Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Who is dead again?

The moment Fei opened her eyes, she subconsciously searched for Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi.

But in her mind, there was another question.

Mu Jiashi once came to this nightmare, and played the true ending.In other words, how could he die from the fire coming from heaven?He must have a way to avoid this catastrophe.

And with Ding Yi and him, it is impossible for Mu Jiashi to watch his companion die——

Perhaps with an absolutely ruthless and utilitarian mentality, he would just sit back and watch, but he is familiar with this nightmare, and there is no need to watch his companion die.

Of course, Mu Jiashi didn't have the good intentions. When the nightmare started, he reminded the other taskers that this nightmare was so dangerous.

In any case, since he was able to achieve the true ending, there was no need to talk too much.Anyway, when the nightmare is over, everything will be back to normal.

What happened to He Shujun was also indifferent to him.

Mu Jiashi's nature is still cold.

Fei knew this, she had heard of Mu Jiashi's reputation at the bottom of the narrow building.

However, she also knew that at least Ding Yi would not be so stupid as to act separately from his companions.If Ding Yi followed Mu Jiashi all the time, nothing would happen to him.

Then the question arises: Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi can't die, why does the nightmare restart?

With such doubts, Fei found the figures of Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi.Not surprisingly, the two of them are still the same as they used to be, and they haven't changed their temperament like He Shujun.

In other words, no missionaries died from the sky fire.

At this time, Cuntou also noticed the calmness of Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi, they obviously didn't look like they had died once.

The taskers looked at each other, until Wu Jian softly raised a possibility: "So, we are in...a circular nightmare? As long as the sky fire comes down, the nightmare will automatically restart, no matter if anyone dies or not?"

The rest of the missionaries nodded.

Under the current situation, only this statement is the most possible.

Both Fei and Wu Jian looked at Mu Jiashi subconsciously.

The reason why Wu Jian was able to raise that possibility was naturally because they had experienced a similar scene in another nightmare with Mu Jiashi before.

In that nightmare, even more dramatic, death doesn't even cause the nightmare to restart.

But in this nightmare, what happened to He Shujun before proved that the rule that death causes the nightmare to restart is still valid.

No, not necessarily.After all, He Shujun died when the fire came into the world, so whether death caused the nightmare to restart, or whether the fire from the sky itself caused the restart is still unknown.

However, just looking at He Shujun's appearance, they didn't dare to try death easily.

Even the long-haired man has silently reduced his sense of presence, and he is not as mad and extreme as he was when he first entered this nightmare, let alone the other taskers.

Even if Fei and Wu Jian knew that Mu Jiashi knew this nightmare like the back of his hand, they still carefully protected themselves, for fear that the side effects of death would cause irreversible damage to their spiritual world.

From a certain point of view, isn't He Shujun's current state like being hypnotized and transformed by the mastermind NE?

Even now Fei and Wu Jian are secretly puzzled by NE's position, but they dare not challenge this possibility.What if NE is still their opponent?

Fei's thinking spread out, thinking of countless possibilities.

Finally, she smiled wryly, bit her lip, and tried to calm herself down.

She finally calmed down, then looked at Ding Yi, and asked, "What happened to you in the museum last time? Why didn't you go back to the library?"

Ding Yi also told them about what they had gained in the museum in an orderly manner. As for what Mu Jiashi told her about this nightmare and some things about the doomsday, she completely concealed it.

However, following her words, the taskers all showed stunned expressions.

Slowly, Ding Yi also felt something was wrong.

In her opinion, their greatest achievement is undoubtedly Xie Ji and her fiancé.

Therefore, Ding Yi also substituted his own views into it, emphasizing some clues about the unmarried couple.

However, the performance of the taskers made her feel something was wrong.

She wiped off the sweat from the hot summer and asked, "What's the matter? Why do you all seem...surprised?"

Fei slowly explained their two discoveries.

In fact, the clues about Xie Ji are indeed connected with what the old man said in the blocked area.

The old man said that one of his comrades in arms died young, and he might be Xie Ji's biological father.

But the problem is... the resident of the narrow building is obviously a man!

