Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused. Had these people really created an escape room that she couldn't escape from? She quickly and secretly looked at the information about this episode of the escape room.
She didn't intentionally skip watching it beforehand. She originally only put together the variety show to put Li Yishan at ease. Although most of the investment went into her own pocket, she didn't really care about it.
But she hadn't expected Feiyang Entertainment to be so powerful now; even she, the boss, was starting to feel a little insecure. No wonder ancient emperors feared their courtiers; which emperor wouldn't be constantly on edge, afraid of being overthrown, when faced with courtiers who were all more capable than themselves?
But as much as she was afraid, she felt a little guilty for not being worthy of her position. As for ancient political maneuvering, she didn't dare to think about it. With their abilities, it didn't matter where they worked or who they worked for, so she might as well play dumb, pay them enough wages, ensure they had the holidays, and not boast about the benefits.
Lin Xiaoxiao, having regained her composure, breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the information. There was still a way to escape; it wasn't that it was particularly difficult, but it was probably hard for anyone to think of it.
What kind of locked room is it if it doesn't have a real exit?
Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, but the guests in the recording studio were already somewhat panicked. Now, the only thing keeping them from completely losing their way was that sliver of hope.
But usually, even if you know there's a glimmer of hope, in practice, it's often just hindsight. Even they don't know if the exit they've chosen is truly a glimmer of hope; they can only be certain that there is one among these exits.
Is there really no way out?!
[Normally, it should be there, but if it's Lin Gou (Lin Gengxin), it's not necessarily true.]
[Won't it be like last time, where we have to wait for the timer to finish?]
Du Ruoxi looked around, recalling what others had said. The design of this secret room was very meaningful, so could the way out be hidden within it?
Xiao Bai offered his opinion, "Let's open this VIP room. I have a feeling there might be clues inside."
"We've already searched this area thoroughly..."
Sena held up several slips of paper and announced to the crowd, "I found the IOUs for all six of us!"
The group quickly checked the receipts, and ten million yuan in usurious loan agreements appeared in everyone's hands. At this moment, the lights above the circular gambling table in the center of the casino began to flash, illuminating each IOU in a dazzling display.
"Is it because there's an IOU that there are no other clues?"
"I'm wondering if we should have to erase this IOU?"
When Xiao Bai first received the IOU, his heart almost stopped beating. The signature was exactly the same, and it even had his usual dot.
He almost thought his life was over. He wanted to tear up the IOU prop, but he was afraid it would be of no use.
"This locked room is strange, no, perhaps the casino itself is strange. It wants you to gamble, but as we just discussed, if you gamble in this locked room, you might not be able to escape. So where is the glimmer of hope?"
Cao Mingxian hesitated for a moment before raising her hand. "I've discovered a machine that can transfer debts to other people."
The other five were stunned upon hearing this. "Where?"
A machine that looks just like any other slot machine can be used to transfer debts. Is this meant to incite infighting among them?
Yang Hao didn't know how many people could actually escape from that sliver of hope. After letting out a long sigh, he said, "How about you transfer all your debts to me? Maybe then the rest of you can escape."
Xin Xiulan frowned, disagreeing. "I don't think it's that simple. If this casino is really like we suspect, where once you're in, you can't get out, then our only chance might be related to gambling. Even if we're free of debt, if we don't gamble, we might still be unable to leave. But once we start gambling, we probably won't be able to get out either."
The group tried to ignore the debt transfer machine and continue searching for a way out, but four people were eliminated one after another.
[This is outrageous! Senna was eliminated just by touching the side exit door.]
[That's nothing. Cao Mingxian was eliminated just for touching the fountain sculpture. Who would have thought there was a secret passage after touching the fountain sculpture!]
Yang Hao probably didn't expect that the debt transfer opportunity would eliminate him so easily. He was trying to secretly transfer other people's debts onto himself, and after only transferring one person's debt, he was eliminated.
[Xin Xiulan pulls off another stunning opening! She finally gets into the VIP room, only to be eliminated again. Sister Lan, you really have it tough!]
Only two left, and time is running out. It seems like they won't be able to escape this episode.
Du Ruoxi had a general idea of what was going on. "Xiaobai, I've suddenly come up with a clue, but I'm not sure. There's a possibility I'll be eliminated. Are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Xiao Bai nodded, "It's okay, the worst that can happen is that this round fails, so it's not a big deal."
At least he wasn't eliminated at the beginning of this season, so he should be content. After all, one can't always want everything.
"Xiaobai, put this on and stand inside."
Xiao Bai took the purplish-red clothes from Du Ruoxi's hand with some confusion; it was a set of clothes.
"Is it okay to just wear a vest?"
Du Ruoxi pointed to the room next door, "There's a changing room inside, you should put your clothes on."
Xiao Bai changed his clothes and came out quickly. Before he came out, he looked in the decorative mirror next to him and found that it was actually a men's dealer's outfit.
