Chapter 200 Lu Shijing: I'm scared, let me hold your hand.
In just a short while, Lu Shijing had already bought the tickets, and Yun Shu didn't say anything more, intending to go into the secret room to see what was going on.
Let's go.
Lu Shijing walked towards the entrance of the secret room and took Yun Shu's hand.
Yun Shu felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to pull her hand back, but Lu Shijing suddenly stopped and turned to stare at her for a while.
He said, "Let me hold your hand."
"But……"
Before Yun Shu could finish speaking, Lu Shijing's voice came again, "I'm scared."
Yun Shu: ?
What are you afraid of?
Last time you encountered a real ghost, you weren't scared at all. You even scared the female ghost!
Seeing her blank expression, Lu Shijing's lips curled up slightly, and then he continued to hold Yun Shu's hand, leading her into the secret room.
After entering the secret room, Yun Shu felt that the yin energy inside was even stronger. She stopped paying attention to Lu Shijing holding her hand and began to search for the origin of the ghost handprint by following the yin energy in the secret room.
Other people, all of whom were couples, were also playing in the escape room with them.
In addition to solving puzzles and clearing levels, this escape room also features real people dressed as NPCs who deliberately come out to scare people, resulting in a continuous stream of screams coming from inside.
Lu Shijing held Yun Shu's hand tightly the whole time, following her wherever she went.
"Time's almost up. Why don't you go over there and take a look? I'll break the mechanism here."
Yun Shu said to him.
Lu Shijing first glanced in the direction Yun Shu was pointing, then, with his handsome but cold face, he said seriously, "It's too dark there, I'm scared, I don't want to go alone."
Yun Shu: "..."
Fine, fine, whatever makes you happy!
Yun Shu remained silent for a while, but instead of asking him to leave, she squatted down and searched the cabinet to see if there was a key to pass through.
"It's not here, let's go check over there."
Yun Shu stood up, ready to leave.
Just as she stood up, the decorative window next to the cabinet suddenly opened, and an NPC with long hair climbed in from the other side of the window.
On the other side of Yun Shu's secret room, another couple was looking for a key. The two of them immediately let out a scream of terror and huddled together in a corner.
"A ghost!!"
Lu Shijing looked at the couple for a while, then reached out and hugged Yun Shu.
Yun Shu: "..."
You're getting into acting, aren't you?
Yun Shu's lips twitched, and she said to him, "That's a person in disguise, what are you afraid of?"
"He dressed up so ugly."
Upon hearing this, Yun Shu pondered for a moment, then pulled away from Lu Shijing's tightly clasped hands and walked up to the NPC.
The NPC was a boy. He didn't expect Yun Shu to dare to walk over, so he looked down at her, then lifted the long hair that was covering his eyes, revealing a ferocious mask, trying to scare Yun Shu away.
Yun Shu's expression didn't change much.
The next second, the NPC felt his legs dangling in the air, as if he had been lifted up by the thin and weak girl in front of him!
Yun Shu simply picked up the NPC, stuffed him back into the window, and quickly closed it.
NPC: ?
The couple watching nearby: ? ? ?
Yun Shu returned to Lu Shijing and said nonchalantly, "Alright, you don't need to be afraid anymore."
Lu Shijing: "..."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Shu turned around and went to look for the keys elsewhere, no longer letting him hold her hand.
She went to the next room and saw that it was decorated like an ancient wedding room, with red silk hanging everywhere and red candles lit.
In the very center of the room were two armchairs, and on the table between them was a red veil.
“My friend played this escape room, and she said the key to this level is hidden inside that chair. As soon as someone sits on it and puts on the red veil, the key will fall out.”
But I'm too scared to sit there. My friend said that once she sat down, an NPC secretly touched her shoulders and ankles, deliberately trying to scare her. "Why don't you sit down?"
"Okay, then I'll go sit down."
The voices of the couple from earlier could be heard coming from the doorway.
The girl pointed to the armchair and said that she wanted to sit inside it, but she was too afraid to sit on it and asked her boyfriend to sit on it instead.
Her boyfriend walked straight to the armchair, sat down, and prepared to cover her face with a red veil.
Just as he was about to put the red veil on, Yun Shu walked over and took the red veil away.
Yun Shu said with a solemn expression, "You can't cover this up, or you're dead."
The couple were both stunned for a moment.
Then, the girl said to Yun Shu, "But the key will only fall out if the red veil is put on, otherwise we won't be able to get the key."
The boy said, "It's just a piece of red cloth, what's the big deal? It'll just cover me up. At most, the hidden NPCs might touch me a couple of times, but I'm a rough guy, it's fine."
He reached out to take back the red veil.
Yun Shu stared at him intently and said, "You will die."
Upon hearing this, the boy's heart skipped a beat. "Why are you scaring me? It's just an escape room game, not some kind of..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Shu pointed to his shoulder and said, "Look at your shoulder, there's a ghost handprint. This chair and this veil are suspicious; they're not ordinary props. Someone sat here and got touched before, so maybe it wasn't an NPC who touched them."
