Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Now, Xie Zhijin is standing outside the narrow building alone.

All kinds of thoughts skipped his brain.He has recovered his memory.Once he left the nightmare, the influence of the ultimate nightmare on his brain completely disappeared.

But it was precisely because of this that Xie Zhijin fell into a deep sense of astonishment and disbelief.

He left Ultimate Nightmare just by going through a door.

So there's no danger in that door at all?It was just...just, a door.a channel.Road……

Inside the door is the ultimate nightmare, and outside the door is gray fog, and now the gray fog has permeated the narrow building, so the door is also connected to the narrow building.

That sounds like great news.

But why can he come out directly?Is he now sober or crazy?

Moreover, if he is still lucid, then if he leaves, can the ultimate nightmare continue?

That is the nightmare of all mankind.Would it be a problem if he was missing one?

"Damn it..." Xie Zhijin had a sullen face, thought for a moment, and still entered the narrow building with the other lunatics.

He wanted to try if he could still enter the ultimate nightmare if he slept now.

He didn't want to stay alone in the narrow building at this time, with these lunatics, and then... can't do anything.

The feeling of powerlessness is the most frightening.

He entered the narrow building.

However, it was at this time that he noticed some strange movements in the distance.

He looked over, and then saw two men walking on Prime Avenue, with their backs to him.

These two men don't look like lunatics.

Xie Zhijin hesitated for a moment, then chased after him: "Wait a minute! Wait! Excuse me..."

Xu Beijin and Lin Po were surprised to hear the voice behind them, they subconsciously stopped, turned their heads, and looked at the person who came.

Xu Bei could tell at a glance that this person hadn't sunk into a nightmare.

Then why did he appear from the gray fog?

Xu Beijin frowned subconsciously, which made his face look very inhumane.

But Xie Zhijin didn't hesitate at all, he immediately said: "My name is Xie Zhijin, I just came out of the ultimate nightmare..."

"What?!" Xu Beijin was astonished, "You came from the ultimate nightmare... wait, you walked out through the door?"

Xie Zhijin didn't understand, so he nodded.

Xu Beijin thought for a moment.

Then he asked, "Did you lose your memory of the Narrow House in the ultimate nightmare?"

"Uh...yes." Xie Zhijin said still a little confused, "Does this have any effect? ​​No... The point is, if I come out of the ultimate nightmare, will it have any effect on the ultimate nightmare?"

Xu Beijin took a deep look at him and said, "It won't have any impact, don't worry."

Xie Zhijin was a little confused.Although this person said that it would not affect the ultimate nightmare, Xie Zhijin breathed a sigh of relief, but the question is...why does this person know this?

Xie Zhijin thought for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed. He asked, "You are...you are the bookstore owner that Fei and Wu Jian mentioned, right? Xu...Xu Beijin?"

Xu Beijin was startled, and said, "I am..."

Xie Zhijin immediately relaxed: "Great. I'm the founder of Fei and Wu Jian's organization, maybe you've heard them talk about me." He looked at Ringo, "This is Ringo, right?"

Ringo nodded calmly.

Xie Zhijin breathed a sigh of relief in an instant.

But in the next second, strong confusion and incomprehension filled his brain.

Why didn't Xu Beijin and Ringo appear in the ultimate nightmare?Aren't they human?Or did they come out through the door like Xie Zhijin?

But when Xu Beijin heard that he came out of the door, he was very surprised.This overturned Xie Zhijin's latter guess.

Xie Zhijin only felt that his brain was a little knotted.

Xu Beijin said, "Let's go to the bookstore. I will answer your questions."

Xie Zhijin nodded and silently followed behind them.He thought in awe in his heart, Fei and Wu Jian were right when they said that the bookstore owner was very unpredictable.

Xie Zhijin knew about Xu Beijin's relationship with Ringo, so he tactfully kept a distance from them.

And Lingo also muttered in a low voice, "I thought it was just the two of us..."

