Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Xu Bei didn't have time to answer this question - although he couldn't think of how to answer it either.

Outside the bookstore, a few taskers saw Lingo's figure through the glass door, so they came over to meet the boss.Inexplicably, staying near Ringo gave them a great sense of security.

Xu Beijin looked amused, but in order not to be noticed by these taskers, he just paddled peacefully and had no intention of interacting with them.

On the other hand, the mission workers, after discussing quietly in the bookstore for a while, the thin man walked towards Xu Beijin and asked, "Boss, we just came out of the apartment building opposite. Has something happened there before? nothing."

Xu Beijin stood up, was about to speak, but paused slightly.

At this moment, the main brain NE sent him some information about this nightmare.

He had no choice but to realize that even if he wanted to be a group performer in paddling, when a tasker took the initiative to ask for information, he could only work hard to become a qualified tool man NPC.

So after a moment of silence, he replied very professionally: "Where did you just come from? There... something happened before. I thought no one would live there anymore."

He smiled faintly, as if mocking the innocence of this group of people.

The thin man couldn't help being silent for a moment.He looked at the narrow building resident in front of him with a brand new look.

Before communicating with the other party, he thought that the narrow building resident just knew some information.But when he showed such a mocking smile, the thin man couldn't help thinking deeper.

Could he be the breaking point of this nightmare?

Could he be... behind the scenes?

He hid so close to the Loko apartment building that he even knew what happened in the Loko apartment.If he was just an ordinary NPC, would he know so much?

Also, the dangers in this nightmare center on electrical equipment, which happens to be none in this antique bookstore.Could it be a coincidence?Or... means something else?

The thin man looked deeply at the man in front of him.

When Ding Yi asked them to investigate the resident of the narrow building that Ringo had been paying attention to recently before entering the nightmare, the thin man and the little girl didn't take it seriously.

Even when they realized that the resident of the narrow building was the bookstore owner who caused chaos on the ground floor of the narrow building a few years ago, they still didn't pay enough attention to this matter.

Firstly, the thin man was on a higher floor at the time, and had not personally experienced the upsurge of missionaries flocking to Xu Beijin’s nightmare; The heart goes to the head.

What they cared more about was still the relationship between Ringo and this man.

However, they didn't expect to meet Xu Beijin in the nightmare.No... Presumably, this nightmare is the nightmare of this man's neighbor.It is also very reasonable that he will appear in the nightmare.

but……

The thin man looked at this mysterious man and thought, what is his identity in this nightmare?

These narrow building residents always appear in different nightmares, except for the owner of the nightmare, the rest of the narrow building residents seem to have their own identities and different functions.The information they learned was also different.

It seems... It's just that the game company was being lazy, so they used the same NPC model to let these narrow building residents play tricks in different nightmares.

The taskers would not have imagined that what they thought of as "playing tricks" was actually someone playing tricks.

Some of these narrow-building residents who appear in other people's nightmares don't know anything, while others have important positions. They may even be the core figures of the nightmare and the object of fear of the nightmare's owner.

In this nightmare, the missionaries have not found the owner of the nightmare so far.And the mysterious man in front of him, who unexpectedly knew a lot of information, became a particularly important figure in the eyes of the thin man.

Thinking of his slightly mocking smile just now, the thin man thought again, maybe... someone with a less upright stand?

Xu Beijin didn't know that just because he smiled, he was considered a villain again by the taskers.

He just smiled wryly at himself because of his fate as a tool man!Who wants to ridicule these taskers!This is judging by appearance!

What can he do?He has such a face, what can he do?He is also very desperate...

Fortunately, he did not know.

Xu Beijin, who didn't know that his image was misunderstood as the BOSS in the nightmare, was still dutifully explaining everything about the Loko apartment building to the taskers: "In the past month, that apartment building has always been accident.

"It seems that some residents died, and then the residents went to court with the property. I heard that there was something wrong with the facilities in the apartment, but I don't know exactly what it is.

"but……"

At this moment, Xu Beijin suddenly hesitated.

Because he realized a problem.

The mastermind does not allow cosplayers to disclose relevant information about "cosplay" to the outside world, this is an iron law.

What about the actor's knowledge of nightmares?

A normal cosplayer, after entering a nightmare, will only know the information about the nightmare that the mastermind told him.So they have nothing to reveal.

Another example is the group performers, who come and go in different nightmares, but still can't understand anything.

Some group performers didn't even dare to leave their location because they were afraid of being discovered by the taskers. They could only hide somewhere, and they still didn't know anything until the nightmare was over.

This is Xu Beijin's daily life as a group performer.

