Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

"You can't believe what we found!"

As soon as he walked in, the boss yelled loudly, his voice was full of elation and complacency, probably because he had discovered some serious information.

But the second brother immediately noticed the gloomy atmosphere among the mission workers at the central flower bed, and the little boy squatting on the ground sobbing softly.

That was the little boy they had been chasing and looking for before.

The boss also looked over, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, isn't this the little brat?"

Mu Jiashi keenly sensed something from his words, but he hesitated for a moment and didn't ask.

The second brother glared at the boss, and then said frankly to Mu Jiashi: "We met this little boy in the narrow building before. But..." He shrugged, "I didn't ask any important information. "

Mu Jiashi nodded and didn't bother about this matter.He turned to ask, "What did you find?"

"Oh, it was the child's father who killed his mother." The boss said carelessly, "There is a TV over there at the gas station, and this news is broadcast on the news, and a arrest warrant has been issued."

The second brother added: "However, the image on the wanted notice is a middle-aged man, not the man in black we are used to."

Mu Jiashi murmured, "This is very strange..."

Yes, it's weird.

In fact, at this moment, he also realized a problem.

Why does the little boy's murderer father appear as a masked man in black instead of his father in his nightmare?

Is it because the little boy was influenced by the film and television drama, nailing the image of his father into an abstract image of a murderous maniac, or because, after witnessing the scene of his mother being killed, the little boy was terrified and wanted to forget The brutal image of his father at that time?

The latter sounds more reasonable, but now there is a wanted warrant in the nightmare, and the real image of the little boy's father appears.

After all, the nightmare was derived from the memory of the owner of the nightmare, which means that the little boy has not forgotten the image of his father...

Or is it subconscious?

Mu Jiashi had a headache.

They seem to know a lot, but they don't have the slightest clue about the ending of the nightmare.Also, where is the man in black now?They don't know either.

Perhaps, they can also ask for some information from the man in black, even though he is a murderer.

The third child reminded: "Let's go to the supermarket first."

Mu Jiashi recovered and nodded.

Ding Yi coaxed the little boy to stop crying, and took the little boy's hand and walked to the supermarket together.

The eldest brother and the second brother followed behind them.

The selfish ghost's face was full of unwillingness.He was obviously the one who brought the little boy here, but at this moment, those missionaries snatched his "trophy".

The eyes of the dead ghost wandered back and forth in the direction of these taskers, selfish ghosts and supermarkets.He was very nervous and restless.It was obviously a cooperation plan proposed by the selfish ghost, but in the end, everyone ignored the existence of him as a dead ghost.

It's as if...he's really just a scapegoat.

Unwillingness and anger rose in the heart of the dead ghost.Some of these emotions rushed to the task-takers, some to the selfish ghost, and some to himself.

The two fell behind, and the selfish ghost suddenly said to the dead ghost: "Have you repented?"

Surprised for the dead ghost, panicked for a while.

The selfish man sneered and said, "I don't care if you regret it or not. We have more information. I don't believe it..."

There was madness and viciousness in his eyes, which made the dead ghost tremble with fear.

The dead ghost suddenly thought, how could he be willing to cooperate with this man?He is clearly a lunatic... an uncontrollable factor.

In the heart of a selfish ghost, perhaps his own interests are the most important... No, not only interests, any person and behavior that goes against his will will be subject to his resentment and ridicule, as if he is the only one in the world who is right of.

The dead ghost feels more and more that his cooperation with this guy is a wrong choice, but unfortunately there is no way to turn back now.

I just hope that the information from the mouth of the selfish ghost is really useful.

Feeling very annoyed for the dead ghost, he simply quickened his pace and got rid of the selfish ghost.

The conversation and interaction between the two of them was not heard by the mission workers walking in front, but the audience in the live broadcast room had a panoramic view.

They couldn't help sighing: "Oh, how can this person have both ends."

"The spokesperson of the grass on the wall."

"I laughed, thank you."

"He can neither please one party nor get rid of the other party."

"No, in the eyes of other taskers, he has already been labeled as untrustworthy. So even if he wants to bridge the cracks caused by the previous deception, it is probably useless."

"I'm even more curious about what information the other guy has? Why is he still so confident now?"

"I kind of believe Beibei's conjecture... If it was just the last round of nightmares where he got some information from the cashier, he wouldn't be so confident, right? I really think he's had this nightmare before."

"Me too."

