Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Wu Shen's words shocked everyone.

Wu Xiaochun touched the glass eyeballs in his eye sockets, and said blankly, "Dad... took my eyes?"

Wu Shen laughed loudly: "Xiao Chun, are you happy that Dad did this?"

Wu Xiaochun tilted his head ignorantly.

The ponytail girl finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Wu Shen directly: "Wu Shen, you killed your daughter and tortured her like this, are you still a father?!"

Wu Shen suddenly stopped laughing, his neck turned stiffly, and he turned to look at the ponytail girl.

"I do this, why...is it a kind of torture?" Wu Shen asked, "This is...for Xiaochun's good."

Gang Jing whispered, "What a madman."

It is rare for the man with glasses to agree with him.

The ponytail girl said: "You are the owner of the doll shop now. If you have the ability, let your master stand out, let Wu stretch out, and let him explain all this!" Then she said to the gangster, "Go get the doll in the study room. that letter."

Gang Jing was reminded and immediately rushed to the study.

The owner of the doll shop, who looked like a doll, stood there without saying a word.

He stared fixedly at Wu Xiaochun outside the door.

After another moment, he suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he looked at everyone blankly and asked, "Who are you...?"

The girl doll screamed and was about to run away, but was picked up by the gangster who came out of the study.

Wu Xiaochun worried and asked naively: "Will Daddy still cry?"

Gang Jing sneered: "He has the face to cry? If you are sick, get treated as soon as possible, don't kill your daughter and then sell it miserably."

The girl with ponytail and the man with glasses nodded at the same time, and then they looked at Wu Shen.

Wu Shen's expression changed a lot. He stood there blankly, looking at the girl's doll.After a long time, he burst into tears.

The ponytail girl said: "So you know."

Wu Shen shook his head violently: "No...I don't, I don't know..."

The ponytail girl said sharply: "What I'm saying is, you fucking know the existence of that personality!"

Wu Shen was taken aback, he raised his head in fear, then lowered it again.He cried for a long time before finally saying, "I know..."

"Then how dare you..."

"He just... he just... liked making dolls at first." Wu Shen took a deep breath, his eyes were bloodshot, "After Xiaochun was born, I didn't have the heart to run a doll shop. It just so happened that this personality was born, I think ...I think I have time to spend with Xiaochun."

"...and then you killed her."

Wu Shen sobbed in pain, he slumped on the ground, stunned for a long time, and suddenly let out a heart-piercing wail.

Wu Xiaochun stared blankly at him, and murmured, "Father..."

The man with glasses was unmoved, and asked directly: "Where are Xiaochun's eyes?"

He doesn't have a strong empathy ability like the ponytail girl, and he doesn't hate evil like a gangster.He is the most common type of tasker in the narrow building, with a bit of courage, a bit of IQ, a bit of compassion, and a bit of self-knowledge.

But, that's about it.

He will sigh for Wu Xiaochun's experience, and of course, he will pay more attention to the progress of the task at this moment.

He put all his eggs in one basket for this item card, and he didn't come to hear some sad stories!

Wu Shen was still crying.

The man with glasses said even more impatiently: "You took your daughter's eyes away, and you don't know where you put them? Don't tell me or only that sub-personality knows!"

Wu Shen suddenly raised his head to look at him, his red eyes widened, looking at him with eyes wide open.

The man with glasses was taken aback.

Wu Shen murmured, "I don't know...I don't know..."

Gang Jing hugged the girl doll, and couldn't help but yell at him: "Then you have a fart! Why don't you just surrender yourself and wait for the shooting?"

"I'd rather..." Wu Shen looked at Wu Xiaochun, tears streaming down his face, "I would also rather, that I die instead of, Xiaochun..."

Until now, he dare not say that Wu Xiaochun is dead.

It seems that once he said it, this thing really happened; and if he deceived himself now that he didn't know, then everything would still be in a state of peace.

But...but he really would.If his death can be exchanged for his Xiaochun...

