Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

A few minutes later, Jiang Shuangmei and Jiang Shuangmei came to the door of Room 408.

They didn't speak all the way.Jiang Shuangmei was thinking about where the muscular man would put the prop card, while Jiang Shuangmei was completely out of fear.

Although this is only an emergency exit, the stairwell of this high-end apartment building still looks very elegant, brightly lit, and does not have the gloomy feeling of the usual escape exits, and the green escape exit signs do not have the special, fluorescent colors. Eye-catching.

But Jiang Shuangmei somehow felt uncomfortable.

She knew it was because she hadn't escaped from her previous death and fear.At that moment, she suddenly realized that it had been several years since she died in the nightmare last time.

They stopped.A stop is several years.They have almost forgotten the fear and despair they once struggled with in their nightmares.

This is a nightmare...not just the nightmare of the residents of the narrow building, but also the nightmare of their group of mission workers.

Finally, Jiang Shuangmei took a deep breath.She slowly calmed down as she realized that this was not a time for her to be frightened and frightened.In other words, she finally realized where they were.

Here is the nightmare.Even if she was afraid, what was the use?

When she went crazy in the lobby on the first floor just now, the rest of the taskers didn't abandon her because she was in the way, maybe it was because she still had a relatively normal sister.

Jiang Shuangmei lowered her head and smiled wryly, thinking to herself, she is indeed...she is, she is too dependent on her elder sister.

Sister Jiang didn't know anything about her twin sister's psychological activities.Perhaps it should be said that she had some guesses, but she would not really say those things.

Even if they are twin sisters, even if they talk about everything, even if they depend on each other in the narrow building, they are still two independent individuals.Sister Jiang has no desire to control her twin sister, only to protect her.

At this time, she had no time to think about Jiang Shuangmei's emotions.She successfully opened the door of room 408 with the common password.

This made her startled slightly, because she didn't expect it to be so smooth.In the last round of nightmares, when she left her apartment and wanted to go back, she found that even though the fingerprint recognition was successful, the door still refused to let her in.

Is it necessary to use a public password to enter, or... There is something wrong with the smart combination lock of her apartment?

Sister Jiang Shuang was thoughtful, keeping this matter in her heart, then walked in and scanned the apartment carefully.

The layout of this apartment and the 807 where she was located happened to be symmetrical.

She walked into the apartment and searched for it.Sister Jiang Shuang was still frozen at the door, making mental preparations for herself.Sister Jiang didn't urge her, but just searched silently.

Ten seconds later, Jiang Shuangmei finally stepped into the apartment.

At that moment, she seemed to smell the breath of death.

A gaze looked at her the moment she walked into the door.At that moment, Jiang Shuangmei seemed to die again... Her lips trembled, her eyes wandered in this apartment.

This time, which furniture is looking at her? !

Jiang Shuangmei plucked up her courage, her eyes were almost shattered, and she searched carefully in the whole apartment, even ignoring her sister who was still looking for item cards.

Finally, Jiang Shuangmei fixed her eyes on the lamps on the ceiling.

The lamp... just above her head.Shines silently and steadily.It is obviously used for lighting, but at this time, it seems that the light itself is a kind of shadow.

It watched her silently.

There is no such...resentment and hatred that Jiang Shuangmei felt in the 1104 apartment.On the contrary, this lamp emitting warm yellow light seems to be as calm and gentle as the color of the light it emits.

Really... Jiang Shuangmei shook her head fiercely in disbelief.

But that feeling still hasn't dissipated.She still felt that the gaze from the lights even... had a warm feeling.

She shuddered suddenly.

"...Shuangshuang?"

Sister Jiang Shuang turned around and was about to say something, but seeing Jiang Shuangmei's strange expression, she couldn't help asking.

Jiang Shuangmei said fearfully: "Sister... don't you have that... feeling of being watched?"

Sister Jiang hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"How is it possible!" Jiang Shuangmei exclaimed, "Could it only be looking at me?!"

Sister Jiang Shuang walked up to her and stroked her long hair: "Calm down, Shuangshuang. What kind of furniture is it?"

Jiang Shuangmei hesitated for a moment, then looked at the lamps on the ceiling.It was a lamp with a round appearance, like a full moon, or a human eyeball.

Sister Jiang Shuang also looked at the lamp.

She finally said, "If you're really scared, just stand at the door, okay?"

Jiang Shuangmei was a little unconvinced.What her sister meant was that she didn't believe what she said.Maybe Sister Jiang thought that her younger sister was paranoid because of the previous death, and had hallucinations that something was watching her.

After all, Sister Jiang did not feel any gazes.

