Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

What the little girl said has become a reality.

It is true that some missionaries disappeared for no reason, and after being killed by the facility of becoming a spirit.

……scapegoat?

The viewers in the live broadcast room haven't discovered this yet, and even if they found out, they would probably think that it was just the player who forcibly quit the nightmare.

Besides, the tragic death of the muscular man and his nightmare experience of "getting nothing" probably made him quit the game in extreme fear and anger.For the audience, this seems to be a common thing.

But Xu Bei knew that things were of course not that simple.

Disappearing... In the narrow building, it is almost equivalent to sinking into the nightmare of eternal collapse.But this nightmare did not collapse, it was just that some missionaries disappeared.

In those rumors, in the nightmare of eternal collapse, what happened in the recurring nightmare will continue to be repeated.Taskers will fall into madness in the infinite cycle of death, resurrection, and death again.

They will not be able to escape this nightmare, and they will fall into the abyss along with the nightmare.They will become the real walking dead, never able to escape the established fate.

It's like a bunch of discarded data caught in a bug, which can only become junk data that is despised by the mastermind NE in the online world.

Fine furniture...

Xu Bei thought to himself, did those missionaries who disappeared really become scapegoats, trapped in the furniture forever?Unless someone comes to replace him?

He felt a chill down his spine.After pondering for a while, he fixed the main perspective to Jiang Shuangjie, but a small window was framed in the lower right corner, and the content was not his side, but the elevator that killed the muscular man.

Xu Beijin's behavior aroused a little curiosity from the audience, and his explanation was: "This elevator killed people in the last round, and I want to see how it will behave in this round. I was wondering if he did it on purpose. Murderer."

The audience was immediately taken away by his thoughts: "I think so!"

"They all deliberately hit their heads on the ground... I think so!"

"Ah, it's so scary! I decided not to take the elevator today or tomorrow!"

"There will be surveillance cameras watching you silently on the stairs... (demon whispers)"

"Ah, ah, shut up! Your lights are staring at you right above your head!"

"... Qiuqiu, I'm really timid, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight..."

"bed……"

"...Refused. I don't believe that he can become a genius if he is not connected to electricity or connected to the Internet."

"I remember, before who made a wish to become a woman in bed and become her boyfriend?"

"I was wrong! I must find a living person to be my boyfriend!"

Xu Beijin couldn't help but laugh.

On the screen of the live broadcast room, the elevator was still on the eighth floor, not moving.That's where the muscular man got on the elevator.Xu Beijin doubted whether the muscular man would become this elevator, and it seemed impossible to get an answer in the short term.

He looked at the situation of the rest of the taskers, and found that they were all peacefully staying in the apartment, waiting for the first hour to pass.

So, Xu Beijin stood up, planning to start his own walking tour again.He didn't leave the bookstore during the last round of nightmares, and spent more than an hour sleepily.This time, he decided not to fight against himself, it's better to go out and relax.

It has to be said that Xu Beijin's mood has been very dull all year round. When encountering such a lively scene, it is also a good thing to be able to go out for a walk, so as to dispel the loneliness in his heart.

The angle of view in the live broadcast room was still facing the missionaries and the murder elevator, not Xu Beijin.He glanced at it from time to time so as not to miss any important information.

But he was really absent-minded.A few minutes later, he was already holding a cup of milk tea in his left hand and a cup of milk tea in his right hand.

When he went to line up again, his co-star co-star couldn't help giving him a strange look, but he still let him buy two cups of milk tea for nothing, which made Xu Beijin very happy.

For a moment, he was even glad that he was the actor instead of the tasker.

If it was a tasker, then these actors who played the role of shop assistants would not give him milk tea so easily.Well... except for Ringo.

The actors are also very bullying.

He was walking back and forth in the business district, and when he passed a hot pot restaurant, he suddenly saw a big bald man sitting alone at the table, sweating profusely with a distorted expression, eating the dishes in the hot pot.

This hot pot restaurant has a semi-open design, and tourists outside can directly see the scene inside.

Xu Bei looked at the narrow building resident curiously.