Wu Shen collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, whimpering and wailing from his throat.He thought, Xiaochun is so cute, who can bear to do something to such a little girl?

It's him, it's him.It was him, the irresponsible father who turned his daughter into a doll.

He was crying like a dementia.

He said: "I would rather exchange my life for Xiaochun's..."

At this moment, the moment he said these words, the item card that had been well hidden in the glasses man's arms suddenly flashed in the air.

In the next second, the panel card named "Daughter Killed by Father" suddenly melted into a ball.The pattern on the card was originally a silhouette of a lively and lovely little girl, but at this moment, it suddenly changed into a pair of eyes.

Wu Xiaochun exclaimed, "My eyes!"

The missionaries were stunned.

The ponytail girl subconsciously blurted out: "So there is a pair of eyes sealed in this card!" She murmured, "No wonder, no wonder you can 'see' the existence of the panel."

The man with glasses stared blankly at the melting card, his heart was bleeding.

Wu Shen also looked at this card dully.

Those eyes stayed in the air and swirled lightly, but they didn't fly in Wu Xiaochun's direction, even though the girl doll was trying to reach out in the arms of Gang Jing.

Wu Shen suddenly laughed miserably: "I understand, I understand." He looked at Wu Xiaochun, choked up and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaochun. Don't forgive Dad. Dad is sorry for you."

"Father..." Wu Xiaochun tilted his head in confusion.

Wu Shen said to Gang Jing, "Cover Xiaochun's eyes."

Gang Jing frowned suspiciously, after that, he seemed to realize something, and did as he did, covering Wu Xiaochun's glass eyeballs.And the ponytail girl took a step forward, gently covering Wu Xiaochun's eyes floating in the air with her hands.

Wu Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.He whispered, "Xiaochun, Dad loves you..."

The next second, he took a deep breath and inserted his fingers into his eye sockets.He seemed to feel pain, but the pain confuses his brain, making him think, is this what Xiaochun felt when he died...?

Finally, when Wu Shen took out his eyes and collapsed on the ground losing his voice, Wu Xiaochun's eyes, which were gently held by the ponytail girl, flew towards Wu Xiaochun slowly.

Wu Shen's eyes, on the other hand, floated up, transformed into an item card again, and returned to the man with glasses.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and checked the status of this item card in his personal panel.

"Blade Name: A Father's Self-Salvation

"Card image: (a pair of teary eyes)

"Interpretation: The father who killed his daughter decided to sacrifice his life when he knew the truth. He will guard your life at the moment of your life and death, just like guarding his dead daughter.

"Number of uses: 2/2"

The man with glasses was stunned, and then he was ecstatic. He tried to hold back the joy, and his expression suddenly became very distorted.

This is actually a defensive card!

Defense cards, opposed to attack cards.It sounds like it's just defending against attacks and damage, but in fact, the defense card is free and dead!

That is to say, in a nightmare, you are already going to die, and the nightmare is about to restart, but if there is a defense card, you can avoid the death and restart this time.

If you encounter a situation where the ending is almost reached, this kind of defensive card will be even more valuable.

Defense card is an extremely rare type of prop card. Because of its powerful utility, it can be said to be very popular in the prop card trading market.

The man with glasses even found those teams that specialize in leading the boss to a true ending, and used this defense card in exchange for a chance that must be passed!

You know, such a team can be called a gathering of great gods.

It is said that Mu Jiashi was once a member of the team leading the boss, but later he left that team and looked for opportunities to go to higher floors by himself.

Afterwards, he got a clue about a nightmare from Xu Beijin, and successfully cleared the level directly.

Once upon a time, the man with glasses was one of the noobs who looked up to those big shots.But the arrival of this defensive card can be said to have completely changed his position in the narrow building.

He suppressed his surprise and put the card away safely.

The ponytail girl and the gangster didn't pay attention to the movement on their side. They stared at the girl's doll until the eyes fit perfectly into her sockets.

Immediately, the indistinguishable voice from the main brain rang in their ears at the same time.

"Congratulations on achieving the true ending of the nightmare. Please choose whether to go to a higher floor: Yes/No."

