Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game - Chapter 144

“Why is there a door?”

Ringo asked questioningly.

Xu Beijin said: “This means that the narrow building and the gray mist have almost completely overlapped. The madman in the gray mist is about to come out.” He said with some caution, “Pay attention to safety, Ringo.”

They will face crazy, irrational taskers and actors who sink into nightmares.

These lunatics no longer have any concepts of reality and illusion. They cannot be merciful to Xu Beijin and Ringo because they are saving humans.

This means that Xu Beijin and Ringo will have to face more dangers in the process of searching for data ports.

However, Ringo was a little confused: “You said the lunatics in the gray mist are coming out… But aren’t those lunatics going to the ultimate nightmare?”

Xu Bei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and murmured, “You are right…”

He sorted his thoughts.

It is impossible for the gray mist to have two doors in front of a madman at the same time, one leading to the ultimate nightmare, the other leading to the narrow building…

Although the gray mist does connect the nightmare and the narrow building, the passage and the door must be interrelated.

In other words, one door corresponds to one passage, and one door corresponds to the same batch of lunatics.

In the previous nightmare of Xu Beijin, those taskers could pass through the door in the gray mist and shuttle between the gray mist scenes at will, because it was Xu Beijin’s nightmare.

In different situations, the situations they face are naturally completely different.

At least Xu Bei knew that those humans in the gray mist and sinking into it were impossible to leave the scene where he was.

Moreover, the danger in the ultimate nightmare now is the lunatics who have already perished.

They have to concentrate on creating the danger in the ultimate nightmare, how can they turn to attack the narrow building?

Xu Bei thought for a moment, and came to a conclusion: “It is the lunatics in the ultimate nightmare. It is the people… who have just fallen into the nightmare.”

That is also a huge number of lunatics, occupying at least four-fifths of the humans in the narrow building.

This conclusion complicates his mood.

After a while, Xu Beijin was unwilling to think about it anymore. He said, “Be careful, Little Apple.”

His statement made Ringo somewhat dissatisfied: “You should pay more attention to safety, North End.”

Xu Bei was stunned and glanced at him sideways, more or less inexplicable.

Ringo touched his left arm.

Xu Bei couldn’t laugh or cry, so he could only say: “Okay, I will pay attention.”

Then, a sharp cry interrupted their conversation. They looked up at the same time and found that the door in the gray mist had been opened wide, and a steady stream of lunatics were pouring out of it.

Xu Beijin and Ringo stood at the door of the narrow building.

For a moment, Xu Beijin even thought that the two of them were the last fighters in the battle, they were to protect this narrow building… Thinking of this, Xu Beijin’s mouth opened with a sneer.

Ringo asked timely: “So, what if they enter the narrow building?”

“It doesn’t matter…” Xu Beijin said, “Let them go. As long as it doesn’t interfere with our process of finding ports.”

Ringo nodded.

Then, the two men looked at the control panel.

The glittering golden light spot is now confined to a thin circular line, which is the narrow, almost disappearing buffer zone between the narrow building and the gray fog.

“Let’s go…” Xu Beijin said, “We have to find that thing before the buffer zone disappears.”

Ringo nodded and followed him.

At this time, Ringo had to be distracted to deal with the endless stream of lunatics.

Most of them don’t seem to pay attention to Xu Beijin and Ringo, perhaps because of the special identities of Xu Beijin and Ringo.

But these people pass by their side, but they will always interfere with their actions.

In addition, there were some radical and crazy people who directly attacked both of them.

Ringo could indeed kick one foot at a time, so that these people shouldn’t influence them, but the difference in numbers made Ringo a little rushed.

Xu Beijin said decisively: “You come to deal with them, I’ll look for a port.”

Ringo hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said, “Okay…”

They chased the golden light in the chaos.

That is really a difficult task. Several times, the golden light spot had come to their feet, and Xu Beijin squatted down to dig out the thing.

But his hands are always stepped on by those lunatics inadvertently, and then he misses the opportunity.

Or maybe it was pushed by someone, so he immediately crooked his hand and missed it again.

