Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Chapter 33: I remember you

"You absolutely can't believe what we found!"

As soon as he walked in, the boss yelled loudly, his voice full of elation and triumph, I'm afraid he found some incredible information.

But the second brother noticed for the first time the gloomy atmosphere between the taskers in the central flower bed, and the little boy who squatted on the ground and whimpered.

That was the little boy they had chased and looked for before.

The boss also looked over, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, isn't this that kid?"

Mujiashi was keenly aware of what he said in this sentence, but he hesitated for a moment, and did not ask.

The second brother glared at the boss, and then frankly said to Mu Jiashi: "We met this little boy in the narrow building before. But..." He shrugged, "I didn't ask for any important information."

Mu Jiashi nodded, and didn't bother with this matter. He turned to ask: "What did you find?"

"Oh, this kid's father killed his mother." The old man said grinningly. "There is a TV at the gas station. This news is on the news, and a wanted order was issued."

The second brother added: "However, the image on the wanted order is a middle-aged man, not the person in black that we are used to."

Mu Jiashi murmured, "This is weird..."

Yes, this is weird.

In fact, at this moment, he also realized a problem.

Why is the little boy's murderer father, in his nightmare, the image of a man in black wearing a mask instead of his father?

Is it because the little boy was influenced by the film and television drama and nailed the image of his father into an abstract murderous image, or was it because the little boy, after witnessing the scene where his mother was killed, was frightened and wanted to forget The brutal image of his father at that time?

The latter sounds more reasonable, but now there is a wanted order in the nightmare, showing the real image of the boy's father.

After all, the nightmare is derived from the memory of the owner of the nightmare, which means that the little boy has not forgotten the image of his father...

Or is it the subconscious mind?

Mu Jiashi had a headache.

They seem to know a lot, but there is no clue about the ending of the nightmare. Besides, where is the man in black now? They don't know.

Perhaps they can also ask for some information from the mouth of the man in black, even though he is a murderer.

The third child reminded me: "Let’s go to the supermarket first."

Mu Jiashi returned to his senses and nodded.

Ding Yi coaxed the little boy to stop crying, and took the little boy's hand and walked to the supermarket together.

The eldest and second elder brother walked with them behind them.

The face of the selfish ghost is full of unwillingness. Obviously he brought the little boy over, but at this time, those taskers took away his "trophies."

The gaze of the dead ghost turned around in the direction of these taskers, selfish ghosts and supermarkets. He was very nervous and restless. Obviously it was a cooperative plan proposed by the selfish ghost, but in the end, everyone ignored his existence as a substitute for the dead.

It's as if... he is really just a survivor.

Unwillingness and anger rose in the heart of the dead ghost. Some of these emotions rushed toward those taskers, some rushed toward the selfish ghost, and some rushed toward himself.

The two fell behind, and the selfish ghost suddenly said to the dead ghost: "Are you regretting it?"

Surprised for the dead ghost, a panic.

The selfish ghost sneered and said: "I don't care whether you regret or not. We have more information. I don't believe..."

His eyes flashed with madness and viciousness, which made the dead ghost panicked.

Suddenly for the dead ghost, why would he be willing to cooperate with this man? He is obviously a lunatic...an uncontrollable factor.

In the heart of a selfish ghost, perhaps his own interests are supreme... No, not only interests. Anyone and behavior that goes against his will will suffer his resentment and ridicule, as if he is the only person in the world who is right. .

For the dead ghost, he felt that his cooperation with this guy was a wrong choice, but it was a pity that there was no way to turn back.

I just hope that the information from the selfish ghost is really useful.

Very annoyed for the dead ghost, he just quickened his pace and got rid of the selfish ghost.

The conversation and interaction between the two of them were not heard by the taskers walking in front, but the audience in the live broadcast room had a panoramic view.

They couldn't help sighing: "Oh, how come this person has both ends."

"A wall-to-wall spokesperson."

"I laughed, thank you."

"He can neither please one side nor get rid of the other side."

"No, in the eyes of other taskers, he has been labeled as untrustworthy. So even if he wants to bridge the cracks caused by previous deception, it is probably useless."

"I'm even more curious about what information the other guy has? Why is he still so confident now?"

"I kind of believe Beibei's guess... If it was just the last nightmare that the cashier asked for some information, it would not be so confident, right? I really think he had this nightmare before."

"It's the same for me."

