Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

The empty elevator stopped alone on the eleventh floor.

"What are you doing..." the thin man said subconsciously, but after seeing the expressions of the two ladies beside him, he silently swallowed back the next words.

The little girl's always cold expression also fluctuated a little, revealing an expression of surprise that was caught off guard.

Sister Jiang Shuang took a big step back in fright.

The reason why they were so excited was because when the elevator door opened, a pair of eyes looked at them at the same time.It was as if the elevator doors were his eyelids and he opened them.

The elevator doors stayed open for a long time without closing, as if to let them go up.This situation seemed extremely strange, and the three missionaries all chose to retreat cautiously.

Besides...they didn't even dare to take another elevator.

"What should we do now?" said the thin man, and he looked at room 1104 again, "Your sister...don't know where she is either."

Sister Jiang frowned and murmured, "Yes... where is she?"

Where is Jiang Shuangmei?

For this question, the audience in the live broadcast room can answer.

"My dear mother, I'm so anxious...your sister is in 1104!!!"

Yes, Jiang Shuangmei is at 1104.The reason she didn't answer the door was because she was trapped.

She was locked in the bedroom.

This seemingly ordinary room, which is only a bedroom of about ten square meters, is filled with a strange atmosphere at the moment.Jiang Shuangmei wrapped herself in the quilt, shivering.

She felt that her cold feet had begun to stiffen, and she didn't know whether it was from fear or from the cold.

Because it's really cold.

It may be an autumn night, the temperature outside is about [-] degrees, but the central air conditioner in the room is automatically turned on, but the temperature is set at [-] degrees in cooling mode, no matter how she adjusts the temperature on the wall None of the keys work.

...It's really cold.

She can't get out of this bedroom because the door is locked.Considering that there may be shared renting, in order to ensure the safety of the tenants, the property of Loko Apartment has set up an electronic combination lock for each bedroom.

And now, the combination lock locked her in the bedroom.

She thought about opening the window, but this nightmare probably wouldn't allow her to escape the bedroom in this way.She also thought about destroying the door directly, but she didn't find any usable items in the bedroom.

In the end, she had to admit that she didn't have the quick mind of her sister.Jiang Shuangmei, who was shivering from the cold, wrapped herself in the quilt.

That gaze... was still looking at her.This time from the top.She already knew that there was something wrong with the furniture in this room, but there was nothing she could do...

Is it possible to let her fight wits with the air conditioner installed in the wall? !

Jiang Shuangmei fell into despair.She faintly heard something outside, but she couldn't leave this bedroom at all.If she gets out of the quilt, she will freeze to death.

The air conditioner seems to be using the remaining refrigerant with all its strength. The cold air blown from the air outlet makes people think of the whistling north wind in the cold winter months. It is not enough to blow people into ice sculptures.

Jiang Shuangmei didn't even dare to stretch her hands out of the quilt.

At the beginning of the second round of the nightmare, Jiang Shuangmei was still immersed in the fear of suffocating to death.She was in the bedroom at first, and after spending a little time calming down her fears, she found herself locked away.

Of course she wants to leave!

Of course she would like to escape from this apartment, or even, this apartment building, if she could.

She already knew where the danger of this nightmare was.She wanted to tell her sister...but, she couldn't seem to do it.This round of nightmare... Is she going to die again?Or even a new way of dying?Frozen to death by the air conditioner at home?

She was dizzy, and the excessive fear and panic made her brain freeze even more.While thinking in a panic, what to do, what to do, she wrapped herself in the quilt like an ostrich.

This is the first time she has entered the nightmare again after a few years.And it was the first time she left her sister and faced a nightmare alone.

She thought, what a waste she is.

She curled up into a ball, crying hoarsely under the quilt.She cursed this world, this narrow building, cursed human beings, cursed everything...everything she could think of.

She cried hoarsely, as if the shadow of death was still floating around her.She was crying so hard that people wondered if she was going to die in the next second, so she wanted to cry to her heart's content.

She didn't know how long it had passed... until her throat became hoarse, and she suddenly felt hot.

She was already sweating profusely under the covers.

what……? !

She jerked over and sat up.At some point, the air conditioner stopped running, and even the door of the bedroom was opened a little.

She can go out now!

But... why?Why... just because she was crying? ?Damn, how is this possible? !

Jiang Shuangmei sat there, dumbfounded, with tears in her eyes, and her eyes were still red and swollen.But she can leave the damn bedroom now!

She stood up in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to think more, and ran out the door in a stumbling manner.After leaving the bedroom, she didn't even dare to look back, nor did she dare to look at the bathroom with the half-open door.

She left her apartment directly.

Then, she saw the empty hallway.

Sister Jiang Shuang had already left the eleventh floor with the thin man and the little girl.

