Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

The female tasker walked around in this apartment, but she didn't realize where the eyes watching her came from.

This is a two-bedroom apartment, but she is the only one here.

She felt something was wrong.Because, she had entered the nightmare with her sister, but now she was alone.

She went to the door, wanted to open the door and leave the apartment, but found that the door lock seemed to be frozen by some invisible force.

So the female tasker knew that at the beginning of the nightmare, she might not be able to leave this room.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

That gaze... seemed to be still staring at her back.

She felt dense goosebumps on the skin on her back, and an eerie chill climbed up her hair, then penetrated into her scalp bit by bit, and finally entered her brain, dispelling the thoughts in her mind Make a mess.

She couldn't help trembling, and couldn't help turning around, leaning her back against the cold door, her eyes wandering around the apartment.

As far as the eye can see, it is a quiet and ordinary living room scene.Further outside is the balcony.The glass door leading to the balcony was closed, and the curtains were drawn down, covering most of the glass door, but the bustling night scene outside the balcony could still be seen.

The light in the living room was turned on, and the warm yellow light shone on the white wall, showing an old and dirty yellow.In front of the fabric sofa is a wooden coffee table, and the remote control is randomly placed on the coffee table. The TV controlled by it is not turned on, and it is pitch black.

There is a door on the left and right, leading to the bedroom.To the left of the door of the apartment is the bathroom, with cool white lighting and cool white tiles, it looks clean and bright.To the right is the dining table and kitchen.All the lights are on.

The apartment is equipped with central air conditioning, which is currently on.Warm air blows slowly from the air outlet, making the whole room warm.The female missionaries broke out in a cold sweat.

everything is normal……

Everything is normal is the biggest abnormality!

Her spirit was highly concentrated, and in this quiet and silent room, everything seemed to be in order.

Until she suddenly saw that the curtain seemed to move.

She felt suffocated for a moment... Even though the door leading to the balcony was closed, and the windows outside the balcony were also locked tightly, why did the curtains move?

She clenched her fists tightly, as if to give herself some courage.She walked over slowly, taking every step carefully.When she got near the glass door, she reached out and pulled the curtains open.

Behind is a bare wall.No one is hiding.

The female tasker breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the uneasy feeling of being spied on and stared at seems to have disappeared.

She put down the curtains, thinking with frowned, could it be that she just saw the curtains move, was it a hallucination caused by her nervousness?

...Maybe it is true.This was the first time in a long time that she finally mustered up the courage to enter the nightmare again.She hopes to achieve a true ending in the nightmare.

Perhaps the excessive expectation, the accident after entering the nightmare, and the inexplicable peep made her nerves too tense.

She sighed, frowned, and lowered the curtains.She looked at the apartment again, but this time her guard was lessened.She even wanted to know if there were any clues hidden in this apartment?

The audience in the live broadcast room can responsibly tell the female tasker that she did not experience hallucinations just now.

Because they saw it too, the curtain just moved!

It was like being blown by the wind, or hooked by something, so the lower part fluttered.But just for a moment, it fell down and returned to its original shape.

"Ah, is this a game with ghosts?!"

"...I, this, that... Beibei, see you in the next nightmare."

"It's not scientific, it's not scientific."

"Beibei, please change the sound source to your side, thank you [polite]"

Xu Beijin changed the sound source to his own, dumbfounded.

At this time, there were four viewers in the live broadcast room, three of whom had appeared before.Another new viewer, who seemed timid, had swiped the screen with "ahhhh" on the public screen.

Unfortunately, the reasoning boss did not appear.

Therefore, Xu Beijin could only analyze this nightmare by himself.

He said: "Now the screen in the live broadcast room is aimed at one of the taskers. The main scene of this nightmare is this apartment building and the commercial area where I am.

"This tasker is in Room 807 of Loko Apartment, and there are six other taskers in different rooms. Let's take a look at the situation one by one later.

"I don't know much about this nightmare. We saw the curtain move just now, but there is no one hiding behind the curtain, and the doors and windows are closed. This may be a ghost, or it may be..."

He paused for a moment, but did not express his guesses and thoughts.Instead, he said: "Anything is possible."

The audience in the studio also agreed with him: "The nightmare has just begun."

"I don't know what this nightmare will be like."

"Will the conditions for the true ending be particularly harsh like the previous two nightmares?"

Xu Beijin's eyes fell on these bullet screens, and then on the long row of scenes on the right side of the screen.

