Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

When the tasker was squatting on the toilet, Xu Beijin considerately shifted the perspective of the live broadcast room.

The audience didn't care about the movements of the tasker. On the contrary, they were discussing the miraculous flushing of the toilet just now, and whether there were ghosts in the nightmare.

Because the reasoning boss is not there, their discussions seem to be a hammer and a club, illogical, and they talk about wherever they think.In the end, the four spectators themselves were discouraged.

Xu Bei just chatted with them and didn't participate in it. He switched different perspectives on his own, wanting to observe the movements of other taskers.

The audience is again instructing the newcomer on how to use the live broadcast system: "Bei, you can actually have multiple viewing angles on the same screen."

Xu Beijin glanced at the barrage, showing a confused expression: "What...where is it?"

"Select several image sources at the same time? As I remember, they can be displayed on the same screen."

"That's right! Beibei, try it!"

Xu Bei tried everything he said, and finally, he opened the perspectives of the six taskers at the same time.The name that was left out was naturally the thin man who was still squatting in the toilet.

Thinking about it, Xu Bei absolutely sympathized with what happened to this tasker.

This is the same as sudden diarrhea while playing a game. It is inevitable but it makes people feel grassy.What's more, it's still in a game like "Escape from Heaven".

But... Xu Beijin thought again, this matter itself is quite strange.

There is no physiological need for eating and drinking in the narrow building. Although you can eat and drink, but Laza... no one has tried it anyway.

It's as if Xu Beijin hasn't slept in all these years, but apart from his poor mental state, always feeling sleepy and easily distracted, there is actually no major problem.

This is true in the narrow building, not to mention in the nightmare.

Apart from the eccentricity of the tasker himself in squatting in the toilet, Xu Beijin can only think that this may be a special setting in the nightmare, or even...it hints at something.

Aside from the tasker who showed strange symptoms, the rest of the taskers actually remained on hold, fighting against the invisible sight in the apartment.

It's just that because the line of sight is invisible, in the eyes of the audience, they are fighting wits and courage with the air.

Time passed little by little.

When Ringo had almost explored the entire apartment, Jiang Shuangjie, who had been trying to open the door, also made gratifying progress.

With a click, the door that had been unable to be opened could suddenly be opened.

At this point, an hour had passed since they entered this nightmare.The clock hanging on the wall of the living room clearly shows the length of this period of time.

After a long and futile wait, Sister Jiang opened the door without thinking after confirming the time, and walked out of the apartment.

Behind her, invisible, cold eyes swept over her back.It seems that as long as the master goes out, there will be such a few eyes projected on the master's back.

Sister Jiang couldn't help but stiffen, she straightened her back and walked out.

The door closed slowly behind her, and the smart fingerprint lock made a crisp sound, indicating that the door was locked.

Sister Jiang hesitated for a moment, and instead of rushing to explore in this apartment building, she turned around first and checked the fingerprint lock on the door.She used her fingerprint to identify it, and she was relieved that the identification was successful.

But when she subconsciously pressed the doorknob to open it, she failed.Just as this door locked her in just now, now this door also shuts her out.

Sister Jiang Shuang frowned, hesitated for a while.Finally, she took this matter to heart, and then turned to look at the inner structure of the apartment building.

This is obviously a high-end apartment building, and its high cost can be seen only from the marble floor and the bright crystal lights in the elevator room.The internal structure of the apartment building is generally long. There are three elevators on both sides of the corridor, and there are 11 households on the first floor.

The apartment that Jiang Shuangjie just walked out of is Room 807.Room 808 is next door to her.

She didn't know if anyone was in room 808, she didn't even know how many people were in this nightmare.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a palpitation, and instantly frowned in pain.

She muttered: "Shuangshuang..."

That kind of pain came fiercely and went strangely.Soon she no longer felt strange, but inevitably frowned a little uneasy, worried about what happened to her twin sister.

They often have this kind of magical experience that is almost telepathic.Sometimes Jiang Shuangjie even felt that it was just an illusion, and there was nothing wrong with her heart.

However, in the nightmare of the narrow building, this peculiar physique did save them many times.Sister Jiang suspects that this may be because they are in the same game now, and the game magnifies the characteristics of their twins.

