Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Fei rolled her eyes and thought, is this a strange scene that only appears in some idol drama?

These taskers from higher levels seem to have been ruined by this narrow building at some point, and they always have various personality flaws.Sometimes, Fei couldn't help but think that these taskers seemed to be getting closer and closer to the residents of the narrow building.

Thinking about it, Fei shook her head, and stopped paying attention to the conflict between the man in the suit and the boy. She believed that even if the two missionaries broke their faces, they could at least solve this nightmare.

She turned to pay attention to her companion, and only then noticed that Wu Jian's expression seemed a little dazed.

She frowned, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" She looked at Wu Jian carefully, "Why do you look..."

After being dazed for a moment, Wu Jian slowly raised his head to look at Fei.

After a while, he said with a sad face, "Fei, this nightmare is too disgusting. Let's not have this nightmare next time..."

Fei's complexion changed, and she quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Wu Jian then told Fei about his experience with Jiang Shuangmei on the 26th floor at the end of the second round of nightmares.

Fei's complexion immediately changed: "You were caught by the garbage man!"

Wu Jian blinked: "You know...? Do you know what happened to those lunatics??"

The rest of the taskers all looked over, even the men in suits and the teenagers who were arguing and insulting each other cast surprised glances.

The man in the suit thought happily, okay, sure enough, the two people, Lingo and Fei, didn't get nothing.

Fei nodded, and continued to urge, "Tell me about your experience first." She frowned suddenly, "Why did you go with Liang Shuang... Forget it, we'll talk about this later."

Mentioning Liang Shuang, which is Jiang Shuangmei's pseudonym, Wu Jian almost subconsciously glanced at Jiang Shuangmei.

He found that Jiang Shuangmei's complexion was also very pale, probably similar to his own.Wu Jian felt concerned, and couldn't help but touch his forehead, as if to confirm whether his brain was normal or not.

Scarlet looked at him in bewilderment.

Wu Jian then talked about how he and Jiang Shuangmei "picked up trash" together.

"But that's not the point." Wu Jian said with nervous anxiety and nervousness, "The point is, both of us have been confused! We both think that's a normal thing, something we should do, but why? Possibly... This is simply impossible!

"How could we have that kind of thinking! It's not scientific at all! But we are... just like being hypnotized, bewitched, and brainwashed..."

he murmured.

Fei's face changed, and she inevitably thought of more.

She knew that Wu Jian must have thought of those things, so she acted so uneasy and frightened.It was an invisible influence, and now they were only in the nightmare. When the nightmare restarted, they would completely get rid of that invisible influence.

But... what if it's not just in nightmares?What if the same is true in the narrow building?

Just like Fei's guess in the nightmare of the ruins, NE can delete their memories in the nightmare, so why can't it do so in the narrow building?

Now, since NE can exert invisible influence on their brains in nightmares, why can't it do so in the narrow building?

This is more than just a game!

It's not just the rules of the game.They can't get out of this game, so this is their fucking life!

Fei bit her lip and cursed secretly.

How many questers see Narrow House as a game, whether based on desperation or genuine self-indulgence.Fei knew that there were a lot of depraved taskers on the bottom floor of the narrow building, and even though the atmosphere in the narrow building was particularly enthusiastic recently, those people still didn't make any changes.

... But, but, Fei wondered anxiously, do they really understand what's going on?

They are in a game, and their brains are like being exposed in the air, without any protection at all, they can let NE play and modify freely and casually... and they don't even have the right to choose.

And they don't even have the right to know the truth!

For a moment, Fei pinched her own hand, almost trembling all over.

The other taskers might not be able to understand why she was so outraged, maybe it was just because Wu Jian was her companion, and now Wu Jian had encountered such a terrible thing?

Therefore, Jiang Shuangmei even broke away from her own emotions, and couldn't help comforting her: "It's okay, everything is over."

Jiang Shuangmei might think that Fei and Wu Jian have a more intimate relationship, such as lovers or family members, that's why Fei's performance is so exaggerated, as if she empathizes with her.

However, among all the people present, only Fei and Wu Jian could understand what they had thought of in unanimous and tacit agreement when they looked at each other.

They fell silent.

At this time, the man in the suit came over.Regarding the conflict between him and the boy just now, he didn't mention a word, as if nothing happened.

He just asked calmly: "So, Fei, what do you know about the group of lunatics in this building?"

Fei glanced at him, then at the young man.

At this time, the boy was still staring at the man in the suit fiercely, probably because he had the advantage of his appearance, so the younger boy looked more pitiful and reasonable.

