He Zhou’s cold gaze on He Jing and Yan Hanxi dissipated. Expressionlessly, he said, “I couldn’t find her. The staff managing the secret room said she joined another team with a new entry ticket, so I went looking for her.”
“Eh?” He Sui asked, “Then how did you get in, Third Brother? Did you buy another ticket?”
“There was soone at the entrance, too scared to enter. He gave his ticket in exchange for all the points I got.”
He Jing understood. Cheng Yi must have already co in contact with Chen Yu.
Although she did not know why the plot had beco more and more ridiculous after she transmigrated, the entanglent between the female lead and the male supporting characters should not change.
After all, He Ning still liked Cheng Yi. Only Yan Hanxi, who had the sa status as Cheng Yi, had changed.
He Ning had finished questioning He Zhou and was about to do the sa for He Jing. However, when he turned to her, his lips moved, but no words ca out.
If a man and a woman were left alone in such a dark place, it was obvious that they would do sothing.
He Jing noticed He Sui’s flushed face and could not help but tilt her head questioningly. As if sensing the awkward atmosphere, she quickly said, “I had so things to discuss with Yan Hanxi. Although dark inside, many surveillance caras are stationed along the route, capturing what’s going on live. Why don’t we think of a way to conquer Secret Room 05? From here on, we’ll need to work in pairs since that’s the only number allowed for each group.”
That was true…
The flush on He Sui’s face faded, but he was still dissatisfied. “If you have any questions, you can ask . Why do you keep following that boy?”
Yan Hanxi chuckled softly but did not comnt.
He Zhou glared at him. He was furious! How could he not be after what he had seen?
Having decided on a course of action, the group focused on clearing Secret
Room 5. The director of the Chamber of Horrors had said that starting from Secret Room 05, the difficulty of all subsequent levels would see a sharp spike.
To escape, they would have to change tactics.
He Jing was paired with Yan Hanxi, He Sui with Shen Qiuyu, He Ning with Wu Yu, and He Yi with He Chen.
He Yi and He Chen looked at each other and saw disgust and helplessness in each other’s eyes.
They would rather act alone than escape from the secret room together.
Only He Zhou was left…
“I’ll leave the most important part to you. Take good care of Xiaoguo,” He Ning said.
Since Secret Room 05 only allowed groups of two to enter, He Xiaoguo could not follow He Jing and Yan Hanxi. He Zhou was the closest to He Xiaoguo, so he was the ideal choice to ensure nothing happened to their youngest sibling. He Zhou had no objections and waited by the side for He Xiaoguo to appear.
“Let’s go,” He Jing said to Yan Hanxi.
Everyone went their separate ways, entering different rooms.
Secret Room 05 was special in that, though they could only form teams of two, each team was still linked to the group as a whole. Each group had a chance to contact each other and pass on important clues to help their counterparts conquer the room. Those who could not escape would not have the chance to move on to Secret Room 06.
To say they were all feeling pressure would be the understatent of the century.
Fortunately, this secret chamber was not as challenging as He Jing had thought. After gathering all the clues, she contacted the others.
He Jing mulled over the clues in deep thought. There were four of them: a pair of n’s glasses, a watch, a girl’s diary, and… Two of the four clues did not match. She was obviously looking at a pair of real and fake clues. The question was which was which?
He Jing was silent for a ti. She decided to ask Yan Hanxi for his opinion.
Yan Hanxi was standing sideways with his back facing her. He was admiring the bloody paintings lining the walls. He may have looked indifferent, but the pink tinge to his ears gave him away.
He Jing was speechless.
Was he trying to help her solve the riddle?
He Jing frowned slightly and was about to question him when she realized sothing was off. She was holding onto a bra. Her face burned with embarrassnt, and she quickly stuffed the bra back into the box, closing it with a bang.
She did her best to feign calm, sneering. “I didn’t expect you to be so innocent. What happened to that shaless tease who tornted just now? Haven’t you been to the won’s section in a departnt store? You might even need to help your girlfriend pick her bras.”
Yan Hanxi finally turned around. His eyes fell on the box. Three seconds later, his eyes darted around.. Leering, he asked in a particularly ambiguous manner,
“Oh? Then what color do you like?”