"I really want to know what they know..."

"Now these taskers are going to the supermarket again, I don't know if they can ask for something new."

"Huh, that's..."

The taskers, at the gate of the supermarket, met Ringo pushing the shopping cart out. The shopping cart is full of different kinds of drinks, each kind seems to be the same, piled high.

Ringo pushed out the shopping cart blankly, while the taskers wanted to walk into the supermarket nervously.

The scene seemed very embarrassing for a while.

The boss blurted out the first sentence: "Big brother, are you shopping?"

The taskers were in a trance, feeling that they were not in a nightmare in a narrow building, but in a real-world supermarket, where the scene was very lively, and someone was pushing a shopping cart, feeling content.

Mu Jiashi looked at Ringo in shock, and then at the drinks in the other's shopping cart, thinking for a while.

Ringo shook his head, "Not shopping." He pointed to the supermarket, "No money."

Taskers: "..."

The audience in the live broadcast room: "..."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He took a deep breath.

After the barrage was messy for a moment, he started to laugh.

"Hahahaha, this is for Beibei! I knew it!"

"My mother, Little Apple really has something to do with my North."

"Is this a horror game live broadcast? Am I in the wrong place?"

"I laughed on the spot so that my mother couldn't help but ask me what funny variety show I was watching."

"...For the benefit, such a bug-level tycoon, at least not malicious towards Beibei."

"Well, taskers should think so too."

After a brief embarrassment, the taskers continued to walk into the supermarket, and Ringo continued to do his own thing.

He calmly pushed the shopping cart and walked into the bookstore.

Xu Beijin raised his head and looked at him. For a moment, he thought very incomprehensibly, what exactly did Ringo want to do?

Does it take so much work just to fight him?

…Fortunately, he at least dragged this matter until Ringo went to his house as a guest.

Xu Beijin just watched Ringo silently, until Ringo pushed the shopping cart in front of him. Ringo pointed to the shopping cart and said very simply, "Here you are."

Xu Beijin stood up, was silent for a moment, and suddenly did not want to argue with Ringo. He said: "There are some that I don't drink."

Ringo glanced at him in shock, which meant to say: Are you quite picky?

He asked: "So which flavor do you like?" He asked with all his might, "I will only give you what you like in the future."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He kind of wanted to laugh.

Just...I was amused by Ringo's behavior.

He finally realized so clearly that Ringo's world was very simple, so simple... it made him clear at a glance.

His purpose is clear, his actions are clear, and his words are clear. He was so calm that he didn't need to lie to the world at all. He... he and Xu Beijin are two extremes that are diametrically opposed.

Xu Bei was in a trance.

Ringo frowned when he saw that he hadn't answered the question first, and then took a can of drink from the shopping cart. He took a closer look-peach soda?

Never drank it at all.

Maybe Xu Bei will like it all?

Ringo asked, "Do you like this?"

Xu Bei regained his senses, glanced at it, and then replied, "No, this brand tastes very sweet." He added, "But sometimes I drink it if I am in a bad mood."

Ringo said flatly, "Well, I remember." He picked up another bottle, "What about this one?"

"I don't like it." Xu Beijin let himself learn from Ringo's frank and straightforward tone, "It's hard to drink, and it's not cost-effective."

Ringo glanced at the drink bottle in his hand strangely—beer-flavored soda, would it be difficult to drink? He curled his mouth, threw the bottle into the trash can, and picked up another box of soft drinks: "This?"

"I like this very much."

Ringo looked at the apple juice in his hand: "...you seem to like fruity drinks?"

"I am a little lactose intolerant." Xu Bei said helplessly, "Although I also like to drink milk, it will be more uncomfortable to drink too much."

Ringo glanced at him weirdly, he thought about it, and finally he honestly said his thoughts: "You live a very...real life."

Residents and outsiders in the narrow buildings, these human beings, rarely live as real as Xu Beijin.

This is a game, which means that even if they don't take a bath or brush their teeth for a month or two—to put it in an exaggeration—it has no effect on their personal hygiene.

They will not be hungry or thirsty. They don't need to eat or drink Lazar. Although they will feel greedy and sleepy, as long as the energy value on the personal panel does not return to zero, then it doesn't matter how they die.

Their body is just a string of data in the game. Maybe this game is very real, but it's just a game.

