Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Useless work.

When this word appeared in Mu Jiashi's mouth, the other three taskers were startled.

And that person suddenly let out a tragic wail, the pain, regret, madness and unwillingness in it made all the taskers tremble suddenly.

In the end what happened?What useless work?

Mu Jiashi squatted down anxiously, and said in an unprecedentedly earnest tone: "We are looking for the truth. If you know something, please tell me, is that okay?"

The man had a pair of cloudy eyes, now that Mu Jiashi looked carefully, he could see his eyeballs moving slightly.He is conscious and can understand Mu Jiashi's words.

But he said vaguely: "No, no... no, believe it, don't believe it..."

Do not believe?

Mu Jiashi was taken aback.

Wu Jian asked behind him, "Can I use that item card?"

Ding Yi's item card.The hair turns blue, but it can make everyone believe what the user says.

This is an incredible item card, and it is also an item card that is sufficient to solve their current predicament.

Mu Jiashi never liked to use item cards in nightmares before. Like many other quest players, he thought it was a kind of cheating. In addition, using item cards would inevitably bring corresponding costs.

But this time, after Wu Jian's prompt, he took out the item card without hesitation and used it.

His hair turned blue, and he explained their situation to the man again.

After hesitating for a long time in a daze, the man finally spoke slowly.

His voice was hoarse, with some viscous, sickening sound, as if his throat was full of blood.

His body was clearly injured to this point, but he was still able to breathe with difficulty.

Perhaps death would set him free.

But he is lingering like this, because...

"This labyrinth we've built is a waste of work," he said.

Maze built?

Mu Jiashi was stunned almost instantly.

When he saw this maze, he had to admit that he also agreed with Jia Yi and Jia Er's point of view.

This maze doesn't look like a building on Earth, nor does it look like an in-game copy.

It's like a real madman's nightmare.

Endless patches of electronic color shone with inexplicable light.Who, if not a madman, could paint such a picture in his own world?

Although Shen Yunju said that he had seen this labyrinth, or similar buildings, Mu Jiashi was somewhat hesitant.Has such a building ever appeared on earth?

But what's the point of such a building?

This is just a maze, but even a playground doesn't need such a big maze, right?

But now, the man who seemed to be dying told them that this was a maze they built with their own hands.

Mu Jiashi stood there in a daze, various possibilities appeared in his mind.

Behind him, Fei and Wu Jian had already talked to themselves excitedly, each with their own conjectures and assumptions.

Mu Jiashi didn't listen carefully, he just looked down at this person, and continued to ask: "Since it has been built, why is it still useless?"

"We want to trap them. This place," the man continued shortly, "but we're still too weak... too weak... there's nothing we can do. They come, they go. It's all the same. "

Mu Jiashi finally asked the question: "Who are they?"

"The mastermind behind the scenes, the culprit." The man said, "Actually, I don't know what they are or who they are. They just came here, they just came...here. The maze can't trap them."

Mu Jiashi frowned: "You are obviously here too, why can't you see them? Did they enter the maze?"

"Can't see. They're not like us. It's... different, a form of existence. I don't even know if they're in the maze or not.

We built mazes, thinking we could trap them, but it didn't work, it was all useless... crap, crap. "

The man whimpered and cried, and the uncomfortable voice in his throat became more intense.

But Mu Jiashi ignored him.

He was stunned there, and suddenly thought of "Heavenly Fire Comes into the World".

He thought, yeah, "God".

Look at that infinite universe.

Behind him, Wu Jian's voice trembled: "Do you still remember that in our previous nightmare, there were people arguing about where the unknown object in the sky came from..."

"Some people say that they are aliens." Fei replied blankly, "But, there really are..."

Are there really aliens?

In this vast universe, is there really intelligent life other than human beings?

Humans never knew the answer.Are humans too weak, or are humans too powerful?

Now it seems that they are still too weak.

According to this person, they can't even comprehend the existence of this intelligent life form.

Mu Jiashi felt that his legs were a little numb, so he simply sat on the ground, staring at that person silently, but didn't know what to ask for a while.

He suddenly thought, no wonder Xu Beijin said that this place was what they were looking for.Here's where the truth can be told.

However, if it weren't for Ding Yi's magical item card, they probably wouldn't be able to get the truth...at least they wouldn't be able to learn the truth so easily.

It is estimated that when other taskers encounter living people in the maze, they will not be as smooth as them.

But in fact, Mu Jiashi didn't want to go so smoothly.