Xu Bei gave him a funny look, squeezed his fingers lightly, and said, "It's important."

"Then you can stop doing business when you finish your business?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

Ringo's persistence was beyond his imagination.

He was angry and funny, so he could only say: "Yes..."

Only then did Ringo feel happy.

They came to the bookstore soon and sat down.There are lunatics all along the road, and there are seemingly endless lunatics emerging from the gray fog outside the narrow building.

Xie Zhijin's head was full of question marks, he just felt that there were too many things that puzzled him along the way.

Why did he walk out of that door and come directly outside the narrow building?Why do these lunatics keep emerging from the gray mist?Does this have anything to do with the opening of the ultimate nightmare?

Like those lunatics, he walked out of the door in the gray fog, so that means he is also a lunatic?

But he felt that he was very sober, and he didn't sink into the nightmare at all?

Moreover, why didn't Xu Beijin and Lingo, the two of them, enter the ultimate nightmare?

They...should be human too, right?

And Xu Beijin said: "Let's start with the question of why you returned to the narrow building from the ultimate nightmare."

Xie Zhijin nodded repeatedly.

Xu Beijin explained: "I think you should know that people who sink into nightmares, whether they are taskers or actors, will enter the gray fog. That is, the gray fog outside the narrow building.

"And the ultimate nightmare is no exception. Falling into the ultimate nightmare naturally means that they will enter the gray fog.

However, now the gray fog is almost covering the narrow building, so in a sense, entering the gray fog from the ultimate nightmare is naturally going outside the narrow building.

"What you see now, so many lunatics in the narrow building, are the people who perish in the ultimate nightmare.

However, from this point of view, stepping into the door of gray mist, and then returning to the outside of the narrow building...

In other words, those who leave the ultimate nightmare from the gray fog should all be those who have sunk into the nightmare and lost their sanity and self-awareness. "

Xie Zhijin nodded repeatedly.

And what is confusing about him is that he has not lost his mind.He was still awake, and even recovered his memory the moment he returned to the narrow building.

So Xu Beijin said, "You are very special."

These words made Lin Po look at Xie Zhijin with a particularly critical look.

In the end, Lin Po probably felt that this middle-aged man in his thirties probably didn't have much charm to attract Xu Beijin, so he turned his eyes away bored.

Xie Zhijin, who was listening intently to Xu Beijin's words, did not know that he had just missed a crisis.

Xu Beijin didn't pay attention either. He continued, "I've heard from Fei and Wu Jian that you once felt that a certain nightmare was your own personal experience? And this prompted you to establish that organization."

Xie Zhijin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes. When I entered that nightmare, I felt that there was... a very strange atmosphere.

I think the feeling of that place, the things that happened in that place... are very familiar. "

he murmured.

Xu Beijin was silent.

When the Fieka tribe put humans into this game, they deleted the memory of the doomsday in their brains.The high technology of the Fieka tribe is enough to allow them to do this.

But in fact, besides the memory, other things are also deleted.

For example, anything, elements, characters, etc. that might wake up their memory during the nightmare.

They will unconsciously ignore things that may awaken their memories, turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear, as if they were hypnotized.

Wu Jian will not think of "Cangcheng", nor will he clearly realize that he is from Cangcheng;

Mu Jiashi will not automatically remember that he is a student of Qucheng University.What they have is just a vague concept.

It was the Fieka people who blocked some elements of their memories.Most of these elements are related to the end of the earth.

However, what is special about Xie Zhijin is that even though his memory has been blocked, he still seems to have some special and keen intuition and instinct.It was as if his body still remembered what had happened.

Xu Beijin suddenly remembered something: "If I remember correctly...you seemed to be a vegetable before you entered this game?"

Xie Zhijin was at a loss, and replied with some hesitation: "Should...should, yes?"

He said, "If that nightmare is really my past, then I should be the man who was hit by a football and fell on the concrete floor, and then turned into a vegetable."

