Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Chapter 105 The Nightmare Restart

When Cun Tou and Ye Lan returned to the library, Fei, Wu Jian and Long-haired Man had already returned here.

The latter three went to the east. After discovering the blocked area and the old man, they found no more clues, so they walked back decisively and returned to the library.

Not long after, they saw two other taskers returning with two new faces.

Fei looked at the man and woman curiously.

Cun Tou talked about all the things they encountered, focusing mainly on the issue of "couples quarreling".

Fei thoughtfully said: "So, they fit all the characteristics, except the gender is inverted?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in her heart, but she couldn't figure it out.

She looked at the two of them.

The couple looked at the few people who appeared in the library with a confused look.

And Wu Jian has already quickly told what happened to them.

Cun Tou said slightly surprised: "So, museums are probably also important?"

At present, they have explored in four directions: east, south, northwest.

Centered on the library, to the east is a strange blockade and an old man, to the west is a residential area and a couple, to the north is a space agency and a group of astronomy enthusiasts, and to the south is a museum.

As for the important people corresponding to the museum, I am afraid that they will not know until Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi return.

In any case, the appearance of this couple seems to have brought them some inspiration, and at the same time, it also brought some problems.

Cun Tou said helplessly: "But, these two people obviously have nothing to do with museums or space agencies..."

Fei looked at the two and nodded.

They are only related to the library in the west and the center; while the scene buildings in other directions seem to have nothing to do with them.

However, if Xu Xiaoli is really the master of the nightmare, then the fact that these scenes can appear in his nightmare must have something to do with him, right?

But now I can't see it at all!

All kinds of contradictions made Fei very troubled.

At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room are also working hard to analyze what is going on in this nightmare.

But unfortunately, because of the lack of perspective from the museum, their thinking has also reached a dead end.

"In the final analysis, the boy in this couple is a strong candidate for the master of the nightmare. He has met some conditions and failed to meet some conditions."

"Yeah, that's more troublesome."

"It would be nice if they switched genders."

"Gender swapping is one aspect. Another problem is that the couple appeared in a residential area. At most, they only got involved with the library. The sense of separation from other scenes is too serious!"

"The inference master said it well!"

"In fact, this nightmare has developed to the present, and one point has become very obvious. The object of the nightmare's owner's fear is most likely the sky fire descending into the world.

The reason why the players appeared more than an hour before the birth of Skyfire was because the nightmare master was nostalgic for the world before the end.

"However, the disaster of heavenly fire completely destroyed such a world. This scene caused a huge psychological shadow to the owner of the nightmare, so he kept replaying the cause and effect of the incident in the nightmare, lost in the In this endless cycle of nightmares.

"As for the resident of the narrow building outside the nightmare, according to the information disclosed by the players in the dialogue, I am afraid that he survived the disaster.

And he was completely frightened by the end, so he kept saying that the end is coming and everyone will die.

"But upon closer inspection, his mentality is very interesting. His words can be said to be on the side of the doomsday, intimidating human beings, that is, his compatriots. Why does he have such a mentality, which is close to helping the evildoers?

"What if he loses his beloved in this disaster?"

"I see! The reasoning boss is so right!"

"Psychology of revenge, is it psychology of revenge!" "The bad luck I experienced, I have to let each of you have a taste, and the people you love must die too", this is the meaning right! "

"Wow, then the owner of this nightmare has completely distorted his mind!"

"Actually, it's also understandable. Anyone who watched their beloved die in the apocalypse and survived... Unless they are truly strong, their mentality will be easily distorted, right?"

"It is very likely that there will be a compensatory psychology. For example, if it is me who dies instead of you, it will be fine...

But it is estimated that the owner of this nightmare is not a good person, so he will pass this kind of revenge on other people, and hope that other people can also experience his despair..."

"Uh, but if you analyze it this way, isn't it different from the character of the little brother in front of you?

From the live broadcast just now, it can be seen that he seems to be a good old man?He didn't even get angry when his mother did that..."

"It may also be that the older and kinder the person, the more powerful he will be when he turns black?"

"Fuck, I think what you said makes sense."

"I'm so gratified, under the leadership of the two reasoning masters, the atmosphere in our live broadcast room has finally made great progress... Woohoo, finally no longer a mentally handicapped look..."

