Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Xu Bei looked at Ringo in confusion.

They were in the bookstore, and the sky was slightly bright.The gray mist outside the window seemed to have been startled by Lin Po's words, and quietly revealed the deep and heavy mist of the morning.

Seeing that Xu Bei was silent, Lingo even asked urgently, "Tell me, don't you feel anything?"

"It feels like..." Xu Beijin said slowly, "Do you like me?"

Ringo nodded as a matter of course: "So did you feel it?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He felt itchy hands, and wished he could slap Ringo on the head, so that the guy would wake up a bit.

However, considering the gap in force between the two sides, Xu Beijin regretfully gave up this idea.

He sighed, stood up from the chair, and moved his stiff limbs.It was probably because he had been sitting all night, so he felt a little stiff and sour, but it might just be a psychological illusion.

Ling Po tilted his head: "Why didn't you answer me?" He squinted his eyes, "Why do you seem so embarrassed?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

you ask me?You actually asked me? ?You have the nerve to ask...!

He was pissed off by Ringo again.

Xu Bei moved his wrist to calm himself down.He took a deep breath, and then said, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

Lin Po looked at him suspiciously, but in the end he still didn't expose Xu Beijin.He thought for a while, and suddenly mentioned another thing: "Remember those two people who used to hang around outside your bookstore?"

Xu Beijin was stunned, confused for a moment: "I remember. What does it matter?"

"I warned them before, and they should be going to a higher level now. Before going, they told me that there are some people who are interested in your nightmare." Ringo added drama to himself calmly, "I decided to start again Warn those people."

Xu Bei looked at him speechlessly, and after a while, he said, "Thank you."

But he was thinking in his heart, wouldn't this kind of warning really backfire?

And...he remembered what Mu Jiashi had said to him in the nightmare, and suddenly realized something.

No wonder Mu Jiashi told him that Ringo liked him.I'm afraid that the story of Ringo's "becoming a concubine in anger" has already spread throughout the bottom of the narrow building.

...Xu Beijin was once again restless, always feeling that his reputation was messed up by this little apple in front of him.

While thinking in distress, he listened to Ringo's continuation.

"You're welcome. Anyway, I went to warn those people." Ringo said bluntly, "Later, someone told me that I was busy with your affairs because I liked your performance."

Xu Beijin: "..."

Good guy.

Xu Beijin did not expect that he warned Mu Jiashi not to tell Lin Biao about his ideas, lest Lin Biao misunderstand.As a result, he ignored the future, and the missionaries in the narrow building somehow misled Lingo!

Xu Bei couldn't help sighing deeply, he was a little hesitant.

The initial embarrassment has slowly dissipated, and he began to have a headache on how to explain this matter to Ringo.

Regardless of the gossip outside—how could this group of taskers gossip like this? ——How to straighten Ringo's crooked world view is a very difficult thing.

...In the end, Lingo was just doing him a favor, why was it considered by the group of taskers as evidence of liking him!Is there a problem!

Xu Beijin thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out what to say: "You don't like me. You just helped me out with kindness and were misunderstood by others."

This is indeed the case.

Xu Beijin looked at Lin Po, wondering how Lin Po would react after he said these words.

Ringo blinked blankly.His seemingly obedient face highlighted his confusion and perplexity even more at this time.Confused, he said, "Is that so...? Just a misunderstanding?"

Xu Beijin said, "Of course it's a misunderstanding."

Ringo was silent for a moment.

Xu Beijin thought, in Ringo's simple world, he might not know what love is.If someone told him that it was love, then maybe Ringo was really misled.

He has no memory about the earth, he is like a blank sheet of paper, and only reveals his secrets to Xu Bei.

And Xu Beijin didn't want to mislead Lin Po.

If Xu Beijin had been more malicious, hoping to get the uncrowned king at the bottom of the narrow building in front of him, then he might have recognized this matter at this time, and even coaxed and tricked Lin Biao into his lover.

