Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

The first and second basement floors are full of food, the first floor is cosmetics and clothing, the second and third floors are clothing and food, and the fourth floor is a cinema and gym. When Xu Beijin reached the fourth floor, he turned around outside the cinema, his eyes stopped on the movie posters pasted on the wall.

... The sleeping memory is slowly waking up. That really seemed to be the few hit movies that were playing in the theater before he entered the narrow building.

In the movie theater, the actors shuttled back and forth. Everything is like yesterday.

Holding a cup of milk tea, Xu Beijin stared at the scene in a daze. Then, he walked in uncontrollably.

"Hello... Hey, why is it you again?"

Behind the popcorn counter, a familiar face brought Xu Bei back to his senses.

That is Dai Wu. He is working as a cashier again.

There are at least hundreds of actors in this nightmare, and Xu Beijin is not surprised to meet familiar people. However, he still cautiously changed the sound source from his side to the tasker's side, lest the conversation with Dai Wu reveal anything.

The audience in the live broadcast room didn't respond, probably thinking that Xu Beijin met a player he knew, so he wanted to talk privately. Viewers still respect the privacy of anchors.

However, even though the audience was very considerate, even though he met acquaintances, Xu Beijin was not in high spirits, so when Dai Wu greeted him, he just said flatly and politely: "Meet you again."

Dai Wu looked at him strangely, and said, "Aren't you wondering what happened to this nightmare again?"

Xu Bei was silent for a moment in embarrassment.

Can he say that he actually just wants to re-experience the feeling of wandering around the earth? Drinking milk tea, watching movies... Although he was a single dog from the beginning to the end, from the earth to the narrow building, at least his life on the earth was comfortable and comfortable.

Narrow building...

Ha ha.

Who wants to live without hope?

Therefore, seeing such a bustling and bustling business district in front of him, even though he knew it was an illusion, Xu Beijin allowed himself to immerse himself in it for a while, coupled with the noisy barrage of the audience in the live broadcast room, as if this could drive him away loneliness in the soul.

Moreover, apart from nightmares, there seems to be no other way to experience this feeling.

As for the nightmare itself, it seems that no useful information can be obtained when the taskers are trapped in their respective apartments.

So, facing Dai Wu's question, Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, then nodded, but he added: "If you still don't tell me like the last nightmare, then just pretend I didn't."

Dai Wu couldn't help laughing: "Brother, you still hold grudges." He shrugged, "But this time I really don't know. In this nightmare, I'm just a small extra."

Xu Beijin looked at him suspiciously.

"Trust me, buddy." Dai Wu said, "Although my level is a supporting role, this nightmare requires too many actors, so I just came here to be an extra performer."

Xu Beijin nodded dubiously, his eyes slipped down again, looking at the popcorn in the glass cabinet, he was about to move for a while. This sweet aroma has been lingering on the tip of his nose for a long time.

Xu Beijin is aware of a psychological effect called the Proust effect, which refers to the fact that smells can awaken certain memories in the human brain, which are more vivid than memories awakened by other senses.

Although there is no very complete scientific basis to explain this phenomenon, at least at this time when Xu Beijin smelled the sweet smell of popcorn, he remembered that on earth, when he went to a movie theater with his friends, he would definitely buy it. Serve a cup of popcorn.

However, by the end of the movie, he may not be able to finish eating.

That is too long a memory. But at this time, just like the almost real scene of the Earth's business district in the nightmare, his awakened memory seems to bring him back to the earth again.

Dai Wu said, "Want to eat?"

Xu Beijin hesitated for a moment, then nodded honestly. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I want to recall it."

"Earth?" Dai Wuyong shoveled a cup of popcorn with a shovel, and handed it to Xu Beijin, "Eat whatever you want. Have you tried the fudge I gave you last time? It's quite delicious. Now those things on the earth, at most It’s ironic that I can recall it in my nightmare.”

When he mentioned "sarcasm", his tone was light and airy, not serious at all, which made Xu Beijin somewhat uncomfortable.

He ran out of milk tea, so he threw the plastic cup in the trash and ate it while holding the popcorn bucket. He is used to eating one by one, carefully and slowly.

Xu Beijin praised it and said, "It tastes pretty good."

Dai Wu showed a slightly strange expression, he said: "It's rare to see you like this, do you still miss life on Earth?"

Xu Beijin took two mouthfuls in silence. He didn't want to face this question, so he changed the subject abruptly: "Do you regard the narrow building as your second life?"

"Yes." Dai Wu probably saw that Xu Bei didn't want to talk about this topic at all, so he continued to follow his question, "The thing is, no one knows whether we can leave the damn narrow building, so... Just lie back and enjoy. In this game world, there are actually more possibilities than in the real world, isn’t it?”
