Chapter 46 : Escape Room, Timid Lin Xiaowan
Seeing one girl after another coming out in tears, the queue outside was getting longer, and most of the boys accompanied the girls.
It was evident that girls were truly a contradictory group, lacking a clear understanding of their own abilities and seeking excitent unnecessarily.
Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan, whose face had turned a bit pale, feeling sowhat sympathetic. “If you’re really scared, we won’t play this. We can go for the activities you ntioned.”
Lin Xiaowan shook her head. “So many girls are playing it; it ans this activity is interesting. It’s just that their tolerance level is low. I want to give it a try.”
Courting death~!! Indeed, no woman could escape the law of courting death.
“I did advise you earlier. Don’t cry later and let others think I bullied you,” Su Lin teased with a smile.
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin coquettishly. “I won’t be like them.”
After a long one-hour wait in line, it was finally Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan’s turn. Lin Xiaowan carefully read the instructions on the wall. Su Lin gave her a tug, and they approached together.
“Are you two playing the two-player mission or the single-player mission?”
Su Lin glanced at Lin Xiaowan and said, “Let’s go for the two-player mission.”
He then said, “Go inside, and rember not to run around inside. Pay attention to your girlfriend; if you can’t continue, shout loudly, and a staff mber will guide you out.”
Su Lin nodded.
The two entered through the door. As the door closed, the interior beca pitch black.
Lin Xiaowan grabbed Su Lin’s wrist in the darkness. “Su Lin, why is it so dark in here?”
“I’ve never been here; how could I know what it’s like inside? Hold onto , and I’ll lead you.”
Su Lin had enhanced night vision abilities throughout his body, and he could see clearly inside after a short period of adaptation.
After walking through two corridors, they reached a door reminiscent of ancient tis. This type of wooden door was rare in Zhongjiang nowadays. The door looked shabby, with two worn-out lanterns hanging above it.
“Xiaowan… Xiaowan?”
“Ah~! Where are we, Su Lin?”
“We’ve reached the door to the escape room. Xiaowan, you’re not going to keep your eyes closed the whole ti, are you?” Su Lin asked with a sweatdrop.
“Ah~! It’s so bright outside, and it’s so dark here.”
“Hehe~! It’s okay; there’s light now. You can open your eyes.”
“Oh~! Okay!”
Lin Xiaowan slowly opened her eyes. “Ah~! Where is this? How did it suddenly change to this?”
Before Su Lin could respond, the staff began explaining the task. “Dear players, welco to the escape room. You need to find three clues within the specified ti and use those clues to find the key. Only after obtaining the key can you leave the escape room.”
“Now, for the first task, players must enter the escape room, find a missing morial tablet, and place it on the ancestral hall’s tablet stand.”
Su Lin had one arm around Lin Xiaowan’s shoulder and gently patted her head.
Mmm~!! It felt very comfortable.
Su Lin had wanted to do this for a long ti. Lin Xiaowan gave him the feeling of a noble Persian cat. He used to only dream about it, but now he could actually touch her head.
“Xiaowan, don’t be nervous. Let’s complete the task first.”
“Su… Su Lin, why is this place scarier than a haunted house?” Lin Xiaowan said with a trembling voice.
“Hehe~! Otherwise, why would it be called an escape room? Co on~!” Su Lin led Lin Xiaowan into the room.
The room’s furnishings were exquisite, typical of the Qing Dynasty style. There was a table on the left and right, each with two chairs, and another table with two chairs directly in front. On the table were teapots and teacups, but there was no water.
Su Lin scan the room but didn’t find anything suspicious.
“Su Lin, I see the morial tablet,” Lin Xiaowan exclaid with excitent. She let go of Su Lin’s hand and moved to pick it up.
Su Lin sighed; sotis, she was timid, while other tis, she was quite brave. Just like now, she dared to go alone. Su Lin was willing to bet that this morial tablet wouldn’t be easy to obtain.
Lin Xiaowan picked up the morial tablet. At that mont, Su Lin heard a “piu~” sound, and a figure popped up from behind Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan was about to turn around to find Su Lin when she saw a pale person right in front of her, staring at her.
“Why… Why did you take my morial tablet?”
“Ah~! Ghost…!” Lin Xiaowan dropped the morial tablet and tried to run outside.
Su Lin imdiately scooped her up. “It’s fake, it’s fake~!! That’s fake.”
“Ghost, Su Lin… there’s a ghost.”
Su Lin patted Lin Xiaowan’s back and shouted, “It’s fake; that’s a fake person.” He carried Lin Xiaowan and moved closer. “Look carefully.”
“No, no, no… I won’t look.”
“You look; it’s really fake.” Su Lin wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t. If he laughed now, Lin Xiaowan would surely hold a grudge, and she’d find a way to get back at him later.
“I won’t look; I won’t look.”
Su Lin was a bit helpless and kicked the fake person. “It’s really fake; see, I kicked it.”
“Players, please do not damage the props~!!”
Su Lin: “…”
Lin Xiaowan: “…”
“Is it really fake?”
“Open your eyes and see; it’s definitely fake.”
Lin Xiaowan finally opened her eyes and looked at the fake person. Indeed, it was fake, and it looked very fake. Perhaps Su Lin had kicked it too hard; the fake person fell to the side, revealing the straw inside.
Lin Xiaowan: “???”
“I told you it’s fake. Co on, let’s return the morial tablet.” Su Lin smiled and gently put Lin Xiaowan down.
Lin Xiaowan blushed a bit. She hadn’t felt much when Su Lin held her tightly earlier, but now, thinking about how she was held by Su Lin, his strong chest…
She started thinking in the wrong direction.
“Alright, let’s go return the morial tablet.”
