He Zhou withdrew his cold gaze from He Jing and Yan Hanxi, and answered expressionlessly, "I couldn't find her when I went out. The staff at the escape room said she joined another team and bought a new ticket to enter, so I came back."
He Sui exclaimed "Huh?", "Then how did you get in, Third Brother? Did you buy a ticket again?"
He Zhou said coldly, "Someone was standing at the door and was so scared that he cried. He gave me his ticket, and in return, all the points I got for solving the puzzle belonged to him."
He Jing understood; Cheng Yi must have already connected with Chen Yu.
Although she didn't know why the plot had gone off track and become increasingly absurd after she transmigrated, she was certain that the entanglement between the female lead and the male supporting character would remain unchanged.
After all, He Ning still loves Cheng Yi; only Yan Hanxi, the male protagonist who has the same status as Cheng Yi, has changed.
After asking He Zhou, it was time to ask He Jing. He Ning moved his thin lips, but couldn't utter a sound.
It's self-evident what a man and a woman might do if left alone in that dark place.
Seeing that He Sui's face was turning red and he couldn't hold back from asking a lot of questions, He Jing quickly spoke up first, saying, "I just had some questions I wanted to discuss with Yan Hanxi. Although it's dark there, there are surveillance cameras, and they're real-time. Why don't we think about how to get through Room 05? From here on, it's a two-person team mission."
That's true...
The blush on He Sui's face faded instantly, but he was still dissatisfied: "If you have any problems, you can discuss them with me. Why do you always follow that kid?"
Yan Hanxi chuckled softly, neither confirming nor denying.
He Zhou stared intently at him, his heart filled with anger, but he still didn't expose what he had just seen.
Everyone had no choice but to turn their attention back to Escape Room 05. The escape room director said that starting from Escape Room 05, the difficulty of all levels would increase dramatically, and in order to escape successfully, the groups would need to be changed.
He Jing and Yan Hanxi remained in the same group. He Sui was assigned to a group with Shen Qiuyu, He Ning was assigned to Wu Yu, and He Yi and He Chen were grouped together again.
He Yi and He Chen exchanged a glance, both seeing disgust and helplessness in each other's eyes.
If possible, they would rather act alone than go on missions together.
There's only one Hezhou left...
"I'm entrusting the most important part to you," He Ning said coldly. "Take good care of Xiao Guo."
If they were to be paired up, it wouldn't be appropriate for He Xiaoguo to continue with He Jing and Yan Hanxi. He spends the most time with He Xiaoguo and is better able to take care of her.
He Zhou had no objections and left with He Xiaoguo.
He Jing said to Yan Hanxi, "Let's go."
Everyone went their separate ways and entered different rooms.
Escape Room 05 is a very special escape room because although it is a two-player team escape, each team is interconnected. Each team has one opportunity to communicate and pass on important clues to each other. Teams that cannot escape in this escape room will not have the opportunity to play Escape Room 06.
It's impossible to say there's no pressure.
Fortunately, the mystery of this locked room was simpler than He Jing had imagined. After quickly gathering all the clues, it was time to contact the other groups.
He Jing stared at the clues in front of her, lost in thought. She had found four clues: a man's glasses, a man's watch, a girl's diary, and... a woman's bra. Two of the four clues contradicted each other, so it was clear that two were true and two were false.
He Jing paused for a moment, then decided to ask Yan Hanxi for his opinion: "What are your thoughts?"
Yan Hanxi was seen turning to the side, admiring the blood-stained painting on the wall, pretending to be nonchalant, but the tips of his ears were inexplicably red.
He Jing: "..."
He was blushing as he tried to solve the mystery!
He Jing frowned slightly, wanting to ask more, but then belatedly looked at the women's bra in her hand, her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly stuffed the bra into the box and slammed the box shut.
Then, feigning composure, she chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so innocent. Where did that flirting spirit go? What's there to be shy about? There are plenty of women's sections in department stores. Maybe you'll even be helping your girlfriend pick out styles in the future."
Yan Hanxi finally turned around, his gaze falling on the box. After a full three seconds, his eyes flickered with a meaningful and ambiguous look as he asked, "Oh? What color do you like?"
