Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Chapter 58: Sooner or later I will forget

Flower arm is complaining to the bald head.

They are walking on the same road. This is located on the north side of the ruins, from west to east, almost through the entire area of ​​the ruins, and can lead directly to a large road that leads to the building.

Huabi's words didn't match his appearance. This is a man who likes to think, talk and talk fast. He blames the bald head for sharing so much information with other taskers.

The bald head replied impatiently: "Okay! Didn't I tell them the most important information?"

Hua Arm is impatient: "But that is what they will know sooner or later as the nightmare progresses! If you want to tell them what we knew in the last nightmare, then tell them all. Now say half and leave half, We don’t have that credibility!"

"They will forget." Bald said, "That's why I did this deliberately. Let them collect some information, and then we will sit back and enjoy the results. Isn't that good?"

Hua's arms opened his mouth, seeming a little surprised. Then, he put his bald arm on his shoulder: "Yes, brother, now you know that you use others as tools?"

The bald sneered: "Otherwise? This scene is too big. How can we explore effectively with the two of us alone. It's better to tell them a little information so that they can understand the nightmare earlier, and then help us.

"As for our concealment, they will forget it sooner or later anyway."

This is the second time he mentioned "they will forget."

At this time, the sound source in the live broadcast room came from these two people. Because no one was speaking in the other scenes, Xu Beijin chose to listen to what the brothers were saying.

In the end, I really heard something.

"They will forget it sooner or later"...what does this mean?

Forgetting... is a certain pattern of this nightmare? What must happen?

The audience was also discussing this topic enthusiastically, but unfortunately the brothers covered it up and said something like riddles, which made the audience's appetite puffed up, but they couldn't get the answer at the first time.

For a while, the lovely and loving audiences were extremely angry.

After another moment, the brothers stopped talking, and the chattering flower arm fell silent. They are walking on this path and can run into several people from time to time.

In addition to the "amnesia" thing, in fact, the bald head also concealed some other things.

For example, the road they walked is the easiest to run into survivors, because this road leads directly to that building, and that building has become a lot of them because it is the most eye-catching among the ruins. A place where survivors are concentrated.

They dared not enter the building, for fear that the building would collapse, so they set up trading venues in various hidden corners near the building. It is similar to a bargaining market in a narrow building.

Bald head and Huabi know that if you go to those trading places, at least in the vicinity, it will be more convenient to find food.

That building is actually in the northeast corner of the entire ruin, and to the south of it was once a large supermarket. Many survivors will go there to find some food that has expired but is still edible. This is also the destination of the brothers.

In the middle of the entire ruin is a playground. It used to be a good place for families or couples to spend time, but now it has become a hiding place for rubble, dust, and other things.

However, the half-recessed Ferris wheel is also an eye-catching landmark.

But Bald and Flower Arm didn't dare to go in that direction, instead they assigned this task to collectors who were uncomfortable with them.

As for Mu Jiashi who was affected by the innocent? I'm really sorry, who told him to never know the other missionaries?

In the narrow building now, there are very few real lone wolves, especially now that the rumors are known by all the taskers.

Everyone knows that the most important thing now is to go to a higher floor as soon as possible. No matter whether the news is true or not, go up now, maybe you can catch up with the time. If it's later, maybe they won't hear any inside stories.

Taskers are worried that they will not be able to make the trip.

Therefore, they chose to team up as far as possible to go to the nightmare. Of course, even if you team up, you can only be acquaintances with yourself. Now for unfamiliar taskers, they will be more prepared and vigilant.

...The card dealer is no longer just a handful of people. Now everyone is a card dealer.

And the purpose is not for selling, but for the true ending.

In this case, no one knows whether the young man who claims to be a collector of discarded cards is a collector. What if he only said this deliberately to reduce the vigilance of others?

Anyway, the bald head and the flower arm are very unhappy with this person.

Mu Jiashi didn't care too much, because he didn't have an item card at all.

In the previous nightmare, he told a tasker that he had no item cards, even none. This is a truth.

Of course, in the previous nightmare, they reached a true ending. Although he did not go to a higher floor, he could still draw cards, and the cards he drew were not bad.

But he immediately sold the prop card, in exchange for some living supplies, including the drinks he gave to Xu Beijin.

He said that he didn't have any item cards, but he actually lied. It should be said that he is now surrounded by families. The reason why he entered the nightmare shortly after returning to the bottom of the narrow building was actually to earn some supplies.

