Fei said in surprise, "Why did the nightmare restart inexplicably?"
"Death is not the restart condition of this nightmare." Mu Jiashi said slowly, "and we have not lost our memory..."
The bald head frowned and said, "No, the scene of the last nightmare has changed. Maybe death has become a condition for the restart of the nightmare?"
Mu Jiashi nodded: "You are right. In this case..." He hesitated, "Playground?"
On the whole, they did not go to the playground in the last nightmare. If after the nightmare changes, the situation on the playground has also changed, then they don't know.
Thinking about it, Mu Jiashi couldn't help but feel a little upset: "Last nightmare, we should go to the playground..."
Fei whispered, "It's no use thinking about it now."
The collector looked at Mujiashi, and then at Fei.
Mu Jiashi fell into a dull mood. For a short time, he didn't say a word, and he didn't know what to say. He seems to have made a mistake in the nightmare again, just like the previous nightmare.
However, people always fail.
… He once encountered a tragic failure on the higher floors of the narrow building, and since then, he is like a bird of fright. But sometimes, it is difficult for him to say whether his mentality was affected by that failure, or just because...
He wanted to escape some terrible and daunting truths.
So, in his silence, Fei asked tentatively: "In this case... uh, what should we do now?"
The bald head glanced at Mu Jiashi, and then said: "This is the third round of nightmare. The fog has not dissipated, indicating that the nightmare has not collapsed. Are we going to take the initiative to change the nightmare? We did not explore enough in the last round. information… "
No, it should be said that they did know a lot of things, but after knowing the existence of the book, they failed to convert the clues into clear information in the first place.
They didn’t know what was hidden behind the rolling door. They didn’t know the relationship between the man who walked into the mist and the deceased who fell from the building. They didn’t know why the deceased and the murderer were so mysterious, they do not know either…
Why did the last nightmare restart
Mu Jiashi took a deep breath, and subconsciously raised his hand, then he remembered that the nightmare had restarted and that the book was no longer in his hands.
He said: "I think that in the nightmare, other residents of the narrow building may have some information, not just the bookstore owner. About the deceased, about the author who wrote the enemy into the novel... I'm afraid there is also We don’t know some of the stories behind it."
Fei nodded and agreed with his thoughts: "So, let's go to the playground now?"
The collector murmured: "Where is the playground?"
Wu Jian's eyes are also full of confusion.
In fact, Huabi doesn't remember it anymore, but because he had this nightmare, he is still relatively calm now, but he still mutters to himself in a low voice: "What the hell is this, what round of nightmare is this? I don’t know what happened before..."
Fei is the same, she still remembers some of the things that happened in the previous two rounds of nightmares, but she knows the information more than she really thinks she has experienced something.
She felt somewhat awkward, because it sounded like something she had experienced and done, but she had no impression of it herself. The only thing that was impressed was that Mu Jiashi told her what she had done.
and…
She can't remember why the fog dissipated in the last nightmare. This put some heavy pressure in her heart again. Conspiracy theories about doomsday, memory, narrow buildings, etc., once again stirred up in her mind.
She subconsciously glanced at it, and found that the other person's expression was also very worried.
So while the six people were on their way to the playground, she whispered to Wu Jian, "Perhaps we can have this nightmare again next time."
Wu Jian looked up at her.
Fei's voice trembled slightly, and she tried to keep herself calm, but there was still an invisible fear and anxiety over her.
People in their organization are always too sensitive and neurotic, and this may be the reason why they always make such bold speculations.
She said: "We have all forgotten the experience in this nightmare. If we come again next time, the situation may be much better."
But Wu Jian glumly said: "But, what if we keep forgetting?" A trace of anxiety and fright flashed in his eyes, "If NE is to keep us... forgetting?"
He didn't dare to say too clearly, but he knew Fei could understand what he meant.
They are stuck here. Human beings are trapped in this ruined narrow building. They seem to be able to escape, at least there are some rumors that someone has successfully left the narrow building.
But no one knows whether it is true or not.
Under the premise that NE can control and delete human memory, what if the task force who completely cleared the level was actually deleted by the NE and reposted back to the narrow building
What if... If they, these taskers, these human beings, just like the man who walked into the mist in this nightmare, are constantly doing some useless work
They were just going around in countless nightmares, and this infinite loop of speculation seemed to have confirmed their experience invisibly.
