The situation seems a little strange.

The young man named Shen Yunju thought so.

He stared at the cat's eyes tightly, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead and penetrated into his eyes, causing a tingling pain.

The cat's eyes look normal. But that look...

A black shadow was made out of his brain, and he was lying behind this door. The black shadow stared at him through the cat's eyes with his bloodshot eyes widened and with a vicious and cruel emotion.

After a long time, Shen Yunju walked stiffly to the door and stretched out his cold hand to cover the cat's eye on the door.

In an instant, that gaze disappeared.

…Perhaps he should meet the cat's eye with his eyes to see what is hidden behind the door, but he dare not. Therefore, he could only tremble like this, covering the cat's eyes with his hands, as if it could block the invisible sight.

Afterwards, he fell into a deadlock and didn't know what to do.

"Damn..."

He seemed to squeeze these two words from between his teeth.

In the same predicament as him, there are all taskers except Ringo.

Gaze... Gaze. They all felt that they were clearly in a quiet and cozy small apartment, but there seemed to be one or even several invisible eyes at home, staring at them anytime, anywhere.

Like what Shen Yunju encountered, it was fairly simple, and it was gone if it was covered. But there are still taskers, the sight they meet is staring at their backs.

Humans cannot see their backs. Their fragile spine couldn't be constrained at all.

So, when they turned around, turned around, turned again, turned again... In any case, they couldn't get rid of that line of sight.

At this time, half an hour has passed since they entered this nightmare. After the taskers had gone through a useless search and search, almost all came to the door of the apartment, wanting to see when they could leave the **** apartment.

Only Shuangmei Jiang, she shrank in the corner of the apartment bedroom, her back pressed against the wall tightly, her eyes widened, and she looked around nervously.

She dared not move. Because as long as she leaves this wall, or as long as she exposes her back, then that invisible gaze will instantly be attached.

It was cold and sticky, full of insidious and resentful sight, as if glued to her back.

The only solution is to shrink in the corner and let his back press tightly against the wall. Even so, she felt as if someone or something was staring at her all the time.

A small bug appeared on her back, digging into her skin.

Jiang Shuangmei hugged her knees. She thought blankly—sister, sister, save me, save me...

I don't know if it was the telepathy between the twins. At the same time, Sister Jiang was a little restless.

She tried to open the door with some anxiety, but the door was still locked. Obviously, the door handle can be pressed down, but the door seems to be fixed in the wall and cannot be opened at all.

She stomped her feet in a hurry, wondering what the nightmare was about, why the taskers should be separated in different rooms and not letting them out. It is impossible for this empty apartment to have any danger. …?

Sister Jiang's heart seemed to fall into the abyss in an instant.

That line of sight...that line of sight...when she turned around and focused on the door, her back was unobstructed and exposed in the direction of the balcony.

Then, that line of sight, like the invisible ghost that appeared at the same moment, stared at her back again.

But compared to her sister, Sister Jiang is even more fortunate that the look she faced seemed to have no malicious intent towards her. Just staring at her all the time, that's it, staring calmly and silently...

…Damn, why can she feel so clearly! She can even perceive what kind of emotions are in that sight!

This is not scientific at all!

Just like the audience in the live broadcast room, when faced with such an unscientific situation, Sister Jiang's first reaction was, will there be ghosts in this nightmare?

However, there are tens of thousands of nightmares in the narrow building, and it seems that no quest person has experienced a real nightmare centered on ghosts.

In the nightmare of the residents of the narrow building, there are murders, lunatics and perverts, and unreasonable nightmares collapse. However, that kind of truly unscientific events, such as ghosts or magic, seem to have never occurred.

These nightmares are almost all dreams based on the reality of the residents of narrow buildings.

If they can meet the owner of the corresponding nightmare in the narrow building, the taskers can learn some clues about their lives from their mouths, and the nightmare is built on these trivial but true details.

From this point of view, a nightmare is a real nightmare that conforms to the worldview known to mankind.

Therefore, in this nightmare, even if these inexplicable sight lines look like ghosts, the questists ruled out this possibility for the first time.

…But if it’s not a ghost, what can it be?

When the taskers were in trouble, Xu Beijin's style of painting was obviously different. He has taken the audience from the live broadcast room to the entire commercial area.

This commercial area, even though it was in a nightmare, really made Xu Bei feel as if he had really returned to the earth in a trance.

