Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

This newspaper seemed to be published a few days after the previous one... At least in terms of content, the previous one only described the murder of his wife, but this one directly mentioned that the murderer had not yet been arrested.

Mu Jiashi quickly read the contents of the news—it was nothing special, nothing special.

But why does the date go backwards? Is it because the nightmare has reached the fifth round, and there is a certain degree of collapse?

Mu Jiashi was thinking, outside, the selfish ghost strode towards the bookstore.

The first sentence he said after entering the door was: "The news on the TV at the gas station is not what those two people said before!"

With a kind of tension and anticipation that he didn't quite understand, Mu Jiashi asked, "What has become?"

The selfish ghost replied: "The reporter is broadcasting live. It seems that the police have already locked down the approximate area of ​​the murderer and are conducting a search."

Mu Jiashi was startled.

The TV at the gas station seems to be running faster than the newspapers in the bookstore. But it's normal, after all, there is a difference in the timeliness of TV media and paper media, and the TV is still broadcasting live.

But in this case...

Mu Jiashi fell into deep thought.

A factor that has been ignored by them has gradually surfaced.

Through the pictures in the live broadcast room and the onlookers, Xu Beijin understood the whole process even though he didn't actually see the news from the newspapers and TV.

He thought for a moment, and then a word suddenly appeared in his mind.

time!

In the live broadcast room, the reasoning boss understood it almost at the same time. He tapped on the barrage excitedly: "It's time! The time of this dungeon is fluid!"

Chapter 37 Silence

In the presence of missionaries, Xu Bei could not speak at all, but the reasoning boss just helped out, and typed his inference on the public screen.

"Time has always been a very important factor in this nightmare.

"In the dark bedroom, the interval between each round of counting is one minute; the fastest time to drive from the corridor to the service area is three minutes; the time when the nightmare collapses and the men in black kill indiscriminately leads to the restart of the nightmare is exactly five minutes ...

"This information requires taskers to pay attention to the time all the time, and as the nightmare collapses, the error tolerance rate is getting lower and lower.

"I used to think that in this nightmare, if you noticed the tension in time, you could successfully pass the nightmare; but now it seems that it is far from enough to play the true ending!

"Because, with the collapse of the nightmare, the time of the nightmare itself is flowing!

"In other words, when the nightmare was restarted, everything in the nightmare was restored to its original state; but starting from the fifth round of nightmare, the scenes and events in the nightmare are not in the original state, and will also change!

"In the beginning, the murderer was at large, then the police issued a warrant, and then the police narrowed down the scope of the search, and they are arresting them... These are all brought about by the passage of time in the nightmare.

"This should be the fifth round of nightmare, a change that occurred with the collapse of the nightmare.

"However, this brings up an interesting question.

"Why did the men in black start killing people indiscriminately in the fifth round of nightmare? At first I thought it was caused by the collapse of the nightmare.

"But it doesn't seem to be the case now. If the time in the nightmare starts to flow, at this point in time, the man in black is the murderer who is on the run... This makes me think, did he escape to this service area, and then, start kill?

"That is to say, not only the fixed scenes and information have changed, but the fluidity of time will even affect the actions of NPCs (or players?) in the game! Their behaviors will also change!

"According to this, I guess that the next change in the nightmare may be that the police surrounded the service area, preparing to arrest the murderer, while the men in black will continue to resist and continue to kill.

"...the situation is not good.

"It stands to reason that the extent and speed of the changes must be getting bigger and bigger as we go forward. It is very likely that the next round of nightmares will be completely different. This problem is a bit serious.

"Another point is that this change happened after the nightmare collapsed... that is to say, if the nightmare does not collapse, then the taskers are doomed not to be able to obtain this information, and it is impossible to get through the true ending!

"Even if it is the second time to enter the nightmare challenge, I doubt whether it is possible to play a true ending in the normal state of the nightmare and the frozen time.

"...that's about all I can think of."

The analysis of the reasoning master stunned several viewers in the live broadcast room.

"Damn, I feel the malice of the game plan."

"In other words, if you want to get through this nightmare, you have to wait until after the fifth round? What's the difference between this and the previous nightmare of the doll shop owner, who had to obtain the item card to get to the true ending? All of them are unimaginable conditions. what!"

"It's really a stroke of luck..."

"I would like to ask, if this change will also affect the performers, why is there no change in our North?"

Xu Beijin: "..."
