X Beijin thinks that this is unrealistic.
Before entering the Nightmare, he did imagine if he would end up Acting in it.
The Nightmares he end up having workdays in is pretty random, dependent on the Servers arrangents. Ever since he picked up that streaming system, though, the Nightmares he end up in seem to have fallen into so regular pattern.
Like the last Nightmare with the elevators, which X Beijin asked Dai Wu to help promote and arouse the Missiontakers interests. He wasnt expecting to end up inside of it.
Yet it ended up with him Acting inside nonetheless.
Now, he is in this Nightmare.
Huh, why is NE starting to fulfil the players wishes?
That is impossible.
Sothing must be wrong.
How could NE be taking action benefiting him? How could he let an Actor enter any Nightmare he was wishing to?
Yet it happened like that So, whats wrong with NE?
Even earlier, when the news of soone has left the Tower successfully and the Ultimate Nightmare was making the rounds, X Beijin has already concluded this can do nothing but revitalise the Missiontakers.
There would certainly have been a higher possibility of them stumbling out of the Tower like that, you know? Its not unheard of for things like this to go awry.
So then, who spread this news?
All the ruckus but not a single Missiontaker managed to work out the source of the rumours.
So it can only be NE.
NE is the ghost inhabiting this Tower.
Why did it do that? Why spread such rumours, why allow them to spread like so?
Why have Su Enya returned to the bottom floor? As the neighbour of X Beijin again? Alongside the Nightmare she dragged along with her?
It is really as if NE is helping X Beijin.
Impossible.
Why would NE do that?
X Beijin, sitting there with his poker face, finds the whole affair damned unamusing.
Everyone assus NE is the eyes of whoever was behind it all, so kind of omnipresent overseer, but from what he can ascertain, NE is even secretly nudging Missiontakers and Actors along at least, in helping them recognise the truth.
He sighs, find his thoughts going nowhere, and his mind tiring out.
He knows a lot, but he also does not know much. He does not know what NE is like, or what the world outside the Tower is like right now. All the years theyve spent in the Tower could an that nothing has remained the sa.
Yes. It may even have been a long enough ti that, even NE is deviating from his set programming.
Perhaps
X Beijin is seriously contemplating if it is the mont to open up his Nightmare to the Missiontakers.
It would probably be quite the farcical scene, too. Everyone assus his Nightmare must hold so kind of amazing secret, but that Well, its not the kind of big secret they were hoping for, thats for certain
It is simply, a Nightmare relating to Nightmares.
And by opening up his Nightmare it is more accurate to say that, he wants to enter his own Nightmare. There is a necessity, he believes, to enact attempts and changes. Or at the very least, he needs to confirm sothing.
NE
The light in X Beijins eyes is flickering like a candle in the wind. It is deep and unreadable.
But if he really is to enter his own Nightmare, then hell definitely need so suitable personnel Just him, or just him and Lin Qin, could never do it.
X Beijin thinks so more, before abandoning them altogether, to focus on the stream; he has already opened up the stream, and the viewers are quickly popping in.
hey Beibei!
Beibeis been streaming more often lately, nice!
quietly admires Beibeis handso face
oh fuck off! Beibeis handso face is all mine, mine!
fuck you off! its the little apples!
What kind of Nightmare are we looking at today, Beibei?
The detective dalaos question finally drags the atmosphere of the whole stream back to normal.
X Beijin thinks about it, and smiles to say, if I tell you anything, itll already be spoilers.
uwu i actually wanna be spoiled
but the detective dalao doesnt
oh well I dont have a brain anyway, good luck detective dalao!
X Beijin reads the comnts rolling past with a smile, before looking over at the list of locations on the right to focus the cara on soone.
Then, he finds himself staring at the nas of the Missiontakers.
Mu Jiashi. Fei. Wu Jian. Lin Qin. Ding Yi.
What kind of insider ga is this?!
Well, the four remaining nas he doesnt recognise, but the fact that he knows five of them is enough to make X Beijin speechless.
He shakes his head at this. He would wager that Fei, Wu Jian, and probably Mu Jiashi as well, would not be too far away from the truth after going through this Nightmare.
That said Ding Yi?
Whys she back at the bottom floor again? What happened to her on the higher floors?
X Beijin feels curious about her as he switches the cara over to them. Currently, the nine of them are all assembled on the block near the library.
Compared to how there was a post-apocalyptic ruins and an Apocalypse in progress the last two Nightmares, this ti, the city looks distinctly pre-apocalyptic and bustling.
It seems to be a hot sumr day with how much the cicadas are singing on the tall trees growing by the roadside. The ground is scorched from the burning sun, but so people would break the peace.
Every so often, so people who look hysterical would rush from so place to sowhere else.
The nine Missiontakers all look sowhat unsettled appearing at the intersection of so road facing this scene.
The sumr heat has them sweating profusely very soon enough.
Mu Jiashi brushes the sweat on his forehead away as he examines the rest of the Missiontakers.
He ca here with Fei and Wu Jian, so hes not surprised to see them here; in fact, it is Lin Qin who is surprising him a little, since the dalao is usually pretty random in whether or not and what Nightmare he goes to.
The other Missiontakers he doesnt know.
Save for Ding Yi?
Mu Jiashis gaze stops montarily on her, as the woman with the grue-coloured hair also looks back at him calmly, nodding to greet him.
What? Why? Hows Ding Yi back on the bottom floor?
She abandoned everything she ever worked for on the bottom floor so that she can ascend; now shes back?
Mu Jiashi has a hard ti understanding what this ex-billionaire is thinking.
Then he checks out the four Missiontakers he doesnt know; they presumably chose to co here based on the latest rumour of the bottom floor of the Tower.
The rumours relate to a new Nightmare.
It should be noted that having this new rumour circulating on the bottom floor, like,again, Mu Jiashi cant help but wonder where these ss of rumours co from. And are they, the Missiontakers, seriously busting their asses chasing location after location for all these unverifiable hearsay?
Though when he learned the content of the rumour, and investigated himself, he was in full shock.
He realised, this Nightmare it, its the exact Nightmare he t on a higher floor in the Tower!
What in the world?!
He imdiately suspects that Su Enya is involved Actually, she is definitely involved sohow.
Yet, when he tried looking for her again, he finds out that she has gone missing.
That mont, Mu Jiashi only felt an inconsolable fear take over him. The fact that Su Enya is missing seem to be so kind of premonition; so kind of invisible hand seem to be tucking at the strings of fate behind the scenes, pushing everything to go forward.
The question is, would the owner of this hand, harbour goodwill? Or ill will?
When he was worried and planned to go ho, he saw X Beijins bookstore right opposite Su Enyas house, and decided to pay him a visit after so hesitation.
Then, in the conversation with X Beijin, what he rembers the most vividly, is how the pale man with a heavy presence sitting behind his counter tells him, with this solemn, but cold tone,
To know the truth is a terrible predicant, but if you do not co to learn the truth right up to the day you are buried six feet under, would you regret it?
Mu Jiashi replied to that firmly, if the truth would lead where I want myself to go, then Yes. I will. I will want to know the truth.
X Beijin stared at him hard for a minute, before telling him, then go. TothatNightmare.
Mu Jiashi was confused for a mont.
Then X Beijin clarified, to that Nightmare that is the topic of the latest gossip of the bottom floor. That one.
So Mu Jiashi ended up in this Nightmareagain, he should clarify.
He is actually sowhat curious if X Beijin would know he has been to this Nightmare; he should not, but so kind of mysterious aura always seem to surround the bookstore owner. Mu Jiashi cannot help but feel like everything is in that mans control.
Even if he was only a Tower resident.
