Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

The road in the middle leads straight to the end.There are countless forks on both sides of the road, but they did not enter, but chose to go straight to the end.

At the end, a wall of electronic color blocks blocked their way.There are two forks on the left and right.

Jia Er followed up and said: "We have already walked on both sides before, and we didn't find anything."

During this journey, he has been following behind Lin Po and Xu Beijin.His character is relatively silent. From the moment he entered this nightmare, he never took the initiative to speak except when he was needed to appear.

But at this time, there was a wall blocking them here, so he had no choice but to go forward and talk to Xu Beijin and Lin Po.

Lingo has been supporting Xu Beijin all the time. Even after entering the maze, Xu Beijin's complexion has improved a lot, but Lino still does not let go of Xu Beijin.

Of course, at this time, he just moved his hand from Xu Beijin's arm to his fingers.

They hold hands.

This actually made Xu Beijin a little embarrassed and ashamed, but when he turned his head to look at A Er, he found that this person was very self-aware and kept some distance from them. I became angry from embarrassment.

What are you doing, are he and Ringo so obvious?Aren't they still earnestly completing the task of saving the world? !Why is this tasker so far away from them?

Lingo followed him back to look at Jia Er, and then a trace of surprise and satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He glanced at Xu Beijin's face again, and immediately said, "Do you want to find something in this maze?"

"The first step is to let them know the truth." Xu Beijin came back to his senses, thought for a while, and then said, "The second step...we need to find someone."

"Who?"

Xu Beijin shook his head and didn't answer the question directly, but when they reached the end of the middle road, Xu Beijin looked at the shining wall in front of him and said, "We need to go behind this wall."

"Behind?" Jia Er was stunned for a moment, "I think...it seems that I can walk, but I have to go around the road on the left."

Xu Beijin nodded and said, "Let's go..."

So Jiaer led the way and led them to the place that was theoretically behind the wall.

Jia Er's heart was full of confusion, he couldn't help thinking, is there anything behind that wall?

But they had entered this nightmare several times before, and never found anything there, it was just empty corridors and corners, nothing.

However, just as they turned another corner and were about to go forward, Ringo suddenly said, "We've deviated from our direction."

"Did you deviate from the direction?" Jia Er was very surprised, "But..."

He turned around, carefully recalling and proofreading the route they had taken along the way, but as he thought about it, he became more and more drowsy and confused.

He suddenly realized that he had completely lost his sense of direction in this maze.

What he remembered were the routes, but whether these routes were consistent with what he thought in his mind, where they were going, seemed to be a big question mark.

"So..." Jia Er said uncertainly, "Did this maze deliberately adopt this plan when it was built? Subtle direction deviation? Or is it that the scene in the maze will produce a special kind of effect on our brains? Impact……"

While talking, he couldn't help looking at Lingo.

He didn't question Lingo's meaning. For one thing, the uncrowned king at the bottom of the mysterious narrow building always had a peculiar and convincing aura, and his force value was so amazing.

Second, before Xu Beijin said that they were going to go behind the wall, but Jia Er had been there once before and found nothing special.

He would rather believe that they went to the wrong place than Xu Beijin's wrong choice.

But this brings up another question: If the influence of this maze on human sense of direction is indiscriminate, why can Ringo tell the difference?

As for Xu Beijin, it was not the first time that Jia Er was confused by Lin Po's behavior on his side.

Ringo has shown countless times that he is different from other taskers, but no one has ever paid attention to this matter.

On the one hand, the reason is that Ringo himself does not know the reason, but on the other hand, Ringo has stayed at the bottom of the narrow building for so many years.

And with so many oddities, it sounds incredible that people ignore the past intentionally or unconsciously.

Xu Beijin once again thought of his previous guess.

Ringo...would it be so special?

He took a deep breath and looked at Ringo slightly worried.He thought that this puzzle might only be answered after he found NE.

No...he can take Ringo to find NE.

This may be safer, whether it is for him or for Ringo... this is considered to be out of his selfishness.If anything happens during his search for NE...

"Ringo..."

Just when Jiaer was worried, he suddenly heard Xu Beijin solemnly call Lingo's name.

Jia Er also looked up subconsciously.

Ringo asked lightly, "What's wrong?"