Ringo glanced at the red seal on Xu Beijin’s hand, the action was even more fierce, especially those lunatics who interfered with Xu Beijin, they were all thrown away by Ringo as if to vent their anger.

However, the lunatics are still endless, scouring them like flowing water or waterfalls.

And they had to look down at the position of the golden light spot displayed on the control panel in such a chaotic and complicated situation.

I have to say that the control panel has left a large gap for them, after all, these lunatics can’t hit the control panel.

Xu Beijin felt a little irritable. The number of taskers and actors who had fallen into the nightmare exceeded their imagination. You know, a large part of lunatics have gone to the ultimate nightmare.

However, outside the narrow building at this moment, there are already densely packed lunatics. They all rushed towards the narrow building desperately.

Unconsciously, the positions of Xu Beijin and Ringo had already deviated from the entrance of the narrow building.

Those lunatics are crowded at the entrance of the narrow building, wanting to enter the narrow building. As a result, the crowd farther away from that direction is sparser.

Xu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and paused for a while.

A circle has been cleared around them. Ringo’s figure was like a phantom, and almost turned out of a phantom around Xu Beijin.

Ringo watched Xu Beijin stop, so he stopped and asked him, “What’s wrong?”

“May have to wait.” Xu Beijin said loudly. The noise of the lunatics around made him have to increase his volume a little, “Wait until the buffer space is reduced a bit.”

Ringo nodded. He stretched over and wiped Xu Beijin’s hands clean with his clothes.

Xu Beijin looked down and smiled unconsciously: “It’s okay, it’s just a bit dirty.”

Besides, he will have to continue searching in the mud of this buffer zone for a while.

But Ringo seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, still trying to wipe Xu Beijin’s hands clean.

Xu Bei looked at him quietly.

Around them, the lunatics still rushed to the narrow building. No one cared about the two of them, as if the torrent of life in the world rushed through them, but it could not affect them.

Ringo squeezed Xu Beijin’s hand with satisfaction, then leaned in and kissed him. He is proud: “I like your clean look.”

Xu Bei just wanted to talk.

Ringo said again: “Let me feel that I protect you very well.”

Xu Beijin paused, then laughed: “You are the first person who wants to protect me.”

“If you get a little hurt, or get soiled by anything, I will feel distressed.”

Ringo said frankly, “So I have to pay attention to you all the time. And I can fight better than you, of course I have to protect you.”

Xu Bei wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say. He hesitated for a while, and finally just said: “Thank you for your protection.”

He himself was amused by his words.

Ringo stared at him intently.

Xu Beijin was a little uncomfortable, he laughed at himself secretly, he had clearly confirmed the relationship with Ringo.

But every so often, Ringo blushed and moved what he said… Maybe he was not as frank as Ringo in this aspect.

In the end, Xu Bei gently hugged Ringo, and then changed the subject: “Let’s continue.”

So Ringo continued to clean up the lunatics who interfered with them. Time passed bit by bit.

And their hard work and waiting are also worthwhile.

Now, there is only a short line in the area that can let the golden light point pass through.

In other words, Xu Beijin and Ringo are already standing on the only way to the golden light spot, they just need to wait and see.

Finally, the golden light came to Xu Beijin’s side.

He had been squatting there, with quick eyes and quick hands, he directly pulled the rusty key out of the mud. On the dashboard, the position of the golden light spot no longer changes.

Xu Beijin had been holding his breath, and now he was greatly relieved.

Ringo hurriedly pulled him up.

Squatting for too long made Xu Beijin a little dizzy. However, he still said excitedly: “We found it!”

“Yes, I found it.” Ringo replied, leading him back into the narrow building.

The road back to the narrow building was still crowded with lunatics, so they had to spend a little time.

However, they finally didn’t have to be outside the narrow building, being hit by those lunatics.

In that door, endless lunatics still emerged. The sheer number made Ringo feel a little uneasy.

He said: “Go on like this… They all have to run out, right?”

“Yes…” Xu Beijin glanced there, then narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “This is exactly what we need.”