He described what he had experienced, but his tone was not so intense.He has realized and accepted everything that has ever been.

Even, even if he realized that it might be his past experience, he probably didn't have this actual feeling.

He has forgotten everything.When he leaves the ultimate nightmare, he won't even miss and look back on what he used to be on earth.

That is a thing of the past, and it can never be undone.

Xie Zhijin lowered his head and looked at his hands blankly.He shook it subconsciously, feeling a solid, recognizable feedback and a sense of reality.

This made it hard for him to imagine that he was actually in a game at this time.

A fake world made of data.They are just ghosts floating in this world.

"Vegetable..."

Xu Beijin said in a low voice.

The concept gave him some new ideas.

In fact, he doesn't know much about vegetative people in the medical definition. He only knows some hearsay rumors about vegetative people.

The EEG of a vegetative person shows stray waveforms, which means that it is not really brain dead.

There are some half-truths and half-false rumors that people in a vegetative state are not unable to sense the outside world, but unable to wake up.

Xu Beijin doesn't particularly understand the definition of life in the Fieka tribe, but according to his guess, vegetative people should also be regarded as a kind of life form in the cognition of the Fieka tribe, and the Fieka tribe can take the life form of a vegetable person. Brainwaves are extracted.

That is to say, vegetable people like Xie Zhijin may be more inclined to the definition of life of the Fiekka and Milton tribes than humans.

Their noumenon is something similar to the conscious body. According to human civilization, it is artificial intelligence and procedural life, which is an invisible life feature.

So Xie Zhijin is special.

Not only Xie Zhijin, but perhaps other people in similar situations are special.

Their life forms may have undergone some special changes when they were put into the game by the Fieka tribe.They are more like conscious beings than physical based beings.

In the definition of the Fieka tribe, the latter is an "ancient" and "primitive" creature.

In any case, this seems to be able to explain Xie Zhijin's keen instinct and intuition in the game.

In other words, he won't really get lost in the nightmare.If the attributes of a creature can be intuitively reflected by data, then he can be said to be outstanding in terms of spirit, will, and self-awareness.

In fact, the same is true for Xu Beijin and Lin Po.They were more like Fieka and Milton than human.

However, Xie Zhijin's body obviously still exists, but Xu Beijin and Lingo have already lost their way home.

Xu Bei lowered his eyes unconsciously, showing a little tiredness.He didn't know how to explain all this to Xie Zhijin. For all human beings, this was an unwarranted disaster.

He also couldn't explain to Xie Zhijin what Fieka and Milton were, and what were the life forms defined by these two races.

So in the end, he just said, "Maybe it's just a bug in the game."

Pushing everything to the bug is not a good habit;

But at least this will let Xie Zhijin understand the particularity of this matter.

Xie Zhijin blinked in confusion.

Xu Beijin said: "In short, you lost your memory in the ultimate nightmare, that is, you fell into it; but at the same time, you didn't really lose your self-awareness, and you keenly discovered the problem.

"That creates a contradiction. You're awake and you're not, you're in the nightmare and you're not in it.

The game mechanism thinks that you are already a tasker who has fallen into a nightmare, so you can enter the gray fog outside the narrow building.

"So, when you entered the door in the gray mist, you triggered a special bug. The game mechanism will not make a second judgment, and your sobriety has not been discovered. In other words, your amnesia phenomenon is that the level is more important symbol of.

"Anyway, you returned to the narrow building from the ultimate nightmare."

Xu Beijin didn't change his face, and spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

Of course, he felt that there should be some truth in this.

People lost in the ultimate nightmare, entering the door in the gray fog, naturally entered the gray fog.The other nightmares in the Narrow House do this.

The only problem is that now the gray fog has connected the ultimate nightmare and the narrow building.

There are several situations in this.For example, is it the lunatic who was in the gray mist before?

Is it the people who sink into it and lose themselves in the ultimate nightmare?Is it the people who are still awake in the ultimate nightmare?