"If I'm going to die soon, will you die with me?"

"Of course..." Ringo was a little surprised and delighted, "I'm very, very happy."

Xu Beijin looked at Lin Po with extremely complicated eyes, and then he said, "No, there's no need to do this."

"That's impossible!" Lingo suddenly became angry, "I promised! When you die, I must die too!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He couldn't laugh or cry, and finally he could only sigh in his heart, and then said to Ringo: "I understand."

Lingo was still worried: "Do you really understand? You can't secretly do dangerous things behind my back... You can't, you can't hide it from me!"

He was anxious, urgent and powerless, when Xu Beijin appeared outside the maze with such a pale face, he almost felt his heart stopped beating.

His loved ones are being tortured where he can't see them.But he didn't even want to tell him, he just ignored his physical problems lightly.

Lingo already felt very angry, but he didn't want to be angry with Xu Bei.

But Xu Bei absolutely can't, can't...he can't keep doing this, he can't keep hiding it from him.Obviously they are very close...

Lin Po stared at Xu Beijin, his eyes were slightly red, he looked very fierce, and he seemed to be about to cry.

It was probably the first time he encountered such intense emotions, he stared at Xu Beijin for a while.

Then he said: "If I didn't know that I like you, I would even feel that you are my enemy now." He thought for a while, and then said, "Yes, I want to fight with you."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He said helplessly, "Come back and fight you."

Ringo was taken aback.

He looked at Xu Beijin suspiciously, half-believing: "Is it true? Haven't you always been unwilling?"

Xu Beijin said, "You've been begging me for so long..."

Ringo thought for a while, then said, "I'm talking about that kind of fight, not that kind of 'fight'. "

Xu Beijin: "..."

Who cares what kind of fight you're talking about!How could there be someone like Ringo... He stopped beating!fuck it!

His ears were red, but he narrowed his eyes as if nothing had happened, and looked away expressionlessly.

Instead, Ringo smiled contentedly.He thought, this is the Xu Beijin he was familiar with.

He was irritated by Lin Po's words, but instead he would sulk with himself.

Not far away, Jia Er: "..."

He moved his feet silently to keep himself away from the couple.

To be honest, I have stayed in the narrow building for a long time, and it has been a long time since I realized that I am a light bulb...

After a while, Xu Beijin calmed down.He looked at Jia Er and was silent for a moment, as if hesitating what to say.

Finally he gave up and turned to Ringo and said, "Let's go, you lead the way."

Ringo nodded.They changed direction, walked for a while, and turned a few more corners.

To be honest, the fancy maze walls made Jiaer even a little confused whether they were going straight or turning.

But Ringo still looked serious and serious, and was not confused by the particularity of this place at all.

After a few more minutes, they rounded a bend and finally came to a slightly open place.

Here, they saw a man.

Jia Er quickly analyzed the pattern of the entire maze in his brain, and re-established a new road map, and then he said in surprise: "This is...the center of the maze?"

Lingo replied: "Almost. A little lower than the center."

Xu Beijin's eyes fell on the living man.

It was a middle-aged man in a black suit, but although the attire sounded very serious, his appearance was already very sloppy, and the suit looked worn out.

He didn't know how long he stayed here alone, he just stood there quietly, no one knew what he was thinking.

His eyes stared blankly at the ever-changing electronic color-block walls without blinking.

The arrival of the stranger made him turn his head warily.

Jia Er said in surprise: "This is someone we have never met before."

The four fell into a delicate confrontation.

The middle-aged man looked wary, but did not attack.His eyes were very clear, as if he wasn't crazy, nor had he collapsed because of this nightmare.

But his appearance in Xu Beijin's nightmare, in the gray mist, meant that he had fallen into a deep sinking.He became a prisoner of this nightmare.

In the end, it was Xu Beijin who spoke first.

He said, "Dr. Chen, we finally meet."

This address stunned the other three present.

The middle-aged man didn't understand why Xu Beijin knew his identity, while Lin Hao and Jiaer, it was because Xu Beijin actually knew the identity of this middle-aged man?

However, Lingo was only surprised for a moment and then immediately calmed down.What Xu Bei knew was nothing unexpected to him.

In his eyes, Xu Beijin seemed to know everything.

