Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Before people entered the ultimate nightmare, they actually never thought that each of them was the master of this nightmare.

Even now, they do not have this actual feeling.They feel that they are in the torrent of a certain era, and everyone is just a small wave in it, but everyone feels that they are independent and will not be affected by this turbulent river.

Of course, it is impossible for them to affect this turbulent river.

It's the contrast between the big and the small.

Therefore, they still have a sense of nothingness that is outside the matter.When they open their eyes, they may think that they have gone back in time, or they may think that they have been deceived by this game.

However, they will not have a feeling that their every move will affect the fate of the human race.

until now.

Except for the three people in the bookstore on the ground floor of the narrow building, and Xiang Chenyu who is in the ultimate nightmare, no one knows why this strange window popped up in front of them, and the content of this window is: "Do you want to leave?" This nightmare, return to the narrow building? Yes/No Note that you must choose the same answer three times in a row before the game can confirm the corresponding result;

Your choices will have a crucial impact on this nightmare, and the outcome of this game.

"Your choice will directly affect the survival of artificial intelligence in the narrow building."

Ding Yi looked at the window that suddenly appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but startled, subconsciously stood still, and looked at his companions.

He Shujun and He Xi nodded towards her.

He Shujun even asked directly: "You also saw that strange window, right?"

"Yes..." Ding Yi said, "It seems that this is the choice we need to make? Perhaps this is the reason why Xu Beijin let us enter this ultimate nightmare..."

He Xi asked a little nervously, "What should we choose?"

Ding Yi looked at the man.

This is He Shujun's companion, but his personality is really different from He Shujun's.

This is an introverted, shy, shy man, and they go along the way, and no matter what Xi wants to do, he will first ask his two companions for advice.

For Ding Yi, such a person seemed too lacking in opinion.At least Ding Yi, who is a merchant of daily necessities, would not like such a subordinate;

But she had to admit that as a companion, He Xi's prudence was very commendable.

They had already arrived at He Shujun's high school, but they didn't find any problems.

It has become a scene in the fog, so it took them a long time to find the entrance.

They don't find much at school at first, but instead they encounter a group of aggressive lunatics on the school's playground.

Thanks to He Xi's caution, they didn't break in by mistake, but tried it out first.

Otherwise, they may have been caught in the jaws of a tiger by this time.

However, they were somewhat discouraged when they found nothing in He Shujun's high school.

They temporarily returned to the safety of an empty classroom, discussing what to do next.

Then, this inexplicable window appeared in their field of vision.

Ding Yi said: "Two choices: leave the nightmare, or stay in this nightmare."

He Shujun said: "It must be to leave the nightmare, right?" Her intuition told her that she should do this, but after thinking about it for a while, she felt that she should be more cautious.

Then he said, "But, I don't quite understand, why is there an option to stay in this nightmare?"

"Could this nightmare last forever?" He Xi asked tentatively.

He Shujun said as a matter of course: "But we have to go back to the narrow building to solve our predicament, right? No matter how we think about it, we have to go back to the narrow building. It's nothing to stay in a nightmare."

Ding Yi nodded and said, "You're right. But...we are all awake now. Those who have fallen into the ultimate nightmare, how will they choose?"

He Shujun was lost in thought.

It's hard to put yourself in the shoes of the lunatics, especially when their identities in their respective ultimate nightmares are tied to their pasts.The sinking in this situation seems to be like going back to the past.

return to the past?

Something flashed through He Shujun's mind.

At this time, He Xi said: "However, we have walked all the way, it seems... We haven't encountered those sinking people? I mean, the people sinking in the ultimate nightmare are not those who came out of the gray fog. "

Ding Yi was startled, recalled it for a while, and said uncertainly: "Yes, I remember...it seems to be the case."

They didn't encounter people who lost their minds in the gray fog.When the three of them walked through the gray fog, they did encounter some people, but those people still retained their sobriety and consciousness.They all know full well that this is the ultimate nightmare.

This seems very strange.

He Shujun thought for a while, and then made a bold guess: "Perhaps at this time, there are only awake people in the ultimate nightmare?"

Ding Yi looked at her.

He Shujun said: "Xu Beijin told us to stay awake and rational after entering this nightmare, and not to get lost in this nightmare. And we have always done this.

"Now this weird pop-up pops up...what if, he's keeping us awake and sane, just for the moment the pop-up pops up?