But Fei had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between them, and so did the rest of the taskers.

Therefore, she calmly withdrew her gaze, and slowly told the news she heard from Xu Beijin.Decorators, man-eating ghosts, mushrooms, man-eating ghosts... and there are only a dozen normal people left on the 16th floor.

The taskers almost corresponded their encounters one by one.

Their complexions gradually became worse.

After Fei's voice fell, all the taskers couldn't help being silent for a few seconds.

Finally, the man in the suit said: "Don't worry about that. I'm afraid this is just a danger we will encounter in our nightmares, and it has nothing to do with the ending and the truth we need."

The rest of the missionaries also acquiesced to this statement.

What happened in this building, as disgusting as it was, was nothing more than a setting for a game—at least they could use that to comfort themselves.As for how, I'm afraid we can only wait for time to judge.

…Zombies like Shen Yunju, they will never take the initiative to think about nightmares, narrow buildings, and the truth behind all of them like Fei and Wu Jian.They just choose to hide.

In this nightmare, Shen Yunju's presence is still very low.

Under his dead, zombie-like face, there was still the fear left over from a previous nightmare.In this post-apocalyptic building, he could barely move.

...a sense of sight.

In silence, he quietly thought of the word.

Of course it wasn't the first time something like this had happened to him, right?It's not the kind of "reappearance" in this nightmare, but the real sense... the feeling of feeling familiar with something, but can't remember it at all.

That business district.

After that nightmare, he chose to take the initiative to forget that feeling.Fear, despair, or more sense of helplessness, made him lower his head and close his eyes, choosing to turn a blind eye to those things.

But when he dreamed back at midnight, he always felt that there was still something haunting him, which made him unable to sleep.His self-hypnotic forgetting has indeed worked. Sometimes, he even wonders, what is he worrying about?What's bothering you?

Has he ever encountered anything worthwhile?

Isn't he just what he usually is?Did he experience anything special that was different?

Then at a certain moment, as if torturing himself, he remembered that incident again.

...Not long ago, when he was wandering in the narrow building like a wandering spirit, he suddenly overheard some people's conversation.His sense of presence had always been low, and those people were defiant, so they didn't notice his approach at all.

And so he learned of the nightmare.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Yunju entered into this nightmare with a determination to do everything he could.

As for why...he himself can't say well.Perhaps after so long of silence, he himself could not bear such cowardice.Or maybe it was because he just didn't want to be bothered anymore.

He just wanted to find an answer, so that he could sleep peacefully.That's all.

But after entering this nightmare, he encountered something even more confusing to him.

When other taskers noticed a subtle sense of déjà vu, when they felt that their actions seemed to be repeating the actions of some people in this nightmare, Shen Yunju felt...every moment, he seemed to be Repeating something.

Walking - as if walking at one time.

Take the elevator - I seem to have taken it before.

No... of course he did, it was part of everyday life.

But... But, what's so special about it?What made him feel wrong?Where does it make him feel that a certain part of his memory is faintly hinting?

Finally, he realized, it was this building.

At the beginning of the third round of nightmares, when the taskers were talking about what happened to them in the last round of nightmares, when Fei and Wu Jian thought of NE's huge authority, Shen Yunju cast his gaze out of the window.

...a burning city.

The city was burning, he thought, and the burning smell was always in his nostrils.Broken glass underfoot and a bloody ceiling above.People, people are running through this building, escaping, and dying.

He suddenly wondered, why didn't he immediately realize the familiarity this scene brought him?

...because it was not an event that he personally experienced.

It's like at some point, say, when you're talking with a friend, and you glance at the TV and suddenly realize that some tragedy is playing on the TV screen.

So you casually sighed to your friend, "Such a thing can happen again."You say so.Then, you forget about it.Maybe at some point in the future, familiar keywords will trigger your memory and remind you of that tragedy again.

Now, Shen Yunju's memory - his brain, was instinctively touched.He seemed to remember something, but he didn't seem to remember anything.

Perhaps at that moment he remembered, and then he forgot.

Open your mouth but don't know what you want to say, stand up but don't know what you want to do, open the cabinet but don't know what you want to take.

His memory was broken.That breakpoint was so shocking that he subconsciously closed his eyes, as if this way, he could just ignore and ignore that thing as before.

No tasker noticed Shen Yunju's expression standing in the corner.

This is a zombie, and for these taskers, zombies have always been useless in nightmares.They are just here to fool around, and all taskers think so.

