Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

"———year x month x day——

"Xiao Chun has been missing for three days!

"My wife said that she might have... No, no, no, no, how could someone have the heart to attack Xiaochun! She is only six years old! She is going to elementary school soon, and my father bought Xiaochun a new schoolbag. So happy...

"Xiao Chun, you will definitely go back to Dad, won't you?

"———year x month x day——

"A week has passed.

"The notice has been posted in the city next door. But no one pays attention to us, as if the whole world doesn't know Xiaochun anymore. My wife is by the phone all day long, and she doesn't go to work.

"She said to me again, maybe Xiaochun has... Damn, what does she know! How is it possible for Xiaochun... How is it possible!

"An old customer came to buy dolls today and asked me if I have made new ones recently. How can I have that kind of skill... Xiaochun, Xiaochun, Xiaochun. My daughter...

"———year x month x day——

"My wife told me today that if this continues, we may not be able to survive before we find Xiaochun.

"Yeah, I think I can't live anymore. A month has passed. When Xiaochun just disappeared, I felt that the sky was going to fall, and I would not be able to live in the next second. But now, I feel like Alive as the walking dead. Still alive.

"A customer came to order a doll and didn't know about Xiaochun's disappearance. He jokingly said that I have been like a doll recently, dull and stiff... I don't know what to do every day.

"I'm thinking about my daughter...my Xiaochun. What will happen to her? Will she be afraid? Will she cry? But my Xiaochun always loves to laugh, she is like a pistachio, Angel……

"Why would someone be hostile to her?

"———year x month x day——

"I had a fight with my wife.

"She said, we have to give up looking for Xiaochun...at least, not looking like crazy like now.

"She said that if this continues, the doll shop will not be able to open.

"She said, we are still young, we can still...

"...My wife had resigned from the company before, and she was only looking for Xiaochun. Why has she changed her mind now?

"———year x month x day——

"The wife is gone.

"I think she's right, I'm just crazy.

"What are doll shops, money, and marriage compared to Xiaochun? Xiaochun is still so young, and she doesn't know where she is now. Her parents, her friends, her favorite dolls and clothes are all away...she Must be very scared.

"If Xiaochun can't be found, a father like me would be too much of a failure.

"Xiao Chun, Dad will find you. At any cost.

"Xiao Chun, don't be afraid. Dad will always love you.

"Daddy misses you so much...

"..."

Xu Beijin zoomed in on the camera in the live broadcast room, and looked at the diary with the audience.

The ponytail girl flipped faster, but it was enough for them to take a quick look, and Xu Beijin felt that the audience might be taking screenshots like crazy.

Some of the first chapters of the diary also have warm daily life, but after the daughter disappeared, the mood of the owner of the diary continued to decline. The text is full of a father's love, longing, despair and depression for his missing daughter.

The disappearance of the young girl is a heavy blow to the couple.The doll shop owner's wife seems to have come out, but the father has already sunk into it.

According to the information Xu Beijin had obtained before, after their daughter disappeared, the couple ended up in divorce.This also seems to be the end for many couples who have lost children.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room were also discussing the news revealed by the diary.

One of the viewers, who may be a fan of reasoning, couldn't control his brain immediately, and typed a long series of messages on the bullet screen in the live broadcast room, expressing his own analysis.

"What an interesting game! Even the content of the diary is so detailed!

"...Sorry, sorry, a little excited. Let me share my reasoning.

"This game obviously revolves around the disappearance of a girl. We haven't obtained much information yet, and the diary has not revealed any clues about the girl's disappearance. But based on this girl's disappearance, I have made some analysis for reference.

"First of all, we have to consider the acquaintances who committed the crime. That is, the girl's parents, friends, other elders, neighbors, etc., and even the possibility that the girl ran away from home or got lost.

"The little girl is six years old. Children at this age already have the basic concept of acquaintances and strangers. Parents will also consciously teach them. It is unlikely that a little girl will leave with someone she doesn't know casually, so acquaintances commit crimes. possibility is high.

"Secondly, we still have to consider the possibility of abduction, kidnapping and other crimes committed by strangers.

"However, I'm leaning towards the former. Because it's a game.

"The meaning of the game is that it is unlikely that the planner will casually point to a strange character who has never appeared in the game, and then tell us that he is the murderer. This will make the player feel that he has been played.

"Therefore, the murderer is most likely to be a character who has appeared in the game. We haven't fully explored the scene of the entire game yet, and it is hard to say which characters will appear.

"However, if we jump out of the shackles of the game itself and return to our identity as the audience, then we can find a very suspicious problem.

"In the reasoning just now, we all ignored an x ​​factor.

"That's the anchor!"

Xu Beijin: "?"

The viewer was clearly passionate, and felt as if he had found a very good entry point.

