It takes three minutes to get out of the promenade, get in the car, and reach the service area at the fastest speed.

And they had already wasted two minutes in the promenade before.

It takes eight minutes for the selfish ghost to report the number and report eight numbers...no, seven minutes. In other words, they only have two minutes left to collect information in this service area.

...But they don't know what the result will be if all the numbers are reported correctly.

Thinking of this, the youngest's heart couldn't help but feel a little bit of annoyance.

In fact, someone should stay there, otherwise, they don't know what will happen after all the numbers are reported correctly.

And expecting selfish ghosts to tell frankly?

The third child will not make such meaningless assumptions.

In the car he was sitting in, he happened to be there for the dead ghost, so the third child hesitated and asked directly: "What did you encounter in the last nightmare?"

He rolled his eyes at him for the dead ghost, and said, "You want to know? Okay... Anyway, things have gone smoothly, and it was completely upset by your side."

He complained a few more times, looking very angry and unhappy.

The third child remained silent.

After a while, he finally finished complaining for the dead ghost, so he began to elaborate on what happened after he and the selfish ghost arrived in the service area in the last round of nightmares:

"After we arrived at the service area, I don’t know when you will end suddenly anyway... I was frightened by your first round of nightmares. So, we went around the service area first, and the supermarket was in the innermost area. It was quite big, so the guy and I walked in and took a look.

"Because I was arguing with that guy about the man in black, and the cashier had a little reaction, we asked... and then there was no more. Haha."

He sneered again.

In the front driver's seat, the second brother said to him: "It looks like you want to stay in that dark room for a while?"

She shrank in her seat for the dead ghost and stopped talking.

The third child listened to the process he described and thought about it carefully, but didn't find any problems. but…

To be honest, he doesn't trust the selfish ghosts and the dead ghosts. He can trust the eldest brother and the second brother, Ding Yi, Mu Jiashi, and even Ringo, but he can't completely believe these two taskers who are in conflict with them.

So he doubted their rhetoric.

But their actions on behalf of the dead ghosts sounded no problem...

Did they really tell the truth?

The third child couldn't help getting worried, always feeling that this round of nightmares would cause some accidents.

In the live broadcast room, when he saw seven names appearing under the scene of the service area, Xu Beijin knew that the pedestrian had arrived in the live broadcast room, so he cut his perspective to the service area.

Before that, he and the audience had been paying attention to the selfish ghosts in the dark bedroom.

After the rest of the taskers left, the selfish ghost stayed alone in the dark space without changing his face. He also remembered the series of numbers that the youngest had told him before he left, and now he is boringly counting.

This surprised the audience: "Oh, is it hidden?"

"It seems that IQ is not that low... Why is it so stupid to fight against everyone just now?"

"Maybe it was deliberate? Just want to monopolize the results after the count."

"...But, he doesn't know, has he figured out all the numbers?"

"Actually... I have a question."

"The reasoning boss, you say."

"Have you paid attention to the issue of time?"

Xu Bei's inspiration flashed, and couldn't help asking: "You mean, they lied to other taskers?"

"what? What?"

"Ah! Beibei and the reasoning boss are so eloquent, why I don't understand anything [crying]"

"That's... the last nightmare, the time was at least eight minutes. They stayed on the promenade for more than two minutes, plus the time on the road, so after arriving at the service area, there should be about three minutes for them to ask for information everywhere.

"Do you think these three minutes are enough for them to find out who in the service area knows useful information?

"Beibei has taken us to the service area before. It is quite large and there are a lot of people. Why can they find the cashier in the supermarket in three minutes? Moreover, there is our Beibei in the service area. There is a distraction."

"Damn, it makes sense!"

"So they are deliberately deceiving?"

"I think it is more likely that one of these two people knows some of the key information in this nightmare, so he can go straight to the cashier."

Seeing this speculation, Xu Bei couldn’t help adding: “But in this case, another contradiction arises-if they already knew what the cashiers in the supermarket knew, then three minutes would not be enough for them. Ask something?"

"Damn, Beibei is right!"

"Then they didn't deliberately conceal the key information... but is it necessary? Didn't it mean that all the taskers in the dungeon will rise to the floor together?"

"Because, they have been wrong? I don't think their irritability is fake. Maybe they really asked something, but because the bedroom is dead, they got stuck in the middle of the road."

"I'm even more curious... these two mismatched people actually united?"

"It's not necessarily... They may ask for information separately. Maybe the one who stayed in the bedroom knows something...?"

"But the two of them were in trouble together just now."

