As the woman approached the row of wardrobes, she suddenly grinned.
"Let me guess, are you hiding in here?"
After she finished speaking, she simply reached out and grabbed the cabinet door without using much force, as if she was enjoying the moment.
After trying to open several cabinet doors without success, the woman gradually became irritated.
When she finally discovered that the wardrobes couldn't be opened, she angrily lashed out with the whip she was holding, making a loud crackling sound and flashing with lightning, which looked extremely frightening.
Because her back was to the cabinet door, Su Ping was unaware of the commotion outside. After the room finally quieted down, she whispered to Tu Hengchuan, "Has she left?"
Su Ping felt Tu Hengchuan's body stiffen suddenly, and she knew that the woman outside definitely hadn't left.
The woman paced back and forth in the room, unwilling to give up, when suddenly she turned her head sharply and focused her gaze on the small wardrobe next to her.
She seemed to have made a slight noise from inside. It was such a small cabinet; she had forgotten that people could hide inside.
"She's here."
Tu Hengchuan lowered his head and whispered in Su Ping's ear.
The movement itself was nothing unusual, but Su Ping suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her tailbone.
It wasn't because of the female ghost's approach outside, but because of Tu Hengchuan's actions just now.
Tu Hengchuan didn't notice Su Ping's strange behavior; he was focused on the woman outside who was walking towards them with a whip.
His face was painted deathly pale, and it did look rather eerie.
If he were alone and locked in this closet, he would probably be scared, but now...
Tu Hengchuan looked down at Su Ping, who was pressed against him, and suddenly felt a strange sense of peace.
This feeling made him feel strange; he wanted to grasp it, but he was also a little flustered.
"They're here."
As soon as Tu Hengchuan finished speaking, a somewhat eerie laugh rang out from outside the cabinet door, as if it were right next to their ears.
Upon hearing the sound of long fingernails scraping against the cabinet door, Su Ping felt a sudden tightening around her waist as Tu Hengchuan wrapped his arm around her with one hand!
Su Ping looked down in surprise, and then heard Xiu Zhi's ghost outside speaking: "It really is in here..."
Tu Hengchuan wrapped one arm around Su Ping's waist, while gripping the handle inside the cabinet tightly with the other. The two, one human and one ghost, faced off like that.
Su Ping gradually realized that Tu Hengchuan was hugging her because he had no leverage. After clearing her mind, she took the initiative to hug Tu Hengchuan's waist, giving him a better support by using her own body strength.
Tu Hengchuan, who was focused on the cabinet door in front of him, was stunned when he felt Su Ping's arms wrap around him. This strange feeling...
For some reason, he didn't feel any resistance.
The female ghost outside the cabinet door was annoyed because she couldn't open it, but when she felt the door being opened a crack, she immediately burst into excited, cackling laughter.
But before the laughter subsided, the cabinet door was slammed shut from the inside.
Although it only lasted for a second, the fans and viewers in the live stream still managed to capture the scene.
"No way, those two were hugging inside?"
"Waaaaah, I want to hug our Brother Chuan too! Why wasn't I the one chosen as a non-celebrity fan...?"
"Don't get too excited. Brother Chuan is just thinking about the bigger picture. Anyone would have done the same."
Realizing that the cabinet door had almost been pulled open, Tu Hengchuan quickly snapped out of his daze and used even more force.
Although the leverage point wasn't as good as the outside, the two of them worked well together and managed to pull the cabinet door back open.
Su Ping and Tu Hengchuan were pulled back into the cabinet again by the force they had just experienced.
Su Ping bumped into Tu Hengchuan's chest, her head spinning.
But now is not the time to let her imagination run wild. Although she has never played escape room games before, if the cabinet door were opened in this situation, she would probably be taken away.
Tu Hengchuan was also a little dazed from the collision, so he held Su Ping's waist even tighter and used the rest of his strength to pull the cabinet door open.
So the two of them exerted their strength from the left and right, which actually balanced the force exerted by the ghosts outside.
The cabinet door could not be opened for a moment.
After realizing that the cabinet door could not be opened, the female ghost angrily pounded on the cabinet door twice.
Su Ping only heard two loud slaps, and then Tu Hengchuan's hand moved from her waist to her head.
The sharp sound subsided considerably.
After the female ghost finished taking the picture, she reluctantly pulled the cabinet door again, and Su Ping could clearly feel the hand that was supporting her head begin to tremble slightly.
"How are you?"
Su Ping struggled to lift her head from Tu Hengchuan's embrace and look at him. Her hair accidentally brushed against Tu Hengchuan's neck, causing a ticklish sensation.
"Don't move."
After saying this, Tu Hengchuan, panting, gradually became somewhat powerless.
No, if this continues, the cabinet door will eventually be pulled open by something outside.
"I'll count to three, two, one..."
Su Ping blinked and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't ask so many questions. I'll hold her off for a bit. You run outside, meet up with the others, and then find a place to hide until she leaves."
After whispering those words in Su Ping's ear, Tu Hengchuan felt his strength gradually fading away.
Is he planning to sacrifice himself to save her?
That won't do!
If Tu Hengchuan really did that, I would be drowned in the spittle of his fans.
Su Ping refused without hesitation: "No, your identity card is special, and there will definitely be more plot developments to follow. I can't let you go."
Tu Hengchuan no longer had the strength to talk to her about these things, and started counting down directly.
"Three, two..."
He clenched his teeth, and just then, he suddenly heard the female ghost scream outside. She then clutched her shoulder, glared hatefully at the cabinet door, and left unwillingly.
They've left?
Su Ping blinked and heard the NPC's dialogue echoing in the room again.
"Master, we have been waiting for you for two days, and you have finally arrived!"
That's the voice of a servant in the mansion. Could it be that the master appeared and injured the female ghost?
The room returned to silence. Su Ping didn't know if the female ghost had left the room, so she could only quietly ask Tu Hengchuan in front of her.
"Brother Chuan, is she still in the room?"
Tu Hengchuan was exhausted, so he leaned most of his body against Su Ping and rested his chin on her head.
He couldn't hear what Su Ping was saying at all, and just mumbled an "uh-huh".
Haven't left yet?
Su Ping froze, too afraid to move, while inwardly cursing.
It seems this so-called master's skills are lacking; even with this female ghost appearing, he's still so arrogant.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she suddenly felt a soreness in her neck. Looking up, she saw the blue diamond earring that Tu Hengchuan was wearing.
