Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Five minutes later, Sister Jiang came to the lobby on the first floor of Loko Apartment.

She saw the tall and strong tasker at a glance, gritted her teeth, and rushed over immediately, cursing: "You damn card dealer! Get out of this nightmare!!"

The rest of the taskers present were stunned, showing surprised expressions, and subconsciously moved away from the muscular man.

The muscular man showed a blank expression, and said innocently, "What... what card dealer?"

"You stole my item card!" Sister Jiang screamed, "The last round of nightmare, on the fourth floor, you stole my item card!"

The muscular man frowned and said, "What are you talking about...? I never saw you in the last round of nightmares."

Sister Jiang was dizzy with anger, and pointed at the muscular man with trembling hands, unable to say a word for a while.

never seen it? !This guy actually said he hadn't seen her!Are all card dealers so shameless? !

And... Facing the muscular man's categorical denial, Sister Jiang was momentarily at a loss for words.

She couldn't produce any definite evidence at all, even if she knew that the guy in front of her was a thief.Their meeting in the last round of nightmare was unknown to anyone except the two of them.

But this guy... this guy actually denied it so shamelessly!

Sister Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Your apartment is in Room 408, which can always prove that we met each other in the last round of nightmares!"

The muscular man stared at her, then smiled contemptuously.

The tall and thin tasker next to him tried to start a conversation: "Well... Actually, we found the check-in record, with our respective room numbers written on it. If you saw this in the last round..."

"I also saw what it looks like inside your apartment." Sister Jiang interrupted him, staring at the muscular man, "If it wasn't for..."

The muscular man shrugged: "Everyone's apartment is the same."

Sister Jiang couldn't bear it anymore: "Search!" She said loudly, "You obviously stole my item card, don't try to deny it!"

"Search?" the muscular man said in surprise, "What the hell are you doing? I did bring an item card to the nightmare, and then you found it, and you are going to say that I stole your item card?? "

Sister Jiang was trembling with anger, her eyes were dark and her lips were trembling, as if she wanted to kill this man.

"Crazy woman." The muscular man stared at Jiang Shuangjie, and even showed a triumphant smile, "You didn't lose the item card yourself, and then wanted to rely on me, did you? Why don't you go to someone else? come to me?"

He even snapped his fingers and showed off his muscles: "I'm not easy to bully, I advise you to find someone else to do this kind of framing."

Sister Jiang Shuang was speechless for a moment.

The rest of the taskers present looked at the two of them suspiciously, neither dared to believe anyone's words, nor dared not to disbelieve anyone's words.

They had to believe that the muscular man might be a card dealer, and they also had to believe that Jiang Shuangjie might be a crazy woman who planted others.Because, no matter which one is the truth, their interests may be damaged.

As a result, several taskers took a step back in unison, and returned the battlefield to these two people.

And in the muscular man's eyes, there was a triumphant expression.

He did steal Sister Jiang's item card, but Sister Jiang couldn't prove it.Because it is impossible for a muscular man to accept a body search——it is impossible for any tasker to accept a body search.

Besides... the muscular man didn't carry the two prop cards he stole with him at all.He only brought the item cards he originally carried, and the two he stole were placed in room 408.

If the nightmare is restarted, then these two prop cards will naturally return to him; if they play the ending directly in the second round of the nightmare, that's even better, and he will directly return to the narrow building with the stolen goods.

This is the experience gained by the muscular man after working as a card dealer for so long.

In this case, even if the card dealer is searched under the coercion of the owner, it is impossible to find the lost item card.What's even better is that room 408 cannot be entered at all now, and even if one wants to enter, only the fingerprints of the muscular man will be recognized.

Public key to the property?

Then he had to search his body first to make sure that the item card was not on him.Besides, he could use some means to restart the nightmare directly before opening the door.

All in all, the unexpected reunion between him and Sister Jiang in the last round of nightmare was really a happy event.

He had already set his sights on the pair of sisters.

As a card dealer, he would go to the carnival parties of those taskers from time to time to have fun. The sisters were also very famous figures there. After all, they were twins, so they were extremely eye-catching.

