Chapter 20: Secret Chamber



At noon on the day of the holiday, after Gu Yueshuang finished her meal, Xu Qing and Zhou Yao carried her on both sides to the car heading to the secret room.

Gu Yang was still expressing his accomplice's feelings while sitting in the driver's seat: "Young people should go out and have fun together more often."

Lin Yanqiu asked: "Did you have any plans?"

Gu Yueshuang glanced at the people in the car, a coach who was driving, and the remaining four team members who were looking at her innocently.

It was exactly the same as the day when she was tricked into joining the pirate ship.

Gu Yueshuang looked left and right and asked, "Are we going on a team building trip?"

Add Fang Butao and it's complete.

POG went on a trip.

Gu Yang explained: "I'll take you there and then leave. You can call me when you're done or take a taxi back."

Zhou Yao also said, "If it weren't for the fact that photography and videography were forbidden in the secret room, Brother Tao would have definitely followed us here with a camera."

Xu Qing rambled on, "We're cultivating a tacit understanding. Five of us have played the escape room together, and that's a life-or-death bond. From now on, we'll definitely have an unprecedented tacit understanding on the field."

Gu Yueshuang was speechless, thinking to herself, are all men stupid?

When they arrived at the place, the group was afraid that she would escape, so they pushed her into the lobby of the secret room store.

Xu Qing was still mumbling: "I've spent all my money, you can't run away. This is a per-person fee... and I don't want you to reimburse me. Where can I find a teammate like me who is kind-hearted, generous and generous..."

Gu Yueshuang: "Thank you...?"

Xu Qing quickly smiled and said, "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. After all, you are young, so we four brothers should treat you well. Don't just thank me, your share is shared equally by the four of us."

Gu Yueshuang: "..."

Suddenly I felt a little weird.

I remember an unforgettable experience of being forced to treat someone to a meal - I had to escape from a secret room by forcing you to scare me to death. If I can't scare you to death, I lose.

Zhou Yao thought Gu Yueshuang was so moved she was speechless, so he patted her shoulder and said, "You're welcome. Just come help me out more often, if you have anything to do. Your brother Yao is very generous."

The two people who were sitting in the hall waiting for someone saw them coming and stood up to greet them: "Are you here?"

The gray contestant asked, "Why is the kid so pale? What's wrong? Are you scared before you even enter the secret room?"

Gu Yueshuang finally noticed them. Bewilderedly, she tugged at Lin Yanqiu's sleeve and asked, "Who are they? Do you know them?"

Chi Nan instantly exploded: "Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? You just saw it yesterday and you forgot it today?!"

Lin Yanqiu reminded him seriously, "The old dream chasing mid laner from FJ Team is called Chi Nan."

Chi Nan glared at Lin Yanqiu, very dissatisfied with this description.

The clerk only heard the word "old" and without even looking up, reminded: "People who are too old or have heart problems are not recommended to play escape rooms."

Chi Nan: “…………”

Gu Yueshuang added fuel to the fire: "It's okay, this old midfielder likes excitement."

The clerk looked up and realized that they were talking about the young man with gray hair. The people around him were trying to hold back their laughter, probably joking.

The clerk smiled and said humorously, "It's okay. Just don't faint in the secret room."

Chi Nan's face turned green, he snorted and stopped talking.

Xu Qing then stepped forward to smooth things over: "This secret room requires more than seven people, and we don't have enough people. They just happened to be on vacation, so they invited them over to play together. This is a good opportunity to iron out any grudges."

Gu Yueshuang asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Have you cultivated an unprecedented level of tacit understanding?"

Xu Qing sneered: "This is called knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."

Gu Yueshuang corrected: "It means a hundred battles without defeat."

Xu Qing scratched his head: "Oh..."

Xia Yan watched the show for a long time before finally standing up, extending his hand towards Gu Yueshuang and saying, "Let me introduce myself again. I'm Xia Yan, the jungler of the FJ team."

Gu Yueshuang subconsciously hid behind Lin Yanqiu and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, the child is shy and doesn't want to get to know me."

