Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

He wasn't the only one who noticed the problem with the door. The only woman present also quietly approached, pulled the doorknob with her hand, and then took a light breath.

Mu Jiashi glanced at the female mission worker.

She has a good appearance, especially impressive, is her blue hair.This feature made Mu Jiashi startled, and then subconsciously blurted out in surprise: "You are..."

The green-haired woman nodded and said softly, "Sorry, I hope you can hide my identity."

Mu Jiashi nodded.

He knew the blue-haired woman.Her name is Ding Yi.

This is a very famous daily necessities merchant on the bottom floor of the narrow building, nicknamed "Billionaire".

Mu Jiashi knew her because a long time ago, when he was still managing the boss, a customer was introduced by Ding Yi.Although he didn't have much contact, he was deeply impressed by this blue-haired woman at that time.

Cyan hair is rare, and Mu Jiashi once heard some rumors that Ding Yi's hair color was originally black, but because of a special item card, it turned into this hazy cyan color.

But... an item card?

In addition to transformation cards or fusion cards, what item cards can directly affect a person's appearance?But if it's a transformation card or a fusion card, the duration would be too long.

Although curious, it is impossible for Mu Jiashi to ask Ding Yi directly.

Apart from the appearance, in the final analysis, it may be because Ding Yi's personality and identity are really different.She is obviously a merchant of daily necessities, but she is very introverted and reticent in her daily life.It's hard to imagine how on earth she became a businessman.

But... Later, Mu Jiashi thought again, maybe it was only because Ding Yi could get to know more residents of the narrow building?

The supply of all daily necessities merchants comes from the residents of the narrow building.As outsiders of the narrow building, the taskers' friendship with the residents of the narrow building directly determines the quality of life they can have.

For merchants of daily necessities, friendship with residents of narrow buildings is even more important.

Most of the taskers, just like the three men a few days ago, would ignore the residents of the narrow building even if they encountered them.

But daily necessities merchants like Ding Yi, or some other taskers with special identities, they need to deal with the residents of the narrow building.

Although the background color of the narrow building is still endless gray fog and black nightmare, these special occupations and identities still add some bright colors to the daytime life of the narrow building.

The conversation between Mu Jiashi and Ding Yi, as well as their contest with the doorknob, lasted only for a moment, and no one paid attention...except for Lingo.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people strangely.

Mysterious... What is the identity of that woman?

Lingo was curious for a second, then looked away bored.As the uncrowned king of Zhailou, Lingo has never been interested in many things.

Many wondered if he was still alone after all.Except for the occasional sight of him leaving the house, wandering around, or participating in nightmares, he is almost transparent.

However, he does have a force value that others envy.

Some missionaries very much hope to use his force value as a boost, but they have never been able to match Ringo's brain circuit.Generally speaking, Ringo can't be said to be a particularly bad-tempered person, and sometimes he doesn't even bother to be bothered by others who provoke him.

However, Ringo, who seems to have a good temper and has a baby face, sometimes suddenly goes crazy and becomes a downright mad dog.

And when he goes crazy, at least so far, no one can stop him.

Those who have the same nightmare as Ringo generally respect and fear him.

But Ringo himself didn't care much.He leaned against the wall, hearing the quarrel of the three men.He thought, how could this group of taskers be so...stupid?

Even he knows that most of the nightmares this time require cooperation—no, all nightmares basically require the cooperation of the taskers, it's nothing more than the degree of cooperation.

Now, they are actually arguing?

Ringo felt a little annoyed.

It has to be said that he actually used nightmares as a sharp tool to pass the time.That being the case, the performance of these taskers in the nightmare is naturally part of it.He regards these nightmares as novels, or movies and TV series that he enjoys.

Now, he felt that a group of clumsy actors were making ugly appearances in front of him.

From this perspective, the current Ringo should have a common language with the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Slowly make a question mark."

"What are they doing? What are they doing??"

"...This may be a human being."

"No, wait, where is the murderer in black? Why is it gone?"

At this moment, the second brother also said coldly and impatiently: "You all shut up the fuck!"

The selfish ghost, the dead ghost, and the boss looked at him at the same time.The latter shut up unwillingly, while the former two wanted to continue talking, while the second elder brother kicked one by one to the wall.

The force used is not great, and the mastermind is not enough to prohibit this kind of behavior.However, the meaning of deterrence is full.

