Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Get out of the promenade, get in the car, and rush to the service area at the fastest speed. It takes a total of 3 minutes.

And they had wasted 2 minutes in the corridor before.

The selfish ghost will report the number, and it will take 8 minutes to report eight numbers... no, 7 minutes.In other words, they only have 2 minutes left to collect information in this service area.

...But they don't know what the result will be if all the numbers are correct.

Thinking of this, the third child couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

In fact, one person should be left there, otherwise, they don't know what will happen after all the numbers are reported correctly.

And expect the selfish man to tell the truth?

The third child will not make such meaningless assumptions.

The dead ghost happened to be in the car he was sitting in now, so the youngest hesitated for a moment and asked directly, "What did you encounter in the last round of nightmare?"

The dead ghost rolled his eyes at him and said, "You want to know? That's fine... Anyway, things were going smoothly, but it was completely messed up by you."

He complained a few more times, looking very angry and unhappy.

The third child remained silent.

After a while, the dead ghost finally finished complaining, so he began to elaborate on what happened after he and the selfish ghost arrived at the service area in the last round of nightmares:

"After we arrived at the service area, we didn't know when you would suddenly end anyway... I was frightened by your first round of nightmares. So, we walked around the service area first, and the supermarket was at the bottom , It’s quite big, so the guy and I walked in to have a look.

"Because I was arguing with that guy at the time, talking about the man in black, and the cashier had a little reaction, so we asked... and then there was nothing. Hehe."

He sneered again.

In the front driver's seat, the second brother said to him: "It seems that you also want to stay in that dark room for a while?"

Sitting on the seat for the dead ghost, he stopped talking.

After listening to the process he described, the third child thought about it carefully, but couldn't find any problems.but……

To tell the truth, he didn't trust the selfish and the scapegoat.He can trust the boss and the second brother, he can trust Ding Yi, Mu Jiashi, and even Lin Po, but he can't fully trust these two taskers who clashed with them.

So he doubted their rhetoric.

But their actions in the mouth of the dead ghosts, it sounds like there is no problem...

Are they really telling the truth?

The third child couldn't help feeling worried, always feeling that some accidents would happen in this round of nightmares.

In the live broadcast room, when he saw seven names appearing below the scene of the service area, Xu Beijin knew that the group had arrived in the live broadcast room, so he switched his perspective to the service area.

Until then, he and the audience have been focusing on the selfish ghost in the dark bedroom.

After the rest of the taskers left, the selfish ghost stayed alone in the dark space without changing his expression. He still remembered the string of numbers that the third child told him before he left, and now he is idly reporting the number.

This surprised the audience: "Hey, is it hidden?"

"It doesn't look like IQ is that low...why are you so stupid to fight against everyone just now?"

"Maybe it was intentional? I just wanted to monopolize the results after reporting."

"...But, he doesn't know, have you figured out all the numbers here?"

"Actually... I have a question."

"Master reasoning, tell me."

"Have you ever paid attention to the problem of time?"

Xu Beijin had a flash of inspiration, and couldn't help but ask, "You mean, they lied to the other taskers?"

"what? What?"

"Ah! Beibei and the reasoning boss are so in harmony, why don't I understand anything [crying]"

"It's just...the last round of nightmares lasted at least 8 minutes. They stayed in the corridor for more than two minutes, plus the time on the way, so after arriving at the service area, they should have about 3 minutes for them to ask around. information.

"Do you think that these 3 minutes are enough for them to find out who in the service area has useful information?

"Beibei has taken us to the service area before. It is quite large and there are many people. Why can they find the cashier in the supermarket within 3 minutes? Besides, there are as many people as Beibei in the service area." A distraction is there."

"Damn it, it makes sense!"

"So they are deceiving people on purpose??"

"I think it's more likely that one of these two people knew some key information about this nightmare, so he was able to go straight to the cashier."

Seeing this speculation, Xu Bei couldn't help but add: "But in this case, another contradiction arises—if they already knew that the cashiers in the supermarket knew something, then how could 3 minutes not be enough?" Did they ask something?"

"Damn, Beibei is right!"

"Then they didn't deliberately conceal the key information... But is this necessary? Didn't it mean that the real ending will be played, and all the taskers in the instance will go up to the floor together??"

"Because they haven't been right? I don't think their irritability is fake. Maybe they really asked something, but because there is a dead person in the bedroom, they got stuck halfway."

"What I'm more curious about is...these two people who are not in the right place actually joined forces?"

"Not necessarily... They may have asked for information separately. Maybe the one who stayed in the bedroom knew something...?"