"In this case, you said... Will the taskers present find this time problem? Will they also find out, but they didn't say it? Because they don't want to cooperate with this person in the bedroom?"

"...I'm done. Not only can I not solve the mystery of the dungeon, but I don't even know what these taskers are thinking."

"This kind of game really doesn't suit me."

"The reasoning boss, please."

"? Well... what I can think of is, what information they may have, they need to enter this bedroom, want to seize the opportunity... or something? Just now they were scolding a few people in the bedroom for trash, maybe they also took advantage of the situation to enter the bedroom. Plan."

"Oh, I should have turned my perspective to them just now."

"But reporting the numbers is also very anxious. I can only say that there are more scenes, and Beibei doesn't know how to adjust the angle of view... It turns out that the director is not good at it (no)."

"It's rude, it turned out to be the North Lead [hold fist]"

"It's okay, the TV series also needs a little suspense to look good..."

"you are right."

The barrage in the live broadcast room was full of laughter. For the audience, they are from the perspective of God anyway, although they will be entangled and curious, but in the end they can always know what they should know.

Xu Beijin cares a little bit about this, after all, the selfish ghost's performance in the dark bedroom is somewhat different from his usual grumpy and brainless image.

But without knowing what happened to the selfish ghosts and the dead ghosts in the third round of nightmares, he was also helpless about the current situation.

Maybe he can ask Dai Wu again...?

This is his actor, a greater advantage over the tasker.

However, the last time I went to look for Dai Wu, the guy was mysterious; this time I wanted to ask clearly, but I didn't know if the other party would tell him.

While thinking, he turned his perspective back to the service area.

The seven taskers walked into the service area mightily, then scattered around, looking for clues individually.

The structure of the entire service area is roughly a reciprocal shape, with the entrance below. There are a number of canteens and snack bars on both sides. On the left side of the interior are public restrooms, sinks, etc. There is a large supermarket at the end and some shops on the right. Among them is Xu Beijin’s bookstore.

In the open space in the middle, there are flower beds, benches and so on.

The dead ghost said just now that he and the selfish ghost nearly asked the cashier in the supermarket about the identity of the man in black, so now, he also went straight to the supermarket.

The third, Ding Yi, and Mu Jiashi all followed him, but the eldest and second elder brother did not plan to go together, they went in other directions at will.

As for Ringo's movements, naturally no one asked, he chose to go to the supermarket with them for the dead ghosts.

What's the purpose... Of course, it's also for Xu Beijin's drink.

Ringo is stubborn and simple, always trying to accomplish what he wants to do.

If several people want to go to the supermarket, they have to bypass the roads on both sides of the service area. They naturally avoided the toilet on the left and chose to go through from the right.

Then Ringo saw Xu Beijin in the bookstore.

His footsteps naturally turned a corner and walked into the bookstore.

Xu Beijin: "..."

The viewing angle of the live broadcast room followed the others to the supermarket. The audience did not notice at all. In the small window in the lower right corner, their anchor was in trouble.

Ringo walked to the front of the counter and said, "Meet again."

Xu Bei was silent for a moment, and decided to ignore Ringo's question for the time being, pretending that he didn't know Ringo in the nightmare—this was the way it was, and Ringo didn't know that he was the actor!

All taskers thought that the narrow-building residents in the nightmare were just game NPCs one after another.

The taskers will not confuse nightmares with narrow buildings. In their opinion, the residents of the narrow building will not have the memory of a nightmare at all; even if they do, they just regard it as a real nightmare.

However, the residents of the narrow buildings who appear in the nightmare basically have the memories of the narrow buildings. If it is not the owner of the nightmare, and there will be no collapse like a nightmare, then the character is almost the same.

Because of this, some taskers behave in a nightmare, and pretend to be nonchalant in the narrow building. Many actors cannot reveal their identities, but suffer from it. In the end, it is the spirit of the actors that has problems.

And if some crazy actors show that they remember what happened in the nightmare, then the tasker will think that, sure enough, the residents of these narrow buildings will eventually evolve into the crazy self in the nightmare.

Simply put, for the tasker, under the premise of "NPC is an NPC", what the actor does will automatically give a reasonable explanation. What's more, many taskers really don't pay much attention to the residents of narrow buildings.

They had determined early in the morning that the residents of the narrow building were a group of lunatics who were not surprised to do any weird behavior, a group of muddled trash and fools.

This predicament makes countless actors feel fear and despair. Sometimes, even if they want to imply the identity of their actor in various ways, their compatriots never believe them.

