At this point, Guo Zhuyan couldn't help but complain, "The production team is too much of a rip-off! There are so many secret passages, it's impossible to guard against them all!"

"After the Ge family also fell into the secret passage and disappeared, we could only search for you, the Ge family, and the Feng Wenhe family at the same time. Before we could find anyone, we were captured by those teachers who suddenly appeared. You know what happened next."

“I think the production team deliberately let you all fall into the secret passage, deliberately separated us. The production team wanted us to fight one by one and defeat us one by one,” Guo Zhuyan said.

At this moment, Director Jiang was sitting in the monitoring room, and he nodded repeatedly when he heard what Guo Zhuyan said.

That's not it.

If we don't let you fall into the secret passage and separate you, how can we have any interest or viewership?

...

Qin Yuanyao and the others found Li Xuan's dormitory in no time.

The dormitory room was shared by two people, and Li Xuan's belongings all had her name tag on them.

Everyone immediately noticed Li Xuan's table.

The table drawer has a combination lock display screen; a password is required to open the drawer.

This time, Xing Yu first confirmed the type of password.

"This password is a bit difficult. It could be numbers or letters, and it didn't specify how many digits it would have," Xing Yu sighed.

He suddenly thought, "Mr. Chi, was Li Xuan's birthday on the list we saw in the teachers' office? Do you remember when Li Xuan's birthday is? People usually like to use their own birthday as a password, could the drawer's password be her birthday?"

[The little fish really nailed it this time! This approach is flawless.]

I also like to use my birthday as a password. Every time I set a password, the first one that pops into my head is my birthday.

Haha, who isn't? We're all pretty much the same. But I think I saw a news report before saying that using your birthday as a password is actually very dangerous and easy to crack. Phone numbers are leaked so easily these days; scammers can easily find out our birthdays.

[lol. Using a birthday as a password is definitely not secure, but Yu Yu's guess that the password might be Li Xuan's birthday is not wrong. But Yu Yu, you yourself don't even remember Li Xuan's birthday. Do you think President Chi has spent less time looking at the roster than you have? How could he possibly remember? (facepalm)]

Unexpectedly, just as Xing Yu finished speaking, Chi Baiyi spoke up in a light tone.

“.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned.

[Holy crap! Has CEO Chi already proven me wrong so quickly?]

[Does CEO Chi remember this so clearly? Is he sure he's not mistaken?]

[Someone online recorded the scene of the four of them in the office, and I just paused it to watch the close-up of the roster! President Chi isn't mistaken! It was January 27, 1991!!]

[My God! What kind of memory does CEO Chi have?! I clearly saw that he spent less time looking at the roster than Xing Yu and Qin Yuanyao did, how could he remember it so clearly?!]

[This must be the buff that a domineering CEO comes with, right? QAQ]

[This is probably why CEO Chi is such a domineering CEO, qaq]

This is probably why we're just ordinary people, right? QAQ

Although Xing Yu had guessed that Chi Baiyi might remember, he was still utterly shocked when Chi Baiyi actually said it.

He gave Chi Baiyi a thumbs-up that was almost bent, and entered “” on the keypad display without any doubt.

The password error message sounded.

Qin Yuanyao then thought, "The roster also lists each student's arrival time. Let's try Li Xuan's arrival time."

Chi Baiyi responded at the opportune moment.

Xing Yu then entered Li Xuan's school entry time on the keypad display, but the message was still "incorrect password."

That line of thought has been broken.

Guo Zhuyan suddenly said, "Look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall."

Five calligraphy paintings with black characters on a white background are pasted on the wall.

The first four characters are written as obedient, compliant, sensible, and docile.

The last painting and calligraphy had two lines of text written on it.

A woman's virtue lies in her obedience.

A man's obedience is the ruler's.

"What the hell? What kind of outdated thinking is this?!" Xing Yu complained.

"These calligraphy and paintings are just brainwashing the students here, making them obedient and compliant," Ye Rui said, frowning.

"Could the password be hidden in these paintings and calligraphy?" Guo Zhuyan asked.

Guo Yicong stepped forward and carefully examined the hanging calligraphy and paintings, looking for any clues on the front or back.

Everyone worked with him to find clues on the calligraphy and paintings.

But after searching carefully, they found no clues on the calligraphy or painting.

Xing Yu asked, "Could the password be these words?"

"Are all these words a code?" Guo Yicong had no clue.

Xing Yu stroked his chin, examining each piece of calligraphy and painting.

“For example, in this painting, a woman’s obedience is virtuous, and a man’s submission is righteous,” Xing Yu said. “Could the code be the first letter of all the words?”

Before anyone could react, Xing Yu went to try it.

As he pressed the button, he read aloud "nzthbdnzfbj".

Press the OK button, and the screen will display an error message indicating that the password is incorrect.

"What are the first letters of these words?" Guo Yicong pointed to the four words on the wall: obedient, compliant, sensible, and docile.

Xing Yu tried the password, but it was still wrong.

"Is it possible that these four words are in full pinyin?" Ye Rui asked.

Xing Yu tried the password again as Ye Rui had suggested, but it was still wrong.

"What about the number of strokes in all the characters?" Guo Zhuyan suddenly thought.

"Listen, 7 strokes; speak, 8 strokes, that's 78..."

As Guo Zhuyan spoke, Xing Yu pressed the corresponding strokes for each character on the password display screen.

Are we all getting too stuck on the previous solution approaches? These approaches have already been used in other escape rooms, so it's unlikely that we'll be using the same methods again.

I also think we've all gotten ourselves into a bit of a dead end.

[Guo Zhuyan and the others haven't experienced that many escape rooms, so they might not know that these puzzle-solving approaches have already been used, but Yuyu, you do know! How did you get led astray by Teacher Guo and the others? (laughing and crying)]

[Look how enthusiastically Yu Yu is trying out the password! Don't discourage her enthusiasm. Let her have fun. After all, you can't really rely on her to solve the puzzle (laughing and crying)]

[Where are the key figures in deciphering this? Yao Yao, CEO Chi, Cheese, hurry up and get to work! Don't let Yu Yu and the others lead you astray!]

Although Qin Yuanyao, Chi Baiyi, and Chi Naozi did not quite agree with Xing Yu and the others' ideas, they did not speak up to stop them because they could not think of any other ideas for the time being.

They gazed at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, each lost in thought.

Guo Zhuyan and his team used the strokes of these characters, the full pinyin, the first letter, and the strokes of the first letter to create many different codes. They tried them one by one, but none of them were correct.

By the end, they were almost bald.
