Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

When the man asked this question, the woman's expression almost changed suddenly, and she roared in a low voice, "I've said it before, don't mention this! Just think we're really here to clear the nightmare!"

The man nodded repeatedly and apologized quickly.

The woman bit her lip, and then said in a stern tone: "Listen carefully. This matter must not be leaked, otherwise..." She looked around nervously, "You understand."

The man's complexion also changed, and he murmured in a low voice: "Damn it, no way, can a single sentence be noticed..." He hurriedly said seriously, "I understand, Fei."

The woman known as Fei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Let's continue walking, Wu Jian."

Wujian is 觋, which means wizard.This is the man's code name.The woman's code name is Fei.

Almost all of them have forgotten their former names, and only use code names.In their secretive little organization, each member referred to each other by a code name.

Clandestine organizations always lead to closer, deeper ties among members.They are proud of their organization and proud to be part of it.

Fei and Wu Jian are like this.

But the other missionaries never knew that such a secret group existed.They do know that there are countless untrue rumors in the narrow building, and a large part of them are conspiracy theories.

None of them knew that many of these conspiracy theories originated from the organizations of Fei and Wujian.

However, Fei and Wu Jian don't think it's all conspiracy theories, they believe that they are well-founded, and they are always looking for clues to prove their theories.

The two of them came to this nightmare this time for this purpose.

They were actually angry that their theories were being dismissed as conspiracy theories.

That can't be called a conspiracy theory.

That is... a combination of their own imagination and the things that some of the questers have actually experienced, and the truth behind the narrow building, nightmares, questers, etc.... deduction.

...Well, they also know that this is an inference, so they have been working hard to find evidence.

For years, they got next to nothing.But in recent days, there have been some changes in the narrow building, and the atmosphere that had been silent for a long time suddenly became lively and noisy.

Fei and Wu Jian also vaguely heard some more secret news.They confirmed the authenticity of the news within their small team, and then excitedly descended from the higher floors to the bottom of the narrow building, and then entered this nightmare.

Others are going to higher floors, but the two of them "go down" against the current. It is no wonder that many questers consider these questers who believe in conspiracy theories as lunatics.

However, there are actually quite a few taskers who believe in those conspiracy theories.

...Anyway, that's at least an explanation, isn't it?

In the ruins, the road Fei and Wu Jian took was going south first, then turned east at the end, and finally went north to the building where they agreed to meet.In terms of distance, their distance is the farthest, but the road is fairly flat.

Along the way, there are desolate and abandoned sites everywhere, without even the slightest greenery, just the appearance of the steel city after it collapsed.

Perhaps many years later, vegetation and animals will re-enter the ruins, and vines will grow along the walls, but whether there will be humans at that time is another question.

Looking at these scenes, Wu Jian's face became more and more complicated, and his steps became slower and slower.

Finally, he couldn't go on.

He asked tremblingly, "Doomsday... is it real?"

Fei's voice was cold, but her nails had already sunk into her palm."There's no proof, it's true," she said.

"...and there is no evidence that it is false."

Fei bit her lip, using the pain to calm herself down.She took a deep breath and changed the subject: "We haven't met anyone along the way, so I'm afraid we won't find anything..."

As she spoke, she stopped suddenly.

Wu Jian covered up the emotions in his heart and looked forward, the man who made Fei suddenly silent.

The man walked slowly, holding a piece of bread in his hand.Even when he saw Fei and Wu Jian, he didn't react at all, just walked quietly, like a numb zombie.

The sunken cheeks, pale complexion, and dry lips really looked like a zombie.

After a while, he walked past those two people silently, without saying a word, as if he didn't see them at all.

Wu Jian didn't understand why Fei stopped there, and even turned around to stare at the man's figure.

They stopped at the southernmost part of the ruins, on a road from west to east.The surrounding wind was bitter, rolling up layers of dust on the ground.They stared at the man like this, watching his back gradually move away and go away——

Step into the mist that covers the outside world.

It just disappeared.

Wu Jian's expression changed: "That's not right! Didn't the bald man say that you can't enter that fog?!"

"That's for the taskers." Fei said while thinking, "These NPCs here may not necessarily be."

Wu Jian frowned and said, "Maybe it's just that the residents of this narrow building are special? But, it also means that the fog is indeed meaningful, right? It's not just to delineate the game scene. The fog..." His face turned pale Suddenly changed, "Could it be...?"