The first type of people, they will go from the gray fog to the ultimate nightmare, because this is the "danger" of the ultimate nightmare, and it is also their mission.

The second type of people, they will pass through the door of the gray fog in the ultimate nightmare and return to the narrow building, which is the densely packed group of lunatics outside. This is the setting of the game mechanism for these fallen people and the gray fog.

And the third type of people, if they accidentally enter the door of gray mist in the ultimate nightmare.

They should, then, come out of another foggy door in the ultimate nightmare.

The door in the gray mist really became the transmission channel in the ultimate nightmare, just like what happened in Xu Beijin's nightmare.

Now that Xie Zhijin has returned to Zhailou, it means that he should be considered crazy in the judgment of the game mechanism.But in fact, he is sober.

Xie Zhijin suddenly realized.

He didn't know why Xu Beijin knew such details, but this statement could indeed explain his experience.

He feels that he is indeed sober, but in fact, on the game mechanism side, since he has lost the memory of the narrow building, it can be said that he has sunk into a nightmare, and he is already a lunatic.

Since he is a lunatic, he should naturally come to Gray Mist.This is the role of the gray fog in this game, to contain those who have lost their minds.

After all, it is not unusual for him to return to the narrow building;

It's the really strange thing that he can stay sane.

Xie Zhijin thought of just now when Xu Beijin asked him if he was in a vegetable state.This, he thought, was what kept him awake?

This made Xie Zhijin feel a little complicated.

After a while, he calmed down and turned to other questions.

He said, "So, what am I going to do next?" He volunteered, "Should I sleep and re-enter the ultimate nightmare?"

Xu Beijin replied: "There is no need for this." He asked calmly, "What were other people doing before you left the Ultimate Nightmare?"

"They are planning to find developers of artificial intelligence." Xie Zhijin said, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, you know..."

Xu Beijin nodded and said, "I know..."

Xie Zhijin didn't explain much, just said: "Others want to do something in the ultimate nightmare, instead of sitting and waiting to die."

Xu Beijin said sincerely, "I hope they can succeed."

This is the solution to the normal, game-driven ultimate nightmare.Instead of violently dismantling the ultimate nightmare from the outside like Xu Beijin.

At this time, Xie Zhijin seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Xu Beijin, "By the way, I have to say thank you."

Xu Beijin said in confusion, "What? If it's because of the ultimate nightmare..."

"No, I mean..." Xie Zhijin quickly explained, "Thank you for reducing the difficulty of the ultimate nightmare."

Xu Beijin: "..."

When did he turn down the difficulty of the ultimate nightmare?

Xie Zhijin sighed and said: "The lunatic who ran out of the gray mist was no longer aggressive, and the taskers and cosplayers quickly gathered together... This is all your arrangement before we entered the nightmare, right?

"You are so farsighted!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "Where, this is what I should do."

He was too lazy to explain clearly to this group of taskers who misunderstood him all day long!OK, that's what he did!He took the blame!

However, what Xie Zhijin mentioned still made Xu Beijin think for a while.

The lunatic who ran out of the gray mist was no longer aggressive...

In fact, the group of lunatics outside the narrow building are the same, but Xu Beijin didn't think deeply about it.

He speculated that perhaps the ultimate nightmare had some special effect on these madmen.

Who knows what is going on in their brains at this moment?

Although Xu Beijin and others called these people lunatics, that was only based on themselves.

These people are not completely irrational, but they are not the kind of "reason" that belongs to the narrow building.

When they are sinking into the ultimate nightmare and losing the memory of the narrow building, they become the original real earthlings.In addition, they also fast-forwarded and experienced the doomsday again.

In other words, when they stepped into the door in the gray fog, they seemed to have traveled through it all at once, and came to a strange scene from the earth—a narrow building.

Xu Bei selfishly thought that this might be a formal completion of the repetition of the end of the earth.

Of course, there is no scene in the ultimate nightmare where alien creatures descend and take this group of humans away.

