Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

He just asked calmly: "So, Fei, what do you know about the group of lunatics in this building?"

Fei glanced at him, then at the young man.

At this time, the boy was still staring at the man in the suit fiercely, probably because he had the advantage of his appearance, so the younger boy looked more pitiful and reasonable.

But Fei had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between them, and so did the rest of the taskers.

Therefore, she calmly withdrew her gaze, and slowly told the news she heard from Xu Beijin. Decorators, man-eating ghosts, mushrooms, man-eating ghosts... and there are only a dozen normal people left on the 16th floor.

The taskers almost corresponded their encounters one by one.

Their complexions gradually became worse.

After Fei's voice fell, all the taskers couldn't help being silent for a few seconds.

Finally, the man in the suit said: "Don't worry about that. I'm afraid this is just a danger we will encounter in our nightmares, and it has nothing to do with the ending and the truth we need."

The rest of the missionaries also acquiesced to this statement.

What happened in this building, as disgusting as it was, was nothing more than a setting for a game—at least they could use that to comfort themselves. As for how, I'm afraid we can only wait for time to judge.

…Zombies like Shen Yunju, they will never take the initiative to think about nightmares, narrow buildings, and the truth behind all of them like Fei and Wu Jian. They just choose to hide.

In this nightmare, Shen Yunju's presence is still very low.

Under his dead, zombie-like face, there was still the fear left over from a previous nightmare. In this post-apocalyptic building, he could barely move.

...a sense of sight.

In silence, he quietly thought of the word.

Of course it wasn't the first time something like this had happened to him, right? It's not the kind of "reappearance" in this nightmare, but the real sense... the feeling of feeling familiar with something, but can't remember it at all.

That business district.

After that nightmare, he chose to take the initiative to forget that feeling. Fear, despair, or more sense of helplessness, made him lower his head and close his eyes, choosing to turn a blind eye to those things.

But when he dreamed back at midnight, he always felt that there was still something haunting him, which made him unable to sleep. His self-hypnotic forgetting has indeed worked. Sometimes, he even wonders, what is he worrying about? What's bothering you?

Has he ever encountered anything worthwhile?

Isn't he just what he usually is? Did he experience anything special that was different?

Then at a certain moment, as if torturing himself, he remembered that incident again.

...Not long ago, when he was wandering around the narrow building like a wandering spirit, he suddenly overheard some people's conversation. His sense of presence had always been low, and those people were defiant, so they didn't notice his approach at all.

And so he learned of the nightmare.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Yunju entered into this nightmare with a determination to do everything he could.

As for why...he himself can't say well. Perhaps after so long of silence, he himself could not bear such cowardice. Or maybe it was because he just didn't want to be bothered anymore.

He just wanted to find an answer, so that he could sleep peacefully. That's all.

But after entering this nightmare, he encountered something even more confusing to him.

When other taskers noticed a subtle sense of déjà vu, when they felt that their actions seemed to be repeating the actions of some people in this nightmare, Shen Yunju felt...every moment, he seemed to be Repeating something.

Walking - as if walking at one time.

Take the elevator - I seem to have taken it before.

No... of course he did, it was part of everyday life.

But... But, what's so special about it? What made him feel wrong? Where does it make him feel that a certain part of his memory is faintly hinting?

Finally, he realized, it was this building.

At the beginning of the third round of nightmares, when the taskers were talking about what happened to them in the last round of nightmares, when Fei and Wu Jian thought of NE's huge authority, Shen Yunju cast his gaze out of the window.

...a burning city.

The city was burning, he thought, and the burning smell was always in his nostrils. Broken glass underfoot and a bloody ceiling above. People, people are running through this building, escaping, and dying.

He suddenly wondered, why didn't he immediately realize the familiarity this scene brought him?

...because it was not an event that he personally experienced.

It's like at a certain moment, such as when you are talking with a friend, and then inadvertently glanced at the TV, and suddenly found that a certain tragedy was being broadcast on the TV screen.

So you casually sighed to your friend, "Such a thing can happen again." You say so. Then, you forget about it. Maybe at some point in the future, familiar keywords will trigger your memory and remind you of that tragedy again.