After knocking on the door for a long time without any response, Sister Jiang could only think that Sister Jiang had indeed left the apartment, but failed to join them.

Because of the inexplicably empty elevator just now, the three of them didn't dare to take the elevator anymore, so they could only take the stairs.

The thin man suggested: "In this case, why don't we explore the whole apartment building? You see, there are stairs on both sides of each floor. We can go down the whole floor and go through the whole floor." , go around to the opposite staircase.

"In this way, I can just take a look at the situation of this apartment building. If possible, I will also meet up with other taskers and Boss Ringo."

As he spoke, he carefully glanced at Sister Jiang Shuang.

Sister Jiang Shuang had no objection to this, she was still thinking about her sister with worry.

She realized that she might have spoiled her younger sister too much, to the point that...she didn't know if Jiang Shuangmei would be able to survive the nightmare alone if she left her.

Sister Jiang could not help feeling regretful.

However, the two of them depended on each other and trusted each other, and Jiang Shuangmei was the kind of lazy and unwilling to use her brain. In this case, how could Jiang Shuangmei not take care of her younger sister?

The only thing I regret is that I didn't cultivate my sister's ability to survive independently.

She was still thinking secretly, so she didn't listen to the thin man's words very carefully, and nodded absently.

The thin man also breathed a sigh of relief.Although it was said that the muscular man might be a card dealer, but...they had never met each other, and Sister Jiang had no proof, so he didn't know who to trust.

In other words, he wished that no one would believe him.

However, the nightmare came to the second round, and they still didn't get any information.The only possible source is the tasker who died in the last round—and that is most likely Sister Jiang's younger sister!

This is the reason why the skinny man is willing to deal with Jiang Shuangjie, otherwise, he might treat Jiang Shuangjie at a respectful distance just like he treats a muscular man.

In any case, at this time, the three of them began to walk down the stairs on the eleventh floor and began to explore floor by floor.

At this time, the screen in the live broadcast room was divided into four.

The three people walking up the stairs, Jiang Shuangmei who just left the apartment, the muscular man and Shen Yunju who searched from the first floor, and... Ringo.

The rest of the workers thought that Ringo was still in the apartment building.Many people know that Ringo has a lazy personality, and even in a nightmare, he can not move his nest without moving.

Sometimes, some taskers thought, this boss is simply sorry for his strength.

Countless taskers are looking forward to possessing the strength value of Ringo, and then...whatever, whether it is lawlessness in the narrow building, or doing whatever they want in the nightmare, there is always something to do.

But Ringo... Ringo is like an ascetic.

It's strange that others say that he has a brain problem.

He has such a strong force value, but he still completes the nightmare step by step, and he doesn't go to the higher floors, he just hangs around at the bottom - just like some missionaries said, he is completely abusing vegetables.

Other questers couldn't understand his behavior.As for Ringo, it seems that he never explained it.

Xu Bei knew that Ringo was not interested in nightmares, or even narrow buildings.Now he knows, this may be because Ringo has no memory about the earth at all.

He didn't know where he came from, he was born in the narrow building from the beginning, naturally, he would not want to leave the narrow building.

Moreover, he possessed such a force value that he could live comfortably even in a narrow building.

He is the uncrowned king on the bottom floor of the narrow building—meaning, just look at some of the clothes he is wearing, which are all sent over by some daily necessities merchants after a while.

Although Lingo didn't express anything, but in the nightmare, if he met those daily necessities merchants or other people who fawned on him, if the other party proved his identity, then Lingo would not hesitate to provide a little help.

It is in this situation of mutual benefit that Ringo can become the uncrowned king at the bottom of the narrow building.

But... Recently, Ringo seems to have undergone some changes.

Xu Beijin looked at Lin Po who had voluntarily left the apartment building, and thought in his heart.

Lin Po, who took the initiative to leave the apartment building, happened to avoid the sight of the muscular man and Shen Yunju who were also on the first floor.He circled aimlessly around the apartment building.

He seemed to be looking for something, but found nothing.Later, he found out that he could leave the area of ​​the apartment building, and after going to the business district, he immediately walked over here.

His intentions were clearly revealed, and Xu Bei couldn't help but be curious—what is Ringo looking for?

But at this moment, there are simply too many things Xu Bei wants to be curious about.

In almost each of the four screens, the taskers have their own different experiences happening, which dazzles Xu Bei.

The audience is already wailing: "Why do I only have two eyes!"

"Why can't my two eyes separate to see two images!"

"Help, I'm starting to miss Beigui."

"Beibei, please adjust the camera. I won't complain about missing some players' information when there is only one screen, woo woo woo."

Yes, although if there is only one scene in the live broadcast room, some information will be missed, but...but if every scene is placed on the screen of the live broadcast room, they will not be able to see it at all!

