Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Chapter 27: dilemma

It was not that he had noticed the problem with the door alone. The only woman present also quietly approached, pulled the doorknob with her hand, and then took a slight breath.

Mu Jiashi glanced at the female tasker.

She has a good look, and what is particularly impressive is her cyan hair. This characteristic made Mu Jiashi suddenly startled, and then he blurted out subconsciously in surprise: "You are..."

The green-haired woman nodded and said softly: "Sorry, I hope you can hide my identity."

Mu Jiashi nodded.

He knows this green-haired woman. Her name is Ding Yi.

This is a well-known commodity merchant on the ground floor of the narrow building, nicknamed "Billionaire".

Mu Jiashi knew her because a long time ago, when he was leading the boss, Ding Yi introduced a customer. Although he didn't have much contact, he was deeply impressed by this cyan-haired woman at that time.

Cyan hair is rare, and Mu Jiashi has heard some rumors that Ding Yi's hair color was originally black, but later it turned into this hazy cyan because of a special prop card.

But... Item card?

In addition to the transformation card or the fusion card, what prop card can directly affect the appearance of a person? But if it is a modified card or a fusion card, the duration is too long.

Although curious, Mu Jiashi couldn't ask Ding Yi directly.

In addition to appearance characteristics, in the final analysis, it may be because Ding Yi's personality and identity are very different. She is obviously a commodity merchant, but in daily life she is very introverted and reluctant to talk. It is hard to imagine how she became a businessman.

But... then Mu Jiashi thought again, maybe it's just because Ding Yi could get to know more narrow-loud residents?

The supply of all commodity merchants comes from the residents of the narrow buildings. Taskers are outsiders in the narrow building, and their friendship with the residents in the narrow building directly determines the quality of life they can have.

For commodity merchants, friendship with the residents of narrow buildings is even more important.

The vast majority of taskers, just like the three men a few days ago, would simply ignore them even if they met the residents of the narrow buildings.

However, commodity merchants such as Ding Yi, or some other tasks with special status, they need to deal with the residents of narrow buildings.

Although the background color of the narrow building is still endless gray mist and black nightmare, these special occupations and identities still add a little bright color to the life of the narrow building during the day.

The dialogue between Mu Jiashi and Ding Yi, and their struggle with the doorknob, lasted only a moment, and no one noticed...except Ringo.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the two people strangely.

Mysterious...what's the identity of that woman?

Ringo was curious for a second, and then looked away boredly. As the uncrowned king of the narrow building, Ringo has never dared to be interested in many things.

Many people doubt that he is still alone. Except for occasionally seeing him leave the house, wander around or participate in nightmares, he is almost like a transparent person.

However, he does have a force value that others admire.

Some taskers very much hope to use his strength value as a boost, but they have never been able to attack Ringo's brain circuit. Generally speaking, Ringo can't be said to be a particularly bad-tempered person, and sometimes even when others take the initiative to provoke him, he doesn't bother to bother about it.

However, it seems that the temper is pretty good, and Ringo, who has a baby face, sometimes suddenly goes mad and becomes a complete mad dog.

And when he went crazy, at least so far, no one could stop him.

The task force who had the same nightmare as Ringo was generally respectful and afraid of him.

But Ringo himself didn't care much. He leaned against the wall, the quarrel of the three men in his ears. He thought, how could this group of taskers be so...stupid?

Even he knows that most of the nightmares this time require cooperation-no, all nightmares basically require the cooperation of the task force, nothing more than the degree of cooperation.

Now, they are arguing?

Ringo felt a little bored.

I have to say that he actually used nightmares as a weapon to pass the time. That being the case, the performance of these taskers in the nightmare is naturally part of it. He treats these nightmares as novels, or movies and TV series, that he feels fascinating.

Now, he felt that a group of poor actors were ugly in front of him.

From this perspective, Ringo should have a common language with the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Slowly type a question mark."

"What are they doing? What are they doing?"

"...This may be human."

"No, wait, what about the black murderer? Why is it gone?"

At this moment, the second brother also said coldly and impatiently: "You all **** shut up for me!"

The selfish ghost, the dead ghost and the boss, looked at him at the same time. The latter shut up unwillingly, the first two wanted to continue to grab the conversation, and the second brother kicked one by one to the wall.

The force used is not great, and the mastermind is not yet able to prohibit this behavior. However, deterrence is full of meaning.

