Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Su Enya.

The female resident of the narrow building's fame at the bottom of the narrow building comes more from the fact that she is the neighbor of the bookstore owner than from herself.

A few years ago, when the taskers on the ground floor of the narrow building gathered outside Xu Beijin Bookstore, many taskers also focused on Su Enya, hoping to learn some news about Xu Beijin from her.

However, except for Mu Jiashi, the rest of the taskers all failed.

However, that doesn't mean they got nothing.They just didn't get information about Xu Beijin's nightmare, but they got some information about Su Enya's nightmare.

And now, Mu Jiashi exchanged some information about Su Enya with some people by using what he had gained in the nightmare of the ruins not long ago.

... about her nightmares.

There were indeed many people who had entered her nightmare, knowing about the well-furnished apartment building and the business district, but none of them seemed to have solved the nightmare.

True ending?

No one knows.

Perhaps the group of taskers who played the true ending had indeed gone to a higher level, but Mu Jiashi still felt a little strange that there was no news at all on the bottom of the narrow building.

Why is it this woman's nightmare that everyone seems to know so little about?Not even the slightest clue about the truth of this nightmare?

They just knew that in that nightmare, the furniture became spirits, and even the taskers would become furniture after death.Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the missionaries did not dare to explore her nightmare later.

But why is this so?Why is there such a strange phenomenon?

Nobody knows.

Her nightmares are like thousands of nightmares at the bottom of the narrow building, no one cares about her until... she suddenly disappears.

No one knows when Su Enya left the bottom floor of the narrow building.It seems that after the missionaries' interest in Xu Beijin disappeared, they stopped paying attention to his neighbors, and no one knew Su Enya's whereabouts.

She just disappeared so suddenly.

A little later, a few years later, she suddenly appeared again, and returned to the bottom of the narrow building.

This mysterious woman...

Mu Jiashi stared at her, and then slowly said: "'I fear a lot. The only thing I am not afraid of is death.'"

Su Enya squatted in the corner, with her back tightly against the wall, as if this would make her feel safe."Indeed," she whispered.

After a moment of silence, Mu Jiashi said again: "Since you know this sentence, then you should know about that nightmare. Then...you should know that when I learn something about your nightmare..."

"You will think of the nightmare at a higher level." Su Enya said in a low voice.

"...you are a resident of the bottom floor of the narrow building." Mu Jiashi said, "Why do you know the nightmare of the higher floor?"

"why not?"

Mu Jiashi frowned silently, staring at her.

Of course not.

The residents of the narrow building... It is true that the quest players will find other residents of the narrow building in their nightmares, but that is only limited to their respective floors.Residents at the bottom of the narrow building will only appear in the nightmare at the bottom of the narrow building.

There are never exceptions.

As for the circulation of the residents of the narrow building... It is true that the residents of the narrow building will disappear inexplicably, but can there really be such a coincidence?

It is true that someone happened to experience similar nightmares on different floors, but except for that one case, no one jumped out and claimed to have encountered the same thing.

Mu Jiashi looked at Su Enya and thought, besides, he had never seen this woman in that higher-level nightmare.

...things don't look quite right.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just wanted to talk about the end of the world."

The woman whispered, "What do you want to know?"

"There are two kinds of doomsday, right?" Mu Jiashi said, "Physical and spiritual. In your nightmares, what appears is the spiritual nightmare. People become electrical appliances..."

Su Enya was silent.

"...In that nightmare, there are also many lunatics..."

Su Enya said: "In the narrow building, there are lunatics everywhere."

Mu Jiashi's words stopped abruptly.

He knew what Su Enya was implying, but he didn't understand what she was implying.Most importantly, what does this have to do with her nightmare and the higher-level nightmare?

Su Enya looked up at him, and after a long time, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.She lowered her voice: "You haven't understood...you don't understand. You solved that nightmare, but you haven't solved the most critical problem..."

Mu Jiashi frowned, a flash of anger flashed in his heart.

When he admitted that he was a loser, he was even more reluctant to admit that he had actually solved that nightmare.He played the true ending, but that didn't mean anything, because he couldn't face the true ending.

The truth that he discovered and comprehended for himself.

He said: "If you really want to prompt me, you shouldn't be playing charades with me here."

Su Enya said: "But you also know that this is just a reminder. I can't tell you the truth directly, no one can." She said almost sadly, "When I saw you at the bottom of the narrow building, I Realized that this was an opportunity, but…”

She looked at him with the disappointment that was burnt to ashes in her eyes.

