Xu Bei thought, this is not very scientific.
Before entering this nightmare, Xu Bei had considered whether he would really enter this nightmare to play.
He enters the nightmare and plays at work, which is quite random. Which nightmare he enters depends on the mastermind's arrangement. But after the live broadcast system arrived, the nightmare he entered became more and more regular.
For example, in the last nightmare, the nightmare related to the elevator, Xu Bei asked Dai Wu to publicize it, so that the task force would be interested in this nightmare. In fact, Xu Beijin did not expect to enter that nightmare role.
But as a result, he really entered that nightmare.
And now, he has also entered this nightmare.
He thought, why, has NE started to meet the needs of players
… This is impossible.
There must be something wrong.
How could NE make his wish come true? How can it be possible for a actor to enter a nightmare if he wants to enter it
But that's how it happened... So, what happened to NE
Earlier, when the news of "someone successfully left the narrow building" and the "ultimate nightmare" spread in the narrow building, Xu Beijin had thought that the ultimate result of these rumors was to make the taskers. Get active.
Maybe in this situation, they can really leave the narrow building? It is not uncommon for a fake to come true.
But the question is, who sent the news
The taskers had noisy for so many days, and they did not find the source of the news. Is it possible that there are really ghosts in the narrow building
… It can only be NE.
NE is the ghost in this narrow building.
But why does it do this? Why should such rumors spread, and why should rumors spread in narrow buildings
Moreover, why does it want Su Enya to return to the bottom of the narrow building? Deliberately let him return to Xu Beijin's next door? Let him carry that nightmare from a higher level
… NE seems to be helping Xu Beijin.
But how is this possible
How could NE do this
Xu Bei sat there expressionlessly, thinking, it's fucking ridiculous.
Everyone thinks that NE is the eyes of the black hand behind the scenes and the ubiquitous monitor. However, judging from the various signs he observed, NE was even secretly helping the taskers and actors... at least, to make them understand the truth.
He sighed, feeling bored and tired.
He knows a lot, but he doesn't know a lot. He didn't know what was going on with NE now, and he didn't know what happened to the world outside the narrow building. They have been in the narrow building for so many years... Maybe everything has changed.
Yes. Perhaps, the time has been long enough, and NE has begun to deviate from the established track after a long time.
perhaps…
Xu Bei thought, perhaps, it's time to open up his nightmare to the outside world.
That would be a very funny scene. Everyone thought there was a big secret hidden in his nightmare. But that's not... That's not the secret they imagined. That's just...
It's just a nightmare related to a nightmare.
And he wants to open up his nightmare... Rather, it is because he wants to enter his nightmare. He felt that it was necessary and necessary to make some changes and try, at least, to confirm one thing.
NE...
Xu Beijin sat there, his eyes flickering, deep and gloomy.
He thought, if he really wants to enter his nightmare, then he has to find a few suitable...It is impossible for him, or Ringo, to achieve his goal.
He needs time, needs enough time, needs strong enough ┌椤
Xu Bei thought for a moment, then put aside these thoughts for the time being, and set his sights on the screen of the live broadcast room. He has already started the live broadcast, and audiences have also appeared.
"Good North!"
"Beibei has been broadcasting so frequently recently, keep it!"
"Secretly licking Beibei's handsome face."
"You guna! Beibei's handsome face is mine!"
"You're guna! It's Little Apple!"
"What kind of nightmare is this time, Beibei?"
The reasoning boss's words finally brought the atmosphere of the live broadcast room back to the serious category.
Xu Bei thought for a while, smiled and said, "If I tell you directly, I'm afraid it will be spoiled."
"Uuuuuu I actually want to hear spoilers."
"... But the big reasoning guy wouldn't let..."
"Hey, I don't use my brain anyway, the reasoning boss is rushing to the duck!"
Xu Bei smiled and looked at the barrage floating on the public screen, and then looked at the scene list on the right side of the live room screen, intending to transfer the scene to the taskers.
Then he stared at the names of those taskers for a while.
Mu Jiashi, Fei, Wu Jian, Ringo, Ding Yi.
…Are the five players starting the black game again? ?
The remaining four people don't recognize names, but these five acquaintances are enough to make Xu Bei laugh and cry.
He couldn't help shook his head, thinking that after this nightmare, Mu Jiashi, Fei, and Wu Jian were only one step away from the truth.
But... Ding Yi
How did Ding Yi return to the bottom of the narrow building? What did she experience at a higher level
Xu Bei was curious, and switched the camera to the taskers. At this moment, the nine taskers were concentrated in a block near the library.
