Chapter 69: The World of Entertainment 13 As Long as It's Him
Lu Yuming was slightly stunned, but before he could react, Chu Sicheng had already pushed the door open and walked out.
Lu Yuming followed him, somewhat bewildered. "Is the cabinet door really open? Why didn't the ghost catch us?"
Chu Sicheng grabbed the key hidden on the top shelf of the bookshelf, turned his head and glanced at Lu Yuming meaningfully, then said:
"Maybe he felt we were trying too hard, so he softened his heart and let us go."
Lu Yuming: "...Do you believe what you said?"
Chu Sicheng's expression remained unchanged. He held Lu Yuming's hand with one hand, and used his free hand to open the door while saying, "Believe it. Otherwise, how else can you explain why he didn't come to arrest us?"
Lu Yuming: “…”
He really couldn't explain it.
He had just been squeezed into the deep end of the closet by Chu Sicheng, and his mind was full of the man who was hugging him tightly in front of him. Not to mention whether the closet door was closed or not, he didn't even know when the ghost left.
Therefore, he really had no qualifications to express his opinion on this matter. Moreover, if he thought about it carefully, what Chu Sicheng said did not seem to be completely impossible.
As customers who pay to come in and experience the experience, it is impossible for the owner of this escape room to be so lenient and catch them and kick them out of the escape room at the first level.
If that's the case, this store won't last long.
So, after Chu Sicheng led him through the second level of the hell of fire, Lu Yuming convinced himself and no longer worried about what Chu Sicheng meant by "the cabinet door was not closed."
At this time they had arrived at the gate of the third level of hell.
This level of hell also has a very scary name - Tongue-Pulling Hell.
As the name suggests, all ghosts who come here will be punished by having their tongues pulled out, and those ghosts who will enter the tongue-pulling hell are those who liked to deceive and betray during their lifetime.
Therefore, in line with the theme of this level of hell, the most important thing to pass this level is to ensure your honesty.
Before Lu Yuming brought Chu Sicheng over to play, Qin Sheng had specifically mentioned the gameplay of this level.
On this level, everyone who enters the room must choose a companion as a hostage to be held by the ghost next to the tongue-pulling torture device, while the others stay where they are and honestly answer three questions posed by hell.
In order to prevent players from cheating, a lie detector is even prepared in the room. Players must wear the lie detector when answering questions. Only if all three answers are green can they rescue their trapped companions.
Of course, this is just the rule of the game. Even if the lie detector lights up red, the NPC playing the ghost next to it cannot really pull out the player's tongue.
Unless he wants to ruin the store and send himself to jail to eat the government's food for a few years.
[So you can definitely contact your boss in advance and tell him what the three questions you want to know most are.]
On the dimly glowing mobile phone screen, Qin Sheng's message at this moment was like a lighthouse on the sea, pointing Lu Yuming in the direction.
The person on the other side probably also admired his clever brain. A cat head wearing sunglasses appeared in the dialog box between the two people. Then, Qin Sheng sent another sentence with a dog head.
【Now you know why I recommend you go on a date in a secret room. 】
knew.
This is beyond knowledge.
Otherwise, Zhao Datou can only be a big head, while Qin Sheng is already a supervisor in the prison.
At this moment, Lu Yuming also admired Qin Sheng's various plans very much.
Afterwards, after praising the other party a few words, Lu Yuming successfully obtained the boss's contact information.
After some negotiations, Lu Yuming knew in advance the three questions of today's third level.
When the ghost officer asked them to hand over a hostage, in order to ensure the smooth progress of his plan, he took the lead and stood next to the ghost officer to prevent Chu Sicheng from snatching the opportunity to be punished from him.
"...My mental state isn't very good, so you should answer the questions." Lu Yuming explained to Chu Sicheng who was looking at him suspiciously.
Perhaps to prevent NPCs from accidentally hurting guests in a dark environment, the lights in this more interactive room are brighter than those on the first two floors, at least allowing people in the room to see each other's faces clearly.
In the cold and depressing room, Lu Yuming cooperated with the ghost catcher to put on shackles and walked towards the tongue-pulling torture device. Thinking of the three issues he had discussed with his boss in advance, he couldn't help but look back at Chu Sicheng who was standing there.
Coincidentally, Chu Sicheng was also looking at him. Seeing him turn around and look at him, he raised his eyebrows and said:
"Are you scared?"
In order to create a terrifying atmosphere, the "hostages" need to go to another small room with the ghost. It is small and narrow, and cold liquid drips from the ceiling from time to time. They cannot see their companions outside, and can only hear voices and the broadcast of the judgment whether the other party is lying.
