Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

"Because, she just wants her mother to pick her up..."

The sorcerer spoke in an erratic tone.

But the boy sneered and said, "Her mother, maybe she is dead." He still insisted on his point of view, "According to this, if we tell this little girl her mother's death..."

The sorcerer said: "Then why can't it be a bad ending?"

The boy paused and frowned.

Being slapped in the face didn't make him feel uncomfortable. He seemed to have gained some inspiration, opened his eyes wide, and murmured, "Death...is a bad ending?"

Jiang Shuangmei looked at him, then at the sorceress, and said, "This is what you said, the ending of the game in this nightmare, right?"

The sorceress nodded.

With great confidence, Jiang Shuangmei said to herself: "Since the main task of the game is to take the little girl to find her mother, there must be a corresponding time limit or other conditions...

"For example, how long will it take before the little girl's mother will be in danger and will die; if the little girl's mother cannot be found within the specified time limit, then the main quest will be considered a failure.

"And for the owner of the nightmare..."

Jiang Shuangmei looked deeply at the little girl.

"She certainly wouldn't want her loved ones to die," she said.

Jiang Shuangmei said this sentence in an extremely complicated tone. Then, she lowered her eyes, unable to continue speaking.

Of course she was able to empathize with the little girl. In addition, even if the little girl's mother took the initiative to abandon her at that time, the little girl might not be able to understand what her mother was doing.

Or maybe she's just waiting for her mom to come pick her up. Perhaps it was not until she became an adult that she finally realized that she had been left behind.

Outside the nightmare, she is already an adult, but in the nightmare, she is still a little girl when she was young.

That was her unhealed, childhood scar.

It was a sluggish, belated pain, and a nightmare.

But I'm afraid the little girl doesn't want the person she's waiting for to be dead. She waited for a meaningless hope, but at least it was a hope.

The missionaries were silent for a while.

After a while, the boy said in a blunt tone: "So, how do we get the real ending?"

The sorceress said in an extraordinary and calm tone: "I already know." She looked at the other taskers, then at the burning city outside the window, and at the survivors gathered on the 16th floor We, she said, "I really already know..."

She squatted in front of the little girl, touched the little girl's head, touched the bracelet on the little girl's wrist, and tried to show a gentle smile. She said, "My dear girl, mom is here to pick you up."

The little girl stared at her blankly, as if she hadn't reacted yet, but after a while, she let out a scream of surprise: "Mom! Mom, you're here to pick me up!" She hugged her mother and said aggrievedly, "You came so late..."

The witch touched her hair: "Mom will never leave you again."

The little girl nodded obediently.

The mastermind's prompt sounded in their ears at this moment.

"Congratulations on achieving the true ending of the nightmare. Please choose whether to go to a higher floor: Yes/No."

The missionaries all stared wide-eyed.

From the beginning to the end, the little girl just hoped that her mother could come back to pick her up; if possible, it would be best not to abandon her again.

Fei and Wu Jian looked at the people around them at the starting point on the bottom floor of the narrow building.

The man in the suit and the boy had disappeared, and they probably went to a higher floor, which was not surprising. As for whether they will come back, this is also unknown.

What about Ringo, anyway, he has always been on the ground floor of the narrow building, and has never left.

But the rest of the taskers made them all feel confused.

It is surprising that taskers like Jiang Shuangmei and Shen Yunju, who originally belonged to the bottom of the narrow building, are still staying at the bottom of the narrow building; and now, the sorceress is still here!

Didn't she go to a higher floor?

Didn't she say before that if the true ending is played, she will go to a higher level? Why didn't she choose to go?

The rest of the taskers left one after another, leaving only three people, Shen Po, Fei and Wu Jian, at the starting point.

The sorceress probably noticed Fei and Wu Jian's surprised expressions, so she smiled wryly, lowered her eyes, and said, "I promised her... I won't leave again. She is my daughter."

Fei immediately frowned.

Wu Jian even said carelessly: "That's just for the ending of the nightmare..."

"No..." The witch shook her head, denying Wu Jian's words.

The nagging temperament on her body is gradually dissipating, but her whole person has become more calm and gentle, even capable... just like the woman in the photo in the nightmare.

She just said, "That's different. If I went to a higher floor, I would have left her again... Maybe, I had already left her once, but in the narrow building..."

Wu Jian looked at her in surprise and speechless, thinking, the sorceress is really that sorceress.