She sighed a little tiredly in her heart, and didn't know how to comfort Jiang Shuangmei.She stared sideways at the apartment... She had searched the living room carefully, but couldn't find the two item cards.

She guessed that the muscular man would store the two item cards separately.

And this apartment was almost empty, and there wasn't much room to store things.If I have to say...

Jiang Shuangjie walked into the bathroom thoughtfully, looked around, and opened the toilet tank cover.A few seconds later, she reached out and took out a prop card from the bottom of the toilet tank.

She flicked the water off her hands, but smiled smugly.

Hiding in this kind of place...it's not hard to find.

With this in mind, she continued to rummage through the apartment.Kitchen, dining room, bedroom... This time, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find it.

Now the previous complacency completely disappeared, she frowned, thinking a little puzzled.

And Jiang Shuangmei was still frozen at the door.

That gaze... the gaze from above, was still staring at her.You see, after all, human beings cannot see the top of their head, nor can they see their backs.

So, if something is actually looking at the top of your head or your back, you have no idea what the other person is looking at.

Jiang Shuangmei lowered her eyes and shivered.She dared not move or speak to her sister.She seems to have returned to 1104 again.

Although the current gaze is gentle and calm, Jiang Shuangmei doesn't believe it at all.

But... After a long time, in the silence, Jiang Shuangmei moved her stiff legs.

Indeed nothing happened.

She took a deep breath, trembling, and looked up at the lamp.Right above her head, obliquely in front of her, it was shining so brightly.She stared at the lamp.

And the lamp stared at her too.After a long time, there was a hint of urging and encouragement in that gaze.

what?

Jiang Shuangmei's eyes widened, thinking that she was probably crazy.

But a few minutes later, when they took off the lampshade, peeled off the tape, and got the item card stuck to the ceiling, the two sisters looked at each other suspiciously... What is this?

Jiang Shuangmei swallowed her saliva, and said stiffly: "It...he, is he reminding us?"

Sister Jiang put the lampshade back and gently wiped the dust for him.

Afterwards, she said: "This shows that even if the furniture is perfect, there are good and bad." She was silent for a moment, "Is there any facility in this apartment building that can talk? Maybe we can..."

They looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly said in unison: "Elevator!"

The two sisters rushed out of Room 408 at the same pace.But there was no elevator stopping on the fourth floor at this time, so they chose to run back to the first floor to find the elevator.

The moment they reached the first floor...

Nightmare, reboot.

Sister Jiang opened her eyes again in Room 807, and immediately cursed: "Fuck! What's going on!"

Rewinding the time 10 minutes, the perspective of the live broadcast room followed the thin man and his party to the business district.

At this moment, the muscular man didn't know where he had gone, and the remaining questers split into two groups, all the way to find their lost item card, and all the way to leave the apartment building.

Xu Beijin chose to focus the view of the live broadcast room on the three people, the thin man, the little girl, and Shen Yunju. A large part of the reason was that he still cared about Shen Yunju's strange expression towards the business district before.

And after they walked around the apartment building without finding anything, after they decided to go to the business district, that strange expression appeared on Shen Yunju's face again.

He seemed to feel that something unreasonable and terrifying was approaching him, so he was terrified and showed a terrified expression, but he had to keep calm, otherwise, the monster might charge towards him.

At first the thin man and the little girl were discussing other things worryingly, especially about this nightmare.

They now know what happened in the nightmare, but they haven't found out where the owner of the nightmare is, and they don't know how to play the ending of the nightmare.

The thin man couldn't help sighing: "If I knew it wasn't an empty house..."

Just like Ringo, they actually thought that the room next to Xu Beijin was empty.

The previous resident of the narrow building moved out a few days ago, but who would have thought that a new resident of the narrow building would move in so soon without anyone knowing?

As a result, they are forced to face this nightmare.

"Be careful." The little girl said coldly, "Besides, about this nightmare... I seem to have heard something."

The thin man's eyes lit up, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Yunju, he wanted to see the distance between the other party and the two of them, to see if the little girl could tell what she knew directly, but he happened to catch a glimpse of Shen Yunju's face , the fear that never dissipated.

Shen Yunju was still in a trance, even the thin man didn't notice the change in his expression.

The thin man hesitated.

They walked to the entrance of the business district at this time, only a few meters away from entering.

The thin man asked: "...Are you okay?"

Shen Yunju was looking up at the electronic screen of the building in the business district, and he made a hoarse voice: "No..."

Both the thin man and the little girl were taken aback.

Shen Yunju smiled wryly: "I'm not well."

