The sound was so loud it could rupture eardrums.
He Zhou thought something had happened to Cheng Yi, so he rushed in and found her crouching on the ground, trembling with fear. When He Zhou touched her shoulder to comfort her, Cheng Yi kept waving her hands, her fear evident. Finally, He Zhou restrained her and brought her back from her terror.
Cheng Yi raised her head, her lips pale, and the light in her eyes gradually gathered.
Even though the secret room was filled with an eerie green light that blurred people's faces, she could still clearly feel the disgust emanating from everyone.
He Sui pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you go back, Xiaoyi?"
She's already this scared before we've even started. What will happen if we live in constant screaming noise? How will we solve the mystery then?
Even if they can't tolerate it, her classmates will probably have some opinions about her.
Cheng Yi retorted immediately, "No, I'm not going back!"
She clutched He Zhou's clothes tightly and said, "I... I'm okay. Third Brother will protect me. With Third Brother here, I'm not afraid."
He Zhou frowned, finally realizing how wrong it was to call her over. But since she was the one who called him, he naturally had to take responsibility. So he could only say, "Then I'll be in your group. Close your eyes tightly and don't open them. Also, cover your ears. I'll lead you."
Cheng Yi didn't want to be kicked out, so she nodded obediently. Out of respect for He Zhou, the others didn't say anything more.
He Jing said, "Then let's begin."
The puzzle-solving and escape from the locked room 01 has just begun.
Escape Room 01 is a horror-themed game set in the Republican era. It tells the story of the eldest son of the Lin family who is forced to marry a young lady from a prestigious family due to the interests of his family. He abandons his beloved Hui Niang. On the night of his wedding, Hui Niang commits suicide and becomes a vengeful spirit, lingering in the Lin family's old mansion and refusing to leave. Players must guess Hui Niang's wish based on clues, help her fulfill it, and send her into reincarnation. The Escape Room 01 that players are currently in is the Lin family's old mansion.
He Jing glanced at the closed gate of the Lin family mansion and said, "The door isn't open. Let's find a way to open it."
He Sui picked up the antique brass lock and fiddled with it, saying, "We need to find the key. Let's split up and look for it."
There were three walls outside the gate of the Lin family mansion, each with strange patterns. He Chen took the flashlight given to him by the staff, shone it on the wall, and said, "It looks like an animal."
Wu Yu quickly went over and said, "It's a turtle."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen Qiuyu behind her exclaimed, "I have one too!"
He Sui hurriedly came over, and by the light of the green background in the secret room, he looked and said, "It's a little bird."
Yan Hanxi stood in front of another wall and said, "I have a cat over here."
Wu Yu looked completely bewildered: "What kind of clue is this? It's probably just something drawn on randomly, right? Why don't we look for the flowerpots in the corner and see if the key is there?"
He Jing spoke calmly: "The key is on the east wall."
Everyone except Yan Hanxi turned around and was stunned.
"Why?"
He Sui, quick-witted, suddenly realized: "That's right, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise. The tortoise is the Black Tortoise, the bird is the Vermilion Bird, the cat is the White Tiger, but the Azure Dragon is missing. The Azure Dragon's direction is east, but..."
He looked at He Jing with some confusion: "Why is it on the wall?"
Before He Jing could answer, Yan Hanxi smiled and said, "Because it's easier to find if it's placed on the ground. This wall isn't topped but it's two meters high. Most people aren't tall enough to be that tall, so it's the safest place to put it there."
