"Poor Li!"
Gu Liyan was shivering from the cold, her hands and feet were so cold she couldn't move them. Almost exhausted, Gu Liyan put her legs down, her toes were already stiff...
Hua Baixian got up and saw Mo Chen standing at the door with a tense expression. She asked in confusion, "Mo Chen, what's wrong? Is there any news about Xiao Li?"
Mo Chen glanced at Hua Baixian, then coldly handed her the phone and said, "See for yourself!"
Hua Baixian took it with a puzzled look, glanced down at it, and immediately widened her eyes. "This, this is Xiao Li?! How could this be?! Is this a live broadcast?"
Mo Chen's face darkened. "I think he must have been kidnapped by Zhang Wei last night and then taken to play some kind of escape room game!"
Hua Baixian covered her mouth as she watched Gu Liyan in the live stream, her eyes welling up with tears. "Little Li, Little Li!"
At this moment, Gu Liyan suddenly suffered a stroke, and his whole body trembled even more violently. Because no one was around, he screamed incessantly in unbearable pain. His desperate cries were so pitiful that they were heartbreaking to hear.
"What's wrong with Mo Li?"
"He looks like he's in a lot of pain! So pitiful!"
"The production team is so heartless! Stop filming right now! Can't you see how much pain Li is in?!"
After a few minutes of pain, Gu Liyan's expression eased, but the surrounding chill continued to torment him. Gu Liyan dared not waste any more time and lifted his other leg to try again...
"Keep going, Xiao Li!" Hua Baixian encouraged, her voice choked with emotion.
The comments section also offered continuous encouragement:
"Mo Li, you're the best! Keep it up!"
"Go, Xiao Li!"
The number of viewers in the live stream kept increasing, and many foreign accounts also appeared, with comments all in English...
Gu Liyan was unaware that he was being watched by many people; all he knew was that he couldn't die here, he had to survive!
Gu Liyan gritted his teeth and pulled hard. His arm loosened, and the knot came undone! Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief, untied the other side of the rope, and regained his freedom.
The excited comments section below has caused the screen to freeze:
"Mo Li is amazing!"
"I, Li, am my god! Irreplaceable!"
Hua Baixian also breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Chen picked up his phone, exited the live stream, and dialed a number. The other end quickly answered, "Immediately investigate the location of the warehouse in the video and send people to find it..."
"Yes, Master Mo. How many men should we send?"
"Need it? Of course, it's the entire security team!" Mo Chen roared angrily. "Can't you see he's sick? He can't hold on for even an hour! If there are no clues in an hour, you can all go eat shit!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go find it right away!"
Hua Baixian stared at Gu Liyan in the live stream on her phone...
Gu Liyan regained her freedom, put on her shoes, hugged herself, and went to the door, only to find that the door had an electronic lock that required a 6-digit password.
Remembering that Xuan Tiandao had said he would leave me clues, Gu Liyan immediately began searching the warehouse.
"What is Mo Li doing?"
"Why aren't you going out yet? What are you looking for?"
"Could there be treasure in this warehouse?"
"Escape room games always have a mechanism to solve, and this one definitely makes you crack the code."
Gu Liyan discovered a black box in the corner, locked with the oldest kind of lock.
Gu Liyan didn't have a key, so after thinking for a moment, she took off the ring on her hand, bent it into the shape of a wire, and easily opened it.
Seeing Gu Liyan's actions, they couldn't help but applaud. They hadn't expected Gu Liyan to have this hidden skill. Inside the box was a slip of paper with a six-digit number written on it. Gu Liyan smiled. Fortunately, Xuan Tiandao hadn't given him any more difficult questions, otherwise, he would have wasted too much time on this first challenge.
Once you open the door, you've overcome the first hurdle.
As soon as I stepped into the second warehouse, the lights automatically turned on, and the room was no longer as cold as the previous one; the temperature returned to normal.
Gu Liyan discovered that a row of three-meter-high horizontal bars had been placed there at some point, with a one-meter-deep water tank underneath.
Gu Liyan was puzzled when a mechanical voice suddenly sounded, "Congratulations, player, on passing the first level of the escape room. I am the guide robot for the escape room game. You can call me Xiao Mi."
Gu Liyan opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse, "What are the rules for this level?"
"Just pass the horizontal bar, and you're good to go," Xiaomi said mechanically.
Gu Liyan looked around, thinking that this couldn't be so simple, and asked, "What is the water down there?"
"High-concentration saline solution".
Gu Liyan looked puzzled. If Xuan Tiandao wanted to harm him, why would he use something like sulfuric acid instead of salt water?
"Please begin the challenge, otherwise you will be considered to have forfeited."
Gu Liyan asked, "What happens if I abstain?"
Xiao Mi remained silent, pretending to be mute. Gu Liyan thought for a moment and realized that he could only take it one step at a time, since it wasn't that far away anyway.
Gu Liyan leaped with all her might and grabbed the horizontal bar, but her expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly let go and fell to the ground.
The comments section exploded:
"No way? So weak!"
"Xiao Li, I misjudged you!"
"I thought he was so strong, but he's already done for!"
Gu Liyan's face turned deathly pale. He hugged his arms, gritted his teeth, and trembled. "Damn it—they actually electrified it!"
Gu Liyan calmed down, looked around and noticed the word "power switch" written on the side. Gu Liyan walked over and angrily pulled the power switch, plunging the room into darkness.
Night filming began, and everyone stared intently at the screen because Gu Liyan had moved. In the darkness, his eyes saw without any obstruction, smoothly and swiftly clearing the horizontal bar one after another—
