But soon, their expressions tightened again.

"Where's Brother Yu?"

"Where did Lin Yu go?"

"Holy crap! He wasn't snatched away, was he?"

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

However, the next moment.

They heard two heart-wrenching screams from outside the room.

It turned out that after Lin Yu led the team into the room, his playful nature kicked in.

He secretly hid in a corner.

"Pfft! These celebrities are truly... small-hearted."

"Hahaha, that's right! Not one of them is useful."

The two special actors, watching the Honey Peach members fleeing in a sorry state, couldn't help but laugh and tease.

"But don't say, when the production team built this escape room, it seemed to be a wasteland before. Do you think there could really be ghosts?"

One special actor pursed his lips, looking at this pitch-black corridor where you couldn't see your fingers, and said nervously.

"Hard to say."

"Hey! You pervert, don't touch my foot."

The other person suddenly felt a force coming from his ankle and said irritably.

"Are you sick? Why are you touching my butt?"

"This kind of joke can't be made! My orientation is perfectly normal."

"......"

After the two finished speaking, the air instantly froze.

Could it be?

Is there a third person here?

Thinking of this, the breathing of the two big men became heavy.

The next moment.

Lin Yu sprang up directly from the ground.

And seeing the figure suddenly leaping up beside them, the two burly men.

Were instantly scared silly.

They let out a "macho" scream.

And hugged each other tightly.

"Yo-ho."

"Quite affectionate."

After Lin Yu threw out this sentence, he leisurely opened the door and, as if nothing had happened, returned to the room.

The live stream saw this scene.

And it completely exploded.

"Hahahaha, dying of laughter, Brother Yu, you're too mean!"

"I suggest Brother Yu take over for Uncle Nine and revive the glory of zombie movies."

"One thing to say, with Lin Yu's big heart, even Sadako would have to lie by the well and watch honestly."

On camera.

"Brother Yu, where did you go?"

"This should be the rehearsal room."

After observing, everyone discovered that this should be the theater's rehearsal room.

At the very end of the rehearsal room, there was a large box.

A line of small text was carved on it.

[When the sealed lock becomes the key, you can open my heart.]

"Why is there a cheesy pickup line here?"

Lin Yu frowned and shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Pfft, can you be serious!"

Yang Mi curled her lips and pushed Lin Yu.

"I want to open your heart."

Lin Yu turned his head.

With his back to the camera, he mouthed to Yang Mi.

Yang Mi saw Lin Yu's lips, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly used her palm as a fan to fan her shy cheeks.

He's too good at flirting, this kid is really too good at flirting!

[Find the correct shape to open the box.]

On the box, there was a lock shaped like a key.

There were six yellow buttons on top and five black buttons below.

They formed the tooth pattern of this key lock.

"Oh my."

"This is too hard."

"What could these buttons represent?"

Zhang Zhang Yixing scratched his head, confused.

"Six, six, six... could it have something to do with some idiom?"

Da Da Zhangwei had a sudden inspiration.

"'Six, six, six'... 'Six relatives don't recognize' (heartless)?"

Peng Peng's eyes rolled.

"Hahaha, what 'six relatives don't recognize', stop talking nonsense."

"Brother Yu, do you have any ideas?"

Huang Hou Minghao turned to look at Lin Yu.

In the last episode, everyone was still working together to solve the puzzles.

But with Lin Yu, it was like having a cheat code, and everything became simple.

The amount of information given in this level was really too little.

Even for Lin Yu.

He thought for quite a while.

"Numbers! Buttons! Key! Lock!"

"Could it be Morse code?"

Yang Mi bit her lip, tilted her head, and guessed.

"Morse code?"

"Hey, could this have something to do with English letters?"

After Lin Yu proposed this line of thought.

It instantly pointed out a direction for everyone.

"Then the six buttons on top are 'yellow'."

"The five black buttons below could be 'black'."

"Between 'black' and 'yellow', there is exactly the key 'key'."

Yang Mi's reaction was very fast.

Big Honey herself was admitted to school with the top score in cultural subjects at the Beijing Film Academy.

Plus the academic genes of her family.

She immediately connected.

The connection between colors and English.

"It opened! The box really opened!"

Peng Peng stepped forward and pressed the English letters for 'key'.

Sure enough, the box opened in response.

Outside the monitor.

The director's team looked at the screen and their mouths twitched.

This efficiency is truly too fast!

Now they aren't worried about ratings.

Instead, they are a bit worried that they won't have enough levels left.

According to Lin Yu's progress, it's equivalent to having just said goodbye to Emperor Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Li Shimin, in the morning, and by the afternoon, he's already drinking tea with the Tathagata Buddha at the Great Thunder Sound Temple; it's just too outrageous.

