Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

And the core point of that rumor, or a piece of evidence supporting it, is that since the narrow building is a building, why is its door not on the ground floor, but on a higher floor?

Maybe higher floors can see different scenery, maybe the truth must be hidden at the top, but... the exit must be at the bottom, isn't it?

Therefore, the so-called "ultimate nightmare" must also be at the bottom of the narrow building.

The previous rumor, that "the ultimate nightmare appeared at the bottom of the narrow building", was not wrong. It's just that they got the wrong nightmare.

Many taskers from higher levels believed this news.

When they are going to a higher level, when they are tossing and turning in endless nightmares and endless floors, when they have solved countless nightmares, but they still can't see the end and hope...

Have they ever suspected that the exit of the narrow building should be below, not above?

In the beginning, all quest players appeared on the bottom floor of the narrow building. They take it for granted that going up is the right path, and only going up can they see the truth.

...Maybe you can indeed see the truth by going up, but you can't leave the narrow building?

The reason why they are willing to believe in this possibility is because when the previous rumor that "someone successfully left the narrow building" appeared, no one knew who left the narrow building.

Even for those mission workers on very, very high floors, the news they sent out was, "I don't know who it is", or even, "Does such a person really exist?"

They are already a very high-level group of taskers, and they know the names of almost all the front-line and high-level taskers. And they counted them carefully, and they were all there.

What's even more frightening is that although this rumor spreads well, no one knows its source, let alone which floor it first spread from.

The taskers on the lower level said it was from the upper level, but the taskers on the upper level waited until the taskers on the lower level went up, and then they were surprised to learn about it.

This sudden news seemed to appear out of nowhere, making people even wonder whether there were ghosts in the narrow building. Perhaps the ghost spread the news invisibly.

So, after searching everywhere to no avail, the taskers at a higher level heard the rumor that "an ultimate nightmare appeared at the bottom of the narrow building", and quickly realized a possibility as soon as they turned their minds.

Did the legendary tasker leave from the bottom of the narrow building?

... Maybe it's possible, isn't it? Maybe "he" and other taskers symbolize two roads; one goes up and the other goes down. While he succeeded, others failed.

High-level taskers know about higher-level taskers, but they never pay attention to low-level taskers.

And if someone, or some interest group, has been paying attention to the progress of "him", and finds that he suddenly disappeared from the bottom of the narrow building on a certain day, and he can't be found anywhere...

Then naturally, one would doubt whether he had found the exit of the narrow building.

Perhaps these people don't know whether "he" is successful, so the initial rumor spread, hoping that someone can give an answer, and even more hope that "he" will jump out and explain this matter himself.

Later, these people found that "he" could not be found, so they believed that he should have really left the narrow building; but they didn't know how "he" left, they only knew that he disappeared at the bottom of the narrow building of.

So the rumor about the "ultimate nightmare" at the bottom of the narrow building spread.

In short, someone may have left the narrow building through the "ultimate nightmare" at the bottom of the narrow building, but the people behind him don't know which nightmare it is, so they hope that others will find out this nightmare.

This group of taskers from higher levels who are crazy because of the "ultimate nightmare" may end up making wedding clothes for others.

Yet they will. The reason why this group of missionaries came back desperately is, of course, to find this ultimate nightmare...to leave the narrow building!

And how many of those taskers who stayed on the bottom floor of the narrow building originally stayed here because of the rumors of the "ultimate nightmare"?

The originally dead atmosphere changed again.

And all of this is due to the original rumor, the information from the residents of the narrow building.

Someone said that he heard a resident of the narrow building talking about the doomsday in a trance, so he stepped forward to ask curiously. After some debate and entanglement, the narrow building resident brought him in front of another narrow building resident.

He heard the latter muttering words such as "burning up", "they are all crazy", "doomsday", "don't leave me behind", "so dark", and happily, he told the others very loudly.

As a result, this rumor slowly spread, colliding with news related to the ultimate nightmare, until—someone decided to enter this nightmare to find out.

On the same night, when Xu Beijinku was sitting at the desk in the bookstore, he suddenly felt a trance, and his consciousness slowly sank into the deep darkness.

He's going to work again.

Before he really entered the nightmare, a trace of curiosity flashed in his mind. He wondered what kind of nightmare he would enter this time, could it be... that nightmare?