"I really want to know what they know..."

"Now these missionaries are going to the supermarket again. I wonder if they can ask for some new things."

"Hey, that's..."

The taskers, at the entrance of the supermarket, met Lingo who was pushing a shopping cart out.The shopping cart is full of drinks of various colors, each of which seems to be the same, piled up quite high.

Ringo pushed the shopping cart out expressionlessly, while the taskers wanted to enter the supermarket with nervous faces.

The scene seemed very embarrassing for a while.

The boss was the first to blurt out a sentence: "Boss, are you shopping?"

The taskers were in a trance for a while, feeling as if they were not in the nightmare of the narrow building, but in some real-world supermarket. The scene was very lively, and someone was pushing a shopping cart, enjoying themselves.

Mu Jiashi looked at Ringo in shock, and then at the drinks in the other party's shopping cart, thinking for a while.

Ringo shook his head: "It's not shopping." He pointed to the supermarket, "No money."

Taskers: "..."

Audiences in the live broadcast room: "..."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He took a deep breath.

After a moment of chaos, the barrage began to laugh.

"Hahahaha, this is for Beibei! I knew it!"

"My mother, Little Apple really has some plans for my North."

"Is this a horror game live broadcast? Did I go to the wrong area??"

"I laughed so hard that my mother couldn't help asking what funny variety show I was watching."

"...Thinking about the good, such a boss with a bug-level force value, at least has no malice towards Beibei."

"Well, missionaries should think so too."

After a brief embarrassment, the taskers continued to walk to the supermarket, and Ringo continued to do his own thing.

He calmly pushed the shopping cart into the bookstore.

Xu Beijin looked up at him, and for a moment, he wondered incomprehensibly, what exactly is Ringo trying to do?

Do you need to spend so much just to fight him?

... Fortunately, he at least delayed this matter until after Ringo went to his house as a guest.

Xu Beijin just watched Lingo silently until Lingo pushed the shopping cart in front of him.Ringo pointed to the shopping cart and said very simply: "Here."

Xu Beijin stood up and was silent for a moment, suddenly he didn't want to argue with Lingo anymore."There are some I don't drink," he said.

Lingo looked at him in shock, which meant to say: Are you picky?

He asked, "So which flavor do you like?" He asked with all his heart, "I will only give you the ones you like in the future."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He kind of wanted to laugh.

It's just... I was amused by Ringo's behavior.

He finally realized so clearly that Ringo's world is very simple, so simple...for him to understand at a glance.

His purpose is clear, his actions are clear, and his words are clear.He was as calm as if he didn't need to lie to the world at all.He... He and Xu Beijin are two opposite extremes.

Xu Beijin was in a daze.

Seeing that he didn't answer the question immediately, Ringo frowned, and casually picked up a can of drink from the shopping cart.He took a closer look—peach soda?

Didn't drink at all.

Maybe Xu Bei would like it?

Ringo asked, "This one, do you like it?"

Xu Bei regained his concentration, glanced at it, and replied: "No, the taste of this brand is very sweet." He added, "But sometimes I drink it, if I'm in a bad mood."

Lin Poping said flatly: "Okay, I remember." He picked up another bottle, "What about this one?"

"I don't like it." Xu Bei tried to imitate Ringo's frank and straightforward tone, "It's hard to drink, and the price is not high."

Lingo glanced at the beverage bottle in his hand strangely—beer-flavored soda, would it be difficult to drink?He pouted, threw the bottle into the trash can beside him, and picked up another box of soft drinks: "This?"

"I quite like this."

Lingo looked at the apple juice in his hand: "...you seem to like fruity drinks very much?"

"I'm a little lactose intolerant." Xu Beijin said helplessly, "Although I also like to drink milk, it will be more uncomfortable if I drink too much."

Lingo gave him a strange look, he thought about it, and finally expressed his thoughts honestly: "You live very...real."

Residents and outsiders of Zhailou, these human beings, rarely live as real as Xu Beijin.

It’s a game, meaning that even if they don’t shower or brush their teeth for a month or two—exaggerating—it doesn’t really affect their personal hygiene.

They won't be hungry or thirsty, and they don't need to eat or drink. Although they may feel greedy and sleepy, as long as the energy value on the personal panel does not return to zero, then it doesn't matter how hard they try to die.

Their bodies are just strings of data in the game.Maybe this game is very real, but it is just a game.

