Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game - Chapter 143

In the ultimate nightmare, people have already discovered that the madmen who run out of the gray mist do not seem to be as aggressive as they imagined.

However, these lunatics do occupy their living space.

Few people dare to go to those gray fog, they can only stay in a safe scene that is not obscured by the gray fog.

Many people don’t know the truth of the gray fog, and don’t know what these lunatics symbolize in the gray fog outside the narrow building;

But when they came, they knew that a tasker had walked into the gray mist outside the narrow building, and then never returned.

Secondly, now this group of inexplicable lunatics came out of the gray mist, which made them stay away from the gloomy, catkin-like mist.

But some people did enter the fog.

Either they were forced to have no choice, and the space they were in was surrounded by gray mist, so they had to enter the gray mist to find a way to survive; or they were… mad.

There are fewer and fewer people awake in the ultimate nightmare. If Xu Bei pays attention to a certain number on the control panel, he will find that only a quarter of the sober people are left. Three-quarters of the taskers and actors have lost their minds.

This number has stabilized for a period of time after a rapid decline;

Then, in a short period of time, this number quickly dropped from one-third to one-quarter.

I got lost in the nightmare at the beginning, and after struggling for a while, I was still powerless. More and more people are losing their sense and self.

They sink into this ultimate nightmare. Of course, there is no guard against the existence of gray fog.

The original madman came out of the gray fog, and the new madman walked in again.

In addition to the impact of the gray fog, over time, sober people also began to worry about the sky fire falling into the world, and the ruins after the sky fire falling to survive.

Even if some people still don’t know what the sky fire is, they are beginning to worry. After staying in this nightmare for so long, will the nightmare collapse?

Vigilance and vigilance arose in everyone’s heart.

When Fei and Jiang Shuangmei came out of the gray mist, they took a deep breath, and before they had time to say something about the scene in the gray mist, suddenly, the sky shook before their eyes.

Fei shouted loudly: “Skyfire comes to the world!”

She and Jiang Shuangmei quickly ran towards the building next to them without even looking. They dodge the disaster of the heavenly fire, dangerously and dangerously.

Fei was trembling, before she recovered, suddenly, she was slapped on the shoulder.

She yelled in horror and almost slapped it out. Then she noticed that it was elusive.

Wu Jian, Ye Lan, and Xie Zhijin were standing in front of her, and Wu Jian’s expression was slightly embarrassed.

He didn’t seem to expect that he would scare Fei like this.

Fei took a deep breath, only feeling that his hands were a little itchy, and he couldn’t wait to beat him up.

Shuangmei Jiang said in surprise: “You are here too!”

Fei looked back at the doomsday-like scene outside—no, it wasn’t the doomsday, this was the doomsday. Just now, everything was normal, but it was in ruins in an instant.

Perhaps it is not so fast in the real world, or perhaps the ultimate nightmare accelerates the formation of ruins. However, this is the scene that mankind will eventually face after the skyfire comes to the world.

Fei looked at it for a while, then a painful flash of pain flashed in his eyes.

She couldn’t help thinking, who could think of it? Who could have thought of such an innocent disaster? Who could have imagined… life is just going on plainly. However, everything will change at a certain moment.

Complete, irreparable, powerless, change.

Fei closed his eyes, sighed, turned his head about to say something to Wujian, and suddenly saw Xie Zhijin next to Wujian.

Just now she was in shock and didn’t take a closer look. Now that she saw this person, she suddenly said in surprise: “Old Xie!”

Xie Zhijin opened his mouth, and then said suspiciously: “So everyone knows me, so I have lost my memory?”

His expression seemed very suspicious of life.

Fei was puzzled.

Wu Jian hurriedly explained: “He is sober now…no, nor sober. He believes what I said, but he has no memory in the narrow building… he is… uh, half crazy and half stupid?”

Xie Zhijin looked at him quietly: “Although I don’t remember you anymore, I think I can recover my memory one day.”

The implication is that at that time, you will wait and see.

Wu Jian closed his mouth.

Fei was a little confused, looked at Xie Zhijin a few times, and then shook his head again.

She always felt that the current Xie Zhijin, compared to the Xie Zhijin she knew, seemed…er, much more lively?

Fei couldn’t help sighing at the thought of the narrow building and the shaping and transformation of people by those nightmares—yes, of course. They are much calmer, silent, and gloomy than they were before the end.

They exchanged information.

The luck of the three of them was very good, although the gray mist appeared, but it did not spread to their side.

Therefore, they chose this scene as a place to stay, and prepared for the next stage of the sky fire coming, ruins and so on.

They have collected a lot of daily necessities, food, and water.

Unexpectedly, he said: “This can definitely support a period of time, at least it can allow us to wait and see the changes.”

