Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

"Ah, ball, stop talking."

"The elevator is perfect, and, there are people behind the scenes controlling the direction of the elevator, you can choose one yourself."

"...I choose to take the stairs."

"Then the stairs were blocked [dog head]"

"Actually, it is suspicious that the No. 4 elevator stopped below the 9th floor. If you take the elevator to the 9th floor, you must want to leave the building. Everyone knows that the stairs below the 9th floor are blocked.

"But this floor is not the bottom floor, so after arriving at this floor, I will definitely continue to try to go to other floors. So what's the point of this elevator stopping here alone?"

"It's like a trap."

"This...maybe it's just the mastermind's arrangement?"

"...Why are you back to the mastermind's arrangement... This is a game, it is impossible for the mastermind to intervene so much—or in other words, the intervention of the mastermind you think must be the arrangement of the game itself, not the mastermind's intention intervention."

"Yes, the arrangement of scenes and props in the game must have corresponding applications."

"Summary: These three people dare not act rashly now. The stairs are blocked and cannot be climbed; the elevator cannot be used, for fear of being taken by a group of possible lunatics to a dead end."

indeed so.

The boy, Fei, and the sorceress looked at each other, completely at a loss as to what to do.

As Ringo said before, below the 9th floor, you can go down, but you can't go up.

Finally, Fei broke the silence. She said: "If someone below the 9th floor is controlling the direction of the elevator, then I am afraid that the goal of leaving this building itself is a trap. What we need to do is just before this building collapses, Solve this nightmare."

The young man sneered: "Who knows. Maybe there is a way to escape? Maybe we can press the elevator here and try our luck to escape from this building."

Fei bit her lip and said, "However, there must be greater danger at the bottom. Those lunatics may be watching our actions at the bottom..."

Her words came to an abrupt end.

At that moment, she felt a sense of déjà vu that always appeared in this nightmare. But this time, it wasn't something in the nightmare, but... it was this nightmare, and the narrow building.

There may be lunatics monitoring the overall situation on the ground floor of this building. They control the elevators, and they may even control the surveillance of the entire building. After all, since the elevator is still working, maybe the monitoring can still be used.

... Then, what about inside the narrow building?

All taskers believe that NE is an accomplice behind the scenes. So, does it keep watch over the Narrows too...and where is it located?

Before that, Fei had always believed in the statement that the mastermind NE was located on the top floor of the narrow building.

But where does this claim come from? When you think about it, there is no basis for this. The only reason that can be used as a reason is... "Because the highest level sounds more like a den of bad guys".

But why can't it be the bottom layer?

That rumor... Fei was thinking anxiously, is the rumor that the exit of the narrow building is actually on the ground floor, true or false?

If it is true, then for so many years, wouldn't the missionaries' painstaking efforts to climb up the ladder be completely in vain?

And if it is false, then... how will they leave the narrow building? Continue to go up, work hard towards the highest level that is far away, or...

Fei pinched her palm tightly until the pain made her frown involuntarily.

Except for the three taskers trapped below the 9th floor, and Wu Jian and Lingo who were facing each other with the little girl's mother on the 16th floor, the actions of the other three taskers went quite smoothly.

They went to the 9th floor and found the freight elevator that the witch said.

In addition, they also found "that mushroom" in the elevator.

They did not choose to ignore it like the sorceress, but decisively began to communicate with this person, trying to obtain some information. Perhaps it was because of their large number of people, so soon, this person went from being silent to intermittently speaking.

The person's voice was hoarse and rough. It was not known whether it was because of excessive crying or yelling in fear, which caused huge damage to the throat, and the mission workers could hardly hear the person's original voice.

The "mushroom" curled up in the corner said: "I... I just hide here. I don't know anything. The ninth floor... I can't go down. I don't dare to go..."

"Don't dare?" The man in the suit was keenly aware of something, "Do you know what's going on below the 9th floor?"

The man opened his eyes wide, showing a dazed expression.

The missionaries exchanged glances.

After a while, the man finally spoke: "I... climbed up from below."

"Climb up?"

The man ignored the tasker's question at all, and said in a gossamer-like tone: "Below... there is a layer full of broken glass, and... razor blades. I took the elevator down, and there, I was cut feet..."

The missionaries looked at the man's feet, and sure enough, they found blood oozing from the skin. There are also some dark bloody footprints on the ground, but they have solidified and are very inconspicuous.

The man was still curled up in the corner: "My companion... entered the elevator on that floor. We walked in batches, fearing danger... Then, the elevator went down and came up empty again. Something must have happened to them up...