Mu Jiashi stood there with a deep voice: "So, that sentence...how did you know?"

In the final analysis, the question that Mu Jiashi has always been troubled by is why the words that appeared in the nightmare at the higher level appeared in the mouth of a resident at the bottom of the narrow building?And after he investigated this woman, he discovered that there were more mysteries lingering around her.

Mu Jiashi felt extremely confused and puzzled.

"You think I just 'know'." Su Enya stared at Mu Jiashi with complicated and meaningful eyes, "But, why can't it be, this sentence was originally said by 'I'?"

Mu Jiashi was shocked: "You...!"

Su Enya lowered her eyes and said, "That's all for now."

Mu Jiashi stood there, staring deeply at Su Enya, as if he understood something, but couldn't believe it.He said to himself: "Is it you...? Is it because of... the end of the day, or is it a game?"

Su Enya didn't answer his question.

Mu Jiashi was silent for a moment, said goodbye to her, and left the room.

He caught a glimpse of the door of Xu Beijin's bookstore, but he hesitated for a moment and did not visit.Because at this time, he was full of confusion and shock, completely unable to calm down and communicate with others.

He just thought distractedly, how could it be possible?how can that be possible?

Su Enya and that woman in that nightmare...are they the same person?How can it be?Why did she become like that, why...

Mu Jiashi returned to his house in deep thought.

He didn't know that Fei and Wu Jian had come to look for him, they just missed it.If they can meet each other, perhaps Fei and Wu Jian can solve some of the confusion in Mu Jiashi's heart.But this time, they didn't meet.

After Fei and Wu Jian realized that Mu Jiashi was not at home, they didn't waste any time, but simply left here to do other things.

The first thing they have to do is to pass on the problems of the narrow-house residents to other members of their organization, especially the founders of the organization.

When Fei was writing down her conjectures, Wu Jian murmured excitedly at the side: "This is really a big discovery! An unprecedented...terrible..."

Fei wrote a few lines, and then said, "Did you find out?"

Wu Jian was stunned: "What?"

"If they really have a problem," Fei used vague pronouns, "then, haven't they tried for so many years? Or, they tried, but failed."

Wu Jian was stunned there.

After a long time, he sighed and said softly: "Tried, but failed."

"Did the taskers not understand what they meant, or..." Fei showed a hesitant expression, "NE?"

"NE will definitely prevent them from telling... the truth." Wu Jian said, and he smiled wryly, "But... maybe, we have never thought about it in that direction. Who would have thought that the NPCs in the game... "

Fei was silent.

She thought, yes, who would have thought that the NPC in the game might be her own kind?

They are so preconceived that they don't even know now, in the past years buried in the ashes, did those crazy Narrow House residents try to hint their identities, or did they just become more and more immersed in madness?

Fei said: "That woman said...that they were just pretending to be crazy at first, but some people are really crazy."

Wu Jian opened his mouth, and after a while, he murmured, "But if they are really one of us...why is there such a difference from the beginning? If we...are all players."

If the residents of the narrow building and the outsiders are both players, then why did they face different situations from the beginning?

Scarlet Shensi does not belong, thinking of doomsday, nightmares, narrow buildings, thinking of different manifestations of doomsday...

She whispered: "Maybe it's because it wasn't just a doomsday?"

Wu Jian stared blankly at her, not understanding what she meant.

Fei shook her head, and said honestly: "We don't have any evidence yet. Everything is just speculation." She smiled wryly, biting her lip, but still couldn't help saying, "Maybe we are thinking too much."

Even if others say that their speculations are nothing more than conspiracy theories, they still firmly believe that they are reliable and well-founded inferences.But now, Fei thinks subconsciously, if it's really just that they think too much, it will be fine.

Otherwise, how hopeless would the situation be for those narrow building residents?

Fei shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She finished writing her deduction on the paper and folded it up.Then she took out another item card from her bosom.

She carefully took apart the item card.In the final analysis, these prop cards are just cards, which can be destroyed and torn.Now, Fei destroyed an item card and tore it into two thin pieces of paper, and the purpose was just to pass the news.

She put the piece of paper into the middle interlayer of the item card, and then glued the item card back together.From the outside, except for some wrinkles, this item card is almost the same.

She repeated this two more times, making a total of three such prop cards, and then drew a pattern in the corner of the prop card with a pen.