With Ringo's trust in him and Ringo's blank emotional world, Xu Beijin certainly has the ability to lie to him for the rest of his life, making him really be his thug in peace.

If he did this, then from now on, Xu Beijin could really do whatever he wanted on the bottom floor of the narrow building.

However, Xu Beijin didn't want to do that.To put it bluntly, he is really a good guy, even though many people don't believe it.

So he chose to be honest.

Besides, he didn't have any unreasonable thoughts about Lingo, so why bother to lie to Lino?

It's just that Lin Po ran over so excitedly and asked him if he liked something, maybe he had waited all night, which made Xu Beijin somewhat delicate.

It was a feeling of being valued and taken seriously.Lingo is carefully and carefully proving a certain matter, and the core of that matter is him, Xu Beijin.

Even though Xu Beijin was sensible enough, even pessimistic, but he still inevitably felt a little vanity at that moment, and more importantly... the feeling of being touched by Ringo.

He really enjoys being with people like Ringo.

For Lin Biao, Xu Beijin is just a sudden light spot appearing in his dark abyss-like world, but for Xu Beijin, why is it not the case for Lin Biao?

In this narrow building where despair has condensed into substance and stands in the gray mist, both Xu Beijin and Lingo are aliens at the bottom of the narrow building.Ringo is incompatible with the taskers, and Xu Beijin is also out of place among the actors.

And by chance, they actually had an intersection with each other.

Xu Beijin sighed secretly.

...And Ringo seems to have been silent for a long time.

In fact, Lin Po's mood at this time is a bit complicated, and it is difficult for him to explain that kind of complexity to Xu Beijin, so even he himself is at a loss.

The first thing that came to mind was a rather rebellious emotion.

He may not know that there are creatures on the earth called gangsters, but his emotions at this time are really similar to those of gangsters.

Of course he trusts Xu Beijin, but Xu Beijin's understatement seems to not care about "like" at all, and he directly characterizes it as a misunderstanding, which makes Lingo suddenly think-you said I don't like you, I don't like you. I really don't like you anymore?

you know?Are you so sure it's a misunderstanding? ?

…Then he sat in this bookstore all night, anxiously, restlessly, and excitedly waiting for Xu Beijin to wake up and tell him an answer—whether he likes it or not—what’s the point?

When this man with a completely blank emotional world heard that he liked it, when he thought it was a positive thing rather than a bad thing, when he was dubious but still came to Xu Beijin's side to ask for clarification... …

What he hopes to get is a yes answer, and that "yes" has nothing to do with his original intention.

He had heard of a novelty, and he wished he had it.

That's it.

So at this time, after being silent for a long time, he just let out a muffled "Oh" without any major reaction.

Because Xu Beijin said it was a misunderstanding, he thought it was a misunderstanding, and he said in such a convincing tone that Lin Ao really didn't like him... That shows that Xu Beijin really didn't feel Lin Ao's liking for him.

At least Lin Xi believed that Xu Beijin should know more about this matter.

So Lingo agreed with Xu Beijin's statement.

But he is still thinking, if he really likes—if he really likes Xu Beijin, what kind of scene will it be?If this is true... what kind of emotion should liking be?

What kind of performance can make Xu Beijin feel that he likes him?

Lin Po was a little curious, just as he was curious about Xu Beijin's life not long ago.

In addition to curiosity, there is also a little loss and unhappiness.

Because Xu Beijin denied the possibility that he liked him... Although this incident was related to Xu Beijin, in the final analysis it was the change in Lin's inner world.

After all, how could Xu Beijin have imagined that Lin Po brought him to his bookstore with anticipation, curiosity and confusion, waiting for him to wake up and for his answer?

Lingo had already preset an answer for himself, but Xu Beijin denied his answer.

And Lingo could only choose to believe Xu Beijin's answer, because he didn't even know what it was like to like this situation.

But that feeling of unwillingness was still boiling in his heart.That was his business after all.Whether he likes Xu Beijin or not is his business.And why did Xu Beijin deny him?

