Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Chapter 55: One try

Views:

Xu Beijin didn't have time to answer this question—though he couldn't figure out how to answer it either.

Outside the bookstore, several taskers saw Ringo's figure through the glass door, and then came over to join the boss. Inexplicably, staying near Ringo gave them a great sense of security.

Xu Bei looked funny, but in order to avoid being noticed by these taskers, he just paddled the water peacefully and had no intention of interacting with the taskers.

It was the taskers. After discussing quietly in the bookstore for a while, the thin man walked over to Xu Beijin and asked, "Boss, we just came out of the apartment building opposite. Did something happen there before? Alone? nothing."

Xu Beijin stood up and was about to speak, but gave a slight pause.

At this moment, the main brain NE sent him some information about this nightmare.

He reluctantly realized that even if he wanted to be a paddling group performer, when the tasker took the initiative to ask for information, he could only work hard to become a qualified toolman NPC.

So after a moment of silence, he answered very professionally: "Where did you just come from? Over there... something happened before. I thought no one would live there anymore."

He smiled imperceptibly, as if laughing at the innocence of this group of people.

The thin man couldn't help being silent for a moment. He looked at the resident of the narrow building in front of him with a new look.

Before communicating with the other party, he thought that the narrow-building resident just knew some information. But when he showed this mocking smile, the thin man couldn't help thinking more deeply.

Will he be the breaking point of this nightmare

Could he be... behind the scenes

He hides so close to Loko's apartment building, and even knows what happened in Loko's apartment. If he was just an ordinary NPC, would he know so much

In addition, the dangers in this nightmare are concentrated in electrical equipment, and this antique bookstore happens to have no electrical appliances. Could this be a coincidence? Or... What does it mean

The thin man looked deeply at the man in front of him.

When Ding Yi asked them to investigate the narrow-building resident whom Ringo had recently followed before entering the nightmare, the thin and the little girl disagreed.

Even when they realized that this narrow building resident was the bookstore owner who caused chaos on the bottom of the narrow building a few years ago, they still did not pay enough attention to this matter.

For one thing, the thin guy was on a higher floor at the time, and he had not personally experienced it. At that time, the taskers had a nightmare craze for Xu Bei; secondly, the little girl was also a relatively cold and steady personality, and was not caught by that kind of fanatical curiosity. The heart goes to the head.

What they cared more about was still Ringo's relationship with this man.

However, they did not expect to encounter Xu Beijin in a nightmare. No... I want to come too, this nightmare is the nightmare of this man's neighbor. He will appear in a nightmare, which is quite reasonable.

but…

The thin man looked at this mysterious man and thought, what is his identity in this nightmare

The residents of these narrow buildings always appear in different nightmares. Except for the owners of the nightmares, the other residents of the narrow buildings seem to have their own identities and different functions. The information they learned is different.

It seems... it's just that the game company is lazy, so the same NPC model is used to make these narrow-building residents run the same way in different nightmares.

The taskers would not have thought that the "running tricks" they thought of was actually someone running the tricks.

Some of these narrow-building residents who appear in other people's nightmares do not know anything, while others have important status. They may even be the core characters of the nightmare and the object of the nightmare owner's fear.

In this nightmare, the taskers have never found the owner of the nightmare. And this mysterious man who unexpectedly knew a lot of information in front of him became a particularly important figure in Thin Man's eyes.

Thinking of his slightly sarcasm smile just now, the thin man thought again, maybe... a character with a less upright stand

Xu Beijin didn't know it, but just because he smiled, he was deemed by the questers to be the villain again.

He just laughed at himself because of the fate of his tool man! Who wants to taunt these taskers! This is based on appearance!

What can he do? He has such a face, what can he do? He is also desperate...

Fortunately, he didn't know.

Xu Beijin, who didn’t know that his image was misunderstood as the BOSS in the nightmare, was still doing his best to spread science to the taskers about everything in the Loko apartment building: “In the past month, that apartment building has always been Something happened.

"It seems that some residents died, and then the residents went to court with the property. I heard that there was a problem with the facilities in the apartment, but I don't know exactly what it was.

"but… "

At this moment, Xu Beijin hesitated suddenly.

Because he realized a problem.

The main brain does not allow actors to disclose relevant information about "playing" to the outside world. This is an iron rule.

What about the actor's understanding of nightmares

The normal actor, after entering the nightmare, will only know the information about the nightmare that the mastermind told him. So they have nothing to disclose.

Another example is group performance. They come and go in different nightmares, but still can't understand anything.

Some group performers were afraid of being discovered by the task force, so they didn't even dare to leave their place. They could only huddle somewhere until the nightmare was over, and still didn't know anything.

