[Hahahaha, you bunch of fake fans! Watch out, I'll warn you!]
"Have you found any clues?" Qin Yuanyao asked.
"Yes," Xing Yu said. "Right in front of you."
Qin Yuanyao was slightly taken aback and was about to ask for details when Xing Yu pointed to the surrounding walls.
Qin Yuanyao raised her eyes and her breath hitched when she noticed the things on the wall.
The walls were covered with dense, large red characters—I saw them all; they are demons; they want us to die; we want to get out alive; we want to go home, and so on.
These words, one covering the other, covered three walls, creating a truly shocking sight.
【OMG!!!!】
What kind of inhumane treatment are these students suffering?!
Just looking at these words, I can feel the pain of the person who wrote them!
“And this.” Xing Yu held out the recording pen he was holding to Qin Yuanyao.
"A voice recorder?" Qin Yuanyao asked.
Xing Yu nodded. "Yeah. I found it in a corner, but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet."
Just as Qin Yuanyao was about to take the recording pen, Chi Baiyi took it from Xing Yu's hand before she could.
Qin Yuanyao glanced at him with some surprise.
When did Chi Baiyi become so proactive?
However, now is not the time to worry about these things. Chi Baiyi picked up the recorder and started playing the contents.
After a rustling sound, a trembling female voice rang out.
"Today is September 29, 2004, and they are beating people again..."
Then came the sound of whips striking people and the cries of pain from those being beaten.
Just hearing that sound is enough to make one feel unbearable pain.
The sound lasted for almost a minute before it stopped. Then came the rustling sound again, followed by the trembling female voice.
"Today is September 30, 2004, and another student has been punished by them..."
Then came the sound of whips striking people and loud shouts.
However, it can be distinguished from the voices that the person who was beaten on September 30th is not the same person who was beaten on September 29th.
The recording pen contains these contents.
The trembling female voice seemed to be documenting the school's abuse of students.
The last recording was made on November 4, 2004.
"Today is November 4, 2004, and they are physically punishing students again..."
The screams that followed were heart-wrenching...
[Oh my god, I can't listen to this anymore! Just hearing those sounds is enough to make me scream in pain! What do these students who are physically punished go through?!]
I'm furious! How can a school like this exist? How can parents bear to send their children to such a school?!
"November 4, 2004..." Qin Yuanyao murmured the somewhat familiar date, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Was the date of the unsent message on the old cell phone we found in the teacher's office also November 4, 2004?"
Chi Baiyi quickly remembered and nodded, "Yes."
"So that old-fashioned cell phone belonged to the student who was physically punished on November 4, 2004?" Xing Yu said. "This student was physically punished, so he used the cell phone to send a message to his parents, asking them to come pick him up. But before the message could be sent, a teacher at the school saw it and confiscated his cell phone."
Qin Yuanyao nodded. "That should be the case."
[Wow, Yu Yu finally showed some intelligence for once!]
[YuYu is amazing this time! She was able to guess the whole story.]
Is this the magic of "one is influenced by one's company"? (doge) Hahahaha
Xing Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly exclaimed, "Could the password be...!"
Chi Baiyi glanced at him indifferently. "The hint written on the keypad is that the password is four letters."
Xing Yu deflated instantly, like a punctured balloon. "Oh."
Chi Cheese was a little speechless. "You've been in here for so long before us, didn't you notice the password is four letters?"
Xing Yu “…”
He really didn't notice that little detail.
When he saw that he needed a password to get out, he panicked, and then... that was it...
Xing Yu suddenly had another idea, and her face lit up again.
He said, "If the password is four letters, could it be the first letters of the words on the wall?!"
Qin Yuanyao looked up and studied the sentences on the wall. "But there are so many words on the wall. Even if you put the first letter of each sentence together, there must be at least a hundred possible combinations."
Xing Yu said somewhat dejectedly, "That makes sense."
Chi Nao sighed softly, muttering in a sweet, milky voice, "Unreliable."
Xing Yu “…”
He heard me!
[A flurry of activity, yet also a bit overwhelming! Cheese's spot-on critique is unreliable]
I just praised Yu Yu for being smart, and he immediately contradicted me.
[Don't blame Yu Yu, his thinking is the same as everyone's in this situation. It's just that the puzzle set by the production team was too difficult.]
I think it's because President Chi and his team are so amazing that Yu Yu seems quite ordinary in comparison.
[After all, our Yu Yu is the kind of person who wants to win without effort, and to win without effort, you have to pay a price, like constantly making him feel like his IQ is being crushed, hahaha]
"Could the clues be in the recording pen?" Chi Baiyi asked in a deep voice.
"A voice recorder?" Xing Yu stroked his chin, trying to recall. "But all the voice recorder had on it were the students' screams of pain and the date. Could it be... the students' screams were the password? Ahhhhh?! aaaa?!"
In the end, Xing Yu realized that his line of thinking was definitely correct.
Chi Naozi scoffed, "According to you, the students' crying could also be a code! Waaaaaah!"
"It might actually be possible!" Xing Yu rubbed his hands together, eager to try both.
Chi Cheese "..."
Xing Yu walked to the keypad and typed "aaaa".
Password error message.
Xing Yu typed again.
It was still the wrong password message.
Xing Yu turned around somewhat disheartened, only to find that Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao had already begun discussing other possible approaches, and no one paid any attention to him.
Xing Yu “…”
[Hahahaha, oh my god, I'm dying of laughter! Yu Yu, are you trying to make me laugh to death so I can inherit my homework?]
【YuYu, didn't you realize that the cheese comment was sarcastic? And you still went to try it so excitedly (facepalm)】
[I feel like nobody cares about me, sob qaq]
Unable to come up with a better idea, Chi Baiyi simply replayed the recording.
Over and over again.
After listening several times, no one could come up with any possible clues.
"Could the clues not be in the recording pen at all, but somewhere else?" Xing Yu asked.
Chi Nai had a sudden inspiration and said in a soft and cute voice, "Is it possible that the password is under the wall, just like in the classroom we escaped from the first time?"
