Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

cargo?

After the audience was surprised for a moment, they immediately knocked out bullet screens on the public screen.

"Is this the car from the museum?!"

"Why did you stop here..."

"There... seems to be two people in the car? It seems to be Ke Xu and Xie Ji? Is it the two of them?"

"This is a bit strange."

"Anyone use their imagination to guess why the two of them are here?"

"I suspect that Xie Ji went to look for Ke Xu, and then the two of them quarreled again? Or maybe Xie Ji wanted to prove his conjecture, so he walked here with Ke Xu?"

"Then why stop at the library door?"

"I don't understand. Why don't they get out of the car?"

The van was parked there quietly, but through the window glass, the audience could clearly see a man and a woman sitting in the driver's and co-pilot's seats, and they were talking to each other excitedly What.

So some viewers posted a barrage with a little doubt: "Are they arguing?"

However, because this is just an empty scene, without the missionaries, the angle of view cannot be adjusted, and the audience can't hear their voices at all, so no one knows what they are arguing about.

But soon, the situation turned around.

About three to five minutes later, Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi appeared at the entrance of the library.

They heard the sound of the engine coming and coming to a sudden stop, and the screeching sound of the brakes attracted their attention.

Ding Yi glanced at the window on the third floor of the library, and saw the van parked at the entrance of the library.

She realized immediately that something strange had happened to the nightmare.The van was supposed to emerge from the museum after 03:30 and drive towards the direction of the space agency, but it was only three o'clock now, and it had already appeared and parked at the entrance of the library.

Ding Yi didn't know what happened, but since the change had happened, she immediately put down the information in her hand.

That document was a very important document discovered by Ding Yi in the reading room on the third floor, apart from the dispute over unknown objects.

Maybe it's not very useful for this nightmare, but at least it made them peek into more secrets about the past.

It was a tracing of the origin of the inexplicably spreading madness in human society.

Previously, Wu Jian had told the taskers about the book he found on the second floor of the library, and that book was more about narrative and description, while the information in Ding Yi's hands was more professional.

The author of this material, spent more than a year with his companions, carefully searched and compared the time of madness in different regions, and finally they found the origin of madness——

It seems so, after all without any tangible evidence to support their conclusions.

In their research, the origin of madness, or rather, the center, is located in Cangcheng where they are now.

More precisely, the blockade.

"If this spreading madness is like an epidemic, a plague, then the source of the outbreak, (more strictly speaking, the infected person who first showed the corresponding symptoms.) appeared in that apartment building."

Ding Yi didn't know the specific derivation process of this conclusion, and time was limited, so she could only read the most important part of the conclusion first.

But, that apartment building?That blockade?

Fei and Wu Jian had already informed the rest of the taskers what they had gained, and they didn't emphasize the blockade area in their words.

In their view, the old man outside the blockade is the one who is really related to this nightmare.

But for Ding Yi, this is not the case.She has been brooding over the existence of that blockade.

She knew that the nightmare corresponding to this blockade was the nightmare that trapped Sister Jiang.

Two of her subordinates once told her about this nightmare in detail, and she also got some hints from Mu Jiashi.

She also knew that that nightmare was the nightmare of the neighbor of the mysterious bookstore owner on the bottom floor of the narrow building.

These relationships are twisted and messed up, but Ding Yi really cares about the existence of this nightmare.

But the origin of madness?

Ding Yi couldn't help frowning deeply.

The problem is that there are no lunatics in this apartment building and that commercial area in that nightmare.

Those refined furniture—in other words, those people trapped in the network...

Ding Yi was startled suddenly.

People trapped in the network, she thought?

Isn't that in line with their status quo?

Ding Yi was panicked for a moment, always feeling that he seemed to have found some special clues.

She secretly wrote it down, and then thought, the crux of the problem is that these two characteristics of the refined furniture and the crazy human beings are not particularly consistent.

So, why did the investigator come to the conclusion that the blockade was the origin of the madness?Obviously their final performance is not the same!

Ding Yi flipped through this document and finally realized that it was because there were indeed lunatics in that blockade.

But in this material, the so-called "spiritual furniture" is avoided, and only the moment when the madman appears is discussed.

And if you only look at the appearance of lunatics, then indeed, that blockade area is indeed the first place where inexplicable lunatics appeared since records began.

But this point surprised Ding Yi again.

There is no mention of Chengjing's furniture, so... what does this phenomenon mean?It is also a symbol of madness, or is there another mystery?

