Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Xu Beijin explained what happened in this building with a calm voice and a simple and clear tone.

"I don't know exactly what happened. It seemed like something exploded, right outside in the middle of the city. The shock wave knocked me to the ground... that memory is very vague, I don't remember it very well.

"However, a lot of people go crazy the first moment it happens.

"Their brains seem to have been changed by some special substance, causing them to have some hallucinations... no, it should be said, their mental state has been changed.

"They'll see blood plasma as paint, minced meat as wallpaper - yes, there are a lot of people doing work like rebuilding this building, they're treating it as 'work', but the raw material is humans .

"This is a decorator. They are quite harmless. As long as you walk and talk in front of them, they will know that you are still alive and will not do anything to you.

"But if you were unconscious in front of them, stood silently or didn't speak at all, then it might look different. I hope you don't try."

Speaking of this, Xu Beijin thought that Fei standing in front of him, as well as Jiang Shuangmei and Shen Yunju, had actually met a "decorator".

So he smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps you have already met such a person."

Fei showed a slightly surprised expression, then nodded: "Yes..."

She thought, why did Xu Beijin know about this?

...Maybe he was just guessing, a blind cat ran into a dead mouse?

Or maybe... this mysterious bookstore owner on the bottom floor of the narrow building is really so powerful that he knows everything?

Invisibly, Fei made Xu Beijin into an extraordinarily terrifying character.

Xu Bei had absolutely no idea what was going on in Fei's mind, let alone that his temporary bad taste made Fei think so much.He continued: "Renovators are harmless, but there are others, who are not.

"These are people who see their own kind as food. I know that in critical situations, this kind of thing is very common, the human need to survive, of course.

"But the situation is that those man-eating ghosts take this kind of thing as a matter of course, not as a last resort in an emergency. They think that those humans are pigs and food, and they think that they should eat them as a matter of course.

"It is precisely because of this that I say that their brains seem to have been changed by something - completely, changed, making them break away from the original three views, and put them in another special state."

Having said that, Xu Beijin looked at the pale face in front of him, and smiled vaguely.He thought he was just smiling wryly, but Fei felt that there was more malice and sarcasm in his smile.

...For Xu Beijin, this is really a common misunderstanding.

Xu Beijin said, "I'm afraid you haven't encountered those group of man-eating ghosts yet."

Fei was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Xu Beijin pointed to the floor and said, "They're on the tenth floor. Their territory is easy to find, and they will paint the windows of the safety doors in the stairwell red with blood.

"If you go in, they'll think you're hungry and come to ask for help, and they'll be very kind and give you food.

"As for the ingredients of the food...

"Anyway, when you enter their territory, you must eat. That's their rule. They're hopeless binge eaters."

Fei's face turned even paler, and she said, "Thank you for your...reminder. We will avoid their territory."

Fei Xiang, in this nightmare, there is really a lot of malice hidden.In a way, it really feels like a real nightmare.

After Xu Beijin finished talking about the two types of people, decorators and man-eating ghosts, he turned to other things: "These two types of people are the most numerous in this building.

"As for those 'mushrooms' hiding in safe corners, those 'garbage workers' who stretch out their hands and are covered in blood as if they are about to kill someone...Although they can be encountered occasionally, they are always in small numbers."

Fei was startled.

She can understand "mushroom". For example, that little girl, perhaps in Xu Beijin's definition, is a mushroom.

But... "garbage man"?

Fei couldn't help but asked a little curiously: "What is a 'garbage man'?"

Xu Beijin actually didn't really want to explain this concept, but since Fei asked...

Xu Beijin said calmly: "They dispose of garbage—corpses for 'renovators' and 'man-eating ghosts', it should be said. Use leftovers or leftovers...Because garbage workers are always short of manpower, so whenever they When encountering a living person, they will desperately drag the living person away.

"There are some floors where they store garbage, which can be very dirty and full of...what they define as garbage. Anyway, I hope you are not so unlucky that you just happened to run into their territory.

"If you are taken away by them, then congratulations, you are also a new garbage worker."

Fei's lips trembled, subconsciously thinking that during the first round of nightmares, the elevator doors opened in front of her, and groups of garbage workers rushed over.

The cold, blood-smelling fingers of the garbage man in the front almost touched her cheek.

That was a crazy and disgusting scene.

