Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Sister Mawei seized the time before the next wave of doll hunts and ran to the bookstore quickly, rushing over like the wind.

The wind that came up when she ran by blew all the newspapers on the counter.

She stopped, panting, and squatted a little embarrassedly to pick up the newspapers. She inadvertently glanced at the contents of the newspaper, but suddenly she was taken aback.

She looked at Xu Beijin and asked, "Boss, do you have an earlier newspaper?"

"A little earlier?"

"For example..." Mawei sister said, "The newspaper when the boss's daughter next door disappeared."

Xu Bei was taken aback, and said, "That should be the newspaper more than two months ago. I don't know if it has been saved... You can find it." He pointed to the cabinet under the shelf, "It's all in there. ."

Sister Mawei hesitated, and finally bent over to open the cabinet and searched for the newspaper. She felt that since these newspapers were placed here and even had various detailed contents on them, they must be meaningful.

Xu Beijin also walked around the counter to help find them together.

Ringo stood outside the door, as if to give them the wind.

The large stacks of newspapers in the cabinet were arranged in a very neat chronological order, which made the Mawei sister look for it for a while, and then cheered: "Found it!"

Xu Bei thought with all his heart, he is not such an organized person...then thank the mastermind.

The layout of the scenes in these nightmares is actually the responsibility of the main brain, not the real nightmare of the residents of narrow buildings. So Mawei's idea is very reasonable.

Since these newspapers exist, there is a reason for their existence, rather than appearing for no reason.

This is a local newspaper. The main content is to report some important local news and chronicles. Sister Mawei took out one of the newspapers and fixed her eyes on the content of the first page.

"The young girl of the doll shop has mysteriously disappeared. Please pay attention to the special circumstances around you!"

This is the news reporting Xiaochun's disappearance!

"...

"The reporter has learned that the missing girl is named Wu Xiaochun, who is only six years old.

"Two days ago, she mysteriously disappeared in the doll shop at her home. As the nearby surveillance video did not capture her disappearance, and no suspicious persons were found, the police investigation was at a deadlock.

"‘We don’t rule out the situation where the little girl gets lost by herself.’ A police officer said, ‘so, I hope everyone can actively provide clues to help us find this young girl.’

"Wu Xiaochun's parents also asked reporters and this newspaper for help, hoping to attract the attention of residents and collect more clues.

"During the interview, the parents couldn't cry. "Xiaochun is a very cute and caring child. I can't imagine what she would encounter outside alone." Wu Xiaochun's mother was crying with red eyes, "If you are kind If anyone finds Xiaochun's whereabouts or knows any clues, please tell us! Xiaochun, hurry back to your parents.'

"Here, this newspaper also published a recent photo of Wu Xiaochun, a missing girl. If readers and residents find any clues, please contact this newspaper as soon as possible, or contact the police and Wu Xiaochun's parents directly. The contact method is: xxx.

"..."

Sister Mawei looked at the photo of Wu Xiaochun printed in color in the newspaper.

It was a cute little girl with a pair of ponytails, a little timid innocence in her smile, transparent eyes, and likable.

Sister Mawei couldn't help thinking, would anyone really do anything to such a little girl? How is that different from a beast? But if it was the little girl who got lost by herself, after so many days, would there be no clues or witnesses?

and…

Sister Mawei took a closer look at this brief news report, especially the description of Wu Xiaochun's parents.

Wrote Wu Xiaochun’s mother but not her father... Why? This shows that the reporter's performance was even more impressive for the mother, but the father did not? Explain that the mother showed more grief and suffering?

Is it just because the newspaper needs an image of a desperate woman and a mother, to spur the pity and sympathy of readers, and to better mobilize the power of the citizens?

If it’s the latter, it’s fine, but if it’s the former, it doesn’t match the information they have been getting.

Whether it’s the diary or letter found on the second floor of the doll shop, the conversation with Wu Shen, or the news obtained from the bookstore owner, they all say that the attitude of the proprietress after her daughter’s disappearance seems a bit too sensible and indifferent...

No, the bookstore owner actually said that Wu Xiaochun's mother still spoils her daughter, and will make a detour to buy snacks for her daughter after get off work.

Why is there such a difference?

What is the reason for this difference...?

Inexplicably, an aura flashed in the heart of Mawei girl again, but as before, she still couldn't figure it out.

Why…

She was thinking, and Ringo who was standing at the door suddenly said, "The doll is chasing me."

Sister Mawei regained her senses abruptly and couldn't help cursing: "Damn it!"

She hasn't talked to the bookstore owner yet!

But the situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to think about it. She threw the newspaper on the shelf and ran out quickly. She didn't dare to be stuck in a small bookstore like last time, unable to move, and was directly blocked by the dolls.