"First of all, what is the type of this game? Although I'm not sure yet, it should be a puzzle-solving and exploration game with a little action-adventure element.

"Then the question is, what about identity? What is the identity of the player in a game like this? What are their activities and the purpose of the game?

"Judging from the identities of the players we have been observing, they seem to be detectives, or investigators, to investigate the disappearance of the daughter of the doll shop owner.

"In addition, please be aware that this is a multiplayer game. What is the key element in the identity of a multiplayer game? It is the opposition of positions! That is to say, there must be confrontation between players, otherwise there will be no No fun at all.

"Then let's look at another question. Why hasn't the anchor appeared yet, even without sound? He switched the perspective for us before, indicating that he is online, not hanging up.

"In other words, he is indeed playing this game. Then why can't he say hello to us? It means that there is a situation on his side! It will even affect the progress of the entire game and directly cause spoilers to the audience! For the live broadcast That said, spoilers are of course something to avoid.

"Then the question is, what's going on?

"I didn't figure it out at first, and I've been struggling with this in the bullet chats I posted before... But now I figured it out, or I was reminded, it's the identity issue.

"What if this game requires someone to play the role of the murderer? What if the anchor is the murderer?

"He didn't cut the camera in his direction because the missing little girl was right there with him; he didn't even dare to reveal his voice because there might be the crying of the little girl in the background sound!

"Although I still don't understand why the dolls are chasing and killing the player, why the girl doll is looking for eyes, why the stairs leading to the second floor are blocked... But, I can confirm one thing.

"The anchor's current identity is the murderer!"

The reasoning was as fierce as a tiger, and the audience nodded and applauded.

"I believe it, I really believe it! There are reasons and evidence!"

"Strong brother, I see the anchor is trembling behind the screen, I never thought that someone would reason everything out so early!"

"Hahahaha, you two are overrated, so I'm just expressing my personal opinion, for reference only, for reference only. Of course, I think this possibility is very high."

"I agree with you! It makes sense! Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the anchor doesn't show up."

"That's right! The anchor must be the murderer who hasn't escaped!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He was in a hurry.

No, brother, your major premise is wrong!

False premise, wrong outcome.

But the reasoning process is really like that!

Xu Beijin was completely speechless, because the mastermind did not allow him to reveal his identity as the actor, let alone reveal it, saying that he was the actor... According to the logic of this master of reasoning, he was playing the role of the murderer. ? !

Xu Beijin was quite depressed for a while.

The viewer was very confident in his reasoning. After 5 minutes arrived, the girl doll shot again, the nightmare restarted again, and the anchor still did not show up, he became more confident in this conclusion.

He swore: "The anchor must be the murderer!"

Bad ass!

Xu Bei replied fiercely in his heart.

When he hadn't figured out how to deal with the sand sculpture audience in the live broadcast room, the door of the bookstore was suddenly pushed open, and three people walked in from outside, namely Ponytail Girl, Gangjing and Lingo.

Xu Beijin couldn't help being taken aback.

He thought, it seems that in the fifth opening of the nightmare, the first wave of dolls went after the man with glasses?

Now the angle of view of the live broadcast room is still with the man with glasses, so it is a good thing that he was chased by the doll... Well, at least Xu Beijin will not be exposed to the audience in the live broadcast room at this time.

At the moment when these people walked in front of Xu Beijin, Xu Beijin suddenly got some information from the main brain.

This has never happened before, which surprised Xu Beijin.

As the quest players explore the nightmare, they, the cosplayers, will also get more information so they can play better.The only problem is that Xu Beijin's level of actor is only a group performer, and he shouldn't have received so much news.

But he reacted immediately.

These questers should have gone directly to the owner of the doll shop at this time, but they were probably misled by the previous questers, thinking that Xu Beijin was the NPC who would provide information in the nightmare.

They have already obtained the corresponding clues, and then found Xu Beijin here. The mastermind had to deal with it flexibly, so Xu Beijin was able to obtain so much information at the level of a group performer.

This also made Xu Beijin a little excited, after all—this was the first time he had truly participated in the nightmare.

Before being a group performer, I was either laying dead bodies on the ground or serving as decorations in the shop, not to mention how boring it was; now I can at least receive a few questers, and I can peek at the quest progress of these questers through the live broadcast room...

Life will improve ah.

Xu Beijin stood up while thinking this in his heart.He couldn't help showing a slight smile, and faced these taskers very friendly - even though there was such an annoying guy as Ringo among them.

With a smile, he asked: "Hello, what do you want?"

The ponytail girl was about to speak when she suddenly frowned, squinted her eyes and looked at Xu Beijin, then changed the subject and asked, "Boss, have you ever had contact with the daughter of the owner of the shop next door?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

No, no, no, you don't suspect him as the murderer, do you? !

Xu Beijin's smile gradually disappeared.