She couldn't help thinking sincerely, it's great, fortunately she wasn't taken away that time.As much as she wanted to know what that "effect" on the brain was, she had no desire to experience it for herself.

"That's pretty much all the lunatics, and a few others...but don't know if they're alive or not.

"The decorators and the man-eaters have killed most of the people in this building, maybe they'll start 'using' the garbagemen next, or each other.

"Having said that, 'mushrooms' are not crazy and are quite harmless, but they are always very resistant to contact with strangers, and they are difficult to meet."

Xu Beijin spoke again on his own.

Fei came back to her senses and listened carefully.

But Lingo just kept staring at Xu Beijin's side face intently, it's hard to say whether he listened to Xu Beijin's words seriously.Or maybe he listened, but in his heart, the best way to solve this nightmare is still to find out the owner of the nightmare and beat him up?

Xu Beijin said: "Apart from the lunatics, the only ones left in this building are rational people."

Fei heard him pause, and couldn't help asking: "Where are all the sensible people?"

Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, and finally said: "It's right in front of you. It's on the 16th floor."

Fei turned her head and looked at the ten or so people on this floor, she was dumbfounded for a moment.She couldn't help asking: "Is that much?"

Xu Bei laughed a little: "Yes."

Fei subconsciously thought in surprise, then, where is the owner of the nightmare?

Will she be a mushroom, or a decoration worker, or a man-eating ghost, or a garbage worker?Or...she is going to die?

The last situation suddenly broadened Fei's thinking.She thought, yeah.

When the nightmare is going on for an hour, the building will collapse once.In the last round of nightmare, they were caught off guard and restarted a nightmare.

And when the nightmare has lasted for two hours, will there be another special force majeure to restart their nightmare again?

And if it's another collapse, it seems a bit too simple for the taskers.With mental preparation, this particular turn of events appears useless.

But they all know that these nightmares have always contained deep malice.

So...could it be the death of the now missing, nightmare master?

This was Fei's guess, but she instinctively felt that it was very possible.On a larger scale, Fei believes that the owner of the nightmare is very likely to encounter danger in this nightmare.

Fei couldn't help frowning, thinking, so in this nightmare, they not only need to take the little girl with them, but also protect the little girl's mother?

If this is the case, the further you go, the higher the degree of danger may be...

But, after all, what is the ending of this nightmare?

Fei has already had some guesses about the truth of this nightmare, and has also collected some information about the doomsday.

Although she still doesn't know what the things, events, and mastermind behind the so-called "doomsday" are, she already knows that the so-called doomsday may not be just physical destruction.

Fei inexplicably believes that this kind of doomsday is not just limited to the setting of a game.

Perhaps, that also happened to their Earth, in their lost memory.

And the residents of these narrow buildings...

Fei looked deeply at Xu Beijin.

She thought, are they really just a bunch of data in this game?

Unbeknownst to Xu Beijin, Fei had already begun to doubt the identity of the residents of the narrow building.

He watched Lingo and Fei leave, and the two missionaries had to explore the floors below the 16th floor.Lingo was actually a little reluctant to leave, but considering the important business, he still reluctantly left.

Before leaving, he asked very seriously: "If you really feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."

Xu Bei stared at him.

Ringo said, "I just demolished this building."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He looked deeply into Ringo's eyes to confirm that this guy was not talking nonsense.

Finally, he realized that Ringo was serious.

Xu Beijin took a deep breath, and immediately tried to smile, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not feeling sick."

Ringo looked suspiciously at his pale face, deep dark circles under his eyes, and dry lips.Xu Beijin has always been such an unhealthy look, and it seems that this is the first time Lin Po has realized this so profoundly when looking at him.

Ringo nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I understand."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He watched Ringo leave in confusion, thinking, what did he understand?

Until Xu Beijin returned his attention to the screen in the live broadcast room worriedly, he still couldn't figure out what kind of genius idea came to Ringo's little brain.

...Don't give him a bunch of drinks and indirectly cause their scandal to spread to the bottom of the narrow building. He begged for this little apple.

Just now, when Xu Beijin was talking to Fei, he switched the sound source of the live broadcast room to his own, so the audience also heard his explanation of the internal situation of this building by the way.

However, the main point of view in the live broadcast room still stayed with Jiang Shuangmei.

After the witch left, Jiang Shuangmei slowly calmed down after a moment of impotent rage.

