"Teacher Xu, what a coincidence, I actually ran into you."
Chu Zhaozhao took the initiative to greet Xu Yu, and Xu Yu nodded.
"Since we are partners, let's work together." Xu Yu extended his hand generously to shake hands with Chu Zhaozhao.
"Teacher Xu, please take care of us. I believe that with the aura of the movie star, we will definitely be able to escape from this secret room."
Chu Zhaozhao was saying some polite words, and soon their next task came.
Today's topic is a Chinese wedding. The task card prompts them to wear Chinese wedding clothes before they can walk normally in the village.
Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu hid immediately and were not discovered by the villagers.
"Teacher Xu, there is a clothing store over there."
"It's a bit far, and it may not be convenient for us to go there. Besides, the owner of the clothing store may not give us clothes." Xu Yu analyzed calmly.
Chu Zhaozhao looked at the villagers gathered around him and said, "Teacher Xu, I'll lead them away. You go into the clothing store and have a good talk with the owner."
"I'll go distract these villagers. You go into the clothing store."
Xu Yu pulled Chu Zhaozhao back and ran out himself.
The villagers caught up with Xu Yu's pace and chased after him. Chu Zhaozhao immediately ran into the clothing store.
Through the glass of the clothing store, Chu Zhaozhao saw that Xu Yu had already climbed onto the overpass and was preparing to go around to the clothing store from the other side.
"Who are you!"
The boss was alert, pressing the alarm button with one hand.
Once the police were called, the villagers would be attracted. Chu Zhaozhao signaled to her boss that she was a good person.
"Boss, we are from the detective agency. We heard that a girl named Xiaoqing is missing. We were asked by her brother to come to the village to look for her."
"Xiaoqing, she has been missing for many years, and her brother has also disappeared long ago. Who would ask you to look for her?" The actor said his lines seriously.
Chu Zhaozhao took out the letter of authorization and showed it to the boss. After the boss confirmed that it was Xiaoqing's brother's handwriting, he released the button.
Xu Yu went back from the overpass and entered the clothing store through the window.
"Boss, don't press it, don't press it. This is my partner. We are both from the detective agency." Chu Zhaozhao immediately stopped the boss.
The boss asked, “What do you need?”
"Our task card reminds us that we need to change into the village's clothes before we can walk around the village normally. Boss, I'd like to ask if you can sell us two sets of clothes?" Chu Zhaozhao said politely.
The boss shook his head and said, "The clothes in the village are all accounted for. Unless you are willing to do one thing for me, I will give you two sets of clothes."
Since they had a task, Xu Yu and Chu Zhaozhao readily accepted it. However, this task required them to cross half the village to find someone and bring something back.
"The villagers outside are running very fast. I'll go and you hide here." After saying that, Xu Yu walked to the window again.
The villagers outside the door also surrounded the windows. Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu could not get out, and they had a feeling that they were going to break the door down at any second.
"What should we do? We can't get out." Chu Zhaozhao said with an anxious look.
"Is there a tunnel here?"
Xu Yu squatted down and knocked hard, and found that the floor under it sounded hollow. Xu Yu lifted the carpet and crawled into the tunnel first.
The boss stuffed a lamp into their hands, and Chu Zhaozhao took it and went into the tunnel.
Just as Xu Yu and Chu Zhaozhao entered the tunnel, the villagers outside broke in. Having lost their target, they returned to normal.
The two people were a bit crowded in the tunnel and almost leaned against each other.
The photographers couldn't enter the tunnel, so they had to wear a camera on their heads.
"Are you afraid of the dark?" Xu Yu turned around and asked Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao shook his head and found that there was an exit on the left and another on the right.
"You choose which way to go." Xu Yu gave the decision to Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao remembered that there was a map with green lines before he came in. Chu Zhaozhao guessed that it was a map of the underground tunnel.
"If we're going to cross half the village, we should go to the right. It should be a straight road."
After Chu Zhaozhao finished speaking, Xu Yu took the lead.
After the two walked for a while, the road ahead suddenly became very low and they had to crawl forward.
"I'll be lighting from the front, you grab my clothes and follow me." Xu Yu took the light and said.
Chu Zhaozhao hesitated for a while and grabbed Xu Yu's clothes.
"There is light ahead, so we should be able to get through." Xu Yu guessed.
The two men didn't dare to stay in the tunnel for long and crawled forward as fast as they could.
With a "boom", a mechanism was triggered in the tunnel behind Chu Zhaozhao, and some very strange noises were heard.
"Xu Yu!"
Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu were separated by a mechanism. Xu Yu immediately turned around and tried to remove the mechanism.
"Why didn't the mechanism get triggered when I came over, but it got triggered as soon as you came over?" Xu Yu said as he groped on the wall.
Chu Zhaozhao didn't know why, but she saw some words on her wall and read them out.
"Let me go?"
Chu Zhaozhao looked at the words in confusion.
Some words also appeared on Xu Yu's wall, in red paint, gradually emerging on the wall.
"Take her and leave this village quickly, otherwise she will have to stay here forever."
Xu Yu and Chu Zhaozhao both shuddered.
After reciting these words, the mechanism is eliminated.
"It looks like it's not a mechanism, but a hint for us." Chu Zhaozhao said in a low voice.
By this point in the program recording, Chu Zhaozhao had already forgotten that he was recording a program. He could only say that the setting was very authentic and the plot was very contagious.
They could stand up and walk on the road ahead. Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu dusted off the dust on their bodies and moved forward.
Xu Yu held Chu Zhaozhao's hand. Chu Zhaozhao was a little surprised, but her expression looked calm.
"Teacher Xu, are those words telling us that there is something wrong with everyone in our village?" Chu Zhaozhao asked.
"I can't say anything about everyone, but at least this village chief is very strange. We haven't seen him yet, and the villagers don't allow outsiders to come in."
Xu Yu and Chu Zhaozhao analyzed the situation briefly and came out of the tunnel.
After coming out of the tunnel, Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu ran into Wu Rui and Wu Tong.
"You two are partners, what a coincidence." Wu Rui greeted them in a low voice.
The four people hid in the bushes and chatted briefly, exchanging existing information.
"This Xiaoqing, she must have been trafficked to this village. We saw her letters, and her brother has been looking for her. Her brother is a designer."
"Designer, could he be the owner of the clothing store just now?" Chu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Yu.
Wu Tong added: "We actually suspected Xiaoqing was dead because we met a child who told us that something had happened in the village reservoir."
After Wu Tong said this, Chu Zhaozhao felt goosebumps all over his body.
"No wonder we encountered those words in the tunnel. It turned out to be Xiaoqing's advice to us."
Chu Zhaozhao spoke softly, and Xu Yu's expression froze instantly.
