Meanwhile, a member of the audience has a question, “but there are currently three elevators, so which one is the one representing where the nightmare owner went?”

This is certainly a good question, one that Xü Beijin was thinking about earlier as well.

He looks at the remaining Actors of the 16th floor, and continues muffling his voice to answer the questions without behind heard, “I believe the current focus is still on the fact that there are the strange déjà vu episodes.
In other words, what is important here is the fact that elevator One has abandoned the little girl and elevator Two has dumped blood onto the ground. These are the main events they are experiencing, or as a comment aptly put, ‘Main Story.’
Here, the aspect to focus on is the fact that these main events occurred, relating to where the Nightmare owner has gone to.
While the madmen, the body parts on the ceiling, the sea of blood, seem to be some kind of ‘side quest’ of this Nightmare, or rather, the building. They come auxiliary with the building, and perhaps do not have direct impact on the truth of the Nightmare.
The reason I say this is because the actions of the Missiontakers are still ultimately up to themselves. While the floors they go to can be planned forward, but what they would choose to do in the floor is unknowable.
However, when it comes to the main events we talked about, they are fundamentally different.
When they met the little girl on the 31st floor, by rationale of any Missiontaker, it is unlikely they would ever take her along; even if they decided to take her, the Server could have made her unwilling to leave the desk.

This means that this event can be replicated exactly as intended.
Same with the other event. When Missiontakers end up on the floor with the sea of blood, the elevator necessarily has to be filled up with blood, and no sane Missiontaker would suggest anything other than dumping the blood away… So it is also practically a certainty this will happen.
If we consider it from this angle, while it is still unknowable where Missiontakers would end up each time an elevator button is pushed, but it is guaranteed all the events that once happened in this building will be replicated one way or another.
So through these ‘re-creation’ episodes, they will likely be able to pinpoint where the Nightmare owner is, and then resolve the Nightmare.”

“In addition…” Xü Beijin remains quiet for a moment before explaining, “it is possible that what the Nightmare owner has gone through would be in a different order to what the Missiontakers have experienced in turn. The events may occur independently.
It remains to be seen if a pattern can be found, but we will be able to tell once they’ve experienced everything the elevators cause them to relive.”

Xü Beijin has finally laid out everything he thought about in general.

“wow thats amazing Beibei”

“ive got it! the detective dalao and Beibei have let me understand!”
“think I got what they want to say, but I don’t think I understand…”
“although the logic is beyond me, but I know the result! theyll know the truth once they take all six elevators!”
“not necessarily every elevator either… depends on the scriptwriters for this instance”
“though given the scriptwriters’ usual malice…”
“so basically the missiontakers are going through snippets of what happened to the nightmare owner before!”
“yeah! I know the word snippets!”
“… this is sending chills down my spine, its like the activities of the missiontakers are 100% at the mercy of the server NE”
“dumbo, haven’t you heard of psychology? [doge emoji]”
“still have a question… what Beibei and the dalao said can explain the deja vus but what about the photo with mystic and with the bracelet on the little girl’s hand… its weird”

“+1, I also don’t get it”
“maybe its just the server trying to creep the missiontakers out?”
“lol maybe mystic is an actor herself, just disguising herself as a missiontaker”
“if they didn’t talk about how mystic is famous in the upper floors, I’d have believed you”
“oh bugger, one question down, a new question pops in”

Xü Beijin remains silent.

He actually has thoughts regarding why Mystic’s image is visible on that photo, but he cannot share it with the viewers of the stream.

His gaze then drifts towards the quietly burning inferno of the ruins of the city outside.

The Apocalypse of Raining Hellfire…

His thoughts drift far, far away.

Meanwhile, on the stream, the viewers have grown bored of discussing the fruitless question already, and are instead backtracking to how amazing the detective dalao and Xü Beijin’s analyses are.

They were certainly highly plausible.

“That said,” the detective dalao types, “regrettably, the Missiontakers do not share our God’s eye view, so it is also problematic depending on when they can figure this out.
Hopefully the second run, but, if the third run, or, after the Nightmare… starts crumbling?