"But the two of them made trouble together just now."

"In this case, you say... will the taskers present find this timing problem? Could they have discovered it too, but didn't say it? Because they don't want to cooperate with this person in the bedroom either?"

"...I'm finished. Not only can I not solve the puzzle of the dungeon, but I don't even know what these missionaries are thinking."

"This game really isn't for me."

"Master reasoning, please."

"? Well... All I can think of is that they may have some information, they need to enter this bedroom, want to seize the opportunity... something like that? Just now they scolded a few people in the bedroom for being useless, maybe they also took advantage of the situation Going into the bedroom."

"Oh, I should have turned my perspective to them just now."

"But the reporting is also very anxious. It can only be said that there are too many scenes, and Beibei doesn't know how to adjust the angle of view... It really is because the director's quality is not good enough (no)."

"I'm sorry, it turned out to be Bei Dao [holding fists]"

"It's okay, TV dramas also need a little suspense to be good..."

"you're right."

The barrage in the live broadcast room was full of laughter again.For the audience, anyway, they are from the perspective of God. Although they will be entangled and curious, they can always know what they should know in the end.

Xu Beijin was a little concerned about this matter, after all, the behavior of the selfish ghost in the dark bedroom now is somewhat different from his usual irritable and brainless image.

But without knowing what happened to the selfish ghost and the dead ghost in the third round of nightmares, he was also helpless to deal with the current situation.

Maybe, he can ask Dai Wu again...?

This is the biggest advantage of him as an actor over taskers.

However, the last time I went to find Dai Wu, that guy was very mysterious; this time I wanted to ask clearly, but I don't know if the other party will tell him.

As he thought about it, he turned his perspective back to the service area.

Seven taskers walked into the service area in a mighty manner, and then scattered to search for clues.

The structure of the entire service area is roughly in the shape of a back, with the entrance at the bottom, a group of small shops and snack bars on both sides, public toilets, sinks, etc. on the left side of the interior, a large supermarket at the end, and some shops on the right , including Xu Beijin's bookstore.

In the open space in the middle, there are flower beds, benches and so on.

The dead ghost just said that he and the selfish ghost almost found out the identity of the man in black from the cashier in the supermarket, so now, he also went straight to the supermarket.

The third child, Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi all followed him, but the eldest brother and the second brother did not intend to go together, they went in other directions at will.

Naturally, no one cared about Lingo's movements, so he chose to go to the supermarket with the dead ghosts and the others.

The purpose...of course it is also for Xu Beijin's drink.

Ringo is stubborn yet simple, and will always work hard to accomplish what he wants to do.

If a few people want to go to the supermarket, they have to detour through the roads on both sides inside the service area.They naturally avoided the bathroom on the left and chose to pass through on the right.

Then Lin Po saw Xu Beijin in the bookstore.

His footsteps also naturally turned a corner and walked into the bookstore.

Xu Beijin: "..."

The perspective of the live broadcast room followed the rest of the people to the supermarket, and the audience didn't notice at all. In the small window in the lower right corner, their anchor was in trouble.

Ringo walked to the front of the counter and said, "Meet you again."

Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, and decided to ignore Lin Ao's question for the time being, and pretended that he did not know Lin Ao in the nightmare—it was like this, and Lin Ao didn't know that he was the actor!

All the taskers thought that the residents of the narrow buildings in the nightmare were just game NPCs one after another.

Questers don't confuse nightmares with narrow buildings.From their point of view, the residents of the Narrow House would not have any memory of the nightmare at all; even if they did, they would just regard it as a real nightmare.

However, the residents of the narrow building that appear in the nightmare basically have memories of the narrow building.If it is not the master of the nightmare, there will be no collapse like the nightmare, then the personality is almost the same.

Because of this, some questers acted mischievously in their nightmares, and pretended nothing had happened in the narrow building.Many cosplayers are unable to reveal their identities, but suffer from it. In the end, it is always the cosplayers' mental problems.

And if some crazy actors show that they remember what happened in the nightmare, then the taskers will think that, sure enough, the residents of these narrow buildings will eventually evolve into the crazy self in the nightmare.

To put it simply, for the tasker, under the premise of "an NPC is an NPC", whatever the player does will automatically give a reasonable explanation.What's more, many taskers really don't pay special attention to the residents of the narrow building.

They determined early on that the residents of the narrow building were a group of lunatics who were not surprised to behave strangely, a group of useless waste and fools.

This predicament has made countless cosplayers feel fear and despair.Sometimes, even if they want to use various means to hint their identity as actors, their compatriots never believe them.