The muscular man once heard that the pair of sisters boasted how many prop cards they had accumulated after they were drunk.He was naturally moved immediately, but unfortunately, the sisters did not plan to return to the nightmare at that time.

However, after the rumor that someone left the narrow building spread, countless taskers who had sunk for a long time were gearing up, and the muscular man couldn't believe that the sisters were not in love.

So, he kept staring at the sisters' house.A few days later, after nightfall, the sisters went out.The muscular man followed behind, and together they entered the nightmare of a certain narrow building dweller.

The muscular man didn't intend to clear this nightmare, he just came to steal the item cards of the sisters... And he didn't expect that his action would be so smooth!

The muscular man could hardly control the smug expression on his face, his facial muscles twitched, revealing a half-smile expression.

Sister Jiang clenched her fists and said in a cold tone, "Let's wait and see."

She really couldn't beat the muscular man, and besides, after the muscular man poured such a basin of dirty water on her, it was impossible for the rest of the taskers to stand on her side and jointly demand that the muscular man be searched.

And Jiang Shuangjie is not stupid, the lost item card may not always be carried by the muscular man.If the body search is still not found, it will instantly make Sister Jiang's victim status suspicious.

Therefore, it is better to take a step back now and wait until later to solve this matter slowly.

Sister Jiang stared at the muscular man, and slowly, she opened her mouth to reveal a ferocious smile.

In the live broadcast room, after watching such a big show, the audience exploded: "Damn it! Even games are so socially dangerous!"

"I am really convinced by the ability to tell lies with open eyes."

"I feel sorry for Miss Sister."

"North and North, can't item cards be bound?"

Xu Beijin answered this question: "No, the narrow building is a more...real game world. The item card is a small card that actually exists, and it may be stolen if you put it on your body."

"...I imagined that the rare item card that I worked so hard to get was stolen by someone on the other side, and I was justified..."

"!!! I'm going to kill someone!"

"Damn it, I want this thief to know what it means to be truly sinister!!"

Xu Beijin was amused by the audience's barrage, but he immediately restrained his smile and looked at the muscular man with a proud face on the screen of the live broadcast room with neither joy nor anger.

He thought, this trick of splashing dirty water is really familiar.

As far as Xu Beijin is concerned, he has almost forgotten the guy who once said he was an outsider outside his house.That guy didn't come to provoke him anymore, and he never met those taskers who surrounded his house again.

Xu Beijin himself no longer cared about some things in that period.

No matter for the residents of the narrow building or the mission workers, it was a crazy and chaotic period.Everyone wants to rush to a higher floor, and everyone is eager to leave the narrow building.

Now... that's not the case anymore.Rather, the narrow building a few years ago seemed to be on fire, and the narrow building now is the ashes of that fire.

People became hopeless and silent.They looked more like walking dead, and... more hopeless.

Therefore, Xu Beijin actually doesn't recall much about that period.

However, the direction of fate seems to be out of his control.He saw Mu Jiashi again, and... met this annoying guy again.

He turned into a card dealer.If I could, maybe...

Xu Beijin hugged his milk tea, meditating.

In the live broadcast room, several taskers finally started to discuss matters related to nightmares.

The atmosphere still seemed a bit weird, Jiang Shuangjie was far away from the muscular man, and the rest of the taskers were far away from both of them.

Sister Jiang has calmed down, but she is still unwilling to have any contact with the muscular man.She turned to ask: "Sorry...you just said that you found the check-in record?"

"Yes. The identities of the few of us should be the new tenants." The tall and thin task worker replied, and handed her a file, "I found it in the property office, and there were seven names written on it."

Sister Jiang Shuang looked at the file and said casually, "You guys move very quickly."

The thin man smiled and didn't say much.

There are a total of five taskers present.In addition to the thin man who was talking all the time, Sister Jiang and the muscular man, there was also a girl who looked like a teenager, and Shen Yunju who had shown strange eyes to the business district before.

The little girl and Shen Yunju kept silent, watching the farce between Sister Jiang and the muscular man coldly.

