Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Chapter 41: Invisible sight

The female tasker walked around in this apartment, and did not find where the gaze was projected from.

This is a two-bedroom, two-living apartment, but she is the only one here.

She felt that something was wrong. Because she entered the nightmare with her sister, but now she is alone.

She went to the door of the room, wanted to open the door, and left the apartment, only to find that the door lock seemed to be blocked by some invisible force.

So the female taskmaster knew that at the beginning of the nightmare, she might not be able to leave this room.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

That gaze... seems to be staring at her back.

She felt dense goose bumps on the skin of her back, a gloomy chill crawled up the tips of her hair along her back, and then penetrated into her scalp little by little, and finally entered her brain, dispelling the thoughts in her mind. It was upset.

She couldn't help but tremble, she couldn't help turning around, resting her back on the cold door panel, her eyes wandering in this apartment.

As far as I can see, it is a quiet and ordinary living room scene. Going further out is the balcony. The glass door leading to the balcony is closed, and the curtains are hanging down, covering most of the glass door, but the bustling night view outside the balcony can still be seen.

The light in the living room was turned on, and the warm yellow light shone on the white wall, showing an old and dirty yellow. In front of the fabric sofa, there is a wooden coffee table. The remote control is randomly placed on the coffee table. The TV set controlled by it is not turned on and it is completely dark.

There is a door on the left and right, leading to the bedroom. On the left hand side of the apartment door is the bathroom, with cool white lighting and cool white tiles, which looks clean and bright. On the right is the dining table and kitchen. All the lights are on.

The apartment is equipped with central air conditioning, which is now on. The warm wind blows out slowly from the air outlet, making the whole room warm and mellow. Female taskers are sweating coldly.

everything is normal…

Everything is normal is the biggest abnormality!

Her spirit was highly concentrated, and everything seemed to be on its own in this quiet and silent room.

Until she suddenly saw it, the curtain seemed to move.

She felt a moment of suffocation... It was obvious that the door to the balcony was closed, and the windows outside the balcony were also locked. Why did the curtain move?

She clenched her fist tightly, as if to give herself some courage. She walked slowly, taking every step of the way carefully. When she reached near the glass door, she jerked out her hand and pulled the curtains open.

Behind is a bare wall. No one is hidden.

The female tasker was relieved.

At this time, the uneasy feeling of being spied and stared at seemed to disappear.

She put down the curtains and condensed her eyebrows. Could it be that she just saw the curtain move a bit, is it the hallucinations caused by her being too nervous?

…Maybe this is true. This is after a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to enter the nightmare again. She hopes to achieve a true ending in the nightmare.

Perhaps the excessive expectations, the changes after entering the nightmare, and the inexplicable peeping made her nerves strained too much.

She sighed, frowned, and lowered the curtains. She looked at the apartment again, but this time her vigilance disappeared a lot. She wants to know if there are any clues hidden in this apartment?

The audience in the live broadcast room can responsibly tell the female tasker that she has not had any hallucinations just now.

Because they saw it too, the curtains just moved!

It was like being blown by the wind, or hooked by something, so the lower part fluttered. But just for a while, it fell down and returned to its original state.

"Ahhhhh, is this a ghostly game?!"

"...I, this, that... Beibei, see you next nightmare."

"This is unscientific, this is unscientific."

"Beibei, please change the sound source to your side, thank you [polite]"

Xu Bei couldn't laugh or cry and changed the sound source to his own.

At this time, there are a total of four viewers in the live broadcast room, all three of whom have appeared before. Another new audience, seemingly timid, has swiped the screen with "Ahhhhh" on the public screen.

Unfortunately, the reasoning boss did not appear.

Therefore, Xu Beijin could only analyze the nightmare himself.

He said: "Now the live room screen is aimed at one of the taskers. The main scene of this nightmare is this apartment building and this commercial area where I am.

"This tasker is in Room 807, Loko Apartment, and there are six other taskers distributed in different rooms. We will look at the situation one by one later.

"I don't know much about this nightmare. Just now we saw that the curtains moved, but there was no one hidden behind the curtains, and the doors and windows were closed. This may be a ghost, or it may be..."

He paused for a moment, and didn't express his guesses and thoughts. Instead, he said: "Anything is possible."

The audience in the live broadcast room also agreed with him: "The nightmare has just begun."

"I don't know what this nightmare will look like."