Since they entered the ultimate nightmare, a long time has passed. At this stage, none of them knows what direction the next doom will evolve. Therefore, they can only do their best.

They are now on the first floor of a newspaper. The newspaper staff has disappeared, leaving only the empty building.

In the surroundings, there are also a few similar buildings that survived the sky fire.

However, because of the gray fog, they can’t see the distant scene clearly now.

This sense of urgency of being trapped in the mist, losing sight, and not knowing when the gray mist will come to them, made several taskers a little nervous and uneasy.

Fei said, “We came through the gray mist.”

Upon hearing this, the three of them suddenly focused their attention.

The three of them were lucky enough to avoid the fog, and they never thought about passing through the fog.

Now I heard that Hei and Jiang Shuangmei came from the gray fog, and immediately became interested.

Ye Lan asked: “What’s in the gray mist?”

“Those scenes are still there, but they are all obscured by the gray fog, and they can’t be seen clearly.” Jiang Shuangmei said directly, “Other things…I can’t see anything.”

“Can’t see anything?” Wujian looked a little weird, “So… is it safe?”

Fei sighed, “No, it’s not safe.”

“I mean… I can’t see it.” Jiang Shuangmei said, “There is something invisible-invisible, the door.”

When Fei and Jiang Shuangmei were walking in the gray mist, they didn’t notice anything, and they also thought the gray mist was safe. But then Fei accidentally ran into the door frame.

Only then did they realize that the gray mist was full of invisible and invisible doors.

“Furthermore, it’s in an open state.” Jiang Shuangmei said uncomfortably, “If you don’t pay attention, you might just rush in. Then…it’s probably to spend time with those who are sinking into nightmares.”

In the end, Jiang Shuangmei’s tone became much more complicated.

People who knew what happened to her sister couldn’t help but glance at her, but didn’t say anything.

The only one who didn’t know about Xie Zhijin, who had encountered Sister Jiang, looked left and right. She was a little curious, but she didn’t ask her doubts.

Now is not the time to pay attention to this.

“In other words, it is possible to walk through the fog, but you have to pay great attention to the situation around you.”

Ye Lan said, “Entering the door in the gray mist…Anyway, it will definitely make one less awake person in the ultimate nightmare.”

“Stay in the fog for a long time is also troublesome.” Fei hesitated for a moment, and then said, “I think the fog is likely to have some negative effects on our sanity.”

Wu Jian asked curiously: “How long have you been walking in the fog? Do you have a clear feeling?”

“There is no clear feeling. But…” Jiang Shuangmei hesitated for a moment, and then said, “I will lose my way in the fog. In other words, it is very likely that I can’t get out after walking for a long time, and then…”

Fei’s voice was low: “Then I stayed there forever.”

Wu Jian couldn’t help sighing, he said: “I really don’t understand why the gray mist can penetrate into the nightmare. Are you really here to pick up these lunatics?”

They had also encountered a fog similar to gray mist in the nightmare of the ruin, but that was only the boundary mark of the dream in the dream, not the gray mist outside the narrow building in the true sense.

But now it’s alright, in this ultimate nightmare, instead, there is a gray mist outside the narrow building.

Why?

“Even if these lunatics are considered to be the danger of this nightmare…” Ye Lan said, “should conform to the setting of this game, right?”

Unexpectedly, he scratched his hair in distress.

“The setting of this game?” Xie Zhijin asked suddenly, “So what is the setting of this game?”

Fei explained: “We didn’t get clear information, but…according to our guess, the setting of this game should be that after the end, humans enter the last refuge, which is the narrow building.

“The manager of the narrow building is an artificial intelligence. The residents of the narrow building have their own nightmares. The nightmares are based on their experience in the end; and the artificial intelligence of the narrow building also has its own nightmares…

“Outsiders—that is, taskers, enter these nightmares and help these survivors out of the haze of the doomsday.

“Yes, this is our guess.”

Xie Zhijin frowned and said, “However, in the information you know, there is absolutely nothing about the ultimate nightmare of this game and the ending.”

Fei He Wu Jian was a little embarrassed.

Can they say that because they are busy entering the ultimate nightmare and dreaming of a free and brisk life after leaving the narrow building, they never thought of asking about this at all?

After all, they have substituted the last days of the earth into the apocalypse set in this game.

In a sense, they escaped from the narrow building, which is what they hope to achieve in this game.

and many more?

Fei was startled suddenly.

She whispered: “The end of the earth…substitute into the end of the game?”

The others looked at her suspiciously.

“Humans leave the narrow building…Our ending, the ending of the game?” Her voice gradually became excited, “This is the ending of this game! This is the story of this game! The development of this game hints us!”

“What?” Wu Jian couldn’t help asking, “You mean… leave the narrow building?”