And Jiang Shuangmei never cared about this matter, even if Jiang Shuangmei mentioned it, she just smiled and said: "Oh, my sister, this is a good thing, Goldfinger!"

Jiang Shuangjie's twin sister has always been this inconspicuous look.She survives under the protection of her powerful older sister.In nightmares, Sister Jiang is often the brain of their small team, and Sister Jiang is the executor who obeys without thinking.

Earlier, when Ding Yi was still there, Ding Yi, who had a slightly thinner presence and was less conspicuous, would be responsible for collecting information and sorting it out for Sister Jiang; Sister Jiang was responsible for analysis and decision-making; Sister Jiang was responsible for follow-up specific actions.

I don't know if it's because of her natural physical problems, but Jiang Shuangjie's personal panel strength is far inferior to that of her healthy and lively younger sister.Although, if we only talk about fighting alone, Jiang Shuangmei, who is unwilling to use his brain, will definitely not be able to beat Jiang Shuangjie.

Jiang Shuangmei is timid, her IQ is not high, and her beliefs are not firm enough... But she is Jiang Shuangjie's younger sister, and she is Jiang Shuangjie's only companion and family member in this gloomy and lonely narrow building.

... She didn't know if something happened to Jiang Shuangmei now.

On the bright side, the nightmare is still going on, which means that at least no one died; but, if Jiang Shuangmei encounters the same cold eyes and inexplicable apartment furniture as she just encountered... Then Jiang Shuangmei will be even more worried about her sister.

She knew that Jiang Shuangmei was afraid of these weird things.

And this nightmare... At least until now, Sister Jiang hasn't figured out what is going on in this nightmare.

She regretted it again.Should not be so impulsive.

Even because of their love for Ding Yi...they shouldn't be so impulsive.At least he should choose a more familiar nightmare, instead of following the two familiar questers into the portal.

Yes, she believed that those two taskers were strong enough... Or, she believed in the people under Ding Yi's subordinates.

But... they should be more cautious.

Sister Jiang took a deep breath, temporarily putting aside all kinds of suspicions about this nightmare, as well as all kinds of thoughts about the past and Ding Yi.She wants to find her sister first.

She walked to the elevator.

At this time, the lights in the corridor flickered twice like an electric shock, which startled Sister Jiang.She continued to walk forward, but her pace still slowed down involuntarily.

She clenched her fingers and looked around warily.

Everything fell silent.This apartment building is like sleeping at night.Only the slight running sound of central air conditioners and elevators remained in my ears.

then……

It was as if a pair of invisible eyes had opened, and a substantial gaze suddenly turned to Sister Jiang's back.

Behind her...!

She turned around and looked behind her almost without hesitation, but there was still nothing behind her.And that gaze seemed to have changed direction as she turned around, still looking quietly at her back.Whatever direction she turned, he watched her from the opposite direction.

Sister Jiang's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, she kept turning around, and finally gave up this futile action.

She gradually quickened her pace, ran to the elevator, and pressed the down button quickly and without hesitation.Still being watched by that gaze on her back, it made her skin crawl.She murmured in a low voice: "Hurry up... hurry up, hurry up..."

Not long after, the elevator arrived with a ding. Sister Jiang walked into the elevator, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the button for the fourth floor.Then he squatted in the corner of the elevator, trembling slightly.

At this moment, the expressions of her and her twin sister are surprisingly similar.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was confused by her series of actions.They don't know that in this weird apartment, there will be invisible sights watching these taskers anytime and anywhere.They can't understand the feeling of being watched.

"? What's going on, is there any monster in the corridor?"

"I don't understand... It feels like every missionary is panicking, but I can't tell what they are afraid of from the live broadcast room."

"There was a man holding a toilet brush in broad daylight, and then a woman fled into the elevator without knowing it."

"Hengpi: The apartment is poisonous."

"Beibeibeibei, what do you think?"

Xu Bei stared at the shivering woman in the elevator in the studio.It wasn't until the elevator reached the fourth floor that the calm mechanical male voice reminded her that "the fourth floor is here", and she walked out of the elevator tremblingly, still looking restless.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "My opinion..." He paused habitually, "My opinion is actually very simple. Since the taskers appeared in their small apartments from the beginning, there must be something wrong with these apartments, and None of these taskers saw the problem."

