In this ruin, only one tall building survived, and it is now crumbling.

Xu Beijin is the owner of the bookstore on the first floor of this tall building.

This building seems to be an office building. His bookstore is more like a shop selling peripherals, cultural and creative supplies, etc., but there are also some other books.

In any case, this store is now very shabby, no different from the antique bookstore in the last nightmare. I'm afraid, just like the ruins outside the window, his bookstore is about to become a member of the ruins.

—Xu Beijin walked around the bookstore, and then came to these conclusions.

Later, he opened the live broadcast room.

He once again faced a nightmare... a very complicated scene.

Xu Bei looked at the list of nearly sixty different scene angles almost speechlessly. Fortunately, this time the six taskers were in the same scene when they entered the nightmare.

On the list of Xu Beijin's live broadcast system, that is the place called Ruins One.

In addition to the first area as the starting point of the nightmare, there are also areas from two to forty-nine, a total of forty-nine different ruin areas.

Xu Beijin focused the live broadcast perspective on the six taskers.

At this time, some viewers also entered the live broadcast room.

"Beibei is good!"

"Beibei hasn't seen you for a long time! I miss you so much."

"It's been a long time since Beibei has launched a live broadcast! I thought Beibei would have uttered us forever... More and more live broadcasts in the future."

"What is Beibei's nightmare? While the reasoning boss is not there, you can give us a spoiler!"

"Huh, isn't the reasoning boss here?"

"Ah...the situation is indeed a bit...suddenly worried."

"The reasoning boss doesn't know what happened in reality, right?"

"...Don't crow's mouth. The situation is not good, what can we do?"

"Bah, baah, let's not talk about those things. Don't make Beibei feel bad."

Xu Beijin: "..."

do not!

He is in a good mood!

Tell me more, what's the situation!

Xu Bei hated in his heart.

He can only pretend to be nonchalant and tell the audience about his position, but in his heart he still feels strong curiosity about what the audience has just mentioned.

What kind of situation is not good... can cause the reasoning boss to have an accident in reality?

However, the special word "situation" gave Xu Beijin some ominous premonitions in his heart.

Obviously, these viewers in his live studio are ordinary civilians. And what situation can cause civilians to have trouble for no reason?

Xu Beijin's first reaction was war.

But, war?

When these humans from Xu Beijin entered the narrow building, it can be said that the earth has entered a period of relatively stable development, and hot wars are already very rare. War, for the civilians of their age, is almost a fantasy.

However, in the mouth of the audience in the live broadcast room, the so-called "bad situation" is like... commonplace, and even let them admit their fate.

Why is this happening?

What did the world outside the narrow building look like?

An extremely anxious and uneasy emotion arose in Xu Beijin's heart, but he could not share it with anyone.

... This time Ringo did not participate in this nightmare.

It seemed that Ringo had something to do these days, and he didn't even come to Xu Beijin's bookstore every day.

Since the last time he borrowed a horror novel from Xu Beijin to read it, he seemed to have a keen interest in the books of Xu Beijin, so he would come to borrow a book every day. After reading it that day, the second Come here to change another one.

Xu Beijin originally suspected that he just wanted to fight with himself, so he deliberately used reading to get close to him, but after careful questioning, Ringo really seriously read every book.

Hmm... I have a tiger in my heart, sniff the rose?

So Ringo came to the bookstore to report every day, staying for a whole day, and continuing for ten days. Xu Beijin’s bookstore is isolated from the rest of the world, and they live there all day long, sharing books, drinks and snacks, and occasionally talking.

For these two or three days, when Ringo hadn't come, Xu Beijin was really uncomfortable.

He was a little curious about what Ringo had done. Before Ringo left, he had told Xu Beijin that some things might not come in the next few days.

But Xu Beijin felt that he didn't have to be so curious about Ringo's life.

The drink matter has allowed Ringo to intervene in his daily life, not to mention reading. He was even used to Ringo appearing in his bookstore. Arrive on time every day, leave on time...

But sometimes, Xu Bei can't help thinking, what can this bring? For their life in a narrow building, for nightmares...for everything.

Nothing can be changed.

A new person appears in his life, and one day, this person may also leave. Ringo approached him because he wanted to fight him and wanted to know his combat power.

If one day he gets bored, or goes to a higher floor, then all this company and closeness will end. Xu Beijin stayed at the bottom of the narrow building.