Ringo looked at him strangely.

Xu Beijin murmured: “A lot of empty, no human players, junk data…”

Ringo didn’t understand, but he didn’t plan to ask anymore. He pulled Xu Beijin’s hand over, wiped the dirt off his hands again, and touched the broken skin on the back of his hand.

Ringo couldn’t help but said, “We haven’t been able to escape, and now you are already scarred.”

Xu Beijin looked at Ringo’s expression, and said with self-knowledge: “Sorry, I…”

“I know you are willing to… this is what we are doing.” Ringo leaned in and hugged him. “But I’m really worried. I’m worried that I didn’t protect you. I’m worried that you will feel pain.”

Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, and then said: “I know.” He murmured, “But, it won’t hurt…We are, gradually moving towards our goal. I am very happy.”

Ringo looked at him, then took a light peck on his lips.

Then he said: “My lips are peeling. Walk around and go back to the bookstore to drink water.”

Xu Bei was helpless, but kept up with him.

What they need to do is basically done. Next, it’s up to the people in the nightmare.

Xu Beijin looked back one last time. The lunatics who rushed into the narrow building were walking back and forth in the narrow building spontaneously, seeming to be looking for a suitable location. When I found it, I stood still quietly, as if waiting for something.

What everyone is waiting for.

Xu Bei’s eyes were deep, and after looking at it for a moment, he was surprised by the calm of these lunatics, and then he realized something, his face changed slightly.

He stared at them blankly for a while, then took a deep breath and moved on.

Outside the narrow building, countless gates are emerging, and countless personal figures are pouring out one after another.

Now, in the narrow building and the ultimate nightmare, these humans who were once sinking into the nightmare are all over.

Their expressions were dull and stiff, and some were crazy and hideous. They have all kinds of looks and performances. However, there is also a certain lifeless temperament.

If you are careful to distinguish, then perhaps someone in the ultimate nightmare can find some familiar figures in the middle.

Like…a familiar, woman?

Jiang Shuangmei exaggeratedly wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She said a little annoyed: “How long do we have? I think we have been walking in the fog for several hours…”

Of course it is an exaggeration for several hours, but they did walk in the gray mist…at least half an hour.

But according to their previous inferences, it may take ten minutes to come to a striking scene that is not covered by gray fog.

Jiang Shuangmei knew that her complaints might be annoying, so she added: “Is the place we want to go is covered by gray fog? Then we didn’t realize it when we walked by?”

Fei said, “It’s very likely.” She pondered for a moment and asked Wu Jian, “Where is the next expected arrival location?”

When they set off, several people had already considered that it was very difficult to identify the direction and position in the gray fog.

Therefore, they must look for and identify a few road signs, confirm their location at any time, and ensure that they do not get lost.

Wu Jian grimaced and said, “The concert hall…to be honest, it seems to have been missed.”

Several people were silent for a while.

They realized that walking through the fog was more difficult than they thought.

They not only have to pay attention to the direction, but also the invisible doors.

Once, Ye Lan almost walked through a door. If it weren’t for Xie Zhijin’s quick eyes and quick hands, he found that the fog seemed to fluctuate somewhat unusually, and then pulled Ye Lan, I am afraid that Ye Lan would instantly disappear into that door.

And this time the mistake made the atmosphere between them a lot dull.

Although walking into the gray mist with ambition, the process is much more difficult than they thought.

They still walked in the original direction.

Unexpectedly, he was holding the computer and leading the way. Suddenly, he said a little nervously: “The computer still has 50% electricity left.”

The atmosphere became more depressing.

At this moment, the mist in front of him surged. Then, there was a sound of footsteps.

The five waited with bated breath.

Gradually, two figures appeared.

Wu Jian was the first to see them and said excitedly: “Mu Jiashi! Shen Yunju!”

Reunited with other companions again, which made several taskers subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

Mu Jiashi’s expression was not as excited as they were, and he even frowned subconsciously.

His gaze swept across these taskers, and he was about to speak when he suddenly saw a strange figure.

