Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Huaji was complaining to the bald head.

They are on the same road.This is located in the north of the ruins, from west to east, almost running through the entire ruins, a road that can directly lead to the building.

When Hua Arm spoke, it didn't match his appearance.This is a man who likes to chatter and talk fast. He blames the bald head for sharing so much information with other taskers.

The bald head replied impatiently: "Okay! Didn't I not tell them the most important information?"

Hua Yi was also impatient: "But that is what they will know sooner or later as the nightmare progresses! If you want to tell them what we learned in the last nightmare, then tell them all. Now say half and leave half, We don't have that reputation!"

"They will forget." The bald head said, "That's why I did it on purpose. Let them collect some information, and then we can enjoy the benefits, isn't it good?"

Hua Yi opened his mouth, as if a little surprised, and then he pushed his shoulder against the bald-headed arm: "It's ok, brother, now you know how to use others as tools?"

The bald head sneered: "Otherwise? This scene is too big, and there is no way we can effectively explore it with just the two of us. Why don't we tell them a little information, let them understand this nightmare earlier, and then help us.

"As for our concealment, they will forget it sooner or later anyway."

This is the second time he mentions "they'll forget".

At this time, the sound source in the live broadcast room came from these two people, because no one spoke in the other screens, so Xu Beijin chose to listen to what the brothers were saying.

In the end, I actually heard something.

"They'll forget sooner or later"... what does that mean?

Amnesia... some pattern of this nightmare?Something that was bound to happen?

The audience was also discussing this topic enthusiastically, but it was a pity that the brothers kept secretive and said some riddle-like words there, which made the audience's appetite whetted, but they couldn't get the answer immediately.

For a moment, the cute and lovely audience was extremely angry.

After another moment, the pair of brothers stopped talking, and the chattering flower arm fell silent.They walk this path, and they bump into a few people every now and then.

Apart from the "amnesia" thing, the bald head actually concealed some other things.

For example, the road they took is the easiest way to encounter survivors, because this road leads directly to that building, and because that building is the most eye-catching among the ruins, it has become a place where many survivors come across. The place where the survivors gather.

They didn't dare to enter the building, for fear that the building would collapse, so they built trading places near the building, in various hidden corners.It was like a barter bazaar in a narrow building.

The bald head and the flower arm knew that if they went to those trading places, at least nearby, it would be more convenient to find food.

That building is actually in the northeast corner of the whole ruins, and its south side used to be a large supermarket.Many survivors will go there to find some expired but still edible food.This is also the destination of the brothers.

In the middle of the ruins is a playground, once a great place for families or couples to spend time, but now also a hiding place for rubble, dust, and other things.

But the Ferris wheel, which is half upside down, is also an eye-catching landmark.

But the bald head and the flower arm didn't dare to go in that direction, and instead assigned this task to the collector they didn't like.

As for Mu Jiashi who was innocently involved?That's really sorry, who told him that he never knew other taskers?

In the current narrow building, there are very few real lone wolves, especially now that the rumors are known to all taskers.

Everyone knows that the most important thing now is to go to a higher floor as soon as possible. No matter whether the news is true or not, hurry up now, maybe you can catch up with the time.If it was later, they might not have heard anything inside.

The mission workers worry that they will not be able to catch up.

Therefore, they chose to go to the nightmare as a team as much as possible.Of course, even if you form a team, it can only be with your acquaintances.Now they will be more prepared and vigilant for unfamiliar taskers.

... Card dealers are no longer just a handful of people.Everyone is a card dealer these days.

And the purpose is not for selling, but for the true ending.

In this case, no one actually knows whether the young man who claims to be a collector of scrap cards is actually a collector or not.What if he just said that on purpose to lower the vigilance of others?

Anyway, the bald head and the flower arm are very upset with this person.

Mu Jiashi didn't care too much, because he didn't have an item card at all.

In the previous nightmare, he told a quester that he didn't have an item card, not even one.This is a truth.

Of course, in the previous nightmare, they reached the true ending.Although he didn't go to a higher floor, he could still draw cards, and the cards he got were not bad.

But he immediately sold the item card and exchanged for some living supplies, including the drinks he gave to Xu Beijin.

He said that he didn't have any item cards, but he was still lying.It should be said that he is now destitute.And the reason why he entered the nightmare shortly after returning to the bottom of the narrow building was actually to earn some supplies.

Sometimes, he wondered if he didn't want to enter the nightmare anymore, after all, he had unconsciously put on the posture of wanting to live a good life.

