Chapter 177 Yin Zhu's Escape from the Locked Room



It is known that the doctor's lantern can illuminate the darkness and protect the user's safety in the dark.

It is also known that the doctor's lantern was placed in the doctor's office.

Question: What will Yin Zhu do next?

The answer is simple: of course, we went straight to the office and snatched the doctor's lantern!

Yin Zhu's strong desire to leave the hospital as soon as possible stemmed in part from the advisors' reminders. It's common knowledge that the supernatural world doesn't give chosen ones indefinite time; countdown-like events often occur in various places.

Now that she knew there was a problem with the hospital, Yin Zhu wanted to find a way to leave as soon as possible before things got worse.

With the Holy Light resolved, the Unspeakable will arrange other countdowns.

Since the think tank mentioned that the Chosen Ones of all countries had basically encountered the death of Saint Radiance, it means that his death was inevitable, in other words, a "plot kill".

Before the plot's cruel joke falls on her head, Yin Zhu needs to find a way to escape the dungeon as soon as possible.

However, Yin Zhu wasn't the first newbie chosen one to stumble upon this dungeon by accident. After training from the think tank, she learned that many of the chosen ones' actions were actually for one purpose—

Eliminate incorrect options.

Unless you're a Fire Thief with the Silver talent, other talents don't directly provide a walkthrough.

Under these circumstances, one crucial task for the chosen one is to ensure their own safety while eliminating incorrect options.

After all, the unspeakable is extremely bad.

He will not tell the chosen one what the purpose of passing the test is; the chosen one must figure it out entirely on their own.

So far, the ultimate goal of all the dungeons has been to escape, whether it's escaping the train, escaping the hospital, escaping the company, escaping the town, or now escaping the Sin City. However, Yin Zhu can hardly guarantee that all future dungeons will also have the goal of escaping.

These "escapes" are all very concrete. Who knows if Unspeakable might suddenly have a brain fart and come up with something abstract?

The thought of this situation sent a chill down Yin Zhu's spine.

She played the game "Escape Room" on the computer when she was a child, and later she even tried escaping rooms herself, which she should have mentioned when she talked about haunted houses.

Yin Zhu mentioned at the time that she did not use normal reasoning methods to escape.

That time, Yin Zhu and several friends went to play an escape room game. Almost all of them were fixed in different positions by the staff, and only one friend was able to move freely.

So, after watching her free-roaming companion search for five minutes without finding the key to rescue her, Yin Zhu couldn't stand it anymore. She didn't want to spend her precious free playtime being handcuffed and waiting for someone to "rescue" her.

Yin Zhu adjusted the shape of her hand and forcefully pulled it out of the already somewhat loose handcuffs, thus tearing the skin on the side of her hand.

But for the sake of a fun escape room experience, these little problems don't matter!

Two people exploring together is definitely faster than one person, and soon, Yin Zhu found the key to unlock her third friend's handcuffs.

But what kind of simple and quiet children can play with Yin Zhu?

Of course not.

The third friend is Yin Zhu's childhood friend, Ruan Tiantian, a sweet little girl with dimples when she smiles.

She carried a screwdriver with her, and once her hands were free, she immediately helped the remaining handcuffed companions remove their handcuffs.

"Won't we get yelled at by the staff for doing this?"

At that time, Yin Zhu was very law-abiding.

Yes, we should follow that rule.

"It's okay, we can just put these back together before we leave!" Ruan Tiantian lived up to her name; her smile was incredibly sweet, making anyone who saw her feel better.

After that, everyone worked together to find the keys, move the table, and empty the containers, and everything went very smoothly.

It could be said that all the locked boxes in the secret room were pried open by Ruan Tiantian with a screwdriver, so much so that when they received the clue on the last piece of paper, everyone fell silent.

The paper read, "Do you remember the starting order of the treasure boxes?"

The children exchanged glances.

They have absolutely no recollection of this! They opened all the boxes directly with a screwdriver; who would remember the order in which they tightened the screws?

Not to mention that these boxes containing keys and clues all look pretty much the same.

Ruan Tiantian was silent for a moment, then rolled up her sleeves and said, "Fine, let's pry the door open. I'll unscrew the lock, and then we can get out!"

"Stop it, Sweetie!"

Her twin brother, Ruan Mianmian, grabbed her arm. "If we break in, the staff will probably dock our pay!"

"That's right, let's look for more clues. There's bound to be a way out."

"If all else fails, we can use exhaustive search..."

"..."

Looking back now, it still feels like a farce.

For Yin Zhu, this experience was indeed a very interesting escape room experience, although the solution method might be a bit unorthodox.

But... forget about the process, just ask yourself if you escaped!

Later, Yin Zhu visited other escape rooms, many of which indeed gave people a feeling of being very closed off and difficult to escape from, and were no longer so easy for people to use external forces to forcefully break through.

However, in terms of fun, that time left a deeper impression.

After all, there's probably no one else who could pull off such an outrageous escape room scenario...

Getting back to the point, Yin Zhu had actually already prepared a fairly complete plan. Since she didn't know where the doctor's office was, she also prepared a broom as a self-defense weapon in case she encountered any danger along the way.

If the corridor lights are flickering, it is undoubtedly safer to hide in a nearby room, but the people in the room may not be harmless to Yin Zhu.