But it's different now, Xu Bei can see everything that is happening in the nightmare through the live broadcast room.Compared to other actors, he is almost omniscient.

In this case, can he tell the tasker what he learned about the nightmare through the live broadcast room?

Xu Bei didn't want to take any chances, so he quickly searched through his memory, trying to find any possible similar situations.

Then he remembered that Dai Wu once told him, "Be careful behind your back".

If what Dai Wu said is correct, even though he is a supporting role, but in this nightmare, he is just an extra performer, it means that the mastermind also did not give him any information about this nightmare.

But he said the words "be careful behind your back" to Xu Beijin.The source of the information is unknown, it may be what he heard from the owner of the nightmare, or it may be what happened to the questers that he witnessed when he played in this nightmare.

In any case, this means that, in addition to the information provided by the mastermind to the actor, the actor can also reveal other information about the nightmare that he knows.

Xu Beijin suddenly felt enlightened... In this way, there is a lot of room for manipulation!

He always knew that the taskers would misunderstand him because of his image, thinking that he was a very important member of the nightmare.This was the case with the previous two nightmares.

But my family knows my own affairs, he is a group performer, and the mastermind will not take the initiative to provide him with nightmare information beyond this level.

In this case, when he revealed his lack of understanding of nightmares, the taskers naturally knew that he was not an important role, but just a good-looking face.

But things are different now.Even if his level is still only a group performer, he can still try to make some changes through the information he learned in the live broadcast room!Even actively guide the ending of the nightmare!

He thought, he might have been an extra performer for too long, and he had completely forgotten, information—what a precious thing this is!

If he gave some advice to the taskers at this time, such as hinting at their network problems, then the taskers must be able to understand everything, and think of the inside story about this nightmare in minutes.

And the muscular man who expects to know this information will tell the other taskers frankly?

Then it's better to count on Xu Beijin as a false villain.

At least Xu Beijin is really a good person.

Doing this may not make sense in itself.Without revealing the actor's identity, Xu Beijin was still powerless to deal with the chaos in the narrow building.

However, resisting NE is a happy thing!

The words "defeat NE" floating in Dai Wu's mouth, for some cosplayers, it is a goal that really makes them gnash their teeth and yearn day and night.

Xu Beijin may not have such a heavy goal, but within his power, he will do a little favor for the tasker, and easily disrupt NE's settings and layout for the nightmare...

Then he is very happy!

Xu Beijin thought about it for too long in silence, and the skinny man asked suspiciously, "But what?"

Xu Beijin recovered his senses, smiled apologetically, and said, "However, the same thing happened here." He decided to reply according to the message given by the mastermind, "I have seen it before, the elevator door clip Lived in one person, then continued to run upwards, and finally..."

The missionaries frowned.

Afterwards, Xu Beijin added some of his own private goods: "So I slowly cleared out some electrical appliances and furniture in the bookstore." He said without changing his face, "The accidents are all like this. thing."

The thin man's eyes brightened: "Do you know the root of the problem, boss?"

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

From the point of view of the thin man, this hesitation meant that Xu Beijin really knew, but he was not sure, or he was unwilling to say it.Or... the culprit is this man?

He locked himself in this place free of dangerous electrical furniture...

The thin man narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked: "Boss, can you really tell us? We were chased here by the elevator in the business district, and we don't even know how to get out of here."

Sister Jiang also realized something, and immediately said: "Yes, this series of encounters is too inexplicable. Boss, if you know anything, please tell us. We have all been hunted down by those things, and we should have the right to know The truth?"

The little girl even said directly and coldly: "If you hide the truth, what is the difference between that and being a tiger's minion?"

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak when suddenly, a figure flashed beside the counter.

Lin Po said angrily, "Do you have such an attitude of begging for help? How come Beijin must know the truth?" He looked at Xu Beijin again, "You have such a good temper!"

Taskers: "..."

Xu Beijin: "..."

The audience in the live broadcast room: "Hahahaha, I knew it! I knew that Little Apple was on Beibei's side!"

"Little Apple is so handsome! The attitude of this group of taskers to press Beibei is too arrogant!"

"They only think of Beibei as the NPC of the game, of course it is coercion and temptation, moral kidnapping."

"I think they are preconceived and have decided that Beibei is not a good person..."

"To be honest, I think so too...but Bei Bei is actually such a gentle and harmless good person."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He didn't realize how gentle and harmless he was.

He took a deep breath, patted Ringo's shoulder sideways, and said in a low voice, "Thank you." He looked at the taskers, "I can indeed tell you, but this is not my obligation."