But after entering the nightmare, he still couldn't help thinking, as if his brain didn't listen to him.

...Obviously suffered such a tragic failure, why are you still so serious now?

Mu Jiashi thought a little dejectedly.

However, he had some intentions to enter this nightmare this time.

He wanted to investigate the female narrow building resident named Su Enya, but he was penniless and unable to buy or exchange the information he needed, so he could only try his luck in this nightmare.

It can be regarded as returning to his old profession.In addition to leading the boss, the gold digger team also needs to find some clues to clear the nightmare, and these clues about the nightmare are also valuable in the market.

He can use the clues he has obtained, and maybe he can exchange the information he needs.

Of course, in the final analysis, he was just trying his luck, so after coming to this nightmare and seeing these unreliable teammates, Mu Jiashi felt discouraged.

...It's better to be a waste, what's the point of investigating that woman, she's just a nagging resident of the narrow building...

However, recently in the narrow building, this nightmare seems to have attracted the attention of many people.

Mu Jiashi was meditating, while the collector was bouncing around, enjoying himself, but also having fun.

Until they were suddenly stopped by a group of people.

They walked for about 10 minutes, in order not to miss anything, so they were not fast, and they only walked more than a kilometer in total.There is no serious road along the road, they can only choose to step on the rubble of the ruins, move forward cautiously or jump.

Then they suddenly came to a more open, flat area.Many people surrounded them, seeming to be talking about something.

Mu Jiashi glanced around roughly, and found the collapsed entrance, ticket gate, and large fences.He noticed the Ferris wheel again, and it dawned on him.

This is probably a playground.

Because the playground does not have too many buildings in total, it is mainly based on amusement facilities, so even if those play items have been abandoned, or collapsed and rusted, the venue is still there.

Moreover, it seems that this place has become a gathering place for some people.

Someone ran over quickly, staring at Mu Jiashi and the collector with vigilant and repelling eyes.These were two people he didn't know.

He said, "Impurities!"

Mu Jiashi was stunned for a moment.

……WTF?It's like, a common password?

The man stared at the two uninvited guests, and said again: "Impurities!"

Collector replied with a grin: "Weekly?"

The man frowned suddenly: "The answer is wrong!" Like a loyal knight commander, he waved his hand and called a few burly men from the side, as if threatening, he said coldly and harshly, "Intruder, get out! "

"Hey, why are you so nervous!" The collector wasn't afraid at all, instead he showed an excited smile, "We just came here and don't understand your rules, please explain to me. What is 'impurity'?"

The man frowned, as if hesitating for a moment, but still insisted, "Please leave."

His tone was rather polite.

At this time, Mu Jiashi noticed that behind the old railings in the playground, many people slowly gathered towards them like wandering spirits.

They stopped talking, and those whispering voices disappeared immediately, leaving only a stagnant silence and silence.

It seems that in this ruins, all are dead.

...and there are obviously so many living people in front of their eyes.However, everyone Mu Jiashi saw was lifeless and indifferent.

For the arrival of Mu Jiashi and the collectors, they did not feel the slightest welcome, on the contrary, they showed a kind of extreme xenophobia and disgust.

Where does this hostility... come from?

Mu Jiashi thought, perhaps, the bald tasker still concealed some information.He glanced at the collector next to him, and thought, maybe he was the pond fish that got hurt.

……never mind.

He sighed secretly, grabbed the collector, nodded calmly to the "Knight Commander", and said, "I'm sorry, we're leaving now."

They chose to avoid this playground.

Until being pulled away by Mu Jiashi, the collector was still chattering, "Hey, impurities, what impurities... You are in such a hurry! We can obviously find out!"

Mu Jiashi replied calmly: "Don't worry. Now is the first round of the nightmare, don't rush to confront these guys, start from other places first, and see their details."

The collector was taken aback for a moment, and then exaggeratedly gave Mu Jiashi a thumbs up: "You are strong! Are you ready to play tricks?"

Mu Jiashi: "..."

He frowned slightly and looked at the young man inexplicably.

When did he say he was going to attack those people?

The collector didn't care if he misunderstood Mu Jiashi's meaning, he continued to bounce and walk - fortunately he looked like a young man, otherwise he would have looked too childish.

But Mu Jiashi actually doesn't like this look.After all, the Collector only looks young on the outside, if you count the time he spent in the narrow building...

All taskers are actually not young anymore.