Is it a rare thing to be cheated by teammates in the game?totally not!

She is so angry now, it must be because of the influence of that "devil's mask"... definitely!

Now, Jiang Shuangmei is more worried than the fact that the sorceress abandoned her, where did she take the little girl?And what does that do to the nightmare they're in?

Moreover, if she went to the 20th floor to look at the photo now, would the appearance in that photo be credible without the presence of the witch?

Jiang Shuangmei secretly cursed angrily, thought for a while, and stopped exploring other floors, but went directly to the 20th floor.She is very suspicious now that the witch's strange behavior may be caused by that photo.

...but what is that?

In addition, Jiang Shuangmei didn't dare to go to those floors alone to explore the situation, and always felt that there was a great risk.

A few minutes later, Jiang Shuangmei went down from the 31st floor to the 20th floor.The journey is very safe, as Wu Jian said before, there is no danger in the stairs.

According to what the man in the suit and the boy said before, the 20th floor itself is not in danger.

But Jiang Shuangmei chose to be a little more cautious.

She carefully opened the safety door in the stairwell, probed in and took a look, and found that this floor was very quiet, and there were no strange noises, so she walked in quietly.

She was a little concerned about the blood on the ground that the sorceress and the others saw on the 20th floor.It is very likely that Jiang Shuangmei and the others let the blood in the elevator flow out when they took the No. [-] elevator.

And when she came to the elevator room on the 20th floor, as expected, she saw a layer of bloodstains covering the exit of one of the elevators, and many bloodstains spread from there, covering a large area of ​​the ground.

Jiang Shuangmei was taken aback by this scene. She collected herself and suddenly thought of the bracelet on the little girl's wrist.

If the bracelet was really given to her by the sorceress during the last round of nightmares, and the blood on the ground on this floor was really brought by the three mission workers from the No. [-] elevator during the last round of nightmares of……

So why do these two things continue to exist during the second round of nightmares?

Looking at the blood all over the ground, Jiang Shuangmei couldn't help but feel a haze in her heart.

She couldn't help thinking, if it was her sister, how would she think at this time?

Jiang Shuangmei had to admit that she was a little flustered now, not only because she was exploring alone in this scary building, but also because... she deeply realized that, in fact, she would always be alone.

She closed her eyes, allowing herself to let go of those smoldering thoughts.She couldn't help being a little curious when she thought that there seemed to be an elevator that also stopped on this floor.

But she still controlled her curiosity and looked at the photo first.

She looked for it, and then saw the so-called "group photo" on the wall.The moment she saw the photo, Jiang Shuangmei couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

...Because that is really the witch and the little girl!

Jiang Shuangmei couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She thought, how could this be?Even in the first round of nightmares, the sorceress accidentally took the place of the little girl's mother, so in the nightmare, the person in this photo changed...

But now it's the second round!

Could it be that the witch is really the mother of that little girl?

Jiang Shuangmei had this ridiculous idea in her heart, then shook her head, putting this funny guess behind her.

She thought that there was only one reason that could explain this, that is, the nightmare had collapsed——during the second round of nightmares, an unusual collapse had occurred.

However, another question is, if the sorceress in this photo is acting as the mother of the little girl, then... what about the owner of the nightmare?Is the owner of the nightmare really what they guessed, the little girl's mother?

If the little girl's mother is the master of the nightmare, what will be the result of letting her see this photo and the strange "self" in the photo?

Jiang Shuangmei's face was slightly weird, and she only felt that it might be a very strange picture.

She stopped thinking about it, and looked at the witch in the photo—and the little girl, as well as the bracelet on the little girl's wrist.There was a subtle chill in her heart.

In fact, although the witch in the photo and the witch in the narrow building have similar facial features, their temperament is completely different.The sorceress in the photo has a capable temperament and a decent smile on her lips, just like a successful professional woman.

As for the witch in the narrow building... I can only say that she is a witch.

It is precisely because of this difference in temperament that Jiang Shuangmei is more willing to believe that the face of the witch appearing in the photo should only be due to the collapse of the nightmare.

While thinking, she returned to the elevator room, intending to take a look at No. [-] elevator.

But at this moment, there was a sudden "ding" sound from the elevator.There is an elevator arriving.

Jiang Shuangmei froze for a moment, then subconsciously turned her head to look, and happened to see the man in suit, boy, Wu Jian, and Shen Yunju coming out of the elevator.