"Make our choice, and then we can leave the nightmare. This shows that this is the ending of this nightmare, and even the ending of the whole game. And our reason will let us make the right choice.

"Then backwards, if there are irrational people in the ultimate nightmare, then this pop-up window will not appear, right? This does not meet his requirements for us."

Ding Yi nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "In this case, it is necessary for everyone to choose to "leave the nightmare"? "

"Yes..." He Shujun said, "I'm sure. No matter what, we have to go back to the narrow building, right? Although the narrow building is just a game scene, this nightmare is even more false.

"What's the point of false truth?"

Ding Yi was stunned.

Then, the three of them clicked "Leave the nightmare" one after another.However, after they made their choice, the window only flashed and then disappeared.But nothing has changed in this nightmare.

Perhaps, they need to wait for others to make a choice.

At the same time, Mu Jiashi, Shen Yunju and the witch also made the same choice.

Mu Jiashi's tone was extremely calm: "Stay in the nightmare", this is a trap. "

They are still in the third operating room of the mental hospital.In the past period of time, they had conversations with Liang Xingyi over and over again, but they did not get any more useful information.

But the moment this pop-up window appeared, Mu Jiashi realized it.

He didn't know why this pop-up window appeared, whether it was because of Xu Beijin or because of other people in the ultimate nightmare.In short, they seem to be facing the end of this nightmare.

"The ending of this nightmare?" Shen Yunju asked with some doubts, "But why is the ending of this nightmare... so strange? Will there be such a strange pop-up window? It's like..."

"It's like a game. And this is indeed a game." Mu Jiashi replied calmly, "In the era of keyboard games, people can choose the ending of the game with a click of the mouse; and we are doing similar things now."

Shen Yunju was taken aback.

Mu Jiashi couldn't help sighing and said: "No matter how realistic the picture of this game is and how it fits the actual situation, it is only a game after all. And the game is composed of countless choices made by the players."

Shen Yunju nodded thoughtfully.

The sorceress muttered, "It is indeed time...it is time to face the final decisive battle..."

"The final battle?" Mu Jiashi thought for a moment, then smiled, "Perhaps, the choice of each of us is the key to our victory in this decisive battle."

Shen Yunju then asked: "So what should we choose?"

Mu Jiashi did not answer this question clearly. He explained: "What do you think these two choices symbolize?"

"Uh..." Shen Yunju hesitated for a moment, "Going back to the narrow building means... facing reality? And staying in the nightmare means escaping? I think so."

Mu Jiashi nodded, and then said: "Have you noticed? The reminder said that this choice will not only affect the ending of the game, but also affect this nightmare."

"what does that mean?"

"This choice reminds me. Do you think, will this ultimate nightmare restart? And if it restarts, can it...stay forever at the moment when the end has not yet come?"

Shen Yunju thought for a moment, then his face changed slightly.

Mu Jiashi said: "Theoretically, this is achievable." He paused for a moment, and then said, "As long as the period before the end of the day is repeated and repeated. Anyway, nightmares are always possible. Rebooted. It's always been like this."

He fell silent suddenly.

Both Shen Yunju and the witch were silent.

After a while, the sorceress murmured, "That's just... a fake... Truman's world."

Shen Yunju took a light breath, and he said: "And NE... has always been able to tamper with our memory."

This fact made them fall into a more painful situation in an instant.

They can choose to wallow in false goodness forever.The apocalypse never happened, and they still stayed on their home planet, leading a peaceful, ordinary and normal life.

They didn't struggle to survive in the bloody, chaotic, and depressing nightmare, and they didn't live a dead and desperate life in the narrow building shrouded in gray mist...

They can go back to the beginning, back to the origin when nothing happened.

Even, they can forget those past, those pains and those memories.They can give up the pursuit of the truth and just live happily and dullly.

But that's fake!

Things have happened.It's never that they want those things to not happen, and those things really don't have to happen.

They are now facing an ultimate choice.A painful but unavoidable choice.

On the side, Liang Xing looked at them blankly, not understanding what they were talking about.

At this moment, the three questers really confirmed that this man who is extremely important in the game setting is just an NPC.

Perhaps the actor who once played this man has sunk into a nightmare?

There are all kinds of possibilities.

In the end, Mu Jiashi just looked at him quietly, then turned his eyes away without interest.

