Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Chapter 17: Recall the scene

Views:

Mawei sister vaguely noticed something wrong with the atmosphere.

In other words, she felt that the air seemed to be stagnant. And the root of everything lies on the man lying on his side.

She walked around in front of Wu Shen, then she was shocked, her eyes widened and she took two steps backwards, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak.

"What's wrong?"

Because of the lack of knowledge, she was worried about the situation of the ponytail girl, and quickly stepped forward to look at Wu Shen.

The next second, he shouted: "Fuck, why are you awake?!"

Everyone thought that Wu Shen, who was asleep, was awake all the time.

Even at this moment, he stared straight at the ponytail girl and Kong Jing, with a strange smile on his mouth. He just kept his original posture, still lying on his side on the bed.

After the initial panic, several taskers quickly calmed down.

Although Wu Shen was a bit weird like this, they weren't the masters who had never seen a more weird nightmare. Residents of these narrow buildings, after entering their nightmare, will become even more strange and extreme.

They even felt that Wu Shen was the master of a normal nightmare like this. The look before is a bit too normal.

Sister Mawei took a deep breath, calmed down, and then boldly asked, "Mr. Wu?"

Wu Shen did not respond. He still looked straight at the three people in front of him without blinking.

I don't know why, at this time Mawei sister suddenly remembered a description in Wu Shen's diary.

He wrote at the time that a client joked that after his daughter disappeared, Wu Shen also looked like a doll, dull and stiff. And now Wu Shen, who is lying here, is not like a doll? !

Sister Mawei again thought of the dolls who were chasing them down, inexplicably, her back was cold.

Gang Jing didn't have as much as she thought. When she saw Wu Shen lying there, she didn't respond, so she asked casually, "What should I do now? Why is he not responding?"

The man with glasses said, "Maybe... There is no stimulus?"

"We met Wu Shen twice and woke up because we found his letter." Mawei sister said, "Try again?"

"I really want to try it." The man with glasses turned around and was about to go out, frowning suddenly, "Where is that doll?"

"what?"

"That doll in a red dress and said to have eyes! She is gone!"

Sister Mawei frowned slightly, thought about it, and then said: "It seems that she does have something to do with Wu Shen. Maybe it was a doll made by Wu Shen after her daughter disappeared? Imitated the appearance of her daughter... ?"

The man with spectacles frowned, always feeling something was wrong, but couldn't tell, "Maybe... That's it?"

Gang Jing didn't think so much. He was impatient and walked out in a stride: "Then I'll go and get the letter from the next room!"

When he went, the man with glasses and the girl with ponytail immediately turned their eyes to Wu Shen.

Sure enough, but for a moment, Wu Shen's eyes suddenly moved. His expression was still very dull. When he saw two strangers in the room, he just asked slowly: "Who are you...?"

"Is he awake or not?" The glasses man couldn't help asking, "Why is he so cripple?"

Sister Mawei frowned, and replied in a low voice: "It's hard to tell."

She looked at Wu Shen again.

Wu Shen slowly got up from the bed, the movements of his limbs and joints were very stiff. At this moment, he is really like a doll, even slower than the dolls he made.

He was sitting on the bed, his limbs stretched out stiffly like a doll. He was about to stand up.

"Xiaochun." Sister Mawei said suddenly, "Wu Xiaochun, your daughter. She is missing."

Wu Shen froze there, he froze for a long time, and then said: "Yes... Yes... Xiaochun... My daughter..."

His reaction now is completely different from the previous one. The outward sadness and despair disappeared. What replaced it was a deep loss and exhaustion, as if he had been forced to face this fact countless times, so he was numb. Admit it.

He said: "Xiaochun... is gone..."

The man with glasses looked at Wu Shen with a careful look, and he harshly commented: "To be honest, I really can't tell, he might actually be able to attack his daughter."

Sister Mawei glanced at him and nodded slowly: "Indeed. He really seems to love Xiaochun."

Wu Shen sat there vaguely, saying something vaguely. His muddy eyes wandered in such muddy air, as if he could not distinguish between reality and illusion, and did not know what was real.

The next second, he stood up suddenly. He returned to his normal expression in an instant, but turned a blind eye to the ponytail girl and the man in glasses, and walked out on his own.

The moment he walked out of the room, the whole nightmare scene was refreshed. The messy and dirty scenes in the room are gone, replaced by neat and clean furnishings and clean floors.

The stench faintly permeating the air disappeared, and a refreshing fragrance diffused in the breath, refreshing.

In the room, the bed that looked dirty and old suddenly turned into a princess bed with a white carved wooden headboard.

The ponytail girl looked at the curtains of the room. The curtains, which had been yellow and moldy, were now back to white translucent gauze fabric, and fell gently on the floor along with the sunlight.

The man with glasses said: "The nightmare has changed."

Sister Mawei said affirmatively: "It seems that we have just triggered a special event."

She poked her head out the window again to see the scene on the street.

The inside of the house is clean and bright, but the street outside is still deserted, only the bookstore next door is open.

Sister Mawei said: "Only the doll shop has changed. This should be... Back in the past? It means that something may have triggered Wu Shen's memory, which gave the nightmare a new scene."

