.After these taskers came to this nightmare, they were divided into two groups.

A thought flashed through Xu Beijin's mind, and when he continued to focus on the live broadcast, he found some bullet screens floating in the live broadcast.

There is an audience coming in.

"Hi Bei Bei!"

"Beibei is finally on the air! Woohoo, I miss you so much these days [Xin]"

"Hey, new anchor? The new anchor dares to break into the big quagmire of horror game live broadcasts. I have some ideas. For your courage, I will follow you first!"

"New audience! Welcome, we are handsome and cute, and there is also a reasoning boss in the live broadcast room. It is not a loss to invest in it."

"Looking at Beibei's followers, it's a lonely 5. It's miserable."

"Yeah, the current number of viewers is only 4... It's getting worse."

"It can only be said that the horror game live broadcast is so unpopular... It's bad. The anchor dare not broadcast it, and the audience dare not watch it. I can only say that Beibei is so handsome, I can't help but watch it."

"...In the era of screen games, the anchors didn't change their faces when they saw the ghosts popping up on the screen, but now in the era of brainwave access... Heh, everyone is scared."

"The courage of the anchors cannot keep up with the speed of technological development."

"However, Bei, as an anchor, how can you start the broadcast only once in a few days? Do you want to become popular?"

The enthusiastic audience overwhelmed Xu Beiji for a moment. He greeted the audience, and then, under the sweet words of the audience, he was helpless—and agreed to broadcast more in the future.

Xu Beijin: "..."

It's not up to him to decide whether to broadcast it or not!

Or take the audience to visit the inside of the narrow building in the future?Or, go to the more lively areas where the taskers gather?

Xu Bei thought about it for a moment, then temporarily let go of these thoughts and watched the live broadcast with the audience.

The audience sighed again: "Oh, today's Bei is also a tool man."

"? In that case, can Beibei give us a little spoiler?"

"Don't, don't, it's boring."

“[Laughing and crying] The reasoning boss is still the reasoning boss.”

The audience chatted and gave new audiences an overview of the game, while looking at the dark room, where the four missionaries continued to explore the dark room.

They groped forward and found the bed, wardrobe and bedside table, and then they all understood that this was a bedroom.

The third child murmured to himself: "The bedroom... the counting... the little boy..."

His companion asked him carelessly: "Sir, do you want to say 'two' first?"

"Let's talk." The third child hesitated for a moment, then said, "Be cautious the first time...well, yes... try to collect as much information as possible."

The third child doesn't seem to be a very confident person, so although he acts as a think tank in the three-person team, he still uses a soliciting tone for what he says and does.

In contrast, the second brother he was talking about was the one who clearly proposed a plan of action.

As for the boss...

"Oh shit!" the boss yelled, "What did I hit? It hurts me to death!"

The whole grumpy old man.

"Boss, are you fucking annoying?" The second brother yelled impatiently, and then said loudly into the air, "Two!"

They waited for a while, and nothing special happened.

A few people looked at each other in dismay, thinking, could this nightmare really end just by reporting the numbers normally?

At this time, there were four taskers in the room, except for the three men who knew each other, there was one who suddenly said softly, "I think...should I try to leave this room first?"

After she spoke, the rest of the taskers realized that she was a woman.Before that, she hadn't participated in their conversations and seemed very withdrawn.

"Yes, you can try..." The third child also responded softly, "But...you have to finish exploring this room first."

"I have no opinion."

After finishing speaking, the introverted woman stopped talking completely.

A few people fumbled around the room in the dark, and after a while, they were all discouraged.

The boss said: "Damn, this wardrobe is poisonous, it can't be opened at all."

The second brother said: "The bedside table and the window can't be opened, it seems that there is nothing to explore. What's going on with this nightmare?"

After another moment, the introverted girl said softly, "I seem...to touch the doorknob, but I can't open it either."

