Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Chapter 5: A diary

Views:

Walking up the second floor through the stairs, the first thing I saw was a long, dark and opaque corridor.

The walls are painted with warm brown paint, but it is a pity that they are mottled over time, adding a heaviness. The corners of the ceiling and the floor were full of dust and cobwebs, and the floor that had been in disrepair was creaking.

There are two doors on each side of the corridor, and at the end is a hanging painting on the ground. It seems to be a doll in the painting, but the once bright colors have also been covered by dust, and it has long been unclear.

One of the four doors was open, and on the left hand side after the man in glasses went upstairs was the bathroom. He just glanced at it, and temporarily ignored the room, because there was a foul smell in it, the smell of human intestinal feces.

If he can, he doesn't want to go to the bathroom to find eyes.

He looked at the other three doors.

These three doors did not seem to be different, and each one was tightly locked.

He looked at the girl doll again, only to find that the doll's small eyes were staring straight at one of the doors. He looked over and found that it was the door directly opposite the bathroom.

The man with glasses thought for a while, gritted his teeth, walked over and put his hand on the doorknob.

The brass doorknob made him tremble with freezing. He moved his stiff fingers and slowly applied force until the doorknob was pressed by him to the point that he couldn't move it.

The girl doll stood quietly behind him, tilted her head and looked at him.

The man in glasses had trembling lips and a chill on his back. Obviously just opened a door... Obviously just opened a door!

With a violent force, he directly pushed the door open.

Obviously the weather-beaten door made an unbearable creak, but fortunately, it did not wake up the man lying inside.

Yes, there is a man lying in the door.

The man with glasses widened his eyes in surprise, and he glanced quickly at the situation in the room.

This is a bedroom, the area is not big, maybe only seven or eight square meters. In a small space, there is nothing but a bed, a wardrobe, and a small table.

The curtains were drawn and the room was very dim. Just opening this door, a filthy stench filled the air. The man was lying on the bed with his back facing the man with glasses, breathing smoothly, and seemed to have fallen asleep. Even though the man with glasses made a sound when he opened the door, he failed to wake up the man.

The eye of the man in spectacles patrolled the room, and suddenly, he stopped abruptly.

On the only small table in the bedroom, there is a book like a diary!

The man with glasses is ecstatic, he has to take a step directly and get it...

At this moment, the girl doll said: "Five minutes, here it is."

The man with glasses froze immediately. He turned around and said incoherently to the girl doll: "No, no, no... Wait a minute, it's just a while, I only need a little time... No! No!!!"

The doll tilted his head and said aggrieved: "Eyes. You lied to me... You didn't find it."

She took a step closer to him and at the same time raised her thin arms.

The doll's arms are like that, smooth, bright, and round, like human skin, but pale. Now, that arm slowly reached into his eye socket, so the sticky blood flowed out, leaving blood marks on her skin.

The girl doll raised her head, as if watching a dream she had longed for and fantasized about, eagerly. But those eyes disappointed her. The eyeballs behind the glasses were protruding and widening, and the pupils were dilated and filled with painful bloodshot eyes.

She threw these two eyeballs to the ground and murmured softly, "No... I don't like this anymore."

Mawei sister and Kong Jing just caught up to the second floor at this time.

The girl doll tilted her head and looked at them. Her red dress mixed with the blood of the man with glasses. The man with spectacles covered his face, and blood flowed out of his eye sockets and flowed out along his fingers. There was a giggle of pain in his mouth, but no one paid attention to him at this time.

The ponytail girl looked at the doll warily, while Kung Jing looked back and forth between her and him.

The glass beads in the girl's doll's eyes shone straight, and she whispered: "Two pairs... new eyes!"

It's like meeting a little girl who likes toys, innocent and brilliant. It would be great if there were not two eyeballs on the ground that she disliked terribly.

The next moment, the nightmare restarted.

On the first floor of the doll shop, the four taskers opened their eyes again.

Ringo was still lazy and not interested in anything.

The other three people, as soon as they opened their eyes, looked at the display cabinet in the window, and looked at the girl doll in the red dress.

The man in glasses couldn't help shaking, and felt his eyes hurt again.

He subconsciously touched his eyes and confirmed that the eyeballs were still in their sockets, and then he was relieved.

In "Escape from the Sky", the taskers do not die, or in other words, they will not die forever. After all, as long as one tasker dies, the nightmare will automatically restart, and the dead tasker will be resurrected.

Sometimes this thing is quite daunting.

On the one hand, although it will indeed be resurrected, the pain and despair of death still remain in the hearts of the taskers. Is there really a human being used to death? That should be abnormal.

On the other hand, with the death and resurrection, the nightmare will continue to restart, the difficulty will continue to rise, and it will become more and more easy to die. If you end up lost in such death, despair and madness, then you will always sink into an endless nightmare, and you will never be able to leave.

There were a lot of questers, after entering the nightmare, they never came out again.