Before the dead ghost had time to say anything, the selfish ghost had already blushed, struggling to stand up from the ground, and was about to yell.

"I advise you to be sober." The second brother snorted coldly, "Look at what's going on now."

"What's the situation?" The selfish ghost retorted unwillingly, "It's a safe situation!"

The second brother sneered: "Yeah - so, you just said, where is the man in black who chased and killed you?"

The selfish man was at a loss for words for a while, and at this moment, he finally realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the corridor, he hesitated, and then shut up.

The third child said worriedly: "Now I can't go back to the bedroom." He also observed the problem with the bedroom door, "This means that we may be trapped in this round of nightmares."

"Trapped?"

The third child said, "We... we can go to the end of the corridor and have a look. I suspect... we can't get out."

After 1 minute, several people walked to the end of the corridor.The door that was supposed to connect to the open space of the parking lot outside suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a wall in front of them.

The boss's eyes almost popped out: "Damn, this means, we can only wait to die?!"

"It's not waiting to die." Although the second brother doesn't have the brains of the third brother, he understands one thing, "The man in black they said went to nowhere, which means-we can't even wait to die arrive."

Boss: "..."

He kicked the wall resentfully.

The selfish ghost sneered and said, "Who told you to escape, if you don't escape..."

The second elder brother turned to look at him, and said coldly, "Well, if you say one more bb, you'll die and let the nightmare restart, how about it?"

The selfish ghost retorted unconvinced: "I'm not the only one talking!"

The boss kicked him directly.

The selfish fell down howling.

The second brother glanced at him approvingly: "Well done."

Although the boss is not a good person, he is grumpy and stupid, but at least he is obedient.

"That..." The third child suddenly asked, "You just said that there was a man in black chasing you... So, is he holding a knife?"

While gloating at the selfish ghost, the dead ghost replied, "Yes, machete."

The third child's eyes lit up, and he murmured, "Machete...the man who hacked us in the bedroom just now also used a knife..."

Only Mu Jiashi followed his train of thought in an instant: "The man in black just now disappeared suddenly while chasing us down."

He and the third child looked at each other and said in unison: "So he can only appear in one scene."

The second brother half understood, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything I can use here?"

"If he can only appear in one scene, we can cooperate." Mu Jiashi said naturally, "According to what you just said, the man in black will only appear in the bedroom for 1 minute, which means that we only need to delay Stay with the man in black for 1 minute, then the bedroom is safe and you can try more numbers."

After he finished speaking in one breath, he was suddenly taken aback. Facing the eyes of everyone looking at him, he smiled coyly: "No, don't listen to me. I'm just a waste, a loser..." He sighed faintly .

The third child and Ding Yi looked at him at the same time, their eyes were very strange.

The two of them were probably the only two people present who could understand the value of Mu Jiashi's words.

Because from Mu Jiashi’s words, it can be seen that Mu Jiashi’s concept is very team-oriented.

In the nightmare of the narrow building, as long as one person gets the true ending, he can lead other quest players to a higher floor.

Therefore, in theory, as long as a nightmare tasker is selfless and united enough, the true ending is not an unattainable dream.

For example, in the current nightmare, if they do what Mu Jiashi said, the group of four in the corridor keeps dragging the man in black to prevent him from attacking the group of four in the bedroom, then the group of four in the bedroom can ignore the man in black Attack, report the number all the way, no matter how many times you try, you can always get the correct answer smoothly.

In this way, they have at least one key piece of information in this nightmare.

The question, though, is, are the Corridor Four really willing to do this?Mu Jiashi, who proposed this plan, and Lingo, who was already overwhelmed by force, might be willing. What about selfish ghosts and dead ghosts?

Almost at the same time that Mu Jiashi proposed this plan, the selfish ghost immediately jumped up from the ground and retorted loudly: "Are you kidding me?! Want me to hold back that man in black? Are you crazy! Don't you want to be so selfish! You are the Holy Mother, you are willing to do this, but don't pull me!"

Faced with such accusations, Mu Jiashi remained silent.

The third child and Ding Yi hesitated to speak, and in the end, the two introverted people still couldn't say anything.

The second elder brother didn't have so many worries, he snapped his fingers and said, "So, as expected, you should die."