Therefore, they discussed on their own, and didn't care what Shen Yunju was thinking of.Fei and Wu Jian were lost in their own thoughts, and also did not notice Shen Yunju's appearance.

If Fei and Wu Jian knew what Shen Yunju was thinking, then they might recall what happened to them in the last nightmare, the nightmare of the ruins.The same broken memory, the same sudden forgetting.

They may think of other things and realize that what they have been worrying about may have already happened.But they didn't notice.

Several taskers chatted about another matter, and that matter attracted Fei and Wu Jian's attention.

That was the answer to why Jiang Shuangmei and Wu Jian walked together in the last round of nightmares.

The man in the suit looked at the witch, and tried to restrain his tone, but he still looked extremely stern: "Witch, can you explain the reason for what you did in the last round of nightmare?"

The sorceress still looked nervous, nervous and dazed.

From time to time, she lost her mind and went into a daze, and then suddenly looked around inexplicably and intently, and then went into a daze again, repeating this, like a complete lunatic.

The man in the suit's question brought her back to her senses, and she was at a loss for a moment, as if reflecting on what the man in the suit meant.Her brain seemed to be filled with all kinds of useless information, making it impossible for her to focus on the situation in front of her.

She was confused for a moment, then said, "What...? What did I do last round...?"

The sorceress murmured in a low voice, speaking incoherently.

The man in the suit said, "Where did you take the little girl?"

"Little girl..." It seemed that the words triggered some memories of the sorceress, she stayed for a moment, and then said, "9th floor. I took her... to the freight elevator on the 9th floor."

"9th floor?"

"There is a freight elevator on the ninth floor?"

After hearing her words, the missionaries couldn't help repeating the information in a hurry.

"In this case, the whereabouts of the two freight elevators have been determined, and only one No. 9 elevator is still missing." The man in the suit slowly added information, and he frowned and looked at the witch again, "How do you know? The [-]th floor...forget it."

He gave up communicating with the witch, because he had already realized that even if he asked, the witch probably didn't know why.

The man in the suit continued: "It seems that our next goal is to find that elevator... But before that, we still need to find the little girl..."

At this moment, the boy suddenly interrupted the man in the suit: "I know how to solve this nightmare."

he said with great confidence.

The boy interrupted the man in the suit, who frowned slightly.Now that he and the boy were already torn apart, the man in the suit no longer had to force himself to endure the boy's temper.

However, the boy's words still aroused some interest in him, so he endured it.

The rest of the missionaries thought so too.

The teenager looked around with a very arrogant and self-satisfied expression, and then he said: "The ordinary ending is to lead the little girl to find her mother; but the real ending is to make the little girl realize that her mother is dead. , she doesn't need to wait any longer."

The man in the suit frowned: "Wait, since her mother is dead, how can I find it..." He paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "You mean, witch?"

The eyes of the taskers are focused on the sorceress.

The witch looked back inexplicably and blankly.

The boy continued on his own: "In this nightmare, the sorceress has been identified by the little girl's subconscious as her mother, and the reason may be the actions of the sorceress during the first round of nightmares.

"No matter what, the bracelet, the photos, and the fact that the sorceress took the little girl to the 9th floor before have all proved that the sorceress is hiding her identity as a mother in this nightmare.

"When you take the little girl to the freight elevator on the 9th floor, the mentality of action should be based on wanting to take the little girl to a safe place. But if you are still thinking of the tasker, you can't do it anyway. this kind of thing.

"In other words, the starting point of your actions also proves that you have actually been affected by this nightmare.

"If anyone has a panel card, you can use it for the sorceress and that little girl.

"My guess is that the little girl is the owner of the nightmare. She probably knew that her mother was dead, but she didn't want to admit it, so she had this nightmare.

"The nightmare started when the mother had abandoned her, but the time of death was not confirmed.

"After that, the witch appeared. Because the witch reproduced the actions of the little girl's mother, the little girl subconsciously regarded the witch as her mother.

"And, because the little girl is the master of the nightmare, this cognition also affects the witch, making her do all kinds of incomprehensible things.

"If you want to solve this nightmare quickly, set the identity of the witch as the mother of the little girl. After leaving this nightmare, this cognitive problem will dissipate, just like the two affected 'garbage workers' Same.

"If you want a true ending, then reveal the truth to the owner of the nightmare, and let her understand that things have already happened and everything is irreversible."

The boy spoke out his thoughts completely.

Moreover, when he said the last sentence, he glanced at the man in the suit, who still seemed to be very provocative.

But the man in the suit completely ignored his hidden meaning.

He said as if nothing had happened: "I agree with your idea."

