Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

But precisely because of this, they subconsciously stopped.

Fei said, "It's not right." She stared at the hotpot restaurant, "There's a...very delicate atmosphere."

Mu Jiashi said: "This kind of madness may be contagious."

Fei murmured, "That must have been such a desperate scene."

The long-haired man stared at the hot pot restaurant, constantly swallowing the saliva secreted subconsciously. He felt that his appetite was boiling, but the more so, the more reluctant he was to move. He seemed to be enjoying this almost tortured feeling.

Both Fei and Mu Jiashi ignored him.

Fei yelled at a customer who was waiting for a seat: "Hello! Can I ask you a question?"

There was a distance of more than ten meters between them, but Fei was unwilling to pass by anyway. She sensed danger.

The man raised his head in a daze, and pointed at himself blankly.

Fei nodded: "It's you! I have a question for you."

She chose this person because the others were all in groups of three or four, but this person was alone, sitting silently at the end, curled up, as if enduring the torment of hunger.

Fei asked him: "Is the hot pot here delicious? There are a lot of people here, how long do we have to wait!"

"Delicious!" The man gave a thumbs up unskillfully, and said in a rather fascinated tone, "But, it's mainly for this family, the hot pot bath."

Hot pot bath?

Fei asked him what a hot pot bath is.

The man said, "It's just pouring the boiling hot pot soup over your head, until it drips down to the soles of your feet..." He said in an admiring tone, "I heard that someone can do it, and I hope I can do it too."

Scarlet thought strangely, so she went directly to the hospital, right?

"What's the point of a hot pot bath?" she asked.

"Clean yourself." The man's eyes widened. "This is the meaning of hot pot bath."

"Why not use clean water?" Fei asked, "And the hot pot is so hot."

"The hotter the better," the man muttered, "High temperature sterilization..."

Fei: "..."

Who would use hot pot to sterilize bacteria!

Fei disagreed and wanted to continue talking.

But Mu Jiashi suddenly pulled her and said: "This is just a lunatic." He used a rather restrained tone, "Don't entangle him too much."

Only then did Fei wake up, realizing that she seemed to be a little over the top just now.

She whispered in surprise, "This is... contagious madness?"

"Maybe." Mu Jiashi stared at the hot pot restaurant, "They seem to regard hot pot as a kind of belief...they regard the hot pot soup base as something like holy water."

Fei felt a chill, as if tiny bugs were crawling around behind her back. In the hot summer, she broke out in a cold sweat.

She trembled and said, "But, it's impossible that this hotpot restaurant is the only one going crazy..."

"So this is contagious..." Mu Jiashi whispered, "How many people in the world have fallen into this madness?"

Fei bit her lip, stared at the hot pot restaurant for a while, and then said, "Go ahead. I want to know what else is waiting for us ahead."

"What's more important is the nightmare itself." Mu Jiashi said, "These lunatics are just the 'danger' in the nightmare."

Fei Mian smiled forcefully: "I know, I understand what you mean. I just... I just..." She said blankly, "I was just thinking, what happened at that time..."

They can no longer just see these scenes as a game. They can't do that. This is what happened on their Earth. Perhaps, it once happened to them and beside them.

Although they have lost those terrible memories, they seem to be able to empathize with them.

Therefore, when Fei saw the group of lunatics in the nightmare, what she thought of was not how terrifying and terrifying this nightmare was, but what she thought was, did human beings face such madness on Earth back then?

Suddenly, caught off guard, it destroyed human civilization, madness?

Three taskers left the hot pot restaurant worriedly.

Ding Yi and He Shujun did not go south immediately.

Before that, it was the couple who studied the bus stop sign, but they didn't find anything. Then Ding Yi and He Shujun discovered the problem in the bank, and they didn't say there was any problem with the bus station.

But when Ding Yi and He Shujun walked past the bus station, they suddenly heard two bus horns coming from the corner.

A bus is coming.

He Shujun turned his head and glanced at the stop sign, then at the passing bus, and said with some surprise: "It's a tourist bus, and the last stop is a museum... There are two more stops. How about it, let's sit down?"

Ding Yi silently nodded.

He Shujun is a self-satisfied and approachable person, so facing Ding Yi's reticence and dullness, she didn't say anything, just smiled, and got on the bus on her own.

Ding Yi followed behind her.

They have no money, but the bus does not charge money either. This tour line is now free.

The bus driver was an uncle in his forties. When he saw Ding Yi and He Shujun getting on the bus, he just glanced at them, then turned his head silently and continued driving.