From another point of view, although the taskers and actors are dying because of the game "Escape from the Sky", in fact, they will not really die, but they will never be able to escape from this game.At least they haven't found a way to escape yet.

Dai Wu's optimism that "we have gained a second life" is not uncommon among others.

Yet the paradox is that they know it's a game.Everyone knows that this is just a game.This is not reality, this is not the real life they are after.

Such a painful comparison, of course, made more people feel deep despair.

Real life in the real world... For this group of human beings, it is already out of reach.

The status of the daily necessities merchant in the narrow building is quite high, indeed.But that's not because the taskers really need daily necessities, but just because this is probably part of the doomsday carnival of those taskers.

They frantically consume some food, drink, and frantically have fun and entertainment.Some taskers may not have entered the nightmare again for several years, and just lived indulgently at the bottom of the narrow building.

That seems to be the doomed life and destiny of this group of people.

But Xu Bei is definitely not like this.

He is obviously just a resident of the narrow building, but he has a more serious attitude towards life than the taskers.

When Lingo heard the words "lactose intolerance" from Xu Beijin's mouth, he seemed to feel that he was in the real world and heard a friend complaining about his damn constitution.

Ringo was in a daze for a moment.Afterwards, all thoughts went blank.

And Xu Beijin lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly.He could understand the meaning of Lin Po's words, but he could only say calmly: "The matter is already like this."

And what can he do?

They were relatively silent.

Xu Beijin took a deep breath and tried to smile: "Thank you for the drink..."

"Do not laugh."

Xu Beijin said blankly, "What?"

"Don't laugh." Lin Po's voice was low, "If you don't want to laugh, you don't need to laugh."

Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, and finally sighed uncontrollably in front of Lingo.He said, "Ringo..."

Ringo tilted his head.

Xu Beijin said, "If you really want to fight with me, you have to be more aggressive."

Ling Po was stunned, and then tried to show a very ferocious expression in his opinion.Then he said, "Is that okay?"

Xu Beijin couldn't help laughing, and said boldly: "I think your expression is quite cute."

Lin Po frowned, he gave Xu Beijin a look, and said, "Don't use that word to describe me."

Xu Bei accepted it when he saw it was good, and nodded immediately: "Okay, no need."

Ringo: "..."

Did not feel the slightest sincerity.

For the first time in his life, Ringo also felt a little distressed because of his appearance.

The two picked and picked, and the shopping cart was half empty, and a hill was piled up in the trash can.Like an obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lingo placed the drinks one by one on the counter of Xu Beijin Bookstore.

Then he said complacently: "I remember. I will give you these later."

Xu Bei tried his best to speak and stopped, but finally held back.

Lingo suddenly looked at him and said, "Just say what you want."

Xu Beijin said, "Even if you give me so much, I won't fight with you."

Ringo: "..."

He looked like he was going to explode.

Xu Bei thought to himself, so, he shouldn't have said it.Why did Ringo just want to listen?

In the end, Ringo took a deep breath, and said angrily, "That's your business."

Xu Beijin was taken aback.

Ringo said, "I will not force you to fight with me."

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Inevitably, he felt a little guilty.Because of Ringo's flattery and frankness, Xu Bei, who was sitting on his hands, felt a little guilty.

But, yelling and beating and killing at every turn—the most important thing is that he still can't beat Lin Biao—Xu Beijin thought desperately, is it true that he really has to be hanged and beaten by Lin Biao before this matter is over?

He sighed silently in his heart.

Then, he handed Ringo a bottle of peach soda.

Lin Po asked blankly, "Why?"

Xu Beijin said, "Try it. If you leave this nightmare, you won't be able to drink it anymore."

Lin Po was stunned for a moment, took the drink, looked down for a while, and said, "I don't need you to comfort me."

"……what?"

"You said it yourself, when you are in a bad mood, you will drink this kind of sweet drink." Ringo said, "You don't need to comfort me. I am used to you rejecting me. Although it is true that you will be upset, but you Don't give me what you like."

He said it frankly and sincerely, because it was exactly what he had in mind.

He is always bored, angry, and unhappy, but this bottle of peach soda is Xu Bei's favorite thing.He doesn't need Xu Beijin to give him what he likes, just to comfort him.

Like, he won't force Xu Beijin to also like to fight.

Although he always wanted Xu Beijin to fight him.

Xu Bei thought about it and understood.He lamented the simplicity of Ringo.