He actually resisted the truth a little bit.

He was silent for a while, and finally said: "So, are 'they' the ones who caused the madness and the fire from heaven? "

The man murmured, "I don't know. Nobody knows. They just show up out of the blue and say, We're theirs. Nobody's going to let that happen, right?

"We have survived on this planet for so many years; and now, an inexplicable race jumped out and said that we are their slaves and they are our masters... They gave us a month to say goodbye and Be mentally prepared.

"No one will be willing. So we built this maze. For the first time I saw human beings so united...

It may not be united, but I don't know what the whole process is like.I just participated in the construction process of the maze.

"But... it didn't work, it didn't work at all. It took us a month to build the maze. It took them a second to destroy the maze.

"You know what it's like, what kind of feeling? It's like, everybody's been hit with a hammer and we thought it was going to work. Everybody thinks that.

"Their existence is beyond our imagination. That is...that...we can't imagine, we can't understand, higher creatures. And we are lower creatures. We are...we are all waste .”

He murmured, his voice almost bleeding.Then he coughed and coughed continuously.

He didn't say why he appeared here, why he looked like this.

And Mu Jiashi wasn't going to ask.

He just thought, so it was like this.It turns out that this maze is like this.

Why build with electronic color blocks that are constantly changing colors?Perhaps it is because the weakness of this alien race lies in its spirit?

And such gaudy colors make the human spirit feel uncomfortable, and may also be lethal to them.

However, it is human wishful thinking after all.

Is this the truth about this maze?

Mu Jiashi stood up and looked back at Fei, Wu Jian and the witch.The faces of the three taskers were not good-looking, and Fei was crying directly.And Mu Jiashi guessed that his appearance was similar.

Mu Jiashi wanted to say that it was time to go.It was time for them to do other things, but some powerful force froze his legs, making him indulge in a heart-penetrating ice-cold for a long time.

He looked at the other questers, and the other questers looked at him.

They were all silent.

Finally, Fei wiped away her tears, came to that person, and asked in a ferocious tone: "After destroying the maze, what did they do?"

Why did these humans appear in the narrow building, and lost all their memories from the end of the world?

But the man ignored her.

Mu Jiashi asked this question again.

This time the man answered slowly: "I don't know. I died in this maze."

He moved his head, as if he wanted to take a look at himself, but he couldn't do it, so he gave up, and he said, "Yes, he died in the same way he is now."

On the contrary, Fei felt a kind of deep confusion.

They've come so close to the truth, but they still can't get the answer to the question that puzzled them in the first place.

The earth is finished, human beings are finished.OK, they all know.

But what about the narrow building?Why are there narrow buildings?

Mu Jiashi also knew Fei's intention in asking this question, he said: "Perhaps only NE can answer this question for us."

"There is also Xu Beijin." Fei said, "Maybe he will know too."

Mu Jiashi hesitated for a while, and then said: "Let's talk about it in the next round. We should continue to move forward and continue to look for... the exit of the maze."

Crimson nods...

Just when they were about to leave, the man lying on the ground suddenly said, "You don't need to bother."

The missionaries were all taken aback.

The man raised his head and looked at them: "In order to trap 'them', this maze has no exit. "

Mu Jiashi's expression changed instantly.

The man said: "Of course, there is no danger."

Humans just want to take "them" as hostages and negotiate terms with the race behind them.However, they failed to even take the first step.

From the beginning, the labyrinth was just a prison.

It was originally to trap their enemies, but now, they trap themselves.Destiny is ridiculous, comical, and unpleasant.

Mu Jiashi stood where he was, his expression fluctuating.The brilliance irradiated by the surrounding electronic color blocks made his face even more ugly.

He was silent for a long time, as if accepting this reality, and thinking about how to deal with this situation.

In the end, he said: "Let's go, find other people. Meet them and tell them this information. Maybe we can use Ding Yi's item card again to get more from other living populations in the maze." Information.

I suspect that without this item card, more complicated methods may be needed to learn the truth.

"Then……"

Wu Jian asked, "Then?"

"Ask Xu Beijin." Mu Jiashi said in a deep voice, "Since he is the owner of this nightmare and said that this scene is what he is looking for. Then, he should know how to solve this dilemma."

Wu Jian nodded, he seemed to have recovered, or maybe he hadn't fully understood the importance of the information he had obtained.

He just sighed, and then said, "This damn place doesn't even have a door."

Mu Jiashi replied casually: "It was originally a place where there was no exit..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the sorceress suddenly turned her head to look at him, with an unstoppable astonishment and subtlety in her eyes.

