Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

...Damn, he actually thinks this possibility is very high.

He walked slowly to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door... Then, his eyes widened in surprise.

Outside the door, Mu Jiashi, who called himself a loser and a waste, raised some drinks in his hand, and then showed a friendly smile.

He came to visit Xu Bei as promised.

Xu Beijin felt a little surprised. He welcomed Mu Jiashi into the door, but he still couldn't recover.

Mu Jiashi... Didn't he go to a higher floor? Did he choose not to go to a higher floor, or... failed again on a higher floor?

Xu Beijin was too embarrassed to ask about this, but Mu Jiashi took the initiative to say, "I didn't go to a higher floor."

Xu Beijin felt even more embarrassed: "Is it because of...?"

Mu Jiashi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm sorry, it's not because of the agreement with you, but because of..." He sighed, "I'm a loser, do you understand? If I can't adjust If you have your own mentality, even if you go to a higher floor, it will be of no use."

Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

But Mu Jiashi changed the subject: "I wanted to come here after the nightmare was over, but I wanted to bring you some drinks..." He pushed towards Xu Beijin, "It took me a long time to find these drinks, so I came to visit you so late."

Xu Beijin asked in confusion, "Have you been searching for a long time?"

Mu Jiashi hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's... Boss Ringo..."

Okay, he wiped out the market, didn't he?

Xu Beijin acted nonchalantly on the surface, feeling speechless for a while.

What he didn't know was that Ding Yi was actually preparing for the last nightmare, and put all the drinks she could get in a certain room to make a deal with Ringo. And that is almost half of the inventory on the ground floor of the entire narrow building.

And at the bottom of the narrow building, some of the beverages that were originally in circulation in the market were indeed taken away by Lingo, but in terms of quantity, compared to the ones collected by Ding Yi, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Even the carnival party of the fallen missionaries has complained a lot these days.

Naturally, Xu Beijin didn't know the twists and turns, but he was a little bit dumbfounded at Lin Biao.

Mu Jiashi observed the expression on Xu Beijin's face. The man in front of him was as deep and calm as ever, and even when he mentioned Ringo, Xu Beijin didn't seem to have any reaction.

He didn't know why, because the relationship between Xu Beijin and Lingo wasn't that good yet? Or... are you pretending to be calm?

Mu Jiashi couldn't see it at all.

Just like a few years ago, if Xu Beijin hadn't suddenly burst into anger and threw the excessive tasker out of his bookstore, then the tasker would have regarded the bookstore owner as some kind of good-tempered guy.

But in fact, it is not a wise choice to annoy the other party.

A few years ago, Mu Jiashi gave Xu Beijin some drinks, which actually made him gain something. From this point of view, the bookstore owner in front of him probably adheres to the principle of equivalent exchange.

If he is interested, then maybe he can take advantage of this and make some deals with him, just like a few years ago, maybe he can also get some clues about the nightmare.

but……

But Mu Jiashi suddenly became tired and lazy.

He didn't want to repeat the fate of the past few years. He chose to stay on the bottom floor of the narrow building simply because he wanted to stop. He was tired—weary from failure. But that wasn't just a failure, it was a...

A desperate rout.

So instead, he chatted with Xu Beijin about life, about everything in the narrow building.

Instead, in a slightly joking tone, he mentioned life in the higher floors of the narrow building other than nightmares.

On the higher floors, he said, life was slightly more comfortable than at the bottom of the narrow building, but also more lifeless. The higher it goes, the more it is, because the higher it goes, the higher the difficulty of the nightmare and the more dangerous the situation.

The taskers felt more and more that it was impossible for them to leave the narrow building, so they became more and more desperate and collapsed. If you have to say it, the bottom floor of the narrow building is more lively.

At least there are still some wild nights here. Although it is not a good place to go, it is at least a lively place.

"And on the higher floors..." Mu Jiashi said, "All the taskers are just discussing nightmares, customs clearance plans, and the matching of item cards."

Xu Bei listened carefully.

Mu Jiashi smiled wryly: "There isn't even a card dealer." He sighed with mixed emotions, "Everyone is... a tasker, just a tasker. Traveling through the nightmare... that's all That's all."

Xu Beijin's expression moved slightly.

He suddenly remembered that in the previous nightmare, when he told the audience about the existence of card dealers and garment makers, the audience used to ask and answer in a playful way.

"What are these missionaries doing every day?"

"Apart from tasks, do everything."

The taskers on the bottom floor of the narrow building are not doing their jobs, while the taskers on the higher floors have instead become working machines.

This stark contrast made Xu Beijin couldn't help showing a little smile. It's not all funny, it also has unspeakable bitterness.

However, in Mu Jiashi's eyes, there is only one meaning - ridicule.