Before he could say anything for the dead ghost, the selfish ghost blushed, struggling to stand up from the ground, and was about to swear.

"I advise you to be more sober." The second brother sneered coldly, "Look at what's going on now."

"What's the situation?" The selfish ghost retorted unwillingly, "A safe situation!"

The second brother sneered: "Yes-so, what you just said, where is the man in black who chased you?"

The selfish ghost was speechless for a while. At this time, he finally realized the atmosphere on the promenade that was not right, hesitated and shut up.

The third child worriedly said: "Now the bedroom can't go back." He also observed the problem with the bedroom door, "This means that we may be stuck in this round of nightmares."

"Trapped?"

The third child said: "We... we can go to the end of the corridor and take a look. I suspect... we can't get out."

A minute later, several people walked to the end of the corridor. The door that was supposed to be connected to the open space of the parking lot outside suddenly disappeared without a trace at this moment, leaving only a wall barely blocking them in front of them.

The boss's eyes were almost staring out: "Damn, that means, we can only wait for death?!"

"It's not waiting for death." Although the second brother doesn't have the mind of the third child, he understands one thing. "The man in black does not know where they are going, meaning-we can't even wait for death. ."

Boss: "..."

He kicked the wall bitterly.

The selfish ghost sneered and said: "Who made you run out, you don't run out..."

The second brother turned his head to look at him, and said coldly: "In this way, if you say more bb, you will die and let the nightmare restart, how about it?"

The selfish ghost retorted unconvincingly: "I'm not the only one talking!"

The boss kicked him directly.

The selfish ghost wailed and fell down.

The second brother glanced at him approvingly: "Good job."

Although the boss is not a good thing, his temper is stupid and his brain is stupid, but he is at least obedient.

"That..." The third child suddenly asked, "You just said that a man in black is chasing you... So, is he holding a knife?"

While gloating at the selfish ghost, the dead ghost replied: "Yes, Machete."

The third child's eyes lit up, and he murmured: "Machete... the man who cut us in the bedroom just now also used a knife..."

Only Mu Jiashi immediately followed his thoughts: "The man in black just disappeared suddenly while chasing us."

He glanced at the third child and said in unison: "So he can only appear in one scene."

The second brother couldn't understand it, so he couldn't help asking, "Is there anything I can use here?"

"If he can only appear in one scene, we can cooperate." Mu Jiashi said naturally, "According to what you just said, the man in black will only appear in the bedroom for one minute, which means that we only need to drag If you live in black for one minute, the bedroom will be safe and you can try more numbers."

He finished saying this in one breath, and suddenly startled, facing everyone's eyes looking at him, he smiled indifferently: "No, don't listen to me. I'm just a trash, a loser..." He sighed faintly.

The youngest and Ding Yi looked at him at the same time, their eyes were very strange.

The two of them are probably the only two present, who can understand the value of what Mu Jiashi said.

Because from Mu Jiashi's words, it can be seen that Mu Jiashi's concept is very team-oriented.

In the nightmare of the narrow building, as long as one person hits the true ending, he can take other taskers to a higher floor.

Therefore, in theory, as long as the task force in a nightmare is sufficiently selfless and united, the true ending is not an unattainable dream.

For example, in this nightmare, if they do as Mu Jiashi said, and the promenade quartet keeps dragging the man in black to prevent him from attacking the bedroom quartet, then the bedroom quartet can ignore the black man. Attack, report the number all the way, no matter how many times you try, you can always get the correct answer smoothly.

In this way, they have at least one key piece of information in this nightmare.

However, the question is, is the promenade group of four really willing to do this? Mu Jiashi, who proposed this plan, and Ringo, who was already crushed by force, might be willing, what about selfish ghosts and dead ghosts?

Almost at the same time when Mu Jiashi proposed this plan, the selfish ghost immediately jumped up from the ground and retorted loudly: "What's the joke?! Want me to hold the man in black? Are you crazy! Are you so selfish!" You are the Virgin, you are willing to do this, but don't pull me up!"

Facing such accusations, Mu Jiashi remained silent.

The third child and Ding Yi stopped talking, and in the end, the two introverted people still couldn't say anything.

The second brother didn't have so many worries. He broke his fingers and said, "So, as expected, you should go to death."

