Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

"The so-called fog is probably a subtle difference between his novel and his dream within a dream.

"In order to maintain suspense in his novel, it should not be revealed directly that the protagonist has lost his memory, and naturally he will not show the warehouse where he keeps the food.

"The fog defines the scope of the plot of the novel, but when we know that this is a novel, or when the plot of the novel comes to an end and the truth is revealed, the fog should naturally dissipate.

"The final plot of the novel should be that the protagonist is starved to death in the torture that he would not want to live. If we don't stop it, this may be a bad ending; if we try to prevent his death, I think it is at most an ordinary ending.

"In the final analysis, the man who was tortured in the dream, the man who walked into the mist was not actually the enemy of the owner of the nightmare. It was the projection of his own psychological shadow.

"That's why, when we mentioned the person who fell from the building in front of the man who walked into the mist, he resisted so much, because he didn't want to know the truth, he just wanted to immerse himself in such a beautiful dream.

"But the problem is, in the outer nightmare, he is still suffering from hunger, at least in the nightmare. So, the desire to survive will make him want to wake up from the deeper dream, even though it is just going back to another dream middle.

"That's why a tall building appeared in his dream. It was a retreat for himself according to his subconscious mind.

"The only use of the tall building is to wake him up. Therefore, other survivors will ignore this shelter from the wind and rain. The reason why the bookstore exists and the book is there is an eye-catching reminder.

"And the group of survivors in the playground who arranged for him to be 'executed' is likely to be some people he encountered in the outer nightmare, or even in reality.

"They may be the real ones in the doomsday, and they had some exchanges with the owner of the nightmare, and then they were thrown into the nightmare, becoming the existence of the background board, and taking on the important responsibility of waking him up."

Having said that, Mu Jiashi reviewed his statement, then nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I think that's it."

After the rest of the taskers were quiet for a while, they all said in unison: "I think this is reasonable."

Fei and Wu Jian were even convinced, because Mu Jiashi even deduced the common ending they knew, that is, to prevent the man who walked into the mist from starving to death.

The Collector questioned inappropriately, although his smile was more like a half-hearted compliment, he asked: "So what's the ending? Although the nightmare has been analyzed, what should the ending be?"

Mu Jiashi had a meal.

Inexplicably, he thought of the last nightmare. He also faced such doubts.

Indeed, what is the point of analyzing nightmares and exploring the truth behind the scenes? Their ultimate goal is to solve this nightmare, not to do reasoning here.

But this time, Mu Jiashi did not act too self-indulgent. In the end, the recuperation at the bottom of the narrow building for so many days still has some effect.

Besides, although he has always wanted to paddle in this nightmare, he still hopes that he can get some clues in exchange for information about Su Enya.

Mu Jiashi just smiled wryly and said, "I don't know what the ending should be. However, an analysis of the nightmare is still necessary."

In contrast, Fei's question is more practical: "So what should we do now? Just jump off the rooftop and leave this dream within a dream?"

"Wait, I have a question." The bald head said, "The last round of nightmare, why did it restart?"

Mu Jiashi shook his head: "I don't know." He hesitated, "I have some guesses, but I can't confirm them."

The bald head glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

He also agreed with Mu Jiashi's point of view before, so after all, he probably had the same guess as Mu Jiashi.

That is, in the nightmare of the outer layer that they don't know, what may have happened.

In the second layer of dreams, the condition for restarting is the loss of memory-but this is not so much a restart of the nightmare as a restart of the plot of the novel.

They became the fish in the pond, forced to follow the man who walked into the mist, repeating their fate in vain.

But in the first layer of dreams, death may still be a condition for restarting the nightmare. Perhaps in the outer nightmare, someone died, so... that will lead to the restart of the nightmare?

From this perspective, what they are in now is actually the second round of nightmare.

...But it's useless to say these things, and it adds to the confusion in vain. No matter how many rounds of nightmares, they have gained enough information, and at this moment, it seems that they can also try to challenge the true ending.

But Mu Jiashi's heart is full of vigilance.

The more so, the more he worried about whether there would be any special changes in the nightmare, such as... Will the nightmare suddenly collapse?

He was worried, but to no avail.

Fei took the trouble to ask again: "So what are we going to do now?"

Mu Jiashi hesitated a little. Although enough information has been analyzed, he still feels that there are some clues in this dream that have not been clarified.