This is Xu Beijin's daily group performance.

But now it's different. Xu Bei can see everything that is happening in the nightmare through the live broadcast room. Compared to other actors, he is almost an omniscient person.

In this case, can he inform the tasker of the nightmare information he has learned through the live broadcast room

Xu Bei didn't want to take risks, so he quickly searched through his memories, trying to find any similar situations.

Then he remembered that Dai Wu had once told him, "Be careful behind."

If what Dai Wu said is right, even though his level is a supporting role, but in this nightmare, he is only a group performer, it means that the main brain also did not give him any information about this nightmare.

However, he said to Xu Beijin the words "be careful behind". The source of the information is unknown. It may have been heard from the owner of the nightmare, or it may have been the experience of the taskers that he had watched when he played in this nightmare.

Regardless, this means that, in addition to the information provided by the main brain to the actors, the actors can also reveal other information about the nightmare they know.

Xu Bei felt suddenly enlightened... In this way, the operating space is much larger!

He has always known that taskers will misunderstand him because of his image, thinking that he is a very important member of the nightmare. This was the case with the previous two nightmares.

But his family knows his own family affairs, he is a group performer, the main brain will not take the initiative to provide him with nightmare information beyond this level.

In this case, when he exposed his lack of understanding of nightmares, the taskers naturally knew that he was not an important character, just a good-looking face.

But the situation is different now. Even if his level is still only a group show, he can still try to make some changes based on the information learned in the live broadcast room! Even take the initiative to guide the ending of the nightmare!

He thought that he might have been acting as a group for too long, and he has completely forgotten, information—what a precious thing this is!

If he clicked on the taskers at this time, for example, hinting at their network problems, then the taskers would definitely get through and think of the inside story about this nightmare every minute.

And expect that the muscular man who knows this information can be frank with other taskers

It would be better to count on Xu Bei to do this fake villain.

At least Xu Beijin is really a good person.

Doing this may not make sense in itself. Without being able to reveal the identity of the actor, Xu Beijin is still powerless to deal with the chaos in the narrow building.

However, resisting NE is a happy thing!

For some actors, the light and fluttering words "Down with NE" in Dai Wu's mouth are a goal that really makes them gritted their teeth and dreams.

Xu Beijin may not have such a heavy goal, but wherever he can, he will help the tasker a little and easily disrupt NE's settings and layout for nightmares...

Then he would be very happy!

Xu Bei thought about the silence for too long, so the thin man asked suspiciously: "But what?"

Xu Bei returned to his senses, smiled apologetically, and then said: "However, the same thing happened here." He decided to reply according to the information given by the main brain, "I have seen it before, elevator door clip Lived in one person, and then continued to run upwards, and finally... ”

The taskers frowned.

Subsequently, Xu Beijin joined some of his own private goods: "So I slowly cleared out some electrical appliances and furniture in the bookstore." He said without changing his face, "This is what happened. thing."

The thin man's eyes lit up: "Do you know the source of the problem, boss?"

Xu Bei hesitated for a while, then shook his head.

In the eyes of Thin Man, this hesitation means that Xu Beijin really knows, but he is uncertain, or unwilling to say. Or... Is this man the culprit

He locked himself in this place without dangerous electrical furniture...

The thin man squinted his eyes slightly, and then asked, "Boss, can't you really tell us? We were chased by the elevator in the commercial area and we didn't even know how to get out of here."

Sister Jiang realized something, and immediately said, "Yes, this series of encounters is too inexplicable. Boss, if you know anything, just tell us. We have all been chased by those things, and we should have the right to know. The truth, right?"

The little girl even said coldly: "If you conceal the truth, what's the difference between being a tiger?"

Xu Bei hesitated for a moment, and was about to say it. Suddenly, a figure flashed by the counter.

Ringo said uncomfortably, "Is there a begging attitude like yours? How come Beijin must know the truth?" He looked at Xu Beijin again, "You have a very good temper!"

Taskers: "..."

Xu Beijin: "..."

The audience in the live broadcast room: "Hahahaha I knew it! I knew that Little Apple was on the north side!"

"Little Apple is so handsome! The attitude of these taskers to ask Beibei is too arrogant!"

"They only treat Beibei as the NPC of the game. Of course, it's bullying and kidnapping."

"I think they are preconceived and believe that Beibei is not a good person..."

"To be honest, I think so too... But Beibei is actually such a gentle and harmless good person."

Xu Beijin: "..."

He didn't think he was so gentle or harmless.