The face of the selfish ghost suddenly changed. He shouted insults at everyone present and looked at them with hatred. He said, "Go to die? I'm going to die? You bunch of selfish ghosts!"

The boss rolled his eyes and wanted to kick him again. He suddenly felt tired.

Why did he quarrel with this kind of person for so long just now? It must be too boring, or want to solve the depression and fear of being killed by the black man in the dark bedroom just now.

The scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

The nightmare of this round is stuck on the promenade, but how to start the nightmare of the next round?

And... theoretically, it's impossible for the mastermind to give a dead end?

The eight taskers on the promenade fell into silence. At this time, Xu Beijin had already left the bookstore where he was with the audience in the live broadcast room and strolled around the service area.

He originally wanted to see the movement on the tasker's side again, but the audience kept beating him on the barrage, and Xu Beijin was naturally moved.

The service area is actually quite lively, with several small restaurants, supermarkets, canteens and so on. The actor is not there, and the actors are also conscientiously continuing their own affairs.

The appearance of Xu Beijin made several actors give him a strange look, but they ignored him. Many actors have become accustomed to such days, maybe they would think that Xu Beijin is still a tasker.

In a sense, many actors have become NPCs in the true sense.

Xu Bei took a deep breath, and did not pay attention to the actors. After going around in the service area, he probably got to know the pattern, and he went straight to the supermarket.

"Welcome... Ah, it's you." Behind the cash register, the young man suddenly smiled. "So, are you planning to join us in the battle to defeat NE?"

Xu Beijin shook his head.

At this time, the audience was rushing to type out what they wanted to know on the barrage. Xu Bei glanced at the barrage, and according to the audience's thoughts, turned the topic to this nightmare.

"I'm just curious, what the truth of this nightmare is like."

The youth's eyes lit up: "It's really rare to be curious like you."

Xu Bei couldn't help but sighed, thinking to himself, is this young man about to start talking about his... the battle to defeat NE?

He can understand the meaning of youth, because most of the actors are no longer interested in nightmares. Their lives have no fun and are muddled, like a real NCP, they just follow a fixed script and carry on their lives day after day.

That may not be called life anymore.

Because of this, it is really rare for a actor like Xu Beijin to actively explore in the nightmare and curious about the truth of the nightmare.

Of course, that is also because he has obtained a live broadcast system, which allows him to remotely see the actions of other taskers, and he will naturally become interested in nightmares. His life like stagnant water has been changed.

The young man shrugged and looked at Xu Beijin with a surprised look. He turned back to the topic and said, "I am just a supporting role... I have not received much information."

Xu Beijin nodded and said, "I'm just a group performer."

"Group performance?" The young man glanced at him, "I thought you would be..."

"Villain?"

The young man couldn't help laughing. He nodded: "Well, that's what I think."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He scowled.

"Look at it, it's like you are now, it makes people think that you are a big villain." The young man laughed, "Besides, group performances are not really unknown. Many group performances are indeed background boards. , But in some movies, the characters played in friendship are the real soul figures."

Xu Bei couldn't help being startled: "Movie...?"

He was in a daze, his memory seemed to go back to the time when he hadn't arrived in the narrow building. For many people, it really seems like a world away.

But the young people talked about it casually, as if it were an ordinary topic.

The young man asked keenly: "You want to talk about the narrow building?"

Xu Bei was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

The young man thought for a while and patted Xu Beijin's shoulder: "Be optimistic, brother." He looked at the thick dark circles on Xu Beijin's face and couldn't help asking, "You won't have insomnia for a long time. Bar?"

Xu Bei looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"For the good, we are actually experiencing the second life only once." The young man said with a smile, "but for the bad, since it is the second life, the pressure has become a little bit more."

Xu Bei couldn't help but smiled: "You are very optimistic."

The young man shrugged: "I'm not optimistic, I can't live in the narrow building." He changed his voice and said, "By the way, about this nightmare..."

Xu Beijin suddenly came back to his senses, only then realized that the topic of a while ago had completely deviated.

He glanced at the live broadcast room and found that there was not much doubt on the barrage. Most of the audience thought their conversation just now was just a complaint about the game company and the mastermind by two players who unfortunately became the actors.

Xu Bei's eyes were slightly deep, and his thoughts couldn't help but stray. When he recovered, the young man in front of him just leaned forward and took a bag of fudge from one of the shelves, and then handed it to him.

