Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

"Acting? Acting??"

Fei's voice was very low, and her lips moved slightly. If it wasn't for Wu Jian standing very close to her, she might not have heard what she was saying.

Fei said, "Acting in a nightmare? In a nightmare...in a nightmare...dream?"

She suddenly thought of her last nightmare.

In the last nightmare, they got news about this nightmare from Mu Jiashi. It was a dream within a dream. Fei had never experienced such a nightmare, which made her feel a little novel.

But now, she suddenly thought of this nightmare.

Fei was taken aback for a moment, and Wu Jian was also taken aback.

Fei whispered: "A dream within a dream...a play within a dream..." She said slowly and thoughtfully, "Acting? A play...a play within a play."

When she said the last three words, her pupils shrank suddenly, showing an expression of extreme horror - what? Why did she associate these two nightmares?

A nightmare within a nightmare; a script within a script.

There are indeed nightmares in the narrow building... But in the narrow building, is there a script?

Fei's teeth bit her lip, and the pain made her deeply frown and wake her up.

Her hands trembled, she firmly grasped Wu Jian's fingers, causing Wu Jian to feel the same pain. He looked at Fei inexplicably.

"A play within a play!" Fei whispered, "A play within a play! A dream within a dream! Do you understand?! A play within a play! Those residents of the narrow building! The last nightmare, the owner of that nightmare...

"We convinced him so quickly that there was no point in torturing enemies in nightmares... Don't you think he's suspicious?! Those Narrow House dwellers... No one ever suspected them!"

Wu Jian looked at her, his face was slowly turning pale, as if he was slowly understanding Fei's meaning.

He said in a daze, "No, it's impossible... Impossible... How could such a thing happen..."

Fei's throat was dry, her breath was short of breath, her lips were trembling, her eyes were terrified and desperate: "We...we, it's us...human beings... no, it's impossible...for so many years..."

Scarlet felt an indescribable absurdity.

When she saw the lunatics in this building before, she thought about it. She felt that these post-apocalyptic lunatics were somewhat similar to the residents of the narrow building. But... this sense of déjà vu...

These lunatics are acting! It's a disguise!

The residents of the narrow building... are they also acting?

Fei murmured: "That's fake, that's all, that's all fake... They, who are they?"

On the 16th floor, Xu Beijin watched Fei and Wu Jian silently through the live broadcast room.

Did they get it, he thought?

Even if they understand that the residents of the narrow building are acting, do they realize that the residents of the narrow building are also human beings?

With the associative ability of Fei and Wujian, when they think of the scenes that the taskers found in their nightmares, which are familiar but cannot be remembered, when they think of the mysterious relationship between the sorceress and the little girl...

When they thought that the original source of this nightmare came from a resident of a narrow building...

Perhaps, they could immediately realize the suspiciousness of the residents of the narrow building.

This is also one of Xu Beijin's intentions to let Dai Wu spread the news about this nightmare at the bottom of the narrow building.

Not only to make the taskers interested in this doomsday-related nightmare, but more importantly, to make them aware of the suspiciousness of the residents of the narrow building—even the existence of the actors.

If the residents of Zhailou were not allowed to do this, Xu Beijin could have asked Mu Jiashi, who already knew the existence of this nightmare, or even Lin Po, but he still chose to let Dai Wu do it after all.

Because of this nightmare, it is to make the taskers suspect the residents of the narrow building and make them realize that the residents of the narrow building are acting.

Of course, the end, and the way it manifests itself in this nightmare, is just as important.

But what is crucial now is to let this group of mission workers who have not been aware of the problem of the residents of the narrow building for many years discover this "truth".

In fact, Xu Bei knew that at a higher level, someone must have suspected the residents of the Narrow Building.

Because of the actor's promotion, he needs to push the taskers to solve his nightmare both openly and secretly.

Where there exists, there must be traces.

Just like the actor in the previous nightmare, he was too eager, and even made the taskers suspicious.

And at the higher level, wouldn't those experienced missionaries have doubts about the behavior of the residents of the narrow building? They may just think that this is a reminder of the game, a help to the player, and an insignificant hack.

However, sooner or later, these doubts will slowly accumulate until they realize that there is something wrong with the residents of the narrow building.

And Xu Beijin gave them a gentle push.

He thought, if he really wanted to escape from the narrow building, then the distance and barrier between the tasker and the actor must be broken. They had to realize that they were the same kind, fellow countrymen, companions trapped in this damned narrow building.

Only in this way can they have a chance.

Only in this way……

Xu Beijin took a deep breath. He sat there, quietly looking at the burning city outside the window, his eyes were gloomy and calm.
