Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

To live is to be crazy, and to be crazy is to be alive.

Those figures who poked their heads and appeared at the window, those figures who came out of a certain alley and suddenly flew into another alley, and those in the street food stalls, hawking what they don’t know. My shop owner...

Everything looks normal. Everything looks unexpected.

After the two walked for a while, they found that they seemed to have been completely lost in this maze-like residential area.

They looked at each other blankly and stopped at the same time.

"There's something... not quite right here?" Cun Tou looked around, with a slightly strange tone, "The lunatics in this area seem to be..."

Ye Lan said in a slightly awkward tone: "A community has been formed."

They all frowned and thought, what's going on?

The lunatics who cast their gazes at them had calm and gloomy eyes. At a certain moment, they are like mayflies living and dying, they have recognized the fact that their lives are about to disappear, so they give up struggling, and they are depressed.

They seemed to be quietly waiting for something.

Cun Tou and Ye Lan walked to a breakfast shop by the side of the road, the owner of the shop was sitting there, silently in a daze.

He is a man in his fifties, with gray hair and cloudy eyes.

When the two taskers came in front of him, he seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and looked up at them blankly.

Cun Tou tentatively asked: "Boss..."

"Not for sale. Not for sale." The owner of the breakfast shop repeated these four words, "Not for sale."

"We don't buy anything." Cun Tou said, "I want to ask you something."

The boss looked at him blankly.

Cun Tou assumed that he agreed, and said, "Do you know that there is something flying towards us in the sky?"

The owner of the breakfast shop was stunned for a while, and suddenly sneered. He said, "I know, why don't you know? There is a couple living near here, and they had a quarrel because of this last night."

"Couples?" Cun Tou repeated in confusion.

"That's right, a man and a woman, both are young, usually peaceful and beautiful, but they had a quarrel last night. It was a fierce quarrel..."

Cun Tou nodded thoughtfully.

"It's because of that." The breakfast shop owner's voice lowered slowly. "Everyone in our community can hear it, even an old man like me can hear it clearly. Something's about to fall.

"The man didn't believe it, and the woman was scared to death. Then they started arguing all night, and it didn't stop until dawn. Crazy, I think they are all crazy, arguing in the middle of the night... What else could it be if it wasn't a lunatic?"

The corner of Cun Tou's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that this little old man was quite interesting.

Afterwards, the owner of the breakfast shop babbled again: "When you die, you die. It's time. There has been a lot of trouble in the past year, and my wife and I are also bored. My wife ran away from home in anger. It's..."

runaway?

Inch was startled.

The owner of the breakfast shop showed a strange smile. He opened the steamer and said, "You two, do you want breakfast?"

Cun Tou stared at the head belonging to the old woman in the steamer, his stomach churns for a while, thinking that it really was so.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly said, "No, no need..."

He and Ye Lan hurriedly left the breakfast shop.

After leaving the shop of the crazy boss, Cun Tou said viciously: "It's all a bunch of fucking lunatics!"

Ye Lan said to him speechlessly: "You say it in front of him."

Cun Tou smiled smugly.

Ye Lan turned to say: "I'm more concerned about... what he said, the couple who quarreled."

"You think that has something to do with this nightmare?"

"The store owner said it, and the whole community heard it."

Cun Tou hesitated for a moment, then realized: "You mean, if we ask other people, they will also tell us about this matter? That means, this is the point of this nightmare."

Ye Lan nodded: "He said that the couple were young people. Just now, the other missionaries said, how many young men are there in this nightmare?"

"The doctor in the museum?" Inch said, "There seems to be no other choice. That's still a student in the library."

Ye Lan said, "Then it might be that doctor." She thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe it's a misleading."

Cun Tou shook his head, and couldn't help sighing: "This nightmare is a bit complicated. Now even the owner of the nightmare can't be found."

Ye Lan said indifferently: "That's how it is. Do you think this nightmare will be very simple? If it is really simple, then it cannot be the ultimate nightmare we are looking for."

Cun Tou hurriedly said, "What you said makes sense."

Ye Lan ignored his flattery, she was originally cold, but now she is more focused on this nightmare.

She turned to say: "Go ahead and ask a few more people, maybe we can verify our ideas."

Saying that, she continued to walk forward.

Cun Tou followed her footsteps, but couldn't help grimacing. He thought, he doesn't want to encounter that kind of san-destroying scene again...
