Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

"Who is he? Why was he pushed down? Who killed him? Where did the murderer go? Why, his death won't bring about a restart of the nightmare?"

Fei thought for a moment, then shook her head again: "Perhaps this issue can also be discussed later, it is a bit complicated. If the death of this person is really important, we should be able to find some clues from other places."

Mu Jiashi nodded.

There are many possibilities, for example, the death of that person is something that must happen in the nightmare, and it is the source of the psychological shadow of the owner of the nightmare.

This is like the nightmare of the little boy that Mu Jiashi once experienced. In that nightmare, the mother of the little boy kept repeating the fate of death, but that is the only way of the nightmare, so it will not cause the nightmare reboot.

The only problem is that the death of the little boy's mother is not so intuitively presented in front of them, but the death of the woman is hinted at in various ways.

But in this nightmare, the death of the person who fell from the building happened right under the noses of all of them.

... Could such a nightmare really exist?

When Mu Jiashi was thinking, Fei took advantage of the opportunity to skip this question, no longer delved into it, but talked about the fourth question: "...the owner of the bookstore."

The taskers present couldn't help being silent for a moment.

At this time, the collector suddenly raised a guess with great interest: "Could he be the master of this nightmare?"

The rest were stunned for a moment.

"Look, he is so special..." the collector said, "and he has so much information..."

Fei frowned: "It seems...it's also possible."

Mu Jiashi had no choice but to speak, lest they be misled by this guess: "He is not the master of this nightmare."

The collector immediately turned his gaze to him, and asked curiously and earnestly, "Why? What evidence do you have?"

The collector who was refuted seemed a little unhappy. Although there was still a smile between his brows and eyes, the line of his lips was flattened.

Mu Jiashi gave him a strange look, he felt that this guy was a little... inexplicably arrogant.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, and looked at the others strangely. He couldn't help being speechless: "Are you really the taskers at the bottom of the narrow building?"

The other five were awkwardly silent for a moment.

Mu Jiashi: "..."

Good guy, they all came down from a higher floor!

Plus he...

Mu Jiashi suddenly wanted to ask, as for it? A nightmare at the bottom of a narrow building, as for tossing the six taskers from higher floors into this dazed and bewildered state?

He couldn't help sighing with a headache.

He said: "Well, I'm not curious about where you all come from. Anyway, this bookstore owner was once very famous on the bottom floor of the narrow building, and there were a lot of questers who wanted to enter his nightmare, but he never told Anyone ever opened up about their nightmares..."

"Wait, you mean," Fei suddenly realized, "he is the owner of 'that' bookstore?!"

There are many bookstore owners in the narrow building, which is just a profession after all. But Xu Beijin is the only one who can make all the taskers at the bottom of the narrow building and some higher-level taskers react when it is mentioned.

Fei asked in surprise: "That's him?!"

Of course Fei knew Xu Beijin, but she didn't participate in the farce at that time, so she didn't recognize Xu Beijin just now.

At that time, the woman who had come to a higher floor of the Narrow Building and obtained the code name "Fei" once wanted to go to Xu Beijin's nightmare. After all, at that time, the rumors had really spread like a god.

However, because Xu Beijin never opened up about his nightmare, Fei could only give up regretfully.

And she didn't expect that in the first nightmare after arriving at the bottom of the narrow building, she would meet this narrow building resident.

Mu Jiashi nodded: "If there is only one bookstore owner who is the most famous in the narrow building, then it is him."

He observed the faces of other taskers, and it was not difficult to see from their expressions that these people actually knew of Xu Beijin's existence, but they had never actually seen him.

Even the collector with the most eccentric and casual attitude has a look of interest in his eyes.

Although the nightmare they lived in was also said to be the "ultimate nightmare", since anyone can enter this nightmare, it is not as mysterious and curious as Xu Beijin's nightmare.

After all, which tasker would not want to leave the narrow building?

Mu Jiashi felt a little sorry for the trouble he had caused Xu Beijin, but he quickly put such emotions behind him. No matter what, Xu Beijin's troubles always existed.

and……

Mu Jiashi couldn't help but think of Lingo, who blocked Xu Beijin's many hidden arrows.

Fei said: "Since the owner of the bookstore is not the owner of the nightmare, then we should spend more time looking for suspicious characters."

The owner of the nightmare may be hiding in any corner of the nightmare scene, or he may only be found under certain conditions, or... he may show a completely different appearance from the image in the narrow building.

Therefore, if "finding the owner of the nightmare" can also be said to be a part of the nightmare, or even the difficulty of the nightmare, then they may have to spend a little time.