The three missionaries chose yes without hesitation.

Their figures disappeared immediately, Lin Po disappeared, Xu Beijin, the girl doll and Wu Shen also disappeared.

After that, this nightmare also slowly disappeared into the endless gray mist like a collapsing smoke.

Xu Beijin opened his eyes in the bookstore in Zhailou.

The bookstore in Zhailou has two floors in total, the first floor is a bookstore full of bookshelves and books, and the second floor is Xu Beijin's personal activity space.

At this time, Xu Bei was on the first floor, sitting on the recliner he was used to sitting on.On the side of the first floor, dim light came in through the windows.The bookstore was as quiet as ever, but the live broadcast room was extremely lively.

Xu Beijin suddenly felt a little funny, because, before going to Wu Shen's nightmare, what he thought was that he could fish again this time.However, what he gained in this nightmare seemed to completely change his life.

He looked towards the studio.

"Wow, I didn't expect it to end like this."

"Wouldn't it be that without this item card, it would never be possible to reach the true ending?"

"That's right...the relationship between the actor and the tasker is worth pondering. After all, Wu Shen said before that he was the one who tried to secretly send this item card to the tasker..."

"According to this, the two are actually helping each other?"

"But the player cannot reveal their identity. This is still quite challenging. What if some players get random characters and need to kill the tasker?"

"That's right...it sounds so difficult."

"I feel that Wu Shen is lucky to meet a group of missionaries who are a bit powerful; if he meets a fool, it will be over."

"But this nightmare, it feels very difficult."

"Yes, yes. Besides, if it wasn't for the panel card, and knowing that the doll is Wu Xiaochun, who would have thought that Wu Shen would do such a perverted thing?"

Seeing this barrage, Xu Beijin couldn't help but said, "Actually, the most critical turning point is to realize that all the bad things about the proprietress actually came from Wu Shen."

"what?"

"It seems... is it true?"

"Beibei is right! Once you discover the problems in those diaries, letters, and information obtained by Beibei, you will find that Wu Shen is clearly framing the proprietress!"

"What what? The reasoning boss and Beibei both said that, why didn't I see it?"

Xu Bei smiled and said, "We can review all the information we have gained from the nightmare.

"Including Wu Shen's diary, Wu Shen's correspondence with friends, the letter from the proprietress who was torn up by Wu Shen, and the letter from the proprietress placed in the counter drawer on the first floor. In addition, there are news from my side, I will not mention this for now.

"Our first impression of the proprietress came from Wu Shen's diary, which said that the proprietress was indifferent to her daughter's disappearance, and even said that her daughter had already had an accident and should not continue to look for it.

"Such a description will allow us to immediately determine that the proprietress is the first suspect.

"Afterwards, in Wu Shen's exchange of letters with his friends, this image was further deepened. Wu Shen's letter continued to strengthen the first impression the proprietress gave us before, and in the friend's letter, it was also mentioned that the proprietress is indeed a temper Hurry, this can be regarded as a kind of evidence.

"However, if you combine the two letters written by the proprietress, and think about the friend's letter, he actually disagrees with Wu Shen's statement, then the situation is completely different.

"The image of the proprietress is not what Wu Shen said. She beats and scolds her daughter frequently and doesn't care. This actually comes from the dirty water Wu Shen poured on the proprietress.

"The other thing is the information I got.

"The information I obtained also has an obvious characteristic, that is, part of it is known to me, while the other part is what Wu Shen told me.

"The simplest example is that I saw the lady boss carrying a bag of snacks home, and the lady boss said that she took a detour to buy it after get off work. This is my first-party information.

"But it was Wu Shen who told me that the proprietress was beating and scolding her daughter at home. So whether Wu Shen can be trusted directly determines the authenticity of this news.

"Looking at all the information, we can actually find that all the information about the proprietress comes from Wu Shen. And the proprietress herself never appeared in the nightmare.

"I think this may be the difficulty of this nightmare. If the information obtained is sorted out, especially the source, then the truth can be guessed very quickly.