"I was the one speaking just now."

Lin Yanqiu took the blame very tacitly and habitually, even with a smile on his face.

Everyone: “…”

You are kidding me!

Lin Yanqiu reached out and shook hands with Xia Yan to ease the awkwardness, then explained, "This kid might have been traumatized by his time in the secondary league. In his eyes, all men are bad."

Zhou Yao agreed: "Yes, it took us a long time to get this kid to speak."

Xu Qing complained quietly: "When he opens his mouth, he usually doesn't say anything nice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yueshuang pinched him and he cried out in pain.

Xia Yan expressed deep sympathy: "I understand. We have problem children in our team as well."

But POG seems to be even more miserable. There is already an autistic child named Qin Ye, and now there is another one.

Xia Yan, with poverty alleviation as his starting point, helped Gu Yueshuang complete a tragic storyline in his mind, then gladly accepted it all, nodded calmly and said, "Get ready to enter the secret room."

Chi Nan was shocked: "Captain?!"

You won't even speak up for me?! You won't even help me get back at him? He's bullying me!

Xia Yan frowned, looking puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Chi Nan: "...It's okay."

His captain looked unhappy and a little fierce.

Gu Yueshuang hid behind Lin Yanqiu and made a face at Chi Nan.

Chi Nan: "...Fuck."

Two-faced monster!

After entering the secret room and taking off the blindfold, it was almost pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

Chi Nan nervously grabbed Xia Yan and said, "Captain, can you see any clues...Ah——!!"

“Ahhhh…!!!”

“Help!!”

Gu Yueshuang was startled by their shouting and wondered, "What's wrong?"

It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, there was a flash like thunder, and a female ghost dressed in white and with a hideous face appeared in the room.

A female ghost in white laughed eerily twice: "Welcome to the underworld——"

Zhou Yao yelled, "Ghost!"

As he said that, this rough and fierce-looking guy actually hid behind Gu Yueshuang.

Gu Yueshuang was also taken aback by the sudden change, but she remained calm and asked, "Any mission?"

The female ghost rushed towards Gu Yueshuang with excitement.

“Ah ...

Zhou Yao was so scared that he ran away, pulling Gu Yueshuang with him.

He had originally thought that Gu Yueshuang was calm and steady, and that it was safe to follow her. But who knew that she was also a MT who attracted aggro in the secret room! Her aggro value was too stable, and she even didn't let go of the NPC.

Gu Yueshuang: "No, wait—she must have a mission! It's impossible for her to wipe us out right away!"

Zhou Yao calmed down after touching the wall: "...It seems so?"

But he couldn't see where the female ghost was, so he could only find her when it thundered next time.

When the light flashed again, the female ghost had changed her target and was talking to Lin Yanqiu and Qin Ye.

I don't know where the others have hidden.

Gu Yueshuang bravely walked over to listen to the mission.

Although Zhou Yao knew that this female ghost was an NPC, he still couldn't help but feel scared when he suddenly saw that hideous face in the dark.

Female ghost NPC: "They kidnapped my younger brother. Gentlemen, please help me find him. I will escort you out, okay?"

Gu Yueshuang couldn't help but feel intimidated when she saw the special effects makeup. She asked, "Does your brother look like you?"

"It's different! He's very cute!" The female ghost NPC said, tears welling up in her eyes. "I was murdered by a traitor. I died tragically like this, which is why my face looks so hideous..."

Gu Yueshuang nodded: "Very dedicated, he actually got a role."

Seeing how anxious she had just been, Lin Yanqiu asked, "Did you get hurt anywhere?"

Gu Yueshuang: "No, I was just a little caught off guard... Sometimes this happens to Brother Liuhei as well, so it's okay."

Lin Yanqiu: "That's good."

Qin Ye got straight to the point: "How do we leave this room?"

Female ghost NPC: “…”

What's wrong with these three people? Not afraid at all, but they're actually chatting so nonchalantly?

Despite her complaints, she still pointed the way: "Here are the clues they left behind. As long as the officials find the right ones, they can get out."

