Chapter 65 cleared!
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan watched the three people suddenly disappear without dwelling on it and continued heading up to the third floor.
Just as the two were heading upstairs, a loudspeaker suddenly blared throughout the entire villa.
"Yunxi, Jiang Xiubai has been captured!"
...
"Zhong Ran, Leng Yifan has been captured!"
...
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan exchanged a glance. How could they be arrested?
When the two reached the third floor, they found that there were even more 'ghosts' on the third floor.
The two men, hiding on either side, were getting closer and closer to their destination.
Just as the two were hiding again, they ran into Xia Yu and Hou Yunqi.
"What a coincidence!" Xia Yu waved to the two of them.
"You've been here the whole time?" Xu Wang asked quietly, looking at the short video on their phones.
Seeing the other person's gaze, Xia Yu hurriedly put away her phone, forcing a calm expression: "How could that be? We're just hiding temporarily, aren't we, Lao Hou?"
"Mm." Hou Yunqi nodded honestly.
[I'm reporting them! They're just hiding here, not moving at all, and Xia Yu is still scrolling through your couple short videos, really engrossed in them.]
[Haha, I liked, commented, and shared this post; I didn't miss a single one!]
[Hou Yunqi wore a helpless yet doting expression.]
[Xia Yu: Luckily, I wasn't watching their CP video just now, otherwise I would have been exposed.]
[I'm laughing so hard!]
Xu Wang looked incredulous. After the 'ghosts' outside had all left, he pulled Pei Yanchuan outside.
"Aren't you coming out?" Xu asked, looking at the two people behind him who remained motionless.
"No, no, we need to think about it some more." Xia Yu quickly waved her hand.
"Alright, we'll be going now."
Xia Yu finally relaxed after watching the two leave.
"I was so scared! They almost found out I was shipping them as a couple." Xia Yu turned around with a relieved look on her face.
"I'm so lucky, aren't I, Lao Hou?"
"Old Hou?" Xia Yu looked up in confusion when she didn't hear a response.
Hou Yunqi was seen staring quietly behind Xia Yu.
Looking at the other person's serious expression, Xia Yu felt a chill run down her spine and slowly turned around.
A pale-faced ghost appeared before them.
"ah!"
Meanwhile, Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan finally arrived at the room door.
"Xia Yu, Hou Yunqi has been captured!"
…………
Just as Xu Wang placed his hand on the doorknob, the loudspeaker in the villa blared again.
After hearing this, Xu Wang quickly opened the door, only to be confronted by a leisurely ghost.
There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 walkie-talkies placed in front of this ghost.
Xu Wang took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket. There was an 8 on the back, so it seemed that this walkie-talkie corresponded to the 8th walkie-talkie in front of him.
Oh no! The male ghost saw the walkie-talkie in Xu Wang's hand and knew something was wrong. He immediately tried to find a chance to escape.
But before he could even step out of the door, Pei Yanchuan grabbed his collar.
O~MG~
Snap!
The door to the room was closed again.
A series of strange sounds came from the room: *snap*, *crack*...
Ten minutes later, the door to the room opened, and Xu Wang walked out satisfied, holding the clues he wanted.
The male ghost, with tears streaming down his face, stood behind the two and successfully became their second victim.
Outside the villa, the director watched this scene with a heavy expression, his hands resting on the table in front of him.
The assistant director fanned him with a banana leaf fan to cool him down.
"Boss, do you think they can win by clearing the level like this?"
"How can it not count? The clues were all obtained by myself, so how can they not count?" The director scratched his messy hair in exasperation.
Inside the villa, Xu Wang pulled out a clue he had just found during his search of the house—a map of the villa, or you could say a treasure map.
After Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan went up to the second floor, they found a safe place and began to read carefully.
Pei Yanchuan moved his finger down the map, finally landing on the image of the treasure chest at the bottom: "Basement."
Yes, Xu Wang clapped his hands excitedly.
After confirming the location of the final key, the two quickly moved downstairs.
The basement appeared even darker, with very little light on the walls on both sides.
The two walked along the road and eventually arrived at the room in the middle of the basement.
In the center of the room was a stone platform, on which sat a golden treasure chest.
When Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan arrived, they also encountered two other survivors.
Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai.
The two of them were lucky; they came down from the second floor and stumbled into the basement by accident.
After greeting the two, Xu Wang approached the treasure chest. There were two combination locks on the chest, which looked like they required a password to unlock.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Pei Yanchuan took out the photo album he was carrying.
Xu Wang's eyes lit up; perhaps the password was in this photo album.
Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai also looked over.
The four of them gathered together, sharing the clues they had found.
Xu Wang looked at all the clues in front of him and began to think about the connection between them.
Suddenly, Xu Wang caught a glimpse of a badge out of the corner of his eye. Why did the pattern on the badge look a bit like the pattern in the photo album?
Xu Wang placed the badges and photo album together, and then the others noticed that something was wrong.
Pei Yanchuan picked out the corresponding patterns from the photo album and saw that they were the numbers 7, 9, 2, and 8.
Xu Wang turned the combination lock on the photo album according to these four numbers.
With a click, the combination lock loosened.
The photo album was then opened, which documented the growth of a duchess, with photos of her at various stages of her life, each showing her wearing a key-shaped necklace around her neck.
The group carefully examined the photo album and found that the Duchess had a badge in the lower right corner of several photos at different ages, namely six, eight, eighteen, thirty-six, and eighty years old.
Xu Wang and Qin Huai turned the combination lock according to these numbers.
With two clicks, the treasure chest was successfully opened.
Just as the four men took out their keys, a loudspeaker blared from inside the villa.
"Congratulations to all the teachers for successfully obtaining the key! The hostages are released!"