"……This is my idea."

After Xu Beijin finished the long series of words, he instinctively added the last sentence, and then scratched his hair in embarrassment.

In fact, Xu Beijin was not used to expressing his own analysis and thinking in front of the audience.The narrow building is not a place suitable for socializing, and he is used to keeping everything in his heart.

However, this kind of introverted personality is not a good thing for live broadcasting.

When there were only four viewers, there were already a lot of barrage, hoping that the anchor would leave the bookstore and go for a walk.For the audience, of course they don't want to face an autistic anchor.

What I have to say is that part of the reason why these few viewers in the live broadcast room insist on watching this live broadcast is because this nightmare is really exciting, and the other part of the reason should be attributed to Xu Beijin's handsome faces.

Although he has dark circles under his eyes, even though he is always sleepy and expressionless, and even though he doesn't talk much during the live broadcast, as long as his face appears in the lower right corner of the live broadcast screen, the audience will not hesitate to sigh: They are as good as north. So handsome.

Therefore, after Xu Beijin showed his thinking ability for the first time, the audience excitedly sprinkled flowers, applauded, praised, and shouted six on the bullet screen. The enthusiastic appearance made Xu Beijin feel embarrassed.

He quickly thanked him.

"Hey, don't be humble, Beibei, it's really amazing!"

"I really didn't expect it at all... Beibei is really amazing!"

"I finally understand... But why did Wu Shen pour dirty water on the proprietress?"

The reasoning boss replied: "I guess so.

"Although Wu Shen didn't know that he killed his daughter, I think he felt a little bit. For example, the blood stains in the studio, the strange smell in the air, the new dolls that suddenly appeared, etc., are all very important to him. hint.

"The memory suddenly stopped before, probably because he didn't want to face this reality, but chose to forget this terrible fact.

"However, since he chose to forget, then there must be a clear object of suspicion for these clues in the doll shop. Naturally, he cast his suspicion on the person next to him.

"It can also be seen from some information that the relationship between Wu Shen and his wife is actually not very good. The proprietress will scold Wu Shen for being useless, and Wu Shen has always complained that after the birth of his daughter, his wife's temper became more and more irritable.

"Perhaps this is why he has been slandering his wife in diaries, letters, and even in chats with anchors.

"In addition, the pursuit of the doll in the nightmare may also be due to this reason. Wu Shen has forgotten about it, but there are still some traces in his subconscious. Therefore, in the nightmare, his fear of the doll and his own sub-personality, This corresponds to the pursuit and killing of dolls.

"At the end of the day, he did do something."

The reasoning leader let out a long sigh, and the audience sighed the same as Xu Beijin.

Xu Beijin suddenly thought, as an actor, how does Wu Shen view this nightmare and the owner of the nightmare he plays?

But presumably, they will never meet again in the future.Such doubts may never be answered.

Xu Bei tried to restrain his emotions, chatted with the audience for a few more words, promised to continue the broadcast next time, and then ended the first live broadcast.

The first live broadcast lasted for several hours, and Xu Beijin didn't know it.

However, on his anchor interface, there are four more followers.He stared at the number, then turned off the live broadcast interface, and sat on the chair in silence for a while.

The lively barrage on the live broadcast screen suddenly faded away, and the loneliness and gloom belonging to the narrow building enveloped him again.He yawned sleepily, and leaned on the table wearily for a while.

After a while, he came back to his senses, stood up, took a coat and put it on, and then planned to go for a walk outside the bookstore.

Walking out of the door of the bookstore, he came to a dilapidated and deserted corridor.It used to be crowded with questers who wanted to go to his nightmare, but this time there was no one there.

The gate of Wu Shen's doll shop was actually on the opposite side of the corridor, although it is now vacant.They are door to door.

But strictly speaking, bookstores and doll shops are not next to each other.These so-called doors are not so much doors in the actual sense, it is more appropriate to say that they are portals.

Open the door, there is a cloud of fog in front of you.And take another step forward, and then you can really come to their respective residences.The actual location of these residences is not directly connected with the door, and it is completely unknown where they are.