There are doors and windows, but they cannot be opened; there are bedside tables and wardrobes, but they cannot be opened either.The bed is floor-to-ceiling, and there is no space to hide things underneath.In this way, although this room is a bedroom, it is no different from an empty room.

The boss suddenly lost his temper: "Is this boring?" He shouted loudly, "I said that the little boy has a ghost, and you still don't believe it!"

"Okay, don't bb." The second brother rolled his eyes, "Are you shouting so loudly to cover up your true fear of the dark?"

"Who, who is afraid of the dark! You fucking tell me clearly!"

No one cares about the boss.

They didn't speak, and such a completely dark room and view really made people feel a little panicked.

At least the audience in the live broadcast room said tremblingly: "Bei, Bei, can you show us some pictures of Yangjian?"

It would be fine if the live broadcast screen was all black, but now the gray night vision, combined with the glowing human eyes, made the audience feel bad all of a sudden.

Xu Beijin was okay, because he was thinking about what this dark room meant in his nightmare.Presumably the reasoning boss who had been silent all this time was also lost in thought.

But now that the audience said so, Xu Beijin came back to his senses, adjusted the viewing angle of the screen, and also opened the small window mode, placing his own screen in the lower right corner.

In this nightmare, there are several scenes to choose from. Xu Beijin took a rough scan and saw bedrooms, corridors, parking lots, highways, and service areas. Among them, the service area was divided into several secondary scenes. Among them are bookstores, supermarkets and gas stations and so on.

There are so many scenes, but in fact the taskers are only divided into two batches.Now one group is in the bedroom, and the other group is in the corridor.

Although Xu Beijin's fearful Ringo was among the names following the corridor, but he only hesitated for a moment before adjusting his perspective.

The taskers in the corridor were running and arguing.

There are also four taskers here, one of whom is Lin Po, and there are three men left, two of whom are arguing, and the remaining one, Xu Beijin looks a little familiar.

Before he figured out who this person was, he first doubted life.

Is it so easy to meet acquaintances in nightmares now? !

And the two were still arguing.

"Are you sick? Did you just push me?"

"Then what do you want me to do? Convict you, or protect you? Can you wake up? We are in a nightmare, and I don't want to die."

"If you don't want to die, you can let me die? Well, I haven't seen such a selfish ghost like you for a long time!"

"Selfish? Everyone is just trying to survive in this damn game. You scold me for being selfish. You have the ability to be a saint. Will you stand in front of me later? I must be very, very grateful to you."

"You idiot, you wait, I will push you out when the man in black catches up!"

"Hehe, you and I are the same."

Another man said weakly: "Hey... can you two stop this low-level quarrel? We are being hunted down..."

Yes, as he said, they were being hunted.A man in black clothes and a black mask, carrying a machete, was chasing after them at a fast pace.

And the reason for the quarrel between the two taskers is also very simple.

When they had just entered this nightmare, one of them—the man who was scolded as a selfish ghost, was startled by the man who was suddenly chasing him with a machete behind him, so he subconsciously pushed the tasker beside him out.

This kind of behavior disgusted the man enough, so although he was not cut by the machete of the man in black, he ran out immediately, but he was scolding that selfish ghost all the way, wishing to kick this guy go out.

And the selfish man replied cursing.

It is true that missionaries are not allowed to kill each other, but it is still not uncommon for this kind of side-balling and pushing others to die.

Although once you meet this kind of person, it will probably be... a whole nightmare will be over.

Not to mention the real ending, thank God for being able to mix up a normal ending.

So, the tasker who was pushed out to take the place of the dead ghost replied very unconvinced: "I want to quarrel? This is not fucking ranked and he cheated on me. This is a nightmare!"

The man who spoke for the dead ghost also fell silent, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally said nothing.

Ringo said impatiently, "Run out first and then talk."

A man in black behind him was chasing after him with a machete, and they were just chattering here?Really relying on the man in black to run slowly?

Ringo was speechless with such a character.