"Don't think about it!" Fei reprimanded him, "Even if the outside world regards our deduction as a conspiracy theory, you can't just think about it when you encounter something? Wouldn't that really be a conspiracy theory?"

Shameless.

He really wanted to refute.He actually felt a little too surprised by his companion's way of thinking about his conspiracy theory and dismissing it.

However, after so many years, they finally got a clue that could prove their deduction, so how could it not make them feel excited and nervous?

end……

Wu Jian murmured this word in his heart.

They continued to walk forward.

Compared with Fei and Wu Jian, Mu Jiashi and the collector took a route closer to the playground, so they heard the sound of "impurities" clearly.

Collectors are a bit puzzled: "What the hell are they talking about... what impurities?"

Mu Jiashi shook his head, he didn't pay much attention to this matter, but talked about another matter: "Are you feeling hungry?"

The collector was taken aback, touched his stomach, and suddenly said with some novelty: "It really feels like my stomach is empty."

In the narrow building, they had never felt this way.

Whether it is hungry or full, it has never happened.Of course they can eat and drink in the narrow building, but apart from satisfying their appetite, it will not bring any burden to their stomachs.

But now, in this nightmare, they felt a strange feeling of hunger.

Mu Jiashi frowned: "The situation is not right." He murmured, "In just ten minutes, we will feel faintly hungry. Maybe an hour later, we will have to eat."

The collector still had that surprised smile on his lips: "So, so what?"

"This means that in this nightmare," Mu Jiashi looked at him and said, "it is necessary to fight for food."

Collector squeezed his chin, grunted, and then a smile appeared on his lips: "I understand. We have to fight for food with those narrow building residents, right?" He laughed, "It's so interesting... like Like a real doomsday game."

Mu Jiashi glanced at him, and didn't like this jumpy young man.

Most of the taskers in the narrow building... don't say they are powerful, at least they are serious.Even villains do evil seriously.

But people like collectors are casual and profligate, as if they don't care about anything at all.If you become a teammate with such a tasker, it is really a headache.

At least Mu Jiashi doesn't like such taskers very much.

But he changed his mind and thought again, don't mind his business.Anyway, in the nightmare at the bottom of the narrow building, even if it had a bad ending, it didn't matter much.Just treat him as a waste and paddle water - Mu Jiashi thought so self-destructively.

He still had that lazy and depressed look on his face.

The collector looked at him with interest, and the smile on his lips did not diminish.

This jumpy young man bounced up to the front of Mu Jiashi. After a while, he suddenly jumped back and said cheerfully, "There are people grabbing food in front!"

... Why are you smiling so happily when others are grabbing food?

Mu Jiashi was speechless, and sighed with some headaches.He could already hear the sound of fighting and roaring not far ahead.

He quickened his pace, flipped through two collapsed concrete walls, and saw the chaotic scene.

The collector's look of watching the excitement is not fake, because this place is indeed very lively.Mu Jiashi glanced around, stared at those fighting for a while, and then understood the cause of the incident.

Here is a grocery store with its rolling shutter doors smashed.This kind of store always has some food in stock, and it is the kind of antiseptic food with a long shelf life, and there may even be things like tobacco and alcohol, which are naturally loved by survivors.

There are seven or eight people who are desperately fighting and scrambling for food.They were all haggard and disheveled, their faces and hands were dirty, and even their fighting methods were full of animal-like wildness and madness.

Three of them were in a gang, while the others fought on their own.But those who fight alone are more flexible and ruthless than those who fight in a team, as if they are desperate.

As a result, the three people who had the upper hand were forced to give up part of their food after screaming and wailing.One of them even had a finger bit off.

Several people snatched their own food, and they were vigilant because of the arrival of Mu Jiashi and the collector, and they scattered with food after a while.

The collector cut it in disappointment, and muttered in a low voice, "I thought there would be something big..."

Mu Jiashi glanced at him.

He thought, in such post-apocalyptic ruins, what big things can happen in the daily life of these survivors?

It is nothing more than fighting for food, drinking water, shelter, clothing, medicine, and at most weapons.But looking at the group of people just now who were still fighting with bare hands, I also knew that there might not be any sharp weapons in this ruins.

Even if there were, they probably wouldn't belong to the survivors they saw just now.