The bald man noticed his gaze, so he took the initiative to say hello.

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, walked up to him, and asked a little confused: "Don't you like spicy hotpot...?"

"I like it..." The bald man feebly stuffed food into his mouth, "Damn!"

Xu Bei was at a loss.

"Brother, I'm so miserable." The bald man burst into tears, "He was arranged to eat hot pot by NE, but the group of taskers kept restarting the nightmare, and I was fucking trapped here and ate four How many hours of hot pot! I'm about to vomit!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

The bald man said desperately: "And I can't eat spicy food! Shit NE...kill me!!"

Xu Bei stopped talking as much as he wanted, and finally he raised the undrinked milk tea in his hand and said, "Drink it, relieve the spicy."

The bald man: "..."

Thank you so much.

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, and handed him the milk tea.

The bald-headed man was not polite, took a drink and asked Xu Beijin to sit opposite him.

It's hard to give up the hospitality, so Xu Beijin also started to eat hot pot.

Xu Beijin: "..."

He felt in a trance that he had really returned to Earth.In a commercial area, I ran into a Zilaishu who was eating hot pot alone. They had a good chat, so they ate hot pot together.

However, despite the steaming hot pot soup in front of my eyes, despite the bustle of people coming and going around me... this is a nightmare after all.

In the end, he thought of Dai Wu's smiling words instead.This is their second life, he said.

Even though it's a game, it's a nightmare, but it can also become a second life...?

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of cabbage.In an instant, he was so hot that his eyes filled with tears, and the bald man laughed loudly: "Brother, you are better than me!"

...Xu Beijin discovered that both Dai Wu and the bald man in front of him liked to call him "brother".Is this the way of saying hello?

The bald man took the initiative to introduce himself and said, "My name is Wei Lezhang, happy Le, chapter of the article."

"Xu Beijin." Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, imitating Wei Lezhang and said, "The north of the north is the end of the end."

Wei Lezhang sighed casually: "Hey, your name is quite interesting."

Xu Beijin smiled embarrassedly.

Wei Lezhang is a carefree, rough and casual man.Compared with Dai Wu's half-truth and half-fake casual attitude, Wei Lezhang is always more indifferent when it comes to nightmares, narrow buildings, masterminds, etc.

He said, "None of my business. As long as the mastermind doesn't throw me into this nightmare and make me eat hot pot for more than four hours, I will be thankful!"

Xu Bei never moved his chopsticks very much, but occasionally took two bites.He said, "It's better than making furniture..."

As he spoke, he was startled suddenly.

He just said it casually as a joke, responding to Wei Lezhang's words with some elements of this nightmare, but he suddenly thought of another thing.

Chengjing's furniture... Could it be played by the actors?

Before he had time to think about it, Wei Lezhang said, "Oh, you know that too?"

Xu Beijin blinked his eyes.

Wei Lezhang betrayed his friend casually: "Let me tell you, I know a cosplayer who is so old that he serves as a toilet in this nightmare."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He felt sick to his stomach.

Wei Lezhang instead laughed: "In short, as long as he enters this nightmare, I won't want to see him for three days."

Xu Bei glanced at the red hot pot, and silently put down his chopsticks.

Wei Lezhang continued without self-knowledge: "However, anyway, I don't know how to eat and drink in the narrow building, I just feel like I'm turning into a toilet... Hahahaha, it's miserable and funny!"

Xu Bei thought with all his heart, I'm afraid you don't know that there is a tasker...

Forget it.

What do you think about while eating?

He changed the subject smoothly: "So this nightmare, someone really played those furniture?"

"Yes." Wei Lezhang obviously didn't regard Xu Beijin as an outsider, "It's just the actor I know. He told me that in this nightmare, there is something else... the Internet that allows them, who play furniture, to interact with each other. Communication can also flow.

"But for him, at most, it flows from this toilet to that toilet... Hahahaha, how pitiful."

He said "what a pity" in a "fun" tone.

"But it seems that it's not just the actors." Wei Lezhang said again, "There are also task players."