Besides, Ringo is the tasker, and Xu Bei is the actor. The tasker never knew the existence of the player, they just regarded them as the NPC of the game, a bunch of data rather than a living person.

These pessimistic thoughts always disturb Xu Bei's peaceful life. But he is used to his own pessimism, so sometimes he can tease himself and say, you see, after all, he is still a new friend, right?

He has never made friends in a narrow building.

But this time in the nightmare, he still saw an acquaintance among the taskers.

Mu Jiashi.

Since the last visit, Xu Beijin has never seen Mu Jiashi in such a long period of time. He doesn't go out very much, and in the past ten days, he has not entered a nightmare to go to work, and Mu Jiashi has never visited him again.

Before Xu Beijin thought that Mu Jiashi was still interested in his nightmares, but now it seems that this man who experienced failure on a higher floor seems to be really discouraged.

…Although in this nightmare, he seems to be normal.

Because the rest of the taskers seem to be very, very unreliable.

Mu Jiashi: "..."

He suddenly wanted to know that the two nightmares he encountered after returning to the bottom of the narrow building were a bit of a headache, whether the reason was because of the mentality of "I want to be a waste too".

In addition to Chemu Jiashi, there are five taskers who introduce themselves as waste card collectors and look out of their way. They are babbling and staring at a man and a woman around them with vigilant and neurotic eyes. They have red, swollen, bloodshot eyes and expressions. Two men with ferocious and strong builds.

No one knows Mu Jiashi, a gold nugget who was once famous at the bottom of the narrow building, but Mu Jiashi actually breathed a sigh of relief.

The collector touched his chin and said with a smile: "Oh, that's great. It looks like you should all have item cards. If you run out of use times in this nightmare, why not sell it to me? If you give it to me, then I'm so happy!"

The two men with red blood in their eyes glanced at him disdainfully at the same time.

For the taskers, the waste card collectors are like those kiddos who are naively addicted to toys.

The vast majority of discarded card collectors have very distinctive personalities. For example, the young man in front of him can smile and mention the discarded card indifferently even in the ruined nightmare.

The discarded card collectors are also the only ones who can openly mention item cards in their nightmares. The rest of the taskers shunned these three words for fear that they would be stolen, and for fear that others would misunderstand that they were card dealers.

But collectors of scrap cards don't care about so many, they always want scrap cards. If they inadvertently get an item card that still retains the number of uses, they will return it to the owner, or give it to others casually.

Many taskers have a good relationship with collectors, because the collectors of discarded cards often get this kind of card.

Either it is the stolen goods that the card dealers are not good at, or it is the item card that is lost for various reasons, or... In fact, many taskers suspect that the house thief will cooperate with the collectors.

Some house thiefs will give or sell a whole batch of prop cards that have been cleaned out from the homes of those who disappeared to the collectors, and it is very likely that some of them will still retain a small number of uses, which is extremely rare and Precious prop card.

But scrap card collectors don't care.

In a sense, they deal with much more prop cards than card dealers.

But that's just a useless card.

Therefore, there are many taskers who think that these collectors are all fools. They collect discarded cards, but they are dismissive of serious prop cards... This is not a madman, or a fool.

The vast majority of discarded card collectors actually think they are lunatics.

This **** narrow building, **** world... Isn't it suitable for lunatics like them?

So at this moment, the collector smiled and looked at the rest of the taskers: "I'll take it as you agree, how about it? The useless card is useless for you. But for me..." He took a deep breath. In one breath, he exhaled, "That is the supreme treasure."

There was a tasker with a bald head. He rubbed his arms with an exaggerated expression, and then rolled his eyes: "Madman." He turned to clap his hands and said, "Well, this is a nightmare. We should do business. Don't pester this guy forever."

The young collector called "this guy" was not surprised, he still smiled on his lips, as if the smile was engraved on his face.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was stunned by this guy's laughter.

"Why can anyone laugh so happily in this escape game? Is it perverted?!"

"That's the supreme~ treasure~ ah!"

"...You Qiuqiu, I don't understand why some people treat **** as treasure."

Just now Xu Beijin has explained to them what is a waste card collector, and not surprisingly, the audience is also a little dizzy-why do people like to collect this kind of thing? !

Xu Beijin still said quite pertinently: "The decks of the prop cards are all different. It is said that some types of prop cards are complete sets, which are very easy to satisfy the hobby of collectors."

