Xing Yu's fans started flooding the live chat with comments like "hahahahaha," "hhhhhh," and "so popular and exciting."

[Yu Yu, you silly goose, even the cheese doesn't want to eat you anymore!]

[Here I am, taking my silly husband with me! Please don't laugh, everyone! I'll definitely discipline him when I get back.]

"That's not right." Qin Yuanyao suddenly exclaimed, "The password shouldn't be the numerical sequence corresponding to the English alphabet."

"Why?" Xing Yu asked, bewildered.

In just a few dozen seconds, why was his line of thinking rejected?

“The number 'z' corresponds to 26. That already takes up two digits, so the password only has three digits,” Qin Yuanyao said.

Xing Yu paused for a few seconds, then said, "Is it possible that the three letters correspond to a random combination of numbers?"

Fearing that everyone might not have understood, Xing Yu gave an example: "For instance, the 'z' and 'x' of self-reflection, the 'x' of 'saving one's house,' and something like that?"

"That's not right," Chi Nao said softly. "The number 'x' corresponds to 24, and the number 'x' corresponds to 23. Any two letters combined together will result in four numbers."

Xing Yu understood and then abandoned his idea. "Okay."

[Hahaha, it seems like Yu Yu got rejected by the cheese again.]

【Don't go too far! At least Yu Yu doesn't shy away from showing us his naivety, and he's playing the game very seriously (laughs while covering mouth)】

Qin Yuanyao and the others stared at the three characters "Self-Reflection Room" on the wall, each lost in thought.

Their live stream room fell silent for a moment.

The silence was broken when Chi Baiyi spoke up.

"Could the password be the number of strokes in these three characters?"

“自, 6 strokes; 省, 9 strokes; 屋, 9 strokes,” Qin Yuanyao said, “699.”

Chi Baiyi walked to the combination lock and turned it to reveal the numbers 699.

The combination lock didn't respond at all.

Chi Baiyi shook her head at Qin Yuanyao. "No."

Everyone's eyes fell once again on the three words "Self-Reflection Room" on the wall.

After a moment of silence, Chi Nao suddenly said, "Hmm, could it be the number of strokes in the radicals of these three characters?"

Chi Nai Cheese picked up her fair, delicate little fingers and continued, "The radical of '自' is..."

Chi Cheese fell silent.

I'm confused.

I don't know what the radical of the character "自" is.

Xing Yu scratched his head and remained silent.

He didn't even know what the radical of his name was.

"自 is a single structure; its radical is itself. 自 has 6 strokes," Qin Yuanyao said.

Chi Nai opened her mouth in surprise, "Oh, I see. Well, the radical of '省' is '目', which has 5 strokes; the radical of '屋' is '尸', which has 3 strokes. Put them together and it's... 653."

Chi Baiyi turned the numbers 653 on the combination lock, and the lock opened immediately.

Xing Yu was overjoyed and exclaimed "Yay!" to Chi Naozi, "Naozi, you're so smart!"

Chi Nai proudly raised her fair and tender chin. "Not bad, I'm only a little bit smarter than you."

Chi Cheese said "just a little bit," but the angle she made with her index finger and thumb was almost 180 degrees.

[Hahahaha, it's confirmed that cheese dislikes Yu Yu!]

[Cheese, you're really not modest, haha! You say "just a little bit," but you're gesturing out a whole lot!]

However, Cheese does have the right to criticize Yu Yu. Not only is Cheese quick-witted, but the solutions she comes up with are also quite reliable.

Qin Yuanyao is really clever! She gave a timely reminder when Cheese didn't know what its radical was. To be honest, I was also wondering what my radical was at the time (facepalm)

[Wasn't Boss Chi the most brilliant? Boss Chi was the first to notice that the password might be related to the Self-Reflection Room, and he was also the first to bring up the decryption strategy by referring to the strokes of the Self-Reflection Room, preventing everyone from taking too many detours.]

[Actually, I also think that CEO Chi is the most impressive one who keeps his abilities hidden! CEO Chi didn't talk much on the show before, he was just there to keep Chi Cheese company, but this time he was a little more active and willing to participate.]

[Hahaha, I also think Chi is much more proactive this time than before in Escape Room. Does Chi really like playing these kinds of games?]

Meanwhile, Song Shangce, who was watching the live stream with his grandparents, witnessed Chi Nao's performance throughout the entire event.

His face remained expressionless, but he felt a mixture of surprise and admiration in his heart.

Chi Cheese is quite clever, much smarter than that big man.

That person hadn't even realized that Z was the 26th letter of the English alphabet, which is really hard to explain.

I hope that Chi Cheese won't be held back if she's in a group with someone like that.

...

Qin Yuanyao and the other three walked out of the introspection room.

The introspection room they were in was the innermost one.

As you walk further out, you see five or six rooms of introspection, one after another.

"Why are there so many self-reflection rooms?" Xing Yu muttered in confusion.

Further out, there was a dark room.

Several thick whips were hanging on the wall of the room.

In the center of the room was a wooden bed with ropes at the head and foot for binding.

Beside the wooden bed was a dusty table. On the table was a stainless steel dish containing a thick, long needle, a razor, an iron, a stone, and other items.

Upon entering the room, Qin Yuanyao and the others felt a chilling, eerie atmosphere.

When they finally saw what was in the room, a chill ran through their bones, making them shiver.

What kind of room is this? It looks so eerie and scary!

Even in an abandoned school, there shouldn't be a room like this! What's this place used for?

[Waaaaah, I'm so scared! Yu Yu, hold me tight and protect me!]

[Hahahaha, Yu Yu is supposed to protect you? Look at Xing Yu's expression, he's probably even more scared than us. Letting him protect you is worse than letting President Chi protect you, hahaha!]

I wouldn't dare let CEO Chi protect me. He'd probably just kick me away QAQ.

"Isn't this place too gloomy?" Xing Yu felt his teeth chattering.

“Why would a school have a place like this? Don’t you think it looks like a place of torture? Look, there are whips, needles, razors, even irons and stones. It’s terrifying to think about!” Xing Yu hugged himself.

Qin Yuanyao frowned slightly as she looked at these things.

She had a vague idea of ​​what kind of school this was.

"Let's go take a look elsewhere," Qin Yuanyao said.

"Okay, okay, let's go quickly." Xing Yu was overjoyed and left immediately, becoming the first to rush out of the room.

After passing an open space, there are several steps leading up to it.

At the end of the steps was a teacher's office.

There are five or six desks in the office.

Qin Yuanyao and the others searched through the desk and found a list, an old Nokia phone, and a set of keys.

Qin Yuanyao opened the list.

The roster contained the names of more than a dozen students. After each name was written their enrollment date and a question.