Sister Jiang glanced at the skinny man and the little girl, then at Shen Yunju, but didn't say much.She looked down at the files carefully and confirmed that her sister's apartment room number was 1104.

By the way, she glanced at the room numbers of the other taskers, and suddenly said in surprise, "Ringo? That boss...?"

"Yes." The thin man couldn't help showing a joyful expression, "It's great to have this big guy here."

Sister Jiang Shuang remained silent.She just knew about Ringo's existence, and she didn't know anything about Ringo's character and so on.The years when she and Jiang Shuangmei were hanging out at carnival nights coincided with the time when Ringo became famous.

Ringo has indeed appeared in the narrow building for many years, but a few years ago, every tasker in the narrow building, even the actors, were crazy and radical.

Taskers will try various means in their nightmares, even inappropriate means, just to get a true ending.In that case, even though Ringo possessed a strong force value, he seldom gained the attention of others due to his habit of not taking random shots.

And when the fire was extinguished, the narrow building became a truly dilapidated game scene, and human beings lost hope in the future, the appearance of Ringo became their life-saving straw.

For many taskers, the only pity is that Ringo only appears on the bottom floor of the narrow building.He never went to a higher floor.Even in some of the nightmares he had been to, some quest players played the true ending, but he did not go to higher floors.

In fact, there may not be some taskers on the higher floors who want to hug their thighs...

In any case, Sister Jiang had heard of Lin Po's name, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, may I ask..." When Sister Jiang checked the stack of documents, the thin man hesitated again and again, and finally asked, "Are you Sister Jiang, or Sister Jiang?"

These two names are so obvious that it seems a bit strange whether it is regarded as not seeing it, or as ignoring the connection between the two names.

Sister Jiang Shuang replied: "I am my elder sister."

She was a little strange and anxiously looked in the direction of the elevator... 10 minutes had passed, and Jiang Shuangmei hadn't appeared yet.

Her gaze made the thin man ask thoughtfully, "Are you worried about your sister?"

Sister Jiang nodded frankly."I'm going to go find her," she said. She hesitated, not expressing the palpitations she felt during the previous round of nightmares, but said, "I'm a little worried about her."

The muscular man on the side couldn't help but said, "You won't drag us along?"

After he succeeded, the honesty and honesty he had pretended to be were gone in an instant.This is his habitual method, used to reduce the vigilance of other taskers, and wait for the opportunity to find the opportunity and target to attack.

However, in the last few seconds of the last round of nightmares, the timing was really good, so the muscular man didn't hold back, and directly took Sister Jiang's item card.If he followed his previous style, he would have done it when the nightmare was about to come to an end.

At that time, even if the sufferer finds that their item card is missing, they have basically left the nightmare, and they will never find the muscular man again.

Because he has a trick card.

"Brand Name: Mask of the Devil

"The pattern of the card: (a delicate and gorgeous mask)

"Interpretation: When a devil does evil, it always needs a mask to cover up its appearance. You will have this ability. If you use it to do evil, it will be more in line with the devil's will. However, using the devil's ability, there will always be its cost.

"Number of uses: 2/3 times. (If you do evil while using this item card and are not found, then the number of times you used will be automatically restored.)"

For card dealers... no, this is a powerful enough item card for any tasker who wants to do crime in the narrow building.

But even with such a thing as a trick card, it is not foolproof.

After he got this item card for the first time a few years ago, he still hasn't figured out how to use it.

At that time, the taskers were besieging the once very famous bookstore owner, so he had a thought, used this item card, and went outside the bookstore owner's house to stir up people's hearts.

That's why, after that, Xu Beijin was never able to meet this guy in the narrow building again.Because he changed his appearance and seldom showed his true colors to others.

Unfortunately, his first action was terminated by the bookstore owner who suddenly attacked him.As a result, the number of uses of the "Devil's Mask" was also reduced by one.

After that, the muscular man became a lot more honest.

But later he discovered a more suitable use, which was to use this card to steal prop cards.

As long as it is not discovered on the spot and the stolen item card is not returned to the owner, then even if his evil deed is successful this time, the number of times he has used it will be reset.