Compared with the two previous nightmare scenes such as the ruins and burning cities, this time the nightmare scene is like the bustling city scene before the end.
Summer afternoon, sunny and hot. Cicadas screamed from the lush trees, and the road was scorching hot by the sun. It's just that those crazy humans broke this tranquil scene.
From time to time, there are crazy human beings rushing away, not knowing where they are going.
Nine taskers appeared on the side of a certain crossroad, facing this scene, they were a little surprised for a while.
The heat of summer soon made them sweat.
Mu Jiashi wiped the sweat from his head and glanced over the taskers present.
It was not surprising that Fei and Wu were present, because they came to this nightmare together. Ringo surprised him a bit, but anyway, this big man has always been out of the ordinary, and no one knows which nightmare he will go to.
There is nothing weird about those who don't know the task force.
But... Ding Yi
Mu Jiashi's gaze paused on Ding Yi's body, and the cyan-haired woman quietly looked back at Mu Jiashi, nodding her head as a greeting.
Mujia really thought, what's up? Why did Ding Yi return to the bottom of the narrow building
She gave up everything she had built on the bottom of the narrow building and went to a higher floor without hesitation, and now she is back
Mu Jiashi had difficulty understanding the mentality of this former "billionaire".
He looked at the four unknown taskers again, guessing that they chose to enter this nightmare because of new rumors on the ground floor of the narrow building.
Those rumors are about a new nightmare.
I have to say that when Mu Jiashi heard this rumor, he couldn't help but wonder, where did these messy rumors come from? These taskers are exhausted in it, only because of some rumors that are not true or false
But when he really understood the content of this rumor and some news about the nightmare, he couldn't help but be astonished.
Because he discovered that the nightmare...that is, the nightmare he encountered on the higher floors of the narrow building!
How can this be? !
He instinctively thought that this might have something to do with Suenya... No, it must have something to do with Suenya!
However, when he went to search for Suenya, he unexpectedly discovered that Suenya was nowhere to be found.
At that moment, what Mu Jiashi felt was an unstoppable panic. Su Enya's disappearance seemed to herald some ominous sign, and made him feel that there seemed to be an invisible hand behind all this, which was flicking the strings, and implying the development of everything.
The only question is, is the owner of this hand kind or malicious
Mu Jiashi was worried and planned to return home, but when he caught a glimpse of the bookstore next door to Su Enya, he hesitated for a moment, and then went to visit Xu Beijin.
In the conversation between him and Xu Beijin, the only thing he still remembers deeply is that the man sitting there with dark eyes and pale complexion, in a mysterious, cold and profound tone. tell him:
"Knowing the truth is a terrible thing, but if you never know the truth for a lifetime, will you die?"
And Mu Jiashi firmly said: "If the truth can lead me to where I want to go, then... Yes, I will. I want to know the truth."
Xu Bei gave him a deep look, and then said, "Go to that nightmare."
Mu Jiashi was a little confused.
Xu Beijin said: "Recently, the nightmare that is circulating on the ground floor of the narrow building. Go to that nightmare."
So Mu Jiashi came to this nightmare... Once again, it should be said.
He wondered whether Xu Beijin knew he had entered this nightmare. He feels that Xu Beijin should not know, but this mysterious bookstore owner is always haunted by an unpredictable aura, making Mu Jiashi always feel that everything is under the control of the other party. .
He thought that it was just a resident of a narrow building.
... Residents of narrow buildings.
Now this term means something more to him, not just a bunch of data in artificial intelligence and games.
Before entering this nightmare, he also went to find Fei and Wujian, and agreed with them to enter this nightmare together.
Earlier, he had another meeting with these two taskers.
Hui He Wu Jian mentioned to him their encounter in a previous nightmare, the nightmare related to the elevator. What they said about the truth and true ending of the nightmare shocked Mu Jiashi.
He didn't know that the survivors in that building were playing the role, and he didn't understand this information at all. He just met the little girl and brought her to her mother—the woman on the 16th floor—and it ended.
Fei gave a bitter smile and said, "Then, what you played might be the ending of the'game'."
In this nightmare, the lunatic below the 9th floor constructed a huge, real game world for this building, but completely dependent on virtual scripts. Reaching the ending of this game, that is, taking the little girl to find her mother, may also be said to be a kind of ending of this nightmare.
However, it was a false and true ending.
Does the false truth make sense
Mu Jiashi couldn't help frowning.
But now it doesn't make sense to be entangled in the original ending, instead he cares more about the news brought by Fei and Wujian.