Mu Jiashi shook his head, but didn't say anything.He looked at the non-staple food store, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's go over there and have a look."

Collectors have no opinion.In addition to being a little too lively in speech and expression, he followed Mu Jiashi in action all the time, and he didn't make any drastic moves.

Even though he couldn't help coughing twice the moment he entered the non-staple food store.The outside world is also dusty, but compared to this half-collapsed shop, the outside world looks much cleaner.

The collector couldn't help but backed away, stuck his head out of the store door and took a few breaths, which made him feel better.He looked back at the dim shop again.

In the half-collapsed store, there are actually still a few shelves standing crookedly, barely standing there.But the shelves have been wiped clean.

Mu Jiashi carefully looked at this small shop, and his eyes stopped on the few pens placed in a mess on the glass counter.

Something flashed through his mind suddenly.

The collector didn't notice his stunned expression, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, you can't find anything in this place, let's go quickly."

He knew what Mu Jiashi wanted to do.Now that they were already faintly hungry, being able to find food on the way provided them with a guarantee for their next nightmare journey.

But... this small shop seems to have been raided.

As soon as the collector finished speaking, he saw Mu Jiashi squatting down suddenly, reached into the depths of the container, and then took a ham sausage from a dark and dirty corner.

The collector immediately slapped himself in the face, and said with great joy: "Strong! This can be found!"

Mu Jiashi gave him a flat look.

The collector immediately said: "You can give me a little, you don't need to give me half." He said with a smile, "A little, I am satisfied."

Mu Jiashi rolled his eyes and broke half of it to him.

Now that the situation is not clear, there is no need for him to hesitate in this matter.Mu Jiashi never treats his teammates badly, even temporarily.

...Of course, when selling teammates, they did so without hesitation.

The Collector still doesn't know the nature of his temporary teammate, so he happily took the half sausage and was about to eat it.

Mu Jiashi suddenly reminded him: "Wait until you are really hungry before eating, and eating now is a waste."

The collector froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and threw the sausage into his pocket.

Once again they embark on a journey to the building.

At this time, they were still about 10 minutes away from the ground floor of the building.The bald head and flower arms have already arrived.

Before the bald head and the flower arm arrived, Xu Beijin had already observed their movements through the live broadcast system, so he returned to his bookstore ahead of time, and continued to perform peacefully in front of the group.

The bald-headed and flower-armed brothers calculated in their minds when the rest of the taskers would arrive, so they quietly walked past the building, planning to go to the abandoned supermarket a little south to see if they could find some food in advance.

However, when they walked through the building, through the dirty floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor of the building, they inadvertently saw the bookstore and Xu Beijin sitting behind the counter.

The bald head's eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets: "Damn it! Since when did there be an extra NPC in the bookstore!"

The last time they came to this nightmare, the bookstore was still empty, but now, there was an extra man sitting behind the counter.

The bald head and Hua Bi looked at each other suspiciously.

Hua Bi also frowned: "It's not right...it wasn't there last time, but this time, is there anything different about entering the nightmare this time? No, no, it's the second time we entered, and the nightmare can't possibly change. ..."

After thinking for a while, the bald head suddenly understood: "The last time we came here, it was already in the late stage of the nightmare. But now, we came to the building in the early stage of the first round of nightmare... that's the difference!"

The two brothers looked at each other and said in unison: "This is the information that I missed before!"

So they rushed into the bookstore excitedly, completely forgetting about going to the supermarket to find food and agreeing to meet other taskers.

A new NPC in Nightmare!It was an NPC they hadn't encountered before!Why don't you rush forward and ask for a wave of information?

Xu Beijin was sitting behind the counter, distracted sleepily, and his thoughts still couldn't leave the man in black robe standing on the fountain platform, shouting "Human beings are the impurities of the earth".

But suddenly, two brothers, bald head and flower arm, appeared in front of him, which startled him.

Of course, Xu Beijin's expression didn't change at all, he just frowned slightly, as if he felt slightly displeased with these two uninvited guests.

In this dilapidated bookstore full of antiquated atmosphere, the man sitting behind the counter was wearing a white shirt, with indifferent eyes and handsome appearance, which made people feel at first sight—he was definitely not an ordinary person!

The bald head and the flower arm became even more excited, and the bald head even turned to the flower arm and said, "Brother, we are going to post!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

In the live broadcast room, the audience burst into hahaha.

