Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

A lot of question marks flashed across the screen in the live broadcast room.

"The air conditioner is leaking blood???"

"To be honest, did this air conditioner come from the previous nightmare where the furniture became fine?"

"A little confused, why is the blood coming out from there?"

"I have a guess, but I'm afraid I can't prove it. My thought is that it might be something the 'garbagemen' use to clean up the trash... the ventilation ducts are like their trash tunnels."

"!!! The big reasoner is right!"

"But... can there really be so much blood..."

"Maybe the ventilation ducts in the whole building have been remodeled...well, automated trash removal."

"I still feel that this scene might just be a bit of a nightmare...'special effects'? Maybe it's just that the owner of the nightmare created this weird picture subconsciously."

"I agree! I don't want this kind of thing to happen in the real world at all..."

"It's just a game [laughing and crying]"

The audience discussed enthusiastically for a while, and finally turned to some lighter topics as a matter of course.But for Jiang Shuangmei and Wu Jian, the scene in front of them could not let them relax no matter what.

After they were silent for a while, Jiang Shuangmei finally took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, let's go to other floors, there should be nothing useful here."

They continue to walk upwards.

Wu Jian couldn't help asking: "What do you think is the cause of this sea of ​​blood?"

"Are you asking me?" Jiang Shuangmei said, "I think the owner of the nightmare may be going crazy."

Wu Jian was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Shuangmei continued: "After all, this is her nightmare, right? What happens in the nightmare is always based on her memory. So, maybe it's just because she is a lunatic."

The corner of Wu Jian's mouth twitched, but he couldn't refute this statement.

Indeed, the nightmare they were in belonged to the narrow building resident after all.Sometimes, the contact between the taskers and the nightmare master in the nightmare will even directly lead to the change of the nightmare scene.

but……

Wu Jian couldn't help but look back at the blood-red window pane on the 22nd floor.

He thought, what kind of memory can make the owner of the nightmare reappear such a terrible scene in his dream?

Blood poured out from everywhere on this floor, and finally flooded the entire floor.

If the little girl's mother was the host of the nightmare, was it her own experience, or... her memory of her daughter?And if the owner of the nightmare was a little girl, what kind of bad memory would it be that impressed the young girl so deeply?

What if the nightmare was someone else's master?

Wu Jian couldn't help shivering, not daring to think about it any further.

There are crazy and desperate memories in this building, and maybe they don't just belong to the owner of the nightmare, but belong to all the survivors or victims who have experienced this doomsday.

He finally took a deep look at the 22nd floor, and came to the 23rd floor with Jiang Shuangmei.

The 23rd floor is nothing to behold, it's very ordinary, no elevators, no danger, and it's empty.

The emotions of the two gradually calmed down.

The 24th floor is the floor they went to in the first round of nightmares, so their next goal is the 25th floor.But at this time, Jiang Shuangmei stopped and said to Wu Jian, "It's almost an hour."

Wu Jian understood: "Then let's stop for a while?" He couldn't help but said, "No one will die this time, right?"

Jiang Shuangmei shrugged: "Who knows? I hope their luck is not so bad."

They waited for a while, and finally, there was a roaring sound from the upper floors of the building, and a slight shaking came from the top floor.They heard a sound as if something had collapsed.

After about 30 seconds, the movement finally calmed down.

Jiang Shuangmei and Wu met and looked at each other, the nightmare did not restart.Jiang Shuangmei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go, keep going."

Wu Jian nodded and followed her pace.

Along the way, Wu Jian couldn't bear such a quiet atmosphere, so he asked, "Where do you think the remaining three elevators will be?"

"I think?" Jiang Shuangmei said, "Let's not talk about the No. [-] elevator. The No. [-] and No. [-] elevators are found on the twentieth floor, so I think the other elevators should be a little lower."

"A dozen floors?" Wu Jian said, "Maybe there are elevators below the ninth floor."

Jiang Shuangmei replied dryly: "Who knows."

She didn't really want to continue such a dry conversation with Wu Jian, but Wu Jian didn't seem to want to endure this dull atmosphere.Fortunately, they soon reached the 26th floor.

Jiang Shuangmei thought in her mind, it seems that the risk between the 20th and 30th floors is not very big...?

But the moment they pushed open the security door on the 26th floor, they saw that countless pairs of eyes opened suddenly, and countless people covered in blood suddenly screamed loudly.

No one knew what they were talking about, but this group of lunatics rushed towards Jiang Shuangmei and Wu Jian at the door like a tide.

"Damn it!" Jiang Shuangmei scolded, "These lunatics are actually on the 26th floor!"

They hurriedly withdrew, but it seemed that it was too late.

They were caught by this group of lunatics.