Even the taskers in the narrow buildings now ignore the habits of the residents of the narrow buildings. It is said that the former residents of the narrow buildings have made too many weird behaviors, making the taskers feel that they are just a bunch of neuroses.

Some taskers also said that it looks like NE's intelligence is not bad, and it can show such a crazy and smart side.

No task person believes that the residents of this group of narrow buildings are also humans.

Residents of narrow buildings always have various defects, whether it is physical or mental. Because of this, the vast majority of taskers are disdainful of them.

And when they met the residents of the narrow building in the nightmare, this kind of thinking became more certain.

Although the task force will be mad and decadent, but the performance of the nightmare owner in the nightmare will make people wonder, will any human beings become like this?

Therefore, unless it is to obtain information in a nightmare, few taskers will take the initiative to deal with the residents of narrow buildings.

It is very rare for Ringo to chase after the nightmare from the narrow building, and then from the nightmare to the strange tasker of the narrow building. Not to mention that every time he sees Xu Beijin, he opens his mouth to "come for a fight."

Over time, Xu Beijin didn't even remember whether he really played his role in front of Ringo. Will he be exposed to flaws somewhere?

But this time, Xu Bei was determined to ignore Ringo's demands.

He stood up, smiled in accordance with the professional qualities of a group performer, smiled at Ringo, and said, "Hello, do you have anything you want to buy?"

Ringo said, "Buy all the books in your bookstore, can you fight me?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He looked at Ringo incredulously and found that the baby-faced man tilted his head and looked at him with a serious expression, as if he was really thinking about this possibility.

Xu Bei remained silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "No."

Ringo let out a disappointed cry, "But I'm preparing a drink... I will give it to you in time."

Xu Bei was startled slightly, then he sighed and stopped talking.

Ringo looked at him expectantly.

Xu Bei thought, what does it mean for Ringo to want to fight him all the time? Why is Ringo so persistent?

In the narrow building, there is such a clear goal—even though the goal is himself...

Xu Beijin lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Sorry."

After getting the expected answer, Ringo couldn't help sighing boredly. He looked at Xu Beijin, and asked unconvincedly, "Isn't it enough where I made it? You like drinks, so I'm looking for it for you." . Can’t you fight me even this way? I really want to know..."

"I can't beat you." Xu Beijin said, "I really want to know, why do you think..."

"No." Ringo said categorically. "You might beat me. You...you are special."

Xu Bei said in anguish: "I don't know how special I am to you, but...I will not fight, nor will I fight you." He also said very firmly, "Even if you buy me with a drink. "

"A hundred bottles."

"I..." Xu Bei almost bit his tongue, "No way!"

Ringo stood up straight, frowned and said, "Even if I contract you a lifetime drink?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He shook his head firmly, speechless in his heart.

What do you think you are doing, this kind of thing can be contracted for a lifetime?

If Xu Bei hadn't had a good temper, then he might have been annoyed by Ringo's harassment. In fact, he was almost annoying to death.

Ringo said again, "But you are obviously tempted by drinks."

"I do not…"

"You do." Ringo added, "You obviously like drinks. Then I will give you what you like. Can't you make you feel excited about the fights I like? My instinct tells me that you are indeed ready for me. The drink is very exciting."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He got annoyed and said firmly every word: "If you don't fight, you don't fight."

Ringo, who was rejected again, sat down on the stool at the door of the bookstore unhappy.

…This scene seems a bit familiar.

Xu Bei hated in his heart, thinking that after the next round of nightmare started, he would take away that **** stool!

Everything is like a repeat of the previous nightmare. Ringo was sitting at the door of the bookstore, while Xu Beijin sat behind the counter, watching the live broadcast silently, unable to interact with the audience in the live room.

He thought, Ringo was born to restrain him, right?

Intuition... something.

…Yes! He was very excited about the drink Ringo said about it!

But he also firmly didn't want to fight with Ringo!

It sounds like he would be hanged and beaten up badly... Xu Bei only hoped that time would wipe out Ringo's interest in him.

He sighed in his heart and took a sip of boiled water in silence.

Ringo interrupted in time and said, "Drinks..."

"Do not hit."

"Oh."

The bookstore fell into an awkward silence again.

Xu Bei was completely desperate.

Is this different from the last nightmare?

Have it? no.

The same bookstore. The same self. Same Ringo. The same stool. The same silence.

It's a rare encounter in life, and he and Ringo meet again.

…He should actually kick Ringo out. But Xu Beijin, a guy who can bend and stretch, does not have this courage.

His only courage may have been consumed in refusing Ringo's invitation to fight.

In the end, Xu Bei could only pay attention to the situation of the other taskers in the live broadcast room.

