Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

The ponytail girl vaguely sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere.

In other words, she felt that the air seemed to be stagnant.And the root of everything lies in the man lying on his side.

She walked around in front of Wu Shen, then was startled suddenly, her eyes widened and she took two steps back, her lips trembling, unable to speak.

"what happened?"

Gang Jing didn't know why, and was worried about the situation of the ponytail girl, so he hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Wu Shen.

The next second, he yelled: "Fuck, why are you awake?!"

Everyone thought Wu Shen was asleep, but he was always awake.

Even, at this moment, he was staring straight at the ponytail girl and the gangster, with a strange smile on his lips.He just kept the original posture, still lying on his side on the bed.

After the initial panic, several taskers quickly calmed down.

Although Wu Shen's appearance is a bit weird, they are not the masters who haven't seen even weirder nightmares.The residents of these narrow buildings will become more strange and extreme after entering their own nightmares.

They even felt that Wu Shen's current appearance was the owner of a normal nightmare.It was a bit too normal to look like that before.

The ponytail girl took a deep breath, calmed down, and then asked boldly, "Mr. Wu?"

Wu Shen didn't respond.He still stared straight at the three people in front of him without blinking his eyes.

I don't know why, but at this time, Ponytail girl suddenly remembered a description in Wu Shen's diary.

He wrote at the time that some guests jokingly said that after his daughter disappeared, Wu Shen was also like a doll, stiff and stiff.And now, isn't Wu Shen lying here like a doll? !

The ponytail girl thought of those dolls chasing and killing them again, inexplicably, a chill came down her spine.

Gang Jing didn't think as much as she did. Seeing Wu Shen lying there without responding, he asked carelessly, "What should we do now? Why didn't he respond?"

The man with glasses said, "Maybe...there is no stimulus?"

"We met Wu Shen twice and woke up because we found his letter." Ponytail girl said, "Try again?"

"I really want to try it." The man with glasses turned around and was about to go out when he suddenly frowned, "Where's that doll?"

"what?"

"The doll in the red dress who said she wanted eyes! She's gone!"

The ponytail girl frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that she does have something to do with Wu Shen. Maybe Wu Shen made the doll himself after his daughter disappeared? It imitated her daughter's appearance... See Wusi people?"

The man with glasses frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it: "Maybe... that's it?"

Gang Jing didn't think too much, he was impatient, and strode out directly: "Then I'll go and get the letter from the next room!"

He went, and the man with glasses and the girl with ponytail immediately set their sights on Wu Shen.

Sure enough, after a while, Wu Shen's eyeballs moved suddenly.His expression was still very dull, and when he saw two strangers in the room, he just asked slowly: "Who are you...?"

"Is he awake or not?" The man with glasses couldn't help asking, "Why is he so creepy?"

The ponytail girl also frowned, and replied in a low voice, "It's hard to say."

She looked at Wu Shen again.

Wu Shen slowly sat up from the bed, his whole limbs and joints were very stiff.At this time, he was really like a doll, even slower than the dolls he made.

He sat on the bed, his limbs stretched out stiffly like a doll.He was about to stand up.

"Xiaochun." Ponytail girl said suddenly, "Wu Xiaochun, your daughter. She's missing."

Wu Shen froze there, he was stunned for a long time, and then said: "Yes... yes... Xiaochun... my daughter..."

His current reaction is also completely different from the previous one. The external sadness and despair disappeared, replaced by a deep daze and exhaustion, as if he had been forced to face this fact countless times, so he numbly admitted.

He said, "Xiaochun...is gone..."

The man with glasses looked at Wu Shen appreciatively, and he commented harshly: "To be honest, I really can't see that it is possible for him to attack his daughter."

The ponytail girl glanced at him, then nodded slowly: "Indeed. He seems to really love Xiaochun."

Wu Shen sat there in a daze, talking vaguely.His turbid eyes wandered around in such a turbid air, as if he could no longer distinguish reality from illusion, and didn't know what was real.

The next second, he suddenly stood up.He returned to his normal expression in an instant, but turned a blind eye to the girl with ponytail and the man with glasses, and walked out on his own.

The moment he walked out of the room, the entire nightmare scene was refreshed.The messy and dirty scene in the room was gone, replaced by what could be called a neat and clean arrangement and a clean as new floor.

The stench faintly permeating the air disappeared, and a burst of refreshing fragrance permeated the breath, which refreshed one's spirits.

In the room, the dirty-looking bed suddenly turned into a princess bed with a white carved wooden headboard.

The ponytail girl looked at the curtains of the room.The curtains, which were already yellow and moldy, have now turned back to white translucent gauze fabrics, falling gently on the floor along with the sunlight.

The man with glasses said, "The nightmare has changed."

Ponytail girl said affirmatively: "It seems that we have just triggered a special event."

She poked her head out of the window again to see the scene on the street.

The house was clean and bright, but outside the house was still a deserted street, only the bookstore next door was open.

Mawei girl said: "Only the doll shop has changed. This should be... going back to the past, right? It means that something may have triggered Wu Shen's memory, and made the nightmare a new scene."