The hands of Jiang Shuangmei and Wu Jian were severely twisted by those lunatics, and then they led the two panicked taskers to the bathroom on this floor.

The bathroom here has been transformed into a dressing room, and a lot of clothes and plastic buckets are placed in it.

The two mission workers were forced to put on blood-stained clothes, each picked up a plastic bucket, and then followed the rest of the lunatics to the different air-conditioning ventilation ducts.

They stood silently, as if waiting for something.

At this time, it is no longer possible to call this group of people lunatics.Their faces are peaceful and pious, as if they are doing something that makes them feel extremely happy.

Jiang Shuangmei winked at Wu Jian, and she didn't know if he could understand, but Jiang Shuangmei was a little flustered anyway.But she still thinks that at this time, she can't act rashly.

She wanted to know what these lunatics were doing.

She also thought of the sea of ​​blood she saw on the 22nd floor, and her current location, and couldn't help but think with a chill, could these lunatics be waiting for the blood to flow down and then "take a bath"...?

Anyway, in this building, she won't be surprised if anything happens...

After waiting for a while, Jiang Shuangmei suddenly heard a strange sound coming from above her head.

Almost at the same moment, the group of lunatics around her took action.They set up a ladder, and the person on top carefully removed the outer panel of the air conditioner.

After that, Jiang Shuangmei heard the sound of friction coming from the pipe.

The sound of rubbing seemed to have some magical power, and Jiang Shuangmei suddenly felt in a trance, and felt that the world in front of her suddenly seemed to be completely new.She seems to have gained some knowledge, information, instinct...

She subconsciously picked up the plastic bucket she had put on the ground.

When she saw her opposite, Wu Jian also showed a dazed expression, and in silence, he meekly picked up the plastic bucket.

A broken corpse fell out of the pipe for some unknown reason.

Jiang Shuangmei and Wu Jian, just like other garbage workers, went forward to pick them up numbly and skillfully, and scattered the human tissues into their respective plastic buckets.

They then passed the plastic buckets to others.

Others went somewhere with plastic buckets, while they continued to stand there, holding new plastic buckets, waiting for the next wave of garbage to arrive.

The man in the suit squatted there, staring at something on the ground in a daze.

And the young man and Shen Yunju stood by his side.

As the man in the suit wished, they came to the 17th floor.But the scene on the 17th floor was far beyond what they had imagined.

This is a place like a warehouse.

Countless corpses are stored here.I don't know whether their destination is to go up to become a tool for decoration workers, or to go down to become food for man-eating ghosts.

In any case, for the three men in suits, they don't know the existence of decoration workers and man-eating ghosts, but they can guess some of the things that happened in this nightmare and this building through the encounters of different taskers in the previous round of nightmares. things in.

What the man in the suit squatted there looking at was a small human finger bone.

Fingerbones are not unusual, of course, but this pile of finger bones was placed in a plastic bucket and washed clean.

He looked at it for a while, stood up, and asked the boy dryly, "What do you think this is?"

The boy glanced at the plastic bucket, then quickly withdrew his eyes as if he had been electrocuted.He said stiffly, "What else? A generic equivalent?" He said, "It's disgusting."

The man in the suit let out a long sigh. He stood up, not looking at the piled up corpses.He said, "Looks like we broke into a... warehouse?"

The young man urged impatiently: "Have you finished reading? Just leave as soon as you finish." He frowned and said, "I have a bad feeling."

At this moment, Shen Yunju suddenly stared in the direction of the freight elevator and said, "I heard the sound of the elevator running."

They looked at each other and walked towards the elevator hall in unison.The elevator hall has glass doors, but there are walls that can block their stature.The three missionaries looked around.

They chose to hide instead of facing the unknown comer directly, because they have already realized that there are unknown risks in this building, and they have no ability to resist.

The man in the suit whispered: "Could it be that the situation in the nightmare will change because an hour has passed? If so... Will the future become more and more dangerous? What will happen in two hours? "

The boy showed a hideous expression at him, telling him to shut up and not to make a sound.

The man in the suit closed his mouth, but rolled his eyes in a slightly speechless manner.

The freight elevator has arrived.

That was the freight elevator coming up from the floor below. The heavy freight elevator was running slowly. It took at least 30 seconds from the time it sounded to when it actually arrived.

The missionaries waited nervously.

Not only the taskers, but also the audience in the live broadcast room were nervously watching the situation here.

I don't know which floor the freight elevator came from, and it still went to a warehouse like the 17th floor, and I thought about what Xu Beijin said before, about the types of lunatics in this building...

"Wow, I'm so scared."

"Obviously I wasn't there, but I felt like I was sweating on my back."

"To be honest, this building really has the feeling of... an isolated island. And these people living in this building are also lingering on their last days, which is weird."