"Who are you calling mentally handicapped [knife]"

"Whoever should be is the [dog head]"

The players were laughing and joking, making jokes.

And the missionaries are also quite tricky.

A key problem is that in this nightmare, they must find the owner of the nightmare while keeping themselves safe, and solve this nightmare as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, if this nightmare collapses... Think about the power of the fire that came to the world that day, wouldn't there be an ultimate evolution version of the fire that came to the world?That would be too hard to survive.

The missionaries looked at each other, feeling quite a headache.

At this time, Zhang Minglian asked after being slightly confused: "Well... Excuse me, where is the clue about the end of the day that you said earlier?"

Cun Tou then said, "In the library, come with me."

Several people rushed into the library.

The time was also approaching four o'clock, and it seemed that the coming of this round of nightmare skyfire was inevitable.

Fei looked slightly worried outside the library.

Now the seven taskers have gathered in the library, but Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi did not come back as agreed... What happened to them?Or, did they ignore the passage of time?

If they're in a museum, and the museum is really a sanctuary, then the situation is manageable.

But what if they have now left the museum and it is too late to return to the library?

Thinking about it, Fei became worried.

He Shujun is that example.They didn't even know if He Shujun could recover after leaving the nightmare.

If not, wouldn't this nightmare be like an abyss in the true sense?

They entered this nightmare as if they were coming to die...

However, since Mu Jiashi once entered this nightmare and played the true ending, it is impossible for him to put himself in deep danger.How could he not know the importance of refuge?

Fei thought for a moment, then shook her head, turned and entered the library.

No matter what, it still depends on what happened to Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi.Perhaps they are not in danger?

indeed so.The current Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi are indeed not in danger, but they are not that good either.

Because they met the old curator.

The moment they said goodbye to that irascible man and stepped into the museum building, the old curator appeared in front of them.This elusive old man is really a little bluffing.

But now Ding Yi already knew what the old curator would do, so he wasn't too flustered.

When the old curator greeted them, she could still smile back calmly.

They followed the old curator to the nearby art museum, and at this moment, Ding Yi understood why the man said that there was nothing to visit in the museum.In fact, most of the collection has already been removed.

However, the old curator was facing the empty wall, with a normal smile on his face, and spoke a long paragraph of explanation very smoothly, as if the object he wanted to explain was still hanging there.

Ding Yi couldn't help feeling a chill.

She realized that this civilization was already on the verge of extinction before the Skyfire came into the world.

But... At this moment, she suddenly realized another thing.

If such madness was once something experienced by missionaries like them.So, are they crazy now, or sober?

It was the first time for Ding Yi to examine herself from this angle, and the result of her examination was nothing.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her.Maybe a madman doesn't think he's crazy either.

However, it might be better to say that those narrow building residents are more like these crazy humans?

Because of this conjecture, Ding Yi's expression turned pale for a moment.

Mu Jiashi was absent-mindedly listening to the old curator's explanation, and noticed the change in Ding Yi's expression with a casual glance, and asked, "What's wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Ding Yi said, "The residents of the narrow building."

Mu Jiashi was taken aback.

The two chatted softly, but the old curator's enthusiastic explanation was just playing the piano to the cow after all.

Ding Yi said: "After I returned to the bottom floor of the narrow building, I learned a lot of information. The two layers of speculation, from the existence of the ultimate nightmare to the fact that the doomsday happened on the earth, I know all of these two points.

"Now I realize, maybe, the Narrow House residents...are the same as us? Are they victims too?"

She spoke in a particularly erratic tone.

Madness in the spiritual sense and disaster in the physical sense correspond to two different states, and also correspond to the two camps in the narrow building.Could it be that they really once lived together on the same planet?

And Mu Jiashi was not surprised to realize that Ding Yi doubted the thoughts of the residents of the narrow building, he said vaguely: "Maybe..."

Judging from what Fei and Wu Jian discovered, it might not just be "maybe", but a certainty.However, Mu Jiashi didn't want to say that.

If you doubt the residents of the narrow building, then you have to wonder why these narrow building residents have not given any hints or explicit indications for so many years?

Even if the tasker is really that slow, the residents of the narrow building are too resigned to their fate.