Mu Jiashi felt a little inexplicable, but also felt that the witch's ability was good and bad, and could not be completely ignored, so he tentatively asked: "What did you think of?"

The sorceress was in a daze for a moment, and then slowly said: "It's a...strange, premonition. A...déjà vu."

Visual sense?

For Fei and Wu Jian, this word brought them back to the office building where the elevator had serious problems almost instantly.

Fei quickly asked: "What kind of déjà vu is it? Is there any clear picture?"

The sorceress was in a daze, but slowly shook her head, and muttered, "I can't remember... I just think it sounds familiar."

Wu Jian scratched his hair in confusion, and guessed: "Brother Mu just said that there is no door built, but is there an exit or no exit in this place? No, the owner of the nightmare has already entered, he can't let Are you in danger yourself?"

Mu Jiashi said subconsciously: "So it is definitely possible to go out here."

Fei's face suddenly changed.

Mu Jiashi asked: "What's wrong?" He was a little anxious, "Did you think of anything?"

"The narrow building..." Fei hesitated again and again, but still said softly, "There is no exit from the narrow building, but can you leave?"

"But what he said was that there was no exit at all, and Xu Beijin said before that there is an exit in the ultimate nightmare..."

Mu Jiashi's words suddenly stopped.

His face darkened again, as if realizing something terrible and gloomy.It was as if a devil was screaming in his ears.

Fei tremblingly said: "If the narrow building means there is no exit? Maybe the "exit" he mentioned is not the one we imagined... Maybe it is like this maze, this is a prison that can only be entered but not exited. "

Mu Jiashi was silent.

Finally, he said, "No, don't think about it. I'd like to believe that we can go away." He murmured, "Yes, I'd like to believe that."

Scarlet hesitated to speak, and finally, she said: "I think, yes."

Wu Jian hurriedly eased the atmosphere.

Afterwards, several people left the corner together to find the companions who had dispersed.

He Shujun and the others turned left continuously at the second turn of the road on the right, and finally entered a small dark room.

They thought they could see a living person, but instead, it was something lying on the ground like a dead person—yes, a thing.It was almost impossible to see that it was a person.

His body was so tattered that his facial features could no longer be seen.His limbs curled up, leaning tightly against the corner of this dark room.Even when four strangers walked in, he didn't respond.

From his appearance, it is difficult to see what he has gone through to become what he is now.

Maybe he suffered a torture, or maybe he just softened his body and clothes on a heavy rainy day.

Of the four taskers who walked in, He Shujun and Jiayi looked very eager, while Shen Yunju and Ye Lan still had serious expressions, as if they had always been calm.

Therefore, He Shujun was the first to rush forward and talk to that person.

But to her disappointment, the man didn't answer any of her questions.

His eyes looked blurred, completely unresponsive.He Shujun suspected that this person hadn't heard his words at all, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to move his eyes.

As soon as A walked to his side and saw this scene, he couldn't help but said inexplicably: "It doesn't make sense. When we came here before, he was still muttering some nonsense, why is there no reaction now."

Shen Yunju came over and asked, "What did he say before?"

A recalled it for a while, and then said: "Actually, what these people said is similar, such as all kinds of despair, feeling like a waste, and so on. But they didn't disclose any useful information."

Shen Yunju was a little disappointed, but said again: "He could talk before, but now he doesn't respond at all. Could this be because we met him in this nightmare, which is different from the normal nightmare in the narrow building?" the same?"

"You said he has fallen?" A was taken aback for a moment. Actually, he didn't have that kind of tangible feeling, and realized that the people who appeared in these scenes were all failed and fallen.

He thought for a moment, and couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "It's possible. But, if he is like this now, how can we get information from him?" He touched his chin, "Maybe we missed some conditions?"

Ye Lan tried to talk to this person again, but she was still ignored, so she shook her head helplessly: "Let's go. Let's go to other places first."

The other missionaries all agreed, so they left the small dark room and continued to walk east.

In the process, they all felt that their eyes were going to go blind.

On the left and right, including the ground they stepped on, are large blocks of color that constantly change colors.

The kind of color jumping that hits the face may feel very interesting and lively at the first time.

But after watching too much, coupled with the phenomenon of persistence of vision, they only feel that their eyes are dizzy, and they are about to pass out.

They had to stop and look up at the sky.But there is a more subtle picture in the sky.