It's just that their age, as well as their bodies, are forever fixed at the moment they entered the narrow building.

If I insist, Mu Jiashi feels that he can be said to be an uncle in his forties, but his appearance still looks like he is in his early 20s.

Although their bodies haven't changed much, their insides are already very different.

Sometimes, Mu Jiashi couldn't help thinking, even if they could really leave the narrow building, would they be able to adapt to life outside?They have lived in such a nightmare, such a narrow building for so many years...

Whenever he thinks of this, Mu Jiashi can't help but sigh.

He continued on with the collectors.

The place where they agreed to meet was that building.

From the perspective of the route, the two people who have to go are the shortest, but the bald head said that he provided some information, so this is what they deserve.

Although the route between Mu Jiashi and the collector is shorter, it is really difficult.Especially, when they bypassed the playground and found that the surroundings were full of rugged ruins with no smooth roads at all...

The smile on the corner of Collector's mouth couldn't help twitching.

When the two people walking in the southeast direction had a little conflict with the people on the other side of the playground, Xu Beijin had already walked out of his bookstore and was looking out at the door of the building.

Ruins of this magnitude are truly awe-inspiring to look at.Because, it looks more like being destroyed by a weapon falling from the sky than being eroded by the power of time.

The playground is like the center point of the weapon, because the closer you get there, the more the damage to the building is exaggerated, almost smashed.

The closer to the center of the playground, the more the ground collapsed.

However, what weapon can cause such terrifying power?

Xu Beijin stood there expressionless, looking at the ruins in front of him with deep and calm eyes.There was a wind blowing from a distance, making a whistling sound.

He remembered something very long ago.

After a long time, when the audience in the live broadcast room were asking him why he stood still, Xu Beijin suddenly pulled back from the past and returned to reality.

He smiled sheepishly, then switched the sound source to his side, and led the audience to briefly explore the ruins near the building for a while.

It is said to be ruins, and occasionally a few walls have not collapsed, forming a place that can barely shelter from wind and rain.This has become a gathering place for those survivors, or in other words, a trading place.

Yet they never stop in these places.Those survivors shuttled through different gathering places like phantoms. Xu Beijin caught a glimpse of one every time, but when he really looked carefully, he couldn't see anyone again.

The last thing he saw was a man, ragged and numb, with sunken cheeks and dull eyes from hunger, and had to struggle to find food.

His steps were slow, like a snail compared to other survivors.He holds a porcelain bowl in his hand, which may be used for barter or begging.

The man walked from one side to the other, and not long after, Xu Beijin saw him coming out from behind a wall with what seemed to be a bread in his hand, and then walked away weakly.

The audience was startled by the way the man was so hungry that his feet were sloppy.

"Ah... this kind of doomsday survival game... is too unfriendly to me!"

"Others' doomsday game: chug chug da da da; my doomsday game: I'm so hungry, I'm going to die..."

"Looking at these people, I suddenly had a question... Beibei, why are you so relaxed? You don't need to look for food and you are guarding a fairly complete bookstore?"

"!!! Makes sense! Beibei, did you rise up in this nightmare!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He touched his nose with a wry smile, and said in a good voice: "Not really, it's still a group performer."

The audience immediately sighed in disappointment.

However, someone said: "But if this is the case...wouldn't the taskers suspect that Beibei is a bad person again?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He suddenly felt that what the audience said made a lot of sense.

He suddenly felt a little curious about the identity he was playing.He did not get any information from the mastermind NE, which means that he is indeed an extra.

However, as Dai Wu once said, in some film and television works, the group performer may not be an unimportant role—rather, he is now more like a friend who starred in a certain role in a small role, but has a considerable status. For an important role?

You see, the rest of the actors are surviving in the apocalypse, but he is still a bookstore owner peacefully.Not to mention whether he was hungry or not, at least he had a perfect shelter from the wind and rain.

But... why?

Moreover, why did these survivors let him stay in the bookstore?Why didn't they go inside the building?

The building may indeed collapse, but at least it is more comfortable than being in the open air, right?Wouldn't it be better to leave after finding signs of collapse?

The weather outside is gloomy now, and it is uncertain when it will rain, but those survivors still completely ignore the building as a good shelter from the rain... Doesn't this seem too strange?

Xu Beijin frowned, and said to himself, "The building...what does it symbolize?"

From the perspective of the live broadcast system, only three different perspectives are listed in the scene of the building: the bookstore, the stairwell, and the rooftop.