Is his performance not enough to make Xu Beijin feel that he likes him?

... After a long time, when Xu Beijin had already stood by his bookshelf, picking out the books he wanted to read today, Lin Po suddenly said inexplicably: "But I think my answer is the best answer." important."

Xu Bei gave him a puzzled look.

"'I like you'." Ringo said, "The subject is me, isn't it?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then looked at the little apple in front of him.

He said slowly: "The object is me. So I also have the right to participate."

Lin Po frowned, feeling that what Xu Beijin said made sense, but that feeling of discomfort became more and more obvious and clear...

Finally, he knew why.

He once desperately wanted to fight Xu Beijin, but Xu Beijin seemed to push him away with similar excuses.

Yes, "Lin Po wants to fight Xu Beijin".The subject is Lingo, and the object is Xu Beijin.The subject wants to do this, but the object does not let him do it.

...the situation is exactly the same.

The problem is, "fighting" is at least risky, do you like it?Isn't liking entirely his Ringo's unilateral matter?

So Ringo was filled with righteous indignation, he said: "I want to fight with you but you refuse, now I like you - you also refuse?"

Xu Beijin was speechless.After a while, he said, "Ringo, you don't like me...really. This is different from the previous fight."

He frowned almost distressedly.

"But...but..." Lingo hesitated for a moment, "Don't tell me I want to fight with you, and I like you, shouldn't it be in the same mood?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

Please, isn't the fight you thought it was the fight I thought it was?

Xu Beijin could only let out a long sigh, and said, "Lingo, I think you're an idiot. You'd better stop thinking about it, you won't understand it. Just remember, you really don't like me, really."

Ringo: "..."

……What do you think.

Xu Beijin is really going too far, even if he is not allowed to fight, now he is not even allowed to like him...Why!

Besides, why couldn't he figure it out?Why did Xu Beijin underestimate him?Isn't this...not just, isn't it just what I like? !Could it be that he couldn't figure out such a simple thing? !

Ringo felt very upset!

He looked at the man standing in front of the bookshelf gloomily, thinking, he was angry, he didn't want to see this man, he wanted to please him, he wanted to fight with him, to please the ass...

Xu Beijin said, "Come here and get the books."

Ringo replied, "Here we are."

Recently, there have been new rumors among the mission workers on the bottom floor of the narrow building.

Of course, there are always all kinds of rumors on the bottom of the narrow building, whether it is true or false conspiracy theories, or news from unknown sources, mission workers are always immersed in various rumors, and they will inevitably be coerced into them.

Not long ago, there were rumors that "someone successfully left the narrow building" came from the upper floors of the narrow building, so the mission workers on the bottom floor of the narrow building desperately went to the higher floors, and even many mission workers who hadn't entered the nightmare for many years finally Take your own steps.

And many of them have broken up this desperate experience and dispersed it in different conversations and exchanges.They went to higher levels, so they spread rumors about the "Ultimate Nightmare" in the higher levels.

So, the higher-level taskers decided.

After a period of time, the layout of the ground floor of the narrow building is completely different from before.

After another period of time, the atmosphere on the ground floor of the narrow building became even more subtle.

A large number of taskers from the higher floors of the narrow building found themselves deceived.The so-called "ultimate nightmare", the nightmare related to doomsday, memory, and gray fog, has nothing to do with the narrow building.

It was just a narrow-floor resident's nightmare.

That may indeed imply the truth about the narrow building, but who knows, is it the setting of this game, or the truth about the earth they need in a real sense?

The missionaries were disheartened.

Even, a large part of them simply chose to stay on the bottom floor of the narrow building.Quite a few of these people came from very high floors, and they dropped everything and went back to the original floor, hoping to find an answer.

And maybe that's just a product of bragging and making things up?

Many taskers stopped at the bottom of the narrow building, either because they were unwilling or because they were unable to work hard.

But no matter what, there are still some people who came down excitedly, left disappointed, and then regrouped, intending to return to a higher level.