Just like what Fei and Wu Jian heard in that crumbling tall building——

When they play a role for a long time, they seem to be completely in the play.

And that's not a good thing.

They really entered the play, which shows that their own wishes are meaningless in this game called "Escape from Heaven".And this also means that NE is their enemy rather than their helper after all.

So Mu Jiashi kept vague, not wanting to attract NE's attention.

But Ding Yi also realized that he did not deny his guess.This means...

Ding Yi was silent, subconsciously clenched his nails, and said nothing.

They continue to follow in the footsteps of the old curator.

There is indeed nothing to see in the museum, and the empty exhibition halls even more suggest the desolation and despair of the current situation.

When they left this exhibition hall and went to another exhibition hall, the old curator suddenly stopped, and he said sadly: "Two, actually, there is nothing to visit here."

Both Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi were taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect the old curator...to wake up at this moment?

"We, when we lose our memories of the past and history, and the moment we don't care about the past and have no fear, this civilization has completely come to an end."

Ding Yi and Mu Jiashi listened silently.

The old curator continued: "If you can't pick up those memories again, then all struggles are useless."

The two missionaries looked at each other, feeling that the old curator had something else to say.

But then, the old curator changed the topic to another place: "Today is the last day for the transfer of the collections in the museum, and the last batch of collections will soon go to a safe place. So, even if I want to take you shopping, there is no What a good place to go."

Ding Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

The old curator said again: "So, is there anything else you two want to know?"

Mu Jiashi still didn't speak, and handed over the right to choose to Ding Yi.

After Ding Yi pondered for a moment, he said, "You've been mentioning the past memories... Is this past memory related to Cangcheng?"

After being silent for a while, the old curator smiled and said, "Of course. Now many locals in Cangcheng may not remember that our country's aerospace industry started from Cangcheng.

"The space agency in the north of the city is the first space agency in China to be formally established and send our astronauts to outer space.

That step marks that we have finally stepped into the universe, and it marks that we have finally shouted our first voice to the universe.

"It was also at that moment that the mystery of the universe was slowly revealed to us a little bit."

Ding Yi was slightly taken aback.

In fact, when he heard Fei describe the space agency, Ding Yi was thinking, does this have anything to do with the museum?

After all, in this scene of Cangcheng, museums, space agencies, and libraries are all very eye-catching scenes.

Perhaps there is some connection between them?

But now, when Ding Yi was listening to the old curator's explanation about the space agency, he couldn't help thinking that it really was.

Sure enough, they can learn things related to a certain scene from other scenes and other people.

past.Ding Yi thought that they were learning about history and what happened in the past.

In connection with this nightmare, Ding Yi realized more deeply that this nightmare itself was also telling these human beings something about the past.

Ding Yi looked deeply at the old curator, thinking, even if this old man is not the owner of the nightmare, he is probably a very important figure in this nightmare.

He seems to know Cangcheng like the back of his hand.

As the old curator said, he actually showed a proud smile, he said: "I have never been married, but one of my comrades in arms died of illness early, and his daughter please give us old friends to take care of it.

"This child is also very competitive when he grows up, and he was a researcher of the space agency before.

She is a real pillar of the country... My comrade-in-arms, I am sure that under the nine springs will also be proud of her.

"Unfortunately, after the madness began to spread, the situation changed. The space agency was reorganized into other departments. Although it was a good thing, the aerospace industry... was still interrupted after all.

My daughter didn't want to go to another department, so she just quit and got involved with some astronomy enthusiasts...somewhat depraved. "

The old curator said so, but when he mentioned the daughter of his comrade-in-arms, he still showed a gratified smile, probably because she was very proud to have become a researcher of the space agency at such a young age.

Even if there are incidents, natural disasters and man-made disasters are hard to escape.

but……

space agency?Astronomy buff?

Ding Yi was a little surprised when he thought of the irritable man in charge of transferring the collection.

She then asked: "When we came in just now, it seems that we met your adopted daughter's...fiancé?"

"Oh, you said that brat." The old curator put on a straight face, "I'm going to get married soon, and I'm still busy with work every day. When the transfer of the collection is over, let him accompany Ah Ji well."

"Aji..."

