Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Either way, it wasn't quite the same dejected, haggard-looking man he was now.

She thought of the nightmare in which he had failed. She also appeared in that nightmare, and had some contact with this man. Of course...that's what happens at a higher level.

That was a nightmare she got as a brand new narrow building resident after going to a higher floor. That was her nightmare.

But Mu Jiashi didn't know that the person playing the role under the skin of the narrow building resident in front of him was the master of the nightmare that caused his failure.

But he looked deeply at the woman in front of him.

In a way, the Narrow House resident changed his fate. It was she who told him that Xu Beijin liked drinks, that's why he gave Xu Beijin drinks as a gift, and thus obtained a clue to a certain nightmare, so that he could go to a higher floor.

higher floors...

Mu Jiashi couldn't help being in a daze.

But the woman took the initiative to ask: "Are you asking about my neighbor again?"

Mu Jiashi was silent for a moment, then shook his head slowly: "No." Regardless of the thoughts of the narrow building resident in front of him, he continued, "I have experienced a tragic failure. Maybe you may have heard of it...or maybe you haven't. It made me less interested in nightmares for a while."

The woman couldn't help frowning.

Mu Jiashi said: "No matter what, I still thank you for the information you provided, which indirectly led me to a higher floor of the narrow building..."

He suddenly choked up, because he thought, should this be gratitude or resentment?

But the woman asked: "What does the higher floor of the narrow building look like?"

Mu Jiashi thought of the previous conversation with Xu Beijin, which was calm, pretending to be relieved, and even slightly teasing. He told Xu Beijin that it was not as vibrant as the ground floor of the narrow building.

But now, he said, "That's not where a waste like me should go." He said, "So I chose to go back to the bottom of the narrow building."

He kept saying "back".

"That's not what I asked." The woman didn't care about Mu Jiashi's self-pity, and there was a slight temptation in her words, "I'm talking about... the higher level, the nightmare. The one that caused you to fail."

Mu Jiashi was startled suddenly. He seemed to be stabbed by something, and a sharp pain and surprise suddenly rose in his heart as if threatening him.

Nightmare, he thought? The higher... nightmare of his failure? This narrow building resident...

He stared at the woman in front of him.

Suddenly, he withdrew all his emotions, and asked in a cold, firm and decisive tone: "What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Failure." The woman said in a very low voice, as if she was afraid of being heard, so she was extra careful, "That failure. What happened in the nightmare?"

Mu Jiashi said: "The nightmare caused my failure. However, I did not fail in the nightmare." He stared at the woman in front of him, "What do you know?"

After returning to the bottom of the narrow building, even though he also experienced a nightmare, he never told others why he failed to return to the bottom of the narrow building.

He has said countless times that he is a loser, a waste. But he never revealed the truth.

A well-informed merchant of daily necessities like Ding Yi might know; but this... this narrow building resident? How could she know? !

He didn't return to the bottom because of the failure of the nightmare. That nightmare succeeded, the true ending. But that nightmare also failed because it destroyed him.

That's not...the death of the physical body, but the soul. He encountered a nightmare that he could not imagine and could not face. So, he failed, failed countless times.

He couldn't escape that nightmare, so he could only fall into the abyss forever.

Mu Jiashi took a deep breath, suppressing the trembling.

His gaze was very cold, it was a side that never really disappeared under his decadent and depressed appearance—it was the side that belonged to the gold diggers who had played a 100% true ending on the bottom floor of the narrow building.

He asked again: "What do you know?"

The woman looked at him with a mysterious smile.

"I fear a lot. The only thing I don't fear is death," she said.

Mu Jiashi's face changed drastically.

The woman said: "It seems that you still remember this sentence."

Mu Jiashi was silent, his brain had received too much information, and now it was even a bit stuck.

And the only reason is...why does this woman in front of me, a resident of the narrow building who lives on the bottom floor of the narrow building, know this sentence he heard in the nightmare on the higher floor? ?

It doesn't make sense at all!

The woman gave a deep laugh, and she said, "My name is Su Enya." She looked at Mu Jiashi who had doubts and anxiety on her face, and said lightly, "But I'm afraid, I can't tell you more."

Mu Jiashi stared at her for a moment, then nodded. He didn't ask why the woman couldn't tell him more. Or maybe he already knew the reason.

He thought of that nightmare again, and thought of a woman in that nightmare.

It wasn't based on any relationship between men and women, he just thought of that woman because of her identity in that nightmare and some things that happened in that nightmare.