But that is indeed the last step in the end of mankind.

There are three stages in the end of mankind:

Crazy spread, sky fire descends into the world;

As for the last stage, Xu Beijin always called it the human cage.

This is the complete doomsday.

Sober taskers and cosplayers will not go through this final stage, but those who have fallen into nightmares and really think they have returned to the earth have actually come from what they think of as "earth" to this place that traps countless human beings. in the cage.

Xu Bei couldn't help but think that the human designer of this game—if there is one—is really an extremely obsessive-compulsive person.

He actually wanted these human players to re-experience everything that happened in the ultimate copy of the game.Perhaps he was hoping to awaken the memory of his fellow men.

And these lunatics—maybe they can't be called lunatics, but should be called "earth people". They may be in a state of panic all day long, and they don't understand why they came to this strange place.

So they are not aggressive.If there is, it is because of their experience of the doomsday reenactment in the ultimate nightmare, which makes their behavior full of madness.

But why, in the ultimate nightmare, those people who had already sunk into the nightmare earlier in the morning, running out of the gray mist, were not aggressive at all?

Xu Beijin didn't notice this before, he was busy looking for the data port, and only occasionally paid attention to the scene in the ultimate nightmare.

After thinking for a while, he quickly came up with the answer, and the answer was not exactly what the taskers thought. Someone lowered the possibility of the difficulty of the nightmare.

Rather, because these lunatics are players after all.

In other words, when they enter the ultimate nightmare, whether to attack those around them is determined by their own will, not by the game mechanism.

Although they are called "crazy" - like this group of crazy people from the ultimate nightmare, their behavior is also full of "crazy".

However, their madness lies in their obsession with a certain nightmare, a certain nightmare based on the experience of the doomsday on Earth.

They cycled and reincarnated countless times in such nightmares, constantly experiencing everything that happened on the earth in the past.Nightmarish scene.

And when they return to a moment when there are no nightmares and the end is still going on rather than being irretrievable, the earth is still "alive", has not turned into a blackened one, and has not yet reached a dead end...

What will they do?Will they take the initiative to attack others?

No, they won't.

In addition, if NE is still there, then NE may use some specific means, similar to forcing the player to play a certain role, and let these lunatics attack the sober people.

But NE is dormant now, and of course Xu Beijin would not use NE's authority to do such a thing.Thus, the initiative returned to the hands of these lunatics themselves.

Xu Beijin was surprised to find out, so in the end, the reason for the decrease in the difficulty of the ultimate nightmare still fell on him after all?

If it weren't for him, it would be impossible for NE to sleep at all, so those who are immersed in the nightmare, of course, still "have to" attack others in the ultimate nightmare.

It is because of Xu Bei's presence that NE will take the initiative to sleep, which will indirectly lead to a reduction in the difficulty of the ultimate nightmare.

Xu Beijin thought silently, is this called taking the blame?

No, the pot flew towards him automatically!

Xu Bei couldn't laugh or cry, but in the end he had to admit that this was a good thing after all.

The reduction in the difficulty of the nightmare makes the actions of his human companions in the ultimate nightmare smoother and safer.Perhaps, they will soon be able to achieve the situation that Xu Bei was looking forward to.

As for Xie Zhijin...

Xu Beijin looked at him and pondered for a moment.

And Xie Zhijin looked at him, then at Lin Po, and suddenly proposed consciously: "Then I'll go outside to check on other people's situation first, and come to you if there is anything else."

As an adult, a mature middle-aged man, Xie Zhijin will not allow himself to be a light bulb.

Ringo nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Beijin said: "It's best not to leave the original avenue. The situation may change in a short period of time, so pay attention to safety."

Xie Zhijin thanked him and left the bookstore.

Only then did Ringo relax completely.When outsiders are around, he will always be on guard unconsciously, especially since Xie Zhijin is still a stranger meeting for the first time, even if this guy introduces himself as Fei and Wu Jian's superior.

