Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

He stood there watching for a while.

The audience in the studio asked what he was doing.

He replied: "I was thinking, if someone enters this bookstore, the first reaction will be where to look for it?"

"Emmm, I like to look at the bookcase by the door first."

"My words... I habitually turn right."

"No, you guys are not really shopping in a bookstore, okay? [Laughing and crying] This is a decryption game! You must go wherever there is an NPC!"

Xu Beijin was taken aback for a moment, and then he had a flash of inspiration!

Yes, of course the players gather wherever there are NPCs.

And the NPC in the bookstore?

Isn't that exactly Xu Beijin sitting behind the counter!

Xu Beijin immediately walked towards the counter and circled around there. The structure of the bookstore counter is a circle of wooden cabinets against the wall, and there are cabinets on the wall, where some recommended books are placed, although they are now covered with dust and yellow.

In the end, Xu Beijin's eyes fell on a book in the cabinet on the wall behind.

All the books stood upright, but that one was lying there, even open. Even though he only glanced at it from a distance, Xu Beijin also found that the writing on it seemed to be very regular.

After a while, he got the book and opened it.

He found that the book that was opened - the words inside were indeed not garbled characters.

Chapter 67 Doomsday

The missionaries came to the road south of the entire ruins.

In the last round of nightmares, it was on this road that Fei and Wu Jian met the man who walked into the mist. And now, after waiting here for a while, they saw the man again.

Through the screen in the live broadcast room, Xu Beijin also saw the man in ragged clothes, sloppy feet, and sunken cheeks due to hunger.

Then he was taken aback.

He found out that this was the survivor he met outside the building during the first round of nightmares. The overly exaggerated and exposed hunger image of the survivor left a deep impression on him and the audience in the live broadcast room.

The travel route of this survivor appeared in Xu Beijin's mind instantly.

He came to the ruins near the building, found a place to exchange food in a hidden corner, and then used the porcelain bowl in his hand to exchange for a piece of bread, then turned west and finally walked to the southwest corner. And walked into the fog.

...he kept holding the bread in his hand.

Xu Beijin rubbed his chin, and couldn't help thinking, could this man be the key figure in the nightmare? Will he be the master of nightmares?

Just as he was thinking, he saw that Mu Jiashi and Fei had already stepped forward to stop the survivor.

The appearance of the man looked like a starved ghost, he was even a little delirious and dizzy, until Mu Jiashi tentatively pointed to the bread in his hand, he recovered instantly and took a step back vigilantly , stuffed the bread into his bosom even more.

He seemed to be awake a bit, but Fei could still hear his stomach growling.

So she couldn't help asking: "You are so hungry, why don't you eat the bread?"

"No." The man's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't drank water for a few days, "You can only eat when you get home."

"Why?"

"At home...safe." The man repeated this sentence, "It's safe at home...it's not safe outside."

Fei and Mu Jiashi looked at each other.

Afterwards, Mu Jiashi asked, "Where is your home?"

The man stretched out a hand and pointed to the end of the road: "It's... a little further away."

"Outside the fog?"

"Fog?" The man opened his eyes slightly, "No, there is no fog."

Mu Jiashi frowned suddenly.

No fog?

The bald head said before that taskers cannot walk into this fog. Mu Jiashi didn't think he was lying on this point. After all, if the world outside the fog was really related to nightmares, he wouldn't deliberately distort this information.

Only truly vicious taskers will deliberately give wrong information and mislead others.

After all, on the bottom floor of the narrow building, the taskers who entered the same nightmare were all prosperous and all lost. They don't need to entrap each other. So at most it is concealment, so as not to lie and mislead.

Therefore, if what the bald head said is correct, it means that this layer of fog is actually the mastermind's restriction on the tasker's activity area—at least Mu Jiashi thought so before.

However, the question is, if the fog is really within the scope of their activities in this nightmare, why can the residents of the narrow building enter the fog? If NPCs can go outside the fog, shouldn't there be clues to solve the nightmare outside the fog?

Mu Jiashi felt strange and confused for a while.

Fei was also puzzled by the mist problem, but apart from this doubt, she had a deeper layer of worry. That was related to the reason why she and Wu Jian came to this nightmare.

Therefore, when she heard the man say "no fog", her face changed almost instantly.

The rest of the questers didn't notice it, only the collector, who had been looking around with great interest and didn't seem to care much about his lost memory, noticed this with sharp eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth in a smile. He thought, oh, oh, in this nightmare, it seems that many people are hiding some secrets.