"Like the previous two nightmares, will the conditions for the true ending be particularly harsh?"

Xu Beijin's gaze fell on these bullet screens, and on the long line of scenes on the right side of the screen.

Loco Apartments.

He was slightly lost.

The anchor fell silent, but the indistinct sound of music and laughter came from the business district outside, making the live broadcast room not completely silent. The audience didn't care, they looked at the action of the female tasker on the screen of the live broadcast room.

Her name is Sister Jiang and she has a younger sister named Shuangmei Jiang. They are twins.

Many years ago, perhaps when the sisters first came to the narrow building, they found each other by relying on a kind of scientifically unexplainable tacit understanding and intuition that belonged to the twins.

Since then, they have never separated.

In the narrow building, it is difficult for other people to trust and depend on each other like they do, although... such a close relationship does not seem to bring much luck to their nightmare journey.

They move back and forth between the lower floors of the narrow buildings and the slightly higher floors. Every time I go to higher floors happily, I have a bad ending soon after, and I have to return to the bottom of the narrow building.

Many taskers have the same destiny as them, so they are like so many taskers, not reconciled to their mediocrity and the accidental true ending that came under a flash of inspiration.

They keep entering nightmares, hoping to prove themselves...or, hoping to be realized, go to higher and higher floors.

True, ordinary, ordinary, bad, bad, true, ordinary, bad...

It's like a recurring spell.

So one day, when they returned to the bottom of the narrow building again, Jiang Shuangmei said to her sister: "Sister, can we stop for a while?"

The tacit understanding of the twins allowed Sister Jiang to understand what her sister was proposing.

She is tired. She didn't want to enter the nightmare anymore, at least not at that time.

So, they stopped for several years.

That was the time when Xu Beijin's name was in the bottom of the narrow building. The two tired sisters didn't even participate in this lively event at that time, they were torn between the lively markets, bars, and carnival nights that those corrupt taskists would go to.

When some taskers struggle to survive in a nightmare, they and other taskers indulge in laughter, indulgence, and self-willingness. They no longer think about those nightmares, nor do they think about the distressing questions of what the narrow building is, what will happen outside, and whether they can leave the narrow building.

Only the alcohol handed to his lips, and those frantic, indulgent nights, seemed extra real.

It's like a beautiful dream, and the dream will wake up after all.

In these days, there have been some changes in the narrow building, and many people's minds have become active.

That may be half-truth and half-false news from higher floors, like the trick card that no one knows whether it really exists, and can be forced out of a nightmare.

It may also be just some old rumors, mixed with the chaotic and misty rumors in the nightmare, it becomes even more unclear.

In short, even the two sisters of Jiang Shuangmei, in some carnival occasions, heard that someone was saying that a task person successfully escaped from the narrow building.

Really? But since he has escaped, why is there still news?

Is it fake? But... just as they believe that the nightmare of eternal collapse does not mean death, they have to believe this rumor.

As a result, even some taskers who have fallen for a long time got up from the world of alcohol and other mental fools, washed their brains, and eagerly wanted to go to a higher floor to find out.

Jiang Shuangmei Jiang Shuangmei is no exception.

They even acted earlier than other taskers. They heard the rumors that the "billionaires" had successfully made their way to higher floors, so they couldn't wait to take action the next night.

They know Ding Yi. To be precise, they used to hug Ding Yi together. The three girls are always easier to trust each other.

Later, when Ding Yi excitedly shared the item card she withdrew from the nightmare settlement pool with them, the three began to part ways in a tacit understanding.

After that, Ding Yi comfortably became her billionaire at the bottom of the narrow building, while the sisters of Jiang Shuangmei, Jiang Shuangmei, continued to walk back and forth between the bottom and higher floors. A little later, after they stopped, they even took the glass from Ding Yi's hand.

But the cyan-haired woman and the twin sisters pretended not to recognize each other.

Now, Ding Yi went to a higher floor. And the sisters, without anyone telling them clearly, walked out of the house together on the night of the next day.

They haven't had a nightmare for a long time, but some basic skills are still there. At this time, Sister Jiang searched in this apartment.

A few minutes later, she stood still, frowning again.

Nothing at all.

This apartment is not so much an inhabited room as it is an empty hotel. Indeed, there are daily necessities, but there are no traces of being used.

There is no clothing in the closet, no food in the refrigerator, and even the bathroom, without any hair or confetti. All the rooms are empty and intimidatingly clean.