The audience agreed, but they still believed that in the current environment, a person who can laugh so happily must not be a good person.

...This is ruins.

A world composed of rubble, bricks, steel bars, and cement. Dust is scattered in the air. Sometimes it looks like a kind of mist with a special color. But the grayish-yellow hazy feeling always reminds people of something else. Scene.

For example, in a doomsday movie, the sunset is dim, leaving only a faint afterglow.

It was as if something, what ultimate weapon, fell cruelly at a certain moment, and then instantly destroyed this city. They saw countless collapsed buildings and collapsed houses. They saw a Ferris wheel hanging down in the distance.

And the surroundings are very quiet.

Occasionally, they could catch a glimpse of a few figures, bending over from the broken corner of the street, but in the blink of an eye, those figures were gone.

The bald tasker took a deep breath and tried to ignore the collector's numbing smile on his back.

He said: "We are going to explore this scene separately."

In the live broadcast room, a piece of "fools" floated on the barrage.

Everyone knows that in this kind of escape game, the team is best not to be separated, but this bald head, who has naturally taken over the leadership of the team, has taken the initiative to act separately?

However, Xu Beijin said a good thing to him: "The scene of this ruin is too big, and the team explores together, which will waste a lot of time."

Mu Jiashi thought so too.

His eyes swept around, especially behind him. He noticed that the farther place behind them was covered by dense fog, and it was completely unclear.

He thought, this meant that they couldn't leave this area?

At this time, the bald head proposal had been approved by all taskers, and Mu Jiashi nodded absently.

Baldzhi nodded triumphantly, so he thought he had taken control of the leadership, and said part of the information he knew: "This is the second time my brother and I have entered this nightmare."

This immediately raised the interest of other taskers, and even the collector blinked and looked at him curiously.

The "brother" mentioned by the bald head refers to the flower-armed tasker next to him. However, they are not similar in appearance, but they are similar in body and look, and I am afraid they are not brothers in the true sense.

The bald gaze swept across every tasker, as if to confirm his leadership position.

Mu Jiashi looked frustrated, letting his bald look look at him, but in his heart he thought that when he entered the nightmare last time, he also encountered a tasker who entered the nightmare for the second time.

Compared to the bald head's frankness, that person is much more hypocritical and selfish.

But...there are so many people like this lately.

As soon as this idea appeared in Mu Jiashi's mind, he immediately understood the reason.

Because of the recent atmosphere among the taskers on the ground floor of a narrow building, it can be described as radical. Almost everyone is constantly entering nightmares.

The true ending is naturally to leave the bottom of the narrow building immediately, and for bad endings or ordinary endings, the taskers will not be discouraged, but will continue to work hard, and immediately return to the previous nightmare the next night.

Unless you have failed several times in a row, for fear that you will enter the nightmare again, the nightmare will have an unknown collapse, and this will give up this nightmare and try other nightmares. Otherwise, they must be the same.

The reason is naturally because the more you enter a nightmare, the more information you can grasp, and the higher the probability of a true ending.

S/L Dafa is good.

Because of this, recently there are fewer and fewer taskers on the ground floor of narrow buildings. Ten or twenty days of work, the nightmare of so many narrow-building residents, are enough for this group of taskers to break through.

Even if you are a good cook, you can catch someone else's ride.

For various reasons, the taskers who are still at the bottom of the narrow building have their own minds. Either it's really good, bad luck and missed the ride of the other people's true ending; or it's not an attempt to fish in troubled waters.

Of course, there are also Ringo and Mu Jiashi who really don't want to go to higher floors; there are also those missionaries who still choose to eat and wait for death and indulge in carnivals.

In any case, the current ground floor of the narrow building is very different from the past.

Xu Beijin didn't know this at all.

He couldn't even imagine how lively it was in the bottom of the narrow building and those nightmares in just these ten days.

Therefore, when he heard that the bald head and the flower arm were both coming to this nightmare for the second time, he couldn't help but be surprised, and subconsciously thought of the second nightmare he broadcasted.

In the ruined nightmare, Xu Beijin didn't get any information from the main brain, which made him stare at the bald head in the live broadcast room, wanting to see what this guy knows.

The bald head confirmed that every tasker was curious about what he said, and then he nodded, with a feeling of complacency and pride, and said his previous exploration in the nightmare.

