Chapter 94: Su Yun Jiao was taken away

Su Yun Jiao knew the Escape Room was dark inside, but she didn't expect it to be this dark.

She had a slight night blindness, and now in this place where you can't see your hand in front of your face, she can't catch her breath.

Lu Chi noticed Su Yun Jiao's fear; he had known since childhood that she suffered from night blindness.

But just now, when they were doing the Escape Room, he didn't remind Su Yun Jiao.

He had wanted Su Yun Jiao to taste a bit of hardship, but now he regrets it.

At that moment, Zhou Xian found a clue, and they entered a room.

The room smelled of mold, mixed with a nauseating stench of blood.

Su Yun Jiao covered her nose as several people squeezed into a room whose decor looked fine, yet everywhere revealed an eerie quality.

And at some point, a three-foot length of white silk had been let down.

The girls who saw this almost panicked and fled.

Only the boys on site appeared somewhat calmer.

"This white silk seems to have writing."

He was the first to notice writing on the white silk.

It was likely written in blood with a few characters.

"Mountains have no tombs, heaven and earth unite—then I dare to break with you."

Su Yun Jiao furrowed her brows.

Could this be where the Ghost Bride died?

"We can't get out! How did we suddenly become unable to leave?"

Qin Xue had wanted to go out and look, but when she tried to open the door she found it tightly shut, with no exit in sight.

The house inside was gloomy everywhere, making everyone feel terrified.

"What are we to do?"

"What else can we do? Of course we follow the clues out."

Zhou Tingting, hearing Qin Xue's earlier remark, felt speechless.

Since it's an Escape Room, we naturally need to find a way out—could we really just wait here for someone to rescue us?

Qin Xue also realized her question was foolish.

She could only give an embarrassed laugh.

Their main priority now is to figure out how to get out.

Several people quickly began searching for clues inside, but then a strange sound came from outside.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old woman's voice sounded especially strange.

From inside the house, everyone could only see a hunched figure.

Su Yun Jiao steeled herself and asked, "Who are you?"

When they arrived, there was no one there.

After Su Yun Jiao asked that, the old woman outside the window suddenly opened a crack in the door, reached out a hand to her, saying, "Come over, come here—I have a secret to tell you..."

The old woman's voice was frightening; Su Yun Jiao looked at the outstretched hand, about to go, when Lu Jingqing reached out and stopped her.

"She tells you to come over, so you just go?"

"If I don't go over, how am I supposed to get the clue?"

Su Yun Jiao realized that in this Escape Room, the goal was to get the clue from the NPC's hand.

Otherwise they'd never get out.

"I'll go."

Just as Lu Jingqing was about to go over, the other party spoke again: "I only want this little girl to come over. No one else may approach, or else none of you will ever be able to leave."

Hearing that, Su Yun Jiao helplessly shook her head and said, "See? She's letting me come over."

Su Yun Jiao walked to the door's side, but the old woman's hand suddenly seized her arm.

The next second, Su Yun Jiao felt a strong force pulling her out.

Everyone seeing this was terrified, especially Zhou Tingting, who shouted, "Quickly go chase after her!"

Lu Jingqing reached the door a step ahead of Zhou Tingting, but the room's door would not open.

"Quick, think of another way to get out fast."

Zhou Tingting said: "Su Yun Jiao must be out there on a solo mission; we can only get out after solving the clues in this room."

"Not right."

Zhou Xian's brows furrowed: "According to the rules, NPCs can't touch players—this isn't our NPC!"

Realizing this, Zhou Tingting froze: "How could this be? It's not our NPC—who is it then?"

Lu Chi's face turned pale: "The walkie-talkie! Quickly tell the people on the other side—get out right away!"

Zhou Xian immediately pulled out the walkie-talkie and said to the staff on the other end: "Quick! Let us out!"

Upon hearing Zhou Xian's words, the staff immediately sent someone over.

The staff quickly opened the Escape Room's door.

They still didn't know what had happened until they checked the surveillance, only then discovering that the NPC who should have been at the next checkpoint had appeared here.

The manager's face changed in an instant: "Grandfather, I don't know what's going on either; I'll find out right away and see where this person sneaked in from."

Saying that, the manager looked toward the people around, trying to get from these few employees' mouths where this NPC came from.

Lu Chi had no mind to listen to these; he immediately dialed the police.

Because they had just discovered that the back door of the Escape Room had been opened, Su Yun Jiao and that NPC were now missing.

This place is in the mountains; the signal was never good.

Seeing the other party want to call the police, the manager immediately said, "We can't call the police, young master; if we do, trouble will surely follow."

Their shop had just opened, not even a year yet, and then a kidnapping case occurred.

After this, their business will surely be ruined.

Who would have thought Zhou Xian's face would darken, saying, "Call the police immediately."

Lu Chi, seeing Zhou Xian say that, then without hesitation dialed the police.

"Wait, where did Lu Jingqing go? How is he missing?"

Zhou Tingting turned around and immediately noticed Lu Jingqing was gone.

And the car at the entrance seemed to have been driven away.

Qin Xue, who had never seen such a scene before, also turned pale.

Zhou Xian said, "You two girls wait here; I'll call the hotel right away to send a car to pick you up."

Zhou Xian also looked at Lu Chi beside him and said, "Lu Chi, you stay here with me and wait for the police."

"No way, I have to go find Su Yun Jiao!"

Lu Chi frowned and said, "You have no idea how many people want to kidnap Su Yun Jiao; if something happens to her, I can't explain it to my mother."

"What good would it do you to go? You'd just cause more trouble; this should be left to the police to handle."

Zhou Xian looked at the manager beside him and said, "Immediately gather everyone to search for Su Yun Jiao; we must find her, collect the surrounding surveillance footage, and find out who disguised themselves as staff to enter the secret room."

"Yes, young master."

The staff quickly went down to send people to search.

Lu Chi took out his phone, called home, and said, "Send people immediately to Zhou Tang Hot Spring Resort."