He seriously thought, is it because he has had too many nightmares lately that he has encountered strange people who quarreled in nightmares twice in a row?Maybe he could take a break...?

For Ringo, whether he can enter the nightmare is nothing more than a question of whether he will be too boring in the narrow building.

While thinking, he ran out of the corridor without stopping.

Walking out of the corridor, the light suddenly brightened.Outside is an open space, and there is a fork that connects the open space with a wider road going out.

This is a parking lot, and there are a few cars parked randomly on the open space.

The man who had been listless all of a sudden said in shock: "This is not going to be a road chase, is it?!"

Thirty seconds later, when the man in black chased out of the promenade, opened the door of a car and stepped in, the rest of the taskers all glared at the poisonous milk guy.

The man said awkwardly: "So...Which one of us will drive?"

"you will not?"

"Ah... I'm really a waste." He sighed, "I'm not very good at driving. I'm afraid of being caught up if something goes wrong in this kind of pursuit."

After cursing a few words on behalf of the dead ghost, he said, "Let me drive."

The selfish man sneered: "You are the Holy Mother, admit it."

As soon as he rolled his sleeves for the dead ghost, he wanted to hit someone, but seeing that the man in black had already started his car and rushed towards them, he held back.

The four missionaries quickly chose a car to go up.Ringo sat in the co-pilot, and the other two sat in the back seat.

The car started and sped out of the clearing, while the listless man looked out the window, thinking of the few cars still parked in the clearing.

He couldn't help muttering to himself: "Different cars... It seems that the performance is not the same. If the nightmare collapses later and the speed of the man in black becomes faster, maybe we have to grab a suitable car here in advance, or even They should go in batches, four people, one car per person is the best... No, no, it will restart if one dies. We still have to divide the cars according to the driving skills..."

"What are you babbling about?" the dead ghost asked irritably while driving, "The speed of this man in black is ridiculously slow. I only drove sixty yards before he disappeared."

But the man in the back seat said: "Slow now, doesn't mean slow in the future."

The rest of the people in the car were startled, except for Lingo who had been expressionless.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm a waste, don't listen to me..." The man sighed and scratched his hair, "Don't believe me. I'll just talk casually."

That's what he said, but what he said made sense.

The dead ghost frowned in confusion.

Xu Beijin in front of the live broadcast room also frowned in confusion.

Because he had already remembered the identity of this man he was somewhat familiar with.

His name is Mu Jiashi.

A long time ago, Xu Beijin had contact with Mu Jiashi.At that time, many missionaries in the narrow building were curious about Xu Beijin's nightmare, so many missionaries began to stalk Xu Beijin, including Mu Jiashi.

But Xu Beijin kept avoiding talking about his nightmare, and the discouraged Mu Jiashi casually gave Xu Beijin the drink he got.Xu Beijin felt embarrassed, so he attached a clue about the nightmare, and Mu Jiashi used it to successfully achieve the true ending.

Before that, Mu Jiashi’s name had already been well-known on the ground floor of Narrow Building. The main reason was that he was in the business of leading the boss—bringing customers to higher floors.

This kind of business is not uncommon in narrow buildings, because as long as a nightmare has a true ending, all questers present can go to higher floors, which is mutually beneficial.

This kind of occupation with a boss is called a thug; if you are more polite, you may be called a gold digger.

In the narrow building, these gold diggers belong to different organizations, some are more famous, and some are very small workshops.In general, there are no rules and restrictions anyway, being tricked and cheated are very common things and not formal.

After taking the boss to fight up, the gold diggers will consciously play a few bad endings, and then return to the original floor to continue leading the boss.If you bring too much with the boss, or if you don't want to go back, you can stop at a higher level.

However, the difficulty of higher-level nightmares is obviously not comparable to that of lower-level nightmares.Therefore, maintaining the success rate is also an issue.