"Sure enough, Beibei cannot escape the fate of the tool man."

"What kind of tool person is the fate of the 'Anchor Murder Theory'!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L L L L L

"Hey, you are the master of yin and yang in the live broadcast room?"

"Taunting two people at once, you are very good."

"Beibei don't stare at us, if you stare again, we also know that you are a cutie, hehehe."

Xu Beijin: "..."

Who is cutie!You make it clear!

Feeling depressed, he turned his attention to the two men with bald head and flowery arms who broke into the bookstore.

Just at this time, the bald head also walked in front of him, staring at Xu Beijin with bloodshot eyes.With an insincere requesting tone, he asked Xu Beijin: "Do you know anything about this ruin?"

Xu Beijin's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't even stand up. He just raised his eyelids and calmly looked up at the bald head.

Obviously the bald head is condescending, but at this moment in the bookstore full of silence, the bald head feels as if he is being looked down upon by the man in front of him.

He felt a heavy pressure, and he didn't know if it was because the light in the bookstore was too dim, or because of the man's aura and appearance.He even turned his eyes away unconsciously, not daring to look directly into Xu Beijin's eyes.

Seeing that Xu Bei was silent, Hua Bi took two steps forward impatiently: "I'm asking you something, you..."

He was suddenly stuck, because he also met Xu Beijin's eyes.He didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't help trembling.

The corner of Xu Beijin's mouth curved into a smile. He just thought it was funny that the two men in front of him looked stern and indifferent, but that smile, coupled with his ghostly pale complexion, really made the bald and the bald. The flower arm trembled unconsciously.

The bald head couldn't help swallowing in fear.He thought, what kind of NPC are they facing?What is the relationship between this man who appeared in the bookstore of the building and the nightmare of this post-apocalyptic ruin?

With a bald head and no words, Hua Arm had to take over this important task.He bite the bullet and said, "Sorry...we didn't have a good attitude just now...you, cough, you, can you tell us about the ruins?"

Xu Bei thought with all his heart that he didn't know anything, at least the mastermind didn't tell him anything.

But... He also saw something through the perspective of the live broadcast room.It's just that the two taskers in front of him have come to this nightmare before, maybe they know more than him.

Although Xu Beijin intends to use the information obtained from the live broadcast room to secretly guide the development of the nightmare, he does not want to take risks after all.However, it would be too much of a failure to say that he doesn't know anything now.

He could see that the two taskers in front of him seemed to treat him, the extra, as a big shot in a nightmare.

That being the case...

Xu Beijin smiled slightly, and said without changing his expression, "I follow the principle of equal value exchange."

The bald head and the flower arm looked at each other and looked at each other.

In the live broadcast room, the audience roared with laughter: "Hahahaha Beibei, you want to prostitute for nothing!"

Xu Bei laughed and said nothing.

Yes, he just wanted to prostitute the information that the bald head and the flower arm knew...or, the information they concealed.He was still deeply impressed by what the bald head said before, "They will forget sooner or later".

Forget... If this is a certain pattern of this nightmare, then this nightmare can really be said to be very special.

After hesitating for a moment, the bald head said, "What do you want to know?"

Xu Beijin cunningly pushed the question back to the bald head: "The information you want to get from me depends on your sincerity."

This statement was confirmed by the bald head. I am afraid that Xu Beijin really knew something, otherwise, he would not have spoken like this.Only those who really know something can be so confident.

So, the bald head turned his head and Hua Bi looked at each other, and the two brothers seemed to confirm something through the contact of their eyes.

Then the bald head turned his head and said to Xu Beijin: "We just came here, but we have heard that this area seems to be infected with some kind of virus. Once you enter here, you will gradually forget your past."

forget?

Xu Beijin was taken aback in his heart, but his face was calm.

The bald head saw Xu Beijin's expression remained unchanged, thinking that the information he provided was not recognized by Xu Beijin, so he gritted his teeth.

He thought that this was just a resident of the narrow building, and had nothing to do with the activities of the taskers, and it didn't matter if he told Xu Beijin what he knew... Yes, that's it.

He convinced himself, and added again: "And when you forget all the memories after entering this area, everything will restart."

Xu Beijin was slightly taken aback.

The bald head said: "The time here is circular."