Ding Yi felt a little puzzled.

More, it is an uncontrollable panic.

She was stunned with the document.

Then, she heard the sound of an engine from the street outside, and the sudden sound of brakes.

Ding Yi went to the window to have a look, and realized that it was a van from the museum, so he put down the materials and went to the first floor of the library with Mu Jiashi.He Shujun also followed behind them slowly.

They saw a man and a woman in the van at a glance, who were arguing fiercely, and one of them was Ke Xu who Ding Yi met at the side entrance of the museum during the last round of nightmares.

She frowned slightly, walked non-stop, and came to the side of the truck. Before she could greet the two people, she heard their quarrel.

Ding Yi stopped and listened attentively.

In the live broadcast room, Xu Beijin focused the live broadcast on Ding Yi, and the audience could finally hear what they were arguing about.

"Don't think about those things anymore, Aji. We are getting married next month, so don't be so pessimistic? We won't die, and nothing will happen to this world..."

Unexpectedly, Ke Xu's tone turned out to be very earnest, completely opposite to his irritable and impatient appearance when he appeared before.For other people, it is really different from treating fiancee.

However, Xie Ji didn't seem to want to agree with Ke Xu's idea.

She screamed: "No! No! The end is coming! Really...you believe me, Ke Xu, you really have to believe me."

Following her words, Ke Xu also gradually became anxious: "Trust you? But how can I trust you?! Believe that we will die in the next moment, believe that we will go to hell together soon?

"Ah Ji, be sober. It's not that I don't want to believe you, but... this is really a fantasy, okay? Something is about to fall from the sky? Who would believe such a thing!"

Xie Ji was already crying softly: "That's why I asked you to go to the space agency, you can go and see for yourself, okay? Something is really going to happen, I didn't lie to you. Really... we are all going to die... "

Ke Xu inhaled and exhaled deeply, he didn't want to argue with Xie Ji.They had already had a public quarrel last night, so he was even more reluctant to do this.

However, he was really unwilling to believe what Xie Ji said.

It's unwillingness, not genuine disbelief.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his body trembling.He thought, why Xie Ji didn't understand...

Why didn't she understand that the point was death, not what she kept saying, believe it or not?

That is, that is death.Death is near.

To ask him to admit that he is about to die, and let him die generously... How is it possible?

Who can face the eternal silent death without changing his face?This is not a game, this is reality, and this is death that turns into the cold ashes of the grave.

This is not something that can be resurrected by clicking the mouse in the game, death.

So Ke Xu already felt deeply tired.

He stared blankly at the road in front of the car. The asphalt road was scorched by the sun as if it was about to leak oil.

There was an inexplicable anger and powerlessness driving him, which almost made him quarrel with Xie Ji.

That's how they quarreled last night.

If Ke Xu told Xie Ji about death, Xie Ji would say that she was afraid of many things, but she was not afraid of death.So, why is Ke Xu afraid of death?

And if Ke Xu said that he didn't believe that such a thing could happen, then Xie Ji would say it again.

No, how could he not believe her?That was something she saw with her own eyes, and it was a disaster that was bound to fall on this planet.

After all, Ke Xu thought, Xie Ji just wanted him to admit that he was going to die.

Their wedding will never happen again.

Thinking of this, Ke Xu couldn't help but pat the steering wheel vigorously, anxiety and fear distorted his facial expression.

The van beeped, which startled Ke Xu himself.

He subconsciously looked out nervously, only then did he notice that there were several people standing outside the car.

He frowned, his usual irritable temper tumbling again.He opened the car window and asked impatiently, "What are you doing here?!"

Ding Yi stared at him carefully, confirming that Ke Xu did not remember the process of the last round of nightmares.

She pondered for a moment, and then said: "We heard your quarreling... about the unknown objects in the sky."

Ke Xu frowned, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Ji.

Xie Ji directly opened the car door and got out of the car. The woman in the big bang dress came to Ding Yi and asked urgently, "You know...you believed it, right?! There is indeed such a thing! Please help me, please help me convince Ke Xu..."

"Enough!" Ke Xu finally couldn't bear it anymore. He also got out of the car and roared loudly, "I admit it! I believe in you! Then, what's the point?! Aren't we still going to die?!"

Xie Ji looked at him blankly.

Ke Xu was shaking with anger, he didn't know why he was so angry.

He didn't have a good temper, but he always treated his fiancée very tolerantly, but at this moment, he felt a boiling, flame-like anger.