"Beibei is right!"

"But Beibei, do you see where the problem is?"

Xu Beijin hesitated: "It's ok... Let's put it this way." But he didn't say it, but changed the subject, "She met a mission worker."

On the screen of the live broadcast room, Sister Jiang met a tasker on the fourth floor.

It was the tasker who was strong and muscular.As soon as he came out of Room 408, he met Sister Jiang who was leaving the elevator.

The muscular man left the apartment a little later than Sister Jiang, because after he discovered that the door of the apartment could be opened, he walked around the apartment cautiously.

The sight of the unknown source is still glued to his body, like some perverted and paranoid lunatic.The muscular man didn't want to face this kind of person, but he could calm down anyway.

What nightmare has he not seen?

Thinking about it, the muscular man even showed a contemptuous expression on purpose.

After checking the entire apartment and still not finding any clues, the muscular man decided to leave the apartment.However, just as he stepped out of the door, before he even had time to close the door, he heard a woman's exclamation.

"Is it a tasker?!"

A gleam flashed in the muscular man's eyes, and he turned around quickly, showing a simple and honest smile: "I am I am. I finally met my companion!"

His very cooperative attitude made Jiang Shuangjie also heave a sigh of relief.She also gave a friendly smile, and then exchanged the information she knew with the tasker.

Xu Beijin temporarily zoomed in on this angle of view, occupying two-thirds of the area of ​​the live broadcast room, while the rest of the angle of view was zoomed out to surround it.

He listened intently to their conversation and looked at the two taskers.When he saw the exaggerated and ingratiating smile of the muscular man, he suddenly frowned.

Wait, this expression... seems a bit familiar.

He didn't think this muscular man looked familiar before, and he really didn't have this face in his memory.But this expression... this flattering, mundane smile that doesn't fit the characteristics of Zhailou suddenly awakened Xu Beijin's memory.

He stayed there, and after a while, the memory of this smiling face was completely awakened.

That was the period when the questers were most interested in his nightmares.

In fact, Xu Beijin didn't understand why he suddenly attracted the interest of a large number of taskers.Well, it is true that no one has entered his nightmare, but there are so many residents on the ground floor of the narrow building, and there are so many nightmares that have not been entered, why pay attention to his nightmare?

Isn't he just an ordinary bookstore owner?

Later, Xu Beijin accidentally learned from those taskers that it was actually because one of the taskers wanted to try to enter his nightmare, but he didn't know that he didn't sleep at night, so he squatted outside his door for a whole night .

After a night of futile work, the tasker felt resentful and felt that his time was wasted, so he exaggeratedly publicized Xu Beijin's nightmare, gloating and hoping that more taskers would fall into this pit like him.

However, the rumors spread more and more widely, and when it hit the crazy and radical narrow building atmosphere at that time, everything was different.

In the end, the rumors became that the bookstore owner's nightmare was hiding a secret related to the narrow building.Some missionaries even said that if they cleared the nightmare, they could leave the narrow building directly.

Of course Xu Beijin knew what his nightmare was like, but he couldn't stop the imaginations of the taskers.

As a result, the hopeful missionaries began to get closer to Xu Beijin one after another, and squatted outside his door, waiting day after day for a chance to enter the nightmare.

During the busiest period, there were almost several hundred people crowded in the small road outside Xu Beijin's house and on the initial avenue outside.

But Xu Beijin never fell asleep.

However, this only confirmed the rumors that there were some secret speculations hidden in his nightmares.After all, if it was just an ordinary nightmare, then the resident of the narrow building must have let the taskers enter the nightmare casually, instead of resisting now.

Anyway, with the passage of time, many taskers still lost their patience and gradually left.But there are still a large number of workers guarding outside Xu Beijin's house.

One of them took some less than aboveboard methods.

He claimed that the bookstore owner was not actually a resident of the narrow building at all, he was a tasker—or, in other words, an outsider as the residents of the narrow building said.