On the other hand, Jia Er, his eyes were surprised at this time, and he kept moving back and forth between Xu Beijin and the middle-aged man.

He is a tasker from a higher level, and besides, he was not called back from a higher level by Mu Jiashi until he entered this nightmare.

From this perspective, he actually didn't know anything about Xu Beijin's previous deeds.

He doesn't quite know Xu Beijin's "great achievements" when he was surrounded by countless missionaries at the bottom of the narrow building; nightmare.

He just heard some rumors about the identities of the residents of the narrow building, and heard about the mystery of Xu Beijin from Mu Jiashi.

That's all, for this nightmare trip, he has a little hope, but he is not as desperate as the rest of the missionaries.

So did his companions.

Of course, he didn't pay much attention to the owner of this nightmare, Xu Beijin.He always felt that it didn't make any sense.

Could it be that these narrow-building residents who are in the same predicament as them can understand more information than these missionaries?

If the Narrow House residents really know better, why haven't they done anything for so many years?

Based on this kind of thinking, Jiaer actually didn't have much hope for Xu Beijin.

Of course, I try my best to solve the nightmare, and I still try my best to overcome the difficulties.But what do you really expect Xu Beijin to do?

That's not realistic.

But it was precisely because of this that when Jia Er heard the word "Dr. Chen" suddenly popping out of Xu Beijin's mouth, he was instantly astonished.

He knows the identity of this man?Does he even know where this man is?

And this maze...

At this moment, Jiaer suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "You haven't lost your memory?!"

What he said was referring to all the memories between the end of mankind and the time before mankind entered the narrow building.

Facing the surprised and uncertain gazes cast by Dr. Chen and Jiaer at the same time, Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, and did not directly answer Jiaer's question.He said, "Dr. Chen Simiao, my name is Xu Beijin."

Chen Simiao is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with calm and rational eyes.

He still seems to be awake, and has always been sober.But that couldn't explain why he appeared in this nightmare, this maze.

Chen Simiao was silent for a moment, and then finally said: "Who are you? Why do you know my name?"

Xu Bei stared at the man.

For a while, he was a little confused.

Is this the real Chen Simiao, or is it just a cosplayer playing Chen Simiao?

Or, when this actor enters the play, he has become the real Chen Simiao?

Chen Simiao, did he die at that moment?

Xu Beijin unexpectedly lost his mind unconsciously.He paused for a long time before answering Chen Simiao's words: "Doctor, about this maze...I'm afraid, I have to come to you. After all, you are the designer of this maze."

Chen Simiao's face couldn't help changing.

And Jiaer's expression also changed. In his opinion, Xu Beijin admitted that he still remembered what happened before they entered the narrow building.Otherwise, how would he know that Chen Simiao was the designer of the maze?

He almost couldn't help opening his mouth, asking why they appeared in the narrow building.

Why on earth are they trapped in this eternal cage and cannot escape?

But Jia Er finally held back.

He quietly listened to the conversation between Xu Beijin and Chen Simiao, just like the attitude he had always maintained.

And the other person present, Lingo, stayed out of the matter from the beginning to the end.

His expression made one feel that if one of the speakers was not Xu Beijin, then he would have left this boring conversation far away.

Chen Simiao looked at Xu Beijin in confusion and anxiety.

His voice was a little hoarse, and his tone became hurried.He seemed unable to believe that there was still someone who knew his identity and understood his past. He asked urgently: "But...but, since you know my identity, what else do you want to ask? I have nothing more to tell you... ..."

"That loophole."

Chen Simiao's words stopped abruptly.

Xu Beijin said slowly: "During the process of building this labyrinth, traitors appeared in human beings, and they mixed in with the builders, designers, and inspectors of the labyrinth.

They have left a hole in the maze, a hole through which "they" can escape.

"I need you to tell me the exact location of that loophole."

Chen Simiao's body began to tremble.He grabbed his hair, his face distorted in pain, and he yelled: "No! I can't tell you! That's... I don't know... I don't know at all!"

"Don't you know?" Xu Beijin said, "It was your student who turned his back on mankind, and he became the sinner of all mankind. If it wasn't for him, we might have escaped. He destroyed the hope of mankind. "

Chen Simiao knelt on the ground, and the veins in his neck burst out.He seemed to want to explain something, but couldn't open his mouth.He could not explain his students' sins.

