Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

He took the milk tea and went back to the bookstore.

There was no such strange look in the bookstore.

In fact... Xu Beijin suddenly realized that in the bookstore, he didn't see any electrical appliances at all.

Wooden bookshelves and counters, old antique books, mottled and peeling walls... There is no TV, no air conditioner, and no common household appliances.

The only thing that can be called electricity is a single light bulb on the ceiling. But he couldn't even find the switch to control the light bulb. It seemed that the purpose of setting up the light in the nightmare was just to create a scary atmosphere.

Xu Beijin sensed the strangeness of the matter. He casually put the milk tea on the counter and walked around the bookstore. He couldn't find any useful information.

In the first two nightmares, he had newspapers in his bookstore, but this time he didn't. The bookstore is full of dirty old books, some of which are even blurred.

But there was something odd about it.

Xu Bei stared deeply at this antique bookstore. The bookstore, he thought, lacked the information on nightmares, but it was like a... a safe house.

According to the information obtained so far, the danger in this nightmare comes from those sophisticated household appliances. By the way, there are other facilities. But no matter what, it's an electrified thing anyway.

And in his bookstore, there are no such electrical appliances. The only thing that is powered is a small light bulb. Even if this light bulb can become jing, what can it do? Blow yourself up to kill with shards of glass?

In any case, the bookstore doesn't look dangerous.

For the taskers, they will inevitably come to the business district to look for clues; and at that time, the electrical appliances on the business district will definitely start attacking them. Nightmare doesn't give an unsolvable problem, so they must have a way to dodge those attacks.

"...That's why there is a safe house." Xu Beijin murmured in a low voice, "This kind of safe house cannot be the only one."

He is so sure because he is the owner of this bookstore, but he is actually just a cosplayer. It sounds a little weird if something like a safe house belongs to an extra.

Thinking, he glanced at the time.

Twenty minutes had passed since the nightmare restarted.

So Xu Beijin left the bookstore again without hesitation, focusing on the bookstore, and began to look for a "safe house" similar to his antique bookstore.

Twenty minutes later, he found three.

They are a handicraft store that makes pottery, a clothing store that sells second-hand clothing, and a retail store that sells tobacco, alcohol and tea. The locations are all near his bookstore, or in other words, around the open-air plaza on the basement level.

...Xu Beijin doubts whether the missionaries will be able to find these safe houses, especially in a panic.

Perhaps other locations in the business district will have safe houses, but there is a high probability that there will be no safe houses inside. After all, there is a central air conditioner inside. If it is outside the building, then it is only along the street and near the open square.

The only problem is that the taskers seem to have not realized what went wrong with this nightmare.

At least judging from the pictures in the live broadcast room, Xu Beijin found that, except for Jiang Shuangmei, who had an accident before, the rest of the taskers were still not at all wary of those smart furniture.

Xu Beijin confirmed the location of each safe house, then walked through the open-air plaza—bought another cup of milk tea by the way, planning to drink it later—and returned to the bookstore again.

All his actions were recorded by the camera in the live broadcast room, and all kinds of curious barrages had already been flying across the public screen, all asking what Xu Beijin was doing.

To be honest, this live broadcast has continued until now, but it is actually quite boring. The taskers were trapped in the apartment for an hour at a time, and they had to do this every time the nightmare restarted; and Xu Beijin was not a very good anchor to enliven the atmosphere.

However, he is handsome.

So the audience has a lot of patience with Xu Beijin very realistically.

It wasn't until Xu Beijin returned to the bookstore that he fully explained his actions just now.

He said: "Since there is a safe house, it means that when the taskers come to the business district, they will definitely face very serious dangers. Besides..." He pondered for a moment, and then said a question that he had been worrying about for a long time , "This nightmare has not provided any available information."

According to the general development of nightmares, when it comes to the second round of nightmares, taskers will often encounter residents of narrow buildings who can provide information, or find other written materials. In short, they should not be for nothing.

But now these missionaries have encountered such a dilemma.

Seven people were scattered in seven rooms. For the first hour of the nightmare, they couldn't join. Moreover, even after an hour passed, they could try to rendezvous, but the danger in the apartment seemed to be on another level.

This is a bit annoying.

In the live broadcast room, the audience also echoed.

"That's right. In the previous nightmare, by the second round, the players knew that the man in black had killed someone in the bedroom. By the third round, they directly solved the mystery of the counting. But this time Nightmare... I can't see that the player has obtained any useful information."