The taskers knew their own family affairs, so of course they knew that Xu Bei was definitely not a tasker.But this guy poured dirty water on Xu Beijin's body, saying that Xu Beijin was a so-called "outsider" who just pretended to be a resident of the narrow building.

He decided that Xu Bei was just trying to get fame and fame, and wanted to use this method to make himself famous in the narrow building.

It is well known that the residents of Narrow House will have some defects, which may be physical or mental.In short, the residents of the narrow building look crazy at first glance.

But the owner of the bookstore is not like this, he looks very normal, and even enjoys life quite a bit.

How could this be a resident of the narrow building?This must be the so-called "outsider"!

This is a aggressive method, he wants to force Xu Beijin to admit that he is of course a resident of Zhailou.And the way to admit it?Nature is open to its own nightmare.

According to the setting in the game, it must be a very shameful thing for the residents of the narrow building to be recognized as outsiders, because they repel these outsiders, hate and resist them.

As outsiders of the narrow building, these mission workers do all kinds of evil and do whatever they want in the narrow building, and even chase and intercept the residents of the narrow building, just to understand the clues of their nightmares, and even enter their nightmares to do evil.

For the "NPCs" of the residents of the narrow building, it is of course very hateful.

If Xu Beijin is really identified as an "outsider", then whether it is on the side of the residents of the narrow building or the side of the taskers, he will be at odds with both sides, and he will be completely rejected and isolated by both sides. Object.

Even if the residents of Zhailou are actually actors, they may not feel disgusted with Xu Beijin, who is also an actor, but under the control of the mastermind, they have to show an appearance of repelling outsiders, let alone such A kind of outsider pretending to be a resident of the narrow building.

So, for the first time since Xu Beijin entered the narrow building, he became angry.

He left the bookstore he was sticking to, and opened the portal that missionaries dreamed of entering.He saw the tasker, with a flattering and sophisticated smile, and even wanted to push Xu Beijin away to enter his bookstore.

The tasker probably thought that Xu Beijin, as a game NPC without self-awareness, could only raise his hands and surrender in response to this situation, letting them enter the nightmare, so he opened the door.

Of course...of course, if Xu Beijin is really a game NPC.

So Xu Beijin directly threw the tasker out of his house.

All the rest of the taskers were stunned.

They had never seen anything like it.Even though the residents of the narrow building do repel outsiders very much, they have never done anything to outsiders.It seems that in this game, the NPC just cannot do anything to the player.Get rid of nightmares.

And now, in the narrow building, for the first time, a resident of the narrow building has done something to the tasker.

At that time, Xu Beijin leaned against the door frame and sighed a little tiredly. His eyes were heavy, he watched all the taskers present, and his voice was calm and cold: "I hope you don't offend my life too much."

The missionaries all remained silent.From the standing man, they felt an unprecedented, strange guard and uneasiness.

They looked at the man's dark eyes, handsome facial features, and icy lips, and felt the aura emanating from this man, as deep as a frozen sea.

They trembled involuntarily, and realized for the first time that they seemed to have offended him.

Xu Beijin said: "I'll take it as everyone agrees. Besides..." He frowned slightly, as if he was considering what kind of wording to use, and finally, he chose a very straightforward way, he said, "I won't Allow anyone to enter my nightmare."

In the setting of the game "Get Out", the residents of the Narrow House know that outsiders will enter their nightmare adventures.Sometimes, the residents of the narrow building will thank the outsiders because they played the true ending and solved their knots.

So Xu Beijin said this, not worried about being banned by the mastermind.

However, his strong words with no room for change still caused an uproar among the taskers present.Of course they didn't make a sound, because they were all shocked by Xu Beijin's action against the tasker just now - that is a very strong tasker!

But he was thrown out by Xu Beijin like this, lying on the ground like a dead body, howling in pain.

The taskers were shocked, but they also did not give up.

But that's good enough.Xu Bei set the lower limit for his compatriots and never had any expectations.

Of course, he also kept his word.

To this day, even though Xu Beijin's dark circles under his eyes are getting deeper and deeper, he has fulfilled his promise - not letting anyone into his nightmare.

The patience of the taskers could not be compared with his persistence, so a long time ago, they gave up their curiosity about Xu Beijin's nightmare.