Xu Beijin was stunned: "Tasker?"

"It's... something like a nightmare of eternal collapse." Wei Lezhang explained, "I don't know too well. Anyway, it seems that some taskers have also entered the network of playing furniture... It can't be furniture, right? And some other stuff, kind of messed up."

"What about the original actor?"

"I got squeezed out." Wei Lezhang said, "However, I haven't acted in this nightmare for a long time, I don't know what happened, I just listened to the complaints of the actor I knew.

"Oh, by the way, I remember there was a movie theater upstairs... There was a cashier? He used to act as furniture, but was squeezed out by the taskers."

Xu Bei thought to himself, what does this mean... Dai Wu?

That's why Dai Wu said to him, "Be careful behind your back"?Because he used to be the object of attention?

Having said that, what kind of image would Dai Wu play?

Ten minutes later, Xu Beijin bid farewell to Wei Lezhang, went to the fourth floor, found Dai Wu, and asked this question.

Dai Wu: "..."

He turned out a pair of dead fish eyes, and said unrepentantly, "Where did you know this? And..." He looked at Xu Beijin suspiciously, and focused on the milk tea in his hand, " You must be too relaxed."

Xu Beijin shrugged like Dai Wu: "Such nightmares are relatively rare."

Such a bustling nightmare with all kinds of food and shops is indeed relatively rare.Most of the nightmares are a scene of decay and desolation, and some even look like doomsday.

Dai Wu laughed and said, "So you're here to enjoy life?" He added, "But that's fine..."

Xu Beijin said, "Don't change the subject."

Dai Wu: "..."

He rolled his eyes and sighed: "Does this kind of ugly thing have to be told?"

"So what have you become?" Xu Beijin asked curiously, and he added considerately, "If it's something like a toilet, you don't need to say anything."

Dai Wu coughed in surprise: "What? Someone... Forget it. I'm not. I'm..." He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Range hood."

Xu Beijin: "..."

His mouth twitched.

"I didn't kill people." Dai Wu said, "Those missionaries who disappeared will be randomly assigned to be the scapegoats of certain cosplayers, and then I will be overwhelmed."

So it was random... Xu Beijin thought to himself.

In other words, the muscular man who died in the last round of nightmares has really entered that special network platform.Don't know what he became.

Xu Beijin had complicated emotions. On the one hand, he felt that this person died with more than guilt, and on the other hand, he felt that the way of death and what happened after death was chilling.

But...with the character of a muscular man, if he becomes a very lethal facility, then the taskers in the nightmare, especially Sister Jiang, the thin man and others, may be in danger.

At this time, after the fourth round of nightmares started, the time came to No. 30 minutes.

A special change appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room.

Although Jiang Shuangmei already knew that because she had died once in the first round of nightmares, the facilities that became spirits would not be chasing her in the nightmares, but based on fear, vigilance and caution, she still chose to kill her in the fourth round of nightmares. At first, he shrank to the edge of the gate.

The horror of death still haunts me.She didn't want to put herself in that situation again.

She just spent the first half hour of the nightmare quietly.Her legs were a little numb after standing for a long time. She moved her body, but when she twisted her ankle, she swayed toward the door.

"Hey...it hurts!"

Her head hit the doorknob directly, and the doorknob was pushed down.

The next second, she was shocked to find that the door seemed to be able to open!

She reached out and tried it, and it turned out that the door of the apartment was really easily opened, and there was no restriction of having to wait for an hour at all!

……how so?

She subconsciously glanced at the clock.The nightmare had just begun for half an hour, and it was already as black as ink outside the window.

Is it because of the fourth round of nightmares... a collapse?So they can go out a little earlier?

Jiang Shuangmei guessed that no one would have thought of this. After all, they had already formed a habit of thinking in the first three rounds of nightmares, and it was unlikely that they would try to break the game in the fourth round of nightmares.

But... What if they missed some necessary conditions for the end of the customs clearance during the wasted time?

Although Jiang Shuangmei didn't have that kind of reasoning ability, she was also well-informed, and she was used to the traps and tricks of the masterminds entrapping the taskers in the nightmare.