"So, to stay in this nightmare means succumbing to the illusory dream shaped by artificial intelligence. But it's a nightmare..."

Mu Jiashi couldn't help but paused.

He suddenly thought, sometimes, the name represents the initial impression of the same thing.

And they have always called the copy in this game a "nightmare".

Because it is a "nightmare", they should naturally hate, fear, resist, escape or fight.I am afraid that few people would really like such a nightmare.

And now, when they are faced with this choice, they also instinctively tend to leave this nightmare.

why?

Because the narrow building sounds dilapidated, dirty and old, but at least it is not a nightmare!

Perhaps such a tendency cannot be said to determine their final choice, but it is an influence after all.

Moreover, they also called this nightmare "the ultimate nightmare."They think that the arrival of this nightmare means that they are about to reap the end of this game—they are about to escape from this game in a real sense.

In this case, who would choose to stay in this game?They will be free in no time!

Thinking about it, Mu Jiashi felt that this game was really interesting.

From various perspectives, this game is even helping them, helping them wake up their memories, and helping them escape from the narrow building.Even at this moment, there are some details reminding them.

——Nightmare is not a good thing.leave now.Hurry up and make that choice, hurry up and get out of this damn, scary, nightmare.

They shouldn't be indulging in a false dream, let alone one that is essentially a nightmare.

Mu Jiashi thought, sugar-coated cannonballs.

And their choice is directly linked to the ending of artificial intelligence.

Mu Jiashi speculates that this is because whether artificial intelligence can continue to manage the narrow building, in the final analysis, whether humans will continue to give it this responsibility.

Going back to the narrow building means that human beings intend to face the reality and no longer continue to bury themselves in the protection of artificial intelligence.

Staying in the nightmare means that human beings continue to escape, continue to be content with the status quo, and are even willing to sink directly into the false dream created by artificial intelligence.

Mu Jiashi thought, this is really something that can only happen in the game.

If this is what happened in reality, the situation would appear a little more realistic.

For example, what about their daily necessities?What do they eat and drink, and what do they survive on?

Only the game will draw those living items from the card pool out of thin air.

Thinking about it, Mu Jiashi felt that it was really ridiculous.

He said firmly to his two companions: "Choose to leave the nightmare."

All three made their own decisions.

But things didn't change much, except that the window disappeared, the nightmare didn't change.

Shen Yunju asked: "Is it necessary to wait for other people's choices? Must everyone make the same choice?"

"It seems to be." Mu Jiashi said, "However, since Xu Beijin emphasized the need to stay sober and rational when he notified others before, then everyone should make the same choice.

"As long as they are still awake."

Xu Bei looked at the number "1" with a headache.

what are you doing...

At the most critical moment, another lunatic suddenly appeared? !

If only the maniac had been there a second earlier, the situation wouldn't have been such a headache and a dilemma.

The window to make a decision is open.People have to make decisions now.

Humanity has no way out.But... There is still a lunatic who is addicted to the ultimate nightmare among them!

It just happened to be at that moment!

Xu Beijin even wondered if NE woke up?That's why you came here on purpose?Want them to fail?

But looking at the control panel in front of him that was still operating normally, Xu Bei knew that it was just his imagination.

He took a deep breath.

Beside him, Lin Po quietly held his hand, he noticed that Xu Beijin became calmer, and then said softly: "Don't worry..."

Xu Beijin gave a wry smile, and said, "Don't worry. It's up to people to plan things, and God to make things happen. We've done our best."

Ringo turned her head and kissed his lips.

Xu Beijin lowered his eyes and finally calmed down slowly.

However, he still said unwillingly: "Let's see who this guy is."

After saying that sentence to Chen Yu and the selection pop-up window appeared, a new window appeared on the control panel.

The above shows the total number of people who are about to make a decision in the ultimate nightmare now, as well as the number of people who have made a choice and the number of people who have not made a choice.

Under the two options of "leave the nightmare" and "stay in the nightmare", the number of the former has risen rapidly, while the latter is still zero.

However, Xu Beijin was always a little apprehensive, thinking that that number might become one at any time.

Just like what he saw before.

Obviously the situation is very good, but it falls short.

He, his companions, and even all the humans in the narrow building have done their best.No one was holding back, and everyone did their best to do what they were given.