He took a deep breath, patted Ringo on the shoulder, and whispered, "Thank you." He looked at the taskers, "I can tell you, but it's not my duty."

The taskers wanted to ask him what he knew. Xu Beijin thought it was nothing. Anyway, he has become accustomed to the rude attitude of the taskers towards the residents of the narrow building.

After all, for the tasker, he is just a game NPC, isn't he

But Lino's actions to defend him made Xu Beijin both moved and funny. He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to need to be so proactive and friendly... You can't let your loved ones hurt your enemies, right

Lino's presence made these taskers who are bullying and fearful of hard work suddenly bewildered, and Xu Beijin's words made them even more at a loss.

What the hell... Isn't the resident of the narrow building the NPC of the game? The mastermind is crazy

Ringo stood aside with arms folded, his eyes awe-inspiring, like Xu Bei's loyal guardian.

The thin man was speechless for a while. It suddenly occurred to him that Ding Yi asked them to investigate the relationship between Ringo and Xu Beijin. It was really... a target. He glanced at Ringo without a trace, and then at Xu Beijin.

Suddenly, a thought jumped into his brain.

He had never seen a task force so diligent to the residents of the narrow buildings, especially the self-esteem of the residents of the narrow buildings.

Apart from…

Except for those who are crazy and want to fall in love with the residents of the narrow building.

Thin: "..."

He looked at Ringo again and at Xu Beijin again.

He thought, isn't it... He knows the secret of the boss, will he not be killed by the boss

The thin man was in a trance.

He didn't speak, and Sister Jiang was still at a loss. The little girl said logically, "Sorry, we are just too anxious." The little girl with a cold expression tried her best to show a friendly smile, "We have just been chased by those things. …A bit frightened."

This is not a lie, Xu Beijin has just seen the whole process of their escape to the negative level, it is indeed very thrilling and weird. The sudden activation of the items that are used in daily life, the psychological pressure caused to these taskers is obviously very huge.

Thinzi and Sister Jiang also reacted quickly, apologized quickly, and looked at Xu Beijin eagerly.

Xu Bei's different attitude made Xu Bei unconsciously glance at Ringo, and then responded with a little smile: "This is just a guess of mine..." He said something vaguely, "So, I Did not install the Internet in the bookstore."

When he said this, although he seemed casual on the surface, in fact, he felt very nervous and uneasy. He was afraid that just because of this attempt, he would be targeted by NE. He has always avoided this.

He took a little risk... But he thought again, after acquiring the live broadcast system, would he still stick to his otherwise dead life? The situation has changed, whether he wants it or not.

The mere live broadcast of the matter itself has already brought ups and downs in his life.

He could vaguely feel that a strange undercurrent was sweeping across the narrow building.

Mu Jiashi returned to the bottom of the narrow building, Ding Yi chose to go to a higher floor after many years, and... Ringo. I don't know why Ringo lost the memory of the earth.

Xu Beijin has escaped for many years, just like other actors, because of his own powerlessness. And now, he wants to make some efforts... some changes.

When he realized that the live broadcast system actually provided him with a channel to connect with the outside world, he had already sensed the arrival of the opportunity. Inertia and guard against NE delayed him for a while, allowing him to observe the situation and the audience's feedback more carefully.

And after he tried to reveal the information he got through the live broadcast system, but was not forbidden by the mastermind, but said it smoothly, Xu Beizuo was immediately certain in his heart.

So, there was a faint calmness in his tone: "That's it."

At this time, the taskers had no time to take care of his tone of voice.

The thin man said in surprise: "Network...? Network?!"

He glanced at each other with the little girl. After being surprised, he instantly understood the answers to the previous doubts.

Sister Jiang whispered: "So... we should destroy the internet in the apartment... power off?"

"Maybe it's a way," the thin man said in a deep voice, "but it may not be the end."

Sister Jiang said: "It doesn't have to be the real ending now." Faced with the surprised eyes of the thin man and the little girl, she said, "Now we have collected enough information to make a normal ending. Let's leave the nightmare first, and then Try to get the real ending... Isn’t it safer?"

The thin man and the little girl were speechless for a while.

This is actually the SL Dafa of many human players: save the file to keep it safe, read the file and start again.

Many taskers do this, but it's rare to say it seriously like Sister Jiang. However, Sister Jiang and Sister Jiang had been using this method to clear the nightmare for many years.

They know that this method has drawbacks, it may develop inertia, and it may make them hesitate and hesitate at the moment of life and death. However, the two sisters who have been walking around on the ground floor of the narrow building and the slightly higher floors can't think of any other more effective way.

At least they must ensure that they will not get lost in the nightmare of eternal collapse.

