Chapter 430

~7 min read 1,289 words

These few seconds felt like an entire century had passed.

"Who is going to explain this to me?"

"What happened to the 'difficulty' we were promised?"

"What happened to being trapped for half an hour!"

"It hasn't even been a damn minute, and the clue has already been found."

"What exactly are you level designers being paid for?"

"Holy crap, you can play it like this! Everyone else is searching through clothes, but Lin Yu is searching for seats. I have to say, Lin Yu's IQ is truly online the whole time."

"Thinking about it, this really is a trap set by the production team. They definitely wanted everyone to flip through the clothes and then listen to the recording again carefully to find the blind spot inside."

"To be able to spot the production team's trick in an instant, Lin Yu is just too amazing! I feel like if the guests from the previous episode were here, they would definitely be flipping through the costumes one by one and be stuck for at least half a day."

"Hahahaha! The production team must be dumbfounded right now. If they had known the target costume would be found so quickly, they wouldn't have prepared so many props."

"......"

On camera.

Da Da Zhangwei took the red performance costume down from the hanger.

He then sat down in the spot where Tao Wei had been.

Da Da Zhangwei looked for a long time, but didn't find anything unusual.

"In this mirror, it seems like you can see a calendar."

Yang Mi leaned down and saw an old, yellowed calendar hanging on the wall reflected in the mirror.

"There must be something significant about this calendar on the wall."

Zhang Zhang Yixing turned around, touched the paper of the calendar, and said confidently.

"Could it be something like a pattern?"

"Could it be a mirror image that needs to be viewed in reverse?"

"Are there any numbers in the mirror reflection that don't have a mirror image?"

Everyone voiced their own ideas and began to verify them one by one.

But after a long time, they didn't find anything different.

"This makes no sense!"

"Brother Yu, what are you doing?"

Peng Peng tilted his head, looking at the calendar, while his peripheral vision caught the busy Lin Yu.

After hearing Peng Peng's words, everyone shifted their gaze to Lin Yu.

They saw Lin Yu had found another set of performance costumes, and after taking the clothes off, he began studying the hangers.

"Brother Yu, did you find something?"

"Everyone look at these two hangers."

Lin Yu placed the two hangers together.

Peng Peng, Zhang Zhang Yixing, and the others crowded over, looked for quite a while, but didn't know what was different about them.

"Wait, why are there two patches of white paint on this hanger?"

Yang Mi blurted out, surprised.

"It really is."

"But what is the use of this?"

"There is only one hook here; I guess it's meant for hanging this hanger."

Lin Yu stood on his tiptoes and hung the clothes hanger onto the hook on the calendar.

Unexpectedly, there really was a new discovery.

"Hey, hey."

"It seems like there are two numbers in the gap between these two patches of white paint. Could this be..."

"That's right, this must be the clearance password."

"081522."

Peng Peng gathered his courage, went to the combination lock at the end of the dressing room, and pressed these numbers.

However.

The combination lock emitted a "beep" warning sound.

Wrong password?!

How could this be?

For a moment, everyone was at a loss.

Logically, Lin Yu's analysis was so meticulous, and the logic was almost flawless.

There shouldn't be any reason for it to be wrong!

"This should be viewed as a mirror image while sitting in front of the mirror!"

"802155!"

Lin Yu sat at Tao Wei's workstation, looked into the vanity mirror, and said leisurely.

"Wow, so that's how it is!"

"Brother Yu, you're awesome!"

"Is this what 'Escape the Room' is? One link after another; this level is simply explosive. It's a good thing we have Brother Yu, otherwise we'd all be stuck here."

"This password must be correct."

"Hahahaha."

"Just this? Just this?"

The members of the Honey Peach team were beaming with joy.

In their hearts, they admired Lin Yu to the point of prostration.

"Brother Yu, it's a waste if this brain doesn't go participate in 'Super Brain'."

"Lin Yu, you'd better hold back a bit, be careful of being sliced up for research."

"Sister Mi, you should wish me well!"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Peng Peng even had a smile on his face.

Reciting the password, he walked toward the combination lock.

And just at this moment.

The dressing room, which had just been brightly lit.

The lights flickered twice.

With a crackle.

It instantly went pitch black!

"Ah!"

"Don't! Don't!"

This sudden scene.

Scared Peng Peng out of his wits.

He scrambled back to the team in a panic.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed onto Huang Hou Minghao.

"Peng Peng, calm down."

"Holy crap."

Da Da Zhangwei had originally wanted to offer a few words of comfort.

However, the next moment.

They saw on the dressing room window.

A pitch-black ghostly shadow was clearly visible.

It was constantly rubbing its fingernails against the window, making a squeaking, ear-piercing sound...

"Ahhh!"

"Who? Who is that?"

"Mommy, this is too scary!"

"I can't play anymore, I can't keep playing."

All the members of the Honey Peach team huddled together.

Shivering all over from fear.

The atmosphere also began to become suffocating and tense.

"Ah! That ghost shadow looks like it's about to come in."

After Yang Mi said this, she was so scared she closed her eyes tightly.

"What should we do?"

"Should we run?"

Zhang Zhang Yixing wasn't very brave to begin with; at this moment, he was scared pale, his lips trembling constantly.

Is this a variety show?

This is damn near life-threatening!

He felt that even when he was dancing street dance before, his heart rate wasn't as high as it was now; his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.

This appearance fee isn't worth earning.

And upon seeing the ghost shadow, Peng Peng was so scared that tears almost burst out.

With one hand clutching Lin Yu's ankle and the other grabbing a chair leg, his whole body curled up like a deep-fried shrimp.

"Tch!"

"You really can't play fair, can you? Seeing us guess the password, you resort to dirty tricks, right?"

Lin Yu smacked his lips and complained calmly. Immediately, he patted Big Honey's shoulder.

He leaned down to soothe Peng Peng.

"......"

The ghost actor at the door, upon hearing Lin Yu's words, blushed.

He paused for a moment, then stopped lingering and walked away quickly.

The dressing room lights turned on again for the second or third time.

As if nothing had just happened.

"802155."

Lin Yu walked to the combination lock and quickly entered the numbers.

After a crisp "ding-dong" sound, the back door of the dressing room opened automatically.

Ah.

Before everyone's tense emotions could even slightly ease.

The lights disappeared again.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Peng Peng, where are you?"

When everyone calmed down, they found Peng Peng Yuchang kneeling on the ground again.

"Peng Peng."

"There is gold under a man's knees; you've been finding money all the way here."

Lin Yu joked with a smile.

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Yang Mi, Huang Hou Minghao, and the others giggled.

It's a good thing they have Lin Yu, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to stay in this terrifying atmosphere for even a second.