The first and second floors are full of food, the first floor is beauty and clothing, the second and third floors are clothing and food, and the fourth floor is a cinema and gym. When Xu Beijin reached the fourth floor, he walked around outside the cinema, his eyes stopped on the movie poster on the wall.

…The sleeping memory is slowly waking up. That seems to be the few popular movies that were being shown in the cinema before he entered the narrow building.

In the cinema, the actors shuttle back and forth. Everything is just like yesterday.

Xu Beijin held a cup of milk tea and looked at this scene in a daze. Afterwards, he couldn't help but walked in.

"Hello... eh, why are you again."

Behind the popcorn counter, a familiar face reminded Xu Bei.

That is Dai Wu. He is working as a cashier again.

There are at least hundreds of actors in this nightmare, and Xu Bei is not surprised to meet familiar people. However, he cautiously replaced the sound source on his side with the tasker's side, so as not to reveal anything in the conversation with Dai Wu's for a while.

The audience in the live broadcast room didn't respond much, probably because they thought Xu Beijin had met an acquaintance player, so he wanted to talk privately. The audience still respects the privacy of the anchor.

However, even though the audience was very considerate and met with acquaintances, Xu Beijin's mood was not very high, so when he greeted Dai Wu's hello, he just said flatly and politely: "Meet again."

Dai Wu looked at him strangely and said, "You are not wondering what happened to this nightmare again, are you?"

Xu Bei was silent for a moment in embarrassment.

Can he say that he actually wants to re-experience the feeling of wandering around the earth? Drink milk tea, watch movies...Although he was a single dog from the beginning to the end from the earth to the narrow building, at least his life on earth was comfortable and comfortable.

Narrow building...

Ha ha.

Who would like to live a life without hope?

Therefore, seeing such a bustling commercial district in front of him, even if he knew it was an illusion, Xu Beijin let himself be a little immersed in it, coupled with the noisy barrage of the audience in the live broadcast room, as if it would be able to disperse him. The loneliness in the soul.

Moreover, apart from the nightmare, there seems to be no other channel to experience this feeling.

As for the nightmare itself, it seems that there is no useful information when the taskers are trapped in their respective apartments.

So, facing Dai Wu’s question, Xu Bei hesitated for a while and nodded, but he added: "If you still didn't tell me like the last nightmare, just treat it as I didn't."

Dai Wu couldn't help laughing: "Brother, you are quite grudges." He shrugged, "But this time I really don't know. In this nightmare, I'm just a small group performer."

Xu Beijin looked at him suspiciously.

"Trust me, buddy." Dai Wu said, "Although my level is a supporting role, I need too many actors for this nightmare, so I just came to be a group performer."

Xu Bei nodded suspiciously, his gaze slipped down again, looking at the popcorn in the glass case, he was about to move for a while. The sweet scent lingered on the tip of his nose for a long time.

Xu Bei knows a psychological effect called the Proust effect, which refers to the fact that smell can awaken certain specific memories in the human brain and is more vivid than memories awakened by other sense organs.

Although there is no very complete scientific basis to explain this phenomenon, at least at this time when Xu Bei smelled the sweet and greasy smell of popcorn, he remembered that on earth, he would go to the cinema with friends to watch a movie. He would definitely buy it. Have a cup of popcorn.

However, when the movie is over, he may not be able to finish it.

That is too long a memory. But at this time, just like this near-real business district scene on the earth in the nightmare, the memory of his awakening also seemed to make him return to the earth again.

Dai Wu said, "Want to eat?"

Xu Bei hesitated for a moment, then nodded honestly. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I want to recall it."

"Earth?" Dai Wuyu shoveled a cup of popcorn and handed it to Xu Beijin, "Eat whatever you want. Have you tasted the fudge you gave you last time? That's pretty delicious. Now the things on earth are the most. You can recall it in the nightmare. It's really ironic."

When he talked about "sarcasm", he was lighthearted and not serious at all, which made Xu Bei feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He drank his milk tea, so he threw the plastic cup into the trash can and ate while holding the popcorn bucket. He is used to eating one by one, cautiously and slowly.

Xu Bei praised and said, "It tastes very good."

Dai Wu showed a slightly strange expression. He said, "It's rare to see you like this. Do you still miss life on earth?"

Xu Bei took two bites in silence. He didn't want to face this problem, so he changed the subject bluntly: "Do you treat the narrow building as a second life?"