If there is another time... she can't help but think, maybe she can use the item card?

However, the number of item cards is scarce, the sources are also few, and there are restrictions on the number of times they can be used. Things that are too precious like this are always unwilling to use.

Faced with the chase of the dolls like this, if it can be solved by running, that would be great. But she was faintly worried.

It’s the sixth time for the nightmare to start again. The doll hunt has been so crazy and brutal; and if they still can’t find the truth and solve this nightmare in a short time... Then what will happen to the dolls in the next reboot What about the mutation?

Sister Mawei couldn't believe what the taskers had said before.

The previous questers said that they only need to escape the dolls' chase and kill in a row to achieve a normal ending and leave the nightmare.

To reach the true ending, you can go to a higher floor; to achieve a normal ending, you can only stick to the original floor, but this is better than perpetually sinking into a nightmare.

But... can they really escape the chasing of the dolls? It might be possible now, but what about restarting later?

Among the information they know, is there anything they have overlooked, or is it that they have not discovered any key information?

Sister Mawei ran hard, she could only hope that she could find something when she went to the Kong Jing and the spectacle man on the second floor of the doll shop again.

So did they find it?

Now Xu Beijin is watching the action of the man with the barge and the glasses man through the live broadcast room, and he can tell the Mawei girl very frankly that you are probably disappointed.

The audience in the live broadcast room exclaimed: "These two people live in the same room, so I really embarrass them."

Yes, the two people have not been in a match since the beginning. Although they are acting together now, they have no meaning of cooperation. They are all doing their own things.

There was even a fight at first.

Kong Jing said to go to the last room on the second floor first, and the man in glasses said to go to Wu Shen first.

Kong Jing said that the time limit for the girl's doll to go crazy and kill is five minutes, which is enough time for them to go to the mysterious studio for a round. And if you went to Wu Shen first, then Wu Shen would definitely not let them go to the studio.

The man with glasses said, why are you sure Wu Shen won't let them go? Moreover, they should first confirm whether the disappearance of the girl’s doll is related to the appearance of Wu Shen. If it can be confirmed, then they can come and go freely on the second floor.

The Kong Jing almost instinctively went back: "How are you sure that if you go to Wu Shen, this doll will definitely disappear? The only safe period we have now is these five minutes."

Spectacle man... Spectacle man was persuaded.

Although this guy Kong Jing has almost no position, he said before that he would go to Wu Shen, and now he insists on going to the studio first, but I have to say that his words also have some truth.

Yes, it is said that the disappearance of girls' dolls is a problem they have not been able to figure out. They cannot use this problem to gamble on a chance. This is the sixth time the nightmare has begun.

Thinking of this, the man with glasses couldn't help complaining again about the tasker who was directly frightened and forced to retreat.

If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have given it for nothing the first two times...

The two reached an agreement and skipped Wu Shen's room and walked directly to the room on the left at the end of the corridor.

The door seemed to have not been opened for a long time. When the man with glasses stretched out his hand to open it, the hinge of the door made an overwhelming howl of pain. The sound was so loud that the two of them turned their heads to look at the room where Wu Shen was asleep. , For fear of awakening the doll shop owner directly.

Fortunately, they waited for two seconds and didn't hear any sound, so they all breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at this mysterious studio.

The area of ​​the studio is not large, it may be about ten square meters in total.

The main area is a huge wooden workbench. Obviously, it has been used for a long time. The color of the tabletop has become a deep brown-black, as if it has been smeared with various paints and glues, and it looks slimy and dirty.

On the right hand side of the workbench, there is a shelf as high as the ceiling, on which various doll parts and making tools are placed. The heads of several dolls were just there, uncolored, as pale as skeletons. Before the glass beads were put in the eye sockets, he looked at the two people who came in so hollowly.

The spectacle man took a step back subconsciously and almost bumped into Kong Jing's body. The empty eye sockets reminded him once again of the fear of being cut out by a girl's doll.

Gang Jing wanted to avoid the spectacle man who suddenly backed down, but he accidentally kicked the trash can and made a muffled noise.

He was taken aback and looked down, but suddenly found that there was a mess of paper full of words in the overturned trash can. He subconsciously reached out and took it out, flipping through it.

It was actually some torn letters and draft paper, which were still crumpled into a ball. What was written on the rotten paper was already a little illegible.

Unfolding the bar, carefully inspected it.

"You're a... lunatic..." He read the words he had recognized unconsciously, "...I made a mistake..."

At this moment, the man with glasses also turned around, saw the large pile of paper, frowned, and squatted down to check.

Just at this time…

"What are you...what are you doing?!"

When they found the pile of torn letters in the studio on the second floor of the doll shop, the shadow of the door suddenly fell. Wu Shen didn't know when, but he was already standing there, looking at them with horror and anger.