Sometimes, a long wait can be even more tormenting to a person's nerves.
After going through the previous two levels, Chu Sicheng also knew that Lu Yuming was not the kind of person who was brave enough to be afraid of nothing. In addition, the other party's eyes looked hesitant and entangled when he turned around, so he suggested that the two of them exchange tasks.
But the next second, Lu Yuming shook his head violently, "No! You answer!"
"?"
Chu Sicheng was stunned by Lu Yuming's violent reaction.
The latter responded and coughed twice in embarrassment, explaining, "Didn't I just say that I'm not mentally competent, so it's better for you to answer."
"……All right."
Seeing that Lu Yuming was so reluctant to answer the question, Chu Sicheng did not insist any more. He only added one more sentence before Lu Yuming entered the small room.
"If you're scared, just call me, don't force yourself."
Perhaps it was because there was an inexplicable tenderness in Chu Sicheng's tone that caused the ghost following Lu Yuming to look back and forth at the two of them.
However, there were also many couples coming here, so after a brief period of CP mode, the ghost messenger returned to work mode. He locked Lu Yuming on a chair in the small room with an expressionless face, and then walked to the corner next to him and waited for Chu Sicheng outside to answer the questions before proceeding to the next task.
The entire room was dead silent as the staff hid in the corners. Only the sound of soft breathing could be heard in the quiet space.
It seems to be getting colder around here...
Lu Yuming unconsciously exhaled a breath of hot air, and his fingertips began to become stiff on the cold iron plate. Just when he couldn't help but want to move his body, he heard a "ding" sound, and the next second, the sound of the mechanical tablet was transmitted through the broadcast into the two closed rooms.
"Now, please ask the ghost below to answer the first question."
“!!!”
Lu Yuming's heart beat faster.
Chu Sicheng didn't react much.
In a puzzle-solving room like this, the questions you choose are most likely related to life, but definitely irrelevant. After all, customers come here to play games, not to let the boss interrogate their private lives.
As for being nervous, that was even more impossible for Chu Sicheng. He had even been to a real hell, so how could he be afraid of such a fake scene?
However, just when Chu Sicheng was bored and ready to quickly finish the questions and pass this level, he heard the deliberately ethereal voice on the radio asking him:
"First question, have you recently been in a relationship with someone older than you?"
Chu Sicheng: “?”
What?
For a moment, Chu Sicheng even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he hear such an explosive question.
This is an escape room, right?
Why did he feel like he was suddenly transported to a truth or dare game in a bar?
Isn't this kind of question a bit too much for a secret room?
Chu Sicheng frowned and subconsciously wanted to take off the polygraph, kick open the door of the small room and lead Lu Yuming away.
But just as his fingertips touched the patch on his left hand, the hesitant look Lu Yuming gave him before entering the small room not long ago suddenly emerged in his mind.
so……
The thumb that was about to peel off the patch paused, and as his eyes moved, Chu Sicheng put his hand down again. At the same time, his expression returned to its initial calmness.
"No." He said lightly.
Lu Yuming in the small room suddenly widened his eyes.
No? !
Is this true or false?
Then why did he mention it before—wait a minute!
At that time, Chu Sicheng seemed to have just complained that when he was his age, he did not think that people five or six years older than him were old people. He did not directly say that he was in a relationship with an old man who was five or six years older than him.
So...he misunderstood everything?
His next question...
Lu Yuming was thinking of something when suddenly a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment appeared under his feet.
At this moment, he just wanted to jump up from his chair, rush out of the small room, get his mobile phone and revise the three questions he had carefully selected last night with his boss.
It was a pity that he was not the sprint champion of their sports meet this time, and the questions automatically played by the computer could not wait until Lu Yuming and the boss had communicated before playing them. It even started the next question before Lu Yuming called the staff to come and remove the shackles.
A green light flashed across the screen, representing the honesty of Chu Sicheng's first question and also foreshadowing the beginning of the next question.
So, when Chu Sicheng was supporting the table with one hand, leisurely waiting for Lu Yuming's next question, and when Lu Yuming wanted to rush out of the room to cover Chu Sicheng's ears to prevent him from listening to the broadcast, there was another "ding" sound.
The next second, Lu Yuming's second question, which he had carefully considered, was also rang out in both rooms.
"Second question, do you only consider dating people who are older than you?"
Chu Sicheng couldn't help but chuckle.
The electrocardiogram on the screen in front of him fluctuated slightly, but did not exceed the polygraph's criteria.
Then, the boy who was going crazy in the small room heard a calm voice, but it did not calm him down at all.
"No." Chu Sicheng said.
Age is not an issue.
As long as it's him.