The thin man considered his words: "Uh... If it's related to nightmares... Of course we don't necessarily want you..."

Shen Yunju looked up at the building in the business district, and said in a dreamlike voice, "I've been here before."

Both the thin man and the little girl were stunned.

In front of the screen in the live broadcast room, Xu Beijin even showed a slightly shocked expression.He glanced at the barrage, and found that the audience was asking whether this young man had this nightmare before... However, Xu Beijin was a little anxious.

Obviously, what Shen Yunju was talking about was not a nightmare or a narrow building, but...

"...Earth." Shen Yunju said, "On Earth, I have been here before."

Even the audience in the live broadcast room were shocked: "Wow! What do you mean?"

"It means that the art of this game is too perfunctory! You actually use the buildings on the earth as a game, copyright infringement warning!"

"Is this considered a physical cheat [dog head]"

"As an ordinary player, I despise this kind of cheating behavior...Please ask the game company to see the buildings I have been to!!"

The audience continued to laugh and laugh, completely unaware of what Shen Yunju was implying.

Xu Beijin felt very grateful.

Fortunately for him, the big reasoner didn't watch this live broadcast.

If you are a reasoning master, facing this kind of "game that only the anchor can play", combined with what other players in the game said, "I have encountered the scenery in the game on earth", I am afraid that I can instantly think of it. A lot of things.

At least that's the case for Xu Beijin.

His eyes flickered, staring at the young man in the picture... He thought, this is impossible.

"...This is impossible!" The thin man retorted loudly almost instantly, as if stung by a wasp, "How could there be buildings on earth in the nightmare?!"

Even the little girl who had been cold and calm couldn't help twisting her expression, and murmured something in a low voice.

Shen Yunju sneered involuntarily.He just said that when he was on earth, he came to such a business district.He hadn't said that he couldn't find in his memory the source of this familiar feeling.

He's sure he's been here, but he can't think of anything more.He was sure... There was something wrong with his memory.

But he dared not say it.

He neither dared to face the problem nor shared his gains with others.Because everyone knows that the mastermind NE is watching them anytime and anywhere.

There have always been some rumors in the narrow building, some of which can even be called conspiracy theories.Of course, there are some things about the main brain NE.

In those rumors, there is always a mastermind behind the scenes, and NE is the method used by the mastermind behind the scenes to monitor them.

Although NE is just an artificial intelligence, it is still a question of whether it will have such a cognition of helping others, but the mastermind does pay attention to everything that happens in the nightmare all the time.

For a moment, Shen Yunju almost revealed his memory problem.He couldn't bear such a huge and terrifying truth by himself, so he wanted to share it.Anyway, don't let him face the truth alone.

However, fear made him abandon the idea.

For him now, no matter whether he speaks out or not, it seems that it will bring about some particularly terrible endings.In the end, he chose to say part of it.

And that other part, one day, might drive him crazy.

Xu Beijin looked deeply at this young man with a stiff expression and a pale complexion.He thought, what does he know?If he had told all he knew, why was he acting so frightened?

In addition, as the audience in the live broadcast room said, what if this commercial area is just a map made by the game to imitate a certain place in the real world and to be lazy?Maybe it's just that?

This is a very simple conclusion to draw.After all, they all know that this is just a game.

So... why is Shen Yunju still so scared?

Now the thin man and the little girl were led away by Shen Yunju's words. They might think that the narrow building is part of the game world, but the nightmare brought them back to the earth instead.

But they soon realize that nightmares are of course part of the game.

Sure enough, just as Xu Bei had imagined, after the initial shock, the thin man calmed down, and he said, "It's just a scene, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the... that place in reality."

The little girl couldn't help but nodded: "The scenes in the nightmare are originally in the style of the earth, and it's normal for you to think they resemble each other."

"Is that so..." Shen Yunju responded with a dazed expression.

The thin man and the little girl frowned unconsciously.

The little girl is not very good at comforting others, but the thin man still said to him: "Brother, the most important thing for us now is to solve this nightmare, not... think about other things." He sighed, "Although this It's not nice to say, but... What's the use of worrying about that?"

Shen Yunju stared at him for a while, and then showed a blunt smile: "Yes... yes... there is no point in entangled with these."

It's just that he felt like he was going crazy.

The thin man thought he didn't think so much anymore, so he nodded at him, and the three of them walked into the building in front of them together.

As soon as he walked in, the thin man couldn't help sighing: "It's so lively."

The warm air in the bustling business district makes people want to sleep as soon as they enter.The people who came to hang out crowded shoulder to shoulder, as if they brought the three missionaries back to the former earth in an instant.