They all knew that these taskers did not die. They are just trapped by nightmares.

Forever, trapped.

Therefore, the man with glasses took off his glasses and stroked his eyes unconsciously, as if telling himself that you are alive again, this is reality. Just forget about the death just now.

If you keep thinking about it, maybe you will sink into such a nightmare and keep recurring your own death.

Kong Jing glanced at him, mockingly said: "This is not working?"

The man with glasses said nothing, and then he said: "We need to cooperate."

After dying once, he seemed to become more steadfast.

The scene of the previous death was still replaying in his mind, which was really annoying, but it also reminded him of some details.

After his eyes were taken by the girl's doll, in the darkness, he heard the creaking noise of the second floor corridor floor after being stepped on, that is to say, someone came to the second floor at that time.

Ringo was unlikely, so there were only two people, Mawei Meizi and Kong Jing, who had returned from the bookstore. They have discovered the secret of the second floor.

Then cooperation is imperative.

Putting aside other things, even if they didn't cooperate, the man and the woman were originally in the same group, they would still go to the second floor of the doll shop to explore, it would be better for the glasses man to propose it himself.

Anyway, in the end, if they work together to solve this nightmare and reach the true ending, all the taskers in the entire dungeon will go to a higher floor together, looking for the real possibility of escape, rather than a single tasker alone. Go.

This also laid a good foundation for the cooperation of taskers.

The man with glasses can only hate himself for being too cautious, and he did not choose to enter the dungeon alone.

Now Ringo is taking care of her alone, the ponytail girl and Gang Jing hug together to keep warm, but he has to actively seek cooperation.

The man in glasses clenched his fist secretly, but calmly gave out his bargaining chip: "There is a man sleeping on the second floor, and there is a diary in the room."

Sister Mawei's eyes lit up, just as she wanted to ask more, the first wave of dolls had already gathered slowly, and then rushed towards them.

Sister Mawei can only say hurriedly: "Okay, cooperate!"

This is the fourth time the nightmare has started. The first and second times were given away for nothing, which made these three people quite resentful. In the third time, they finally found some clues, but they didn't really get it.

Now for the fourth time, the chasing of the dolls is about to gradually increase the difficulty.

Time has not changed, but the speed of the dolls has become a bit faster. They could easily be thrown off by running a circle outside on the street, but now they have to speed up and pay attention to the use of roadblocks to block some of the dolls. .

In the first wave of hunting, the dolls chose the glasses girl.

And the glasses girl ran out without saying a word, the glasses man and Kong Jing stared at them with big eyes. Ringo also turned and left, no one dared to ask his whereabouts.

In fact, Ringo was not interested in this nightmare, so he went to the bookstore again, trying to find Xu Bei to fight.

Xu Beijin: "..."

He straightened his face and tried to make himself look unkind. He said, "I have already rejected it."

"The last time was the last time." Ringo said, "Now I am looking for you again."

Xu Beijin: "..."

But you can't bear it, and you have learned sophistry!

Xu Beijin rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, and then rightly refused again: "I don't want to fight with you."

Ringo sat down again unhappy.

There was an awkward silence between the two.

Xu Bei was so exhausted that he could only watch the live broadcast instead of seeing the heart, watching the thrilling tour of the doll shop by the other three questers remotely.

Just now, the extremely flavorful girl's dolls cut their eye sockets on the spot, causing a turmoil in the live broadcast room.

It seems that these few viewers have not seen such a straightforward and bloody scene for a long time, and they immediately swiped the screen, panicking, making Xu Bei, who was also a little uncomfortable, amused for a while.

Up to now, the barrage has not stopped, and the only three viewers in the live broadcast room seem to have been chatting.

Xu Beijin watched them chat while watching the situation of the other taskers.

Sister Mawei dumped the first wave of doll hunts. After returning to the doll shop, the few people did not waste time and went directly to the second floor of the doll shop.

They discussed who would open the secret door, which may determine the goal of the girl's doll. While the man with glasses paid for the information he had obtained on the second floor when working with him, the ponytail girl also reciprocated, and let Kong Jing deal with the girl's dolls.

Sure enough, when Kong Jing pushed open the boxes, the girl doll also walked out of her window.

This beautiful and delicate-looking doll followed them, and it really shocked the three of them.

But they all knew that there were still five minutes before the doll went mad, so they all seized the time and went to find the diary first.

About thirty seconds later, Sister Mawei pushed open the bedroom door on the second floor, glanced at the sleeping man with her back facing them, walked quickly to the small table and picked up the diary.

The diary is about the palm of the hand, the corners are a little damaged, the cover is black, and it has a special greasy feel to the touch, which makes the ponytail girl a little disgusted.

But time is running out, she has no time to think so much, with a trace of tension and anxiety, quickly flipping through this thin diary.

The first sentence that came into view was: "Xiaochun has been missing for three days!"