Ye Lan even said directly: “Leaving the narrow building is the destined ending of this game?!”

“Wait a minute, what are you talking about?” Xie Zhijin looked inexplicable, “What does it mean to leave the narrow building-is the destined ending of this game? Are we going to resist the manager of the narrow building and escape from the narrow building?”

He looked at the eyes of the other four, then swallowed: “Am I right?”

Fei said: “We have always conflated the end of the earth and the end of the narrow building, but they are actually different;

In reality, the destiny of mankind is different from that of the survivors in the narrow building.

“However, there are more similarities in this, as if it is implying that… the plot in this game is like walking along the path of human destiny in reality.

“The survivors in the game have experienced the end, and we have also experienced them; the survivors in the game are trapped in the narrow building, and we are also trapped in the narrow building; and we are now going to escape the narrow building…

“If you put it the other way around, this is exactly what the survivors in the game have to experience? They also want to escape from the narrow building? Is this the end of the game?

“You think… this game is called “Escape from the Sky”, which means you still have to escape after all. You have to leave this narrow building and you have to escape.”

Unexpectedly, he said: “So, NE is not our helper after all…but, our opposite.”

“I don’t understand NE’s position anymore.” He cursed, “I don’t understand at all… It is clearly helping us, but if we analyze it, it is not… It is our opposite again… Damn it. !”

They first came to the conclusion that “escape from the narrow building” was the ending of the game, and then went back and analyzed, and found that if they really want to go to this ending, then the human survivors in the narrow building will inevitably be different from the narrow building for various reasons. The artificial intelligence of the floor creates conflicts.

Therefore, NE is still their enemy after all.

Fei and Wu suddenly became nervous again. Before that, they realized that NE was helping them, and they had to say that this gave them a lot of comfort, after all—it was NE after all! Is the mastermind of this game!

It is omnipotent and does whatever it wants in this game. If they want to escape the narrow building, they must need NE’s help.

And they also think that NE is on their side.

But now, according to the outcome they analyzed, NE has stood on their opposite side.

“No, no…” Wu Jian subconsciously denied this possibility, “maybe…maybe, the artificial intelligence in the narrow building also wants to leave the narrow building…? Maybe?”

“Impossible…” Ye Lan said flatly, “Since it is the manager of the narrow building and it is also artificial intelligence, unless its developer changes its program…”

With that, Ye Lan fell silent suddenly.

Fei was startled, and then exclaimed: “Developer!” She said in surprise, “Yes…so, in this game setting, who is the developer of artificial intelligence?”

NE’s developers must be outside the game, but what about this game setting?

There should be one or even a batch of game developers, right? Can they change NE’s procedures?

With a wry smile, he scratched his hair and said in anguish: “It’s getting messy…”

Jiang Shuangmei said directly: “I can really find a developer? How can I find such a big scene? Now the gray fog has covered many scenes…you can’t see your fingers…”

Xie Zhijin added timely: “In any case, your discussion has nothing to do with our current situation-should we leave this place?”

Hearing this, everyone was quiet.

They turned their heads and silently glanced at the gray fog outside. It’s still pervading, I can’t tell if it’s coming to them, but… it will eventually.

“Gray mist…” Ye Lan said suddenly, “If we enter the ultimate nightmare, it means the final battle between the survivors of the narrow building and the artificial intelligence. Then, the gray mist must be the countermeasure of artificial intelligence, right?”

“Then why is it in the ultimate nightmare, not in the narrow building?” Fei asked, and then added, “The ultimate nightmare is the nightmare of all human survivors. It is the end that they have experienced…Why are you here? Solve the artificial intelligence that prevents them from leaving the narrow building?

“Why is it this moment?”

“Because, at this moment, it is artificial intelligence, in the development stage?”

It’s hard to come to this conclusion.

Then, the four of them looked at each other.

Ye Lan said: “So, that place must be somewhere in a gray mist, a place where artificial intelligence wants to hide. We have to go there, and then stop the development of artificial intelligence?”

Shuangmei Jiang couldn’t help saying: “However, a nightmare does not mean going back to the past…”

Aside, Xie Zhijin couldn’t help but pinched the center of his eyebrows.

He didn’t understand anything, and he had to stay with these three people here. This made him feel a little helpless.

He casually said: “You can always find those developers, and ask how to turn off the artificial intelligence you mentioned?”

After speaking, he himself was stunned for a moment.

“Yup!”

The other four people exclaimed.

They all acquiesced that NE cannot be turned off, after all, that is the main brain of the game.

But the artificial intelligence of the narrow building, or NE, has a different identity in this game.

To put it another way, if NE’s identity in the game is closed. So, what about NE itself?

In any case, they seem to have only this option now.