In the end, the situation presented was that the atmosphere on the ground floor of the narrow building, after a short period of boiling and enthusiasm, was now calm again.

The original taskers at the bottom of the narrow building, those taskers who did not leave due to various reasons during this round of chaos, and those taskers who came down from higher floors, fell into a subtle immobility.

In this atmosphere, the situation seems to have changed at a certain moment.

The cause should be that a mission worker heard something from a resident of a narrow building.Later, this matter was once again spread through the mouths of many people, and a lot of speculation and conjecture were added.

And the core point of that rumor, or a piece of evidence supporting it, is that since the narrow building is a building, why is its door not on the ground floor, but on a higher floor?

Maybe higher floors can see different scenery, maybe the truth must be hidden at the top, but... the exit must be at the bottom, isn't it?

Therefore, the so-called "ultimate nightmare" must also be at the bottom of the narrow building.

The previous rumor, that "the ultimate nightmare appeared at the bottom of the narrow building", was not wrong.It's just that they got the wrong nightmare.

Many taskers from higher levels believed this news.

When they are going to a higher level, when they are tossing and turning in endless nightmares and endless floors, when they have solved countless nightmares, but they still can't see the end and hope...

Have they ever suspected that the exit of the narrow building should be below, not above?

In the beginning, all quest players appeared on the bottom floor of the narrow building.They take it for granted that going up is the right path, and only going up can they see the truth.

...Maybe you can indeed see the truth by going up, but you can't leave the narrow building?

The reason why they are willing to believe this possibility is because when the previous rumor that "someone successfully left the narrow building" appeared, no one knew who left the narrow building.

Even for those mission workers on very, very high floors, the news they sent out was, "I don't know who it is", or even, "Does such a person really exist?"

They are already a very high-level group of taskers, and they know the names of almost all the front-line and high-level taskers.And they counted them carefully, and they were all there.

What's even more frightening is that although this rumor spreads well, no one knows its source, let alone which floor it first spread from.

The taskers on the lower level said it was from the upper level, but the taskers on the upper level waited until the taskers on the lower level went up, and then they were surprised to learn about it.

This sudden news seemed to appear out of nowhere, making people even wonder whether there were ghosts in the narrow building.Perhaps the ghost spread the news invisibly.

So, after searching everywhere to no avail, the taskers at a higher level heard the rumor that "an ultimate nightmare appeared at the bottom of the narrow building", and quickly realized a possibility as soon as they turned their minds.

Did the legendary tasker leave from the bottom of the narrow building?

... Maybe it's possible, isn't it?Maybe "he" and other taskers symbolize two roads; one goes up and the other goes down.While he succeeded, others failed.

High-level taskers know about higher-level taskers, but they never pay attention to low-level taskers.

And if someone, or some interest group, has been paying attention to the progress of "him", and finds that he suddenly disappeared from the bottom of the narrow building on a certain day, and he can't be found anywhere...

Then naturally, one would doubt whether he had found the exit of the narrow building.

Perhaps these people don't know whether "he" is successful, so the initial rumor spread, hoping that someone can give an answer, and even more hope that "he" will jump out and explain this matter himself.

Later, these people found that "he" could not be found, so they believed that he should have really left the narrow building; but they didn't know how "he" left, they only knew that he disappeared at the bottom of the narrow building of.

So the rumor about the "ultimate nightmare" at the bottom of the narrow building spread.

In short, someone may have left the narrow building through the "ultimate nightmare" at the bottom of the narrow building, but the people behind him don't know which nightmare it is, so they hope that others will find out this nightmare.

This group of taskers from higher levels who are crazy because of the "ultimate nightmare" may end up making wedding clothes for others.

Yet they will.The reason why this group of missionaries came back desperately is, of course, to find this ultimate nightmare...to leave the narrow building!

And how many of those taskers who stayed on the bottom floor of the narrow building originally stayed here because of the rumors of the "ultimate nightmare"?

