How...how could this be!
Cheng Yi's beautiful eyes widened, and she almost screamed!
Even Chen Yu was shocked and utterly astonished.
this!
How is that possible!
He Jing took out the chip inside, glanced at it, and handed it to Yan Hanxi.
She didn't even glance at the people in the room before she was about to leave when Chen Yu snapped back to reality and called out, "Wait!"
He Jing paused, glancing back slightly.
Chen Yu tried to remain calm and asked in a composed tone, "How exactly did you crack it so quickly?"
He Jing remained expressionless, glanced at the neatly arranged playing cards on the ground, and said indifferently, "I don't think I have an obligation to tell you."
She had already obtained the points, and she had a rough idea of the mastermind behind it all; everything was going smoothly.
Chen Yu, always persistent, pressed on, saying, "I want to know where I went wrong."
Yan Hanxi casually fiddled with the chip, and smiled unhurriedly, "You lost because your partner didn't have enough intelligence, but liked to play mind games."
Chen Yu turned to look at Cheng Yi, seeing her pitiful appearance, and didn't see anything wrong with her. He stared coldly at Yan Hanxi and said, "Losing is my fault. Please don't take this opportunity to humiliate a girl."
Yan Hanxi said with a laugh, "She didn't hold back when she humiliated my girl."
He Jingwei glared at Yan Hanxi angrily. Who was his girl!
“He Jing is not good with words, so you can say whatever you want. But since you insist on asking, I will make it clear to you—” Yan Hanxi’s smile faded a little. “From the beginning, we did not rely on the number of cards for clues, because it was too time-consuming and laborious, which went against the original intention of the escape room brain teaser and turned it into a physical task. The only useful thing about playing cards that I talked about was the meaning of the King and Queen.”
"The King and the Little King represent the sun and the moon, respectively, which perfectly matches the two planets in the background story. The background story specifically mentions that the roses bloom in General Thor's homeland and there is only daytime, while the planet where General Thor surrendered has no plants and only nighttime. Therefore, the clue of this display case belonging to General Thor's homeland should be found on the King."
"But actually, even without knowledge of playing cards, you can still crack this clue." He Jing added calmly, "A deck of cards has 52 cards, the most special ones are the two jokers. In order to cater to the experience of most players, the escape room designers will not make the puzzles too complicated. In general, the first digit of the password is placed on the table, which is basically a freebie."
ha?
The answer they painstakingly sought by arranging the playing cards for so long was, in He Jing's eyes, a complete waste of time.
The other players were stunned.
If it was given away for free, then why did they spend so much time arranging the playing cards?
Upon reflection, they suddenly realized that they had done what Cheng Yi had told them without even asking for the specific reasons.
Then, they joined Cheng Yi in criticizing He Jing for not helping, which...
How stupid!
The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it seems.
He Jing already has the correct solution to the puzzle and knows that arranging the playing cards is useless, so why should she waste her time doing something pointless with them?
If Cheng Yi hadn't led them astray and criticized He Jing, He Jing might have reminded them!
Thinking about this, they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, realizing what kind of cunning trap they had fallen into!