Afterwards, she stood up and said to Wu Jian: "I'll go out for a while, and you go to Mu Jiashi's side again to see if he's there. I'll come to you when I'm done."

Wu Jian nodded.

They left the room together.

Wu Jian went to Mu Jiashi's house again.It is at the end of the original avenue, you only need to go straight along the original avenue to arrive.

On the original avenue, he passed a female tasker.He felt that the person's figure looked familiar, so he subconsciously turned his head to look at her back.But he couldn't remember where he had seen that person's face anyway.

Wu Jian muttered in confusion: "An illusion?"

That was actually Jiang Shuangmei.

In the last nightmare, she entered the nightmare as Liang Shuang, and used an item card to change her appearance, but not her body shape, which made Wu Jian feel a little familiar.

She hurried across the Avenue of the Beginning, in order to find Ringo.

In the previous nightmare, Ringo once said that he hoped to solve this nightmare as soon as possible. For this reason, he could give some help to the rest of the taskers within his ability.

Although, they didn't solve the nightmare immediately, and Jiang Shuangmei didn't know whether Ringo's promise still worked.

But she couldn't help it, she had to come and try.

After Jiang Shuangmei left, Jiang Shuangmei was like a powerless young child who had a lot of money and was still ostentatious.The group of fallen people was very envious of the item cards of the pair of sisters, and they soon surrounded them. Although they talked about honey and swords, they seemed to have really formed a force.

But Jiang Shuangmei knew that they were just trying to grab the item cards left by her sister.

She is not a fool, so she quickly selected her reliable companions, formed a small group, and tried her best to avoid the former acquaintances among the fallen, and even changed a residence.

However, companions may not be reliable.

The naive Jiang Shuangmei, under the deception of her companions, chose to go to that nightmare to find the way alone.

However, when she rushed back to her residence, she found that the house was empty.All the item cards left by her sister have already been swept away.

And now, the only item card left on her body was actually snatched from the culprit who killed her sister, the "Devil's Mask".

She stood there expressionless, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

She thought, maybe it was another slander from "the devil's mask" who was deceiving her and ruining her.However, she actually felt that it made sense.

...Why?Why?

She thought, she is really incompetent.

Her sister was gone, and she couldn't even keep her sister's belongings.The companions she thought were just speculators flocking here for item cards.Now, she's a human being again.

But...she thought hesitantly and confused, what should she do now?

After a moment of silence, she finally remembered Ringo's promise in her blank mind.

Of course she knew that it was just a verbal promise, who knew if Ringo would be willing to help her?But she has no relatives and no one to rely on, if Lingo is really willing to help her with this little effort...

Jiang Shuangmei thought, maybe?

She just needs a little hope that she can get out of this terrible, deep and hopeless situation.

She just didn't want to let herself be swallowed up by evil thoughts.

... She wanted to kill that group of people.She wants to do it.She kills them and gets back those item cards.Then, she hid in the house forever, only being accompanied by dust and these relics left by her sister.

She really wanted to kill that group of people.

However, my sister would not want her to do this.

Jiang Shuangmei stood there, muttering to herself: "I listen to my sister..."

After a while, she hurriedly left the room.

Perhaps, she will not return to this sad place again.

A few minutes later, she came outside Ringo's house.However, to her disappointment, Ringo was not at home.

She was at a loss for a moment, feeling an unprecedented depression and despair.She finally realized that Ringo was not her savior either.It is useless to rely on anyone, and it is ridiculous to expect Lingo to help her.

Did she think that there was really a second Sister Jiang who would treat her like that?

Not anymore.

And she had lost her sister too.

She lowered her head blankly, looking at her fingers.She shuffled and walked slowly on the bottom floor of the narrow building.She didn't know where she wanted to go, she just walked aimlessly.

She felt a chill on her cheek, touched it, and realized that she was crying.

... What's the use of crying!waste!

She scolded herself, scolding bitterly, as if she wanted to vent that impotent, powerless emotion completely.

Finally, she stopped.

She found that her footsteps brought her to Ding Yi's house.

... Ding Yi.

When the name was finally remembered by her, she felt a pang of shame.

Why did she think of coming to Ding Yi?Ding Yi had clearly left the bottom floor of the narrow building.And even if Ding Yi hadn't left, the three of them had already parted ways.

Years ago, they had been best buddies, best partners.They are intimate, they talk about everything, and they are invincible in their nightmares.And at a certain moment, Ding Yi stopped, Jiang Shuangmei Jiang Shuangmei continued.