"Holy crap, is there a linguistics angle too? He could even think of that? Too outrageous!"

"I've discovered that Lin Yu and Yang Mi are really a good match; there's a feeling of 'the husband sings and the wife follows', making me show an auntie smile outside the screen."

"Who says it isn't! It's just too shippable, I'm completely watching this episode as an idol drama."

"Numbers! Colors! Languages! I feel like the escape room levels in this episode are really designed to be so complex!"

"For the first time, I feel like learning a foreign language is so useful."

"Reminds me of a line from Titanic, 'Jack-Slovakia'!"

"Holy crap, buddy, you're watching the adult version, right! The speed is a bit fast!"

"......"

On camera.

The wooden box was opened.

Inside was a cowhide-colored envelope.

They also found an irregular blue-green Z-shaped wooden block that looked like Lego.

On it was drawn a 180-degree direction sign.

"What does the letter say?"

"I'll read it for everyone."

As he spoke, Da Da Zhangwei opened the envelope.

"Tao Wei, you have been gone for over ten years."

"I have never dared to leave this theater, always waiting, perhaps one day you will return. I come to this room every day to admire your beautiful dance, and only after dancing with you do I reluctantly leave. I hope that in this lifetime I still have a chance to see you, to be able to beg for your forgiveness and pardon in person."

"——Roger, 1925."

"Hey! How did another Roger pop up?"

"Looking at this content, 'gone for over ten years', it should be after Tao Wei went missing."

Huang Hou Minghao frowned.

How is this matter getting more and more complicated?

"This is indeed a suspicious point; didn't Edward want to propose to Tao Wei before?"

"How did a third party pop up again?"

Zhang Zhang Yixing supported his chin and pondered carefully.

"It shouldn't be a third party; this letter was written in 1925, and Tao Wei left in 1915."

"At that time, Edward had already passed away."

Peng Peng added from the side.

"There is another point that is quite scary; it says Roger has to dance with Tao Wei every day before leaving."

"Is it a Tao Wei in his imagination or...?"

Yang Mi didn't dare to continue analyzing.

"Let's study this thing on the ground first!"

Lin Yu pointed to the strange control lever that had just been flipped out of the box and changed the subject.

"Everyone look around, where in this room can we insert this control lever?"

Lin Yu said, leading everyone to start searching.

The rehearsal room wasn't big.

Soon, everyone discovered several loose clothes hooks on the wall.

The hole left after taking them down was exactly the same size and shape as the control lever.

"Wow! We are truly smart."

"Yeah, this episode, with Brother Yu's help, it's been so smooth."

Zhang Zhang Yixing said, then inserted the control lever into the triangular hole high on the wall.

However, the next moment.

The mirror in the rehearsal room suddenly lit up.

What was hair-raising was that on the other side of the mirror, clearly visible, under the spotlight, was a girl bowing in a ballet skirt.

"Ah!"

"Holy crap!"

"Mommy! What is this?"

Everyone's eyes widened, feeling a cold wind hitting their spines, and they all retreated sharply in fear.

They leaned against the wall on the other side.

And on the other side of the mirror.

Under the spotlight, the eerie ballet dancer was expressionless, like a puppet mannequin, first standing straight mechanically, and then remaining motionless.

"This, this, this, why is she stuck here?"

Da Da Zhangwei, in his anxiety, stuttered a bit.

"It should need to rotate this control lever."

"To the 180-degree position."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and said leisurely.

Zhang Zhang Yixing, hearing this, applied force to his hand.

Accompanied by a series of gear sounds, the control lever was turned to the 180-degree position.

"It moved! It moved!"

When the control lever reached the correct angle.

The ballet dancer on the other side of the mirror also began to move her body mechanically.

This dance was extremely eerie, with no beauty to speak of, just like a little person on a music box, all puppet-like movements.

"She dances so mechanically!"

"So amazing!"

Yang Mi couldn't help but clap and praise.

And just after dancing for a while, the dancer suddenly stopped abruptly, and the lights went out as well.

???

Everyone was a bit confused seeing this.

What's the situation with this dance that has no beginning or end?

What exactly is the meaning?

"We should watch it again."

"This dance might contain the password to open the door."

Huang Hou Minghao had a flash of inspiration and blurted out.

"Right, right, right, there must be some numbers or some valid information in her dance moves."

Da Da Zhangwei widened his eyes and said firmly.

"Okay."

Peng Peng took the initiative to step forward this time and turned the control lever back 180 degrees.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, the spotlight on the other side of the mirror turned on again.

The dancer returned to her previous position.