It is even said that the taskers in the narrow building ignore the habits of the residents of the narrow building, and it is said that the former residents of the narrow building have done too many weird behaviors, making the taskers feel that they are a bunch of psychopaths.

Some taskers also said that it seems that NE's intelligence is not bad, and it can show such a crazy and smart side.

No tasker believes that the residents of this group of narrow buildings are also human beings.

The residents of the narrow building always have various defects, whether it is physical or mental.Because of this, the vast majority of taskers disdain their company.

And when they met the residents of the corresponding narrow building in the nightmare, this idea became even more certain.

Although the taskers will also be mad and decadent, but the performance of the nightmare master in the nightmare will make people wonder, can any human being become like this?

Therefore, unless it is to obtain the information in the nightmare, otherwise, very few taskers will take the initiative to deal with the residents of the narrow building.

It can be said that it is very rare to see a strange tasker like Ringo chasing from the narrow building to the nightmare, and from the nightmare to the narrow building.Not to mention that every time he saw Xu Beijin, he opened his mouth and said, "Let's fight".

As time goes by, Xu Beijin doesn't even remember whether he has really played his role well in front of Ringo.Could he have exposed his flaws somewhere?

But this time, Xu Bei was determined to ignore Ringo's appeal.

He stood up, showed a standard smile according to the professionalism of a group performer, and said to Ringo: "Hello, is there anything you want to buy?"

Ringo said: "Buy all the books in your bookstore, can you fight with me?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He went to see Ringo in disbelief, and found that the baby-faced man tilted his head and looked at him with a very serious expression, as if he was really thinking about this possibility.

Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "No."

Ringo let out a disappointment: "But I'm preparing a drink... I'll give it to you then."

Xu Beijin was slightly taken aback, then sighed, and stopped talking.

Ringo looked at him expectantly.

Xu Bei thought to himself, what does it mean for Ringo to want to fight him all the time?Why is Ringo so persistent?

In the narrow building, there is such a clear goal—even though the goal is himself...

Xu Beijin lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Sorry."

After getting the expected answer, Lin Po couldn't help sighing boredly. He looked at Xu Beijin, and asked with some reluctance: "Is there something I can't do enough? You like drinks, so I'll help you find .Can you still fight me like this? I really want to know..."

"I can't beat you." Xu Beijin said, "I really want to know why you think..."

"No." Ringo said firmly, "You might beat me. You...you are special."

Xu Beijin said distressedly, "I don't know what makes me special to you, but... I don't know how to fight, and I won't fight with you." He also said very firmly, "Even if you bribe me with drinks .”

"One hundred bottles."

"I..." Xu Beijin almost bit his tongue, "No way!"

Lingo stood up straight, frowned and said, "Even if I contract you drinks for a lifetime?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He shook his head firmly, feeling very speechless in his heart.

What do you think you are doing, this kind of thing can also be contracted for a lifetime?

If it wasn't for Xu Beijin's good temper, he might have been annoyed to death by Lingo's stalking.In fact he was almost bored to death.

Lingo said again: "But you are obviously fascinated by drinks."

"I do not……"

"You have." Lingo added, "You obviously like drinks, so if I give you what you like, can't you be excited about the fights I like? My instinct tells me that you are indeed prepared for me. The drinks are very heartwarming."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He was irritated, and he said firmly, "If you don't fight, you don't fight."

Lingo, who was rejected again, sat down on the stool at the door of the bookstore unhappily.

... This scene seems a little familiar.

Xu Beijin hated secretly, thinking that after the next round of nightmares began, he would take that damned stool away!

Everything is like a repeat of the previous nightmare.Lin Po sat at the door of the bookstore, while Xu Beijin sat behind the counter, silently watching the live broadcast, unable to interact with the audience in the live broadcast room.

He thought, Lin Ao was born to conquer him, right?

Intuition... something.

……yes!He was very excited about the drink that Ringo said! That's right!

But he also firmly does not want to fight with Ringo!

It sounds like he will be hanged and beaten badly... Xu Beijin only hopes that time will wear off Lin's interest in him.

He sighed in his heart, and silently took a sip of plain water.

Lingo interjected at the right time, "Drinks..."

"Do not hit."

"Oh."

The bookstore fell into an awkward silence again.

Xu Beijin was completely desperate.

Is this any different from the last nightmare?

Have it?no.

Same bookstore.same self.The same for Ringo.Same stool.Same silence.

It is a rare meeting in life, he and Lino meet again.

...He should actually drive Ringo out.But Xu Beijin, a guy who can bend and stretch, doesn't have the courage.

His only courage may have been spent in rejecting Ringo's invitation to fight.