That is his favorite student.

Some images seemed to flash before his eyes, including the past between him and his students, about this labyrinth, and the last moment... the last, the moment of failure...

Chen Simiao is a master of architectural design.His disciples are all over the world, and he himself also enjoys a very high reputation.He is one of the main designers of this maze.

He and other architects, as well as experts in other fields, were responsible for the construction of the maze.They had to complete the blueprint of the maze within a week.

That may be the most complicated architectural drawing in human history.

And it was perfected and sketched by Chen Simiao himself bit by bit, for which he was devoting himself to sleepless nights.Except for him, and his students, no one has access to this blueprint.

During the process of transferring the physical object of this blueprint and the computer storing the electronic version of this blueprint, neither Chen Simiao nor his students had contact with any outsiders.

In other words, the problems on the drawings existed at the very beginning, when they drew the lines of the maze, they had already appeared.

But Chen Simiao knew that he himself had never betrayed human beings.It is impossible for him to do such a thing, so there is only...

his students.

But why?In his eyes, his students are diligent, inquisitive and positive children.

Why would he do such a thing?What's the point of making this choice?

He has betrayed his race, and "they" as the opposite will not accept a betrayer.

Chen Simiao couldn't figure it out.

However, things will not change because of his ignorance.

He witnessed the defeat of human beings, he saw human beings become prisoners, and so did he.

Now, frantically and lucidly alone in the center of this maze, he was just thinking—he was just thinking, why?

And Xu Bei is definitely not interested in "why".

He didn't know if the man in front of him was the real Chen Simiao, or a fake impersonator.

Maybe this person just learned everything from the script, then he went crazy, and then he became Chen Simiao... Anything is possible.

And Xu Bei was definitely not interested in his mental journey or the mental journey of his students.

He just wanted to know...

His gaze was deep and oppressive. He stared at the middle-aged man and asked each word, "Where is that loophole?"

"I won't tell you."

Chen Simiao said.

Xu Beijin took a deep breath.

Chen Simiao said incoherently: "I can't tell you. What do you want to use this loophole for? I can't tell you...I don't trust you. I don't believe...it's impossible that there are people who know about this.

"They... us. The whole of humanity. We're finished. We've reached a dead end. That's how it is. There's no way we can exploit that loophole..."

"This is your idea!" Xu Beijin's tone finally revealed a hint of irritability, "And I have a way. I can take advantage of that loophole..."

"But I don't believe it." Chen Simiao said with a stiff neck, "I can't casually tell this loophole to anyone who comes over suddenly and asks me to tell the truth about it."

Xu Beijin stared at him quietly for a while.

Lingo stood beside him and gently squeezed his hand.

Xu Beijin breathed a sigh of relief slowly, he felt the boiling anger in his heart, but he knew it would not help.It was impossible for him to force Chen Simiao to tell this matter.

So he turned to say: "It's because of your students."

Chen Simiao's breathing stagnated invisibly.

Xu Beijin said: "If you hand over this loophole, it will prove that your student is indeed a shameless betrayer. And you don't want to admit it."

This was the first time Xu Beijin used such a harsh tone.

And Chen Simiao's face was flushed, like a child being scolded.And even so, he insisted: "No, I won't tell you."

Lin Po looked at Xu Beijin's gloomy face, and moved his wrist eagerly.

Xu Bei sighed exhaustedly, took Lin Po's hand, and said in a low voice, "It's useless."

Chen Simiao still looked at them with great resistance.

Ringo stared at this guy for a while, and then said, "Why is it useless?"

"He's crazy." Xu Beijin said, "That's why he insisted on...his own ideas. His student is indeed a traitor, this is a recognized thing, otherwise, "they" would not be able to easily destroy out of this maze.

"However, only Chen Simiao and his students who have personally handled the blueprint of the maze will know where the loophole is."

In the end, Xu Beijin's voice became softer and softer, almost as if he was talking to himself.

Lingo didn't understand half of what he heard, but he still asked curiously, "What's the loophole?"

Jia Er couldn't help but looked over.

He also wanted to know what the loopholes in Xu Beijin and Chen Simiao's mouths were.

Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, and then answered Lingo's question.
