Being an Extra Actor Volume 5 - Ch 86.1

A billion question marks fill the screen on the stream.

the aircon is bleeding??

seriously, did whoever install the furniture in that nightmare with sentient furniture co around or sothing?

im confused why the blood is coming out from there

I have a guess that would be hard to verify. This maybe be how the Janitors deal with their trash Using the ventilation shafts as their garbage chute

!! what the dalao said makes sense!

but could there really possibly be that much blood

maybe the entire building had the ventilation shafts modified for um, automatic trash disposal

this still makes

feel like its the nightmares special fx? maybe the nightmare owner subconsciously made this creepy scene

agreed! I definitely cant bear if the real world had sothing similar

its just a ga lol [laugh cry emoji]

After so enthusiastic discussion, the viewers turn to less heavy topics. Though neither Jiang Shuangi nor Wu Jian can feel at all at ease with this scene right in front of their eyes.

After a brief silence, Jiang Shuangi takes a deep breath to say, lets go, and see the other floors. I doubt anything useful remains here.

They keep heading up.

Wu Jian cant help but ask, where do you think all that blood could co from?

Honestly? Jiang Shuangi says, I think the Nightmares owner might be completely insane.

Wu Jian is visibly surprised.

Jiang Shuangi explains, we know that this is her Nightmare, right? So whatever scene is in play here is based on her mories. So this might simply be because she is delusional.

Wu Jians mouth is twitching, even if he cant find any words to retort.

It is true that this Nightmare still ultimately belonged to the Tower resident. Sotis, when Missiontakers interact with Nightmare owners, they couldeven trigger changesin the Nightmare itself.

That said

Wu Jian looks back at the red glass on the door to the 22ndfloor.

He wonders what kind of mory or delusion could make a Nightmare owner recreate such a terrifying scene in turn.

There was blood spewing from every corner of the floor, flooding it entirely.

If the Nightmares owner is the little girls mother, then did she experience it herself, or could it be related to what she rember of her child?

If the Nightmares owner is the little girl herself, what kind of dismal experience could have contributed to leaving such a deep impression on such a young child?

What if the Nightmares owner is so other person?

Wu Jian is shuddering and decides against thinking any deeper.

This building is full of mories of madness and desperation. Perhaps not only having belonged to the Nightmares owner, but this is sothing reflecting what has befallen all the survivors and casualties of this apocalypse.

After the last conflicted glance at the 22ndfloor, he climbs up to the 23rdfloor alongside Jiang Shuangi.

The floor contains nothing unusual, neither dangers nor elevators. Its also entirely deserted.

The two of them are able to calm back down.

Theyve gone to the 24thfloor the first run already, so their next target is the 25th. That is when Jiang Shuangi pauses to tell Wu Jian, its almost an hour now.

Wu Jian gets it, and says, should we stop here? He cant help but wonder, nobody would die from it this ti, right?

Jiang Shuangi shrugs and says, who knows? Lets just hope nobody has such bad luck.

They wait in the stairwell for a while, and finally, a rumbling sound can be heard coming from the floors above, alongside moderate shaking. Sothing is clearly collapsing.

It takes about thirty seconds for the movents to subside.

Jiang Shuangi and Wu Jian look at each other; the Nightmare doesnt restart, and so, sighing in relief, Jiang Shuangi says, lets go. Well keep going up.

Wu Jian nods and follows her.

Along the way, the silence gets to Wu Jian, who speaks up, where do you think the rest of the elevators might be?

What I think? Jiang Shuangi says, never mind elevator One, but elevators Two and Three were both on the 20-sothing floors. So I suspect the rest would be distributed below, not far away.

On the 10s? Wu Jian says, there might be elevators below the 9thfloor still.

Jiang Shuangi dryly replies, who knows.

Shes quite disinterested in the awkward banter, but Wu Jian seems to cope pretty badly with the suffocating silence. Fortunately, they have reached the 26thfloor now.

Jiang Shuangi is thinking that, it seems the dangers from the 20thto the 30thfloor are still largely manageable

Yet the mont they push open the door to the 26thfloor, they see countless eyes suddenly point to their way, as their blood-drenched owners suddenly starts yelling at the top of their lungs.

Nobody can tell what theyre speaking, but they imdiately rush for Jiang Shuangi and Wu Jian, who are standing at the door, like a wave.

Fucking hell! Jiang Shuangi cusses, the madn are on the 26thfloor!

They imdiately turn to retreat, but it is too late.

The lunatics have grabbed them.

Jiang Shuangi and Wu Jian have their hands twisted to a knot behind them. Then the bloody people dragged the panicking Missiontakers to the restroom of the floor.

It has been modified into a cleaning closet already, with lots of clothes and plastic buckets placed within.

Bloody clothes are forced onto the two Missiontakers, alongside a plastic bucket each. Then they are shoved by the other lunatics to stand underneath each of the air conditioning vents.

They stand there in silence, as if waiting for sothing.

It might really be insufficient to simply call these madn lunatics, because their faces look so serene with such a fanatically pious expression. They seem to be boundlessly ecstatic about what they are doing.

Jiang Shuangi is making eyes at Wu Jian. She doesnt know if he can read her, but Jiang Shuangi is feeling pretty scared right now, though she knows better than to act rashly.

Also, this is a chance to see what these madn really are doing.

She recalls the formation of the sea of blood down on the 22ndfloor, and cant help but wonder, with goosebumps and chills, whether the lunatics could be waiting for the blood to co, and then use it to shower?

Well, nothing that happens in the building can surprise her anymore

A while later, Jiang Shuangi suddenly hears an odd noise coming from the ceiling.

Almost imdiately, the madn besides her co to life. They form a human ladder, with the topmost person moving the flaps for the conditioning unit out of the way with calculated, professional motions.

Then, Jiang Shuangi can hear a dragging sound coming from the vents.

The noise must be enchanted sohow, as Jiang Shuangis consciousness is now drifting. Suddenly, the world seems to have refreshed itself. So kind of knowledge, information, or instinct has overtaken her

She picks up the plastic bucket she put on the ground earlier.

Her vision shows that opposite her, Wu Jian looks similarly dazed, while picking up his own plastic bucket in silence.

A mangled corpse drops out of the vent, sohow.

Jiang Shuangi, Wu Jian, like the other Janitors, robotically and chanically moves forward and picks up the pieces without delay, putting separate pieces of human material into their own plastic buckets.

Then, they hand the plastic buckets to others.

The others take the plastic buckets off-cara, while the two of them stand there, holding new and empty plastic buckets, to wait for the next wave of garbage.