In other words, Xie Ji's fiancé could be the owner of the nightmare.However, these clues are all concentrated on Xie Ji. Her fiance can be said to be ordinary, except for the museum where he was originally, he has nothing to do with any scene in the nightmare.

Could it be that Xie Ji's fiancé also has something different?

However, instead of entangled with these things, wouldn't Xu Xiaoli and Zhang Minglian be more in line with their goals?

At least, Xu Xiaoli was directly related to the library, and he believed in the theory of doomsday, so he was indirectly related to the space agency.

Maybe he is also an astronomy enthusiast?

In addition, as for the candidate for the owner of the nightmare, Lu Chengzhe in the library is also a possibility!

Thinking about it further, there are quite a few young men in the group of astronomy enthusiasts outside the Aerospace Building.

And is it possible that the old curator and the old man guarding the closed area are the masters of the nightmare?Maybe they suddenly and miraculously rejuvenate themselves?

Fei felt that she had already started to think wildly.

She shook her head to wake herself up, and then said: "Xu Xiaoli, Lu Chengzhe, and Xie Ji's fiancé...what's his name? Do you know?"

Ding Yi shook his head lightly.

But Mu Jiashi said, "His name is Ke Xu."

Fei nodded, and said naturally: "These three people are the targets we will focus on observing now."

But Ding Yi subconsciously glanced at Mu Jiashi.

Mu Jiashi's performance made Ding Yi very suspicious of Ke Xu.From the very beginning, when they first entered the museum, Mu Jiashi made her pay attention to Ke Xu's existence.

But now, Mu Jiashi changed his previous silent appearance and took the initiative to mention Ke Xu's name.

Does this mean that Ke Xu is indeed a very important role in this nightmare, and even... the owner of the nightmare?

However, this man really has nothing to do with the other scenes.If there is no connection, how can his memory hold up such a huge scene?

Ding Yi couldn't help feeling confused.

Cun Tou also nodded in agreement with Fei's statement, but then he said: "Since Xie Ji is in the space agency, do we have to go again for this round of nightmare?"

"Yes..." Fei said, "I'm afraid we have to hurry up. The third round of nightmares, maybe there will be some kind of collapse."

"Unfortunately, it seems that there is no bus from the library to the space agency, only the bus back."

Wu Jian sighed, "If there is a bus, it will save a lot of time."

During the first round of nightmares, he watched Fei and the others take the bus from the space agency back to the library, and passed by a van.

Fei was startled suddenly, she looked at Ding Yi, and asked, "You said just now that Ke Xu would go to Xie Ji, right?"

Ding Yi recalled it for a while, then nodded affirmatively: "Yes. He said that if he passed by the space agency, he would go to Xie Ji."

Wu Jian couldn't help but said: "But there is only such a road going north-south, he will definitely pass by the space agency. I just watched the truck drive north."

Cuntou already understood Fei's meaning: "So we have to wait for Ke Xu to come over at the space agency?"

He added, "Then we still have to go to the residential area. Let's go and find out who the couple who quarreled is."

Fei nodded, and said, "This way, there are two roads."

Ding Yi also said: "I want to go to the third floor of the library to have a look. We heard from Ke Xu that there are some experts on the third floor of the library... papers? Maybe we need to look for it."

What she implied was that she hadn't checked it carefully before, but she didn't say this sentence, and she didn't intend to accuse other taskers.

So, they once again divided into three groups.

Fei, Wu Jian, and the long-haired man go to the space agency;

Cun Tou and Ye Lan went to the residential area;

Ding Yi, Mu Jiashi, Ringo and He Shujun stayed in the library.

Cun Tou and Ye Lan left first. They had to ask many residents, so they had to hurry up.

And Mu Jiashi found Fei and Wujian.

The long-haired man looked at them from a distance, feeling a little puzzled.However, this nightmare gave him great pressure, keeping him in a silent and trance state.It was as if he had really died in that fire from heaven.

At least he did.

That's why he pursued death so much—no, he was looking for that familiar feeling of death.

He seemed to instinctively want to use this to recall.However, when he entered this nightmare, when the sky fire descended into the world, the feeling of oppression and familiarity overwhelmed him, which made him terrified.