Wu Jian introduced him and also explained Xie Zhijin’s situation.

Mu Jiashi raised his eyebrows inadvertently, and then scanned these people.

Shen Yunju glanced at him.

Not long ago, he and Mujia Shi met a man who came out of the bakery who was also almost sinking into the ultimate nightmare.

At that time they decisively separated from that person because they were worried that such madness and sinking might be contagious.

However, now, this man who was obviously completely in the nightmare, and even lost the memory of the narrow building and the nightmare, still walked well with the other taskers.

From a certain point of view, he even behaved soberly. There is no problem with the people walking with him.

Is this because Xie Zhijin is special, or…

Mu Jiashi meditated.

Fei saw that Makashi seemed to be thinking about something, so he took the initiative to say, “Are we going together? Tell you about what we are planning to do on the road.”

Mu Jiashi asked casually: “What are you going to do?”

Shuangmei Jiang explained excitedly: “Go and get rid of NE!”

Mu Jiashi: “…”

He looked at these people around him incredulously.

With all due respect…Aren’t they still allies with NE before they set off?

It has only been a few hours, and in the blink of an eye, you will back stab your ally, and become the second or fifth boy?

Fei explained their thoughts again, and Mujia was taken aback. Some of them could understand, but still felt a little weird. The key to the problem lies in–

He said: “If NE is our enemy, why does it give Xu Beijin the authority of the mastermind?”

No one can answer his question.

Xu Beijin was obviously on their side, always like this from beginning to end.

It seems that he can obtain NE’s authority, and NE should be on their side.

Otherwise, how could such an important authority to manage narrow buildings be given to Xu Beijin?

Fei’s face was embarrassed, and he didn’t know how to answer for a while.

Instead, it was Ye Lan, who answered at this moment and said, “But no matter what, we should always do something now.”

Mu Jiashi was startled.

Ye Lan said: “I hope that my destiny is in my own hands.” She said indifferently, “Whether it is to give up or fight, it is up to me to decide. I don’t want to sit back and wait for death at this time. Just waiting-waiting for the pity of fate, waiting for the help of others. I don’t want this.”

Mu Jiashi looked at this cold, determined woman, and after a moment, said: “Then, go ahead.”

At this moment, any hesitation and hesitation seems unnecessary.

It’s the last moment, do whatever you want. Don’t stand still at this juncture, otherwise, regardless of success or failure, you will regret it.

So they continued to move forward, now there are seven people.

Compared with NE’s position, or their goal at the moment, there is another thing that worries Mu Jiashi more.

He said: “Do you think that our meeting in this ultimate nightmare is too easy?”

The others looked at each other.

Fei hesitated and said, “It seems to be a little… too easy?”

After leaving the initial scene, I met other companions, and now, it can be said that the three groups of them have joined together, a total of seven people.

In such a huge scene, it can be said to be very incredible.

Mu Jiashi said: “In the nightmare at Xu Beijin before, it seems to be the same. I soon reunited with other people and quickly recovered my memory… Even the appearance of the last maze was full of… deliberateness.

“Ten people joined in the maze…”

“You mean, someone deliberately…” Fei said, “NE? Or Xu Beijin?”

Mu Jiashi sighed: “It’s hard to tell. This sounds like a problem of probability. For example, when we enter this nightmare, the probability of being scattered in different places and the same place…”

“Then what if the tasker in the narrow building is still close after entering the nightmare?”

Jiang Shuangmei guessed, “Perhaps because of this, we will meet each other soon.”

Mu Jiashi said without hesitation: “Then this nightmare is too simple…”

He stopped suddenly.

Several people looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, he said, “You mean… the difficulty of this nightmare?”

Fei turned his head to look at the gray mist around him, and then said: “It’s strange…This nightmare, it really doesn’t seem to be the ultimate nightmare’s difficulty level… It’s not even as difficult as other ordinary nightmares…”

“It’s mainly because of the gray fog and lunatics, and they are not as aggressive as we imagined.” Mu Jiashi said with certainty, “the difficulty of this nightmare is a bit problematic.”