"Yes." Dai Wu probably saw that Xu Beijin didn't want to talk about this topic, so he continued along with his question, "The situation is, no one knows whether we can leave the **** narrow building, so... it's better to... Lie down and enjoy. In this game world, there are actually more possibilities than the real world, right?"

"Then you still want to defeat NE?"

"Hey, brother, you should understand." Dai said helplessly, "The tasker is okay, but there are some actors..." He pointed to the many actors in the business district outside, "Do you think they really Is it to treat this as a play, not a real life?

"What I just said was Second Life. I know the difference between reality and games; but they, they already regard games as'first life'."

Xu Beijin looked in the direction he was pointing, and was silent, chewing popcorn in silence.

second Life…

He thought, he was actually eating a bunch of junk data. A bunch of popcorn looks like popcorn, tastes like popcorn, and smells like popcorn, but in fact, it's not popcorn at all, network data.

This made him suddenly lose his interest.

And Dai Wu still said enthusiastically: "I'm not so stupid. The idea I advocate is that you have to live soberly and at the same time, live happily.

"You can't think of games as your first life, you really lie flat, and forget where you came from when you close your eyes, and live your life like a fool.

"However, I can't blame myself for a deep hatred, and feel that I will be trapped in a narrow building forever in the future, and there will be no hope for life. My life will be over... Are you right?

"Down with NE is a concept. This concept means that you are trapped by NE in this game. You must remember clearly that this is a **** game. Don't confuse the game with reality."

Xu Beijin whispered: "A game we can't escape from."

The smile on Dai Wu's face collapsed, and he said sadly, "Does it have to be so dismantled?"

Xu Bei smiled completely.

Dai Wu gave him a deep look, then stopped talking, and finally said, "Buddy..."

"what?"

"Actually, do you really know something?"

Xu Beijin was startled, a little puzzled.

"The way you laugh is..." Dai Wu frowned, not knowing how to describe it, "It just made me feel like you...know a lot."

Xu Beijin: "..."

So Dai Wu and Ringo really have a tacit understanding!

One thinks that he laughs like he knows a lot, the other thinks that he has a big secret in his heart... how do these two people think of him!

Xu Beijin didn't want to say more about this, he shook his head, and said no goodbye to Dai.

When he walked away, Dai Wuxiang suddenly remembered something and said to Xu Beijin loudly, "Be careful behind!"

Xu Beijin stopped and turned around to look at Dai Wu with some confusion.

Dai Wu smiled brilliantly, waved at him from a distance with the look of optimism that had always been heartless, but said nothing.

Xu Beijin: "..."

This guy really didn't know anything. I was still pretending to be there just now...it's really...

And, what does it mean to be careful behind?

Xu Beijin frowned, thinking in confusion.

Although he believed that in the script of the actor, there should be no need to hurt him as a group performer, but since Dai Wudu reminded him of this, Xu Beijin became more cautious.

Besides, although the taskers are all over Loko's apartment and there are no taskers here in the business district, who knows whether the actions of the taskers over there will indirectly affect this side?

Things like nightmares are always unreasonable.

So the cautious Xu Beijin returned to his bookstore without knowing it, and he was truly relieved.

Of course, he got another cup of milk tea on the way, and he put it on the counter of the bookstore happily at the moment. Even just a glance can make Xu Beijin's mood shine bright.

He likes the breath of life in this business district, the food and the scenes like yesterday on the earth. Although this did not affect his quick return to the bookstore.

The live broadcast system gave him the ability to control the overall situation in real time, so Xu Beijin felt that he did not need to take unnecessary risks. Plan and act later, this is his motto.

…Not because of counseling.

In short, Xu Beijin took his audience around the business district for more than half an hour, and then sat back behind the bookstore counter once again, concentrating on controlling the live broadcast system, carefully watching the actions of the group of taskers.

Ringo remained unmoved, still trying to use every electrical appliance and furniture in the room with novelty. The audience has even become accustomed to his appearance.

The rest of the taskers, to be honest, were no different from the scene Xu Beijin saw not long ago.

The female tasker who first appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room was staring at each other with the curtain that had been inexplicably raised before.

In addition, there was a female tasker curled up in the corner, burying her head in her knees, as if this way could resist the unidentified gaze staring at her anytime, anywhere.