He suddenly realized that forgetting is not a bad thing, right?

So instead, he made up his mind and refused to face the truth.He just drifted along in this nightmare, letting the rest of the questers arrange his whereabouts.

He knew that this group of people were worried that he would take the initiative to seek death, but... he probably never dared again.

The fake death in the game makes people courageous, but what if that is really how he died in reality?

At least the long-haired man didn't dare.

He was dazed in a daze, feeling that this nightmare seemed to be threatening him.

He couldn't help but think angrily, if at this time, there is an item card that can force back the nightmare...

However, that was only a rumored existence.The long-haired man even got a deeper understanding. He knew that the reason why this rumor appeared was because the person with the mission disappeared into the nightmare inexplicably.

This phenomenon has never occurred, as if the game is offline.But everyone knew that they couldn't get out of this damn "Get Out".

Therefore, there must be an item card that can forcibly quit the game... The group of missionaries guessed so, but no one knows what the actual situation is.

The long-haired man felt hopeless.

He realized that he had no way to escape from the predicament at this moment, and what was even more frightening was that he faintly realized that maybe he would always be so helpless and helpless.

Perhaps his life could already see the end from this moment.

He was silent.

And Mu Jiashi, Fei and Wu Jian were talking about the way to escape from the narrow building.

Fei was slightly surprised and said, "The nightmare of the...bookstore owner?"

Mu Jiashi nodded affirmatively.

"But... how can you be sure that his nightmare will lead us out of trouble?"

Fei couldn't help asking, "Also, can we really convince him to open up his nightmare?"

"These are two questions, and my answer is: I'm not sure." Mu Jiashi's tone was low, with a sense of helplessness.

But then, his tone slowly became firm, "But we can't do nothing, right?"

Fei bit her lip, feeling anxious for a while.

Yes, they can't do nothing.However, what to do is a key question.

She thought again about Xu Beijin's relationship with NE... that might just be her wild imagination, but what if it's true?

Fei listened to Mu Jiashi's words anxiously.

Mu Jiashi said: "My idea is that he is most likely on our side, which can be seen from the fact that he hinted to us about the problems of residents in narrow buildings.

"Since he is well-intentioned, it is very strange that he has not revealed his nightmare to the outside world. Perhaps, there is some... key, crucial... secret hidden in it."

Wu Jian couldn't help but said, "But it may also be your wishful thinking."

Speaking of "wishful thinking", Wu Jian subconsciously thought of Ringo.

Then he touched his nose and thought, what a shame, why did he think of the love between these two people at this critical moment... Wait, love between these two people?

Wu Jian blinked slowly, feeling that he had suddenly figured it out.

He happily shared his opinion: "For the bookstore owner, if he is really kind, then he should have tried various methods or opened up his nightmare to the outside world.

"I feel that over the years, his attitude towards the taskers and the narrow building has changed from being aloof to empathetic, and his position has shifted to the side of the taskers... I think this may be because of the relationship between Mr. Ringo. "

Fei and Mu Jiashi looked at each other in surprise.

Obviously, the two of them hadn't considered Ringo's role in this matter before.

Regarding the narrow building and the nightmare, Ringo's attitude also seems quite indifferent and indifferent.

He never showed any emotions of depression or discouragement, and entering the nightmare was more like taking a break, or taking a walk.

And because of the comparison of each other's force values, the taskers have become accustomed to this.

But at this moment, the two taskers realized to their surprise that what Wu Jian said was actually very possible.

If Xu Beijin had been kind from the beginning, and wanted to help the taskers—and the residents of the narrow buildings—

Escaping from the Narrow House, so why didn't he show such a stance from the start?Why had he been unwilling to open up about his nightmare for so many years?

But the situation obviously began to change when Lin Po entered Xu Beijin's life.

this means……

Mu Jiashi murmured in a low voice, "Has he been moved by Ringo?"

The three of them were silent for a moment, and they all looked at Ringo in unison.Lingo had already stepped into the first floor of the library at this moment, leaving them with a firm back.He goes to his sweetheart without telling anyone.

Everyone knows who he loves.