In the first hour of the nightmare before, the taskers were all doing the same thing, so the audience even became bored.But now, the taskers began to scatter and explore everywhere, and the audience felt that their eyes were not enough.

Looking at the screen full of "Please Beibei focus on one scene" barrage, Xu Beijin felt embarrassed.To be honest, he doesn't know which scene is more important now.

As for Ringo, he didn't know if Ringo would find him—maybe?He was really afraid of Ringo's overly keen intuition.

On Jiang Shuangmei's side, she just walked into the elevator and absently pressed the first floor—what if the elevator is a thing of the past?

Sister Jiang, the thin man, and the little girl seemed a little calmer—but they were walking through every corner of the apartment building in a sweeping manner.If something is missed, it is truly missed.

The muscular man and Shen Yunju are on the same side as the three above—and Xu Beijin and the audience all know that this muscular man is a card dealer.What if he wants to steal Shen Yunju's item card?

For a while, Xu Beijin was in a dilemma.

Fortunately, he will not need to be embarrassed soon.

Because Ringo actually found him.

...it's only a few minutes!

Xu Beijin saw on the screen of Ringo that this guy actually went directly to the open-air square on the basement level... It doesn't make sense!How could he know that he was here.

Xu Bei couldn't figure it out.

However, he still subconsciously selected one of the scenes, the muscular man and Shen Yunju's side, enlarged it, and then hid the rest of the scenes.The audience didn't realize that he actually chose one at random in order to cover up the fact that Ringo came to him.

Within seconds, Ringo appeared outside his bookstore.

When he saw Xu Beijin, he even waved his hand in surprise, then walked into the bookstore and said, "You are here. I was worried that you were not here."

Before Xu Beijin had time to marvel at Lin Po's extraordinary intuition, he was aroused by his words: "Wait, are you looking for me?"

"You can put it this way." Ringo rubbed his chin and said, "I just want to remind you, there are two people... wait a minute, after leaving the nightmare, do you still remember this?"

"I remember." Xu Bei said kindly, "What two people?"

Lin Po nodded, not surprised why Xu Beijin could still remember what happened in the nightmare after leaving the nightmare—is there anything wrong with the residents of the narrow building?The mission workers have seen many strange residents of narrow buildings, and Lingo doesn't think it's strange.

He said: "There are two people, walking around outside your house."

Xu Beijin was stunned, and he asked back in surprise, "You mean... in the narrow building?"

"Yes." Ringo said.

Xu Beijin immediately felt strange.

Why are there two people milling around outside his bookstore?Why did Ringo know about this?The most important thing is... Why did Ringo look for him in the nightmare, and then tell him about it?

In an instant, various questions came to my mind.

Xu Beijin sighed, feeling tired.He pinched his nose and said, "Come on little by little. When did you see those two people?"

Lingo didn't feel impatient either, and replied quite honestly: "During the day, I finished reading that book in one sitting and wanted to return it to you, so I came to look for you, and then I saw two people outside your house."

Xu Beijin continued to look at him.

Lingo explained in a little more detail: "Two people, a thin man and a young girl. They wandered outside your house for a while, and then entered the portal of your neighbor's house.

"I remember the residents of the Narrow House next door to you had moved out, thinking it was an empty house. Maybe they'd talk about the reason for coming over in the house, just go with it.

"But I didn't expect that a new narrow building resident had already moved in, so I entered this nightmare. I thought you were next door, and maybe you would appear in this nightmare, so I came to look for you. But mainly to find Those two people."

Lingo explained the ins and outs of the whole matter, and after finishing speaking, he recalled it carefully, then nodded, and said complacently, "That's right."

He seems to be very proud of his memory.

Xu Beijin looked at him helplessly.

He casually pushed the milk tea he bought before to Lin Po, and said friendly, "Thank you for your reminder. Do you want milk tea? I have never had this cup before. It's delicious."

Lingo glanced at him in astonishment, hesitated for a moment, and then took it over.He hesitated for a while, but still didn't say what was in his heart, feeling that it was a bit inappropriate.

His idea is - as expected of you.

While drinking milk tea, he looked at Xu Beijin.A novel idea grew in his heart, and this idea may have gradually appeared in his heart since he visited Xu Beijin's house not long ago.

He wondered curiously, what is this guy—this narrow building resident like?Why...why is he so normal?

Just like those previous taskers, Lingo also became curious because of some special features of Xu Beijin.The difference is that Lin Po is not interested in Xu Beijin's nightmare at all.

Instead, he thought of something else.

He thought, before Xu Beijin said they were friends.If... In that case, can he ask directly?Some things about Xu Beijin's living habits.

Anyway, he didn't want to make Xu Bei unhappy.After all, he still wanted to fight him, and wanted to know who was stronger and who was weaker.

