Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

This man was so excited and frightened that he was almost incoherent, but his meaning was clearly conveyed to Mu Jiashi and Shen Yunju.

The expressions of the two missionaries changed almost immediately.

The man begged: "Please, my colleagues don't believe me. They want me to stay in the bakery. I finally escaped..."

He showed his bloody calf, "They cut my leg..."

Behind him, someone was already chasing him out of the bakery.

Mu Jiashi made a quick decision and grabbed the man's arm, while Shen Yunju grabbed the other one. The two of them pulled and pulled the man away.

They ran for a moment. It was a cloudy day in this area, and the sky was gloomy. After a while, they stopped outside the wall of a residential area.

The man thanked him profusely and grimaced in pain because of the wound on his leg.

Makiashi looked at this person. This was the first mission worker they had encountered who was still awake since they entered this nightmare... or the actor?

This was a young man in his twenties. His appearance was unremarkable, but Maki was deeply impressed by the panic and fear this man had when he escaped from the bakery.

He asked: "So when you opened your eyes in the ultimate nightmare, you were in that bakery? Why didn't you leave immediately?"

The man smiled bitterly: "I just... didn't react. I knew the ultimate nightmare, but I didn't know that the ultimate nightmare would be like this and make us... go back to the past."

He was silent for a moment, with various complicated emotions flashing across his face.

Then, he continued: "My colleague happened to ask me to make bread, and then I listened in a daze, and I was scolded a few times for doing it poorly..."

Makiashi frowned, not wanting to listen to these meaningless narratives. He asked: "When did you realize that something was wrong?"

"It's the atmosphere." The man said, "They all behaved strangely, very focused... to the point of being focused to the point of being wrong. It made me feel like they were in love with bread...

"I felt like I was getting goosebumps, and then I said I wanted to leave. But they didn't want to, saying how could I get off work early, no... I'm sorry about the bread... and so on.

"Then I just wanted to leave, and someone picked up a knife and slashed my leg, saying that I couldn't leave... I was really scared. Do you understand that feeling?

"Originally, the aroma in the bakery made me feel very comfortable and made me like that place. But... but in an instant, the smell of blood woke me up.

"I just...escaped. They were all trying to stop me, but I didn't dare to stay any longer."

His face slowly showed a strange confusion, and he murmured: "I think if I stay a little longer, I will like the smell in the bakery like they do... and the soft feeling of bread." …

"Like...obsessed...love deeply..."

he muttered.

Makiashi interrupted him calmly: "I understand."

The man looked stunned for a long time, then his face changed, and he said in horror again: "What happened to me just now?! Damn it, haven't I gotten rid of the influence of that place? Crazy...crazy, it's already infected. Did you kill me?"

he whispered in fear.

Shen Yunju frowned and said to Mu Jiashi: "This means that we can't even stay in a certain place for a long time, right? A certain place means crazy immersion..."

Mu Jiashi said: "Do you still remember the scene where He Shujun and the goddess went to in Xu Beijin's nightmare?

Ruin exploration... seems to be the name. Those who explore crazy ruins will bring out the madness in the ruins. "

Shen Yunju whispered: "It's almost like a virus."

The man opposite them looked at them in horror and confusion.

Makishi pondered for a moment, and then asked him: "Are you a taskmaster or an actor?"

"Missioner, I am the missioner." The man said quickly, "Who are the actors? Those residents of the narrow buildings?"

Makiashi did not answer his question, but said: "Now that you are safe, let's separate."

The man hesitated to speak, but finally agreed.

Makiashi told him: "Don't stay in one place for a long time, avoid other people, try to stay sober and rational, and don't... be infected by madness."

The man nodded vigorously.

Shen Yunju followed Mu Jiashi away. When the man could no longer be seen, he said, "Why don't you act with that man?" He paused, "You are still worried..."

"He has been infected by madness." Makashi's tone was very cold. "Maybe he can still stay awake at this moment, but he will be completely crazy the next moment. We can't always act with such a person."

Shen Yunju hesitated to speak, but finally nodded silently.

He looked at Mikashi and thought, yes - Mikashi has always been like this.

Sober, rational, and cold. He can make the most appropriate choice, even if the matter seems cruel.

When Makiashi told that person to avoid other people, perhaps the other person was thinking that he had to avoid those crazy people. But he may not have thought that he would soon become a madman.