So Mu Jiashi said: "If this is the case...then my confidence in persuading him to open up the nightmare is even greater."

Fei and Wu Jian also nodded.

Among them, Fei has a special idea. She feels that if Xu Beijin is really NE...then it is not surprising that NE changed his position secretly.

Fortunately, the viewing angle of the live broadcast room is aimed at Cun Tou and Ye Lan.Otherwise, Xu Bei might be speechless if he heard the conversation of these three people.

His attitude changed because of the inexplicable arrival of the live broadcast system, not because of Ringo... Well, maybe a little bit because of Ringo.But just a little bit, you know?

He didn't change his attitude entirely because of Ringo.

It's because... it's because, and indeed it's time.

Xu Beijin has already realized that not only he can't hold on anymore, but also the humans in the narrow building can't hold on anymore.

They persisted for so many years, no one outside came to save them, they could only save themselves.

However, Xu Beijin himself knew that entering his nightmare was just a last-ditch effort.He simply didn't know how to solve his nightmare...

Yes, the other Narrow House residents certainly know what to do with their nightmares.

They are the masters of that nightmare.However, Xu Beijin's nightmare is unsolvable.

Therefore, he himself did not know what the true ending of his nightmare—even if it was just a normal ending—was.

He couldn't even think of it.

That was beyond his imagination.

So, even if he hesitated to hint to Ringo some clues about his nightmare.

However, he still hadn't made up his mind.He had to think about it carefully, and carefully consider whether it was necessary.

However, entering his nightmare may be a foolish act of "suicide".However, still staying in the narrow building, is it not a slow suicide?

So in Xu Beijin's mind, he probably already had an answer.

At this moment, Xu Beijin didn't know that Mu Jiashi was coming to find him.He followed the progress of Cun Tou and Ye Lan.

These two missionaries set off first, and the distance between the residential areas is also close.After a while, they came to the breakfast shop where they first heard about the quarreling couple during the last round of nightmares.

"Boss, hello." Cun Tou took the initiative to greet the lonely owner of the breakfast shop.

The owner of the breakfast shop looked at him with cloudy eyes. After a long time, he seemed to wake up suddenly: "Hello, hello. What's the matter, do you want breakfast?"

He reached out to lift the lid of the steamer.

"No, no, no." Cun Tou hurriedly stopped him, "I'm here to ask you something."

The owner of the breakfast shop stopped regretfully, and asked a little strangely: "Inquiry? What's the matter?"

He looked at Cun Tou, "You're a bit unfamiliar, don't you live here?"

Cun Tou immediately said, "Yes, this is my first time in Cangcheng."

"It's the first time I'm here, so I have to take a good look around." The owner of the breakfast shop said immediately, "Our place has a lot of delicious food and fun!"

With an inch of head, I thought to myself, there are indeed many, and there are many lunatics.

He could only hem and haw to deal with the matter, and then asked about the serious matter: "Boss, I want to ask, in your neighborhood, was there a man and a woman who were arguing last night?"

The owner of the breakfast shop was taken aback.

Cun Tou hurriedly came up with an excuse he had come up with: "We are a couple. It's the first time we came to Cangcheng. We like this city very much. We think about coming to settle down in the future. We just came to see the houses here. But, listen Said that some people are always arguing..."

"Always?" The owner of the breakfast shop hastily denied, "That's not always. That couple, they used to be harmonious and beautiful, and they didn't know what happened last night, so they suddenly quarreled, and it was all over the place. The community heard it.

"Oh, it's a good thing that you want to settle in Cangcheng. Don't listen to those rumors, they are all fake.

Although our community is a bit old, it is close to the downtown area, and it is all old neighbors, so the law and order is very good! "

Cun Tou nodded absently, thinking about what the owner of the breakfast shop had said.

They have always been harmonious and beautiful, but they had a quarrel last night?

With this clue alone, it is impossible to determine which couple they are looking for.

He asked again: "Then, do you know why they quarreled?"

"Isn't it the thing that has been making a lot of noise recently, saying that something will fall from the sky, and our world will be over... Those experts say this. Anyway, those who believe will believe it, and those who don't believe it will certainly not believe it."

