Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

The ponytail girl seized the time before the next wave of doll hunting came, and ran to the bookstore at high speed, rushing towards the bookstore like the wind.

The wind she brought up as she ran by blew all the newspapers by the counter down.

She stopped, out of breath, and squatted down embarrassedly to pick up the newspapers.She inadvertently glanced at the contents of the newspaper, but suddenly froze for a moment.

She looked at Xu Beijin and asked, "Boss, do you have an earlier newspaper here?"

"Earlier?"

"For example..." Ponytail said, "The newspaper when the boss next door's daughter disappeared."

Xu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and said, "That should be a newspaper from more than two months ago. I don't know if it's still saved...you can look for it." He pointed to the cabinet under the shelf, "It's all there in."

The ponytail girl hesitated for a moment, but finally bent down to open the cabinet and rummaged through the newspapers.She felt that since these newspapers were placed here, and even contained various detailed contents, they must be meaningful.

Xu Beijin also walked out of the counter to help search together.

Ringo stood outside the door, as if he was guarding them.

The stacks of newspapers in the cabinet were arranged in a very neat time order, which made the ponytail girl cheer after searching for a while: "I found it!"

Xu Bei thought to himself, he is not such an organized person... then thank the mastermind.

The scene layout in these nightmares is actually the responsibility of the mastermind, and it is not the nightmare of the residents of the narrow building in the true sense.So the idea of ​​the ponytail girl is very reasonable.

Since these newspapers exist, there is a reason for their existence, rather than appearing for no reason.

This is a local newspaper, and its main content is to report some important local news and chronicles.And the ponytail girl took out one of the newspapers, staring closely at the contents of the first page.

"The young daughter of the doll shop owner mysteriously disappeared. Please pay attention to the special situation around you!"

This is the news that reported Xiaochun's disappearance!

"...

"The reporter learned that the missing little girl is named Wu Xiaochun and she is only six years old.

"Two days ago, she disappeared mysteriously in the doll shop at home. Since none of the nearby surveillance videos captured the process of her disappearance, and no suspicious person was found, the police's investigation has come to a deadlock.

"'We don't rule out the possibility that the little girl went missing by herself.' A police officer said, 'So, I hope that the public can actively provide clues to help us find this young little girl.'

"Wu Xiaochun's parents also turned to reporters and this newspaper for help, hoping to attract the attention of residents and collect more clues.

"During the interview, the parents broke down in tears. 'Xiaochun is a very cute and caring child. I can't imagine what she will encounter outside alone.' Wu Xiaochun's mother cried with red eyes, 'If there is kindness If anyone finds Xiaochun's whereabouts, or knows any clues, please tell us! Xiaochun, hurry back to Mom and Dad.'

"Here, this newspaper also published a recent photo of the missing girl Wu Xiaochun. Readers and residents, if you find any clues, please contact this newspaper as soon as possible to report, or directly contact the police and Wu Xiaochun's parents. The contact information is: xxx.

"..."

The ponytail girl looked at the photo of Wu Xiaochun specially printed in color in the newspaper.

It was a cute little girl with twin ponytails, a timid innocence in her smile, and bright, lovable eyes.

The ponytail girl couldn't help thinking, would someone really do something to such a little girl?How is that different from animals?But if the little girl got lost by herself, after so many days, there is no clue or witness?

and……

Mawei girl carefully read the brief news report again, especially the description of Wu Xiaochun's parents.

Wu Xiaochun's mother was written, but her father was not...why?This shows that mother's performance impressed the reporter even more, but father's didn't?Does it mean that the mother showed more grief and suffering?

Is it just because the newspaper needs an image of a desperate woman and mother, to arouse the pity and sympathy of the readers, and better mobilize the power of the citizens?

If it's the latter, it's fine, but if it's the former, it doesn't quite match the information they've been getting all along.

Whether it's the diary or letters found on the second floor of the doll shop, the conversation with Wu Shen, or the news from the bookstore owner, they all say that the attitude of the proprietress after her daughter disappeared seems a bit too rational and indifferent...

No, the bookstore owner actually said that Wu Xiaochun's mother still dotes on her daughter very much, and would make a detour to buy snacks for her daughter after get off work.

Why is there such a difference?

What is the reason for this discrepancy...?

Inexplicably, a light flashed in the ponytail girl's heart again, but just like before, she still couldn't figure it out.

Why……

She was deep in thought, when Lingo standing at the door suddenly said, "The doll is chasing you."

The ponytail girl suddenly came back to her senses, and couldn't help cursing: "Damn it!"

She hasn't talked to the bookstore owner yet!

But the situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to think about it. She threw the newspaper on the shelf and ran out quickly. She didn't dare to be trapped in the small bookstore like last time, and was blocked to death by the dolls.

If there was a next time... She couldn't help thinking, maybe she could use the item card?

