Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

That mushroom... No, maybe that person was frightened by Lingo, so he stood up tremblingly after only a moment of fright, and walked towards the outside slowly, step by step.

The two missionaries were finally able to see his true face.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with thinning hair and a suit and leather shoes, but his face is full of tears.

He didn't know how long he had been crying in the toilet by himself, and now he didn't even feel ashamed, but his face was stiff, his head was lowered, his body was trembling slightly, as if he was still very scared.

Fei tried her best to calm her voice so as not to scare this rare living person: "Are you okay?"

The man didn't answer.

Fei asked again: "Do you know what happened on this floor?"

Perhaps some of the words reminded the man of something, he almost subconsciously twitched, as if recalling something that frightened him so much.

He yelled, "NO! NO!! Don't remind me of those things...! Please..."

With that said, he sat limply on the ground and curled himself up again.

But before Fei continued to ask questions, he started talking on his own.

"That group of people, they were here before. They were crazy here, they said this is their canteen, so it needs to be repaired.

"They had the renovators turn it into what it was, but then they stopped coming, saying things have changed and they don't have to live like this anymore...

"Everything, I can't go back..."

The man continued to cry, and Fei also understood what happened.

It's a man-eating ghost.

They regard the 14th floor as their cafeteria, maybe because they used to work here, so they decided to turn it into the original place, so that they seem to return to the state before the incident, and continue to eat and work here , rest and exchange.

But maybe the situation continued to collapse, and at some point, the group of ogres realized that there was no need to maintain the original state, because the situation had already changed.

They may have left this floor in the end, went to the lower floors, and ended up staying there, even painting the glass windows in the stairwell with blood.

Those man-eating ghosts have completely left their original lives.

...and that is the end? Is it the effect of something unknown on their brains? They were supposed to be normal people, working and living normally, but one day, they somehow became man-eating ghosts.

The sinfulness of their conduct does not affect the eccentricity of their motives.

Fei silently listened to the words of the "mushroom" in front of her.

He said that he hid here quietly after the group of man-eating ghosts left. Everyone else knew that this place used to be the territory of man-eating ghosts, so they didn't dare to come here.

He just took advantage of this mentality and hid here quietly until he was discovered by Lingo and Fei today.

He doesn't know much more than some past about this layer.

Fei couldn't help asking: "You hide here alone, don't you need to eat? Don't you feel thirsty and hungry?"

The man looked at Fei with a strange look, and said, "I am 'Mushroom'."

Fei was stunned for a moment, and then finally understood why, according to Xu Beijin, this group of mushrooms was also included in the ranks of lunatics.

Because they don't feel thirsty or hungry, they huddle in dark corners like real mushrooms. They seem to have lost all human touch, and only fear and resistance to the outside world remain.

Fei couldn't help thinking, could this be that "event" that happened outside, and no one knew what happened, the consequences?

Human beings were affected by the brain without knowing anything, and their lives have since embarked on another path. And even they themselves are not surprised by this. They think it's their own choice.

...Fei thought of the narrow building, and thought of their lost memories.

If she had to say it, she also thought of the "price" of the item card.

She knew that many taskers on the higher floors of the narrow building were unwilling to use item cards.

Apart from the very high-sounding reason they said - using the item card will affect the card pool after the nightmare is over - the real reason should be that they are afraid of the price of the item card.

No one wants to become like a sorceress; and a sorceress is just the epitome of a tasker who has used countless item cards at a higher level.

The item card also had some kind of... special influence on their brains without their own awareness, and the taskers would take it for granted, that's what they thought.

But if you let outsiders see it, the impact is so obvious that it cannot be added.

But it is difficult for the affected taskers to realize it by themselves. Because human beings do not doubt their brains, how can human beings doubt their own brains with their own brains?

Just like the man in front of Fei, he has already firmly believed that he will not feel thirsty or hungry, and he does not need to sleep. The meaning of his life is just shrinking in the corner.