She and the man with glasses looked at each other and said in unison: "The day Xiaochun disappeared."

This happens occasionally in nightmares.

A nightmare is a nightmare after all, and there are many uncertain and absurd things.For example, in this nightmare, they can only wander around in three scenes: deserted streets, bookstores and doll shops, but of course this cannot be the case in reality.

Sometimes, as the quester explores the nightmare, or stimulates the owner of the nightmare, the nightmare will change.There may be new explorable scene areas, new characters may appear, there may be...

Just like now, Wu Shen, the owner of the nightmare, recalled what happened in the past in his dream.

These rules are not very clear to the taskers.Because every nightmare is different, every resident of the narrow building has their own unique past and unique nightmares derived from it.

What will happen in the nightmare, different taskers will even have different experiences and experiences.

This kind of complicated situation, coupled with the fact that the taskers are always secretive about their experience in the nightmare, the rules of the nightmare have become various rumors that are difficult to distinguish, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

But if Xu Beijin were to say it, these rules were very clear to actors like them.

what?

It is to temporarily add or change the play.

Actors are actors who play in the script provided by the mastermind.There are heavy restraints on them, preventing them from doing actions that do not conform to the script.

But missionaries are not.

The missionaries are rampant and unscrupulous in the nightmare, and sometimes they will go out of the scope of the mastermind's script.

At this time, the main brain has to adapt to the situation and make adjustments to the established script.

And for the actors, this is also an opportunity.Because there may be some omissions or contradictions in the adjusted script, this is a good time for the actor to play freely and secretly provide clues to the tasker.

But this has nothing to do with Xu Beijin.

This kind of temporary addition is basically for the protagonist or an important supporting role.

He is a group performer?

I think too much, it is impossible to get the group to add drama.

At this time, because of the sudden change in the scene of the doll shop, the audience in the live broadcast room also let out a burst of exclamation.

"Wow! So sudden! The set is great!"

"I really want to try this game... Many puzzle games nowadays are too routine, and they are still the easy-chair detective mode of step-by-step investigations of murder scenes, suspects, witnesses, etc., which were played hundreds of years ago. It's up!"

"Boss, boss, that's because you are too big... For a rookie like me, I can't find a murderer in this puzzle game you mentioned [shivering]"

"Stop chatting, those players followed Wu Shen out!"

Xu Beijin also watched the pictures in the live broadcast room with relish.

In fact, at this time, he was eager to go out for a walk.

Because, at this time, it was displayed on the live broadcast interface that the three taskers and Wu Shen were all in the scene called "Wu Shen's Memories".This means that now that the doll shop is empty, he can go shopping.

pity……

He glanced at Lingo, who was sitting there like a door god, and had no choice but to give up.

Although he didn't know whether it would be considered a violation for the mastermind if the group performers walked out of their own activity area when they didn't need to perform the performance, but in the presence of taskers, the performers did behaviors that did not conform to the requirements in the nightmare. Action, that is obviously a violation!

Mastermind, really...

Xu Beijin sighed inwardly, staring absently at the screen in the live broadcast room, his thoughts gradually drifted away, his eyes became deep and dark.

Ringo suddenly turned to look at him.

He thought, Xu Beijin at this moment... makes him feel very powerful and unmatched.

Only Xu Bei could bring him this feeling.

However, Xu Beijin was unwilling to fight with him...

Ringo sighed silently, and continued to sit there in a daze with nothing to do.

In the bookstore, the two men were annoyed by each other's existence.

On the other side, the girl with ponytail and the man with glasses followed Wu Shen out of the room.Gang Jing also came out from the next room in a daze, empty-handed—he was still holding those letters just now, but as the nightmare scene changed, the letters suddenly disappeared.

The ponytail girl quickly explained the current situation to him, and he nodded, understanding, and then looked at Wu Shen.

As if they were invisible ghosts, Wu Shen didn't look at them at all, walked straight to the studio, sat down, and began to make dolls seriously.

That serious and focused look is worthy of his title as the owner of the doll shop.

The man with glasses went to the stairs to take a look.The first floor has also been turned into a bright and bright doll shop, which will obviously attract the attention of children.

He tried to go downstairs, but seemed to be blocked by an air wall, so he could only return helplessly, waiting for changes on Wu Shen's side.

After a while, when the three taskers were a little impatient, suddenly...

"father!"

A little girl's cry came from the first floor of the doll shop.

The voice was nothing special, as if something happened to the daughter, so she called her father.Not flustered, not scared, not happy, not surprised.

Wu Shen, who was still bowing his head to work, suddenly came back to his senses, stood up and wiped his hands, and then responded: "What's wrong with Xiaochun? Dad is coming soon."

He took off his overalls, closed the door of the studio, and walked towards the stairs, intending to go to the first floor of the doll shop to see what his daughter was up to.

Three ghost-like taskers also followed behind him.

At this moment, the bright and warm scene on the second floor of the doll shop suddenly went dark as if the electricity was cut off.When the light shone in faintly again, the three taskers had already returned to that dirty, dilapidated doll shop.

The ponytail girl said in amazement: "What's going on? The memory suddenly stopped?!"