Sometimes, he wondered if he didn't want to enter the nightmare anymore, after all, he had already unconsciously put on the posture of living a good life.

But after entering the nightmare, he still couldn't help thinking, as if his brain didn't listen to him.

......Obviously, I have encountered such a tragic failure, why are you so serious now?

Mu Jiashi thought frustratedly.

However, this time he entered this nightmare, he originally had some intentions.

He wanted to investigate the female resident of the narrow building named Su Enya, but he was penniless and unable to purchase or exchange the information he needed, so he could only try his luck in this nightmare.

He has returned to his old line of business. In addition to bringing the boss, the nugget team itself also needs to discover some clues about the nightmare clearance, and these clues about the nightmare itself are also of great value in the market.

He can use the clues he has obtained, and maybe he can exchange the information he needs.

Of course, after all, it was just a chance to try, so after coming to this nightmare, seeing this group of unreliable teammates, Mu Jiashi felt a kind of discouraged.

...It's better to be a waste. What's the point of investigating that woman, it's just a silly resident of a narrow building...

However, recently in the narrow building, this nightmare seems to have attracted the attention of many people.

Mu Jiashi was thinking, while the collector walked around, enjoying himself, and having fun.

Until they were suddenly stopped by a group of people.

They walked for about ten minutes. In order to prevent missing something, they were not fast, so they walked a little more than one kilometer in total. There are no serious roads along the road. They can only choose to step on the rubble of the ruins, walk or jump cautiously.

Then they suddenly came to a relatively open, flat area. Many people were surrounded by it, and they seemed to be talking about something.

Mu Jiashi swept around and found collapsed entrances, ticket gates, and large fences. He noticed the Ferris wheel again, and suddenly realized.

This is probably a playground.

Because the playground does not have too many buildings in total, it is mainly based on amusement facilities, so even if those amusement projects have been abandoned and useless, or collapsed and rusted, the site still remains there.

Moreover, it seems that it has become a gathering place for some people.

Someone rushed over and stared at Mu Jiashi and the collector with vigilant and repulsive eyes. These are two people he doesn't know.

He said: "Impurities!"

Mu Jiashi was stunned for a moment.

……WTF? This is like, the pass code?

The man stared at the two uninvited guests and said again: "Impurities!"

The collector replied with a grin: "Weekly?"

The man suddenly frowned: "Answer wrong!" Like a loyal knight commander, he waved his hand and called out a few sturdy men from the side, as if intimidating, he said coldly and harshly, "Invader, get out!" "

"Hey, why are you so nervous!" The collector was not afraid at all, but showed an enthusiastic smile. "We are only here. I don't understand your rules. You explain to me. What is ‘impurity’?"

The man frowned, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still insisted: "Please leave."

The tone is rather polite.

At this time, Mu Jiashi noticed that behind the abandoned railings in the playground, many people were slowly gathering towards them like wandering spirits.

They stopped talking, and those whispering voices suddenly disappeared, leaving only a stagnant silence and silence.

It seems that in this ruin, all are dead.

...And obviously there are so many living people in front of them. However, everyone that Mu Jiashi saw was lifeless and indifferent.

For the arrival of Mujiashi and the collectors, they did not feel the slightest welcome. On the contrary, they showed a kind of extreme xenophobia and disgust.

Where does this hostile emotion... come from?

Mu Jiashi thought, maybe the bald quest person still concealed some information. He glanced at the collector beside him, and thought that maybe he was the fish in the pond that was affected.

……never mind.

He sighed secretly, grabbed the collector, nodded calmly to the "Knight Commander", and said, "I'm sorry, we will leave now."

They chose to bypass this playground.

Until he was dragged away by Muji, the collector was still chattering: "Hey, impurities, what kind of impurities... You are so anxious! We can obviously ask!"

Mu Jiashi calmly replied: "Don't worry. It's the first round of the nightmare. Don't rush to confront these guys. Start from somewhere else and see their details before talking."

The collector was taken aback, and then exaggeratedly gave Mu Jiashi a thumbs up: "You are strong! Are you ready to take the wrong hand?"

Mu Jiashi: "..."

He frowned slightly and looked at the young man inexplicably.

When did he say he was going to attack those people?

The collector didn't care if he had misunderstood Mu Jiashi's meaning, he continued to walk around-fortunately his appearance was a young man, otherwise this would be too childish.

But Jiashi Mu is actually not used to this look. After all, the collector just looks young from the outside, if you count the time he spent in the narrow building...

All taskers are actually not young anymore.