… They don’t know if anyone has really left the narrow building, just as they don’t know what happened to the human beings who were sinking into the nightmare of eternal collapse.
They don't know anything. And even if you know it, is it a relief
Those zombies, those fallen mission workers, they don't want to know the truth, they just want to deceive themselves and live well... at least to live. They resist the truth.
And does the aloof NE allow them to explore the secrets behind the narrow buildings
Fei's eyes also flashed some anxiety and bitter emotions. She happily said: "At least, when we talked about these topics, NE didn't jump out and let us shut up."
Wu Jian also smiled helplessly.
Xu Beijin at this time: "..."
Yeah, NE didn't let you shut up. But the live broadcast was interrupted again!
He thought to himself that it was fortunate that his live broadcast was not very popular. There were only three or two cats in the audience. Even if the source of the picture is cut off, it is estimated that the audience will just silently check and leave...
But he just feels inexplicably angry.
It’s not just because the live broadcast system cut off the source of the picture, it’s also a...
An urgent, resentful, repressive, painful...
He thought, do you know what it is? Do you know the truth behind it? You don't know anything, and you are still trying to let yourself know
And if you really know it, would you wish you never knew it
Xu Bei sat there expressionlessly, the gloomy weather outside the window dimmed the light in the bookstore. He felt his brain also sinking into a kind of gloomy haze.
He suppressed his emotions, which he has always been like for many years. But in this nightmare, when the live broadcast system was forced to cut off the source of the picture twice, he suddenly felt a sudden explosion of emotions.
He was in a daze for a moment, and he felt as if he was judging himself at the moment from aloft.
You see, the face is so pale, the dark circles under the eyes are so heavy, the white shirt is so pale... Oh, and the hair, which is turned up in a mess. This is really a raunchy man. What kind of life has he led for so many years
He seemed to be struggling with the memories that had been burnt to ashes in countless lonely and desperate nights, sober, or half-dreaming and half-awake.
… fire.
He suddenly thought, do they really want to know the truth
There is such a nightmare...
With feelings of disgust or pity, Xu Beijin's lips twitched slightly. He seemed to smile.
In the dim bookstore, the light projected from the window illuminates his face indefinitely. He was hesitating, and the result of his hesitation was...
He said to himself: "Where does the actor live?"
Some people want to know the truth. For so many years, Xu Bei completely ignored the actions of those people. He has always known the conspiracy theories circulating in the narrow buildings, or other rules and information that have become iron laws.
But he turned a blind eye, turned a deaf ear, and confined himself to sleepless night after night.
The arrival of the live broadcast system opened a window for him... No, a seam. That's it.
Only he himself can get him out of those nights, those memories, those pasts, those things that he will never forget, but have been buried slowly by him.
He thought, someone wanted to know the truth... Then maybe he could let them know.
He laughed involuntarily.
At that moment, what he thought was that in a nightmare, Ringo said to him-if you don't want to laugh, you don't need to laugh.
Xu Beijin lowered his eyes, stroked the corners of his lips, and slowly flattened the bitter arc. He thought blankly, yes, when you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh.
He closed his eyes, feeling dryness and soreness in his eye sockets.
He calmed down slowly, and those emotions that were boiling like boiling water gurgling and bubbling, were once again firmly suppressed by him. A powerless self-deprecating and self-loathing arose in his heart.
However, that possibility is indeed deeply imprinted in his mind.
-Let those taskers who seek the truth know the truth.
He may not be able to open his nightmares right away, he hasn't made up his mind yet, but... he knows some nightmares. Those nightmares are far more clear than the nightmare they are now in, suggesting the so-called "truth".
He considers whether this approach is reasonable and whether it should be.
In the final analysis, it was simply because he suddenly realized-could he really rot silently at the bottom of a narrow building in despair and loneliness? Can he really sit back and watch
He can't do it.
Not only because of his character, but more importantly, it is visible to the naked eye, eternal collapse and pain. He can persist for one year, two years, five years and ten years, but can he persist forever
Because of the lack of sleep, he has been in a daze and unconsciously for a long time, and he feels sleepy and tired. Maybe it was just psychological pressure, and it was about to crush him.