He said: "You want me to admit that I'm going to die, right? Yes, that's right! I'm going to die! Let's die together, okay?! What do you want from me?!"

In the quarrel last night, he kept silent at first, but as Xie Ji's mood became more and more fluctuating and heavy, he was finally infected and confronted her tit for tat.

But he thought it was over.He thought that after the quarrel last night, Xie Ji had given up on talking to him about it.He didn't want to face such a possibility, he didn't want to believe it.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's just that he doesn't want to admit this reality.

What reality?

Namely, there is a real possibility that they are going to die.

How ridiculous.

The woman who was about to enter his married life for the next few decades told him that we were going to die.We don't have a future anymore.

And she even cruelly asked him to admit this fact.

Ke Xu looked at Xie Ji fiercely, and said without hesitation: "So, are you satisfied? If you are satisfied, then shut up, I beg you, stop talking!"

Xie Ji's eyes were blank. After Ke Xu got angry, she seemed to be frightened.

Her complexion gradually turned pale, and she said slowly: "Ke Xu, I'm not afraid of death...I'm not afraid. What I'm afraid of is that even if I die, I don't know why I died..."

But Ke Xu said: "But, I am afraid of death." He said, "I am willing to die without knowing anything. Just let me die like this, A Ji, please."

Xie Ji's expression is gradually becoming painful, she doesn't understand why the man she loves thinks so.Why was he thinking the exact opposite of hers?

Maybe they can live together peacefully in normal times.However, when disaster struck, their lives were completely changed overnight.They can no longer coexist peacefully.

Xie Ji fell to the ground and let out a cry of grief.

Ding Yi watched all this blankly, not understanding what was going on.Why are these unmarried couples arguing like this?In the face of the disaster, they are still arguing about their ideas.

Perhaps, indeed, there was no time.The only time left is just enough for them to quarrel and struggle for each other's ideas.

Xie Ji instilled into Ke Xu the idea of ​​doom over and over again, but maybe she just hoped, Ke Xu said to her, "It's okay, we have to die together. We will always be together."

But obviously, Ke Xu is not such a character.

Therefore, Ding Yi could only stare at the scene in front of him, silent.

Finally, she turned her attention back to the nightmare itself. Looking at the man and the woman, she couldn't help thinking to herself: "So, who is the master of this nightmare?"

Her eyes fell on Ke Xu.

All signs indicated that Ke Xu was the master of this nightmare.He is a man, and there is a reason for this nightmare: his fiancée may have died in the fire from heaven.

If it's just to be on the safe side, then the taskers may wait until the end of this round of nightmares to see if Xie Ji died in this disaster when the sky fire came into the world.

However, Ding Yi always felt that doing so was somewhat dangerous.They can't let the nightmare collapse.

Just like the nightmare she and Mu Jiashi experienced together, if she let it go once, the nightmare will continue to collapse.

If it wasn't for Mujia's strength to turn the tide, they might have fallen in that nightmare.

So Ding Yi hoped that this nightmare would be solved in this round.There is still enough time.

Just as she was thinking, two men and two women came along the west road.It was Cun Tou and Ye Lan, who also brought Xu Xiaoli and Zhang Minglian over, using the same excuse as the previous round of nightmares.

The two taskers returned to the entrance of the library from the residential area, and looked at the scene with some surprise.

Cun Tou made a joke: "Hey, everyone is here, it's quite lively."

The tasker and the couple glanced indifferently.

Cun Tou made fun of himself, snorted resentfully, and then began to understand the situation.

Afterwards, he looked at the man and woman thoughtfully, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Then Ke Xu must be the owner of this nightmare, right?"

Ding Yi hesitated to speak.

She thought so, but felt that something was wrong.

Ding Yi may not know the three major contradictions summed up by the reasoning boss in the live broadcast room, but she has also realized that there seem to be various things that are not quite right in this nightmare.

Cuntou looked at her expression, thought for a while, and said, "Well, let's use a panel card."

Ding Yi was startled.

Cun Tou said: "It's okay to use this kind of rotten item card."

He made this decision not just based on the tastelessness of the panel card.

More importantly, when he saw that Ke Xu and Xie Ji were both here, he realized that Fei and Wu Jian probably had nothing to gain.And they better get this nightmare sorted out as soon as possible.

It's a big deal to enter this nightmare next time and play a true ending.It's not impossible.

For taskers from higher levels like Cun Tou, the more the nightmare collapses, the more dangerous the situation is.