The face of the selfish ghost suddenly changed. He yelled insults at everyone present and looked at them with hatred. He said, "Go to hell? I go to die? You bunch of selfish ghosts!"

The boss rolled his eyes, wanting to kick him again.He suddenly felt tired.

Why did he quarrel with this kind of person for so long just now?It must be too boring, or want to resolve the depression and fear of being killed by men in black in the dark bedroom just now.

The scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

This round of nightmare was stuck on the corridor, but how to start the next round of nightmare?

And... theoretically speaking, it is impossible for the mastermind to give a dead end?

The eight taskers on the corridor fell into silence. At this time, Xu Beijin had already led the audience in the live broadcast room, left the bookstore where he was, and started shopping in the service area.

He originally wanted to see what was happening on the tasker's side again, but the audience kept teasing him on the bullet screen, so Xu Beijin was logically moved.

The service area is actually quite lively, with several small restaurants, supermarkets, canteens and so on.The tasker is not there, and the actors are also conscientiously continuing their work.

The appearance of Xu Beijin caused several actors to look at him strangely, but they ignored him.Many cosplayers are already used to this kind of life, maybe they will think that Xu Beijin is still a tasker.

In a sense, many cosplayers have become real NPCs.

Xu Beijin took a deep breath and didn't pay attention to those actors.After walking around the service area and getting a general idea of ​​the layout, he went straight to the supermarket.

"Welcome... Ah, it's you." Behind the cashier, the young man suddenly smiled, "So, are you planning to join our battle to defeat NE?"

Xu Beijin shook his head.

At this time, the audience was typing out what they wanted to know on the barrage, Xu Bei glanced at the barrage, and followed the audience's thinking, and changed the topic to this nightmare.

"I'm just curious what the truth of this nightmare looks like."

The young man's eyes lit up: "You are so curious."

Xu Beijin couldn't help sighing, thinking, is it possible that this young man is going to start talking about him again... a big battle to defeat NE?

He could understand what the young man meant, because most of the cosplayers were no longer interested in nightmares.Their lives are joyless and muddled, just like real NCPs, just following a fixed script and carrying out their lives day after day.

That may not be called life anymore.

Because of this, it is rare for an actor like Xu Beijin to actively explore in the nightmare, curious about the truth of the nightmare.

Of course, that's also because he obtained a live broadcast system, which allows him to remotely watch the actions of other taskers, so he will naturally become interested in nightmares.His stagnant life has been changed.

The young man shrugged, and looked at Xu Beijin with a surprised look.He turned back to the topic and said, "I'm just a supporting role... The information I have obtained is not a lot."

Xu Beijin nodded and said, "I'm just a group performer."

"Actor?" The young man glanced at him, "I thought you were something..."

"Rebel?"

The young man couldn't help laughing, he nodded: "Well, I think so."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He scowled.

"Look, look, just like you are now, it makes people think that you are a big villain." The young man laughed, "Besides, the extras are not necessarily unknown. Many extras are indeed background boards , but in some movies, the characters played in friendship are the real soul characters."

Xu Beijin couldn't help being startled: "Is the movie...?"

He was in a daze for a moment, and his memory seemed to return to the past in an instant, the days before he came to the narrow building.For many people, that really seems like a lifetime away.

But the young man talked about it casually, as if it was an ordinary topic.

The young man asked sharply, "You want to talk about the Narrow Building?"

Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

The young man thought for a while, and patted Xu Beijin on the shoulder: "Be optimistic, brother." He looked at the thick dark circles on Xu Beijin's face, and couldn't help asking, "You haven't been insomnia for a long time? Bar?"

Xu Beijin looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"On the plus side, we're actually just experiencing a second life." The young man said with a smile, "But on the downside, since it's a second life, the pressure has become a little bit greater."

Xu Bei couldn't help but smiled: "You are very optimistic."

The young man shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not optimistic, I can't live in the narrow building at all." He changed his voice and said, "By the way, about this nightmare..."

Xu Beijin suddenly came back to his senses, only then did he realize that the topic just now had gone completely off course.

He glanced at the live broadcast room and found that there was not much doubt on the barrage.The audience probably thought that their conversation just now was just a complaint from two unfortunate players who became cosplayers to the game company and the mastermind.

Xu Beijin's eyes were slightly deep, and his thoughts couldn't help but wander.When he came back to his senses, the young man in front of him just leaned over to take a bag of fudge from the shelf on one side, and handed it to him.