From another point of view, even though the taskers and actors have to live and die because of the game "Escape from the Sky", in fact, they will not really die, but they will never be able to escape from this game. At least they haven't found a way to escape.

Dai Wu's optimism that "we have gotten a second life" is not uncommon among others.

However, the contradiction is that they know this is a game. Everyone knows that this is just a game. This is not reality, this is not the real life they are pursuing.

Such a painful comparison certainly made more people feel deeply desperate.

The real, real-world life...for this group of humans, it is already out of reach.

The status of commodity merchants in the narrow building is quite high, indeed. But that's not because the taskers really need daily necessities, but just because it is probably part of the doomsday carnival of those taskers.

They consume some food and drinks frantically, and frantically for fun and entertainment. Some taskers may not have entered a nightmare for several years, but just fall and live indulgently at the bottom of the narrow building.

That seems to be their destined life and destiny.

But Xu Beijin is not like that.

He is obviously only a resident of a narrow building, but he has a more serious attitude towards life than the tasker.

When Ringo heard the words "lactose intolerance" in Xu Beijin's mouth, he seemed to feel that he was in the real world and heard a friend complaining about his **** physique.

Ringo was in a daze. Afterwards, all thoughts returned to nothingness.

Xu Bei lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly. He could understand the meaning of Ringo's words, but he could only say calmly: "It's already like this."

And what can he do?

They are relatively speechless.

Xu Bei took a deep breath and tried to show a smile: "Thank you for your drink..."

"Do not laugh."

Xu Bei said blankly: "What?"

"Don't laugh." Ringo said in a low voice, "When you don't want to laugh, you don't need to laugh."

Xu Bei remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed uncontrollably in front of Ringo. He said, "Lingo..."

Ringo tilted his head.

Xu Beijin said: "If you really want to fight with me, you can be more aggressive."

Ringo was stunned, and then tried to show a very vicious expression in his opinion. Then he said: "Is this all right?"

Xu Bei couldn't help but bravely said, "I think your expression is quite cute."

Ringo frowned. He glared at Xu Bei and said, "Don't use this word to describe me."

Xu Bei will accept it as soon as he sees it, and nodded immediately: "Okay, no need."

Ringo: "..."

Did not feel the slightest sincerity.

For the first time in his life, Ringo also felt a little distressed because of his appearance.

The two pick and choose, the shopping cart is half empty, and a hill is piled up over the trash can. Like an obsessive-compulsive disorder, Ringo put the drinks one by one on the counter of Xu Beijin Bookstore.

Then he said triumphantly: "I remember. I will give you these later."

Xu Bei tried his best to speak and stopped, and finally held back.

Ringo looked at him suddenly and said, "Just say what you want."

Xu Beijin said: "Even if you give me so much, I won't fight with you."

Ringo: "..."

He looked like he was about to explode.

Xu Bei thought about it, so he shouldn't have said it. Why does Ringo just want to listen?

Finally, Ringo took a deep breath, and he said unhappily, "That's your business."

Xu Bei was stunned.

Ringo said, "I will not force you to fight with me."

Xu Bei hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Inevitably, he felt a little guilty. Because of Ringo's flattery and frankness, Xu Bei, who was sitting and enjoying his success, had nothing to do with it.

But, always shouting and screaming what to kill—the most important thing is that he still couldn't beat Ringo—Xu Beijian thought desperately, is he really going to be beaten by Ringo, will this matter be finished?

He sighed silently in his heart.

Then he handed Ringo a bottle of peach soda.

Ringo asked blankly, "What are you doing?"

Xu Beijin said: "Try it. If you leave this nightmare, you won't be able to drink it."

Ringo froze, took the drink, looked down for a while, and said, "I don't need you to comfort me."

"…what?"

"You said it yourself, when you are in a bad mood, you will drink this sweeter drink." Ringo said, "You don't need to comfort me. I'm used to you rejecting me. Although it is indeed unhappy, you Don’t give me what you like."

He spoke frankly and truthfully, because this was indeed what he thought of.

He is always bored, angry, and upset, but this bottle of peach soda is what Xu Bei likes all the time. He doesn't need Xu Beijin to give him what he likes, just to comfort him.

Just like, he wouldn't force Xu Beijin to also like fighting.

Although he always hoped that Xu Beijin would fight him.

Xu Bei turned his mind and understood. He lamented the simplicity of Ringo.