So, she immediately realized that she had to find her sister quickly and tell Sister Jiang Shuang about this.

Sometimes, people with a simple mind and a straight line of thinking will have more powerful actions.

The second she made up her mind, she acted immediately, regardless of whether opening the door lock would be another trap, or whether the collapse of the nightmare would bring about other changes.

Jiang Shuangmei left her apartment directly, ran to the stairwell, and quickly went downstairs to 807.After reaching the eighth floor, she was about to knock on the door, but she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye and stopped immediately.

She saw an elevator, the elevator door was open, and on the floor of the elevator, there seemed to be... a few item cards?

A few minutes later, Jiang Shuangmei knocked on the door of Jiang Shuangjie's apartment and said happily: "Sister! What do you think I picked up?"

There are a total of three prop cards, one of which is a panel card and one is an attack card.And the other "Devil's Mask" is really a rare and useful trick card.

Sister Jiang Shuang was taken aback immediately, and didn't even ask why Sister Jiang left the apartment at this time.She hurriedly asked, "Where did you pick it up?"

Jiang Shuangmei said, "It's in the elevator outside."

Sister Jiang Shuang was puzzled, and then she suddenly thought of the nightmare that restarted inexplicably...

Her heart was suddenly covered with dust.

Sister Jiang was silent for too long, which made Jiang Shuangmei a little confused: "Sister, what's wrong?" She looked at the item card in her hand, "Is there something wrong with this card?"

Sister Jiang Shuang sighed and said, "Shuangshuang, if you don't think about it, how could a prop card fall on the ground inexplicably?"

"But I picked it up." Jiang Shuangmei blinked and said, "And I don't plan to return it."

Sister Jiang Shuang: "..."

She looked at Jiang Shuangmei with a headache, not knowing how to explain it to her sister.

It was obviously a very weird thing, but Jiang Shuangmei didn't want to think about it... She knew that it was because her younger sister was habitually dependent on her.

In the nightmare, Jiang Shuangmei was always responsible for thinking and Jiang Shuangmei was responsible for action; so naturally, Jiang Shuangmei was also thinking about the source of these prop cards now, and Jiang Shuangmei happily picked them up and finished.

In addition, Jiang Shuangmei also understands why Jiang Shuangmei is so happy.

Because, after many years, they returned to the nightmare and tried to go to a higher floor. Although they had accumulated many years ago and several item cards, it was bound to be difficult.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Shuangmei would of course be overjoyed to take these prop cards as her own after picking up these prop cards.

Sister Jiang Shuang understood her thoughts, but she didn't know how to tell her her concerns.

The two sisters fell into silence for a while.

In the live broadcast room, the audience yelled: "Damn it! Couldn't this be dropped by the dead guy?!"

"? Is there a chance of dropping items after death? This game is too unfriendly to African chiefs!"

"The person who died before didn't drop the item card... I shook my head in confusion."

"This is my knowledge blind spot."

Xu Beijin watched the audience curious about this matter, but didn't say a word.Under normal circumstances, the death of the tasker will not drop the item card, but in this nightmare, the death of the tasker is obviously not a normal situation.

In the third round of nightmare, the muscular man was killed by the elevator.After the nightmare restarted, he disappeared.

The reason why his items fell was probably because he had completely fallen into the nightmare of collapse... No, it should be said that he himself collapsed.

It's like he has changed from a tasker to a cosplayer, and he is still a cosplayer who stays in this specific nightmare forever and plays a specific furniture.

Of course, the player does not need a prop card.

In the narrow building, the way to judge whether the tasker is sinking into the nightmare of eternal collapse is to see if his room is still locked.

Some house thieves will try to try those houses that no one has entered or left for a long time; there may be all the accumulated belongings of the taskers who have fallen into nightmares.

Many taskers have become rich because of this.

They are nicknamed vultures because they seem to live on corpses.However, the strange thing is that although house thieves also belong to the bottom of the task force, their reputation is slightly better than that of card dealers, but they are more rare and hidden.