This is not only the case for the houses of the residents of the narrow buildings, but also for the houses of the outsiders.

This is true wherever there is a door.

Why make the door the same form as the portal?

No one in the narrow building knew why.

In any case, this has at least one advantage, that is, when missionaries go to higher floors, their rooms will also go with them, so they don't have to worry about losing all their belongings.

In the narrow building, there are roads, alleys, corridors, secret passages, etc. extending in all directions, spreading out on every floor like dense mesh lines.And at the end or both sides of these roads, there are these portals.

Only the owner of the house can use these portals to enter his house.But at night, outsiders can also use these doors, but not into the house, but directly into the nightmare of the corresponding residents.

Of course, the owner of the house can also set the access authority by himself.

Wu Shen threw the prop card in the doll shop before, and was picked up by the man with glasses. Maybe Wu Shen deliberately set the entry authority to "everyone can enter" to lure some outsiders to try to enter the door, and then found That item card.

There are always some outsiders, eager to try any door in the narrow building.

They don't know if the door will shut them out, or what lies behind it.But these crazy and repressed outsiders have never lacked the ambition to take risks.

Xu Beijin walked out of the corridor outside his house, then turned a few turns, and walked onto a wider road.

He occasionally heard the communication of outsiders, and knew that they called the end of this road the "initial point", because after each nightmare, if he failed to go to a higher floor, he would return to the initial point.

So the road linking the initial point is called the initial avenue.

The original avenue is a circular road around the bottom of the narrow building, which connects almost every other road in the narrow building, and it is a veritable "avenue".

Of course, even though it is an avenue, it is actually wider than the ordinary corridors in buildings.On the side of the original avenue are erected walls, with occasional glass showing light.

But if you look through the window, you can only see endless gray mist.If you look up, you will see a narrow building with a height that does not reach the top.

What is the narrow building like?

It was a tall, narrow building surrounded by thick fog.No one knows what lies beyond the mist.

It is said that some missionaries once went to explore in the dense fog, but they never returned.After that, no one dared to be curious about these off-white mist anymore.

The world outside the narrow building is unknown, and the higher floors of the narrow building are also unknown.

Of course, there are also many taskers who have gone to higher levels, and some of them have regressed back to the bottom level because of multiple bad endings in a row.But from what they revealed, the upper floors of the narrow building seem to be almost the same as the bottom floors.

The real top floor, which no one seems to have ever been to.

Xu Beijin walked slowly along the initial avenue.Occasionally outsiders or residents passed by him, but they didn't pay attention to this expressionless man walking slowly.

There are countless weird people in the narrow building, so what is Xu Beijin like?

After walking for a while, he stopped suddenly, and heard arguing coming from the alley on the left, which seemed to be quite fierce.He only hesitated for a moment, then the voice suddenly disappeared.

He looked over in confusion, and happened to hear a man's indifferent voice: "Don't block the way at my door."

this sound...

Ringo?

Xu Beijin was extremely surprised, thinking, what's going on?Those quest players played the true ending, so Ringo should go to a higher floor with him?Why is it still on the ground floor of the narrow building?

He knew that there were rumors in the group of taskers before that Lin Biao's IQ was not good, so he still couldn't play the real ending and couldn't go to higher floors.Xu Bei has no idea what Lin Po's IQ is, but he can see the real ending with his own eyes.

So... why?

He didn't have time to think more, those who were arguing at the door of Ringo's room escaped and escaped.

One of them said: "Damn it, why is that monster Ringo here! I clearly saw that little boy running this way...Damn it! Am I blind?"

"Yes, you're blind. Not only are you fucking blind, you're also out of your mind. I've said it before, you can trick him into telling the truth about his nightmares by thinking he's a child, completely It's whimsical!" Another person said impatiently, "You should be sober!"

The third person did not participate in the quarrel at all, but murmured to himself: "Why does that little boy keep chanting a string of numbers...?"

