Han Chao had to run it again. This time, no ground soldiers chased after him, and Han Chao completed the mission.
The second round started quickly.
Mu Wenxi's heart was pounding, she was very nervous, and this time the drawer was getting closer and closer to the door.
Yu Zhiyuan: "Who goes first? Whoever goes first gets the nearest drawer."
Mu Wenxi: "Then I'll go first, the fifth drawer."
Mu Wenxi, holding a walkie-talkie, said, "Could you please stop letting the ground soldiers chase me? I'm coming over now."
There was no reply on the walkie-talkie, so Mu Wenxi quickly ran over and opened the fifth drawer, but there was no note inside!
"There's no note!"
Yu Zhiyuan: "Quickly, one over there."
Mu Wenxi quickly opened the sixth drawer, took out the note, and heard the footsteps of the Earth Soldier coming upstairs. Mu Wenxi forced himself to calm down and remember the words on the note. The Earth Soldier had already reached the door and pushed it open forcefully.
Mu Wenxi didn't have time to look at him, so he quickly closed the drawer and ran away, with Di Bing chasing after him.
Mu Wenxi: "Don't chase me, help!"
Yu Zhiyuan: "Oh my, I'm dying of laughter, so cute."
Mu Wenxi put away the birth date and time and felt completely relieved: "I'm all better now, the rest are yours."
The smiles on their faces froze instantly. Mu Wenxi was finally relieved of her anxiety and could calm down to carefully examine the birth dates on the wall.
Based on the previous plot, Mu Wenxi knew that these birth dates and times were most likely those of the two princes who had been switched, as well as the emperor, empress, and concubine.
Soon everyone else had finished their tasks, and the group finally arrived at the city wall to watch the actors' performance. The emperor stood by the city wall, wondering what he had been thinking about day and night.
Yu Zhiyuan: "You acted so well."
Mu Wenxi sighed. The most pitiful one inside must be that prince.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, she saw what appeared to be a man dressed in ancient clothes with disheveled hair sitting on the city wall. At first, she thought the man was an actor, but after a while, the man remained motionless. She rubbed her eyes but couldn't make out the man's face.
Mu Wenxi looked at her friends, but none of them seemed to react. Her heart tightened; could it really be a ghost?
She peeked close to Yu Zhiyuan and asked, "I can't see very clearly, can you help me see how many people are on the city wall right now?"
Yu Zhiyuan looked at her in surprise: "Two of them? They're so big and you can't even see them? I remember you're not nearsighted?"
Mu Wenxi: "I was probably a little scared, plus it was too dark inside and I wasn't used to it."
There were two, that was the Emperor and the Empress, not that disheveled man!
Mu Wenxi thought her eyes must be playing tricks on her, but the next second she looked over curiously again. This time she saw the man's face clearly, and she almost couldn't take her eyes off him.
He wore a jet-black robe with gold thread and cloud patterns, his jet-black hair fell smoothly down his back, and his deep black eyes under his sword-like eyebrows were cold and gloomy. Although his face was pale, he had an icy and aloof aura.
It's just too superior.
Seeing that the man seemed to be looking this way, Mu Wenxi quickly looked away and decided to pretend she couldn't see him, not wanting to cause trouble.
After the actors finished performing the scene, the long escape room experience finally came to an end. Mu Wenxi felt a great sense of relief as she walked out of the underground palace. She sighed and said, "Please don't call me next time. I won't come again."
Just as the staff were about to lead the group out the door, they heard Mu Wenxi's words and quickly came over: "What's wrong? Isn't it fun?"
Mu Wenxi said embarrassedly, "No, no, it's just too scary..."
Staff: "Please stay a little longer. We'll review the proceedings for you now. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."
Mu Wenxi looked dejected: "It'll be a while before we can leave."
The others just found it funny.
Yu Zhiyuan: "We'll come again next time. Overall, it's pretty good."
Mu Wenxi: "Please, please don't call me anymore, I really don't want to come, help me!"
Jiang Qi: "Hilarious! Is it really that scary?"
Mu Wenxi: "It's really scary."
As the staff walked around, they introduced the place to the group: "This is only moderately scary. We also have severe scary ones in our place."
Mu Wenxi: "Oh, I don't want to know, haha."
After finding a seat, the staff began to recount the entire escape room story to the group. The story was similar to what Mu Wenxi had guessed: the emperor had two wives, one of whom killed the other and switched her son's with another's. The story follows the son as he grows up, learns the truth, and seeks revenge for his mother.
Mu Wenxi: "So, that's how the story goes."
Staff member: "Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Mu Wenxi rolled her eyes: "Your scene is so realistic, did you have it designed by someone?"
Staff member: "I don't know about that."
Yu Zhiyuan: "Let's go, let's come play again next time."
Mu Wenxi quickly moved a few steps away from her: "Really, don't call me anymore."
Yu Zhiyuan: "Okay, okay, by the way, let's take a group photo here, Jiang Qi and Han Chao together."
Jiang Qi: "Coming!"
Yu Zhiyuan took a picture of the four of them with her phone: "I'll send it to you guys when I get back."
Mu Wenxi thought for a moment and took out his phone to take a picture of the tomb entrance as a souvenir. The man on the city wall was still sitting motionless.
After taking the picture, she took out her phone and zoomed in to look at a certain corner. There was nothing there, but when she looked up, why was the man still there? Could it be that there was something wrong with her eyes?
Mu Wenxi quietly asked Jiang Qi, "Did you see anything strange?"
Jiang Qi: "What strange thing?"
Mu Wenxi: "You mean ghosts or something?"
Jiang Qi: "Are you really scared out of your wits? Quickly have Zhiyuan take you back to rest."
Mu Wenxi suddenly lunged forward, pretending to scare Jiang Qi: "Haha! I was just kidding you."
Jiang Qi rolled her eyes: "Speechless."
Mu Wenxi waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving. You guys keep having fun. No need to see me off. I won't bother you anymore."
Yu Zhiyuan: "Are you sure you don't need to see me off? I'll call you next time."
Jiang Qi and Han Chao: "Let's play together again next time."
Mu Wenxi pretended not to hear and kept running forward.
Jiang Qi: "Zhiyuan, your friend is pretty, but she's too timid."
Yu Zhiyuan stomped on his foot: "Of course girls are timid. Do you think everyone is a tomboy like me? Speechless. You have no gentlemanly manners at all. Wen Xi definitely won't come next time."
Han Chao: "Exactly, exactly, he has absolutely no gentlemanly manners."
Jiang Qi: "How dare you say that to me? You should have done more missions to save the damsel in distress just now."
Han Chao: "Cough cough, but I'm scared too..."
Yu Zhiyuan: "Tch."
