Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

"I'm in tears... Beibei, please, just reveal the answer directly."

"I decided to admit it, I'm really not a master of reasoning, I can't figure it out..."

Xu Bei couldn't help laughing. He said, "Because this is a dream within a nightmare. This is a dream within a dream."

He didn't care about the crowds of exclamation marks floating across the public screen, and continued to explain: "Actually, the most clear implication is, why do people fall from tall buildings?

"Even if it's a kind of execution, in this kind of doomsday ruins, the use of more straightforward killing methods can have a greater deterrent effect. Why push people off the roof?

"What's even more strange is that as far as the naked eye can see, including the scene behind the fog shown in the previous round of nightmares, there are all ruins. But there is a tall building standing here.

"Indeed, it is crumbling, but this is a game after all. The existence of every scene has its reason."

Xu Beijin paused.

The audience finally realized: "I understand! This is implying that the taskers should also jump off!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

It seems that I can't say that completely... Forget it.

He smiled helplessly: "Almost."

At the same time, not far from the building, Mu Jiashi looked at Fei with piercing eyes: "You were pushed off the roof... How did you feel at that time?"

He also talked about the dream-in-dream guess, but compared to the audience in the live broadcast room who believed in Xu Beijin's speculation, the rest of the taskers were neither indifferent nor cold about his guess.

At the end of the day, they simply can't prove it.

But Mu Jiashi was not in a hurry. He asked Fei this question, which proved that he had some confidence in his heart.

Fei was also startled.

She suddenly discovered that she had even forgotten the fact that she had fallen from the rooftop, but when Mu Jiashi mentioned the feeling of falling from the rooftop...she couldn't help but tremble.

But it wasn't quite fear, or a kind of near-death despair.

It's a kind of...

Fei is undoubtedly a keen person. After thinking for a while, she tried to describe the strange feeling: "I think it is a very... a trance illusion. It's not just the weightlessness of falling from the building, there is also a Kind of...half dreaming and half awake...like waking up from a dream..."

Mu Jia used a precise word to define her feeling: "Is that a feeling of waking up?"

"Wake up..." Fei said hesitantly, "I can't say, but indeed... there is indeed a strange, sudden... I think it might be. Yes... I think your guess has some truth."

"It could be a dream within a dream," she said.

They are actually in a nightmare dream.

They entered a certain nightmare, and the owner of the nightmare was dreaming in the nightmare, so they naturally entered a deeper dream.

But if they want to solve this nightmare, or at least achieve a true ending, they must leave this dream within a dream, go to the outer layer, the real nightmare, and find the owner of that nightmare.

"So what do you think this dream within a dream means?" The collector asked with great interest, "Who is the owner of the nightmare?"

Mu Jiashi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I can't say that my guess must be correct... I think the owner of the nightmare is the deceased."

"deceased?"

"It's the author of that novel." Some thoughts flashed through Mu Jiashi's mind, "This can explain why the complete version of his novel appeared in the nightmare, and it can also explain why he fell from the roof. His way out of this dream within a dream.

"The reason why both the deceased and the murderer are elusive is also because of the dream in the dream. Maybe after he fell from the roof, he left the dream in the dream and went to the outer nightmare.

"Perhaps, his fall itself was a scene specially arranged by him in order to wake himself up, so the murderer disappeared. The murderer, maybe it was himself...he himself was in this dream An illusory projection in a dream."

What Mu Jiashi said surprised the rest of the taskers, but after careful consideration, they had to admit that what Mu Jiashi said was possible.

"And a dream within a dream..." After thinking for a moment, Mu Jiashi said, "First of all, what happened to the resident of the narrow building may be that he was robbed of food on the ruins of the doomsday, and thus fell into severe hunger.

"So he had a nightmare, dreaming that he returned to the ruins and was robbed of food again. According to the information we have now, the only reason for the nightmare that might make him fear should be this.

"Afterwards, repeating such encounters in nightmares may have made him feel very bored and painful, so he had another dream to comfort himself.

"In the dream, based on the content of the novel he wrote, he made the enemies who robbed him of food repeat the futile process of collecting food day after day.

"Obviously I have enough food, but I keep forgetting and repeating it again and again. I am trapped in such torture and cannot extricate myself. This should be the revenge of this novelist on his enemy.