Lin Po looked at Xu Beijin and asked him, "So what can we do now?"

Xu Bei glanced at him, unfolded the control panel and placed it in front of Ringo, showing the scene from the ultimate nightmare."It's something to watch," he said.

Ringo: "..."

It's terrifying...

The questers in the ultimate nightmare don't know that someone is watching them.

It was also the first time in a long time that Xu Beijin finally looked at the screen in the live broadcast room again.The audience is obviously used to Xu Beijin disappearing from time to time, it might be better to say that Xu Beijin is more like a director.

And the audience is more like watching a TV series.

However, Xu Beijin still apologized to them for his disappearance in the past period of time.

The live broadcast system has completed its historical mission, but the audience in these live broadcast rooms has brought Xu Bei a lot of fun and companionship in the past.

Maybe he will never know who the audience in these live broadcast rooms is in his life, and when he leaves the narrow building, he may not turn on the live broadcast system again.

Now on the screen in the live broadcast room, someone's survival process in the ultimate nightmare is playing.

Together with his companions, he survived on the ruins, looked for food, and fought with other survivors... always.

The audience also watched with gusto, expressing their views on this person's way of survival through barrage from time to time.

At this time, Xu Beijin apologized, and then said: "Everyone, because of some things, I may not be able to broadcast live in the future."

There was an uproar on the bullet screen in the live broadcast room.

"No! How can I live without your handsome face, my Bei!!"

"I didn't say, Bei, you won't be scared by such cool live broadcast data, right? You should switch careers to broadcast other games earlier!"

"Yeah, it happens to be this game. Didn't you say that the ending is coming soon? Then you can try something else."

"North! There are many other games waiting for you! Don't give up!"

Xu Bei couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know how to explain to the audience that he had no interest in live game broadcasting at all.

He himself is a boring, reserved person.At least in his own opinion, he is not suitable for the career of game anchor.

But obviously, in this day and age, the face is the most important thing.

Xu Beijin looks so handsome, from the audience's point of view, he should appear in the live broadcast of the game.

So, without knowing how to communicate, Xu Beijin, who doesn't know how to refuse other people's requests, muddle-headedly agreed to the audience in the live broadcast room. After a period of rest, he will continue to broadcast live, just change the game.

Xu Beijin: "..."

It's too bad, when will he change his character of not rejecting others.

Xu Bei tried his best to help his forehead.

He turned to look at Lin Po, temporarily turned off the sound in the live broadcast room, and then said to him, "I found myself a regular job as a game anchor."

Ringo was a little confused.

Xu Beijin suddenly had some teasing thoughts, he said: "I have already made arrangements for my life after leaving the narrow building, how about you? Is there anything you want to do?"

Lingo hesitated for a while, considering his ability, and then he said: "You will be the anchor, and I will be your bodyguard?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

Little Apple's whimsy.

Xu Beijin patted Lin Po's shoulder helplessly, sighed and said, "Just be the game anchor's boyfriend."

Lin Po thought for a while, and suddenly said proudly: "Only I can be your boyfriend, the only one in the whole world. This is suitable for me."

Xu Bei smiled.

Only then did Ringo seriously say, "I can find a job. I can support myself, support you—everything is fine, and we can live a good life in the outside world."

Xu Beijin was taken aback, looking at Lingo, marveling at Lino's keenness.Maybe he didn't even realize that when he mentioned the world outside the narrow building, he used an uncertain, slightly uneasy and hesitant tone.

But Ringo discovered this.

Ringo's keenness will always move Xu Beijin at a certain moment.

He sighed and said, "You're right. We can live on."

Any kind of life is good, it's better than being stuck in this ghostly place like Zhailou for a lifetime.

He thought for a moment, then looked back at the screen in the live broadcast room.The Milton had been watching the live broadcast, waiting for the signal from Xu Beijin.

They had already agreed on an approximate time, but the Milton never left.

