Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

So at this moment, when the fog spread, they began to feel uncontrollably panic and uneasy.

Why does such fog appear in the ultimate nightmare? Are there madmen in the fog? Could they be in danger that they don't even know they are in?

Tension and fear appeared simultaneously with the gray fog.

The next moment, it's the door.

"This is impossible!"

When Fei saw the door in the gray mist, she almost blurted out these words.

Beside her, Jiang Shuangmei looked at the door in disbelief.

She swallowed, and there was a hint of uneasy anticipation in her expression compared to the fear of other missionaries. She said: "Is that what you said...the...door in the gray mist?"

Fei didn't notice Jiang Shuangmei's expression. She bit her lip, leaving deep white bite marks on her lips. She hesitated and said, "Yes... yes... it should be so."

"If you enter this door, you can meet the missionaries who were immersed in nightmares before?"

"Yes. No... wait, what do you want to do?" Fei suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Jiang Shuangmei in shock, "Are you... do you want to find your sister?"

Jiang Shuangmei was silent.

Not long ago, when she had just entered this nightmare and had not yet met Fei...she met her sister.

This nightmare was a figment of her imagination, a shadow from the past.

Jiang Shuangmei looked at her sister in confusion. For a moment, she wondered if she was dreaming - no, she was indeed dreaming, or even a nightmare. But she didn't expect to meet her sister in this nightmare.

She even felt that her sister looked a little strange.

Obviously they haven't been separated for long, and they obviously have the same face and appearance, but she feels that she doesn't recognize her sister.

Then she realized that because this was the Earth before they entered the narrow building.

So of course this isn't her sister.

This is just...just a narrow building, just an illusory shadow created by this nightmare for her. A false, wrong, disgusting, a substitute.

But she still looked at her sister with nostalgia.

In their homes. She heard her parents calling them to eat.

Jiang Shuangmei's eyes were fixed on her sister, and then she looked at her father and mother.

She cried and backed away. She was reluctant to look away from them, and the concerned and confused expressions on their faces made Jiang Shuangmei completely heartbroken.

She said: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, sister. I'm sorry, I was wrong at that time. I should have listened to you... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I couldn't live well with my sister..."

She cried and apologized. She was so broken that she wanted to kneel down and cry into her arms. She realized in a daze that she had not even been able to cry like this when her sister disappeared, but now she was crying like this in front of a strange and false shadow.

But her sister wouldn't want her to cry like this.

Jiang Shuangmei thought in her heart.

She knew this, she knew it was a scam.

The purpose of the ultimate nightmare is to sink her into such illusory warmth. Family, family ties, the past, everything is fine, they are trying their best to pull her over and let her get lost in it forever.

But... Jiang Shuangmei murmured: "I'm sorry... but my sister is waiting for me."

Sister Jiang was waiting for her. Wait for her in that cold, mechanized elevator.

Jiang Shuangmei walked backward step by step. Finally, her back leaned against the cold doorframe.

The fake sister Jiang looked at her, tenderly, worriedly, and comforting her.

But what Jiang Shuangmei was thinking about was that the last time she was with her sister, the same situation happened. But at that time, her back was turned to Sister Jiang.

Pain and self-loathing welled up inside her again.

Her hand fumbled behind her back and found the doorknob.

She cried until her voice became hoarse, but she still kept apologizing, and her facial features were twisted into a ball, which made her three false relatives feel strange. She heard them muttering to themselves about why they were crying like this.

And why apologize?

This question in turn questioned Jiang Shuangmei herself.

She took a deep breath, wiped her tears, said "I'm sorry" one last time, and then said: "We should meet at another place and at another time. Not here."

She looked at these shadows from the past and smelled the familiar aroma of food.

She said: "Goodbye..."

She finally left without any regrets. She didn't turn around until the door slowly closed. She never dared to turn around and say goodbye again.

She walked around in her neighborhood for a while, then left the neighborhood and walked onto the main road. Soon after, she met Fei.

Fei came from another road.

Among the companions gathered by missionaries such as Mu Jiashi and Ding Yi, Fei may be an important person but does not have much sense of presence.

Just like her name, it's just a code name, not a real name.

The same is true for Wu Jian, but Wu Jian feels... much more real than Fei.

Jiang Shuangmei didn't leave much impression on Fei.