She thought she would find some clues in this apartment, notes, newspaper clippings, communication tools, anything. But she found nothing.

She wanted to turn on the TV to try, but the TV seemed to be broken and couldn't be opened at all, just like the door of this apartment couldn't be opened, full of deliberate evil.

Sister Jiang stood in the living room of this apartment, looking around for a week, and her heart was full of confusion.

She thought, what about herself? What kind of identity are they taskers in this nightmare? Why does it appear in this apartment building?

This nightmare...

Sister Jiang suddenly regretted it. She thought that they shouldn't enter the nightmare in such a hurry. At least, they must first understand some nightmare information.

They chose to enter this nightmare directly. When they wandered around in the narrow building, looking for a nightmare that could be entered, they saw two familiar figures walking into the portal of the residents of the narrow building, and they followed.

But who would have thought that after the nightmare began, a few of them would be scattered?

It's actually one person and one room, not a collective action, and I still can't get out of this apartment...

Thinking about it, Sister Jiang showed an expression of anxiety and confusion.

Does this suggest any clues in the nightmare?

While Sister Jiang was at a loss in the living room of the apartment, Xu Beijin had already pointed the camera of the live broadcast room at the remaining taskers, looking at their current situation one by one.

Except for Sister Jiang, the six taskers were randomly distributed on different floors and different rooms, with no pattern.

Most of them, like Sister Jiang, searched carefully in the apartment, trying to find clues, but found nothing, so they began to ponder and think.

When seeing one of the taskers, Xu Beijin and the audience couldn't help but marvel, because she and Sister Jiang looked exactly the same, apparently twins. The twins in the narrow building are extremely rare.

And there was a male tasker standing on the balcony, staring at the bustling business district opposite, showing a strange expression.

Others—for example, Ringo, who was staring at the apartment in thought at this time. Xu Bei thought to himself, this man who has no memory of the earth is probably curious and confused. He might think that this is the house on earth?

After switching back and forth for a round, Xu Beijin pointed the main camera at the strange man.

He looks very young, in his early twenties. However, the age of these humans entering the game will not change over time. So, maybe this is just his age when he entered the narrow building.

The young man stared at the commercial district with a thoughtful expression on his face. But... the expression looked very strange. It's not really a surprise to find any clues, or thinking.

It was an emotion mixed with confusion, incomprehension, and fear.

He looked at the brightly lit business district, as if he had seen some scourge, with a solemn expression.

What did he think of?

Xu Beijin was somewhat curious because of his expression.

The audience in the live broadcast room did not understand why Xu Bei had put the camera on this ordinary young man, so he asked on the barrage. Xu Beijin also told his thoughts frankly.

"Hi, there are many possibilities."

"The reasoning boss is not here, it's up to me to show my skills! Um...what clue may he found?"

"Damn, you are too dishevelled. Beibeigang said that he didn't think this person had found a clue."

"...Is he here in this nightmare before? It's like the tasker from the last nightmare. He knows what important clues are in this business district, so he shows this expression?"

"It's possible... I don't understand, I don't understand."

Xu Beijin didn't quite understand either. But the expression of the young man seemed to imply something.

But what the **** is that?

Xu Bei was puzzled at all times.

In the live broadcast room, the audience who didn't understand had already shifted the topic smoothly.

"In other words, since the taskers are in that apartment building, can Beibei go out for a walk?"

"This time, the nightmare scene is very big! You can take a good walk."

"It feels like this group of taskers hasn't made much movement for a while."

"Bei Bei Bei Bei, let's go out and play!"

Xu Bei hesitated for a while, and agreed softly. The audience cheered, each excited more than one. The new audience didn't understand, so he played a question mark, mixed with the cheers of other audiences, and seemed out of place.

Hey, this is a live broadcast of horror games! What is "hanging out"? !

Xu Beijin adjusted his main perspective to his side, and the small frame at the bottom right remained on the strange young man's side. He stood up, walked out of the bookstore, closed the door, and then looked back at this bustling business district.

This is a commercial area connected by two wide buildings, including four floors above ground and two floors underground, as well as two floors below the underground parking lot.

In addition to the roads on the first floor, the two buildings can also walk through the sky bridge on the third floor and the open-air square on the ground floor.

The bookstore in Xu Beijin is in a corner of the open square.

This is an antique bookstore. It's not eye-catching at all. The dusty glass and gloomy interior environment refuses most of the guests to come here.

