Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Wu Jian failed to see this book at the first time. After arriving on the second floor, he was immediately attracted by the huge electronic clock. There it shows exactly today's date and time.

July 23, 20X1, 3:15pm.

He paid special attention to this time, so he didn't notice a book hidden at the service desk.

But when he turned around the floor and couldn't find any living people or any special clues, he could only stare blankly at the thousands of books on the bookshelf, and he accidentally found that book.

Before that, he thought distressedly, this nightmare shouldn't require him to look for a specific book on the bookshelf, right? That would really be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Theoretically speaking, the nightmare of the narrow building would not have such strong and difficult requirements.

However, no clues were found on the entire second floor, so he could only walk towards a certain library area with a sad face. Then, passing the information desk, he caught a glimpse of the book out of the corner of his eye.

He picked up the book.

""Madness: A Record Over 200 Days"..." Wu Jian subconsciously read the title, and then said to himself in surprise, "Is this about those lunatics?"

He flipped to the publication date of the book and glanced at the electronic clock again.

...a book published a month ago?

"In this way, this crazy phenomenon appeared about two hundred days ago?" Wu Jian kept talking to himself, "No, not necessarily, it may have appeared a year ago at the earliest, that is Last summer when..."

He muttered thoughtfully, and then said with a bitter face: "What's the use of this? It's just knowing the time..."

On the second floor of this empty library, he could only talk to himself to relieve the pressure in his heart.

Wu Jian took a deep breath, then buried himself in the book.

He didn't really read it word by word, but browsed through the table of contents roughly, and skimmed through it quickly.

In this book, the author writes more about the phenomenon than the reason. He didn't go to the bottom to find the source of the madness, but just put his brushwork on those madmen.

In addition, because the matter of madness itself is spreading in this world, the words in the book inevitably carry a certain demented and hopeless temperament.

"...Transportation was the first to collapse, but it was also the first to recover. I heard that many people in the transportation department are transferred from the original aerospace department. Ha, there are mistakes...

"...Compared to those crazy patients and doctors in the hospital, the ones who suffer more but no one cares about them may be the patients and doctors in the mental hospital. After all, there were all lunatics there, and now they are full immediately. Crazy treatment Crazy, what tricks can be cured...

"...a lot of people are still working, but it's hard to tell if they're working because they want to work, or because they're crazy. No, they're not, as they were before...

"...If you don't experience it personally, people may find it hard to understand. The killing has changed from a horrifying and vicious event on TV to a common topic of conversation that people are talking about now...

“…that kind of craziness, it’s more of an unspoken thing that permeates the whole society. When someone says they’re sober, other people laugh and say, oh, so am I…

"...As far as the social order is concerned, this society can still live. Although I don't know where the madness started, but anyway, it has spread to such a large area, so let's go on like this...

"...

"I thought of that joke. The speed of human development is getting faster and faster. Primitive people may not feel that the world has changed a lot when they travel to ancient times; but ancient people will definitely be dumbfounded when they travel to modern times.

"So... the question is, how would a modern person ten years ago travel to the present, how would he react? Will he feel that human beings are hopeless, or will he lament that the development of the future world is actually like this?

"I heard that some scientists are already discussing whether it is necessary to allow such signs of madness. They believe that such madness is a possibility of the development of human civilization.

"Not crazy, not live?

"But human beings, in this huge universe, have really reached the moment when they have run out of ammunition and food and have to rely on madness to fight for their lives? Is our situation really so dangerous?

"I thought, even the scientists were crazy.

"...

"On the hundredth day after those lunatics appeared in this world, human beings began to discuss the human rights of these lunatics.

"Actually, some lunatics are pretty good, especially those who work hard. As long as they don't force me to work hard...

"I am not so much worried about my own safety as I am worried about how many people are still sober. And when there are fewer and fewer sober people, which one is really 'sane' or 'crazy'? Crazy? I can't come up with a reasonable answer...

"...

"After the madness began to spread, many lunatics believed that this was a sign of the end. They even worshiped such an end, thinking that it was a punishment given to mankind by the gods in the sky, and according to God's instructions, we will usher in the real one soon. day of doom.