Now the number of people who are still awake in the ultimate nightmare accounts for one-fifth of the total number of people who entered the nightmare at the beginning.This number has greatly exceeded Xu Beijin's imagination.

But there was an omission.That one, lonely number just happened to appear.

If he really failed because of this... Xu Beijin himself would feel more discouraged than ever.

More importantly, he didn't know at all, if they failed this time, would they have a chance to try again.

Thinking about it, Xu Beijin inevitably sighed.

He hid the window, returned to the panel of the ultimate nightmare, and then chose the lonely number to see who this person was.

The three of them, Xu Beijin and Lin Po, and Xie Zhijin, who had been silent on the sidelines and pretended to be an invisible person, all gathered around at this moment, casting their gazes over at the same time.

The next moment, both Xu Beijin and Lin Po were stunned.

It's Su Enya.

It can also be called Xie Ji and Ke Xu, but at this time, she does appear on the screen with Su Enya's appearance and appearance.

Around her, Fei, Wu Jian, Jiang Shuangmei, and Ye Lan gathered together.

These five people actually got together!

Xu Bei couldn't help frowning.

Su Enya is crazy?

This sounds really unbelievable.

Su Enya is their companion, and she is also the one who has heard Xu Bei's exhortations to keep awake in the nightmare.She knows the seriousness of the matter and her mission.

How could she sink into a nightmare at this moment?

This question also appeared in the brains of the other four people present.

Now, the hearts of Fei, Wu Jian, Jiang Shuangmei and Ye Lan are also full of confusion and deep worry.

They all looked at Su Enya.

And Su Enya stood there quietly with a dazed, dazed and ecstatic expression on her face.No one knows what she is thinking?

Xu Bei looked at her for a while, frowning tightly.Then, he began to look at the scene around them.

Su Enya's problem at this moment may have something to do with where they came.

Before that, Fei, Wu Jian and others separated from Mu Jiashi and Ding Yi, and went to Xie Zhijin's community.

The original intention was to find the place where the gray fog first filled, but they couldn't find anything in Xie Zhijin's community.

Wu Jian's computer is also dead, and they don't know where to go now.

But at this time, they met Su Enya.

Su Enya showed extreme panic and anxiety. She yelled that they should leave quickly and could not stay here any longer.She said the neighborhood was finished.

Ruined?

Jiang Shuangmei almost subconsciously thought of "Chengjing's furniture".Her sister remained in that nightmare, and did not know when she would be rescued.

And that was Su Enya's nightmare.

They have now come to a residential area, perhaps a similar thing happened in this residential area.

Sure enough, they soon learned from Su Enya that there were problems with many facilities in this community, and they all had great hostility towards living people.

Therefore, they quickly left the community.

But at this time, Wu Jian also suggested a thought: "What if this is the clue we need to find?"

And Su Enya said without hesitation: "My nightmare is this type. What do you want to know? I can tell you everything."

Shameless.

Dai Wu is here, Su Enya is not so eccentric.But she appeared extremely aggressive in the extreme panic, and every sentence seemed to be filled with guns and sticks, making people afraid to talk to her more.

Soon, they came to a new scene.This is the entrance of a hotel, and there is a stand beside it, saying who is getting married to whom on this day.

They were about to discuss the next action, and suddenly found that Su Enya seemed to be stunned for a long time;

Then, they discovered that a pop-up window suddenly popped up in front of them.

What happened was dizzying, but the four taskers quickly figured out what happened, and quickly turned their worried eyes on Su Enya.

What happened to Su Enya?Can she still make the right choice?

Fei tentatively asked: "Are you okay? Did you remember anything?"

Su Enya said in a dreamy tone: "This is... This is mine, the wedding scene."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

A wedding in the apocalypse... at this moment.They seem to be able to conjure up countless possible tragic endings with just a little thought.

But they came to Su Enya's wedding scene at this moment.

"Today is my wedding..." Su Enya said like a ghost, and then her tone gradually became joyful and joyful, "I'm getting married!"

Following her words, the original ordinary clothes on her body also changed.

She put on a white wedding dress, became radiant, had exquisite makeup, and even held a bouquet in her hand.

She picked up one skirt corner alone, and said to herself, "The bride... it's time to enter."

Around her, the four missionaries felt chills when they saw her like this.

Jiang Shuangmei murmured, "She... has sunk into this nightmare."

"The Truman Show", a movie.The hero lives in a false world, shaped by others.