He didn't want to sink into the nightmare of eternal collapse, especially after going through so many nightmares and leaving everything behind to go back to the bottom of the narrow building.

He just wanted to be as safe as possible, and to keep himself safe.

So he made this proposal.

Generally speaking, taskers always avoid the existence of item cards in their nightmares.They are worried that their item cards will be stolen, and they are also worried that others will misunderstand that they have plans for their item cards.

Therefore, many taskers simply pretend that the item card does not exist.

But Bunny has no such concerns.

After all, when he and Ye Lan entered this nightmare, they only brought one panel card——

Yes, I only brought a bad street panel card.He felt that the first time he entered this nightmare was mainly to collect information, and he didn't need to do his best.

Therefore, at this time, he also mentioned the option of panel card without any scruples.

This is a shortcut.

Generally speaking, taskers would not encounter such embarrassing situations in their nightmares.

They also didn't expect that in this nightmare, they were completely unable to determine who the owner of the nightmare was.

Indeed, in some nightmares, there will be some distracting items.However, as the nightmare progresses, the taskers will naturally realize who the owner of the nightmare is.

Just like the nightmare that Fei and Wu Jian went to before.The more time passes, the more obvious and clear the truth that the little girl is the host of the nightmare becomes clearer. In the end, it has become their consensus, even though the little girl does not match the image of the narrow building resident.

However, in this nightmare, that is not the case.

The nightmare has progressed to the third round, but they still cannot confirm the owner of the nightmare;

Even Ke Xu and Xie Ji could be the masters of the nightmare.

Although Xie Ji does not match the gender of the residents of the narrow building outside, but... what if?

Maybe she had a sex reassignment operation, or...for example, in the nightmare, he thought he was a woman?Maybe he's also a lunatic?

Or, maybe it was Ke Xu who died when the fire came into the world, and Xie Ji, in grief, began to imitate and act as his fiancé, and it might be possible to gradually confuse the real with the fake?

After all, in the narrow building, it is impossible for them to go rogue enough to personally confirm the gender of the residents of the narrow building.

They are just guessing instinctively based on the voices, body shapes, etc. of the residents of the narrow building.Maybe the narrow building resident is actually a woman?

In short, anything is possible.

And the panel card can at least help them confirm who the owner of the nightmare is.

So, after being surprised, Ding Yi said, "Then I will trouble you." She paused, and then said, "If you want, I can make it up to you later."

As a billionaire at the bottom of the narrow building, although Ding Yi has given up the business empire he built himself.

However, Ding Yi, who has a big family and a big business, still has wealth that ordinary workers can't imagine.

Cun Tou refused the proposal with a big grin: "You are so kind. But, no need, it's just a panel card."

Ding Yi nodded, and didn't put a hot face on his cold ass.Her item card would make people believe her words instinctively. For example, at this moment, Cun Tou didn't suspect that she just said something nice.

However, not all of her proposals can be accepted unconditionally.

Since Cun Tou refused, Ding Yi also followed him.

On the other hand, Mu Jiashi glanced at Bunny, thinking to himself, a stupid high-level mission worker.

Have you been to the ground floor of the narrow building a few times?Have you never heard of Ding Yi's name?Do you know that you are wrong?

It seems that they don't know.

Not knowing what he missed, Cun Tou took a few steps forward, took out an item card from his pocket, and pointed it at Ke Xu.

After a while, he said: "He didn't run away, he is the master of the nightmare."

Ding Yi was a little surprised: "It's really him?" She paused, and then said, "It's not that I can't understand..."

Ke Xu looked at them inexplicably.

Cun Tou squeezed his chin and stared at Ke Xu: "What he is afraid of...it should be Xie Ji's death, right? So, if Xie Ji's death can be avoided, the nightmare should be able to come to an end."

"But this is probably just an ordinary ending." Ding Yi said, "Once the identity of the owner of the nightmare is confirmed, this ending will be obvious."

They were discussing when they suddenly heard two shouts from a distance.

Fei, Wu Jian, and the long-haired man finally walked back to the library from the space agency.In addition, Xu Beijin, Lin Po and Lu Chengzhe also came out of the library.

Now, except for the two old men, all the key figures of this nightmare are gathered here.

But Wu Jian said in surprise: "You confirmed that Ke Xu is the owner of the nightmare?" He couldn't help but said, "But both Fei and I feel that Xie Ji is more likely to be the owner of the nightmare."