Many gold diggers went up and down in the narrow building, tossing back and forth, but the success rate was always unsatisfactory, and their careers ended in dismal.

As for Mu Jiashi, the reason why he is called the boss is because his success rate is [-]%.Although he only brought in the bottom bosses, it was an impressive enough record.

However, after setting this record, for some unknown reason, he chose to leave his gold digger organization and venture out on his own.Then, he got some clues from Xu Beijin and went to a higher floor.

Further back...

He went back to the bottom?

Xu Bei could not help but feel puzzled.

Why is Mu Jiashi back again?Is it because of hitting a wall on a higher floor?

But in his current state... Yan must call himself a waste, what kind of stimulation is this?

The Mu Jiashi that Xu Beijin met once, although not high-spirited and complacent, was full of self-confidence.After all, this is the boss who has a 100% true ending to the bottom-level nightmare.

However, this decadent and listless man is actually the old boss Mu Jiashi?

What happened to him?

Xu Beijin was thinking suspiciously when suddenly, someone knocked on the counter in front of him.

He looked up in surprise, and saw a young man standing in front of him, and asked him with a smile: "Hi, this is the first time I see you, are you interested in joining our battle to defeat NE?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

ha?

He was at a loss for a moment, then shook his head and responded flatly: "Sorry, I don't want to."

The young man didn't seem surprised. He shrugged and said coolly, "Okay, then I'll ask you when you want to join."

After speaking, he walked out.

Xu Beijin: "..."

Could it be that he met Ringo No. [-]?

No, no, Ringo is much more annoying than this young man.

Xu Bei sighed for a moment with a headache.

What's going on, it feels like his life like stagnant water has suddenly changed since the last nightmare.

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room was already full of: "North and North, what is NE?"

Like little chicks waiting to be fed.

Xu Bei regained his composure, and explained: "The game "Escape from Heaven" has a mastermind who controls the overall situation, and we call it NE."

"I see."

"Hey, I didn't expect that this game even has a special title for mastermind."

"The reasoning boss said that the player may play an NPC, so will the main brain also...?"

"? This brain hole... But if you randomly get to the main brain, isn't it invincible? There is no game experience."

"A set of magical costumes at the beginning, one knife 999, are you unhappy?"

"Compared to this, I'm more curious about why they want to defeat NE... Is there any inside story?"

"An analysis by the reasoning boss?"

"The amount of information is too little... The only thing I can think of is that the main brain has a lot of restrictions on the player, so the player can't stand it anymore and wants to resist?"

"Isn't it just a matter of reporting this directly to the game company?"

"So... the mastermind is a real object, not a piece of virtual data? The defeated object should always be a real object, right?"

"Maybe it's because the feedback is useless, so you want to do something in the game? Protest to the game company? Listen to what Beibei said before, it may be difficult to change the created character."

"Laughing to death, I think this group of players are really good at playing."

Xu Beijin smiled wryly in his heart, his face was indifferent.

He thought, player... yes, player.

They are indeed players.However, they are players who cannot leave the game.All they could find to resist was the Mastermind.

In addition, the so-called big battle to defeat NE does not really point at NE, but those cosplayers who have collapsed or even completely sunk into the roles they played.

They tried to use a hope that sounded very good, so that the desperate actors could find some light, at least for the time being, to maintain their sobriety and reason.

As for after?

No one knows what the future will hold.

Escape, die, or... sink into a nightmare of collapse?

The audience thought that this was game players looking for fun. They would never think that this was just absurd and unreasonable self-help behavior of human beings when they were desperate.

That young man who wasn't particularly serious, perhaps, was just doing something he didn't even know was there, rescue?

In his opinion, maybe Xu Beijin is hopeless.

Just as Xu Beijin was thinking, another barrage floated across the screen.

"Speaking of which, NE...'what'?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

His expression couldn't be stretched at that time, he hesitated to speak, and he hesitated to speak.

Finally he held back.

OK, what about.
