"Those people say we're students who ran away from this school, and they're going to lock us up here and torture us! No matter how we explain, they won't listen and are convinced we're students! We're terrified! The torture instruments here are so scary! We don't want to die here! Please rescue us!"
Guo Zhuyan spoke with such sincerity and emotion, and cried so bitterly that he seemed to be wailing to the heavens.
Ye Rui and Guo Yicong "..."
I find it utterly disgusting.
Chi Baiyi, Qin Yuanyao, and Chi Naolu “…”
What is he doing?
Xing Yu “…”
Wow, is this the self-cultivation of an excellent actor? Even when playing games, they have to stay in character and not break character?
[Hahaha, I never expected you to be like this, Teacher Guo (covers face)]
[Teacher Guo, it's just a game, there's no need to take it so seriously.]
[Teacher Guo, you were just leisurely studying those torture instruments a second ago, how come you turned into this the moment you saw Qin Yuanyao and the others?]
[Teacher Guo, look at the disgusted looks on your wife's and son's faces]
Why does Yu Yu look so amazed? Yu Yu, don't let Teacher Guo influence you! Teacher Guo is too exaggerated, you can't imitate him!
"Let's study the lock first," Qin Yuanyao said.
“Okay,” Chi Baiyi agreed.
Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi then went to study the lock, ignoring Guo Zhuyan's performance just now.
Chi Nao stared at Guo Zhuyan for a few seconds, then asked very seriously, "Uncle Guo, have you gone crazy from being locked up in there for too long?"
Guo Zhuyan “…”
[Oh my god, I'm laughing so hard I'm splitting my legs! Is this an escape room game or a comedy show?!]
[You're such a good talker, Cheese! Keep talking! You've made me laugh all day!]
[Guo Zhuyan, with a weathered expression, lights a cigarette. My acting is beyond comprehension. Ah~ this must be the realm of invincibility~]
"Teacher Guo, your acting skills are truly remarkable! Amazing!!" Xing Yuwan sincerely gave a thumbs up, her thumb taut and straight.
Guo Zhuyan: "...Thank you."
At least there's one person who understands his hard work in performing.
While Xing Yu and Guo Zhuyan were introducing themselves, Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi had already noticed that the locks hanging on the iron bars were just ordinary locks that required a key to open.
Ye Rui then said, "We need a key to unlock it. We've searched the torture chamber, but we don't have a key."
"The key..." Qin Yuanyao murmured softly, then quickly realized, "Could it be the set of keys we saw in the teachers' office?"
Chi Nai also thought of the key, and nodded her little head repeatedly, "Very likely, Sister Qin."
"The key is in the office?" Xing Yu said. "But those people are in the office. How are we supposed to get it? Are we supposed to wait until they leave?"
"When will we get there?!" Guo Zhuyan said anxiously. "What if they come and torture us soon? What if they see you and arrest you too? We'll all be in big trouble!"
Chi Baiyi took the keys out of his pocket, showed them to everyone, and said calmly, "This one?"
Chi Nao's eyes widened. "Dad, why are you the key?"
Chi Baiyi said indifferently, "When we left the office, I thought I might need these keys later, so I just took them with me."
Chi Nao was even more shocked: "This is theft!"
Chi Baiyi "..."
[hahahaha, Chi Cheese is never late when it comes to roasting people!]
I'm so curious, what would Cheese say if Qin Yuanyao had taken these keys? (covers face)
What else would they say? It would definitely be – "Sister Qin, you're so amazing! Super amazing!"
[So lively and exciting! Why did you send a voice message upstairs? (evil laugh)]
"This isn't stealing, it's called having foresight." After correcting Chi Nao, Guo Zhuyan hurriedly urged, "Quickly try to open the lock!"
There are nearly ten keys on the keychain.
When Chi Baiyi tried the fourth key, the lock opened.
Everyone was overjoyed, never expecting the lock to open so easily this time.
[Ah! It really opened!]
This must be the easiest lock they've ever opened (laughing and crying)
[Actually, if President Chi hadn't been so prescient as to take the key beforehand, this lock might have been the hardest lock they'd ever opened.]
[I have to say again, this is why CEO Chi became the president of a large corporation at such a young age, while I'm about the same age as CEO Chi but just a lowly office worker earning a few thousand a month.]
Don't say anymore QAQ It's too painful to talk about QAQ
After everyone finished celebrating, they didn't dare linger and quickly left.
Just like when they came, they crouched and ran past the teachers' office under Chi Baiyi's direction.
There were seven people in the group, and Chi Baiyi was the last to arrive.
As soon as Chi Baiyi arrived, he heard several people in the office shouting.
"My keys are missing!!"
"What key?"
"That keychain! It has keys to many places! The key to the torture chamber is on it too!"
"The key to the torture chamber is also missing?!"
"Oh no! What if those three students in the torture chamber escaped?!"
As several teachers rushed out of the office, Chi Baiyi and his group of seven quickly and quietly hid behind a corner of the wall.
Several teachers rushed to the basement, while Chi Baiyi and the others quickly and quietly ran towards the student dormitory building at the back.
They didn't have a chance to catch their breath until they reached the bottom of the dormitory building and went up the stairs.
"That was terrifying!" Guo Zhuyan patted his chest, still shaken.
He was genuinely scared this time, not just putting on an exaggerated act.
"They didn't chase after us, did they?" Ye Rui peeked outside.
"Not yet. But once they realize you're missing, they'll definitely be looking everywhere for you," Qin Yuanyao said.
"What should we do?" Ye Rui panicked.
Qin Yuanyao gestured for them to go upstairs first.
As she went upstairs, she told Ye Rui's family about their encounter with the female ghost NP.
"So, if we help Li Xuan's mother collect evidence that Li Xuan didn't commit suicide, Li Xuan's mother can take us out?" Ye Rui concluded.
“Yes.” Qin Yuanyao nodded. “Let’s go to Li Xuan’s dormitory first and see if we can find anything.”
"Okay." Ye Rui nodded.
"By the way, where are Zhuo Ranjun and the others? Why weren't they with you?" Qin Yuanyao finally had a chance to ask this question.
Guo Zhuyan said, "After you fell into the Self-Reflection Room, Zhuo Ranjun and the others dared not go any further, fearing they would fall too. So we went down, searching for you while also hoping to find Feng Wenhe's family. We went down to the first floor and searched for a while before they also fell into the secret passage."