Xu Beijin thought it was nothing when the missionaries wanted to ask him what he knew. Anyway, he was used to the rude attitude of the missionaries towards the residents of the narrow building.

After all, for the tasker, he is just a game NPC, isn't he?

But Lin Po's act of defending him made Xu Beijin both moved and funny.He suddenly realized that it seemed that there was no need to be so active and friendly... You can't let relatives hurt enemies, can you?

Lin Po's appearance stunned these bullying taskers, and Xu Beijin's words made them even more at a loss.

What the hell... Isn't the resident of the narrow building the NPC of the game?Mastermind gone mad?

Lin Po stood aside with folded arms, his eyes were awe-inspiring, like Xu Bei's loyal guardian.

The thin man was speechless for a while.It suddenly occurred to him that Ding Yi asked them to investigate the relationship between Lin Po and Xu Beijin, and it was really... targeted.He looked at Lin Po without any trace, and then at Xu Beijin.

Suddenly, a thought popped into his brain.

He had never seen a tasker be so considerate to the residents of the narrow building, especially to maintain the pride of the residents of the narrow building.

Apart from……

Except for those who go crazy and want to fall in love with the residents of the narrow building.

Thin man: "..."

He took another serious look at Lin Po, and then at Xu Beijin.

He thought, no way... He knew the boss's secret, so he wouldn't be silenced by the boss, right?

The thin man was in a trance for a while.

He didn't speak, and Jiang Shuangjie was still at a loss, so the little girl said logically, "Sorry, we're just too anxious." The little girl who had always had a cold expression tried to show a friendly smile, "We were just hunted down by those things. . . . a little freaked out."

This is not a lie, Xu Beijin just saw the whole process of them escaping to the negative floor, it was indeed very thrilling and weird.The sudden activation of the habitual items in daily life has obviously caused enormous psychological pressure on these task workers.

The thin man and Jiang Shuangjie also reacted quickly, apologized quickly, and looked at Xu Beijin helplessly.

Xu Bei glanced at Lin Po unconsciously with such a different attitude, and then responded with a little smile: "This is just my guess..." He said something vaguely, "So, I don't have internet in the bookstore."

When he said this, although he appeared to be casual on the surface, in fact, he felt very nervous and disturbed.He was afraid that just because of this attempt, he would be targeted by NE.He has always avoided this.

He took a little risk... But, he thought again, after getting the live broadcast system, should he stick to his original life of silence?Things had changed, whether he wanted to or not.

Just the fact of live broadcasting itself has caused ups and downs in his life.

He could vaguely feel that a strange undercurrent was sweeping through the entire narrow building.

Mu Jiashi returned to the bottom floor of the narrow building, Ding Yi chose to go to a higher floor after many years, and... Ringo.I don't know why Ringo lost his memory about the earth.

Xu Beijin has been evading for many years, just like other cosplayers, because of his own powerlessness.And now, he wants to make some efforts...some changes.

When he realized that the live broadcast system actually provided him with a channel to communicate with the outside world, he had already sensed the arrival of an opportunity.Inertia and guard against NE made him procrastinate for a while, allowing him to observe the situation and the audience's feedback more carefully.

And after he tried to disclose the information he got through the live broadcast system, but was not banned by the mastermind, but he said it smoothly, Xu Beijin immediately felt certain.

So, there was a faint calmness in his tone: "That's it."

And at this time, the taskers had no time to care about his tone of voice.

The thin man said in surprise: "Internet...? Internet?!"

He and the little girl looked at each other, surprised, and instantly understood the answers to those doubts before.

Sister Jiang whispered, "So... we should destroy the network in the apartment... cut off the power?"

"Maybe it's a way." The thin man pondered, "However, it might not be the real ending."

Sister Jiang Shuang said: "It doesn't have to be the real ending now." Facing the surprised eyes of the thin man and the little girl, she said, "Now we have collected enough information to play a normal ending, leave the nightmare first, and then Try to play the true ending again... Isn't this safer?"

The thin man and the little girl were speechless for a while.

This is actually the SL Dafa of many human players: save the file to keep it safe, read the file and start again.

Many taskers do this, but it is rare for Sister Jiang to say it seriously.However, Sister Jiang and Sister Jiang have been using this method to clear the nightmare many years ago.

They know that this method has disadvantages, it may develop inertia, and it may make them hesitate and hesitate at the moment of life and death.However, the two sisters, who had been wandering around the bottom floor of the narrow building and the slightly higher floors, really couldn't think of any other more effective way.

They must at least ensure that they will not get lost in the nightmare of eternal collapse.

