Half an hour later, the two arrived at their destination for today.
Ji Yanli came as a flying guest to participate in the recording of a program, which is a recently popular suspenseful escape room decryption type reality show.
There are five guests in the program team, four permanent guests and one flying guest.
The first one is a well-known comedy actor named Chen Teng. He is in his forties this year, but because he takes good care of himself, he looks only in his thirties. He is very humorous and interesting.
The second person is a new generation actress named Shi Nianxi, who is in her twenties. She has impressed many people with her outstanding acting skills and is quite popular.
The third person is a singer named Su Yi. He has written lyrics and composed music for many popular TV series and movie theme songs. He is very talented and capable.
The fourth person is a male actor named Zheng Ze, who started as a child star and is also in his twenties. Naturally, his acting skills and appearance are also beyond reproach.
The fifth person is a male idol who debuted not long ago. His name is Lu Zheyu. He is not only good at singing and dancing, but he is also handsome and tall.
On this side, Ji Yanli was also quite quick. She put on some simple makeup, changed into the clothes prepared by the program crew, said hello to other guests, and then started waiting for the recording of the program.
He fished out his phone from his pocket, opened the camera, found a random angle, took a selfie, and then clicked on WeChat and sent the 360-degree, no-dead-angle photo of himself to Li Shu: [Little money-grubber, is my second brother handsome? ]
Li Shu replied quickly: [Second brother, did you praise me for being rich?]
Ji Yanli chuckled softly, his eyes flickering with laughter. He wasn't too surprised by Li Shu's reply; it was even within his expectations. "Okay, praise me."
After typing, I transferred 100,000 yuan to her without thinking.
Li Shu clicked to confirm the payment in seconds, "Second brother, you are so handsome, the most handsome in the universe."
Before Ji Yanli could reply, she sent another message: [By the way, second brother, when you record the show later, remember to carry the amulet I gave you with you.]
Ji Yanli looked at the message from Li Shu on his phone, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Xiao Shu, how did you know I was carrying your talisman?"
Li Shu: [Didn’t you say that if it was something I gave you, you would always carry it with you?]
Ji Yanli raised his eyebrows, and for some reason, his heart softened. [Yes, I've always carried it with me.]
At this time, a staff member came over and reminded: "Teacher Ji, the recording is about to begin."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Ji Yanli turned his phone to silent mode and put it in his pocket.
As for the amulet that Li Shu gave him, he had already folded it and placed it behind his phone.
…
The rules of the program are the same as before. The six people are divided into two teams by drawing lots and enter a secret room set up in advance to complete the task.
The group that successfully deciphers the clues of the task, obtains the key answer, finds the key and escapes from the secret room first wins. The winning group can get the mysterious grand prize of the program team.
The theme of this escape room is escape from the horror dormitory.
In the past, the venue for each episode was various types of man-made escape rooms. This time it was a bit special, as we chose a real location for recording, which was an abandoned school.
The two teams entered the school dormitory buildings separately.
Ji Yanli, Shi Nianxi and Lu Zheyu were in the same team, so the position of captain naturally fell on him.
At this moment, the dorm manager, who had been waiting for a long time, saw everyone come in, opened the drawer, took out two keys from the bunch of keys and placed them on the table. She also deliberately turned the labeled side away from the crowd and said, "The key has the corresponding dormitory number on it. Don't leave casually when the bell rings."
Ji Yanli's eyes moved slightly, and he picked up one of them at random and turned it over. When he saw the number 444 on it, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that he would get such an unlucky thing at the beginning.
He coughed dryly and said to the remaining two teammates: "Let's go."
Lu Zheyu nodded, came over, and asked curiously: "Brother Ji, what is our dormitory number?"
Ji Yanli handed the key to him, "444."
Lu Zheyu: “…”
Chen Teng, who was standing by, patted his shoulder when he saw this, spread out the keys in his palm, and said jokingly: "Don't worry, our team is not much better. 484, do or die."
Ji Yanli felt a lot more balanced when he heard this. Although the numbers corresponding to the two keys were unlucky, they also echoed the theme of this issue and might be a clue.
Soon, everyone came to a dimly lit corridor. There were dormitory rooms on both sides. The walls were black and stained with something unknown, and there were also a lot of bloodstains and bloody handprints on them. In short, it was very creepy.
The dormitory numbers on each door are also random without any rules. Dormitories 444 and 484 are door to door.
Ji Yanli walked to the door of dormitory 444 and stopped. He took out the key and inserted it into the hole. Perhaps it was because of the key or the aging of the door lock, but it took him two or three tries to open the door.
He pushed open the door and walked in first, only to see standard bunk beds inside, with a total of six beds.
Some of the beds had blackened quilts and tattered mats. I don’t know if they were props prepared by the program crew or left behind by students who had lived here before.
There was a long table in the middle of the beds on both sides, which was made up of four desks and three chairs with missing arms and legs.
The whole dormitory looked messy, full of dust and smelled of mold.
Shi Nianxi subconsciously rubbed her shoulders, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes, "No way, the production team is making this too realistic and scary. Why do I feel like the temperature has dropped a bit since I came in?"
Lu Zheyu looked around and said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but when I just came in, I felt like someone blew a cold breath on the back of my neck..."
"Zheyu, don't scare me!" Shi Nianxi was even more frightened now and leaned closer to him.
Although Dormitory 444 looked quite eerie, Ji Yanli didn't feel anything unusual as they said. After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "Let's look for clues in the dormitory first."
"Okay, Brother Ji." Lu Zheyu nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff member standing at the dormitory door carrying a camera suddenly made a puzzled sound, "Huh?"
Ji Yanli heard the noise and walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the camera?"
The staff member nodded, still fiddling with the camera in his hand. "I checked it this morning and there's definitely nothing wrong with it. It was working fine when I just entered the building, but when I was filming this dormitory, the screen suddenly went black..."
Shi Nianxi swallowed her saliva upon hearing this, her expression becoming somewhat nervous and uneasy. "Well, could it be something unclean? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence..."