The muscular man probably would not have imagined that one day, the prey in his eyes would become a house thief instead.

In any case, the disappearance of the muscular man meant that the nightmare in the third round had actually collapsed.Even if it wasn't the muscular man who died in the third round of nightmares, but other taskers, I'm afraid they would disappear immediately.

Therefore, from the third round onwards, taskers cannot let themselves die.

... This is a little too strong. No wonder the little girl said before that even if the normal ending was played, some questers disappeared forever.

At the beginning of the nightmare, the taskers were scattered in different apartments.The scene of this nightmare is so huge that it is impossible for the taskers to find out in a short time that some taskers have disappeared.

They must go through a relatively long period of exploration, convergence and information integration.But in the process, it is not certain whether they can even clearly know how many taskers there are in the nightmare.

Only relying on the prompts from the live broadcast system, Xu Bei knew that there were seven taskers in this nightmare.

But for these missionaries, the situation of other people has always been unable to grasp in real time.It is even possible that they will never be able to find all the quest participants in the nightmare, until some quest participants disappear, and they don't know what happened.

…In nightmares, the value of information is so important.

Just like Sister Jiang at this time, although she instinctively believed that there must be something strange about the appearance of these item cards, she didn't know what was special behind them.Unlike Xu Beijin, she has so much information.

She hoped that Jiang Shuangmei would put the item card back.She didn't want to take risks in this eerie nightmare.In addition, they should go to the thin man now, try to cut off the power as soon as possible, and get out of this nightmare.

But Jiang Shuangmei is not willing to give up her income.

Who knows which tasker these item cards belong to?Why did it appear in the elevator?No one knows!

She even said flatteredly, "Maybe it's the welfare that the mastermind gave us?"

Sister Jiang Shuang: "..."

She looked at her sister with a new look.Why didn't she know that her sister had such a silly and sweet side?

She really had a headache.

Did she really protect her sister too well?

Jiang Shuangmei was stubborn and refused to put the item card back. She even said disappointedly: "Sister, we really need the item card. Have you forgotten? We want to go to a higher floor..."

"Of course I remember!" Sister Jiang Shuang said a little irritably, "But Shuangshuang, don't you think there is something wrong with these prop cards appearing there?!"

"I don't think so." Jiang Shuangmei said firmly, "Even if there is a problem, I will keep it. After leaving this nightmare, who will know where we got it from?"

Sister Jiang hesitated to speak.

She didn't want to blame her sister, but she really thought, did she really spoil her sister?Let her not even have the slightest judgment on nightmares?

The point is never who the original owners of these item cards are, but why these item cards appear in the elevator.

Mastermind showing kindness?

How can it be!

Sister Jiang Shuang didn't want to call Jiang Shuangmei stupid, so she tried to explain what she meant, but Jiang Shuangmei didn't listen at all.She stuffed the item card into her arms and walked out of the apartment.

She turned her back to her sister and said, "Sister, I won't tell you any more. Anyway, this is something I picked up, and I have the right to deal with it... right?" She sniffed, even a little aggrieved Said, "Don't you think these prop cards are very useful? I picked them up!"

As she spoke, she even felt unwilling.She held these prop cards in front of her sister as if offering treasures, but her sister said that the things she picked up were "not clean".

But... this is useful!

She felt like a child... cared for and pampered by her sister as a child, but never received any equal respect and trust.She wanted to prove herself, to let her sister know that she was no longer the child she had to protect.

However, the more you want to prove that you are not a child, the more you look like a child?

In this nightmare, Jiang Shuangmei almost went crazy because of her death in the nightmare, and was reprimanded by Jiang Shuangjie because of the prop card from an unknown source... She suddenly realized that she still couldn't prove herself, and even more, she would be looked down upon by Jiang Shuangjie .

In fact, she still hopes that her sister can praise her.

Jiang Shuangmei said disappointedly: "Sister, do you think I... am immoral?"

She didn't hear Sister Jiang's answer.

So she sighed even more disappointed, and instead of turning to look at Sister Jiang, she walked out of the apartment and said in a low voice, "I'll wait for you outside, sister."