Loko Apartments.

He was slightly absent-minded.

The anchor became quiet, but the indistinct sound of music and laughter from the business district outside made it not completely silent in the live broadcast room.The audience didn't care either, they looked at the action of the female tasker on the screen of the live broadcast room.

Her name is Jiang Shuangmei, and she has a younger sister named Jiang Shuangmei.They are twins.

Many years ago, probably when the pair of sisters first came to Narrow Building, they found each other by virtue of a tacit understanding and intuition unique to twins that cannot be explained by science.

Since then, they have never been separated.

In the narrow building, it is difficult for other people to trust each other and rely on each other like them. Although... such a close relationship does not seem to bring much luck to their nightmare journey.

They cycled back and forth between the ground floor of the narrow building and the slightly higher floors.Every time I went to a higher floor with joy, I had a bad ending soon after and had to return to the bottom of the narrow building.

Many taskers have the same fate as them, so they, like so many taskers, are unwilling to be reconciled to their mediocrity and the accidental true ending that comes from a flash of inspiration.

They keep falling into nightmares, hoping to prove themselves...or, hoping to be realized, to go to higher and higher floors.

True, average, average, bad, bad, true, average, bad...

It's like a magic spell that repeats itself.

So one day, when they returned to the bottom floor of the narrow building, Jiang Shuangmei said to her elder sister, "Sister, can we stop for a while?"

The tacit understanding between the twins allowed Sister Jiang to understand what her younger sister was proposing.

She is tired.She didn't want to enter the nightmare again, at least not at that time.

So, they stopped for several years.

That was the period when Xu Beijin's name was heard like thunder among the workers at the bottom of the narrow building.The two tired sisters didn't take part in the lively events at that time at all. They went to the lively markets, bars, and carnival nights that the fallen missionaries would go to.

While some missionaries are struggling to survive the nightmare, they and other missionaries indulge in laughter, indulgence and self-deprecation.They stopped thinking about the nightmares, or the vexing question of what the Narrows was, what it was like outside, whether they could get out of the Narrows.

Only the alcohol delivered to the lips, and those frantic, sensual nights, seemed extraordinarily real.

It was like a sweet dream, and the sweet dream will eventually wake up.

During these days, there have been some changes in the narrow building, and many people's minds have become active.

It might be a half-truth from a higher floor, like that trick card that no one knows if it really exists, that can forcefully withdraw from the nightmare.

Or maybe it's just some old rumors, mixed with the chaotic rumors in the nightmare, and it becomes even more unclear.

In short, even Jiang Shuangmei, Jiang Shuangmei, heard someone say in some carnival occasions—say, that those with missions successfully escaped from the narrow building.

Really?But since he has already escaped, why is there still news?

fake?But... just like they believe that the nightmare of eternal collapse does not represent death, they have to believe this rumor.

As a result, even some taskers who have been depraved for a long time have climbed up from the world of alcohol and other things that fool their minds, cleaned their brains, and are gearing up to go to higher floors to find out.

Jiang Shuangmei Jiang Shuangmei is no exception.

They even acted earlier than other taskers.They heard rumors that the "billionaire" had made it to a higher floor, and they couldn't wait to get into action the next night.

They knew Ding Yi.To be precise, they used to form a group with Ding Yi back then.It is always easier for the three girls to trust each other.

And later, when Ding Yi excitedly shared with them the item card she drew from the nightmare settlement pool, the three began to part ways tacitly.

Afterwards, Ding Yi comfortably became her billionaire on the bottom floor of the narrow building, while Jiang Shuangmei Jiang Shuangmei continued to walk back and forth between the bottom floor and the slightly higher floors.A little later, after they stopped, they even took the wine glass from Ding Yi's hand with their own hands.

But the blue-haired woman and the twin sisters pretended not to recognize each other.

Now, Ding Yi went to a higher floor.And the pair of sisters walked out of the house together on the second night in tacit agreement without anyone saying anything clearly.

It's been a long time since they've had a nightmare, but some basic skills are still there.At this time, Sister Jiang started searching in this apartment.

After a few minutes, she stood still, frowning again.

Nothing at all.

This apartment is not so much an actual inhabited room as it is an empty hotel.Indeed, there are daily necessities, but there are no traces of use.

There were no clothes in the closet, no food in the refrigerator, and not even any hair or scraps of paper in the bathroom.All rooms are empty and eerily clean.

