【No?! Aren't you masters?! Run away!!】
Yang Hao stared blankly at the compass in his hand. Why were all the paths leading to safety?! No matter how he looked at it, there wasn't a single dead end!
He looked at Du Ruoxi and froze. This was truly his first Waterloo. Director Lin really knew how to stir things up.
Last time they found a house with no problems for feng shui to check, and this time they're looking for another escape route from a secret room full of escape routes?!
Is this some kind of outrageous nonsense?!
He felt that agreeing to participate in the recording with Director Lin was a bad decision; he would have been better off like Xiaobai, being eliminated at the very beginning. Now it was just him and Du Ruoxi left.
Du Ruoxi is a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which means he's the only one with a foundation in metaphysics. That's much more embarrassing than a complete novice!
Why isn't the feng shui master saying anything?! I'm getting so anxious!!
That's right, I'm getting really anxious too.
What exactly happened?!
I feel like it's all over. What's the way out? Time is running out!
[Watching this countdown made me really nervous. I thought a bunch of masters could handle it easily, but it turned out to be useless!!]
[The shamanic encounter just now was so close to the correct answer, but it disappeared.]
Du Ruoxi comforted Yang Hao, and seeing that he remained silent for a long time, she roughly guessed what was going on.
"It's alright. If we rely on these to get through, it would actually make us look worse. Let's split up and look for more clues. If all else fails, we don't have much time left."
Du Ruoxi's gentle yet firm voice made Yang Hao feel incredibly ashamed. He really wanted to explain that he had played in escape rooms before, but he had never actually used a compass in one! After all, who would take their working colleagues out to play after work?!
There are always escape routes. It has to be said, Mr. Lin's secret recording studio must be perfect for fire safety inspections; there's an exit every single way!
After his last show ended, he got a lot more orders, and he was really looking forward to showing off, but he couldn't escape at all!
[Haha, there are escape routes everywhere, but we just can't get out. It's kind of funny O(∩_∩)O haha~]
[Your smile upstairs is so bright; you've obviously never played an escape room game before.]
[I've played it, but the experience wasn't great. The environment was dark, you couldn't see anything clearly, and props kept popping out like heads. Aside from the scary atmosphere and dim lighting, it wasn't fun at all. I really don't know how you escape room enthusiasts manage to play it?]
[You're playing a horror game, right? Maybe try a different genre next time.]
Thanks! I still really like the escape rooms in this show. Judging from Mr. Lin's past practices, they should be opened up after filming, right? The lighting wasn't dim, and there weren't any special languages or weird puzzles. But looking at those eliminated games, I'm actually a little tempted to try them out! \(^o^)/~
On the other hand, wouldn't it be less fun to play the escape room after watching this variety show? After all, the escape room has already been solved.
[What are you thinking upstairs? A bunch of masters haven't cracked it, how are you going to crack it?! Are you going to make a one-life speedrun?]
Yang Hao struggled to find clues, and as the countdown dwindled, his heart grew colder and colder; he was starting to consider giving up.
Du Ruoxi was still searching diligently, not letting go of any clue. However, with so many clues, each game seemed so simple, requiring only a little thought to complete.
This made her hesitate. She felt that some of these people were the same as those who had been eliminated before, but there were also the real answers.
The time ranges from two digits to one digit.
Yang Hao waited dejectedly for the final ultimatum. Du Ruoxi was anxious for the first time. There wasn't enough time for her to analyze each one, so she decided to take a gamble and choose one randomly.
Just then, Shang Hongbing appeared and said, "This episode of 'Escape Room' has ended. Congratulations to both of you for successfully passing the challenge."
"Huh?! I cleared the game?!"
Shang Hongbing looked at Yang Hao, who was already exhausted, and nodded affirmatively.
"No?! This?! We didn't find it either?!.....Okay."
Yang Hao felt that words could hardly describe the turbulent emotions he was experiencing, but the comments filled in the gaps in his thoughts, leading to a mental breakdown and acceptance of reality.
[Hahaha, this feng shui guy's words are packed with information! My brain's been racing, and I finally gave up trying to think about it.]
[Raise your hand to complete this. Wait, this is an escape room game?! They couldn't find a way out either?! Oh, it's an escape room reality show, not a typical escape-the-world show, okay.]
[Me too! Isn't this an escape room reality show?! How did we already finish?! We haven't found the exit either?! Is it a survival game to win? Okay (╯▽╰).]
Forget about him, my brain is completely stuck with Lin Gou's knife. Otherwise, I would have noticed long ago!!!
[Hahaha, it's all Lin Gou's fault, no doubt about it! The person upstairs has an amazing mentality!]
Of course, we absolutely will not engage in internal strife!
[I have to say, this variety show completely captivated me; I didn't even have to go to the bathroom once. At first, I was thinking, "These questions are so simple, maybe they're just making things easier for the guests?" But it completely baffled me. I had absolutely no clue, just like the guests. And then, somehow, I passed the level?!]
Those clues were so deceptive; who wouldn't see them as leads? Especially the specially made key and the craftsmanship of the door to the restricted book section—it all defied logic.
What did you say?!
[I understand what the person upstairs said, but let me explain. It means that escape rooms and escape room reality shows usually spend more money on the mechanisms and useful parts, so they're generally well-made. To save on the budget, other parts are often rougher, so things that look different from the surroundings are usually obvious mechanisms or clues.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, then this variety show doesn't make any sense either!]
[Hey, isn't that a standard escape room technique? I heard that Director Lin's disaster movie was filmed entirely on location, and the shooting was terrifying. A friend told me it was incredibly realistic, especially the color of the liquid spraying out of the head; he said it was so lifelike. I feel like the makeup artists or props team at Feiyang Entertainment must have an absolute sense of color, or maybe someone with a deep understanding of this kind of thing, to achieve such a realistic effect.]
[Oh, I see! I thought this was the most fake part; I thought the octopus looked the most real.]
[It's all fake. Even the actor playing the scientist from country X isn't a foreigner. It was really filmed entirely on location! (〃'▽'〃)]