But the little girl looked at these people blankly and said, "How do we find someone who can provide us with information from so many people?"

Thin man: "..."

This is really a big problem.

Xu Beijin propped his chin and smiled silently.

The last nightmare, if it wasn't because someone had been to that nightmare before, it would be a bit difficult for the taskers to find Dai Wu from the service area.And that's just a dozen or twenty actors.

As for here?

There are at least a few hundred performers in the business district, and most of them are group performers like Xu Beijin who don't know anything about nightmares.

This difficulty is too high.

Soon, the thin man also thought of this, and he said: "It is impossible for the mastermind to give unsolvable problems. Perhaps, the focus is not on the residents of these narrow buildings."

The little girl nodded in agreement.

The thin man glanced at Shen Yunju, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Shall we search separately? You are in charge of the underground, and we are in charge of the above-ground part?"

Shen Yunju nodded slowly.

So they separated.But when Shen Yunju left, the thin man and the little girl did not rush to search, the thin man asked her: "What you said just now, you have heard some news... What is it?"

The little girl nodded and replied, "This nightmare seems to have appeared on the ground floor of the narrow building a few years ago."

The thin man was taken aback.

Although he and the little girl in front of him are companions, they also just became partners not long ago.Before that, they didn't even know each other.

Therefore, when the thin man heard the little girl talk about the ground floor of the narrow building a few years ago, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.After all, a few years ago, he was on a higher floor.

The little girl said: "You may not be very clear." She knew the thin man's experience in the narrow building. "At that time, there was a bookstore owner who caused a commotion in the narrow building."

In front of the live broadcast room, Xu Bei was taken aback for a moment.He never imagined that this matter could be brought to his head.

He smiled wryly, and once again felt sincerely that the arrival of the live broadcast system made him understand the place he lived in again.

narrow building...

He sighed secretly.

The little girl continued: "At that time, in order to enter his nightmare, the taskers used all kinds of methods like crazy, including of course...trying to start from his neighbors. Some taskers just talked to her, But some missionaries directly entered her nightmare."

Neighbors... Xu Beijin suddenly thought that in the last nightmare, Mu Jiashi also mentioned his neighbors.

...Yes, a few years ago, when the missionaries were flocking to his nightmares, his neighbor had always been the female cosplayer, and it hadn't changed.

And it seems that right after that incident, after the tasker gradually lost interest in his nightmare, the actor left the bottom floor of the narrow building.

Xu Beijin recalled for a while, and then confirmed that it was the actor.

Wait, if so...

A trace of confusion appeared on Xu Beijin's face.

And the thin man couldn't help asking after hearing what the little girl said: "You mean, this nightmare is the nightmare of the bookstore owner's neighbor?"

"Furniture is fine..." The little girl repeated this feature in a low voice, then nodded, "Yes."

The thin man was at a loss for a moment: "But, I remember the nightmare of the bookstore owner's neighbor next door, it's not this..."

"The first one," said the little girl, "was a woman. After her nightmare had its true ending, she moved away, like the other residents of the Narrow House. Then it was the man you remember. And then, this The male residents of the narrow building also moved out..."

The thin man answered, "Then that woman moved back?" He couldn't help laughing, "Can this still go back and forth?"

The little girl shook her head: "Who knows?"

The thin man stopped dwelling on this question, and instead said, "So, do you know anything about her nightmare?"

They began to walk around the first floor of the business district, observing the shops and the residents of the narrow buildings around them.

"All I know is that it doesn't seem to be just a matter of making the furniture perfect." The little girl said thoughtfully, "The taskers who entered this nightmare didn't disclose a lot of information, but...they lost their staff."

"Reduced staff?"

"Even if the normal ending is played and you can leave the nightmare...some missionaries still disappear, as if...you understand."

The thin man was silent.

He knew that little girl meant "eternal crumbling nightmare."They generally don't want to mention the phrase, because they have some company, get lost in it, and never come back.

The thin man took a deep breath and murmured, "But...how is this possible?"

Even though he had achieved the normal ending, he was still lost in the nightmare of eternal collapse?How can this be?

That's... an eternal collapse.

The little girl was about to say something, when suddenly, they noticed that the people around them started whispering, showing expressions of fear and uneasiness.From the underground floor, there were several roars and screams.

They looked at each other and realized almost immediately that something happened to Shen Yunju!

However, it was too late for them to act, because, just in the next second, their eyes went dark.

The nightmare has restarted.

Shen Yunju opened his eyes in horror, subconsciously took two steps back, and fell on the sofa with a horrifying expression and dilated pupils, as if he was deeply trapped in an extremely terrifying nightmare.