Xu Bei took it blankly.

The young man smiled mysteriously: "It would be too boring to tell you the truth directly. In fact, there are relevant clues in your bookstore. I think the task force will also go to your bookstore later." He pointed to the jelly in Xu Beijin's hand again, "This is just an apologize. Although the things in the nightmare can't be taken out, it's not bad to taste it."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He hesitated for a moment, looked at the live broadcast room again, and then said, "Okay." He said again, "Thank you."

"No thanks," the young man said, "I don't want it either. I have lost another companion."

At that moment, a look of almost sadness flashed in his eyes.

They were silent for a moment at the same time.

The young man said again: "Ah, my name...my name is Dai Wu."

"Xu Bei end."

Dai Wu nodded, then smiled and said, "It turned out to be you. I should have thought of your dark circles..."

Xu Beijin nodded in embarrassment.

Dai Wu said, "You really are a harmless person..."

Xu Bei thought for a while and shook his head: "No, I am not." His eyes darkened, and the pale man with dark circles on his face said calmly, "It's just that I don't care about some things."

Dai Wuyi was taken aback.

At this moment, it is difficult to say how many complicated thoughts have been transferred in his mind.

He was even thinking, maybe he doesn't know people clearly? Maybe Xu Beijin is really a terrible person? After all, this ability to say that you can change your face...

Xu Beijin smiled suddenly: "...So, it's actually quite scary, isn't it?"

Dai Wu: "..."

He said angrily, "Hey, you guy..."

Xu Bei smiled and raised the jellybean in Dai Wu's hand, and then left the supermarket.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was amazed.

"Wow, Beibei is pretty skinny."

"It should be said that only we can use this method to skin."

"Hahahaha, seeing the face of the opposite brother changed."

"Oh, no useful information was obtained..."

"The professionalism of the reasoning boss shocked me."

"Look at the little window! Those taskers seem to plan to act!"

During the time Xu Beijin left the bookstore, the picture on the promenade was shrunk into a small window and placed in the lower right corner of the picture in the live broadcast room.

Those taskers are actually not idle, they have been trying to break the game.

The whole length of the corridor is actually more like a special scene that can only be found in a dream. The window was open, but it was blocked by an air wall. The light is bright near the parking lot, but the closer it is, the more gloomy the surroundings will become.

They checked every door, window and all corners, and the final result was-there was no way to go.

The boss said frustratedly: "Really, is there a bug in the main brain? This is really a dead end?"

The second brother sneered and said, "Have you ever heard of any nightmares that trap the tasker to death? Except for those nightmares of eternal collapse..." He paused, "There must be a way to break the game, but we didn't find it. "

It should be fortunate that when he said this, the audio source of the live broadcast room was not from their side. Otherwise, at this time, the audience in the live broadcast room should be curious about what is meant by "the nightmare of eternal collapse"?

At this moment, the third child suddenly hesitated and said: "Did you hear any sound?"

"what?"

The taskers looked at each other and quieted down. On the promenade, a strange sound suddenly poured into their eardrums from far to near.

The second brother frowned and listened for a while, and said, "It's that bedroom."

They cast a glance at each other, then moved on unanimously, and walked quietly towards the bedroom.

What kind of sound did they hear?

It's the painful, stern screams of women, mixed with crying and wailing, and loud sounds—boom, boom, boom. The sound of chopping meat.

The steps of the taskers gradually became sluggish and hesitant, and they felt fear. It was as if the sound of chopping meat was chopped on their backs.

The third child said like a dream: "That man, he took... a machete..."

He suddenly remembered that in the last round of nightmares, he had heard a woman crying in a trance. He thought it was Ding Yi's cry, but now it seems... it doesn't seem to be?

In that dark room, there seemed to be another **** killing. Close to them, but they didn't find it at all.

"What happened in the room?" The dead ghost couldn't help asking, "Is he...killing someone?"

At this moment, they stood quietly in front of the door. Inside the door, the woman's wailing has disappeared, and the original silence has been restored; outside the door, the taskers are hesitant and in a dilemma.

Mu Jiashi said softly: "Perhaps...this has something to do with the truth of this nightmare. Even if the quest person disappears, the nightmare will continue..."

He seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, the man in black holding a machete suddenly broke out of the bedroom door, and the tip of the knife even dripped with bright red blood!