And when Jiang Shuangmei and Jiang Shuangmei also stopped, they realized that Ding Yi was already a distant object that they couldn't touch.

At certain moments, the naive Jiang Shuangmei would think, what would have happened if Ding Yi hadn't left at that time?After all, why did Ding Yi leave at that time?

The three of them have been living together in this dark narrow building, isn't it good?

Later, Jiang Shuangmei was left with only her older sister after all.Now, she also lost her sister, and also lost her so-called "companion".

She thought that she was so eager to choose a companion, in the eyes of others, maybe she just wanted to change a group of people to hug her thighs.From their point of view, Jiang Shuangmei has always been just Jiang Shuangjie's vassal and dragger.

...Actually, what they said was not bad.

After leaving her older sister, Jiang Shuangmei achieves nothing and fails miserably.

She lowered her head and turned to leave.

But at this moment, the door of the house behind her suddenly opened.A familiar female voice suddenly sounded: "...Shuangshuang?"

Jiang Shuangmei froze there.

... Ding Yi is back?

Lin Po has gone to find Xu Bei.

Obvious.

He didn't even go back to his house, but went directly to Xu Beijin's bookstore.

Xu Beijin opened his eyes from the nightmare, and it didn't take long to see Lin Po knocking lightly on the door and pushing the door open as if he had returned to his own home.

Before Xu Beijin could get out of his complicated thoughts, he thought carefully about the relationship between him and Lingo. Seeing Lino like this, he couldn't help complaining, "You might as well just move here."

Lingo looked at him in surprise: "Is it okay?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "No."

Then, he heard the little apple muffled "Oh".

...Xu Beijin straightened his face.

Lin Po was not lost for too long. After a while, he began to look at Xu Beijin carefully. He had never looked at Xu Beijin so seriously, as if he wanted to study this person to the bone.

Xu Beijin was made uncomfortable by him, so he could only ask, "What are you thinking?"

He always felt that it was not good to ask this question, because Ringo's magical brain circuit would always lead the topic to a magical and subtle quadrant.

Ringo said, "I want to see how your body is doing."

Xu Beijin said in bewilderment, "I'm out of that nightmare, and I'm fine."

"But you don't sleep all the time," said Ringo, "so don't you feel uncomfortable in the narrow building?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He looked at Ringo strangely, thinking, is this little apple... concerned about his body?

...how long have they known each other?

Xu Beijin sighed angrily and amusedly, and said, "Lingo, I don't necessarily need sleep..."

"But you don't need sleep, does it have anything to do with my concern about your physical state after you don't need sleep?" Ringo said in confusion, "I'm just worried about your body."

Xu Beijin looked away slightly uncomfortably.

Lingo stared at him for a while, and then said, "So you really still feel uncomfortable."

After a moment of silence, Xu Beijin said, "I can't let others enter my nightmare."

"If..." Lingo hesitated, "If you trust me, then you can sleep. I'll help you watch. I won't let anyone enter the portal of the bookstore."

Xu Bei was stunned.

He knew that this was a solution, at least in Lingo's view, if Xu Beijin simply didn't want others to enter his nightmare, then it would be good for him to guard the portal of the bookstore.

After all, with Ringo's strength and his prestige at the bottom of the narrow building, it was easy for him to do this kind of thing.

But Xu Beijin never thought about it that way.

because……

This is not just a question of whether he trusts Ringo, but more importantly, why does Ringo do this for him?Just to give him a good night's sleep?Just worried about his health?

So here comes the question again... Is it necessary for Ringo to be so worried about his health?

Everyone knew that this was just a game, and that he was sleepless in this game, and it was only because of mental exhaustion rather than physical exhaustion.And Ringo spent so much time and effort, made a big fuss, made a fuss...

At the end of the day, is it because he likes him?

Xu Beijin looked at Lin Po silently.

Lingo also tilted his head, and asked, "Don't you want to have a good sleep?"

Xu Bei thought with all his heart, of course, of course he wanted to, but...

but……

He sighed and said, "Ringo."

Ringo looked at him, waiting for his words.

"You trouble me a lot." Xu Beijin said, "If... your behavior and proposal like this are because you like me."

Ringo frowned in confusion.

After a while, he seemed to have finally figured it out, so he said with extra sincerity: "I like you, it's my business. You don't need to be troubled."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He looked at Ling Po for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

This little apple doesn't think that liking this kind of thing is the same as fighting?