She had thought she would find some clues in this apartment, notes, newspaper clippings, communication tools, whatever.But she found nothing.

She wanted to try turning on the TV, but the TV seemed to be broken and couldn't be turned on at all, just like the door of this apartment couldn't be opened, full of a kind of deliberate evil.

Sister Jiang stood in the living room of this apartment, looking around, full of confusion.

She thought, what about herself?What are the identities of these missionaries in this nightmare?Why is it in this apartment building?

this nightmare...

Sister Jiang suddenly regretted it.She thought, they shouldn't enter the nightmare in such a hurry, at least, they have to learn some information about the nightmare first.

They chose to enter this nightmare directly. When they were wandering around in the narrow building, looking for a nightmare they could enter, they saw two familiar figures walking into the portal of the residents of the narrow building, so they followed them in.

But who would have thought that after the nightmare started, the few of them would disperse?

It's actually one person per room, not a group action, and now I can't get out of this apartment...

Thinking about it, Sister Jiang showed an uneasy and puzzled expression.

Does this hint at something in the nightmare?

While Sister Jiang was standing at a loss in the living room of the apartment, Xu Beijin had already pointed the camera of the live broadcast room at the other missionaries, and took a look at their current situation one by one.

Except for Jiang Shuangjie, the six taskers were randomly distributed on different floors and different rooms, without any rules.

Most of them, like Sister Jiang, searched carefully in the apartment, trying to find clues, but found nothing, so they began to ponder and think.

When seeing one of the taskers, Xu Beijin and the audience couldn't help being amazed, because she looks exactly like Sister Jiang, and they are obviously twins.The twins in the narrow building can be said to be extremely rare.

And there was a male missionary, standing on the balcony, staring at the bustling business district opposite, showing a strange expression.

There are others—such as Ringo, who is staring at the apartment in thought at this moment.Xu Beijin thought, this man who has no memory of the earth is probably curious and confused.He might think, so this is a house on earth?

After switching back and forth for a round, Xu Beijin focused the main camera on that strange man.

He looked very young, in his early 20s.However, the age of these humans who entered the game will not change over time.So, maybe it's just his age when he entered the narrow building.

The young man stared at the business district with a thoughtful look on his face.But... that expression looked very strange.It's not really the surprise of finding any clues, or thinking about it.

It was an emotion mixed with confusion, incomprehension, and fear.

He looked at the brightly lit business district, as if he saw some scourge, with a solemn expression.

What did he think of?

Xu Beijin was somewhat curious because of his expression.

The audience in the live broadcast room didn't understand why Xu Beijin put the camera on this ordinary young man, so they all asked on the barrage.And Xu Beijin also frankly told his thoughts.

"Hey, there are many possibilities."

"The reasoning master is not here, so I will show my skills! Hmm...maybe he found some clues?"

"Damn, you're too good at it. Beibei just said that he doesn't think this person has found a clue."

"...Could he have come to this nightmare before? Just like the tasker in the last nightmare. He knows that there are important clues in this business district, so he shows this expression?"

"It's possible... I don't understand, I don't understand."

Xu Beijin didn't quite understand either.But the young man's expression seemed to imply something.

But what is that?

Xu Bei couldn't figure it out.

In the live broadcast room, the audience who couldn't figure it out had already changed the topic smoothly.

"By the way, since the taskers are all in that apartment building, can Beibei go out for a walk?"

"This time the nightmare scene is very big! You can take a good walk."

"It feels like this group of taskers hasn't made any big movements for a while."

"Beibeibeibei, let's go out and play!"

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, then agreed softly.The audience cheered and jumped, one by one more excited.The new spectator didn't know why, so he made a question mark, and seemed out of place amidst the cheers of other spectators.

Hey, this is a horror game live broadcast!What is "going out to play"? !

Xu Beijin adjusted the main perspective to his side, and the small box on the lower right still stayed on that strange young man's side.He stood up, walked out of the bookstore, closed the door, and looked back at the bustling business district.

This is a commercial area connected by two wide buildings, including shops on four floors above ground, two floors below ground, and two floors of underground parking.

In addition to the road on the first floor, the two buildings can also pass through the sky bridge on the third floor and the open-air square on the first basement floor.

Xu Beijin's bookstore is in a corner of the open-air square.

This is an antique bookstore, not inconspicuous at all, the dusty glass and the dark interior environment, even more rejecting most of the guests coming here.

