Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Ever since the first live broadcast, when he left the bookstore in fear, Xu Beijin seemed to be more and more used to this kind of free action.

In fact, the mastermind does not completely restrict the activities of the player, but only requires the player not to reveal his identity to the tasker, and to perfectly play the role of a narrow building resident.

And most of the original cosplayers were eager to defy NE. It's a pity that the long years and hopeless future have smoothed the hearts of most actors.

Even Xu Beijin, he has become more and more used to the life in the narrow building. Calm, hopeless, with no future.

Dai Wu told him that the game should be regarded as a second life, and at the same time, the real life should not be forgotten... Xu Beijin believed that he could not do it. Dai Wu's fearless optimism sometimes almost makes Xu Beijin feel envious.

But he can't. In other words, he did submit to NE. He accepted his fate.

The only thing he insists on is that he doesn't want any questers to enter his nightmare. And for this, he had to find ways to refresh himself, and thus acquired a small, harmless hobby.

But that's about it.

And when he harvested the live broadcast system and left again and again——to escape from the bookstore, he finally realized that freedom... When people are deeply trapped and trapped in difficulties, and then suddenly the sea and the sky are bright and the clouds are clear...

Freedom, what a nostalgic thing.

It seemed to awaken a part of Xu Beijin's dormant soul.

... Well, its final performance is probably Xu Beijin involuntarily going to line up outside the milk tea shop.

What can he do. He can't control his feet.

Xu Beijin thought in despair and frustration.

When he watched his milk tea being sealed with plastic film by the machine again, he was suddenly taken aback.

He felt that there seemed to be a gaze staring at him behind him. That gaze was calm and indifferent, but it stuck firmly to his back, never leaving a single step.

Xu Beijin lowered his eyes slightly, and the happy expression on his face instantly faded. He took the milk tea handed over by the clerk, thanked him, then turned around and looked behind him. As expected, none of the actors were looking at him, but that gaze followed him everywhere.

He took a sip of milk tea, frowned and thought, is this what those missionaries are facing?

The moment he noticed that gaze, Xu Beijin thought of Dai Wu's warning to him. He realized that if there was a problem with the furniture and electrical appliances in the Loko apartment building, would there be a problem with the commercial area as well?

Compared to the unexplained panic of the taskers, Xu Beijin was much calmer. Although that gaze was always on him and made him a little uncomfortable, but as a resident of a narrow building where hundreds of taskers gathered at the door, Xu Beijin thinks that this is just a small scene now.

It's just—he bit his straw, thinking a bit distressed—if this gaze still followed him when he returned to the bookstore...it would be a bit annoying.

He took a few steps to the side to keep himself out of the way of other actors. His calm eyes searched among the various decorations, electrical appliances, and objects in the room, trying to find the lingering sight.

He was on the first floor of the business district. There was a milk tea shop at the entrance. He had never drank this brand, so he came to queue.

Now, he stands aside, looking thoughtfully at the entire commercial area, from the automatic glass doors at the entrance, to the passenger elevators and escalators in the atrium, to the small appliances in the milk tea shop...

There is also air conditioning.

Xu Beijin raised his head subconsciously and looked at the air outlet of the central air conditioner in the business district.

This is one of those appliances in the commercial area that is often overlooked. People tend to focus on the dazzling shops, but don't pay attention to the air-conditioning outlets above the white walls.

But it's everywhere.

The moment Xu Beijin looked at the air outlet of the air conditioner in front of him, the gaze that had been staring at him disappeared instantly.

Xu Beijin breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, but then felt baffled.

He is a cosplayer. Moreover, he is not the master of this nightmare, and what he insists on saying is no different from the NPC in the nightmare.

So, this refined air conditioner... What does he do?

Xu Beijin tilted his head somewhat incomprehensibly, and he said softly to himself: "Okay, maybe it's because...you haven't seen me like this?"

He laughed amusedly. Perhaps he himself realized that for a cosplayer like him, when he is "working", he goes to drink milk tea with other cosplayers, which is completely fishing.

Other actors might think that his script was just wandering around the business district, but Xu Bei knew very well that he was just teased out by the audience in the live broadcast room, and then he got out of hand.

And, that was a solid hour. It would be too boring to just wait in the bookstore.

...Xu Beijin didn't have the concept of boredom before. He's just doing a dutiful paddling extras in a nightmare. It's a pity that he now has a live broadcast system.

From thrift to extravagance.

He took one last look at the air conditioner outlet on the side front. Although I don't understand why this line of sight is fixed on him, but since it has appeared, and Dai Wu reminded him before, "Be careful behind your back", Xu Beijin decided to be more cautious.
