Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

The attempt to test Wu Shen ended in failure.

Wu Shen's performance was too normal and his conscience was too clear. That firm look completely shook the doubts and suspicions of the girl with ponytail, the man with glasses, and the reasoning boss in the live broadcast room.

They checked the locked gate on the first floor of the doll shop and found that it really blocked the dolls from chasing and killing them.

Those dolls who were in charge of chasing and killing, possibly from the third wave or even the fourth wave, are now crowded on the glass door on the first floor, looking through the glass at the three taskers outside.

There is a steady stream of more dolls, pouring out from deeper in the store, I don't know where they come from, why there are so many.The dolls pushed the dolls in front of them, hard, hard—

Suddenly, there was a creak.The plastic face of a doll was crushed directly against the glass door.The eyes made of glass beads rolled down, passed through the gap under the glass door, and rolled to the feet of the man with glasses, carrying dirty dust.

He dodged like an electric shock, and got a sneer from the gangster.

The girl with ponytail glanced at Gang Jing, who then restrained himself, lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and remained silent.

The ponytail girl couldn't help sighing as she looked at the steady stream of dolls and the crushed dolls in front of her.

She suddenly thought that until now, the nightmare they were facing seemed like a normal reality.

Although they could only walk around in this deserted street, and the only places they could enter were bookstores and doll shops, just looking at Wu Shen's reaction, it didn't look like a nightmare without logic.

Only these dolls who keep chasing and killing them show that this is indeed someone's nightmare.

But speaking of nightmares...

Ponytail girl suddenly said thoughtfully: "Do you think that Wu Shen's performance is too normal?"

The man with glasses was still blowing his beard and staring at the bully, and when he heard what the ponytail girl said, he replied without thinking, "Isn't he supposed to be like this... Wait, what do you mean?"

The man with glasses froze.

Mawei girl said: "Wu Shen is the master of the nightmare. Generally speaking, the master of the nightmare will be very wrong in his nightmare, it may be extreme panic, it may be excessive nervousness, it may be crazy excitement or agitation... ...But Wu Shen, he's too normal."

The man with glasses thought for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Indeed. His emotions are not right, but they are also normal emotions of a father who lost his daughter. And the owner of a nightmare is usually 'abnormal' of."

"You said 'he should be like this'," the ponytail girl repeated what the glasses man said subconsciously before, "and the owner of the nightmare shouldn't be like this. His current normal is the biggest abnormality!"

Xu Beijin, who was watching the situation in front of the doll shop remotely from the live broadcast room, suddenly couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart.

He thought, normal is the biggest abnormality...

Isn't this exactly what he thought before facing the audience in the live broadcast room?

The normal behavior under special circumstances is the biggest abnormality.

The audience in the live broadcast room didn't know what Xu Beijin was thinking. They half-understood what the taskers were talking about, and couldn't help asking each other.

"What do you mean? Have they found a new entry point?"

"Yes... the anchor said that the dungeon in this game is called 'Nightmare'. It seems that it is not just a matter of name, but a real nightmare. So, of course, the person who has this nightmare will appear in the dream. Not quite normal."

"Understood! Wu Shen is indeed acting like a father who lost his daughter, but he is not in reality, but in his own nightmare. Since he is having a nightmare about his daughter's disappearance, it shouldn't be Now this performance must be even crazier."

"What a novel angle. If this is the case, then there must be information on Wu Shen that hasn't been discovered yet, right? Ahhh, please work hard to find it! I really want to know the truth!"

"Hey, speaking of this... why are you so useless, anchor? Can you really not leave the bookstore?"

Seeing this question, Xu Beijin was also taken aback for a moment.

Can he leave the bookstore?

That's... that's a good question.

Because he never tried it.

For a long time, he has been following the instructions of the mastermind, staying silently at the place where he just entered the nightmare, completing what a group performer should do, waiting for the taskers to reach the end, then leaving the nightmare, returning to the narrow building, and waiting for the next step. A nightmare...

So infinite loop.

Because he has no motivation to advance to the level of actor, and he has never let others enter his nightmare, so he has been paddling in the nightmare as a group performer, and his life is like a pool of stagnant water.

The arrival of the live broadcast system changed his mentality to a certain extent, but when the audience clearly showed curiosity and wondered why Xu Beijin could not leave the bookstore, Xu Beijin thought for the first time, yes, why not? ?

Now that he has made changes, and even wants to actively seek out information related to the outside world, then...why not work harder?

And he himself is very curious about the truth behind this nightmare.

Wu Shen, the owner of the doll shop, is also Xu Beijin's neighbor in the narrow building. At least the doors of their houses are next to each other. Therefore, when Xu Beijin occasionally goes out, he will also meet Wu Shen.

His impression of the actor Wu Shen is that he really works very hard.

The way for the actors to go to higher floors is to secretly push the taskers to solve their nightmares completely, and the whole process cannot arouse the suspicion of the taskers.

In other words, the actors have to rely on their superb acting skills to present the corresponding clues and the truth in front of the taskers without anyone noticing, and at the same time make the taskers feel that this is They discovered it themselves.

If the actors did not take the initiative to push in the dark and provide clues to the taskers, and the taskers themselves solved the mystery of the nightmare, then the actors would not be able to go to higher floors.

On the tasker's side, if someone achieves the true ending in the nightmare, it will indeed benefit the other taskers in the nightmare, and one person will ascend to heaven.