"...Although it's just a nightmare, I still want to ask, is there any way to save these people? Are they mentally ill?"

"I think the decoration workers and garbage workers can be saved, but the man-eating ghosts can be saved..."

"It depends on how you define criminal behavior in the legal sense..."

"Stop, this is not a small legal classroom."

"To be fair, I just feel that this nightmare is different from the previous nightmares... By the way, these taskers from higher levels are also a little bit unbearable. This is really a nightmare at the bottom of the narrow building ?"

"Ask Beibei."

Xu Beijin could only answer helplessly: "It is indeed a nightmare at the bottom of the narrow building."

"Is your nightmare at the bottom so difficult!"

"Beibei is also on the bottom floor! Beibei's nightmare must be super difficult, right?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that the reasoning master hasn't deduced what Beibei's nightmare is."

"!!! Please don't remind me. I can't find a clue..."

"Why don't Beibei give a little spoiler? I really can't stand the anxious waiting atmosphere."

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, then said: "My nightmare..." He was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "It's related to the nightmare."

"Related to the nightmare?"

"Nightmare of nightmares?"

"A collection of nightmares?"

"Wouldn't Beibei's nightmare be a kind of portal-like existence that can be randomly transmitted to other nightmares... just like the elevator in this nightmare?"

"Damn! What you said is so fucking reasonable!"

"That's why Beibei has been reluctant to open up his nightmare, because how could it be possible for the taskers at the bottom of the narrow building to randomly get that kind of very high, very high-level nightmare... This is to let them go to death."

"!!! This fits Beibei's personality too well, you are too strong, reasoning boss!"

Xu Bei glanced at the barrage in the live broadcast room, thinking, how does this fit his character.

Does he look like a nice guy?

...although he is indeed a good guy, he doesn't look like one.

As for the audience's speculation, Xu Bei was noncommittal and did not give a clear response.But for the reasoning boss, his words can bring him infinite reverie.

After a while, the reasoning boss sighed: "Beibei's luck is really good, to be able to randomly get this kind of nightmare in the game, and if there is such a nightmare, the corresponding identity must be very powerful... The European Emperor in the world is You are Beibei!"

The audience echoed the words of the reasoning boss one after another, but Xu Beijin could only force a smile, which was to give the reasoning boss some face.

lucky?

He thought, at the moment when he got this nightmare and this identity, it might be the most unfortunate thing in his life.

Although he learned the truth because of this, is that really a kind of luck?

Xu Bei was unable to come up with an answer.

When he was distracted, unexpected changes had already appeared on the screen in the live broadcast room.

The freight elevator reached the 17th floor.

A few strong men came out of it. Two or three of them formed a team, and then each team lifted a corpse, carried it back to the freight elevator, and went back and forth several times.

The man in the suit whispered to himself, "They're transporting corpses? What's the use of corpses...?"

His voice was very soft, but the group of people had sharp eyes and ears, and almost immediately someone put down the corpse in their hands and scolded loudly: "Who broke into the 'warehouse' in violation of the regulations?!"

The boy looked at the man in the suit with an extremely irritable expression, as if he wanted to choose someone and devour him, he cursed softly: "Trash! I told you not to talk...!"

The man in the suit's face changed. He frowned and looked at the boy, his eyes flickering.

Shen Yunju, who had been silent all this time, moved his eyes and looked at these two people.

Soon, those people found the three people hiding in the elevator.

They were in groups and strong in stature, so the three questers did not dare to directly clash with them.The three of them were shoved and brought before what appeared to be the leader of the group.

The man was the strongest and oldest man in the group.

His eyes were very calm, and he looked at the three taskers as if he was looking at something dead.After a while, he said, "It looks pretty good, you can try it out."

The expressions of the man in the suit and the boy changed almost immediately, and they immediately understood the corresponding meaning from the man's words, and felt incredible.

What the hell, is this a nightmare at the bottom of the narrow building...? !

The man didn't care what the man in the suit and the boy thought, he casually pointed to the pile of corpses beside him, and said to the others, "Kill it and pile it up."

The young man looked at the pile of corpses, and thought of the scene the three of them had encountered, and suddenly felt a subtle...special...sense of déjà vu.

The pile of corpses.them.

They too will be piled on top of that pile of corpses.

The boy was stunned for a moment, and then he yelled, "Is this the visual incident of No. [-] elevator?!"

His voice frightened the other men who were carrying the corpses.

But the young man didn't have time to pay attention to him, he murmured: "From the moment I left the little girl behind, until I encountered blood on the [-]th floor, and when I came to this floor, I was discovered and caught by this group of people... are you dead? Is it dead already?"

The man in the suit could obviously keep up with the boy's train of thought, his expression moved slightly, showing a thoughtful look.