This means that the interior of the building is actually empty, and those offices that seem to be accessible are just decorations.From the perspective of the path, it seems that the tasker is exploring in the bookstore, and then walks up the stairs to the rooftop.

...it's gone.

That's what this building is for.

But what's the use?What's on the roof?

A few minutes later, Xu Beijin climbed up to the roof of the top floor.This building has a total of thirteen floors. Because all the surrounding buildings have collapsed, standing on the roof, you can overlook the entire ruins.

He suddenly felt that this place might be a good place to control the overall situation.

From here, you can also see the Ferris wheel of the playground.and……

Xu Beijin narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to see himself more clearly.

There were a lot of people gathered in the playground, and the heads of the densely packed people were small black ants one after another.

What are they doing there?Xu Bei thought hard.

He was a little curious, so he opened the live broadcast room and turned on a single screen, so that the viewing angle was aimed at the playground.

According to the numbering of the live broadcast system, the scene of the playground alone occupies an area of ​​five ruins from District 26Y to District [-].

It was indeed a huge scene, and Xu Beijin pointed his camera at the place where the crowd gathered, and turned on the sound source there.

"Impurities! Impurities! Impurities!!!"

The crowd is chanting the word, and just the word.

Xu Bei listened for a while, and found that it was still such a meaningless shout.

After more than ten seconds, the shouting of the crowd finally stopped.Xu Beijin took this opportunity to look at the scene.This seems to be the central square of the playground, empty and huge.

If it is still an ordinary day on earth, then this may be a good place for the whole family to gather and rest.Maybe there will be pigeons flying over.In the middle of the square is a beautiful fountain, and the surrounding circle is full of restaurants and gift shops.

But now, the stone sculpture in the center of the fountain has collapsed.Here are the ruins after the end.

Xu Beijin was in a daze for a moment, a little confused whether he was in a nightmare, or...on the earth.

When he came back to his senses, the mob-like group of people had quieted down.Their gazes were frantically fixed on a man in front of him, who was walking slowly and firmly walking towards the place where the fountain pool used to be in the square.

Now there is a high platform here.He goes up.

This looks like a middle-aged man in his 40s. He has long hair, a black robe, a hooked nose, and a gloomy look between his eyebrows.

He gestured for the people around him to quiet down, then coughed lightly, and started his speech.

"When human beings behave excessively, God will punish them, send messengers, and destroy everything."

He murmured a string of words.

Xu Beijin frowned deeply.

This scene, like preaching, made Xu Beijin feel weird and ridiculous for a while.What he meant was that this is a narrow building, this is a nightmare—this is a fucking game!

And these people are all actors.

There are very few real NPCs in the narrow building, so few that some cosplayers suspect that they are just cosplayers who have lost themselves.In this game, perhaps there is no so-called NPC at all.

So, the group of people in front of them, are they just acting according to the mastermind's script?But they look too earnest and pious again.

The enthusiasm and conviction in their eyes and expressions seemed to show that they had really taken what this man said as a standard.They truly believed that the post-apocalyptic ruin scene in front of them was really a punishment from God.

This ridiculous scene made Xu Beijin feel a little disgusted.He squeezed the palm of his hand subconsciously, and suddenly felt a little regretful.When he goes out, he should at least bring a glass of water.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was laughing and laughing, laughing at this man - the magic stick.

The man said a lot of words, and the people below looked at him reverently and fanatically like his followers.

The man finally concluded with one sentence: "Human beings are the impurities of the earth!"

The rest started shouting again: "Impurities! Impurities!!"

Its voice was so loud that even the taskers farther away seemed to hear it.

The man and woman walking south from District [-] seemed to hear something in a daze.They stopped almost immediately, looked around, and looked extremely disturbed and nervous.

Their eyes flickered, as if there was something staring at them all the time, or there might be monsters leaping out of the void at any time, and then suddenly killed them.

They seem to live in an unreasonable world.

"... did you hear anything?"

The woman bit her lip, her teeth leaving deep red bite marks on her pale lips.This is her habitual action, and sometimes, she even bites her lips to bleed.

The man also looked around vigilantly, and after a while, he said, "It seems to be safe."

Women are more anxious.

The man didn't give in too much, he even broke out in a cold sweat.He tried his best to say something pretending to be calm: "Don't worry, maybe... nothing will happen."

The woman stares at him.

The man finally couldn't hold back the expression on his face, he said urgently to the woman beside him: "Do you think, this nightmare..." He swallowed, "Could it be the one we've been looking for?"