The rest of the taskers also nodded.

The audience in the live broadcast room listened to what the boy said, and typed a series of bullet screens on the public screen with half understanding.

However, their focus was still: "Why is the boy so sure that the little girl's mother is dead?"

Xu Beijin saw their questions, waited for a while, and found that the reasoning boss hadn't answered, so he could only take the initiative to explain: "Because of the scene they encountered at the end of the second round of nightmares.

"They believe that the 'déjà vu' found through the No. [-] elevator was discovered by the person who carried the corpse, and was killed to become the food of the man-eating ghost.

"If this 'déjà vu' is indeed what happened to the little girl's mother, then it is very likely that she also became food for the cannibals, killed and piled on top of the corpses.

"Of course, I don't actually think that the little girl's mother must have died."

Having said that, Xu Beijin paused for a moment. He glanced at a woman among the group of rational survivors, who was wearing a formal suit but had an anxious expression.

He continued: "Where does the 'sense of déjà vu' of the elevator come from, it is still unknown.

"If this is from the little girl's mother, then the question is, as the little girl who is the host of the nightmare, how can she know so clearly what her mother's experience is?

"And if it comes from survivors in other buildings, the problem is the same. After all, the little girl has been hiding under the desk on the 31st floor, so why can she provide this 'déjà vu' in the nightmare?

"... The question I'm thinking about is, if this sense of déjà vu also comes from the little girl? If the reality is that the little girl left herself and hid when her mother didn't come back for a long time What about the location?

"The little girl is different from the other 'mushrooms' in the building.

"...Of course, having said so much, I actually agree with the tasker's speculation about the truth. The relationship between the little girl and her mother should be the key to solving this nightmare."

After Xu Beijin finished speaking, the audience sent out a bunch of bullet screens in a timely manner.

"Beibei's words are wonderful!"

"Actually, I also want to talk about this issue. Previous missionaries infer that the 'déjà vu' is a kind of 'recurrence', based on the preconceived notion that the little girl's mother is the master of the nightmare.

"But now, it is clear that the little girl is more likely to be the owner of the nightmare. In this case, where the 'déjà vu' comes from is a very strange question.

"Another point is, I also feel that in the last round of nightmares, whether the encounter of those three people on the 17th floor can be regarded as a 'déjà vu' is still an unknown.

"After all, they still haven't pressed three buttons, and they only went to one floor. Maybe there are other things waiting for them on other floors?"

"What the reasoning boss said makes sense!"

"(Wave the flag for you!)"

"I'm pretty self-aware about my IQ anyway (laugh)"

"Uh, actually, I'm still a little concerned about what happened to Little Apple on the 15th floor... What does that pair of tables and chairs mean?"

"I also want to ask... I feel that everything else can be straightened out, that is, the pair of tables and chairs are placed there inexplicably, and I am a little unable to understand."

The audience exchanged views with each other, and after the taskers finished talking about each other's experiences in the previous round of nightmares, they also planned to race against time to go to the 31st floor to find the little girl.

But at this time, they actually already have an immediate solution to the nightmare, depending on whether they need it.

Fei thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Why don't we play a normal ending first?" She looked at Ringo, "Anyway, we have collected enough information, if we want to play a real ending, we can try again next time."

Wu Jian looked at her in confusion, but after being pulled by Fei, he didn't speak.

The rest of the taskers looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why Fei suddenly had no pursuit.

And Lin Po rolled up his sleeves and said, "I hope to solve this nightmare as soon as possible."

So that Xu Beijin can leave here.

Regardless of whether the taskers knew what he was thinking or not, they all immediately changed their tone.

"Ahahaha, big brother thinks so, no problem, no problem."

"Yeah, yeah, it would be nice to come back to the real ending next time."

Ringo glanced at them and continued, "In exchange, I can do you a favor as much as I can."

Only now are the missionaries completely convinced.

And Lin Po thought to himself, before Xu Bei tried to tell him not to agree to other people's requests casually, he agreed and did it.Now he is the one who made the request on his own initiative, isn't this a violation of Xu Beijin's statement?

Well, definitely not.

Ringo tilted his head, revealing a slight smile.

They planned to go to the 31st floor.

At this moment, in the quiet stairwell on the 31st floor, there was a sudden creak.The security door was opened.

The little girl poked her head out and looked at the deep and dark stairwell.

She clenched her small fist a little uneasily, tightly clutching the bracelet that the sorceress gave her.Then she said to herself: "Go, go. Mother is waiting..."

The next second, she nodded vigorously and took a step forward.