But... Xu Beijin was still deeply impressed by the tasker who was outside his house, showing a flattering and smug smile, and who was eager to enter his house.

He looked deeply at the tasker who also showed an overly flattering smile on the screen of the live broadcast room.

In his memory, the tasker did not look like this muscular man, but in the narrow building, the tasker could not be identified entirely by his appearance.Many taskers will use various methods to change their appearance when they enter the nightmare.

They don't want to be recognized.

Thinking about it, Xu Beijin sighed.He came back to his senses and took a sip of milk tea silently.He thought, well, no one knows if this tasker is the one who offended him back then, so Xu Beijin didn't intend to vent his anger.

...at least wait until the identity is confirmed.

He yawned, looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room, and happened to see a line: "Beibei! Look to the right! It seems that something happened to a player!"

Xu Beijin was taken aback, looked to the right, and enlarged one of the images, he was startled and horrified.

He saw a female tasker—this should be Sister Jiang's twin sister, after all, the other female tasker in this nightmare was relatively young in appearance.

The female tasker was struggling head-down in the water in the bathtub.

The audience in the live broadcast room also exclaimed.

"Damn, what's the matter??"

"I also want to ask, just now I have been focusing on listening to the conversation between the two players, and I didn't even notice what happened here."

"This... is she going to be drowned?"

"It's scary...Fortunately, it's just a game."

game?

With the degree of fidelity of "Escape from the Sky", for these taskers, this is almost a real death.

Xu Beijin frowned, feeling heavy discomfort and sighing, as if the breath of death was also contaminating him.He knew that when the missionary died, the nightmare would restart and she would be resurrected.But... death is death after all.

He silently reduced the picture size.Correspondingly, the twin sister of the missionary who is about to die is still talking and laughing with a missionary.

Not so long ago, the time came to an hour exactly when they entered the nightmare.Jiang Shuangmei didn't realize that the door of the apartment could be opened, she was still shivering in the corner of the bedroom.

until……

A slight noise suddenly woke her up.

She subconsciously raised her head in a daze, and found the source of the sound in the quiet apartment - the robot vacuum.

The white circular sweeping robot seems to have reached the time for regular cleaning, so it starts automatically, rotates its body, and sweeps slowly along the originally set route.

It swept to Jiang Shuangmei's side, but it didn't go around her intelligently, but kept bumping into her legs.

One time, two times, three times and four times...

Jiang Shuangmei felt uneasy. She was already nervous because of the invisible sight, but now the sweeping robot looked crazy, which made her back feel cold.

She hurriedly got up and walked outside the bedroom.Then, she heard a strange sound again.

From the bathroom, it sounded like the bathtub was being drained... the sound of water.

Jiang Shuangmei froze almost immediately.

Water sound?How can there be the sound of water?

At this time, she didn't feel the needle-like sight, but she felt extremely disturbed by the sound of the sweeping robot and the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

She took a deep breath.Even if her sister is not around, she still knows that there is probably something wrong with this apartment.Nightmare... This might be a clue to the nightmare.

So, she slowly approached the direction of the bathroom.Behind her, the sweeping robot also slowly approached her.

When she walked to the door, she couldn't help but hesitate, but then made up her mind and reached out her hand.The ice on the doorknob made her hands tremble, and the scene inside the door shocked her even more.

The faucet above the bathtub was splashing with water. Although the bathtub had already been filled with clean water, the water was still coming out continuously, causing the excess water to overflow directly.A thin layer had already formed on the ground, and a puddle of water reflected the white lights of the bathroom.

Jiang Shuangmei took another step forward, shaking her head cautiously, observing the situation in the bathroom.

At this time, the sweeping robot had come behind Jiang Shuangmei, and bumped into her again.

"what!"

Jiang Shuangmei exclaimed. In a panic, she waved her hands, trying to regain her balance, but was hit by the sweeping robot again.She slipped and fell headfirst into the full tub.

The faucet was still running water.The robot vacuum bumped into her foot.The wind warmer turned on automatically, and the shower curtain fluttered and fluttered, entangled her hands.

She kept struggling, and finally, she stopped struggling.

She was killed by the bathtub.