Still, he smiled and said, "Isn't it normal to share your favorite drink with your friends?"

Lingo muttered to himself blankly: "Is...is that so?"

"Yes." Xu Beijin said with a smile, "Because I think it's delicious, so I hope you will try it too."

Ringo thought for a moment, and then, his simple brain circuit also clearly pointed out a logic: "We are friends. I like to fight. Friends can share what they like with each other. So..."

Xu Beijin said, "No fight."

Ringo clenched the peach soda: "...Oh."

He sat back at the door of the bookstore sullenly.

...what friends can share favorite things with each other.Xu Bei tried to lie to him.

His unhappiness made his eyes gradually turn to the bottle of peach soda.He thought for a moment, then opened it and took a sip.

...so sweet.

But the mood seems to be a little better.

He thought in confusion, so, on this point, Xu Bei never lied to him?

Xu Beijin sat behind the counter again, feeling a little ironic in his heart.He wondered, did Ringo realize that the focus was on "friends" rather than anything else?

In Narrow Building, the concept of friends is very scarce.

Ringo did not deny it, and even acquiesced.I have to say, this point really made Xu Beijin feel a little happy.

but……

Xu Beijin thought about it again and again, but why is Lingo's idea so simple?

Sometimes, he really thought, maybe there seems to be some truth in the rumors about Ringo's IQ problem in the narrow building.

However, Ringo is not a fool.His world may be simpler, maybe sometimes he is used to using force to solve problems, like a mad dog.But he is sharp and candid.

From a certain point of view, this is much better than those complex and surly taskers.

...Yes, what Xu Beijin was talking about was the group of taskers who were arguing again in the live broadcast room.

Xu Beijin sighed silently in his heart.

He seemed to have gotten used to the scenes of the taskers arguing every now and then.

In the past, when he was a group performer, he was just a background board in the bookstore, and he had no idea what the taskers were doing.But after these two nightmares, he was watching the actions of the taskers on the live broadcast screen, and only felt that...

The original mysterious veil seems to have been torn off.

At this time, the topic of quarrel among the taskers was their conversation with the supermarket cashier this time.

When they walked up to the supermarket cashier with the little boy, the cashier showed a strange expression.

"Do you know who this is?" The third child asked sharply.

Dai Wu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I know. He is that child...the surviving child." He whispered, "It's so pitiful..."

"We brought him here, don't you wonder where we found him?"

This is the question raised by Mu Jiashi.

There is a trap in this question.Before that, the selfish ghost and the dead ghost said that they almost got some important information from Dai Wu.

And judging from their performance, it's not like they didn't get important information.Therefore, what the supermarket cashiers told them in the last round of nightmares becomes a very important point.

Of course, Mu Jiashi also noticed that the change in the expression of the dead ghost was when Dai Wushuo's little boy disappeared.Therefore, this time, he specifically took the little boy's whereabouts as a question and asked the supermarket cashier.

Does he really know nothing?

What role does this supermarket cashier play in this nightmare?

Although Mu Jiashi didn't know that the residents of these narrow buildings were cosplayers, but in his mental activities at this time, he thought of the word "playing" by mistake.

He didn't know that Dai Wu was a "supporting role" at the level of an actor in this nightmare.In short, he is indeed a very important character.

And Dai Wu also showed superb acting skills - he is not like Xu Beijin's salty fish group acting.

He really asked curiously: "Yes, no one knows the whereabouts of this little boy. Where did you find him?"

When he said these words, the expression on behalf of the dead ghost could not be hidden again.He frowned, hesitated to speak.

The third child kept watching him.He thought, this guy's acting skills... I don't know if it's bad or good.He acted like this, as if he was bluntly reminding them that there was something wrong with what the cashier said.

But where is the problem?

Before he could think about it, the selfish man sneered, "Aren't you really a bunch of trash? Are you still doubting me, instead of thinking about the truth and ending of this nightmare?"

"Can you fucking shut up?" The boss said bluntly, "If the narrow building can kill teammates, then I will kill you first!"

The selfish ghost pushed forward unconvinced: "It's a pity that you just can't kill, what can you do, hahahaha."

The second brother said in a low voice, "This is really cheap."

He secretly nodded for the dead ghost.

In the chaos, they suddenly heard the little boy still crying.

"This big brother," the little boy ran to the front of the cashier counter at some point. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the supermarket cashier. "I remember. I've seen you before."