Because of this, there will be some powerful taskers who will lead people through customs... Yes, there are also bosses in the narrow building.

But this convenience has nothing to do with the actors.

Generally speaking, it is very difficult for actors to go to higher floors.

After Xu Beijin stayed on the bottom floor of the narrow building for so long, he only heard about one or two successful performers.And, still heard.

It's like the so-called trick card that can be forcibly withdrawn in a nightmare...

Does it really exist?No one knows.

Does not exist?But there must always be a source for the rumors.

This may be Schrödinger's groundless rumours—meaning that when you see the idiom "groundless rumours", you don't know whether the other party is saying that the news is grounded or unfounded, unless you ask to the bottom of it.

The same is true of these true and false rumors in the narrow building.

Xu Beijin may not have any ambition to go to a higher level, but he always has an inseparable curiosity about the truth.Now, under the audience's reminder, he is also very quiet and eager to investigate by himself.

Uh, it's really not possible... You can also go to Wu Shen directly and ask him to give a spoiler.

Anyway, there are no rules between their actors that cannot be spoiled.

Xu Beijin made up his mind, and said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Then let's see the situation later, if possible, I will leave the bookstore and go out to have a look."

The audience cheered.

Anyway, Xu Beijin is their anchor.Although those players are serious about playing, are they as handsome as Xu Bei?Can I communicate directly with them?

Obviously not!

Xu Beijin is their own person.

Although there were only four viewers in the live broadcast room, under the cheers of everyone at this time, Xu Beijin actually felt a trace of excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time.

He was always alone in the narrow building, and he was used to such a lonely life.

The arrival of the live broadcast system seems to have really changed things.

Amidst the cheers of the audience in the live broadcast room, Xu Beijin lowered his head and smiled with some embarrassment.

"Wow, I found that my first impression of the anchor was really biased, but now I think the anchor is simply a good person."

"The anchor is still embarrassed. Is it because you are so handsome? Look up!"

Xu Bei thought to himself, but there was no need.

He seldom deals with people in the narrow building, he is not good at socializing, and always relies on his face to bluff people, so now, facing the molesting and teasing of the audience in the live broadcast room, he doesn't know how to refute, so he can only pretend that he didn't see it, and turn to Go to the screen of the live broadcast room and pretend that you are doing business.

This made the audience hahaha again, and the scene was very harmonious for a time.

In the screen of the live broadcast room, after drawing the conclusion that Wu Shen, the owner of the doll shop, was not normal, the three taskers began to discuss what to do next.

The ponytail girl who first put forward this point of view fell into deep thought: "Why is the owner of the nightmare acting so normal in this nightmare?"

The man with glasses said, "Is there any difference between him and other nightmare masters?"

The three of them looked at each other, lost in thought at the same time, recalling Wu Shen's every activity from appearance to every activity in this nightmare...

Suddenly, the three of them said in unison: "He is sleeping!"

Yes, among all the nightmares they have experienced, Wu Shen is the only one, the owner of the nightmare who sleeps in the nightmare.

Now recalling the two encounters between them and Wu Shen, it was not they who took the initiative to provoke Wu Shen, but Wu Shen woke up by himself.

If they took the initiative to check on Wu Shen when he was asleep...would it make any difference?

"Even if you want to check his sleeping situation, you have to wait until the next restart." The man with glasses said unwillingly, "However, this time I finally managed to avoid the pursuit of the dolls. Is this the end? Not much more Have you tried it?"

But Gang Jing snorted and said, "I said a long time ago that I would wake Wu Shen up, but you still disagree. Now it's all right, you still have to listen to me."

The girl with the ponytail and the man with glasses silently glanced at him, and at the same time thought in their hearts, foolish people are blessed with foolishness.

They didn't pay any attention to the bar, and thought to themselves what to do in the current situation.

Yes, they have encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The dolls are trapped behind the locked gate on the first floor, unable to hunt them down. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they can actually go on more explorations, such as... Climb to the second floor?

They all looked at the window on the second floor of the doll shop in unison.

At this moment, the bored Ringo came sauntering over, probably taking a walk.

The three taskers looked at him blankly again, only feeling that this big boss who had always been calm as before really had a mysterious aura.

For Ringo, what do these nightmare dungeons really mean?

A little relaxation with nothing to do?Little exercise?

And for those taskers who are always in a state of tension, Ringo's leisurely appearance is really a bit of an eyesore.However, they had to use Ringo as an ultimate means to support this big boss.

After all, if it really doesn't work, you can take the initiative to provoke Lingo, let him do it impatiently, and finally reach a special ending.Better than getting stuck in a nightmare forever after achieving a bad ending.

To be able to enter a certain nightmare with Ringo, to be honest, is considered lucky.

Moreover, when Ringo was in a good mood, he could even help them out.

Like...now.

Ringo suddenly frowned and looked at them, and shouted, "Stay away!"

what?

Instinct drove the three taskers to squat down and move aside immediately, but it was too late.

At the same time, they heard the rattling of the glass, and cracks appeared on the glass door like spider webs.The dolls squeezed each other, pushed each other, and finally all the strength rushed to the most fragile glass.

In the next second, the huge impact caused the glass door on the first floor of the doll shop to explode directly, and the splashed glass shards and the dolls rushed out like cannonballs, hitting the three mortal missionaries who were trying to avoid it. .

The screams came instantly, but for a moment, everyone's eyes went dark.

They started the seventh nightmare.