Once you leave the bookstore, the bustling atmosphere in the business district blows your face.The mastermind probably took great pains to arrange many actors for this nightmare, and there were more than a dozen people in the open-air square alone.

Although compared with the original level of excitement on the earth, it must not be comparable, but in the narrow building, in the nightmare, such a crowded, lively and prosperous appearance really made Xu Beijin stunned for a moment.

As if really, back to the earth.

He shuffled, and slowly passed this group of dedicated actors.He passed a milk tea shop, fried chicken shop, duck neck shop, sushi shop, pickled fish shop, hot pot shop, ramen shop, bakery... The aroma of countless delicacies drilled into his nose.

He was almost unable to restrain himself, so he ran to a milk tea shop and queued up.

He has no money, but he is also a cosplayer, and his colleagues graciously waived the bill for him.

Xu Bei watched eagerly as the automatic capping machine sealed the cups of milk tea with plastic film.A few minutes later, he got his milk tea and was very happy.He declared in his heart that this nightmare was his favorite nightmare, bar none!

...at least after he got the live broadcast system, his favorite nightmare.

In the past, even if there were these shops in the nightmare he went to, he didn't dare to move at will, for fear of encountering missionaries and letting himself be punished by the mastermind.But now, because he can grasp the movements of other taskers through the live broadcast system, he is much more relaxed.

You can even drink milk tea here.

In the live broadcast room, the audience couldn't help laughing because of his actions.

"My God, Beibei is a little too leisurely."

"Milk tea, my milk tea...I want to drink milk tea too...[荣蜜]"

"Drinking milk tea in the game... How come I never thought of such a great idea. After all, drinking milk tea in the game won't make you fat... Now go get my nutrition compartment."

"Nutrition cabin! Boss!"

"I also really want to have a nutrition cabin, and I also want to stay in the game for a long time..."

"There are thousands of ways to access brain waves, but I can only use the most basic equipment. It's nice to have money, woo woo woo."

"The anchor can drink milk tea in the game, it must be top-notch equipment. I am so impressed."

"I hope that the development of science and technology will be faster, and the nutrition cabin will become an affordable brain wave access device as soon as possible, shed tears."

"Ham, this is beyond our control..."

The audience in the live broadcast room was on the barrage, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of different brain wave access devices.

According to them, the nutrition cabin is the best. The nutrient solution in the cabin can be used to supplement nutrition to the body at all times to maintain health. It also has a good solution to physiological problems.

Moreover, the degree of fidelity obtained by players in the nutrition cabin in the game can also reach almost [-]%.

Many players who use the nutrition cabin will not have any problems staying in the game all day long.

This is followed by the normal gaming compartment.In fact, the nutrition cabin can also be regarded as a kind of game cabin, but it is more upscale.

The ordinary game cabin is not like the nutrition cabin, which has the convenient function of replenishing nutrients at any time, so players have to leave the game every once in a while to replenish the energy needed by the body and solve physiological problems, such as eating and drinking.

In addition, the fidelity of ordinary game cabins cannot reach [-]%, especially in terms of five senses, which are obviously different from reality.

In terms of price, the nutrition cabin is the best.The game cabin is cheaper, and ordinary people can afford it by saving money.Further down are some cheaper products, such as gaming helmets, and the worst is gaming glasses.

Xu Beijin's behavior of drinking milk tea in the game made the audience in the live broadcast room acquiesce that he was using the nutrition cabin.And Xu Beijin didn't deny it, and watched the audience's barrage without changing his expression.

As for... the nutrition cabin?

He didn't even know what form he was living in now.

Or, is he really still alive?

Thinking about it, Xu Beijin's eyes gradually became dark and deep.The milk tea in my mouth seemed to become bitter.

The audience in the live broadcast room were discussing a lot, and Xu Beijin was distracted; in the small box in the lower right corner of the live broadcast room that no one noticed, the young man with a strange expression had turned around, returned to the apartment, and stopped watching The brightly lit business district.

When he stepped into the slightly dim living room with only the side laser lights on, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He felt a strong gaze cast on him, looking at him from the front.There was a chilling cold malice in that gaze, distorted, crazy, and terrifying, as if wishing him to die now.

The young man in his early 20s twitched slightly, and subconsciously raised his eyes to search for the owner of this gaze.

He saw the cat's eye.

And the cat's eyes seemed to be watching him too.