However, the number of item cards is scarce, the sources are also few, and there are restrictions on the number of times they can be used.Such too precious things are always reluctant to be used.

Facing the pursuit of the dolls like now, if it can be solved by running, it would be great.But she was secretly worried.

Now is the sixth restart of the nightmare, and the dolls have become so crazy and brutal; and if they still can't find out the truth in a short time and solve this nightmare...then what will happen to the dolls in the next restart What about the mutation?

The ponytail girl couldn't believe what the previous taskers said.

The previous taskers said that they only need to escape from the pursuit of the dolls in succession to achieve the normal ending and leave the nightmare.

If you reach the true ending, you can go to a higher floor; if you reach the normal ending, you can only stick to the original floor, but this is better than perpetually sinking into a nightmare.

But... can they really escape the pursuit of the dolls?Maybe now, what about the next restart?

Among the information they know, is there any information that they have overlooked, or is there any key information that they have not discovered?

The ponytail girl was trying to run away, she could only hope that if she went to the second floor of the doll shop again, the guy with the glasses and the guy with glasses would find something.

So did they find out?

Now Xu Beijin is watching the actions of the gangster and the man with glasses through the live broadcast room, and he can tell the ponytail girl very frankly that you are probably going to be disappointed.

The audience in the live broadcast room sighed: "These two people are in the same room, it's really embarrassing for them."

Yes, the two were not at odds from the very beginning. Although they were acting together now, they had no intention of cooperating. They just went their separate ways.

There was even a fight at first.

Gang Jing said to go to the last room on the second floor first, and the man with glasses said to go to Wu Shen first.

Gang Jing said that the time limit for girl dolls to go crazy and kill is 5 minutes, which is enough time for them to go around the mysterious studio.And if they went to Wu Shen first, then Wu Shen would definitely not let them go to the studio.

The man with glasses said, why are you sure Wu Shen won't let them go?Moreover, they should first confirm whether the disappearance of the girl doll has anything to do with Wu Shen's appearance. If it can be confirmed, then they can come and go freely on the second floor.

And the gangster almost instinctively slammed back: "How can you be sure that this doll will disappear after you go to Wu Shen? The only safe period we are sure of now is the five minutes now."

The man with glasses... the man with glasses was convinced.

Although the guy Gangjing had almost no position, he said before that he would go to Wu Shen, and now he insisted on going to the studio first, but, I have to say, there is some truth in what he said.

Yes, to put it bluntly, the disappearance of girl dolls is a problem they haven't figured out, and they can't use this problem to gamble on a chance.This is the sixth time the nightmare has started.

Thinking of this, the man with glasses couldn't help complaining again about the tasker who was scared and forced to quit.

If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't have given it in vain the first two times...

The two reached an agreement, directly skipped Wu Shen's room, and walked directly to the room on the left at the end of the corridor.

The door seemed to have not been opened for a long time. When the man with glasses stretched out his hand to open it, the hinge of the door let out an overwhelmed painful howl. The sound was so loud that the two of them turned their heads to look at the room where Wu Shen was asleep. , for fear of directly waking up the doll shop owner.

Fortunately, they waited for two seconds but did not hear any sound, so they all breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the mysterious studio.

The area of ​​the studio is not large, maybe about ten square meters in total.

The main area was a huge wooden workbench, which had obviously been used for a long time, and the color of the tabletop had turned a deep brown-black, as if it had been painted with various paints and glues, making it look sticky and dirty.

On the right-hand side of the workbench, there is a shelf as high as the ceiling, on which are placed various doll parts and making tools.The heads of several dolls stood there, unpainted and pale as skeletons.There are no glass beads in the eye sockets, just staring at the two people who came in.

The man with glasses subconsciously took a step back, almost bumping into Gang Jing's body.The empty eye sockets once again reminded him of the fear of having his eye sockets gouged out by a girl doll.

Gang Jing wanted to avoid the man in glasses who suddenly backed away, but he kicked over the trash can inadvertently, making a muffled sound.

He was startled, and looked down, only to find that in the overturned trash can, there was a large pile of messy and written papers.He subconsciously reached out and took it out, flipping through it in his hand.

It turned out to be some torn letters and draft paper, which were still crumpled into a ball. What was written on the messy paper was already somewhat difficult to discern.

Gang Jing unfolded a sheet and examined it carefully.

"You are... a lunatic..." He unconsciously pronounced the words he recognized, "...I made a mistake..."

At this time, the man with glasses also turned around, saw the big ball of paper, couldn't help frowning, and also squatted down to check.

Just at this time……

"You... what are you doing?!"

When they found the stack of torn letters in the studio on the second floor of the doll shop, the shadow at the door suddenly fell, and Wu Shen had already stood there without knowing when, looking at them with horror and anger.