Xu Beijin took it in a daze.

The young man smiled mysteriously: "It would be too boring to tell you the truth directly. In fact, there are relevant clues in your bookstore. Presumably the taskers will also go to your bookstore in the future." He Pointing to the fudge in Xu Beijin's hand again, "Take this as an apology. Although you can't take out the things in the nightmare, it tastes good."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He hesitated for a moment, looked at the live broadcast room again, and then said, "Okay." He added, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The young man said, "I don't want to either. I lost another companion."

At that moment, a look of almost sadness flashed in his eyes.

They were silent for a moment at the same time.

The young man said again: "Ah, my name... I am Dai Wu."

"Xu Beijin."

Dai Wu nodded, and said with a smile: "So it's you. I should have thought of your dark circles..."

Xu Beijin nodded in embarrassment.

Dai Wu said: "You are really a harmless person..."

Xu Bei thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I'm not." His eyes became dark, and the pale man with dark circles on his face said calmly, "It's just that I don't care about some things."

Dai Wu was taken aback.

At this moment, it was hard to say how many complicated thoughts passed through his heart.

He was even thinking, maybe he didn't know people clearly?Maybe Xu Beijin is really a very scary person?After all, this ability to change your face when you say it...

Xu Beijin suddenly smiled: "...So, it's actually quite scary, right?"

Dai Wu: "..."

He said angrily, "Hey, you bastard..."

Xu Beijin smiled and raised the fudge in his hand to Dai Wu, then left the supermarket.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was amazed.

"Wow, Beibei is quite skinny."

"It should be said that only we Bei can use this method to skin it."

"Hahahaha, the face of the little brother on the other side changed."

"Hey, I didn't get any useful information..."

"The professionalism of the reasoning boss shocked me."

"Look at the small window! Those missionaries seem to be planning to take action!"

During the time when Xu Beijin left the bookstore, the picture on the other side of the corridor was reduced to a small window, which was placed in the lower right corner of the picture in the live broadcast room.

In fact, those missionaries have not been idle, and have been trying to break the situation.

The entire corridor is actually more like a special scene that only exists in a dream.Even though the window was open, it was blocked by an air wall.Obviously the place near the parking lot is brightly lit, but the closer you get to the depths, the darker and darker the surrounding area becomes.

They checked every door and window and every corner, and the final result was-nowhere to go.

The boss said discouragedly: "Really, is there a bug in the mastermind? Is this really a dead end?"

The second brother sneered and said, "Have you ever heard of any nightmares that trap missionaries to death? Except those nightmares of eternal collapse..." He paused, "There must be a way to break the game, but we haven't found it yet. .”

It should be fortunate that when he said this, the source of the audio in the live broadcast room was not from their side, otherwise, at this time, the audience in the live broadcast room should be wondering, what is the "nightmare of eternal collapse"?

At this time, the third child suddenly said hesitantly, "Did you hear any sound?"

"what?"

The missionaries looked at each other and fell silent.On the long corridor, a strange sound suddenly poured into their eardrums from far to near.

The second brother frowned and listened for a while, then said, "It's that bedroom."

They looked at each other, acted in unison, and walked quietly towards the bedroom.

What kind of sound did they hear...?

It was a painful, shrill woman's scream, mixed with weeping and wailing, and thud-thump, thump, thump.The sound of chopping meat.

The footsteps of the taskers gradually became slow and hesitant, and they felt fear.It was as if the sound of chopping meat was chopping on their backs.

The third child said as if in a dream: "That man is holding... a machete..."

He suddenly remembered that in the previous round of nightmares, he had heard a woman crying in a trance.He thought it was Ding Yi's cry, but now...it doesn't seem to be?

In that dark room, it seemed that another bloody killing was taking place.They were so close at hand, but they didn't notice it at all.

"What happened in the room?" The dead ghost couldn't help asking, "Who is he... killing?"

At this time, they stood quietly in front of the door.Inside the door, the woman's wailing has disappeared, and the original silence has returned; outside the door, the taskers are hesitant, in a dilemma.

Mu Jiashi said softly: "Perhaps... this has something to do with the truth of this nightmare. Even if the tasker disappears, the nightmare continues..."

He seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, the man in black with a machete suddenly broke out from the bedroom, and the tip of the knife was even dripping with bright red blood!