As for the so-called "price"... the muscular man thought contemptuously, it just made him more greedy and bolder.However, since he has decided to become a card dealer that everyone calls out for, the price is nothing but what he will become.

At this moment, under the instigation of greed in his heart, the muscular man looked at the taskers present with flickering eyes.He boldly thought, maybe... this time, the nightmare will succeed more than once?

Even if the other taskers are already wary of him, but... with his skills and acting skills, maybe...

Extreme greed and arrogance are constantly spreading in the heart of this tasker.

It was this backlog of emotions that made him unable to resist tearing off the disguise he had been wearing all along, and sneered at Sister Jiang Shuang, otherwise, he might have to put on airs for a while longer.

But Sister Jiang took his words as deaf ears, but couldn't help but think in her heart, it would be great if the narrow building could kill each other.Unfortunately, the mastermind forbids missionaries to actively and directly kill teammates.Even if it is really killed, the next round of nightmares will be resurrected.

Thinking about it, Sister Jiang's eyes flashed a cold look.

She didn't have the patience to talk to this group of guys, so she handed back the information to the thin man, and said lightly, "I'll just go find my sister myself."

The thin man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go together."

The muscular man showed an expression of resentment, but then recalled something thoughtfully.

The little girl who was silent at the side suddenly took a step forward. Although her voice was immature, the indifference and confidence in her tone were impressive.

She said: "We have just talked about it. At the end of the last round of nightmares, we didn't die. Although you didn't say anything," she nodded her chin at Sister Jiang, "but judging by your expression, it should be Nothing happened. Then it can only be your sister."

She directly ignored the possibility of Ringo.Could something happen to Ringo?impossible.

The thin man added: "We haven't got any information yet, so it would be great if we could know what happened to your sister."

He habitually glanced at the little girl beside him, then turned his head to look at Sister Jiang Shuang.

Sister Jiang looked at the two of them thoughtfully, then nodded: "Okay, let's come together."

With that said, the three of them planned to act.

The muscular man quickly said, "I'm not going. I plan to go to other places in the apartment building." He looked at the young man who hadn't spoken all this time, "How about you, come with me?"

Shen Yunju's face was cold and indifferent.In the eyes of other taskers, this young man looked too cold and unreasonable.

After coming to the first floor of the apartment building to meet other people, apart from personal information and the first round of nightmare encounters, he never said a single word.

He glanced at the muscular man.

The smile on the muscular man's face gradually disappeared, just when he was dripping with cold sweat and thought his plan had been discovered, Shen Yunju nodded unexpectedly.

The muscular man immediately showed a joyful expression.

His expression was too straightforward, and the thin man couldn't help but look at him strangely, and then at Shen Yunju.He hesitated for a moment, but still said implicitly: "Be careful."

The muscular man didn't think much, nodded and smiled and said, "We will."

Shen Yunju also nodded slightly.

Sister Jiang Shuang and the little girl completely ignored the interaction between the three of them, and went to wait for the elevator, intending to go directly to the 11th floor.The thin man followed them worriedly.

He realized that in this nightmare, the difficulties they encountered were probably not just the nightmare itself.

In the live broadcast room, the audience sighed regretfully: "Oh, they are finished. Why don't they come to the business district?"

"Exploring in the apartment building now, I'm afraid it's not the speed of life and death."

"Look at what this game is called, and then answer this question."

"Okay, it seems that they are trying to fit the essence of this game: 'escape' from birth."

"Actually, it's the same when you come to the commercial area, right? Maybe the fine electrical appliances here are even more dangerous."

"But there is a safe house here!"

"Then they have to find it!"

"? It's you who is the mastermind in the live broadcast room."

"Beibei, what are you thinking? I haven't spoken for a long time."

Xu Beijin was holding the milk tea, blankly in a daze.

In fact, the viewers in the live broadcast room have become accustomed to the quietness and reticence of their anchors.Xu Beijin was often in a daze, but he couldn't tell whether he was thinking or just dazed because of sleepiness.

His sense of participation has not been strong, whether for the audience or for the taskers, he is a little alienated.Of course, he will not reject various proposals from the audience.