She didn't know that right behind her, her sister was strangled by the curtains of the apartment so that her veins burst out and her eyes were bloodshot.Sister Jiang weakly stretched out her hand behind Shuangmei Jiang, but watched her sister walk out of the apartment.

The apartment door slammed shut, and the sound echoed through the corridor on the eighth floor for a long time.

until her death.

When Jiang Shuangmei waited sullenly outside 807, but suddenly waited until the nightmare restarted, she herself was at a loss.

What happened?

The audience in the live broadcast room and Xu Beijin who watched the whole process: "..."

... What are you doing? ?

"Fuck! Is this the lethality of a brat?!"

"I'm sorry, I dragged my sister over to beat me right now."

"Innocent sister: ???"

"... Her sister is... Didn't she hear a sound at all?!"

"I noticed that the curtain covered her mouth... Grass, it's really miserable."

"Watching my sister leave me..."

"It's still for that ridiculous tantrum reason..."

Xu Beijin couldn't help but sigh.When the nightmare resumed, when he found out that Sister Jiang had disappeared, his mood became more complicated.

It may be a kind of mixed feelings of hatred, sympathy, sorrow, etc., and even feel sorry for what happened to Sister Jiang.

Fan Jiang Shuangmei turned around and took a look at what was happening behind her...

But she didn't.

She couldn't see her back, so she couldn't see her sister anymore.

The nightmare restarted, and Jiang Shuangmei was immediately stunned.She had a strange, foreboding feeling, like the palpitations her sister felt in the first round of nightmares because she was in danger.

Now, she felt the same palpitations, faint but constant.

She was restless, and immediately tried to leave the apartment the moment the nightmare restarted.She succeeded, and then she ran to the stairwell and flew down the stairs.

There was a vague idea in her mind, but she thought, no... no, it shouldn't be like this... how could it be? !

Her footsteps stopped at the door of Room 807.

She saw the door open a crack, which made her stunned for a moment.She murmured in a low voice: "...No, no... How is it possible?"

She couldn't believe it, and immediately opened the door and went in, only to find that the apartment was empty.She walked around the apartment, and then saw a few item cards dropped by the sofa.

She picked it up.She recognizes them, these are a few prop cards brought by her sister.

She froze there.

Even she herself couldn't figure out what exactly she thought of at that moment.

After a while, she suddenly laughed inexplicably.

She said: "Sister... isn't it? Are you kidding me? Don't you know that I will come to you first?" She said to herself, "You still deliberately play me... yourself Go downstairs first?"

She squeezed the item card in her hand, murmured, turned around, and left room 807.

In the apartment, the curtains moved unwillingly, then stopped.

Seeing this scene, Xu Beijin's eyes darkened slightly.He thought maybe...

Maybe that curtain is the muscular guy, right?

Jiang Shuangmei didn't know that she passed by the culprit who killed her sister.She walked towards the stairs in a trance, but suddenly stopped.

She saw the elevator.

The elevator, the elevator that caused their quarrel... She stared at the elevator obsessively, then took a deep breath, and walked in with no expression on her face.

At this time, she finally faced that possibility.

She finally thought about... that question, whether her sister was dead, and what the thin man had said about the tasker who disappeared for no reason in the nightmare.

She thought that if her sister died, then she should die too.They lived together in the narrow building for so many years.

They were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, so they should also die in the same year, the same month, and the same day.

... She really wanted to die.Will her sister abandon her?She doesn't... she really wants to... be with her sister.She regrets it.why would she...

Maybe the elevator could kill her.Maybe... she should have been killed by the elevator.Item card... Item card is of course not as important as her sister.

But sometimes, people will quarrel with their loved one because they are not as important as him or her, and even have quarrels and conflicts.

Jiang Shuangmei has already regretted it.

in case……

She pressed down on the first floor in a trance, then crouched in a corner with her head buried in her knees, weeping uncontrollably.

The elevator moved slowly and finally stopped.

Jiang Shuangmei heard a gentle female voice: "First floor, we're here."