He is not a god, he is a man. People have limits.
At that moment, Xu Bei could not say what he thought of. Perhaps he simply made up a resolution—he thought, it's time to make a change.
His eyes were on the screen of the live broadcast room.
He doesn't know too many taskers, it is better to say that the circle of the actors and the taskers do not overlap. The quest person he was most familiar with was of course Ringo, but Ringo's own situation was also a little strange.
Ringo lost the memory of the earth, and also possessed a strange bug-level force value... Xu Beijin had speculations and doubts about his situation.
In any case, it is a risk to involve Ringo, and Xu Bei wonders if Ringo has any interest in the so-called "truth". His world seems too simple.
Therefore, Xu Beijin looked at another familiar tasker: Mu Jiashi. In addition, in this nightmare, there are mentions of doomsday, memory, fog, and so on.
Xu Beijin's eyes flickered, and he couldn't make up his mind.
In fact, Mu Jiashi had already been to that nightmare, Xu Beijin suddenly thought of it. Although, Mujiashi may not clearly realize what the nightmare symbolized.
At this time, the taskers didn't know that at the other end of the nightmare scene, there was a actor who was eager to make some changes.
They came to the vicinity of the playground, and really met a survivor who was walking strangely.
That is Dai Wu.
Xu Beijin almost unsurprisingly saw the appearance of Dai Wu on the screen of the live broadcast room.
Judging from Dai Wu's performance in the first round of nightmares, the identity of this actor in this nightmare is very special. Xu Beijin suspects that he is another supporting role.
But... The strange thing is, why does he keep appearing in the nightmare on the ground floor of the narrow building
Xu Bei stroked his chin thoughtfully.
At this time, the live broadcast room was reopened to the outside world, and Xu Bei reluctantly explained what had happened to the audience again, using the same excuse. However, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room is still slightly condensed.
Xu Bei was unconsciously a little pessimistic, thinking that this group of viewers might be taken away.
But immediately, he was slightly taken aback.
"Uuuu Beibei, I thought I couldn't see you anymore."
"North! As long as you are still live streaming, I will never leave it!"
"My bei, you can have a snack, stop broadcasting those things that will be blocked, do you understand
"Yes. Although the reasoning guy is very interested in the truth, I actually just want to lick Beibei's handsome face! [Shy]"
"North North Mua!"
Xu Bei lowered his eyes embarrassedly, and said softly "thank you". He felt the kindness and concern of these audiences, which made him slowly walk out of the frozen state just now.
He thought helplessly, if Ringo was there, then he would definitely say he was thinking too much.
… No, why does he always think of Ringo.
Xu Bei made a secret reflection. After this was over, he went to watch the footage in the live broadcast room and found that the taskers had already talked to Dai Wu.
The taskers met Dai Wu's on the east side of the playground, when he was walking towards the building. Xu Beijian looked in this direction, and he probably knew that Dai Wumay came to Xu Beijin to let him return to the playground after the execution of the fall on the side of the building was over.
However, according to his route, in the first round, he shouldn't arrive at the bookstore so late...
Xu Bei pondered for a while, and then realized that it was because of the task force.
At that time, the taskers appeared near the execution site, and then went to the bookstore to talk to Xu Beijin. For the sake of secrecy and concealment, Dai Wu could only wait for the missioners to leave before coming to Xu Beijin.
In the third round of nightmare, he was directly stopped by the task force.
Compared with the ragged clothes of other survivors, wearing no-body dress is very decent. It is precisely because of this that the taskers can immediately discover his specialness in the ruins.
Mu Jiashi said softly: "He may be the top of the group of people in the playground...? But why does he appear here?"
Soon after, they stopped Dai Wu.
Dai Wu showed a look of alert and anxiety, and immediately said: "Who are you? What do you want to do? This ruin is not a place where you can do whatever you want!"
Jiashi Mu and Fei looked at each other, and then Jiashi Mu thoughtfully said: "We know that soon someone will fall from the roof of that tall building..."
Dai Wu's face changed.
"We heard that it was a punishment." Mu Jiashi said, "but what did he do?"
He was actually talking, but Dai Wu's performance confirmed that the death of the deceased did have some strange and special aspects.