"That child's name is Xie Ji." The old curator sighed and said, "She lost her mother when she was young. When she was a teenager, my comrades in arms also went there. Fortunately, I have to strive and be strong, and I have been stubbornly going to spaceflight. How could a girl her age have such ambition?

"However, it can be regarded as the name... After the rain, there is always a time to see the sun."

Ding Yi listened and nodded.

It was indeed Xie Ji.

She found that when Xie Ji was mentioned, the old curator finally had a touch of humanity.

Although, this trace of human touch, at this moment, seems extraordinarily weird and subtle.

She thought, therefore, Xie Ji is the adopted daughter of the old curator, and also the fiancée of the violent man, and the person who witnessed the unknown object through the astronomical telescope.

In this way, the possibility that the irascible man is the host of the nightmare increases exponentially.

While Ding Yi was thinking, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the clock beside him, and her expression immediately changed: "Oops! We're too late to go back to the library!"

On the clock, the minute hand has pointed to forty.In 10 minutes, the sky fire will come to the world.

If they could get on the bus, they might be able to make it back to the library, but unfortunately, the bus didn't even stop at the museum.

In other words, their only option is to take refuge in the museum.

And can the museum be this sanctuary?

Ding Yi thought a little anxiously.

When she was secretly worried about the coming sky fire, Xu Beijin also turned the view of the live broadcast room to their side, and heard what the old curator said.

The reason why the angle of view of the live broadcast room was adjusted was naturally because Xu Beijin discovered that the rest of the taskers had returned to the library, but these two taskers were still missing.

The two taskers visited the exhibition hall under the leadership of the old curator, and the time passed without knowing it, so they had no time to return to the library.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room felt that they seemed to have obtained very useful information after listening to the old curator's words.

"Xie Ji! I feel like this person is very important!"

"She connects the museum and the space agency! And the old man in the east is probably also Xie Ji's biological father's comrade-in-arms?"

"Then, could her fiancé be the master of this nightmare?"

"But... what about the residential area to the west? Besides, it was Xie Ji who was able to connect these scenes together. Her fiancé doesn't know what happened."

"Hey, I feel that there are only a few candidates for the master of the nightmare. After picking and choosing, why do you feel that they don't match at all?"

"I suddenly had a question. This young couple in the library, and Xie Ji and her fiancé... these two couples, who is the quarreling couple that the residents say?"

"Hey, damn it, you got the point."

"It makes sense. If Xie Ji is an expert in astronautics, and she is among the group of astronomy enthusiasts outside the Aerospace Building, then she must have known that the end is coming.

And her fiancé is not necessarily... In other words, this couple is the one who really fits the characteristics of those residents! "

"However, those residents are talking about couples, not unmarried couples. These two concepts are not the same."

"Uh... Maybe it's just that the residents don't know their specific relationship well, and just heard a man and a woman quarreling, so they thought they were lovers?"

"The emm problem is, I feel that in this kind of old community, the residents should know each other, right? Especially the neighbors...it's impossible for them not to know each other at all, that's too unsafe."

"It seems, it seems to make sense..."

"I'm a little dizzy when it's over. If the couple is talking about Xie Ji and her fiancé, is it necessary to add another interference item? Isn't this a bit of trouble?"

"Maybe... there is some connection between these two couples that we haven't discovered?"

"Ah, maybe it's just game planners not being human?"

"It's also possible..."

"It's over, I can't figure it out at all. What's the point of arranging such a control group?"

Xu Beijin looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room, caught a glimpse of the three words "control group", thought about it for a while, couldn't help but smile, thinking, it's quite vivid.

Xu Xiaoli and Zhang Minglian, Xie Ji and her fiancé, isn't this the difference between the experimental group and the control group?

For the owner of the nightmare, why is there such a stark contrast in the nightmare?

When it comes to the topic of doom, the two couples are almost diametrically opposed.

On the one hand, men trust, on the other hand, women trust.In addition, the personalities of the two couples seem to be quite different.

And what does this all mean?

While Xu Bei was thinking about it, the hour hand quietly reached four o'clock.They all ignored the voice on the radio.

Following the muffled roar, both Xu Xiaoli and Zhang Minglian stared out the window dully.

Several taskers who had already experienced looked at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had escaped again.

However, when they were secretly rejoicing, their eyes suddenly went dark again.

Nightmare, restarted.