The originally dead atmosphere changed again.

And all of this is due to the original rumor, the information from the residents of the narrow building.

Someone said that he heard a resident of the narrow building talking about the doomsday in a trance, so he stepped forward to ask curiously.After some debate and entanglement, the narrow building resident brought him in front of another narrow building resident.

He heard the latter muttering words such as "burning up", "they are all crazy", "doomsday", "don't leave me behind", "so dark", and happily, he told the others very loudly.

As a result, this rumor slowly spread, colliding with news related to the ultimate nightmare, until—someone decided to enter this nightmare to find out.

On the same night, when Xu Beijinku was sitting at the desk in the bookstore, he suddenly felt a trance, and his consciousness slowly sank into the deep darkness.

He's going to work again.

Before he really entered the nightmare, a trace of curiosity flashed in his mind.He wondered what kind of nightmare he would enter this time, could it be... that nightmare?

Previously, he had asked Dai Wu to secretly spread information related to this nightmare.

Although, Dai Wu didn't come to Xu Beijin's bookstore in person, but asked another actor who was on the ground floor of the narrow building to ask for relevant information, including who the owner of the nightmare was and where it was located.

This made Xu Beijin guess that Dai Wu should be on a higher floor, or indeed on the bottom floor of the narrow building, but he was unwilling to show up in person.There are many possibilities, but Xu Beijin has no intention of delving into this matter.

And earlier today, the cosplayer came to Xu Beijin's bookstore again and told him that everything was going well; maybe there will be some taskers going to try it out soon.

This group of taskers obviously couldn't sit still.

A few days earlier, Xu Beijin had gone to the resident of the narrow building, the owner of the nightmare.

It was a female cosplayer.

Many years ago, Xu Beijin went to her nightmare to perform, and had some intersections with her.At that time, she also casually asked Xu Beijin, hoping that he could tell her nightmare to a reliable tasker.

Later, Xu Beijin did exactly that. He told Mu Jiashi about the nightmare; and Mu Jiashi really played the true ending, but the female actor did not go to a higher floor.

That was a few years ago. At that time, Xu Beijin himself was devastated by the siege and interception of those taskers, so he didn't pay attention to the situation of this female cosplayer.In addition, at that time, he was indeed no longer mentally capable of foreign affairs.

After a period of time, the situation subsided, and when he was walking in the narrow building, he had accidentally met her.However, at that time, she was already... crazy.

No, it should be said that she has completely forgotten her identity as the actor.She had truly fallen...a victim of that nightmare.

Although not sinking into the nightmare of eternal collapse, how is that different from eternal collapse?

Therefore, this time, Xu Beijin only looked at her from a distance, and did not talk to her.She might not remember Xu Beijin anymore, she just huddled in a dark corner of the narrow building, buried her head in her knees, and shivered.

Only at night, like a walking dead, would she return to her residence, fall into a deep sleep, and wait for the unknown tasker to enter her nightmare.

Xu Beijin feels sorry for her because of what happened, but there is nothing he can do.There are not a few actors who lost themselves and regarded themselves as the role they played in the narrow building.

Over the years, Xu Bei has seen countless such actors, even in nightmares, such actors are not uncommon.

And the reason why he was so impressed by the female actor's nightmare was because...

end.

In the nightmare of this female cosplayer, there is apocalypse.

...Xu Beijin didn't regret his act of secretly pushing the missionaries into this nightmare, but he was still lost in thought because of the nightmare itself and its symbolic meaning.

After Dai Wu left, Xu Bei sat at the table for a long time, unable to recover.

Until the mastermind dragged him into a certain nightmare.

In the darkness, Xu Beijin opened his eyes.

In front of him was a dark indoor scene, and there was a dull and disturbing pungent smell.Only the windows farther away, revealing the scorching fire.The city outside the window is burning.

Xu Bei was stunned.

...He really entered this nightmare.

The doomsday realm where the sky fire descends into the world.