“So Xu Beijin lowered the difficulty of the ultimate nightmare?” Ye Lan easily came to this conclusion, “He now has NE authority.”

This is indeed the most likely explanation.

The difficulty of the ultimate nightmare has been artificially lowered, but who is likely to do such a thing?

Only Xu Beijin.

Inexplicably, the few people present subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, as if they felt that there was a solid and reliable force supporting them and helping them.

Mu Jiashi thought for a while and said, “That’s why he said, we just need to stay sensible in the nightmare?”

He took a little awe and admiration, “because he has prepared everything for us.”

The others nodded convincingly.

At this moment, Fei suddenly said, “Where is Old Xie?”

Everyone was startled.

Xie Zhijin’s presence has always been low, because he doesn’t speak much. He has no memories in the narrow building, so he knows nothing about what these people are saying.

Although he has followed in the footsteps of this group of taskers based on a certain… pursuit of the truth, or whatever, in fact he is more or less out of touch with other people.

And they don’t pay much attention to Xie Zhijin.

Now, Xie Zhijin suddenly disappeared.

Everyone stopped.

“How come!” said in surprise, “he was there just now! We didn’t walk a few steps!”

When Mu Jiashi and Shen Yunju appeared, Wu Jian also introduced Xie Zhijin to both of them.

And now, in the thick fog, they could see each other’s faces looking at each other, but they could not find Xie Zhijin.

The fog is too thick, and there are seven of them.

Humans do not need to count one by one to realize the number at a glance, and the maximum is seven.

However, in fact, because the fog was too thick, they looked over at a glance, and only three people appeared in their field of vision at most.

In other words, they cannot grasp each other’s movements in real time.

They can’t even say when Xie Zhijin disappeared. Because they simply couldn’t pay attention to Xie Zhijin’s figure all the time, maybe Xie Zhijin was gone after a dazzling effort.

Several taskers more or less blame themselves.

Fei Shen took a breath and said, “So, he entered the door in the gray mist.”

There is only this possibility.

Just now, when the seven of them acted together, it might be because there were too many people, or it might be because they were listening attentively to their conversation.

So Xie Zhijin didn’t pay attention to whether there was an invisible door around, and then stepped in directly.

What will be in the door?

“If he enters the gray mist directly…the gray mist outside the narrow building…” said uneasily, “then, would he be trapped there?”

Mu Jiashi frowned, “But he doesn’t even have any memory of the narrow building… He doesn’t know what those scenes mean, he…”

He will become a prisoner of the gray mist completely, without knowing it.

I don’t know who it was. It may be Jiang Shuangmei.

Fei and Wu saw subconsciously looking at each other, seeing the self-blame in each other’s eyes.

But soon Fei calmed down. She bit her lip, her voice seemed to be trembling, but it was full of determined emotions: “We, we have to keep going.”

Wu Jian also nodded with difficulty: “We have to continue to complete our mission. Only by successfully escaping from the narrow building can we solve all this… all this…”

Mu Jiashi wanted to say that what Fei and Wujian wanted to do might not be of any help to their status quo. Is NE really their enemy?

At least now, Mu Jiashi could not see any signs.

But he still acquiesced to Fei He Wu Jian’s decision after all.

Perhaps, compared to Ye Lan’s firm desire to do something at this moment, the pursuit of the truth is the reason why Fei He Wujian decided to go to the place where the gray mist first appeared.

This is also the wish of their organization and the founder of the organization, Xie Zhijin.

They stood silently in the gray mist for a while, and then continued to walk forward.

At the same time, Xie Zhijin, who stepped into the invisible door in the gray mist, felt the gray mist surge in front of him. Then, it instantly became thinner.

He raised his head subconsciously.

A dilapidated, tall and narrow building appeared in front of him.

There is no danger, no twists and turns. He appeared outside the narrow building. Behind him, there is also a door, endless lunatics are still pouring out, and running past him.

He returned to the narrow building-his memory was also restored. He is still sober and rational.

Xie Zhijin’s face changed in an instant: “How is this possible!”