Xu Qing bravely asked, "Is it a combination lock or a mechanical lock?"

The female ghost NPC, who rarely caught someone afraid of her, looked in the direction of the voice and said, "Sir, are you talking to me? Could you please come forward so I can see your face, lest it be a treacherous person pretending to be you, deceiving me."

Xu Qing quickly shrank back: "Don't come over here——"

Gu Yueshuang caught sight of a man with gray hair, who almost merged into the copy - he was also holding Xia Yan, who was so scared that he almost fainted.

"Hush." ​​Gu Yueshuang patted the female ghost NPC, pointed in the direction of Granny Gray, and whispered, "You can go over there and take a look, what if there's something there?"

The female ghost NPC bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."

Half a minute later——

"Ah ...

Gu Yueshuang shrugged: "Hearing your energetic voice, I feel relieved."

The owner of the escape room store couldn't help but burst out laughing while watching the surveillance video.

Most people who enter this secret room, especially with such a terrifying scene, will be scared out of their wits as soon as the scene starts.

These people are so funny, they even command NPCs to scare her companions.

Three hours later, the group finally passed the customs successfully.

The shop owner smiled and said, "It usually takes two and a half hours to get through. Does yours take a bit too long?"

Chi Nan immediately blamed Gu Yueshuang: "It's these people! They forced us timid people to do the solo mission!"

Gu Yueshuang said sarcastically, "You also know that it's you who's been delaying because you're timid, right?"

Chi Nan: “…”

Gu Yueshuang added: "And you drew the lottery, if you don't go, who will?"

Chi Nan took out his cell phone: "Wait, bully me, you're done."

Lin Yanqiu asked the shop owner, "Can you record some interesting places for us?"

The shop owner thought about it and readily agreed: "But for the sake of confidentiality, you can't take too many photos, especially not of key areas, okay?"

Lin Yanqiu nodded.

Xu Qing came out, finally regaining his spirits. "I've reached my exercise quota this month. Let me watch the video too. Is there anything I can laugh at about them? They're even more timid than me..."

Chi Nan was furious: "Bullshit! How could I be less courageous than you?"

Gu Yueshuang: "That's right, you two are equally matched, stop arguing."

Xu Qing: "Let's take a look at this white-haired guy's solo mission first. He screamed miserably when he went out. I want to see what happened."

The shop owner reminded: "I can show you, but you can't film this part."

This part is about Chi Nan going to pick up the younger brother of the female ghost NPC.

According to the female ghost, he was a cute little boy.

When he arrived at the scene, Chi Nan found that it was indeed a toy doll, but not very cute. Its big eyes were staring at him, which was creepy.

What was even more unexpected was that when he picked up the doll, it suddenly started giggling, which scared him so much that he threw the doll away and ran away.

But he was afraid of returning empty-handed and being embarrassed, so he finally mustered up the courage to run back and pick up the doll.

Gu Yueshuang: "Can we film the screams we heard while we were waiting for him?"

The shop owner smiled and nodded: "This is fine."

Chi Nan: “…”

He nudged Xia Yan: "Captain? Come back to your senses."

He originally wanted Xia Yan to help back him up, as he couldn't defeat five people alone, but now...

Xia Yan still had no expression on his face, but his face was pale, and he was obviously still immersed in fear.

Chi Nan couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that the captain, who looked so righteous, would actually be afraid of ghosts.

Chi Nan curled his lips: "Let's go and eat."

Gu Yueshuang wondered: "Do we still want to have dinner together?"

Lin Yanqiu whispered to her, "Grandpa is away today because of something, so we have to take care of dinner by ourselves."

Chi Nan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "I'll treat you to a meal, but you're not allowed to post the video online—"

Gu Yueshuang nodded: "Then I'll take you to eat together with me."

Chi Nan was furious.

How could such a person exist in the world?!

The author has something to say: Chi Nan, wake up, you are not fighting one against five, you can't even beat her alone.

I was late today too, but the red envelope is still there. The author is not far from writing at his own expense (wiping tears)