She glanced at the man in glasses, and said in unison: "The day Xiaochun disappeared."

This happens occasionally in nightmares.

Nightmare is a nightmare after all, there are many things that are uncertain and absurd. For example, in this nightmare, they can only go around in the three scenes of deserted streets, bookstores and doll shops. Of course, this cannot be the case in reality.

Sometimes, as the tasker explores the nightmare, or stimulates the nightmare's owner, the nightmare will change. There may be new areas of the scene that can be explored, new characters may appear, and maybe...

Just like now, Wu Shen, the owner of this nightmare, recalled in the dream what happened in the past.

These rules are not very clear to the task force. Because every nightmare is different, every resident of a narrow building has a unique past and a unique nightmare derived from it.

What happens in a nightmare, different taskers may even have different experiences and experiences.

This kind of complicated situation, coupled with the fact that the taskers are always secretive about their experiences in the nightmare, the rules of the nightmare have become a variety of rumors that are difficult to distinguish, and no one knows its true or false.

But if Xu Beijin is to be told, these rules are very clear for their actors.

what

It is to temporarily add or change the play.

The actor is an actor who plays in the script provided by the main brain. There are heavy constraints on them, preventing them from making actions that do not match the script.

But the taskers are not.

Quests run wild and unscrupulous in the nightmare, and sometimes go out of the scope of the script of the mastermind.

At this time, the main brain has to adapt to the circumstances and make adjustments to the established script.

For the actors, this is also an opportunity. Because there may be some omissions or contradictions in the adjusted script, this is a good time for the actors to play freely and secretly provide clues to the taskers.

But this has nothing to do with Xu Beijin.

This kind of temporary additions are basically for the protagonist or important supporting role.

Is he acting in a group

Thinking too much, it is impossible to get a group acting and adding a play.

At this time, because of the sudden change of the doll shop scene, the audience in the live room also exclaimed.

"Wow! Suddenly! The set is great!"

"I really want to try this game... Many puzzle-solving games nowadays are too routine. They are still the easy chair detective mode where murder scenes, suspects, witnesses, etc. are investigated step by step. They were all played hundreds of years ago. Style!"

"Big guy, big guy, that's because you are too big... For a little rookie like me, I can't find a murderer in this kind of puzzle game that you are talking about [瑟瑟发震]"

"Stop talking, those players followed Wu out!"

Xu Beijin also watched the scenes in the live broadcast room with gusto.

In fact, at this time, he was ready to go for a walk.

Because, at this time, the live broadcast interface shows that the three taskers and Wu Shen are all in the scene called "Wu Shen's Memories". This means that there is no one in the doll shop now, so he can go shopping.

pity…

He glanced at the Ringo, who was sitting there like a door god, and had no choice but to give up.

Although he doesn’t know if the group performer does not need to play, walking out of his active area is considered a violation of the main brain, but in the presence of the task force, the actor performs behaviors that are inconsistent with the nightmare requirements. Action, that is obviously a violation!

The mastermind is really...

Xu Beijin sighed in his heart, and absently watching the pictures in the live broadcast room, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and his eyes became deep and gloomy.

Ringo suddenly turned to look at him.

He thought that Xu Beijin at this time... made him feel very powerful and unmatched.

Only Xu Bei can bring him this feeling.

However, Xu Beijin was unwilling to fight with him...

Ringo sighed silently, and continued to sit there idly in a daze.

In the bookstore, the two men both felt annoyed by each other's existence.

On the other side, the ponytail girl and the man in glasses walked out of the room with Wu Shen. Kong Jing also walked out of the next room blankly, empty-handed-he was still holding the letters just now, but as the nightmare scene changed, the letters suddenly disappeared.

Sister Mawei quickly explained the current situation to him. He also nodded, understood, and then looked at Wu Shen.

As if they were invisible ghosts, Wu Shen didn't look at them at all, and went straight to the studio, sat down, and began to make dolls seriously.

His conscientious look is worthy of his reputation as the owner of the doll shop.

The man in glasses went to the stairs and took a look. The first floor has also become a splendid doll shop, which will obviously attract the attention of children.

He tried to go downstairs, but seemed to be blocked by an air wall, and could only return reluctantly, waiting for Wu Shen's changes.

After a while, when the three taskers were a little impatient, suddenly...

"dad!"

A little girl's shout came from the first floor of the doll shop.

The voice was nothing special, it was like something happened to the daughter, so she called to her father. Not panicked, not afraid, not happy, not surprised.

Wu Shen, who was still working with his head down, suddenly returned to his senses, stood up and wiped his hands, and then replied, "What's wrong with Xiaochun? Dad is here."

He took off his work clothes, closed the door of the studio, and walked up the stairs, planning to go to the first floor of the doll shop to see what happened to his daughter.

Three ghostly taskers also followed him.

At this moment, the bright and welcoming scene on the second floor of the doll shop suddenly darkened like a power outage. When the light came back in faintly, the three taskers had already returned to the dirty and dilapidated doll shop.

Sister Mawei said in astonishment: "What's the matter? The memory is suddenly interrupted?!"