Dai Wu was silent for a moment, and then said, "If I don't say anything, can you let me leave?" His eyes turned on his strong bald head and floral arms, then looked at the others, and finally confessed his fate. Said, "It doesn't seem to work."
The bald head and the flower arm stood silently on the left and right sides of Dai Wu's, beware of him escaping.
But Dai was unsurprisingly safe. He just gave a wry smile: "Please, I will answer the question."
"So, why on earth?"
"We... We will conduct a'heresy' trial once a week. Survivors who are identified as'heretics' will be executed." Dai Wuzhi pointed to the building, "Usually it is to jump from that building. Come down."
"So what about the man who is about to die? What did he commit?"
"He..." Dai Wu hesitated.
The bald head frowned and began to move his fists.
Dai Wusan said immediately: "Don't worry, don't worry. I'm just... I just want to say." He paused, and then said, "Our belief is self-denial, tolerance, and temperance, but he...
"On one occasion, something happened when he went out looking for food. We will arrange a fixed team to go out to search for food at intervals. Then that time... his food seemed to be taken by other survivors. .
"Then... Then he started to hate that person crazily. He felt that we would not avenge him, but in fact we didn't even know who the survivor was who took his food.
"After that, his extreme and craziness intensified. He began to feel that we also wanted to take his food, and even scolded us for beating, smashing and looting..."
The expressions of the taskers are slightly weird. They thought to themselves, aren't you
Dai Wu didn't know what the taskers were thinking, he just showed a slight expression of disgust and rejection: "He is really... a bit too much.
"He said that he was writing a novel, and he wanted to write every disliked person in the novel, torturing him, for fun. At that time, we didn't think there was anything.
"But he wrote the novel and included the magic, as if he regarded the virtual work as real, which became more and more weird and disturbing. So... we finally decided to expel him as a'heresy'."
When they heard that the deceased was torturing his enemies in the novel, the expressions of the taskers changed slightly, thinking of some possibilities. But then, they couldn't help being shocked.
Mu Jiashi couldn't help asking: "Just because of this, you decided to execute him?"
"In the beginning it was just expelled, but he was unwilling and even wanted to attack us. Therefore, it became execution." Dai Wu said frankly, "He has become an'impurity'."
There was a burst of ridiculousness and comicality in the minds of the taskers.
Whether it's the dead person, the survivors in the playground, or the enemy who says it's not good to be implicated or deserved... everything seems extraordinarily distorted and incredible.
In the end, a food snatch from a chance encounter resulted in such a strange and weird dream.
Dai Wu said, "Okay, I'm done. Can you let me go?"
He stared at these taskers with a vigilant look.
Mu Jiashi asked again: "Then what are you going to do now?"
Dai Wu said, "Go collect that guy's body." He paused, "Also, let the people in the bookstore come back and change guards."
Mu Jiashi was startled, is this still related to the bookstore owner
"You know there is a book in the bookstore..." After speaking, Mu Jiashi stopped suddenly, and he felt that something was wrong. "You just said that that person is still writing a novel? Has he finished?"
Dai Wu frowned: "I don't know. It should be... I haven't finished writing. It's just something that happened some time ago. He only started to rant about writing novels a few days ago."
Not finished
Mu Jiashi's expression changed slightly: "I haven't finished writing... Why is there a complete novel in the bookstore?"
"What complete novel?" Dai Wu said inexplicably, "What are you talking about?"
Fei also understood, her face changed slightly, and she hesitated and said, "Is it because this is a dreamland that automatically generates a complete novel?"
"No... I mean..." Mu Jiashi said, "Dreamland... Yes, this is indeed a dreamland. But its logic is also internal."
Fei didn't understand what Maki Jiashi meant.
On the contrary, it is a collector who asked with interest: "You mean, at the same moment, some people say that this book is not finished, and some people have the full version of the book. Is this contradictory?"
Mu Jiashi nodded.
"What could be the reason?"
They thought for a moment.
Suddenly, Mu Jiashi said: "What was written with pen and paper is garbled, someone fell from the roof... Does this remind you of anything?"
The taskers looked at each other.
In the bookstore, Xu Bei murmured these two words: "garbled, falling..."
After a while, he suddenly realized.