On the screen of the live broadcast room, the reasoning boss obviously realized it, and a lot of bullet screens were sent out at this time.

"I see! The sense of sight corresponding to the No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] elevators can indeed piece together the whereabouts of the little girl's mother! And the order is to go down in order of floors!

"The first is to leave the little girl on the 31st floor and go downstairs with other colleagues, probably to find a way to leave the building, or to confirm whether the floors below are safe, and to look for food.

"According to the recurrence of the No. [-] elevator incident, the blood gushed out of the elevator and covered the entire floor, so the 'witnesses' of the incident should be inside the elevator, not outside the elevator. So they took the elevator downstairs .

"Then, they may have encountered a sea of ​​blood on the 22nd floor, and this caused blood on the ground on the 21st floor. Before that, there should be no twists and turns in their actions, and there are no special floors from the 31st to the 22nd floor And events are also evident.

"But after the sea of ​​blood, they must be aware of the problems in the building, so it is very likely that in order to save time, they explored the entire building as soon as possible, and chose to act separately under the condition of ensuring safety, just like this group of taskers.

"To be honest, I think the first déjà vu event should be that this group of taskers dispersed their actions so naturally. Isn't it similar to what happened in this building?

"Some of this group of people should go straight down, maybe they went to the 9th floor, and returned after discovering the problem; some may stop on a certain floor in the middle and become man-eating ghosts, or food for man-eating ghosts.

"In the process, their team will definitely become more and more dispersed. What happened on the 15th floor is a big doubt.

"The little girl's mother and other people, possibly two other people, came to the 17th floor, and were discovered by the people who moved the corpses just like what happened to the group of mission workers now.

"The subsequent actions... can't be speculated for the time being. It may depend on what happens next time the déjà vu occurs, or it may... You need to find out what happened in the past on the 15th floor."

"Thanks to the reasoning boss! I understand!"

"Hahahaha I like analysis better, as long as everyone doesn't hate my long-winded speeches. What do you think of Beibei?"

Xu Beijin also carefully looked at the analysis of the reasoning boss, and then he said: "My question is, since the whole point of view of this nightmare is actually from the little girl's mother, who is the owner of the nightmare? "

"Ah!! Beibei raised this death issue again!"

"I think what Beibei said makes sense... The development of this nightmare followed the little girl's mother. In fact, the most critical question is, if the little girl has been hiding under the desk on the 31st floor, how could she know Mother's whereabouts, and build a nightmare based on it?"

"Why can't it be? The little girl actually never knew. She was abandoned by her mother and never saw her again. After she became an adult, she followed her own ideas and made up the experience of her mother in the nightmare?"

"Damn, what you said makes sense. And from this perspective, the little girl is even trying to excuse her mother for abandoning herself?"

"It seems so... Look, my mother was taken away by the bad guys, it's not that I don't want her..."

"Grass, it's too miserable."

"...I still don't know who the owner of the nightmare is..."

The audience didn't figure it out, and in fact, neither did the taskers.

But at this time, there is no time for them to think about it.

The group of people who moved the corpses probably thought these people were crazy, and the leader curled his lips in boredom, not interested in their topic at all.

He said disinterestedly: "Kill it."

He turned around and went down with the corpse of the freight elevator first.

The rest of the people walked towards the three missionaries.

The boy was still thinking with his head down, and he didn't even notice that the situation had changed subtly.

When those people were about to walk in front of them, the man in the suit suddenly stretched out his hand calmly and pushed the boy.

The young man turned his head to look at him in surprise, feeling baffled, but his expression suddenly changed the next moment.He was caught by those carrying the body.

Those people can't be bothered to care about the small conflicts between these "pigs", they are all going to die anyway, it doesn't make any difference whether they die first or die later.

Therefore, for them, the juvenile's "self-inflicted trap", it is logical for them to kill the juvenile first.

The boy looked at the man in the suit in disbelief, until he died, he still stared straight at the calm face of the man in the suit.It occurred to him suddenly that he had never seemed to have really known his companion.

The man in the suit's lips twitched slightly, as if with a slight smile, and he said, "I don't want to die."

So, go and die again.

Shen Yunju looked at him, then at the young man, and finally took a step back silently.

At the beginning of the third round of the nightmare, the moment the boy opened his eyes, he rushed to the man in the suit furiously, and grabbed his collar fiercely: "You fucking—!"

The man in the suit pushed him away.

The boy's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at him fiercely.

Except for Shen Yunju, the audience who saw the conflict between the two of them through the live broadcast room, and Xu Beijin, no one knew what happened between the two of them.

The man in the suit straightened his collar, and suddenly sneered: "You know, do you really have a bad temper?"

The boy was startled.

The man in the suit looked at him with a cold voice: "So, I have really put up with you for a long time."