"Play..." he muttered, "maybe..."
Fei said, "Don't say it. Don't say it."
Mu Jiashi looked at her.
Fei bit her lip, her body trembling slightly: "If NE finds out..."
Mu Jiashi knew Fei He Wujian's character, so he didn't say more about it. The three of them were silent, looking at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
Afterwards, Mu Jiashi told Fei He Wujian about Su Enya, including the nightmare he had encountered at a higher level.
He suddenly realized that with regard to the so-called "truth", he knew the doomsday part, and Feihe Wujian knew the part of the residents of the narrow building.
But... Does that mean everything
After all, why did they enter the narrow building, why they became prisoners in this misty building... No one knows. They just got close to the truth. They understand part of it, but they haven't really got a glimpse of the whole picture.
At that meeting, they were finally troubled by what the information implies. And then, they decided to enter this nightmare.
This... A nightmare was spreading on the bottom of the narrow building.
In the rumors, the taskers said that this was the first nightmare that appeared on the ground floor of a narrow building. But the resident of the narrow building, the owner of this nightmare, yelled that he had come down from a higher level.
He also yelled that the end is coming, and all of them must die.
This is really a very malicious intimidation, but it just attracted the attention of the missionaries on the ground floor of the narrow building.
This group of taskers thought, doomsday? end? ? They need such a nightmare!
Now, all nightmares related to the doomsday seem to be faintly attached to the shadow of the "ultimate nightmare".
The taskers believe that the background of this game called "Escape from the Sky" may be a doomsday that led to charcoal. The survivors are lingering in this tall building, and the appearance of outsiders (taskers) is to solve this. The doomsday, at least, is to investigate the ins and outs of the doomsday.
The nightmares of the survivors, that is, the residents of the narrow buildings, are derived from their encounters in the end. Outsiders enter their nightmares, understand what happened in the beginning, and then target the end in a targeted manner, thereby targeting this group of people. The survivors were rescued from the narrow building.
In this case, there must be an "ultimate nightmare" whose purpose is to completely solve this doomsday.
As long as the ultimate nightmare is solved, the taskers are equivalent to clearing the game, and they can leave this nightmare game logically.
This is the idea of many people, so they are frantically looking for a nightmare related to the doomsday, trying to hit a true ending, and if this nightmare happens to be the so-called "ultimate nightmare", then they can leave the narrow building.
But, of course, some people have more in-depth ideas.
Since the so-called "doomsday" really exists, why did this apocalypse happen to the residents of the narrow buildings, and not to their group of people on earth
Maybe it is because the earth has encountered a doomsday—no matter what kind of manifestation it is—so they will come to the narrow building. The background story in the game is a metaphor for what happened to them as a group of people on earth.
They are the survivors who have truly lost their home planet and are trapped in this gloomy narrow building.
The inferences of the first and second levels now have quite a few believers among the taskers.
As for the third level, I am afraid that only a few people know about it.
That's-why, the residents of the narrow buildings, can't be the people of the earth? Why can't the residents of narrow buildings and outsiders be ├Wangwu
On the higher floors, some news began to circulate in the dark without the taskers on the ground floor of the narrow building.
The source is the item card that Fei sends to a higher level.
She made three of them because their organization has always been like this, and the purpose is to ensure that the information can be passed to the corresponding people.
But this time, they finally returned to the prop card they organized, with only two. One is left out.
The way these item cards are transferred, after all, is to allow a certain task person to go to a nightmare that their organization is already familiar with, play the true ending, and then go to a higher level. This is a very primitive way to convey information, but there is no other way.
It’s just that in the nightmare, the tasker unfortunately encountered a card dealer (or, everyone is a card dealer now?), and then unfortunately was stolen the item card used to transmit information. And, he didn't notice it himself.
And the card dealer, after going to another nightmare, tried to use the prop card but found that it could not be used, and after tore up the prop card in anger, he discovered that there was another mystery in it.
All the taskers in that nightmare all learned the news—the residents of the narrow building had problems.
The information that Fei wrote on that piece of paper was very short, but precise enough: "Narrow-building residents. Play. Human players?"
So, at a certain moment, the taskers began to look at the residents of the narrow buildings with special eyes.
The residents of the higher-level narrow buildings are crazy, but quite a few of them are still sensible and sober.
The actor named Wu Shen, who had had a brief contact with Xu Beijin, almost immediately noticed the opportunity.
When a certain tasker asked bluntly whether he was playing a certain role and whether he had a script, he replied: "Why do you think I don't have one?" He said, "You and I are both eyes and one eye." Does it have a nose and a mouth?"