It's just... when he was in a quiet daze, the audience could not help but focus on him.

Xu Beijin suddenly regained his senses when his consciousness was empty, and saw the audience's questions in the live broadcast room.He hesitated for a moment, and didn't say anything about his guess about the muscular man, after all, there was no clear evidence for that.

Instead, he said, "I was wondering where the owner of the nightmare is."

"!! Yes, I haven't seen the owner of the nightmare yet."

"Are you hiding somewhere like the little boy before?"

"However, there are so many scenes in this nightmare, how can I find them?"

"I have an idea. If the danger of this nightmare comes from the electrical appliances, then the owner of the nightmare must also be afraid of these things, right? Could he be hiding somewhere without electrical appliances?"

Xu Beijin said thoughtfully, "...the safe house?"

"That's right!"

"It makes sense!"

"Okay, the reasoning master is not here, everyone is a reasoning master."

"Hahahaha, I've won the prize, I've just had a flash of inspiration. If you call me a reasoning master, then I'll be inflated."

Xu Beijin ignored the audience's teasing each other, he subconsciously sat up straight, and said to himself: "The business district and the apartment building, where should he be...? There is a safe house in the business district... No, he should A resident of an apartment building..."

For the inference of the identity of the owner of the nightmare, it is always necessary to combine the scenes of the nightmare.

Once a doll shop appeared in the first nightmare, so the owner of the nightmare must be related to the doll shop.The owner of the second nightmare is just a young boy, but a dark bedroom can hint at anything to do with family.

And in this nightmare, business districts and apartment buildings appear.The host of the nightmare must be related to these two scenes.

He might be a resident of an apartment building, or a merchant in a business district.

It is also possible that he is the property manager of the apartment building, but this possibility is relatively small, because the taskers first appeared in the apartment after they entered the nightmare.

Apartment buildings, plus commercial areas...

A picture appeared in Xu Beijin's mind, that is, the owner of this nightmare, after discovering that there was a problem with the electrical appliances in his apartment, hurriedly fled to the nearby commercial district, but encountered the same trouble in the commercial district.

This is the simplest association.

Of course, there are also some arbitrary connections. For example, the owner of the nightmare is a delivery boy who delivers food from the business district to apartment buildings.

Either way, the question seems to remain unanswered until the owner of the nightmare is found.

Fabulous appliances...Loco Apartments...

Xu Beijin looked deeply at the screen in the live broadcast room, thinking, what does this mean?

It might mean something that made him feel deeply hopeless.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room exclaimed: "They have reached the eleventh floor!"

The taskers came to the eleventh floor, outside the door of 1104.

They knocked on the door for some time, but no one answered.But the door was quiet, and nothing could be heard.Sister Jiang felt a little uncomfortable again, as if someone was staring at her back.

... After coming to this nightmare, this situation happened countless times, and sister Jiang Shuang was almost numb.She couldn't figure out what had happened, what had happened to this apartment building.

She took a deep breath, knocked on the door again, and shouted, "Shuangshuang! I'm my sister! Are you in there?!"

Still no answer.

The thin man said with some embarrassment, "Could she... have left the apartment? And we just missed it?"

This is very possible. After all, there are six elevators on the first floor. They cannot be sure whether Jiang Shuangmei will take another elevator and leave.The most embarrassing situation is that they came up, but Jiang Shuangmei went down.

The little girl said coldly, "Just go and check the elevator."

They walked to the elevator room to see the operation of the elevator.There were six elevators in total, except the one they came up to was on the eleventh floor, one was on the eighth floor, and the other four were on the first floor.

And the elevator on the eighth floor was still slowly going up.

"What's going on?" The thin man murmured in a low voice, "Who came up?"

They wait.Maybe it was Jiang Shuangmei in that elevator, maybe it was Ringo, or maybe it was the muscular man and Shen Yunju who were acting together.

A dozen seconds seemed like a year.

Finally, the elevator dinged and came to the eleventh floor.The elevator door opened slowly.

The three taskers looked into the elevator at the same time.

...and there was no one in the elevator!