"This ruin is probably a rectangular area. The surrounding area is foggy and can't get out... Hey, when we came last time, there was a idiot who wanted to go out, but didn’t know what was going on, so he just caused a nightmare. Restarted once.

"This scene is mainly in ruins, and there is another building, but that building is about to collapse. What seems to be this place... After the end, many survivors are looking for food here, and we are also survivors.

"By the way, in this nightmare, we will feel hungry and tired, so we must also look for food."

Having said that, the bald head thought about it carefully, and said, "That's it."

The collector touched his chin and asked enthusiastically, "But you are not important information. When we explore the scene for a while, we can also find out. Did you get such a bit of information the last time you came to this nightmare? What is the ending? ?"

The bald head glanced at him in disgust: "The last time we had a nightmare, we didn't find food in the end..." His voice slowly sank, "Then all starved to death. A bad ending."

The collector's eyes flashed brightly, and he said to himself: "Oh...bad ending..."

In the live broadcast room, the audience chatted on the barrage.

"So, this is a doomsday survival game?"

"Look for food, then...? Since the bad ending was played before, wouldn't the ordinary ending be that you found the food and didn't starve to death, right?"

"This ending is really ordinary."

"If the main scene is the ruins and the building, then the information should be clearly concentrated in the building... right?"

"The bald head didn't mention the building very much. It seems that the building may be just a set? Oh, by the way, Beibei said just now that this is an office building, so I shouldn't find any food."

"No, there is a bookstore in Beibei here. There must be any clues in the bookstore?"

"Beibei... uh, Beibei, what's wrong with you?"

When the main perspective was aimed at those taskers, Xu Beijin reduced the picture of his bookstore and placed it in the lower right corner. At this moment, the audience saw that in the small window, Xu Beijin's complexion was as pale as a dead person, and even his lips were shaking.

After a while, he seemed to suddenly return to his senses, and subconsciously said hurriedly: "Sorry, I...I'm distracted."

The audience was very tolerant, just curious about what Xu Beijin had just thought of and why his expression suddenly became so ugly, like...fear.

Xu Bei was silent for a moment.

During that moment, he subconsciously leaned his back on the back of the chair. He clenched his fingers, feeling a dull, heavy pain and gloom.

He smiled reluctantly: "I just thought of...some things in reality."

"Ah... Hug Beibei."

"Beibei is willing to broadcast this kind of game, it must be because real life is not so easy... everything will be fine! Beibei believe me!"

"Beibei, don't think about the things that make you sad and unhappy."

The audience in the live broadcast console comforted Xu Beijin, and Xu Beijin also softly thanked them. The gloom between his eyebrows remained undiminished, so after only a moment, the audience's topic went off the track.

"Seriously... I think Beibei is more like an angry villain at this time than a sad little cutie."

"I really want to say, Beibei, don't keep your face calm, it's really scary."

"... Beibei, you are a little self-aware of your face, don't show this expression casually, it will scare the flowers and plants!"

"Beibei, have a laugh!"

"When Beibei smiled, he looked like a villain who succeeded in trickery."

Xu Beijin: "..."

Hello! He is a really good man!

Being so disturbed by the audience in the live broadcast room, Xu Beijin's mood changed from depression to depression.

Although they are all "gloomy", the situation seems to be different.

He sighed dumbfounded and turned his gaze back to the scene in the live broadcast room-the bald head.

He said that this nightmare is a ruin after the end.

end…

Xu Beijin held his head and looked sad. He couldn't say that he had thought of something at this time, because thoughts and memories were mixed together, making him not clear at all whether it was the past or the present.

…end.

In the narrow building, this is almost a forbidden word. For various reasons, this term was once hyped up in the narrow building, and then it was suddenly forbidden to mention it.

Xu Bei may have not recalled this word and the meaning it symbolized for a long time.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the ruins outside the window—he thought, the end?

…It may not only be a doomsday.

During the period of his silence, the taskers had already assigned their tasks.

If the whole ruins are rectangular, then they are located in the most remote northwest corner.

So, starting from their current location, a group of bald heads and floral arms, heading to the east; the man and woman are companions, they head to the south to explore; while Mu Jiashi and the collector group, they slanted to the southeast and headed towards the whole. Explore the central location of the ruins.

Five minutes after the nightmare began, the six taskers walked out of their starting point.

Xu Bei returned to his senses and divided the live broadcast room into four equal parts, showing what he had here and what the three people and horses had explored.