Cuntou listened, thinking a little surprised, why it seems that these "experts" are not very popular?

But thinking about it, after the madness spread to all human beings, people's nerves are likely to become more paranoid and stubborn, and they will no longer pay attention to and listen to other people's opinions.

I don't know what kind of clues there will be on the third floor of the library... Cun Tou was distracted for a moment and remembered this matter.

And the owner of the breakfast shop was still talking to himself: "The couple, the woman believed what the experts said and thought the end was coming, and the man didn't believe it, so they quarreled."

Hearing this, Cun Tou couldn't help frowning, thinking, it's still the same information as last round.

On the contrary, Xu Xiaoli and Zhang Minglian did not fit his description, while Ke Xu and Xie Ji happened to fit such characteristics.

Cun Tou asked, "Do you know who they are? I want to find out more about them."

The owner of the breakfast shop gave him a surprised and strange look, probably unable to understand why Bunny was so obsessed with the couple, but he was helpless: "I don't know. I just heard a little from my wife."

Wife?

Cun Tou looked at the steamer almost subconsciously, and then forced himself to look away.

No, wait, it means that the wife of the breakfast shop owner was still alive until last night, and even this morning?

Thinking about it, I wonder if this is implying something?

The owner of the breakfast shop just went completely crazy today?

No... More importantly, the owner of the breakfast shop didn't actually hear the couple quarreling?

Is he just paraphrasing what other people have said?So what about the other residents he asked about the last round of nightmares?Is that also the case?

Cuntou suddenly realized that, as the owner of the breakfast shop said, this is an old community, and the neighbors in the neighborhood all know each other. In the time of grocery shopping in the morning, maybe the quarrel between the couple will become a common occurrence. We all know.

Rather than the exaggerated statement made by the owner of the breakfast shop, what caused the noise in the whole neighborhood to be heard last night... is unlikely.How can modern people have such a leisurely mind?

Unless it is the age of the owner of the breakfast shop, when chatting with other neighbors of the same age, they exchange information with each other, so this matter is well known.

In this community, the people walking back and forth are indeed middle-aged and elderly people.

The only young people I have seen are Xu Xiaoli and Zhang Minglian. The latter is only a kindergarten teacher in this community, and may not live here, or just live with her boyfriend.

In other words, during the chatting process of these middle-aged and elderly people, some information may have been misrepresented, or three people became tigers, and subtle changes have taken place.

Cun Tou immediately realized that there was no need for them to waste time here, they could just ask Xu Xiaoli and Zhang Minglian directly.Maybe they can give a definite answer.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

He should have thought of this when he realized the nature of this residential area.

After all, it was because he had been out of the environment like the earth for too long, and he had completely forgotten some rules of behavior in human society.

In such an old community, rumors were flying all over the sky, and the speed of information flow was extremely fast.

While he was thinking about it, the owner of the breakfast shop said again: "I don't pay attention to the affairs of those children's families. If they quarrel, they will quarrel. How can there be a couple who doesn't quarrel these days? Maybe they will make up again after turning around." indefinite.

"So let me tell you, you can't just look at the special case last night when you want to buy a house.

Go around more, look more, take a closer look at our community, and you will find that the atmosphere of our community is really good. "

Cun Tou smiled wryly, holding back his impatience and listening to the breakfast shop owner's words.

Then he waited for the owner of the breakfast shop to pause, and he said goodbye immediately.After walking a little further, he shared his opinion with Ye Lan, and Ye Lan agreed.

The two immediately walked towards the direction of the kindergarten.

The audience in the live broadcast room watched the movements of the two of them, and they couldn't wait for a while.

Xu Beijin also paid attention.

But at this moment, Mu Jiashi suddenly walked up to the front of the information desk, smiled and said to Xu Beijin, "We meet again."

Xu Bei regained his senses, and before he had time to say hello to Mu Jiashi, he found that Lin Xiong, who had been sitting next to him, stood up abruptly, staring at Mu Jiashi with piercing eyes.

Ringo didn't speak, just stood straight and expressionless, as if deliberately showing his presence.

Xu Beijin: "..."

He looked at Ringo silently, and then sighed helplessly.