It's just that their age, and their bodies, are forever fixed at the moment they enter the narrow building.

If he insisted, Mu Jiashi felt that he could be said to be an uncle in his forties, but his appearance still looked like he was in his early twenties.

Although the body hasn't changed much, their inner part is already far apart.

Sometimes, Jiashi Mu can't help thinking, even if they can really leave the narrow building, can they adapt to the outside life? They have lived in such a nightmare and such a narrow building for so many years...

Whenever he thought of this, Mu Jiashi couldn't help but sigh.

He continued to walk with the collector.

They agreed that the meeting place was the building.

In terms of route, Bald and Flower Arm had the shortest path to go, but Bald said that he provided some information, so it was what they deserved.

Although the distance between Mu Jiashi and the collector is shorter, it is really difficult to follow. Especially, when they bypassed the playground and found that the surroundings were all the ruins of the rugged, no smooth roads at all...

The smile on the corner of the collector's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

When there was a little conflict between the two people walking to the southeast and the people on the other side of the playground, Xu Beijin had already walked out of his bookstore and looked out at the door of the building.

Such a huge ruin looks really awe-inspiring. Because it looked more like being destroyed by a weapon that fell from the sky, rather than being corroded by the power of time.

The playground is like the center of the weapon, because the closer you get to it, the more exaggerated the damage of the building, almost shattered.

The more you go to the center of the playground, the more the ground collapses.

But what weapon can cause such terrible power?

Xu Bei stood there expressionlessly, looking at the ruins in front of him with deep and calm eyes. There was wind blowing from a distance, and there was a whistling sound.

He remembered something very long ago.

After a long time, when the audience in the live broadcast room asked him why he stopped moving, Xu Beijin suddenly withdrew from the past and returned to reality.

He smiled embarrassedly, then switched the sound source to his side, leading the audience to explore the ruins near the building for a while.

Said it was a ruin, occasionally a few walls did not collapse, forming a place barely sheltered from wind and rain. This has become a gathering place for those survivors, or in other words, a trading place.

However, they never stay in these places. Those survivors shuttled through different gathering places like phantoms. Xu Bei caught a glimpse of one every time. When he really looked carefully, he couldn't see the figure again.

In the end he saw only one man, ragged and numb. He was so hungry that his cheeks were sunken and his eyes were dull, so he had to work hard to find food.

His pace was slow, and he was like a snail compared to other survivors. He holds a porcelain bowl in his hand, which may be used to barter or beg for food.

The man walked from here to there. Soon after, Xu Beijin saw him come out from behind a wall, seeming to be holding a piece of bread in his hand, and then walked away weakly.

The audience was shocked by the man's hungry footsteps.

"Ah... this kind of doomsday survival game... is too unfriendly to me!"

"Other people's doomsday game: Tututu da da da da; my doomsday game: I'm so hungry, I'm going to die..."

"Looking at these people, I suddenly had a question... Beibei, why are you so leisurely? You don't have to look for food and still guard a quite complete bookstore?"

"!!! It makes sense! Beibei, have you risen in this nightmare!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He smiled bitterly and touched his nose, and said in a good voice, "No, it's still a group performance."

The audience sighed in disappointment immediately.

However, someone else said: "But if that's the case... wouldn't the tasker suspect that Beibei is a bad guy again?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He suddenly felt that this audience made a lot of sense.

He suddenly felt a little curious about the identity he played. He did not get any information from the main brain NE, which means that he is indeed a group performer.

However, as Dai Wu once said, in some film and television works, group acting may not be an unimportant role-rather, he is now more like a friendship starring in a certain role, but he has a considerable status. As an important role?

You see, the other actors are surviving in the doomsday, but he is still peacefully in front of a bookstore owner. Let alone whether he is hungry or not, at least he has a perfect shelter from the wind and rain.

But... why?

And why would these survivors let him stay in the bookstore? Why don't they enter the building?

The building may collapse, but at least it is more comfortable than being in the open air, right? Wouldn't it be nice to leave after seeing signs of collapse?

Now the weather outside is gloomy, and it's unsure when it will rain, but those survivors still turn a blind eye to the building, which is a good rain shelter... Doesn't this seem too strange?

Xu Beijin frowned and said to himself: "What does the building... symbolize?"

From the perspective of the live broadcast system, only three different perspectives are listed under the scene of the building: bookstore, stairwell, and rooftop.

