Chapter 124 Nine-Year-Old Leaked Fish Actress is the Queen of Volumes (7)

But she remained calm and composed, facing so many surprised gazes with equanimity.

Xia Ke moved closer to her.

"Wow, I never expected the clown's teeth to be fangs! Everyone was thinking of normal teeth."

Ji Cheng followed up with praise.

"Our Kylie Jenner has finally figured it out! Amazing! Let's give Kylie a round of applause!"

Sparse applause rang out inside the room.

At this moment, Chenmianyi asked with a smile.

"Jin Shu, how did you guess that the clown's teeth were serrated? It feels like we were all thinking the wrong thing at first, and we were just having a silly discussion over there. I didn't expect you to have already pieced it together."

This is a reasonable question, and it reflects the concerns of many people.

Yeah, I find it strange too. Who in their right mind would think the Joker's teeth are serrated?

[Has Jin Shu's IQ suddenly become so high? No matter how well someone pretends, they can't fake intelligence.]

[A bold guess: Jin Shu may have already understood the game mechanics, and the director may have deliberately given her a high-IQ persona by leaking the information.]

[Isn't that unnecessary? Does Jin Shu have that much influence that would make Peach's director risk ruining his reputation to promote her?]

Jin Shu looked at Chen Mianyi.

This question is so well-posed that it seems like a genuine inquiry, but it actually makes one question the fairness of the game.

He also pointed out that Jin Shu had a clue but didn't tell everyone, just so she could show off all by herself.

This kind of thing is hard to explain.

How do you describe something that's obvious at a glance?

"What's wrong? If it's hard to answer, that's fine. Anyway, having such a reliable expert in our team will help us clear the level."

A tall hat was firmly placed on Jin Shu's head.

Jin Shu smiled.

"There's nothing hard to answer. The first question is why I was able to guess the zigzag pattern. The answer is actually hidden in the mural on the wall in the room we just left."

Xia Ke went straight into the nearest secret room and stared at the wall intently for a long time.

"Jin Shu, there's no answer."

"Look at the third mural from the left, what is the clown with a smirk holding in his hand?"

Following Jin Shu's directions, Xia Ke found the pattern, her gaze slowly moving downwards, followed by a surprised exclamation.

"Oh my god, they're serrated dentures!"

"This clown is facing the puzzle clown, so I said the answer is on the wall. Any questions?"

Xia Ke's shout immediately drew everyone's attention.

Everyone who saw the mural on the wall immediately understood.

The only clown who didn't show his teeth while smiling held a sharp, serrated false tooth that was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

"It really is true, Jin Shu, you have a good eye."

"It's alright."

In fact, Jin Shu already knew the approximate shape of the puzzle before discovering the pattern, so she didn't need to use her brain much. What others saw as a jumble of lines could be quickly assembled in her eyes.

Jin Shu has always been an exceptionally intelligent and talented person, but this is very different from the original owner's character. If she wants to change the audience's impression, she should proceed step by step.

"Regarding what you said, I pieced together the pattern by myself but didn't tell you."

You didn't include me at first; I thought this was a solo competition.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mianyi's smile became somewhat unnatural.

"Are you blaming me? Then I apologize. I was just following my previous experience and didn't want to put too much pressure on you."

Alright then, since Jin Shu is more suited to this game than any of us, let Jin Shu lead our team from now on.

Jin Shu, don't feel pressured, we believe in you.

Xia Ke sensed the tense atmosphere between the two and quickly stepped in to speak and defuse the situation.

"Anyway, you guys are all smarter than me. Let's all work together and see whoever knows the game best goes first in the next round. What do you all think?"

Chenmianyi just smiled and looked at Jin Shu leisurely.

"Sister Shu, you go ahead, we'll follow."

Jin Shu ignored her and went straight to the table outside the secret room to take her own card.

"Congratulations to player Jin Shu for obtaining Alice's Friendship Card. The player who obtains the most Friendship Cards next will be the final winner of this game, and only the winner can rescue our friend Alice."

Unexpectedly, Jin Shu took the first card.

[This shows that Jin Shu is indeed intelligent; it seems that what she did before was really just a persona she cultivated for the company.]

It's easy to play a fool, but it's not easy to play a genius. Be careful not to fall into a trap if you insist on creating a genius persona for yourself.

Am I the only one who can tell that Chen Mianyi doesn't like Jin Shu? It feels like she's always targeting her.

[Jin Shu almost caused the entire team to be wiped out in the last episode. Our Sister Shen is known for being very straightforward and has a severe case of aversion to stupidity. It would be strange if she liked someone like Jin Shu.]

The game continues.

They hadn't walked far when the surrounding lights suddenly dimmed, accompanied by sharp, eerie laughter coming from all directions. The lights in the long corridor in front of them flickered, and the clown mask hanging at the end of the corridor emitted a terrifying red light.

“I accompanied her as she grew up, but she abandoned me after she grew up.”

Do children change as they grow up? If that's the case, then I hope she never grows up and stays by my side forever.

I'm so lonely. I want someone to stay here with me forever. Who could that be? Who among you would like to come and keep me company?

As soon as he finished speaking, the clown mask on the wall suddenly bared its fangs, and a figure slowly crawled out from deep within the fangs. The unidentified object twisted and wriggled on the ground, its sinister laughter sending chills down one's spine.

Xia Ke and Kong Weishang, who were the most timid, both hid in the back. Xia Ke clutched Chen Mianyi's clothes, her voice trembling.

"What do we do now? It can't possibly come to arrest us, can it?"

The only exit from this house is this corridor, and now the end of the corridor is blocked by this unknown creature. As the thing gets closer and closer, everyone starts to back away without prior agreement.

"Find a place to hide, don't let it catch you!"

At Chenmianyi's shout, everyone began to scatter and look for places to hide.

Looking back, all I could see was a small, square bedroom filled with all sorts of clown toys: clown dolls, clown masks, clown bedside lamps…

The places to hide are clearly visible.

He Shaoyu reacted quickly, pulling open the wardrobe, only to find it completely empty.

"We can hide here."

The timid Ji Cheng was the first to squeeze in, followed closely by Xia Ke. There was just enough room for one more person to stand in.

He Shaoyu certainly wouldn't just crawl in like that; he looked at the three people standing opposite him.

Before Jin Shu could speak, Chen Mianyi gave Kong Weishang a shove.

"They're both timid, go in and give them courage."