Just like this, it can save him from the embarrassing situation now.

In the live broadcast room, on behalf of the dead ghosts, Mu Jiashi, Ding Yi, and the youngest, the supermarket cashiers whom the dead ghosts and selfish ghosts spoke of were found on behalf of the dead ghosts and selfish ghosts, who was Dai Wu who Xu Beijin had looked for before.

However, Dai Wu didn't tell him what clues he had. Now, Xu Beijin couldn't help but wonder what Dai Wu knew.

Mu Jiashi, the third child, and Ding Yi didn't speak, so instead they took the initiative to come forward for the dead ghost and communicate with Dai Wu.

"Hello, we just met a man in black who was chasing us..." Although the dead ghost with no acting skills said something very urgent, his tone was flat and straightforward, without the slightest sense of tension, "Do you know who he is? ?"

From the perspective of the taskers, Dai Wu in front of them is a tool NPC that provides information. As long as the corresponding keywords are mentioned, the NPC will of course tell them the relevant information.

Sure enough, the supermarket cashier also showed a slightly nervous expression. He said, "The man in black...? Is it, holding a machete?"

"Correct!"

The cashier's face changed all of a sudden. He hesitated and did not speak. After being asked by the taskers, he said: "I...I know some rumors. It is said that there was a wife murder in the town. case…"

"The wife murder case?!"

The cashier nodded: "After the incident, the murderer didn't know where he went. People in the town were spreading that his murder tool was a machete. That's why he could chop his wife into... "

He couldn't continue, showing an expression mixed with fear and nausea.

The four taskers stood in a row in front of him.

The third child couldn't help but said, "So, is the man in black the murderer?"

The cashier hesitated, then nodded. He quickly added: "I'm not sure, really. It's just that you said machete...I can only remember that thing."

"Then about the murder of the wife, do you know anything else?"

The cashier shook his head: "I don't know much..." he said with a reminiscence expression, "Oh, yes, it is said that this couple has a son who is less than ten years old?"

"son?"

Mu Jiashi repeated subconsciously.

Ding Yi suddenly said: "The third child, I heard your companions say before that you met a little boy before entering this nightmare. Could that little boy be the surviving child?"

The third child hesitated and nodded: "It's possible."

"Then this surviving child is the owner of the nightmare?" Mu Jiashi asked back, "This will explain the source of the nightmare. His father killed his mother..."

Ding Yi nodded. She asked again: "Don't you know who is the owner of the nightmare? I'm sorry, I mean..."

"I don't know." Mu Jiashi said frankly, "I just picked a portal and went in, regardless of the nightmare."

Ding Yi was stunned.

She also thought that Mu Jiashi returned to the bottom of the narrow building in order to regain his strength and once again play his reputation. Therefore, of course, he will enter the nightmare only when he is fully prepared, in order to make a final decision.

But, is he a nightmare of random selection?

Is he so confident in himself? Convinced that you will not get lost in an unprepared nightmare?

There is really no information circulating in the narrow building about this nightmare of the little boy. However, Ding Yi chose this nightmare because she knew that Ringo was here and Mu Jiashi was also here. This gave her a little confidence.

And the three people on the third side have had direct contact with the little boy directly in the narrow building.

They all came prepared, but Mu Jiashi...

Mu Jiashi lowered his eyes and gave a wry smile.

He said, "You should know why I went back to the bottom of the narrow building." He rubbed his cheeks and sighed. "All I can say is that I am a total loser, madam."

Ding Yi was silent. She wanted to ask, because of the failure that time, did you choose to give up on yourself now?

However, Ding Yi's introversion and calmness, coupled with the presence of other taskers, made her reluctant to poke Mu Jiashi's wounds at this time.

And, judging from the performance of Mu Jiashi in this nightmare, she knew that Mu Jiashi was still the powerful gold nugget who once spurred the situation on the bottom of the narrow building.

only…

He did suffer a tragic failure.

The dead ghost said impatiently: "I don't know what you are talking about... Anyway, can you pay attention to the next situation? We don't have much time!"

"Sorry." Mu Jiashi first apologized. He thought about it, then asked the cashier again, "That kid, do you know some information about him?"

The cashier shook his head: "I don't know. It seems...has been missing for a long time."

Mu Jiashi nodded thoughtfully.

The mother was killed, the father was at large, and the child was missing. It sounds like this may be the problem they need to solve in this nightmare.

He turned around and was about to discuss with others, but Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse. After hearing what the supermarket cashier said, the face of the dead ghost showed a little astonished expression.