Xu Beijin also didn't want to think about what the Miltons thought of humans.Everything had to wait until they left the narrow building.

He found Mu Jiashi and the others.

Now, the team of six has been expanded again.

They met more companions in the fog and after they got out of the fog.This made them believe once again that the difficulty of the ultimate nightmare must have been reduced.

But in the end they did not choose to act with large forces.

One is because such a large team will attract the attention of others;

The second is because they have disputes about where the fog first appeared, so they decided to go to different places.

They were divided into three teams.

Fei, Wu Jian, Jiang Shuangmei, and Ye Lan went to Xie Zhijin's community.

Mu Jiashi, Shen Yunju, and the witch went to a hospital that the witch had passed by before.

Ding Yi, He Shujun, and the man who was with He Shujun, who she said was her companion, went to He Shujun's high school together.

Residential areas, hospitals, high schools.

These three places are what they each said, where they first saw the fog.

Among them, He Shujun's high school is worth mentioning.

After He Shujun got together with Mu Jiashi and others and understood where they were going, he immediately said: "Then you are not sure, that neighborhood is where the gray fog first covered. I came to the ultimate The nightmare came after my high school, and then I left high school and went to a nearby gym, where I met my mates."

She introduced the man next to her. He was a tall, thin, nervous and shy young man with small round glasses.He introduced himself as Xi Xi.

"He Xi was exercising in the gym when the end came." He Shujun explained casually, and then continued, "The two of us stayed in the gym for a while and talked about what happened recently. Then, there was an accident in the gym ...

In short, we left the gym at that time, and when we happened to pass by my high school, we found a strange gray fog on the campus. "

She shrugged: "I think this seems to come earlier than what you just said, the gray fog in that residential area.

We left the gym just as the madness was starting to creep in, with a gap of a few minutes at most. "

After Mu Jiashi pondered for a while, he thought what He Shujun said made sense.

In other words, although what happened to Xie Zhijin reminded them of the place where the gray mist first covered, perhaps the place where vital information was hidden in the game settings, but that place didn't necessarily have to be Xie Zhijin's community.

Then they met the sorceress, and the sorceress's statement became even more mysterious.

"I was walking up and down the street after I left the house ... then I passed a hospital and I heard screams coming from inside. I got a little closer and I saw the fog," she said.

This sounds earlier than what He Shujun said.

But the question is also, how fast does the madness spread across these various scenarios?

They've been in the ultimate nightmare for so long that their perception of time has become less clear, so there's a good chance they're referring to a different point in time.

But they didn't have time to verify it.Mu Jiashi made a decisive decision, and they still had to leave.

As a result, the three groups of people embarked on their own paths.

Walking through the gray fog, walking through the empty streets, avoiding those invisible doors, avoiding those strange lunatics, avoiding those of the same kind who have sunk into the ultimate nightmare... They are slowly approaching their respective target locations .

The first to arrive was Mu Jiashi and his party.

They were the latest to meet the witch, so they were also the closest to the hospital that the witch mentioned.

They walked very cautiously, but within a distance of ten minutes, they came to the hospital that the sorceress mentioned.

At this time, Mu Jiashi suddenly frowned and stopped.

They are already very close to this hospital, and the entrance of this hospital is just a few meters away.

But it was precisely because he saw what was going on inside that Mu Jiashi suddenly stopped.

Shen Yunju asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

The witch looked at Mu Jiashi, and then at the hospital.

Mu Jiashi was stunned for a moment, then said, "That mental hospital."

"what?"

Mu Jiashi saw the same puzzled expression of Shen Yunju and the sorcerer, and then remembered that in Xu Beijin's nightmare, it was he, Fei, Wu Jian, Jia Yi and Jia Er who came to the mental hospital together .

That...the hospital where this inexplicable madness is being studied.

In other words, neither of his two companions present had been to that hospital.

And even though they had mentioned it in their chats before, Shen Yunju and the sorceress were not clear about what this hospital looked like.

Harvest probably