However, he smiled and said, "Isn't it normal to share favorite drinks with friends?"

Ringo muttered blankly, "Is it...Is that so?"

"Yes." Xu Bei said with a smile, "because I find it delicious, so I hope you try it too."

Ringo thought for a moment, and then his simple brain circuit also clearly pointed out a logic: "We are friends. I like fighting. Friends can share what they like with each other. So..."

Xu Beijin said: "Don't fight."

Ringo squeezed the peach soda: "...oh."

He sat back to the door of the bookstore sullenly.

…What friends can share their favorite things with each other. Xu Bei lied to him.

His unhappy mood made his eyes gradually turn to this bottle of peach soda. He thought for a moment, then opened it and took a sip.

...So sweet.

But the mood seems to be a little better.

He thought in confusion, so at this point, Xu Bei didn't lie to him at all?

Xu Beijin sat behind the counter again, and a little bit of laughter rose in his heart. He wondered, did Ringo realize that the focus is on "friends" and not anything else?

In narrow buildings, the concept of friends is very scarce.

Ringo didn't deny it, or even tacitly agreed. I have to say that this really makes Xu Beijin feel a little bit happy.

but…

Xu Bei changed his mind and thought, but why is Ringo's idea so simple?

Sometimes, he did think that perhaps the rumors in the narrow building about Ringo's IQ problem seemed to have some truth.

However, Ringo was not a fool. His world may be simpler, maybe sometimes he is used to solving problems with force, like a mad dog. But he was keen and honest.

In a way, this is much better than those taskers with complicated and surly minds.

…Yes, what Xu Beijin is talking about is the group of taskers who are arguing in the live room screen now.

Xu Beijin sighed silently in his heart.

He seems to have gotten used to the scene where the taskers quarrel at every turn.

He used to be a group performer, just as a background board in the bookstore, and he didn't know what the taskers were doing. But after these two nightmares, he watched the action of the taskers on the live screen, and only felt that...

The original mysterious veil seems to have been torn off.

At this time, the topic the taskers quarreled with was the conversation they had with the cashier in the supermarket this time.

When they walked to the supermarket cashier with the little boy, the cashier showed a peculiar expression.

"Do you know who this is?" The third child asked keenly.

Dai Wu hesitated for a while, then nodded: "I know. He is the child...the surviving child." He whispered, "It's so pitiful..."

"We brought him here, don't you wonder where we found him?"

This is the question raised by Mu Jiashi.

There is a trap in this problem. Before that, the selfish ghosts and the dead ghosts said that they almost got some important information from Dai Moukou.

According to their performance, it is not that they have not received important information. Therefore, what the supermarket cashier told them in the last round of nightmares has become a very important point.

Of course, Mu Jiashi also noticed that the expression on the dead ghost had changed when Dai Wu said that the little boy was missing. Therefore, this time, he also specifically asked the boy's whereabouts as a question to the cashier in the supermarket.

Does he really know nothing?

What role does this supermarket cashier play in this nightmare?

Although Mu Jiashi didn't know that the residents of these narrow buildings were the actors, but at this time, his psychological activities thought of the word "playing" by mistake.

He didn't know that Dai Wu was a "supporting role" at the actor level of this nightmare. In short, he is indeed a very important role.

And Dai Wu also played a very superb acting skills-he is not like Xu Beijin's salted fish group acting.

He was really curious and asked: "Yes, no one knows the whereabouts of this little boy. Where did you find him?"

When he said these words, the face of the dead ghost couldn't hide again. He frowned, he stopped talking.

The third child kept watching him. He thought, this guy's acting...I don't know if it's bad or good. He was like this, as if he was bluntly reminding them that there was something wrong with what the cashier said.

But where is the problem?

Before he really thought about it, the selfish ghost sneered: "You really are a bunch of trash, right? You still doubt me now, instead of thinking about the truth and ending of this nightmare?"

"Will you **** shut up for me?" the boss said bluntly, "If Zhailou can kill his teammates, then I will kill you first!"

The selfish ghost pushed it up unconvincedly: "It's a pity you just can't kill it, what can you do, hahahaha."

The second brother whispered: "This is really too cheap."

Nodded secretly for the dead ghost.

In the chaos, they suddenly heard the cry of the little boy.

"The big brother," the little boy didn't know when, he had already ran to the front of the cashier. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the cashier in the supermarket, "I remember. I saw you."