In fact, the thin man and the little girl don't want to play the real ending now.They entered this nightmare by mistake, so they hoped to leave earlier and return to the bottom of the narrow building to complete their unfinished work.

And... the thin man glanced at Xu Beijin and Lin Po without any trace.He thought that this time he entered the nightmare, and instead collected more information.

The thin man said, "In this case, we can reach a normal ending as soon as possible, and then leave?"

Sister Jiang nodded immediately.

The thin man looked at the others again, and after the others nodded and Lingo shrugged his shoulders to express his indifference, the thin man breathed a sigh of relief.He said: "In that case, why don't we go back to the apartment building and try to turn off the power?"

Several people nodded.Afterwards, the five missionaries left the bookstore.

Xu Beijin glanced at the live broadcast system, but suddenly found that the muscular man had left room 807 and was wandering in the corridor on the eighth floor.

Xu Beijin was curious for a moment.How did the muscular man leave the apartment?Because no item card was found?

It would take some time for the thin man and his party to return to the Loko apartment building from the business district, so Xu Beijin switched the live broadcast to the muscular man.

The audience in the live broadcast room were caught off guard: "Ah! The Beijing guide has started work!"

"Hello Beijing Director! Beijing Director is also working hard to direct the broadcast today!"

"Every time I watch Beibei and change the perspective, I have a strong sense of déjà vu that I am watching a TV series..."

"By the way, this live broadcast has already lasted for more than three hours... I didn't feel that time passed at all..."

"Because Beibei is handsome!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

Can any problem be solved simply because he is handsome?

If only that was the case...

He sighed secretly, propped his chin, and focused his gaze on the screen in the live broadcast room.

Muscular man is angrily waiting for the elevator.

As other questers know, elevators in apartment buildings and business districts are dangerous.Except for the elevator that likes to joke and complain non-stop, the rest of the elevators are more or less skeptical.

But at this time, the muscular man didn't wait for the essentially harmless elevator, and he didn't know that there were some problems with the elevator.

He should have been cautious, but he wasn't. The "Masque of the Devil" item card combined with his rough and arrogant nature made him more casual and sloppy.In nightmares, this is often fatal.

Perhaps when he was hiding his identity as a card dealer, other missionaries would take him to fly with him.But this time, the other missionaries had exiled him, the card dealer, so he really knew nothing about this nightmare, and he didn't bother to explore it.

Therefore, when the elevator reached the eighth floor, he walked in carelessly and pressed the first floor.

Still unwilling to give up, he wanted to get back "his" two prop cards.

In the complaint letter that he and Shen Yunju found in the security room on the first floor, it clearly stated that the resident on the eighth floor encountered an accident when the elevator suddenly fell when he was taking the elevator downstairs, but at this time He didn't think of it.

Not only did he not remember it, when the elevator suddenly fell like in the complaint letter, he even cursed in panic, kicked the elevator hard, and slapped the elevator door, as if this could stop the elevator.

suddenly!

The elevator really stopped, and the elevator doors opened automatically.

The muscular man panicked and slumped on the ground, subconsciously wanting to leave the elevator.He was panting heavily, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.He quickly crawled out of the elevator with hands and feet.

He found that the elevator stopped in the middle of an unknown floor, and only a small half of the exit was exposed, just below the elevator door.He stuck his head out tentatively, arching himself with his shoulders, trying to get himself out of the damn elevator.

Then, he got stuck.

Then, the elevator started moving again.

Then, he watched as his head approached the ground quickly and terrified.

bang, bang——

...Xu Beijin subconsciously cut away the screen.

The screen suddenly went black—the nightmare restarted.

Audiences:"……"

"...you've seen watermelons...forget it."

"This nightmare, I originally thought it was only in the category of horror and supernatural. I didn't expect it to be bloody... vomit."

"I suddenly feel so bad. This man is not a good person. Now that he has died once, in the next nightmare, he won't have to be chased by the furniture... I feel a little uncomfortable."

This point of view was recognized by the rest of the audience, but Xu Beijin didn't say anything.

The audience in the live broadcast room didn't know that the death of the players in the narrow building meant a real experience of death.Although Xu Beijin hadn't tried it himself, he could still imagine the horror.

If death is a punishment...

Xu Beijin sighed secretly, he no longer thought about these annoying things.

The nightmare restarted again, another hour of waiting time.He glanced at the list on the right side of the live broadcast system, thinking about which perspective to focus on...or a small screen for each of the seven taskers?

However, looking at it, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

He carefully counted the number of missionaries behind the scene list on the right.

one two three four five six?

... six names?

Xu Beijin was stunned for a moment.

... The muscular man who died in the last round of nightmare is gone!