The black is indeed pure black, but it is a mirror surface, like a colorful black, with a special filter that is extraordinarily hazy and dreamy.

After a while, the taskers felt that they were about to hallucinate, as if their own figure appeared in the vast darkness and was reflected on a pure mirror.

He Shujun rubbed his eyes and sighed: "How can there be such a ghostly place..."

She muttered and complained, but the other missionaries also acquiesced to her statement.It was a terrible place, especially for their brains and eyes.

They stopped for a while to rest, and then went on.With Jia Yi leading them, they are not afraid of getting lost for the time being.

But it was precisely because of their walking around that they missed Mu Jiashi and others who came to look for them.

Mu Jiashi, Fei, Wu Jian, and the sorcerer came to this dark room that needed to turn left, turn left, and turn left again.

Mu Jiashi couldn't help sighing when he saw that the dark room was empty except for the man on the ground.

Instead, he said, "Why don't we communicate with this person first?"

His hair is still blue, and the item card is still in effect.

The other taskers agreed with his idea.

So Mu Jiashi stepped forward and squatted beside that person.

I don't know if it was because of this item card, or because Mu Jiashi already knew the information revealed by the other person.So, after asking a few questions, the man spoke up.

His story was pretty much the same as the guy before him, except that something came and they built this maze to trap them.

But the result of building this labyrinth was a complete, utter failure indeed.

Speaking of this, the person in the dark room also showed a decadent and desperate expression.

He is also the builder of the labyrinth, and he also participated in the acceptance of the labyrinth after it was built. For them, this labyrinth is their greatest hope.

Perhaps this is true for all human beings.

But it turned out to be a failure.

Mu Jiashi listened to this man's words, but thought absent-mindedly——Really?is that so?Have they really failed?

And then his brain gave its own answer: Yes, they failed.

Failure, these two words made Mu Jiashi show an extremely complicated expression.Once he was in a similar failure, embarrassed, depressed, and unable to escape.

And that was just his personal failure, and what they were facing now was the failure of all mankind.

As individuals, engulfed in such a terrible event, they seem to have no ability to resist.

As the builders of these labyrinths say, "they" may be higher creatures than humans.

Just a second of effort destroyed their month's achievements, and it was also their month's hope.

The man murmured, and kept saying this thing, repeating it over and over again, as if he could never get out of the maze of his mind.He was probably trapped here by himself.

Yes, he was originally a sinking narrow building dweller.A loser stuck in this nightmare.

They had a conversation that didn't work, but then the person said something that the other person hadn't mentioned before.He said that traitors have actually appeared among humans.

traitor?

Mu Jiashi couldn't help being silent for a while.

The looming premonition seems to have been verified.

When the previous person said that the human society is all united to build this epic maze, Mu Jiashi felt a little confused.

unity?Even in their time, the world has become very peaceful, but unity has never been a word on the lips, because they all know that they will not be united.Humans are such creatures.

In the face of foreign enemies, some people will move forward boldly, while others will have weak knees.

So is the maze really a symbol of human unity?Is it just a desperate attempt?

Besides, Mu Jiashi really didn't want to admit that human beings are so incompetent in front of that special intelligent life.

One month, one second... Such a straightforward and obvious contrast made Mu Jiashi feel a little inconceivable.

Therefore, the existence of traitors seems to be a matter of course.

But the previous person never mentioned any traitors.Instead, now, said the man who lived alone in the dark chamber, "traitor".

Mu Jiashi couldn't help but look at this person with a strange look.He has sound limbs, and although he is also in a daze, not too far away from death, his condition is obviously much better than that of the previous person.The winner is clearly not human.

Who is the traitor?

Mu Jiashi had an answer in his heart.

This made him suddenly lose interest in talking to the person in front of him.

And the man murmured, "Traitors...traitors... are worth nothing to 'them' because they don't need them.That is, a more advanced creature. "

He spoke in a tone of subtle regret.

Mu Jiashi was silent for a moment, then stood up, and together with the rest of the taskers, left here without saying a word, not even saying goodbye to this person.

In the long corridor full of complex lights, Mu Jiashi let out a long sigh of relief, and then said, "Let's go, let's go to the middle road."

Wu Jian said: "It seems that when A, A, and A and II entered this nightmare before, they didn't meet any living people on the middle road? I remember that."

Fei nodded and said, "Yes. But... maybe someone knows this nightmare better than the two of them?"

She didn't name it clearly, but everyone knew she was talking about Xu Beijin.

And at this time, the three of Xu Beijin did find a living person.