The male tasker with a strange expression facing the business district still covered the cat's eyes with his cold hands, in a dilemma, with a solemn expression.

There was a sturdy, muscular male tasker with a frightened expression that did not match his appearance. He kept panting, his eyes bounced back and forth on the ceiling of the apartment, extremely disturbed.

There was a female tasker who looked like she was only in her ten years old, but she was still fierce, holding a pair of scissors that she didn't know where she came from, her eyes piercingly confronted the air.

The last tasker...

Xu Bei was stunned.

On the screen of the live broadcast room, he saw a tall and thin young man whose body like a bamboo pole is unforgettable. His face was pale and nervous, he was muttering words, but he held a toilet brush in his hand, with his head facing down.

He was confronting the toilet.

This peculiar scene caused the audience to cast question marks.

"What the hell, what happened to this toilet?"

"You should ask, what happened to this player."

"He's crazy (Zhou Zhen

"Grass, I thought this nightmare was a bit scary, but now I can't stop laughing."

"I see... he wants to fight the toilet!"

toilet…

Xu Beijin watched this funny scene in the live broadcast room, something faintly flashed in his heart.

In fact, for this tasker, he experienced a very strange thing.

Before coming to the narrow building, he had a special problem, that is, under excessive stress, he would feel sick in the stomach and even diarrhea.

When he entered the game, this problem should have disappeared. For so many years, he has never felt any urge to excrete... They are in the narrow building, theoretically, they do not need to eat or drink Lazard.

But just now, when he was waiting nervously to leave this apartment, he suddenly noticed a gurgling noise from his stomach, as if his stomach was spitting bubbles. The next second, he felt bad.

…Why does it seem to have diarrhea? !

What...in the narrow building? Diarrhea in a nightmare? ? ?

The question mark almost broke through his head. He stumbled into the toilet, sitting on the toilet with an embarrassed look and stiff movements.

He almost doubted that something was wrong with his brain, and he wondered if he still remembered how to pee.

Fortunately, his body... at least instinctively, it seems that he still remembers this matter. He held his head with a broken face, but felt a long-lost, alive feeling.

…But why do you use this method! It's so embarrassing!

A foul smell lingered on the tip of his nose, making him uncomfortably want to vomit. He fumbled back with his hand, trying to touch the flush button to flush down the dirty stuff in advance.

Just when he touched the two flush buttons to tell which is the bigger and the smaller, he was about to press it...

He suddenly felt that his hand was empty... that button had been pressed.

…But he clearly hasn’t pressed it yet! His fingers didn't move at all! How can this be? !

"Wow!"

The sound of water had already sounded, accompanied by the huge sound of flushing the toilet, instantly exploding in his ears.

This tall and thin task person, like an electric shock, stood up from the toilet in an instant. He didn't even have time to pull his pants, so he picked up the only weapon in the toilet-the toilet brush, and looked around cautiously.

He whispered: "Impossible...impossible..."

The cold and bright lights in the bathroom couldn't dispel the fear and gloom in his heart. It seems that everything is still the same. The sink, shower room, washing machine, toilet...no problem.

But, who pressed the flush button?

Countless conjectures surfaced in his mind. While holding the toilet brush cautiously, he cleaned himself, and hurriedly pulled up his pants. When Xu Beijin transferred the footage from the live broadcast room, he was well-dressed anyway, and he was not embarrassed.

However, his nervous appearance did not receive the slightest pity from the audience. On the contrary, the audience was laughing stupidly because of his funny behavior.

"Help this little brother must be trying to laugh at me hahahahaha..."

"I see, the power of the toilet brush is simply unmatched! Do you want to have a close contact with the head of the toilet brush?"

"Shut up, I'm going to vomit."

"How do you look like this, have you considered how the toilet feels? You don't, you just think about yourself [狗头]"

"Throughout these taskers, except for the Apple boss who is still the Apple boss, the rest of the taskers have shown the essence of this sentence very well: fighting the air with wits and courage."

"Maybe it's a ghost?"

"How do you know that ghosts must exist?"

"How do you know that ghosts must not exist?"

"Online quarrels are meaningless. Offline duels are recommended."

"My grass! This toilet is really broken! Why did you flush yourself!"

Yes, under the gaze of all the audience, Xu Beijin, and the nervous tall and thin tasker, the toilet flushed out of thin air again.

And the tasker felt painfully that his stomach... began to hurt again.