However, apart from fighting, Xu Beijin seemed to have aroused some other interests in him.

Ling Po was sitting on a chair at the door of the bookstore, tilting his head, biting the plastic straw of milk tea, watching Xu Beijin quietly.

He thought, why is Xu Beijin different from other Zhailou residents?

He knew that the narrow building, or at least the various scenes, stories, etc. in the nightmare, were all based on the human beings on Earth.The rest of the taskers also know it.

However, Xu Beijin's habits, this... attitude towards life in the narrow building are different from the human beings in the narrow building he has come into contact with.Why, is he even more human than the tasker?

Will this be NE's setting?Is the background of the game?

Is that the way of life that Ringo has forgotten, that still belongs to the earth, but no longer belongs to the narrow building?

If he continues to be in contact with Xu Beijin, is it possible for him to recover his past memories?But...is that still him?The one who lost his memory now, or the one who still has the memory of the earth, which one is he?

...Which one is the friend that Xu Beijin admits?

Ringo pondered.

Xu Bei had no idea what Lin Po was thinking.If he knew, then he might stop Ringo's various thoughts, because he felt that he seemed to have brought some unexpected influence to Ringo.

He didn't know that Ringo, who had never been interested in anything, not even nightmares or narrow buildings, would suddenly become interested in his lost memory related to the earth because of some intersections with himself.

He even became curious about Xu Beijin himself.

This kind of curiosity, in a peaceful environment, is probably a good thing, and it may even give birth to some special hormones.However, in a dark and gloomy place like the Narrow Building, it was hard to tell whether this was a positive emotion or a negative emotion.

Xu Beijin doesn't really want others to be curious about him.

But at this moment, Xu Beijin was still thinking about what Lin Po said, so he didn't notice Lin Po's expression at all.

... The thin man and the little girl?

Lin Po said that he followed these two people into the nightmare, and these two images almost immediately made Xu Beijin correspond to the two missionaries in the nightmare.

But it was useless to find the corresponding person, Xu Bei couldn't understand why someone would wander around outside his house.

A long time ago, the missionaries' curiosity about him had been exhausted.Xu Bei tried his best to live a quiet life for several years, but one day, people's curiosity about his nightmares revived? ?

Xu Beijin felt that something was wrong.

He himself still looks half asleep and has dark circles under his eyes every day. It doesn't look like he is going to sleep, let alone plan to open up his nightmare.

Sometimes he would go out for a walk, if a missioner ran into him at that time, he should also know his current state, so as not to rekindle his curiosity about his nightmare.

Xu Beijin first ruled out his doubts about himself.

Then, he began to think about what would make the taskers interested in him recently...

Then...then he looked at Lingo.

...Yeah, why did he ignore Ringo?

Lingo is essentially the uncrowned king at the bottom of the narrow building... This sentence means that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, even though Lingo does not have this self-knowledge, and others dare not provoke Lingo.

Under such circumstances, Ringo suddenly began to collect drinks, and even visited a resident of the narrow building... This kind of thing may have already spread among some people in the narrow building.

You see, in the last nightmare, didn't Ding Yi use this matter to make some deals with Ringo?

Who knows who sent those two people?But its purpose is quite clear, most likely to find out about the relationship between Xu Beijin and Ringo.

Xu Beijin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, because he never thought that getting involved with Lingo would bring so much trouble.

Not only his troubles, but also Ringo's troubles.

Lin Po, a fool, probably didn't realize it at all... But, Xu Beijin thought angrily, he didn't even think of this, he was really stupid.

Is it really because of the stagnant life these past few years that his mind has become dull and numb?

However, if he was asked to go back to the previous moment, and asked him to refuse Lin Biao's request to visit... Xu Beijin couldn't bear it either.From a certain point of view, he has lived alone in the narrow building for so many years, and he really longs for some normal people's communication methods.

Like make a friend... or something.

And Lingo is the only one, or at least the only one Xu Beijin has met, who is not interested in his nightmares.This point is too important to Xu Beijin.

Of course, it is impossible to fight, and it is impossible to fight in this life.

Xu Beijin pondered, thinking about how to solve this trouble.But he didn't actually confirm that those two people came here because of Lin Biao, and it's not good to be wronged.

...Speaking of which, this nightmare really gathered a lot of things by accident.

The card dealer, the two guys who were peeping into his house... and that young man with a strange look at the business district.

Until now, Xu Beijin still has a heart for that expression.Borrowing a sentence from Ringo, he intuitively felt that there seemed to be some secret hidden under that young man's strange expression.

He fell into thinking, and when he thought about it, he felt dizzy and tired.

At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a lot of barrage floating on the screen of the live broadcast room.

"Damn! Is this guy trying to steal again!"