Once you leave the bookstore, the lively atmosphere in the business district will blow your face. The main brain probably arranged a lot of actors for this nightmare, and there were more than a dozen people in the open-air square alone.

Although compared with the level of excitement on the original earth, it is definitely not comparable, but in the narrow building, in the nightmare, such a crowded, lively and prosperous look really made Xu Bei completely trance.

As if it were true, it was like returning to the earth.

He dragged his steps, slowly passing by these dedicated actors. He passed by milk tea shops, fried chicken shops, duck neck restaurants, sushi restaurants, pickled cabbage fish shops, hot pot restaurants, ramen shops, bakeries... the aroma of countless delicacies penetrated his nose.

Almost uncontrollably, he ran to a milk tea shop and queued up.

He has no money, but as a actor, his colleagues graciously waived him.

Xu Bei stared blankly at the automatic capping machine to seal the cups of milk tea with plastic film. A few minutes later, he got his own milk tea, rejoicing. He declared in his heart that this nightmare is his favorite nightmare, there is no one!

…At least after he got the live broadcast system, his favorite nightmare.

In the past, even if there were these shops in the nightmare he went to, he didn't dare to move arbitrarily, for fear of encountering the tasker and letting himself be punished by the mastermind. But now, because he can grasp the movements of other taskers through the live broadcast system, he is much easier.

You can even drink milk tea here.

In the live broadcast room, the audience couldn't help laughing because of his actions.

"My God, Beibei is too leisurely."

"Milk tea, my milk tea... I also want to drink milk tea... [Glutton]"

"Drinking milk tea in the game...how I didn't think of such a great idea. After all, drinking it in the game won't gain weight... Then I will get my nutrition capsule."

"Nutrition cabin! Boss!"

"I really want to have a nutrition capsule, and I also want to stay in the game for a long time..."

"There are thousands of ways to access brain waves, but I can only use the most basic equipment. It's great to have money, woo woo woo."

"The anchor can drink milk tea in the game. It must be the top equipment. I love it."

"I hope that the development of science and technology will be faster, and the nutrition cabin will become a cheap brainwave access device as soon as possible. Weep."

"Harm, this is beyond our control..."

The audience in the live broadcast room was on the barrage, discussing the pros and cons of different brainwave access devices.

According to them, the nutrition cabin is the best. You can use the nutrient solution in the cabin to supplement your body with nutrients and maintain your health at all times. It also has a good solution to physiological problems.

In addition, the degree of fidelity obtained by nutrition cabin players in the game can also reach almost 100%.

Many players who use the nutrition cabin stay in the game all day long without any problems.

The second is the normal game cabin. In fact, the nutrition cabin can be regarded as a kind of game cabin, but it is a bit more high-end.

The ordinary game cabin is not like the nutrition cabin, which has the convenient function of replenishing nutrients at any time, so players have to leave the game after a period of time to replenish the energy needed by the body and solve physiological problems, such as eating and drinking.

In addition, the simulation of ordinary game cabins cannot reach 100%, especially in terms of five senses, which is obviously different from reality.

In terms of price, the nutrition cabin is one of the best. The game cabin is cheaper, and ordinary people can afford it when they save money. Further down there are some cheaper products, such as gaming helmets, and the worst is gaming glasses.

Xu Beijin's behavior of drinking milk tea in the game made the audience in the live room acquiesce that he was using the nutrition cabin. And Xu Beijin did not deny it, looking at the audience's barrage without changing his face.

As for... the nutrition cabin?

He doesn't even know what kind of form he is living now.

Or, is he really alive?

Thinking about it, Xu Beijin's eyes gradually became dark and deep. The milk tea that I drank in my mouth seemed to become bitter.

The audience in the live broadcast room talked a lot, and Xu Bei was completely distracted; in the small box in the lower right corner of the live broadcast room that no one noticed, the young man with a strange expression had already turned around, returned to the apartment, and stopped watching. The brightly lit business district.

When he stepped into the slightly dim living room with only the side laser light on, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He felt a strong gaze cast on him and looked at him from the front. There was a chilling malice in his eyes, distorted, crazy, and terrible, as if he wanted him to die now.

The young man in his early twenties beat his eyebrows and subconsciously raised his eyes to search for the owner of this gaze.

He saw cat eyes.

And Maoyan seemed to look at him too.