... She subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, she finally joined the other taskers.

The other four taskers did not expect to meet Jiang Shuangmei here.The man in the suit said in surprise, "Why are you here alone? This is..."

"This is the 20th floor." Jiang Shuangmei took the initiative to say, she roughly talked about her previous experience, "The witch took the little girl away by herself while I was not paying attention, and now I don't know where she is going. The photo is still the witch's look."

The man in the suit frowned immediately.

Wu Jian muttered in a low voice: "It's too exaggerated... just leave your teammates behind."

The boy's face darkened even more.

Shen Yunju's face was stiff, and he couldn't see much expression.

The sorcerer's actions plunged the elevator into a subtle silence.

Afterwards, the man in the suit said, "Forget it, leave her alone. Liang Shuang, come with us first, don't act alone." He nodded to Jiang Shuangmei, "Let's go, go to elevator No. [-]."

Elevator No. 35 is stopping at this floor. As the sorceress said, there are four floor buttons that can be pressed, which are the sixth floor, the eleventh floor, the nineteenth floor, and the thirty-fifth floor.

The man in the suit was not in a hurry to press it down, he murmured, "The déjà vu event brought by elevator No. 15 is to leave the little girl behind, and the déjà vu event brought by elevator No. The visual perception of the stairs leading to the [-]th floor is to place tables and chairs."

"And we were covered in blood, and we scared the sorceress in the last round of nightmares." Jiang Shuangmei added, "By the way, do photos count as a sense of déjà vu?"

The man in the suit didn't answer Jiang Shuangmei's question, but instead he thought of another thing: "Blood? Blood..." He suddenly looked at Jiang Shuangmei, "I found that we have overlooked a question. The sea of ​​blood you encountered in the last round of nightmare ……what's going on?"

Jiang Shuangmei shook her head, and said honestly, "I don't know. I don't know which floor it is. Probably..." She looked up, "It's two or three floors above."

The man in the suit thought silently.

After a while, he said: "In this building, it seems that events on many floors are connected together. For example, the sea of ​​blood and the blood on the ground appear between the 20th and 23rd floors."

The boy sneered: "You're talking nonsense. Unless we investigate every layer of this kind of thing, there is no way to confirm whether it is true or not. How can we have that crazy time?"

Jiang Shuangmei ignored the boy's words, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you want me to go up the stairs with someone again?"

Her original teammate left her and left, so she can also choose to find another teammate.

The man in the suit looked around at the elevator they were in, and said, "It's okay. Five people moving together is indeed a bit too much. Who are you going with?"

Jiang Shuangmei looked at the four missionaries.

The man in the suit and the boy didn't think about it, Wu Jian and Shen Yun gathered together... Jiang Shuangmei pointed at Wu Jian.

Anyway, Wu Jian is still more like a normal person than Shen Yunju...

The man in the suit nodded, so Jiang Shuangmei and Wu Jian planned to leave the No. [-] elevator.

But at this moment, the boy suddenly stopped Jiang Shuangmei, frowned and stared at her for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you think there is something wrong?"

Jiang Shuangmei looked at him inexplicably.

"I mean..." The young man seemed uncertain about his guess, so he said in a calmer tone, "If this round of nightmares, the sorceress still replaces the role of the little girl's mother, then the one who was Will you, who was left behind by the sorceress, take the role of the little girl?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Jiang Shuangmei was dumbfounded.

Even the reasoning boss in the live broadcast room couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the young man's guess.

"This statement is interesting! Although this little brat has a rather annoying temper, he still has ideas!"

"Although, is this a crazy nesting doll?"

"It sounds like an amazing conjecture, but it doesn't seem to be of much value in actual application..."

"But if this tasker takes the role of the little girl, what will she encounter? And the little girl doesn't seem to have the fear...and nightmares...uh..."

"...Don't tell me, you and I want to go together."

"I suddenly felt that my IQ seemed to be slowly improving in this live broadcast room."

"? What riddles are you trying to guess?"

"No one has confirmed whether the little girl's mother is the owner of the nightmare...?"

"!! I understand what you mean!"

Xu Beijin looked at the bullet screen in the live broadcast room, couldn't help laughing, and murmured in a low voice: "Why can't the little girl be the master of the nightmare?"