In the end, Xu Bei could only pay attention to the situation of the other taskers in the live broadcast room.

It was as if this could save him from the embarrassing situation he was in now.

In the live broadcast room, the four taskers, Dai Shigui, Mu Jiashi, Ding Yi, and the third child, found the supermarket cashier that Dai Shigui and the selfish ghost called Dai Wu.

But at that time, Dai Wu didn't tell him what clues he had, but now, Xu Beijin couldn't help wondering what Dai Wu knew.

Mu Jiashi, the third child and Ding Yi didn't speak, so instead they took the initiative to go forward for the dead ghost and communicate with Dai Wu.

"Hello, we just met a man in black who chased us down..." Although the dead ghost with no acting skills said something very urgent, his tone was straightforward without the slightest sense of tension, "You know who he is ?"

From the perspective of the taskers, Dai Wu in front of them is a tool NPC who provides information. As long as the corresponding keywords are mentioned, the NPC will of course tell them relevant information.

Sure enough, the supermarket cashier also showed a slightly nervous expression. He said, "The man in black...? Is he holding a machete?"

"Correct!"

The face of the cashier changed suddenly. He hesitated and didn't speak. Under the questioning of the taskers, he said: "I...I know some rumors. It is said that there was a murder in this small town. Wife case..."

"Wife murder?!"

The cashier nodded: "After the incident, the murderer went somewhere. People in the town are spreading rumors that his murder tool was a machete. That's why he chopped his wife into... ..."

He couldn't continue, showing a mixture of fear and disgust.

Four taskers stood in a row in front of him.

The third child couldn't help but said, "So, is the man in black the murderer?"

The cashier hesitated, then nodded.He quickly added: "I'm not sure, really. It's just that you said machetes... that's all I can think of."

"Then what else do you know about the wife murder case?"

The cashier shook his head: "I'm not sure..." He said with an expression of reminiscence, "Oh, by the way, it is said that this couple has a son who is less than ten years old?"

"son?"

Mu Jiashi subconsciously repeated.

Ding Yi suddenly said: "Third brother, I heard from your companion that before you entered this nightmare, you met a little boy. Could that little boy be the surviving child?"

The third child hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "It's possible."

"Then the surviving child is the owner of the nightmare?" Mu Jiashi asked back, "This can explain the source of the nightmare. His father killed his mother..."

Ding Yi nodded.She asked again: "Don't you know who the owner of the nightmare is? Sorry, I mean..."

"I don't know." Instead, Mu Jiashi said frankly, "I just picked a portal and went in, and I didn't care what the nightmare was."

Ding Yi was stunned.

She also thought that Mu Jiashi's return to the bottom of the narrow building was to regain his strength and once again make his name famous. Therefore, of course, he would only enter the nightmare when he was fully prepared, in order to make a final decision.

However, he was actually a nightmare chosen at random?

Is he so confident in himself?Confident you won't get lost in the nightmare of unprepared?

There is indeed no information circulating in the narrow building about the little boy's nightmare.However, the reason why Ding Yi chose this nightmare was because she knew that Lingo was here, and Mu Jiashi was also here.This gave her a little confidence.

And the three people on the third side had had direct contact with the little boy in the narrow building.

They all came prepared, but Mu Jiashi...

Mu Jiashi lowered his eyes and smiled wryly.

He said, "You should know why I went back to the ground floor of the narrow building." He rubbed his cheeks and sighed, "All I can say is, I'm a total loser, ma'am."

Ding Yi remained silent.She wanted to ask, because of that failure, did you choose to give up on yourself now?

However, Ding Yi's introverted and calm personality, coupled with the presence of other missionaries, made her unwilling to poke Mu Jiashi's wound at this time.

Moreover, judging from Mu Jiashi's performance in this nightmare, she knew that Mu Jiashi was still the powerful gold digger who once caused a moment of trouble at the bottom of the narrow building.

only……

He did suffer a disastrous defeat.

The dead ghost said impatiently from the side: "I don't know what you are talking about... Anyway, please pay attention to the next occasion? We don't have much time!"

"Sorry." Mu Jiashi was the first to apologize. He thought for a while, and then asked the cashier, "That kid, do you know some information about him?"

The cashier shook his head: "I don't know. It seems... It has been missing for a long time."

Mu Jiashi nodded thoughtfully.

The mother was killed, the father was at large, and the child was missing.It sounds like this might be the problem to solve in their nightmare.

He turned around and was about to discuss it with other people, when he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, after hearing what the supermarket cashier said, there was a slightly astonished expression on the face of the dead ghost.