This means that the interior of the building is actually empty, and the offices that seem to be accessible are just furnishings. From the perspective of the path, it is as if the tasker is allowed to explore in the bookstore, and then walk up the stairs to the rooftop.

...It's gone.

This is the purpose of this building.

But what's the use? What's on the rooftop?

A few minutes later, Xu Beijin climbed onto the roof of the top floor. This building has a total of 13 floors. Because all the surrounding buildings have collapsed, you can look down on the entire ruins when you stand on the roof.

He suddenly felt that this place might be a good place to control the overall situation.

From here, you can also see the Ferris wheel in the amusement park. and……

Xu Bei narrowed his eyes as if he wanted to see more clearly.

A lot of people gathered in the playground, and the heads of the densely populated people were small black ants one after another.

What are they doing together there? Xu Bei thought to himself.

He was a little curious, so he opened the live broadcast room and opened a special screen, and the angle of view was aimed at the playground.

If you follow the number of the live broadcast system, the playground alone will occupy five ruins from the 20th area to the 26th area.

It was indeed a huge scene, and Xu Beijin focused his perspective on the place where the crowd gathered, and opened the sound source over there.

"Impurities! Impurities!!! Impurities!!!"

The crowd is chanting this word, just this one word.

Xu Bei listened for a moment, and realized that he still shouted meaninglessly.

After about ten seconds, the shouts of the crowd finally stopped. Xu Beijin took this opportunity to take a look at the situation in this scene. This seems to be the central square of the playground, empty and huge.

If it is on the earth, it is still an ordinary day, then this may be a good place for a family of young and old to gather and rest. Maybe there will be pigeons flying over. In the middle of the square is an exquisite fountain, and the surrounding circle is full of restaurants and gift shops.

But now, the stone sculpture in the center of the fountain has collapsed. Here are the ruins after the end.

Xu Bei was in a daze for a moment, and he couldn't tell whether he was in a nightmare or...on the earth.

When he regained his senses, the crowd of mobs had already calmed down. Their gazes stared feverishly at a man in front of him, who was walking slowly and firmly on the square where the fountain was originally.

Now there is a high platform here. He walked up.

This seems to be a middle-aged man about forty years old. He has long hair, a black robe, and a hooked nose. There is always a gloomy expression between his eyebrows.

He gestured to the people around him to quiet down, then coughed slightly and began to speak.

"When human beings are excessively presumptuous, God will punish them, God will send messengers, and God will destroy everything."

He babbled a bunch of words.

Xu Bei frowned deeply.

This scene, like a mission, made Xu Bei feel weird and ridiculous for a while. What he meant was that this is a narrow building, this is a nightmare-this is a **** game!

And this group of people are actors.

There are very few real NPCs in the narrow building, so few actors suspect that they are just the actors who have lost themselves. In this game, there may be no so-called NPC at all.

So, the group of people in front of them, are they just playing in accordance with the script of the mastermind? But they seem to be too serious and pious again.

The enthusiasm and conviction in their eyes and expressions seemed to show that they had really taken what the man said as their standard. They really believed that the ruins in front of them, like the post-apocalyptic scene, were really a punishment from God.

This absurd scene made Xu Beijin feel a little disgusted. He squeezed his palm subconsciously, and suddenly regretted it a little. When he goes out, he should bring at least a glass of water.

In the live broadcast room, the audience laughed and laughed at this man-the **** stick.

The man said a lot of things, and the people below looked at him religiously and fanatically, just like his believers.

The man finally concluded with one sentence: "Humanity is the impurity of the earth!"

The others started shouting again: "Impurities! Impurities!!"

The loudness of its voice made it seem to be heard by the missionaries from farther away.

The man and woman walking south from a district seemed to have heard something in a daze. They stopped almost immediately and looked around, looking extremely disturbed and nervous.

Their eyes flickered, as if something was staring at them all the time, or there might be a monster at any time, leaping out of the void, and then suddenly killing them.

They seem to live in an unreasonable world.

"...Did you hear anything?"

The woman bit her lip, her teeth left deep red bites on her pale lips. This is her habitual movement. Sometimes, she even bites her lips and bleeds.

The man also looked around warily. After a while, he said, "It seems safe."

Women are more anxious.

The man didn't give too much, he even shed a cold sweat. He tried to get himself to say something pretending to be calm: "Don't worry, maybe... there is nothing."

The woman stared at him.

The man finally couldn't hold back the expression on his face. He eagerly said to the woman next to him: "You think, this nightmare..." He swallowed, "Could it be the one we've been looking for?"