"Damn it, third child, don't think about it, hurry up and see where that little kid has gone. I can't find where the portal of his home is, how can we enter his nightmare."

All three of them were wearing tattered T-shirts and greasy hair. They probably didn't pay much attention to personal hygiene. Their expressions were anxious and urgent, obviously very concerned about the little boy's whereabouts.

While talking, they completely ignored Xu Beijin's existence and ran away on their own.

Xu Beijin is also used to it.He is a resident of the narrow building. In the eyes of these outsiders, if they are not looking for clues to the nightmare, then the residents of the narrow building can be completely ignored.

As for the little boy they were talking about, Xu Beijin had never heard of it.

The ground floor of the narrow building is large.Although it is only the bottom floor, they don't know how many floors there are in total, because all the humans who have never gone to higher floors or fell from higher floors are housed here.

Sometimes, somewhere in the corner of the ground floor, you may find a flight of stairs, which may lead upstairs or downstairs.Then you rush in ecstatically...then the people inside tell you that this is also the bottom floor of the narrow building.

I don't know how many such stairs there are, so I don't know how many areas there are on the ground floor of the narrow building.

From the tone of these three people, they came here after chasing the little boy, and they don't know which area they really came from.

Xu Beijin didn't even know the area he was in, let alone other areas.

Before that, he knew Wu Shen best.Oh, by the way, now he knows that the portal of Ringo's house is actually not far from his bookstore.

It may be a little distance to walk from the original avenue; but if you go from the corridor outside the bookstore, you may just turn a corner.

Such a short distance, Xu Beijin never knew before...

He blinked, turned around and left without hesitation.

To be a human being is to have self-knowledge, to be flexible, to be cautious...

Xu Bei walked away as quickly as possible.

He didn't know at all, when Ringo came out, he just stood there, squinting his eyes and looking at his back, humming silently.

It seems that bending and stretching is completely useless.

Xu Bei returned to the bookstore as if he had fled, heaved a sigh of relief, and decided not to go out for the next few days.

Anyway, there are enough drinks at home, and the steady stream of books in the bookstore is enough for him to read.

A few days later, Xu Bei sat in a chair in a daze as usual.He was holding a book in his hand, but he hadn't turned the pages for a long time.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and his consciousness seemed to be immersed in a deeper and mysterious area.He slowly closed his eyes and relaxed, knowing that he was going to work again.

The time and place to go to work are arranged by the mastermind, and he will not be notified in advance, nor will he choose it himself, unless it is his own nightmare.

In the next second, the light in front of his eyes brightened.He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and looked around.

The place at this moment is not the dilapidated small bookstore in the deserted street in Wu Shen's nightmare.Now he is in the service area of ​​a highway, and his identity is still the owner of the bookstore.

He didn't know anything about this nightmare, and the mastermind didn't give any hint of information.

It seemed that in this nightmare, all he needed was to be a backdrop for the extras.This is a situation he is very familiar with.Just like the previous nightmare, knowing a lot of information and communicating with the taskers is actually not a situation that a group performer often faces.

There is no one in the store now, and the service area outside is also empty, and the mission workers don't know where they are.

Xu Beijin stretched in a relaxed way, and then suddenly remembered that he had promised the audience to start a live broadcast.

He called out the live broadcast system and started the live broadcast.

Xu Beijin was not surprised that no audience came in immediately.But he himself can be a spectator, no problem at all.

He looked at the viewing angle settings on the live broadcast interface, there were several different scenes and the names of the taskers—wait a minute, Ringo?

Xu Beijin was stunned.

What kind of luck is he... It's okay to meet Ringo in the narrow building last time, but this time he can also meet Ringo in the nightmare?

Xu Beijin sighed with a headache for a while, and couldn't help thinking about it, although Lin Po didn't know why he hadn't left the bottom floor of the narrow building, but he should have given up his intention to fight with him...?

Maybe.

……must!

Xu Beijin thought about it in his heart, and chose a scene to watch at random.

"Count the numbers!"

A rough man's voice suddenly exploded in his ears.