In fact, the thin guy and the little girl don't want to have a real ending now. They entered this nightmare by mistake, so they hope to leave early and return to the bottom of the narrow building to complete their unfinished work.

And... The thin man glanced at Xu Beijin and Ringo without a trace. He thought, this time he entered a nightmare, but he also collected more information.

The thin man said: "In this case, shall we reach an ordinary ending as soon as possible and then leave?"

Sister Jiang nodded immediately.

The Thin Man looked at the others again, and after the others nodded and Ringo also shrugged and said that it didn't matter, the Thin Man was also relieved. He said: "In this case, why don't we go back to the apartment building and try the power-off method?"

Several people nodded. Subsequently, the five taskers left the bookstore.

Xu Beijin took a look at the live broadcast system, but suddenly found that the muscle man had left room 807 and was dangling in the hallway on the eighth floor.

Xu Bei was curious all the time. How did the muscular man leave the apartment? Because I didn't find the item card

It took a while for the thin group of people to return to the Loko apartment building from the business district, so Xu Beijin turned the live broadcast perspective to the side of the muscular man.

The audience in the live broadcast room was caught off guard: "Ah! The North Director is working!"

"The North Director is good! The North Director is also working hard to direct today!"

"Every time I look at Beibei and change my perspective, I have a strong sense of seeing that I am watching a TV series..."

"By the way, this live broadcast has been going on for more than three hours... I didn't feel the time has passed at all..."

"Because Beibei is handsome!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

Can any problem be easily solved because he is handsome

It would be great if this is the case...

He sighed secretly, supported his chin, and focused his gaze on the screen of the live broadcast room.

The muscular man was waiting angrily for the elevator.

Other taskers know that elevators in apartment buildings and commercial areas are very dangerous. Except for the elevator that likes to joke and complain, the rest of the elevators are more or less suspicious.

At this time, the muscular man did not wait for the essentially harmless elevator, and he didn't know that there were some problems with the elevator.

He should be cautious, but he didn't. The item card "Devil's Mask" matches his rugged and arrogant nature, making him more casual and sloppy. In nightmares, this is often fatal.

Perhaps once he was hiding his identity as a card dealer, other taskers would take him to fly with him. But this time, the rest of the taskers had already exiled his card dealer, so he really didn't know anything about this nightmare, and he didn't bother to explore it.

Therefore, when the elevator reached the eighth floor, he walked in carelessly and pressed down to the first floor.

He still didn't give up, wanting to get back the two item cards of "his".

In the letter of complaint that he and Shen Yun found in the security room on the first floor, it was clearly stated that the resident on the eighth floor encountered an accident when the elevator suddenly fell when he took the elevator downstairs. He didn't think of it.

Not only did he fail to remember, when the elevator suddenly fell like in the complaint letter, he even yelled in panic, kicked the elevator hard, and slapped the elevator door, as if it could stop the elevator.

Sudden!

The elevator really stopped, and the elevator doors opened automatically.

The muscular man panicked, slumped on the ground, and subconsciously wanted to leave the elevator. He was panting, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He quickly crawled out of the elevator with hands and feet.

He found that the elevator had stopped in the middle of an unknown floor, and only a small part of the exit was exposed, just below the elevator door. He stretched out his head tentatively, arched himself with his shoulders, trying to get himself out of this damn elevator.

Then he got stuck.

Then, the elevator started moving again.

Then, he watched his head quickly and in horror, approaching the ground.

Bang, bang—

… Xu Bei cut the picture subconsciously.

The screen suddenly turns black—the nightmare restarts.

Audiences:"… "

"... You have seen watermelons... forget it."

"This nightmare, I originally thought it was only in the category of horror and supernatural. I didn't expect it to be bloody... vomit."

"I suddenly felt bad. This man is not a good person. He died once now. In the next nightmare, he won't have to be chased by the furniture... I feel a little unhappy."

This view was recognized by the rest of the audience, but Xu Beijin did not speak out.

The audience in the live broadcast room did not know that the death of the players in the narrow building meant a real experience of death. Although Xu Beijin hadn't tried it himself, he could still imagine the horror.

If death is a punishment...

Xu Bei sighed secretly, he no longer thought about these annoying things.

The nightmare restarted again, and another hour of waiting time. He glanced at the list on the right side of the live broadcast system, thinking about which perspective to focus on... Or a small screen for each of the seven taskers

However, looking at it, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He carefully counted the number of names of taskers that followed behind the scene list on the right.

one two three four five six

… Six names

Xu Beijin was taken aback for a moment.

… The muscular man who died in the last nightmare is gone!