The tasker was shocked to pass this information out.
Soon, all the higher-level taskers learned of this shocking news.
This caused an uproar.
Some people think this is just nonsense, but some people are suddenly convinced, and they are utterly nagging with other missionaries who believe this news.
They dare not discuss this matter blatantly, for fear that NE and the possible behind-the-scenes will find out, but they secretly exchange information and exchange their own guesses.
After a period of undercurrent surging, everything seemed to be calm again.
Because... What's the point then
When they learned that the residents of the narrow building are like ┧, the players trapped in this narrow building, even their ┌, what appeared in their hearts was not ecstasy, but after a brief shock... Deeper despair .
Yes, there are more victims.
But so what? Even with the cooperation of the residents of the narrow buildings, they cannot leave the narrow buildings.
What's more, in the more candid exchanges in the past few days, they have realized from the cues of the residents of the narrow building that this group is more deeply restrained and restrained by the NE. They cannot break away from the script, and even have stricter hierarchical restrictions.
If it is a group acting, then they can hardly know any clues related to the nightmare.
Moreover, even if they know what they want to say to the outside world, they also need NE's approval, rather than casually revealing it to the outside world.
Therefore, after the brief violent atmosphere passed, the higher-level taskers fell into a more silent state.
And even though the taskers on the ground floor of the narrow building have not yet learned about this, there are indeed some well-informed taskers who have learned that the atmosphere at the higher floors in recent days is rather strange and subtle.
But they also have no time to pay attention to what is happening at a higher level.
Because they have a lot of things now.
At this time, the taskers on the ground floor of the narrow building had the nightmare of the ruin that needed to get through, the nightmare related to the elevator that needed to enter, and now this one seems to have come down from a higher level, and an inexplicable nightmare awaits them.
They are very busy.
Many taskers have not been to the previous two nightmares, and they have heard that a new nightmare, which may be the "ultimate nightmare", has appeared. They can't help but get a terrible headache and don't even know which nightmare to go to first.
Of course, there are questers too, and they go to the third nightmare with their heads dull.
why
Because many people are aware of one thing.
They came to the bottom of the narrow building because they heard that the "ultimate nightmare" was on the bottom of the narrow building; but when they heard the sound, they found that the rumored nightmare was not the so-called "ultimate nightmare."
Later, the statement that "the exit of the narrow building should be on the ground floor rather than the top floor" convinced them.
But in the final analysis, where is the "ultimate nightmare"
No one knows.
This suddenly appeared now. The owner of the nightmare claimed that he came from a higher level nightmare, and it sounded more like a nightmare.
If this nightmare randomly appears on a certain floor of a narrow building from time to time...
The taskers are all dreaming.
They always feel that the strange thing is, why is the rumor that "someone has successfully left the narrow building" is not claimed by any tasker on any floor? Why does no one know where the original source of this news should be
… What if the "ultimate nightmare" is unsure where it actually appears
Missionaries once thought that the "exit" and the "ultimate nightmare" must be at the top level. But no one at the higher level knows where it is.
As a result, the higher-level taskers turned their attention to the ground floor of the narrow building instead.
When this group of higher-level taskers returned to the bottom of the narrow building, they found nothing, but suddenly heard that a higher-level nightmare appeared inexplicably on the bottom of the narrow building...
They all thought, wouldn’t it be this nightmare? So fascinating, no wonder others don’t know the exact location of the ultimate nightmare, right
For various reasons, many taskers have set their sights on this nightmare.
And if it's those taskers who can't make it up and are not well informed, they might still be struggling with that ruined nightmare at the moment.
Mu Jiashi set his sights on the four unknown taskers, thinking that to be able to enter this nightmare in the first time, I am afraid they are taskers with very strong ability and keen sense of smell.
This nightmare... Maybe he can be a waste
Mu Jiashi thought almost jokingly.
He had been in this nightmare before and knew how to play the true ending, although his purpose of entering this nightmare this time was not here. Besides, at the bottom of a narrow building, even if a bad ending is played, what can be done
Besides, there is Ringo in this nightmare.
No matter what he thinks, such a good situation allows him to search for the information he wants without having to take into account the encounters of the other taskers.
This couldn't be better.
Just as Mu Jiashi was thinking like this, he suddenly heard someone take a deep breath.
He looked over and was a long-haired male tasker.
The man showed an intoxicated expression and said madly: "I smell it. It's the breath of my beloved death."
Mu Jiashi: "..."
Oops, it seems that a pervert has entered this nightmare.
