There are three paths at the fork in the road: go forward, go down, and go up.

"Which way do we go?" Zhuo Ranjun asked.

Feng Wenhe said, "Go downstairs. Since we need to get out of this school, going downstairs to find the exit is the fastest way."

Guo Zhuyan nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Qin Yuanyao, however, had a different opinion.

"The game has only just begun. Do you think the production team will let us find the exit so quickly?"

Feng Wenhe was somewhat unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face.

He asked, "So which way do you think we should go?"

Qin Yuanyao looked at the front of the corridor and said, "I want to go to the front and take another look."

“Okay,” Feng Wenhe said. “Then you guys go ahead, we’ll go downstairs.”

Feng Wenhe turned and walked away, but Zhuo Ranjun and Guo Zhuyan did not follow.

Feng Wenhe stopped and asked them, "Aren't you coming downstairs?"

Zhuo Ranjun said, "I also want to go and see what's ahead."

Although she felt that both Feng Wenhe and Qin Yuanyao made sense, she agreed more with what Feng Wenhe said.

However, if she doesn't follow Qin Yuanyao and the others, she won't be able to follow Chi Baiyi, and she won't have the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Chi Baiyi.

“I’ll go check it out first. We still have plenty of time. It would be no fun to escape so quickly,” Guo Zhuyan said, half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Guo Zhuyan thought that Feng Wenhe and Qin Yuanyao both made sense, and he was fine with following either of them.

However, seeing that his son Guo Yicong's gaze was fixed on Chi Naozhi, he guessed that Guo Yicong definitely wanted to follow Chi Naozhi.

Therefore, he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany his son and fulfill his wish.

Seeing that Zhuo Ranjun's family and Guo Zhuyan's family were no longer following him because of Qin Yuanyao's words, Feng Wenhe sneered inwardly.

Did Qin Yuanyao think that just because she guessed the password once, she was amazing, that her analysis was always correct, and that everyone else had to listen to her?

Ha, no wonder he's never liked her; she really is a very annoying person.

“Okay,” Feng Wenhe said with a smile, “then let’s go downstairs.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked downstairs without looking back.

[I think Feng Wenhe is right! If we need to find an exit, it's best to look downstairs first. If we can't find an exit downstairs, we can always look upstairs. Why does Qin Yuanyao insist on going against Feng Wenhe?]

[Qin Yuanyao guessed the password once and thought she was so great, starting to act arrogant and show off. Wouldn't it have been better if everyone went downstairs to check? She's the only one with a problem, like she's the only one with a brain.]

[Is it true that Teacher Feng can express his opinion, but Yao Yao expressing her own opinion is considered going against Teacher Feng? I think Yao Yao is quite right. The game has only just begun; how could the production team let them leave so quickly?]

[If Teacher Feng wants to go downstairs to watch, she can go downstairs; if Yao Yao wants to watch upstairs, she can watch upstairs. The production team didn't stipulate that these guests have to stay together all the time, nor did they stipulate that everyone has to listen to Teacher Feng. Why can't Yao Yao have her own mind and her own ideas?]

[Actually, it's fine to watch from upstairs or downstairs. Wasn't it Zhuo Ranjun and Guo Zhuyan who made the whole thing awkward by changing their minds at the last minute?]

[Where was the awkwardness in this whole thing? Who was awkward? It was just a normal exchange of ideas, don't drag our teacher Guo into it.]

So the group split into two groups: Feng Wenhe's family went downstairs, while Zhuo Ranjun's family, Guo Zhuyan's family, and Qin Yuanyao's group continued forward.

Each classroom was similar to the one they had initially escaped from; apart from desks and chairs, it was empty, with nothing else and no clues found.

Before long, they reached the end of the corridor.

"Should we go upstairs or downstairs now?" Zhuo Ranjun asked.

"Mom, let's go downstairs." Ge Ling shook Zhuo Ranjun's arm. "If we go downstairs now, we'll definitely run into Feng Xuan and the others."

Zhuo Ranjun was a little annoyed.

Feng Xuan, Feng Xuan, her daughter only cares about Feng Xuan!

Zhuo Ranjun ignored Ge Ling, but looked at Qin Yuanyao and then at Chi Baiyi.

[Zhuo Ranyun really wants to be with Qin Yuanyao and the others.]

[Abandoned schools are so creepy, it's definitely better to go together than alone.]

[Ge Ling really enjoys being with Feng Xuan. Even at a time like this, she's still thinking about him; they have a really good relationship.]

[If someone hadn't spoken up, Ge Ling would already be with Feng Xuan—no! They'd all be together!]

[The person upstairs is stirring up trouble again. Why don't they mention that Feng Xuan and his group aren't with Qin Yuanyao and the others? I've seen Feng Wenhe and the others wandering around downstairs for so long, and they haven't even found a single useful clue, let alone said anything.]

[Where didn't Feng Xuan and his team find useful clues? Teacher Feng clearly found a notebook with the words "This is a cannibalistic school" written on it, proving that this school is no ordinary school. Isn't that a clue?!]

[Hilarious! What a useless clue this is! In the very first room, Qin Yuanyao said the phrase "No one can leave" written on the blackboard was strange, which already indicated that this school was unusual and definitely had some secret. Feng Wenhe was so focused on finding clues to the password that he didn't listen carefully to what Qin Yuanyao and Ye Rui were saying. Why is he rehashing old news now?]

If Qin Yuanyao hadn't been deliberately trying to show off, she would probably have gone downstairs by now. Let's see what she chooses (smiling face)

Chi Baiyi didn't care.

He looked at Qin Yuanyao and let her make the decision.

Qin Yuanyao was already used to his attitude and would basically make decisions on her own as if he didn't exist.

"Let's go downstairs then," Qin Yuanyao said. "Let's check downstairs first, and if there are no clues there, then we can go back upstairs?"

Zhuo Ranjun and Guo Zhuyan both nodded, agreeing with her decision.

[Yao Yao chooses to go downstairs, let me see whose face got swollen from being slapped (smiling face)(smiling face)(smiling face)]

When it comes to proving someone wrong, Yao Yao never disappoints!

[By the way, Director Jiang said the new guest was waiting for everyone in the escape room! It's been so long, and there's still no sign of the new guest.]

[You reminded me! If the new guest doesn't show up soon, I'll almost forget there are any guests at all.]

Qin Yuanyao and the others had only taken a few steps downstairs when a startled cry suddenly came from upstairs, "Ah—!"

Qin Yuanyao and the others, as well as the viewers in the live stream, were all startled by the scream.

There were only two groups of people: Feng Wenhe and his group were downstairs, while the rest were here.

Who was that who exclaimed in surprise upstairs?!

[Who? Who's calling?! Mommy, I was so scared I dropped my milk tea!!!!]

[Is someone upstairs?? How could there be anyone upstairs! Did Feng Wenhe and the others move upstairs from downstairs?]