Fei is in a complicated mood: “So, now we have to start dealing with NE again…”

“I have to do something in the ultimate nightmare, right?” Wu Jian said, “Otherwise, just like Xu Beijin said, do nothing, just stay sensible until the end?

I think things are not that simple. It is also impossible for us to sit back and enjoy our achievements, and we can escape out casually. “

Fei sighed and said, “You are right.”

“In this case, where is the location we need to find?” Ye Lan thoughtfully, “where the fog first appeared?”

She and Wu Jian were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xie Zhijin at the same time.

Xie Zhijin was dumbfounded, and said incredulously: “My house is downstairs?!”

Wu Jian shrugged: “Anyway, I know that the first thing that appeared in the fog was what you told me.”

Xie Zhijin’s mouth twitched. He said, “I really don’t know, my community is actually developing god-like artificial intelligence…”

He thought it was incredible, but others seemed to have acquiesced to this possibility and immediately began to explore the route back there. Xie Zhijin tried to speak again, but was still silent in the end.

He thought, no matter what, let them do something in this inexplicable scene.

Doing anything is better than stopping in a safe place and waiting for death.

Waiting for death in a safe place…

At that moment, Xie Zhijin’s brain seemed to flash some peculiar pictures.

There are him, and there are others, in an old, gloomy, and decadent place…struggling, but waiting to die.

He was stunned for a moment, and then thought, okay, then go find that place.

Fortunately, the route they came along was not very complicated, as Xie Zhijin, Wu Jian, and Ye Lan all remember. But the problem is…

Ye Lan said calmly: “Will the gray fog make us lose our way?”

At the same time, they looked at Fei and Jiang Shuangmei, who had entered the gray mist before.

But they hesitated for a moment, then answered in unison: “Yes…”

After entering the gray fog, the field of vision will be occupied by the fog. Although the scene in the nightmare still exists, unless you look closely, you can’t see it at all, and it can’t be used as a signpost at all.

In this case, humans can only rely on their own sense of direction instinct. And this is really embarrassing for human beings who have long been accustomed to tools and technology.

Wu Jian scratched his hair, and suddenly took out the computer he had brought along from the side.

He brought the computer at first to find a companion on the Internet, but he waited for a long time and no one paid any attention to him. After that, I had already brought it anyway, but I didn’t put it down.

Now, this seems to be used to show them the way.

Wu Jian suggested: “The computer has its own map software, although it is useless to recognize the way… But it is still possible to be a compass, right?”

Xie Zhijin immediately praised it as a good idea, but the rest of the taskers were somewhat overwhelmed.

No one thought that now you can still use a computer-a computer! This thing has disappeared in the narrow building!

Shuangmei Jiang was overjoyed: “Yes! We only need to find our way!”

Ye Lan stood up and said, “Then, let’s go.”

They set out to find the developers of artificial intelligence in the narrow building in the game setting.

And this scene was seen by Xu Beijin.

In fact, he didn’t hear the conversations of these people completely, but only started listening when they were ready to go to find developers.

When he noticed that in the ultimate nightmare, the moment when Skyfire came to the world, he began to look for the questers and actors he was familiar with.

Later, he unexpectedly discovered that these people had gathered together, and switched the screen.

Later, he discovered that these people had noticed the difference between color and NE.

This made him quite gratified.

There was a lot of information that he did not tell the humans who entered the narrow building, but he could not tell either.

NE is indeed dormant, but this does not mean that unless it is awakened by Xu Beijin, it cannot wake up spontaneously.

Perhaps a special keyword can wake up NE, and then let it discover this group of humans and Xu Beijin’s plan.

Therefore, Xu Beijin must calmly finish everything. He hopes that by the time NE wakes up, the situation has already progressed to the point where NE can’t stop—even, he hopes NE will be defeated in hibernation just like this.

Now, the task force he had high hopes for has embarked on this path.

Xu Bei sincerely wished them the best of luck and wished them all the best in their actions.

When he was paying attention to the situation in the ultimate nightmare, Ringo beside him suddenly said, “There are only five meters left.”

Xu Beijin raised his head subconsciously, and noticed that the mist had filled their front.

This made Xu Bei feel a little nervous. The gray mist coming towards them is after all the self-destructing program of this game, and in this short period of time, the gray mist has already filled them.

Next, the gray fog will slowly erode the entire narrow building.

Long-awaited by human beings in the gray fog will inevitably lead to various spiritual problems.

Fortunately, the humans in the narrow building have fallen asleep at this moment, and at least they will not be affected by the gray fog for a short time.

However, Xu Beijin is still a little worried about whether the situation in the ultimate nightmare will develop according to his ideas.

No matter what, they don’t seem to have time to think about the future now. They first have to find the data port they need.

At this moment, only five meters remain in the buffer zone between the narrow building and the gray fog.

And an indistinct door emerged in the gray mist.
